EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2021 of Brixmor Property Group Inc. and Brixmor Operating Partnership LP. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Parent Company” or “BPG” mean Brixmor Property Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and its consolidated subsidiaries. Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “the Company,” “Brixmor,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.
The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of BPG Subsidiary LLC (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole owner of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2021, the Parent Company beneficially owned, through its direct and indirect interest in BPG Sub and the General Partner, 100% of the outstanding partnership common units (the “OP Units”) in the Operating Partnership.
The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report:

Enhances investors’ understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
Eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation; and
Creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. Because the Operating Partnership is managed by the Parent Company, and the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company’s executive officers are the Operating Partnership’s executive officers, and although, as a partnership, the Operating Partnership does not have a board of directors, we refer to the Parent Company’s board of directors as the Operating Partnership’s board of directors.
We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its indirect interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself other than issuing public equity from time to time. The Parent Company does not incur any material indebtedness. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units, the Operating Partnership generates all capital required by the Company’s business. Sources of this capital include the Operating Partnership’s operations and its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness.
Equity, capital, and non-controlling interests are the primary areas of difference between the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital currently includes OP Units owned by the Parent Company through BPG Sub and the General Partner and has in the past and may in the future include OP Units owned by third parties. OP Units owned by third parties, if any, are accounted for in capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and outside of equity in non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements.
The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have material assets other than its indirect investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while equity, capital and non-controlling interests may differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are materially the same on their respective financial statements.
In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements (but combined footnotes), separate controls and procedures sections, separate certification of periodic report under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and separate certification pursuant to 18 U.S.C. Section 1350 as adopted pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

Forward-Looking Statements

This report may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. These statements include, but are not limited to, statements related to our expectations regarding the performance of our business, our financial results, our liquidity and capital resources and other non-historical statements. You can identify these forward-looking statements by the use of words such as “outlook,” “believes,” “expects,” “potential,” “continues,” “may,” “will,” “should,” “seeks,” “projects,” “predicts,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “anticipates,” or the negative version of these words or other comparable words. Such forward-looking statements are subject to various risks and uncertainties. Accordingly, there are or will be important factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements. We believe these factors include but are not limited to those described under the sections entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 and in this report, as such factors may be updated from time to time in our periodic filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), which are accessible on the SEC’s website at http://www.sec.gov.

Currently, one of the most significant factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in these statements is the adverse effect of the current pandemic of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”) on the financial condition, operating results and cash flows of the Company, the Company’s tenants, the real estate market, the financial markets and the global economy. The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted us and our tenants significantly, and the extent to which it continues to impact us and our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the speed and effectiveness of vaccine and treatment developments and their deployment, public adoption rates of COVID-19 vaccines and their effectiveness against emerging variants of COVID-19, such as the Delta variant, the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, and potential sustained changes in consumer behavior, among others.

Additional factors that could cause actual outcomes or results to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements include (1) changes in national, regional and local economies, due to global events such as international trade disputes, a foreign debt crisis, foreign currency volatility, or domestic issues, such as government policies and regulations, tariffs, energy prices, market dynamics, rising interest rates, inflation and unemployment or limited growth in consumer income; (2) local real estate market conditions, including an oversupply of space in, or a reduction in demand for, properties similar to those in our Portfolio; (3) competition from other available properties and e-commerce, and the attractiveness of properties in our Portfolio to our tenants; (4) ongoing disruption and/or consolidation in the retail sector, the financial stability of our tenants and the overall financial condition of large retailing companies, including their ability to pay rent and expense reimbursements; (5) in the case of percentage rents, the sales volume of our tenants; (6) increases in property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, which are relatively inflexible and generally do not decrease if revenue or occupancy decrease; (7) increases in the costs to repair, renovate and re-lease space; (8) earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, damage from rising sea levels due to climate change, other natural disasters, epidemics and/or pandemics, including COVID-19, civil unrest, terrorist acts or acts of war, any of which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses; (9) changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning, the environment and taxes; and (10) legal costs incurred in connection with the SEC actions discussed under the heading “Legal Matters” in Note 15 – Commitments and Contingencies to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements in this report. These factors should not be construed as exhaustive and should be read in conjunction with the other cautionary statements that are included in this report and in our other periodic filings. Moreover, investors are cautioned to interpret many of the risks identified under the section entitled “Risk Factors” in our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 as being heightened as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this report, and we expressly disclaim any obligation or undertaking to publicly update or review any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise, except to the extent otherwise required by law.

BRIXMOR PROPERTY GROUP INC. AND BRIXMOR OPERATING PARTNERSHIP LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

1. Nature of Business and Financial Statement Presentation
Description of Business
Brixmor Property Group Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Parent Company”) is an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations and owns substantially all of its assets. The Parent Company owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of BPG Subsidiary LLC (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole member of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, disposition and redevelopment of retail shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other substantial assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (collectively, the “Company” or “Brixmor”) believes it owns and operates one of the largest open-air retail portfolios by gross leasable area (“GLA”) in the United States (“U.S.”), comprised primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers. As of June 30, 2021, the Company’s portfolio was comprised of 389 shopping centers (the “Portfolio”) totaling approximately 68 million square feet of GLA. The Company’s high-quality national Portfolio is primarily located within established trade areas in the top 50 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the U.S., and its shopping centers are primarily anchored by non-discretionary and value-oriented retailers, as well as consumer-oriented service providers.

The Company does not distinguish its principal business or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company has a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with 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 notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented have been included. The operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 11, 2021.

Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, each of their wholly owned subsidiaries and all other entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Income Taxes
Brixmor Property Group Inc. has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. must meet several organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, to its stockholders on an annual basis. Management intends to satisfy these requirements and maintain Brixmor Property Group Inc.’s REIT status.

As a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. Brixmor Property Group Inc. conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership which is organized as a limited partnership and treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal tax purposes. Therefore, U.S.
11


federal income taxes do not materially impact the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

If Brixmor Property Group Inc. fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even if Brixmor Property Group Inc. qualifies for taxation as a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income as well as other income items, as applicable.

Brixmor Property Group Inc. has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”), and Brixmor Property Group Inc. may in the future elect to treat newly formed and/or other existing subsidiaries as TRSs. A TRS may participate in non-real estate related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and is subject to certain limitations under the Code. A TRS is subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate rates. Income taxes related to Brixmor Property Group Inc.’s TRSs do not materially impact the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

The Company has considered the tax positions taken for the open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income taxes related to uncertain tax positions is required in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020. Open tax years generally range from 2017 through 2020 but may vary by jurisdiction and issue. The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense, which is included in Other on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In October 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815). ASU 2018-16 was subsequently amended by ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848) and ASU 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2018-16 amends guidance to permit the use of the Overnight Index Swap (“OIS”) rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 815, Derivatives and Hedging. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and a prospective transition approach was required. The Company determined that the adoption of ASU 2018-16 did not have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 contain practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they either are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material effect on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

5. Impairments
Management periodically assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated hold period and general market conditions, including the impact of the novel coronavirus (“COVID-19”), that the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets (including any related intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. If management determines that the carrying value of a real estate asset is impaired, a loss is recognized to reflect the estimated fair value.

See Note 3 for additional information regarding impairment charges taken in connection with the Company’s dispositions. See Note 8 for additional information regarding the fair value of operating properties that have been impaired.

6. Financial Instruments – Derivatives and Hedging
The Company’s use of derivative instruments is intended to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and such instruments are not utilized for speculative purposes. In certain situations, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements that result in the receipt and/or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchanging the underlying notional amount. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to partially hedge the cash flows associated with variable LIBOR based debt. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and year ended December 31, 2020, the Company did not enter into any new interest rate swap agreements. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company paid $1.1 million to terminate interest rate swaps with a notional amount of $250.0 million.

Detail on the Company’s interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows:
Number of InstrumentsNotional Amount
June 30, 2021December 31, 2020June 30, 2021December 31, 2020
Interest Rate Swaps57$550,000 $800,000 
The Company has elected to present its interest rate derivatives on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis as interest rate swap assets and interest rate swap liabilities. Detail on the fair value of the Company’s interest rate derivatives on a gross and net basis as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is as follows:
Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
Interest rate swaps classified as:June 30, 2021December 31, 2020
Gross derivative assets$ $ 
Gross derivative liabilities(19,516)(28,225)
Net derivative liabilities$(19,516)$(28,225)
The gross derivative assets are included in Other assets and the gross derivative liabilities are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. All of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements for the periods presented were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate derivatives is determined using market standard valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each
16


derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. These inputs are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income (loss) and is reclassified into earnings as interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

The effective portion of the Company’s interest rate swaps that was recognized on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows:
Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships

Change in unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, net$2,832 $(835)$8,498 $(24,713)
The Company estimates that $7.9 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense over the next twelve months. No gain or loss was recognized related to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Company’s cash flow hedges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.

Non-Designated (Mark-to-Market) Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company did not have any non-designated hedges.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain provisions whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its indebtedness and the indebtedness has been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. If the Company were to breach any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under such agreements at their termination value, including accrued interest.

7. Debt Obligations

(4)Effective January 2, 2019, the Company has in place four interest rate swap agreements that convert the variable interest rate on the Company’s $300.0 million term loan agreement, as amended April 29, 2020 (the “$300 Million Term Loan”), to a fixed, combined interest rate of 2.61% (plus a spread of 125 basis points) through July 26, 2024.

2021 Debt Transactions
In March 2021, the Operating Partnership issued $350.0 million aggregate principal amount of 2.250% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”) at 99.817% of par, the net proceeds of which were used to repay all outstanding indebtedness under the Company’s $350.0 million term loan agreement, as amended April 29, 2020 (the “$350 Million Term Loan”). The 2028 Notes bear interest at a rate of 2.250% per annum, payable semi-annually on April 1 and October 1 of each year, commencing October 1, 2021. The 2028 Notes will mature on April 1, 2028. The Operating Partnership may redeem the 2028 Notes prior to maturity, at its option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at the applicable redemption price specified in the Indenture with respect to the 2028 Notes. If the 2028 Notes are redeemed on or after February 1, 2028 (two months prior to the maturity date), the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2028 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. The 2028 Notes are the Operating Partnership’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, as a result of the repayment of the $350 Million Term Loan, the Company recognized a $1.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt. Loss on extinguishment of debt includes $1.2 million of accelerated unamortized debt issuance costs.

8. Fair Value Disclosures
All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management’s judgment, reasonably approximate their fair values, except those instruments listed below:

Total debt obligations, net$5,167,038 $5,591,616 $5,167,330 $5,664,162 
As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy is included in GAAP that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Based on the above criteria, the Company has determined that the valuations of its debt obligations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.

Recurring Fair Value
The Company’s marketable securities and interest rate derivatives are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuations of the Company’s marketable securities are based primarily on publicly traded market values in active markets and are classified within Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 6 for fair value information regarding the Company’s interest rate derivatives.

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

(1)As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, marketable securities included less than $0.1 million and $0.2 million of net unrealized gains, respectively. As of June 30, 2021, the contractual maturities of the Company’s marketable securities are within the next five years.

Non-Recurring Fair Value
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated hold period and general market conditions, including the impact of COVID-19, that the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets (including any related intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. Fair value is determined by offers from third-party buyers, market comparable data, third party appraisals or discounted cash flow analyses. The cash flows utilized in such analyses are comprised of unobservable inputs which include forecasted rental revenue and expenses based upon market conditions and future expectations. The capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in such analyses are based upon unobservable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. Based on these inputs, the Company has determined that the valuations of these properties are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The table includes information related to properties that were remeasured to fair value as a result of impairment testing during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and during the year ended December 31, 2020, excluding the properties sold prior to June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively:

9. Revenue Recognition
The Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, disposition and redevelopment of retail shopping centers. Revenue is primarily generated through lease agreements and classified as Rental income on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These agreements include retail shopping center unit leases; ground leases; ancillary leases or agreements, such as agreements with tenants for cellular towers, ATMs, and short-term or seasonal retail (e.g. Halloween or Christmas-related retail); and reciprocal easement agreements. The agreements range in term from less than one year to 25 or more years, with certain agreements containing renewal options. These renewal options range from as little as one month to five or more years. The Company’s retail shopping center leases generally require tenants to pay their proportionate share of property operating expenses such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of the Company’s properties.

20


Additionally, variable lease payments associated with percentage rents are recognized once the required sales data is made available. The Company recognized $1.5 million and $1.1 million of income based on percentage rents for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The Company recognized $3.8 million and $3.0 million of income based on percentage rents for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These amounts are included in Rental income on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

COVID-19
The global outbreak of COVID-19 and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had a significant adverse impact on the Company’s business, the Company’s tenants, the real estate market, the financial markets and the global economy. The effects of COVID-19, including related government restrictions, border closings, quarantines, “shelter-in-place” orders and “social distancing” guidelines, forced many of the Company’s tenants to temporarily close stores, reduce hours or significantly limit service, and resulted in a dramatic increase in national unemployment and a significant economic contraction in 2020. Certain tenants experiencing economic difficulties during the COVID-19 pandemic have sought rent relief, which has been provided on a case-by-case basis primarily in the form of rent deferrals and, in more limited cases, in the form of rent abatements.

Under ASC 842, changes to the amount or timing of lease payments subsequent to the original lease execution are generally accounted for as lease modifications. Due to the number of lease contracts that would require analysis to determine, on a lease by lease basis, whether such a concession is required to be accounted for as a lease modification, the FASB issued a Staff Q&A on accounting for leases during the COVID-19 pandemic, focused on the application of lease guidance in ASC 842. The Q&A states that it would be acceptable to make a policy election regarding rent concessions resulting from COVID-19, which would not require entities to account for the rent concessions as lease modifications or to determine whether rent concessions were contractually obligated in each original lease. Rent abatements would be recognized as reductions to revenue during the period in which they were granted. Rent deferrals would result in an increase to “Receivables, net” during the deferral period with no impact on rental revenue recognition. Any rent concession that is either unrelated to COVID-19 or substantially increases the total consideration due under the lease does not qualify for consideration under the Q&A. The Company has evaluated the impact of the Q&A and has made the following policy elections:

The Company accounts for COVID-19 rent deferrals and abatements that significantly increase the consideration due under the lease as lease modifications in accordance with ASC 842. As a result, rental revenue recognition is reduced by the amount of the deferral or abatement in the period it was granted and straight-line rental income recognition is updated over the remaining lease term.
The Company does not account for COVID-19 rent deferrals that do not significantly increase the consideration due under the lease as lease modifications. As a result, rental revenue recognition does not change, and Receivables, net increases for the deferred amount.
The Company does not account for COVID-19 rent abatements that do not significantly increase the consideration due under the lease as lease modifications. As a result, rental revenue recognition is reduced by the amount of the abatement in the period it was granted and straight-line rental income recognition does not change over the remaining lease term.

10. Leases
The Company periodically enters into agreements in which it is the lessee, including ground leases for shopping centers that it operates and office leases for administrative space. The agreements range in term from less than one year to 50 or more years, with certain agreements containing renewal options for up to an additional 100 years. Upon lease execution, the Company recognizes a lease liability and a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset based on the present value of future lease payments over the noncancellable lease term. As of June 30, 2021 the Company is not including any prospective renewal or termination options in its lease liabilities or ROU assets, as the exercise of such options is not reasonably certain. Certain agreements require the Company to pay its proportionate share of property operating expenses such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of the properties. These payments are not included in the calculation of the lease liability and are presented as variable lease costs.

11. Equity and Capital
ATM Program
In January 2020, the Company established an at-the-market equity offering program (the “ATM Program”) through which the Company may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $400.0 million of its common stock through sales agents over a three-year period. The ATM Program also provides that the Company may enter into forward contracts for shares of its common stock with forward sellers and forward purchasers. The ATM Program is
23


scheduled to expire on January 9, 2023, unless earlier terminated or extended by the Company, sales agents, forward sellers and forward purchasers. As of June 30, 2021, no shares have been issued under the ATM Program, and as a result, $400.0 million of common stock remained available for issuance.

Share Repurchase Program
In January 2020, the Company established a new share repurchase program (the “Program”) for up to $400.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The Program is scheduled to expire on January 9, 2023, unless suspended or extended by the Board of Directors. The Program replaced the Company’s prior share repurchase program, which expired on December 5, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company repurchased 1.7 million shares of common stock under the Program at an average price per share of $15.14 for a total of $25.0 million, excluding commissions. The Company incurred total commissions of less than $0.1 million in conjunction with the Program for the six months ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2021, the Program had $375.0 million of available repurchase capacity.

Common Stock
In connection with the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s equity-based compensation plan, the Company withholds shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company withheld 0.3 million and 0.2 million shares of its common stock, respectively.

Dividends and Distributions
During the six months ended June 30, 2021, the Company declared common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $0.430 per share/unit. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, the Company declared common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $0.285 per share/unit. As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had declared but unpaid common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $66.3 million and $66.0 million, respectively. These amounts are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

12. Stock Based Compensation
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for a maximum of 15.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and RSUs, OP Units, performance awards and other stock-based awards.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company granted RSUs to certain employees. The RSUs are divided into multiple tranches, which are all subject to service-based vesting conditions. Certain tranches are also subject to performance-based or market-based criteria, which contain a threshold, target, above target, and maximum number of units which can be earned. The number of units actually earned for each tranche is determined based on performance during a specified performance period. Tranches that only have a service-based component can only earn a target number of units. The aggregate number of RSUs granted, assuming that the target level of performance is achieved, was 1.0 million and 0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, respectively, with vesting periods ranging from one to five years. For the performance-based and service-based RSUs granted, fair value is based on the Company’s grant date stock price. For the market-based RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and the year ended December 31, 2020, the Company calculated the grant date fair values per unit using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the probability of satisfying the market performance hurdles over the remainder of the performance period based on the Company’s historical common stock performance relative to the other companies within the FTSE NAREIT Equity Shopping Centers Index as well as the following significant assumptions: (i) volatility of 50.0% to 64.0% and 20.0% to 23.0%, respectively; (ii) a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.11% to 0.18% and 1.20% to 1.30%, respectively; and (iii) the Company’s weighted average common stock dividend yield of 4.1% to 5.8% and 5.9% to 6.0%, respectively.

During the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $4.5 million and $2.2 million of equity compensation expense, respectively, of which $0.3 million and $0.2 million was capitalized, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company recognized $7.3 million and $5.0 million of equity compensation expense, respectively, of which $0.5 million and $0.4 million was capitalized, respectively.
24


These amounts are included in General and administrative expense on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2021, the Company had $27.3 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock compensation, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.3 years.
25


13.     Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders, including any participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Certain restricted shares issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such stockholders have rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends. Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. Unvested RSUs are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the Company’s common stock.

The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

14. Earnings per Unit
Basic earnings per unit is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Operating Partnership’s common unitholders, including any participating securities, by the weighted average number of partnership common units outstanding for the period. Certain restricted units issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such unitholders have rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends. Fully-diluted earnings per unit reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common units were exercised or converted into common units. Unvested RSUs are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the Operating Partnership’s common units.

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
Except as described below, the Company is not presently involved in any material litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business. However, the Company is involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which the Company believes, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account existing reserves, will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows.

As previously disclosed, on August 1, 2019, the Company finalized a settlement with the SEC with respect to matters initially disclosed on February 8, 2016 relating to a review conducted by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors into certain accounting matters and the related conduct of certain former Company executives. Also as previously disclosed, the U.S. Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York has indicated that it is no longer pursuing actions relating to these matters with respect to the Company’s former employees. In July 2021, the SEC dismissed its pending civil action against two former employees relating to these matters and indicated that it would not seek further sanctions against two other former employees who had previously consented to judgments. The Company believes that no additional governmental proceedings relating to these matters will be brought against the Company.

Environmental Matters
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be or become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released on or in the Company’s property or disposed of by the Company or its tenants, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). The Company does not believe that any resulting liability from such matters will have a material impact on the Company’s financial condition, operating results or cash flows. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not incur any material governmental fines resulting from environmental matters.

16. Related-Party Transactions
In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company enters into agreements with its affiliates in relation to the leasing and management of its real estate assets.

As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, there were no material receivables from or payables to related parties. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, the Company did not engage in any material related-party transactions.

17. Subsequent Events
In preparing the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring after June 30, 2021 for recognition and/or disclosure purposes. Based on this evaluation, there were no subsequent events from June 30, 2021 through the date the financial statements were issued.

BPG owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of BPG Subsidiary LLC (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole member of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” and “us” mean BPG and the Operating Partnership, collectively. We believe we own and operate one of the largest open-air retail portfolios by gross leasable area (“GLA”) in the United States (“U.S.”), comprised primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers. As of June 30, 2021, our portfolio was comprised of 389 shopping centers (the “Portfolio”) totaling approximately 68 million square feet of GLA. Our high-quality national Portfolio is primarily located within established trade areas in the top 50 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the U.S., and our shopping centers are primarily anchored by non-discretionary and value-oriented retailers, as well as consumer-oriented service providers. As of June 30, 2021, our three largest tenants by annualized base rent (“ABR”) were The TJX Companies, Inc. (“TJX”), The Kroger Co. (“Kroger”), and Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. BPG has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the U.S. federal income tax laws, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2011, has maintained such requirements through our taxable year ended December 31, 2020, and intends to satisfy such requirements for subsequent taxable years.

Our primary objective is to maximize total returns to our stockholders through consistent, sustainable growth in cash flow. Our key strategies to achieve this objective include proactively managing our Portfolio to drive internal growth, pursuing value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities and prudently executing on acquisition and disposition activity, while also maintaining a flexible capital structure positioned for growth. In addition, as we execute on our key strategies, we do so guided by a commitment to operate in a socially responsible manner that allows us to realize our purpose of owning and managing properties that are the centers of the communities we serve.

We believe the following set of competitive advantages positions us to successfully execute on our key strategies:

Expansive Retailer Relationships – We believe that the scale of our asset base and our nationwide footprint represent competitive advantages in supporting the growth objectives of the nation’s largest and most successful retailers. We believe that we are one of the largest landlords by GLA to TJX and Kroger, as well as a key landlord to most major grocers and retail category leaders. We believe that our strong relationships with leading retailers afford us unique insight into their strategies and priority access to their expansion plans.

Fully-Integrated Operating Platform – We manage a fully-integrated operating platform, leveraging our national scope and demonstrating our commitment to operating with a strong regional and local presence. We provide our tenants with dedicated service through both our national accounts leasing team based in New York and our network of four regional offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and San Diego, as well as our 11 leasing and property management satellite offices throughout the country. We believe that this structure enables us to obtain critical national market intelligence, while also benefitting from the regional and local expertise of our leasing and operations teams.

Experienced Management – Senior members of our management team are seasoned real estate operators with extensive public company leadership experience. Our management team has deep industry knowledge and well-established relationships with retailers, brokers and vendors through many years of operational and transactional experience, as well as significant capital markets capabilities and expertise in executing value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities.

Factors That May Influence Our Future Results
We derive our rental income primarily from base rent and expense reimbursements paid by tenants to us under existing leases at each of our properties. Expense reimbursements primarily consist of payments made by tenants to us for their proportionate share of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties.

Our ability to maintain or increase rental income is primarily dependent on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates, renew expiring leases and/or lease available space. Increases in our property operating expenses, including repairs and maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, security, ground rent related to properties for which we are the lessee, utilities, insurance, real estate taxes and various other costs, to the extent they are not reimbursed by tenants or offset by increases in rental income, will adversely impact our overall performance.

See Forward-Looking Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the factors that could affect our rental income and/or property operating expenses. As discussed below, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a significant impact on our business.

Impacts on Business from COVID-19
The global outbreak of the novel strain of coronavirus (“COVID-19”) and the public health measures that have been undertaken in response have had a significant adverse impact on our business, our tenants, the real estate market, the financial markets and the global economy. The effects of COVID-19, including related government restrictions, border closings, quarantines, “shelter-in-place” orders and “social distancing” guidelines, forced many of our tenants to temporarily close stores, reduce hours or significantly limit service, and resulted in a dramatic increase in national unemployment and a significant economic contraction in 2020. Since we cannot estimate when the COVID-19 pandemic and the responsive measures to combat it will end and to what extent certain restrictions, though currently lifted, may later be reinstated, we cannot estimate the ultimate operational and financial impact of COVID-19 on our business. The degree to which COVID-19 impacts our operating results in the future will depend on the factors discussed in Forward-Looking Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in the “Risk Factors” section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Approximately 70% of our shopping centers are anchored by grocery stores. Grocery stores and other essential tenants remained open throughout the pandemic and many have experienced stable or increased sales, which has helped and we believe will continue to help to partially mitigate the adverse impact of COVID-19 on our business. As of July 27, 2021, we have collected 93% of second, third and fourth quarter 2020 base rent, 95% of first quarter 2021 base rent, and 97% of second quarter 2021 base rent. Certain tenants experiencing economic difficulties during the pandemic have sought rent relief from us, which has been provided on a case-by-case basis primarily in the form of rent deferrals and, in more limited cases, in the form of rent abatements. Rent deferrals have significantly increased our Receivables, net. We are in ongoing discussions with our tenants regarding rent that has not yet been collected or addressed through executed deferral or abatement agreements.

Leasing Highlights
As of June 30, 2021, billed and leased occupancy were 88.1% and 91.1%, respectively, as compared to 88.9% and 92.1%, respectively, as of June 30, 2020.

Rental income
The increase in rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $39.5 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2020, was due to a $41.9 million increase for assets owned for the full period, partially offset by a $2.4 million decrease in rental income due to net disposition activity. The increase for assets owned for the full period was due to (i) a $29.3 million decrease in revenues deemed uncollectible; (ii) a $9.8 million increase in straight-line rental income, net; (iii) a $2.3 million increase in lease termination fees; (iv) a $1.1 million increase in expense reimbursements; (v) a $1.0 million increase in ancillary and other rental income; (vi) a $0.4 million increase in percentage rents; and (vii) a $0.2 million increase in accretion of below-market leases, net of amortization of above-market leases and tenant inducements; partially offset by (viii) a $2.2 million decrease in base rent. The decrease in revenues deemed uncollectible was primarily attributable to the impact of COVID-19 reserves in 2020 and recoveries of previously reserved amounts in 2021. The increase in straight-line rental income, net was primarily attributable to the impact of COVID-19 reserves in 2020. The $2.2 million decrease in base rent for the remaining portfolio was primarily due to COVID-19 rent deferrals accounted for as lease modifications and rent abatements and a decrease in weighted average billed occupancy, partially offset by contractual rent increases and positive rent spreads for new and renewal leases and option exercises of 8.3% during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 7.2% during the year ended December 31, 2020.

Other revenues
The decrease in other revenues for the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $0.1 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2020, was primarily due to a decrease in energy-efficient lighting rebate income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that our cash flows from the sources listed below will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months and beyond for all anticipated uses, including all scheduled payments on our outstanding debt, current and anticipated tenant and other capital improvements, stockholder distributions to maintain our qualification as a REIT and other obligations associated with conducting our business.

Our primary expected sources and uses of capital are as follows:
Sources
cash and cash equivalent balances;
operating cash flow;
available borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility;
dispositions;
issuance of long-term debt; and
issuance of equity securities.

Uses
maintenance capital expenditures;
leasing capital expenditures;
debt repayments;
dividend/distribution payments
value-enhancing reinvestment capital expenditures;
acquisitions; and
repurchases of equity securities.

We believe our capital structure provides us with the financial flexibility and capacity to fund our current capital needs as well as future growth opportunities. We have access to multiple forms of capital, including secured property level debt, unsecured corporate level debt, preferred equity, and common equity, which will allow us to efficiently execute on our strategic and operational objectives. We currently have investment grade credit ratings from all three major credit rating agencies. As of June 30, 2021, we had $1.2 billion of available liquidity under the Revolving Facility and $405.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. We intend to continue to enhance our financial and operational flexibility through the additional extension of the duration of our debt.

As of June 30, 2021, our contractually scheduled debt maturities (excluding extension options) and interest payment obligations (excluding debt premiums and discounts and deferred financing costs) amount to $250.0 million and $188.6 million, respectively, over the next 12 months and $4.9 billion and $889.5 million, respectively, thereafter. As of June 30, 2021, the weighted average time to maturity is 5.2 years with respect to our scheduled debt maturities. These amounts do not assume the issuance of new debt upon maturity of existing debt. Scheduled interest payments included in these amounts for variable rate loans are presented using rates (including the impact of interest rate swaps) as of June 30, 2021. See Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact interest payments.

As previously discussed under the header “Impacts on Business from COVID-19”, the COVID-19 pandemic has had, and may continue to have, an adverse impact on our liquidity and capital resources. Future decreases in cash flow from operations resulting from rent deferrals or abatements, tenant defaults, or decreases in rental rates or occupancy, would decrease the cash available for the capital uses described above, including the payment of dividends. Since we do not know the ultimate severity, scope or duration of the pandemic and the response thereto, and thus cannot predict the impact it will ultimately have on our tenants and on the debt and equity capital markets, we cannot estimate the impact it will have on our liquidity and capital resources.

In order to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains, to our
37


stockholders on an annual basis. We intend to continue to satisfy this requirement and maintain our REIT status. Cash dividends paid to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 were $129.1 million and $170.3 million, respectively. In response to COVID-19, our Board of Directors suspended the dividend in the second and third quarters of 2020. In the fourth quarter of 2020, our Board of Directors resumed the dividend at a rate of $0.215 per common share. In April 2021, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.215 per common share for the second quarter of 2021. The dividend was paid on July 15, 2021 to shareholders of record on July 6, 2021. In July 2021, our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.215 per common share for the third quarter of 2021. The dividend is payable on October 15, 2021 to shareholders of record on October 5, 2021. Our Board of Directors will evaluate the dividend on a quarterly basis, taking into account a variety of relevant factors, including REIT taxable income.

Our cash flow activities are summarized as follows (dollars in thousands):

Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash for BPG were $405.4 million and $320.0 million as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash for the Operating Partnership were $395.4 million and $310.0 million as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of cash inflows from tenant rental payments and expense reimbursements and cash outflows for property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our net cash provided by operating activities increased $95.3 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase from net working capital; (ii) an increase in same property net operating income; and (iii) an increase in lease termination fees; partially offset by (iv) a decrease in net operating income due to net disposition activity; (v) an increase in cash outflows for general and administrative expense; and (vi) an increase in cash outflows for interest expense.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and magnitude of acquisition and disposition activity and improvements to and investments in our shopping centers, including capital expenditures associated with our value-enhancing reinvestment efforts.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our net cash used in investing activities decreased $15.0 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to (i) an increase of $53.1 million in net proceeds from sales of real estate assets; (ii) a decrease of $22.9 million in improvements to and investments in real estate assets; and (iii) a $3.7 million decrease in purchases of marketable securities, net of proceeds from sales; partially offset by (iv) an increase of $64.7 million in acquisitions of real estate assets.

Improvements to and investments in real estate assets
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we expended $135.3 million and $158.1 million, respectively, on improvements to and investments in real estate assets. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, insurance proceeds of $2.8 million and $3.6 million, respectively, were received and included in improvements to and investments in real estate assets.

Maintenance capital expenditures represent costs to fund major replacements and betterments to our properties. Leasing related capital expenditures represent tenant specific costs incurred to lease space, including tenant improvements and tenant allowances. In addition, we evaluate our Portfolio on an ongoing basis to identify value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities. Such initiatives are tenant driven and focus on upgrading our centers with strong, best-in-class retailers and enhancing the overall merchandise mix and tenant quality of our Portfolio. As of June 30, 2021, we had 56 in-process anchor space repositioning, redevelopment and outparcel development projects with an aggregate anticipated cost of $432.9 million, of which $258.0 million had been incurred as of June 30, 2021. In addition, we have identified a pipeline of future reinvestment projects aggregating approximately $1.0 billion of potential capital investment which we expect to execute over the next several years. We expect to fund these projects with cash and cash equivalents, proceeds from sales of real estate assets, and/or available liquidity under the Revolving Facility.

Acquisitions of and proceeds from sales of real estate assets
We continue to evaluate the market for acquisition opportunities and we may acquire shopping centers when we believe strategic opportunities exist, particularly where we can further concentrate our Portfolio in attractive retail submarkets and optimize the quality and long-term growth rate of our asset base. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we acquired two shopping centers, one outparcel and two land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of $66.7 million, including transaction costs and closing credits. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we acquired one land parcel for $2.0 million, including transaction costs.

We may also dispose of properties when we believe value has been maximized, where there is downside risk, or where we have limited ability or desire to build critical mass in a particular submarket. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we disposed of six shopping centers and nine partial shopping centers for aggregate net proceeds of $99.7 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2021, we received aggregate net proceeds of less than $0.1 million from previously disposed assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we disposed of five shopping centers and two partial shopping centers for aggregate net proceeds of $45.7 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, we received aggregate net proceeds of $0.9 million from previously disposed assets.

Financing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and magnitude of issuances and repurchases of debt and equity securities, as well as principal payments associated with our outstanding indebtedness and distributions made to our common stockholders.

During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our net cash provided by (used in) financing activities decreased $373.5 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2020. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a $448.5 million decrease in debt borrowings, net of repayments; partially offset by (ii) a $41.3 million decrease in distributions to our common stockholders; (iii) a $23.1 million decrease in repurchases of common stock; and (iv) a $10.6 million decrease in deferred financing and debt extinguishment costs. The decrease in debt borrowings is primarily related to amounts drawn on the Revolving Facility in the corresponding period in 2020 in order to bolster liquidity in response to COVID-19.

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
We present the non-GAAP performance measures set forth below. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) or other GAAP financial measures, as an indicator of financial performance and are not alternatives to, or more meaningful than, cash flow from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP performance measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental financial results to those calculated in accordance with
39


GAAP. Our computation of these non-GAAP performance measures may differ in certain respects from the methodology utilized by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by such other REITs. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from these non-GAAP performance measures are relevant to understanding and addressing financial performance.

Funds From Operations
NAREIT FFO (defined hereafter) is a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure utilized to evaluate the operating and financial performance of real estate companies. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines funds from operations (“FFO”) as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that NAREIT FFO is useful to investors in measuring our operating and financial performance because the definition excludes items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating and financial performance, such as depreciation and amortization related to real estate, and items which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating and financial performance more difficult, such as gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets.

Our reconciliation of net income to NAREIT FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
 Three Months Ended June 30,Six Months Ended June 30,

Net income$90,428 $9,044 $142,799 $68,825

Weighted average diluted shares outstanding298,277 296,773 298,222 297,485 

Same Property Net Operating Income
Same property net operating income (“NOI”) is a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. Same property NOI is calculated (using properties owned for the entirety of both periods and excluding properties under development and completed new development properties which have been stabilized for less than one year) as total property revenues (base rent, expense reimbursements, adjustments for revenues deemed uncollectible, ancillary and other rental income, percentage rents and other revenues) less direct property operating expenses (operating costs and real estate taxes). Same property NOI excludes (i) corporate level expenses (including general and administrative), (ii) lease termination fees, (iii) straight-line rental income, net, (iv) accretion of below-market leases, net of amortization of above-market leases and tenant inducements, (v) straight-line ground rent expense, and (vi) income (expense) associated with our captive insurance company.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that same property NOI is useful to investors in measuring the operating performance of our property portfolio because the definition excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to, or are not indicative of, the operating performance of our properties, such as depreciation and amortization and corporate level expenses (including general and administrative), and because it eliminates disparities in NOI due to the acquisition or disposition of properties or the stabilization of completed new development properties during the period presented and therefore provides a more consistent metric for comparing the operating performance of our real estate between periods.

Inflation
Prior to 2021, inflation had been low and had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, inflation has increased in 2021 and may continue to be elevated in the future. Most of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation, including contractual rent escalations and requirements for tenants to pay their proportionate share of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in property-level costs resulting from inflation. In addition, we believe that many of our existing rental rates are below current market rates for comparable space and that upon renewal or re-leasing, such rates may be increased to be consistent with, or closer to, current market rates. With respect to our outstanding indebtedness, we periodically evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, and may continue to enter into interest rate protection agreements which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate loans.
