Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report should refer to the audited financial statements of Retail Properties of America, Inc. for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in its 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in the Annual Report have been omitted from this Quarterly Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary, all of which were of normal recurring nature, for a fair presentation have been included in this Quarterly Report.

(1) ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Retail Properties of America, Inc. (the Company) was formed on March 5, 2003 and its primary purpose is to own and operate high quality, strategically located open-air shopping centers, including properties with a mixed-use component. As of March 31, 2021, the Company owned 102 retail operating properties in the United States.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Company believes it qualifies for taxation as a REIT and, as such, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary that has jointly elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate tax rates. The income tax expense incurred by the TRS did not have a material impact on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 condensed 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 (i) the reserve for uncollectible lease income, (ii) provision for impairment, including estimates of holding periods, capitalization rates and discount rates (where applicable), and (iii) initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions and initial recognition of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

All dollar amounts and share amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, are stated in thousands with the exception of per share, per square foot and per unit amounts.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Wholly owned subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies, limited partnerships and statutory trusts.

The Company’s property ownership as of March 31, 2021 is summarized below:

	Property Count
Retail operating properties	102
Expansion and redevelopment projects:
Circle East	1
One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H (a)	—
Carillon	1
The Shoppes at Quarterfield	1
Total number of properties	105

(a)The operating portion of this property is included within the property count for retail operating properties.

(2) SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Refer to the Company’s 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K for a summary of its significant accounting policies. There have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies in the three months ended March 31, 2021.

(3) ACQUISITIONS AND DEVELOPMENTS IN PROGRESS

Acquisitions

The Company did not acquire any properties during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The Company closed on the following acquisition during the three months ended March 31, 2020:

Date	Property Name	Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA)	Property Type	Square Footage	Acquisition Price
February 6, 2020	Fullerton Metrocenter	Los Angeles	Fee interest (a)	154,700	$	55,000
				154,700	$	55,000	(b)

(a)The Company acquired the fee interest in an existing multi-tenant retail operating property. In connection with this acquisition, the Company also assumed the lessor position in a ground lease with a shadow anchor.

(b)Acquisition price does not include capitalized closing costs and adjustments totaling $240.

The following table summarizes the acquisition date values, before prorations, the Company recorded in conjunction with the acquisition discussed above:

	Three Months Ended
	March 31, 2020
Land	$	57,137
Building and other improvements, net	1,623
Acquired lease intangible assets (a)	2,014
Acquired lease intangible liabilities (b)	(5,534)
Net assets acquired	$	55,240

(a)The weighted average amortization period for acquired lease intangible assets is 17 years for the acquisition completed during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

(b)The weighted average amortization period for acquired lease intangible liabilities is 17 years for the acquisition completed during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The acquisition was funded using a combination of available cash on hand, proceeds from dispositions and proceeds from the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit. The acquisition completed during 2020 was considered an asset acquisition and, as such, transaction costs were capitalized upon closing.

In addition, the Company capitalized $716 and $626 of internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in capital upgrades and tenant improvements during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company also capitalized $57 and $60 of internal leasing incentives, all of which were incremental to signed leases, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Developments in Progress

The carrying amount of the Company’s developments in progress are as follows:

Property Name	MSA	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Expansion and redevelopment projects
Circle East	Baltimore	$	34,075	$	38,180
One Loudoun Downtown	Washington, D.C.	101,493		89,103
Carillon	Washington, D.C.	33,393		33,463
The Shoppes at Quarterfield	Baltimore	923		865
Pad development projects
Southlake Town Square	Dallas	2,119		1,495
		172,003		163,106
Land held for future development
One Loudoun Uptown	Washington, D.C.	25,450		25,450
Total developments in progress		$	197,453	$	188,556

In response to macroeconomic conditions related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company halted plans for vertical construction at its Carillon redevelopment during 2020 and materially reduced the planned scope and spend for the project. As of March 31, 2021, the Company continues to evaluate scenarios in anticipation of restarting future development.

The Company capitalized $1,811 and $1,316 of indirect project costs related to redevelopment projects during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, including, among other costs, $409 and $372 of internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in the redevelopment projects and $1,292 and $785 of interest, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had one joint venture related to the development, ownership and operation of the multi-family rental portion of the expansion project at One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H, of which joint venture the Company owns 90%.

The joint venture is considered a VIE primarily because the Company’s joint venture partner does not have substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary as it has a controlling financial interest in the joint venture. As such, the Company has consolidated the joint venture and presented the joint venture partner’s interest as noncontrolling interests.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded the following related to the One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H consolidated joint venture:

	One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H
	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Net investment properties	$	84,278	$	74,314
Other assets, net	$	423	$	354
Other liabilities	$	4,067	$	3,890
Noncontrolling interests	$	4,507	$	4,507

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has funded $3,556 of the partner’s development costs related to One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H through a loan provided by the Company to the joint venture. The loan, secured by the joint venture project, is required to be repaid subsequent to the completion of construction and stabilization of the project and is eliminated upon consolidation. Under terms defined in the joint venture agreement, after construction completion and stabilization of the development project, the Company has the ability to call, and the joint venture partner has the ability to put to the Company, subject to certain conditions, the joint venture partner’s interest in the joint venture at fair value. There was no income from the joint venture project during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and, as such, no income was attributed to the noncontrolling interests.

(5) EQUITY COMPENSATION PLANS

(6) LEASES

Leases as Lessor

Lease income related to the Company’s operating leases is comprised of the following:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Lease income related to fixed and variable lease payments
Base rent (a) (b)	$	86,074	$	90,433
Percentage and specialty rent (c)	524		874
Tenant recoveries (b) (c)	26,028		25,741
Lease termination fee income (c)	679		124

Amortization of above and below market lease intangibles and lease inducements	802		557
Lease income	$	119,380	$	118,695

(a)Base rent primarily consists of fixed lease payments; however, it also includes the net impact of variable lease payments related to lease concessions granted as relief due to COVID-19 in accordance with the Company’s policy elections related to the accounting treatment of such lease concessions. The impact of these lease concessions includes an increase of $1,230 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in base rent related to the repayment of amounts previously deferred under lease concessions that did not meet deferral accounting treatment; as a result, lease income was reduced for the deferral in previous periods, however recognized as variable lease income upon receipt of payment, more than offset by a decrease of $2,609 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in base rent related to lease concession agreements executed during the period that did not meet deferral accounting treatment and for which payment has not been received. The aggregate $2,609 decrease from lease concession agreements was associated with billed base rent of $1,254 from the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $1,355 from prior periods.

(b)Base rent and tenant recoveries are presented gross of any uncollected amounts related to cash-basis tenants. Such uncollected amounts are reflected within “Uncollectible lease income, net.”

(c)Represents lease income related to variable lease payments.

(d)Represents lease income related to fixed lease payments. Straight-line rental income, net includes changes in the reserve for straight-line receivables related to tenants accounted for on a cash basis of $(2,610) and $(1,035) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(e)Uncollectible lease income, net is comprised of (i) collection of amounts related to previous periods from tenants accounted for on the cash basis of accounting, (ii) the impact of executed lease concessions that did not meet deferral accounting treatment, however, were agreed in previous periods; as a result, the impact of these anticipated concessions was included within the reserve for uncollectible lease income until executed, and (iii) a decrease in the general reserve due to collections from accrual-basis tenants, partially offset by (iv) the uncollected portion of current period charges related to cash-basis tenants, and (v) the impact of lease concessions we have agreed in principle of $454 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that are not expected to meet deferral

accounting treatment, however, such agreements have not been executed as of March 31, 2021; as a result, the impact of these anticipated concessions are included within the reserve for uncollectible lease income until executed.

In response to COVID-19 and its related impact on many of the Company’s tenants, the Company reached agreements with tenants regarding lease concessions. The majority of the amounts addressed by the lease concessions are base rent, although certain concessions also address tenant recoveries and other charges. The majority of these concessions were agreed to and, in the majority of these circumstances, executed during the year ended December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has agreed in principle and/or executed additional lease concessions to defer, without an extension of the lease term, $36 of previously uncollected base rent charges and to address an additional $1,877 of previously uncollected base rent charges through abatement, a combination of deferral and abatement or a concession with the extension of the lease term.

As of March 31, 2021, $7,063 of executed lease concessions to defer rental payment without an extension of the lease term, net of related reserves, remain outstanding within “Accounts receivable, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Further, as of March 31, 2021, the amounts that have been deferred to future periods under executed lease concessions, on a weighted average basis, will be received over a period of approximately nine months.

(a)$200,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate of 2.85% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid ranging from 1.20% to 1.85% through November 22, 2023. The applicable credit spread was 1.25% as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

(b)$120,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate of 1.68% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid ranging from 1.20% to 1.70% through July 17, 2024. The applicable credit spread was 1.20% as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

(c)$150,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate of 1.77% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid ranging from 1.50% to 2.20% through July 17, 2026. The applicable credit spread was 1.60% as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

(d)Excludes capitalized loan fees, which are included within “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The revolving line of credit has two six-month extension options that the Company can exercise, at its election, subject to (i) customary representations and warranties, including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the unsecured credit agreement and (ii) payment of an extension fee equal to 0.075% of the revolving line of credit capacity.

Unsecured Credit Facility

On April 23, 2018, the Company entered into its fifth amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,100,000, consisting of an $850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit that matures on April 22, 2022 and a $250,000 unsecured term loan that was scheduled to mature on January 5, 2021 and was repaid during 2020 (Unsecured Credit Facility). The unsecured revolving line of credit is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance with the unsecured credit agreement, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end, and the Company has the option to make an irrevocable election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of March 31, 2021, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

The following table summarizes the key terms of the unsecured revolving line of credit:

				Leverage-Based Pricing		Investment Grade Pricing
Unsecured Credit Facility	Maturity Date	Extension Option	Extension Fee	Credit Spread	Facility Fee	Credit Spread	Facility Fee
$850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit	4/22/2022	2 six-month	0.075%	1.05%–1.50%	0.15%–0.30%	0.825%–1.55%	0.125%–0.30%

The Unsecured Credit Facility has a $500,000 accordion option that allows the Company, at its election, to increase the total Unsecured Credit Facility up to $1,350,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the unsecured credit agreement and (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

In accordance with the respective term loan agreements, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end, and the Company has the option to make an irrevocable election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of March 31, 2021, making such an election would not have changed the interest rate for the Term Loan Due 2023 and would have resulted in higher interest rates for the Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026 and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

The following table summarizes the key terms of the unsecured term loans:

Unsecured Term Loans	Maturity Date	Leverage-Based Pricing Credit Spread				Investment Grade Pricing Credit Spread

The Company’s unsecured debt agreements, consisting of the (i) unsecured credit agreement, as amended, governing the Unsecured Credit Facility, (ii) term loan agreement, as amended, governing the Term Loan Due 2023, (iii) term loan agreement, as amended, governing the Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026, (iv) note purchase agreement governing the 4.58% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (Notes Due 2024), (v) indenture, as supplemented, governing the 4.00% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (Notes Due 2025), (vi) note purchase agreement governing the 4.08% senior unsecured notes due 2026 and the 4.24% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (Notes Due 2026 and 2028), (vii) note purchase agreement governing the 4.82% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (Notes Due 2029) and (viii) indenture, as supplemented, governing the 4.75% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (Notes Due 2030), 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 interest coverage ratios; (iii) minimum fixed charge coverage ratios; (iv) minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratios; (v) a minimum debt service coverage ratio; and (vi) a minimum unencumbered assets to unsecured debt ratio. All financial covenants that include operating results, or derivations thereof, in their calculations are based on the most recent four fiscal quarters of activity. As of March 31, 2021, the Company believes it was in compliance with the financial covenants and default provisions under the unsecured debt agreements.

The Company plans on addressing its debt maturities through a combination of (i) cash flows generated from operations, (ii) working capital, (iii) capital markets transactions and (iv) its unsecured revolving line of credit.

(8) DERIVATIVES

The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest expense. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has eight interest rate swaps to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable rate debt. Changes in fair value of the derivatives that are designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded within “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and are reclassified into interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $9,728 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2021, which effectively convert one-month floating rate LIBOR to a fixed rate:

Number of Instruments	Effective Date	Aggregate Notional		Fixed Interest Rate		Maturity Date
Two	November 23, 2018	$	200,000	2.85	%	November 22, 2023
Three	August 15, 2019	$	120,000	1.68	%	July 17, 2024
Three	August 15, 2019	$	150,000	1.77	%	July 17, 2026

The Company previously had three interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $250,000 and a maturity date of January 5, 2021 that were terminated during 2020 in conjunction with the repayment of the Company’s $250,000 unsecured term loan due 2021. At termination, these interest rate swaps were in a liability position and had a fair value of $1,699. The associated other comprehensive income was amortized into expense through the original maturity date. As a result, the Company recognized $64 of interest expense, which is included within “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss), in connection with the termination of these swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

(9) EQUITY

The Company has an existing common stock repurchase program under which it may repurchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $500,000 of shares of its Class A common stock. 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 the Company’s 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. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. As of March 31, 2021, $189,105 remained available for repurchases of shares of the Company’s common stock under its common stock repurchase program.

On April 1, 2021, the Company established an at-the-market (ATM) equity program under which it may issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000, from time to time. Actual sales may depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions and the trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock. Any net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include funding acquisitions and redevelopment activities and repaying debt.

The following table summarizes the components used in the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share (EPS):

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021			2020
Numerator:
Net income attributable to common shareholders	$	4,713		$	22,357
Earnings allocated to unvested restricted shares	(52)			(109)
Net income attributable to common shareholders excluding amounts attributable to unvested restricted shares	$	4,661		$	22,248
Denominator:
Denominator for earnings per common share – basic:
Weighted average number of common shares outstanding	213,651		(a)	213,215		(b)
Effect of dilutive securities:
Stock options	—		(c)	—		(c)
RSUs	697		(d)	—		(e)
Denominator for earnings per common share – diluted:
Weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding	214,348			213,215

(a)Excludes 970 shares of unvested restricted common stock as of March 31, 2021, which equate to 879 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2021 on a weighted average basis. These shares will continue to be excluded from the computation of basic EPS until contingencies are resolved and the shares are released.

(b)Excludes 815 shares of unvested restricted common stock as of March 31, 2020, which equate to 677 shares for the three months ended March 31, 2020 on a weighted average basis. These shares were excluded from the computation of basic EPS as the contingencies remained and the shares had not been released as of the end of the reporting period.

(c)There were outstanding options to purchase 10 and 16 shares of common stock as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, at a weighted average exercise price of $15.12 and $15.87, respectively. Of these totals, outstanding options to purchase 10 and 16 shares of common stock as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, at a weighted average exercise price of $15.12 and $15.87, respectively, have been excluded from the common shares used in calculating diluted EPS as including them would be anti-dilutive.

(d)As of March 31, 2021, there were 1,166 RSUs eligible for future conversion upon completion of the performance periods (see Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements), which equate to 1,159 RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 on a weighted average basis. These contingently issuable shares are a component of calculating diluted EPS.

(e)As of March 31, 2020, there were 974 RSUs eligible for future conversion upon completion of the performance periods, which equate to 969 RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2020 on a weighted average basis. These contingently issuable shares have been excluded from the common shares used in calculating diluted EPS as including them would be anti-dilutive.

(11) PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company identified indicators of impairment at certain of its properties and took into consideration the most current information available and expectations at the time of the assessment. Such indicators included a low occupancy rate, expected sustained difficulty in leasing space and related cost of re-leasing, significant exposure to financially troubled tenants or reduced anticipated holding periods. The following table summarizes the results of these analyses as of March 31, 2021 and 2020:

	March 31, 2021		March 31, 2020
Number of properties for which indicators of impairment were identified	5		2
Less: number of properties for which an impairment charge was recorded	—		—
Less: number of properties that were held for sale as of the date the analysis was performed for which indicators of impairment were identified but no impairment charge was recorded	—		—
Remaining properties for which indicators of impairment were identified but no impairment charge was considered necessary	5		2
Weighted average percentage by which the projected undiscounted cash flows exceeded its respective carrying value for each of the remaining properties (a)	134	%	58	%

(a)Based upon the estimated holding period for each asset where an undiscounted cash flow analysis was performed.

The Company did not record any investment property impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The Company recorded the following investment property impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2020:

Property Name	Property Type	Impairment Date	Square Footage	Provision for Impairment of Investment Properties
King Philip’s Crossing (a)	Multi-tenant retail	February 13, 2020	105,900	$	346
				$	346
	Estimated fair value of impaired property as of impairment date			$	11,644

(a)The Company recorded an impairment charge on December 31, 2019 based upon the terms and conditions of an executed sales contract. This property was sold on February 13, 2020, at which time additional impairment was recognized pursuant to the terms and conditions of an executed sales contract.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company and its tenants will depend, in part, on future developments, which are highly uncertain. If the effects of COVID-19 cause economic and market conditions to continue to deteriorate, which, consequently, result in deterioration of operating conditions, and/or if the Company’s expected holding period for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in impairment charges in the future. Indications of a tenant’s inability to continue as a going concern, changes in the Company’s view or strategy relative to a tenant’s business or industry, or changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategies could change in future periods. The Company will continue to monitor circumstances and events in future periods and can provide no assurance that material impairment charges with respect to its investment properties will not occur in future periods.

(12) FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The following table presents the carrying value and estimated fair value of the Company’s financial instruments:

	March 31, 2021				December 31, 2020
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
Financial liabilities:
Mortgages payable, net	$	90,943	$	93,180	$	91,514	$	93,664
Unsecured notes payable, net	$	1,186,522	$	1,272,721	$	1,186,000	$	1,253,928
Unsecured term loans, net	$	467,727	$	468,294	$	467,559	$	464,072
Unsecured revolving line of credit	$	—	$	—	$	—	$	—
Derivative liability	$	23,611	$	23,611	$	31,666	$	31,666

The carrying value of the derivative liability is included within “Other liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these instruments are described after the table.

	Fair Value
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
March 31, 2021
Derivative liability	$	—	$	23,611	$	—	$	23,611
December 31, 2020
Derivative liability	$	—	$	31,666	$	—	$	31,666

Derivatives:  The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of each derivative. This analysis uses observable market data including forward yield curves and implied volatilities

to determine the market’s expectation of the future cash flows of the variable component. The fixed and variable components of the derivative are then discounted using calculated discount factors developed based on the LIBOR swap rate and are aggregated to arrive at a single valuation for the period. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered any applicable credit enhancements. The Company’s derivative instruments are further described in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company did not remeasure any assets to fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2021. The following table presents the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2020, aggregated by the level within the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements fall. The table includes information related to a properties remeasured to fair value as a result of impairment charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020, except for those properties sold prior to December 31, 2020. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of this asset is described after the table.

	Fair Value
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3			Total		Provision for Impairment
December 31, 2020
Investment property	$	—	$	—	$	2,500	(a)	$	2,500	$	2,279

(a)Represents the fair value of the Company’s Streets of Yorktown investment property as of September 30, 2020, the date the asset was measured at fair value. The estimated fair value of Streets of Yorktown was based upon third-party comparable sales prices, derived from property-specific information, market transactions and other industry data and are considered significant unobservable inputs.

Fair Value Disclosures

The following table presents the Company’s financial liabilities, which are measured at fair value for disclosure purposes, by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall.

The Company estimates the fair value of its Level 3 financial liabilities using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates future contractual principal and interest payments. The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgages payable, net and Level 3 unsecured notes payable, net by discounting the anticipated future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The Company estimates the fair value of its unsecured term loans, net and unsecured revolving line of credit by discounting the anticipated future cash flows at a reference rate, currently one-month LIBOR, plus an applicable credit spread currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar instruments of comparable maturities. The following rates were used in the discounted cash flow model to calculate the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:

	March 31, 2021	December 31, 2020
Mortgages payable, net – range of discount rates used	2.9% to 4.5%	3.5% to 4.2%
Unsecured notes payable, net – weighted average discount rate used	3.54%	3.84%
Unsecured term loans, net – weighted average credit spread portion of discount rate used	1.50%	1.71%
Unsecured revolving line of credit – credit spread portion of discount rate used	1.35%	1.68%

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020.

(13) COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had letters of credit outstanding totaling $291 that serve as collateral for certain capital improvements at one of its properties and reduce the available borrowings on its unsecured revolving line of credit.

The following table summarizes the Company’s active expansion and redevelopment projects as of March 31, 2021:

		Estimated Net Investment				Net Investment as of March 31, 2021
Project Name	MSA	Low		High
Circle East (a)	Baltimore	$	42,000	$	44,000	$	27,803
One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H (b)	Washington, D.C.	$	125,000	$	135,000	$	84,251
The Shoppes at Quarterfield	Baltimore	$	9,700	$	10,700	$	2,782
Southlake Town Square – Pad	Dallas	$	2,000	$	2,500	$	2,119

(a)Investment amounts are net of proceeds of $11,820 received from the sale of air rights.

(b)Investment amounts are net of expected contributions from the Company’s joint venture partner.

(14) LITIGATION

The Company is subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company entered into a settlement agreement related to litigation with a former tenant and received $6,100 in proceeds.

(15) SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, the Company paid the cash dividend for the first quarter of 2021 of $0.07 per share on its outstanding Class A common stock, which was paid on April 9, 2021 to Class A common shareholders of record at the close of business on March 26, 2021.

On April 1, 2021, the Company established an ATM equity program under which it may issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000, from time to time. Actual sales may depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions and the trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock. Any net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include funding acquisitions and redevelopment activities and repaying debt.

For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, see Part II, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in this document and in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, which you should interpret as being heightened as a result of the numerous and ongoing adverse impacts of COVID-19. Readers should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us (or to third parties making the forward-looking statements). We undertake no obligation to publicly release any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by applicable law.

The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this report.

Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic

The global outbreak of COVID-19 has caused, and could continue to cause, significant disruptions to the U.S. and global economy, including the retail sector within the U.S. Additionally, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and could continue to have, a significant adverse impact on the underlying industries of many of our tenants. As a result of the pandemic and the measures implemented to control the spread of COVID-19, our tenants and their operations, and their ability to pay rent in full, on time or at all, have been, and may continue to be, adversely impacted, including because of required temporary closures of their stores or modifications to, or restrictions placed on, their operations. While many U.S. states and cities have eased or lifted such restrictions, continued mitigation efforts or the effect of any relaxation or revocation of restrictions, including the impact on and of consumer behavior, all of which vary by geography, will continue to impact our business and such impacts may be significant and materially adverse to us. While we have been negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, including a decline in our retail portfolio occupancy of 260 basis points from 94.1% as of March 31, 2020 to 91.5% as of March 31, 2021 and a 4.0% decrease in annualized base rent (ABR) within our retail operating portfolio from $366,285 at March 31, 2020 to $351,686 at March 31, 2021, we also note recent positive trends, including continued improvement in base rent collection since the start of the pandemic, positive blended re-leasing spreads throughout the pandemic and increased leasing demand over the previous three quarters. However, due to numerous uncertainties, it is not possible to accurately predict the ultimate impact the pandemic will have on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and we continue to closely monitor the impact of the pandemic on all aspects of our business.

In response to COVID-19 and its related impact on many of our tenants, we reached agreements with tenants regarding lease concessions. The majority of the amounts addressed by the lease concessions are base rent, although certain concessions also address tenant recoveries and other charges. The majority of these concessions were agreed to and, in the majority of these circumstances, executed during the year ended December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, we have agreed in principle and/or executed additional lease concessions to defer, without an extension of the lease term, $36 of previously uncollected base rent

21

charges and to address an additional $1,877 of previously uncollected base rent charges through abatement, a combination of deferral and abatement or a concession with the extension of the lease term.

As of April 26, 2021, we have collected 96% of base rent charges related to the three months ended March 31, 2021 and have executed lease concession agreements to address an additional 1% of base rent related to the three months ended March 31, 2021. Uncollected billed base rent related to tenants who have declared bankruptcy represents an additional 0.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of April 26, 2021, we have collected 81%, 89% and 95% of billed base rent charges related to the three months ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to 78%, 88% and 94% as of February 8, 2021, respectively.

As of March 31, 2021, we have collected 93% of the base rent charges that had previously been deferred under executed lease concession agreements and were due to be paid during the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, the amounts that have been deferred to future periods under executed lease concessions, on a weighted average basis, are expected to be received over a period of approximately nine months. While we have reached agreement with the majority of tenants that have requested lease concessions as a result of COVID-19, we can provide no assurances whether certain tenants may request additional concessions in the future. As of March 31, 2021, all of our properties were open for the benefit of the communities and customers that our tenants serve and approximately 98% of our tenants (based on gross leasable area (GLA)), or 97% of our tenants (based on ABR), were open.

The following ABR information is based on ABR of leases in our retail operating portfolio that were in effect as of March 31, 2021, and is being provided to assist with analysis of the actual and potential impact of COVID-19. The information may not be indicative of collection, lease concession activity and cash-basis designation in future periods. The classification of tenant type, including the classification between essential and non-essential, is based on management’s understanding of the tenant’s operations and may not be comparative to similarly titled classifications by other companies.

We are 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. Since our inaugural investor day in 2013, we have:

•improved our retail ABR by 33% to $19.28 per square foot as of March 31, 2021 from $14.46 per square foot as of March 31, 2013;

•increased our concentration in lifestyle and mixed-use properties based on multi-tenant retail ABR by 1,700 basis points to 33% as of March 31, 2021 from 16% as of March 31, 2013;

•reduced our top 20 retail tenant concentration of total ABR by 1,040 basis points to 27.5% as of March 31, 2021 from 37.9% as of March 31, 2013; and

•reduced our indebtedness by 32% to $1,761,558 as of March 31, 2021 from $2,601,912 as of March 31, 2013.

Additionally, as of March 31, 2021, approximately 88.4% of our multi-tenant retail ABR was generated in the top 25 metropolitan statistical areas (MSAs), as determined by the United States Census Bureau and ranked based on the most recently available population estimates.

We are focused on optimizing our tenancy, asset level configurations and merchandising through accretive leasing activity and growth-producing mixed-use expansion and redevelopment projects. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, we achieved a blended re-leasing spread of positive 5.8% consisting of comparable cash leasing spreads of positive 21.3% on new leases and positive 3.0% on renewal leases. During this period, we achieved average annual contractual rent increases on comparable signed new leases of approximately 180 basis points. As of March 31, 2021, we have $16,882 of ABR related to 791 square feet of GLA pertaining to 2021 lease expirations and $5,891 of ABR related to 233 square feet of GLA pertaining to leases signed but not yet commenced.

Our active expansion and redevelopment projects consist of approximately $179,000 to $192,000 of expected investment through 2022, equivalent to approximately 6% of the net book value of our investment properties as of March 31, 2021. These predominantly mixed-use-focused projects include the redevelopment at Circle East, 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.

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.

Company Highlights — Three Months Ended March 31, 2021

Developments in Progress

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we:

•invested $15,411 in our expansion and redevelopment projects at Circle East, One Loudoun Downtown, The Shoppes at Quarterfield and Southlake Town Square. We expect the majority of our 2021 project spend will be for the One Loudoun Downtown project; and

•placed a portion of Circle East and The Shoppes at Quarterfield in service and reclassified the related costs from “Developments in progress” into “Land” and “Building and other improvements” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

The following table summarizes the carrying amount of our developments in progress as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020:

Net income attributable to common shareholders	$	4,713	$	22,357	$	(17,644)

Net income attributable to common shareholders was $4,713 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $22,357 for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The $17,644 decrease was primarily due to the following:

•a $7,694 increase in depreciation and amortization primarily due to the write-off of assets taken out of service due to the demolition of a retail outparcel at our Tacoma South investment property during the three months ended March 31, 2021. No such write-off occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2020;

•a $6,100 gain on litigation settlement recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2020 related to litigation with a former tenant. No such gain was recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021;

•a $1,953 increase in general and administrative expenses primarily due to the timing of recognition of cash bonus expense;

26

•a $1,706 increase in interest expense primarily consisting of:

•a $4,750 increase in interest on our 4.75% senior unsecured notes due 2030 (Notes Due 2030), which were issued in August 2020; and

•a $1,000 increase in interest on our additional $100,000 4.00% senior unsecured notes due 2025 (Notes Due 2025), which were issued in July 2020;

partially offset by

•a $1,960 decrease in interest on our $250,000 unsecured term loan due 2021, which was repaid in August 2020;

•a $1,030 decrease in interest on our 4.12% senior unsecured notes due 2021, the remaining $100,000 principal balance of which was repaid in September 2020; and

•a $778 decrease in interest on our unsecured revolving line of credit as it was undrawn as of March 31, 2021; and

•a $1,651 increase in operating expenses primarily due to higher snow-related expenses in 2021.

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 amortization of right-of-use lease assets and amortization of lease liabilities. 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

For the three months ended March 31, 2021, our same store portfolio consisted of 102 retail operating properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior to January 1, 2020. The number of properties in our same store portfolio increased to 102 as of March 31, 2021 from 101 as of December 31, 2020 as a result of the addition of North Benson Center, a same store investment property that was acquired on March 7, 2019.

The properties and financial results reported in “Other investment properties” primarily include the following:

•properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized during 2020 and 2021;

•the multi-family rental units at Plaza del Lago;

•Circle East, which is in active redevelopment;

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

•Carillon, a redevelopment project where we halted plans for vertical construction during 2020 in response to macroeconomic conditions due to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic;

•The Shoppes at Quarterfield, which is in active redevelopment;

27

•land held for future development;

•investment properties that were sold or classified as held for sale during 2020; and

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

Same Store NOI	$	80,366	$	82,248	$	(1,882)

Same Store NOI decreased $1,882, or 2.3%, primarily due to the following:

•a $4,367 decrease in base rent primarily as a result of (i) a $3,680 decrease from occupancy declines, (ii) a $2,609 decrease from lease concession agreements that do not meet deferral accounting treatment, partially offset by $1,230 related to the repayment of amounts previously deferred under lease concessions that did not meet deferral accounting treatment, and (iii) an increase of $645 from contractual rent changes. The aggregate $2,609 decrease from lease concession agreements was associated with billed base rent of $1,254 from the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $1,355 from prior periods; and

•a $1,569 increase in property operating expenses and real estate taxes, net of tenant recoveries, primarily due to (i) decreases in tenant recoveries as a result of a decline in occupancy and (ii) an increase in certain net recoverable property operating expenses;

partially offset by

•a $4,580 decrease in reserve for uncollectible lease income primarily due to (i) collection of amounts related to previous periods from tenants accounted for on the cash basis of accounting, (ii) the execution of lease concessions that did not meet deferral accounting treatment, however, were agreed in previous periods; as a result, the impact of

28

these concessions was included within the reserve for uncollectible lease income until executed, and (iii) a decrease in the general reserve due to collections from accrual-basis tenants, partially offset by (iv) the uncollected portion of current period charges related to cash-basis tenants and (v) the impact of lease concessions we have agreed in principle as of March 31, 2021 that are not expected to meet deferral accounting treatment, however, such agreements have not been executed as of March 31, 2021; as a result, the impact of these anticipated concessions are included within the reserve for uncollectible lease income until executed.

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). 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.

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 that 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, (i) the impact on earnings from gains or losses associated with the early extinguishment of debt or other liabilities, (ii) litigation involving the Company, including gains recognized as a result of settlement and costs to engage outside counsel related to litigation with former tenants, (iii) the impact on earnings from executive separation, and (iv) 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.

We believe that FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders, which are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures, provide an 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 flows from operating activities” in accordance with GAAP as measures of our capacity to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. Comparison of our presentation of Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in definition and application by such REITs.

The following table presents a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO attributable to common shareholders and Operating FFO attributable to common shareholders:

(b)Included within “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).

29

(c)Primarily consists of the impact on earnings from litigation involving the Company, including costs to engage outside counsel related to litigation with former tenants, which is included within “Other income (expense), net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss).

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.

Our primary expected sources and uses of liquidity are as follows:

	SOURCES		USES
▪	Operating cash flow	▪	Tenant allowances and leasing costs
▪	Cash and cash equivalents	▪	Improvements made to individual properties, certain of which are not
▪	Available borrowings under our unsecured revolving		recoverable through common area maintenance charges to tenants
	line of credit	▪	Debt repayments
▪	Proceeds from capital markets transactions	▪	Distribution payments
▪	Proceeds from asset dispositions	▪	Redevelopment, expansion and pad development activities
▪	Proceeds from the sales of air rights	▪	Acquisitions
		▪	New development
		▪	Repurchases of our common stock

Over the last several years, we have made substantial progress in reinforcing the strength of our balance sheet, as demonstrated by our financial flexibility and abundant liquidity. We believe this progress places us in a position to be able to better withstand the current unprecedented macroeconomic environment. However, there can be no assurances in this regard or that additional financing or capital will be available to us going forward on favorable terms, or at all. Additionally, as of April 26, 2021, we have collected 96% of base rent charges related to the three months ended March 31, 2021 and have executed lease concession agreements for an additional 1% of billed base rent related to the three months ended March 31, 2021. Uncollected billed base rent related to tenants who have declared bankruptcy represents an additional 0.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2021. As of April 26, 2021, we have collected 81%, 89% and 95% of billed base rent charges related to the three months ended June 30, 2020, September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2020, respectively, as compared to 78%, 88% and 94% as of February 8, 2021, respectively. If our cash collection activity deteriorates, and if we reach additional agreements with tenants to defer or abate rent, our operating cash flows and liquidity will be negatively impacted. We can make no assurances that the in-process lease amendments will ultimately be executed in the lease concession type being actively negotiated, or at all. Over the last several years as we worked to fortify our balance sheet, we funded debt maturities primarily through capital markets transactions, including public and private offerings of senior unsecured notes, as well as asset dispositions. As of March 31, 2021, we have no scheduled debt maturities and $1,811 of principal amortization due through the end of 2021, which we plan on satisfying through a combination of cash flows from operations, working capital and our unsecured revolving line of credit.

(c)Reflects $200,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt that has been swapped to a fixed rate of 2.85% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid ranging from 1.20% to 1.85% through November 22, 2023. The applicable credit spread was 1.25% as of March 31, 2021.

(d)Reflects $120,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt that has been swapped to a fixed rate of 1.68% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid ranging from 1.20% to 1.70% through July 17, 2024. The applicable credit spread was 1.20% as of March 31, 2021.

(e)Reflects $150,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt that has been swapped to a fixed rate of 1.77% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid ranging from 1.50% to 2.20% through July 17, 2026. The applicable credit spread was 1.60% as of March 31, 2021.

Mortgages Payable

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we made scheduled principal payments of $598 related to amortizing loans.

Unsecured Term Loans and Revolving Line of Credit

Unsecured Credit Facility

On April 23, 2018, we entered into our fifth amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,100,000, consisting of an $850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit that matures on April 22, 2022 and a $250,000 unsecured term loan that was scheduled to mature on January 5, 2021 and was repaid during 2020 (Unsecured Credit Facility). The unsecured revolving line of credit is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance with the unsecured credit agreement, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on our leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end, and we have the option to make an irrevocable election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of March 31, 2021, 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.

31

The following table summarizes the key terms of the unsecured revolving line of credit:

				Leverage-Based Pricing		Investment Grade Pricing
Unsecured Credit Facility	Maturity Date	Extension Option	Extension Fee	Credit Spread	Facility Fee	Credit Spread	Facility Fee
$850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit	4/22/2022	2 six-month	0.075%	1.05%–1.50%	0.15%–0.30%	0.825%–1.55%	0.125%–0.30%

The Unsecured Credit Facility has a $500,000 accordion option that allows us, at our election, to increase the total Unsecured Credit Facility up to $1,350,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the unsecured credit agreement and (ii) our ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

As of March 31, 2021, we had letters of credit outstanding totaling $291 that serve as collateral for certain capital improvements at one of our properties and reduce the available borrowings on our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Unsecured Term Loans

As of March 31, 2021, we have the following unsecured term loans: (i) a seven-year $200,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2023), (ii) a five-year $120,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2024) and (iii) a seven-year $150,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2026), each of which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid. In accordance with the respective term loan agreements, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on our leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end, and we have the option to make an irrevocable election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of March 31, 2021, making such an election would not have changed the interest rate for the Term Loan Due 2023 and would have resulted in higher interest rates for the Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026 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 term loans:

Unsecured Term Loans	Maturity Date	Leverage-Based Pricing Credit Spread	Investment Grade Pricing Credit Spread
$200,000 unsecured term loan due 2023	11/22/2023	1.20% – 1.85%	0.85% – 1.65%
$120,000 unsecured term loan due 2024	7/17/2024	1.20% – 1.70%	0.80% – 1.65%
$150,000 unsecured term loan due 2026	7/17/2026	1.50% – 2.20%	1.35% – 2.25%

The Term Loan Due 2023 has a $100,000 accordion option that allows us, at our election, to increase the Term Loan Due 2023 up to $300,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions, including the absence of an event of default as defined in the amended term loan agreement and (ii) our ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

The Term Loan Due 2024 has a $130,000 accordion option and the Term Loan Due 2026 has a $100,000 accordion option that, collectively, allow us, at our election, to increase the total of the Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026 up to $500,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions, including the absence of an event of default as defined in the term loan agreement and (ii) our ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

(b)Excludes capitalized loan fees of $(2,273), net of accumulated amortization, as of March 31, 2021. The following variable rate term loans have been swapped to fixed rate debt: (i) $200,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate of 2.85% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid through November 22, 2023; (ii) $120,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate of 1.68% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid through July 17, 2024; and (iii) $150,000 of LIBOR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate of 1.77% plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid through July 17, 2026. As of March 31, 2021, the applicable credit spread for (i) was 1.25%, for (ii) was 1.20% and for (iii) was 1.60%.

(c)Excludes discount of $(6,258) and capitalized loan fees of $(7,220), net of accumulated amortization, as of March 31, 2021.

(d)The weighted average years to maturity of consolidated indebtedness was 5.6 years as of March 31, 2021.

(e)Represents interest rate as of March 31, 2021, however, the revolving line of credit was not drawn as of March 31, 2021.

Our unsecured debt agreements, consisting of the (i) unsecured credit agreement, as amended governing the Unsecured Credit Facility, (ii) term loan agreement, as amended governing the Term Loan Due 2023, (iii) term loan agreement, as amended governing the Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026, (iv) note purchase agreement governing the 4.58% senior unsecured notes due 2024 (Notes Due 2024), (v) indenture, as supplemented, governing the Notes Due 2025, (vi) note purchase agreement governing the 4.08% senior unsecured notes due 2026 and the 4.24% senior unsecured notes due 2028 (Notes Due 2026 and 2028), (vii) note purchase agreement governing the 4.82% senior unsecured notes due 2029 (Notes Due 2029) and (viii) indenture, as supplemented, governing the Notes Due 2030, 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 interest coverage ratios; (iii) minimum fixed charge coverage ratios; (iv) minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratios; (v) a minimum debt service coverage ratio; and (vi) a minimum unencumbered assets to unsecured debt ratio. All financial covenants that include operating results, or derivations thereof, in the covenant calculations are based on the most recent four fiscal quarters of activity. As such, the impact of short-term relative adverse operating results, if any, on our financial covenants is partially mitigated by previous and/or subsequent operating results. As of March 31, 2021, we believe we were in compliance with the financial covenants and default provisions under the unsecured debt agreements.

We plan on addressing our debt maturities through a combination of (i) cash flows generated from operations, (ii) working capital, (iii) capital markets transactions and (iv) 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 Internal Revenue Code of

33

1986, as amended (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 distributions of all, or substantially all, of our taxable income to shareholders. Our future distributions will be at the discretion of our board of directors and are required to be declared 10 days prior to the record date. 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.

We declared a quarterly distribution of $0.07 per share of common stock during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

We have an existing common stock repurchase program under which we may repurchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $500,000 of shares of our Class A common stock. 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 three months ended March 31, 2021. As of March 31, 2021, $189,105 remained available for repurchases of shares of our common stock under our common stock repurchase program.

On April 1, 2021, we established an at-the-market (ATM) equity program under which we may issue and sell shares of our Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000, from time to time. Actual sales may depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions and the trading price of our Class A common stock. Any net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include funding acquisitions and redevelopment activities and repaying debt.

Capital Expenditures and Redevelopment Activity

We anticipate that obligations related to capital improvements and redevelopments, including expansions and pad developments, in 2021 can be met with (i) cash flows generated from operations, (ii) working capital, (iii) capital markets transactions and (iv) our unsecured revolving line of credit.

As of March 31, 2021, we have active expansion and redevelopment projects at Circle East, One Loudoun Downtown, The Shoppes at Quarterfield and a vacant pad development at Southlake Town Square and we have invested a total of approximately $117,000 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 partner at One Loudoun Downtown. These projects are at various stages of completion, and based on our current plans and estimates, we anticipate that it will require approximately $62,000 to $75,000 of additional investment from us to complete these projects.

We capitalized $716 and $626 of internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in capital upgrades and tenant improvements during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. We also capitalized $57 and $60 of internal leasing incentives, all of which were incremental to signed leases, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

In addition, we capitalized $1,811 and $1,316 of indirect project costs, which includes, among other costs, $409 and $372 of internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in the redevelopment projects and $1,292 and $785 of interest, related to expansion and redevelopment projects during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Dispositions

We did not sell any properties during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The following table highlights our property disposition during 2020:

	Number of Properties Sold	Square Footage	Consideration		Aggregate Proceeds, Net (a)		Debt Extinguished
2020 Disposition	1	105,900	$	13,900	$	12,695	$	—

(a)Represents total consideration net of transaction costs.

In addition to the transaction presented in the preceding table, during the year ended December 31, 2020, we received proceeds of $26 from a condemnation award.

Acquisitions

We did not acquire any properties during the three months ended March 31, 2021. The following table highlights our asset acquisition during 2020:

	Number of Assets Acquired	Square Footage	Acquisition Price		Mortgage Debt
2020 Acquisition (a)	1	154,700	$	55,000	$	—

(a)2020 acquisition is the fee interest in our Fullerton Metrocenter multi-tenant retail operating property. In connection with this acquisition, we also assumed the lessor position in a ground lease with a shadow anchor. The total number of properties in our portfolio was not affected by this transaction.

Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, at beginning of period	45,329		14,447
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, at end of period	$	41,517	$	774,364

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, (iii) gain on sales of investment properties, and (iv) amortization of stock-based compensation, loan fees and debt discount, net. Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $1,089 primarily due to the following:

•a $7,235 increase in comparative changes in accounts receivable, net due to an increase in cash collections of charges billed to tenants, including collection of charges from prior periods, and the collection of amounts previously deferred under lease concession agreements as a result of COVID-19;

•an $1,862 decrease in cash bonuses paid;

•a $1,440 decrease in cash paid for leasing fees and inducements; and

•ordinary course fluctuations in working capital accounts;

partially offset by

•a $9,638 increase in cash paid for interest; and

•a $2,367 decrease in NOI, consisting of a decrease in Same Store NOI and NOI from properties that were sold or held for sale in 2020 and other properties not included in our same store portfolio.

35

See “Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic” in Item 2. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for a discussion of the impact of COVID-19 on our cash flows.

We believe that cash flows from operations, working capital and our unsecured revolving line of credit will provide sufficient liquidity to sustain future operations; however, we cannot provide any such assurances.

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 during the three months ended March 31, 2021 increased $45,278 due to the following:

•a $54,970 decrease in cash paid to purchase investment properties; and

•a $4,347 decrease capital expenditures and tenant improvements;

partially offset by

•an $11,343 decrease in proceeds from the sales of investment properties; and

•a $2,696 increase in investment in developments in progress.

In 2021, 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 from financing activities primarily consist of proceeds from our unsecured revolving line of credit and the issuance of debt instruments, partially offset by (i) repayments of our unsecured revolving line of credit, unsecured debt instruments and mortgages payable, (ii) distribution payments, (iii) payment of loan fees and deposits, (iv) debt prepayment costs, (v) principal payments on mortgages payable, and (vi) shares repurchased through our common stock repurchase program. Net cash flows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 decreased $810,096 primarily due to the following:

•an $831,704 change in the activity on our unsecured revolving line of credit from net borrowings of $831,704 during the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to net borrowings of $0 during the three months ended March 31, 2021;

partially offset by

•a $22,532 decrease in distributions paid.

We plan to continue to address our debt maturities through a combination of (i) cash flows from operations, (ii) working capital, (iii) capital markets transactions and (iv) our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Contractual Obligations

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, except as otherwise disclosed herein, there were no material changes outside the normal course of business to the contractual obligations identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including those relating to the collectibility of lease income and accounts receivable and impairment of long-lived assets. For the three months ended March 31, 2021, there were no significant changes to these policies.

36

Impact of Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements regarding recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Subsequent Events

Subsequent to March 31, 2021, we paid the cash dividend for the first quarter of 2021 of $0.07 per share on our outstanding Class A common stock, which was paid on April 9, 2021 to Class A common shareholders of record at the close of business on March 26, 2021.

On April 1, 2021, we established an ATM equity program under which we may issue and sell shares of our Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000, from time to time. Actual sales may depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions and the trading price of our Class A common stock. Any net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include funding acquisitions and redevelopment activities and repaying debt.

37

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We may be exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our long-term debt that is used to maintain liquidity and fund our operations. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower our overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates, and in some cases variable rates with the ability to convert to fixed rates.

With regard to variable rate financing, we assess interest rate cash flow risk by continually identifying and monitoring changes in interest rate exposures that may adversely impact expected future cash flows and by evaluating hedging opportunities. We maintain risk management control systems to monitor interest rate cash flow risk attributable to both our outstanding or forecasted debt obligations as well as our potential offsetting hedge positions. The risk management control systems involve the use of analytical techniques, including cash flow sensitivity analysis, to estimate the expected impact of changes in interest rates on our future cash flows.

As of March 31, 2021, we had $470,000 of variable rate debt based on LIBOR that has been swapped to fixed rate debt through interest rate swaps. Our interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2021 are summarized in the following table:

	Notional Amount		Maturity Date	Fair Value of Derivative Liability
Term Loan Due 2023	$	200,000	November 22, 2023	$	13,030
Term Loan Due 2024	120,000		July 17, 2024	4,586
Term Loan Due 2026	150,000		July 17, 2026	5,995
	$	470,000		$	23,611

For a discussion concerning the scheduled debt maturities and principal amortization of our indebtedness as of March 31, 2021 for the remainder of 2021, each of the next four years and thereafter and the weighted average interest rates by year to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes, refer to Note 7 – Debt in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and Part I, “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources — Debt Maturities” contained herein.

A decrease of 1% in market interest rates would result in a hypothetical increase in our derivative liability of approximately $17,527.

The combined carrying amount of our debt is approximately $89,003 lower than the fair value as of March 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, we had $470,000 of variable rate debt that has been swapped to fixed rate debt and access to a variable rate revolving line of credit with an interest rate of 1.21% based on LIBOR; however, the revolving line of credit was not drawn as of March 31, 2021. An increase in the variable interest rate on the revolving line of credit constitutes a market risk. If interest rates increase by 1%, there would be no change to interest expense as the revolving line of credit is undrawn as of March 31, 2021.

We may use additional derivative financial instruments to hedge exposures to changes in interest rates. To the extent we do, we are exposed to market and credit risk. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. When the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty owes us, which creates credit risk for us. When the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we owe the counterparty and, therefore, we generally are not exposed to the credit risk of the counterparty. We minimize credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with highly rated counterparties or with the same party providing the financing, with the right of offset.

When LIBOR is discontinued, the interest rate for certain of our debt instruments, including our unsecured credit facility revolving line of credit, Term Loan Due 2023, Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026, and interest rate swap agreements that are indexed to LIBOR will be based on a replacement rate or an alternate base rate as specified in the applicable documentation governing such debt or swaps or as otherwise agreed upon. Such an event would not affect our ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, but the replacement rate or alternate base rate could be higher or more volatile than LIBOR prior to its discontinuance. We understand that LIBOR is expected to remain available through June 30, 2023 and that banking regulators are encouraging banks to discontinue new LIBOR debt issuances by December 31, 2021.

38

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

We have established disclosure controls and procedures to ensure that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is made known to the officers who certify our financial reports and to the members of senior management and the board of directors.

Based on management’s evaluation as of March 31, 2021, our Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in our reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Executive Vice President, Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) during the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

39

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are subject, from time to time, to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the resolution of such matters cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe, based on currently available information, that the final outcome of such matters will not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Except to the extent updated below or to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates to such factors (including, without limitation, the matters discussed in Part I. “Item 2 – Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), there have been no material changes to our risk factors during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to those risk factors presented in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Organization and Basis of Presentation

ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Retail Properties of America, Inc. (the Company) was formed on March 5, 2003 and its primary purpose is to own and operate high quality, strategically located open-air shopping centers, including properties with a mixed-use component. As of March 31, 2021, the Company owned 102 retail operating properties in the United States.

The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Company believes it qualifies for taxation as a REIT and, as such, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary that has jointly elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate tax rates. The income tax expense incurred by the TRS did not have a material impact on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.

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 condensed 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 (i) the reserve for uncollectible lease income, (ii) provision for impairment, including estimates of holding periods, capitalization rates and discount rates (where applicable), and (iii) initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions and initial recognition of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

All dollar amounts and share amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto, are stated in thousands with the exception of per share, per square foot and per unit amounts.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Wholly owned subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies, limited partnerships and statutory trusts.

The Company’s property ownership as of March 31, 2021 is summarized below:

	Property Count
Retail operating properties	102
Expansion and redevelopment projects:
Circle East	1
One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H (a)	—
Carillon	1
The Shoppes at Quarterfield	1
Total number of properties	105

(a)The operating portion of this property is included within the property count for retail operating properties.

(b)The weighted average amortization period for acquired lease intangible liabilities is 17 years for the acquisition completed during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

The acquisition was funded using a combination of available cash on hand, proceeds from dispositions and proceeds from the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit. The acquisition completed during 2020 was considered an asset acquisition and, as such, transaction costs were capitalized upon closing.

In addition, the Company capitalized $716 and $626 of internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in capital upgrades and tenant improvements during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company also capitalized $57 and $60 of internal leasing incentives, all of which were incremental to signed leases, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Developments in Progress

The carrying amount of the Company’s developments in progress are as follows:

Property Name	MSA	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020

One Loudoun Uptown	Washington, D.C.	25,450		25,450
Total developments in progress		$	197,453	$	188,556

In response to macroeconomic conditions related to the novel coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, the Company halted plans for vertical construction at its Carillon redevelopment during 2020 and materially reduced the planned scope and spend for the project. As of March 31, 2021, the Company continues to evaluate scenarios in anticipation of restarting future development.

The Company capitalized $1,811 and $1,316 of indirect project costs related to redevelopment projects during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, including, among other costs, $409 and $372 of internal salaries and related benefits of personnel directly involved in the redevelopment projects and $1,292 and $785 of interest, respectively.

Variable Interest Entities

As of March 31, 2021, the Company had one joint venture related to the development, ownership and operation of the multi-family rental portion of the expansion project at One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H, of which joint venture the Company owns 90%.

The joint venture is considered a VIE primarily because the Company’s joint venture partner does not have substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary as it has a controlling financial interest in the joint venture. As such, the Company has consolidated the joint venture and presented the joint venture partner’s interest as noncontrolling interests.

As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company recorded the following related to the One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H consolidated joint venture:

	One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H
	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Net investment properties	$	84,278	$	74,314
Other assets, net	$	423	$	354
Other liabilities	$	4,067	$	3,890
Noncontrolling interests	$	4,507	$	4,507

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has funded $3,556 of the partner’s development costs related to One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H through a loan provided by the Company to the joint venture. The loan, secured by the joint venture project, is required to be repaid subsequent to the completion of construction and stabilization of the project and is eliminated upon consolidation. Under terms defined in the joint venture agreement, after construction completion and stabilization of the development project, the Company has the ability to call, and the joint venture partner has the ability to put to the Company, subject to certain conditions, the joint venture partner’s interest in the joint venture at fair value. There was no income from the joint venture project during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 and, as such, no income was attributed to the noncontrolling interests.

Lease income related to the Company’s operating leases is comprised of the following:

	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Lease income related to fixed and variable lease payments
Base rent (a) (b)	$	86,074	$	90,433
Percentage and specialty rent (c)	524		874
Tenant recoveries (b) (c)	26,028		25,741

Amortization of above and below market lease intangibles and lease inducements	802		557
Lease income	$	119,380	$	118,695

(a)Base rent primarily consists of fixed lease payments; however, it also includes the net impact of variable lease payments related to lease concessions granted as relief due to COVID-19 in accordance with the Company’s policy elections related to the accounting treatment of such lease concessions. The impact of these lease concessions includes an increase of $1,230 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in base rent related to the repayment of amounts previously deferred under lease concessions that did not meet deferral accounting treatment; as a result, lease income was reduced for the deferral in previous periods, however recognized as variable lease income upon receipt of payment, more than offset by a decrease of $2,609 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, in base rent related to lease concession agreements executed during the period that did not meet deferral accounting treatment and for which payment has not been received. The aggregate $2,609 decrease from lease concession agreements was associated with billed base rent of $1,254 from the three months ended March 31, 2021 and $1,355 from prior periods.

(b)Base rent and tenant recoveries are presented gross of any uncollected amounts related to cash-basis tenants. Such uncollected amounts are reflected within “Uncollectible lease income, net.”

(c)Represents lease income related to variable lease payments.

(d)Represents lease income related to fixed lease payments. Straight-line rental income, net includes changes in the reserve for straight-line receivables related to tenants accounted for on a cash basis of $(2,610) and $(1,035) for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(e)Uncollectible lease income, net is comprised of (i) collection of amounts related to previous periods from tenants accounted for on the cash basis of accounting, (ii) the impact of executed lease concessions that did not meet deferral accounting treatment, however, were agreed in previous periods; as a result, the impact of these anticipated concessions was included within the reserve for uncollectible lease income until executed, and (iii) a decrease in the general reserve due to collections from accrual-basis tenants, partially offset by (iv) the uncollected portion of current period charges related to cash-basis tenants, and (v) the impact of lease concessions we have agreed in principle of $454 and $0 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, that are not expected to meet deferral

accounting treatment, however, such agreements have not been executed as of March 31, 2021; as a result, the impact of these anticipated concessions are included within the reserve for uncollectible lease income until executed.

In response to COVID-19 and its related impact on many of the Company’s tenants, the Company reached agreements with tenants regarding lease concessions. The majority of the amounts addressed by the lease concessions are base rent, although certain concessions also address tenant recoveries and other charges. The majority of these concessions were agreed to and, in the majority of these circumstances, executed during the year ended December 31, 2020. As of March 31, 2021, the Company has agreed in principle and/or executed additional lease concessions to defer, without an extension of the lease term, $36 of previously uncollected base rent charges and to address an additional $1,877 of previously uncollected base rent charges through abatement, a combination of deferral and abatement or a concession with the extension of the lease term.

As of March 31, 2021, $7,063 of executed lease concessions to defer rental payment without an extension of the lease term, net of related reserves, remain outstanding within “Accounts receivable, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. Further, as of March 31, 2021, the amounts that have been deferred to future periods under executed lease concessions, on a weighted average basis, will be received over a period of approximately nine months.

(d)Excludes capitalized loan fees, which are included within “Other assets, net” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The revolving line of credit has two six-month extension options that the Company can exercise, at its election, subject to (i) customary representations and warranties, including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the unsecured credit agreement and (ii) payment of an extension fee equal to 0.075% of the revolving line of credit capacity.

Unsecured Credit Facility

On April 23, 2018, the Company entered into its fifth amended and restated credit agreement with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for an unsecured credit facility aggregating $1,100,000, consisting of an $850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit that matures on April 22, 2022 and a $250,000 unsecured term loan that was scheduled to mature on January 5, 2021 and was repaid during 2020 (Unsecured Credit Facility). The unsecured revolving line of credit is priced on a leverage grid at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread. In accordance with the unsecured credit agreement, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end, and the Company has the option to make an irrevocable election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of March 31, 2021, making such an election would have resulted in a higher interest rate and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

The following table summarizes the key terms of the unsecured revolving line of credit:

				Leverage-Based Pricing		Investment Grade Pricing
Unsecured Credit Facility	Maturity Date	Extension Option	Extension Fee	Credit Spread	Facility Fee	Credit Spread	Facility Fee
$850,000 unsecured revolving line of credit	4/22/2022	2 six-month	0.075%	1.05%–1.50%	0.15%–0.30%	0.825%–1.55%	0.125%–0.30%

The Unsecured Credit Facility has a $500,000 accordion option that allows the Company, at its election, to increase the total Unsecured Credit Facility up to $1,350,000, subject to (i) customary fees and conditions including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the unsecured credit agreement and (ii) the Company’s ability to obtain additional lender commitments.

Unsecured Term Loans

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has the following unsecured term loans: (i) a seven-year $200,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2023), (ii) a five-year $120,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2024) and (iii) a seven-year $150,000 unsecured term loan (Term Loan Due 2026), each of which bears interest at a rate of LIBOR plus a credit spread based on a leverage grid. In accordance with the respective term loan agreements, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end, and the Company has the option to make an irrevocable election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid. As of March 31, 2021, making such an election would not have changed the interest rate for the Term Loan Due 2023 and would have resulted in higher interest rates for the Term Loan Due 2024 and Term Loan Due 2026 and, as such, the Company has not made the election to convert to an investment grade pricing grid.

The following table summarizes the key terms of the unsecured term loans:

Unsecured Term Loans	Maturity Date	Leverage-Based Pricing Credit Spread				Investment Grade Pricing Credit Spread

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives

DERIVATIVES

The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest expense. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

As of March 31, 2021, the Company has eight interest rate swaps to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable rate debt. Changes in fair value of the derivatives that are designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded within “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” and are reclassified into interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. Over the next 12 months, the Company estimates that an additional $9,728 will be reclassified as an increase to interest expense.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2021, which effectively convert one-month floating rate LIBOR to a fixed rate:

Number of Instruments	Effective Date	Aggregate Notional		Fixed Interest Rate		Maturity Date
Two	November 23, 2018	$	200,000	2.85	%	November 22, 2023
Three	August 15, 2019	$	120,000	1.68	%	July 17, 2024
Three	August 15, 2019	$	150,000	1.77	%	July 17, 2026

The Company previously had three interest rate swaps with notional amounts totaling $250,000 and a maturity date of January 5, 2021 that were terminated during 2020 in conjunction with the repayment of the Company’s $250,000 unsecured term loan due 2021. At termination, these interest rate swaps were in a liability position and had a fair value of $1,699. The associated other comprehensive income was amortized into expense through the original maturity date. As a result, the Company recognized $64 of interest expense, which is included within “Interest expense” in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations and other comprehensive income (loss), in connection with the termination of these swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The following table summarizes the Company’s interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

	Number of Instruments		Notional
Interest Rate Derivatives	March 31, 2021	December 31, 2020	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020

EQUITY

The Company has an existing common stock repurchase program under which it may repurchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $500,000 of shares of its Class A common stock. 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 the Company’s 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. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. As of March 31, 2021, $189,105 remained available for repurchases of shares of the Company’s common stock under its common stock repurchase program.

On April 1, 2021, the Company established an at-the-market (ATM) equity program under which it may issue and sell shares of its Class A common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $250,000, from time to time. Actual sales may depend on a variety of factors, including, among others, market conditions and the trading price of the Company’s Class A common stock. Any net proceeds are expected to be used for general corporate purposes, which may include funding acquisitions and redevelopment activities and repaying debt.

Provision for Impairment of Investment Properties

PROVISION FOR IMPAIRMENT OF INVESTMENT PROPERTIES

As of March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Company identified indicators of impairment at certain of its properties and took into consideration the most current information available and expectations at the time of the assessment. Such indicators included a low occupancy rate, expected sustained difficulty in leasing space and related cost of re-leasing, significant exposure to financially troubled tenants or reduced anticipated holding periods. The following table summarizes the results of these analyses as of March 31, 2021 and 2020:

	March 31, 2021		March 31, 2020
Number of properties for which indicators of impairment were identified	5		2
Less: number of properties for which an impairment charge was recorded	—		—
Less: number of properties that were held for sale as of the date the analysis was performed for which indicators of impairment were identified but no impairment charge was recorded	—		—
Remaining properties for which indicators of impairment were identified but no impairment charge was considered necessary	5		2
Weighted average percentage by which the projected undiscounted cash flows exceeded its respective carrying value for each of the remaining properties (a)	134	%	58	%

(a)Based upon the estimated holding period for each asset where an undiscounted cash flow analysis was performed.

The Company did not record any investment property impairment charges during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The Company recorded the following investment property impairment charge during the three months ended March 31, 2020:

Property Name	Property Type	Impairment Date	Square Footage	Provision for Impairment of Investment Properties
King Philip’s Crossing (a)	Multi-tenant retail	February 13, 2020	105,900	$	346
				$	346
	Estimated fair value of impaired property as of impairment date			$	11,644

(a)The Company recorded an impairment charge on December 31, 2019 based upon the terms and conditions of an executed sales contract. This property was sold on February 13, 2020, at which time additional impairment was recognized pursuant to the terms and conditions of an executed sales contract.

The extent to which COVID-19 impacts the Company and its tenants will depend, in part, on future developments, which are highly uncertain. If the effects of COVID-19 cause economic and market conditions to continue to deteriorate, which, consequently, result in deterioration of operating conditions, and/or if the Company’s expected holding period for assets change, subsequent tests for impairment could result in impairment charges in the future. Indications of a tenant’s inability to continue as a going concern, changes in the Company’s view or strategy relative to a tenant’s business or industry, or changes in the Company’s long-term hold strategies could change in future periods. The Company will continue to monitor circumstances and events in future periods and can provide no assurance that material impairment charges with respect to its investment properties will not occur in future periods.

The carrying value of the derivative liability is included within “Other liabilities” in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Recurring Fair Value Measurements

The following table presents the Company’s financial instruments, which are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by the level in the fair value hierarchy within which those measurements fall. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of these instruments are described after the table.

	Fair Value
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
March 31, 2021
Derivative liability	$	—	$	23,611	$	—	$	23,611
December 31, 2020
Derivative liability	$	—	$	31,666	$	—	$	31,666

Derivatives:  The fair value of the derivative liability is determined using a discounted cash flow analysis on the expected future cash flows of each derivative. This analysis uses observable market data including forward yield curves and implied volatilities

to determine the market’s expectation of the future cash flows of the variable component. The fixed and variable components of the derivative are then discounted using calculated discount factors developed based on the LIBOR swap rate and are aggregated to arrive at a single valuation for the period. The Company also incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered any applicable credit enhancements. The Company’s derivative instruments are further described in Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

The Company did not remeasure any assets to fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of March 31, 2021. The following table presents the Company’s assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of December 31, 2020, aggregated by the level within the fair value hierarchy in which those measurements fall. The table includes information related to a properties remeasured to fair value as a result of impairment charges recorded during the year ended December 31, 2020, except for those properties sold prior to December 31, 2020. Methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of this asset is described after the table.

The Company estimates the fair value of its Level 3 financial liabilities using a discounted cash flow model that incorporates future contractual principal and interest payments. The Company estimates the fair value of its mortgages payable, net and Level 3 unsecured notes payable, net by discounting the anticipated future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities. The Company estimates the fair value of its unsecured term loans, net and unsecured revolving line of credit by discounting the anticipated future cash flows at a reference rate, currently one-month LIBOR, plus an applicable credit spread currently offered to the Company by its lenders for similar instruments of comparable maturities. The following rates were used in the discounted cash flow model to calculate the fair value of the Company’s Level 3 financial liabilities:

	March 31, 2021	December 31, 2020
Mortgages payable, net – range of discount rates used	2.9% to 4.5%	3.5% to 4.2%
Unsecured notes payable, net – weighted average discount rate used	3.54%	3.84%
Unsecured term loans, net – weighted average credit spread portion of discount rate used	1.50%	1.71%
Unsecured revolving line of credit – credit spread portion of discount rate used	1.35%	1.68%

Income taxes	The Company has elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (REIT) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the Code). The Company believes it qualifies for taxation as a REIT and, as such, the Company generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on taxable income that is distributed to its shareholders. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. The Company has one wholly owned subsidiary that has jointly elected to be treated as a taxable REIT subsidiary (TRS) and is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate tax rates. The income tax expense incurred by the TRS did not have a material impact on the Company’s accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements.
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 condensed 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 (i) the reserve for uncollectible lease income, (ii) provision for impairment, including estimates of holding periods, capitalization rates and discount rates (where applicable), and (iii) initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions and initial recognition of right-of-use lease assets and lease liabilities. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Consolidation	The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, as well as all wholly owned subsidiaries and consolidated variable interest entities (VIEs). All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Wholly owned subsidiaries generally consist of limited liability companies, limited partnerships and statutory trusts.
