SPECIAL NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

Certain statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Report”) may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations are generally identifiable by use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend” or “project,” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial performance to be materially different from future results and financial performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: (i) economic, political and social uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, including (a) the effectiveness or lack of effectiveness of governmental relief in providing assistance to large and small businesses, including the Company’s tenants, that have suffered significant declines in revenues as a result of mandatory business shut-downs, “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing practices, as well as individuals adversely impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, (b) the duration of any such orders or other formal recommendations for social distancing and the speed and extent to which revenues of the Company’s retail tenants recover following the lifting of any such orders or recommendations, (c) the potential impact of any such events on the obligations of the Company’s tenants to make rent and other payments or honor other commitments under existing leases, (d) to the extent we were seeking to sell properties in the near term, significantly greater uncertainty regarding our ability to do so at attractive prices, (e) the potential adverse impact on returns from development and redevelopment projects, and (f) the broader impact of the severe economic contraction and increase in unemployment that has occurred in the short term and negative consequences that will occur if these trends are not quickly reversed; (ii) the ability and willingness of the Company’s tenants (in particular its major tenants) and other third parties to satisfy their obligations under their respective contractual arrangements with the Company; (iii) macroeconomic conditions, such as a disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets; (iv) the Company’s success in implementing its business strategy and its ability to identify, underwrite, finance, consummate and integrate diversifying acquisitions and investments; (v) changes in general economic conditions or economic conditions in the markets in which the Company may, from time to time, compete, and their effect on the Company’s revenues, earnings and funding sources; (vi) increases in the Company’s borrowing costs as a result of changes in interest rates and other factors, including the potential phasing out of the London Interbank Offered Rate after 2021; (vii) the Company’s ability to pay down, refinance, restructure or extend its indebtedness as it becomes due; (viii) the Company’s investments in joint ventures and unconsolidated entities, including its lack of sole decision-making authority and its reliance on its joint venture partners’ financial condition; (ix) the Company’s ability to obtain the financial results expected from its development and redevelopment projects; (x) the ability and willingness of the Company’s tenants to renew their leases with the Company upon expiration, the Company’s ability to re-lease its properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event the Company exercises its right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations the Company may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant; (xi) the Company’s liability for environmental matters; (xii) damage to the Company’s properties from catastrophic weather and other natural events, and the physical effects of climate change; (xiii) uninsured losses; (xiv) the Company’s ability and willingness to maintain its qualification as a REIT in light of economic, market, legal, tax and other considerations; (xv) information technology security breaches, including increased cybersecurity risks relating to the use of remote technology during the COVID-19 pandemic; and (xvi) the loss of key executives.

The factors described above are not exhaustive and additional factors could adversely affect the Company’s future results and financial performance, including the risk factors discussed under the section captioned “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, and other periodic or current reports the Company files with the SEC, including those set forth under the headings “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Report. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements contained herein to reflect any change in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or change in the events, conditions or circumstances on which such forward-looking statements are based.

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Acadia Realty Trust (collectively with its subsidiaries, the “Company”) is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on the ownership, acquisition, development, and management of retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply-constrained, densely-populated metropolitan areas in the United States.

All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company controlled approximately 94% and 95%, respectively, of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner and is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”) and employees who have been awarded restricted Common OP Units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 13). Limited partners holding Common OP and LTIP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest of the Company (“Common Shares”). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”

As of March 31, 2020, the Company has ownership interests in 131 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through its funds (“Core Portfolio”). The Company also has ownership interests in 57 properties within its opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (“Fund IV”), and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund V LLC (“Fund V” and, collectively with Fund II, Fund III and Fund IV, the “Funds”). The 188 Core Portfolio and Fund properties primarily consist of street and urban retail, and suburban shopping centers. In addition, the Company, together with the investors in the Funds, invested in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors I, LLC (“Mervyns I,” which was liquidated in 2018) and Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”), all on a non-recourse basis. The Company consolidates the Funds as it has (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the Funds’ economic performance, (ii) is obligated to absorb the Funds’ losses and (iii) has the right to receive benefits from the Funds that could potentially be significant.

The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Funds and Mervyns II and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, development, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Funds and Mervyns II are distributed pro-rata to their respective partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a certain cumulative return (“Preferred Return”) and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership (“Promote”) and 80% to the partners or members (including the Operating Partnership). All transactions between the Funds and the Operating Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation.

Basis of Presentation

Segments

At March 31, 2020, the Company had three reportable operating segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing. The Company’s chief operating decision maker may review operational and financial data on a property-level basis and does not differentiate properties on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or capital. 

Principles of Consolidation

The interim consolidated financial statements include the consolidated accounts of the Company and its investments in partnerships and limited liability companies in which the Company has control in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 810 “Consolidation” (“ASC Topic 810”). The ownership interests of other investors in these entities are recorded as noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in entities for which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence over, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or losses) of these entities are included in consolidated net income or loss.

The interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The information furnished in the accompanying consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items, with the exception of adjustments due to the adoption of new credit loss standard and impairment.

These interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on February 21, 2020.

Use of Estimates

GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Credit Losses

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. ASU 2016-13 introduced a new model for estimating credit losses for certain types of financial instruments, including loans receivable, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in direct financing leases, amongst other financial instruments. ASU 2016-13 also modified the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and expands the disclosure requirements regarding an entity’s assumptions, models, and methods for estimating the allowance for losses.

In May 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326) which provided relief to certain entities adopting ASU 2016-13. The amendments accomplish those objectives by providing entities with an option to irrevocably elect the fair value option in Subtopic 825-10, applied on an instrument-by-instrument basis for eligible instruments, that are within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, upon adoption of Topic 326. The fair value option election does not apply to held-to-maturity debt securities, therefore, the Company did not elect to apply this option.

ASU 2016-13, and its related ASUs have been adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2020. Retrospective adjustments were applied through a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings. Upon implementation of ASU 2016-13 and other related guidance, the Company recorded loan loss reserves related to its Structured Financing portfolio (Note 3) of $0.4 million with a cumulative effect adjustment to distributions in excess of accumulated earnings. The Company recorded credit loss reserves of $0.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020. Effective January 1, 2020, the Company has implemented a new methodology for computing credit losses for its Structured

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

Financing portfolio under ASC 326 (as further described in Note 3), however, the Company has not made any changes to its accounting policies for accounting for credit losses.

In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses. This ASU modifies ASU 2016-13. The amendment clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses – Measure at Amortized Cost. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with Topic 842, Leases. ASU 2018-19 was adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2020. The Company already accounted for its lease receivables utilizing the guidance of ASC 842 and did not make any adjustments related to the implementation of ASU 2018-19.

Other Guidance

In April 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, which provides updates and clarifications to three previously-issued ASUs: 2016-01 Financial Instruments — Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities; 2016-13 Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, described above; and 2017-12 Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities, which the Company early adopted effective January 1, 2018. The updates related to ASU 2019-04 were adopted by the Company effective January 1, 2020 with no material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Disclosure Framework — Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement which removes, modifies, and adds certain disclosure requirements related to fair value measurements in ASC 820. This guidance was adopted on January 1, 2020.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-03, Codification Improvements to Financial Instruments. The amendments in this Update represent changes to clarify or improve the Codification, were adopted effective January 1, 2020 and did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848)—Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting. The amendments in this Update apply only to contracts, hedging relationships, and other transactions that reference LIBOR or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform. Effective in the first quarter of 2020, the Company has elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation and does not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740) Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes. The amendments in this Update provide guidance for interim period and intra period tax accounting; provide tax accounting guidance for foreign subsidiaries; require that an entity recognize a franchise (or similar) tax that is partially based on income as an income-based tax and account for any incremental amount incurred as a non-income-based tax; as well as other changes to tax accounting. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. As a REIT, the Company usually does not have significant income taxes. Accordingly, the implementation of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

In January 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2020-01 Investments—Equity securities (Topic 321), Investments—Equity Method and Joint Ventures (Topic 323), and Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815)—Clarifying the Interactions Between Topic 321, Topic 323, and Topic 815. The amendments in this Update affect all entities that apply the guidance in Topics 321, 323, and 815 and (i) elect to apply the measurement alternative or (ii) enter into a forward contract or purchase an option to purchase securities that, upon settlement of the forward contract or exercise of the purchased option, would be accounted for under the equity method of accounting. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. Currently, the Company does not apply the measurement alternative and does not have any such forward contracts or purchase options. As a result, the implementation of this guidance is not expected to have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

On April 8, 2020, the FASB issued a position allowing for reporting entities to make an accounting policy election to account for lease concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 (Note 15) consistent with how those concessions would be accounted for under Topic 842, which is as though the enforceable rights and obligations for those concessions existed regardless of whether those enforceable rights and obligations for

the concessions explicitly exist in the contract. This election is available for concessions that result in the total cash flows required by the modified contract being substantially the same or less than total cash flows required by the original contract. The Company did not make any concessions during the three months ended March 31, 2020. The Company believes it is reasonably possible that it will grant concessions during subsequent periods at which time it will consider making this policy election.

(a)

Includes two notes receivable from OP Unit holders, which are collateralized by their OP Units, with balances totaling $6.5 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

(b)

Includes $38.7 million for the Brandywine Note Receivable, which is collateralized by the remaining 24.78% undivided interest in Town Center (Note 4). On April 1, 2020, this note was converted to the remaining interest in Town Center (Note 15).

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company:

 

 

recorded credit loss reserves of $0.4 million upon the adoption of ASC 326 (Note 1);

 

increased the balance of a Fund II note receivable by the interest accrued of $0.1 million;

 

made a loan for $54.0 million with an interest rate of 9% structured as a redeemable preferred equity investment in a property at 850 Third Avenue in Brooklyn, NY;

 

issued a new Core note for $5.0 million with an interest rate of 8% collateralized by our partner’s 50% share of the LUF Portfolio (Note 4) in Washington, D.C.; and

 

recorded additional credit loss reserves of $0.5 million related to new transactions and recent market volatility.

 

One Core note aggregating $21.0 million including accrued interest (exclusive of default interest and other amounts due on the loan) was in default at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. On April 1, 2020, the loan matured and was not repaid. The Company has reserved all of its rights and remedies under the applicable loan documents and otherwise with respect to the borrower and guarantor. The Company believes that the collateral is sufficient to cover all indebtedness to which it is owed on the loan.  

 

During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company:

 

 

redeemed its $15.3 million Fund IV investment plus accrued interest of $10.0 million;

 

provided seller financing to the buyer in the amount of $13.5 million with an effective interest rate of 5.1%, collateralized by Pacesetter Park, in connection with the sale of the property (Note 2);

 

funded an additional $4.3 million on a Core note receivable from an OP Unit holder;

 

increased the balance of a Fund II note receivable by the interest accrued of $0.4 million;

 

stopped accruing interest on one Fund III loan, due to the estimated market value of the collateral. The note had $4.7 million of accrued interest at each of December 31, 2018 and December 31, 2019 and was guaranteed by a third party;

 

extended the maturity for a Core note receivable to June 20, 2020 (Note 15); and

 

modified one Core loan to defer $0.4 million of interest until maturity. Subsequent to modification, the first mortgage, which aggregated $20.8 million including accrued interest, was in default as of December 31, 2019.

 

With the exception of new notes that originated in 2019 and 2020 as disclosed above, no notes were issued in the last three years.

 

The Company monitors the credit quality of its notes receivable on an ongoing basis and considers indicators of credit quality such as loan payment activity, the estimated fair value of the underlying collateral, the seniority of the Company’s loan in relation to other debt secured by the collateral and the prospects of the borrower.

Earnings from these notes and mortgages receivable are reported within the Company’s Structured Financing segment (Note 12).

The Company’s estimated reserve for credit losses related to its Structured Financing segment has been computed for its amortized cost basis in the portfolio, including accrued interest (Note 5), factoring historical loss experience in the United Sates for similar loans, as adjusted for current conditions, as well as the Company’s expectations related to future economic conditions. Due to the lack of comparability across the Structured Financing portfolio, each loan was evaluated separately. As a result, for non-collateral dependent loans with a total amortized cost of $90.3 million, inclusive of accrued interest of $6.0 million, credit loss reserves have been recorded aggregating $0.9 million at March 31, 2020. For certain loans in this portfolio, aggregating $95.0 million, inclusive of accrued interest of $5.2 million, at March 31, 2020, there has been no credit loss reserve established because (i) these loans are collateral-dependent loans, which due to their settlement terms are not expected to be settled in cash but rather by the Company’s possession of the real estate collateral; and (ii) at March 31, 2020, the Company believes that the collateral for these three loans was sufficient to cover its investment.

Core Portfolio

Acquisition of Unconsolidated Investments

On January 24, 2019, the Renaissance Portfolio, in which the Company owns a 20% noncontrolling interest, acquired a 7,300 square-foot property, Fund III’s 3104 M Street property located in Washington, D.C., for $10.7 million (Note 2) less the assumption of the outstanding mortgage of $4.7 million.

On August 8, 2019, the Company invested $1.8 million in Fifth Wall Ventures Retail Fund, L.P. During the first quarter 2020, the Company invested another $0.2 million. The Company’s total commitment is $5.0 million. The Company accounts for its interest at cost less impairment given its ownership is less than five percent, the investment has no readily determinable fair value, and the Company has virtually no influence over the partnership’s operating and financial policies. At March 31, 2020, the Company’s investment was $2.0 million.

On May 2, 2019, the Company acquired a ground lease interest at 1238 Wisconsin Avenue in Washington, D.C. (“1238 Wisconsin”). Prior to the fourth quarter of 2019, the Company had a controlling interest, and therefore consolidated the property within the Company’s financial statements. During December 2019, the Company entered into an operating agreement in order to admit a co-investor and property manager, who was also appointed the development manager under a separate agreement. As a result of these transactions and the significant participation rights of the co-investor, the Company de-consolidated 1238 Wisconsin and accounted for its interest under the equity method of accounting effective October 1, 2019 as it does not control but exercises significant influence over the investment. No gain or loss was recognized as the Company’s investment approximated fair value at the time of de-consolidation.

Brandywine Portfolio, Market Square and Town Center

The Company owns an interest in an approximately one million square foot retail portfolio (the “Brandywine Portfolio” joint venture) located in Wilmington, Delaware, which includes two properties referred to as “Market Square” and “Town Center.” Prior to the second quarter of 2016, the Company had a controlling interest in the Brandywine Portfolio, and it was therefore consolidated within the Company’s financial statements. During April 2016, the arrangement with the partners of the Brandywine Portfolio was modified to change the legal ownership from a partnership to a tenancy-in-common interest, as well as to provide certain participating rights to the outside partners. As a result of these modifications, the Company de-consolidated the Brandywine Portfolio and accounted for its interest under the equity method of accounting effective May 1, 2016. Furthermore, as the owners of the Brandywine Portfolio had consistent ownership interests before and after the modification and the underlying net assets were unchanged, the Company reflected the change from consolidation to equity method based upon its historical cost. The Brandywine Portfolio and Market Square ventures do not include the property held by Acadia Brandywine Holdings, LLC (“Brandywine Holdings”), an entity in which the Company has a 22.22% interest and which is consolidated by the Company.

Additionally, in April 2016, the Company repaid the outstanding balance of $140.0 million of non-recourse debt collateralized by the Brandywine Portfolio and provided a note receivable collateralized by the partners’ tenancy-in-common interest in the Brandywine Portfolio for their proportionate share of the repayment. On May 1, 2017, the Company exchanged $16.0 million of the $153.4 million notes receivable (the “Brandywine Notes Receivable”) (Note 3) plus accrued interest of $0.3 million for one of the partner’s 38.89% tenancy-in-common interests in Market Square. The Company already had a 22.22% interest in Market Square and continued to apply the equity method of accounting for its aggregate 61.11% noncontrolling interest in Market Square and its 22.22% interest in Town Center through November 16, 2017. The incremental investment in Market Square was recorded at $16.3 million and the excess of this amount over the venture’s book value associated with this interest, or $9.8 million, was being amortized over the remaining depreciable lives of the venture’s assets through November 16, 2017. On November 16, 2017, the Company exchanged an additional $16.0 million of Brandywine Notes Receivable plus accrued interest of $0.6 million for the remaining 38.89% interest in Market Square, thereby obtaining a 100% controlling interest in the property. The exchange was deemed to be a business combination and as a result, the property was consolidated and a gain on change of control of $5.6 million was recorded (Note 2).

On November 16, 2017, the Company exchanged $60.7 million of the Brandywine Notes Receivable plus accrued interest of $0.9 million for one of the partner’s 38.89% tenancy-in-common interests in Town Center. The incremental investment in Town Center was recorded at $61.6 million and the excess of this amount over the venture’s book value associated with this interest, or $34.5 million, is being amortized over the remaining depreciable lives of the venture’s assets. The Company previously had a 22.22% interest in Town Center which then became 61.11% following the November 2017 transaction.

On March 28, 2018, the Company exchanged $22.0 million of its Brandywine Notes Receivable plus accrued interest of $0.3 million for one of the partner’s 14.11% tenancy-in-common interests in Town Center. The incremental investment in Town Center was recorded at $ 22.3 million and the excess of this amount over the venture’s book value associated with this interest, or $12.7 million, is being amortized over the remaining depreciable lives of the venture’s assets. The Company continued to apply the equity method of accounting for its aggregate 75.22% noncontrolling interest in Town Center after the March 2018 transaction.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

At March 31, 2020, $38.7 million of the Brandywine Note Receivable remained outstanding (Note 3), which was collateralized by the remaining 24.78% undivided interest in Town Center. On April 1, 2020, this note was converted to the remaining interest in Town Center (Note 15).

Fund Investments

Acquisitions of Unconsolidated Investments

On March 19, 2019, Fund V obtained an 99.35% interest in a joint venture which in turn obtained a 90% undivided interest in the property and invested in a 428,000 square-foot property located in Riverdale, Utah referred to as “Family Center at Riverdale” for $48.5 million. The property is held by the venture as a tenancy in common. The Company accounts for its interest in the Family Center at Riverdale under the equity method of accounting as it does not control but exercises significant influence over the investment.

On April 30, 2019, Fund V acquired a 90% interest in a venture which invested in a 300,000 square-foot property located in Vernon, Connecticut referred to as “Tri-City Plaza” for $36.7 million. The Company accounts for its interest in Tri-City Plaza under the equity method of accounting as it does not control but exercises significant influence over the investment.

On August 21, 2019, Fund V acquired a 90% interest in a venture which invested in a 225,000 square foot property and a 300,000 square foot property, both located in Frederick County, Maryland collectively referred to as the “Frederick County Acquisitions” for $21.8 million and $33.1 million, respectively.  The Company accounts for its interest in the Washington REIT Portfolio under the equity method of accounting as it does not control but exercises significant influence over the investment.

Broughton Street Portfolio

During 2014, Fund IV acquired 50% interests in two joint ventures referred to as “BSP I” and “BSP II” with the same venture partner to acquire and operate a total of 23 properties in Savannah, Georgia referred to as the “Broughton Street Portfolio.” Since that time, as described below, the ventures have sold eight of the properties and terminated the master leases on two of the properties. In October 2018, the venture partner relinquished its interest in BSP I resulting in Fund IV becoming the 100% owner of the BSP I venture, which holds 11 consolidated properties (Note 2). Fund IV accounted for this transaction as an asset purchase at fair value whereby its existing preferred and common interests were deemed consideration for the properties and no gain or loss was recognized. At March 31, 2020, the Broughton Street portfolio had 13 remaining properties, two of which are unconsolidated and are held within the BSP II venture.

Storage Post

On June 29, 2019, Fund III’s Storage Post venture, which is a cost-method investment with no carrying value, distributed $1.6 million of which the Operating Partnership’s share was $0.4 million.

Credit Facility

On February 20, 2018, the Company entered into a $500.0 million senior unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), comprised of a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) which bears interest at LIBOR + 1.35%, and a $350.0 million senior unsecured term loan (the “Term Loan”) which bears interest at LIBOR + 1.25%.

On October 8, 2019, the Company modified the Credit Facility, which provided for a $100.0 million increase in the Revolver. This amendment resulted in borrowing capacity of up to $600.0 million in principal amount, which includes a $250.0 million revolving credit facility maturing on March 31, 2022, subject to an extension option, and a $350.0 million Term Loan expiring on March 31, 2023. In addition, the amendment provides for revisions to the accordion feature, which allows for one or more increases in the revolving credit facility or term loan facility, for a maximum aggregate principal amount not to exceed $750.0 million.  

Mortgages Payable

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company:

 

extended two Fund IV loans through February and March 2021;

 

entered into two swap agreements each with notional values of $50.0 million, which are not effective until April 2022 and April 2023 (Note 8); and

 

made scheduled principal payments of $1.5 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2019 the Company:

 

obtained one new Fund II construction loan, three new Fund IV mortgages and five new Fund V mortgages totaling $258.9 million with a weighted-average interest rate of LIBOR + 1.70% collateralized by nine properties and maturing in 2022 through 2024;

 

refinanced three mortgages with existing balances totaling $69.0 million at a weighted-average rate of LIBOR + 2.08% and maturities ranging from May 2019 to January 2021 with new mortgages totaling $71.8 million with a weighted-average rate of LIBOR + 1.86% and maturities ranging from April 2022 through December 2024;

 

transferred a Fund III mortgage with a balance of $4.7 million and an interest rate of Prime + 0.5% which was assumed by the purchasing venture in a property sale (Note 2). The Company repaid one Fund III loan in the amount of $9.8 million and two Fund IV loans in the aggregate amount of $18.4 million in connection with the sale of the properties. The Company also repaid a Fund IV loan in full, which had a balance of $38.2 million and an interest rate of LIBOR + 2.35%. The Company also made scheduled principal payments of $5.9 million;

 

modified three loans with prior borrowing capacity totaling $135.9 million at a weighted-average rate of LIBOR + 3.65% and maturities ranging from November 2019 through January 2020 by obtaining new commitments totaling $125.3 million with a weighted-average rate of LIBOR + 2.96% and maturities ranging from December 2020 through May 2021; and

 

entered into interest rate swap contracts to effectively fix the variable portion of the interest rates of all nine new obligations and two of the refinanced obligations with a notional value of $283.6 million at a weighted-average interest rate of 1.78%.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s mortgages were collateralized by 44 properties and the related tenant leases. Certain loans are cross-collateralized and contain cross-default provisions. The loan agreements contain customary representations, covenants and events of default. Certain loan agreements require the Company to comply with affirmative and negative covenants, including the maintenance of debt service coverage and leverage ratios. The Company is not in default of its loan agreements, except as noted below. A portion of the Company’s variable-rate mortgage debt has been effectively fixed through certain cash flow hedge transactions (Note 8).

The mortgage loan collateralized by the property held by Brandywine Holdings in the Core Portfolio, was in default and subject to litigation at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The loan was originated in June 2006 and had an original principal amount of $26.3 million and a scheduled maturity of July 1, 2016. By maturity, the loan was in default. The loan bears interest at a stated rate of approximately 6% and is subject to additional default interest of 5%. In April 2017, the successor to the original lender, Wilmington – 5190 Brandywine Parkway, LLC (the “Successor Lender”), initiated lawsuits against Brandywine Holdings in Delaware Superior Court and Delaware Court of Chancery, for among other things, judgment on the note (the “Note Complaint”) and foreclosure on the property. In a contemporaneously filed action in Delaware Superior Court (the “Guaranty Complaint”), the Successor Lender initiated a lawsuit against the Operating Partnership as guarantor of certain guaranteed obligations of Brandywine Holdings set forth in a non-recourse carve-out guaranty executed by the Operating Partnership. The Guaranty Complaint alleges that the Operating Partnership is liable for the original principal, accrued interest, default interest, late charges as well as fees, costs and protective advances, under the Brandywine Loan, which the Successor Lender alleges totaled approximately $33.0 million as of November 9, 2017 (exclusive of accruing interest, default interest, late charges, and fees and costs). In August 2019, the Delaware Superior Court

heard arguments on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgement regarding both the Guaranty Complaint and the Note Complaint. On February 7, 2020, the Delaware Superior Court granted in part the Successor Lender’s motion, and denied Brandywine Holdings’ and the Operating Partnership’s cross-motion, for summary judgment, finding that each of Brandywine Holdings and the Operating Partnership have recourse liability under the Brandywine Loan and requesting the parties to contact the Court regarding a hearing of any additional outstanding issues. A final judgment against Brandywine Holdings and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, for an amount certain (including principal, accrued interest, default interest, late charges, as well as fees and costs, in each case calculated to the date of such judgment) on the Guaranty and Note Complaints has not yet been entered by the Delaware Superior Court. The parties are currently in discussion regarding such amount. Brandywine Holdings and the Operating Partnership intend to appeal the ruling after entry of the judgement by the Delaware Superior Court.

During the third quarter of 2019, the company recognized income of $5.0 million related to Fund II’s New Market Tax Credit transaction (“NMTC”) involving its City Point project. NMTCs were created to encourage economic development in low income communities and provided for a 39% tax credit on certain qualifying invested equity/loans. In 2012, the NMTCs were transferred to a group of investors (“Investors”) in exchange for $5.2 million. The NMTCs were subject to recapture under various circumstances, including redemption of the loan/investment prior to a requisite seven-year hold period, and recognition of income was deferred. Upon the expiration of the seven-year period and no further obligations, the Company recognized income of $5.0 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019, of which the Company’s proportionate share was $1.4 million, which is included in Other income in the consolidated statements of income.

Unsecured Notes Payable

Unsecured notes payable for which total availability was $149.1 million and $152.5 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, are comprised of the following:

 

The outstanding balance of the Core term loans was $350.0 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. The Company previously entered into swap agreements fixing the rates of the remaining Core term loan balance.

 

Fund II has a $40.0 million term loan secured by the real estate assets of City Point Phase II and guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. The outstanding balance of the Fund II term loan was $40.0 million at each of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019. There was no availability at each of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019.

 

Fund IV has a $79.2 million bridge facility and a $15.0 million subscription line. The bridge facility is guaranteed by the Operating partnership up to $50.8 million. The outstanding balance and total available credit of the Fund IV bridge facility was $79.2 million and 0.0 million, respectively at each of March 31, 2020 and at December 31, 2019. The outstanding balance and total available credit of the Fund IV subscription line was $8.4 million and $2.5 million, respectively at each of March 31, 2020 and at December 31, 2019, reflecting letters of credit of $4.1 million.

 

Fund V has a $150.0 million subscription line collateralized by Fund V’s unfunded capital commitments, and, to the extent of Acadia’s capital commitments, is guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. The outstanding balance and total available credit of the Fund V subscription line was $3.3 million and $146.7 million, respectively at March 31, 2020. The outstanding balance and total available credit of the Fund V subscription line was $0.0 million and $150.0 million at December 31, 2019, respectively.

Unsecured Revolving Line of Credit

The Company had a total of $64.8 million and $173.6 million available under its $250.0 million Core Revolver, reflecting borrowings of $174.7 million and $60.8 million and letters of credit of $10.5 million and $15.6 million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. At each of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, all of the Core unsecured revolving line of credit was swapped to a fixed rate.

8. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

The fair value of an asset is defined as the exit price, which is the amount that would either be received when an asset is sold or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy based on the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers are: Level 1, for which quoted market prices for identical instruments are available in active markets, such as money market funds, equity securities, and U.S. Treasury securities; Level 2, for which there are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the instrument, such as certain derivative instruments including interest rate caps and interest rate swaps; and Level 3, for financial instruments or other assets/liabilities that do not fall into Level 1 or Level 2 and for which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring the Company to develop its own assumptions.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument. For significant Level 3 items, the Company has also provided the unobservable inputs along with their weighted-average ranges.

Money Market Funds — The Company has money market funds, which are included in Cash and cash equivalents in the consolidated financial statements, are comprised of government securities and/or U.S. Treasury bills. These funds were classified as Level 1 as we used quoted prices from active markets to determine their fair values.

Derivative Assets — The Company has derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net in the consolidated financial statements, and are comprised of interest rate swaps and caps. The derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See “Derivative Financial Instruments,” below.

Derivative Liabilities — The Company has derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable and other liabilities in the consolidated financial statements, and are comprised of interest rate swaps. These derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 because they are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See “Derivative Financial Instruments,” below.

The Company did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or 2019.

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

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis (Including Impairment Charges)

During March of 2020, the Company was impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic (Note 15), which caused the Company to re-evaluate its holding periods and forecasted operating income at certain properties. As a result, several impairments were recorded at Fund assets. Impairment charges for the periods presented are as follows (in thousands):

(a)

Includes two swaps with an aggregate fair value of ($25.4) million and ($11.8) million at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively, which were acquired during July 2018 with a notional value of $125.0 million and are not effective until July 2020. Includes one swap with an aggregate value of ($2.8) million at March 31, 2020, which was acquired during February 2020 with a notional value of $50.0 million and is not effective until April 2023. Includes one swap with an aggregate fair value of ($2.6) million at March 31, 2020, which was acquired during February 2020 with a notional value of $50.0 million and is not effective until April 2023.

 

All of the Company’s derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on variable-rate debt (Note 7). It is estimated that approximately $18.0 million included in accumulated other comprehensive (loss) income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense within the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated hedges.

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, from time to time, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.

29


ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the swaps if the derivative position has a positive balance. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into swaps with major financial institutions. The Company continually monitors and actively manages interest costs on its variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into additional interest rate swap positions or other derivative interest rate instruments based on market conditions. 

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its swap counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, the Company could also be declared in default on its swaps, resulting in an acceleration of payment under the swaps.

(a)

The Company determined the estimated fair value of these financial instruments using a discounted cash flow model with rates that take into account the credit of the borrower or tenant, where applicable, and interest rate risk. The Company also considered the value of the underlying collateral, taking into account the quality of the collateral, the credit quality of the borrower, the time until maturity and the current market interest rate environment.

(b)

Represents Fund II’s cost-method investment in Albertsons’ supermarkets and the Operating Partnership’s cost-method investment in Fifth Wall (Note 4).

(c)

The Company determined the estimated fair value of the unsecured notes payable and unsecured line of credit using quoted market prices in an open market with limited trading volume where available. In cases where there was no trading volume, the Company determined the estimated fair value using a discounted cash flow model using a rate that reflects the average yield of similar market participants.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and certain financial instruments included in other assets and other liabilities had fair values that approximated their carrying values due to their short maturity profiles at March 31, 2020.

9. Commitments and Contingencies

The Company is involved in various matters of litigation arising out of, or incident to, its business, including the litigation described in Note 7. While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the outcome of any particular matter, management does not expect, when such litigation is resolved, that the Company’s resulting exposure to loss contingencies, if any, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position.

Commitments and Guaranties

In conjunction with the development and expansion of various properties, the Company has entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction or development of properties aggregating approximately $37.6million and $41.1 million as of March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

At March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $14.6 million and $19.8 million, respectively. The Company has not recorded any obligation associated with these letters of credit. The majority of the letters of credit are collateral for existing indebtedness and other obligations of the Company.

ATM Program

The Company has an at-the-market equity issuance program (“ATM Program”) which provides the Company an efficient and low-cost vehicle for raising public equity to fund its capital needs. The Company entered into its current $250.0 million ATM Program (which replaced its prior program) in the second quarter of 2019 and also added an optional “forward purchase” component. The Company has not issued any shares on a forward basis during the three months ended March 31, 2020 or for the year ended December 31, 2019. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company sold 5,164,055 Common Shares under its ATM Program for gross proceeds of $147.7 million, or $145.5 million net of issuance costs, at a weighted-average gross price per share of $28.61. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company did not sell any Common Shares under its ATM Program.

Share Repurchase Program

During 2018, the Company’s board of trustees (the “Board”) approved a new share repurchase program, which authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $200.0 million of its outstanding Common Shares. The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of Common Shares and may be discontinued or extended at any time. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the year ended December 31, 2019. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company repurchased 1,219,065 Common Shares for $22.4 million, inclusive of $0.1 million of fees at a weighted average price per share of $18.29, under the share repurchase program, under which $122.6 million remains available as of March 31, 2020.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

In 1999, the Operating Partnership issued 1,580 Series A Preferred OP Units in connection with the acquisition of a property, which have a stated value of $1,000 per unit, and are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of the greater of (i) $22.50 (9% annually) per Series A Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series A Preferred OP Unit if such unit was converted into a Common OP Unit. Through March 31, 2020, 1,392 Series A Preferred OP Units were converted into 185,600 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares. The 188 remaining Series A Preferred OP Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. Either the Company or the holders can currently call for the conversion of the Series A Preferred OP Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date.

During 2016, the Operating Partnership issued 442,478 Common OP Units and 141,593 Series C Preferred OP Units to a third party to acquire Gotham Plaza (Note 4). The Series C Preferred OP Units have a value of $100.00 per unit and are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of $0.9375 per unit and are convertible into Common OP Units at a rate based on the share price at the time of conversion. If the share price is below $28.80 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into 3.4722 Common OP Units. If the share price is between $28.80 and $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into a number of Common OP Units equal to $100.00 divided by the closing share price. If the share price is above $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into 2.8409 Common OP Units. The Series C Preferred OP Units have a mandatory conversion date of December 31, 2025, at which time all units that have not been converted will automatically be converted into Common OP Units based on the same calculations. Through March 31, 2020, 15,000 Series C Preferred OP Units were converted into 51,887 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares.

(a)

Amount represents contractual lease maturities at March 31, 2020. During the end of March, numerous tenants were forced to suspend operations by government mandate as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Company is currently in negotiation with many tenants which may result in rent concessions or deferral of rents billed during April and May 2020 (Note 15).  

(b)

Minimum rental payments include $211.2 million of interest related to leases.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, no single tenant or property collectively comprised more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, business closures in response to the COVID-19 Pandemic in the United States caused numerous tenants to close their businesses in response to government mandates. The Company reassessed its reserves for credit losses with respect to its straight-line rents receivable and recorded a charge of $2.5 million related to estimated future credit losses associated with the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic (Note 15).

12. Segment Reporting

The Company has three reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Funds and Structured Financing. The Company’s Core Portfolio consists primarily of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas with a long-term investment horizon. The Company’s Funds hold primarily retail real estate in which the Company co-invests with high-quality institutional investors. The Company’s Structured Financing segment consists of earnings and expenses related to notes and mortgages receivable which are held within the Core Portfolio or the Funds (Note 3). Fees earned by the Company as the general partner or managing member of the Funds are eliminated in the Company’s consolidated financial statements and are not presented in the Company’s segments.

Brandywine Holdings (Note 4) and Brandywine Maintenance Corp., which on a combined basis constitute the operating results of the shopping center. In April 2020, the Town Center venture was consolidated (Note 15).

 

(b)

Real estate at cost and total assets for the Funds segment include $603.4 million and $603.3 million, or $175.6 million and $174.7 million net of non-controlling interests, related to Fund II’s City Point property at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.

 

13. Share Incentive and Other Compensation

Share Incentive Plan

The Second Amended and Restated 2006 Incentive Plan (the “Share Incentive Plan”) authorizes the Company to issue options, Restricted Shares, LTIP Units and other securities (collectively “Awards”) to, among others, the Company’s officers, trustees and employees. At March 31, 2020 a total of 179,953 shares remained available to be issued under the Share Incentive Plan.

Restricted Shares and LTIP Units

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, and the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued 396,149 and 330,718 LTIP Units and 13,766 and 8,041 Restricted Share Units, respectively, to employees of the Company pursuant to the Share Incentive Plan. These awards were measured at their fair value on the grant date, incorporating the following factors:

 

A portion of these annual equity awards is granted in performance-based Restricted Share Units or LTIP Units that may be earned based on the Company’s attainment of specified relative total shareholder returns (“Relative TSR”) hurdles.

 

In the event the Relative TSR percentile falls between the 25th percentile and the 50th percentile, the Relative TSR vesting percentage is determined using a straight-line linear interpolation between 50% and 100% and in the event that the Relative TSR percentile falls between the 50th percentile and 75th percentile, the Relative TSR vesting percentage is determined using a straight-line linear interpolation between 100% and 200%.

 

Two-thirds (2/3) of the performance-based LTIP Units will vest based on the Company’s total shareholder return (“TSR”) for the three-year forward-looking performance period relative to the constituents of the SNL U.S. REIT Retail Shopping Center Index and one-third (1/3) on the Company’s TSR for the three-year forward-looking performance period as compared to the constituents of the SNL U.S. REIT Retail Index (both on a non-weighted basis).

 

If the Company’s performance fails to achieve the aforementioned hurdles at the culmination of the three-year performance period, all performance-based shares will be forfeited. Any earned performance-based shares vest 60% at the end of the performance period, with the remaining 40% of shares vesting ratably over the next two years.

 

For valuation of the 2020 and 2019 Performance Shares, a Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the fair values based on probability of satisfying the market conditions and the projected share prices at the time of payments, discounted to the valuation dates over the three-year performance periods. The assumptions include volatility (21.0% and 19.6%) and risk-free interest rates of (1.4% and 2.5%) for 2020 and 2019, respectively. The total value of the 2020 and 2019 Performance Shares will be expensed over the vesting period regardless of the Company’s performance.

The total value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $10.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and $11.1 million during the year ended December 31, 2019. Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the Share Incentive Plan, was $2.1 million and $1.9 million, for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively and is recorded in General and Administrative on the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In addition, members of the Board have been issued shares and units under the Share Incentive Plan. There were no shares and units issued as of March 31, 2020. During the year ended December 31, 2019, the Company issued 18,009 LTIP Units and 17,318 Restricted Shares to Trustees of the Company in connection with Trustee fees. Vesting with respect to 6,463 of the LTIP Units and 3,996 of the Restricted Shares will be on the first anniversary of the date of issuance and 11,546 of the LTIP Units and 13,322 of the Restricted Shares vest over three years with 33% vesting on each of the next three anniversaries of the issuance date. The Restricted Shares do not carry voting rights or other rights of Common Shares until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Dividends are not paid currently on unvested Restricted Shares, but are paid cumulatively from the issuance date through the applicable vesting date of such Restricted Shares. Total trustee fee expense, including the expense related to the Share Incentive Plan, was $0.3 million for each of the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019.

In 2009, the Company adopted the Long-Term Investment Alignment Program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may grant awards to employees, entitling them to receive up to 25% of any potential future payments of Promote to the Operating Partnership from Funds III, IV and V. The Company has granted such awards to employees representing 25% of the potential Promote payments from Fund III to the

38


ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

Operating Partnership, 22.8% of the potential Promote payments from Fund IV to the Operating Partnership and 4.3% of the potential Promote payments from Fund V to the Operating Partnership. Payments to senior executives under the Program require further Board approval at the time any potential payments are due pursuant to these grants. Compensation relating to these awards will be recognized in each reporting period in which Board approval is granted.

As payments to other employees are not subject to further Board approval, compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the estimated fair value at each reporting period in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation– Stock Compensation. The awards in connection with Fund IV and Fund V were determined to have no intrinsic value as of March 31, 2020 or December 31, 2019.

No compensation expense was recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2020 or the year ended December 31, 2019 related to the Program in connection with Fund III, Fund IV or Fund V.

As of March 31, 2020, there was $21.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Share Incentive Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years. The total fair value of Restricted Shares that vested for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, was $0.2 million and $0.6 million, respectively. The total fair value of LTIP Units that vested (LTIP units vest primarily during the first quarter) during the three months ended March 31, 2020 and the year ended December 31, 2019, was $7.2 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

Other Plans

On a combined basis, the Company incurred a total of $0.1 million related to the following employee benefit plans for the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Employee Share Purchase Plan

The Acadia Realty Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”), allows eligible employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions. The Purchase Plan provides for employees to purchase Common Shares on a quarterly basis at a 15% discount to the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on either the first day or the last day of the quarter, whichever is lower. A participant may not purchase more the $25,000 in Common Shares per year. Compensation expense will be recognized by the Company to the extent of the above discount to the closing price of the Common Shares with respect to the applicable quarter. A total of 395 and 706 Common Shares were purchased by employees under the Purchase Plan for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Deferred Share Plan

During 2006, the Company adopted a Trustee Deferral and Distribution Election, under which the participating Trustees earn deferred compensation.

39


ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

Employee 401(k) Plan

The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which the Company currently matches 50% of a plan participant’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s annual salary. A plan participant may contribute up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation, up to $19,500, for the year ending December 31, 2020.

14. Earnings Per Common Share

Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted-average Common Shares outstanding (Note 10). During the periods presented, the Company had unvested LTIP Units which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method.

Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of restricted share units (“Restricted Share Units”) issued under the Company’s Share Incentive Plans (Note 13). The effect of such shares is excluded from the calculation of earnings per share when anti-dilutive as indicated in the table below.

The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

Acquisition / Conversion

On April 1, the Company converted the remaining note receivable totaling $38.7 million plus accrued interest of $2.0 million (Note 3) into the venture partner’s 24.78% interest in Town Center (Note 4). Prior to this note conversion, the Company had a 75.22% tenancy-in-common interest

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Unaudited)

 

and accounted for the property using the equity method of accounting. Upon conversion of the note, the Company will consolidate the property entities beginning in the second quarter of 2020.

Fund Capital Call

Effective April 7, Fund II called capital of $15.0 million representing the full re-contribution of previously distributed proceeds from a 2018 property sale. The Company’s share of this capital call was $4.3 million.

Disposition

On April 13, Fund IV sold Colonie Plaza, a consolidated property in Albany, NY, for $15.3 million at a gain and repaid the property’s $11.6 million mortgage.

Distributions

On April 15, 2020, the Company paid its previously-announced distributions to Common Share and OP Unit holders for the quarter ended March 31, 2020 totaling $26.8 million.

On May 5, 2020, the Company’s Board voted to suspend the distributions on the Common Shares and Common OP Units for the quarter ending June 30, 2020. The Board has not made any decisions regarding its dividend policy beyond the second quarter of 2020 and will closely monitor the Company’s financial performance and economic outlook and assess when to reinitiate an appropriate dividend to maintain compliance with its REIT taxable income requirements.

COVID-19 Pandemic

 

Beginning in March 2020, the pandemic outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”) has adversely affected economic activity and significantly decreased consumer activity, both on a global and domestic level. The COVID-19 Pandemic and government responses are creating disruption in global supply chains and adversely impacting many industries, including the domestic retail sectors in which the Company’s tenants operate. The COVID-19 Pandemic could continue to have a material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. Under governmental restrictions and guidance, certain retailers are considered “essential businesses” and are permitted to remain fully operating during the COVID-19 Pandemic, while other “non-essential businesses” have been ordered to decrease or close operations for an indeterminate period of time to protect their employees and customers from the spread of the virus. These disruptions, which continue as of the date of this Report, may impact the collectability of rent from the Company’s affected tenants, as well as the recoverability of the Company’s real estate assets. The Company cannot estimate with reasonable certainty which currently operating tenants will remain open or if and when non-operating retailers will re-open for business as the COVID-19 Pandemic progresses. As of April 30, 2020, the Company estimates that approximately 34% of its consolidated and unconsolidated annualized base rents are derived from “essential businesses” and remaining 66% of its consolidated and unconsolidated annualized base rents are derived from “non-essential businesses.” While the Company considers these disruptions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic to be temporary, if the disruptions continue, they may have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity for the year ending December 31, 2020. Collections of rents billed in March 2020 were not significantly impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company has been monitoring collections of its April and May 2020 rents. Through April 30, 2020, collections of April rents are over 50% of billed rents and recoveries.

On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by COVID-19. Currently, Management is unable to determine the impact that the CARES Act will have on the Company and ultimately on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity for fiscal year 2020.

ITEM 2.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.

OVERVIEW

As of March 31, 2020, we own or have an ownership interest in 188 properties held through our Core Portfolio and Funds. Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries, not including those properties owned through our Funds. These properties primarily consist of street and urban retail, and dense suburban shopping centers. Our Funds are investment vehicles through which our Operating Partnership and outside institutional investors invest in primarily opportunistic and value-add retail real estate. Currently, we have active investments in four Funds. A summary of our wholly-owned and partially-owned retail properties and their physical occupancies (including tenants who may have been forced to close their businesses as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic, as discussed under “Significant Developments” below) at March 31, 2020 is as follows:

The majority of our operating income is derived from rental revenues from operating properties, including expense recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses.

Our primary business objective is to acquire and manage commercial retail properties that will provide cash for distributions to shareholders while also creating the potential for capital appreciation to enhance investor returns. We focus on the following fundamentals to achieve this objective:

 

Own and operate a Core Portfolio of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas and create value through accretive development and re-tenanting activities coupled with the acquisition of high-quality assets that have the long-term potential to outperform the asset class as part of our Core asset recycling and acquisition initiative.

 

Generate additional external growth through an opportunistic yet disciplined acquisition program within our Funds. We target transactions with high inherent opportunity for the creation of additional value through:

 

value-add investments in street retail properties, located in established and “next generation” submarkets, with re-tenanting or repositioning opportunities,

 

opportunistic acquisitions of well-located real-estate anchored by distressed retailers, and

 

other opportunistic acquisitions which may include high-yield acquisitions and purchases of distressed debt.

43


 

Some of these investments historically have also included, and may in the future include, joint ventures with private equity investors for the purpose of making investments in operating retailers with significant embedded value in their real estate assets.

 

Maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet through conservative financial practices while ensuring access to sufficient capital to fund future growth.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2020

Special Note Regarding the COVID-19 Pandemic

During the first quarter of 2020, a novel strain of coronavirus, COVID-19, spread to the United States and numerous other countries worldwide (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”). In order to protect citizens and slow the spread of COVID-19, a majority of state governments in the United States instituted restrictions on travel, implemented “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders and social distancing practices, and mandated shutdowns of certain “non-essential” businesses for an indeterminate period of time. As a result, a majority of the Company’s retail tenants have been forced to temporarily close their businesses. The only businesses that have remained in operation are “essential” businesses, as defined by each state, and generally include health care facilities, infrastructure-related facilities, as well as certain retail categories including, among others: grocery/convenience stores, pharmacies, gas stations, hardware/building materials, telecommunications and, subject to certain restrictions, restaurants and bars. The prospect of sustained tenant closures creates concern regarding the Company’s ability to fully collect rents billed during the second quarter of 2020 and possibly thereafter from non-operating tenants, many of which have already requested rent concessions from the Company. In addition, the COVID-19 Pandemic has had a significant adverse impact on economic and market conditions resulting in a decline in the Company’s share price, disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets and depressed real estate values, among others. The Company notes the following as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic:

 

Effective March 20, 2020, the Company closed its offices and its employees successfully transitioned to working from their homes.

 

On March 31, 2020, the Company issued a press release relaying that certain major development and construction projects have been placed on hold and withdrawing its 2020 guidance.

 

The Company reviewed its assets for impairment at March 31, 2020 and determined that it would take an aggregate non-cash impairment charge of $51.5 million, of which $12.4 million was the Company’s pro-rata share, as a result of changes in estimated holding periods, estimated net operating income and cap rates at selected properties due to circumstances stemming from the COVID-19 Pandemic (Note 8).

 

As of April 30, 2020, 66% and 71% of Core Portfolio and Fund Portfolio retail tenants, respectively, are considered “non-essential” businesses and remain closed, totaling approximately 66% of rents billed in April. We cannot presently determine when or how many of our non-essential tenants will reopen.

 

Collections of rents billed in March 2020 were not significantly impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. However, during the second quarter of 2020, the Company has been monitoring collections of its April and May 2020 rents. To date, collections of April 2020 rents are over 50% of billed rents and recoveries.

 

The Company is in the process of negotiating rent concessions, substantially in the form of deferrals, with select tenants. It is too early to determine the impact of such concessions on future period revenues or cash flows; however, the Company anticipates that revenues for the second quarter, and potentially the remainder of the year, will be negatively impacted.

 

The Company reviewed the collectability of its rents receivable and straight-line rents at March 31, 2020 and recorded an increase to its credit loss reserves of approximately $3.0 million (Note 11, Note 3) primarily related to projected tenant defaults stemming from business closures attributable to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

 

The Company continues to have active discussions with existing and potential new tenants for new and renewed leases. However, the uncertainty relating to the COVID-19 Pandemic has slowed the pace of leasing activity and could result in higher vacancy than the Company otherwise would have experienced, a longer amount of time to fill vacancies and potentially lower rental rates. As of March 31, 2020, approximately 2.6% and 5.5% of the Company’s Core and Fund portfolio rents, respectively, was subject to leases scheduled to expire in 2020 and 11.7% and 10.1% was subject to leases scheduled to expire in 2021.

 

Given the impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the markets where our properties are located, we anticipate a reduction in our disposition and acquisition activity during the second quarter and potentially for the remainder of 2020.

 

The Company has numerous long-dated interest rate cash flow hedges (Note 7, Note 8) in place to effectively fix the interest rates on its variable-rate debt. In periods when interest rates fall below the effective rates of the underlying debt agreements, the Company is required to make payments for its swaps that are charged to interest expense. The fair value of the interest rate swaps at March 31, 2020 was a liability of $104.3 million, which represents the present value of expected payments over the weighted-average remaining term of the swaps, which was 7.8 years.

44


 

 

The Company has reviewed its debt covenants with no significant new compliance issues noted as of March 31, 2020. However, potential reductions in the collections of rent during the second quarter of 2020 may impact future debt compliance at various properties.

 

We have suspended distributions on the Common Shares and Common OP Units for the second quarter of 2020. Our Board of Trustees has not made any decisions regarding our dividend policy beyond the second quarter of 2020 and will closely monitor our financial performance and economic outlook in order to assess when to reinitiate an appropriate dividend to maintain compliance with REIT taxable income requirements.

While the Company currently considers the disruptions associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic to be temporary, if such disruptions continue or have a more severe impact than anticipated, they may have a material adverse effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity for the year ending December 31, 2020.

Investments

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we invested in two properties aggregating $19.2 million, inclusive of transaction costs, within our Core portfolio as follows:

 

On January 9, we acquired a fully-occupied retail condominium, 37 Greene Street, located in the SoHo section of New York City, for $15.7 million.

 

On February 13, we acquired a fully-occupied, mixed-use building in Chicago, Illinois, for $3.5 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not make any investments within our Fund portfolio.

Dispositions of Real Estate

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we did not make any dispositions in our Core or Fund portfolios; however, a Fund IV property was sold in April 2020 (Note 15).

Financing Activity

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we (Note 7) extended debt aggregating $46.4 million at Fund IV pursuant to existing available extension options. Subsequent to March 31, 2020, Fund V extended its subscription line (Note 15).

Structured Financing Investments

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we entered into two new Structured Financing investments (Note 3) as follows:

 

On January 17, the Company loaned $54.0 million to an entity that owns an interest in 850 Third Avenue, in Brooklyn, New York.

 

On February 6, the Company loaned $5.0 million to one of the Company’s venture partners.

Equity Repurchases

The Company repurchased 1,219,065 Common Shares for $22.4 million, inclusive of $0.1 million of fees at a weighted average price per share of $18.29, under the share repurchase program, under which $122.6 million remains available as of March 31, 2020 (Note 10).

Core Portfolio

The results of operations for our Core Portfolio segment are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “Core.” Segment net income attributable to Acadia for our Core Portfolio decreased $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period as a result of the changes further described below.

Revenues for our Core Portfolio decreased $6.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to the write-off of a below-market lease related to a tenant that vacated in 2019 for $5.7 million and a $4.3 million increase in credit loss reserves (comprised of $1.3 million and $3.0 million of billed rent and straight-line rent, respectively)  in 2020 primarily related to the COVID-19 Pandemic. These decreases were offset by additional rents of $2.5 million from Core property acquisitions during 2019 and 2020 (Note 2).

Depreciation and amortization for our Core Portfolio increased $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to Core property acquisitions in 2019 and 2020.

Interest expense for our Core Portfolio increased $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2020.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for our Core Portfolio increased $1.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period based on the noncontrolling interests’ share of the variances discussed above.

Funds

The results of operations for our Funds segment are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “Funds.” Segment net income attributable to Acadia for the Funds decreased $12.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period as a result of the changes described below.

Revenues for the Funds increased $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to Fund property acquisitions in 2019 partially offset by $1.5 million from Fund property dispositions (Note 2).

Depreciation and amortization for the Funds increased $1.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to $2.5 million from Fund property acquisitions in 2019 partially offset by $0.6 million from Fund property dispositions.

46


 

Property operating expenses, other operating and real estate taxes for the Funds increased $2.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to Fund property acquisitions in 2019 partially offset by $0.6 million from Fund property dispositions.

 

Impairment of $51.5 million for the Funds relates to $33.8 million for 654 Broadway and Cortlandt Crossing in Fund III and $17.7 million for 801 Madison and 146 Geary in Fund IV.

Gain on disposition of properties for the Funds decreased $2.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period due to the sale of 3104 M Street in Fund III during 2019 (Note 2, Note 4).

Interest expense for the Funds decreased $1.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period due to $1.5 million from lower average interest rates in 2020 and $0.4 million of additional interest capitalized in 2020. These were offset by a $0.8 million increase related to higher average outstanding borrowings in 2020.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests for the Funds increased $41.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period based on the noncontrolling interests’ share of the variances discussed above. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interests in the Funds includes asset management fees earned by the Company of $4.3 million and $4.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Structured Financing

The results of operations for our Structured Financing segment are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “SF.” Interest income for the Structured Financing portfolio increased $0.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period primarily due to $1.3 million from new notes issued in 2020 and 2019 partially offset by $0.9 million from the payoff of a Fund IV note in 2019 (Note 3).

Unallocated

The Company does not allocate general and administrative expense and income taxes to its reportable segments. These unallocated amounts are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “Total.” Unallocated income tax benefit increased $1.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020 compared to the prior year period due to the newly available carryback of net operating losses under current Federal rules.

SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL MEASURES

Net Property Operating Income

The following discussion of net property operating income (“NOI”) and rent spreads on new and renewal leases includes the activity from both our consolidated and our pro-rata share of unconsolidated properties within our Core Portfolio. Given that the Funds are finite-life investment vehicles, these properties are sold following stabilization. For these reasons, we believe NOI and rent spreads are not meaningful measures for our Fund investments.

NOI represents property revenues less property expenses. We consider NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases for our Core Portfolio to be appropriate supplemental disclosures of portfolio operating performance due to their widespread acceptance and use within the REIT investor and analyst communities. NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases are presented to assist investors in analyzing our property performance, however, our method of calculating these may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Funds from Operations

We consider funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance for an equity REIT due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of depreciable real estate. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, we define FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and impairment of depreciable real estate, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. A reconciliation of net income attributable to Acadia to FFO follows (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Uses of Liquidity and Cash Requirements

Our principal uses of liquidity are (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments which include the funding of our capital committed to the Funds and property acquisitions and development/re-tenanting activities within our Core Portfolio, (iii) distributions to our Fund investors, (iv) debt service and loan repayments and (v) share repurchases.

Distributions

In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares, Common OP Units and Preferred OP Units totaling $27.0 million. We have suspended distributions on the Common Shares and Common OP Units for the second quarter of 2020. Our Board of Trustees has not made any decisions regarding our dividend policy beyond the second quarter of 2020 and will closely monitor our financial performance and economic outlook in order to assess when to reinitiate an appropriate dividend to maintain compliance with REIT taxable income requirements.

Investments in Real Estate

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, within our Core portfolio we invested in two properties aggregating $19.2 million inclusive of transaction costs, as follows:

 

On January 9, the Company acquired a retail condominium, 37 Greene Street, located in the SoHo section of New York City, for $15.7 million (Note 2).

 

On February 13, the Company acquired a fully-occupied, mixed-use building in Chicago, Illinois, for $3.5 million.

Capital Commitments

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we made capital contributions aggregating $2.3 million to our Funds. At March 31, 2020, our share of the remaining capital commitments to our Funds aggregated $83.9 million as follows:

 

$2.4 million to Fund III. Fund III was launched in May 2007 with total committed capital of $450.0 million, of which our original share was $89.6 million. During 2015, we acquired an additional interest, which had an original capital commitment of $20.9 million.

 

$19.9 million to Fund IV. Fund IV was launched in May 2012 with total committed capital of $530.0 million, of which our original share was $122.5 million.

 

$61.6 million to Fund V. Fund V was launched in August 2016 with total committed capital of $520.0 million, of which our initial share is $104.5 million.

 

During April 2018, a distribution was made to the Fund II investors, including $4.3 million to the Operating Partnership, which amount was re-contributed to Fund II in April 2020 (Note 15).

Development Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, capitalized costs associated with development activities totaled $4.6 million (Note 2). At March 31, 2020, we had a total of nine consolidated and one unconsolidated projects under development or redevelopment and the estimated total cost to complete these projects through 2022 was $130.2 million to $169.1 million and our estimated share was approximately $86.6 million to $106.1 million. Substantially all remaining development and redevelopment costs are discretionary and dependent upon the resumption of tenant interest due to aforementioned disruptions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

As of March 31, 2020, our consolidated outstanding mortgage and notes payable aggregated $1,834.4 million, excluding unamortized premium of $0.6 million and unamortized loan costs of $9.0 million, and were collateralized by 44 properties and related tenant leases. Interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness ranged from 2.77% to 6.00% with maturities that ranged from May 4, 2020 to April 15, 2035. Taking into consideration $1,038.8 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $1,422.6 million of the portfolio debt, or 77.6%, was fixed at a 3.73% weighted-average interest rate and $411.7 million, or 22.4% was floating at a 3.30% weighted average interest rate as of March 31, 2020. Our variable-rate debt includes $143.6 million of debt subject to interest rate caps.

 

Without regard to available extension options, there is $388.9 million of debt maturing in 2020 at a weighted-average interest rate of 4.43%; there is $4.8 million of scheduled principal amortization due in 2020; and our share of scheduled remaining 2020 principal payments and maturities on our unconsolidated debt was $9.8 million at March 31, 2020. In addition, $333.8 million of our total consolidated debt and $7.9 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will come due in 2021. As it relates to the aforementioned maturing debt in 2020 and 2021, we have options to extend consolidated debt aggregating $335.5 million and $195.2 million, respectively; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully execute any or all of its available extension options. For the remaining indebtedness, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, and, therefore, we expect to refinance at least a portion of this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions as these loans mature; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing at acceptable terms.

A mortgage loan in the Company’s Core Portfolio for $26.3 million was in default and subject to litigation at March 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019 (Note 7).

Share Repurchase Program

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we repurchased 1,219,065 Common Shares for $22.4 million, inclusive of $0.1 million of fees, under the share repurchase program at a weighted average price per share of $18.29, under which $122.6 million remains available as of March 31, 2020 (Note 10).

Sources of Liquidity

Our primary sources of capital for funding our liquidity needs include (i) the issuance of both public equity and OP Units, (ii) the issuance of both secured and unsecured debt, (iii) unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within our Funds, (iv) future sales of existing properties, (v) repayments of structured financing investments, and (vi) cash on hand and future cash flow from operating activities. Our cash on hand in our consolidated subsidiaries at March 31, 2020 totaled $23.4 million. Our remaining sources of liquidity are described further below.

ATM Program

We have an ATM Program (Note 10) which provides us an efficient and low-cost vehicle for raising public equity to fund our capital needs. Through this program, we have been able to effectively “match-fund” the required equity for our Core Portfolio and Fund acquisitions through the issuance of Common Shares over extended periods employing a price averaging strategy. In addition, from time to time, we have issued and intend to continue to issue, equity in follow-on offerings separate from our ATM Program. Net proceeds raised through our ATM Program and follow-on offerings are primarily used for acquisitions, both for our Core Portfolio and our pro-rata share of Fund acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company did not sell any shares under its ATM Program.

Fund Capital

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, Funds III and IV called capital contributions of $3.9 million and $5.6 million, respectively, of which our aggregate share was $2.3 million. At March 31, 2020, unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within our Funds III, IV and V were $7.3 million, $66.3 million and $245.1 million, respectively.

Asset Sales and Structured Financing Transactions

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 the Company had no dispositions or Structured Financing redemptions. Scheduled maturities of Structured Financing loans include $95.1 million maturing in 2020, including one note receivable for $38.7 million, which was converted to the remaining interest in the collateral on April 1, 2020 (Note 15).

Financing and Debt

As of March 31, 2020, we had $213.9 million of additional capacity under existing Core and Fund revolving debt facilities. In addition, at that date within our Core and Fund portfolios, we had 80 unleveraged consolidated properties with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $1.5 billion and one unleveraged unconsolidated property for which our share of the carrying value was $98.5 million, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties at favorable terms, if at all.

Operating Activities

 

Our operating activities provided $7.9 million more cash during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily due to property acquisitions.

Investing Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, our investing activities used $2.5 million less cash, primarily due to (i) $47.5 million less cash used in investments in unconsolidated affiliates, (ii) $15.1 million less cash used in acquisition and lease of properties, (iii) $6.6 million less cash used in development, construction and property improvement costs and (iv)$3.4 million less cash received from return of capital from unconsolidated affiliates. These sources of cash were partially offset by (i) $59.0 million more cash used to issue notes receivable, (ii) $9.8 million less cash received from disposition of properties, and (iii) $1.2 million more cash used in leasing activity.

Financing Activities

Our financing activities provided $8.3 million less cash during the three months ended March 31, 2020 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2019, primarily from (i) $27.8 million less cash received from the sale of Common Shares, (ii) $24.9 million less cash provided from contributions from noncontrolling interests, (iii) $22.4 million more cash used to repurchase Common Shares, and (iv) $2.4 million more cash used in dividends paid to Common Shareholders. These sources of cash were partially offset by (i) $65.9 million more cash provided from net borrowings and $3.1 million less cash used for financing costs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. The preparation of these Consolidated Financial Statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

Reference is made to Note 1 for information about recently issued accounting pronouncements.

ITEM 3.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.

Information as of March 31, 2020

Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage and other debt. See Note 7 in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage and other debt.

Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap and cap agreements. As of March 31, 2020, we had total mortgage and other notes payable of $1,834.4 million, excluding the unamortized premium of $0.6 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $9.0 million, of which $1,422.6 million, or 77.6% was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $411.7 million, or 22.4%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR or Prime rates plus certain spreads. As of March 31, 2020, we were party to 41 interest rate swaps and four interest rate cap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $1,038.8 million and $143.6 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.

The following table sets forth information as of March 31, 2020 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity (without regard to available extension options) and weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts (dollars in millions):

Without regard to available extension options, in 2020, $393.6 million of our total consolidated debt and $9.8 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt will become due. In addition, $333.8 million of our total consolidated debt and $7.9 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will become due in 2021. As it relates to the aforementioned maturing debt in 2020 and 2021, we have options to extend consolidated debt aggregating $335.5 million and $195.2 million, respectively; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able successfully execute any or all of its available extension options. As we intend on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates, which may be greater than the current interest rates, our interest expense would increase by approximately $7.5 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $1.8 million. Interest expense on our variable-rate debt of $411.7 million, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of March 31, 2020, would increase $4.1 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $1.0 million. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.

Based on our outstanding debt balances as of March 31, 2020, the fair value of our total consolidated outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $13.0 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $27.4 million.

As of March 31, 2020, and December 31, 2019, we had consolidated notes receivable of $173.2 million and $114.9 million, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value of our notes receivable by discounting future cash receipts utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar notes receivable would be originated under conditions then existing.

Based on our outstanding notes receivable balances as of March 31, 2020, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would decrease by approximately $2.6 million if interest rates increase by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decrease by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would increase by approximately $2.7 million.

Summarized Information as of December 31, 2019

As of December 31, 2019, we had total mortgage and other notes payable of $1,717.9 million, excluding the unamortized premium of $0.7 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $10.4 million, of which $1,403.3 million, or 81.7% was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $314.6 million, or 18.3%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR or Prime rates plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2019, we were party to 40 interest rate swap and four interest rate cap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $948.8 million and $143.3 million of LIBOR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.

Interest expense on our variable-rate debt of $314.6 million as of December 31, 2019, would have increased $3.1 million if LIBOR increased by 100 basis points. Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2019, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have decreased by approximately $11.5 million if interest rates increased by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decreased by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have increased by approximately $13.6 million.

Changes in Market Risk Exposures from December 31, 2019 to March 31, 2020

Our interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2019, to March 31, 2020, has increased on an absolute basis, as the $314.6 million of variable-rate debt as of December 31, 2019, has increased to $411.7 million as of March 31, 2020. As a percentage of our overall debt, our interest rate risk exposure has increased as our variable-rate debt accounted for 18.3% of our consolidated debt as of December 31, 2019 compared to 22.4% as of March 31, 2020.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

 

PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1.

As previously disclosed in our periodic findings, Acadia Brandywine Holdings, LLC (“Brandywine Holdings”), a consolidated entity in which we have a 22.22% interest, is a party to litigation in connection with a mortgage loan collateralized by a Core Portfolio property held by it (the “Brandywine Loan”). The Brandywine Loan was originated in June 2006 and had an original principal amount of $26.3 million and a scheduled maturity of July 1, 2016. By maturity, the Brandywine Loan was in default. The Brandywine Loan bears interest at a stated rate of approximately 6% and is subject to additional default interest of 5%. In April 2017, the successor to the original lender, Wilmington – 5190 Brandywine Parkway, LLC (the “Successor Lender”), initiated lawsuits against Brandywine Holdings in Delaware Superior Court and Delaware Court of Chancery for, among other things, judgment on the note (the “Note Complaint”) and foreclosure on the property. In a contemporaneously filed action in Delaware Superior Court (the “Guaranty Complaint”), the Successor Lender initiated a lawsuit against the Operating Partnership as guarantor of certain guaranteed obligations of Brandywine Holdings set forth in a non-recourse carve-out guaranty executed by the Operating Partnership. The Guaranty Complaint alleges that the Operating Partnership is liable for the original principal, accrued interest, default interest, late charges, as well as fees, costs and protective advances, under the Brandywine Loan, which the Successor Lender alleges totaled approximately $33.0 million as of November 9, 2017 (exclusive of accruing interest, default interest, late charges, and fees and costs). In August 2019, the Delaware Superior Court heard arguments on the parties’ cross-motions for summary judgement regarding both the Guaranty Complaint and the Note Complaint. On February 7, 2020, the Delaware Superior Court granted in part the Successor Lender’s motion and denied Brandywine Holdings’ and the Operating Partnership’s cross-motion, for summary judgment, finding that each of Brandywine Holdings and the Operating Partnership have recourse liability under the Brandywine Loan and requesting the parties to contact the Court regarding a hearing of any additional outstanding issues. A final judgment against Brandywine Holdings and the Operating Partnership, jointly and severally, for an amount certain (including principal, accrued interest, default interest, late charges, as well as fees and costs, in each case calculated to the date of such judgment) on the Guaranty and Note Complaints has not yet been entered by the Delaware Superior Court. The parties are currently in discussion regarding such amount. Brandywine Holdings and the Operating Partnership intend to appeal the ruling after entry of the judgement by the Delaware Superior Court.

In addition, from time to time, we are a party to various legal proceedings, claims or regulatory inquiries and investigations arising out of, or incident to, our ordinary course of business. While we are unable to predict with certainty the outcome of any particular matter, management does not expect, when such matters are resolved, that our resulting exposure to loss contingencies, if any, will have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position.

ITEM 1A.

RISK FACTORS.

Except to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in this Report relates to such risk factors (including, without limitation, the matters discussed in Part I, “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), there were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in Part I, “Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, other than those disclosed below.

Actual or perceived threats associated with epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises, including the COVID-19 pandemic, could have a material adverse effect on our and our tenants’ businesses, financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, liquidity, and ability to access the capital markets and satisfy debt service obligations.

Epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises, including the recent COVID-19 pandemic, that impact economic and market conditions, particularly in the markets where our properties are located, and preventative measures taken to alleviate their impact, including mandatory business shutdowns, “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders issued by local, state or federal authorities, may have a material adverse effect on our and our tenants’ businesses, financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, and ability to access capital markets and satisfy debt service obligations.

Our retail tenants depend on in-person interactions with their customers to generate unit-level profitability, and an epidemic, pandemic or other public health crisis may decrease customer willingness to frequent, and mandated “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders have prevented customers from frequenting, our tenants’ businesses, which may result in their inability to maintain profitability and make timely rental payments to us under their leases. We own properties across the United States, including in some of the states that have been significantly impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic, such as New York, New Jersey, Massachusetts, Pennsylvania and California. As of April 30, 2020, 66% and 71% of Core Portfolio and Fund Portfolio retail tenants, respectively, are considered non-essential businesses and remain closed, totaling approximately 66%, of rents billed in April. We cannot presently determine when or how many of our non-essential tenants will reopen. To date in April 2020, we received over 50% of billed rents and recoveries. We are in the process of negotiating rent concessions, substantially in the form of deferrals, with select tenants. We currently anticipate the above circumstances to negatively impact our revenues for the second quarter 2020 and potentially for the remainder of the year.

Moreover, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent and mitigate its spread could have additional adverse effects on our business, including with regards to:

 

the ability and willingness of our tenants to renew their leases upon expiration, our ability to re-lease the properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we exercise our right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations we may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant, particularly in light of the adverse impact to the financial health of many retailers that has occurred and continues to occur as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant uncertainty as to when and the conditions under which potential tenants will be able to operate physical retail locations in the future;

 

anticipated returns from development and redevelopment projects, which have been temporarily suspended;

 

to the extent we were seeking to sell properties in the near term, significantly greater uncertainty regarding our ability to do so at attractive prices,

 

the broader impact of the severe economic contraction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting increase in unemployment that has occurred in the short-term and its effect on consumer behavior, and negative consequences that will occur if these trends are not timely reversed;

 

macroeconomic conditions, such as a disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets and the adverse impact of the recent significant decline in our share price from prices prior to the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic;

 

our ability to obtain additional indebtedness or pay down, refinance, restructure or extend our indebtedness as it becomes due, and negative impact of reductions in rent on financial covenants on corporate and/or property-level debt; and

 

potential reduction in our operating effectiveness as employees work remotely or if key personnel become unavailable due to illness or other personal circumstances related to COVID-19, as well as increased cybersecurity risks relating to the use of remote technology.

The COVID-19 pandemic and restrictions intended to prevent and mitigate its spread have already had a significant adverse impact on economic and market conditions around the world, including the United States and markets where our properties are located, in the first quarter of 2020 and could further trigger a period of sustained global and U.S. economic downturn or recession. While the rapid developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic preclude any prediction as to its ultimate adverse impact, the current economic, political and social environment presents material risks and uncertainties with respect to our and our tenants’ business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity and ability to access the capital markets and satisfy debt service obligations. Moreover, to the extent any of these risks and uncertainties adversely impact us in the ways described above or otherwise, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described under the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
