Phillips Edison & Company, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
(Condensed and Unaudited)
As of and for the period ended June 30, 2021

1. ORGANIZATION
Phillips Edison & Company, Inc. (“we,” the “Company,” “PECO,” “our,” or “us”) was formed as a Maryland corporation in October 2009. Substantially all of our business is conducted through Phillips Edison Grocery Center Operating Partnership I, L.P., (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed in December 2009. We are a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Phillips Edison Grocery Center OP GP I LLC, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.
We are a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that invests primarily in omni-channel grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers that have a mix of creditworthy national, regional, and local retailers that sell necessity-based goods and services in strong demographic markets throughout the United States. In addition to managing our own shopping centers, our third-party investment management business provides comprehensive real estate and asset management services to two unconsolidated institutional joint ventures, in which we have a partial ownership interest, and one private fund (collectively, the “Managed Funds”) as of June 30, 2021.
As of June 30, 2021, we wholly-owned 272 real estate properties. Additionally, we owned a 14% interest in Grocery Retail Partners I LLC (“GRP I”), a joint venture that owned 20 properties, and a 20% equity interest in Necessity Retail Partners (“NRP”), a joint venture that owned two properties.
On June 18, 2021, our stockholders approved an amendment to our charter (the “Articles of Amendment”) that effected a change of each share of our common stock outstanding at the time the amendment became effective into one share of a newly created class of Class B common stock (the “Recapitalization”). The Articles of Amendment became effective upon filing with, and acceptance by, the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland on July 2, 2021. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this Form 10-Q disclosure gives effect to the Recapitalization and references to “shares” and per share metrics refer to our common stock and Class B common stock, collectively.
On July 2, 2021, our board of directors (the “Board”) approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation to effect a one-for-three reverse stock split. Concurrent with the reverse split, the Operating Partnership enacted a one-for-three reverse split of its outstanding Operating Partnership units (“OP units”). Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this Form 10-Q gives effect to the reverse stock and OP unit splits (Note 9).
On July 19, 2021, we closed our underwritten initial public offering (“underwritten IPO”), through which we offered 17.0 million shares of a new class of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an initial price of $28.00 per share, pursuant to a registration statement filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on Form S-11 (File No. 333-255846), as amended. These shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol “PECO”. The underwriters have since exercised a 30-day option to purchase additional shares of common stock to cover overallotments, and, accordingly, on August 2, 2021 we settled the sale of an additional 2.55 million shares, with gross proceeds to us of $71.4 million.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Set forth below is a summary of the significant accounting estimates and policies that management believes are important to the preparation of our condensed consolidated interim financial statements. Certain of our accounting estimates are particularly important for an understanding of our financial position and results of operations and require the application of significant judgment by management. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to the useful lives of assets, remaining hold period of assets, recoverable amounts of receivables, and other fair value measurement assessments required for the preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements. As a result, these estimates are subject to a degree of uncertainty.
Beginning in 2020, the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic has caused significant disruption to our operations. All temporarily closed tenants have since been permitted to reopen; however, certain of our tenants have permanently closed. We have backfilled a number of these spaces, and continue to work on backfilling any remaining vacancies. The continuing economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic could result in increased permanent store closures, reduce the demand for leasing space in our shopping centers, and/or result in a decline in occupancy and rental revenues in our real estate portfolio. Because of the adverse economic conditions that have occurred as a result of the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic and any remaining uncertainty related to the pandemic, it is possible that the estimates and assumptions that have been utilized in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements could change significantly. All of this activity impacts our estimates around the collectibility of revenue and valuation of real estate assets, goodwill and other intangible assets, and certain liabilities, among others.

Table of Contents
There were no changes to our significant accounting policies during the six months ended June 30, 2021, except for those discussed below. For a full summary of our accounting policies, refer to our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K as originally filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021.
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation—The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should refer to our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020, which are included in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements for the periods presented have been included in this Quarterly Report. Our results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the operating results expected for the full year.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and those of our majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
Underwritten IPO Costs—Deferred underwritten IPO costs are currently recorded as Other Assets, Net on our consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2021, and will be offset against underwritten IPO proceeds and reclassified as a component of APIC on the consolidated balance sheets upon the consummation of the offering. Costs incurred that were related to our underwritten IPO activities but were not directly related to our equity raise were not capitalized and are included as transaction costs, currently in Other (Expense) Income, Net on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) (“consolidated statements of operations”).
Income Taxes—Our consolidated financial statements include the operations of wholly-owned subsidiaries that have jointly elected to be treated as Taxable REIT Subsidiaries and are subject to U.S. federal, state, and local income taxes at regular corporate tax rates. We recognized an insignificant amount of federal, state, and local income tax expense for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, and we retain a full valuation allowance for our deferred tax asset. All income tax amounts are included in Other (Expense) Income, Net on our consolidated statements of operations.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements—On January 7, 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2021-01 to amend the scope of the guidance in ASU 2020-04 on facilitation of the effects of reference rate reform on financial reporting. Specifically, the amendments in ASU 2021-01 clarify that certain optional expedients and exceptions in Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 848, Reference Rate Reform for contract modifications and hedge accounting apply to derivatives that are affected by the discounting transition. We adopted ASU 2021-01 upon its issuance and the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Reclassifications—The following line items on our consolidated statement of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2020 were reclassified to conform to current year presentation:
Return on Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures was listed on a separate line from Other Assets, Net; and
Net Change in Credit Facility was separated into two lines, Proceeds from Revolving Credit Facility and Payments on Revolving Credit Facility.

3. LEASES
Lessor—The majority of our leases are largely similar in that the leased asset is retail space within our properties, and the lease agreements generally contain similar provisions and features, without substantial variations. All of our leases are currently classified as operating leases. Lease income related to our operating leases was as follows for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (in thousands):

(1)Includes rental income related to lease payments before assessing for collectibility.
(2)Variable payments are primarily related to tenant recovery income.
(3)Includes favorable revenue adjustments to straight-line rent for tenants previously considered non-creditworthy during the three months ended June 30, 2021 of $0.4 million, and unfavorable adjustments for non-creditworthy tenants during the six months ended June 30, 2021 of $0.4 million. Includes unfavorable adjustments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 of $3.2 million, and $3.1 million, respectively.
(4)Includes general reserves as well as adjustments for tenants not considered creditworthy and thus for which we are recording revenue on a cash basis, per ASC Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”).
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we had net favorable changes to general reserves of $1.9 million and $4.1 million, respectively. Additionally, we had $1.0 million in net collections on receivables that were previously deemed unlikely to be collected for tenants not considered creditworthy for the three months ended June 30, 2021, and $3.0 million in net unfavorable revenue adjustments for non-creditworthy tenants for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, we had net general reserve increases of $1.3 million and $0.9 million, respectively. Additionally, we had net unfavorable adjustments of $8.8 million and $11.7 million, respectively, related to monthly revenue for tenants that we deemed non-creditworthy and for which we were recording revenue on a cash basis.
Approximate future fixed contractual lease payments to be received under non-cancelable operating leases in effect as of June 30, 2021, assuming no new or renegotiated leases or option extensions on lease agreements, and including the impact of rent abatements, payment plans, and tenants who have been moved to the cash basis of accounting for revenue recognition purposes are as follows (in thousands):

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we executed payment plans with our tenants. As of June 30, 2021, we had $5.4 million of outstanding payment plans with our tenants, which represented approximately 2.1% of rental income during the six months ended June 30, 2021. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we had recorded an immaterial amount of rent abatements related to 2021 missed charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded approximately $0.5 million of rent abatements related to missed 2021 charges, which represented less than 1% of rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
No single tenant comprised 7% or more of our aggregate annualized base rent (“ABR”) as of June 30, 2021. As of June 30, 2021, our wholly-owned real estate investments in Florida and California represented 12.6% and 10.1% of our ABR, respectively. As a result, the geographic concentration of our portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse weather or economic events, including the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, in the Florida and California real estate markets.

(1)We retained an outparcel for one property sold during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and therefore the sale did not result in a reduction in our total property count.
(2)One outparcel sold during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was the only remaining portion of one of our properties, and therefore the sale resulted in a reduction in our total property count.
(3)In addition to the one outparcel sold during the six months ended June 30, 2021, a tenant at one of our properties exercised a bargain purchase option to acquire a parcel of land that we previously owned. This generated minimal proceeds for us.
(4)The gain (loss) on sale of properties, net does not include miscellaneous write-off activity, which is also recorded in Gain (Loss) on Disposal of Property, Net on the consolidated statements of operations.

(2)Our term loans carry an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread. While most of the rates are fixed through the use of swaps, there is a portion of these loans that are not subject to a swap, and thus are still indexed to LIBOR.
Debt Activity—On July 2, 2021, we entered into a new $980 million credit facility comprised of a $500 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility and two $240 million senior unsecured term loan tranches (the “Refinancing”). In connection with the Refinancing, we paid off the $472.5 million term loan due in 2025. The revolving credit facility will mature in January 2026, and the two senior unsecured term loan tranches will mature in November 2025 and July 2026, respectively.
On July 20, 2021, we used proceeds from the underwritten IPO to retire our $375 million term loan maturing in 2022.
Debt Allocation—The allocation of total debt between fixed-rate and variable-rate as well as between secured and unsecured, excluding market debt adjustments and deferred financing expenses, net, and including the effects of derivative financial instruments (see Notes 7 and 12) as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is summarized below (in thousands):

7. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives—We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposure to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding, and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into interest rate swaps to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash receipts and our known or expected cash payments principally related to our investments and borrowings.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk—Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for our making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with certain variable-rate debt. Amounts reported in AOCI related to these derivatives will be reclassified to Interest Expense, Net as interest payments are made on the variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $18.2 million will be reclassified from AOCI as an increase to Interest Expense, Net.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features—We have agreements with our derivative counterparties that contain provisions where, if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared to be in default on our derivative obligations. As of June 30, 2021, the fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position, which included accrued interest but excluded any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was approximately $39.9 million. As of June 30, 2021, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any agreement provisions. If we had breached any of these provisions, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value of $39.9 million.

8. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Litigation—We are involved in various claims and litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages. Many of these matters are covered by insurance, although they may nevertheless be subject to deductibles or retentions. Although the ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined, based upon information currently available, we believe the resolution of such claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Environmental Matters—In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, we may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. In addition, we may own or acquire certain properties that are subject to environmental remediation. Depending on the nature of the environmental matter, the seller of the property, a tenant of the property, and/or another third party may be responsible for environmental remediation costs related to a property. Additionally, in connection with the purchase of certain properties, the respective sellers and/or tenants may agree to indemnify us against future remediation costs. We also carry environmental liability insurance on our properties that provides limited coverage for any remediation liability and/or pollution liability for third-party bodily injury and/or property damage claims for which we may be liable. We are not aware of any environmental matters which we believe are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Captive Insurance—Our captive insurance company, Silver Rock Insurance, Inc. (“Silver Rock”) provides general liability insurance, wind, reinsurance, and other coverage to us and our related-party joint ventures. We capitalize Silver Rock in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
Silver Rock established annual premiums based on the past loss experience of the insured properties. An independent third party was engaged to perform an actuarial estimate of projected future claims, related deductibles, and projected future expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Silver Rock may be adjusted based on these estimates, and such premiums may be reimbursed by tenants pursuant to specific lease terms.
As of June 30, 2021, we had four letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately $9.0 million to provide security for our obligations under Silver Rock’s insurance and reinsurance contracts.

9. EQUITY
General—The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including one vote per nominee in the election of the Board. Our charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.

Reverse Stock Split—On July 2, 2021, we effected a one-for-three reverse stock split. Concurrent with the reverse split, the Operating Partnership enacted a one-for-three reverse split of its outstanding OP units. Neither the number of authorized shares nor the par value of the common stock were impacted. As a result of the reverse split, every three shares of our common stock or OP units were automatically combined and converted into one issued and outstanding share of common stock or OP unit rounded to the nearest 1/100th share. The reverse stock split impacts all common stock and OP units proportionately and had no impact on any stockholder’s percentage ownership of common stock.
In connection with the reverse stock split, the number of shares of common stock and OP units underlying the outstanding share-based awards was also proportionately reduced. All references to shares of common stock, number of OP units, and per share data for all periods presented in our consolidated financial statements and notes have been adjusted to reflect the reverse split on a retroactive basis.
Class B Common Stock—Our stockholders approved Articles of Amendment that effected a change of each share of our common stock outstanding at the time the amendment became effective into one share of a newly-created class of Class B common stock (the “Recapitalization”). The Articles of Amendment became effective upon filing with, and acceptance by, the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland on July 2, 2021.
Our Class B common stock is identical to our common stock, except that (i) we do not intend to list our Class B common stock on a national securities exchange, and (ii) upon the six month anniversary of the listing of our common stock for trading on a national securities exchange, or January 15, 2022 (or such earlier date or dates as may be approved by our Board in certain circumstances with respect to all or any portion of the outstanding shares of our Class B common stock), each share of our Class B common stock will automatically, and without any stockholder action, convert into one share of our listed common stock.
Underwritten IPO—On July 19, 2021, we completed an underwritten IPO and issued 17.0 million shares of common stock at an offering price of $28.00 per share. We used a portion of the net proceeds to reduce our leverage and expect to use the remaining amount to fund external growth with property acquisitions and for other general corporate uses. As part of the underwritten IPO, underwriters were granted an option exercisable within 30 days from July 14, 2021 to purchase up to an additional 2.55 million shares of common stock at the underwritten IPO price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On July 29, 2021, the underwriters exercised their option.
Distributions—Distributions paid to stockholders and OP unit holders of record subsequent to June 30, 2021 were as follows (dollars in thousands, excluding per share amounts):
MonthDate of RecordMonthly Distribution RateDate Distribution PaidCash Distribution

July 20217/15/20210.085 8/2/20219,065 
On August 4, 2021, our Board authorized distributions to the stockholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 2021, equal to a monthly amount of $0.085 per share of common stock. OP unit holders will receive distributions at the same rate as common stockholders.
Convertible Noncontrolling Interests—As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had approximately 13.4 million and 13.3 million outstanding OP units, respectively. Additionally, certain of our outstanding restricted share and performance share awards will result in the issuance of OP units upon vesting in future periods.
Under the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”), OP unit holders may elect to exchange their OP units. The Operating Partnership controls the form of the redemption, and may elect to exchange OP units either for shares of our common stock, provided that the OP units have been outstanding for at least one year, or for cash. As the form of redemption for OP units is within our control, the OP units outstanding as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 are classified as Noncontrolling Interests within permanent equity on our consolidated balance sheets.
The table below is a summary of our OP unit activity for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 (dollars and shares in thousands):

Underwritten IPO Grants—In connection with our underwritten IPO, we issued a total of 0.5 million RSUs and restricted stock awards in the form of time-based stock compensation awards. The shares have a grant price of $28.00 per share and, with the exception of one individual whose award is subject to accelerated vesting provisions, 50% of the shares will vest after 18 months and the remaining 50% will vest after 36 months.
Estimated Value per Share—Prior to our underwritten IPO, on April 29, 2021, our Board increased the estimated value per share (“EVPS”) of our common stock to $31.65 based substantially on the estimated market value of our portfolio of real estate properties and our third-party investment management business as of March 31, 2021. We engaged a third-party valuation firm to provide a calculation of the range in EVPS of our common stock as of March 31, 2021, which reflected certain balance sheet assets and liabilities as of that date. Previously, our EVPS was $26.25, based substantially on the estimated market value of our portfolio of real estate properties and our third-party investment management business as of March 31, 2020.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan and Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”)—On August 4, 2021, as a result of our underwritten IPO, our Board approved the termination of the DRIP and the SRP. The DRIP has been suspended since April 2021. The SRP, which was limited to repurchases resulting from the death, qualifying disability, or the declaration of incompetence (“DDI”) of stockholders, has been suspended since March 2021, and the SRP for standard repurchases had been suspended since August 2019.

10. EARNINGS PER SHARE
We use the two-class method of computing earnings per share (“EPS”), which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid). Under the two-class method, basic EPS is computed by dividing Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from share equivalent activity. EPS reflects earnings per common share prior to the Recapitalization.
OP units held by limited partners other than us are considered to be participating securities because they contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, and have the potential to be exchanged for an equal number of shares of our common stock in accordance with the terms of the Partnership Agreement.
The impact of these outstanding OP units on basic and diluted EPS has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the OP units based on dividends declared and the OP units’ participation rights in undistributed earnings. The effects of the two-class method on basic and diluted EPS were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements during the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share calculations, restated for prior periods to display the effect of the reverse split, and excluding the effects of the Recapitalization as it occurred after June 30, 2021 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

(1)Recurring fees include asset management fees and property management fees.
(2)Transactional revenue includes items such as leasing commissions, construction management fees, and acquisition fees.
(3)Insurance premium income includes amounts for reinsurance from third parties not affiliated with us.
Tax Protection Agreement—Through our Operating Partnership, we are currently party to a tax protection agreement (the “2017 TPA”) with certain partners that contributed property to our Operating Partnership on October 4, 2017, among them certain of our executive officers, including Jeffrey S. Edison, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, under which the Operating Partnership has agreed to indemnify such partners for tax liabilities that could accrue to them personally related to our potential disposition of certain properties within our portfolio. The 2017 TPA will expire on October 4, 2027. On July 19, 2021, we entered into an additional tax protection agreement (the “2021 TPA”) with certain of our executive officers, including Mr. Edison. The 2021 TPA carries a term of four years and will become effective upon the expiration of the 2017 TPA. As of June 30, 2021, the potential “make-whole amount” on the estimated aggregate amount of built-in gain subject to protection under the agreements is approximately $152.6 million. The protection provided under the terms of the 2021 TPA will expire in 2031. We have not recorded any liability related to the 2017 TPA or the 2021 TPA on our consolidated balance sheets for any periods presented, nor recognized any expense since the inception of the 2017 TPA, owing to the fact that any potential liability under the agreements is controlled by us and we will either (i) continue to own and operate the protected properties or (ii) be able to successfully complete Section 1031 Exchanges (unless there is a change in applicable law) or complete other tax-efficient transactions to avoid any liability under the agreements.
Other Related Party Matters—We are the limited guarantor for up to $190 million, capped at $50 million in most instances, of debt for our NRP joint venture. As of June 30, 2021, the outstanding loan balance related to our NRP joint venture was $32.1 million. As of June 30, 2021, we were also the limited guarantor of a $175 million mortgage loan secured by GRP I properties. Our guaranty for both the NRP and GRP I debt is limited to being the non-recourse carveout guarantor and the environmental indemnitor. Further, in both cases, we are also party to an agreement with our institutional joint venture partners in which any potential liability under such guarantees will be apportioned between us and our applicable joint venture partner based on our respective ownership percentages in the applicable joint venture. We have no liability recorded on our consolidated balance sheets for either guaranty as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020.
Additionally, during 2021, we made a cash investment of $3.0 million into a third-party company in exchange for preferred shares of their stock. As part of the investment agreement, the third-party company committed to enter into leases at two of our properties. As of August 5, 2021, we had entered into two leases under the terms of the investment agreement, both of which carry a term of 10 years, over which period we expect to receive contractual rents of $2.6 million in total for both leases.

12. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
The following describes the methods we use to estimate the fair value of our financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities: 
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable—We consider the carrying values of these financial instruments to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization.
Real Estate Investments—The purchase prices of the investment properties, including related lease intangible assets and liabilities, were allocated at estimated fair value based on Level 3 inputs, such as discount rates, capitalization rates, comparable sales, replacement costs, income and expense growth rates, and current market rents and allowances as determined by management.
Debt Obligations—We estimate the fair value of our debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by our lenders using Level 3 inputs. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assuming the debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the debt’s collateral (if applicable). We have utilized market information, as available, or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed.

(2)The carrying value of impaired real estate assets may have subsequently increased or decreased after the measurement date due to capital improvements, depreciation, or sale.
Derivative Instruments—As of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we had interest rate swaps that fixed LIBOR on portions of our unsecured term loan facilities.
All interest rate swap agreements are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
To comply with the provisions of ASC Topic 820, Fair Value Measurement, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although we determined that the significant inputs used to value our derivatives fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our counterparties and our own credit risk utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Earn-out—As part of our acquisition of PELP in 2017, an earn-out structure was established which gave PELP the opportunity to earn additional OP units based upon the potential achievement of certain performance targets subsequent to the acquisition. After the expiration of certain provisions in 2019, PELP is now eligible to earn a minimum of 1.0 million and a maximum of approximately 1.7 million OP units as contingent consideration based upon the timing and valuation of a liquidity event for PECO. Certain of these performance targets are tied to the post-underwritten IPO trading price of our common stock. The number of OP units awarded will vary based on the highest volume weighted average price per share of our common stock over any 30 consecutive trading day period during the 180 days following the underwritten IPO commencement (the “liquidity event price per share”):
if the liquidity event price per share is greater than or equal to $33.60, PELP will receive approximately 1.7 million OP units;








PHILLIPS EDISON & COMPANY
JUNE 30, 2021 FORM 10-Q

Table of Contents
if the liquidity event price per share is less than $33.60 but greater than or equal to $26.40, PELP will receive a number of OP units equal to (i) 1.0 million plus (ii) the product of (A) approximately 0.7 million and (B) the quotient obtained by dividing the liquidity event price per share in excess of $26.40 by $7.20; or
if the liquidity event price per share is less than $26.40, PELP will receive 1.0 million OP units.
Prior to the second quarter of 2021, we estimated the fair value of the earn-out liability on a quarterly basis using the Monte Carlo method. As of June 30, 2021, our underwritten IPO process had commenced and thus the only remaining variable for calculating final amounts to be paid under the earn-out agreement was the liquidity event price per share. Therefore, we estimated the fair value of the liability related to the earn-out using a probability-weighted model to estimate the liquidity event price per share. In calculating the fair value of this liability as of June 30, 2021, we have determined that 1.0 million OP units have been earned and the most likely range of potential outcomes includes a possibility of no additional OP units issued as well as up to a maximum of approximately 0.667 million units being issued.
For the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recorded expense of $2.0 million related to the change in fair value of the earn-out liability. There was no change to the fair value of our earn-out liability for the three months ended June 30, 2020. We recorded expense of $18.0 million and income of $10.0 million, respectively, for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and June 30, 2020 related to changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability. The increase in the fair value of the liability as of June 30, 2021 was attributable to the commencement of our underwritten IPO as well as improved market conditions in 2021. The change in fair value for each period has been recognized in Other (Expense) Income, Net in the consolidated statements of operations.
Real Estate Asset Impairment—Our real estate assets are measured and recognized at fair value, less costs to sell for held-for-sale properties, on a nonrecurring basis dependent upon when we determine an impairment has occurred. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, we impaired assets that were under contract at a disposition price that was less than carrying value, or that had other operational impairment indicators. The valuation technique used for the fair value of all impaired real estate assets was the expected net sales proceeds, which we consider to be a Level 2 input in the fair value hierarchy. There were no impairment charges recorded during the three and six months ended June 30, 2020.
On a quarterly basis, we employ a multi-step approach to assess our real estate assets for possible impairment and record any impairment charges identified. The first step is the identification of potential triggering events, such as significant decreases in occupancy or the presence of large dark or vacant spaces. If we observe any of these indicators for a shopping center, we then perform an additional screen test consisting of a years-to-recover analysis to determine if we will recover the net carrying value of the property over its remaining economic life based upon net operating income (“NOI”) as forecasted for the current year. In the event that the results of this first step indicate a triggering event for a center, we proceed to the second step, utilizing an undiscounted cash flow model for the center to identify potential impairment. If the undiscounted cash flows are less than the net book value of the center as of the balance sheet date, we proceed to the third step. In performing the third step, we utilize market data such as capitalization rates and sales price per square foot on comparable recent real estate transactions to estimate fair value of the real estate assets. We also utilize expected net sales proceeds to estimate the fair value of any centers that are actively being marketed for sale. If the estimated fair value of the property is less than the recorded net book value at the balance sheet date, we record an impairment charge.
In addition to these procedures, we also review undeveloped or unimproved land parcels that we own for evidence of impairment and record any impairment charges as necessary. Primary impairment triggers for these land parcels are changes to our plans or intentions with regards to such properties, or planned dispositions at prices that are less than the current carrying values.
Our quarterly impairment procedures have not been altered by the COVID-19 pandemic, as we believe key impairment indicators such as temporary store closings and large dark or vacant spaces will continue to be identified in our review. We have utilized forecasts that incorporate estimated decreases in NOI and cash flows as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in performing our review procedures for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020. However, it is possible that we could experience unanticipated changes in assumptions that are employed in our impairment review which could impact our cash flows and fair value conclusions. Such unanticipated changes relative to our expectations may include but are not limited to: increases or decreases in the duration or permanence of tenant closures, increases or decreases in collectibility reserves and write-offs, additional capital required to fill vacancies, extended lease-up periods, future closings of large tenants, changes in macroeconomic assumptions such as rate of inflation and capitalization rates, and changes to the estimated timing of disposition of the properties under review.

KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATORS AND DEFINED TERMS
We use certain key performance indicators (“KPIs”), which include both financial and nonfinancial metrics, to measure the performance of our operations. We believe these KPIs, as well as the core concepts and terms defined below, allow our Board, management, and investors to analyze trends around our business strategy, financial condition, and results of operations in a manner that is focused on items unique to the retail real estate industry.
We do not consider our non-GAAP measures to be alternatives to measures required in accordance with GAAP. Certain non-GAAP measures should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance as they may not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, and they may not reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, depreciation








PHILLIPS EDISON & COMPANY
JUNE 30, 2021 FORM 10-Q
20

Table of Contents
and amortization, interest expense, other income (expense), or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our shopping centers that could materially impact our results from operations. Additionally, certain non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an indication of our liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions, and may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate our business in the manner currently contemplated. Accordingly, non-GAAP measures should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating similar non-GAAP measures, and accordingly, our non-GAAP measures may not be comparable to other REITs.
Our KPIs and terminology can be grouped into three key areas:
PORTFOLIO—Portfolio metrics help management to gauge the health of our centers overall and individually.
Anchor space—We define an anchor space as a space greater than or equal to 10,000 square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”).
ABR—We use ABR to refer to the monthly contractual base rent as of June 30, 2021 multiplied by twelve months.
ABR per Square Foot (“PSF”)—This metric is calculated by dividing ABR by leased GLA. Increases in ABR PSF can be an indication of our ability to create rental rate growth in our centers, as well as an indication of demand for our spaces, which generally provides us with greater leverage during lease negotiations.
GLA—We use GLA to refer to the total occupied and unoccupied square footage of a building that is available for tenants (whom we refer to as a “Neighbor” or our “Neighbors”) or other retailers to lease.
Inline space—We define an inline space as a space containing less than 10,000 square feet of GLA.
Leased Occupancy—This metric is calculated as the percentage of total GLA for which a lease has been signed regardless of whether the lease has commenced or the Neighbor has taken possession. High occupancy is an indicator of demand for our spaces, which generally provides us with greater leverage during lease negotiations.
Underwritten incremental yield—This reflects the yield we target to generate from a project upon expected stabilization and is calculated as the estimated incremental NOI for a project at stabilization divided by its estimated net project investment. The estimated incremental NOI is the difference between the estimated annualized NOI we target to generate by project upon stabilization and the estimated annualized NOI without the planned improvements. Underwritten incremental yield does not include peripheral impacts, such as lease rollover risk or the impact on the long term value of the property upon sale or disposition. Actual incremental yields may vary from our underwritten incremental yield range based on the actual total cost to complete a project and its actual incremental NOI at stabilization.

LEASING—Leasing is a key driver of growth for our company.
Comparable lease—We use this term to refer to a lease with consistent structure that is executed for substantially the exact same space that has been vacant less than twelve months.
Comparable rent spread—This metric is calculated as being the percentage increase or decrease in first-year ABR (excluding any free rent or escalations) on new or renewal leases (excluding options) where the lease was considered a comparable lease. This metric provides an indication of our ability to generate revenue growth through leasing activity.
Cost of executing new leases—We use this term to refer to certain costs associated with new leasing, namely, leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs, and tenant concessions.
Portfolio retention rate—This metric is calculated by dividing (i) total square feet of retained Neighbors with current period lease expirations by (ii) the total square feet of leases expiring during the period. The portfolio retention rate provides insight into our ability to retain Neighbors at our shopping centers as their leases approach expiration. Generally, the costs to retain an existing Neighbor are lower than costs to replace with a new Neighbor.
Recovery rate—This metric is calculated by dividing (i) total recovery income by (ii) total recoverable expenses during the period. A high recovery rate is an indicator of our ability to recover certain property operating expenses and capital costs from our Neighbors.
FINANCIAL PERFORMANCE—In addition to financial metrics calculated in accordance with GAAP, such as net income, we utilize non-GAAP metrics to measure our operational and financial performance. See the section within this Item 2 titled Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Measures for further discussion on the following metrics.
Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation, and Amortization for Real Estate (“Adjusted EBITDAre”)—To arrive at Adjusted EBITDAre, we adjust EBITDAre, as defined below, to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items including, but not limited to: (i) changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability; (ii) other impairment charges; (iii) amortization of basis differences in our investments in our unconsolidated joint ventures; and (iv) transaction and acquisition expenses. We use EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as additional measures of operating performance which allow us to compare earnings independent of capital structure and evaluate debt leverage and fixed cost coverage.
Core Funds From Operations (“Core FFO”)—To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust Nareit FFO attributable to stockholders and OP unit holders, as defined below, to exclude certain recurring and non-recurring items including, but not limited to: (i) depreciation and amortization of corporate assets; (ii) changes in the fair value of the earn-out liability; (iii) amortization of unconsolidated joint venture basis differences; (iv) gains or losses on the extinguishment or

Table of Contents
modification of debt, (v) other impairment charges; and (vi) transaction and acquisition expenses. We believe Nareit FFO provides insight into our operating performance as it excludes certain items that are not indicative of such performance. Core FFO provides further insight into the sustainability of our operating performance and provides an additional measure to compare our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income (loss).
EBITDAre—The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) defines EBITDAre as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP before: (i) interest expense; (ii) income tax expense; (iii) depreciation and amortization; (iv) gains or losses from disposition of depreciable property; and (v) impairment write-downs of depreciable property. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect EBITDAre on the same basis.
Equity Market Capitalization—We calculate equity market capitalization as the total dollar value of all outstanding shares.
Nareit FFO—Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding: (i) gains (or losses) from sales of property and gains (or losses) from change in control; (ii) depreciation and amortization related to real estate; (iii) impairment losses on real estate and impairments of in-substance real estate investments in investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures; and (iv) adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We calculate Nareit FFO in a manner consistent with the Nareit definition.
Net Debt—We calculate net debt as total debt, excluding market adjustments and deferred financing expenses, less cash and cash equivalents.
Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre—This ratio is calculated by dividing net debt by Adjusted EBITDAre (included on an annualized basis within the calculation). It provides insight into our leverage rate based on earnings and is not impacted by fluctuations in our equity price.
Net Debt to Total Enterprise Value—This ratio is calculated by dividing net debt by total enterprise value. It provides insight into our capital structure and usage of debt.
NOI—We calculate NOI as total operating revenues, adjusted to exclude non-cash revenue items, less property operating expenses and real estate taxes. NOI provides insight about our financial and operating performance because it provides a performance measure of the revenues and expenses directly involved in owning and operating real estate assets and provides a perspective not immediately apparent from net income (loss).
Same-Center—We use this term to refer to a property, or portfolio of properties, that has been owned and operational for the entirety of each reporting period (i.e., since January 1, 2020).
Total Enterprise Value—We calculate total enterprise value as our net debt plus our equity market capitalization on a fully diluted basis.

OVERVIEW
We are a REIT and one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of omni-channel grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers. The majority of our revenue is lease revenue derived from our real estate investments. Additionally, we operate an investment management business providing property management and advisory services to over $460 million of unconsolidated joint ventures.

RECAPITALIZATION—On June 18, 2021, our stockholders approved Articles of Amendment that effected the Recapitalization, wherein each share of our common stock outstanding at the time the amendment became effective was converted into one share of a newly created class of Class B common stock. The Articles of Amendment became effective upon filing with, and acceptance by, the State Department of Assessments and Taxation of Maryland on July 2, 2021. Unless otherwise indicated, all information in this Form 10-Q disclosure gives effect to the Recapitalization and references to “shares” and per share metrics refer to our common stock and Class B common stock, collectively (Note 9).
REVERSE STOCK SPLIT—On July 2, 2021, our Board approved an amendment to our articles of incorporation to effect a one-for-three reverse stock split. Concurrent with the reverse split, the Operating Partnership enacted a one-for-three reverse split of its outstanding OP units. Unless otherwise indicated, the information in this Form 10-Q gives effect to the reverse stock and OP unit splits (Note 9).
UNDERWRITTEN INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING—On July 19, 2021, we closed our underwritten IPO, through which we offered 17.0 million shares of a new class of common stock, $0.01 par value per share, at an initial price of $28.00 per share, pursuant to a registration statement filed with the SEC on Form S-11 (File No. 333-255846), as amended. These shares are listed on the Nasdaq Global Select Market under the trading symbol “PECO”. The underwriters have since exercised a 30-day option to purchase additional shares of common stock to cover overallotments, and, accordingly, on August 2, 2021 we settled the sale of an additional 2.55 million shares, with gross proceeds to us of $71.4 million.
On August 4, 2021, as a result of our underwritten IPO, our Board approved the termination of the DRIP and the SRP. The DRIP has been suspended since April 2021. The SRP, which was limited to repurchases resulting from the DDI of stockholders, has been suspended since March 2021, and the SRP for standard repurchases had been suspended since August 2019.
COVID-19 STRATEGY—During 2020, as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, many state governments issued “stay-at-home” mandates that generally limited travel and movement of the general public to essential activities only and required all non-essential businesses to close.
Our management team determined the following were the key actions for recovery in our portfolio (all statistics are approximate and include the prorated portion attributable to properties owned through our joint ventures):
Returning to Monthly Payments—We continue to work with our Neighbors to resume normal monthly rent payments, and our efforts have included raising awareness of the benefits available through numerous governmental relief programs. We have seen our collections continue to improve from the second quarter of 2020. The following table summarizes our collections by quarter, as they were originally reported as well as updated for payments received subsequent to the month billed:

Q1 202195 %98 %
Q2 2021N/A98 %
(1)Including collections received through July 20, 2021.
As of July 20, 2021, approximately 95% of our Neighbor spaces are paying their rent in full.
Recovering Missed Rent Charges—We believe substantially all Neighbors, including those that were required to temporarily close under governmental mandates, are contractually obligated to continue with their rent payments as documented in our lease agreements with them. However, we decided to negotiate relief for a small subset of our Neighbors in the form of rent deferrals or abatements. As of July 20, 2021, we have $5.3 million of outstanding payment plans with our Neighbors, and we had recorded rent abatements of approximately $0.7 million during 2021, related to 2021 missed rental income. These payment plans and rent abatements represented approximately 2.0% and 0.3% of portfolio rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. As of July 20, 2021, approximately 54% of payments are scheduled to be received by December 31, 2021 for all executed payment plans, and the weighted-average term over which we expect to receive remaining amounts owed on executed payment plans is approximately twelve months.
We are still actively pursuing past due amounts under the terms negotiated with our Neighbors. For our entire portfolio, inclusive of our prorated share of properties owned through joint ventures, 69% of the missed monthly charges billed during the first and second quarters of 2021 have since been collected, and 5% have been waived, as of July 20, 2021, bringing both Q1 and Q2 2021 collections to 98%. We will continue to work with Neighbors on establishing plans to repay past due amounts, and will monitor the impact of such payment plans on our results of operations in future quarters. We cannot guarantee that we will ultimately be able to collect these amounts.

Monitoring for Credit Risk—The COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic downturn has increased the uncertainty of collecting rents from a number of our Neighbors. We have been closely monitoring the status of our Neighbors to identify those who potentially pose a credit risk in order to appropriately account for the impact to revenue and in order to quickly take action when a Neighbor is ultimately unable to remain in a space.
For Neighbors with a higher degree of uncertainty as to their creditworthiness, we may not record revenue for amounts billed until the cash is received. Based on our analysis, no individual Neighbor category has been accounted for entirely on a cash basis as of June 30, 2021 or throughout the pandemic; however, we continue to evaluate each Neighbor individually to determine if they should be accounted for on a cash basis. For the three months ended June 30, 2021, inclusive of the prorated portion attributable to properties owned through our joint ventures, we had $1.3 million in net favorable monthly revenue adjustments for Neighbors who are being accounted for on a cash basis. For the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had $3.6 million in net unfavorable monthly revenue adjustments for Neighbors who are being accounted for on a cash basis. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2020, inclusive of the prorated portion attributable to properties owned through our joint ventures, we had $12.1 million and $15.0 million, respectively, in net unfavorable monthly revenue adjustments for Neighbors who are being accounted for on a cash basis. As of June 30, 2021, our Neighbors currently being accounted for on a cash basis represented approximately 8% of our total Neighbor spaces, or approximately 7.4% of portfolio ABR. Further, many of our Neighbors who are on a cash basis of accounting are actively making payments toward their outstanding balances. When considering the ABR associated with Neighbors who are currently on a cash basis of accounting, 76% of this ABR is represented by Neighbors who are actively making payments.
Additionally, certain of our Neighbors have entered into bankruptcy proceedings. While some of these cases have already been resolved, with the assumption or rejection of the lease already reflected in our results, in some cases these claims have yet to be resolved, and as such, the potential fallout is not yet reflected in our occupancy rate or ABR metrics. We believe that Neighbors in the bankruptcy process represent an exposure of less than 1% of our total portfolio ABR as of June 30, 2021. We have included our assessment of the impact of these bankruptcies in our estimate of rent collectibility, which impacted recorded revenue, as noted previously.
Certain of our Neighbors have been unable to remain in their spaces as a result of the factors previously noted. Despite this fallout, our leasing activity has been strong as demand for space in our centers remains high, allowing us to re-lease these spaces to Neighbors who may increase our concentration of necessity-based and omni-channel retailers. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, our wholly-owned portfolio retention rate was 85.5% and 87.2%, respectively. Additionally, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2021, for our wholly-owned portfolio, we executed 124 and 277 new leases, respectively, each an increase as compared to the same period a year ago.

Our ability to create rental rate growth generally depends on our leverage during new and renewal lease negotiations with prospective and existing Neighbors, which typically occurs when occupancy at our centers is high or during periods of economic growth and recovery. Conversely, we may experience rental rate decline when occupancy at our centers is low or during periods of economic recession, as the leverage during new and renewal lease negotiations may shift to prospective and existing Neighbors.

We define “Necessity-based goods and services” as goods and services that are indispensable, necessary, or common for day-to-day living, or that tend to be inelastic (i.e., those for which the demand does not change based on a consumer’s income level). We estimate that approximately 73% of our ABR, including the pro rata portion attributable to properties owned through our joint ventures, is from Neighbors providing necessity-based goods and services. Additionally, within these categories, we estimate that approximately 50% of our ABR is from retail and service businesses generally deemed essential under most state and local mandates issued in response to the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
KNOWN TRENDS AND UNCERTAINTIES OF THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC—The COVID-19 pandemic has resulted in reduced revenues beginning with the second quarter of 2020 and continuing through the second quarter of 2021, and our estimates around collectibility will likely continue to create volatility in our earnings. The total impact on revenue in the future cannot be determined at this time. The duration of the pandemic and mitigating measures, and the resulting economic impact, has caused some of our Neighbors to permanently vacate their spaces and/or not renew their leases, and we may have difficulty leasing these spaces on the same or better terms or at all, and/or incur additional costs to lease vacant spaces, which may reduce our occupancy rates in the future and ultimately reduce our revenue. Extended periods of vacancy or reduced revenues may trigger impairments of our real estate assets.
We believe that our investment focus on grocery-anchored shopping centers that provide daily necessities has helped and will continue to help lessen the negative effect of the pandemic on our business compared to non-grocery anchored shopping centers.

Our basis for analyzing significant fluctuations in our results of operations generally includes review of the results of our same-center portfolio, non-same-center portfolio, and revenues and expenses from our management activities. We define our same-center portfolio as the 268 properties that were owned and operational prior to January 1, 2020. We define our non-same-center portfolio as those properties that were not fully owned and operational in both periods owing to real estate asset activity occurring after December 31, 2019, which includes 19 properties disposed of and four properties acquired. Below are explanations of the significant fluctuations in the results of operations for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020:
Rental Income increased $14.7 million as follows:
$15.5 million increase related to our same-center portfolio primarily as follows:
$16.0 million increase primarily due to stronger collections in 2021 as compared with lower collections in 2020, the increase owing largely to the ongoing recovery of our portfolio in the wake of the COVID-19 pandemic and its economic impact, including a decrease in Neighbors we have identified as a credit risk as well as collections on charges that were uncollected in 2020;
$0.5 million increase primarily due to a $0.57 increase in average minimum rent per square foot, partially offset by a 0.8% decrease in average economic occupancy; and
$1.0 million decrease attributable to lower recoveries from a lower recovery rate and lower economic occupancy.
$0.8 million decrease primarily related to our net disposition of 15 properties.
Property Operating Expenses increased $2.3 million as follows:
$2.5 million increase related to our same-center portfolio and corporate operating activities, owing largely to lower expense for performance-based compensation during 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as compared to 2021; and
$0.2 million decrease related to our net disposition of 15 properties.
General and Administrative Expenses increased $2.1 million as follows:
$3.4 million increase owing largely to lower expense for performance-based compensation during 2020 as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic, as compared to 2021;
$0.8 million decrease primarily due to lower third-party consultant and custodial costs; and
$0.5 million decrease related to expense reductions taken to reduce the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the majority of these decreases related to overhead costs at our corporate offices.

Impairment of Real Estate Assets:
The $1.1 million increase in impairment of real estate assets was due to assets that are actively being marketed for sale at a disposition price that was less than the carrying value. Proceeds from dispositions will be used to fund tax-efficient acquisitions, to fund redevelopment opportunities in owned centers, and for general corporate purposes. We continue to sell non-core assets and may potentially recognize impairments in future quarters.
Interest Expense, Net:
The $3.0 million decrease during the three months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 was due to: (i) lower borrowings as a result of early repayments of debt; (ii) the repayment of our draw on the revolver during the second quarter of 2020; and (iii) lower interest rates due to the decrease in LIBOR and expiring interest rate swaps.

Gain (Loss) on Disposal of Property, Net:
The $4.3 million change was primarily related to the sale of seven properties with a net gain (in addition to other property-related miscellaneous disposals and write-offs) of $3.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2021, as compared to the sale of one property (as well as other property-related miscellaneous disposals and write-offs) with a net loss of $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2020 (see Note 4).
Other Expense, Net:
The $2.4 million increase was largely due to the change in the fair value of our earn-out liability as a result of general improving market conditions. Other Expense, Net was comprised of the following (dollars in thousands):

NON-GAAP MEASURES
See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Key Performance Indicators and Defined Terms” of this filing on Form 10-Q for a discussion related to the following non-GAAP measures.
SAME-CENTER NET OPERATING INCOME—Same-Center NOI is presented as a supplemental measure of our performance, as it highlights operating trends such as occupancy levels, rental rates, and operating costs for our Same-Center portfolio. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Center NOI, and accordingly, our Same-Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for the 268 properties that were wholly-owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable periods.
Same-Center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance as it does not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income (expense), or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties that could materially impact our results from operations.

NAREIT FFO AND CORE FFO—Nareit FFO is a non-GAAP financial performance measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. Core FFO is an additional financial performance measure used by us as Nareit FFO includes certain non-comparable items that affect our performance over time. Core FFO is helpful in assisting management and investors with assessing the sustainability of our operating performance in future periods.

Nareit FFO, Nareit FFO Attributable to Stockholders and OP Unit Holders, and Core FFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) under GAAP, as an indication of our liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. Core FFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate our business plan in the manner currently contemplated.
Accordingly, Nareit FFO, Nareit FFO Attributable to Stockholders and OP Unit Holders, and Core FFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our Nareit FFO, Nareit FFO Attributable to Stockholders and OP Unit Holders, and Core FFO, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.

EBITDAre and ADJUSTED EBITDAre—We use EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre as additional measures of operating performance which allow us to compare earnings independent of capital structure, determine debt service and fixed cost coverage, and measure enterprise value. Additionally, we believe they are a useful indicator of our ability to support our debt obligations.
EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), as an indication of our liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. Accordingly, EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
GENERAL—Aside from standard operating expenses, we expect our principal cash demands to be for:
cash distributions to stockholders;
investments in real estate;
capital expenditures and leasing costs;
redevelopment and repositioning projects; and
principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness.
We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be:
net proceeds from our underwritten IPO;
operating cash flows;
proceeds received from the disposition of properties;
proceeds from equity and debt financings, including borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility;
distributions received from our unconsolidated joint ventures; and
available, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
At this time, we believe our current sources of liquidity, most significantly the net proceeds from our underwritten IPO, our operating cash flows, and borrowing availability on our revolving credit facility, are sufficient to meet our short- and long-term cash demands.

UNDERWRITTEN INITIAL PUBLIC OFFERING—On July 19, 2021, we completed an underwritten IPO and issued 17.0 million shares of common stock at an offering price of $28.00 per share. We used a portion of the net proceeds to reduce our leverage and expect to use the remaining amount to fund external growth with property acquisitions and for other general corporate uses. As part of the underwritten IPO, underwriters were granted an option exercisable within 30 days from July 14, 2021 to purchase up to an additional 2.55 million shares of common stock at the underwritten IPO price, less underwriting discounts and commissions. On July 29, 2021, the underwriters exercised their option.
DEBT—The following table summarizes information about our debt as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 (dollars in thousands):

(1)In July 2021, we refinanced the revolving credit facility and exercised our option to extend its maturity as noted below.
(2)Net of any outstanding balance and letters of credit.
In July 2021, we took steps to reduce our leverage, lower our cost of debt, and appropriately ladder our debt maturities as follows:
On July 2, 2021, we completed the Refinancing. In connection with the Refinancing, we paid off the $472.5 million term loan due in 2025. The revolving credit facility will mature in January 2026, and the two senior unsecured term loan tranches will mature in November 2025 and July 2026, respectively.
On July 20, 2021, we used proceeds from the underwritten IPO to retire our $375.0 million term loan maturing in 2022.
We have been assigned investment grade ratings from Moody’s Investors Service (Baa3) and S&P Global Ratings (BBB-) which may allow us access to additional capital markets. We expect to save approximately $7.2 million in interest annually as a result of our debt activity and our investment grade ratings. Further, our weighted-average interest rate was 3.1% as of June 30, 2021, as adjusted to reflect certain material July debt transactions described above.
The allocation of total debt between fixed-rate and variable-rate as well as between secured and unsecured, excluding market debt adjustments and deferred financing expenses, net, and including the effects of derivative financial instruments (see Notes 7 and 12) as of June 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020 is summarized below.

CAPITAL EXPENDITURES AND REDEVELOPMENT ACTIVITY—We make capital expenditures during the course of normal operations, including maintenance capital expenditures and tenant improvements, as well as value-enhancing anchor space repositioning and redevelopment, ground-up outparcel development, and other accretive projects.
During the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, we had capital spend of $30.2 million and $28.5 million, respectively. Generally, we expect our development and redevelopment projects to stabilize within 24 months. We anticipate that obligations related to capital improvements as well as redevelopment and development in 2021 can be met with cash flows from operations, cash flows from dispositions, or borrowings on our unsecured revolving line of credit.

DISPOSITION ACTIVITY—We are actively evaluating our portfolio of assets for opportunities to make strategic dispositions of assets that no longer meet our growth and investment objectives or assets that have stabilized in order to capture their value. We expect to continue to make strategic dispositions during the remainder of 2021. The following table highlights our property dispositions (dollars in thousands):

(1)We retained an outparcel for one property sold during the six months ended June 30, 2021, and therefore the sale did not result in a reduction in our total property count.
(2)One outparcel sold during the six months ended June 30, 2021 was the only remaining portion of one of our properties, and therefore the sale resulted in a reduction in our total property count.
(3)In addition to the one outparcel sold during the six months ended June 30, 2021, a tenant at one of our properties exercised a bargain purchase option to acquire a parcel of land that we previously owned. This generated minimal proceeds for us.
(4)The gain (loss) on sale of property, net does not include miscellaneous write-off activity, which is also recorded in Gain (Loss) on Disposal of Property, Net on the consolidated statements of operations.

See “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Non-GAAP Measures - Nareit FFO and Core FFO” for a reconciliation of this non-GAAP financial measure to Net Income (Loss).
We paid monthly distributions of $0.085 per share, or $1.02 annualized, for the months of December 2020, and each month beginning January 2021 through July 2021. On August 4, 2021, the Board authorized a monthly distribution in the amount of $0.085 per share payable on September 1, 2021 to stockholders of record at the close of business on August 16, 2021.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain, and which does not necessarily equal net income or loss as calculated in accordance with GAAP). We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the income that we distribute to our stockholders each year due to meeting the REIT qualification requirements. However, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income, property, or net worth and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
We have not established a minimum distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make distributions to our stockholders.
DRIP AND THE SRP—On August 4, 2021, as a result of our underwritten IPO, our Board approved the termination of the DRIP and the SRP. The DRIP has been suspended since April 2021. The SRP, which was limited to repurchases resulting from the DDI of stockholders, has been suspended since March 2021, and the SRP for standard repurchases had been suspended since August 2019.

CASH FLOW ACTIVITIES—As of June 30, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $111.4 million, a net cash decrease of $20.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Below is a summary of our cash flow activity (dollars in thousands):
Six Months Ended June 30,
20212020$ Change% Change
Net cash provided by operating activities$129,897 $89,906 $39,991 44.5 %
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities49,837 (6,466)56,303 NM
Net cash used in financing activities(200,270)(99,218)(101,052)101.8 %
OPERATING ACTIVITIES—Our net cash provided by operating activities was primarily impacted by the following:
Property operations and working capital—Most of our operating cash comes from rental and tenant recovery income and is offset by property operating expenses, real estate taxes, and general and administrative costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a net cash inflow of $2.1 million from changes in working capital as compared to a net cash outlay of $24.3 million during the same period in 2020. This change was primarily driven by improved collections on amounts due from Neighbors as well as expense reduction initiatives, and was partially offset by higher leasing commissions. Additionally, we had an increase in returns on our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
Fee and management income—We also generate operating cash from our third-party investment management business, pursuant to various management and advisory agreements between us and the Managed Funds. Our fee and management income was $4.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021, a decrease of $0.3 million as compared to the same period in 2020.
Cash paid for interest—During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we paid $36.8 million for interest, a decrease of $4.1 million over the same period in 2020, largely due to: (i) lower borrowings as a result of early repayments of debt; (ii) the repayment of our draw on the revolver during the second quarter of 2020; and (iii) lower interest rates due to the decrease in LIBOR and expiring interest rate swaps.
INVESTING ACTIVITIES—Our net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was primarily impacted by the following:
Real estate acquisitions—During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our acquisitions resulted in a total cash outlay of $40.5 million, as compared to a total cash outlay of $4.3 million during the same period in 2020.
Real estate dispositions—During the six months ended June 30, 2021, our dispositions resulted in a net cash inflow of $119.6 million, as compared to a net cash inflow of $25.8 million during the same period in 2020.
Capital expenditures—We invest capital into leasing our properties and maintaining or improving the condition of our properties. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we paid $30.2 million for capital expenditures, an increase of $1.7 million over the same period in 2020, primarily due to the timing of our development and redevelopment projects and reduced spend during the same period period a year ago.
Return of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures—During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had a return of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures of $3.9 million, including $2.0 million in connection with NRP primarily as a result of property dispositions. During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we had a return of investment in unconsolidated joint ventures of $0.6 million.
Investment in third parties—During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we made an investment in a third party business that resulted in a net cash outflow of $3.0 million.
FINANCING ACTIVITIES—Our net cash used in financing activities was primarily impacted by the following:
Debt borrowings and payments—During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we had $66.2 million in net repayment of debt primarily as a result of early repayments of mortgage loans. During the six months ended June 30, 2020 we had net payments of $35.2 million, primarily as a result of a pay down in January 2020 of $30.0 million on term loan debt maturing in 2021.
Distributions to stockholders and OP unit holders—Cash used for distributions to common stockholders and OP unit holders decreased $2.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, due to a reduction of the distribution rate.
Share repurchases—Cash outflows for share repurchases increased by $72.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020, primarily as a result of a tender offer, which was settled in January 2021.

CONTRACTUAL COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We have debt obligations related to both our secured and unsecured debt. In addition, we have operating leases pertaining to office equipment for our business as well as ground leases at certain of our shopping centers. We are presenting our future contractual commitments and contingencies as of June 30, 2021 on an adjusted basis to reflect our material debt transactions occurring in July 2021 (see Note 6 for more details). The table below excludes obligations related to tenant allowances and improvements because such amounts are not fixed or determinable. However, we believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund any such amounts as they arise through cash from operations or borrowings.

(1)In July 2021, we amended our $500 million revolving credit facility to extend the maturity from October 2021 to January 2026, and lower the interest rate spread from 1.40% over LIBOR to 1.35% over LIBOR. Additionally, the new terms include two six-month maturity extension options. As of June 30, 2021, we have no outstanding balance on our revolving credit facility.
(2)Future variable-rate interest payments are based on interest rates as of June 30, 2021, including the impact of our swap agreements.
Our portfolio debt instruments and the unsecured revolving credit facility contain certain covenants and restrictions. The following list provides an update to certain restrictive covenants specific to the unsecured revolving credit facility and unsecured term loans that were deemed significant as a result of our debt activity occurring in July 2021:
limits the ratio of total debt to total asset value, as defined, to 60% or less with a surge to 65% for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters following a material acquisition;
limits the ratio of secured debt to total asset value, as defined, to 35% or less with a surge to 40% for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters following a material acquisition;
requires the fixed-charge ratio, as defined, to be 1.5:1 or greater
limits the ratio of cash dividend payments to Nareit FFO, as defined, to 95%;
limits the ratio of unsecured debt to unencumbered total asset value, as defined, to 60% or less with a surge to 65% for a period of four consecutive fiscal quarters following a material acquisition;
requires the unencumbered NOI to interest expense ratio, as defined, to be 1.75:1 or greater; and
if we were to lose our investment grade rating in the future, the current tangible net worth will be required to exceed the minimum tangible net worth, as defined, at that time.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES
Our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K, originally filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021, contains a description of our critical accounting policies and estimates, including those relating to real estate acquisitions, rental income, and the valuation of real estate assets. There have been no significant changes to our critical accounting policies during 2021.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We utilize interest rate swaps in order to hedge a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. We do not intend to enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Our hedging decisions are determined based upon the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge and may differ from our currently anticipated hedging strategy. Because we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we may be exposed to both credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
As of June 30, 2021, we had five interest rate swaps that fixed LIBOR on $930 million of our unsecured term loan facilities. In July 2021, we paid down $375 million in unsecured term loan debt using proceeds from our underwritten IPO. Taking into effect our pay down of this unsecured term loan as if such pay down occurred on June 30, 2021 (“as adjusted”), we had not








PHILLIPS EDISON & COMPANY
JUNE 30, 2021 FORM 10-Q

Table of Contents
fixed the interest rate on $325 million of our unsecured debt through derivative financial instruments. Further, as of June 30, 2021, we estimate that a one percentage point increase in interest rates on the outstanding balance of our variable rate debt (as adjusted) would result in approximately $3.3 million of additional interest expense annually.
The additional interest expense was determined based on the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost and assumes no changes in our capital structure, other than the effect of the unsecured term loan pay down as described above. For further discussion of certain quantitative details related to our interest rate swaps, see Note 7.
See “Part II, Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K originally filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021 for more details associated with our exposure to credit risk and market risk.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) as of June 30, 2021. Based on that evaluation, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Exchange Act) were effective as of June 30, 2021.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the quarter ended June 30, 2021, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

w PART II OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
From time to time, we are party to legal proceedings, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently involved in any legal proceedings for which we are not covered by our liability insurance or the outcome is reasonably likely to have a material impact on our results of operations or financial condition, nor are we aware of any such legal proceedings contemplated by governmental authorities.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
The following risk factor supplements the risk factors set forth in our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 12, 2021. Except to the extent updated below or previously updated, or to the extent additional factual information disclosed elsewhere in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relates to such risk factors (including, without limitation, the matters discussed in “Part I, Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations”), there were no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in “Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors” of our 2020 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 12, 2021.
The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has had, and is expected to continue to have, a negative effect on our and our Neighbors’ businesses, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, and liquidity.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared COVID-19 a global pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and is expected to continue to cause, significant disruptions to the United States and global economy and has contributed to significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the outbreak is continually evolving and, as additional cases of the virus are identified, many countries, including the United States, reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, and/or mandatory closures of businesses. Certain states and cities, including where our properties are located, also reacted by instituting quarantines, restrictions on travel, “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” rules, restrictions on types of businesses that may continue to operate, and/or restrictions on the types of construction projects that may continue. In May 2020, many state and local governments began lifting, in whole or in part, the “stay-at-home” mandates, effectively removing or lessening the limitations on travel and allowing many businesses to reopen in full or limited capacity.
The COVID-19 pandemic has impacted our business and financial performance, and we expect this impact to continue. Our retail and service-based tenants (whom we refer to as a “Neighbor” or our “Neighbors”) depend on in-person interactions with their customers to generate unit-level profitability, and the COVID-19 pandemic has decreased, and may continue to decrease, customers’ willingness to frequent, and mandated “shelter-in-place” or “stay-at-home” orders may prevent customers from frequenting our Neighbors’ businesses, which may result in their inability to maintain profitability and make timely rental payments to us under their leases or to otherwise seek lease modifications or to declare bankruptcy. At the peak of the pandemic-related closure activity, for our wholly-owned properties and those owned through our joint ventures, our temporary closures reached approximately 37% of all Neighbor spaces, totaling 27% of our annualized base rent (“ABR”) and 22% of our gross leasable area (“GLA”). All temporarily closed Neighbors have since been permitted to reopen; however, there are

continuing economic impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic which could result in future store closures or could reduce the demand for leasing space in our shopping centers.
While most of our Neighbors have reopened, we cannot presently determine how many of the Neighbors that remain closed will reopen, or whether a portion of those that have reopened will be required by government mandates to temporarily close again or will encounter financial difficulties that require them to close permanently. We believe substantially all Neighbors, including those that were required to temporarily close under governmental mandates, are contractually obligated to continue with their rent payments as documented in our lease agreements with them. However, we believe it is best to begin negotiation of relief only once a Neighbor has reopened and made payments toward rent and recovery charges accrued. Inclusive of our prorated share of properties owned through our joint ventures, as of July 20, 2021, we have $5.3 million of outstanding payment plans with our Neighbors, and we had recorded rent abatements of approximately $0.7 million during 2021. These payment plans and rent abatements represented approximately 2.0% and 0.3% of portfolio rental income for the six months ended June 30, 2021, respectively. As of July 20, 2021, approximately 54% of payments are scheduled to be received by December 31, 2021 for all executed payment plans, and the weighted-average term over which we expect to receive remaining amounts owed on executed payment plans is approximately twelve months. We are still actively pursuing past due amounts under the terms negotiated with our Neighbors. We are in negotiations with additional Neighbors, which we believe will lead to more Neighbors repaying their past due charges. As of July 20, 2021, we have collected approximately 95% of rent and recoveries billed during the second through fourth quarters of 2020, and approximately 98% of rent and recoveries billed during the first and second quarters of 2021. In the event of any default by a Neighbor under its lease agreement or relief agreement, we may not be able to fully recover, and/or may experience delays in recovering and additional costs in enforcing our rights as landlord to recover, amounts due to us under the terms of the lease agreement and/or relief agreement.
Moreover, the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, restrictions intended to prevent and mitigate its spread, resulting consumer behavior, and the economic slowdown or recession could have additional adverse effects on our business, including with regards to:
the ability and willingness of our Neighbors to renew their leases upon expiration, our ability to re-lease the properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we exercise our right to replace an existing Neighbor, and obligations we may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing Neighbor, particularly in light of the adverse impact to the financial health of many retailers and service providers that has occurred and continues to occur as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and the significant uncertainty as to when and the conditions under which certain potential Neighbors will be able to operate physical retail locations in the future;
a potential sustained or permanent increase in online shopping instead of shopping at physical retail properties, thereby reducing demand for space in our shopping centers and possible related reductions in rent or increased costs to lease space;
the adverse impact of current economic conditions on the market value of our real estate portfolio and our third-party investment management business, and consequently on the estimated value per share of our common stock;
the adverse impact of the current economic conditions on our ability to effect a liquidity event at an attractive price or at all in the near term and for a potentially lengthy period of time;
the financial impact and continued economic uncertainty that could continue to negatively impact our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and/or to repurchase shares;
to the extent we were seeking to sell properties in the near term, significantly greater uncertainty regarding our ability to do so at attractive prices or at all;
anticipated returns from development and redevelopment projects, which have been prioritized to support the reopening of our Neighbors and new leasing activity, or deferred if possible;
the broader impact of the severe economic contraction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the resulting increase in unemployment that has occurred in the short-term and its effect on consumer behavior, and negative consequences that will occur if these trends are not reversed in a timely way;
state, local, or industry-initiated efforts, such as a rent freeze for Neighbors or a suspension of a landlord’s ability to enforce evictions, which may affect our ability to collect rent or enforce remedies for the failure to pay rent;
severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions, which could make it difficult for us to access debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and impact our ability to fund business operations and activities and repay liabilities on a timely basis;
our ability to pay down, refinance, restructure, or extend our indebtedness as it becomes due, and our potential inability to comply with the financial covenants of our credit facility and other debt agreements, which could result in a default and potential acceleration of indebtedness and impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our credit facility or otherwise in the future; and
the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of them and/or key personnel are impacted, and the potential impact of adaptations to our operations in order to protect our personnel, such as remote work arrangements, could introduce operational risk, including but not limited to cybersecurity risks, and could impair our ability to manage our business.
We may in the future choose to pay distributions in shares of our common stock rather than solely in cash, which may result in our stockholders having a tax liability with respect to such distributions that exceeds the amount of cash received, if any.

While the rapid developments regarding the COVID-19 pandemic preclude any prediction as to its ultimate adverse impact, the current economic, political, and social environment presents material risks and uncertainties with respect to our and our Neighbors’ business, financial condition, results of operations, cash flows, liquidity, and ability to satisfy debt service obligations. Moreover, to the extent any of these risks and uncertainties adversely impact us in the ways described above or otherwise, they may also have the effect of heightening many of the other risks described under the section entitled “Item 1A. Risk Factors” in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Actual incremental yields for our development and redevelopment projects may vary from our underwritten incremental yield range.
As part of our standard development and redevelopment underwriting process, we analyze the yield for each project and establish a range of target yields (“underwritten incremental yields”). Underwritten incremental yields reflect the yield we target to generate from each project upon expected stabilization and are calculated as the estimated incremental NOI for a project at stabilization divided by its estimated net project investment. The estimated incremental NOI is the difference between the estimated annualized NOI we target to generate from a project upon stabilization and the estimated annualized NOI without the planned improvements. Underwritten incremental yield does not include peripheral impacts, such as lease rollover risk or the impact on the long term value of the property upon sale or disposition.
Underwritten incremental yields are based solely on our estimates, using data available to us in our development and redevelopment underwriting processes. The actual total cost to complete a development or redevelopment project may differ substantially from our estimates due to various factors, including unanticipated expenses, delays in the estimated start and/or completion date of planned development projects, effects of the COVID-19 pandemic, and other contingencies. In addition, the actual incremental NOI from our planned development and redevelopment activities may differ substantially from our estimates based on numerous other factors, including delays and/or difficulties in leasing and stabilizing a development or redevelopment project, failure to obtain estimated occupancy and rental rates, inability to collect anticipated rental revenues, Neighbor bankruptcies, and unanticipated expenses that we cannot pass on to our Neighbors. Actual incremental yields may vary from our underwritten incremental yield range based on the actual total cost to complete a project and its incremental NOI at stabilization.
We and our consolidated subsidiary, Phillips Edison Grocery Center Operating Partnership I, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), entered into tax protection agreements with certain protected partners, which may limit the Operating Partnership’s ability to sell or otherwise dispose of certain shopping centers and may require the Operating Partnership to maintain certain debt levels that otherwise would not be required to operate its business.
We and the Operating Partnership entered into a tax protection agreement on October 4, 2017 (the “2017 TPA”) with, among others, Jeffrey S. Edison, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and certain entities controlled by him at the closing of a transaction in May 2017 pursuant to which we internalized our management structure through the acquisition of certain real estate assets and the third party investment management business of Phillips Edison Limited Partnership in exchange for ownership units of the Operating Partnership (“OP units”) and cash. Pursuant to the 2017 TPA, if the Operating Partnership: (i) sells, exchanges, transfers or otherwise disposes of certain shopping centers in a taxable transaction, or undertakes any taxable merger, combination, consolidation or similar transaction (including a transfer of all or substantially all assets), for a period of ten years commencing on October 4, 2017; or (ii) fails, prior to the expiration of such period, to maintain certain minimum levels of indebtedness that would be allocable to each protected partner for tax purposes or, under certain circumstances, fails to offer such protected partners the opportunity to guarantee certain types of the Operating Partnership’s indebtedness, then the Operating Partnership will indemnify each affected protected partner, including Mr. Edison, against certain resulting tax liabilities. Our tax indemnification obligations include a tax gross-up. As of June 30, 2021, 36 of our 272 wholly-owned properties, comprising approximately 11.4% of our ABR, are subject to the protection described in clause (i) above, and the potential “make-whole amount” on the estimated aggregate amount of built-in gain subject to such protection is approximately $152.6 million.
We and the Operating Partnership entered into an additional tax protection agreement (the “2021 TPA”) on July 19, 2021 with Mr. Edison; Devin I. Murphy, our President; and Robert F. Myers, our Chief Operating Officer and Executive Vice President, which will become effective upon the expiration of the 2017 TPA. The 2021 TPA generally has the following terms: (i) the 2021 TPA will severally provide to Mr. Edison, Mr. Murphy and Mr. Myers the same protection provided under the 2017 TPA until 2031, so long as (a) Mr. Edison, Mr. Murphy or Mr. Myers (or their permitted transferees), as applicable, individually owns at least 65% of the OP units owned by him as of the date of the execution of the 2021 TPA and (b) in the case of Mr. Murphy or Mr. Myers, Mr. Edison individually owns at least 65% of the OP units owned by him as of the date of the execution of the 2021 TPA; and (ii) the 2021 TPA will provide that following the expiration of the four-year tax protection period under the 2021 TPA, for so long as Mr. Edison holds at least $5.0 million in value of OP units, (a) Mr. Edison will have the opportunity to guarantee debt of the Operating Partnership or enter into a “deficit restoration” obligation, and (b) the Operating Partnership will provide reasonable notice to Mr. Edison before effecting a significant transaction reasonably likely to result in the recognition of more than one-third of the built-in gain allocated to Mr. Edison that is protected under the 2017 TPA as of the date that the 2021 TPA is executed, and will consider in good faith any proposal made by Mr. Edison relating to structuring such transaction in a manner to avoid or mitigate adverse tax consequences to him.
Therefore, although it may be in our stockholders’ best interest for us to cause the Operating Partnership to sell, exchange, transfer or otherwise dispose of one or more of these shopping centers, it may be economically prohibitive for us to do so until the expiration of the applicable protection period because of these indemnity obligations. Moreover, these obligations may require us to cause the Operating Partnership to maintain more or different indebtedness than we would otherwise require for our business. As a result, the tax protection agreements could, during their term, restrict our ability to take actions or make decisions that otherwise would be in our best interests.
