The Company has contributed certain properties to unconsolidated entities in exchange for equity interests in those unconsolidated entities. The contribution of property to unconsolidated entities is accounted for as a sale of real estate and the Company recognizes the gain or loss on the sale (the “Gain (Loss)”) based upon the transaction price attributed to the property at the closing of the unconsolidated entities transaction (the “Contribution Value”). The Gain or (Loss) is included in gain on sale of real estate on the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

In certain circumstances, the Contribution Value is subject to revaluation as defined in the respective unconsolidated entity agreements, which may result in an adjustment to the gain or loss recognized. If the Contribution Value is subject to revaluation, the Company initially recognizes the gain or loss at the value that is the expected amount within the range of possible outcomes and will re-evaluate the expected amount on a quarterly basis through the final determination date.

Upon revaluation, the primary inputs in determining the Contribution Value will be updated for actual results and may result in a cash settlement or capital account adjustment between the unconsolidated entity partners, as well as an adjustment to the initial gain or loss.

Each reporting period, the Company re-analyzes the primary inputs that determine the Contribution Value and the gain or loss for those unconsolidated entities subject to a revaluation. The following table summarizes the properties contributed to the Company’s unconsolidated entities (in millions):

Equity in loss of unconsolidated entities on the condensed consolidated statements of operations includes basis difference adjustments.

The Company shares in the profits and losses of these unconsolidated entities generally in accordance with the Company’s respective equity interests. In some instances, the Company may recognize profits and losses related to investment in an unconsolidated entity that differ from the Company’s equity interest in the unconsolidated entity. This may arise from impairments that the Company recognizes related to its investment that differ from the impairments the unconsolidated entity recognizes with respect to its assets, differences between the Company’s basis in assets it has transferred to the unconsolidated entity and the unconsolidated entity’s basis in those assets or other items. In conjunction with the Plan of Sale, the Company recognized a change in plan to reduce the holding periods of all its investments in unconsolidated entities, which triggered the need for a quarterly impairment analysis pursuant to ASC 323, Equity Method and Joint Ventures. The Company utilizes appraisals and third-party prepared fair value estimates as well as negotiated offers to sell the investments for the impairment analysis. No other than temporary impairment was recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company exercised the put rights that it has on one of its Unconsolidated Properties. The Company has exercised its put rights on seven Unconsolidated Properties since the beginning of 2022. The Company did not close on the sale of any exercised put rights during the three months ended March 31, 2023. Through December 31, 2022, the Company closed on the sale of three of the previously exercised put rights. The Company’s partners assess impairment on its underlying assets pursuant to ASC 360, Property, Plant and Equipment, and recorded impairment on unconsolidated properties of $70.8 million and $61.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
