Federal Realty Investment Trust

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

June 30, 2020

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Federal Realty Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, management, and redevelopment of retail and mixed-use properties. Our properties are located primarily in densely populated and affluent communities in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States, California, and South Florida. As of June 30, 2020, we owned or had a majority interest in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties which are operated as 104 predominantly retail real estate projects.

We operate in a manner intended to enable us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. A REIT that distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and meets certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, federal income taxes on our taxable income have been and are generally expected to be immaterial. We are obligated to pay state taxes, generally consisting of franchise or gross receipts taxes in certain states. Such state taxes also have not been material.

Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. While we currently expect the impact to our properties is temporary in nature, the extent of the future effects of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and growth prospects is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted with any certainty.

NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust, its corporate subsidiaries, and all entities in which the Trust has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The equity interests of other investors are reflected as noncontrolling interests or redeemable noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. We account for our interests in joint ventures, which we do not control, using the equity method of accounting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as “GAAP,” requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Our leases with our tenants are classified as operating leases. When collection of substantially all lease payments during the lease term is considered probable, the lease qualifies for accrual accounting. Lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis from the point in time when the tenant controls the space through the term of the related lease. Variable lease payments relating to percentage rent are recognized at the end of the lease year or earlier if we have determined the required sales level is achieved. Real estate tax and other cost reimbursements are recognized on an accrual basis over the periods in which the related

8

expenditures are incurred. For a tenant to terminate its lease agreement prior to the end of the agreed term, we may require that they pay a fee to cancel the lease agreement. Lease termination fees are generally recognized on the termination date if the tenant has relinquished control of the space. When a lease is terminated early but the tenant continues to control the space under a modified lease agreement, the lease termination fee is generally recognized evenly over the remaining term of the modified lease agreement. Lease concessions (unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic) are evaluated to determine whether the concession represents a modification of the original lease contract. Modifications generally result in a reassessment of the lease term and lease classification, and remeasurement of lease payments received. Remeasured lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the modified lease contract.

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued interpretive guidance relating to the accounting for lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that allows entities to treat the concession as if it was a part of the existing contract instead of applying lease modification accounting. This guidance is only applicable to the COVID-19 pandemic related lease concessions that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. We have elected this option relating to qualifying rent deferral and rent abatement agreements. For qualifying lease modifications with rent deferrals, this results in no change to our revenue recognition but an increase in the lease receivable balance until the deferred rent has been repaid. For qualifying lease modifications that include rent abatement concessions, this results in a direct reduction of rental income in the current period. As of June 30, 2020, we have entered into rent deferral agreements related to the COVID-19 pandemic representing approximately $16 million of rent otherwise owed during the months of April through June 2020, and are currently in negotiations with other tenants. 

When collection of substantially all lease payments during the lease term is not considered probable, total lease revenue is limited to the lesser of revenue recognized under accrual accounting or cash received. Determining the probability of collection of substantially all lease payments during a lease term requires significant judgment. This determination is impacted by numerous factors including our assessment of the tenant’s credit worthiness, economic conditions, tenant sales productivity in that location, historical experience with the tenant and tenants operating in the same industry, future prospects for the tenant and the industry in which it operates, and the length of the lease term. If leases currently classified as probable are subsequently reclassified as not probable, any outstanding lease receivables (including straight-line rent receivables) would be written-off with a corresponding decrease in rental income.

The actions taken by federal, state and local governments to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, initially by ordering closures of non-essential businesses and ordering residents to generally stay at home, and subsequent phased re-openings have resulted in many of our tenants temporarily or even permanently closing their businesses, and for some, it had impacted their ability to pay rent. As a result, we revised our collectibility assumptions for many of our tenants most significantly impacted by COVID-19. Accordingly, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized collectibility related adjustments of $55.2 million. This includes changes in our collectibility assessments from probable to not probable, disputed rents, and any rent abatements, as well as the write-off of $9.4 million of straight-line rent receivables primarily related to tenants changed to a cash basis of revenue recognition in the quarter ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the revenue from approximately 32% of our tenants (based on total commercial leases) is being recognized on a cash basis. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our straight-line rent receivables balance was $100.7 million and $100.3 million, respectively, and is included in "accounts and notes receivable, net" on our consolidated balance sheet.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Standard	Description	Effect on the financial statements or significant matters
Adopted on January 1, 2020:
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and related updates: ASU 2016-13, June   2016, Financial   Instruments - Credit   Losses (Topic 326) ASU 2018-19,   November 2018,   Codification improvements to   Topic 326,   Financial   Instruments - Credit   Losses	This ASU changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, requiring the use of an "expected credit loss" model and adding more disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-19 clarifies that impairment of of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases.	Upon adoption of this standard, we recorded expected losses of $0.5 million in opening accumulated dividends in excess of net income. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded additional expected losses of $0.4 million, which are included in rental expenses.
ASU 2018-15, August 2018, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software: Customers Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract	This ASU requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (i.e. hosting arrangement) that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. Capitalized implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement. Entities will expense costs during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages as they are incurred. The guidance can be applied prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively in accordance with ASC 250-10-45-5 through ASC 250-10-45-10.	The adoption of this standard does not have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Issued in 2020:
ASU 2020-04, March 2020, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)	This ASU provides companies with optional practical expedients to ease the accounting burden for contract modifications associated with transitioning away from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates that are expected to be discontinued as part of reference rate reform. For hedges, the guidance generally allows changes to the reference rate and other critical terms without having to de-designate the hedging relationship, as well as allows the shortcut method to continue to be applied. For contract modifications, changes in the reference rate or other critical terms will be treated as a continuation of the prior contract. This guidance can be applied immediately, however, is generally only available through December 31, 2022.	We are still evaluating the impact of reference rate reform and whether we will apply any of these practical expedients.

NOTE 3—REAL ESTATE

On January 10, 2020, we acquired a 49,000 square foot shopping center in Fairfax, Virginia for $22.3 million. This property is adjacent to, and will be operated as part of our Fairfax Junction property. This purchase price was paid with a combination of cash and the issuance of 163,322 downREIT operating partnership units. Approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively.

On February 12, 2020, we acquired two buildings totaling 12,000 square feet in Hoboken, New Jersey for $14.3 million, including the assumption of $8.9 million of mortgage debt. This acquisition is in addition to the 37 buildings previously acquired, and was completed through the joint venture that was formed in 2019, for which we own a 90% interest. Less than $0.1 million and approximately $3.3 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively.

On April 21, 2020, we sold a building in Pasadena, California for $16.1 million, which resulted in a gain of $11.7 million.

NOTE 4—DEBT

In connection with the two buildings we acquired in Hoboken, New Jersey on February 12, 2020, we assumed two mortgage loans with a net face amount of $8.9 million and a fair value of $9.0 million. The mortgage loans bear interest at 4.00% and mature on July 27, 2027.

In March 2020, in order to strengthen our financial position and balance sheet, to maximize our liquidity, and to provide maximum financial flexibility to continue our business initiatives as the effects of COVID-19 continue to evolve, we borrowed $990.0 million under our revolving credit facility, representing a draw-down of almost the entirety of our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. This amount was subsequently repaid when we entered into a $400.0 million unsecured term loan on May 6, 2020 and issued $700.0 million of fixed rate unsecured senior notes on May 11, 2020.

11

The unsecured term loan matures on May 6, 2021, plus one twelve month extension at our option, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 135 basis points based on our current credit rating. Our net proceeds from this transaction after underwriting fees and other costs were $398.7 million.

The $700.0 million of unsecured senior notes issued in May 2020 comprise a $300.0 million reopening of our 3.95% senior notes maturing on January 15, 2024 and a $400.0 million issuance of 3.50% senior notes maturing on June 1, 2030. The 3.95% senior notes were offered at 103.257% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 2.944%, and have the same terms and are of the same series as the $300.0 million senior notes issued on December 9, 2013. The 3.50% senior notes were offered at 98.911% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.630%. Our net proceeds from these transactions after the net issuance premium, underwriting fees, and other costs were $700.1 million.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility was $990.0 million, and the weighted average interest rate, before amortization of debt fees, was 1.4% and 1.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the weighted average borrowings outstanding were $413.2 million and $278.5 million, respectively, with no outstanding balance at June 30, 2020. Our revolving credit facility, term loan, and certain notes require us to comply with various financial covenants, including the maintenance of minimum shareholders' equity and debt coverage ratios and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all default related debt covenants.

NOTE 5—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Except as disclosed below, the carrying amount of our financial instruments approximates their fair value. The fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable and senior notes and debentures is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Quoted market prices (Level 1) were used to estimate the fair value of our marketable senior notes and debentures and discounted cash flow analysis (Level 2) is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable and senior notes and debentures is as follows:

	June 30, 2020				December 31, 2019
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Mortgages and notes payable	$	953,511	$	947,030	$	549,460	$	562,049
Senior notes and debentures	$	3,508,461	$	3,754,061	$	2,807,134	$	3,001,216

As of June 30, 2020, we have two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $56.5 million that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The interest rate swap agreements fix the interest rate on $56.5 million of mortgage payables at 3.67% through December 15, 2029. The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are based on the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and interest rate related observable inputs. The fair value of our swaps at June 30, 2020 was a liability of $6.1 million and is included in "other liabilities and deferred credits" on our consolidated balance sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the value of our interest rate swaps decreased $0.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively (including $0.2 million reclassified from other comprehensive loss to interest expense for both periods). A summary of our financial (liabilities) assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

	June 30, 2020										December 31, 2019
	Level 1		Level 2			Level 3		Total			Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
	(In thousands)
Interest rate swaps	$	—	$	(6,059	)	$	—	$	(6,059	)	$	—	$	130	$	—	$	130

One of our equity method investees has two interest rate swaps which qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our share of the change in fair value of the related swaps included in "accumulated other comprehensive loss" was an increase of less than $0.1 million and a decrease of $0.8 million, respectively.

NOTE 6—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are sometimes involved in lawsuits, warranty claims, and environmental matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.

We are currently a party to various legal proceedings. We accrue a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, we accrue the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. We do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Also under our leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify us from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against us (1) as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant, and (2) where appropriate, due to certain matters relating to the ownership of the properties prior to their acquisition by us.

Under the terms of certain partnership agreements, the partners have the right to exchange their operating partnership units for cash or common shares, at our option. A total of 744,617 downREIT operating partnership units are outstanding which have a total fair value of approximately $63.4 million, which is calculated by multiplying the outstanding number of downREIT partnership units by our closing stock price on June 30, 2020.

NOTE 7—SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY

(1) Amount represents dividends per depository share, each representing 1/1000th of a share.

We have an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program in which we may from time to time offer and sell common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million. We intend to use the net proceeds to fund potential acquisition opportunities, fund our development and redevelopment pipeline, repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and/or for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2020, we had the capacity to issue up to $128.3 million in common shares under our ATM equity program.

NOTE 10—EARNINGS PER SHARE

We have calculated earnings per share (“EPS”) under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation methodology whereby EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities is calculated according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we had 0.2 million weighted average unvested shares outstanding, which are considered participating securities. Therefore, we have allocated our earnings for basic and diluted EPS between common shares and unvested shares; the portion of earnings allocated to the unvested shares is reflected as “earnings allocated to unvested shares” in the reconciliation below.

In the dilutive EPS calculation, dilutive stock options were calculated using the treasury stock method consistent with prior periods. There were 682 anti-dilutive stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The conversions of downREIT operating partnership units and 5.417% Series 1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares are anti-dilutive for all periods presented and accordingly, have been excluded from the weighted average common shares used to compute diluted EPS.

ITEM 2.    MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Forward-Looking Statements

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated interim financial statements and notes thereto appearing in Item 1 of this report and the more detailed information contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 10, 2020.

Certain statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q are forward-looking statements. Those statements include statements regarding the intent, belief or current expectations of Federal Realty Investment Trust (“we” “our” or “us”) and members of our management team, as well as the assumptions on which such statements are based, and generally are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “seeks,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “plans,” “intends,” “should” or similar expressions. Actual results may differ materially from those contemplated by such forward-looking statements. Further, forward-looking statements speak only as of the date they are made, and we undertake no obligation to update or revise forward-looking statements to reflect changed assumptions, the occurrence of unanticipated events or changes to future operating results over time, unless required by law.

The following are some of the risks and uncertainties, although not all risks and uncertainties, that could cause our actual results to differ materially from those presented in our forward-looking statements:

• risks that our tenants will not pay rent, may vacate early or may file for bankruptcy or that we may be unable to renew leases or re-let space at favorable rents as leases expire;

• risks that we may not be able to proceed with or obtain necessary approvals for any redevelopment or renovation project, and that completion of anticipated or ongoing property redevelopment or renovation projects that we do pursue may cost more, take more time to complete or fail to perform as expected;

• risk that we are investing a significant amount in ground-up development projects that may be dependent on third parties to deliver critical aspects of certain projects, requires spending a substantial amount upfront in infrastructure, and assumes receipt of public funding which has been committed but not entirely funded;

• risks normally associated with the real estate industry, including risks that occupancy levels at our properties and the amount of rent that we receive from our properties may be lower than expected, that new acquisitions may fail to perform as expected, that competition for acquisitions could result in increased prices for acquisitions, that costs associated with the periodic maintenance and repair or renovation of space, insurance and other operations may increase, that environmental issues may develop at our properties and result in unanticipated costs, and, because real estate is illiquid, that we may not be able to sell properties when appropriate;

• risks that our growth will be limited if we cannot obtain additional capital;

• risks of financing on terms which are acceptable to us, our ability to meet existing financial covenants and the limitations imposed on our operations by those covenants, and the possibility of increases in interest rates that would result in increased interest expense;

15

• risks related to our status as a real estate investment trust, commonly referred to as a REIT, for federal income tax purposes, such as the existence of complex tax regulations relating to our status as a REIT, the effect of future changes in REIT requirements as a result of new legislation, and the adverse consequences of the failure to qualify as a REIT;

• risks related to natural disasters, climate change and public health crises (such as the outbreak and worldwide spread of COVID-19), and the measures that international, federal, state and local governments, agencies, law enforcement and/or health authorities implement to address them, may precipitate or materially exacerbate one or more of the above-mentioned risks, and may significantly disrupt or prevent us from operating our business in the ordinary course for an extended period.

Given these uncertainties, readers are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements that we make, including those in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. You should carefully review the risks and the risk factors included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 and under Part II, Item 1A in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, before making any investments in us.

Overview

We are an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, management, and redevelopment of high quality retail and mixed-use properties located primarily in densely populated and affluent communities in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic regions of the United States, California, and South Florida. As of June 30, 2020, we owned or had a majority interest in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties which are operated as 104 predominantly retail real estate projects comprising approximately 24.0 million square feet. In total, the real estate projects were 93.0% leased and 90.8% occupied at June 30, 2020.

Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. Our Board of Trustees, as part of its risk oversight function, is regularly coordinating with management to assess the effects of the pandemic on our business and to determine appropriate courses of action to maintain the health and safety of our personnel, to strengthen our financial position and to adapt our business as appropriate. In response to the pandemic, we have taken a number of specific actions so far:

• On March 16, 2020, we transitioned our work force to work remotely, canceled all non-essential business travel and have canceled company events, or are holding them remotely. As of June 30, 2020, we have re-opened most of our offices with limited capacity following federal, state and local guidelines for phased re-openings.

• During May 2020, we entered into multiple financing transactions to both strengthen our financial position and maximize our liquidity. On May 6, 2020, we entered into a $400.0 million term loan that bears interest at LIBOR plus 135 basis points and matures on May 6, 2021, plus one twelve month extension option at our option. On May 11, 2020, we issued $400.0 million of 3.50% senior notes maturing on June 1, 2030 with a yield to maturity of 3.630% and reopened our 3.95% senior notes maturing on January 15, 2024 for an additional $300.0 million with a yield to maturity of 2.944%. We also repaid the $990.0 million outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility and amended how certain covenants are calculated to provide us more operating flexibility. As of June 30, 2020, there is no outstanding balance on our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility and we have cash and cash equivalents of $980.0 million.

• Construction activity has resumed at all of our projects, including Assembly Row and Santana West, where activities were paused as a result of government restrictions. Overall, we are experiencing a slower pace of construction as well as elevated costs as we observe COVID-19 safety protocols at all sites.

• Launched The Pick-Up, a curbside, contactless exchange which creates a singular, reliable, centralized service that retailers and restaurants of all sizes can take advantage of, particularly well-suited for small businesses.

The extent of the effects of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and growth prospects is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted with any certainty. See Item 1A. Risk Factors. However, we believe the actions we are taking will help minimize interruptions to our operations and will put us in the best position to participate in the resulting economic recovery. Management and our Board of Trustees will continue to actively monitor the effects of the pandemic, including governmental directives in the jurisdictions in which we operate and the recommendations of public health authorities, and will, as needed, take further measures to adapt our business in the best interests of our shareholders and personnel.

Business Continuity

We were able to transition all but a limited number of essential employees to remote work and do not anticipate any adverse impact on our ability to continue to operate our business. Transitioning to a largely remote workforce has not had any material adverse impact on our financial reporting systems, our internal controls or disclosure controls and procedures. As government mandated closures and restrictions are gradually lifted through phased re-openings, we are following local, state and federal governments guidelines and limiting the number of employees coming into our offices as well as implementing health and

16

safety guidelines. In addition, we are following the proper guidelines to ensure that property employees are visiting properties only as necessary to ensure that the properties with businesses that are open and operating are able to conduct business and serve their communities. At this time, we have not laid off, furloughed, or terminated any employee in response to COVID-19, nor have we modified the compensation of any employee. The Compensation Committee of our Board of Trustees may reevaluate the performance goals and other aspects of the compensation arrangements of our executive officers later in 2020 as more information about the effects of COVID-19 become known.

2020 Property Acquisitions and Disposition

On January 10, 2020, we acquired a 49,000 square foot shopping center in Fairfax, Virginia for $22.3 million. This property is adjacent to, and will be operated as part of our Fairfax Junction property. This purchase price was paid with a combination of cash and the issuance of 163,322 downREIT operating partnership units. Approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively.

On February 12, 2020, we acquired two buildings totaling 12,000 square feet in Hoboken, New Jersey for $14.3 million, including the assumption of $8.9 million of mortgage debt. This acquisition is in addition to the 37 buildings previously acquired, and was completed through the joint venture that was formed in 2019, for which we own a 90% interest. Less than $0.1 million and approximately $3.3 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively.

On April 21, 2020, we sold a building in Pasadena, California for $16.1 million, which resulted in a gain of $11.7 million.

2020 Debt and Equity Transactions

In connection with the two buildings we acquired in Hoboken, New Jersey on February 12, 2020, we assumed two mortgage loans with a net face amount of $8.9 million and a fair value of $9.0 million. The mortgage loans bear interest at 4.00% and mature on July 27, 2027.

In March 2020, in order to strengthen our financial position and balance sheet, to maximize our liquidity, and to provide maximum financial flexibility to continue our business initiatives as the effects of COVID-19 continue to evolve, we borrowed $990.0 million under our revolving credit facility, representing a draw-down of almost the entirety of our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. This amount was subsequently repaid when we entered into a $400.0 million unsecured term loan on May 6, 2020 and issued $700.0 million of fixed rate unsecured senior notes on May 11, 2020.

The unsecured term loan matures on May 6, 2021, plus one twelve month extension at our option, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 135 basis points based on our current credit rating. Our net proceeds from this transaction after underwriting fees and other costs were $398.7 million.

The $700.0 million of unsecured senior notes issued in May 2020 comprise a $300.0 million reopening of our 3.95% senior notes maturing on January 15, 2024 and a $400.0 million issuance of 3.50% senior notes maturing on June 1, 2030. The 3.95% senior notes were offered at 103.257% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 2.944%, and have the same terms and are of the same series as the $300.0 million senior notes issued on December 9, 2013. The 3.50% senior notes were offered at 98.911% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.630%. Our net proceeds from these transactions after the net issuance premium, underwriting fees, and other costs were $700.1 million.

We have an at-the-market (“ATM”) equity program in which we may from time to time offer and sell common shares having an aggregate offering price of up to $400.0 million. We intend to use the net proceeds to fund potential acquisition opportunities, fund our development and redevelopment pipeline, repay amounts outstanding under our revolving credit facility and/or for general corporate purposes. As of June 30, 2020, we had the capacity to issue up to $128.3 million in common shares under our ATM equity program.

Capitalized Costs

Certain external and internal costs directly related to the development, redevelopment and leasing of real estate, including pre-construction costs, real estate taxes, insurance, construction costs and salaries and related costs of personnel directly involved, are capitalized. We capitalized certain external and internal costs related to both development and redevelopment activities of $202 million and $5 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $142 million and $4 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We capitalized external and internal costs related to other property improvements of $27 million and $2 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $29 million and $2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019. We capitalized external and internal costs related to leasing activities of $5 million and $1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020, and $10 million and $1 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019. The amount of capitalized internal costs for salaries and related benefits for development and redevelopment activities, other property improvements, and leasing activities were $5 million, $1 million, and $1 million,

17

respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and $4 million, $1 million, and $1 million, respectively for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Total capitalized costs were $242 million and $188 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements.

Outlook

Our long-term growth strategy is focused on growth in earnings, funds from operations, and cash flows primarily through a combination of the following:

• growth in our comparable property portfolio,

• growth in our portfolio from property developments and redevelopments, and

• expansion of our portfolio through property acquisitions.

While the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic is impacting us in the short-term, our long-term focus has not changed. See our 10-K filed on February 13, 2020, for discussion of our our long-term strategies.

The actions taken by federal, state and local governments to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, initially by ordering closures of non-essential businesses and ordering residents to generally stay at home, and subsequent phased re-openings have resulted in

many of our tenants temporarily or even permanently closing their businesses, and for some, it has impacted their ability to pay rent. As of July 31, 2020, approximately 11% of our tenants (based on occupied square footage) were closed as a result of governmental orders compared to 51% at March 31, 2020. These economic hardships have adversely impacted our business, and had a negative effect on our financial results during the quarter ended June 30, 2020.  With very few exceptions, our leases require tenants to continue to pay rent even while closed as a result of the pandemic, however, many tenants did not pay rents and other charges during the second quarter of 2020 and in July 2020. As of June 30, 2020, we have entered into agreements with approximately 20% of our tenants (based on total commercial leases) to defer rent payments to later periods, largely through 2021, although some extend beyond, and negotiations with other tenants are still ongoing. Our percentage of contractual rent actually collected has increased each month since April, including some tenants paying past due amounts. While this is a positive trend driven by government mandated restrictions gradually being lifted, we are expecting that our rent collections will continue to be below our tenants’ contractual rent obligations and historical levels, which will continue to adversely impact our results of operations. The extent of such impact will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. Depending upon the duration of tenant closures, operating restrictions, and the overall economic downturn resulting from COVID-19, we may find that even deferred rents are difficult to collect, and we may experience higher vacancy levels. While the duration and severity of the economic impact resulting from COVID-19 is unknown, we seek to position the Trust to participate in the resulting economic recovery.

We continue to have several development projects in process, albeit at a slower pace due to COVID-19 related restrictions, being delivered as follows:

• In the 1^st quarter of 2020, we delivered the fully leased eight story, 301,000 square foot office building at Santana Row.

• The first phase of construction on the 12 acres of land that we control across from Santana Row includes an eight story 376,000 square foot office building, with over 1,700 parking spaces. The building is expected to cost between $250 million and $270 million with openings beginning in 2022.

• Phase III of Assembly Row includes 277,000 square feet of office space (of which, 150,000 square feet is pre-leased), 56,000 square feet of retail space, 500 residential units, and over 800 additional parking spaces. The expected costs for Phase III are between $465 million and $485 million and is projected to open beginning in 2021.

• At Pike & Rose, we are continuing construction on a 212,000 square foot office building (which includes 4,000 square feet of ground floor retail space), and will include over 600 additional parking spaces. The building is expected to cost between $128 million and $135 million and will begin to open later in 2020.

• Throughout the portfolio, we currently have redevelopment projects underway with a projected total cost of approximately $318 million that we expect to stabilize over the next several years.

The above includes our best estimates based on information currently known, however, the completion of construction, final costs, and the timing of openings will be dependent upon the duration of governmental restrictions and the duration and severity of the economic impacts of COVID-19.

18

The development of future phases of Assembly Row, Pike & Rose and Santana Row will be pursued opportunistically based on, among other things, market conditions, tenant demand, and our evaluation of whether those phases will generate an appropriate financial return.

At June 30, 2020, the leasable square feet in our properties was 93.0% leased and 90.8% occupied. The leased rate is higher than the occupied rate due to leased spaces that are being redeveloped or improved or that are awaiting permits and, therefore, are not yet ready to be occupied. Our occupancy and leased rates are subject to variability over time due to factors including acquisitions, the timing of the start and stabilization of our redevelopment projects, lease expirations and tenant closings and bankruptcies.

Lease Rollovers

For the second quarter of 2020, we signed leases for a total of 315,000 square feet of retail space including 278,000 square feet of comparable space leases (leases for which there was a prior tenant) at an average rental increase of 11% on a cash basis. New leases for comparable spaces were signed for 123,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 32% on a cash basis. Renewals for comparable spaces were signed for 155,000 square feet at no average rental increase on a cash basis. Tenant improvements and incentives for comparable spaces were $30.94 per square foot, of which, $69.12 per square foot was for new leases and $0.69 per square foot was for renewals for the three months ended June 30, 2020.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, we signed leases for a total of 806,000 square feet of retail space including 744,000 square feet of comparable space leases (leases for which there was a prior tenant) at an average rental increase of 7% on a cash basis. New leases for comparable spaces were signed for 274,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 16% on a cash basis. Renewals for comparable spaces were signed for 470,000 square feet at an average rental increase of 2% on a cash basis. Tenant improvements and incentives for comparable spaces were $31.21 per square foot, of which, $79.88 per square foot was for new leases and $2.86 per square foot was for renewals for the six months ended June 30, 2020.

The rental increases associated with comparable spaces generally include all leases signed for retail space in arms-length transactions reflecting market leverage between landlords and tenants during the period. The comparison between average rent for expiring leases and new leases is determined by including minimum rent and percentage rent paid on the expiring lease and minimum rent and in some instances, projections of first lease year percentage rent, to be paid on the new lease. In atypical circumstances, management may exercise judgment as to how to most effectively reflect the comparability of spaces reported in this calculation. The change in rental income on comparable space leases is impacted by numerous factors including current market rates, location, individual tenant creditworthiness, use of space, market conditions when the expiring lease was signed, capital investment made in the space and the specific lease structure. Tenant improvements and incentives include the total dollars committed for the improvement (fit out) of a space as it relates to a specific lease and, except for redevelopments, may also include base building costs (i.e. expansion, escalators or new entrances) which are required to make the space leasable. Incentives include amounts paid to tenants as inducement to sign a lease that do not represent building improvements. Costs related to redevelopments requires judgment by management in determining what reflects base building costs and thus, is not included in the "tenant improvements and incentives" amount.

The leases signed in 2020 generally become effective over the following two years though some may not become effective until 2023 and beyond. Further, there is risk that some new tenants will not ultimately take possession of their space and that tenants for both new and renewal leases may not pay all of their contractual rent due to operating, financing or other matters. However, these increases do provide information about the tenant/landlord relationship and the potential increase we may achieve in rental income over time.

Historically, we have executed comparable space leases for 1.3 to 1.9 million square feet of retail space each year, however, we expect that volume and potentially rental rate increases for 2020 to be negatively impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.

Comparable Properties

Throughout this section, we have provided certain information on a “comparable property” basis. Information provided on a comparable property basis includes the results of properties that we owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared except for properties that are currently under development or are being repositioned for significant redevelopment and investment. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, all or a portion of 98 and 97 properties, respectively, were considered comparable properties and eight properties were considered non-comparable properties. For the three months ended June 30, 2020, one property was moved from acquisitions to comparable properties and one portion of a property was removed from comparable properties, as it was sold, compared to the designations for the three months ended March 31, 2020, which were 97 properties or portion of properties considered comparable and eight considered non-comparable. For the six months ended June 30, 2020, two properties and two portions of properties were moved from non-comparable properties to comparable properties, one property was moved from comparable properties to non-comparable properties, one property was moved from acquisitions to non-comparable properties, and one portion of a property was removed from comparable properties, as it was

19

sold, compared to the designations for the year ended December 31, 2019. While there is judgment surrounding changes in designations, we typically move non-comparable properties to comparable properties once they have stabilized, which is typically considered 90% physical occupancy or when the growth expected from the redevelopment has been included in the comparable periods. We typically remove properties from comparable properties when the repositioning of the asset has commenced and has or is expected to have a significant impact to property operating income within the calendar year. Acquisitions are moved to comparable properties once we have owned the property for the entirety of comparable periods and the property is not under development or being repositioned for significant redevelopment and investment.

(1) Property operating income is a non-GAAP measure that consists of rental income and mortgage interest income, less rental expenses and real estate taxes. This measure is used internally to evaluate the performance of property operations and we consider it to be a significant measure. Property operating income should not be considered an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP.

Property Revenues

Total property revenue decreased $54.2 million, or 23.5%, to $176.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $230.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. The percentage occupied at our shopping centers was 90.8% at June 30, 2020 compared to 93.3% at June 30, 2019. The most significant driver of the decrease in property revenues is the impact of COVID-19, as many of our tenants were forced to temporarily or in some cases permanently close their businesses resulting in changes in our collectibility estimates and in some cases rent abatement. Changes in the components of property revenue are discussed below.

Rental Income

Rental income consists primarily of minimum rent, cost reimbursements from tenants and percentage rent, and is net of collectibility related adjustments. Rental income decreased $54.3 million, or 23.6%, to $175.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $229.7 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to the following:

• higher collectibility related adjustments across all properties of $54.2 million primarily the result of COVID-19 impacts. This includes the write-off of $9.4 million of straight-line rent receivables primarily related to tenants who were changed to a cash basis of revenue recognition during the quarter ended June 30, 2020,

• a decrease of $5.0 million from comparable properties primarily related to lower average occupancy of approximately $3.7 million, $2.2 million of lower parking income and percentage rent primarily due to the

20

impacts from COVID-19 related closures, and $1.0 million of lower legal and lease termination fees, partially offset by higher rental rates of approximately $3.0 million, and

• a decrease of $3.3 million from property sales,

partially offset by,

• an increase of $5.2 million from acquisitions of Hoboken during the second half of 2019 and early 2020, Georgetowne Shopping Center in November 2019, and Fairfax Junction in January 2020, and

• an increase of $2.9 million from non-comparable properties primarily driven by the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020, partially offset by $1.0 million related to lower parking income primarily due to the impacts from COVID-19 related closures.

Property Expenses

Total property expenses increased $0.4 million, or 0.6%, to $67.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $66.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. Changes in the components of property expenses are discussed below.

Rental Expenses

Rental expenses decreased $5.0 million, or 12.1%, to $36.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $41.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to the following:

• a decrease of $5.2 million from comparable properties due primarily to lower repairs and maintenance costs and utilities primarily driven by the impact of COVID-19, and

• a decrease of $0.3 million from property sales,

partially offset by,

• an increase of $0.7 million from acquisitions of Hoboken during the second half of 2019 and early 2020 and Georgetowne Shopping Center in November 2019.

As a result of the changes in rental income and rental expenses as discussed above, rental expenses as a percentage of rental income increased to 20.8% in the three months ended June 30, 2020 from 18.0% in the three months ended June 30, 2019.

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate tax expense increased $5.4 million, or 21.6%, to $30.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared

to $25.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is primarily due to the following:

• an increase of $4.4 million from comparable properties primarily due to 2019 tax refunds from a multi-year appeal and reassessment at three of our properties, and higher current year assessments,

• an increase of $0.8 million from acquisitions of Hoboken during the second half of 2019 and early 2020 and Georgetowne Shopping Center in November 2019, and

• an increase of $0.5 million from non-comparable properties due primarily to the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020,

partially offset by,

• a decrease of $0.3 million from property sales.

Property Operating Income

Property operating income decreased $54.7 million, or 33.4%, to $109.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $163.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to the impact of COVID-19, which resulted in higher collectibility related adjustments, lower percentage rent, and lower parking income, partially offset by property acquisitions and the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020.

Other Operating

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense decreased $1.6 million, or 14.1%, to $9.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $11.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is due primarily to COVID-19 impacts including office closures and cancellations of all non-essential business travel and company events, as well as lower personnel related costs.

21

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.7 million, or 6.3%, to $62.8 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 from $59.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is due primarily to 2019 acquisitions and the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020, partially offset by property sales.

Gain on Sale of Real Estate, Net

The $11.7 million gain on sale of real estate, net for the three months ended June 30, 2020 is due primarily to the sale of a building in Pasadena, California.

The $16.2 million gain on sale of real estate, net for the three months ended June 30, 2019 is due primarily to the sale of Free

State Shopping Center and a land parcel at Northeast Shopping Center.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased $61.3 million, or 55.9%, to $48.3 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $109.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19, which resulted in higher collectibility related adjustments, lower percentage rent, and lower parking income, as well as a lower net gain on the sale of real estate compared to prior year, partially offset by lower rental expenses and general and administrative expenses due to the impact COVID-19, the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020, and property acquisitions.

Other

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $6.6 million, or 24.0%, to $34.1 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $27.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is due primarily to the following:

• an increase of $5.7 million from higher borrowings in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (see further discussion in "Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic" earlier in Item 2 of this document), and

• an increase of $3.3 million due to higher weighted average borrowings primarily from the $400 million issuance of our 3.20% notes in 2019, and $106.9 million of mortgage loans associated with our Hoboken acquisitions, partially offset by the repayment of our $275.0 million term loan in June 2019,

partially offset by,

• a decrease of $1.4 million due to a lower overall weighted average borrowing rate, and

• an increase of $1.0 million in capitalized interest, primarily attributable to the development of Phase III of Assembly Row and Pike & Rose.

Gross interest costs were $39.8 million and $32.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Capitalized interest was $5.7 million and $4.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

(Loss) income from partnerships

Loss from partnerships increased $4.3 million to $3.9 million in the three months ended June 30, 2020 compared to income of $0.4 million in the three months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to our share of losses from our hotel investments at Assembly Row and Pike & Rose, largely the result of COVID-19 closures and restrictions.

Property Revenues

Total property revenue decreased $54.9 million, or 11.9%, to $407.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $462.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The percentage occupied at our shopping centers was 90.8% at June 30, 2020 compared to 93.3% at June 30, 2019. The most significant driver of the decrease in property revenue is the impact of COVID-19, as some of our tenants were forced to temporarily or in some cases permanently close their businesses resulting in changes in our collectibility estimates and in some cases rent abatement. Changes in the components of property revenue are discussed below.

Rental Income

Rental income consists primarily of minimum rent, cost reimbursements from tenants and percentage rent, and is net of collectibility related adjustments. Rental income decreased $54.9 million, or 11.9%, to $406.3 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $461.2 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to the following:

• higher collectibility related adjustments across all properties of $56.4 million primarily the result of COVID-19 impacts. This includes the write-off of $9.4 million of straight-line rent receivables primarily related to tenants who were changed to a cash basis of revenue recognition during the quarter ended June 30, 2020,

• a decrease of $7.9 million from comparable properties due primarily to lower average occupancy of approximately $6.4 million, lower lease termination fees and legal fees of $3.8 million, lower parking income and percentage rent of $2.4 million primarily due to the impacts from COVID-19 related closures, and lower recoveries of $1.8 million primarily the result of lower snow removal expense, partially offset by higher rental rates of approximately $8.1 million, and

• a decrease of $6.9 million from property sales,

partially offset by,

23

• an increase of $10.5 million from acquisitions of Hoboken during the second half of 2019 and early 2020, Georgetowne Shopping Center in November 2019, and Fairfax Junction in January 2020, and

• an increase of $5.8 million from non comparable properties driven by the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020,

Property Expenses

Total property expenses increased $1.8 million, or 1.3%, to $140.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $138.6 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. Changes in the components of property expenses are discussed below.

Rental Expenses

Rental expenses decreased $5.0 million, or 5.8%, to $80.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $85.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019 due primarily to the following:

• a decrease of $6.5 million from comparable properties due to lower snow removal expense, and lower repairs and maintenance and utilities primarily driven by the impact of COVID-19.

• a decrease of $0.8 million from our property sales,

partially offset by,

• a increase of $1.5 million from acquisitions of Hoboken during the second half of 2019 and early 2020, Georgetowne Shopping Center in November 2019, and Fairfax Junction in January 2020, and

• an increase of $0.4 million from non-comparable properties due primarily to the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020.

As a result of the changes in rental income and rental expenses as discussed above, rental expenses as a percentage of rental income increased to 19.9% in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from 18.6% in the six months ended June 30, 2019.

Real Estate Taxes

Real estate tax expense increased $6.8 million, or 12.9%, to $59.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared

to $52.9 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is primarily due to the following:

• an increase of $4.8 million from comparable properties primarily due to a 2019 tax refunds from a multi-year appeal and reassessment at three of our properties, and higher current year assessments,

• an increase of $1.7 million from acquisitions of Hoboken during the second half of 2019 and early 2020, Georgetowne Shopping Center in November 2019, and Fairfax Junction in January 2020, and

• an increase of $0.9 million from non-comparable properties due primarily to the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020,

partially offset by,

• a decrease of $0.6 million from our property sales.

Property Operating Income

Property operating income decreased $56.7 million, or 17.5%, to $267.4 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $324.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to the impact of COVID-19, which resulted in higher collectibility related adjustments, lower percentage rent, and lower parking income, in addition to property sales, and lower lease termination fee income, partially offset by property acquisitions and the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020.

Other Operating

General and Administrative

General and administrative expense decreased $0.9 million, or 4.4%, to $20.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $21.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is due primarily to COVID-19 impacts including office closures and cancellations of all non-essential business travel and company events, and lower personnel related costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $6.3 million, or 5.3%, to $125.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $118.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is due primarily to property acquisitions and the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020, partially offset by property sales.

24

Gain on Sale of Real Estate, Net

The $11.7 million gain on sale of real estate, net for the six months ended June 30, 2020 is due to the sale of a building in Pasadena, California.

The $16.2 million gain on sale of real estate, net for the six months ended June 30, 2019 is due to the sale of Free State Shopping Center, a land parcel at Northeast Shopping Center, and condominium sales.

Operating Income

Operating income decreased $66.6 million, or 33.2%, to $134.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $200.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This decrease is primarily due to the impacts of COVID-19, which resulted in higher collectibility related adjustments, lower percentage rent, and lower parking income, as well as lower net gain on the sale of real estate and the impact of property sales, partially offset by the opening of our new office building at Santana Row in early 2020, property acquisitions, and lower rental expenses, largely due to the impact of COVID-19.

Other

Interest Expense

Interest expense increased $7.0 million, or 12.6%, to $62.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $55.5 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is due primarily to the following:

• an increase of $6.3 million from higher borrowings in response to the COVID-19 pandemic (see further discussion in "Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic" earlier in Item 2 of this document), and

• an increase of $5.4 million due to higher weighted average borrowings primarily from the $400.0 million issuance of our 3.20% notes in 2019, and $106.9 million of mortgage loans associated with our Hoboken acquisitions, partially offset by the repayment of our $275.0 million term loan in June 2019,

partially offset by,

• a decrease of $2.5 million due to a lower overall weighted average borrowing rate, and

• an increase of $2.2 million in capitalized interest, primarily attributable to the development of Phase III of Assembly Row and Pike & Rose.

Gross interest costs were $73.9 million and $64.8 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Capitalized interest was $11.4 million and $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Loss from partnerships

Loss from partnerships increased $4.0 million to $5.0 million in the six months ended June 30, 2020 compared to $1.1 million in the six months ended June 30, 2019. This increase is primarily due to our share of losses from our hotel investments at Assembly Row and Pike & Rose, largely the result of COVID-19 closures and restrictions.

25

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Due to the nature of our business and strategy, we typically generate significant amounts of cash from operations which is largely paid to our common and preferred shareholders in the form of dividends because as a REIT, we are generally required to make annual distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our taxable income. Remaining cash flow from operations after dividend payments is used to fund recurring and non-recurring capital projects (such as tenant improvements and redevelopments), and regular debt service requirements (including debt service relating to additional or replacement debt, as well as scheduled debt maturities). We maintain a $1.0 billion revolving credit facility to fund short term cash flow needs and also look to the public and private debt and equity markets, joint venture relationships, and property dispositions to fund capital expenditures on a long-term basis.

We are currently experiencing lower levels of cash from operations due to lower rent collections from tenants impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic (see further discussion under the "Outlook" section of this Item 2). While the overall economic impacts of the pandemic are unknown, we have taken multiple steps during the last several months to strengthen our financial position, maximize liquidity, and to provide maximum flexibility during these uncertain times. In March 2020, we borrowed $990.0 million under our revolving credit facility, representing a draw-down of almost the entirety of our $1.0 billion credit facility. In May 2020, we entered into a $400.0 million unsecured term loan and issued $700.0 million of fixed rate unsecured senior notes for combined net proceeds of $1.1 billion. We subsequently repaid the outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility and amended how certain covenants are calculated to provide us more operating flexibility. As of June 30, 2020, there is no outstanding balance on our $1.0 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and we have cash and cash equivalents of $980.0 million.

For the six months ended June 30, 2020, our weighted average borrowing rate on the revolving credit facility, before amortization of debt fees, was 1.5%. As of June 30, 2020, we had the capacity to issue up to $128.3 million in common shares under our ATM equity program.

Over the next 12 months, we have $330.3 million of debt maturing, excluding our $400.0 million term loan, which may be extended for an additional twelve months at our option. Additionally, our overall capital requirements for the remainder of 2020 will depend upon the nature of government mandated closures and restrictions and the overall economic impact of COVD-19, as well as general timing of our redevelopment and development activities. During the second quarter 2020, we experienced lower levels of capital investment as the result of COVID-19 related closures. However, we were able to restart all construction related activities during the quarter and consequently expect to see higher levels of investment during the remainder of the year, absent further requirements to halt construction activities.

We believe that the cash on our balance sheet together with rents we collect as well as our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility will allow us to continue to operate our business in the near-term. Given our recent ability to access the capital markets, we also expect debt or equity to be available to us. We may also further delay the timing of certain development and redevelopment projects as well as limit future acquisitions, reduce our operating expenditures, or re-evaluate our dividend policy.  We continue to monitor governmental financial assistance programs being made available to address impacts of COVID-19 and may access one or more of these programs to supplement our liquidity if we qualify for them. 

While the COVID-19 pandemic has negatively impacted our business during the quarter ended June 30, 2020 and, we expect it will continue to negatively impact our business in the short term, we maintain our long term commitment to a conservative capital structure that will allow us to maintain strong debt service coverage and fixed-charge coverage ratios as part of our commitment to investment-grade debt ratings.

Summary of Cash Flows

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2020			2019
	(In thousands)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	181,382		$	242,287
Cash used in investing activities	(257,198		)	(113,368		)
Cash provided by (used in) financing activities	923,439			(96,982		)
Increase in cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	847,623			31,937
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, beginning of year	153,614			108,332
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, end of period	$	1,001,237		$	140,269

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $60.9 million to $181.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $242.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to lower net income before non-cash items and higher accounts receivable balances as we experienced lower rent collection rates in the second quarter 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, partially offset by the timing of interest payments on our senior notes and lower prepaid expenses.

Net cash used in investing activities increased $143.8 million to $257.2 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $113.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to:

• a $76.0 million decrease in proceeds from the sale of real estate resulting from the sale of a building in Pasadena, California in April 2020, as compared to the sales of our Free State Shopping Center, a land parcel at our Northeast Shopping Center, and condominiums at our Assembly Row and Pike & Rose properties in 2019,

• a $73.3 million increase in capital expenditures as we continue to invest in Pike & Rose, Assembly Row, Santana Row and other redevelopments, and

• $12.9 million for net costs paid in 2020 relating to the partial sale under threat of condemnation at San Antonio Center in 2019,

partially offset by

• a $15.8 million decrease in acquisition of real estate, primarily due to the February 2019 acquisition of Fairfax Junction, partially offset by the acquisition of two buildings in Hoboken, New Jersey in February 2020.

Net cash provided by financing activities increased $1,020.4 million to $923.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2020 from $97.0 million used in the six months ended June 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to:

• a $403.0 increase due to net proceeds of $700.1 million from the issuance of $400.0 million of 3.50% unsecured senior notes and the $300.0 million reopening of our 3.95% unsecured senior notes in May 2020 as compared to $297.1 million in net proceeds from the issuance of $300.0 million of 3.20% unsecured senior notes in June 2019,

• $398.7 million in net proceeds from our unsecured term loan in May 2020, and

• a $294.8 million decrease in repayment of mortgages, finance leases, and notes payable primarily due to the repayment of our $275.0 million unsecured term loan in June 2019 and the $20.3 million repayment of the mortgage loan on Rollingwood Apartments in January 2019,

partially offset by

• a $68.4 million decrease in net proceeds from the issuance of common shares under our ATM program during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

_____________________

1) On November 26, 2019, we entered into two interest rate swap agreements that fix the interest rate on this mortgage loan at 3.67%.

2) The interest rates on these mortgages range from 3.91% to 5.00%.

3) This mortgage loan has a fixed interest rate, however, the rate resets every five years until maturity. The current interest rate is fixed until July 1, 2022, and the loan is prepayable at par anytime after this date.

28

4) The maximum amount drawn under our revolving credit facility during the six months ended June 30, 2020 was $990.0 million, and the weighted average interest rate on borrowings under our revolving credit facility, before amortization of debt fees, was 1.5%.

Our revolving credit facility and other debt agreements include financial and other covenants that may limit our operating activities in the future. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all financial and other covenants related to our revolving credit facility, term loan, and senior notes. Additionally, as of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants that could trigger loan default on our mortgage loans. If we were to breach any of these financial and other covenants and did not cure the breach within an applicable cure period, our lenders could require us to repay the debt immediately and, if the debt is secured, could immediately begin proceedings to take possession of the property securing the loan. Many of our debt arrangements, including our public notes and our revolving credit facility, are cross-defaulted, which means that the lenders under those debt arrangements can put us in default and require immediate repayment of their debt if we breach and fail to cure a default under certain of our other debt obligations. As a result, any default under our debt covenants could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, our results of operations, our ability to meet our obligations and the market value of our shares. Our organizational documents do not limit the level or amount of debt that we may incur.

The following is a summary of our scheduled principal repayments as of June 30, 2020:

	Unsecured			Secured		Total
	(In thousands)
2020	$	379		$	63,251	$	63,630
2021	650,680		(1)	31,756		682,436

	$	3,922,809		$	552,941	$	4,475,750	(3)

__________________

1) Our $400.0 million term loan matures on May 6, 2021 plus one twelve month extension, at our option.

2) Our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility matures on January 19, 2024 plus two six-month extensions at our option. As of June 30, 2020, there was no outstanding balance under this credit facility.

3) The total debt maturities differ from the total reported on the consolidated balance sheet due to the unamortized net premium/discount and debt issuance costs on mortgage loans, notes payable, and senior notes as of June 30, 2020.

Interest Rate Hedging

We may use derivative instruments to manage exposure to variable interest rate risk. We generally enter into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to variable interest rate risk and treasury locks to manage the risk of interest rates rising prior to the issuance of debt. We enter into derivative instruments that qualify as cash flow hedges and do not enter into derivative instruments for speculative purposes.

Interest rate swaps associated with cash flow hedges are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Effectiveness of cash flow hedges is assessed both at inception and on an ongoing basis. The effective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive loss which is included in "accumulated other comprehensive loss" on the balance sheet and statement of shareholders' equity. Cash flow hedges become ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt instrument do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and LIBOR rate. In addition, we evaluate the default risk of the counterparty by monitoring the credit-worthiness of the counterparty which includes reviewing debt ratings and financial performance. If a cash flow hedge is deemed ineffective, the ineffective portion of changes in fair value of the interest rate swaps associated with cash flow hedges is recognized in earnings in the period affected.

As of June 30, 2020, we have two interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix the rate on a mortgage payable associated with our Hoboken portfolio at 3.67%. Our Assembly Row hotel joint venture is also a party to two interest rate swap agreements that effectively fix their debt at 5.206%. All swaps were designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. Hedge ineffectiveness has not impacted earnings as of June 30, 2020.

29

REIT Qualification

We intend to maintain our qualification as a REIT under Section 856(c) of the Code. As a REIT, we generally will not be subject to corporate federal income taxes on income we distribute to our shareholders as long as we satisfy certain technical requirements of the Code, including the requirement to distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders.

Funds From Operations

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies’ operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as follows: net income, computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and excluding gains and losses on the sale of real estate or changes in control, net of tax, and 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. We compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, and we have historically reported our FFO available for common shareholders in addition to our net income and net cash provided by operating activities. It should be noted that FFO:

• does not represent cash flows from operating activities in accordance with GAAP (which, unlike FFO, generally reflects all cash effects of transactions and other events in the determination of net income);

• should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance; and

• is not necessarily indicative of cash flow as a measure of liquidity or ability to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends.

We consider FFO available for common shareholders a meaningful, additional measure of operating performance primarily because it excludes the assumption that the value of the real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as implied by the historical cost convention of GAAP and the recording of depreciation. We use FFO primarily as one of several means of assessing our operating performance in comparison with other REITs. Comparison of our presentation of FFO to similarly titled measures for other REITs may not necessarily be meaningful due to possible differences in the application of the NAREIT definition used by such REITs.

An increase or decrease in FFO available for common shareholders does not necessarily result in an increase or decrease in aggregate distributions because our Board of Trustees is not required to increase distributions on a quarterly basis. However, we must distribute at least 90% of our annual taxable income to remain qualified as a REIT. Therefore, a significant increase in FFO will generally require an increase in distributions to shareholders although not necessarily on a proportionate basis.

The reconciliation of net income to FFO available for common shareholders is as follows:

_____________________

(1) For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, dividends on our Series 1 preferred stock were not deducted in the calculation of FFO available to common shareholders, as the related shares were dilutive and included in "weighted average common shares, diluted."

(2) For the three months ended June 30, 2020, income attributable to operating partnership units is not added back in the calculation of FFO available to common shareholders, as the related shares are not dilutive and are not included in "weighted average common shares, diluted" for this period.

(3) For the six months ended June 30, 2020 and the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the weighted average common shares used to compute FFO per diluted common share includes operating partnership units that were excluded from the computation of diluted EPS. Conversion of these operating partnership units is dilutive in the computation of FFO per diluted share but is anti-dilutive for the computation of dilutive EPS for these periods.

ITEM 3.    QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Our use of financial instruments, such as debt instruments, subjects us to market risk which may affect our future earnings and cash flows, as well as the fair value of our assets. Market risk generally refers to the risk of loss from changes in interest rates and market prices. We manage our market risk by attempting to match anticipated inflow of cash from our operating, investing and financing activities with anticipated outflow of cash to fund debt payments, dividends to common and preferred shareholders, investments, capital expenditures and other cash requirements.

We may enter into certain types of derivative financial instruments to further reduce interest rate risk. We use interest rate protection and swap agreements, for example, to convert some of our variable rate debt to a fixed-rate basis or to hedge anticipated financing transactions. We use derivatives for hedging purposes rather than speculation and do not enter into financial instruments for trading purposes.

Interest Rate Risk

The following discusses the effect of hypothetical changes in market rates of interest on interest expense for our variable rate debt and on the fair value of our total outstanding debt, including our fixed-rate debt. Interest rate risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our debt. Quoted market prices were used to estimate the fair value of our marketable senior notes and debentures and discounted cash flow analysis is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. This analysis does not purport to take into account all of the factors that may affect our debt, such as the effect that a changing interest rate environment could have on the overall level of economic activity or the action that our management might take to reduce our exposure to the change. This analysis assumes no change in our financial structure.

31

Fixed Interest Rate Debt

The majority of our outstanding debt obligations (maturing at various times through 2046) have fixed interest rates which limit the risk of fluctuating interest rates. However, interest rate fluctuations may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt instruments. At June 30, 2020, we had $4.1 billion of fixed-rate debt outstanding, including $56.5 million of mortgage payables for which the rate is effectively fixed by two interest rate swap agreements. If market interest rates used to calculate the fair value on our fixed-rate debt instruments at June 30, 2020 had been 1.0% higher, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have decreased by approximately $278.5 million. If market interest rates used to calculate the fair value on our fixed-rate debt instruments at June 30, 2020 had been 1.0% lower, the fair value of those debt instruments on that date would have increased by approximately $317.5 million.

Variable Interest Rate Debt

Generally, we believe that our primary interest rate risk is due to fluctuations in interest rates on our outstanding variable rate debt. At June 30, 2020, we had $400.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding (the principal balance on our unsecured term loan). Based upon this amount of variable rate debt and the specific terms, if market interest rates increased 1.0%, our annual interest expense would increase approximately $4.0 million with a corresponding decrease in our net income and cash flows for the year. Conversely, if market interest rates decreased 1.0%, our annual interest expense would decrease by approximately $4.0 million with a corresponding increase in our net income and cash flows for the year.

ITEM 4.    CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Periodic Evaluation and Conclusion of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

An evaluation has been performed, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2020. Based on this evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of June 30, 2020 to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the SEC and (ii) accumulated and communicated to the Trust’s management including its principal executive and principal financial officer as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period covered by this report that materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.    LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

There have been no material developments in any of our legal proceedings since the disclosure contained in our Annual Report to Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2019.

ITEM 1A.    RISK FACTORS

This Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. When we refer to forward-looking statements or information, sometimes we use words such as “may,” “will,” “could,” “should,” “plans,” “intends,” “expects,” “believes,” “estimates,” “anticipates” and “continues.” While we attempt to identify, manage and mitigate risks and uncertainties associated with our business to the extent practical under the circumstances, some level of risk and uncertainty will always be present. . “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report to our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 filed with the SEC on February 10, 2020 describes some of the risks and uncertainties associated with our business. These risks and uncertainties have the potential to materially affect our business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows, projected results and future prospects. Except for the risk factor discussed below, we do not believe that there have been any material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2019 Annual Report.

Natural disasters, climate change and public health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, could have an adverse impact on our cash flow and operating results.

Climate change may add to the unpredictability and frequency of natural disasters and severe weather conditions and create additional uncertainty as to future trends and exposures. Certain of our operations are located in areas that are subject to natural disasters and severe weather conditions such as hurricanes, earthquakes, droughts, snow storms, floods and fires. The impact of climate change or the occurrence of natural disasters can delay new development projects, increase investment costs to repair or replace damaged properties, increase operating costs, create additional investment costs to make improvements to existing properties to comply with climate change regulations, increase future property insurance costs, and negatively impact the tenant demand for space. If insurance is unavailable to us or is unavailable on acceptable terms, or if our insurance is not adequate to cover business interruption or losses from these events, our earnings, liquidity or capital resources could be adversely affected.

In addition, our business is subject to risks related to the effects of public health crises, epidemics and pandemics, including the COVID-19 pandemic. Such events could inhibit global, national and local economic activity; adversely affect trading activity in securities markets, which could negatively impact the trading prices of our common shares and debt securities and our ability to access the securities markets as a source of liquidity; adversely affect our tenants’ financial condition by limiting foot traffic and staffing at their businesses, which could affect their ability to pay rent and willingness to make new leasing commitments; reduce our cash flow, which could impact our ability to pay dividends or to service our debt; temporarily or permanently reduce the demand for retail or office space; interfere with our business operations by requiring our personnel to work remotely; increase the frequency of cyber-attacks; disrupt supply chains that could be important in our development and redevelopment activities; interfere with potential purchases and sales of properties; and have other direct and indirect effects that are difficult to predict. Such risks depend upon the nature and severity of the public health concern, as well as the extent and duration of government-mandated orders and personal decisions to limit travel, economic activity and personal interaction, none of which can be predicted with confidence. In particular, we cannot predict the duration of stay-at-home and other government orders instituted in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, which vary by jurisdiction, or the pandemics' short and long term economic effects, each of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.

Nature Of Operations [Abstract]

BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION

Federal Realty Investment Trust (the “Trust”) is an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) specializing in the ownership, management, and redevelopment of retail and mixed-use properties. Our properties are located primarily in densely populated and affluent communities in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States, California, and South Florida. As of June 30, 2020, we owned or had a majority interest in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties which are operated as 104 predominantly retail real estate projects.

We operate in a manner intended to enable us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. A REIT that distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and meets certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, federal income taxes on our taxable income have been and are generally expected to be immaterial. We are obligated to pay state taxes, generally consisting of franchise or gross receipts taxes in certain states. Such state taxes also have not been material.

Impacts of COVID-19 Pandemic

In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the outbreak of novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) as a pandemic. While we currently expect the impact to our properties is temporary in nature, the extent of the future effects of COVID-19 on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and growth prospects is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted with any certainty.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust, its corporate subsidiaries, and all entities in which the Trust has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The equity interests of other investors are reflected as noncontrolling interests or redeemable noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. We account for our interests in joint ventures, which we do not control, using the equity method of accounting.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as “GAAP,” requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Our leases with our tenants are classified as operating leases. When collection of substantially all lease payments during the lease term is considered probable, the lease qualifies for accrual accounting. Lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis from the point in time when the tenant controls the space through the term of the related lease. Variable lease payments relating to percentage rent are recognized at the end of the lease year or earlier if we have determined the required sales level is achieved. Real estate tax and other cost reimbursements are recognized on an accrual basis over the periods in which the related

expenditures are incurred. For a tenant to terminate its lease agreement prior to the end of the agreed term, we may require that they pay a fee to cancel the lease agreement. Lease termination fees are generally recognized on the termination date if the tenant has relinquished control of the space. When a lease is terminated early but the tenant continues to control the space under a modified lease agreement, the lease termination fee is generally recognized evenly over the remaining term of the modified lease agreement. Lease concessions (unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic) are evaluated to determine whether the concession represents a modification of the original lease contract. Modifications generally result in a reassessment of the lease term and lease classification, and remeasurement of lease payments received. Remeasured lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the modified lease contract.

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued interpretive guidance relating to the accounting for lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that allows entities to treat the concession as if it was a part of the existing contract instead of applying lease modification accounting. This guidance is only applicable to the COVID-19 pandemic related lease concessions that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. We have elected this option relating to qualifying rent deferral and rent abatement agreements. For qualifying lease modifications with rent deferrals, this results in no change to our revenue recognition but an increase in the lease receivable balance until the deferred rent has been repaid. For qualifying lease modifications that include rent abatement concessions, this results in a direct reduction of rental income in the current period. As of June 30, 2020, we have entered into rent deferral agreements related to the COVID-19 pandemic representing approximately $16 million of rent otherwise owed during the months of April through June 2020, and are currently in negotiations with other tenants. 

When collection of substantially all lease payments during the lease term is not considered probable, total lease revenue is limited to the lesser of revenue recognized under accrual accounting or cash received. Determining the probability of collection of substantially all lease payments during a lease term requires significant judgment. This determination is impacted by numerous factors including our assessment of the tenant’s credit worthiness, economic conditions, tenant sales productivity in that location, historical experience with the tenant and tenants operating in the same industry, future prospects for the tenant and the industry in which it operates, and the length of the lease term. If leases currently classified as probable are subsequently reclassified as not probable, any outstanding lease receivables (including straight-line rent receivables) would be written-off with a corresponding decrease in rental income.

The actions taken by federal, state and local governments to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, initially by ordering closures of non-essential businesses and ordering residents to generally stay at home, and subsequent phased re-openings have resulted in many of our tenants temporarily or even permanently closing their businesses, and for some, it had impacted their ability to pay rent. As a result, we revised our collectibility assumptions for many of our tenants most significantly impacted by COVID-19. Accordingly, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized collectibility related adjustments of $55.2 million. This includes changes in our collectibility assessments from probable to not probable, disputed rents, and any rent abatements, as well as the write-off of $9.4 million of straight-line rent receivables primarily related to tenants changed to a cash basis of revenue recognition in the quarter ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the revenue from approximately 32% of our tenants (based on total commercial leases) is being recognized on a cash basis. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our straight-line rent receivables balance was $100.7 million and $100.3 million, respectively, and is included in "accounts and notes receivable, net" on our consolidated balance sheet.

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Standard	Description	Effect on the financial statements or significant matters
Adopted on January 1, 2020:
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and related updates: ASU 2016-13, June   2016, Financial   Instruments - Credit   Losses (Topic 326) ASU 2018-19,   November 2018,   Codification improvements to   Topic 326,   Financial   Instruments - Credit   Losses	This ASU changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, requiring the use of an "expected credit loss" model and adding more disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-19 clarifies that impairment of of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases.	Upon adoption of this standard, we recorded expected losses of $0.5 million in opening accumulated dividends in excess of net income. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded additional expected losses of $0.4 million, which are included in rental expenses.
ASU 2018-15, August 2018, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software: Customers Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract	This ASU requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (i.e. hosting arrangement) that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. Capitalized implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement. Entities will expense costs during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages as they are incurred. The guidance can be applied prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively in accordance with ASC 250-10-45-5 through ASC 250-10-45-10.	The adoption of this standard does not have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Issued in 2020:
ASU 2020-04, March 2020, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)	This ASU provides companies with optional practical expedients to ease the accounting burden for contract modifications associated with transitioning away from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates that are expected to be discontinued as part of reference rate reform. For hedges, the guidance generally allows changes to the reference rate and other critical terms without having to de-designate the hedging relationship, as well as allows the shortcut method to continue to be applied. For contract modifications, changes in the reference rate or other critical terms will be treated as a continuation of the prior contract. This guidance can be applied immediately, however, is generally only available through December 31, 2022.	We are still evaluating the impact of reference rate reform and whether we will apply any of these practical expedients.

REAL ESTATE

On January 10, 2020, we acquired a 49,000 square foot shopping center in Fairfax, Virginia for $22.3 million. This property is adjacent to, and will be operated as part of our Fairfax Junction property. This purchase price was paid with a combination of cash and the issuance of 163,322 downREIT operating partnership units. Approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively.

On February 12, 2020, we acquired two buildings totaling 12,000 square feet in Hoboken, New Jersey for $14.3 million, including the assumption of $8.9 million of mortgage debt. This acquisition is in addition to the 37 buildings previously acquired, and was completed through the joint venture that was formed in 2019, for which we own a 90% interest. Less than $0.1 million and approximately $3.3 million of net assets acquired were allocated to other assets for "above market leases," and other liabilities for "below market leases," respectively.

On April 21, 2020, we sold a building in Pasadena, California for $16.1 million, which resulted in a gain of $11.7 million.

DEBT

DEBT

In connection with the two buildings we acquired in Hoboken, New Jersey on February 12, 2020, we assumed two mortgage loans with a net face amount of $8.9 million and a fair value of $9.0 million. The mortgage loans bear interest at 4.00% and mature on July 27, 2027.

In March 2020, in order to strengthen our financial position and balance sheet, to maximize our liquidity, and to provide maximum financial flexibility to continue our business initiatives as the effects of COVID-19 continue to evolve, we borrowed $990.0 million under our revolving credit facility, representing a draw-down of almost the entirety of our $1.0 billion revolving credit facility. This amount was subsequently repaid when we entered into a $400.0 million unsecured term loan on May 6, 2020 and issued $700.0 million of fixed rate unsecured senior notes on May 11, 2020.

The unsecured term loan matures on May 6, 2021, plus one twelve month extension at our option, and bears interest at LIBOR plus 135 basis points based on our current credit rating. Our net proceeds from this transaction after underwriting fees and other costs were $398.7 million.

The $700.0 million of unsecured senior notes issued in May 2020 comprise a $300.0 million reopening of our 3.95% senior notes maturing on January 15, 2024 and a $400.0 million issuance of 3.50% senior notes maturing on June 1, 2030. The 3.95% senior notes were offered at 103.257% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 2.944%, and have the same terms and are of the same series as the $300.0 million senior notes issued on December 9, 2013. The 3.50% senior notes were offered at 98.911% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.630%. Our net proceeds from these transactions after the net issuance premium, underwriting fees, and other costs were $700.1 million.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility was $990.0 million, and the weighted average interest rate, before amortization of debt fees, was 1.4% and 1.5% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, respectively. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the weighted average borrowings outstanding were $413.2 million and $278.5 million, respectively, with no outstanding balance at June 30, 2020. Our revolving credit facility, term loan, and certain notes require us to comply with various financial covenants, including the maintenance of minimum shareholders' equity and debt coverage ratios and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. As of June 30, 2020, we were in compliance with all default related debt covenants.

Fair Value Disclosures [Abstract]

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS

Except as disclosed below, the carrying amount of our financial instruments approximates their fair value. The fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable and senior notes and debentures is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Quoted market prices (Level 1) were used to estimate the fair value of our marketable senior notes and debentures and discounted cash flow analysis (Level 2) is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable and senior notes and debentures is as follows:

	June 30, 2020				December 31, 2019
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Mortgages and notes payable	$	953,511	$	947,030	$	549,460	$	562,049
Senior notes and debentures	$	3,508,461	$	3,754,061	$	2,807,134	$	3,001,216

As of June 30, 2020, we have two interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts of $56.5 million that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The interest rate swap agreements fix the interest rate on $56.5 million of mortgage payables at 3.67% through December 15, 2029. The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are based on the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and interest rate related observable inputs. The fair value of our swaps at June 30, 2020 was a liability of $6.1 million and is included in "other liabilities and deferred credits" on our consolidated balance sheet. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, the value of our interest rate swaps decreased $0.5 million and $6.2 million, respectively (including $0.2 million reclassified from other comprehensive loss to interest expense for both periods). A summary of our financial (liabilities) assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis, by level within the fair value hierarchy is as follows:

One of our equity method investees has two interest rate swaps which qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, our share of the change in fair value of the related swaps included in "accumulated other comprehensive loss" was an increase of less than $0.1 million and a decrease of $0.8 million, respectively.

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We are sometimes involved in lawsuits, warranty claims, and environmental matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.

We are currently a party to various legal proceedings. We accrue a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, we accrue the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. We do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Also under our leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify us from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against us (1) as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant, and (2) where appropriate, due to certain matters relating to the ownership of the properties prior to their acquisition by us.

Under the terms of certain partnership agreements, the partners have the right to exchange their operating partnership units for cash or common shares, at our option. A total of 744,617 downREIT operating partnership units are outstanding which have a total fair value of approximately $63.4 million, which is calculated by multiplying the outstanding number of downREIT partnership units by our closing stock price on June 30, 2020.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

EARNINGS PER SHARE

EARNINGS PER SHARE

We have calculated earnings per share (“EPS”) under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation methodology whereby EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities is calculated according to dividends declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, we had 0.2 million weighted average unvested shares outstanding, which are considered participating securities. Therefore, we have allocated our earnings for basic and diluted EPS between common shares and unvested shares; the portion of earnings allocated to the unvested shares is reflected as “earnings allocated to unvested shares” in the reconciliation below.

In the dilutive EPS calculation, dilutive stock options were calculated using the treasury stock method consistent with prior periods. There were 682 anti-dilutive stock options for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019. The conversions of downREIT operating partnership units and 5.417% Series 1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares are anti-dilutive for all periods presented and accordingly, have been excluded from the weighted average common shares used to compute diluted EPS.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (Policy)

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of presentation

The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2019, which has been derived from audited financial statements, and unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (GAAP) have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

Principles of Consolidation

Principles of Consolidation

Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust, its corporate subsidiaries, and all entities in which the Trust has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The equity interests of other investors are reflected as noncontrolling interests or redeemable noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. We account for our interests in joint ventures, which we do not control, using the equity method of accounting.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as “GAAP,” requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

Our leases with our tenants are classified as operating leases. When collection of substantially all lease payments during the lease term is considered probable, the lease qualifies for accrual accounting. Lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis from the point in time when the tenant controls the space through the term of the related lease. Variable lease payments relating to percentage rent are recognized at the end of the lease year or earlier if we have determined the required sales level is achieved. Real estate tax and other cost reimbursements are recognized on an accrual basis over the periods in which the related

expenditures are incurred. For a tenant to terminate its lease agreement prior to the end of the agreed term, we may require that they pay a fee to cancel the lease agreement. Lease termination fees are generally recognized on the termination date if the tenant has relinquished control of the space. When a lease is terminated early but the tenant continues to control the space under a modified lease agreement, the lease termination fee is generally recognized evenly over the remaining term of the modified lease agreement. Lease concessions (unrelated to the COVID-19 pandemic) are evaluated to determine whether the concession represents a modification of the original lease contract. Modifications generally result in a reassessment of the lease term and lease classification, and remeasurement of lease payments received. Remeasured lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the modified lease contract.

In April 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued interpretive guidance relating to the accounting for lease concessions provided as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic that allows entities to treat the concession as if it was a part of the existing contract instead of applying lease modification accounting. This guidance is only applicable to the COVID-19 pandemic related lease concessions that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. We have elected this option relating to qualifying rent deferral and rent abatement agreements. For qualifying lease modifications with rent deferrals, this results in no change to our revenue recognition but an increase in the lease receivable balance until the deferred rent has been repaid. For qualifying lease modifications that include rent abatement concessions, this results in a direct reduction of rental income in the current period. As of June 30, 2020, we have entered into rent deferral agreements related to the COVID-19 pandemic representing approximately $16 million of rent otherwise owed during the months of April through June 2020, and are currently in negotiations with other tenants. 

When collection of substantially all lease payments during the lease term is not considered probable, total lease revenue is limited to the lesser of revenue recognized under accrual accounting or cash received. Determining the probability of collection of substantially all lease payments during a lease term requires significant judgment. This determination is impacted by numerous factors including our assessment of the tenant’s credit worthiness, economic conditions, tenant sales productivity in that location, historical experience with the tenant and tenants operating in the same industry, future prospects for the tenant and the industry in which it operates, and the length of the lease term. If leases currently classified as probable are subsequently reclassified as not probable, any outstanding lease receivables (including straight-line rent receivables) would be written-off with a corresponding decrease in rental income.

The actions taken by federal, state and local governments to mitigate the spread of COVID-19, initially by ordering closures of non-essential businesses and ordering residents to generally stay at home, and subsequent phased re-openings have resulted in many of our tenants temporarily or even permanently closing their businesses, and for some, it had impacted their ability to pay rent. As a result, we revised our collectibility assumptions for many of our tenants most significantly impacted by COVID-19. Accordingly, during the three months ended June 30, 2020, we recognized collectibility related adjustments of $55.2 million. This includes changes in our collectibility assessments from probable to not probable, disputed rents, and any rent abatements, as well as the write-off of $9.4 million of straight-line rent receivables primarily related to tenants changed to a cash basis of revenue recognition in the quarter ended June 30, 2020. As of June 30, 2020, the revenue from approximately 32% of our tenants (based on total commercial leases) is being recognized on a cash basis. As of June 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, our straight-line rent receivables balance was $100.7 million and $100.3 million, respectively, and is included in "accounts and notes receivable, net" on our consolidated balance sheet.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Recently Adopted and Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Standard	Description	Effect on the financial statements or significant matters
Adopted on January 1, 2020:
Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (Topic 326) and related updates: ASU 2016-13, June   2016, Financial   Instruments - Credit   Losses (Topic 326) ASU 2018-19,   November 2018,   Codification improvements to   Topic 326,   Financial   Instruments - Credit   Losses	This ASU changes the impairment model for most financial assets and certain other instruments, requiring the use of an "expected credit loss" model and adding more disclosure requirements. ASU 2018-19 clarifies that impairment of of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases.	Upon adoption of this standard, we recorded expected losses of $0.5 million in opening accumulated dividends in excess of net income. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we recorded additional expected losses of $0.4 million, which are included in rental expenses.
ASU 2018-15, August 2018, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other Internal Use Software: Customers Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That Is a Service Contract	This ASU requires a customer in a cloud computing arrangement (i.e. hosting arrangement) that is a service contract to follow the internal-use software guidance in ASC 350-40 to determine which implementation costs to capitalize as assets. Capitalized implementation costs related to a hosting arrangement that is a service contract will be amortized over the term of the hosting arrangement. Entities will expense costs during the preliminary project and post-implementation stages as they are incurred. The guidance can be applied prospectively to all implementation costs incurred after the date of adoption or retrospectively in accordance with ASC 250-10-45-5 through ASC 250-10-45-10.	The adoption of this standard does not have a significant impact to our consolidated financial statements.
Issued in 2020:
ASU 2020-04, March 2020, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)	This ASU provides companies with optional practical expedients to ease the accounting burden for contract modifications associated with transitioning away from LIBOR and other interbank offered rates that are expected to be discontinued as part of reference rate reform. For hedges, the guidance generally allows changes to the reference rate and other critical terms without having to de-designate the hedging relationship, as well as allows the shortcut method to continue to be applied. For contract modifications, changes in the reference rate or other critical terms will be treated as a continuation of the prior contract. This guidance can be applied immediately, however, is generally only available through December 31, 2022.	We are still evaluating the impact of reference rate reform and whether we will apply any of these practical expedients.
