EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" mean CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to the "Operating Partnership" mean CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. The terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the context requires.

The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At June 30, 2017, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 84.8% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by the Company of 85.8%.

As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company's subsidiary, CBL Holdings I, Inc., has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's activities. Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Company consists of the same individuals that manage the Operating Partnership. The Company's only material asset is its indirect ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Company conducts substantially all its business through the Operating Partnership as described in the preceding paragraph. The Company also issues public equity from time to time and guarantees certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all of the assets and indebtedness of the Company and, through affiliates, retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. Except for the net proceeds of offerings of equity by the Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units on a one-for-one basis, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business through its operations and its incurrence of indebtedness.

We believe that combining the two quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the Company and the Operating Partnership provides the following benefits:

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

• eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation, since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and

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

To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate condensed consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests, shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. A single set of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements is presented that includes separate discussions for the Company and the Operating Partnership, when applicable. A combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is also included that presents combined information and discrete information related to each entity, as applicable.

In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report includes the following sections that provide separate financial and other information for the Company and the Operating Partnership:

• condensed consolidated financial statements;

• certain accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, including Note 5 - Unconsolidated Affiliates and Noncontrolling Interests; Note 6 - Mortgage and Other Indebtedness, Net; Note 7 - Comprehensive Income; and Note 11 - Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit;

• controls and procedures in Item 4 of Part I of this report;

• information concerning unregistered sales of equity securities and use of proceeds in Item 2 of Part II of this report; and

• certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits 31.1 through 32.4.

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.

CBL & Associates Limited Partnership

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except per share and per unit data)

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" mean CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to the "Operating Partnership" mean CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries.

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (“CBL”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers and office properties.  Its properties are located in 26 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.

CBL conducts substantially all of its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), which is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). In accordance with the guidance in Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 810, Consolidations, the Company is exempt from providing further disclosures related to the Operating Partnership's VIE classification. The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.  As of June 30, 2017, the Operating Partnership owned interests in the following properties:

	Malls (1)	Associated Centers	Community Centers	Office Buildings		Total
Consolidated properties	61	20	4	5	(2)	90
Unconsolidated properties (3)	9	3	5	—		17
Total	70	23	9	5		107

(1) Category consists of regional malls, open-air centers and outlet centers (including one mixed-use center).

(2) Includes CBL's two corporate office buildings.

(3) The Operating Partnership accounts for these investments using the equity method because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights.

At June 30, 2017, the Operating Partnership had interests in the following consolidated properties under development:

	Malls	Associated Centers
Expansions	2	—
Redevelopments	3	1

The Operating Partnership also holds options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.

CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At June 30, 2017, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 84.8% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 85.8%.

As used herein, the term "Company" includes CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The term "Operating Partnership" refers to CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries.

The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is held by CBL & Associates, Inc., its shareholders and affiliates and certain senior officers of the Company (collectively "CBL's Predecessor"), all of which contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partner interest when the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993, and by various third parties. At June 30, 2017, CBL’s Predecessor owned a 9.1% limited partner interest and third parties owned a 5.1% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership.  CBL's Predecessor also owned 3.8 million shares of CBL’s common stock at June 30, 2017, for a total combined effective interest of 11.0% in the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership conducts the Company’s property management and development activities through its wholly owned subsidiary, CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company”), to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”).

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, they have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results for the interim period ended June 30, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Guidance Adopted

In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 identifies areas for simplification of accounting for share-based payment transactions. ASU 2016-09 allows an entity to make an accounting policy election to either (1) recognize forfeitures as they occur or (2) continue to estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited. The Company elected to account for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur. As the amount of the retrospective adjustment was nominal, the Company elected not to record the change. See Note 13 for further information on the adoption of this guidance. The guidance also requires that when an employer withholds shares upon the vesting of restricted shares for the purpose of meeting tax withholding requirements, that the cash paid for withholding taxes is classified as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. The Company previously included these amounts within operating activities. For public companies, ASU 2016-09 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods within that reporting period and was to be applied on a modified retrospective basis as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of the date of adoption. The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 as of January 1, 2017 and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The change in the Company's condensed consolidated statements of cash flows related to the prior-year periods is as follows:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31,			June 30,			September 30,			December 31,
	2016
Net cash provided by operating activities (1)	$	85,777		$	128,384		$	125,464		$	128,954
Reclassification of cash payments for withheld shares	202			87			(69		)	60
Net cash provided by operating activities (2)	$	85,979		$	128,471		$	125,395		$	129,014
Net cash used in financing activities (1)	$	(95,505	)	$	(162,774	)	$	(89,447	)	$	(137,348	)
Reclassification of cash payments for withheld shares	(202		)	(87		)	69			(60		)
Net cash used in financing activities  (2)	$	(95,707	)	$	(162,861	)	$	(89,378	)	$	(137,408	)

(1) Prior to adoption of ASU 2016-09.

(2) Subsequent to adoption of ASU 2016-09.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-17, Interests Held Through Related Parties That Are under Common Control, ("ASU 2016-17") which amended the consolidation guidance in ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02"), to change how a reporting entity that is a single decision maker of a VIE should consider indirect interests in a VIE held through related parties that are under common control with the entity when determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of the VIE. ASU 2016-17 simplifies the analysis to require consideration of only an entity's proportionate indirect interest in a VIE held through a party under common control. For public companies, ASU 2016-17 was effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016 including interim periods therein. The guidance was applied retrospectively to all periods in fiscal year 2016, which is the period in which ASU 2015-02 was adopted by the Company. The Company adopted ASU 2016-17 as of January 1, 2017 and it did not have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

16

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Clarifying the Definition of a Business, ("ASU 2017-01"), which provides a more narrow definition of a business to be used in determining the accounting treatment of an acquisition. Under ASC 805, Business Combinations, the Company generally accounted for acquisitions of shopping center properties as acquisitions of a business. Under ASU 2017-01, more acquisitions are expected to be accounted for as acquisitions of assets. Transaction costs for asset acquisitions are capitalized while those related to business acquisitions are expensed. For public companies, ASU 2017-01 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein and is to be applied prospectively to any transactions occurring within the period of adoption. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted ASU 2017-01 as of January 1, 2017. The Company expects most of its future acquisitions of shopping center properties will be accounted for as acquisitions of assets in accordance with the guidance in ASU 2017-01.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-03, Amendments to SEC Paragraphs Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the September 22, 2016 and November 17, 2016 EITF Meetings, ("ASU 2017-03"), which provides guidance related to the disclosure of the potential impact that the adoption of ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"); ASU 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02") and ASU 2016-13, Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments ("ASU 2016-13") could have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements. ASU 2017-03 was effective upon issuance and the Company has incorporated this guidance within its current disclosures.

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective

Revenue Recognition guidance and implementation update

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued ASU 2014-09. The objective of this converged standard is to enable financial statement users to better understand and analyze revenue by replacing current transaction and industry-specific guidance with a more principles-based approach to revenue recognition. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other guidance such as lease and insurance contracts. In August 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-14, Deferral of the Effective Date, ("ASU 2015-14") which allows an additional one year deferral of ASU 2014-09. As a result, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years using one of two retrospective application methods. Early adoption would be permitted only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. As the majority of the Company's revenue is derived from real estate lease contracts, the Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements. The Company expects to adopt the guidance using the modified retrospective approach, which requires a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of the Company's adoption, which will be January 1, 2018.

The following updates, which are effective as of the same date as ASU 2014-09 as deferred by ASU 2015-14, were issued by the FASB to clarify the implementation of the revenue guidance:

Issuance Date	Accounting Standards Update
March 2016	ASU 2016-08, Principal versus Agent Considerations (Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net)
April 2016	ASU 2016-10, Identifying Performance Obligations and Licensing
May 2016	ASU 2016-11, Rescission of SEC Guidance Because of Accounting Standards Updates 2014-09 and 2014-16 Pursuant to Staff Announcements at the March 3, 2016 EITF Meeting
May 2016	ASU 2016-12,   Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients
December 2016	ASU 2016-20, Technical Corrections and Improvements to Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers

The Company's revenues largely consist of income earned from leasing, which approximated 95% of the Company's revenues over the three-year period ended December 31, 2016. Other revenue streams primarily include earnings from third-party management and joint venture contracts in addition to marketing income and financing fees. As part of the implementation process, the Company completed an initial review to ascertain which contracts are in the scope of the revenue guidance noted above. For those contracts in scope, these were evaluated using the prescribed five-step method which included the identification of the contract and performance obligations, determining the transaction price, allocating the transaction price to performance obligations and recognizing revenue. Based on its initial evaluation of contracts, the Company does not expect any material changes in the amount or timing of its revenues and expects to have the contract review, for contracts that are expected to have open performance obligations as of January 1, 2018, finalized in the next few months. Once the contract review is complete, the Company will provide an estimate of the expected modified retrospective adjustment that will be booked as well as additional disclosures.

Leasing guidance and implementation update

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02. The objective of ASU 2016-02 is to increase transparency and comparability by recognizing lease assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms greater than 12 months. The guidance applied by a lessor under ASU 2016-02 is substantially similar to existing GAAP. For public companies, ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. Lessees and lessors are required to use a modified retrospective transition method for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application. Accordingly, they would apply the new accounting model for the earliest year presented in the financial statements. A number of practical expedients may also be elected. The Company has done a preliminary assessment and continues to evaluate the potential impact the guidance may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures and will adopt ASU 2016-02 as of January 1, 2019.

As a lessor, the Company expects substantially all leases will continue to be classified as operating leases under the new leasing guidance. Under the new guidance, certain common area maintenance ("CAM") recoveries must be accounted for as non-lease components under the new revenue guidance. The FASB clarified in June 2017 that entities, which do not adopt ASU 2016-02 concurrently with the new revenue recognition guidance, will only be required to evaluate CAM as a non-lease component for new leases executed after the effective date, which would be January 1, 2019 for the Company. The Company is evaluating how the bifurcation of CAM may affect the timing or recognition of certain lease revenues. Additionally, the Company expects to expense certain deferred lease costs due to the narrowed definition of indirect costs that may be capitalized. As a lessee, the Company has 11 ground lease arrangements in which the Company is the lessee for land. As of June 30, 2017, these ground leases have future contractual payments of approximately $15,346 with maturity dates ranging from January 2019 through July 2089.

Other Guidance

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13. The objective of ASU 2016-13 is to provide financial statement users with information about expected credit losses on financial assets and other commitments to extend credit by a reporting entity. The guidance replaces the current incurred loss impairment model, which reflects credit events, with a current expected credit loss model, which recognizes an allowance for credit losses based on an entity's estimate of contractual cash flows not expected to be collected. For public companies that are SEC filers, ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a modified retrospective basis. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-13 as of January 1, 2020 and is evaluating the impact that this update may have on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments ("ASU 2016-15"). The objective of ASU 2016-15 is to reduce diversity in practice in the classification of certain items in the statement of cash flows, including the classification of distributions received from equity method investees. For public companies, ASU 2016-15 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The guidance is to be applied on a retrospective basis. The Company plans to adopt ASU 2016-15 as of January 1, 2018 and does not expect the guidance to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Restricted Cash, ("ASU 2016-18") to address diversity in practice related to the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash. The update requires a reporting entity to explain the change in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in reconciling the beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts on the statement of cash flows. For public companies, ASU 2016-18 is effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the update as of January 1, 2018 and does not expect ASU 2016-18 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets ("ASU 2017-05"), which will apply to the partial sale or transfer of nonfinancial assets, including real estate assets, to unconsolidated joint ventures. ASU 2017-05 requires 100% of the gain or loss to be recognized for nonfinancial assets transferred to an unconsolidated joint venture and any noncontrolling interest received in such nonfinancial assets to be measured at fair value. ASU 2017-05 has the same effective date as ASU 2014-09, as deferred by ASU 2015-14, and is effective for the Company on January 1, 2018.  ASU 2017-05 is to be applied using either a full or modified retrospective transition method. This adjustment will (1) mark investments in unconsolidated joint ventures to fair value as of the date of contribution to the unconsolidated joint ventures, and (2) recognize the remainder of the gain or loss associated with transferring the assets to the unconsolidated joint venture. The Company is in the process of determining which method to use for the application of this guidance and is identifying transactions related to the partial sale of real estate assets in prior periods that it expects the guidance in ASU 2017-05 will impact. The Company expects the application of this guidance will result in higher gains due to the requirement to recognize 100% of the gain on the sale of the partial interest and record the retained noncontrolling interest at fair value.

18

In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Scope of Modification Accounting ("ASU 2017-09") which provides guidance on the types of changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award to which an entity would be required to apply modification accounting under ASC 718, Compensation - Stock Compensation. ASU 2017-09 is effective for public companies on a prospective basis to awards modified on or after the adoption date for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. Early adoption is permitted. The Company plans to adopt the update as of January 1, 2018 and does not expect ASU 2017-09 to have a material impact on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure, ("ASC 820") based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable.  The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability.  Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.

The asset or liability's fair value within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date and under current market conditions. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and consider assumptions such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments.  Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value.  The estimated fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $4,488,714 and $4,737,077 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.  The fair value was calculated using Level 2 inputs by discounting future cash flows for mortgage and other indebtedness using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently. The carrying amount of net mortgage and other indebtedness was $4,249,440 and $4,465,294 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.    

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures the fair value of certain long-lived assets on a nonrecurring basis, through quarterly impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis of long-lived assets. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information for each property such as net operating income ("NOI"), occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the property and tenant mix. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets that experience impairment, the Company classifies such long-lived assets under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. Level 3 inputs primarily consist of sales and market data, independent valuations and discounted cash flow models as noted below.

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis and related impairment charges for the six months ended June 30, 2017:

			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Total		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)		Total Loss
Long-lived assets	$	67,300	$	—	$	—	$	67,300	$	46,466

Long-lived Assets Measured at Fair Value in 2017

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recognized impairments of real estate of $46,466 primarily related to a mall, a parcel project near an outlet center and one outparcel. The properties were classified for segment reporting purposes as listed below (see section below for information on outparcels). See Note 9 for segment information.

Impairment Date	Property	Location	Segment Classification	Loss on Impairment		Fair Value
March	Vacant land (1)	Woodstock, GA	Malls	$	3,147	$	—	(2)
June	Acadiana Mall (3)	Lafayette, LA	Malls	43,007		67,300
June	Adjustments related to prior period sales (4)	Various	Malls/Office Buildings	196		—		(2)
				$	46,350	$	67,300

(1) The Company wrote down the book value of its interest in a consolidated joint venture that owned land adjacent to one of its outlet malls upon the divestiture of its interests in March 2017 to a fair value of $1,000. In conjunction with the divestiture and assignment of the Company's interests in this consolidated joint venture, the Company was relieved of its debt obligation by the joint venture partner. See Note 6 for more information.

(2) The long-lived asset is not included in the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheets at June 30, 2017 as the Company no longer has an interest in the property.

(3) In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment review process, the Company wrote down the book value of the mall to its estimated fair value of $67,300 in the second quarter of 2017. Management determined the fair value of Acadiana Mall using a discounted cash flow methodology. The discounted cash flow used assumptions including a holding period of 10 years, with a sale at the end of the holding period, a capitalization rate of 15.50% and a discount rate of 15.75%. The mall has experienced declining tenant sales and cash flows as a result of the downturn of the economy in its market area and an anchor announced in the second quarter 2017 that it will close its store later in 2017. The revenues of Acadiana Mall accounted for approximately 1.9% of total consolidated revenues for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2017.

(4) Relates to true-ups of estimated expenses to actual expenses for properties sold in prior periods.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company recorded an impairment of $116 related to the sale of one outparcel. Outparcels are classified for segment reporting purposes in the All Other category. See Note 9 for segment information.

Note 4 – Acquisitions and Dispositions

Asset Acquisitions

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, the Company acquired several Sears and Macy's stores, which include land, buildings and improvements, for future redevelopment at the related malls. These transactions are accounted for as asset acquisitions in accordance with ASU 2017-01.

In January 2017, the Company purchased five Sears department stores and two Sears Auto Centers for $72,765 in cash, which includes $265 of capitalized transaction costs. Sears will continue to operate the department stores under new ten-year leases for which the Company will receive an aggregate initial annual base rent of $5,075. Annual base rent will be reduced by 0.25% for the third through tenth years of the leases. Sears will be responsible for paying CAM charges, taxes, insurance and utilities under the terms of the leases. The Company has the right to terminate each Sears lease at any time (except November 15 through January 15), with six month's advance notice. With six month's advance notice, Sears has the right to terminate one lease after a four-year period and may terminate the four other leases after a two-year period. The leases on the Sears Auto Centers may be terminated by Sears after one year, with six month's advance notice.

The Company also acquired four Macy's stores in January 2017 for $7,034 in cash, which includes $34 of capitalized transaction costs. Three of these locations closed in March 2017. The Company entered into a lease with Macy's at the fourth store under which Macy's will continue to operate the store through March 2019 for annual base rent and fixed common area maintenance charges of $19 per year, subject to certain operating covenants. If Macy's ceases to operate at this location, the Company will be reimbursed for the pro rata portion of the amount paid for the operating covenant based on the remaining lease term.     

20

The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of the respective acquisition dates:

	Sears Stores			Macy's Stores			Total
Land	$	45,028		$	4,635		$	49,663
Building and improvements	14,814			1,965			16,779
Tenant improvements	4,234			377			4,611
Above-market leases	681			—			681

Total assets	73,121			7,556			80,677
Below-market leases	(356		)	(522		)	(878		)
Net assets acquired	$	72,765		$	7,034		$	79,799

The intangible assets and liabilities acquired with the acquisition of the Sears and Macy's stores have weighted-average amortization periods as of the respective acquisition dates as follows (in years):

	Sears Stores	Macy's Stores
Above-market leases	2.0	—
In-place leases	2.2	2.2
Below-market leases	5.4	2.2

Dispositions

The Company evaluates its disposals utilizing the guidance in ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity. Based on its analysis, the Company determined that the dispositions described below do not meet the criteria for classification as discontinued operations and are not considered to be significant disposals based on its quantitative and qualitative evaluation. Thus, the results of operations of the shopping center properties described below, as well as any related gain or impairment loss, are included in net income for all periods presented, as applicable.

2017 Dispositions

Net proceeds realized from the 2017 dispositions were used to reduce the outstanding balances on the Company's credit facilities. The following is a summary of the Company's 2017 dispositions by sale:

				Sales Price
Sales Date	Property	Property Type	Location	Gross		Net		Gain
January	One Oyster Point & Two Oyster Point (1)	Office Building	Newport News, VA	$	6,250	$	6,142	$	—
April	The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City (2)	Mall	Oklahoma City, OK	130,000		55,368		75,434
May	College Square Mall & Foothills Mall	Mall	Morristown, TN / Maryville, TN	53,500		50,566		1,994
				$	189,750	$	112,076	$	77,428

(1) The Company recorded a loss on impairment of $3,844 in the third quarter of 2016 to write down the office buildings to their estimated fair value based upon a signed contract with the third party buyer, adjusted to reflect disposition costs.

(2) In conjunction with the sale of this 75/25 consolidated joint venture, three loans secured by the mall were retired. See Note 6 for more information. The Company's share of the gain from the sale was approximately $48,800. In accordance with the joint venture agreement, the joint venture partner received a priority return of $7,477 from the proceeds of the sale.

The Company also realized a gain of $8,093 primarily related to the sale of six outparcels during the six months ended June 30, 2017. The Company received a note receivable related to the sale of an outparcel in the second quarter of 2017. See Note 8 for more information.

21

The Company recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt for the properties listed below, which represented the amount by which the outstanding debt balance exceeded the net book value of the property as of the transfer date. See Note 6 for additional information. The following is a summary of the Company's other 2017 dispositions:

Transfer Date	Property	Property Type	Location	Balance of Non-recourse Debt		Gain on Extinguishment of Debt
January	Midland Mall (1)	Mall	Midland. MI	$	31,953	$	3,760
June	Chesterfield Mall (2)	Mall	Chesterfield, MO	140,000		29,215
				$	171,953	$	32,975

(1) The mortgage lender completed the foreclosure process and received title to the mall in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the property. A loss on impairment of real estate of $4,681 was recorded in the first quarter of 2016 to write down the book value of the mall to its then estimated fair value. The Company also recorded $479 of aggregate non-cash default interest expense.

(2) The mortgage lender completed the foreclosure process and received title to the mall in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the property. A loss on impairment of real estate of $99,969 was recorded in the fourth quarter of 2015 to write down the book value of the mall to its then estimated fair value. The Company also recorded $4,324 of aggregate non-cash default interest expense.

Variable Interest Entities

In accordance with the guidance in ASU 2015-02 and ASU 2016-17, as discussed in Note 2, the Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries are deemed to have the characteristics of a VIE primarily because the limited partners of these entities do not collectively possess substantive kick-out or participating rights. The Company adopted ASU 2015-02 as of January 1, 2016 and ASU 2016-17 was adopted as of January 1, 2017 on a modified retrospective basis. The adoption of ASU 2016-17 did not change any of the Company's consolidation conclusions made under ASU 2015-02 and did not change amounts within the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership, which is a VIE, for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited partnership is considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to remove the general partner without cause, nor certain rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the partnership. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of the Company's investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to the Company's business activities and the business activities of the other investors.

Additionally, any default in the payment of any recourse indebtedness greater than or equal to $50,000 or any non-recourse indebtedness greater than $150,000 (for the Company's ownership share) of CBL, the Operating Partnership or any Subsidiary, as defined, will constitute an event of default under the agreements to the credit facilities. The credit facilities also restrict the Company's ability to enter into any transaction that could result in certain changes in its ownership or structure as described under the heading “Change of Control/Change in Management” in the agreements for the credit facilities.

See Note 16 for information on the modification of the debt covenant related to the two $500,000 unsecured lines of credit and unsecured term loans subsequent to June 30, 2017.

The Company’s mortgage and other indebtedness had a weighted-average maturity of 4.2 years as of June 30, 2017 and 4.4 years as of December 31, 2016.

Interest Rate Hedging Instruments

The Company recorded derivative instruments in its consolidated balance sheets at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the derivative has been designated as a hedge and, if so, whether the hedge has met the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives were to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.  To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily used interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involved 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.  

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives that was designated as, and that qualified as, cash flow hedges was recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) ("AOCI/L") and then subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affected earnings.  Such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.

The Company's interest rate derivatives, that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, matured on April 1, 2016.  The following tables provide further information relating to the Company’s interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk in 2016:

Note 10 – Equity and Capital

At-The-Market Equity Program

On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into separate controlled equity offering sales agreements (collectively, the "Sales Agreements") with a number of sales agents to sell shares of CBL's common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $300,000, from time to time in "at-the-market" equity offerings (as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or in negotiated transactions (the "ATM program"). In accordance with the Sales Agreements, the Company sets the parameters for the sales of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are to be made and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Sales Agreements provide that the sales agents are entitled to compensation for their services at a mutually agreed commission rate not to exceed 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through the ATM program. For each share of common stock issued by CBL, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding number of common units of limited partnership interest to CBL in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. The Company includes only share issuances that have settled in the calculation of shares outstanding at the end of each period.

The Company has not sold any shares under the ATM program since 2013. Since the commencement of the ATM program, CBL has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average sales price of $25.12 per share, and approximately $88,507 remains available that may be sold under this program as of June 30, 2017. Actual future sales under this program, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of CBL's common stock and the Company's capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program.

Note 11 – Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit

Earnings per Share of the Company

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive.

There were no potential dilutive common shares and there were no anti-dilutive shares for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common unitholders by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPU assumes the issuance of common units for all potential dilutive common units outstanding.

There were no potential dilutive common units and there were no anti-dilutive units for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016.

Note 12 – Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is currently involved in certain litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company.    

Environmental Contingencies

The Company evaluates potential loss contingencies related to environmental matters using the same criteria described above related to litigation matters. Based on current information, an unfavorable outcome concerning such environmental matters, both individually and in the aggregate, is considered to be reasonably possible. However, the Company believes its maximum potential exposure to loss would not be material to its results of operations or financial condition. The Company has a master

35

insurance policy that provides coverage through 2022 for certain environmental claims up to $10,000 per occurrence and up to $50,000 in the aggregate, subject to deductibles and certain exclusions. At certain locations, individual policies are in place.

Guarantees

The Operating Partnership may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on the Operating Partnership’s investment in the joint venture. The Operating Partnership may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when the Operating Partnership issues a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that the Operating Partnership may receive indemnification from the joint venture partner or have the ability to increase its ownership interest. The guarantees expire upon repayment of the debt, unless noted otherwise.

The following table represents the Operating Partnership's guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016:

	As of June 30, 2017									Obligation recorded to reflect guaranty
Unconsolidated Affiliate	Company's Ownership Interest	Outstanding Balance		Percentage Guaranteed by the Operating Partnership		Maximum Guaranteed Amount		Debt Maturity Date (1)		6/30/2017		12/31/2016
West Melbourne I, LLC - Phase I (2)	50%	$	42,547	20%		$	8,509	Feb-2018	(3)	$	86	$	86
West Melbourne I, LLC - Phase II (2)	50%	16,437		20%		3,287		Feb-2018	(3)	33		33
Port Orange I, LLC	50%	57,508		20%		11,502		Feb-2018	(3)	116		116
Ambassador Infrastructure, LLC	65%	11,035		100%	(4)	11,035		Dec-2017	(5)	177		177
				Total guaranty liability						$	412	$	412

(1) Excludes any extension options.

(2) The loan is secured by Hammock Landing - Phase I and Hammock Landing - Phase II, respectively.

(3) The loan has a one-year extension option, which is at the unconsolidated affiliate's election, for an outside maturity date of February 2019.

(4) The guaranty will be reduced to 50% on March 1 of such year as payment-in-lieu of taxes ("PILOT") payments received and attributed to the prior calendar year by Ambassador Infrastructure and delivered to the lender are $1,200 or more, provided no event of default exists. The guaranty will be reduced to 20% when the PILOT payments are $1,400 or more, provided no event of default exists.

(5) The loan has two one-year extension options, which are at the unconsolidated affiliate's election, for an outside maturity date of December 2019.

The Company has guaranteed the lease performance of York Town Center, LP ("YTC"), an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. The Company has guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22,000, which decreases by $800 annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10,000. The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020.  The maximum guaranteed obligation was $14,000 as of June 30, 2017.  The Company entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse the Company 50% of any amounts it is obligated to fund under the guaranty.  The Company did not include an obligation for this guaranty because it determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Performance Bonds

The Company has issued various bonds that it would have to satisfy in the event of non-performance. The total amount outstanding on these bonds was $17,141 and $21,446 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. 

Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation

As of June 30, 2017, there was one share-based compensation plan under which the Company has outstanding awards, the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan ("the 2012 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2012. The 2012 Plan permits the Company to issue stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company up to a total of 10,400,000 shares. As the primary operating subsidiary

36

of the Company, the Operating Partnership participates in and bears the compensation expense associated with the Company's share-based compensation plans.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-09 effective January 1, 2017 as described in Note 2. In accordance with the provisions of ASU 2016-09, which are designed to simplify the accounting for share-based payments transactions, the Company elected to account for forfeitures of share-based payments as they occur rather than continuing to estimate them in advance. The Company elected not to record a cumulative effect adjustment as the impact of estimated forfeitures on the Company's cumulative share-based compensation expense recorded through December 31, 2016 was nominal.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company may make restricted stock awards to independent directors, officers and its employees under the 2012 Plan. These awards are generally granted based on the performance of the Company and its employees. None of these awards have performance requirements other than a service condition of continued employment, unless otherwise provided. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards was $933 and $707 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $2,363 and $1,948 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $85 and $77 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $214 and $191 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s nonvested restricted stock awards as of June 30, 2017, and changes during the six months ended June 30, 2017, is presented below: 

	Shares		Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2017	602,162		$	15.41
Granted	326,424		$	10.75
Vested	(245,409	)	$	14.79
Forfeited	(6,440	)	$	13.20
Nonvested at June 30, 2017	676,737		$	13.41

As of June 30, 2017, there was $7,652 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to nonvested stock awards granted under the plans, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.9 years.

Long-Term Incentive Program

In 2015, the Company adopted a long-term incentive program ("LTIP") for its named executive officers, which consists of performance stock unit ("PSU") awards and annual restricted stock awards, that may be issued under the 2012 Plan. The number of shares related to the PSU awards that each named executive officer may receive upon the conclusion of a three-year performance period is determined based on the Company's achievement of specified levels of long-term total stockholder return ("TSR") performance relative to the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") Retail Index, provided that at least a "Threshold" level must be attained for any shares to be earned.

Annual Restricted Stock Awards

Under the LTIP, annual restricted stock awards consist of shares of time-vested restricted stock awarded based on a qualitative evaluation of the performance of the Company and the named executive officer during the fiscal year. Annual restricted stock awards under the LTIP vest 20% on the date of grant with the remainder vesting in four equal annual installments.

Performance Stock Units

The Company granted the following PSUs in the first quarter of the respective years as follows:

	PSUs granted	Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value
2015 PSUs	138,680	$	15.52
2016 PSUs	282,995	$	4.98
2017 PSUs	277,376	$	6.86

Shares earned pursuant to the PSU awards vest 60% at the conclusion of the performance period while the remaining 40% of the PSU award vests 20% on each of the first two anniversaries thereafter.

37

Compensation cost is recognized on a tranche-by-tranche basis using the accelerated attribution method. The resulting expense is recorded regardless of whether any PSU awards are earned as long as the required service period is met. Share-based compensation expense related to the PSUs was $385 and $258 for the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Share-based compensation expense related to the PSUs was $729 and $516 for the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 respectively. Unrecognized compensation costs related to the PSUs was $2,934 as of June 30, 2017.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation pricing model related to the 2017 PSUs and the 2016 PSUs:

	2017 PSUs			2016 PSUs
Grant date	February 7, 2017			February 10, 2016
Fair value per share on valuation date (1)	$	6.86		$	4.98
Risk-free interest rate (2)	1.53		%	0.92		%
Expected share price volatility (3)	32.85		%	30.95		%

(1) The value of the PSU awards is estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The valuation consisted of computing the fair value using CBL's simulated stock price as well as TSR over a three-year performance period. The award is modeled as a contingent claim in that the expected return on the underlying shares is risk-free and the rate of discounting the payoff of the award is also risk-free. The weighted-average fair value per share related to the 2017 PSUs consists of 115,082 shares at a fair value of $5.62 per share and 162,294 shares at a fair value of $7.74 per share.

(2) The risk-free interest rate was based on the yield curve on zero-coupon U.S. Treasury securities in effect as of the valuation date.

(3) The computation of expected volatility was based on a blend of the historical volatility of CBL's shares of common stock based on annualized daily total continuous returns over a three-year period and implied volatility data based on the trailing month average of daily implied volatilities implied by stock call option contracts that were both closest to the terms shown and closest to the money.

Note 15 – Income Taxes

The Company is qualified as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other requirements.

As a REIT, the Company is generally not liable for federal corporate income taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates and it may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent years. Even if the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and

38

excise taxes on its undistributed income. State tax expense was $957 and $997 during the three months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively, and $1,829 and $2,025 during the six months ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

The Company has also elected taxable REIT subsidiary status for some of its subsidiaries.  This enables the Company to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for REITs. For these entities, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the Company believes all or some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance resulting from changes in circumstances that may affect the realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in income or expense, as applicable.

The Company recorded an income tax benefit as follows for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016:

	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016			2017			2016
Current tax benefit (provision)	$	5,062		$	(368	)	$	7,470		$	268
Deferred tax benefit (provision)	(2,142		)	419			(3,750		)	320
Income tax benefit	$	2,920		$	51		$	3,720		$	588

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $8,889 and $5,841 at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The net deferred tax asset is included in intangible lease assets and other assets. These balances primarily consisted of operating expense accruals and differences between book and tax depreciation.  

The Company reports any income tax penalties attributable to its properties as property operating expenses and any corporate-related income tax penalties as general and administrative expenses in its condensed consolidated statements of operations.  In addition, any interest incurred on tax assessments is reported as interest expense.  The Company reported nominal interest and penalty amounts for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

Note 16 – Subsequent Events

In July 2017, JG Gulf Coast Town Center, a 50/50 unconsolidated joint venture, retired a loan secured by phase three of Gulf Coast Town Center, which had a balance of $4,118 and was scheduled to mature in July 2017.

In July 2017, the Company exercised its option to extend the maturity date of its $350,000 unsecured term loan to October 2018.

In July 2017, the Company closed on the modification and extension of its $400,000 unsecured term loan, with an increase in the principal balance to $490,000. The variable interest rate spread remains unchanged. In July 2018, the principal balance will be reduced to $300,000. Additionally, the debt covenant related to the maximum ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value was modified to reduce the ratio from 62.5% to 60.0%. The definition of unencumbered asset value was also modified with respect to the assets that are included in the unencumbered asset pool. The loan will mature in July 2020 and has two one-year extension options, the second of which is at the lenders' discretion, for a July 2022 extended maturity date.

For consistency, the changes to the debt covenant noted above were also made to the Company's two unsecured credit facilities that each have a total capacity of $500,000 and to the Company's $350,000 unsecured term loan in July 2017. The ratio of unsecured indebtedness to unencumbered asset value may vary over time and could potentially limit the Company's ability to access the full capacity of its unsecured credit facilities. As of June 30, 2017, the Company's ability to utilize its total borrowing capacity would have been limited by $196,888 under the modified covenant compared to $33,539, under the existing covenant. The effect of this change to the debt covenant does not impact the Company's past compliance with this ratio.

In July 2017, the Company modified its $50,000 unsecured term loan to reduce the principal balance to $45,000 and change the interest rate to a variable rate of LIBOR plus 165 basis points. The loan will mature in June 2021 and has a one-year extension option, at the Company's election, for a June 2022 extended maturity date.

In August 2017, River Ridge Mall JV, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a binding contract to sell its 25% interest in River Ridge Mall, located in Lynchburg, VA, to its joint venture partner for $9,000 in cash. The Company recorded a $5,843 loss on investment related to the pending disposition. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated REIT that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers and office properties. Our properties are located in 26 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.  We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

We conduct substantially all of our business through the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE.

As of June 30, 2017, we owned interests in the following properties:

	Malls (1)	Associated Centers	Community Centers	Office Buildings		Total
Consolidated properties	61	20	4	5	(2)	90
Unconsolidated properties (3)	9	3	5	—		17
Total	70	23	9	5		107

(1) Category consists of regional malls, open-air centers and outlet centers (including one mixed-use center).

(2) Includes our two corporate office buildings.

(3) We account for these investments using the equity method because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights.

At June 30, 2017, we had interests in the following consolidated properties under development:

	Malls	Associated Centers
Expansions	2	—
Redevelopments	3	1

We also hold options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.

Net income for the three months ended June 30, 2017 was $70.6 million compared to $73.1 million in the prior-year period, representing a decrease of 3.4% for the quarter. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was $109.1 million compared to $115.0 million in the prior-year period, representing a decrease of 5.1% for the year-to-date period. We recorded net income attributable to common shareholders of $30.2 million and $53.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to $51.7 million and $80.5 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. Net income for the quarter and year-to-date period, as compared to the prior-year period, was down primarily due to gains recognized in equity in earnings from the sale of several unconsolidated affiliates in 2016. Revenues were also down for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 as consumer spending lagged and the challenging retail environment continued. Net income and revenues were also impacted by the dilution from asset sales. Same-center NOI (see below) decreased 1.3% for the quarter and 1.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2017, primarily due to revenue declines driven by lower occupancy and tenant sales, which were partially offset by lower real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs expense.

Earnings per share attributable to common shareholders were $0.18 and $0.31 per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $0.30 and $0.47 per share for the same periods in 2016. FFO per diluted share (see below) decreased to $0.58 and $1.12 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively, as compared to $0.73 and $1.41 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016. FFO was negatively impacted by dilution from asset sales completed in the prior year and current year-to-date periods, abandoned projects expense and the revenue declines noted above, although an increase in average annual base rents and operating cost efficiencies helped partially offset some of these unfavorable variances.

Second quarter results were in-line with expectations given the adverse retail climate. We continue to focus on leasing efforts to deliver replacement income for vacated spaces from tenant store closings as well as diversify our tenant mix. The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo opened in April 2017. We also are progressing in our plans for anchor redevelopments related to the Sears and Macy's stores that were acquired earlier in the year. For leases signed in the second quarter of 2017, leasing spreads for comparable space under 10,000 square feet declined approximately 0.9% on average for our stabilized malls, which included an increase of 8.1% in new lease spreads and a decrease of 3.5% in renewal lease spreads. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2017, stabilized mall same-center sales decreased 2.4% to $373 per square foot as compared to $382 per square foot in the prior-year period. Occupancy for our total portfolio declined 100 basis points to 91.6% as of June 30, 2017 as compared to 92.6% in the prior-year period while occupancy for our same-center malls declined by 140 basis points to 90.6% as of June 30, 2017 as compared to 92.0% for the prior-year period. Average annual base rents per square foot for our same-center stabilized malls increased to $33.00 compared to $32.41 in the prior-year period.

41

We sold two malls and one outlet center during the quarter for an aggregate gross sales price of $183.5 million and recorded a gain on sales of real estate assets of $77.4 million. We also recognized a $29.2 million gain on extinguishment of debt upon the foreclosure of Chesterfield Mall in June 2017 in settlement of the non-recourse debt that it secured. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, we modified and extended two unsecured term loans and reached a preliminary agreement to modify and extend the loan secured by Acadiana Mall. We also exercised an option to extend our $350.0 million unsecured term loan to October 2018. We continue to focus on strengthening our balance sheet to take advantage of opportunities for future growth as well as reinvest in our current portfolio.

Same-center NOI and FFO are non-GAAP measures. For a description of same-center NOI, a reconciliation from net income to same-center NOI, and an explanation of why we believe this is a useful performance measure, see Non-GAAP Measure - Same-center Net Operating Income in “Results of Operations.” For a description of FFO, a reconciliation from net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders, and an explanation of why we believe this is a useful performance measure, see "Non-GAAP Measure - Funds from Operations."

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Properties that were in operation for the entire year during 2016 and the six months ended June 30, 2017 are referred to as the “Comparable Properties.”  Since January 1, 2016, we have opened one community center development and one outlet center development as follows: 

Property	Location	Date Opened
New Developments:
Ambassador Town Center (1)	Lafayette, LA	April 2016
The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo (2)	Laredo, TX	April 2017

(1) Ambassador Town Center is a 65/35 joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is included in equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.

(2) The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo is a 65/35 joint venture, which is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations on a consolidated basis.

Of these properties, The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo is included in our operations on a consolidated basis and is referred to as the "New Property". The transactions related to the New Property impact the comparison of results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 to the results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2017 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2016

Revenues

Total revenues decreased $25.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period.  Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements declined by $19.5 million due to decreases of $13.3 million related to dispositions and $8.4 million attributable to the Comparable Properties, which was partially offset by an increase of $2.2 million attributable to the New Property. The $8.4 million decrease in revenues at the Comparable Properties was primarily due to a decrease of $7.4 million at our core properties and a $1.0 million decrease related to non-core properties and those in redevelopment. The decline in revenues at our core properties continues due to the challenging retail environment, including retailer bankruptcies, which manifested in a decrease in percentage rents due to lower retail sales, as well as lower tenant reimbursements and specialty leasing and branding income in addition to straight-line rent write-offs.

Our cost recovery ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2017 was 103.0% compared with 106.7% for the prior-year period.

The decrease of $1.5 million in management, development and leasing fees was primarily attributable to decreases in management fees as a result of the sale of three malls owned by third parties, which the Company had been managing, and two leasing agreements, which ended subsequent to June 30, 2016. Additionally, we received $0.7 million in the prior-year period from financing fees related to the loans secured by Ambassador Town Center and Fremaux Town Center, which closed in June 2016.

Other revenues decreased $4.7 million primarily due to the divestiture, in the fourth quarter of 2016, of our joint venture interest in the consolidated subsidiary that provided security and maintenance services to third parties.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $4.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period primarily due to a $10.3 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense, which was partially offset by a decrease of $5.2 million in property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs. The $5.2 million decrease was attributable to decreases of $6.2 million from dispositions, and $0.1 million related to the Comparable Properties, which was partially offset by an increase of $1.1 million related to the New Property.

42

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $10.3 million primarily resulted from increases of $14.3 million attributable to the Comparable Properties and $1.1 million related to the New Property, which were partially offset by a decrease of $5.1 million related to dispositions. The $14.3 million increase related to the Comparable Properties includes increases of $13.9 million attributable to our core properties and $0.4 million related to non-core properties. The $13.9 million increase includes $5.4 million of tenant improvement write-offs and $5.0 million of depreciation and amortization expense related to the acquired Sears and Macy's buildings. The remaining increase is primarily due to amortization of tenant improvements at several outlet centers.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million primarily due to a decrease in consulting and legal fees and an increase in capitalized overhead related to development projects. These decreases were partially offset by increases in information technology expenses and in payroll and related expenses.

In the second quarter of 2017, we recognized impairment of real estate of $43.2 million which was primarily to write down the book value of a mall. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. In the second quarter of 2016, we recognized an impairment of real estate of $43.5 million to write down the book value of three malls and two outparcels.

Other expenses decreased less than $0.1 million due to a $5.0 million decrease from the divestiture of our interest, in the fourth quarter of 2016, in our consolidated subsidiary that provided security and maintenance services to third parties, which was partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in abandoned projects expense.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and other income decreased $0.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period.

Interest expense increased $1.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period. The $1.9 million increase consists of increases of $6.3 million from the issuance of the 2026 Notes in the fourth quarter of 2016 and $0.6 million related to the New Property, which were partially offset by a $4.9 million decrease in interest expense related to property-level debt that was retired and a decrease of $0.4 million related to dispositions.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a $20.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt which primarily consisted of a $29.2 million gain, related to the conveyance of a mall to the lender in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the property, which was partially offset by an $8.5 million loss related to prepayment fees for the early retirement of debt. See Note 4 and Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

During the three months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a $5.8 million loss on investment related to the impending disposition of our 25% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017. See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $58.0 million during the second quarter of 2017 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease is due to a $29.4 million gain related to the sale of an unconsolidated affiliate in the second quarter of 2016 as well as a gain of $29.2 million recognized in the second quarter of 2016 related to the foreclosure of Gulf Coast Town Center (owned in a 50/50 joint venture).

The income tax benefit of $2.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 relates to the Management Company, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and consists of a current tax benefit of less than $5.1 million and a deferred tax provision of $2.1 million.  During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.1 million, consisting of a current tax provision of less than $0.4 million and a deferred tax benefit of $0.4 million.

In the second quarter of 2017, we recognized a $79.5 million gain on sales of real estate assets, primarily related to the sale of two malls, an outlet center and one outparcel. We recognized a $9.6 million gain on sales of real estate assets in the second quarter of 2016, which consisted primarily of $7.3 million related to the sale of a community center, an associated center and two outparcels and $2.2 million related to a parking deck project.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2017 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2016

Revenues

Total revenues decreased $50.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period.  Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements declined by $40.2 million due to decreases of $28.7 million related to dispositions and $13.8 million attributable to the Comparable Properties, which were partially offset by an increase of $2.3 million attributable to the New Property. The $13.8 million decrease in revenues at the Comparable Properties was primarily due to a decrease of $12.1 million at our core properties and a $1.7 million decrease related to non-core properties and those in redevelopment. Revenues were down throughout the portfolio due to lower sales and retailer bankruptcies, which drove decreases in rental revenues and tenant reimbursements.

Our cost recovery ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2017 was 99.0% compared with 101.1% for the prior-year period.

The decrease of $0.6 million in management, development and leasing fees was primarily attributable to $0.7 million received in the prior-year period from financing fees related to the loans secured by Ambassador Town Center and Fremaux Town Center, which closed in June 2016.

Other revenues decreased $10.0 million primarily due to the divestiture, in the fourth quarter of 2016, of our joint venture interest in the consolidated subsidiary that provided security and maintenance services to third parties.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased $34.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to a decrease of $72.9 million from dispositions, which was partially offset by increases of $36.4 million and $2.2 million attributable to the Comparable Properties and New Property, respectively. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, decreased $11.1 million primarily due to a $13.5 million decrease attributable to dispositions, which was partially offset by increases of $1.3 million related to the Comparable Properties and $1.1 million attributable to the New Property. The $1.3 million increase at the Comparable Properties was primarily driven by increases in bad debt expense and maintenance costs, which were partially offset by a decrease in real estate taxes.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $5.0 million primarily resulted from increases of $14.4 million attributable to the Comparable Properties and $1.1 million from the New Property, which were partially offset by a decrease of $10.5 million related to dispositions. The $14.4 million increase related to the Comparable Properties includes increases of $14.2 million attributable to our core properties and $0.2 million related to non-core properties. The $14.2 million increase includes $6.8 million of tenant improvement write-offs and $5.7 million of depreciation and amortization expense related to the acquired Sears and Macy's buildings. The remaining increase is primarily due to amortization of tenant improvements at several outlet centers.

General and administrative expenses decreased $1.8 million primarily due to a decrease in consulting and legal fees and an increase in capitalized overhead related to development projects. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in payroll and related expenses.

In the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized impairment of real estate of $46.5 million primarily to write down the book value of one mall, a parcel project near an outlet center and one outparcel. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. In the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recognized an impairment of real estate of $63.2 million to write down the book value of six malls, an associated center and three outparcels.

Other expenses decreased $9.7 million due to a $14.7 million decrease from the divestiture of our interest, in the fourth quarter of 2016, in our consolidated subsidiary that provided security and maintenance services to third parties, which was partially offset by a $5.0 million increase in abandoned projects expense.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and other income increased $0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period primarily due to $0.9 million received in the current year as an insurance reimbursement for nonrecurring professional fees expense (which represent one-time expenses that are not part of our normal operations) related to the SEC investigation that occurred in 2016.

Interest expense increased $2.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period. The $2.8 million increase consists of increases of $12.4 million from the issuance of the 2026 Notes in the fourth quarter of 2016 and $0.7 million related to the New Property, which were partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million related to dispositions and $8.7 million related to property-level debt that was retired.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a $24.5 million gain on extinguishment of debt which primarily consisted of a $33.0 million gain related to the conveyance of two malls to the respective lenders in satisfaction of the non-recourse

44

debt secured by the properties. This was partially offset by an $8.5 million loss related to prepayment fees for the early retirement of debt. See Note 4 and Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized a $5.8 million loss on investment related to the impending disposition of our 25% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture, which is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017. See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased by $85.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2017 compared to the prior-year period. The decrease is primarily due to a gain of $29.2 related to the foreclosure of Gulf Coast Town Center (owned in a 50/50 joint venture) million and $55.8 million from the sale of two unconsolidated affiliates in 2016.

The income tax benefit of $3.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 relates to the Management Company, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and consists of a current tax benefit of less than $7.5 million and a deferred tax provision of $3.7 million.  During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we recorded an income tax benefit of $0.6 million, consisting of a current and deferred tax benefit of $0.3 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized an $85.5 million gain on sales of real estate assets, primarily related to the sale of two malls, an outlet center and six outparcels. We recognized a $9.6 million gain on sales of real estate assets during the six months ended June 30, 2016, which consisted primarily of $7.3 million related to the sale of a community center, an associated center and two outparcels and $2.2 million related to a parking deck project.

Non-GAAP Measure

Same-center Net Operating Income

NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of our shopping centers and other properties. We define NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).

We compute NOI based on the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. We believe that presenting NOI and same-center NOI (described below) based on our Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties is useful since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. Our definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies, and accordingly, our calculation of NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of our shopping center properties, we believe that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, sales at the malls and operating costs and the impact of those trends on our results of operations. Our calculation of same-center NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, and amortization of above and below market lease intangibles in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another.

We include a property in our same-center pool when we have owned all or a portion of the property since January 1 of the preceding calendar year and it has been in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year and current year-to-date period. New Properties are excluded from same-center NOI, until they meet this criteria. Properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet this criteria are properties which are being repositioned or properties where we are considering alternatives for repositioning, where we intend to renegotiate the terms of the debt secured by the related property or return the property to the lender and those in which we own a noncontrolling interest of 25% or less. Wausau Center was classified as a Lender Mall as of June 30, 2017. Properties that we are currently repositioning are Cary Towne Center and Hickory Point Mall at June 30, 2017. Properties in which we own a noncontrolling interest at June 30, 2017 include Triangle Town Center and River Ridge Mall.

45

Due to the exclusions noted above, same-center NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of our performance and not as an alternative to GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss). A reconciliation of our same-center NOI to net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 and 2016 is as follows (in thousands):

(1) Adjustments are based on our Operating Partnership's pro rata ownership share, including our share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling interests' share of consolidated properties.

Same-center NOI decreased 1.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior-year period. The $2.3 million decrease for the three month period ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same period in 2016 consisted of a $4.3 million decrease in revenues, which was partially offset by a decrease of $2.0 million in operating expenses. Our operating expenses declined by $2.0 million on a same-center basis primarily due to a decrease of $1.0 million in maintenance and repairs expense and $1.0 million in lower real estate taxes due to lower tax assessments.

The 1.0% decrease in same-center NOI for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior-year period includes a $6.4 million decrease in revenues, primarily due to an $8.1 million decrease in revenues from percentage rents, other rents and tenant reimbursements, which was partially offset by a $1.7 million increase in minimum rents and other income. We also benefited from a $2.8 million decrease in operating expenses primarily due to a $2.7 million decrease in maintenance and repairs expense.

The decline in revenues for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017 was driven by decreases of 1.5% in occupancy in our same-center mall portfolio and 2.4% in stabilized mall same-center sales per square foot for the rolling 12-month period ended June 30, 2017. These decreases were partially offset by an increase of 1.8% in average annual base rents for our same-center stabilized malls as of June 30, 2017 as compared to the prior-year period.

Operational Review

The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with tenants typically achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter due to the holiday season, which generally results in higher percentage rents in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the malls earn most of their rents from short-term tenants during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of the fiscal year.

We classify our regional malls into three categories:

(1) Stabilized Malls – Malls that have completed their initial lease-up and have been open for more than three complete calendar years.

46

(2) Non-stabilized Malls - Malls that are in their initial lease-up phase. After three complete calendar years of operation, they are reclassified on January 1 of the fourth calendar year to the stabilized mall category. The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo and The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass were classified as non-stabilized malls as of June 30, 2017. The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass and The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta were classified as non-stabilized malls as of June 30, 2016.

(3) Excluded Malls - We exclude malls from our core portfolio if they fall in the following categories, for which operational metrics are excluded:

a. Lender Malls - Malls for which we are working or intend to work with the lender on a restructure of the terms of the loan secured by the property or convey the secured property to the lender. As of June 30, 2017, Wausau Center was classified as a Lender Mall. As of June 30, 2016, Chesterfield Mall, Midland Mall and Wausau Center were classified as Lender Malls. The foreclosures of Midland Mall and Chesterfield Mall were complete in the first quarter and second quarter of 2017, respectively. Lender Malls are excluded from our same-center pool as decisions made while in discussions with the lender may lead to metrics that do not provide relevant information related to the condition of these properties or they may be under cash management agreements with the respective servicers.

b. Repositioning Malls - Malls that are currently being repositioned or where we have determined that the current format of the mall no longer represents the best use of the mall and we are in the process of evaluating alternative strategies for the mall. This may include major redevelopment or an alternative retail or non-retail format, or after evaluating alternative strategies for the mall, we may determine that the mall no longer meets our criteria for long-term investment. The steps taken to reposition these malls, such as signing tenants to short-term leases, which are not included in occupancy percentages, or leasing to regional or local tenants, which typically do not report sales, may lead to metrics which do not provide relevant information related to the condition of these malls. Therefore, traditional performance measures, such as occupancy percentages and leasing metrics, exclude Repositioning Malls. Cary Towne Center and Hickory Point Mall were classified as Repositioning Malls as of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016.

c. Minority Interest Malls - Malls in which we have a 25% or less ownership interest. As of June 30, 2017 and June 30, 2016, Triangle Town Center and River Ridge Mall were classified as Minority Interest Malls. Triangle Town Place was also classified as a Minority Interest property as of June 30, 2016 until its sale in the fourth quarter of 2016.

We derive the majority of our revenues from the mall properties. The sources of our revenues by property type were as follows: 

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017	2016
Malls	93.3%	91.3%
Associated centers	4.2%	3.9%
Community centers	1.9%	1.7%
Mortgages, office buildings and other	0.6%	3.1%

Mall Store Sales

Mall store sales include reporting mall tenants of 10,000 square feet or less for stabilized malls and exclude license agreements, which are retail contracts that are temporary or short-term in nature and generally last more than three months but less than twelve months. The following is a comparison of our same-center sales per square foot for mall tenants of 10,000 square feet or less:

	Twelve Months Ended June 30,
	2017	2016	% Change
Stabilized mall same-center sales per square foot	$373	$382	(2.4)%

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES    

As of June 30, 2017, we had approximately $181.1 million outstanding on our three unsecured credit facilities leaving approximately $885.4 million of availability. In the second quarter of 2017, we retired three loans with an aggregate principal balance of $61.6 million in conjunction with the sale of The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City for $130.0 million. Our consolidated unencumbered properties generated approximately 52.3% of total consolidated NOI for the six months ended June 30, 2017 (excluding dispositions and Excluded Malls). We have one mall in the foreclosure process, which we anticipate will be completed during the third quarter of 2017. We recognized a $29.2 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to the foreclosure of Chesterfield Mall in June 2017. In May 2017, we also closed on the sale of two Tier 3 malls, College Square and Foothills Mall, which generated gross proceeds of $53.5 million.

Subsequent to June 30, 2017, we extended and modified two unsecured term loans. We also modified our two unsecured credit facilities, that each have a capacity of $500.0 million, and our $350.0 million unsecured term loan to modify a debt covenant for consistency with the modification of our $400.0 million unsecured term loan. See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for details. We also retired the $4.1 million unconsolidated loan secured by the third phase of Gulf Coast Town Center, entered into a preliminary agreement with the lender to modify and extend the loan secured by Acadiana Mall in July 2017 and exercised an option to extend our $350.0 million term loan to October 2018. In August 2017, we entered into a binding contract to sell our remaining 25% interest in River Ridge Mall to our joint venture partner for $9.0 million in cash. A $5.8 million loss on

49

investment was recorded in the second quarter of 2017 in conjunction with the impending sale, which is expected to close in the third quarter.

We derive a majority of our revenues from leases with retail tenants, which have historically been the primary source for funding short-term liquidity and capital needs such as operating expenses, debt service, tenant construction allowances, recurring capital expenditures, dividends and distributions. We believe that the combination of cash flows generated from our operations, combined with our debt and equity sources and the availability under our credit facilities and proceeds from dispositions will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to meet our cash needs.  In addition to these factors, we have options available to us to generate additional liquidity, including but not limited to, debt and equity offerings, joint venture investments, issuances of noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership, and decreasing expenditures related to tenant construction allowances and other capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from sales of peripheral land at our properties and from sales of real estate assets when it is determined that we can realize an optimal value for the assets.

Cash Flows - Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

The Company had $29.6 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2017, an increase of $10.7 million from December 31, 2016. Our net cash flows are summarized as follows (in thousands):

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017			2016			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	205,327		$	214,161		$	(8,834	)
Net cash provided by investing activities	11,690			28,365			(16,675		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(206,346		)	(258,279		)	51,933
Net cash flows	$	10,671		$	(15,753	)	$	26,424

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities decreased $8.8 million primarily due to the impact of lower occupancy on revenues, partially offset by reductions in operating expenses, and the operating cash flows of the properties that were disposed of in 2016.

Cash Provided by Investing Activities

Cash flows provided by investing activities decreased $16.7 million as compared to the prior-year period. The cash flows provided by investing activities in 2016 related primarily to proceeds from the sales of real estate assets and distributions in excess of equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates, primarily due to proceeds from the sales of several consolidated and unconsolidated properties. While proceeds from sales of real estate assets were higher in 2017, these were partially offset by the cash used to acquire the Macy's and Sears' locations at several malls.

Cash Used in Financing Activities

Cash flows used in financing activities decreased $51.9 million as compared to the prior-year period. In 2017, we utilized our lines of credit to acquire the Macy's and Sears' locations for $79.8 million and to retire four operating property loans totaling $159.7 million. These borrowings were partially offset by a prepayment fee of $8.5 million from the early retirement of the loans which were paid off in conjunction with the sale of an outlet center and a higher amount of distributions to noncontrolling interests as we distributed our partner’s share of the net proceeds from the sale of one property. In 2016 we utilized a greater amount of proceeds from sales of properties to reduce the outstanding balances on our lines of credit.

Debt

Debt of the Company

CBL has no indebtedness. Either the Operating Partnership or one of its consolidated subsidiaries, that it has a direct or indirect ownership interest in, is the borrower on all of our debt. CBL is a limited guarantor of the Notes, issued by the Operating Partnership in November 2013, October 2014 and December 2016, respectively, for losses suffered solely by reason of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Operating Partnership or its affiliates. We also provide a similar limited guarantee of the Operating Partnership's obligations with respect to our unsecured credit facilities and three unsecured term loans as of June 30, 2017.

Operating Partnership debt:
$350,000 unsecured term loan	350,000		(4)
Total 2017 Maturities at pro rata share	$	533,570

(1) The Company has a preliminary agreement with the lender to modify the loan and extend the maturity date.

(2) The loan has two one-year extension options, at the unconsolidated affiliate's election, for an outside maturity date of December 2019.

(3) Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the loan secured by Gulf Coast Town Center - Phase III was retired.

(4) The unsecured term loan has two one-year extension options, at the Company's election, for an outside maturity date of October 2019. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, the Company exercised an option to extend the maturity date to October 2018.

As of June 30, 2017, $533.6 million of our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt, excluding debt premiums and discounts, is scheduled to mature during 2017. Of the $533.6 million of 2017 maturities, the $350.0 million unsecured term loan and the Ambassador Town Center Infrastructure loan, with a principal balance of $11.0 million have extension options available. The $2.1 million loan secured by phase three of Gulf Coast Town Center was retired subsequent to June 30, 2017 and the $350.0 million unsecured term loan was extended to October 2018, leaving a remaining balance of $170.5 million of 2017 maturities that must be either retired or refinanced. We have a preliminary agreement with the lender to modify and extend the $124.2 million loan secured by Acadiana Mall, which matured in April 2017, and expect to refinance the $46.3 million loan secured by the joint venture property. A $17.7 million loan secured by Wausau Center, which is scheduled to mature in 2021, is in foreclosure, which is expected to be complete in the third quarter of 2017.

The weighted-average remaining term of our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt was 4.7 years and 5.4 years at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively. The weighted-average remaining term of our pro rata share of fixed-rate debt was 5.4 years and 3.8 years at June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, respectively.

As of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt represented 24.1% and 19.3%, respectively, of our total pro rata share of debt. As of June 30, 2017, our share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt represented 16.2% of our total market capitalization (see Equity below) as compared to 12.1% as of December 31, 2016. The increase is primarily due to the decline in our stock price from $11.50 at December 30, 2016 to $8.43 at June 30, 2017.

See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning the amount and terms of our outstanding indebtedness and compliance with applicable covenants and restrictions as of June 30, 2017. See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for various extensions and modifications made to several unsecured term loans and credit facilities subsequent to June 30, 2017.

(1) We retired the loans with borrowings from our credit facilities unless otherwise noted.

(2) The loan was retired in conjunction with the sale of the property which secured the loan. See Note 4 to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for more information. We recorded an $8,500 loss on extinguishment of debt due to a prepayment fee on the early retirement.

In March 2017, we exercised an extension to extend the loan secured by Statesboro Crossing to June 2018. Subsequent to June 30, 2017, we also retired the loan secured by phase three of Gulf Coast Town Center.

The following is a summary of our 2017 dispositions for which the consolidated mall securing the related fixed-rate debt was transferred to the lender (in thousands):    

Date	Property	Interest Rate at Repayment Date	Scheduled Maturity Date	Balance of Non-recourse Debt		Gain on Extinguishment of Debt
January	Midland Mall (1)	6.10%	August 2016	$	31,953	$	3,760
June	Chesterfield Mall (1)	5.74%	September 2016	140,000		29,215
				$	171,953	$	32,975

(1) The mortgage lender completed the foreclosure process and received the title to the mall in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt.

Other

The non-recourse loan secured by Wausau Center is in default and receivership at June 30, 2017. The mall generates insufficient income levels to cover the debt service on the mortgage, which had a balance of $17.7 million at June 30, 2017. We plan to return this mall to the lender when foreclosure proceedings are complete, which is expected to occur in the third quarter of 2017.

In conjunction with the divestiture of our interests in a consolidated joint venture, we were relieved of our funding obligation related to the loan secured by vacant land owned by the joint venture, which had a principal balance of $2.5 million upon the disposition of our interests in the first quarter of 2017.

Equity

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we paid dividends of $113.0 million to holders of CBL's common stock and preferred stock, as well as $41.2 million in distributions to the noncontrolling interest investors in the Operating Partnership and other consolidated subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership paid distributions of $22.4 million and $106.4 million on the preferred units and common units, respectively, as well as distributions of $25.4 million to the noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries.

On June 2, 2017, we announced a second quarter 2017 common stock dividend of $0.265 per share payable in cash that was paid on July 17, 2017. On February 24, 2017, we announced a first quarter 2017 common stock dividend of $0.265 per share payable in cash that was paid on April 17, 2017. Future dividends payable will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon circumstances at the time of declaration. Our dividend payout ratio was 54.6% and 53.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

As a publicly traded company and, as a subsidiary of a publicly traded company, we have access to capital through both the public equity and debt markets. We currently have a shelf registration statement on file with the SEC authorizing us to publicly issue senior and/or subordinated debt securities, shares of preferred stock (or depositary shares representing fractional interests therein), shares of common stock, warrants or rights to purchase any of the foregoing securities, and units consisting of two or more of these classes or series of securities and limited guarantees of debt securities issued by the Operating Partnership.  Pursuant to the shelf registration statement, the Operating Partnership is also authorized to publicly issue unsubordinated debt securities. There is no limit to the offering price or number of securities that we may issue under this shelf registration statement.

At-The-Market Equity Program

On March 1, 2013, we entered into Sales Agreements with a number of sales agents to sell shares of CBL's common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, from time to time through an ATM program. In accordance with the Sales Agreements, we will set the parameters for the sales of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are to be made and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Sales Agreements provide that the sales agents will be entitled to compensation for their services at a mutually agreed commission rate not to exceed 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through the ATM program. For each share of common stock issued by CBL, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding number of common units of limited partnership interest to CBL in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. We include only share issuances that have settled in the calculation of shares outstanding at the end of each period.

54

We have not sold any shares under the ATM program since 2013. Since the commencement of the ATM program, CBL has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average sales price of $25.12 per share, and approximately $88.5 million remains available that may be sold under this program as of June 30, 2017. Actual future sales under this program, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of CBL's common stock and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program.

Debt-To-Total Market Capitalization

Our strategy is to maintain a conservative debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio in order to enhance our access to the broadest range of capital markets, both public and private. Based on our share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt and the market value of equity, our debt-to-total-market capitalization (debt plus market value of equity) ratio was 67.4% at June 30, 2017, compared to 67.2% at June 30, 2016. Our debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio at June 30, 2017 was computed as follows (in thousands, except stock prices): 

	Shares Outstanding	Stock Price (1)		Value
Common stock and operating partnership units	199,321	$	8.43	$	1,680,276
7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock	1,815	250.00		453,750
6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock	690	250.00		172,500
Total market equity				2,306,526
Company’s share of total debt				4,765,158
Total market capitalization				$	7,071,684
Debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio				67.4		%

(1) Stock price for common stock and Operating Partnership units equals the closing price of CBL's common stock on June 30, 2017. The stock prices for the preferred stock represent the liquidation preference of each respective series of preferred stock.

Capital Expenditures

Deferred maintenance expenditures are generally billed to tenants as common area maintenance expense, and most are recovered over a 5 to 15-year period. Renovation expenditures are primarily for remodeling and upgrades of malls, of which a portion is recovered from tenants over a 5 to 15-year period.  We recover these costs through fixed amounts with annual increases or pro rata cost reimbursements based on the tenant’s occupied space.

The following table, which excludes expenditures for developments and expansions, summarizes these capital expenditures, including our share of unconsolidated affiliates' capital expenditures, for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Tenant allowances (1)	$	10,600	$	21,251	$	20,116	$	32,896

Total deferred maintenance	9,887		4,122		17,541		9,636
Capitalized overhead	1,984		1,622		4,291		2,948
Capitalized interest	385		448		1,224		996
Total capital expenditures	$	26,419	$	28,950	$	47,237	$	51,097

(1) Tenant allowances primarily relate to new leases. Tenant allowances related to renewal leases were not material for the periods presented.

55

Our total investment in renovations that are scheduled for 2017 is projected to be $10.2 million, which includes exterior and floor renovations, as well as other eco-friendly green renovations. Annual capital expenditures budgets are prepared for each of our properties that are intended to provide for all necessary recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. We believe that property operating cash flows, which include reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses, will provide the necessary funding for these expenditures.

We are working on plans for the three Macy's locations which were purchased in January 2017 as well as the five Sears' stores which we gained control of in a sales-leaseback transaction. We expect to announce more substantive plans for several locations later this year as leases are finalized. These asset acquisitions afford us the opportunity to reinvent and transition our properties into suburban town centers designed to appeal to evolving consumer preferences.

We own land and hold options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.  Except for the projects presented above, we do not have any other material capital commitments as of June 30, 2017.    

Acquisitions and Dispositions

See Note 4 and Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of our acquisition and disposition activity related to consolidated and unconsolidated affiliates.    

Gain on Extinguishment of Debt

In June 2017, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $29.2 million upon the transfer of Chesterfield Mall to the lender in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the mall, which had a principal balance of $140.0 million. We also recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $3.8 million upon the transfer of Midland Mall in January 2017 to the lender in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by the mall, which had a principal balance of $32.0 million. These gains were partially offset by an $8.5 million loss on extinguishment of debt from prepayment fees for the early retirement of debt related to three loans secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City, which were retired in conjunction with its sale in April 2017.

Loss on Investment

Subsequent to June 30, 2017, River Ridge Mall JV, LLC, a subsidiary of the Company, entered into a binding contract to sell its 25% interest in River Ridge Mall, located in Lynchburg, VA, to its joint venture partner for $9.0 million in cash. The Company recorded a $5.8 million loss on investment related to the pending disposition. The sale is expected to close in the third quarter of 2017.

Impairment of Real Estate Assets

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recorded a loss on impairment of $46.5 million which primarily relates to one mall, a parcel project near an outlet mall and one outparcel. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

57

Gain on Sales of Real Estate Assets

During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we recognized an $85.5 million gain on sales of real estate assets, primarily related to the sale of two malls, an outlet center and six outparcels.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Affiliates

We have ownership interests in 17 unconsolidated affiliates as of June 30, 2017 that are described in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.”  The following are circumstances when we may consider entering into a joint venture with a third party:

• Third parties may approach us with opportunities in which they have obtained land and performed some pre-development activities, but they may not have sufficient access to the capital resources or the development and leasing expertise to bring the project to fruition. We enter into such arrangements when we determine such a project is viable and we can achieve a satisfactory return on our investment. We typically earn development fees from the joint venture and provide management and leasing services to the property for a fee once the property is placed in operation.

• We determine that we may have the opportunity to capitalize on the value we have created in a property by selling an interest in the property to a third party. This provides us with an additional source of capital that can be used to develop or acquire additional real estate assets that we believe will provide greater potential for growth. When we retain an interest in an asset rather than selling a 100% interest, it is typically because this allows us to continue to manage the property, which provides us the ability to earn fees for management, leasing, development and financing services provided to the joint venture.

Guarantees

We may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on our investment in the joint venture. We may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when we issue a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that we may receive indemnification from the joint venture or have the ability to increase our ownership interest.

The following table represents our guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016 (in thousands):

	As of June 30, 2017									Obligation recorded to reflect guaranty
Unconsolidated Affiliate	Company's Ownership Interest	Outstanding Balance		Percentage Guaranteed by the Operating Partnership		Maximum Guaranteed Amount		Debt Maturity Date (1)		6/30/2017		12/31/2016

				Total guaranty liability						$	412	$	412

(1) Excludes any extension options.

(2) The loan is secured by Hammock Landing - Phase I and Hammock Landing - Phase II, respectively.

(3) The loan has a one-year extension option, which is at the unconsolidated affiliate's election, for an outside maturity date of February 2019.

(4) The guaranty will be reduced to 50% on March 1 of such year as PILOT payments received and attributed to the prior calendar year by Ambassador Infrastructure and delivered to the lender are $1,200 or more, provided no event of default exists. The guaranty will be reduced to 20% when the PILOT payments are $1,400 or more, provided no event of default exists.

(5) The loan has two one-year extension options, which are the unconsolidated affiliate's election, for an outside maturity date of December 2019.

58

We have guaranteed the lease performance of YTC, an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. We have guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22.0 million, which decreases by $0.8 million annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10.0 million. The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020.  The maximum guaranteed obligation was $14.0 million as of June 30, 2017.  We entered into an agreement with our joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse us 50% of any amounts we are obligated to fund under the guaranty.  We did not include an obligation for this guaranty because we determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material as of June 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.        

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and disclosures. Some of these estimates and assumptions require application of difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgment about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section. There have been no material changes to these policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2017. Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10‑K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information on recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Impact of Inflation and Deflation

Deflation can result in a decline in general price levels, often caused by a decrease in the supply of money or credit.  The predominant effects of deflation are high unemployment, credit contraction and weakened consumer demand.  Restricted lending practices could impact our ability to obtain financings or refinancings for our properties and our tenants’ ability to obtain credit.  Decreases in consumer demand can have a direct impact on our tenants and the rents we receive.

During inflationary periods, substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the impact of inflation.  These provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rent based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases.  In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which may provide us the opportunity to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rent if rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate.  Most of the leases require the tenants to pay a fixed amount, subject to annual increases, for their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and certain capital expenditures, which reduces our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Non-GAAP Measure

Funds from Operations

FFO is a widely used non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock of the Company or distributions on preferred units of the Operating Partnership, as applicable. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

59

We believe that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, we believe that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of our operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of our properties and interest rates, but also by our capital structure.

We present both FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders and FFO allocable to common shareholders, as we believe that both are useful performance measures.  We believe FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders is a useful performance measure since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership.  We believe FFO allocable to common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders.

In our reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders that is presented below, we make an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of our Operating Partnership in order to arrive at FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders.  We then apply a percentage to FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders to arrive at FFO allocable to common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and the weighted-average number of Operating Partnership units held by noncontrolling interests during the period.     

FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance.

The Company believes that it is important to identify the impact of certain significant items on its FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of the Company’s results of operations. Therefore, the Company has also presented adjusted FFO measures excluding these significant items from the applicable periods. Please refer to the reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders below for a description of these adjustments.

FFO of the Operating Partnership decreased 20.9% to $116.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $146.7 million for the prior-year period, and decreased 21.2% to $222.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2017 as compared to $282.7 million for the prior-year period. Excluding the adjustments noted below, FFO of the Operating Partnership, as adjusted, decreased 15.9% for the three months ended June 30, 2017 to $99.7 million compared to $118.6 million for the same period in 2016, and decreased 11.8% for the six months ended June 30, 2017 to $202.7 million compared to $229.9 million for the same period in 2016. The decrease in FFO, as adjusted, was primarily driven by dilution from asset sales in the prior year and the current year-to-date period and $5.0 million of abandoned projects expense in the current year periods. FFO, as adjusted, for the current year periods was also impacted by higher interest expense, less gains on outparcel sales and lower revenues resulting from lower occupancy and bankruptcies.

The reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders is as follows (in thousands, except per share data):

ITEM 3:    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risk exposures, including interest rate risk. The following discussion regarding our risk management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties.  Estimates of future performance and economic conditions are reflected assuming certain changes in interest rates.  Caution should be used in evaluating our overall market risk from the information presented below, as actual results may differ.  We employ various derivative programs to manage certain portions of our market risk associated with interest rates.  See Note 6 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussions of the qualitative aspects of market risk, including derivative financial instrument activity.

Interest Rate Risk

Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at June 30, 2017, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable-rate debt would decrease or increase annual cash flows by approximately $5.7 million and $1.8 million, respectively, and increase or decrease annual interest expense, after the effect of capitalized interest, by approximately $5.6 million and $1.6 million, respectively.

Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt at June 30, 2017, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $83.0 million, while a 0.5% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $85.8 million. 

ITEM 4:    Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information that the Company and the Operating Partnership are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and to ensure that information we are required to disclose is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in the Company's or the Operating Partnership's internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
