About Macerich and this Document:
The Company is a fully integrated, self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust (“REIT”), which focuses on the acquisition, leasing, management, development and redevelopment of regional town centers throughout the United States. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a majority of the ownership interests in, The Macerich Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership” or the “OP”) and conducts all of its operations through the Operating Partnership and the Company’s management companies (collectively, the “Management Companies”).
As of September 30, 2021, the Operating Partnership owned or had an ownership interest in 49 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) consisting primarily of interests in 45 regional town centers and five community/power shopping centers. These 50 centers (which include any related office space) are referred to hereinafter as the “Centers” unless the context requires otherwise.
All references to the Company in this document include the Company, those entities owned or controlled by the Company and predecessors of the Company, unless the context indicates otherwise.
The Company presents certain measures in this document on a pro rata basis which represents (i) the measure on a consolidated basis, minus the Company’s partners’ share of the measure from its consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ percentage ownership interest); plus (ii) the Company’s share of the measure from its unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the Company’s percentage ownership interest). Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors regarding its financial condition and/or results of operations because they include the Company’s share of the applicable amount from unconsolidated joint ventures and exclude the Company’s partners’ share from consolidated joint ventures, in each case presented on the same basis. The Company has several significant joint ventures and the Company believes that presenting various measures in this manner can help investors better understand the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations after taking into account its economic interest in these joint ventures. Management also uses these measures to evaluate regional property level performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. The Company’s economic interest (as distinct from its legal ownership interest) in certain of its joint ventures could fluctuate from time to time and may not wholly align with its legal ownership interests because of provisions in certain joint venture agreements regarding distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses, payments of preferred returns and control over major decisions. Additionally, the Company does not control its unconsolidated joint ventures and the presentation of certain items, such as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, from these unconsolidated joint ventures does not represent the Company’s legal claim to such items.
