1. Business of Organization
Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a full-service real estate company with extensive experience developing, building, owning, and managing high-quality, institutional-grade office, retail, and multifamily properties in attractive markets primarily throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States.
The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT"), the sole general partner of Armada Hoffler, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and, as of March 31, 2022, owned 76.7% of the economic interest in the Operating Partnership, of which 0.1% is held as general partnership units. The operations of the Company are carried on primarily through the Operating Partnership and the wholly owned subsidiaries thereof.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company's property portfolio consisted of 57 stabilized operating properties and four properties either under development or not yet stabilized.
Refer to Note 5 for information related to the Company's recent acquisitions and dispositions of properties.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and any interests in variable interest entities ("VIEs") where the Company has been determined to be the primary beneficiary. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition, and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Such estimates are based on management’s historical experience and best judgment after considering past, current, and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain items have been reclassified from their prior year classifications to conform to the current year presentation. The amounts previously classified as Interest expense on indebtedness and Interest expense on finance leases for the three months ended March 31, 2021 in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income are now included in a single line item as Interest expense. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholders' equity as previously reported.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848), which became effective on March 12, 2020 and generally can be applied through December 31, 2022. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that adopting this standard may have on its Consolidated Financial Statements.
Earnings Per Share
In August 2020, FASB issued ASU 2020-06 an update to ASC Topic 470 and ASC Topic 815, which became effective January 1, 2022. ASU 2020-06 simplifies the accounting for convertible instruments and removes certain settlement conditions that are required for equity contracts to qualify for the derivative scope exception. This ASU also simplifies diluted earnings per share calculation in certain areas and provides updated disclosure requirements. The Company adopted ASU 2020-06 effective January 1, 2022 and the adoption did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Other Accounting Policies
See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 for a description of other accounting principles upon which basis the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared.
3. Segments
Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. Net operating income is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, net operating income should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate net operating income in the same manner. The Company considers net operating income to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of the Company’s real estate and construction businesses.

4. Leases
Lessee Disclosures
As a lessee, the Company has eight ground leases on seven properties. These ground leases have maximum lease terms (including renewal options) that expire between 2074 and 2117. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. Five of these leases have been classified as operating leases and three of these leases have been classified as finance leases. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Lessor Disclosures
As a lessor, the Company leases its properties under operating leases and recognizes base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also recognizes revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse the Company on an accrual basis for certain expenses such as utilities, janitorial services, repairs and maintenance, security and alarms, parking lot and ground maintenance, administrative services, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes. Rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. In addition, the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue (e.g., percentage rents based on tenant sales thresholds) when the sales thresholds are met. Many tenant leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from to 25 years, or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the tenant's sole discretion. The Company includes a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably assured.

5. Real Estate Investment
Property Acquisitions
Exelon
On January 14, 2022, the Company acquired a 79% membership interest and an additional 11% economic interest in the partnership that owns the Exelon Building for a purchase price of approximately $92.2 million in cash and a loan to the seller of $12.8 million. The Exelon Building is a mixed-use structure located in Baltimore's Harbor Point and is comprised of an office building, the Constellation Office, that serves as the headquarters for Constellation Energy Corp., which was spun-off from Exelon, a Fortune 100 energy company, in February 2022, as well as a small multifamily component, 1305 Dock Street. The Constellation Office includes a parking garage and retail space. The Exelon Building was subject to a $156.1 million loan, which the Company immediately refinanced following the acquisition with a new $175.0 million loan. The new loan bears interest at a rate of the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY") plus a spread of 1.50% and will mature on November 1, 2026.
The following table summarizes the purchase price allocation (including acquisition costs) based on relative fair value of the assets acquired for the two operating properties purchased during the three months ended March 31, 2022 (in thousands):

Ten Tryon
On January 14, 2022, the Company acquired the remaining 20% ownership interest in the entity that is developing the Ten Tryon project in Charlotte, North Carolina for a cash payment of $3.9 million. The Company recorded the amount as an adjustment to additional paid-in-capital.
Equity Method Investment
Harbor Point Parcel 3
The Company owns a 50% interest in Harbor Point Parcel 3, a joint venture with Beatty Development Group, for purposes of developing T. Rowe Price's new global headquarters office building in Baltimore, Maryland. The Company is a noncontrolling partner in the joint venture and will serve as the project's general contractor. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company invested $8.2 million in Harbor Point Parcel 3. The Company has an estimated equity commitment of up to $42.0 million relating to this project. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the carrying value of the Company's investment in Harbor Point Parcel 3 was $20.9 million and $12.7 million, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, Harbor Point Parcel 3 had no operating activity, and therefore the Company received no allocated income.
11
Based on the terms of the operating agreement, the Company has concluded that Harbor Point Parcel 3 is a VIE and that the Company holds a variable interest. The Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance, including activity as the managing member of the entity. Accordingly, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and, therefore, does not consolidate Harbor Point Parcel 3 in its consolidated financial statements. The Company has significant influence over the project due to its 50% ownership as well as certain rights and responsibilities relating to the development project. The Company's investment in the project is recorded as an equity method investment in the consolidated balance sheets.
6. Notes Receivable and Current Expected Credit Losses

(b) This amount includes interest reserves.
(c) The amount excludes $0.4 million of Current Expected Credit Losses ("CECL") allowance that relates to the unfunded commitments, which was recorded as a liability under Other Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.
Interest on the notes receivable is accrued and funded utilizing the interest reserves for each loan, which are components of the respective maximum loan commitments, and such accrued interest is generally added to the loan receivable balances. The Company recognized interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 as follows (in thousands):

City Park 2
On March 23, 2022, the Company entered into a $20.6 million preferred equity investment for the development of a multifamily property located in Charlotte, North Carolina. The investment has economic terms consistent with a note receivable, including a mandatory redemption or maturity on April 28, 2026, and it is accounted for as a note receivable. The Company's investment bears interest at a rate of 13%, compounded annually.
12
Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE. Because the other investor in the project, TP City Park 2 LLC, is the developer of City Park 2 Multifamily, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. Accordingly, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the project in its consolidated financial statements.
Interlock Commercial
During February 2022, the Company received $13.5 million as a partial repayment of the Interlock Commercial mezzanine loan, which consisted of $11.1 million of principal and $2.4 million of interest, reducing the outstanding loan amount to $84.0 million.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its mezzanine lending activities and preferred equity investments. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had three mezzanine loans (including the Nexton Multifamily and City Park 2 preferred equity investments that are accounted for as notes receivable), each of which are financing development projects in various stages of completion or lease-up. Each of these projects is subject to a loan that is senior to the Company’s mezzanine loan. Interest on these loans is paid in kind and is generally not expected to be paid until a sale of the project after completion of the development.
The Company's management performs a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio to determine the risk of credit loss based on the progress of development activities, including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected mezzanine and senior construction loan balances. The Company estimates future losses on its notes receivable using risk ratings that correspond to probabilities of default and loss given default. The Company's risk ratings are as follows:
•Pass: loans in this category are adequately collateralized by a development project with conditions materially consistent with the Company's underwriting assumptions.
•Special Mention: loans in this category show signs that the economic performance of the project may suffer as a result of slower-than-expected leasing activity or an extended development or marketing timeline. Loans in this category warrant increased monitoring by management.
•Substandard: loans in this category may not be fully collected by the Company unless remediation actions are taken. Remediation actions may include obtaining additional collateral or assisting the borrower with asset management activities to prepare the project for sale. The Company will also consider placing the loan on nonaccrual status if it does not believe that additional interest accruals will ultimately be collected.
On a quarterly basis, the Company compares the risk inherent in its loans to industry loan loss data experienced during past business cycles. The Company updated the risk ratings for each of its notes receivable as of March 31, 2022 and obtained industry loan loss data relative to these risk ratings. Each of the outstanding loans as of March 31, 2022 was "Pass" rated.
At December 31, 2021, the Company reported $126.4 million of notes receivable, net of allowances of $1.0 million. At March 31, 2022, the Company reported $133.6 million of notes receivable, net of allowances of $1.2 million. Changes in the allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

________________________________________
(a) The amount as of March 31, 2022 includes $0.4 million of allowance related to the unfunded commitments, which was recorded as Other liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company places loans on non-accrual status when the loan balance, together with the balance of any senior loan, approximately equals the estimated realizable value of the underlying development project. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had the Exelon note, which bears interest at 3% per annum, on non-accrual status. The principal balance of the
13
note receivable is adequately secured by the seller's partnership interest. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there were no other loans on non-accrual status.
7. Construction Contracts
Construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent reimbursable costs and amounts earned under contracts in progress as of the balance sheet date. Such amounts become billable according to contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones, or completion of the project. The Company expects to bill and collect substantially all construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings as of March 31, 2022 during the next twelve months.
Billings in excess of construction contract costs and estimated earnings represent billings or collections on contracts made in advance of revenue recognized.
The following table summarizes the changes to the balances in the Company’s construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings account and the billings in excess of construction contract costs and estimated earnings account for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 (in thousands):

The Company defers pre-contract costs when such costs are directly associated with specific anticipated contracts and their recovery is probable. Pre-contract costs of $1.7 million and $2.2 million were deferred as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively. Amortization of pre-contract costs for both the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 was $0.1 million.
Construction receivables and payables include retentions, which are amounts that are generally withheld until the completion of the contract or the satisfaction of certain restrictive conditions such as fulfillment guarantees. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, construction receivables included retentions of $5.8 million and $3.1 million, respectively. The Company expects to collect substantially all construction receivables outstanding as of March 31, 2022 during the next twelve months. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, construction payables included retentions of $6.9 million and $4.2 million, respectively.

8. Indebtedness
Credit Facility
The Company has a senior credit facility that was amended and restated on October 3, 2019, which provides for a $355.0 million credit facility comprised of a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $205.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be further increased to $700.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2024, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2025.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85% and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80%, in each case depending on the Company's total leverage. The Company is also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the credit facility.
As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility was $65.0 million and $5.0 million, respectively. The outstanding balance on the term loan facility was $205.0 million as of both dates. As of March 31, 2022, the effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 1.95% and 1.90%, respectively. The Company may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by the Company and
15
certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty. The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Company's ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions. The credit agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants governing the credit facility.
Other 2022 Financing Activity
On January 5, 2022, the Company contributed $2.6 million to the Harbor Point Parcel 3 joint venture in order to meet the lender's equity funding requirement since a $15.0 million standby letter of credit, which was available for draw down on the revolving credit facility in the event the Company did not meet its equity requirement, expired on January 4, 2022.
On January 14, 2022, the Company acquired a 79% membership interest and an additional 11% economic interest in the partnership that owns the mixed-use property known as the Exelon Building. The property was subject to a $156.1 million loan, which the Company immediately refinanced following the acquisition with a new $175.0 million loan. The new loan bears interest at a rate of BSBY plus a spread of 1.50% and will mature on November 1, 2026.
On January 19, 2022, the Company paid off the $14.1 million balance of the loan secured by the Delray Beach Plaza shopping center.

During the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company borrowed $14.2 million under its existing construction loans to fund new development and construction.
9. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into interest rate derivative contracts to manage exposure to interest rate risks. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value and presented within other assets and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives that are neither designated nor qualify as hedging instruments are recognized within the change in fair value of interest rate derivatives in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
As of March 31, 2022, the Company had the following LIBOR, Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), and BSBY interest rate caps ($ in thousands):

(b) This interest rate swap is subject to BSBY, which has been identified as an alternative to LIBOR.
For the interest rate swaps and caps designated as cash flow hedges, realized losses are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss to interest expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income due to payments made to the swap counterparty. During the next 12 months, the Company anticipates recognizing approximately $2.2 million of net hedging gains as reductions to interest expense. These amounts will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive gain into earnings to offset the variability of the hedged items during this period.

Beginning with grants made in 2021, executive officers' restricted shares generally vest over a period of three years: two-fifths immediately on the grant date and the remaining three-fifths in equal amounts on the first three anniversaries following the grant date, subject to continued service to the Company. Non-employee director restricted stock awards vest either immediately upon grant or over a period of one year, subject to continued service to the Company. Unvested restricted stock awards are entitled to receive dividends from their grant date.

12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3 — unobservable inputs
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values. Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of interest rate swaps and caps. The Company measures the fair values of these assets and liabilities based on prices provided by independent market participants that are based on observable inputs using market-based valuation techniques.
Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are not measured at fair value but for which the fair value is disclosed include the Company's notes receivable and indebtedness. The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
In certain cases, the inputs used to estimate the fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
19
Considerable judgment is used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021 were as follows (in thousands):

13. Related Party Transactions
The Company provides general contracting services to certain related party entities that are included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue and gross profit from construction contracts with these entities for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were immaterial. Revenue and gross profit from construction contracts with these entities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 were $12.4 million and $0.5 million, respectively. As of March 31, 2022 and December 31, 2021, there was $2.1 million and $4.1 million, respectively, outstanding from related parties of the Company included in net construction receivables.
The general contracting services described above include contracts with an aggregate price of $81.6 million with the developer of a mixed-use project, including an apartment building, retail space, and a parking garage located in Virginia Beach, Virginia. The developer is owned in part by certain executives of the Company, not including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. These contracts were executed in 2019 and were substantially complete as of March 31, 2022. Aggregate gross profit was projected at $3.9 million to the Company, representing a gross profit margin of 5.1% as of March 31, 2022. As part of these contracts and per the requirements of the lender for this project, the Company issued a letter of credit for $9.5 million to secure certain performances of the Company's subsidiary construction company under the contracts, which remains outstanding as of March 31, 2022.
The Operating Partnership entered into tax protection agreements that indemnify certain directors and executive officers of the Company from their tax liabilities resulting from the potential future sale of certain of the Company’s properties prior to May 13, 2023.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is from time to time involved in various disputes, lawsuits, warranty claims, environmental and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
The Company currently is a party to various legal proceedings, none of which management expects will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Management accrues a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated, management accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Management does not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.
Under the Company’s leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify the Company from and against all liabilities, costs, and expenses imposed upon or asserted against it as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant.

In addition, as of March 31, 2022, the Company has outstanding a letter of credit for $9.5 million to secure certain performances of the Company's subsidiary construction company under a related party project.
On January 7, 2021, the Operating Partnership entered into a $15.0 million standby letter of credit using the available capacity under the credit facility to guarantee the funding of its investment in the Harbor Point Parcel 3 joint venture, which is the developer of T. Rowe Price's new global headquarters. This letter of credit was available for draw down on the revolving credit facility in the event the Company did not meet its equity requirement. The letter of credit expired on January 4, 2022 and was not required to be renewed.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
The Company has certain commitments related to its notes receivable investments that it may be required to fund in the future. The Company is generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events outside of the Company's direct control. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had three notes receivable with a total of $15.7 million of unfunded commitments. If commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments. As of March 31, 2022, the Company has recorded a $0.4 million CECL allowance that relates to the unfunded commitments, which was recorded as a liability in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

(2) We were required to purchase our joint venture partner's ownership interest after completion of the project, contingent upon obtaining a certificate of occupancy and achieving certain thresholds of net operating income. On April 11, 2022, we paid a $1.1 million earn-out to the joint venture partner due to the receipt of the certificate of occupancy. The other contingent events have not yet been satisfied.
Acquisitions
On January 14, 2022, we acquired a 79% membership interest and an additional 11% economic interest in the partnership that owns the Exelon Building for a purchase price of approximately $92.2 million in cash and a loan to the seller of $12.8 million. The Exelon Building is a mixed-use structure located in Baltimore's Harbor Point and is comprised of an office building, the Constellation Office, that serves as the headquarters for Constellation Energy Corp., which was spun-off from Exelon, a Fortune 100 energy company, in February 2022, as well as a small multifamily component, 1305 Dock Street. The Constellation Office also includes a parking garage and retail space. The Exelon Building was subject to a $156.1 million loan, which we immediately refinanced following the acquisition with a new $175.0 million loan. The new loan bears interest at a rate of the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY") plus a spread of 1.50% and will mature on November 1, 2026.
On January 14, 2022, we acquired the remaining 20% ownership interest in the partnership that is developing the Ten Tryon project in Charlotte, North Carolina for a cash payment of $3.9 million.
On April 11, 2022, we exercised our option to acquire an additional 16% of the partnership that owns Annapolis Junction Apartments, increasing our ownership to 95%.
Joint Venture Investments
On April 1, 2022, the Company acquired a 90% interest in Harbor Point Parcel 4, a joint venture with Beatty Development Group, for purposes of developing a mixed-use project, which is planned to include multifamily units, retail space, and a parking garage. The Company has a projected equity commitment of $74.0 million relating to this project.

Segment Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2022, we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate, and (iv) general contracting and real estate services, which are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRS"). Net operating income (segment revenues minus segment expenses) ("NOI") is the measure used by management to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of NOI to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
We define same store properties as those properties that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is fully or partially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the occupancy criterion above is again met. A property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of computing same store operating results.

Amortization of right-of-use assets - finance leases for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased 47.1% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to the acquisition of Delray Beach Plaza, which has a ground lease classified as a finance lease.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased 17.1% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to higher compensation, benefits, and training and development resulting from increased investment in human capital and sustainability initiatives.
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased 84.5% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 as a result of higher write off of costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 relating to certain development projects and acquisitions that are no longer probable.
Impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2021 relate to the impairment recognized on Socastee Commons. Impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2022 were immaterial.
Gain on real estate dispositions for the three months ended March 31, 2021 relates to the sale of the 7-Eleven at Hanbury Village, Oakland Marketplace, and easement rights at a non-operating land parcel. There was no gain or loss recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2022 decreased 13.3% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily as a result of the lower notes receivable balance in the current period due to the repayment of certain of our mezzanine loans during 2021. The decrease also resulted from the partial repayment of $13.5 million of the Interlock Commercial mezzanine loan, which consisted of $11.1 million of principal and $2.4 million of interest, reducing the outstanding loan amount to $84.0 million.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased 13.2% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to the loans obtained and assumed in connection with acquisitions.
Loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily relates to the loan payoffs on Red Mill West and Delray Beach Plaza. There was no loss on extinguishment recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2021.
The change in fair value of derivatives and other for the three months ended March 31, 2022 includes fair value increases for our derivative instruments due to increases in forward LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) and BSBY.
Unrealized credit loss (provision) release for the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased by $0.7 million primarily due to the recognition of credit loss reserve for the City Park 2 preferred equity investment.
Other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2022 was materially consistent with three months ended March 31, 2021.
The income tax provision and benefits that we recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021 were attributable to the taxable profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses, and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing
33
incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects, mezzanine loan funding requirements, and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans to fund new real estate development and construction, borrowings available under our credit facility, and net proceeds from the opportunistic sale of common stock through our ATM Program, which is discussed below.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements, and capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of equity and debt securities, and the opportunistic disposition of non-core properties. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of March 31, 2022, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $32.9 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development and redevelopment activities. We also had restricted cash in escrow of $6.6 million, some of which is available for capital expenditures and certain operating expenses at our operating properties. As of March 31, 2022, we had $85.0 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $47.0 million of available borrowings under our construction loans to fund development activities.
The Marketplace at Hilltop loan has an outstanding principal balance of $9.6 million and is scheduled to mature in October 2022. We have no other loans scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2022.
ATM Program
On March 10, 2020, we commenced an at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program") through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock and shares of our 6.75% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, to or through our sales agents and, with respect to shares of our common stock, may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through the forward purchaser.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we issued and sold 475,074 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $15.21 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $7.1 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2022, we did not issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM Program. Shares having an aggregate offering price of $205.0 million remained unsold under the ATM Program as of May 3, 2022.
Common Stock Issuance
On January 11, 2022, we completed an underwritten public offering of 4,025,000 shares of common stock, which were pre-purchased from us by the underwriter at a purchase price of $14.45 per share including fees, resulting in net proceeds after offering costs of $58.0 million.
Credit Facility
We have a senior credit facility that was amended and restated on October 3, 2019. The total commitments are $355.0 million, comprised of a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $205.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks. Subject to available borrowing capacity, we intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, mezzanine lending, and development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio, and for working capital. Our unencumbered borrowing pool will support revolving borrowings of up to $150 million as of March 31, 2022. In April 2022, we borrowed $15.0 million under the revolving credit facility.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $700.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2024, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2025.
34
The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85% and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80%, in each case depending on our total leverage. We are also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from Standard and Poor's or Moody's Investor Service, we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on our credit ratings. As of December 31, 2021, LIBOR is phasing out and we are transitioning to alternative reference rates, such as the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") and BSBY.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least up to $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of $567,106,000 and amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received after June 30, 2019;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least up to $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the credit agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than $300.0 million at any time;
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the credit agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time; and
•Maximum aggregate rental revenue from any single tenant of not more than 30% of rental revenues with respect to all leases of unencumbered properties (as defined in the credit agreement).
The credit agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends. However, so long as no default or event of default exists, the credit agreement allows us to pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period in an amount not to exceed the greater of: (i) 95% of adjusted funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreement) or (ii) the amount required for us (a) to maintain our status as a REIT, and (b) to avoid income or excise tax under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. If certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period to the extent necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. The credit agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts the amount of stock and Operating Partnership units that we may repurchase during the term of the credit facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without significant premium or penalty, except for those portions subject to an interest rate swap agreement.
The credit agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants governing the credit agreement.

Certain loans require us to comply with various financial and other covenants, including the maintenance of minimum debt coverage ratios. We are currently not compliant with a lease-up requirement stipulated by the syndicated loan secured by Wills Wharf. The covenant requires the property to be 75% leased, and the property is currently 70% leased. As a result, the loan administrator ordered an appraisal for the property, and we have agreed to pledge $4.3 million of cash as additional collateral for the loan. Currently, we have two leases that are under negotiation with prospective tenants, which, if signed, would fulfill the debt covenant requirement with 90% of the space being leased.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants on our other outstanding indebtedness.

(a) This interest rate swap is subject to BSBY, which has been identified as an alternative to LIBOR.
On April 7, 2022, we entered into a BSBY interest rate cap corridor agreement on a notional amount of $175.0 million. We purchased an interest rate cap at 1.0% and sold an interest rate cap at 3.0% for a net premium of $3.6 million to provide a level of protection from the effect of rising interest rates. The interest rate cap corridor will expire on February 1, 2024.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In connection with our mezzanine lending activities, we have guaranteed payment of portions of certain senior loans of third parties associated with the development projects. As of March 31, 2022, we had an outstanding payment guarantee amount on Interlock Commercial for $37.5 million. We have recorded a $1.7 million liability and corresponding addition to notes receivable relating to the value of this guarantee.
In connection with our Harbor Point Parcel 3 unconsolidated joint venture, we will be responsible for providing a completion guarantee to the lender for this project for approximately $56.5 million.
In connection with our Harbor Point Parcel 4 unconsolidated joint venture, we will be responsible for providing a partial payment guarantee and a completion guarantee to the lender for this project for approximately $38.4 million.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
We may be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our borrowers. These commitments are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheet. As of March 31, 2022, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $15.7 million of unfunded commitments of our notes receivable. We have recorded a $0.4 million credit loss reserve in conjunction with the total unfunded commitments. Such commitments are subject to our borrowers’ satisfaction of certain financial and nonfinancial covenants and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The commitments may or may not be funded depending on a variety of circumstances including timing, credit metric hurdles, and other nonfinancial events occurring.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2022 increased $22.4 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily as a result of timing differences in operating assets and liabilities, as well as increased net operating income from the property portfolio.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash used in investing activities increased $106.5 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to the acquisition of the Exelon Building, increased funding of mezzanine loans, increased contributions to equity investments, and decreased disposition activity.
During the three months ended March 31, 2022, net cash provided by financing activities increased $98.9 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2021 primarily due to an increase in net proceeds from equity issuances and higher net issuances of debt, which was partially offset by increased dividends and distributions paid.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), impairment of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ calculations of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our year-over-year performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, certain costs for interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges, provision for

unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon then-currently available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
