EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Regency Centers Corporation” or the “Parent Company” mean Regency Centers Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries; and references to “Regency Centers, L.P.” or the “Operating Partnership” mean Regency Centers, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries. The term “the Company” or “Regency” means the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.
The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units (“Units”). As of September 30, 2014, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.8% of the Units in the Operating Partnership and the remaining limited Units are owned by investors. The Parent Company owns all of the Series 6 and 7 Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management.
The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
• | enhances investors' understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business; |
• | eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation; and |
• | creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports. |
Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same individuals as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of the Parent Company and employees of the Operating Partnership.
The Company believes it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company does not hold any indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured public debt and approximately 0% of the secured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all the assets of the Company and retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business. These sources include the Operating Partnership's operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.
Stockholders' equity, partners' capital, and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units, and Series 6 and 7 Preferred Units owned by the Parent Company. The limited partners' units in the Operating Partnership owned by third parties are accounted for in partners' capital in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and outside of stockholders' equity in noncontrolling interests in the Parent Company's financial statements. The Series 6 and 7 Preferred Units owned by the Parent Company are eliminated in consolidation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and are classified as preferred units of general partner in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership.
In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements, controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.
As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while stockholders' equity and partners' capital differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

1. | Organization and Principles of Consolidation |
General
Regency Centers Corporation (the “Parent Company”) began its operations as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) in 1993 and is the general partner of Regency Centers, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Parent Company currently owns approximately 99.8% of the outstanding common Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, and development of retail shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2014, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the "Company” or “Regency”) directly owned 205 retail shopping centers and held partial interests in an additional 121 retail shopping centers through investments in real estate partnerships (also referred to as "joint ventures" or "co-investment partnerships").
The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature.
Accounting Policies
Securities
The Company determines the appropriate classification of its investments in debt and equity securities at the time of purchase and reevaluates such determinations at each balance sheet date. Debt securities are classified as held to maturity when the Company has the positive intent and ability to hold the securities to maturity. Marketable securities that are bought and held principally for the purpose of selling them in the near term are classified as trading securities and are reported at fair value, with unrealized gains and losses recognized in earnings. Debt and marketable equity securities not classified as held to maturity or as trading, are classified as available-for-sale, and are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses, net of tax, included in the determination of comprehensive income and reported in the Consolidated Statements of Equity and Capital. The fair value of securities is determined using quoted market prices.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In July 2013, the FASB issued updated guidance that resolves the diversity in practice for the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This new accounting guidance requires the netting of unrecognized tax benefits against a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward that would apply in settlement of an uncertain tax position. The guidance was effective as of the first quarter of 2014 and its adoption did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial positions.
On January 1, 2014, the Company prospectively adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, and all sales will be recorded in accordance with the ASU. The amendments in the ASU change the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under the new guidance, only disposals representing a strategic shift in operations should be presented as discontinued operations. Those strategic shifts should have a major effect on the organization's operations and financial results. In addition, the new guidance requires expanded disclosures about discontinued operations that will provide financial statement users with more information about the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses of discontinued operations.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in U.S. GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effective for the Company on January 1, 2017. Early adoption is not permitted. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or

cumulative effect transition method. The Company is evaluating the effect that ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

(1) On March 7, 2014, the Company acquired an 80% controlling interest in the Fairfield Portfolio and paid $56.6 million for its pro-rata share of the acquisition, net of debt and other liabilities assumed. As a result of consolidation, the Company recorded the non-controlling interest of approximately $15.4 million at fair value. The portfolio consists of three operating properties located in Fairfield, CT.
In addition, on March 20, 2013, the Company entered into a liquidation agreement with Macquarie Countrywide (US) No. 2, LLC ("CQR") to redeem its 24.95% interest through dissolution of the Macquarie CountryWide-Regency III, LLC (MCWR III) co-investment partnership through a distribution-in-kind ("DIK"). The assets of the partnership were distributed as 100% ownership interests to CQR and Regency after a selection process, as provided for by the agreement. Regency selected one asset, Hilltop Village, which was recorded at the carrying value of the Company's equity investment in MCWR III, net of deferred gain, on the date of dissolution of $7.6 million, including a $7.5 million mortgage assumed.
The real estate operations acquired are not considered material to Company, individually or in the aggregate.

(1) Represents the date specified in the agreement for either optional or mandatory early termination which will result in cash settlement.
(2) The Company issued $250 million of 3.75%, fixed rate ten year unsecured bonds in May 2014. Prior to issuing the bonds, the Company locked in the ten year treasury rate using forward starting interest rate swaps to mitigate the risk of interest rates rising. In connection with the issuance of the new bonds, the Company terminated and settled these swaps, resulting in net cash proceeds of $4.6 million. These proceeds will offset bond interest expense over the life of the bonds, resulting in a lower effective interest rate of 3.59%.
(3) Derivatives in an asset position are included within Other Assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, while those in a liability position are included within Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities.
These derivative financial instruments are all interest rate swaps, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. The Company has master netting agreements; however, the Company does not have multiple derivatives subject to a single master netting agreement with the same counterparties. Therefore, none are offset in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company expects to issue new debt in 2015 and 2017. In order to mitigate the risk of interest rates rising before new borrowings are obtained, the Company has $220 million of forward starting interest rate swaps to partially hedge the new debt expected to be issued in 2015 and another $220 million of forward starting interest rate swaps to partially hedge the new debt expected to be issued in 2017. These interest rate swaps lock in the 10-year treasury rate and swap spread at a weighted average fixed rate of 2.67% and 3.48%, respectively. A current market based credit spread applicable to Regency will be added to the locked in fixed rate at time of issuance that will determine the final bond yield.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period

that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings within interest expense.

8. Fair Value Measurements
(a) Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management's estimation, reasonably approximate their fair values, except for the following as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):
2014 | 2013 | |||||||||||
Carrying Amount | Fair Value | Carrying Amount | Fair Value | |||||||||

Unsecured credit facilities | $ | 75,000 | 75,000 | $ | 75,000 | 75,400 |
The table above reflects carrying amounts in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets under the indicated captions. The above fair values represent the amounts that would be received from selling those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. These fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company develops its judgments based on the best information available at the measurement date, including expected cash flows, appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates, and available observable and unobservable inputs. Service providers involved in fair value measurements are evaluated for competency and qualifications on an ongoing basis. The Company's valuation policies and procedures are determined by its Finance Group, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, and the results of material fair value measurements are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. As considerable judgment is often necessary to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments, the fair values presented above are not necessarily indicative of amounts that will be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.
The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments:
Notes Receivable
The fair value of the Company's notes receivable is estimated by calculating the present value of future contractual cash flows discounted at interest rates available for notes of the same terms and maturities, adjusted for counter-party specific credit risk. The fair value of notes receivable was determined primarily using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, which considered counter-party credit risk and loan to value ratio on the underlying property securing the note receivable.
Notes Payable
The fair value of the Company's notes payable is estimated by discounting future cash flows of each instrument at rates that reflect the current market rates available to the Company for debt of the same terms and maturities. Fixed rate loans assumed in connection with real estate acquisitions are recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at fair value at the time the property is acquired. The fair value of the notes payable was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

Unsecured Credit Facilities
The fair value of the Company's unsecured credit facilities is estimated based on the interest rates currently offered to the Company by financial institutions. The fair value of the credit facilities was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the following interest rate ranges were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments:
2014 | 2013 | |||||||
Low | High | Low | High | |||||
Notes receivable | 7.4% | 7.4% | 7.8% | 7.8% | ||||
Notes payable | 0.9% | 3.8% | 3.0% | 3.5% | ||||
Unsecured credit facilities | 1.3% | 1.3% | 1.4% | 1.4% |
(b) Fair Value Measurements
The following financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Trading Securities Held in Trust
The Company has investments in marketable securities, which are assets of the non-qualified deferred compensation plan ("NQDCP"), that are classified as trading securities held in trust on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the trading securities held in trust was determined using quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the value of trading securities are recorded within net investment (income) loss from deferred compensation plan in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Available-for-Sale Securities
Available-for-sale securities consist of investments in shares of marketable equity securities, and are recorded at fair value using quoted prices in an active market, which are considered Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains or losses on these securities are recognized through other comprehensive income.
Interest Rate Derivatives
The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives 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 Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate swaps. As a result, the Company determined that its interest rate swaps valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Long-lived assets held and used are comprised primarily of real estate. Fair value for the long-lived assets held and used measured using Level 3 inputs was determined through the use of an income approach. The income approach estimates an income stream for a property (typically 10 years) and discounts this income plus a reversion (presumed sale) into a present value at a risk adjusted rate. Yield rates and growth assumptions utilized in this approach are derived from property specific information, market transactions, and other financial and industry data. The terminal cap rate and discount rate are significant inputs to this valuation.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized a $225,000 impairment on three parcels of land. The fair value of real estate measured during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, is based on the anticipated sales price of the land.
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company recognized a $6 million impairment on a single operating property as a result of an unoccupied anchor declaring bankruptcy, and the inability of the Company, at that time, to re-lease the anchor space. The following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of real estate measured using Level 3 inputs during the year ended December 31, 2013:
2013 | ||
Direct cap rates | 8.0% | |
Rental growth rates | 0.0% | |
Discount rates | 9.0% | |
Terminal cap rates | 8.5% |
Changes in these inputs could result in a significant change in the valuation of the real estate and a change in the impairment loss recognized during the period.

13. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in litigation on a number of matters and is subject to certain claims, which arise in the normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
The Company is also subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to real estate pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations; however, it can give no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to the shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental liabilities; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to it; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.
The Company has the right to issue letters of credit under the Line up to an amount not to exceed $80.0 million, which reduces the credit availability under the Line. The Company also has stand alone letters of credit with other banks. These letters of credit are primarily issued as collateral to facilitate the construction of development projects. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had $5.9 million and $19.3 million letters of credit outstanding, respectively.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
In addition to historical information, the following information contains forward-looking statements as defined under federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements about anticipated changes in our revenues, the size of our development and redevelopment program, earnings per share and unit, returns and portfolio value, and expectations about our liquidity. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the real estate industry and markets in which the Company operates, and management's beliefs and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in national and local economic conditions; financial difficulties of tenants; competitive market conditions, including timing and pricing of acquisitions and sales of properties and building pads ("out-parcels"); changes in leasing activity and market rents; timing of development starts; meeting development schedules; natural disasters in geographic areas in which we operate; cost of environmental remediation; our inability to exercise voting control over the co-investment partnerships through which we own many of our properties; technology disruptions. For additional information, see “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. appearing elsewhere herein. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or uncertainties after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of uncertain events.
Overview of Our Strategy
Regency Centers Corporation began its operations as a REIT in 1993 and is the managing general partner of Regency Centers, L.P. We endeavor to be a preeminent, best-in-class grocery-anchored shopping center company, distinguished by total shareholder return and per share growth in Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") and Net Asset Value ("NAV"). We work to achieve these goals through:
• | reliable growth in net operating income ("NOI") from a high-quality, growing portfolio of thriving, neighborhood and community shopping centers; |
• | disciplined value-add development and redevelopment activities that profitably create and enhance high-quality shopping centers; |
• | a conservative balance sheet and track record of accessing capital in a cost effective manner to withstand market volatility and to efficiently fund investments; and, |
• | an engaged and talented team of people reflecting our culture. |
All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through the Operating Partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through its co-investment partnerships. The Parent Company currently owns approximately 99.8% of the outstanding common partnership units of the Operating Partnership.
As of September 30, 2014, we directly owned 205 shopping centers (the “Consolidated Properties”) located in 24 states representing 23.2 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). Through co-investment partnerships, we own partial ownership interests in 121 shopping centers (the “Unconsolidated Properties”) located in 22 states and the District of Columbia representing 15.1 million square feet of GLA.
We earn revenues and generate cash flow by leasing space in our shopping centers to grocery stores, major retail anchors, restaurants, side-shop retailers, and service providers, as well as ground leasing or selling building pads to these same types of tenants. We experience growth in revenues by increasing occupancy and rental rates in our existing shopping centers and by acquiring and developing new shopping centers. As of September 30, 2014, our Consolidated Properties were 95.2% leased, as compared to 94.4% as of September 30, 2013 and 94.5% as of December 31, 2013.
We grow our shopping center portfolio through acquisitions of operating centers and new shopping center development. We will continue to use our development capabilities, market presence, and anchor relationships to invest in value-added new developments and redevelopments of existing centers. Development serves the growth needs of our anchors and retailers, resulting in high-quality shopping centers with long-term anchor leases that produce attractive returns on our invested capital, and we generally have an executed lease from the anchor tenant before we start construction. The development process typically requires two to three years once construction has commenced, but can vary subject to the size and complexity of the project. We fund our acquisition and development activity from various capital sources including property sales, equity offerings, and new debt.
30
Co-investment partnerships provide us with an additional capital source for shopping center acquisitions, developments, and redevelopments, as well as the opportunity to earn fees for asset management, property management, and other investing and financing services. As an asset manager, we are engaged by our partners to apply similar operating, investment, and capital strategies to the portfolios owned by the co-investment partnerships as those applied to the portfolio that we wholly-own.

Leasing activity remains strong in 2014 with pro-rata occupancy gains of 130 basis points in our shop space category (less than 10,000 square feet) compared to December 31, 2013. We believe our high-quality, grocery anchored shopping centers located in densely populated, desirable infill trade areas create attractive spaces for retail tenants. Improvements in the economy, combined with historically low levels of new supply and robust tenant demand, allow us to focus on merchandising of our centers to ensure the right mix of operators and unique retailers, which draws more retail customers to our centers.

New leases - In the greater than or equal to 10,000 SFT category, base rent PSF remained constant in 2014. In the under 10,000 SFT category, base rent PSF continued to increase on new leases executed in 2014 .
Renewals - The base rent PSF for 2014 renewals declined over 2013 primarily due to tenants exercising pre-negotiated options, while market rate renewals have increased.

We seek to reduce our operating and leasing risks through geographic diversification and by avoiding dependence on any single property, market, or tenant. The following table summarizes our three most significant tenants, each of which is a grocery tenant, occupying our shopping centers at September 30, 2014:
Grocery Anchor | Number of Stores (1) | Percentage of Company- owned GLA (2) | Percentage of Annualized Base Rent (2) | |||
Kroger | 55 | 8.5% | 4.5% | |||
Publix | 47 | 6.5% | 3.9% | |||
Safeway | 45 | 4.3% | 2.4% | |||
(1) Includes stores owned by grocery anchors that are attached to our centers. | ||||||
(2) Includes Regency's pro-rata share of Unconsolidated Properties and excludes those owned by anchors. |
Although base rent is supported by long-term lease contracts, tenants who file bankruptcy may have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close related stores. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our shopping centers files bankruptcy and cancels its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues. We monitor the operating performance and rent collections of all tenants in our shopping centers, especially those tenants operating retail formats that are experiencing significant changes in competition, business practice, and store closings in other locations.
Our management team devotes significant time to monitoring consumer preferences, shopping behaviors, and demographics to anticipate both challenges and opportunities in the changing retail industry that may affect our tenants. As a result of our findings, we may reduce new leasing, suspend leasing, or curtail the allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements within a certain retail category or to a specific retailer. We are not currently aware of the pending bankruptcy or announced store closings of any tenants in our shopping centers that would individually cause a material reduction in our revenues, and no tenant represents more than 5% of our annual base rent on a pro-rata basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our Parent Company has no capital commitments other than its guarantees of the commitments of our Operating Partnership. The Parent Company will from time to time access the capital markets for the purpose of issuing new equity and will simultaneously contribute all of the offering proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional partnership units. All debt is issued by our Operating Partnership or by our co-investment partnerships.

Total cash and cash equivalents | $ | 100,708 | 62,702 | 38,006 |
Net cash provided by operating activities:
Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was $17.2 million more than the nine months ended September 30, 2013 due to:
• | $4.6 million received upon settlement of the treasury hedges in May 2014 in connection with our bond issuance; |
• | $14.6 million increase in cash from operating income; and, |
• | $2.8 million net increase in cash due to timing of cash receipts and payments related to operating activities; offset by |
• | $4.8 million decrease in operating cash flow distributions from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships due to liquidating three partnerships and reinvesting cash in another. |
34
We operate our business such that we expect net cash provided by operating activities will provide the necessary funds to pay our distributions to our common and preferred share and unit holders, which were $145.1 million and $141.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Our dividend distribution policy is set by our Board of Directors who monitor our financial position. Our Board of Directors recently declared our common stock quarterly dividend of $0.47 per share, payable on December 3, 2014. Future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be subject to capital requirements and availability. We plan to continue paying an aggregate amount of distributions to our stock and unit holders that, at a minimum, meet the requirements to continue qualifying as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes.
Net cash used in investing activities:
Net cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 increased by $155.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to the 2014 acquisitions of shopping centers and lower 2014 proceeds on sales of real estate.
Significant investing and divesting activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 include:
• | We received proceeds of $62.8 million from the sale of real estate investments, including six shopping centers and five out-parcels; |
• | We paid $98.0 million, net of debt assumed, other liabilities and non-controlling interest, for the acquisition of the 80% controlling interest in three shopping centers located in Fairfield, CT; one wholly-owned shopping center located in Austin, TX; and one wholly-owned shopping center located in Chicago, IL; |
• | We received $24.8 million of distributions from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships from real estate sales proceeds and $5.1 million from the refinancing of a loan at one unconsolidated real estate partnership; |
• | We paid $14.4 million for the acquisition of 834,091 shares of common stock in AmREIT. |
• | We paid $160.6 million for the development, redevelopment, improvement and leasing of our real estate properties as comprised of the following (in thousands): |

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we acquired four land parcels for new development projects for $26.7 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we paid $17.4 million for three land parcels and began development projects on them.
Building improvements and other costs decreased $4.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily related to timing of capital projects and renovations.
Redevelopment costs were higher during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 due to an increase in the number and magnitude of redevelopments.
At September 30, 2014, we had eight development projects that were either under construction or in lease up, compared to six such development projects at December 31, 2013. Our capital expenditures on development projects were lower during 2014 due to the size of and progress on developments in 2013. During the nine months ended
35
September 30, 2013, we incurred significant capital expenditures towards two large development projects that were completed by December 31, 2013.
Capitalized interest increases as development and redevelopment costs accumulate during the construction period, which is why more interest costs were capitalized during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013.
Capitalized direct compensation represents overhead costs of our development and construction team directly related to the development projects, with the majority of capitalizable direct compensation costs incurred at or near inception of a development project. The number of projects starting in 2014 as compared to 2013 resulted in the increase in capitalized compensation costs noted above.

We plan to continue developing and redeveloping projects for long-term investment purposes and have a staff of employees who directly support our development and redevelopment program. Internal costs attributable to these development and redevelopment activities are capitalized as part of each project. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we capitalized $5.2 million of interest expense and $8.1 million of internal costs for salaries and related benefits for development and redevelopment activity. Changes in the level of future development and redevelopment activity could adversely impact results of operations by reducing the amount of internal costs for development and redevelopment projects that may be capitalized. A 10% reduction in development and redevelopment activity without a corresponding reduction in the compensation costs directly related to our development and redevelopment activities could result in an additional charge to net income of approximately $1.1 million per annum.
36
Net cash used in financing activities:
Net cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 decreased by $118.3 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, primarily due to 2014 proceeds from the net issuance of unsecured notes and net repayments on the Line, offset by a decrease in stock proceeds.
Significant financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 include:
• | The Parent Company issued approximately 872,000 shares of common stock through our ATM program, resulting in net proceeds of $49.3 million which were used to fund investing activities; |
• | In April 2014, we repaid $150 million of 4.95% ten-year unsecured public debt at maturity. |
• | In May 2014, we issued $250 million of new 3.75% ten-year unsecured public debt which matures in June 2024. In connection with the bond offering, we settled the previously locked forward starting interest rate swaps, receiving net cash proceeds of $4.6 million. These proceeds will offset bond interest expense over the life of the bonds, resulting in a lower effective interest rate of 3.59%; and, |
• | We paid dividends to our common and preferred stockholders of $129.3 million and $15.8 million, respectively. |
In 2013, the Parent Company issued 1.9 million shares of common stock through our ATM program resulting in net proceeds of $99.8 million, which were used to fund investment activities.
We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. At September 30, 2014, 76.0% of our wholly-owned real estate assets were unencumbered. Such assets allow us to access the secured and unsecured debt markets and to maintain significant availability on the Line. Our coverage ratio, including our pro-rata share of our partnerships, was 2.5 times and 2.4 times for the trailing four quarters ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We define our coverage ratio as earnings before interest, taxes, investment transaction profits net of deal costs, depreciation and amortization (“Core EBITDA”) divided by the sum of the gross interest and scheduled mortgage principal paid to our lenders plus dividends paid to our preferred stockholders.
Through 2015, we estimate that we will require approximately $702.4 million, including $238.5 million for in process developments and redevelopments, $425.9 million to repay maturing debt, and $37.9 million to fund our pro-rata share of estimated capital contributions to our co-investment partnerships for repayment of debt. If we start new developments or redevelop additional shopping centers, our cash requirements will increase. If we refinance maturing debt, our cash requirements will decrease.
To meet our cash requirements, we will utilize cash generated from operations, borrowings from our Line, proceeds from the sale of real estate, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of common equity and the issuance of debt. Our Line, Term Loan, and unsecured loans require we remain in compliance with various covenants, which are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. We were in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2014 and expect to remain in compliance.
We continuously monitor the capital markets and evaluate our ability to issue new debt to repay maturing debt or fund our commitments. Based upon the current capital markets, our current credit ratings, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties that we own which could collateralize borrowings, we expect that we could successfully issue new secured or unsecured debt to fund our obligations, as needed.
We have $350.0 million of fixed rate, unsecured debt maturing in August 2015 and $400.0 million of fixed rate, unsecured debt maturing in June 2017. In order to mitigate the risk of interest rate volatility, we have $220.0 million of forward starting interest rate swaps to partially hedge the new debt expected to be issued in 2015 and an additional $220.0 million of forward starting interest rate swaps to partially hedge the new debt expected to be issued in 2017. These interest rate swaps lock in the 10-year treasury rate and swap spread at a weighted average fixed rate of 2.67% and 3.48%, respectively. A current market based credit spread applicable to Regency will be added to the locked in fixed rate at time of issuance that will determine the final bond yield.

Investments in real estate partnerships are comprised of co-investment partnerships, as further summarized below. In addition to earning our pro-rata share of net income or loss in each of these co-investment partnerships, we receive recurring market-based fees for asset management, property management, and leasing as well as fees for investment and financing services, which were $5.3 million and $5.6 million, and $17.5 million and $18.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Notes Payable - Investments in Real Estate Partnerships
At September 30, 2014, our investments in real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.5 billion maturing through 2024, of which 99.2% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 5.4%, and the remaining notes payable float over LIBOR and had a weighted average variable interest rate of 2.0%. These loans are all non-recourse, and our pro-rata share was $525.2 million. Maturities will be repaid from proceeds from refinancing and partner capital contributions. We are obligated to contribute our pro-rata share to fund maturities if they are not refinanced. We believe that our partners are financially sound and have sufficient capital or access thereto to fund future capital requirements. In the event that a co-investment partner was unable to fund its share of the capital requirements of the co-investment partnership, we would have the right, but not the obligation, to loan the defaulting partner the amount of its capital call.
As of September 30, 2014, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable held by our investments in real estate partnerships were as follows (in thousands):

Total revenues | $ | 133,559 | 120,318 | 13,241 |
Minimum rent increased during 2014 as compared to 2013 due to acquisitions, new development operations, and changes in occupancy and average base rent for our same properties, as follows:
• | $7.8 million increase due to the acquisitions of operating properties and operations beginning at development properties; |
• | $2.5 million increase in minimum rent from same properties, which was driven by rental rate and occupancy growth and increases from contractual rent steps in existing leases. We also began to experience the benefits to minimum rent from redeveloping certain shopping centers in 2013 and 2014; |
• | These increases were offset by a $427,000 decrease from operating properties sold in 2014 that no longer are reported as discontinued operations. |
Recoveries from tenants and other income represent reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of the operating, maintenance, and real estate tax expenses that we incur to operate our shopping centers, as well as other income earned at our operating properties. Recoveries from tenants increased during 2014 as compared to 2013 due to the following:
• | $1.9 million increase due to the acquisition of operating properties and operations beginning at development properties during 2013 and 2014; and, |
• | $1.6 million increase in recoveries at same properties, which was driven primarily by an increase in occupancy and partially by an increase in recoverable costs; |
• | Offset by a $210,000 decrease from operating properties sold in 2014 that no longer are reported as discontinued operations. |
We earn fees at market-based rates for asset management, property management, leasing, acquisition, and financing services that we provided to our co-investment partnerships and third parties as follows (in thousands):

Asset and property management fees decreased due to the liquidation of one unconsolidated real estate partnership consisting of nine properties during the third quarter of 2013, partially offset by higher asset and property management fees from our other partnerships.

Depreciation and amortization increased $3.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase primarily consists of the following: $2.8 million from acquisitions and $1.4 million from new development operations, offset by a decrease of approximately $545,000 from disposals.
Operating and maintenance increased $1.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase primarily consists of the following: $753,000 from acquisitions and $591,000 from new development operations.
Real estate taxes increased $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014. The increase primarily consists of the following: $731,000 from acquisitions, $384,000 from new development operations, and $418,000 at same properties from higher assessed values, partially offset by $48,000 from sold properties.
Other operating expenses increased $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to increases in transaction costs in the third quarter of 2014 due to property acquisitions and pursuit costs.

The $7.5 million decrease in our equity in income in investments in real estate partnerships for 2014, as compared to 2013, is primarily due to:
• | $1.8 million increase from the GRIR partnership due to a $947,000 pro-rata gain recognized on the sale of one operating property during the three months ended September 30, 2014, as well as increases in base rent across the GRIR portfolio of properties; |
• | The Fund sold all of its operating properties in August 2013, resulting in $7.4 million of pro-rata gains recognized in the third quarter of 2013; |
• | $1.3 million decrease from liquidating our interest in BRET in October 2013. |

Comparison of the nine months ended September 30, 2014 to 2013:
Our revenues increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as summarized in the following table (in thousands):
2014 | 2013 | Change | |||||||

Total revenues | $ | 401,733 | 363,002 | 38,731 |
Minimum rent increased during 2014 as compared to 2013 due to acquisitions, new development operations, and changes in occupancy and average base rent for our same properties, as follows:
• | $22.6 million increase due to the acquisition of operating properties and operations beginning at development properties during 2014 and 2013; |
• | $7.0 million increase in minimum rent from same properties, which was driven by rental rate and occupancy growth and increases from contractual rent steps in existing leases. Additionally, minimum rent benefits were seen at several properties that were recently redeveloped; |
• | These increases were offset by a $577,000 decrease from operating properties sold in 2014 that no longer are reported as discontinued operations. |
Recoveries from tenants and other income represent reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of the operating, maintenance, and real estate tax expenses that we incur to operate our shopping centers, as well as other income earned at our operating properties. Recoveries from tenants increased during 2014 as compared to 2013 due to the following:
• | $4.9 million increase due to the acquisition of operating properties and operations beginning at development properties during 2014 and 2013; |
• | $6.4 million increase in recoveries at same properties, which was driven primarily by an increase in occupancy and partially by an increase in recoverable costs; |
• | Offset by a $704,000 decrease from operating properties sold in 2014 that are no longer reported as discontinued operations. |

Our operating expenses increased during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as summarized in the following table (in thousands):

Total operating expenses | $ | 262,574 | 238,617 | 23,957 |
Depreciation and amortization increased $15.4 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase primarily consists of the following: $8.1 million from acquisitions, $4.5 million from new development operations, and $3.9 million at same properties, partially offset by a decrease of $1.1 million from disposals.
Operating and maintenance increased $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase primarily consists of the following: $2.2 million from acquisitions, $1.8 million from new development operations, and $2.7 million at same properties, largely attributed to greater snow removal costs, partially offset by a decrease $36,000 from sold properties.
General and administrative decreased $4.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The decrease is primarily due to greater capitalization of development and leasing overhead costs of $3.6 million, due to increased development and leasing activity. There were four development projects started in the current year. Additionally, changes in participant obligations within the deferred compensation plan resulted in a $1.4 million decrease in expense during 2014. These savings were partially offset by $1.2 million of higher incentive compensation expense during 2014.
Real estate taxes increased $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The increase primarily consists of the following: $2.0 million from acquisitions, $1.0 million from new development operations, and $1.3 million at same properties from higher assessed values, partially offset by a decrease of $56,000 from sold properties.
Other operating expenses increased $1.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily due to increases in transaction costs in the third quarter of 2014 due to property acquisitions and pursuit costs.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized a $225,000 impairment on three parcels of land. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized a $6.0 million impairment on a single operating property as a result of an unoccupied anchor declaring bankruptcy, where we had, at that time, been unable to re-lease the anchor space.

Total interest expense | $ | 82,141 | 82,363 | (222 | ) |
Our total interest expense decreased mainly due to higher amounts of interest capitalized on development and redevelopment projects, driven by the increase in cumulative project costs over the prior year. This higher capitalized interest was partially offset by an increase in interest on notes payable, primarily driven by the $77.8 million mortgage debt assumed with the Fairfield Portfolio acquisition in the first quarter of 2014.

The $2.8 million decrease in our equity in income in investments in real estate partnerships for 2014, as compared to 2013, is largely attributed to:
• | $424,000 pro-rata share of impairment losses recognized upon sale of two properties within Columbia II; |
• | $654,000 of pro-rata gains on one operating property disposed of within RegCal; |
• | The Fund sold all of its operating properties in August 2013 for pro-rata gains of $7.4 million. The only activity in 2014 is to collect remaining receivables and make final distributions; |
• | $3.7 million decrease from liquidating our ownership interest in BRET in October 2013; and, |
• | $8.3 million increase within our Other investment partnerships driven by the gains on sale of two land parcels and one operating property. |

Supplemental Earnings Information
We use certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to the required GAAP presentations, as we believe these measures are beneficial to us in improving the understanding of the Company's operational results among the investing public. We believe such measures make comparisons of other REITs' operating results to the Company's more meaningful. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change.
The following are our definitions of Same Property Net Operating Income ("NOI"), Funds from Operations ("FFO"), and Core FFO, which we believe to be beneficial non-GAAP performance measures used in understanding our operational results:
| NOI is calculated as total property revenues (minimum rent, percentage rents, and recoveries from tenants and other income) less direct property operating expenses (operating and maintenance and real estate taxes) from the properties owned by us, and excludes corporate-level income (including management, transaction, and other fees), for the entirety of the periods presented. |
• | Pro-Rata information includes 100% of our consolidated properties plus our ownership interest in our unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships. |
• | Same Property information is provided for operating properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared and excludes all Properties in Development and Non-Same Properties. A Non-Same Property is a property acquired during either period being compared, a development completion that is less than 90% funded and 95% leased or features less than two years of anchor operations. Same Property also excludes projects in development, which represent projects owned and intended to be developed, including partially operating properties acquired specifically for redevelopment and excluding land held for future development. |
• | Same Property NOI includes NOI for Same Properties, but excludes straight-line rental income, net of reserves, above and below market rent amortization, banking charges, and other fees. Same Property NOI is a key measure used by management in evaluating the performance of our properties. |
| FFO is a commonly used measure of REIT performance, which the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable property, net of tax, excluding operating real estate impairments, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We compute FFO for all periods presented in accordance with NAREIT's definition. Many companies use different depreciable lives and methods, and real estate values historically fluctuate with market conditions. Since FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from depreciable property dispositions, and impairments, it can provide a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition and development activities, and financing costs. This provides a perspective of our financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Thus, FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore, should not be considered an alternative for cash flow as a measure of liquidity. |
• | Core FFO is an additional performance measure used by Regency as the computation of FFO includes certain non-cash and non-comparable items that affect the Company's period-over-period performance. Core FFO excludes from FFO, but is not limited to: (a) transaction related gains, income or expense; (b) impairments on land; (c) gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt; and (d) other non-core amounts as they occur. The Company provides a reconciliation of FFO to Core FFO. |

Environmental Matters
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to our shopping centers pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks. We believe that the tenants who currently operate dry cleaning plants or gas stations do so in accordance with current laws and regulations. Generally, we use all legal means to cause tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers or convert them to more environmentally friendly systems. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state-sponsored environmental programs. We have a blanket environmental insurance policy for third-party liabilities and remediation costs on shopping centers that currently have no known environmental contamination. We have also placed environmental insurance, where possible, on specific properties with known contamination, in order to mitigate our environmental risk. We monitor the shopping centers containing environmental issues and in certain cases voluntarily remediate the sites. We also have legal obligations to remediate certain sites and we are in the process of doing so. We believe that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations; however, we can give no assurance that existing environmental studies on our shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental liabilities; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to us; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to us.
Inflation/Deflation
Inflation has been historically low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, inflation may become a greater concern in the future. Substantially all of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Most of our leases require tenants to pay their pro-rata share of operating expenses, including common-area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. However, during deflationary periods or periods of economic weakness, minimum rents and percentage rents will decline as the supply of available retail space exceeds demand and consumer spending declines. Occupancy declines resulting from a weak economic period will also likely result in lower recovery rates of our operating expenses.
