Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Business of Organization
Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a vertically-integrated, self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") with over four decades of experience developing, building, acquiring, and managing high-quality office, retail, and multifamily properties located primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States. The Company also provides general construction and development services to third-party clients, in addition to developing and building properties to be placed in their stabilized portfolio.
The Company is the sole general partner of Armada Hoffler, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and, as of March 31, 2023, 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, 2023, the Company's property portfolio consisted of 57 stabilized operating properties, one operating property not yet stabilized, and one property under development.
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, 2022.
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.
7
Reclassifications
Certain items have been reclassified from their prior year classifications to conform to the current year presentation. Effective for the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company has changed the presentation of its Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. For the three months ended March 31, 2022, the Company reclassified interest income of $3.6 million from non-operating income to operating income. As a result, total revenues and operating income increased by $3.6 million compared to previous reporting. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholder's equity as previously reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("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. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. This ASU also provides optional expedients to enable companies to continue to apply hedge accounting to certain hedging relationships impacted by reference rate reform. Application of the guidance is optional and only available in certain situations. In January 2021, FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The amendments in this standard are elective and principally apply to entities that have derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Similar to ASU No. 2020-04, provisions of this ASU are effective upon issuance. In December 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-06 Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 which became effective immediately upon issuance. ASU 2022-06 deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 to December 31, 2024. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company elected to apply the practical expedients to modifications of qualifying contracts as continuations of the existing contracts rather than as new contracts. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements. Management will continue to evaluate the impacts of reference rate reform.
Other Accounting Policies
See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a description of other accounting principles upon which basis the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared.
3. Segments
The Company operates its business in five reportable segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily real estate, (iv) general contracting and real estate services, and (v) real estate financing. Refer to Note 1 of the Company's Form 10-K for the composition of properties within each property segment. Since the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company introduced real estate financing as a reportable segment. The real estate financing segment includes the Company's mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments on development projects. The change in segmental presentation is a result of the chief operating decision-maker now separately reviewing the results of the real estate financing investments, which are no longer considered to be ad hoc investments, but an evolving portfolio.
Net operating income ("NOI") is the primary measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. NOI is calculated as segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues include rental revenues for the property segments, general contracting and real estate services revenues for the general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest income for the real estate financing segment. Segment expenses include rental expenses and real estate taxes for the property segments, general contracting and real estate services expenses for the general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest expense for the real estate financing segment. Segment NOI for the general contracting and real estate services and real estate financing segments is also referred to as segment gross profit as illustrated in the table below. NOI 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, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. The Company considers NOI 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, construction, and real estate financing 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
Constellation Energy Building
On January 14, 2023, the Company acquired an additional 11% membership interest in the Constellation Energy Building, increasing its ownership interest to 90%, in exchange for full satisfaction of the $12.8 million loan that was extended to the seller upon the acquisition of the property in January 2022.
Equity Method Investments
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, 2023, the Company invested $0.5 million in Harbor Point Parcel 3. The Company has an estimated equity commitment of up to $44.6 million relating to this project. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company's investment in Harbor Point Parcel 3 was $40.0 million and $39.8 million, respectively, which excludes $1.1 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of intra-entity profits eliminated in consolidation. For the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, Harbor Point Parcel 3 had no operating activity; therefore, the Company received no allocated income.
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 has significant influence over the project due to its 50% ownership interest; however, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. This includes activity as the managing member of the entity, which is a power that is retained by the Company's joint venture partner. 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's investment in the project is recorded as an equity method investment in the consolidated balance sheets.
Harbor Point Parcel 4
On April 1, 2022, the Company acquired a 78% interest in Harbor Point Parcel 4, a real estate 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 holds an option to increase its ownership to 90%. The Company is a noncontrolling partner in the real estate venture and will serve as the project's general contractor. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company invested $21.0 million in Harbor Point Parcel 4. The Company has an estimated equity commitment of up to $101.5 million relating to this project. As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company's investment in Harbor Point Parcel 4 was $53.1 million and $32.2 million, respectively, which excludes $0.3 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of intra-entity profits eliminated in consolidation. For the three months ended March 31, 2023, Harbor Point Parcel 4 had no operating activity; therefore, the Company received no allocated income.
Based on the terms of the operating agreement, the Company has concluded that Harbor Point Parcel 4 is a VIE and that the Company holds a variable interest. The Company has significant influence over the project due to its 78% ownership

interest; however, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. This includes activity as the managing member of the entity, which is a power that is retained by the Company's partner. Accordingly, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and, therefore, does not consolidate Harbor Point Parcel 4 in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's investment in the project is recorded as an equity method investment in the consolidated balance sheets.

Solis Gainesville II
On March 29, 2023, the Solis Gainesville II preferred equity investment agreement was modified to adjust the interest rate. The interest rate of 14% remains effective through the first 24 months of the investment. Beginning on October 3, 2024, the investment will bear interest at a rate of 10% for twelve months. On October 3, 2025, the investment will again bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum through maturity. Additionally, the amendment introduced an unused commitment fee of 10% on the unfunded portion of the investment's maximum loan commitment, which is effective January 1, 2023. Both the interest and unused commitment fee compound annually.
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, 2023, the Company had three mezzanine loans (including the City Park 2 and Solis Gainesville II 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 non-accrual status if it does not believe that additional interest accruals will ultimately be collected.
The Company updated the risk ratings for each of its notes receivable as of March 31, 2023 and obtained industry loan loss data relative to these risk ratings. Each of the outstanding loans as of March 31, 2023 was "Pass" rated. The Company's analysis resulted in an allowance for loan losses of approximately $1.7 million as of March 31, 2023. An allowance related to unfunded commitments of approximately $0.2 million as of March 31, 2023 was recorded as Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
At March 31, 2023, the Company reported $133.1 million of notes receivable, net of allowances of $1.5 million. At December 31, 2022, the Company reported $136.0 million of notes receivable, net of allowances of $1.3 million. Changes in the allowance for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):
Three Months Ended March 31, 2023 | Three Months Ended March 31, 2022 | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

Ending balance | $ | 1,495 | $ | 198 | $ | 1,693 | $ | 1,178 | $ | 431 | $ | 1,609 |
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 December 31, 2022, the Company had the Constellation Energy Building note, which bore interest at 3% per annum, on non-accrual status. The principal balance of the note receivable was adequately secured by the seller's partnership interest. On January 14, 2023, the Company acquired an additional 11% membership interest in the Constellation Energy Building, increasing its ownership interest to 90%, in exchange for full satisfaction of the note. As of March 31, 2023, there were no 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, 2023 during the next 12 to 24 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, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Pre-contract costs of $1.4 million and $1.3 million were deferred as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization of pre-contract costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 was $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively.
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, 2023 and December 31, 2022, construction receivables included retentions of $17.5 million and $8.3 million, respectively.

8. Indebtedness
Credit Facility
On August 23, 2022, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $550.0 million credit facility comprised of a $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $300.0 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 increased to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 22, 2027, with two six-month extension options, subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 21, 2028.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, and the term loan facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, 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 revolving credit facility. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investors Service, Inc., the Operating Partnership may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility was $105.0 million and $61.0 million, respectively. The outstanding balance on the term loan facility was $300.0 million as of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of March 31, 2023, the effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility, before giving effect to interest rate caps and swaps, were 6.20% and 6.10%, respectively. After giving
15
effect to interest rate caps and swaps, the effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 4.35% and 3.68%, respectively, as of March 31, 2023. The Operating Partnership 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 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 under the Credit Agreement.
M&T Term Loan Facility
On December 6, 2022, the Company, as parent guarantor, and the Operating Partnership, as borrower, entered into a term loan agreement (the "M&T term loan agreement") with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as lender and administrative agent, which provides a $100.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "M&T term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $200.0 million, subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain conditions. The proceeds from the M&T term loan facility were used to repay the loans secured by the Wills Wharf, 249 Central Park Retail, Fountain Plaza Retail, and South Retail properties. The M&T term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of March 8, 2027, with a one-year extension option, subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee.
The M&T term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by the Operating Partnership based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on the Company's total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by M&T Bank as its “prime rate” for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50%, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.00%. The Operating Partnership has elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., the Operating Partnership may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
As of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the M&T term loan facility was $100.0 million. As of March 31, 2023, the effective interest rate on the M&T term loan facility, before giving effect to interest rate swaps, was 6.10%. After giving effect to interest rate swaps, the effective interest rate on the M&T term loan facility was 4.80% as of March 31, 2023. The Operating Partnership may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the M&T term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided certain conditions are met.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the M&T term loan facility, and its obligations under the M&T term loan facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty. The M&T term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Company's ability to borrow under the M&T term loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions. The term loan 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 M&T term loan facility to be immediately due and payable.
The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants under the M&T term loan agreement.
Other 2023 Financing Activity
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company borrowed $2.7 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, 2023, the Company had the following London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR"), SOFR, and Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY") interest rate caps ($ in thousands):
Effective Date | Maturity Date | Notional Amount | Strike Rate | Premium Paid | |||||||||||||||||||||||||

________________________________________
(a) Designated as a cash flow hedge.
(b) The Company purchased interest rate caps at 1.00% and sold interest rate caps at 3.00%, resulting in interest rate cap corridors of 1.00% and 3.00%. The intended goal of these corridors is to provide a level of protection from the effect of rising interest rates and reduce the all-in cost of the derivative instrument.
(c) This amount represents the sum of the premiums paid on the original instruments. The caps were blended and extended for a net zero premium during the year ended December 31, 2022.
(d) Represents the notional amount as of March 31, 2023. The notional amount is scheduled to increase over the term of the corridor in accordance with projected borrowings on the associated loan. The maximum notional amount that will eventually be in effect is $73.6 million.
(e) Effective April 4, 2023, these interest rate caps were terminated and replaced with a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap, effective April 3, 2023, with a notional amount of $175.0 million and SOFR rate of 1.84%. The interest rate swap will expire on February 1, 2024. The Company did not pay a premium for this transaction.

(b) Effective February 1, 2023, this swap was amended to reference the 1-month SOFR index. Prior to the amendment, the swap referenced the 1-month LIBOR index.
(c) Effective February 1, 2023, this swap was amended to reference the Daily SOFR index. Prior to the amendment, the swap referenced the 1-month LIBOR index.
(d) Effective April 3, 2023, this swap was amended to reference the Daily SOFR index with a fixed rate of 0.93%.
For the interest rate swaps and caps designated as cash flow hedges, realized gains and losses are reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss) to interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income due to payments received from and paid to the counterparty. During the next 12 months, the Company anticipates recognizing approximately $10.4 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.
The Company’s derivatives were comprised of the following as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022 (in thousands):

10. Equity
Stockholders’ Equity
On March 10, 2020, the Company commenced an at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program") through which the Company may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of its common stock and shares of its 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 its sales agents and, with respect to shares of its common stock, may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through the forward purchaser.
18
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock or 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 5, 2023.
Noncontrolling Interests
As of both March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the Company held a 76.7% economic interest in the Operating Partnership, respectively. As of March 31, 2023, the Company also held a preferred interest in the Operating Partnership in the form of preferred units with a liquidation preference of $171.1 million. The Company is the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership as it has the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership and the rights to absorb 76.7% of the net income of the Operating Partnership. As the primary beneficiary, the Company consolidates the financial position and results of operations of the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership represent units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership not held by the Company. As of March 31, 2023, there were 20,611,190 Class A units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("Class A Units") not held by the Company. The Company's financial position and results of operations are the same as those of the Operating Partnership.
Additionally, the Operating Partnership owns a majority interest in certain non-wholly-owned operating and development properties. The noncontrolling interest for consolidated real estate entities was $10.8 million and $24.1 million as of March 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively, which represents the minority partners' interest in certain joint venture entities.

11. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan (the "Equity Plan") permits the grant of restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, and other equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 1,700,000 shares of common stock. As of March 31, 2023, there were no shares available for issuance under the Equity Plan.
As a result of the Company inadvertently issuing more shares of common stock than were available for issuance under the Equity Plan, on May 9, 2023, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer forfeited 75,321 and 8,975 restricted shares of common stock, respectively.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, the Company granted an aggregate of 298,163 shares of restricted stock to employees and non-employee directors with a weighted average grant date fair value of $12.88 per share. Of those shares, 87,513 were surrendered by the employees for income tax withholdings. Employee restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of two years: one-third immediately on the grant date and the remaining two-thirds in equal amounts on the first two anniversaries following the grant date, subject to continued service to the Company. 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.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $2.1 million and $1.8 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation cost. As of March 31, 2023, there were 297,462 non-vested restricted shares outstanding; the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares was $2.9 million, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 51 months.

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.
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, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):

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, 2023, the Company has an outstanding letter of credit for $1.9 million to secure certain performances of the Company's subsidiary construction company under a related party project.
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, 2023, the Company had three notes receivable with a total of $11.5 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, 2023, the Company has recorded a $0.2 million CECL allowance that relates to the unfunded commitments, which was recorded as a liability in Other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
References to "we," "our," "us," and "our company" refer to Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, including Armada Hoffler, L.P., a Virginia limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of which we are the sole general partner. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "estimate," "project," "should," "will," "result," and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data, or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise, and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
•adverse economic or real estate developments, either nationally or in the markets in which our properties are located;
•our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;

Acquisitions
On January 14, 2023, we acquired an additional 11% membership interest in the Constellation Energy Building, increasing our ownership interest to 90%, in exchange for full satisfaction of the $12.8 million loan that was extended to the seller upon the acquisition of the property in January 2022.
Preferred Equity Investments
On March 29, 2023, the Solis Gainesville II preferred equity investment was modified to adjust the interest rate. The interest rate of 14% remains effective through the first 24 months of the investment. Beginning on October 3, 2024, the investment will bear interest at a rate of 10% for 12 months. On October 3, 2025, the investment will again bear interest at a rate of 14% through maturity. Additionally, the amendment introduced an unused commitment fee of 10% on the unfunded portion of the investment's maximum loan commitment, which is effective January 1, 2023. Both the interest and unused commitment fee compound annually. The preferred equity investment remains subject to minimum interest guarantee of $5.9 million over the life of the investment.
First Quarter 2023 and Recent Highlights
The following highlights our results of operations and significant transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and other recent developments:
•Net income attributable to common stockholders and holders ("OP Unitholders") of units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership ("OP Units") of $2.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, compared to $9.3 million, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
•Funds from operations attributable to common stockholders and OP Unitholders ("FFO") of $20.6 million, or $0.23 per diluted share, compared to $27.6 million, or $0.31 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures."
•Normalized funds from operations attributable to common stockholders and OP Unitholders ("Normalized FFO") of $26.5 million, or $0.30 per diluted share, compared to $24.5 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the three months ended March 31, 2022.
•Maintained 97% portfolio occupancy as of March 31, 2023. Office occupancy remained at 97%, retail occupancy remained at 98%, and multifamily occupancy remained at 96%.
•Positive renewal spreads during the first quarter in both the office and retail segments:
◦Lease rates on first quarter office lease renewals increased 10.9% on a GAAP basis.
◦Lease rates on first quarter retail lease renewals increased 10.1% on a GAAP basis.
•Same Store net operating income ("NOI") increased 4.3% on a GAAP basis, compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2022:
◦Office Same Store NOI increased 2.1% on a GAAP basis.
◦Retail Same Store NOI increased 4.9% on a GAAP basis.
◦Multifamily Same Store NOI increased 5.1% on a GAAP basis.
•Announced the $215 million acquisition of The Interlock in West Midtown Atlanta, which we anticipate completing in the second quarter, subject to customary closing conditions. We anticipate financing the transaction with $100 million
26
of new fixed-rate financing in addition to the conversion of our existing mezzanine loan into equity and the issuance of OP Units to the sponsor developer.
•Announced that the Board of Directors declared a cash dividend of $0.195 per common share, representing a 3% increase over the prior quarter's dividend.
Segment Results of Operations
As of March 31, 2023, we operated our business in five segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily real estate, (iv) general contracting and real estate services, and (v) real estate financing. Our general contracting and real estate services segment is conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"). Net operating income ("NOI") is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. We calculate NOI as segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues include rental revenues for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services revenues for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest income for our real estate financing segment. Segment expenses include rental expenses and real estate taxes for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services expenses for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest expense for our real estate financing segment. 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.

Real Estate Financing Segment Data
During the first quarter of 2023, we updated our reportable segments to include real estate financing. This segment includes our mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments on development projects. The addition of the real estate financing segment is consistent with how we view our operating performance and how the chief operational decision maker allocates our resources. The change in segmental presentation is a result of our continued investment in development projects through financing, which we no longer consider to be ad hoc investments, but an evolving portfolio. We also believe this change in segmental presentation further assists stockholders in assessing pertinent information about our operating performance.

General contracting and real estate services revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $59.6 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to the timing of commencement of new third party construction projects in 2023 and the completion of other projects.
Interest income for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 4.2% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to higher notes receivable balance in the current period from the City Park 2 and Gainesville II real estate financing investments. This increase was partially offset by the repayment of the Nexton Multifamily real estate financing investment during the fourth quarter of 2022.

Office rental expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 23.3% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the acquisition of the Constellation Office and increased occupancy at Wills Wharf.
Retail rental expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 1.8% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the acquisition of Pembroke Square in November 2022.
Multifamily rental expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased 14.6% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the dispositions of The Residences of Annapolis Junction, Hoffler Place, and Summit Place, partially offset by the acquisition of 1035 Dock Street and the commencement of operations at Chronicle Mill.

Office real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 39.3% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to recognized real estate tax refunds at Wills Wharf in the first quarter of 2022, the acquisition of the Constellation Office, and increases in property assessments.
Retail real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 were materially consistent.
Multifamily real estate taxes for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased 33.2% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to the dispositions of The Residences of Annapolis Junction, Hoffler Place, and Summit Place.
General contracting and real estate services expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased $57.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 due to new third party contracts undertaken in 2023.

Depreciation and amortization for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was materially consistent with the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Amortization of right-of-use assets - finance leases for the three months ended March 31, 2023 was materially consistent with the three months ended March 31, 2022.
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 15.7% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to higher compensation, benefits, and training and development resulting from increased investment in human capital, as well as an increase in professional services expense.
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the three months ended March 31, 2023 were materially consistent with the three months ended March 31, 2022.
Impairment charges for the three months ended March 31, 2023 and March 31, 2022 were immaterial.
Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2023 increased 36.2% compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022, primarily due to higher levels of average indebtedness in connection with the funding of development projects, real estate financing investments, and acquisitions, partially offset by debt paid off in connection with dispositions. The increase is also attributable to the amortization of debt financing costs incurred from refinancings that took place in the latter half of 2022, as well as rising interest rates, largely offset by hedging interest rate derivatives.
There was no loss on extinguishment of debt for the three months ended March 31, 2023. Loss on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily relates to the payoffs of the loans secured by Red Mill West and Delray Beach Plaza.
The change in fair value of derivatives and other for the three months ended March 31, 2023 includes fair value decreases for our derivative instruments due to decreases in forward LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate), SOFR (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate) and BSBY (the Bloomberg Short-Term Yield Index).
Changes in unrealized credit loss provision for the three months ended March 31, 2023 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 were primarily the result of increases in notes receivable balances from real estate financing investments.
Other income (expense), net for the three months ended March 31, 2023 decreased compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022. The decrease was immaterial.
The income tax provision and benefits that we recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2023 and 2022 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 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.
33
As of March 31, 2023, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $33.8 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development and redevelopment activities. We also had restricted cash in escrow of $2.6 million, some of which is available for capital expenditures and certain operating expenses at our operating properties. As of March 31, 2023, we had $145.0 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $78.3 million of available borrowings under our construction loans to fund development activities. During the three months ended March 31, 2023, we increased outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility by $44.0 million, which were largely used to fund our investments in the Southern Post and Harbor Point Parcel 4 mixed-use development projects.
We have no loans scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2023.
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, 2023, we did not issue any shares of common stock or 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 5, 2023.
Credit Facility
On August 23, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $550.0 million credit facility comprised of a $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $300.0 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.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 22, 2027, 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 21, 2028.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, and the term loan facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, in each case depending on our total leverage. We also are 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 the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings. Our unencumbered borrowing pool will support revolving borrowings of up to $196.4 million, as of March 31, 2023.
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 $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 (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
34
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) 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 $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 $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The Credit Agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. 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 our ability to repurchase stock and units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership 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 under the Credit Agreement.
M&T Term Loan Facility
On December 6, 2022, we entered into a term loan agreement (the "M&T term loan agreement") with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, which provides a $100.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "M&T term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $200.0 million, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. The M&T term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of March 8, 2027, with a one-year extension option, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee.
The M&T term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by us based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on our total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by M&T Bank as its “prime rate” for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50%, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.00%. We have elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the M&T term loan facility, and its obligations under the M&T term loan facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The M&T term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the M&T term loan facility is subject to 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 $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the M&T term loan facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
35
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the M&T term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the M&T term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) 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 $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the M&T term loan facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The M&T term loan agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The M&T term loan 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 our ability to repurchase stock and units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership during the term of the M&T term loan facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the M&T term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided certain conditions are met.
The M&T term loan 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 M&T term loan facility to be immediately due and payable. A default under the Credit Agreement would also constitute a default under the M&T term loan agreement.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the M&T term loan agreement.

________________________________________
(a) We purchased interest rate caps at 1.00% and sold interest rate caps at 3.00%, resulting in interest rate cap corridors of 1.00% and 3.00%. The intended goal of these corridors is to provide a level of protection from the effect of rising interest rates and reduce the all-in cost of the derivative instrument.
(b) Effective April 4, 2023, these interest rate caps were terminated and replaced with a floating-to-fixed interest rate swap, effective April 3, 2023, with a notional amount of $175.0 million and SOFR rate of 1.84%. The interest rate swap will expire on February 1, 2024. We did not pay a premium for this transaction.
(c) Represents the notional amount as of March 31, 2023. The notional amount is scheduled to increase over the term of the corridor in accordance with projected borrowings on the associated loan. The maximum notional amount that will eventually be in effect is $73.6 million.

In connection with certain of our real estate financing activities and equity method investments, we have made guarantees to pay portions of certain senior loans of third parties associated with the development projects. The following table summarizes the guarantees made by us as of March 31, 2023 (in thousands):
Development project | Payment guarantee amount | Guarantee liability | ||||||||||||
Interlock Commercial (a) | $ | 37,450 | $ | 386 | ||||||||||
Harbor Point Parcel 4 (b) | 32,910 | 177 | ||||||||||||
Total | $ | 70,360 | $ | 563 |
_______________________________________
(a) This guarantee is subject to cancellation pending completion of the acquisition of The Interlock.
(b) As of March 31, 2023, no amounts have been funded on this senior loan.
In connection with our Harbor Point Parcel 3 unconsolidated joint venture, we are responsible for providing a completion guarantee to the lender for this project.
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, 2023, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $11.5 million of unfunded commitments of our notes receivable. We have recorded a $0.2 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, 2023 decreased $17.5 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily as a result of timing differences in operating assets and liabilities, partially offset by increased NOI from the property portfolio.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash used in investing activities decreased $86.3 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to decreased development activity and less cash invested in the acquisition of operating properties.
During the three months ended March 31, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities decreased $83.2 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2022 primarily due to lower levels of net borrowings and the proceeds of a common stock offering received in the three months ended March 31, 2022.
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 depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains or losses from the sales of certain real estate assets, gains or losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.
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 period-over-period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs.
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 period-over-period 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, amortization of payments made to purchase 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. Other equity REITs may not calculate Normalized FFO in the same manner as we do, and, accordingly, our Normalized FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' Normalized FFO.

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. We discuss the accounting policies and estimates that are most critical to understanding our reported financial results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
