EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 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 March 31, 2015, 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 14% 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.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015


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 March 31, 2015, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the "Company” or “Regency”) directly owned 201 retail shopping centers and held partial interests in an additional 120 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

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, with a potential one year deferral to be decided at the conclusion of a comment period. Early adoption is currently 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.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (Topic 810), which requires amendments to both the variable interest entity and voting models. The amendments (i) rescind the indefinite deferral of certain aspects of accounting standards relating to consolidations and provide a permanent scope exception for registered money market funds and similar unregistered money market funds, (ii) modify the identification of variable interests (fees paid to a decision maker or service provider), the VIE characteristics for a limited partnership or similar entity and primary beneficiary determination under the VIE model, and (iii) eliminate the presumption within the current voting model that a general partner controls a limited partnership or similar entity. The new guidance is effective for annual reporting periods, and interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2015 with early adoption permitted. The amendments may be applied using either a modified retrospective or full retrospective approach. The Company has not yet selected a transition method nor has it determined the effect of the standard on its ongoing financial reporting.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), which simplifies the presentation of debt issuance costs by requiring that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The amendments in this ASU are effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years with early adoption permitted. The Company will adopt this ASU in the first quarter of 2016, which will result in a decrease to total assets and liabilities of the net unamortized balance of debt issuance costs, which are $9.7 million at March 31, 2015.

⁽¹⁾ Represents the date specified in the agreement for either optional or mandatory early termination which will result in cash settlement.

⁽²⁾Derivatives in a liability position are included within Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

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 rate volatility, the Company previously entered into $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) ("AOCI") 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.

6. 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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):



	2015			2014
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
Notes receivable	$	12,169	12,049	$	12,132	11,980
Financial liabilities:
Notes payable	$	1,889,727	2,041,000	$	1,946,357	2,116,000
Unsecured credit facilities	$	105,000	105,000	$	75,000	75,000

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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. 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. 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.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015

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 March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the following interest rate ranges were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments:



	2015		2014
	Low	High	Low	High
Notes receivable	7.3%	7.3%	7.4%	7.4%
Notes payable	1.5%	3.8%	0.9%	3.4%
Unsecured credit facilities	1.3%	1.5%	1.3%	1.3%

(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.

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

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2015

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.

The following tables present the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):



	Fair Value Measurements as of March 31, 2015

In January 2015, the Parent Company entered into a forward sale and an underwritten public offering of 2.875 million shares of its common stock at a price of $67.40 per share which will result in gross proceeds of approximately $193.8 million, before any underwriting discount and offering expenses. The forward sale will settle on one or more dates occurring no later than approximately 12 months after the date of the offering. The Company intends to use any net proceeds that it receives upon settlement of the forward sale agreement to fund development and redevelopment activities, fund potential acquisition opportunities, repay maturing debts, and/or for general corporate purposes.

9. Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan ("NQDCP")

The Company maintains a NQDCP which allows select employees and directors to defer part or all of their cash bonus, director fees, and restricted stock awards. All contributions into the participants' accounts are fully vested upon contribution to the NQDCP and are deposited into a Rabbi trust. The assets of the Rabbi trust, exclusive of the shares of the Company's common stock, are classified as trading securities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and were $29.6 million and $28.1 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

11. 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. These letters of credit are primarily issued as collateral to facilitate the construction of development projects. As of March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had $5.9 million in letters of credit outstanding.

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, 2014. 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 began its operations as a publicly-traded REIT in 1993, and currently owns direct or partial interests in 321 shopping centers, the majority of which are grocery-anchored community and neighborhood centers. Our centers are located in the top markets of 27 states and the District of Columbia, and contain 38.2 million square feet of gross leasable area. 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.

Our mission is to be the preeminent grocery-anchored shopping center owner and developer through:


•	First-rate performance of our exceptionally merchandised and located national portfolio;


•	Value-enhancing services of the best team of professionals in the business;


•	Creation of superior growth in shareholder value.

Our strategic objectives are to:


•	Sustain average annual 3% same-property net operating income (“NOI”) growth from a high-quality portfolio of community and neighborhood shopping centers;


•	Develop new high quality shopping centers at attractive returns on investment from a disciplined development program;


•	Cost-effectively enhance our already strong balance sheet to reduce our cost of capital, provide financial flexibility and weather economic downturns;


•	Engage a talented and dedicated team that operates efficiently and is recognized as a leader in the real estate industry and sustainability initiatives.

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.

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. We fund our acquisition and development activity from various capital sources including operating cash flow, property sales, equity offerings, new financing, and co-investment real estate partnerships. Co-investment real estate 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.

Shopping Center Portfolio

The following table summarizes general information related to the Consolidated Properties in our shopping center portfolio (GLA in thousands):

The following table summarizes pro-rata occupancy rates of our combined Consolidated and Unconsolidated shopping center portfolio:

% Leased – Operating	95.8%	95.9%
≥ 10,000 SF	98.8%	98.8%
< 10,000 SF	90.9%	91.2%

We experienced a slight decrease in occupancy in the first quarter of 2015 with occupancy remaining stable in our over 10,000 SF category, but a pro-rata occupancy decrease of 30 basis points in our shop space category (less than 10,000 SF) compared to December 31, 2014. This decrease in the first quarter is consistent with seasonal move-outs, although move-outs were lower than historical averages. 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.

The following table summarizes leasing activity for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, including Regency's pro-rata share of activity within the portfolio of our co-investment partnerships:

⁽¹⁾ Number of leasing transactions reported at 100%; all other statistics reported at pro-rata share.

⁽²⁾ Totals for base rent, tenant improvements, and leasing commissions reflect the weighted average per square foot ("PSF").

There were no new leasing transactions this period in the greater than or equal to 10,000 SF category and occupancy in this category remains stable at 98.8%. Although the average base rent PSF for renewals in this category are lower than the three months ended March 31, 2014, it still represents a 2.6% increase over prior rents for the 2015 transactions. These transactions are limited in volume and rates tend to vary based on location.

In the under 10,000 SF category, rates continue to increase while occupancy has decreased slightly to 90.9% due to seasonal move-outs during the first quarter, although move-outs were lower than historical averages.

Significant Tenants and Concentrations of Risk

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 March 31, 2015:



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	46	6.5%	3.7%
Safeway/Albertsons	50	4.9%	3.1%

⁽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.

Bankruptcies

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. 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.

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.

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 held by our Operating Partnership or by our co-investment partnerships. The following table represents the remaining available capacity under our at the market ("ATM") equity program and unsecured credit facilities (in thousands):

In January 2015, the Parent Company entered into an underwritten public offering for 2.875 million shares of its common stock at a price of $67.40 per share which will result in gross proceeds of approximately $193.8 million, before any underwriting discount and offering expenses. In connection with this offering, the Parent Company entered into a forward sale agreement (the "Forward Equity Offering") with an affiliate of Wells Fargo Securities, LLC for the underwritten shares. The Forward Equity Offering will settle on one or more dates occurring no later than 12 months after the date of the offering.

The following table summarizes net cash flows related to operating, investing, and financing activities of the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

Total cash and cash equivalents	$	36,489		35,159		1,330

Net cash provided by operating activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 was $2.2 million more than the three months ended March 31, 2014 due to:


•	$6.4 million increase in cash from operating income; and,


•	$3.6 million increase in operating cash flow distributions from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships as several redevelopment projects completed and began generating cash flows; offset by


•	$7.8 million net decrease in cash due to timing of cash receipts and payments related to operating activities.

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 $50.6 million and $48.3 million for

the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Our dividend distribution policy is set by our Board of Directors who monitors our financial position. Our Board of Directors recently declared our common stock quarterly dividend of $0.485 per share, payable on June 3, 2015. 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 three months ended March 31, 2015 decreased by $62.0 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to less shopping center acquisitions in 2015 as follows (in thousands):

Significant investing and divesting activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 include:


•	We paid $4.0 million for a deposit to acquire one shopping center in 2015. During 2014, we acquired four shopping centers for an aggregate of $78.9 million.


•	We invested an additional $8.4 million on real estate development and capital improvements during the three months ended March 31, 2015 as compared to March 31, 2014, as further discussed in the table below.


•	We received proceeds of $3.4 million from the sale of one shopping center in 2015, compared to $4.5 million for one shopping center and two out-parcels during 2014.


•	Distributions from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships include return of capital from sales or financing proceeds. The $2.7 million received during the three months ended March 31, 2015 is primarily driven by $2.3 million of financing proceeds. During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we received $5.9 million from selling land held in a partnership.


•	Acquisition of securities and proceeds from sale of securities are primarily the result of investing activities in our non-qualified deferred compensation plan. The increase in net acquisitions of securities resulted from greater participant deferrals in the plan during 2015.

We plan to continue developing and redeveloping shopping centers for long-term investment purposes. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we deployed capital of $55.0 million for the development, redevelopment, and improvement of our real estate properties as comprised of the following (in thousands):



	Three months ended March 31,
	2015		2014	Change
Capital expenditures:
Land acquisitions for development / redevelopment	$	58	13,435	(13,377	)
Building and tenant improvements	6,490		6,095	395
Redevelopment costs	14,236		6,066	8,170
Development costs	26,339		14,233	12,106
Capitalized interest	2,059		1,641	418
Capitalized direct compensation	5,865		5,178	687
Real estate development and capital improvements	$	55,047	46,648	8,399


•	During 2015, we invested $0.1 million in pre-development costs, as compared to the acquisition of one land parcel for $13.4 million during 2014.


•	Redevelopment expenditures were higher during 2015 due to timing and magnitude of redevelopments.


•	At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had seven development projects that were either under construction or in lease up. Our capital expenditures on development projects were higher during 2015 due to the larger size of and progress towards completion of our development projects.

•

We have a staff of employees who directly support our development and redevelopment program. Internal compensation costs directly attributable to these activities are capitalized as part of each project as summarized in the table above. 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 $1.1 million.

There were no development projects completed during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities:

Net cash flows from financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 changed by $95.9 million compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, primarily due to higher net borrowings on the Line in 2014 and debt repayments in 2015 as follows (in thousands).



	2015			2014		Change
Cash flows from financing activities:

Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	$	(76,658	)	19,264		(95,922	)

Significant financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and March 31, 2014 include:


•	During 2015, we borrowed $30.0 million on our Line, net of repayments, as compared to the $70.0 million during 2014, to fund investing activities.


•	During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we spent $57.3 million to repay two mortgages that were scheduled to mature in 2015 in addition to scheduled principal payments, as compared to $1.7 million of principal payments on mortgages in 2014.

We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. At March 31, 2015, 79.2% of our wholly-owned real estate assets were unencumbered. Such assets allow us to access the secured and unsecured debt markets and to maintain availability on the Line. Our coverage ratio, including our pro-rata share of our partnerships, was 2.5 times for the trailing four quarters ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. 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 the remainder of 2015, we estimate that we will require approximately $522.0 million of cash, including $134.5 million to complete in-process developments and redevelopments, $370.4 million to repay maturing debt and approximately $17.1 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. To meet our cash requirements, we will utilize cash generated from operations, proceeds from the sale of real estate, proceeds from settling our $193.8 million Forward Equity Offering, up to $854.1 million available borrowings from our Line and Term Loan, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of equity under our remaining $95.0 million "At The Market (ATM)" program and the issuance of new long-term debt.

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 currently expect that we will successfully issue new secured or unsecured debt to fund our obligations, as needed.

We have $350.0 million of fixed rate, unsecured debt maturing August 1, 2015 and $400.0 million of fixed rate, unsecured debt maturing June 15, 2017. We currently expect to repay the 2015 maturity using proceeds from partially settling the Forward Equity Offering and issuing new long-term debt. In order to mitigate the risk of interest rate volatility, we have $220.0 million of forward starting interest rate swaps to partially hedge any new long-term debt issued in 2015 and an additional $220.0 million of forward starting interest rate swaps to partially hedge any new long-term debt 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. At March 31, 2015, the fair value of the interest rate swaps that are expected to settle in 2015 is $11.3 million.

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, 2014. We are in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2015 and expect to remain in compliance.

Investments in Real Estate Partnerships

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had investments in real estate partnerships of $325.2 million and $333.2 million, respectively. The following table is a summary of the unconsolidated combined assets and liabilities of these co-investment partnerships and our pro-rata share at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (dollars in thousands):

⁽¹⁾These partnership agreements have a unilateral right for election to dissolve the partnership and receive a distribution-in-kind ("DIK") upon liquidation; therefore, the Company has applied the Restricted Gain Method to determine the amount of gain recognized on property sales to these partnerships. During 2015, the Company did not sell any properties to these real estate partnerships.

Notes Payable - Investments in Real Estate Partnerships

As of March 31, 2015, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable held by our investments in real estate partnerships were as follows (in thousands):



Scheduled Principal Payments and Maturities by Year:	Scheduled Principal Payments		Mortgage Loan Maturities		Unsecured Maturities	Total		Regency’s Pro-Rata Share

At March 31, 2015, our investments in real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.5 billion maturing through 2025, 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 1.7%. These loans are all non-recourse, and our pro-rata share was $507.3 million as of March 31, 2015. As notes payable mature, they 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.

Results from Operations

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2015 to 2014:

Our revenues increased during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, as summarized in the following table (in thousands):



	2015		2014	Change
Minimum rent	$	101,305	94,536	6,769
Percentage rent	1,808		1,384	424
Recoveries from tenants	28,935		27,541	1,394
Other income	2,113		3,500	(1,387	)
Management, transaction, and other fees	6,238		6,319	(81	)
Total revenues	$	140,399	133,280	7,119

Minimum rent increased as follows:


•	$2.7 million increase due to the acquisitions of operating properties and $2.2 million increase from operations beginning at development properties; and


•	$3.9 million increase from same properties driven by higher rental rates and rent paying occupancy growth (same property includes operating properties owned for the entirety of both calendar year periods being presented, including redevelopments);


•	offset by a $2.0 million decrease from the sale of operating properties.

Recoveries from tenants represent reimbursements to us for tenants' pro-rata share of the operating, maintenance, and real estate tax expenses that we incur to operate our shopping centers. Recoveries from tenants increased as follows:


•	$615,000 increase due to the acquisitions of operating properties and $746,000 increase from operations beginning at development properties.

Other income, which consists of incidental income earned at our centers, decreased primarily as a result of a large fee earned in 2014 related to a settlement.

We earned 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 during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, as follows (in thousands):



	2015		2014	Change
Asset management fees	$	1,558	1,480	78
Property management fees	3,319		3,325	(6	)
Leasing commissions and other fees	1,361		1,514	(153	)
Total management, transaction, and other fees	$	6,238	6,319	(81	)

Our operating expenses increased during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, as summarized in the following table (in thousands):



	2015		2014	Change
Depreciation and amortization	$	35,992	37,905	(1,913	)
Operating and maintenance	21,172		20,505	667
General and administrative	16,378		14,198	2,180
Real estate taxes	15,131		14,799	332
Other operating expenses	1,166		2,173	(1,007	)
Total operating expenses	$	89,839	89,580	259

Depreciation and amortization decreased $1.9 million attributable to the following: $2.5 million decrease due to higher depreciation expense during 2014 on redevelopment projects, $1.1 million decrease from property sales and other corporate asset disposals, offset by an increase of $1.7 million from acquisitions and operations beginning at development properties.

General and administrative expenses increased approximately $2.2 million stemming from an increase of $1.1 million of higher compensation expense coupled with $0.5 million of lower capitalization for development and leasing activities. Additionally, changes in participant obligations from plan investments within the non-qualified deferred compensation plan resulted in a $0.4 million increase in expense.

Other operating expenses decreased $1.0 million primarily due to acquisition costs expensed during 2014 related to the Fairfield shopping center portfolio acquired in 2014.

The following table presents the components of other expense (income) for three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014, as follows (in thousands):



	2015			2014		Change
Interest expense, net ⁽¹⁾	$	26,633		27,134		(501	)
Provision for impairment	—			225		(225	)
Early extinguishment of debt	(61		)	—		(61	)
Net investment income	(634		)	(192	)	(442	)
Total other expense (income)	$	25,938		27,167		(1,229	)

⁽¹⁾ See table below for a discussion of interest expense.

The $442,000 increase in net investment income is largely related to the change in the fair value of plan assets in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan, which is consistent with the change in plan liabilities included in general and administrative expenses above.

The following table presents the changes in interest expense (in thousands):



	2015			2014		Change
Interest on notes payable	$	25,892		25,637		255
Interest on unsecured credit facilities	816			851		(35	)
Capitalized interest	(2,059		)	(1,641	)	(418	)
Hedge expense	2,250			2,503		(253	)
Interest income	(266		)	(216	)	(50	)
Total interest expense, net	$	26,633		27,134		(501	)

Our interest expense, net decreased mainly due to higher capitalized interest, which is based on higher cumulative costs incurred on development and redevelopment projects.

Our equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 as follows (in thousands):

Total		$	5,567	7,808	(2,241	)

⁽¹⁾ On August 13, 2013, Regency Retail Partners, LP (the "Fund") sold 100% of its interest in its entire portfolio of shopping centers to a third party. The Fund was dissolved following the final distribution of proceeds in 2014.

The decrease in our equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships is principally due to the sale of land held in a partnership which generated a pro-rata gain of $3.0 million during 2014.

The following represents the remaining components that comprised net income attributable to the common stockholders and unit holders for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2014 (in thousands):

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:


Ÿ	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 calendar year periods being compared and excludes all Properties in Development and Non-Same Properties. A Non-Same Property is a property acquired during either calendar year period being compared.


•	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.

Same Property NOI

Our pro-rata same property NOI grew 4.2%, which includes the following major components (in thousands):



	Three months ended March 31,
	2015		2014	Change
Base rent	$	116,311	111,872	4,439
Percentage rent	2,391		2,034	357

Operating expenses	43,187		43,994	(807	)
Pro-rata same property NOI	$	111,635	107,117	4,518

Pro-rata same property base rent increased $4.4 million driven by increases in contractual rent steps, rental rate growth, and improvements in rent paying occupancy.

Pro-rata same property other income decreased $1.2 million as a result of a large fee earned in 2014 related to a settlement.

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.

As of March 31, 2015 we had accrued liabilities of $10.0 million for our pro-rata share of environmental remediation. 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.
