EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, 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”, “Regency Centers” 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, 2021, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.6% of the Units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining limited Units are owned by investors. 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 key 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. Except for $200 million of unsecured private placement debt, the Parent Company does not hold any indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is also the co-issuer and guarantees the $200 million of Parent Company debt. 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. 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.

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.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

1.	Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

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 primarily engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, and development and redevelopment of shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other assets other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership, and its only liabilities are $200 million of unsecured private placement notes, which are co-issued and guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership.

As of March 31, 2021, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis owned 293 properties and held partial interests in an additional 113 properties through unconsolidated 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 fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature.

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to create volatility and uncertainty in the Company’s business performance with particular impact to cash collections, tenant move outs, and new and renewal leasing volumes. The speed of the continued vaccine deployment and the timing of states and localities lifting mandated closures or capacity restrictions, has and will continue to influence the success of tenants. The Company actively monitors its cash collections amid the continuing pandemic. Collection experience since the pandemic began has been lower than historical pre-pandemic averages, but has increased since its low point in the second quarter of 2020 as businesses reopened in states that have lifted or reduced capacity restrictions. Collection rates are expected to remain lower than historical pre-pandemic averages for the foreseeable future until restrictions are significantly lifted and consumers return to in-store experiences. Although continuing to improve, tenants at centers in downtown business districts heavily reliant on employees returning to in-office work are trailing in recovery. Please also refer to the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 for additional discussion of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the Company’s business including, without limitation, the Risk Factors discussed in Item 1A of Part I thereof.

Consolidation

The Company consolidates properties that are wholly-owned and properties where it owns less than 100%, but which it has control over the activities most important to the overall success of the partnership. Control is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") and voting interest entities.

Ownership of the Operating Partnership

The Operating Partnership’s capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units. As of March 31, 2021, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.6% of the outstanding common Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership, with the remaining limited common Partnership Units held by third parties (“Exchangeable operating partnership units” or “EOP units”). Each EOP unit is exchangeable for cash or one share of common stock of the Parent Company, at the discretion of the Parent Company, and the unit holder cannot require redemption in cash or other assets. The Parent Company has evaluated the conditions as specified under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as it relates to exchangeable operating partnership units outstanding and concluded that it has the right to satisfy the redemption requirements of the units by delivering unregistered common stock. Accordingly, the Parent Company classifies EOP units as permanent equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Income. 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 the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership. As such, the Operating Partnership is considered a VIE, and the Parent Company, which consolidates it, is the primary beneficiary. The Parent Company’s only investment is the Operating Partnership. Net income and distributions of the Operating Partnership are allocable to the general and limited common Partnership Units in accordance with their ownership percentages.

Real Estate Partnerships

As of March 31, 2021, Regency had a partial ownership interest in 123 properties through partnerships, of which 10 are consolidated. Regency's partners include institutional investors and other real estate developers and/or operators (the “Partners” or “limited partners”). Regency has a variable interest in these entities through its equity interests, with Regency the primary beneficiary in certain of these real estate partnerships. As such, Regency consolidates the partnerships for which it is the primary beneficiary and reports the limited partners’ interests as Noncontrolling interests. For those partnerships which Regency is not the

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

primary beneficiary and does not control, but has significant influence, Regency recognizes its investment in them using the equity method of accounting.

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 the partnerships can only be settled by the assets of these partnerships or additional contributions by the partners.

The major classes of assets, liabilities, and non-controlling equity interests held by the Company's consolidated VIEs, exclusive of the Operating Partnership, are as follows:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020

Liabilities
Notes payable		6,349		6,340
Equity
Limited partners’ interests in consolidated partnerships		28,534		28,685

Revenues and Other Receivables

Other property income includes incidental income from the properties and is generally recognized at the point in time that the performance obligation is met. All income from contracts with the Company's real estate partnerships is included within Management, transaction and other fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The primary components of these revenue streams, the timing of satisfying the performance obligations, and amounts recognized are as follows:

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

As the Company identifies properties (“reporting units”) that no longer meet its investment criteria, it will evaluate the property for potential sale. A decision to sell a reporting unit results in the need to evaluate its goodwill for recoverability and may result in impairment. Additionally, other changes impacting a reporting unit may be considered a triggering event. If events occur that trigger an impairment evaluation at multiple reporting units, a goodwill impairment may be significant.

During 2020, the Company recognized $132.2 million of Goodwill impairment following the market disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was considered a triggering event requiring evaluation of reporting unit fair values for Goodwill impairment. Of the 269 reporting units with Goodwill, 87 were determined to have fair values lower than carrying value, resulting in $132.2 million of Goodwill impairment.

6.	Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative transactions or purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

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

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

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, as of March 31, 2021, does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

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

Location and Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivative						Location and Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income					Total amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded
	Three months ended March 31,						Three months ended March 31,					Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2021		2020				2021		2020			2021		2020
Interest rate swaps	$	5,810		(16,079	)	Interest expense	$	1,035		1,425	Interest expense, net	$	36,936		37,436

As of March 31, 2021, the Company expects approximately $3.7 million of accumulated comprehensive losses on derivative instruments in AOCI, including the Company's share from its Investments in real estate partnerships, to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months.

Leases

All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The Company's Lease income is comprised of both fixed and variable income. Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income includes stated amounts per the lease contract, which are primarily related to base rent, and in some cases stated amounts for common area maintenance (“CAM”), real estate taxes, and insurance. Income for these amounts is recognized on a straight-line basis.

Variable lease income includes the following two main items in the lease contracts:

(i) Recoveries from tenants represents amounts tenants are contractually obligated to reimburse the Company for the tenants’ portion of actual Recoverable Costs incurred. Generally the Company’s leases provide for the tenants to reimburse the Company based on the tenants’ share of the actual costs incurred in proportion to the tenants’ share of leased space in the property.

(ii) Percentage rent represents amounts billable to tenants based on the tenants' actual sales volume in excess of levels specified in the lease contract.

The following table provides a disaggregation of lease income recognized as either fixed or variable lease income based on the criteria specified in ASC Topic 842:

(in thousands)	Three months ended March 31,
	2021			2020
Operating lease income
Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income	$	196,054			204,943
Variable lease income		64,067			64,668
Other lease related income, net:
Above/below market rent and tenant rent inducement amortization, net		5,996			12,880
Uncollectible straight line rent		(2,035	)		(3,902	)
Uncollectible amounts billable in lease income		2,275			(4,052	)
Total lease income	$	266,357			274,537

Lease income for operating leases with fixed payment terms is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease for all leases for which collectibility is considered probable at the commencement date. At lease commencement, the Company generally expects that collectibility is probable due to the Company’s credit checks on tenants and other creditworthiness analysis undertaken before entering into a new lease; therefore, income from most operating leases is initially recognized on a straight-line basis. For operating leases in which collectibility of Lease income is not considered probable, Lease

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

income is recognized on a cash basis and all previously recognized straight-line rent receivables are reversed in the period in which the Lease income is determined not to be probable of collection. In addition to the lease-specific collectibility assessment performed under Topic 842, the Company also recognizes a general reserve, as a reduction to Lease income, for its portfolio of operating lease receivables which are not expected to be fully collectible based on the Company’s historical collection experience.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Rent Concessions

During 2020, in response to the pandemic and the resulting entry into agreements for rent concessions between tenants and landlords, the FASB issued interpretive guidance relating to the accounting for lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. In this guidance, entities could elect not to apply lease modification accounting with respect to such lease concessions, and instead, treat the concession as if it was a part of the existing contract and therefore continue to recognize the deferred rents in the period originally billed subject to separate collectibility assessments under Topic 842. This guidance is only applicable to COVID-19 related lease concessions that do not result in a substantial increase in the right of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. The Company has elected to treat concessions that satisfy this criteria as though the concession was part of the existing contract and therefore not treated like a lease modification.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, the Company experienced higher uncollectible lease income on current period billings compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 when the Company was only seeing the first indications of the pandemic’s impact on tenants. However, this higher uncollectible lease income was offset by collections of prior period billings from our cash basis tenants resulting in a net positive impact of $2.3 million.

The Company continues to negotiate with certain remaining tenants, which may result in further rent concessions as determined necessary and appropriate. Collectibility of these concessions generally includes consideration of the tenants’ business performance, ability to sustain their business in the current environment, as well as an assessment of their credit worthiness and ability to repay such amounts in the future.

The following table represents the components of Tenant and other receivables in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2021		December 31, 2020
Tenant receivables	$	21,630	$	39,658
Straight-line rent receivables		87,180		86,615
Other receivables⁽¹⁾		18,645		17,360
Total tenant and other receivables	$	127,455	$	143,633

Other receivables include construction receivables, insurance receivables, and amounts due from real estate partnerships for Management, transaction and other fee income.

8.	Fair Value Measurements

(a) Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management's estimation, reasonably approximate their fair values, except for the following:

	March 31, 2021				December 31, 2020
(in thousands)	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value
Financial liabilities:
Notes payable	$	3,652,242		3,943,126		3,658,405		4,102,382
Unsecured credit facilities	$	—		—		264,679		265,226

The above fair values represent management's estimate of 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, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively. These fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs which are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. 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, appropriate 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

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

March 31, 2021

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.

(b) Fair Value Measurements

The following financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities

The Company has investments in marketable securities that are included within Other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the securities was determined using quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the value of securities are recorded within Net investment (income) loss in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, and include unrealized gains of $0.4 million and unrealized losses of $5.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

Available-for-sale debt 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 debt 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.

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:

As of March 31, 2021, all $500 million of common stock authorized under the ATM program remained available for issuance.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 3, 2021, the Company's Board authorized a common share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $250 million shares of its outstanding common stock through open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions. Any shares purchased, if not retired, will be treated as treasury shares. The program is set to expire on February 3, 2023, but may be modified or terminated at the discretion of the Board. The timing and actual number of shares purchased under the program depend upon marketplace conditions, liquidity needs, and other factors. Through March 31, 2021, no shares have been repurchased under this program.

13.	Commitments and Contingencies

Litigation

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. However, no assurances can be given as to the outcome of any threatened or pending legal proceedings. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

Environmental

The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations pertaining primarily to chemicals historically used by certain current and former dry cleaning tenants, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and older 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. The Company can give no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to its shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contaminants; that its estimate of liabilities will not change as more information becomes available; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to the Company; 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; and that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.

Letters of Credit

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 on behalf of its captive insurance program and to facilitate the construction of development projects. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $9.7 million in letters of credit outstanding.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial, business, legal or other outcomes including business and market conditions, outlook and other similar statements relating to Regency’s future events, developments, or financial or operational performance or results, are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “guidance,” and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. While we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance these expectations will be attained, and it is possible actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties.

Our operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, those listed in “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. When considering an investment in our securities, you should carefully read and consider these risks, together with all other information in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our other filings and submissions to the SEC, which provide much more information and detail on the risks attendant to an investment in Regency. If any of the events described in the risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results, as well as the market price of our securities, could be materially adversely affected. Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and Regency undertakes no duty to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the required Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) presentations, we use certain non-GAAP performance measures as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the Company's operational results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. 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.

We do not consider non-GAAP measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, rather they supplement GAAP measures by providing additional information we believe to be useful to our shareholders. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management’s judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of the Company.

Defined Terms

The following terms, as defined, are commonly used by management and the investing public to understand and evaluate our operational results:

•

Development Completion is a property 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 property 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 a Retail Operating Property the following calendar year.

•

Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as Operating EBITDAre divided by the sum of the gross interest and scheduled mortgage principal paid to our lenders.

•

Nareit EBITDAre is a measure of REIT performance, which the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gains on sales of real estate, (v) impairments of real estate, and (vi) adjustments to reflect the Company's share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

•

Nareit Funds from Operations (“Nareit FFO”) is a commonly used measure of REIT performance, which Nareit defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains on sales and impairments of real estate, net of tax, 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.

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 on sale and impairments of real estate, 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 a substitute measure of cash flows from operations. We provide a reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders to Nareit FFO.

•

Net Operating Income (“NOI”) is the sum of base rent, percentage rent, recoveries from tenants, other lease income, and other property income, less operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, ground rent, and uncollectible lease income. NOI excludes straight-line rental income and expense, above and below market rent and ground rent amortization, tenant lease inducement amortization, and other fees. We also provide disclosure of NOI excluding termination fees, which excludes both termination fee income and expenses.

•

A Non-Same Property is any property, during either calendar year period being compared, that was acquired, sold, a Property in Development, a Development Completion, or a property under, or being positioned for, significant redevelopment that distorts comparability between periods. Non-retail properties and corporate activities, including the captive insurance program, are part of Non-Same Property.

•

Operating EBITDAre begins with Nareit EBITDAre and excludes certain non-cash components of earnings derived from above and below market rent amortization and straight-line rents. We provide a reconciliation of Net income to Nareit EBITDAre to Operating EBITDAre.

•

Pro-Rata information includes 100% of our consolidated properties plus our economic share (based on our ownership interest) in our unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships.

We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results under GAAP. We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, operating results, and certain metrics, along with other non GAAP measures, makes comparisons of other REITs' operating results to ours more meaningful. The Pro-rata information provided is not, nor is it intended to be, presented in accordance with GAAP. The Pro-rata supplemental details of assets and liabilities and supplemental details of operations reflect our proportionate economic ownership of the assets, liabilities, and operating results of the properties in our portfolio.

The Pro-rata information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts and is intended to more accurately reflect our proportionate economic interest in the assets, liabilities, and operating results of properties in our portfolio. We do not control the unconsolidated investment partnerships, and the Pro-rata presentations of the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses do not represent our legal claim to such items. The partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the operating agreements, which generally provide for such allocations according to their invested capital. Our share of invested capital establishes the ownership interests we use to prepare our Pro-rata share.

The presentation of Pro-rata information has limitations which include, but are not limited to, the following:

The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and

Other companies in our industry may calculate their Pro-rata interest differently, limiting the comparability of Pro-rata information.

Because of these limitations, the Pro-rata financial information should not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements, using the Pro-rata information as a supplement.

•

Property In Development includes properties in various stages of ground-up development.

•

Property In Redevelopment includes Retail Operating Properties under redevelopment or being positioned for redevelopment. Unless otherwise indicated, a Property in Redevelopment is included in the Same Property pool.

•

Retail Operating Property is any retail property not termed a Property in Development. A retail property is any property where the majority of the income is generated from retail uses.

•

Same Property is a Retail Operating Property that was owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar year periods being compared. This term excludes Properties in Development, prior year Development Completions, and Non-Same Properties. Properties in Redevelopment are included unless otherwise indicated.

Overview of Our Strategy

Regency Centers Corporation began its operations as a publicly-traded REIT in 1993, and as of March 31, 2021, had full or partial ownership interests in 406 retail properties primarily anchored by market leading grocery stores. Our properties are principally located in affluent and infill trade areas of the United States, and contain 51,639 million square feet (“SF”) of gross leasable area (“GLA”). All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through our Operating Partnership, Regency Centers, L.P., our wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through our co-investment partnerships. As of March 31, 2021, the Parent Company owns approximately 99.6% of the outstanding common partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

Our mission is to be the preeminent national owner, operator, and developer of shopping centers, creating places that provide a thriving environment for outstanding retailers and service providers to connect with the surrounding neighborhoods and communities.

Our goals are to:

•

Own and manage a portfolio of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers primarily anchored by market leading grocers and located in affluent suburban and near urban trade areas in the country’s most desirable metro areas. We expect that this combination will produce highly desirable and attractive centers with best-in-class retailers. These centers should command higher rental and occupancy rates resulting in excellent prospects to grow net operating income;

•

Maintain an industry leading and disciplined development and redevelopment platform to deliver exceptional retail centers at higher returns as compared to acquisitions;

•

Support our business activities with a conservative capital structure, including a strong balance sheet;

•

Implement leading environmental, social, and governance practices through our Corporate Responsibility Program;

•

Engage an exceptional and diverse team that is guided by our strong values and special culture, while fostering an environment of innovation and continuous improvement; and

•

Create shareholder value by increasing earnings and dividends per share and generating total returns at or near the top of our shopping center peers.

COVID-19 Update

Refer to Item 1, Note 1 to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements.

Executing on our Strategy

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we had Net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders of $80.7 million, as compared to ($25.3) million, including a $132.1 million Goodwill impairment charge, during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021:

•

Our Pro-rata same property NOI, excluding termination fees, declined 1.6%, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020, primarily attributable to reduced rent commenced occupancy due to the COVID-19 pandemic resulting in lower lease income.

•

We executed 450 new and renewal leasing transactions representing 1.4 million Pro-rata SF, with trailing twelve month rent spreads of 1.2% as compared to 373 leasing transactions representing 1.4 million Pro-rata SF with positive trailing twelve month spreads of 7.4% in the three months ended March 31, 2020. Rent spreads are on comparable retail operating property spaces in each period.

•

At March 31, 2021, our total property portfolio was 92.2% leased, while our same property portfolio was 92.5% leased, as compared to 92.3% leased and 93.0% leased, respectively, at December 31, 2020.

We continued our development and redevelopment of high quality shopping centers:

•

We currently have a total of 13 properties in process of development or redevelopment with total estimated Pro-rata project costs of $326.8 million as compared to 14 properties and $319.3 million at December 31, 2020.

We maintained a conservative balance sheet providing liquidity and financial flexibility to respond to these uncertain economic times and to cost effectively fund investment opportunities and debt maturities:

•

On January 15, 2021, we repaid our $265 million term loan and settled its related interest rate swap.

•

On February 9, 2021, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which among other items, i) retains a borrowing capacity of $1.25 billion, ii) includes a $125 million sublimit for swingline loans and $50 million available for issuance of letters of credits, iii) extends the maturity date to March 23, 2025 and iv) provides for two six-month extension options. The existing financial covenants under the Line remained unchanged. As of March 31, 2021, we have a remaining borrowing capacity of $1.2 billion.

•

At March 31, 2021, our Pro-rata net debt-to-operating EBITDAre ratio on a trailing twelve month basis was 5.9x as compared to 6.0x at December 31, 2020.

Total Leases		373		1,416	$	22.67	$	5.26	$	2.06

The weighted average base rent per square foot on signed shop space leases during 2021 was $32.44 PSF, which is slightly lower than the weighted average annual base rent per square foot of all shop space leases due to expire during the next 12 months of $32.87 PSF. While new and renewal rent spreads were slightly positive at 0.2% as compared to prior rents on those same spaces, future rent spreads could be negatively impacted if the COVID-19 pandemic results in oversupply of vacant retail in the markets in which we operate. This may result in decreased demand for retail space in our centers, which could result in pricing pressure on rents.

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. Based on percentage of annualized base rent, the following table summarizes our most significant tenants, of which the top four are grocers:

	March 31, 2021
Tenant	Number of Stores		Percentage of Company- owned GLA ⁽¹⁾	Percentage of Annualized Base Rent ⁽¹⁾
Publix		68	6.7%	3.5%
Kroger		53	6.5%	3.0%

Bankruptcies and Credit Concerns

The impact of bankruptcies may increase significantly if tenants occupying our centers are unable to withstand and recover from the disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which could materially adversely impact Lease income and could result in greater legal expenses. Since the pandemic began, and during 2020, we experienced an increase in the number of tenants filing for bankruptcy, but filings have slowed thus far in 2021, and a number of tenants have emerged from bankruptcy after reorganization.

Although base rent is supported by long-term lease contracts, tenants who file bankruptcy generally have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close related stores. Any unsecured claim we hold against a bankrupt tenant for unpaid rent might be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold. Additionally, we may incur significant expense to adjudicate our claim and to release the vacated space. 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.

Our management team devotes significant time to researching and monitoring retail trends, consumer preferences, customer shopping behaviors, changes in retail delivery methods, shifts to e-commerce, and changing demographics in order to anticipate the challenges and opportunities impacting the retail industry. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic there has been and continues to be a greater focus on whether tenants are considered essential or non-essential retail, which may directly impact the retailer’s ability to operate and generate sufficient cash flows to meet their operating expenses, including lease payments. Unemployment levels could negatively impact consumer spending and, along with large-scale business failures, have an adverse effect on our results from operations. We seek to mitigate these potential impacts through tenant diversification, replacing weaker tenants with stronger operators, anchoring our centers with market leading grocery stores that drive customer traffic, and maintaining a presence in affluent suburbs and dense infill trade areas.

The Company closely monitors its cash collections, which had significantly declined in the initial months of the pandemic, most notably from tenants whose businesses were classified as non-essential. Cash collections through May 3, 2021 have continued to improve over initial pandemic levels with approximately 93% of billed base rent collected for the three months ended March 31, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to result in certain tenants requesting concessions from rent obligations, including deferrals, abatements and requests to negotiate future rents, while some tenants have been unable to reopen or have not honored the terms of their existing lease agreements. The Company expects to continue to work with tenants, which may result in further rent concessions or legal actions as determined to be necessary and appropriate. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic, there can be no assurances that all such deferred rent will ultimately be collected, or collected within the timeframes agreed upon.

We closely monitor the operating performance of tenants in our shopping centers as well as those retailers experiencing significant changes to their business models, such as reduced customer traffic in their stores. Retailers who are unable to withstand these and other business pressures, such as significant cash flow declines or debt maturities, may file for bankruptcy. As a result of our research and findings, we may reduce new leasing, suspend leasing, or curtail allowances for construction of leasehold improvements within certain retail categories or to a specific retailer in order to reduce our risk of loss from bankruptcies and store closings.

Results from Operations

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

Our revenues changed as summarized in the following table:

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2021		2020		Change
Lease income	$	266,357		274,537		(8,180	)
Other property income		1,953		2,305		(352	)
Management, transaction, and other fees		6,393		6,816		(423	)
Total revenues	$	274,703		283,658		(8,955	)

Lease income decreased $8.2 million, driven by the following contractually billable components of rent to the tenants per the lease agreements:

$7.6 million decrease from billable Base rent, as follows:

•

$1.0 million net decrease from a property undergoing reconstruction following tornado damage that occurred in 2019, offset by rent commencements at other development properties; and

•

$4.7 million net decrease from same properties due to the loss of rents from tenant move-outs and bankruptcies, offset by increases from rent steps in existing leases and rental rate growth, and

•

$1.9 million decrease from the sale of operating properties.

$6.9 million net decrease in Above and below market rent primarily from same properties driven by 2020 tenant move-outs and the timing of lease term modifications.

$719,000 decrease from billable Recoveries from tenants, which represent amounts contractually billable to tenants per the terms of the lease for their reimbursements to us for the tenants’ Pro-rata share of the operating, maintenance, insurance and real estate tax expenses that we incur to operate our shopping centers. Recoveries from tenants decreased, on a net basis, primarily from the following:

•

$510,000 net decrease from same properties due to a decrease in real estate tax recoveries resulting from lower recovery rates, and

•

$420,000 decrease from the sale of operating properties, offset by

•

$211,000 increase from rent commencing at development properties and from acquisitions of operating properties

$807,000 increase in straight line rent from new leases with contractual rent steps and identification of fewer new cash basis tenants as collections have continued to improve.

$6.3 million increase in Lease income due to a net positive impact of Uncollectible lease income of $2.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to an expense of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. Uncollectible lease income on current period billings was higher compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 when the Company was only seeing the first indications of the pandemics impact on our tenants. This higher uncollectible lease income was offset by collections of prior period billings from our cash basis tenants. Approximately 93% of the base rent billed for the three months ended March 31, 2021, has been collected through May 3, 2021. Future lease income could be negatively impacted by ongoing negotiations to assist tenants with their ability to remain operational as this pandemic subsides.

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

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2021		2020		Change
Depreciation and amortization	$	77,259		89,295		(12,036	)
Operating and maintenance		45,582		42,369		3,213
General and administrative		21,287		13,705		7,582
Real estate taxes		36,166		35,887		279
Other operating expenses		698		1,337		(639	)
Total operating expenses	$	180,992		182,593		(1,601	)

Depreciation and amortization costs decreased, on a net basis, as follows:

•

$459,000 net increase from acquisitions of operating properties, development properties, and corporate assets; offset by

•

$11.9 million decrease from same properties, primarily attributable to early tenant move-outs in 2020; and

•

$597,000 decrease from the sale of operating properties.

Operating and maintenance costs increased, on a net basis, as follows:

•

$536,000 net increase from acquisitions of operating properties and development properties;

•

$1.5 million increase from same properties, primarily attributable to increases in insurance costs as well as legal expenses associated with tenant defaults and bankruptcies; and

•

$1.2 million increase from a termination fee expense in 2021 at a property that has since been sold.

General and administrative costs increased, on a net basis, as follows:

•

$5.4 million increase in the value of participant obligations within the deferred compensation plan, attributable to changes in market values of those investments, reflected within Net investment income;

•

$1.5 million increase in compensation costs primarily driven by higher incentive compensation; and

•

$953,000 increase due to less development overhead capitalization based on the status and progress on development and redevelopment projects during the year; offset by

•

$315,000 net decrease in other costs primarily from reduced travel and entertainment expenses.

Other operating expenses decreased $637,000, attributable to decreased development pursuit costs.

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

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2021			2020			Change
Interest expense, net
Interest on notes payable	$	37,235			34,566			2,669

Capitalized interest		(849	)		(1,175	)		326
Hedge expense		109			1,650			(1,541	)
Interest income		(158	)		(542	)		384
Interest expense, net	$	36,936			37,436			(500	)
Goodwill impairment		—			132,128			(132,128	)
Provision for impairment of real estate, net of tax		—			784			(784	)
Gain on sale of real estate, net of tax		(11,698	)		(38,005	)		26,307
Net investment income		(1,486	)		4,923			(6,409	)
Total other expense (income)	$	23,752			137,266			(113,514	)

The $501,000 net decrease in Interest expense is primarily driven by the following changes:

•

$2.7 million net increase in Interest on notes payable from the issuance of $600 million of senior unsecured notes in May 2020, offset by the payoff of $300 million of senior unsecured notes in September 2020 together with the repayment of several mortgages; offset by

•

$2.3 million decrease in Interest on unsecured credit facilities primarily related to the January 2021 repayment of the $265 million term loan and reduced Line balance; and

•

$1.5 million decrease in Hedge expense as two of our previously settled forward swaps hedging our ten-year notes fully amortized in 2020.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized $132.1 million of Goodwill impairment, due to the significant market and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we had no provision for impairment of real estate. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized provision for impairment of real estate of $784,000 on one operating property and one land parcel.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recognized gains on sale of $11.7 million for one land parcel, two operating properties, and the receipt of property insurance proceeds. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we recognized gains on sale of $38.0 million from one land parcel, two operating properties, receipt of property insurance proceeds, and the re-measurement gain from the acquisition of controlling interest in a previously held equity investment.

Net investment income increased $6.4 million primarily driven by changes in unrealized gains and losses of plan assets held in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. There is an offsetting adjustment in General and administrative costs related to participant obligations within the deferred compensation plans.

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

		Three months ended March 31,

Total equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships		$	11,666		11,418		248

The $248,000 increase in our equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships is largely attributable to the following:

•

$1.1 million decrease within GRIR primarily due to $1.5 million of additional termination fee income earned in 2020; offset by

•

$610,000 increase within NYC primarily due to gains recognized in 2021 on the sale of operating real estate, and

•

$575,000 increase within Other investments in real estate partnerships as two new developments were completed and began operations in 2020.

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

Supplemental Earnings Information

We use certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to certain performance metrics determined under GAAP, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the Company's operating results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our

consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results under GAAP. We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of operating results, along with other non-GAAP measures, may assist in comparing the Company’s operating results to other REITs. 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. See “Non-GAAP Measures” at the beginning of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

We do not consider non-GAAP measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management’s judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of the Company.

⁽¹⁾	Represents amounts included within Lease income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations that are contractually billable to the tenants per the terms of the lease agreements.

Billable Base rent decreased $4.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to loss of rents from bankruptcies and tenant move-outs, partially offset by contractual rent steps in existing leases.

Termination fees decreased $1.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, primarily due to strategic changes in anchor merchandising mix during 2020.

Uncollectible lease income decreased $5.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Uncollectible lease income on current period billings was higher compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 when we were only seeing the first indications of the pandemic’s impact on our tenants. This higher uncollectible lease income was offset by collections of prior period billings from our cash basis tenants resulting in a net positive impact of $1.9 million. Current rent collection rates are lower than pre-pandemic levels, although we continue to see sequential quarter improvements.

Operating and maintenance increased $2.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2021, due primarily to an increase in insurance premiums and legal costs.

Real estate taxes increased $683,000 during the three months ended March 31, 2021, due to changes in assessed values at properties across our portfolio.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We use cash flows generated from operating, investing, and financing activities to strengthen our balance sheet, finance our development and redevelopment projects, fund our investment activities, and maintain financial flexibility. We continuously monitor the capital markets and evaluate our ability to issue new debt or equity, to repay maturing debt, or to fund our capital commitments.

Except for $200 million of private placement debt, our Parent Company has no capital commitments other than its guarantees of the commitments of our Operating Partnership. All remaining debt is held by our Operating Partnership or by our co-investment partnerships. The Operating Partnership is a co-issuer and a guarantor of the $200 million of outstanding debt of our Parent Company. 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.

We continue to monitor our tenant cash collections amidst the continuing pandemic. Our base rent collection experience since the pandemic began has been lower than historical pre-pandemic averages, but has increased since its low in the second quarter of 2020 as businesses reopen in states that have lifted or reduced operating restrictions. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, base rent collections were 93% through May 3, 2021. We expect that our collection rates will remain lower than historical pre-pandemic averages for the foreseeable future until restrictions are significantly lifted and consumers return to in-store experiences.

We draw on multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs, including the capital requirements of our in process and planned developments, redevelopments, and capital expenditures, and the repayment of debt. We expect to meet these needs by using one or more of the following: cash flow from operations, proceeds from the sale of real estate, mortgage loan and unsecured bank financing, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of equity or the issuance of new unsecured debt. We continually evaluate alternative financing options, and we believe we can obtain financing on reasonable terms; however, there can be no assurance that additional financing or capital will be available, or that the terms will be acceptable or advantageous to us.

We have no unsecured debt maturities until 2024 and a manageable level of secured mortgage maturities during the next 12 months, including those mortgages within our joint ventures. Based upon our available cash balance, sources of capital, our current credit ratings, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties we own, we believe our available capital resources are sufficient to meet our expected capital needs for the next 12 months.

In addition to our $137.2 million of unrestricted cash, we have the following additional sources of capital available:

(in thousands)	March 31, 2021
ATM equity program
Original offering amount	$	500,000

Maturity ⁽²⁾	March 23, 2025

⁽¹⁾

Net of letters of credit.

⁽²⁾

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

The declaration of dividends is determined quarterly by our Board of Directors. On May 5, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.595 per share, payable on July 6, 2021, to shareholders of record as of June 15, 2021. While future dividends will be determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors, 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. We have historically generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our dividend distributions. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we generated cash flow from operations of $139.4 million and $125.7 million, respectively, and paid $101.0 million and $99.9 million in dividends to our common stock and unit holders, respectively.

We currently have 13 development and redevelopment projects in various stages of construction, along with a pipeline of potential projects for future development or redevelopment. After funding our common stock dividend payment in April 2021, we estimate that we will require capital during the next twelve months of approximately $264.9 million to repay maturing debt not expected to be refinanced, to fund construction and related costs for committed tenant improvements and in-process development and redevelopment, and to make capital contributions to our co-investment partnerships. If we start new development or redevelopments, commit to new acquisitions, repay debt prior to maturity, or repurchase shares of our common stock, our cash requirements will increase. The $1.2 billion available on our Line together with having no unsecured debt maturities until 2024 strengthen our financial position enabling us to fund our expected near-term operating and capital expenditures amid the uncertainty of operating cash flows during this pandemic and recovery period.

We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. As of March 31, 2021, 89.7% 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 trailing twelve month Fixed charge coverage ratio, including our Pro-rata share of our partnerships, was 3.6x for both periods ended March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, and our Pro-rata net debt-to-operating EBITDAre ratio on a trailing twelve month basis was 5.9x and 6.0x, respectively, for the same periods. These ratios could worsen during 2021 as a result of further impacts from the COVID-19 pandemic.

Our Line 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, 2020. We are in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2021, and expect to remain in compliance.

Summary of Cash Flow Activity

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2021			2020			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	139,362			125,678			13,684

Total cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	139,320			736,845			(597,525	)

Net cash provided by operating activities:

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $13.7 million due to:

•

$23.9 million increase in cash from operating activities due to timing of real estate tax payments and a 2021 increase in prepaid rents, which were lower in March of 2020 going into the pandemic, partially offset by

•

$7.7 million decrease in cash from operating income due to lost rents from bankruptcies and tenant move-outs, and

•

$2.5 million decrease from cash paid in 2021 to settle interest rate swaps on our term loan which was repaid in January 2021.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	$	6,770			(2,553	)		9,323

Significant changes in investing activities include:

•

We paid $16.9 million for the acquisition of one operating property during 2020 and had no acquisitions during the same period in 2021.

•

We invested $24.9 million less in 2021 than the same period in 2020 on real estate development, redevelopment, and capital improvements, as further detailed in a table below.

•

We sold four operating properties and one land parcel in 2021 and received proceeds of $53.9 million compared to two operating properties and one land parcel in 2020 for proceeds of $103.5 million, including proceeds from repayment of a short-term note issued at closing and repaid during the same period.

•

We invested $20.2 million in our real estate partnerships during 2021, including:

$18.7 million to fund our share of debt payments, and

$1.5 million to fund our share of development and redevelopment activities.

During the same period in 2020, we invested $33.0 million, including:

$16.0 million to fund the acquisition of an additional equity interest in one partnership,

$10.6 million to fund our share of debt payments, and

$6.4 million to fund our share of development and redevelopment activities.

•

Return of capital from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships includes sales or financing proceeds. During the three months ended March 31, 2021 we received $2.2 million from our share of proceeds from real estate sales and $1.1 million from our share of proceeds from debt refinancing activities. We had no such distributions during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

•

Acquisition of securities and proceeds from sale of securities pertain to investment activities held in our captive insurance company and our deferred compensation plan.

We plan to continue developing and redeveloping shopping centers for long-term investment. During 2021, we deployed capital of $31.4 million for the development, redevelopment, and improvement of our real estate properties, comprised of the following:

	Three months ended March 31,
(in thousands)	2021		2020		Change
Capital expenditures:
Building and tenant improvements	$	7,261		11,488		(4,227	)
Redevelopment costs		16,159		30,768		(14,609	)
Development costs		4,400		6,406		(2,006	)
Capitalized interest		843		935		(92	)
Capitalized direct compensation		2,715		6,712		(3,997	)
Real estate development and capital improvements	$	31,378		56,309		(24,931	)

•

Building and tenant improvements decreased $4.2 million in 2021, primarily related to the timing of capital projects.

•

Redevelopment expenditures are lower in 2021 due to the timing and magnitude of projects currently in process. Subject to capital availability, we intend to continuously improve our portfolio of shopping centers through redevelopment which can include adjacent land acquisition, existing building expansion, facade renovation, new out-parcel building construction, and redevelopment related tenant improvement costs. The size and magnitude of each redevelopment project varies with each redevelopment plan. The timing and duration of these projects could also result in volatility in NOI. See the tables below for more details about our redevelopment projects.

•

Development expenditures are lower in 2021 due to the progress towards completion of our development projects currently in process. See the tables below for more details about our development projects.

•

Interest is capitalized on our development and redevelopment projects and is based on cumulative actual 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. If we reduce our development and redevelopment activity, the amount of interest that we capitalize may be lower than historical averages.

•

We have a staff of employees who directly support our development program, which includes redevelopment of our existing properties. Internal compensation costs directly attributable to these activities are capitalized as part of each project. In light of the current pandemic environment and its impact on the retail industry, we expect that our development activity could be significantly lower than pre-pandemic levels. As a result, we expect the amount of internal costs for development activities that may be capitalized could be significantly lower than historical amounts.

⁽¹⁾ Subsequent to March 31, 2021, our real estate partnerships refinanced $151.4 million of the 2021 maturing mortgages, with new borrowings of $197.0 million maturing in 2031. Additionally, the unsecured credit facility was extended to mature in 2022.

At March 31, 2021, our investments in real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.5 billion maturing through 2034, of which 91.6% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 4.0%. The remaining notes payable float with LIBOR and had a weighted average variable interest rate of 2.4%. These fixed and variable rate notes payable are all non-recourse, and our Pro-rata share was $513.3 million as of March 31, 2021. As notes payable mature, we expect they will be repaid from proceeds from new borrowings and/or partner capital contributions.

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.

Management fee income

In addition to earning our Pro-rata share of net income or loss in each of these co-investment partnerships, we receive fees, as shown below:

Environmental Matters

We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to our shopping centers pertaining primarily to specific chemicals historically used by certain current and former dry cleaning tenants and the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers. We believe that the few tenants who currently operate dry cleaning plants or gas stations do so in accordance with current laws and regulations. Generally, we endeavor to require tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers or convert them to more environmentally friendly systems, in accordance with the terms of our leases. 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 secured environmental insurance, where appropriate, on a relatively small number of 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, 2021, we had accrued liabilities of $7.8 million for our Pro-rata share of environmental remediation, including our Investments in real estate partnerships. We believe that the ultimate remediation of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. We can give no assurance that existing environmental studies on our shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contamination; that our estimate of liabilities will not change as more information becomes available; 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, which 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. During deflationary periods or periods of economic weakness, minimum rents and percentage rents may decline as the supply of available retail space exceeds demand and consumer spending declines. Occupancy declines may also result in lower recovery rates of our operating expenses.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We continuously monitor the capital markets and evaluate our ability to issue new debt, to repay maturing debt, or fund our commitments. Although the capital markets have experienced volatility related to the pandemic, we continue to believe, in light of our credit ratings, the capacity under our unsecured credit facility, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties that we own which could collateralize borrowings, we will be able to successfully issue new secured or unsecured debt to fund maturing debt obligations. However, the degree to which such capital market volatility will adversely impact the interest rates on any new debt that we may issue is uncertain. Otherwise, there have been no material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk disclosed in item 7A of Part II of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.
