EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2016 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, 2016, 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 23% 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, 2016


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 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. The Parent Company currently owns approximately 99.8% of the outstanding common Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2016, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the "Company” or “Regency”) directly owned 199 retail shopping centers and held partial interests in an additional 115 retail shopping centers through investments in real estate partnerships (also referred to as "joint ventures" or "investment partnerships").

The consolidated 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.

Consolidation

The Company consolidates properties that are wholly owned or properties where it owns less than 100%, but which it controls. Control is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of voting interest entities and variable interest entities ("VIEs"). For joint ventures that are determined to be a VIE, it consolidates the entity where it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. Determination of the primary beneficiary is based on whether an entity has (1) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the entity's economic performance, and (2) the obligation to absorb losses of the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE or the right to receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the VIE. The Company's determination of the primary beneficiary considers all relationships between it and the VIE, including management agreements and other contractual arrangements.

Ownership of the Operating Partnership

The Operating Partnership’s capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units. As of December 31, 2015, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.8% of the outstanding common Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership with the remaining limited Partnership Units held by third parties (“Exchangeable operating partnership units” or “EOP units”). The Parent Company serves as general partner of the Operating Partnership. The EOP unit holders have limited rights over the Operating Partnership such that they do not have characteristics of a controlling financial interest. As such, the Operating Partnership is considered a variable interest entity, and the Parent Company is the primary beneficiary which consolidates it. The Parent Company’s only investment is the Operating Partnership.

Real Estate Partnerships

Regency owns 115 properties through partnerships with institutional investors, other real estate developers and/or operators, and individual parties who help Regency source transactions for development and investment ("the Partners", "limited partners"). Regency has a variable interest in these entities through its equity interest. As managing member, Regency maintains the books and records and typically provides leasing and property management to the partnerships. The partners’ level of involvement varies from protective decisions (debt, bankruptcy, selling primary asset(s) of business) to involvement in approving leases, operating budgets, and capital budgets.


•	Those partnerships for which the partners only have protective rights are considered VIEs under ASC 810, Consolidation. Regency is the primary beneficiary of these VIEs as Regency has power over these partnerships and they operate primarily for the benefit of Regency. As such, Regency consolidates these entities and reports the limited partners’ interest as noncontrolling interests.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2016

The majority of the operations of the VIEs are funded with cash flows generated by the properties, or in the case of developments, with capital contributions or third party construction loans. Regency does not provide financial support to the VIEs.

The major classes of assets and liabilities held by these VIEs are as follows:



(in thousands)	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
Assets
Real estate assets, net	$	90,139	81,424
Cash and cash equivalents	9,670		790
Liabilities
Notes payable	17,635		17,948
Equity
Limited partners’ interests in consolidated partnerships	19,208		11,058


•	Those partnerships for which the partners are involved in the day to day decisions and do not have any other aspects that would cause them to be considered VIEs, are evaluated for consolidation using the voting interest model.


◦	Those partnerships which Regency has a controlling financial interest are consolidated and the limited partners’ ownership interest and share of net income is recorded as noncontrolling interest.


◦	Those partnerships which Regency does not have a controlling financial interest are accounted for using the equity method and its ownership interest is recognized through single-line presentation as Investments in Real Estate Partnerships, in the Consolidated Balance Sheet, and Equity in Income of Investments in Real Estate Partnerships, in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The assets of these partnerships are restricted to the use of the partnerships and cannot be used by general creditors of the Company. And similarly, the obligations of these partnerships can only be settled by the assets of these partnerships.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements and expected impact on our financial statements:



Standard	Description	Date of adoption	Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters
Recently adopted:
ASU 2015-02, February 2015, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis	ASU 2015-02 affects reporting entities that are required to evaluate whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. ASU 2015-02 modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs.	January 2016	The adoption of this standard resulted in five additional investment partnerships being considered variable interest entities due to the limited partners' lack of substantive participation in the partnerships. This did not result in any impact to the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, or Cash Flows, but did result in additional disclosures about its relationships with and exposure to variable interest entities.

ASU 2015-03, April 2015, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs	ASU 2015-03 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.	January 2016	The adoption and implementation of this standard has resulted in the retrospective presentation of debt issuance costs associated with the Company's notes payable and term loans as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt instruments (previously, included in deferred costs in the consolidated balance sheets). Unamortized debt issuance costs of $7.8 million and $8.2 million have been reclassified to offset the related debt as of March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

ASU 2015-15, August 2015, Interest—Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements	ASU 2015-15 clarifies that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements may be deferred and presented as an asset, amortized over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement, regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings.	January 2016	The adoption of this standard resulted in debt issuance costs related to the Line of credit ("Line") to continue being presented as an asset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, previously within deferred costs, and now presented within other assets.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2016



Standard	Description	Date of adoption	Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters
Not yet adopted:
ASU 2014-15, August 2014, Presentation of Financial Statements—Going Concern (Subtopic 205-40): Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern	The standard requires management to evaluate whether there are conditions or events that raise substantial doubt about the entity’s ability to continue as a going concern, and to provide certain disclosures when it is probable that the entity will be unable to meet its obligations as they become due within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued.	December 2016	The Company does not expect the adoption of this standard to have an impact on its Consolidated Balance Sheets, Statements of Operations, or Cash Flows but will result in more disclosure surrounding the Company's plans around significant debt maturities.

ASU 2016-09, March 2016, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting	This ASU affects entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The ASU is designed to simplify several aspects of accounting for share-based payment award transactions including income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, an option to recognize stock compensation forfeitures as they occur, and changes to classification on the statement of cash flows.	January 2017	We are currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the impact it may have on the Company's financial statements and related disclosures.

ASU 2014-09, May 2014, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)	The standard will replace existing revenue recognition standards and significantly expand the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements. It may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date.	January 2018	The Company is currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the impact it may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

ASU 2016-01, January 2016, Financial Instruments—Overall (Subtopic 825-10): Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities	The standard amends the guidance to classify equity securities with readily-determinable fair values into different categories and requires equity securities to be measured at fair value with changes in the fair value recognized through net income. Equity investments accounted for under the equity method are not included in the scope of this amendment. Early adoption of this amendment is not permitted.	January 2018	The Company does not expect the adoption and implementation of this standard to have a material impact on its results of operations, financial condition or cash flows.

ASU 2016-08, March 2016, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations	The standard will replace existing revenue recognition standards and significantly expand the disclosure requirements for revenue arrangements. It may be adopted either retrospectively or on a modified retrospective basis to new contracts and existing contracts with remaining performance obligations as of the effective date.	January 2018	The Company is currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the impact it may have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

ASU 2016-02, February 2016, Leases (Topic 842)	The standard amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets. It also makes targeted changes to lessor accounting, including a change to the treatment of initial direct leasing costs, which no longer considers fixed internal leasing salaries as capitalizable costs. Early adoption of this standard is permitted to coincide with adoption of ASU 2014-09. The standard requires a modified retrospective transition approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the date of initial application, with an option to use certain transition relief.	January 2019	The Company is currently evaluating the alternative methods of adoption and the impact it will have on its financial statements and related disclosures.

4. Available-for-Sale Securities

Available-for-sale securities consist of investments held by the Company's wholly-owned captive insurance subsidiary, which is required to maintain statutory minimum capital and surplus; therefore its access to these securities may be limited. Available-for-sale securities are included in other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company had no available-for-sale securities as of March 31, 2015.

Total	$	7,969	4	(83	)	7,890

Realized gains or losses on investments are recorded in the Company's consolidated statements of operations within net investment income. Upon the sale of a security classified as available-for-sale prior to its maturity, the security’s specific unrealized gain (loss) is reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings based on the specific identification method. During the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no such reclassifications from accumulated other comprehensive loss into earnings.

The contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities were as follows:

6. Derivative Financial Instruments

The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company's derivative financial instruments, as well as their classification on the Consolidated Balance Sheets:



							Fair Value
(in thousands)								Liabilities ⁽²⁾
Effective Date	Maturity Date	Early Termination Date ⁽¹⁾	Notional Amount		Bank Pays Variable Rate of	Regency Pays Fixed Rate of		March 31, 2016			December 31, 2015

Total derivative financial instruments								$	(34,765	)	(20,539	)

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

⁽²⁾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 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 2017. These interest rate swaps lock in the 10-year treasury rate and swap spread at a weighted average fixed rate of 3.48%. 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.

The following table represents the effect of the derivative financial instruments on the accompanying consolidated financial statements:



Derivatives in FASB ASC Topic 815 Cash Flow Hedging Relationships:	Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivative (Effective Portion)					Location and Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from Accumulated OCI into Income (Effective Portion)						Location and Amount of Gain or (Loss) Recognized in Income on Derivative (Ineffective Portion and Amount Excluded from Effectiveness Testing)

Interest rate swaps	$	(16,785	)	(13,882	)	Interest expense	$	(2,453	)	(2,249	)	Other expenses	$	—	—

As of March 31, 2016, the Company expects $9.6 million of net deferred losses on derivative instruments accumulated in other comprehensive income to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months, of which $8.3 million is related to previously settled swaps.

7. 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:



	March 31, 2016			December 31, 2015
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value	Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial assets:
Notes receivable	$	10,487	10,461	$	10,480	10,620
Financial liabilities:
Notes payable	$	1,670,750	1,783,000	$	1,699,771	1,793,200
Unsecured credit facilities	$	164,550	164,800	$	164,514	165,300

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, 2016 and December 31, 2015. 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.

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 unsecured debt is estimated based on the quoted market prices for the same or similar issues or on the current rates offered to the Company for debt of the same remaining maturities. The fair value of the unsecured debt was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

The fair value of the Company's mortgage 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 mortgage 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.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2016

The following interest rate ranges were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments:



	March 31, 2016		December 31, 2015
	Low	High	Low	High
Notes receivable	6.9%	6.9%	6.3%	6.3%
Notes payable	2.6%	4.1%	2.8%	4.2%
Unsecured credit facilities	1.4%	1.4%	1.1%	1.1%

(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 certificates of deposit and corporate bonds, and are recorded at fair value using matrix pricing methods to estimate fair value, which are considered Level 2 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.

8. Equity and Capital

Common Stock of the Parent Company

Issuances:

The current at the market ("ATM") equity offering program authorizes the Parent Company to sell up to $200 million of common stock at prices determined by the market at the time of sale. As of March 31, 2016, $70.8 million of common stock remained available for issuance under this ATM equity program.

The following table presents the shares that were issued under the ATM equity program:



	Three months ended March 31,

⁽¹⁾ Reflects 182,787 shares traded in December 2015 and settled in January 2016 and 18,125 shares traded December 2014 and settled in January 2015.

In March 2016, the Parent Company entered into a forward sale agreement (the "Forward Equity Offering") with respect to 3.1 million shares of its common stock. Assuming the Forward Equity Offering is physically settled based on the offering price to the public of $75.25 per share, the Forward Equity Offering will result in gross proceeds of approximately $233.3 million, before any underwriting discount and offering expenses. We expect to settle the offering on one or more dates occurring no later than 15 months after the date of the offering.

12. 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 $50.0 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, 2016 and December 31, 2015, 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; and technology disruptions. For additional information, see “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. 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.

Defined Terms

We use certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to the required GAAP presentations, as we believe these measures are beneficial to improving the understanding of the Company's operational results among analysts and the investing public. We manage our entire real estate portfolio consistently, without regard to ownership structure, although certain decisions impacting properties owned through partnerships require partner approval. Therefore, we believe presenting our pro-rata share of operating results regardless of ownership structure, along with other non-GAAP measures, makes comparisons of other REITs' operating results to the Company's more meaningful. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, 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 terms, as defined, are commonly used by management and the investing public to understand and evaluate our operational results:

•

Net Operating Income ("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.


•	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 Non-Same Properties and Properties in Development.


•	A Non-Same Property is a property acquired, sold, or development completion during either calendar year period being compared.


•	Property In Development is a property owned and intended to be developed, including partially operating properties acquired specifically for redevelopment and excluding land held for future development.

•

Development Completion is a project in development that is deemed complete upon the earliest of: (i) 90% of total estimated net development costs have been incurred and percent leased equals or exceeds 95%, or (ii) the project features at least two years of anchor operations, or (iii) three years have passed since the start of construction. Once deemed complete, the property is termed an Operating Property.

•

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. The Company also provides disclosure of Same Property NOI excluding termination fees, which excludes both termination fee income and expenses.


•	Pro-Rata information includes 100% of our consolidated properties plus our ownership interest in our unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships.

•

NAREIT Funds from Operations ("NAREIT 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 NAREIT 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 NAREIT FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from depreciable property dispositions, and impairments, it provides 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, NAREIT 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 NAREIT FFO includes certain non-cash and non-comparable items that affect the Company's period-over-period performance. Core FFO excludes from NAREIT 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 NAREIT FFO to Core FFO.

Overview of Our Strategy

Regency Centers began its operations as a publicly-traded REIT in 1993, and currently owns direct or partial interests in 314 shopping centers, the majority of which are grocery-anchored community and neighborhood centers. Our centers are located in the top markets of 26 states and the District of Columbia, and contain 37.8 million square feet ("SF") of gross leasable area ("GLA"). All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through the Operating Partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through its 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; and


•	Creation of superior growth in shareholder value.

Our strategy is:


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


•	Develop new, and redevelop existing, 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; and


•	Engage a talented and dedicated team with high standards of integrity that operates efficiently and is recognized as a leader in the real estate industry.

Executing on our Strategy

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we executed on our strategic objectives to further solidify Regency’s position as a leader among shopping center REITs:

Sustain average annual 3% NOI growth from a high-quality, growing portfolio of thriving community and neighborhood shopping centers.

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 out-parcels to these same types of tenants. We experience growth in revenues by increasing occupancy and rental rates in our existing shopping centers, by acquiring and developing new shopping centers, and by redeveloping shopping centers within our portfolio. Noteworthy milestones and achievements during 2016 include:


•	We achieved pro-rata same property NOI growth, excluding termination fees, of 4.1% during the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to 4.4% for the same period in 2015.


•	We improved our pro-rata same property percent leased to 96.2% at March 31, 2016 from 95.8% at December 31, 2016.


•	We grew rental rates 15.9% during the three months ended March 31, 2016, as compared to the 8.8% during the three months ended March 31, 2015 on comparable spaces for new and renewal leases.


•	We cost effectively invested in the acquisition of one operating property.

Develop new, high quality shopping centers and redevelop existing centers at attractive returns on investment from a disciplined development program.

We capitalize on our development capabilities, market presence, and anchor relationships by investing in new developments and redevelopments of existing centers.


•	During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we started $61.6 million of development and redevelopment projects with a weighted average projected return of 8.2%.

•

As of March 31, 2016, we have six ground-up developments in process, with total expected net development costs of $135.1 million, with projected returns on capital of 7.8%, and are currently 76% leased. We also have seventeen redevelopments of existing centers in process with total expected net redevelopment costs of $120.0 million, with $77.2 million of costs to complete, and projected incremental returns ranging from 7.0% - 10.0%.

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

We fund acquisitions and development activities from various capital sources including operating cash flow, property sales through a disciplined match-funding strategy of selling low growth assets, equity offerings, new debt financing, and capital from our co-investment partners.


•	We cost effectively sold 3.1 million shares of common stock through our forward equity offering in March, which is expected to settle by June 2017 for gross proceeds of approximately $233.3 million. In addition, we settled on 182,787 shares, that traded in December 2015, through our ATM program resulting in net proceeds of $12.4 million.


•	At March 31, 2016, our net debt-to-core EBITDA ratio on a pro-rata basis for the trailing twelve months was 5.1x versus 5.2x at December 31, 2015. We had $36.9 million of cash and no outstanding balance on our $800.0 million line of credit.

⁽²⁾ Includes Regency's pro-rata share of Unconsolidated Properties and excludes those owned by anchors.

Bankruptcies

During March 2016, Sports Authority filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection. We have three Sports Authority leases in our combined portfolio, which currently represent $2.9 million, or 0.5%, of total annualized base rent on a pro-rata basis. The ultimate outcome of these leases is still being determined.

During February 2016, Sears Holdings announced that it planned to accelerate the closing of a number of unprofitable stores due to continued poor sales. We have five Sears or Kmart leases in our combined portfolio, which currently represent $3.1 million, or 0.6%, of total annualized base rent on a pro-rata basis.

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.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2016 to 2015:

Our revenues increased as summarized in the following table:



	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2016		2015	Change
Minimum rent	$	107,674	101,305	6,369
Percentage rent	1,703		1,808	(105	)
Recoveries from tenants	30,825		28,934	1,891
Other income	2,662		2,114	548
Management, transaction, and other fees	6,764		6,238	526
Total revenues	$	149,628	140,399	9,229

Minimum rent increased as follows:


•	$3.6 million increase from rent commencing at development properties;


•	$1.8 million increase due to acquisitions of operating properties; and


•	$2.5 million increase in minimum rent from same properties;


•	reduced by $1.5 million 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:


•	$801,000 increase from rent commencing at development properties;


•	$622,000 increase due to acquisitions of operating properties; and


•	$1.2 million increase from same properties associated with improved recovery rates and higher recoverable costs;


•	reduced by $727,000 from the sale of operating properties.

Other income, which consists of incidental income earned at our centers, increased $548,000 primarily as a result of a lease termination fee earned in 2016.

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:



	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2016		2015	Change
Asset management fees	$	1,708	1,558	150
Property management fees	3,345		3,319	26
Leasing commissions and other fees	1,711		1,361	350
Total management, transaction, and other fees	$	6,764	6,238	526

Asset and property management fees increased due to higher property values and revenues or net operating income in our investment partnerships. Leasing commissions and other fees increased during 2016 due to the greater number of leasing transactions.

Changes in our operating expenses are summarized in the following table:



	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2016		2015	Change
Depreciation and amortization	$	38,716	35,992	2,724
Operating and maintenance	22,685		21,172	1,513
General and administrative	16,299		16,378	(79	)
Real estate taxes	15,870		15,131	739
Other operating expenses	2,306		1,166	1,140
Total operating expenses	$	95,876	89,839	6,037

Depreciation and amortization costs increased as follows:


•	$1.4 million increase as we began depreciating costs at development properties where tenant spaces completed and became available for occupancy;


•	$888,000 increase due to acquisitions of operating properties and corporate assets; and


•	$1.1 million increase at same properties, attributable to recent capital improvements and redevelopments;


•	reduced by $655,000 from the sale of operating properties.

Operating and maintenance costs increased as follows:


•	$608,000 increase related to operations commencing at development properties;


•	$1.2 million increase related to acquisitions of operating properties; and


•	$106,000 increase at same properties;


•	reduced by $378,000 from the sale of operating properties.

Real estate taxes increased as follows:


•	$257,000 increase related to development properties where capitalization ceased as tenant spaces became available for occupancy;


•	$374,000 increase related to acquisitions of operating properties; and


•	$532,000 increase at same properties from increased tax assessments;


•	reduced by $424,000 from sold properties.

Other operating expenses increased $1.1 million primarily due to higher transaction costs in 2016 due to greater property acquisitions and pursuit costs.

The following table presents the components of other expense (income):



	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2016			2015		Change
Interest expense, net
Interest on notes payable	$	22,252		25,892		(3,640	)
Interest on unsecured credit facilities	916			816		100
Capitalized interest	(973		)	(2,059	)	1,086
Hedge expense	2,230			2,250		(20	)
Interest income	(283		)	(266	)	(17	)
Interest expense, net	24,142			26,633		(2,491	)
Provision for impairment	1,666			—		1,666
Early extinguishment of debt	—			(61	)	61
Net investment loss (income)	155			(634	)	789
Total other expense (income)	$	25,963		25,938		25

The $2.5 million decrease in interest expense, net is mainly due to a $3.6 million decrease in lower interest rates from refinancing our long-term debt during 2015 and lower outstanding balances on notes payable; offset by lower capitalization of interest on development and redevelopment projects of $1.1 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recognized a $1.7 million impairment loss on one operating property that has since been sold and one parcel of land held for sale. We did not recognize any impairments for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

Net investment income decreased $789,000, driven by realized losses upon sale of plan assets from the non-qualified deferred compensation plan during three months ended March 31, 2016, which is offset by changes in participant obligations recognized within general and administrative expenses.

Our equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships increased as follows:



		Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	Ownership	2016		2015	Change
GRI - Regency, LLC (GRIR)	40.00%	$	10,772	3,994	6,778

US Regency Retail I, LLC (USAA)	20.01%	270		217	53
Other investments in real estate partnerships	50.00%	646		554	92
Total equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships		$	12,920	5,567	7,353

The $7.4 million net increase is largely attributed to GRIR, which experienced a $6.7 million increase driven by $5.8 million of gains on the sale of two operating properties during the three months ended March 31, 2016 coupled with reduced interest expense of roughly $418,000 from paying off or refinancing property debt at lower interest rates during 2015.

The following represents the remaining components that comprised net income attributable to the common stockholders and unit holders:



	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2016			2015		Change
Income from operations	$	40,709		30,189		10,520

Net income attributable to common unit holders	$	47,962		25,223		22,739

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we sold three operating properties and five land parcels for gains totaling $12.9 million, as compared to a gain of $803,000 from the one operating property sold during the three months ended March 31, 2015.

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.

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 sources of capital:

⁽²⁾ The Company has the option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods.

In March 2016, the Parent Company entered into an underwritten forward public offering for 3.1 million shares of its common stock at a price of $75.25 per share which, if physically settled, will result in gross proceeds of approximately $233.3 million, before any underwriting discount and offering expenses. In connection with this offering, the Parent Company entered into a Forward Equity Offering with an affiliate of J.P. Morgan for the underwritten shares. We expect to settle the offering on one or more dates occurring no later than 15 months after the date of the offering.

The following table summarizes net cash flows related to operating, investing, and financing activities of the Company:

Total cash and cash equivalents	$	27,137		36,489		(9,352	)

Net cash provided by operating activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $14.4 million due to:


•	$7.4 million increase in cash from operating income; and,


•	$1.5 million increase in operating cash flow distributions from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships as several redevelopment projects were completed and began distributing cash flows; reduced by


•	$5.4 million net increase 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 $53.9 million and $50.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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 $0.500 per share, payable on June 1, 2016. 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	$	(7,333	)	(55,087	)	47,754

Significant changes in investing and divesting activities include:


•	We acquired one operating property during 2016 for $16.5 million and, in the same period of 2015, made a $4.0 million advance deposit to acquire one shopping center.


•	We invested $16.8 million less in 2016 than 2015 on real estate development and capital improvements, as further detailed in a table below.


•	We received proceeds of $32.3 million from the sale of three shopping centers and five land parcels in 2016, compared to $3.4 million for one shopping center in 2015.


•	We invested $2.4 million in our real estate partnerships during 2016 to fund our share of maturing mortgage debt, compared to $1.3 million to fund redevelopment activities in the same period of 2015.


•	Distributions from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships include return of capital from sales or financing proceeds. The $18.3 million received in 2016 is primarily driven by proceeds from the sale of three shopping centers within the partnerships. During 2015, we received $2.7 million, primarily attributable to financing proceeds from a single property mortgage.


•	Acquisition of securities and proceeds from sale of securities include investments in equity and debt securities held by our captive insurance company and our deferred compensation plan. The majority of our investing activity during 2016 relates to reallocation of plan assets reflecting a change in the investment adviser.

We plan to continue developing and redeveloping shopping centers for long-term investment purposes. We deployed capital of $38.3 million for the development, redevelopment, and improvement of our real estate properties as comprised of the following:



	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2016		2015	Change
Capital expenditures:

Building and tenant improvements	9,077		6,490	2,587

Capitalized direct compensation	5,041		5,865	(824	)
Real estate development and capital improvements	$	38,289	55,047	(16,758	)


•	Building and tenant improvements increased during 2016 primarily related to timing of capital projects.

•

Redevelopment expenditures were lower during 2016 due to the timing, magnitude, and number of projects currently in process. We intend to continuously improve our portfolio of shopping centers through redevelopment which can include adjacent land acquisition, existing building expansion, new out-parcel building construction, and tenant improvement costs. The size and magnitude of each redevelopment project varies with each redevelopment plan.


•	Development expenditures were lower during 2016 due to the progress towards completion of our development projects during 2015. At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had six and seven development projects, respectively, that were either under construction or in lease up.

•

Interest is capitalized on our development and redevelopment projects and is based on cumulative actual development costs expended. We cease interest capitalization when the property is no longer being developed or is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements but in no event would we capitalize interest on the project beyond 12 months after the anchor opens for business. Capitalized interest decreased in 2016 as compared to 2015 as our development or redevelopment projects neared substantial completion.

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 $1.4 million per year.

The following table details our development projects:

Significant financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 include the following:


•	During 2016, we issued 182,787 shares of common stock through our ATM program at an average price of $68.85 per share resulting in net proceeds of $12.3 million. During 2015, we issued 18,125 shares of

common stock through our ATM program at an average price of $64.72 per share resulting in net proceeds of $1.0 million.


•	During 2016, we had no borrowings on our Line and Term Loan, net of repayments, as compared to $30 million in 2015.


•	During 2016, we used $27.3 million to repay two mortgages that matured in 2016, and $1.6 million for scheduled principal payments as compared to $55.8 million to repay two mortgages that matured in 2015 and $1.5 million for scheduled principal payments during 2015.

We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. At March 31, 2016, 80.3% 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 2.9 times and 2.5 times for the trailing four quarters ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, 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.

For the next twelve months, we estimate that we will require approximately $173.5 million of cash, including $125.2 million to complete in-process developments and redevelopments, $23.9 million to repay maturing debt, and $24.4 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 may utilize cash generated from operations, proceeds from the sale of real estate, proceeds from settling our $233.3 million Forward Equity Offering, up to $794.1 million in available borrowings from our Line, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of equity under our remaining $70.8 million ATM program or 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 $300.0 million of fixed rate, unsecured debt maturing June 15, 2017. We expect to issue new fixed rate debt in 2017 to repay the $300.0 million maturity. 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 2017. These interest rate swaps lock in the 10-year treasury rate and swap spread at a weighted average fixed rate of 3.48%. 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. We will cash settle these forward starting interest rate swaps when we issue the new debt. The actual cash settlement may differ from the current fair value of these interest rate swaps based on movements in interest rates.

Our Line, Term Loan, and unsecured loans require that 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, 2015. We are in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2016 and expect to remain in compliance.

Investments in Real Estate Partnerships

At March 31, 2016, our investments in real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.4 billion maturing through 2031, of which 99.3% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.9%, and the remaining notes payable float over LIBOR and had a weighted average variable interest rate of 2.1%. These loans are all non-recourse, and our pro-rata share was $483.9 million as of March 31, 2016. 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.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See note 1 to Consolidated Financial Statements.

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, 2016 we had accrued liabilities of $9.8 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.
