Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on Revenue and Receivables

Beginning in March 2020, the retail sector was significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic.  Though the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on tenant operations varied by tenant category, local conditions and applicable government mandates, a significant number of the Company’s tenants experienced a reduction in sales and foot traffic, and many tenants were forced to limit their operations or close their businesses for a period of time, primarily in 2020.  The COVID-19 pandemic also had a significant impact on the Company’s collection of rents from April 2020 through the end of 2020.  The Company engaged in discussions with most of its larger tenants that failed to satisfy all or a portion of their rent obligations and agreed to terms on rent-deferral arrangements (and, in a small number of cases, rent abatements) and other lease modifications with a significant number of such tenants.  As of September 30, 2021, $1.7 million remains outstanding under these deferral arrangements for tenants that are not accounted for on the cash basis.    

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company recorded net uncollectible revenue that resulted in rental income of $1.1 million and $8.3 million, respectively (the Company’s share of unconsolidated joint ventures was $0.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively), primarily due to rental income paid in 2021 related to outstanding amounts owed for 2020 from tenants on the cash basis of accounting.  

For those tenants where the Company is unable to assert that collection of amounts due over the lease term is probable, regardless if the Company has entered into a deferral agreement to extend the payment terms, the Company has categorized these tenants on the cash basis of accounting.  As a result, all existing accounts receivable relating to these tenants have been reserved in full, including straight-line rental income, and no rental income is recognized from such tenants once they have been placed on the cash basis of accounting until payments are received.  The Company will remove the cash basis designation and resume recording rental income from such tenants on a straight-line basis at such time it believes collection from the tenants is probable based upon a demonstrated payment history, improved liquidity, the addition of credit-worthy guarantors or a recapitalization event.
