EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2016 of Kite Realty Group Trust, Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its subsidiaries. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Kite Realty Group Trust" or the "Parent Company" mean Kite Realty Group Trust, and references to the "Operating Partnership" mean Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership is engaged in the ownership and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in select markets in the United States. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and as of September 30, 2016 owned approximately 97.7% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.3% of the common partnership interests (“Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”) were owned by the limited partners.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report benefits investors by:


•	enhancing investors' understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;


•	eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation of information because a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership; and


•	creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The Parent Company has no material assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company issues public equity from time to time but does not have any indebtedness as all debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Parent Company currently does not nor does it intend to guarantee any debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership has numerous wholly-owned subsidiaries, and it also owns interests in certain joint ventures. These subsidiaries and joint ventures own and operate retail shopping centers and other real estate assets. The Operating Partnership is structured as a partnership with no publicly-traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the business through its operations, its placement of indebtedness and the issuance of Limited Partner Units to third parties.

Shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. In order to highlight this and other differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are separate sections in this report, as applicable, that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the collective Company.

Kite Realty Group Trust and Kite Realty Group, L.P. and subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2016

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. Organization

Kite Realty Group Trust (the "Parent Company"), through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in selected markets in the United States. The terms "Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership was formed on August 16, 2004, when the Parent Company contributed properties and the net proceeds from an initial public offering of shares of its common stock to the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company was organized in Maryland in 2004 to succeed in the development, acquisition, construction and real estate businesses of its predecessor. We believe the Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and as of September 30, 2016 owned approximately 97.7% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.3% of the common partnership interests (“Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”) were owned by the limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are operated as one enterprise. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.

At September 30, 2016, we owned interests in 120 operating and redevelopment properties consisting of 109 retail properties, nine retail redevelopment properties, one office operating property and an associated parking garage. We also owned one development property under construction as of this date.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, Investments in Joint Ventures, and Noncontrolling Interests

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the presentation not misleading. The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2016 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary in the opinion of management to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis.

Consolidation and Investments in Joint Ventures

The accompanying financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are controlled and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities, (b) does not have equity investors with voting rights or (c) has equity investors whose votes are disproportionate from their economics and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights.

As of January 1, 2016, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis, as required. See the below section entitled "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements" for further details. The Operating Partnership accounts for properties that are owned by joint ventures in accordance with the consolidation guidance. The Operating Partnership evaluates each joint venture and determines first whether to follow the VIE or the voting interest entity ("VOE") model. Once the appropriate consolidation model is identified, the Operating Partnership then evaluates whether it should consolidate the joint venture. Under the VIE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the VOE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when (i) it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest if the entity is not a limited partnership or (ii) it controls the entity through its ability to remove the other partners or owners in the entity, at its discretion, when the entity is a limited partnership.

In determining whether to consolidate a VIE with the Operating Partnership, we consider all relationships between the Operating Partnership and the applicable VIE, including development agreements, management agreements and other contractual arrangements, in determining whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE's performance. We also periodically reassess primary beneficiary status of the VIE. Prior to the adoption of ASC 2015-02, we treated one of our consolidated joint ventures as a VIE. As a result of the adoption of ASC 2015-02, we concluded that two additional previously-consolidated joint ventures of the Operating Partnership were VIEs as the partners did not have substantive participating rights and we were the primary beneficiary. As a result, as of September 30, 2016, we owned investments in three joint ventures that were VIEs in which we were the primary beneficiary. As of this date, these VIEs had total debt of $237.7 million, which were secured by assets of the VIEs totaling $498.9 million. The Operating Partnership guarantees the debt of these VIEs. These conclusions did not impact the Company's financial position or results of operations.

As part of the adoption of ASC 2015-02, the Company concluded the Operating Partnership was a VIE as the limited partners do not hold kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership as it is the primary beneficiary in accordance with the VIE model.

Beacon Hill

In June 2015, we acquired our partner's interest in our Beacon Hill operating property. The transaction was accounted for as an equity transaction as we retained our controlling financial interest.

Income Taxes and REIT Compliance

Parent Company

The Parent Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax purposes, has been organized and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to federal income tax on the earnings that it distributes to the extent it distributes its “REIT

taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to shareholders of the Parent Company and meets certain other requirements on a recurring basis. To the extent that it satisfies this distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income even if the Parent Company does qualify as a REIT. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts sufficient to assist the Parent Company in adhering to REIT requirements and maintaining its REIT status.

We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future. This election enables us to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for a REIT. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized.

Operating Partnership

The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership's partners. Accordingly, the only federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with the Operating Partnership's taxable REIT subsidiary.

Noncontrolling Interests

We report the non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity, and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to these noncontrolling interests is set forth separately in the consolidated financial statements. The noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:



	2016			2015
Noncontrolling interests balance January 1	$	773		$	3,364
Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests, excluding redeemable noncontrolling interests	147			84
Distributions to noncontrolling interests	(222		)	(87		)
Acquisition of partner's interest in Beacon Hill	—			(2,353		)
Noncontrolling interests balance at September 30	$	698		$	1,008

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Limited Partners

Limited Partner Units are redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because we may be required to pay cash to holders of Limited Partner Units upon redemption of their interests in the Operating Partnership or deliver registered shares upon their conversion. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests exceeded the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to redemption value.

We allocate net operating results of the Operating Partnership after preferred dividends and noncontrolling interests in the consolidated properties based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interest. We adjust the redeemable

noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each reporting period to reflect their interests in the Operating Partnership or redemption value. This adjustment is reflected in our shareholders’ and Parent Company's equity. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, the weighted average interests of the Parent Company and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership were as follows:



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016		2015		2016		2015
Parent Company’s weighted average basic interest in Operating Partnership	97.7	%	97.8	%	97.7	%	97.9	%
Limited partners' weighted average basic interests in Operating Partnership	2.3	%	2.2	%	2.3	%	2.1	%

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.7% and 2.3% and 97.8% and 2.2%, respectively.

Concurrent with the Parent Company’s initial public offering and related formation transactions, certain individuals received Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests in certain properties. The limited partners were granted the right to redeem Limited Partner Units on or after August 16, 2005 for cash or, at the Parent Company's election, common shares of the Parent Company in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of common shares of the Parent Company at the time of redemption. Such common shares must be registered, which is not fully in the Parent Company’s control. Therefore, the limited partners’ interest is not reflected in permanent equity. The Parent Company also has the right to redeem the Limited Partner Units directly from the limited partner in exchange for either cash in the amount specified above or a number of its common shares equal to the number of Limited Partner Units being redeemed. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, 5,000 and 7,000 Limited Partner Units were exchanged for the same number of common shares of the Parent Company.

There were 1,942,840 and 1,901,278 Limited Partner Units outstanding as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively. The increase in Limited Partner Units outstanding from December 31, 2015 is due primarily to non-cash compensation awards made to our executive officers in the form of Limited Partner Units.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Subsidiaries

Prior to the merger with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") in 2014, Inland Diversified formed joint ventures with the previous owners of certain properties and issued Class B units in three joint ventures that indirectly own those properties. The Class B units related to two of these three joint ventures remain outstanding subsequent to the merger with Inland Diversified and are accounted for as noncontrolling interests in these properties. The Class B units will become redeemable at our applicable partner’s election at future dates generally beginning in March 2017 or October 2022 based on the applicable joint venture and the fulfillment of certain redemption criteria. Beginning in June 2018 and November 2022, with respect to the applicable joint venture, the Class B units can be redeemed at the election of either our partner or us for cash or Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership. None of the issued Class B units have a maturity date and none are mandatorily redeemable. We consolidate these joint ventures because we control the decision making of each of the joint ventures and our joint venture partners have limited protective rights.

On February 13, 2015, we acquired our partner’s redeemable interest in the City Center operating property for $34.0 million and other non-redeemable rights and interests held by our partner for $0.4 million. We funded this acquisition in part with a $30 million draw on our unsecured revolving credit facility and the remainder in Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership. As a result of this transaction, our guarantee of a $26.6 million loan on behalf of LC White Plains Retail, LLC and LC White Plains Recreation, LLC was terminated.

We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because, under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay cash to Class B unitholders in specific subsidiaries upon redemption of their interests. The carrying amount of these redeemable noncontrolling interests is required to be reflected at the greater of initial book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the redemption amounts of these interests did not exceed the fair value of each interest. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests exceeded the initial book value.

The redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were as follows:



	2016			2015
Redeemable noncontrolling interests balance January 1	$	92,315		$	125,082
Acquisition of partner's interest in City Center operating property	—			(33,998		)
Net income allocable to redeemable noncontrolling interests	1,244			1,541
Distributions declared to redeemable noncontrolling interests	(2,973		)	(2,810		)
Other, net, including adjustments to redemption value	8,892			(2,858		)
Total limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership and other redeemable noncontrolling interests balance at September 30	$	99,478		$	86,957


Limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership	$	55,368		$	46,166
Other redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries	44,110			40,791
Total limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership and other redeemable noncontrolling interests balance at September 30	$	99,478		$	86,957

Fair Value Measurements

We follow the framework established under accounting standard FASB ASC 820 for measuring fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis but only in certain circumstances, such as a business combination or upon determination of an impairment.

Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on the consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:


•	Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments to which we have access.


•	Level 2 fair value inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar instruments, either directly or indirectly, and appropriately considers counterparty creditworthiness in the valuations.


•	Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an instrument at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate.

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

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 consolidated financial statement presentation. The reclassifications had no impact on net income previously reported.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2014-9, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-9”). ASU 2014-9 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing GAAP revenue recognition guidance. It will also affect the existing GAAP guidance governing the sale of nonfinancial assets. The new standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it satisfies performance obligations by transferring promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. In doing so, companies will need to exercise more judgment and make more estimates than under existing GAAP guidance.

Under this standard, entities will now generally recognize the sale, and any associated gain or loss, of a real estate property when control of the property transfers, as long as collectability of the consideration is probable. The new standard also amends ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 340-40, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are recognized as an asset if the entity expects to recover them. Other costs related to originating a revenue transaction, such as salary expense, that is based on other qualitative or quantitative metrics likely do not meet the criteria for capitalization because they are not directly related to obtaining a contract. Upon adoption of the new standard, we expect an increase in general, administrative, and other expense and a decrease in amortization expense on our consolidated statement of operations, as well as a decrease in capitalized leasing costs on our consolidated balance sheets. We are currently evaluating the impact adopting the new accounting standard and the transition method of such adoption will have on our consolidated financial statements.

ASU 2014-9 is effective for public entities for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is not permitted. ASU 2014-9 allows for either recognizing the cumulative effect of application (i) at the start of the earliest comparative period presented (with the option to use any or all of three practical expedients) or (ii) as a cumulative effect adjustment as of the date of initial application, with no restatement of comparative periods presented.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Consolidation: Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. ASU 2015-02 makes changes to both the VIE and VOE models, amended the criteria for determining VIEs and eliminated the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership. All reporting entities involved with limited partnerships and similar entities were required to re-evaluate whether these entities, including the Operating Partnership, are subject to the VIE or VOE model and whether they qualify for consolidation. We adopted ASU 2015-02 in the first quarter of 2016 and, although we classified two additional consolidated joint ventures of the Operating Partnership as VIEs (for a total of three consolidated VIEs as of March 31, 2016), there was no material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"). ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability. Prior to the issuance of ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs were required to be presented as deferred charge assets, separate from the related debt liability. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-03 retrospectively in the first quarter of 2016. As a result of the retrospective adoption, we reclassified unamortized deferred financing costs of $9.6 million as of December 31, 2015, from deferred costs and intangibles, net to a reduction in mortgage and other indebtedness, net on our consolidated balance sheets. Other than this reclassification, the adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In September 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-16, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Simplifying the Accounting for Measurement-Period Adjustments. ASU 2015-16 eliminates the requirement for an acquirer in a business combination to account

for measurement-period adjustments retrospectively. ASU 2015-16 requires that an acquirer must recognize measurement-period adjustments in the period in which they determine the amounts, including the effect on earnings of any amounts they would have recorded in previous periods if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date. ASU 2015-16 is effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2015. We adopted ASU 2015-16 in the first quarter of 2016 and there was no effect on our consolidated financial statements as we did not have any business combinations during this period.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making certain changes to lessor accounting, including the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. ASU 2016-02 will be effective for annual and interim reporting periods beginning on or after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The new standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief. We are currently evaluating the impact adopting the new accounting standard will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 3. Earnings Per Share or Unit

Basic earnings per share or unit is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares or units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share or unit is determined based on the weighted average common number of shares or units outstanding during the period combined with the incremental average common shares or units that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares or units into common shares or units as of the earliest date possible.

Potentially dilutive securities include outstanding options to acquire common shares; Limited Partner Units, which may be exchanged for either cash or common shares, at the Parent Company’s option and under certain circumstances; units under our Outperformance Incentive Compensation Plan; potential settlement of redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain joint ventures; and deferred common share units, which may be credited to the personal accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash compensation or the issuance of common shares to such trustees. Limited Partner Units have been omitted from the Parent Company’s denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share because the effect of including these amounts in the denominator would have no dilutive impact. Weighted average Limited Partner Units outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 were 1.9 million and 1.8 million, respectively.

Approximately 0.2 million and 0.1 million outstanding options to acquire common shares were excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share or unit because their impact was not dilutive for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Due to the net loss allocable to common shareholders and Common Unit holders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, no securities had a dilutive impact for these periods.

Note 4. Mortgage and Other Indebtedness

Mortgage and other indebtedness consisted of the following as of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015:



	As of September 30, 2016

Total mortgage and other indebtedness	$	1,717,538	$	16,521	$	(9,610	)	$	1,724,449

Consolidated indebtedness, including weighted average maturities and weighted average interest rates as of September 30, 2016, considering the impact of interest rate swaps, is summarized below:



	Outstanding Amount		Ratio		Weighted Average Interest Rate		Weighted Average Maturity (Years)
Fixed rate debt¹	$	1,648,718	95	%	4.13	%	6.7
Variable rate debt	83,616		5	%	2.03	%	5.4
Net debt premiums and issuance costs, net	10		N/A		N/A		N/A
Total	$1,732,344		100	%	4.03	%	6.6



____________________
1	Fixed rate debt includes, and variable rate debt excludes, the portion of such debt that has been hedged by interest rate derivatives. As of September 30, 2016, $474.7 million in variable rate debt is hedged for a weighted average 2.9 years.

Mortgage indebtedness is collateralized by certain real estate properties and leases. Mortgage indebtedness is generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal and mature over various terms through 2030.

Variable interest rates on mortgage indebtedness are based on LIBOR plus spreads ranging from 160 to 225 basis points. At September 30, 2016, the one-month LIBOR interest rate was 0.53%. Fixed interest rates on mortgage indebtedness range from 3.78% to 6.78%.

Seven-Year Unsecured Term Loan

On June 29, 2016, we drew the remaining $100 million on our $200 million seven-year unsecured term loan and used the proceeds to pay down the unsecured revolving credit facility. We had $200 million outstanding on our seven-year unsecured term loan as of September 30, 2016.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loan

On July 28, 2016, the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the “amended credit agreement”) with respect to our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility maturing July 28, 2020 (with two six-month extension options), our $200 million unsecured term loan maturing July 1, 2019 ("Term Loan A") and our $200 million unsecured term loan maturing July 28, 2021 ("Term Loan B"). As noted below, we paid off Term Loan A during the quarter with the proceeds from the issuance of our 4.00% Senior Notes due October 1, 2026.

The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the borrowing availability of the unsecured revolving credit facility to $1 billion and, the option to increase Term Loan B to provide for an additional $200 million, in each case subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders.

Borrowings under the amended credit agreement with respect to (i) the unsecured revolving credit facility bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 135 to 195 basis points, (ii) Term Loan A (prior to its payoff) bore interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 135 to 190 basis points, and (iii) Term Loan B bear interest at a rate of LIBOR plus an applicable margin of 130 to 190 basis points, in each case depending on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio and subject to certain exceptions.

The Operating Partnership is required to pay a quarterly facility fee on the unused portion of the unsecured revolving credit facility ranging from 15 to 25 basis points.

As of September 30, 2016, $43.7 million was outstanding under the unsecured revolving credit facility. Additionally, we had letters of credit outstanding which totaled $12.2 million, against which no amounts were advanced as of September 30, 2016.

The amount that we may borrow under our unsecured revolving credit facility is limited by the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool. As of September 30, 2016, the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool was $413.2 million. Taking into account outstanding borrowings and letters of credit, we had $401 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facility for future borrowings as of September 30, 2016.

Our ability to borrow under the unsecured revolving credit facility is subject to our compliance with various restrictive and financial covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales. As of September 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Senior Unsecured Notes

On September 26, 2016, the Operating Partnership completed a $300 million public offering of 4.00% Senior Notes due October 1, 2026 ("the Notes"). The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were utilized to retire the $200 million Term Loan A and retire the $75.9 million construction loan secured by our Parkside Town Commons operating property and to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility. The Notes contain a number of customary financial and restrictive covenants. As of September 30, 2016, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Other Debt Activity

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we had total new borrowings of $550.2 million and total repayments of $531.1 million. In addition to the items mentioned above, the remaining components of this activity were as follows:

•

In the first nine months of 2016, we retired the $16.3 million loan secured by our Cool Creek Commons operating property, the $23.6 million loan secured by our Sunland Towne Centre operating property, the $20.3 million loan secured by our Mullins Crossing operating property, the $16.5 million loan secured by our Pine Ridge Crossing operating property, the $9.9 million loan secured by our Riverchase Plaza operating property and the $42.2 million loan secured by our Traders Point operating property;


•	We borrowed $150.2 million on the unsecured revolving credit facility to fund the above retirements of secured debt and for general business purposes;


•	In the third quarter of 2016, we refinanced the $56.9 million construction loan secured by our Delray Marketplace operating property and extended the maturity of the loan to February 2022;


•	In the third quarter of 2016, we incurred $6.5 million of debt issuance costs related to amending the unsecured term loans and completing the issuance of our senior unsecured notes.


•	In the third quarter of 2016, we recorded $1.2 million in non-cash accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs as a result of amending the unsecured revolving credit facility, the unsecured term loans, retiring Term Loan A, retiring the Parkside Town Commons construction loan and refinancing the Delray Marketplace construction loan; and


•	We made scheduled principal payments on indebtedness totaling $4.3 million in the first nine months of 2016.

See Note 13 for indebtedness transactions occurring subsequent to September 30, 2016.

Fair Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt

As of September 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt was $1.3 billion compared to the book value of $1.2 billion. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 3.78% to 6.78%. As of September 30, 2016, the fair value of variable rate debt was $601.1 million compared to the book value of $558.3 million. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 1.83% to 2.78%.

Note 5. Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Other Comprehensive Income

In order to manage potential future volatility relating to variable interest rate risk, we enter into interest rate hedging agreements from time to time. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes, nor do we have any derivatives that are not designated as cash flow hedges. The agreements with each of our derivative counterparties provide that, in the event of default on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.

As of September 30, 2016, we were party to various cash flow hedge agreements with notional amounts totaling $474.7 million. These hedge agreements effectively fix the interest rate underlying certain variable rate debt instruments over terms ranging from 2017 through 2021. Utilizing a weighted average interest rate spread over LIBOR on all variable rate debt resulted in fixing the weighted average interest rate at 3.17%.

In January 2016, we entered into two forward-starting interest rate swaps that effectively fixed the interest rate on $150 million of previously unhedged variable rate debt at 3.208%. The effective date of the swaps was June 30, 2016, and they will expire on July 1, 2021.

These interest rate hedge agreements are the only assets or liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation of these assets and liabilities is determined using widely accepted techniques including discounted cash flow analysis. These techniques consider the contractual terms of the derivatives (including the period to maturity) and use observable market-based inputs such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments into the fair value measurements to reflect nonperformance risk on both our part and that of the respective counterparties.

We determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, although the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. As of September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we determined our derivative valuations were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2016, the estimated fair value of our interest rate hedges was a liability of $11.0 million, including accrued interest of $0.4 million. As of September 30, 2016, $11.0 million was reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. At December 31, 2015, the estimated fair value of our interest rate hedges was a net liability of $4.8 million, including accrued interest of $0.4 million. As of December 31, 2015, $0.2 million was reflected in prepaid and other assets and $5.0 million was reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, $3.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively, were reclassified as a reduction to earnings. As the interest payments on our hedges are made over the next 12 months, we estimate the impact to interest expense to be $3.7 million.

Our share of net unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate hedge agreements are the only components of the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Note 6. Shareholders’ Equity

Distribution Payments

Our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.2875 for the third quarter of 2016 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of October 6, 2016. The distribution was paid on October 13, 2016.

Outperformance Plan

In January 2016, the Compensation Committee of our Board of Trustees adopted the 2016 Outperformance Incentive Compensation Plan for members of executive management and certain other employees, pursuant to which participants are eligible to earn profits interests ("LTIP Units") in the Operating Partnership based on the achievement of certain performance criteria related to the Company’s common shares. Participants in the 2016 Outperformance Incentive Compensation Plan were awarded the right to earn, in the aggregate, up to $6 million of share-settled awards (the “bonus pool”) if, and only to the extent of which, performance measures based on our total shareholder return (“TSR”) are achieved for the three-year period beginning January 4, 2016 and ending December 31, 2018. Awarded interests not earned based on the TSR measures are forfeited.

If the TSR performance measures are achieved at the end of the three-year performance period, participants will receive their percentage interest in the bonus pool as LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership. Such LTIP Units vest over an additional

two-year service period. The compensation cost of the 2016 Outperformance Plan was fixed as of the grant date and will be recognized regardless of whether the LTIP Units are ultimately earned assuming the service requirement is met.

Restricted Award Grants

In February 2016, a total of 103,685 restricted awards were granted to members of executive management and certain other employees. The restricted awards will vest ratably over periods ranging from three to five years.

Performance Awards

In February 2016, the Compensation Committee awarded each of our four named executive officers a three-year performance award in the form of restricted performance share units ("PSUs"). These PSUs may be earned over a three-year performance period from January 1, 2016 to December 31, 2018. The performance criteria are based on the relative total shareholder return achieved by the Company measured against a peer group over the three-year measurement period. Any PSUs earned at the end of the three-year period will be fully vested at that date. The total number of PSUs issued to the executive officers was based on a target value of $1.0 million but may be earned in a range from 0% to 200% of the target value depending on our TSR over the measurement period in relation to the peer group.

At-the-Market Equity Program

During the third quarter of 2016, we issued 137,229 of our common shares at an average price per share of $29.52 pursuant to our at-the-market equity program, generating gross proceeds of approximately $4.1 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $3.8 million. The proceeds from these offerings were contributed to the Operating Partnership and used to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Note 7. Deferred Costs and Intangibles, net

Deferred costs consist primarily of acquired lease intangible assets, broker fees and capitalized salaries and related benefits incurred in connection with lease originations. Deferred leasing costs, lease intangibles and similar costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, deferred costs consisted of the following:



	September 30, 2016			December 31, 2015
Acquired lease intangible assets	$	126,515		$	138,796
Deferred leasing costs and other	63,116			55,332
	189,631			194,128
Less—accumulated amortization	(56,517		)	(45,854		)
Total	$	133,114		$	148,274

The accompanying consolidated statements of operations include amortization expense as follows:



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2016		2015
Amortization of deferred leasing costs, lease intangibles and other	$	19,177	$	17,538
Amortization of above market lease intangibles	4,803		4,523

Amortization of deferred leasing costs, leasing intangibles and other is included in depreciation and amortization expense. The amortization of above market lease intangibles is included as a reduction to revenue.

Note 8. Deferred Revenue and Other Liabilities

Deferred revenue and other liabilities consist of unamortized fair value of in-place lease liabilities recorded in connection with purchase accounting, potential earnout payments related to property acquisitions, retainage payables for development and redevelopment projects, and tenant rent payments received in advance. The amortization of in-place lease liabilities is recognized as revenue over the remaining life of the leases (including option periods for leases with below market renewal options) through 2046. Tenant rent payments received in advance are recognized as revenue in the period to which they apply, which is typically the month following their receipt.

At September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, deferred revenue and other liabilities consisted of the following:



	September 30, 2016		December 31, 2015
Unamortized in-place lease liabilities	$	100,972	$	112,405
Retainage payables and other	6,589		5,636
Assumed earnout liability (Note 9)	1,285		1,380
Tenant rent payments received in advance	11,704		12,138
Total	$	120,550	$	131,559

The amortization of below market lease intangibles was $10.6 million and $6.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The amortization of below market lease intangibles is included as an increase to revenue.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Other Commitments and Contingencies

We are not subject to any material litigation nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against us. We are parties to routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that such routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial statements.

We are obligated under various completion guarantees with certain lenders and lease agreements with tenants to complete all or portions of the development and redevelopment projects. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2016, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $12.2 million. At that date, there were no amounts advanced against these instruments.

Earnout Liability

We are a party to an earnout arrangement with the former seller of one of our operating properties, whereby we were required to pay the seller additional consideration based on whether the seller satisfied certain post-sale obligations. The estimated potential earnout liability was $1.3 million at September 30, 2016 and $1.4 million at December 31, 2015.

On October 6, 2016, we paid $1.3 million related to the remaining earnout liability. We do not have any further earnout obligations after this date.

Note 10. Disposals of Operating Properties

During the three months ended June 30, 2016, we sold our Shops at Otty operating property in Portland, Oregon for a net gain of $0.2 million. In the fourth quarter of 2015, we wrote off the book value of this property and recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $1.6 million, as the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the remaining holding period did not exceed the carrying value of the asset.

During the fourth quarter of 2015, we sold our Four Corner operating property in Seattle, Washington, and our Cornelius Gateway operating property in Portland, Oregon, for aggregate proceeds of $44.9 million and a net gain of $0.6 million.

In March 2015, we sold seven properties for aggregate net proceeds of $103.0 million and a net gain of $3.4 million.

The results of these operating properties are not included in discontinued operations in the accompanying statements of operations as none of the operating properties individually, nor in the aggregate, represent a strategic shift that has had or will have a material effect on our operations or financial results.

Note 11. Acquisitions and Transaction Costs

During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred $2.8 million of terminated transaction costs. We record transaction costs as they are incurred, regardless of whether the transaction is ultimately completed or terminated. Transaction costs generally consist of legal, lender, due diligence, and other expenses for professional services.

In 2015, we acquired four operating properties for total consideration of $185.8 million, including the assumption of an $18.3 million loan, which are summarized below:



Property Name	MSA	Acquisition Date	Owned GLA
Colleyville Downs	Dallas, TX	April 2015	191,126
Belle Isle Station	Oklahoma City, OK	May 2015	164,362
Livingston Shopping Center	New York - Newark	July 2015	139,605
Chapel Hill Shopping Center	Fort Worth / Dallas, TX	August 2015	126,755

Note 12. Gain on Settlement

In June 2015, we received $4.75 million to settle a dispute related to eminent domain and related damages at one of our operating properties. The settlement agreement did not restrict our use of the proceeds. These proceeds, net of certain costs, are included in gain on settlement within the statement of operations. We used the net proceeds to pay down the secured loan at this operating property.

Note 13. Subsequent Events

Retirement of Secured Debt

On November 1, 2016, we retired the $25 million loan secured by our Colonial Square and Village Walk operating properties using a draw on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

On November 1, 2016, we retired the $10.4 million loan secured by our Geist Pavilion operating property, which included a release of a $1.6 million letter of credit, using a draw on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in connection with the accompanying historical financial statements and related notes thereto. In this discussion, unless the context suggests otherwise, references to “our Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” mean Kite Realty Group Trust and its direct and indirect subsidiaries, including Kite Realty Group, L.P.

Our Business and Properties

Kite Realty Group Trust is a publicly-held real estate investment trust which, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition, development, and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in selected markets in the United States. We derive revenues primarily from activities associated with the collection of contractual rents and reimbursement payments from tenants at our properties. Our operating results therefore depend materially on the ability of our tenants to make required lease payments, the health and resilience of the United States retail sector, interest rate volatility, job growth and overall economic and real estate market conditions.

At September 30, 2015, we owned interests in 121 operating and redevelopment properties consisting of 113 retail properties, six retail redevelopment properties, one office operating property and an associated parking garage. We also owned three development properties under construction as of this date.

Current Quarter Actions

Development and Redevelopment Activities

We believe evaluating our operating properties for development and redevelopment opportunities enhances shareholder value as it will make them more attractive for leasing to new tenants and it improves long-term values and economic returns. We initiated and advanced a number of development and redevelopment activities during the quarter, including the following:

Holly Springs Towne Center – Phase II near Raleigh, North Carolina – This property was substantially completed in June 2016 and transitioned to the operating portfolio. The remaining anchor, Carmike Theatres, opened in October 2016 to join anchors DSW and Bed Bath & Beyond, which opened in March 2016 and December 2015, respectively.

Under Construction Redevelopment, Reposition, and Repurpose Projects. Our Redevelopment, Reposition and Repurpose (“3-R”) initiative, which includes a total of 24 existing and potential projects, continued to progress during the third quarter of 2016. We commenced construction on four additional 3-R projects, for a total of twelve projects under construction. These twelve projects have an estimated incremental return averaging approximately 9% to 10%, with aggregate costs for all of these projects expected to range between $58.1 million and $67.0 million.

Operational Activities

During the third quarter of 2016, we executed new and renewal leases on 110 individual spaces totaling 627,925 square feet. New leases were signed on 49 individual spaces for 208,320 square feet of GLA, while renewal leases were signed on 61 individual spaces for 419,605 square feet of GLA.

For comparable signed leases, which are defined as leases signed for which there was a former tenant within the last 12 months, we achieved a blended rent spread of 9.7% while incurring $18.05 per square foot of incremental capital improvement costs. The average rent for the 23 new comparable leases signed on individual spaces in the third quarter of 2016 was $23.95 per square foot compared to average expiring rent of $21.17 per square foot in that quarter. The average rent for the 61 renewals signed on individual spaces in the third quarter of 2016 was $17.08 per square foot compared to average expiring rent of $15.72 per square foot in that quarter.

Results of Operations

The comparability of results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 is affected by our development, redevelopment and operating property acquisition and disposition activities during these periods. Therefore, we believe it is useful to review the comparisons of our results of operations for these periods in conjunction with the discussion of our activities during those periods, which is set forth below.

Rental income (including tenant reimbursements) increased $4.0 million, or 4.8%, due to the following:



($ in thousands)	Net change 2015 to 2016
Properties acquired during 2015	$	855
Development properties that became operational or were partially operational in 2015 and/or 2016	1,170

Properties under redevelopment during 2015 and/or 2016	1,458
Properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 and other	1,280
Total	$	3,983

The net increase of $0.9 million in rental income at properties acquired during 2015 is attributable to the acquisitions of Livingston Shopping Center and Chapel Hill Shopping Center in the third quarter of 2015. The net decrease of $0.8 million in rental income at properties sold during 2015 and 2016 is due to the sale of two operating properties in December 2015 and one operating property in June 2016. The net increase of $1.3 million in rental income for properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 is primarily attributable to an increase in rental rates.

The average rent for new comparable leases signed in the third quarter of 2016 was $23.95 per square foot compared to average expiring rent of $21.17 per square foot in that quarter. The average rent for renewals signed in the third quarter of 2016 was $17.08 per square foot compared to average expiring rent of $15.72 per square foot in that quarter. For our total retail operating portfolio, annualized base rent per square foot improved to $15.42 per square foot as of September 30, 2016, up from $15.24 as of September 30, 2015.

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, overage rent, lease termination income and gains on sales of undepreciated assets. This revenue decreased by $2.0 million, primarily as a result of lower gains on sales of undepreciated assets of $2.9 million, partially offset by an increase of $0.7 million in lease termination income.

Property operating expenses decreased $0.1 million, or 0.7%, due to the following:



($ in thousands)	Net change 2015 to 2016
Properties acquired during 2015	$	303
Development properties that became operational or were partially operational in 2015 and/or 2016	335

Properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 and other	(369		)
Total	$	(78	)

The net increase of $0.3 million in property operating expenses at properties acquired during 2015 is attributable to the acquisitions of Livingston Shopping Center and Chapel Hill Shopping Center in the third quarter of 2015. The net decrease of $0.2 million in property operating expenses at properties sold during 2015 and 2016 is due to the sale of two operating properties in December 2015 and one operating property in June 2016. The net $0.4 million decrease for properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 is primarily due to a combination of a decrease of $0.8 million in bad debt expense and $0.2 million in insurance costs as we generated efficiencies with our larger operating platform. These decreases were offset by an increase of $0.4 million in general building repair and landscaping costs at certain properties and $0.2 million in legal expenses.

Property operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the three months ended September 30, 2016 was 13.4% compared to 13.8%, or a change of approximately $0.1 million, over the same period in the prior year. The decrease was mostly due to an improvement in expense control and an improvement in operating expense recoveries from tenants.

Real estate taxes increased $0.6 million, or 6.4%, due to the following:



($ in thousands)	Net change 2015 to 2016
Properties acquired during 2015	$	308
Development properties that became operational or were partially operational in 2015 and/or 2016	112

Properties under redevelopment during 2015 and/or 2016	28
Properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 and other	284
Total	$	645

The $0.3 million increase in real estate taxes at properties acquired during 2015 is attributable to the acquisitions of Livingston Shopping Center and Chapel Hill Shopping Center in the third quarter of 2015. The net $0.3 million increase in real estate taxes

for properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 is due to higher tax assessments at certain operating properties. The majority of changes in our real estate tax expense is recoverable from tenants and, therefore, reflected in tenant reimbursement revenue.

General, administrative and other expenses increased $0.5 million, or 11.4%. The increase is due primarily to higher payroll costs and company overhead expenses of $0.4 million.

Transaction costs generally consist of legal, lender, due diligence, and other expenses for professional services. Such costs decreased $1.1 million as we had no transaction activity during the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $3.0 million, or 7.0%, due to the following:



($ in thousands)	Net change 2015 to 2016
Properties acquired during 2015	$	415
Development properties that became operational or were partially operational in 2015 and/or 2016	2,375
Properties sold during 2015 and 2016	(409		)
Properties under redevelopment during 2015 and/or 2016	1,747
Properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 and other	(1,134		)
Total	$	2,994

The net increase of $0.4 million in depreciation and amortization expense at properties acquired during 2015 is attributable to the acquisitions of Livingston Shopping Center and Chapel Hill Shopping Center in the third quarter of 2015. The net decrease of $0.4 million in depreciation and amortization expense at properties sold during 2015 and 2016 is due to the sale of two operating properties in December 2015 and one operating property in June 2016. The net increase of $1.7 million in properties under redevelopment during 2015 and 2016 is primarily due to an increase of $1.7 million in accelerated depreciation and amortization from the demolition of a portion of a building at one of our redevelopment properties. The net decrease of $1.1 million in depreciation at properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 is primarily due to a decrease in accelerated depreciation and amortization related to multiple tenants vacating at several operating properties in 2016 compared to the same period in 2015 and a decrease in depreciation related to tenant-specific assets becoming fully depreciated in 2016.

Interest expense increased $3.3 million or 23.5%. The increase is partially due to recording $1.0 million in accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs from amending the unsecured term loans and retiring Term Loan A. In addition, we secured longer-term fixed rate debt in the second half of 2015 and in the third quarter of 2016 that carried higher interest rates than the variable rate on our unsecured revolving credit facility, which was paid down with the proceeds. We also redeemed all of our outstanding preferred stock in the fourth quarter of 2015 using the proceeds from the fixed rate debt. The increase was also due to certain development projects, including Parkside Town Commons - Phase I and Holly Springs Towne Center - Phase II becoming operational. As a portion of the project becomes operational, we cease capitalization of the related interest expense.

Properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 and other	2,953
Total	$	9,580

The net increase of $7.4 million in rental income at properties acquired during 2015 is attributable to the acquisitions of Colleyville Downs, Belle Isle Station, Livingston Shopping Center, and Chapel Hill Shopping Center in the second and third quarters of 2015. The net decrease of $5.2 million in rental income at properties sold during 2015 and 2016 is due to the sale of seven operating properties in March 2015, two operating properties in December 2015, and one operating property in June 2016.

The net increase of $3.0 million in rental income for properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 is primarily attributable to an increase in rental rates, and an increase in expense recoveries through year end reconciliations of common area maintenance, insurance and real estate tax expense.

The average rent for new comparable leases signed in the first nine months of 2016 was $22.17 per square foot compared to average expiring rent of $19.38 per square foot in that period. The average rent for renewals signed in the first nine months of 2016 was $16.24 per square foot compared to average expiring rent of $15.08 per square foot in that period. For our full operating portfolio, annualized base rent per square foot improved to $15.42 per square foot as of September 30, 2016, up from $15.24 as of September 30, 2015.

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, overage rent, lease termination income and gains on sales of undepreciated assets. This revenue decreased by $2.0 million, primarily as a result lower gains on sales of undepreciated assets of $0.9 million and decreases of $0.7 million in lease termination income and fluctuations in other miscellaneous activities.

Property operating expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 2.9%, due to the following:



($ in thousands)	Net change 2015 to 2016

The net increase of $1.7 million in property operating expenses at properties acquired during 2015 is attributable to the acquisitions of Colleyville Downs, Belle Isle Station, Livingston Shopping Center, and Chapel Hill Shopping Center in the second and third quarter of 2015. The net decrease of $1.0 million in property operating expenses at properties sold during 2015 and 2016 is due to the sale of seven operating properties in March 2015, two operating properties in December 2015, and one operating property in June 2016. The net $2.0 million decrease for properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 is primarily due to a combination of a decrease of $1.0 million in bad debt expense, $0.5 million in insurance costs as we generated efficiencies with our larger operating platform, $0.4 million in general building repair costs at certain properties, $0.4 million in utility expense, and $0.2 million in landscaping expense. The decreases were offset by an increase of $0.2 million in security expense, $0.2 million in advertising expense and $0.1 million in association fees.

Property operating expenses as a percentage of total revenue for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was 13.4% compared to 14.2%, or a change of approximately $0.3 million, over the same period in the prior year. The decrease was mostly due to an improvement in expense control and an improvement in operating expense recoveries from tenants as a result of higher occupancy rates.

Real estate taxes increased $2.5 million, or 8.4%, due to the following:



($ in thousands)	Net change 2015 to 2016

The $1.6 million increase in real estate taxes at properties acquired during 2015 is attributable to the acquisitions of Colleyville Downs, Belle Isle Station, Livingston Shopping Center, and Chapel Hill Shopping Center in the second and third quarter of 2015. The net decrease of $0.5 million in real estate taxes at properties sold during 2015 and 2016 is due to the sale of seven operating properties in March 2015, two operating properties in December 2015, and one operating property in June 2016. The net $1.2 million increase in real estate taxes for properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 is due to higher tax assessments at certain operating properties. The majority of changes in our real estate tax expense is recoverable from tenants and, therefore, reflected in tenant reimbursement revenue.

General, administrative and other expenses increased $1.1 million, or 7.8%. The increase is due primarily to a severance charge of $0.5 million in the first quarter of 2016 and higher payroll costs and company overhead expenses of $0.6 million.

Transaction costs generally consist of legal, lender, due diligence, and other expenses for professional services. Such costs increased $1.2 million as we had terminated transaction costs of $2.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to property acquisition costs of $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.4 million, or 6.0%, due to the following:



($ in thousands)	Net change 2015 to 2016
Properties acquired during 2015	$	3,923
Development properties that became operational or were partially operational in 2015 and/or 2016	3,286

The net increase of $3.9 million in depreciation and amortization expense at properties acquired during 2015 is attributable to the acquisitions of Colleyville Downs, Belle Isle Station, Livingston Shopping Center, and Chapel Hill Shopping Center in the second and third quarter of 2015. The net decrease of $1.2 million in depreciation and amortization expense at properties sold during 2015 and 2016 is due to the sale of seven operating properties in March 2015, two operating properties in December 2015, and one operating property in June 2016. The net increase of $2.1 million in properties under redevelopment during 2015 and 2016 is primarily due to an increase of $1.7 million in accelerated depreciation and amortization from the demolition of a portion of a building at one of our redevelopment properties. The net decrease of $0.6 million in depreciation at properties fully operational during 2015 and 2016 is due to a decrease in accelerated depreciation and amortization on tenant-specific assets from multiple tenants vacating at several operating properties in the first nine months of 2016, compared to the accelerated depreciation and amortization on tenant-specific assets recorded in the same period in 2015.

Interest expense increased $7.0 million or 17.0%. The increase is due to recording $1.0 million in accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs from amending the unsecured term loans, retiring Term Loan A and securing longer-term fixed rate debt in the second half of 2015 and in the third quarter of 2016 that carried higher interest rates than the variable rate on our unsecured revolving credit facility, which was paid down with the proceeds. We also redeemed all of our outstanding preferred stock in the fourth quarter of 2015 using the proceeds from the fixed rate debt. The increase is also due to certain development projects, including Parkside Town Commons - Phase I and Holly Springs Towne Center - Phase II becoming operational. As a portion of the project becomes operational, we cease capitalization of the related interest expense.

We recorded a gain on settlement of $4.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015. See additional discussion in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements.

Same Property Net Operating Income

The Company believes that Net Operating Income ("NOI") is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of its operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any. The Company believes that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of its operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full period presented, which eliminates disparities in net income due to the redevelopment, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of the Company's properties. NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of the Company's financial performance. The Company’s computation of Same Property NOI may differ from the methodology used by other REITs, and therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

When evaluating the properties that are included in the same property pool, we have established specific criteria for determining the inclusion of properties acquired or those recently under development. An acquired property is included in the same property pool twelve months after the acquisition date. A development property is included in the same property pool twelve months after construction is substantially complete, which is typically between six and twelve months after the first date a tenant is open for business. A redevelopment property is included in the same property pool twelve months after the construction of the redevelopment property is substantially complete. A redevelopment property is first excluded from the same property pool when the execution of a redevelopment plan is likely and we begin recapturing space from tenants. For the three months ended September 30, 2016, we excluded nine current redevelopment properties from the same property pool that met these criteria and were owned in all periods compared.

The following table reflects same property net operating income (and reconciliation to net income attributable to common shareholders) for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015:

Our same property net operating income increased 2.1% and 2.7% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 compared to the same period of the prior year. These increases were primarily due to increases in rental rates and improved expense control and operating expense recovery resulting in an improvement in net recoveries of $0.2 million and $1.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016. Excluding the properties in the 3-R initiative, same property net operating income increased 2.9% in the three months ended September 30, 2016.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary finance and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities in a cost-effective manner. We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings or equity offerings, including the estimated value of properties to be developed or acquired, the estimated market value of our properties and the Company as a whole upon placement of the borrowing or offering, and the ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to cover debt service. We will continue to monitor the

capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, unsecured debt securities, preferred shares, or other securities.

Our Principal Capital Resources

For a discussion of cash generated from operations, see “Cash Flows,” beginning on page 43. In addition to cash generated from operations, we discuss below our other principal capital resources.

The increased asset base and operating cash flows of the Company have substantially enhanced our liquidity position and reduced our borrowing costs. We continue to focus on a balanced approach to growth and staggering debt maturities in order to retain our financial flexibility.

On September 26, 2016, the Operating Partnership completed a $300 million public offering of 4.00% Senior Notes due October 1, 2026. The net proceeds from the issuance of the Notes were utilized to retire the $200 million Term Loan A and retire the $75.9 million construction loan secured by our Parkside Town Commons operating property and pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility.

As of September 30, 2016, we had approximately $401 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facility for future borrowings based on the unencumbered property pool allocated to the unsecured revolving credit facility. We also had $28.8 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2016.

We were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under our unsecured revolving credit facility, our unsecured term loans and our senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2016.

We have on file with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an indeterminate amount of equity and debt securities. Equity securities may be offered and sold by the Parent Company, and the net proceeds of any such offerings would be contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional General Partner Units. Debt securities may be offered and sold by the Operating Partnership with the Operating Partnership receiving the proceeds. From time to time, we may issue securities under this shelf registration statement to fund the repayment of long-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes.

We currently have an at the market equity program that allows the Parent Company to issue new common shares from time to time, with an aggregate offering price of up to $250.0 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we issued 137,229 common shares at an average price per share of $29.52 pursuant to our at-the-market offering program, generating gross proceeds of approximately $4.1 million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of approximately $3.8 million. We have $245.9 million remaining available for future common share issuances under our current at-the-market equity program.

In the future, we will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities. We may also raise capital by disposing of properties, land parcels or other assets that are no longer core components of our growth strategy. The sale price may differ from our carrying value at the time of sale.

We derive the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. While we believe that the nature of the properties in which we typically invest—primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers—provides a relatively stable revenue flow in uncertain economic times, the recent economic downturn adversely affected the ability of some of our tenants to meet their lease obligations.

Our Principal Liquidity Needs

Short-Term Liquidity Needs

Near-Term Debt Maturities. As of September 30, 2016, we had $17.1 million of secured debt scheduled to mature prior to September 30, 2017, excluding scheduled monthly principal payments. On November 1, 2016, we retired the $10.4 million loan secured by our Geist Pavilion operating property, which included a release of a $1.6 million letter of credit that was scheduled to mature on January 1, 2017. On November 1, 2016, we retired the $25 million loan secured by our Colonial Square and Village Walk operating properties that was scheduled to mature on January 1, 2018.

Other Short-Term Liquidity Needs. The requirements for qualifying as a REIT and for a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends paid to shareholders necessitate that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income on an annual basis. Such requirements cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on our debt, expected dividend payments to our common shareholders and to Common Unit holders, and recurring capital expenditures.

In September 2016, our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.2875 per common share and Common Unit for the third quarter of 2016. This distribution was paid on October 13, 2016 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of October 6, 2016. Future distributions are at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.

Other short-term liquidity needs include expenditures for tenant improvements, external leasing commissions and recurring capital expenditures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we incurred $1.0 million of costs for recurring capital expenditures on operating properties and also incurred $7.6 million of costs for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions (excluding first generation space and development and redevelopment properties). We currently anticipate incurring approximately $9 million to $11 million of additional major tenant improvements and renovation costs within the next twelve months at a number of our operating properties, excluding those properties in our "3-R" initiative.

We currently have 12 properties that are considered under construction as part of our "3-R" initiative. Total estimated costs of these properties are expected to be in the range of $58.1 million and $67.0 million.

As of September 30, 2016, we had one development project under construction. The total estimated cost of this project is approximately $83.5 million, of which $80.2 million had been incurred as of September 30, 2016. We currently anticipate incurring the majority of the remaining $3.3 million of costs over the next nine months. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund the project and expect to do so primarily through borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Long-Term Liquidity Needs

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for the development of new properties, redevelopment of existing properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, acquisitions of properties, and payment of indebtedness at maturity.

Potential Redevelopment, Reposition, Repurpose Opportunities. We are currently evaluating additional redevelopment, repositioning, and repurposing of several other operating properties as part of our "3-R" initiative. Total estimated costs of these properties are expected to be in the range of $85 million and $105 million. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund our investment in any existing or future projects through cash from operations and borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Selective Acquisitions, Developments and Joint Ventures. We may selectively pursue the acquisition and development of other properties, which would require additional capital. It is unlikely that we would have sufficient funds on hand to meet these long-term capital requirements. We would have to satisfy these needs through additional borrowings, sales of common or preferred shares, issuance of Operating Partnership units, cash generated through property dispositions or future property acquisitions and/or participation in joint venture arrangements. We cannot be certain that we would have access to these sources of capital on satisfactory terms, if at all, to fund our long-term liquidity requirements. We evaluate all future opportunities against pre-established criteria including, but not limited to, location, demographics, expected return, tenant credit quality, tenant relationships, and amount of existing retail space. Our ability to access the capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors, including general capital market conditions.

Capitalized Expenditures on Consolidated Properties

The following table summarizes cash capital expenditures for our development and redevelopment properties and other capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 and on a cumulative basis since the project’s inception:



	Year to Date –		Cumulative –
($ in thousands)	September 30, 2016		September 30, 2016
Developments	$	3,767	$	80,213
Redevelopments	23,027		N/A
Recently completed developments/redevelopments¹	29,063		N/A
Miscellaneous other activity, net	3,889		N/A
Recurring operating capital expenditures (primarily tenant improvement payments)	8,606		N/A
Total	$	68,352	$	80,213



____________________
1	This classification includes Tamiami Crossing, Holly Springs Towne Center – Phase I and Phase II, Parkside Town Commons – Phase I, Bolton Plaza, Gainesville Plaza, and Cool Springs.

We capitalize certain indirect costs such as interest, payroll, and other general and administrative costs related to these development activities. If we were to experience a 10% reduction in development and redevelopment activities, without a corresponding decrease in indirect project costs, we would have recorded additional expense of $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016, respectively.

____________________
1	This presentation reflects the Company's exercise of its option to extend the maturity date by one year to July 28, 2021 for the Company's unsecured credit facility.

Failure to comply with our obligations under our indebtedness agreements (including our payment obligations) could cause an event of default under such debt, which, among other things, could result in the loss of title to assets securing such debt, the acceleration of principal and interest payments or the termination of the debt facilities, or exposure to the risk of foreclosure. In addition, certain of our variable rate loans contain cross-default provisions which provide that a violation by us of any financial covenant set forth in our unsecured revolving credit facility agreement will constitute an event of default under the loans, which could allow the lenders to accelerate the amounts due under our indebtedness agreements if we fail to satisfy these financial covenants. See “Item 1.A Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Operations” in Kite Realty Group Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015 for more information related to the risks associated with our indebtedness.

Impact of Changes in Credit Ratings on Our Liquidity

In 2014, we were assigned investment grade corporate credit ratings from two nationally recognized credit rating agencies. These ratings remain unchanged as of September 30, 2016.

The ratings could change based upon, among other things, the impact that prevailing economic conditions may have on our results of operations and financial condition. A reduction in our credit rating by one or both rating agencies could also adversely affect our access to funding sources, the cost and other terms of future financing, as well as our overall financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

Cash Flows

As of September 30, 2016, we had cash and cash equivalents on hand of $28.8 million. We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regard to our cash and cash equivalents. We place our cash and short-term cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions. While we attempt to limit our exposure at any point in time, occasionally, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits. We also maintain certain compensating balances in several financial institutions in support of borrowings from those institutions. Such compensating balances were not material to the consolidated balance sheets.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2016 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2015

Cash provided by operating activities was $120.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, a decrease of $15.2 million from the same period of 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the timing of real estate tax payments and annual insurance payments and an increase in leasing costs.

Cash used in investing activities was $67.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, as compared to cash used in investing activities of $110.2 million in the same period of 2015. Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in investing activities are as follows:


•	Net proceeds of $0.1 million related to the sale of Shops at Otty in June 2016, compared to net proceeds of $126.5 million related to the sale of seven operating properties in March 2015;


•	There were no property acquisitions in the first nine months of 2016, while there was a net cash outflow of $167.8 million related to acquisitions over the same period in 2015;


•	Decrease in capital expenditures of $1.4 million, partially offset by an increase in construction payables of $0.6 million. In the first nine months of 2016, we substantially completed construction at our Tamiami Crossing and Holly Springs Towne Center - Phase II development properties, and incurred additional construction costs at several of our redevelopment properties.

Cash used in financing activities was $58.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, compared to cash used in financing activities of $26.7 million in the same period of 2015. Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in financing activities in the first nine months of 2016 are as follows:

•

We retired the $16.3 million loan secured by our Cool Creek Commons operating property, the $23.6 million loan secured by our Sunland Towne Centre operating property, the $20.3 million loan secured by our Mullins Crossing operating property, the $16.5 million loan secured by our Pine Ridge Crossing operating property, the $9.9 million loan secured by our Riverchase Plaza operating property and the $42.2 million loan secured by our Traders Point operating property using draws on the unsecured revolving credit facility;


•	We issued $300 million of senior unsecured notes in a public offering. The net proceeds of which were utilized to retire the $200 million Term Loan A and the $75.9 million construction loan secured by our Parkside Town Commons operating property and to pay down our unsecured revolving credit facility;


•	We drew the remaining $100 million on our $200 million seven-year unsecured term loan and used the proceeds to pay down the unsecured revolving credit facility; and


•	We made distributions to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of $73.6 million.

Funds From Operations

Funds from Operations (FFO) is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We calculate FFO in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which we refer to as the White Paper. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (determined in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales and impairments of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided FFO adjusted for a severance charge, accelerated amortization of debt issuance costs and transaction costs

in 2016 and a gain on settlement and transaction costs in 2015. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe our presentation of FFO, as adjusted, provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and among our peer companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

Our calculations of FFO¹ (and reconciliation to consolidated net income, as applicable) and FFO, as adjusted, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2016 and 2015 (unaudited) are as follows:

____________________
1	“Funds From Operations of the Kite Portfolio" measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership’s real estate properties and construction and service subsidiaries in which the Company owns an interest. “Funds From Operations attributable to Kite Realty Group Trust common shareholders” reflects a reduction for the redeemable noncontrolling weighted average diluted interest in the Operating Partnership.
2	Primarily related to the debt extinguished with the proceeds from our inaugural public debt offering.

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization

We define EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense of taxable REIT subsidiary. For informational purposes, we have also provided Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA less (i) EBITDA from unconsolidated entities and (ii) noncontrolling interest EBITDA. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent quarter multiplied by four. Net Debt to EBITDA is our share of net debt divided by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to EBITDA, as calculated by us, are not comparable to EBITDA and EBITDA related measures reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA

exactly as we do. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of liquidity.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of Net Debt to EBITDA are helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because they exclude various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted as described above. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe presenting EBITDA and the related measures in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of our operating results.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) and a calculation of Net Debt to EBITDA.

2	Partner share of consolidated joint venture debt is calculated based upon the partner's pro-rata ownership of the joint venture, multiplied by the related secured debt balance. In all cases, this debt is the responsibility of the consolidated joint venture.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that in our opinion have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources. We do, however, have certain obligations related to some of the projects in our operating and development properties.

Contractual Obligations

Except with respect to our debt maturities as discussed on page 42, there have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.



Item 3.	Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Related to Fixed and Variable Rate Debt

We had $1.7 billion of outstanding consolidated indebtedness as of September 30, 2016 (exclusive of net premiums and issuance costs, net of $10 thousand on acquired indebtedness). As of this date, we were party to various consolidated interest rate hedge agreements totaling $474.7 million, with maturity dates ranging from 2017 through 2021. Reflecting these hedge agreements, our fixed and variable rate debt was $1.6 billion (95%) and $0.1 billion (5%), respectively, of our total consolidated indebtedness at September 30, 2016.

As of September 30, 2016, we had $17.1 million of fixed rate debt maturing within the next twelve months. A 100 basis point change in market interest rates would not materially impact the annual cash flows associated with this hedged debt. A 100 basis point change in interest rates on our unhedged variable rate debt as of September 30, 2016 would change our annual cash flow by $0.8 million.
