During the first half of 2018, we completed our portfolio transformation and are
now a prominent owner of multi-tenant retail properties, many with a mixed-use
component, primarily located in the following markets: Dallas, Washington,
D.C./Baltimore, New York, Chicago, Seattle, Atlanta, Houston, San Antonio,
Phoenix and Austin.
We are primarily focused on growing our portfolio organically through (i)
accretive leasing activity and (ii) mixed-use expansion and redevelopment
projects. During 2019, we recorded a series of accomplishments in each of these
primary areas of focus.
Our 2019 leasing activity was accretive as we signed 498 new and renewal leases
across 3,255,000 square feet of GLA for a blended comparable re-leasing spread
of 8.1%, achieving positive comparable cash leasing spreads of 19.7% on signed
new leases and 5.3% on signed renewal leases. This 2019 signed leasing activity
represents approximately 16% of our portfolio GLA, just shy of our record high
of approximately 17% achieved in 2018. These signings helped us achieve record
highs in a number of leasing, occupancy and ABR statistics as of December 31,
2019, including (i) retail portfolio occupancy of 95.2%, (ii) retail portfolio
percent leased, including leases signed but not commenced, of 96.2%, (iii)
retail anchor tenant occupancy of 97.6% and (iv) retail anchor tenant percent
leased, including leases signed but not commenced, of 98.8%, as well as retail
portfolio ABR per occupied square foot of $19.52. During 2019, we also achieved
average annual contractual rent increases on signed new leases of approximately
180 basis points.
Our active and near-term expansion and redevelopment projects consist of
approximately $372,000 to $407,000 of expected investment through 2022,
equivalent to approximately 12% of the net book value of our investment
properties as of December 31, 2019. These predominantly mixed use-focused
projects include the redevelopments at Circle East and phase one at Carillon,
the expansion projects of Pads G & H at One Loudoun Downtown and site and
building reconfiguration at The Shoppes at Quarterfield as well as the vacant
pad development at Southlake Town Square. Our current portfolio of assets
contains numerous additional projects in the longer-term pipeline, including,
among others, future phases at Carillon, additional pad developments at One
Loudoun Downtown, pad developments and expansions at Main Street Promenade and
Downtown Crown, and future projects at Merrifield Town Center, Tysons Corner,
Southlake Town Square, Lakewood Towne Center and One Loudoun Uptown.
During 2019, we recorded several milestones related to our expansion and
redevelopment projects. We placed the redevelopment of the multi-family rental
units at Plaza del Lago, our first multi-family rental redevelopment, in
service. At Carillon, we executed a joint venture agreement for the medical
office building component at phase one of the project and completed demolition
work on approximately 290,000 square feet of vacant retail GLA. We also broke
ground on Pads G & H at One Loudoun Downtown. Lastly, we signed our first lease
at the Circle East redevelopment with a prominent fast casual restaurant
operator.

Net income attributable to common shareholders decreased $45,243 from $77,640
for the year ended December 31, 2018 to $32,397 for the year ended December 31,
2019 primarily as a result of the following:
•      an $18,596 increase in depreciation and amortization primarily due to the

write-off of assets taken out of service due to the demolition of existing

structures at our Carillon redevelopment during the year ended December


       31, 2019. No such write-off occurred during the year ended December 31,
       2018;

• an $18,339 decrease in gain on sales of investment properties related to

the sale of two investment properties, representing approximately 236,100


       square feet of GLA, and the sale of two land parcels during the year ended
       December 31, 2019 compared to the sale of 10 investment properties and a

land parcel, representing approximately 1,831,200 square feet of GLA, and


       the sale of air rights at Circle East during the year ended December 31,
       2018; and

• a $10,219 increase in provision for impairment of investment properties.

Based on the results of our evaluations for impairment (see Notes 12 and

13 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements), we recognized

impairment charges of $12,298 and $2,079 during the years ended

December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively;

partially offset by • a $6,489 decrease in operating expenses primarily due to the sales of

operating properties during 2018 and 2019 as well as termination fee

expense of $1,900 incurred during 2018 related to the Toys "R" Us auction

process whereby we were the winning bidder on two leases. No such

termination fee expense was incurred during 2019.




Net operating income (NOI)
We define NOI as all revenues other than (i) straight-line rental income
(non-cash), (ii) amortization of lease inducements, (iii) amortization of
acquired above and below market lease intangibles and (iv) lease termination fee
income, less real estate taxes and all operating expenses other than lease
termination fee expense and non-cash ground rent expense, which is comprised of
straight-line ground rent expense and amortization of acquired ground lease
intangibles for the year ended December 31, 2018 and amortization of
right-of-use lease assets and amortization of lease liabilities for the year
ended December 31, 2019. NOI consists of same store NOI (Same Store NOI) and NOI
from other investment properties (NOI from Other Investment Properties). We
believe that NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties, which
are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, provide an additional and useful
operating perspective not immediately apparent from "Net income" or "Net income
attributable to common shareholders" in accordance with accounting principles
generally accepted in the United States (GAAP). We use these measures to
evaluate our performance on a property-by-property basis because they allow
management to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease
rates and tenant base have on our operating results. NOI, Same Store NOI and

NOI from Other Investment Properties do not represent alternatives to "Net
income" or "Net income attributable to common shareholders" in accordance with
GAAP as indicators of our financial performance. Comparison of our presentation
of NOI, Same Store NOI and NOI from Other Investment Properties to similarly
titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to
possible differences in definition and application by such REITs. For reference
and as an aid in understanding our computation of NOI, a reconciliation of net
income attributable to common shareholders as computed in accordance with GAAP
to Same Store NOI has been presented for each comparable period presented.
Same store portfolio - 2019 and 2018
For the year ended December 31, 2019, our same store portfolio consisted of 102
retail operating properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior
to January 1, 2018. The number of properties in our same store portfolio
increased to 102 as of December 31, 2019 from 101 as of December 31, 2018 as a
result of the following:
•      the addition of three same store investment properties acquired prior to
       January 1, 2018;

partially offset by • the removal of two same store investment properties sold during the year

ended December 31, 2019.




The properties and financial results reported in "Other investment properties"
primarily include the following:
• properties acquired after December 31, 2017;


Reisterstown Road Plaza, which was reclassified from active redevelopment

into our retail operating portfolio during 2018;

• the multi-family rental units at Plaza del Lago, a redevelopment project

that was placed in service during 2019;

• Circle East, which is in active redevelopment;

• One Loudoun Downtown - Pads G & H, which are in active development;

• Carillon, which is in active redevelopment;

• properties that were sold or held for sale in 2018 and 2019; and

• the net income from our wholly owned captive insurance company.

(ii) $3,105 from occupancy growth and (iii) $2,177 from re-leasing spreads,
partially offset by $1,595 from higher rent abatements.
Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, an
industry trade group, has promulgated a financial measure known as funds from
operations (FFO). In December 2018, NAREIT issued "NAREIT Funds From Operations
White Paper - 2018 Restatement" (2018 FFO White Paper) to incorporate
interpretive guidance and clarifications made by NAREIT subsequent to their
previous FFO White Paper, which was issued in April 2002. The 2018 FFO White
Paper was effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018 and
interim periods therein. We adopted the 2018 FFO White Paper effective January
1, 2019 on a retrospective basis.
As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with GAAP,
excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains
from sales of real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control
and (iv) impairment write-downs of real estate assets and investments in
entities directly attributable to decreases in the value of real estate held by
the entity. We have adopted the NAREIT definition in our computation of FFO
attributable to common shareholders. Management believes that, subject to the
following limitations, FFO attributable to common shareholders provides a basis
for comparing our performance and operations to those of other REITs.
The 2018 FFO White Paper did not change the fundamental definition of FFO;
however, it provided clarification and that, to the extent a REIT recognizes a
gain on sale or impairment related to assets incidental to the main business of
a REIT, the REIT has the option to include or exclude such gains or impairments
in the calculation of FFO. In connection with the adoption of the 2018 FFO White
Paper, we elected to exclude all gains on sale and impairments of real estate
from FFO, whereas we previously only excluded gains on sale and impairments of
depreciable investment properties. To be consistent with the current
presentation, we restated FFO attributable to common shareholders for the year
ended December 31, 2018 to exclude the gain on sale of non-depreciable
investment property of $3,464, which was previously included within FFO
attributable to common shareholders. There was no change to FFO attributable to
common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2017 as a result of the
adoption of the 2018 FFO White Paper as there was no gain on sale or impairment
of non-depreciable investment property recorded during the year ended December
31, 2017.
We define Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders as FFO attributable
to common shareholders excluding the impact of discrete non-operating
transactions and other events which we do not consider representative of the
comparable operating results of our real estate operating portfolio, which is
our core business platform. Specific examples of discrete non-operating
transactions and other events include, but are not limited to, the impact on
earnings from gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt
or other liabilities, litigation involving the Company, the impact on earnings
from executive separation and the excess of redemption value over carrying value
of preferred stock redemption, which are not otherwise adjusted in our
calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders. There was no change to
previously reported Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders for the
years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017 as a result of the adoption of the 2018
FFO White Paper because gains on sale and impairments of non-depreciable
investment property have been, and continue to be, excluded from our calculation
of Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders.
We believe that FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO
attributable to common shareholders, which are supplemental non-GAAP financial
measures, provide additional and useful means to assess the operating
performance of REITs. FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO
attributable to common shareholders do not represent alternatives to (i) "Net
income" or "Net income attributable to common shareholders" as indicators of our
financial performance, or (ii) "Cash

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that cash flows from the below-listed sources will provide
adequate capital for the next 12 months and beyond for all scheduled principal
and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, including maturing debt,
current and anticipated tenant allowances or other capital obligations, the
shareholder distributions required to maintain our REIT status and compliance
with the financial covenants of our unsecured debt agreements.

We have made substantial progress over the last several years in strengthening
our balance sheet, as demonstrated by our reduced leverage, improved financial
flexibility and higher unencumbered asset ratio. We have funded debt maturities
primarily through asset dispositions and capital markets transactions, including
the public offering of our common stock and private and public offerings of
senior unsecured notes. As of December 31, 2019, we had no scheduled debt
maturities and $2,494 of principal amortization due through the end of 2020,
which we plan on satisfying through a combination of cash flows from operations,
working capital and our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Unsecured Term Loans and Revolving Line of Credit
Unsecured Credit Facility
On April 23, 2018, we entered into our fifth amended and restated unsecured
credit agreement (Unsecured Credit Agreement) with a syndicate of financial
institutions led by Wells Fargo Bank, National Association serving as
syndication agent and KeyBank National Association serving as administrative

(Unsecured Credit Facility). The Unsecured Credit Facility consists of an
$850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit and a $250,000 unsecured term loan
and is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In
accordance with the Unsecured Credit Agreement, we may elect to convert to an
investment grade pricing grid. As of December 31, 2019, making such an election
would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, we have not made the
election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.
The following table summarizes the key terms of the Unsecured Credit Facility:

Credit Agreement, we are subject to various financial covenants, including the
requirement to maintain the following: (i) maximum unencumbered, secured and

interest coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2019, management believes we were

Unsecured Term Loans
Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026
On July 17, 2019, we entered into a term loan agreement (2019 Term Loan
Agreement) with a group of financial institutions for a five-year $120,000
unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2024) and a seven-year $150,000 unsecured
term loan (Term Loan Due 2026). The Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026
bear interest at a rate of LIBOR, adjusted based on applicable reserve
percentages established by the Federal Reserve, plus a credit spread based on a
leverage grid. In accordance with the 2019 Term Loan Agreement, we may elect to
convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of December 31, 2019, making
such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, we
have not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. The
proceeds were used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate

Term Loan Due 2023
On January 3, 2017, we received funding on a seven-year $200,000 unsecured term

defined in the Amended 2017 Term Loan Agreement and (ii) our ability to obtain
additional lender commitments.
The 2019 Term Loan Agreement and the Amended 2017 Term Loan Agreement contain
customary representations, warranties and covenants, and events of default.
These include financial covenants such as (i) maximum unencumbered, secured and
consolidated leverage ratios; (ii) minimum fixed charge coverage ratios; and
(iii) minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2019,
management believes we were in compliance with the financial covenants and
default provisions under the 2019 Term Loan Agreement and the Amended 2017 Term
Loan Agreement.

We plan on addressing our debt maturities through a combination of cash flows
from operations, working capital, capital markets transactions and our unsecured
revolving line of credit.
Distributions and Equity Transactions
Our distributions of current and accumulated earnings and profits for U.S.
federal income tax purposes are taxable to shareholders, generally, as ordinary
income. Distributions in excess of these earnings and profits generally are
treated as a non-taxable reduction of the shareholders' basis in the shares to
the extent thereof (non-dividend distributions) and thereafter as taxable gain.
We intend to continue to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.
The Code generally requires that a REIT annually distributes to its shareholders
at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the
dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. The Code imposes tax
on any undistributed REIT taxable income.
To satisfy the requirements for qualification as a REIT and generally not be
subject to U.S. federal income and excise tax, we intend to make regular
quarterly distributions of all, or substantially all, of our taxable income to
shareholders. Our future distributions will be at the sole discretion of our
board of directors. When determining the amount of future distributions, we
expect to consider, among other factors, (i) the amount of cash generated from
our operating activities, (ii) our expectations of future cash flow, (iii) our
determination of near-term cash needs for debt repayments and potential future
share repurchases, (iv) the market of available acquisitions of new properties
and redevelopment, expansion and pad development opportunities, (v) the timing
of significant re-leasing activities and the establishment of additional cash
reserves for anticipated tenant allowances and general property capital
improvements, (vi) our ability to continue to access additional sources of
capital, and (vii) the amount required to be distributed to maintain our status
as a REIT, which is a requirement of our Unsecured Credit Agreement, and to
avoid or minimize any income and excise taxes that we otherwise would be
required to pay. Under certain circumstances, we may be required to make
distributions in excess of cash available for distribution in order to meet the
REIT distribution requirements.
In December 2015, our board of directors authorized a common stock repurchase
program under which we may repurchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of
$250,000 of shares of our Class A common stock. In December 2017, our board of
directors authorized a $250,000 increase to the common stock repurchase program.
The shares may be repurchased in the open market or in privately negotiated
transactions and are canceled upon repurchase. The timing and actual number of
shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors, including price in
absolute terms and in relation to the value of our assets, corporate and
regulatory requirements, market conditions and other corporate liquidity
requirements and priorities. The common stock repurchase program may be
suspended or terminated at any time without prior notice. We did not repurchase
any shares during the year ended December 31, 2019. During the years ended
December 31, 2018 and 2017, we repurchased 6,341 and 17,683 shares,
respectively, at an average price per share of $11.80 and $12.82, respectively,
for a total of $74,952 and $227,102, respectively. As of December 31, 2019,
$189,105 remained available for repurchases of shares of our Class A common
stock under our common stock repurchase program.
Capital Expenditures and Redevelopment Activity
We anticipate that obligations related to capital improvements and
redevelopments, including expansions and pad developments, in 2020 can be met
with cash flows from operations, working capital, capital markets transactions
and our unsecured revolving line of credit.
As of December 31, 2019, we have active expansion and redevelopment projects at
Circle East, One Loudoun Downtown and Carillon. We have invested a total of
approximately $42,000 in these projects, which is net of proceeds of $11,820
from the sale of air rights at Circle East and net of contributions from our
joint venture partners at One Loudoun Downtown and Carillon. These projects are
at various stages of completion, and based on our current plans and estimates,
we anticipate that it will require approximately $319,000 to $352,000 of
additional investment from us to complete these projects. In addition, we have a
near-term expansion project at The Shoppes at Quarterfield and a vacant pad
development at Southlake Town Square that we anticipate commencing in 2020 and
will require approximately $11,000 to $13,000 of investment.
We capitalized $3,730, $2,128 and $1,202 of indirect project costs, which
includes $1,414, $1,123 and $268 of internal salaries and related benefits of
personnel directly involved in the expansion and redevelopment projects and
$1,594, $462 and $485 of interest, related to expansion and redevelopment
projects during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

In addition, we capitalized $2,685, $2,032 and $1,187 of internal salaries and
related benefits of personnel directly involved in capital projects and tenant
improvements during the years ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017,
respectively. We also capitalized $359, $384 and $368 of internal leasing
incentives, all of which were incremental to signed leases, during the years
ended December 31, 2019, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Cash flows from operating activities consist primarily of net income from
property operations, adjusted for the following, among others: (i) depreciation
and amortization, (ii) provision for impairment of investment properties and
(iii) gain on sales of investment properties. Net cash provided by operating
activities in 2019 increased $27,328 primarily due to the following:
•      a $4,954 increase in NOI, consisting of an increase in Same Store NOI of

$8,411, partially offset by a decrease in NOI from properties that were

sold or held for sale in 2018 and 2019 and other properties not included

in our same store portfolio of $3,457; and

• ordinary course fluctuations in working capital accounts;




partially offset by
• a $1,661 increase in cash paid for leasing fees and inducements;


• a $1,230 increase in cash paid for interest, excluding debt prepayment

fees; and

• a $514 increase in cash bonuses paid.




Cash Flows from Investing Activities
Cash flows from investing activities consist primarily of cash paid to purchase
investment properties and fund capital expenditures, tenant improvements and
developments in progress, net of proceeds from the sales of investment
properties. Net cash flows from investing activities in 2019 decreased $177,577
due to the following:
• a $153,231 decrease in proceeds from the sales of investment properties;


• a $17,244 increase in investment in developments in progress;

• a $4,441 increase in cash paid to purchase investment properties; and

• a $2,661 increase in capital expenditures and tenant improvements.




In 2020, we expect to fund redevelopment, expansion and pad development
activities, capital expenditures and tenant improvements through cash flows
generated from operations, working capital, capital markets transactions and our
unsecured revolving line of credit.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
Cash flows used in financing activities primarily consist of (i) repayments of
our unsecured revolving line of credit and unsecured term loans, (ii)
distribution payments, (iii) principal payments on mortgages payable, (iv) debt
prepayment costs, (v) payment of loan fees and deposits and (vi) shares
repurchased through our common stock repurchase program, partially offset by
proceeds from our unsecured revolving line of credit and the issuance of debt
instruments. Net cash flows used in financing activities in 2019 decreased
$211,829 primarily due to the following:
•      a $270,000 increase in proceeds from the issuance of the Term Loan Due
       2024 and the Term Loan Due 2026 during the year ended December 31, 2019.
       No such proceeds were received in 2018;

• a $100,000 decrease in repayments of unsecured term loans resulting from


       the repayment of our unsecured term loan due 2018 during the year ended

• a $74,952 decrease in cash paid to repurchase common shares through our


       common stock repurchase program resulting from the common stock
       repurchased in 2018. No such repurchases were completed in 2019;


•      a $3,805 decrease in distributions paid as a result of a decrease in

common shares outstanding due to the repurchase of common shares through

our common stock repurchase program in 2018; and

• a $3,435 decrease in the payment of loan fees and deposits;

partially offset by • a $312,000 change in the activity on our unsecured revolving line of

credit from net borrowings of $57,000 during the year ended December 31,

2018 compared to net repayments of $255,000 during the year ended

December 31, 2019;

• a $28,758 increase in principal payments on mortgages payable; and

combination of cash flows from operations, working capital and our unsecured
revolving line of credit.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Contractual Obligations
The following table presents our obligations and commitments to make future
payments under our debt obligations and lease agreements as of December 31, 2019
and excludes the following:
• the impact of any 2020 debt activity;


• recorded debt discounts and capitalized loan fees, which are not obligations;

• obligations related to developments, redevelopments, expansions and pad


       developments as well as recurring capital additions, as payments are only
       due upon satisfactory performance under the contracts; and

• letters of credit totaling $291 that serve as collateral for certain

capital improvements at one of our properties, which will be satisfied

upon completion of the project.

Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires
management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions
affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of
contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial
statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the
reporting periods. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been
made with respect to capitalization of development costs; provision for
impairment, including estimates of holding periods, capitalization rates and
discount rates (where applicable); and initial valuations and related
amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with
respect to property acquisitions. Actual results could differ from these
estimates.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The following disclosure pertains to accounting policies and estimates we
believe are most "critical" to the portrayal of our financial condition and
results of operations and require our most difficult, subjective or complex
judgments. These judgments often result from the need to make estimates about
the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain. GAAP requires information
in financial statements about accounting principles, methods used and
disclosures pertaining to significant estimates. This discussion addresses our
judgment pertaining to known trends, events or uncertainties which were taken
into consideration upon the application of those policies and the likelihood
that materially different amounts would be reported upon taking into
consideration different conditions and assumptions.
Acquisition of Investment Property
We allocate the purchase price of each acquired investment property accounted
for as an asset acquisition based upon the relative fair value of the individual
assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally include (i) land, (ii)
building and other improvements, (iii) in-place lease value intangibles, (iv)
acquired above and below market lease intangibles, (v) any assumed financing
that is determined to be above or below market and (vi) the value of customer
relationships. Asset acquisitions do not give rise to goodwill and the related
transaction costs are capitalized and included with the allocated purchase
price.
For tangible assets acquired, including land, building and other improvements,
we consider available comparable market and industry information in estimating
the acquisition date fair value. We allocate a portion of the purchase price to
the estimated acquired in-place lease value intangibles based on estimated lease
execution costs for similar leases as well as lost rental payments during an
assumed lease-up period. We also evaluate each acquired lease as compared to
current market rates. If an acquired lease is determined to be above or below
market, we allocate a portion of the purchase price to such above or below
market leases based upon the present value of the difference between the
contractual lease payments and estimated market rent payments over the remaining
lease term. Renewal periods are included within the lease term in the
calculation of above and below market lease intangibles if, based upon factors
known at the acquisition date, market participants would consider it reasonably
assured that the lessee would exercise such options. Fair value estimates used
in acquisition accounting, including the discount rate used, require us to
consider various factors, including, but not limited to, market knowledge,
demographics, age and physical condition of the property, geographic location,
size and location of tenant spaces within the acquired investment property, and
tenant profile.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
Our investment properties, including developments in progress, are reviewed for
potential impairment at the end of each reporting period or whenever events or
changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be
recoverable. At the end of each reporting period, we separately determine
whether impairment indicators exist for each property. Examples of situations
considered to be impairment indicators for both operating properties and
developments in progress include, but are not limited to:
• a substantial decline in or continued low occupancy rate or cash flow;


• expected significant declines in occupancy in the near future;

• continued difficulty in leasing space;

• a significant concentration of financially troubled tenants;

• a reduction in anticipated holding period;

• a cost accumulation or delay in project completion date significantly

above and beyond the original development or redevelopment estimate;

• a significant decrease in market price not in line with general market

trends; and

• any other quantitative or qualitative events or factors deemed significant

by our management or board of directors.




If the presence of one or more impairment indicators as described above is
identified at the end of a reporting period or at any point throughout the year
with respect to a property, the asset is tested for recoverability by comparing
its carrying value to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. An
investment property is considered to be impaired when the estimated future
undiscounted cash flows are less than its current carrying value. When
performing a test for recoverability or estimating the fair value of an impaired
investment property, we make certain complex or subjective assumptions that
include, but are not limited to:
•      projected operating cash flows considering factors such as vacancy rates,
       rental rates, lease terms, tenant financial strength, competitive
       positioning and property location;


•      estimated holding period or various potential holding periods when
       considering probability-weighted scenarios;

• projected capital expenditures and lease origination costs;

• estimated interest and internal costs expected to be capitalized, dates of

construction completion and grand opening dates for developments in

progress;

• projected cash flows from the eventual disposition of an operating

property or development in progress;

• comparable selling prices; and

• a property-specific discount rate.




To the extent impairment has occurred, we will record an impairment charge
calculated as the excess of the carrying value of the asset over its estimated
fair value.
Lease Income
We commence recognition of lease income on our leases based on a number of
factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee
takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased asset. Generally,
this occurs on the lease commencement date. At lease commencement, we expect
that collectibility is probable for all of our leases due to the
creditworthiness analysis performed by us before entering into a new lease.
Lease income, for leases that have fixed and measurable rent escalations, is
recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference
between such lease income earned and the cash rent due under the provisions of a
lease is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of
"Accounts and notes receivable" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Certain leases provide for percentage rent based primarily on tenant sales
volume. We recognize percentage rent when the specified target (i.e. breakpoint)
that triggers the percentage rent is achieved.
Also, most leases provide for the reimbursement of the tenant's pro rata share
of certain operating expenses incurred by the landlord including, among others,
real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance and management
fees, subject to the terms of the respective lease. Certain other tenants are
subject to net leases where the tenant is responsible for paying base rent to us
but is directly responsible for other costs associated with occupancy, such a
real estate taxes. Expenses paid directly by the tenant rather than the landlord
are not included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and
other comprehensive (loss) income. Expenses paid by the landlord, subject to
reimbursement by the tenant, are included within "Operating expenses" or "Real
estate taxes" and reimbursements are included within "Lease income" along with
the associated base rent in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations and other comprehensive (loss) income.
We made an accounting policy election to not separate non-lease components
(primarily reimbursement of common area maintenance costs) from the related
lease components as (i) the fixed non-lease components have the same timing and
pattern of transfer as the associated lease component, (ii) the lease component,
if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease and (iii)
we consider the lease component to be the predominant component of the combined
contract. Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable operating expenses are
recognized within "Lease income" in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations and other comprehensive (loss) income.
In addition, we record lease termination fee income when (i) a termination
letter agreement is signed, (ii) all of the conditions of such agreement have
been fulfilled, (iii) the tenant is no longer occupying the property and (iv)
collectibility is reasonably assured. Upon early lease termination, we provide
for losses related to recognized tenant specific intangibles and other assets or
adjust the remaining useful life of the assets if determined to be appropriate.
Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - Prior to 2020
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2016-02,
Leases. This new guidance, including related ASUs that were subsequently issued,
requires lessees to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a
right-of-use lease (ROU) asset, initially measured at the present value of lease
payments, for both operating and financing leases. For leases with a term of 12
months or less, lessees are permitted to make an accounting policy election, by
class of underlying asset, to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets.
The guidance allows lessees and lessors to make an accounting policy election,
by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from lease
components. The guidance also provides an optional transition method that would
allow entities to initially apply the new guidance in the period of adoption,
recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained
earnings, if necessary, and provides a package of three practical expedients
whereby companies are not required to reassess (i) whether any expired or
existing contracts are or contain leases, (ii) the lease classification
(operating vs. capital/financing leases) for any expired or existing leases and
(iii) initial direct costs for any existing leases (Package of Three Practical
Expedients), as well as practical expedients whereby companies are not required
to reassess whether land easements contain a lease and can use hindsight in
determining the lease term and assessing impairment of the ROU asset. The
guidance requires changes in collectibility of operating lease receivables to be
presented as an adjustment to revenue rather than the previous presentation
within "Operating expenses" on the consolidated statements of operations and
other comprehensive (loss) income. Finally, only incremental direct leasing
costs may be capitalized under the new guidance, which is consistent with our
previous policies.
We adopted this new guidance on January 1, 2019, applied the requirements as of
that date, made an accounting policy election to not separate non-lease
components from lease components for all classes of assets, and elected the
Package of Three Practical Expedients as well as the practical expedient related
to not reassessing whether land easements contain a lease. We did not elect the
practical expedient related to hindsight for determining the lease term or
assessing impairment of ROU assets. There was no retained earnings adjustment as
a result of the adoption. The guidance regarding capitalization of leasing costs
did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Upon adoption, we recognized lease liabilities and ROU assets of $103,432 for
operating leases where we are the lessee related to long-term ground leases and
office leases, which are presented as "Right-of-use lease assets" and "Lease
liabilities" in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. The ROU assets are
presented net of our existing straight-line ground rent liabilities of $31,030
and acquired ground lease intangible liability of $11,898 as of January 1, 2019.
For leases with a term of 12 months or less, we made an accounting policy
election to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets.

For leases where we are the lessor, as noted above, we made an accounting policy
election to not separate non-lease components from lease components for all
classes of assets and have presented all lease-related revenues in a single line
item, "Lease income," rather than the previous presentation that separated
revenues between "Rental income," "Tenant recovery income" and "Other property
income" in the consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive
(loss) income for the current and comparative periods. This resulted in the
reclassification of (i) $370,638 and $414,804 of revenue previously presented as
"Rental income," (ii) $105,170 and $115,944 of revenue previously presented as
"Tenant recovery income" and (iii) $6,689 and $7,391 of revenue previously
presented as "Other property income" for the years ended December 31, 2018 and
2017, respectively, into "Lease income" in the accompanying consolidated
statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income. In addition, we
began recording changes in collectibility of operating lease receivables as an
adjustment to "Lease income" in the accompanying consolidated statements of
operations and other comprehensive (loss) income. For the years ended
December 31, 2018 and 2017, changes in collectibility of operating lease
receivables are presented within "Operating expenses" in the accompanying
consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive (loss) income.
Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging, due
to our early adoption of ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging. This new guidance
permits use of the Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate based on the Secured
Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge
accounting purposes. SOFR represents the fifth permissible U.S. benchmark rate
in addition to the following current eligible benchmark interest rates: (i)
direct Treasury obligations of the U.S. government (UST), (ii) the LIBOR swap
rate, (iii) the OIS Rate based on the Fed Funds Effective Rate and (iv) the
Securities Industry and Financial Markets Association (SIFMA) Municipal Swap
Rate. The adoption of this pronouncement did not have any effect on our
consolidated financial statements as we did not change our benchmark rate.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements - 2020
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit
Losses. This new guidance was effective January 1, 2020 and replaces the current
incurred loss impairment methodology with a methodology that reflects expected
credit losses. Financial assets that are measured at amortized cost are required
to be presented at the net amount expected to be collected with an allowance for
credit losses deducted from the amortized cost basis. In addition, an entity
must consider broader information in developing its expected credit loss
estimate, including the use of forecasted information. In November 2018, the
FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial
Instruments - Credit Losses, which clarifies that receivables arising from
operating leases are not within the scope of this new guidance. Generally, the
pronouncement requires a modified retrospective method of adoption. The adoption
of this pronouncement on January 1, 2020 did not have any effect on our
consolidated financial statements as we did not have any financial assets within
the scope of this guidance.
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement. This new
guidance was effective January 1, 2020 and provides new and, in some cases,
eliminates or modifies the existing disclosure requirements on fair value
measurements. Public entities are now required to disclose the following: (i)
the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other
comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the
end of the reporting period and (ii) the range and weighted average of
significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements.
In addition, public entities are no longer required to disclose the following:
(i) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the
fair value hierarchy, (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels and
(iii) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new
pronouncement also clarifies and modifies certain existing provisions to promote
the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value
measurement disclosures and clarifies that materiality is an appropriate
consideration when evaluating disclosure requirements. As permitted by the new
pronouncement, we removed the discussion of our valuation processes for Level 3
fair value measurements. We did not remove any other disclosures as we did not
have any transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy during the current
and comparative periods. The adoption of this pronouncement on January 1, 2020
did not have any effect on our consolidated financial statements. The amended
disclosure guidance will be applied prospectively.
Inflation
Certain of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact
of inflation. Such provisions include clauses enabling us to receive payment of
additional rent calculated as a percentage of tenants' gross sales above
predetermined thresholds, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or
escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of
the leases. While most escalation clauses are fixed in nature, some may include
increases based upon changes in the consumer price index or similar inflation
indices. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than 10 years,
which permits us to seek to increase rents to market rates upon renewal. Most of
our leases require the tenant to pay an allocable share of operating expenses,
including common area maintenance costs, real estate taxes and insurance,
thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses
resulting from inflation.

Subsequent Events
Subsequent to December 31, 2019, we:
•      closed on the disposition of King Philip's Crossing, a 105,900 square foot

multi-tenant retail operating property located in Seekonk, Massachusetts,

for a sales price of $13,900 with no anticipated gain on sale or

additional impairment due to previously recognized impairment charges;

• closed on the acquisition of the fee interest in Fullerton Metrocenter,

our existing multi-tenant retail operating property located in Fullerton,

California, for a gross purchase price of $55,000. In connection with this

acquisition, we also assumed the lessor position in a ground lease with a

shadow anchor;

• granted 116 restricted shares at a grant date fair value of $13.07 per

share and 331 RSUs at a grant date fair value of $13.67 per RSU to our

executives in conjunction with our long-term equity compensation plan. The

restricted shares will vest over three years and the RSUs granted are

subject to a three-year performance period. Refer to Note 5 to the

accompanying consolidated financial statements for additional details


       regarding the terms of the RSUs;


•      issued 105 shares of common stock and 175 restricted shares with a one

year vesting term for the RSUs with a performance period that concluded on

December 31, 2019. An additional 43 shares of common stock were also
       issued for dividends that would have been paid on the common stock and
       restricted shares during the performance period; and

• declared the cash dividend for the first quarter of 2020 of $0.165625 per

share on our outstanding Class A common stock, which will be paid on April

9, 2020 to Class A common shareholders of record at the close of business


       on March 26, 2020.
