(1)  NAREIT FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure commonly used in the real estate industry that we believe provides useful 

information to investors. Core FFO, also a non-GAAP financial measure, is an additional supplemental measure we use as it is more 
reflective of the core operating performance of our portfolio of properties. Please refer to Management’s Discussion and Analysis of 
Financial Condition and Results of Operations in the accompanying Form 10-K for a definition of NAREIT FFO and Core FFO, and 
for a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to NAREIT FFO and Core FFO.

2017 saw the media significantly expand their focus and coverage of the changing consumer shopping patterns.  
This was further fueled by Amazon’s purchase of Whole Foods.  The evolution of these shopping habits, although 
not new, began a debate on the future of retail real estate.  We continue to believe, as we have for several years, 
that the omni-channel retail model will be the successful retail format going forward.  Additionally, with Amazon’s 
purchase of Whole Foods, it confirms that good retail real estate is required to satisfy the consumer’s future 
demands.  Coupled with increasing interest rates, this resulted in a significant decline in the market value of all 
REITs, including retail REITs.  Given this backdrop, our accomplishments in 2017 were especially impressive as 
we shifted our external growth strategy while making sure we remained laser-focused on operating our existing 
portfolio and produced strong results in 2017, generating the following highlights:

•  Net income attributable to common shareholders (“Net Income”) was $2.60 per diluted share 

(hereinafter “per share”) for the year compared to $1.87 per share in 2016;

•  Core Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Core FFO”) increased 

4.7% to $2.45 per share for the year ended 2017 compared to 2016;

•  Common dividend per share increased 2.6% to $0.395 per quarter or $1.58 per share on an 

annualized basis; 

•  Signed occupancy increased to 94.8% from 94.3% a year ago;

•  Same Property Net Operating Income (“SPNOI”) including redevelopments increased 2.6% 

over the year ended 2016;

•  Rental rates on new leases and renewals completed during the year were up 23.1% and 

9.0%, respectively;

•  Dispositions totaled $444 million in 2017 and $221 million to-date in 2018; 

•  Balance sheet leverage was reduced with Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA of 5.3 times; and,

•  Invested $124 million in new development and redevelopment projects in 2017.

While we believe we will experience some headwinds going forward, the significant transformation of our portfolio 
over the last several years and the deleveraging of our balance sheet will allow us to move forward in a controlled, 
confident manner.  We believe that Weingarten Realty is properly positioned to generate solid returns to our 
shareholders while maintaining a very conservative risk profile going forward.

For the year ended December 31, 2017, Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders in 
accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts definition (“NAREIT FFO”) was $311.6 
million or $2.40 per share compared to $293.7 million or $2.28 per share for 2016.  Core FFO, which we consider 
to be the most important measure of our performance, was $318.4 million or $2.45 per share for 2017 compared 
to $300.9 million or $2.34 per share for 2016.  The increase is primarily due to increased income from the existing 
portfolio, specifically increases in base minimum rent and the full year effect of the significant acquisitions we 
closed in 2016.  Reduced interest expense from favorable debt refinancings completed in 2016, as well as a 
reduction in our outstanding debt from our 2017 dispositions also contributed to the increase; however, these 
increases were offset by the dilution from the issuance of additional common shares under our at-the-market 
equity offering program during 2016 and by our disposition program.

1

Among the most important operating metrics in our industry is SPNOI.  During 2017, SPNOI, including the impact 
of our redevelopment program, increased by 2.6% over 2016, driven primarily by an increase in base minimum 
rent.  Occupancy of our Same Property portfolio was 95.4%.  Occupancy of spaces greater than 10,000 square 
feet increased to 97.3% from 96.5% in the prior year as we filled most of the spaces vacated in 2016 due to 
tenant bankruptcies.  We also produced solid leasing results during 2017 with 1,043 new leases and renewals 
totaling 4.3 million square feet and representing $82.4 million of annualized revenue.  The high quality of our 
transformed portfolio allowed us to demand higher rents in our lease negotiations, which resulted in average rental 
rate increases on new leases and renewals signed during the year of 11.6%, with rental rates on new leases up a 
very strong 23.1% and renewals up 9.0%.

We continue to move 
forward on an exciting 
redevelopment project 
at our prominent River 
Oaks Shopping Center 
in Houston, Texas, 
where we are planning 
a 30-story luxury 
high-rise with around 
10,000 square feet of 
ground floor retail.  

N E W   D E V E L O P M E N T / R E D E V E L O P M E N T   P R O G R E S S I O N

We are making great progress on all of our projects under development.  
West Alex, formerly known as Gateway Alexandria, is our mixed-use 
development in Alexandria, Virginia.  This project will include 278 multi-
family units, 100,000 square feet of retail anchored by a 62,000 square 
foot Harris Teeter grocery store.  Our net investment upon completion is 
estimated at $197 million. 

In the second quarter, we closed on the land for Centro Arlington, 
formerly known as Columbia Pike, a mixed-use project in Arlington, 
Virginia that we are developing in partnership with a prominent 
residential developer.  This project will include 366 multi-family units 
and 72,000 square feet of retail also anchored by a 52,000 square foot 
Harris Teeter grocery store.  The Company’s share of the net investment 
upon completion is estimated at $135 million before the sale of the 
residential component, based on an ownership interest of 90%.  

The Whittaker in West Seattle, Washington is a six-story, mixed-use 
project that has been co-developed with Lennar.  Our 63,000 square 
foot retail portion was delivered to us in early 2017 and is anchored by 
Whole Foods and is currently 93% leased.  

We continue to move forward on an exciting redevelopment project at our prominent River Oaks Shopping Center 
in Houston, Texas, where we are planning a 30-story luxury high-rise with around 10,000 square feet of ground 
floor retail.  The tower will include over 300 residential units, and the total project cost, including a parking garage, 
will approximate $150 million.  This is an incredible infill location adjacent to a premier residential community 
in Houston.  This addition to our property will clearly benefit all of our merchants and greatly enhance the value 
of this already outstanding asset.  We expect to break ground around the third quarter of 2018 with stabilization 
estimated in 2021.

We also have 15 active redevelopment projects, not including our River Oaks residential tower, where we will invest 
about $80 million at an average return of around 11%.  During 2017, we invested about $24 million in these 
redevelopment projects.  With numerous additional projects in the pipeline, redevelopments will continue to be an 
important investment vehicle for us in the future.

With the differential between the value of our properties in the private real estate market and what the implied 
value is based on our share price or public valuations, we feel the sale of additional properties was the best capital 
allocation in 2017.  As such, we sold properties totaling $444 million in 2017 and have closed on an additional 
$221 million to-date in 2018.  We have focused on improving the overall quality of our portfolio by reducing 

2

3

our exposure to tertiary markets and power centers while at the same time providing capital for future growth, 
including our redevelopment and new development programs.  We have also utilized these disposition proceeds to 
pay down debt, which reduced both our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA to a very strong 5.3 times and Debt to Total 
Market Capitalization to 32.8% at year-end.  Our debt maturities remain very favorably laddered with no significant 
maturities through 2020.

If our share price continues to trade at significant discount to our net asset value (NAV), we will also consider 
repurchasing a modest amount of our common shares, however we are extremely focused on maintaining low 
leverage and a fortress balance sheet.  We will also continue to pursue quality acquisition opportunities, but the 
environment remains extremely competitive.  

With the significant gains generated by our 2017 dispositions, we paid a special dividend in December 2017 of 
$0.75 per share and given our disposition activity to-date in 2018, we will likely also pay a special dividend this year.  

S U S TA I N A B I L I T Y

We recognize environmental responsibility as an obligation and an opportunity to add long-term value to our 
properties and to benefit our patrons, tenants and investors.  As such, we created the GreenForward program in 
order to officially implement and track sustainable initiatives across our portfolio.  We commit ourselves to being 
a corporate partner to the environment and the community we serve.  Our Corporate Responsibility Report is 
available online for an in-depth look at our sustainability initiatives and accomplishments.

We expect challenges in our business, however our portfolio is significantly 
stronger than it has ever been and continues to improve as we dispose of 
assets with higher risk profiles.  Accordingly, we feel good about the ability of 
our portfolio to produce solid results again in 2018 and beyond.  

As always, we thank our associates and our Board of Trust Managers for their 
incredible efforts and renew our pledge to you, our investors, to continue to 
do everything possible to enhance long-term shareholder value. 

We feel good about 
the ability of our 
portfolio to produce 
solid results again 
in 2018 and beyond.

Forward-Looking Statements

This annual report on Form 10-K, together with other statements and information publicly disseminated by us, contains 
certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and 
Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-looking statements to be 
covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation 
Reform Act of 1995 and include this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. Forward-
looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, 
are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar 
expressions.  You  should  not  rely  on  forward-looking  statements  since  they  involve  known  and  unknown  risks, 
uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, beyond our control and which could materially affect actual 
results,  performances  or  achievements.  Factors  which  may  cause  actual  results  to  differ  materially  from  current 
expectations include, but are not limited to, (i) disruptions in financial markets, (ii) general economic and local real 
estate conditions, (iii) the inability of major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency 
or general downturn in their business, (iv) financing risks, such as the inability to obtain equity, debt, or other sources 
of financing on favorable terms and changes in LIBOR availability, (v) changes in governmental laws and regulations, 
(vi) the level and volatility of interest rates, (vii) the availability of suitable acquisition opportunities, (viii) the ability to 
dispose of properties, (ix) changes in expected development activity, (x) increases in operating costs, (xi) tax matters, 
including the effect of changes in tax laws and the failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust, and (xii) investments 
through real estate joint ventures and partnerships, which involve risks not present in investments in which we are the 
sole investor. Accordingly, there is no assurance that our expectations will be realized. For further discussion of the 
factors that could materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements and our future results and financial 
condition, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”

PART I

ITEM 1. Business

General Development of Business.    Weingarten Realty Investors is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) organized 
under the Texas Business Organizations Code. We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership of shopping 
centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping 
centers we own or lease. We also provide property management services for which we charge fees to either joint 
ventures where we are partners or other outside owners.

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 and 
the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for 
the year ended December 31, 2017, for information on certain recent developments of the Company. 

Financial Information about Segments.    We are in the business of owning, managing and developing retail shopping 
centers. As each of our centers has similar characteristics and amenities, our operations have been aggregated into 
one  reportable  segment.  See  the  Consolidated  Financial  Statements  and  Notes  thereto  included  in  Item 8  of  this 
Annual Report on Form 10-K for further information regarding reportable segments.

Narrative Description of Business.    At December 31, 2017, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either 
directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 204 properties, which are located 
in  17  states  spanning  the  country  from  coast  to  coast.  The  portfolio  of  properties  contains  approximately  41.3 
million square feet of gross leasable area that is either owned by us or others. 

We also owned interests in 25 parcels of land held for development that totaled approximately 18.0 million square 
feet.

At December 31, 2017, we employed 281 full-time persons; our principal executive offices are located at 2600 Citadel 
Plaza Drive, Houston, Texas 77008; and our phone number is (713) 866-6000. We also have 10 regional offices located 
in various parts of the United States (“U.S.”).

Investment and Operating Strategy.    Our goal is to remain a leader in owning and operating top-tier neighborhood 
and community shopping centers in certain markets of the U.S. We expect to achieve this goal by:

• 

• 

raising net asset value and cash flows through quality acquisitions, redevelopments and new developments; 

strategic focus on core operating fundamentals through our decentralized operating platform built on local 
expertise in leasing and property management; 

1

Table of Contents

• 

• 

• 

disciplined growth from strategic acquisitions and new developments; 

disposition of assets that no longer meet our ownership criteria, in which proceeds may be recycled by repaying 
debt, purchasing new assets or reinvesting in currently owned assets or for other corporate purposes; and 

commitment to maintaining a conservatively leveraged balance sheet, strong liquidity, a well-staggered debt 
maturity schedule and strong credit agency ratings.

We may either purchase, develop or lease income-producing properties in the future, and may also participate with 
other entities in property ownership through partnerships, joint ventures or similar types of co-ownership. 

We may invest in mortgages; however, we have traditionally invested in first mortgages to real estate joint ventures 
or partnerships in which we own an equity interest or to obtain control over a real estate asset that we desire to own. 
We may also invest in securities of other issuers for the purpose, among others, of exercising control over such entities, 
subject to the gross income and asset tests necessary for REIT qualification.

In acquiring and developing properties, we attempt to accumulate enough properties in a geographic area to allow for 
the establishment of a regional office, which enables us to obtain in-depth knowledge of the market from a leasing 
perspective and to have easy access to the property and our tenants from a management viewpoint.

We expect to continue our focus on the future growth of the portfolio in neighborhood and community shopping centers 
in markets where we currently operate throughout the U.S. Our markets of interest reflect high income and job growth, 
as well as high barriers-to-entry. Our attention is also focused on high quality, supermarket-anchored and necessity-
based centers, which may include mixed-use properties containing this type of retail component.

Diversification from both a geographic and tenancy perspective is a critical component of our operating strategy. Our 
largest markets are located in California, Florida and Texas, which represent 11.2%, 18.0% and 28.4%, respectively, 
of our total properties' gross leasable area. With respect to tenant diversification, our two largest tenants, The Kroger 
Co. and TJX Companies, Inc., accounted for 2.8% and 2.3%, respectively, of our total base minimum rental revenues 
for the year ended December 31, 2017. No other tenant accounted for more than 1.9% of our total base minimum 
rental revenues. Our anchor tenants are supermarkets, value-oriented apparel/discount stores and other retailers or 
service providers who generally sell basic necessity-type goods and services. We believe the stability of our anchor 
tenants, combined with convenient locations, attractive and well-maintained properties, high quality retailers and a 
strong tenant mix, should ensure the long-term success of our merchants and the viability of our portfolio.

Strategically, we strive to finance our growth and working capital needs in a conservative manner, including managing 
our debt maturities. Our senior debt credit ratings were BBB with a projected stable outlook from Standard & Poors 
and Baa1 with a projected stable outlook from Moody’s Investor Services as of December 31, 2017. We intend to 
maintain a conservative approach to managing our balance sheet, which, in turn, should give us many options for 
raising debt or equity capital when needed. At December 31, 2017 and 2016, our ratio of earnings to combined fixed 
charges and preferred dividends as defined by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), not based on funds 
from operations attributable to common shareholders, was 4.74 to 1 and 4.05 to 1, respectively. Our debt to total assets 
before depreciation ratio was 38.6% and 42.0% at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

We have a $200 million share repurchase plan under which we may repurchase common shares of beneficial interest 
("common  shares")  from  time-to-time  in  open-market  or  privately  negotiated  purchases  based  on  management's 
evaluation of market conditions and other factors. 

Our policies with respect to the investment and operating strategies discussed above are periodically reviewed by our 
Board of Trust Managers and may be modified without a vote of our shareholders.

Location of Properties.    Our properties are located in 17 states, principally in the South, West Coast and Southeast 
Coast of the U.S. As of December 31, 2017, we have 204 properties that were owned or operated under long-term 
leases, either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships. Total revenues generated by 
our centers located in Houston and its surrounding areas was 19.6% of total revenue for the year ended December 
31, 2017, and an additional 9.2% of total revenue was generated in 2017 from centers that are located in other parts 
of Texas. An additional 17.5% and 16.7%, respectively, of total revenue was generated in 2017 in Florida and California. 
As of December 31, 2017, we also had 25 parcels of land held for development, six of which were located in Houston 
and its surrounding areas and 11 of which were located in other parts of Texas. Because of our investments in Texas, 
including Houston and its surrounding areas, Florida and California, these economies could affect our business and 
operations more so than in other geographic areas.

Competition.    We compete with numerous other developers and real estate companies (both public and private), 
financial institutions and other investors engaged in the development, acquisition and operation of shopping centers 
in our trade areas. This results in competition for the acquisition of both existing income-producing properties and 
prime development sites.

We also compete for tenants to occupy the space that is developed, acquired and managed by our competitors. The 
principal  competitive  factors  in  attracting  tenants  in  our  market  areas  are  location,  price,  anchor  tenants  and 
maintenance of properties. We believe our key competitive advantages include the favorable locations of our properties, 
the strong demographics surrounding our centers, knowledge of markets and customer bases, our ability to provide 
a retailer with multiple locations with quality anchor tenants and the practice of continuous maintenance and renovation 
of our properties.

Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust.    As of December 31, 2017, we met the qualification requirements of 
a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code, as amended. As a result, we will not be subject to federal income tax to the 
extent we meet certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, with the exception of our taxable REIT subsidiary.

Financial  Information.    Additional  financial  information  concerning  us  is  included  in  the  Consolidated  Financial 
Statements located in Item 8 herein.

ITEM 1A. Risk Factors

The risks described below could materially and adversely affect our shareholders and our results of operations, financial 
condition, liquidity and cash flows. In addition to these risks, our operations may also be affected by additional factors 
not presently known or that we currently consider immaterial to our operations.

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our liquidity and have other adverse effects on us and the 
market price of our common shares of beneficial interest.

The U.S. and global equity and credit markets have experienced and may in the future experience significant price 
volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which could cause market prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially 
and the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably. These circumstances could materially impact 
liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in certain cases result in the 
unavailability of certain types of financing. Uncertainties in the equity and credit markets may negatively impact our 
ability to access additional financing at reasonable terms or at all, which may negatively affect our ability to complete 
dispositions, form joint ventures or refinance our debt. A prolonged downturn in the equity or credit markets could 
cause us to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing, and require us to adjust our business plan 
accordingly. In addition, these factors may make it more difficult for us to sell properties or adversely affect the price 
we  receive  for  properties  that  we  do  sell,  as  prospective  buyers  may  experience  increased  costs  of  financing  or 
difficulties in obtaining financing. These events in the equity and credit markets may make it more difficult or costly for 
us to raise capital through the issuance of our common shares or preferred shares. These disruptions in the financial 
markets also may have a material adverse effect on the market value of our common shares and other adverse effects 
on us or the economy generally. There can be no assurances that government responses to any disruptions in the 
financial markets would restore consumer confidence, maintain stabilized markets or provide the availability of equity 
or credit financing.

Table of Contents

Among the market conditions that may affect the value of our common shares and access to the capital markets are 
the following:

•  The attractiveness of REIT securities as compared to other securities, including securities issued by other real 

estate companies, fixed income equity securities and debt securities;

•  Changes  in  revenues  or  earnings  estimates  or  publication  of  research  reports  and  recommendations  by 

financial analysts or actions taken by rating agencies with respect to our securities or those of other REITs;

•  The degree of interest held by institutional investors;

•  The market's perception of the quality of our assets and our growth potential;

•  The ability of our tenants to pay rent to us and meet their other obligations to us under current lease terms;

•  Our ability to re-lease space as leases expire;

•  Our ability to refinance our indebtedness as it matures;

•  Actual or anticipated quarterly fluctuations in our operating results and financial condition;

•  Any changes in our dividend policy;

•  Any future issuances of equity securities;

•  Strategic actions by us or our competitors, such as acquisitions or restructurings;

•  General market conditions and, in particular, developments related to market conditions for the real estate 

industry; and

•  Domestic and international economic and political factors unrelated to our performance.

The volatility in the stock market can create price and volume fluctuations that may not necessarily be comparable to 
operating performance.

The economic performance and value of our shopping centers depend on many factors, each of which could 
have an adverse impact on our cash flows and operating results.

The economic performance and value of our properties can be affected by many factors, including the following:

•  Changes in the national, regional and local economic climate;

•  Changes in existing laws and regulations, including environmental regulatory requirements including, but not 
limited to, legislation on global warming, trade reform, health care reform, employment laws and immigration 
laws;

• 

Local conditions such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area;

•  The attractiveness of the properties to tenants;

•  Competition from other available space;

•  Competition for our tenants from Internet sales and shifts in consumer shopping patterns;

•  Our ability to provide adequate management services and to maintain our properties;

• 

Increased operating costs, if these costs cannot be passed through to tenants;

•  The cost of periodically renovating, repairing and releasing spaces;

•  The consequences of any armed conflict involving, or terrorist attack against, the U.S.;

•  Our ability to secure adequate insurance;

•  Fluctuations in interest rates;

•  Changes in real estate taxes and other expenses; and

•  Availability of financing on acceptable terms or at all.

Table of Contents

Our properties consist primarily of neighborhood and community shopping centers and, therefore, our performance is 
linked to general economic conditions in the market for retail space. The market for retail space has been and could 
in the future be adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies where our properties 
are located, the adverse financial condition of some large retail companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail 
sector, the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets and increasing consumer purchases through the 
Internet. To the extent that any of these conditions exist, they are likely to affect market rents for retail space. In addition, 
we may face challenges in the management and maintenance of the properties or encounter increased operating 
costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, which may make our properties unattractive to tenants. A 
significant decrease in rental revenue and an inability to replace such revenues may adversely affect our profitability, 
the ability to meet debt and other financial obligations and pay dividends to shareholders.

We have properties that are geographically concentrated, and adverse economic or other conditions in that 
area could have a material adverse effect on us.

We  are  particularly  susceptible  to  adverse  economic  or  other  conditions  in  markets  where  our  properties  are 
concentrated, including California, Florida and Texas. These adverse conditions include increased unemployment, 
industry slowdowns, including declining oil prices, business layoffs or downsizing, decreases in consumer confidence, 
relocations of businesses, changes in demographics, increases in real estate and other taxes, increases in regulations 
and natural disasters, any of which could have an increased material adverse effect on us than if our portfolio was 
more geographically diverse.

Our acquisition activities may not produce the cash flows that we expect and may be limited by competitive 
pressures or other factors.

We  intend  to  acquire  existing  commercial  properties  to  the  extent  that  suitable  acquisitions  can  be  made  on 
advantageous terms. Acquisitions of commercial properties involve risks such as:

•  We may have difficulty identifying acquisition opportunities that fit our investment strategy;

•  Our estimates on expected occupancy and rental rates may differ from actual conditions;

•  Our estimates of the costs of any redevelopment or repositioning of acquired properties may prove to be 

inaccurate;

•  We may be unable to operate successfully in new markets where acquired properties are located, due to a 

lack of market knowledge or understanding of local economies;

•  We may be unable to successfully integrate new properties into our existing operations; or

•  We may have difficulty obtaining financing on acceptable terms or paying the operating expenses and debt 

service associated with acquired properties prior to sufficient occupancy.

In addition, we may not be in a position or have the opportunity in the future to make suitable property acquisitions on 
advantageous terms due to competition for such properties with others engaged in real estate investment. Our inability 
to successfully acquire new properties may have an adverse effect on our results of operations.

Turmoil in capital markets could adversely impact acquisition activities and pricing of real estate assets.

Volatility in the capital markets could impact the availability of debt financing due to numerous factors, including the 
tightening of underwriting standards by lenders and credit rating agencies. These factors directly affect a lender’s 
ability to provide debt financing as well as increase the cost of available debt financing. As a result, we may not be 
able to obtain debt financing on favorable terms or at all. This may result in future acquisitions generating lower overall 
economic  returns,  which  may  adversely  affect  our  results  of  operations  and  dividends  paid  to  shareholders. 
Furthermore, any turmoil in the capital markets could adversely impact the overall amount of capital available to invest 
in real estate, which may result in price or value decreases of real estate assets.

5

Table of Contents

Our real estate assets may be subject to impairment charges.

Periodically, we assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate assets, including any capitalized 
costs and any identifiable intangible assets, may be impaired. A property's value is impaired only if the estimate of the 
aggregate future undiscounted cash flows without interest charges to be generated by the property are less than the 
carrying value of the property. In estimating cash flows, we consider factors such as expected future operating income, 
trends and prospects, the effects of demand, competition and other factors. If we are evaluating the potential sale of 
an  asset  or  development/redevelopment  alternatives,  the  undiscounted  future  cash  flows  consider  the  most  likely 
course of action at the balance sheet date based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market 
information. Determining whether a property is impaired and, if impaired, the amount of write-down to fair value requires 
a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information available to management at 
the time of evaluation. If market conditions deteriorate or management’s plans for certain properties change, additional 
write-downs could be required in the future, and any future impairment could have a material adverse effect on our 
results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken.

Reduction of rental income would adversely affect our profitability, our ability to meet our debt obligations 
and our ability to pay dividends to our shareholders.

The substantial majority of our income is derived from rental income from real property. As a result, our performance 
depends on our ability to collect rent from tenants. Our income and funds to pay dividends would be negatively affected 
if a significant number of our tenants, or any of our major tenants (as discussed in more detail below):

•  Delay lease commencements;

•  Decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration;

•  Fail to make rental payments when due; or

•  Close stores or declare bankruptcy.

Any of these actions could result in the termination of the tenants’ lease and the loss of rental income attributable to 
the terminated leases. In addition, lease terminations by an anchor tenant or a failure by that anchor tenant to occupy 
the premises could also result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants in the same shopping center 
under the terms of some leases. In these events, we cannot be sure that any tenant whose lease expires will renew 
that lease or that we will be able to re-lease space on economically advantageous terms. Furthermore, certain costs 
remain fixed even though a property may not be fully occupied. The loss of rental revenues from a number of our 
tenants and our inability to replace such tenants, particularly in the case of a substantial tenant with leases in multiple 
locations, may adversely affect our profitability, our ability to meet debt and other financial obligations and our ability 
to pay dividends to the shareholders.

Adverse effects on the success and stability of our anchor tenants, could lead to reductions of rental income. 

Our rental income could be adversely affected in the event of a downturn in the business, or the bankruptcy or insolvency 
of,  any  anchor  store  or  anchor  tenant. Anchor  tenants  generally  occupy  large  amounts  of  square  footage,  pay  a 
significant portion of the total rents at a property and contribute to the success of other tenants by drawing significant 
numbers of customers to a property. The closing of one or more anchor stores at a property could adversely affect 
that  property  and  result  in  lease  terminations  or  reductions  in  rent  from  other  tenants,  whose  leases  may  permit 
termination or rent reduction in those circumstances or whose own operations may suffer as a result. Furthermore, 
tenant demand for certain of our anchor spaces may decrease, and as a result, we may see an increase in vacancy 
and/or a decrease in rents for those spaces, which could have a negative impact to our rental income.

Adverse effects resulting from a shift in retail shopping from brick and mortar stores to online shopping may 
impact our operating results.

Online sales for many retailers has become a fundamental part of their business in addition to operating brick and 
mortar stores. Additionally, online sales from companies without physical stores has increased significantly. Although 
many of the retailers operating in our properties sell groceries, value-oriented apparel and other necessity-based type 
goods or provide services, including entertainment and dining, the shift to online shopping may cause certain of our 
tenants to reduce the size or number of their retail locations in the future. As a result, this could negatively affect our 
ability to lease space and our operating results.

Table of Contents

We  face  significant  competition  in  the  leasing  market,  which  may  decrease  or  prevent  increases  in  the 
occupancy and rental rates of our properties.

We compete with numerous developers, owners and operators of retail properties, many of which own properties 
similar to, and in the same market sectors as, our properties. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current 
market rates, or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose existing or potential tenants, or 
we may be forced to reduce rental rates in order to attract new tenants and retain existing tenants when their leases 
expire. 

Also, if our competitors develop additional retail properties in locations near our properties, there may be increased 
competition for customer traffic and creditworthy tenants, which may result in fewer tenants or decreased cash flows 
from tenants, or both, and may require us to make capital improvements to properties that we would not have otherwise 
made. Our tenants also face increasing competition from other forms of marketing of goods, such as direct mail and 
Internet marketing, which may decrease cash flow from such tenants. As a result, our financial condition and our ability 
to pay dividends to our shareholders may be adversely affected.

We may be unable to collect balances due from tenants in bankruptcy.

A tenant that files for bankruptcy protection may not continue to pay us rent. A bankruptcy filing by or relating to one 
of our tenants or a lease guarantor would bar all efforts by us to collect pre-bankruptcy debts from the tenant or the 
lease guarantor, or their property, unless the bankruptcy court permits us to do so. A tenant or lease guarantor bankruptcy 
could delay our efforts to collect past due balances under the relevant leases and could ultimately preclude collection 
of these sums. If a lease is rejected by a tenant in bankruptcy, we would have only a general unsecured claim for 
damages. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims 
it holds, if at all.

Our development, redevelopment and construction activities could adversely affect our operating results.

We intend to continue the selective development, redevelopment and construction of retail properties in accordance 
with  our  development  and  underwriting  policies  as  opportunities  arise.  Our  development,  redevelopment  and 
construction activities include risks that:

•  We may abandon development opportunities after expending resources to determine feasibility;

•  Construction costs of a project may exceed our original estimates;

•  Occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed or redeveloped property may not be sufficient to make the 

property profitable;

•  Rental rates could be less than projected;

•  Project  completion  may  be  delayed  because  of  a  number  of  factors,  including  weather,  labor  disruptions, 
construction delays or delays in receipt of zoning or other regulatory approvals, adverse economic conditions, 
acts of terror or other acts of violence, or acts of God (such as fires, earthquakes or floods);

•  Financing may not be available to us on favorable terms for development or redevelopment of a property; and

•  We may not complete construction and lease-up on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense 

and construction costs.

Additionally, the time frame required for development, redevelopment, construction and lease-up of these properties 
means that we may have to wait years for a significant cash return. If any of the above events occur, the development 
and redevelopment of properties may hinder our growth and have an adverse effect on our results of operations, 
including  additional  impairment  charges. Also,  new  development  activities,  regardless  of  whether  or  not  they  are 
ultimately successful, typically require substantial time and attention from management.

7

Table of Contents

There is a lack of operating history with respect to any recent acquisitions and redevelopment or development 
of properties, and we may not succeed in the integration or management of additional properties.

These properties may have characteristics or deficiencies currently unknown to us that affect their value or revenue 
potential. It is also possible that the operating performance of these properties may decline under our management. 
We also may not have the experience in developing and managing mixed-use properties and may need to rely on 
external resources which may not perform as we expected. As we acquire additional properties, we will be subject to 
risks  associated  with  managing  new  properties,  including  lease-up  and  tenant  retention.  In  addition,  our  ability  to 
manage  our  growth  effectively  will  require  us  to  successfully  integrate  any  new  acquisitions  into  our  existing 
management structure. We may not succeed with this integration or effectively manage additional properties. Also, 
newly acquired properties may not perform as expected.

Real estate property investments are illiquid, and therefore, we may not be able to dispose of properties when 
desirable or on favorable terms.

Real estate property investments generally cannot be disposed of quickly. In addition, the Internal Revenue Code 
imposes restrictions on the ability of a REIT to dispose of properties that are not applicable to other types of real estate 
companies. Our ability to dispose of properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including 
competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties, and we 
cannot predict the various market conditions affecting real estate investments that will exist at any particular time in 
the future. Therefore, we may not be able to quickly vary our portfolio in response to economic or other conditions 
promptly or on favorable terms, which could cause us to incur extended losses and reduce our cash flows and adversely 
affect dividends paid to shareholders.

As part of our capital recycling program, we intend to sell our non-core assets and may not be able to recover 
our investments, which may result in losses to us. 

There can be no assurance that we will be able to recover the current carrying amount of all of our owned and partially 
owned non-core properties and investments in the future. Our failure to do so would require us to recognize impairment 
charges in the period in which we reached that conclusion, which could adversely affect our business, financial condition, 
operating results and cash flows.

Credit ratings may not reflect all the risks of an investment in our debt or equity securities and rating changes 
could adversely effect our revolving credit facility.

Our credit ratings are an assessment by rating agencies of our ability to pay our debts when due. Consequently, real 
or anticipated changes in our credit ratings will generally affect the market value of our debt. Credit ratings may be 
revised or withdrawn at any time by the rating agency at its sole discretion. Additionally, our revolving credit facility 
fees are based on our credit ratings. We do not undertake any obligation to maintain the ratings or to advise holders 
of our debt of any change in ratings. Each agency's rating should be evaluated independently of any other agency's 
rating.

There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. Adverse changes in our credit 
ratings could impair our ability to obtain additional debt and equity financing on favorable terms, if at all, and could 
significantly reduce the market price of our publicly-traded securities.

Our cash flows and operating results could be adversely affected by required payments of debt or related 
interest and other risks of our debt financing.

We are generally subject to risks associated with debt financing. These risks include:

•  Our cash flow may not satisfy required payments of principal and interest;

•  We may not be able to refinance existing indebtedness on our properties as necessary or the terms of the 

refinancing may be less favorable to us than the terms of existing debt;

•  Required debt payments are not reduced if the economic performance of any property declines;

•  Debt service obligations could reduce funds available for dividends to our shareholders and funds available 

for capital investment;

•  Any default on our indebtedness could result in acceleration of those obligations and possible loss of property 

to foreclosure; and

8

Table of Contents

•  The risk that capital expenditures necessary for purposes such as re-leasing space cannot be financed on 

favorable terms.

If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and we cannot make the mortgage payments, we may 
have to surrender the property to the lender with a consequent loss of any prospective income and equity value from 
such property. Any of these risks can place strains on our cash flows, reduce our ability to grow and adversely affect 
our results of operations.

We may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices or the method in which LIBOR is 
determined.

As of December 31, 2017, we had outstanding approximately $217.9 million of debt that was indexed to the London 
Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”); however, we have swapped $200 million of that amount to a fixed rate. On July 27, 
2017, the Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) announced its intention to phase out LIBOR rates by the end of 
2021. It is not possible to predict the further effect of the rules of the FCA, any changes in the methods by which LIBOR 
is determined, or any other reforms to LIBOR that may be enacted in the United Kingdom, the European Union or 
elsewhere. Any such developments may cause LIBOR to perform differently than in the past, or cease to exist. In 
addition, any other legal or regulatory changes made by the FCA, ICE Benchmark Administration Limited, the European 
Money Markets Institute (formerly Euribor-EBF), the European Commission or any other successor governance or 
oversight body, or future changes adopted by such body, in the method by which LIBOR is determined or the transition 
from LIBOR to a successor benchmark may result in, among other things, a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease 
in  LIBOR,  a  delay  in  the  publication  of  LIBOR,  and  changes  in  the  rules  or  methodologies  in  LIBOR,  which  may 
discourage market participants from continuing to administer or to participate in LIBOR’s determination, and, in certain 
situations, could result in LIBOR no longer being determined and published. If a published U.S. dollar LIBOR rate is 
unavailable after 2021, the interest rates on our debt which is indexed to LIBOR will be determined using various 
alternative methods, any of which may result in interest obligations which are more than or do not otherwise correlate 
over time with the payments that would have been made on such debt if U.S. dollar LIBOR was available in its current 
form. Further, the same costs and risks that may lead to the discontinuation or unavailability of U.S. dollar LIBOR may 
make one or more of the alternative methods impossible or impracticable to determine. Any of these proposals or 
consequences could have a material adverse effect on our financing costs.

Rising interest rates could increase our borrowing costs, thereby adversely affecting our cash flows and the 
amounts available for dividends to our shareholders, and decrease our share price, if investors seek higher 
yields through other investments.

We have indebtedness with interest rates that vary depending on market indices. Also, our credit facilities bear interest 
at variable rates. We may incur variable-rate debt in the future. Increases in interest rates on variable-rate debt would 
increase our interest expense, which would negatively affect net income and cash available for payment of our debt 
obligations and dividends to shareholders. In addition, an increase in interest rates could adversely affect the market 
value of our outstanding debt, as well as increase the cost of refinancing and the issuance of new debt or securities. 
An environment of rising interest rates could also lead holders of our securities to seek higher yields through other 
investments, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares. One of the factors which may influence the 
price of our shares in public markets is the annual dividend rate we pay as compared with the yields on alternative 
investments.

Our financial condition could be adversely affected by financial covenants.

Our credit facilities and public debt indentures under which our indebtedness is, or may be, issued contain certain 
financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, certain coverage ratios, as well as limitations on our 
ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, restrictions on our ability to sell all or substantially all of our assets 
and engage in mergers and consolidations and certain acquisitions. These covenants could limit our ability to obtain 
additional funds needed to address cash shortfalls or pursue growth opportunities or transactions that would provide 
substantial return to our shareholders. In addition, a breach of these covenants could cause a default under or accelerate 
some or all of our indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition.

9

Table of Contents

Property  ownership  through  real  estate  partnerships  and  joint  ventures  could  limit  our  control  of  those 
investments and reduce our expected return.

Real estate partnership or joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made 
solely by us, including the possibility that our partner or co-venturer might become bankrupt, that our partner or co-
venturer might at any time have different interests or goals than us, and that our partner or co-venturer may take action 
contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives. Other risks of joint venture investments could include 
impasse on decisions, such as a sale or refinance, because neither our partner or co-venturer nor we would have full 
control over the partnership or joint venture. These factors could limit the return that we receive from those investments 
or cause our cash flows to be lower than our estimates. 

Volatility in market and economic conditions may impact our partners’ ability to perform in accordance with 
our real estate joint venture and partnership agreements resulting in a change in control or the liquidation 
plans of its underlying properties.

Changes in control of our investments could result if any reconsideration events occur, such as amendments to our 
real estate joint venture and partnership agreements, changes in debt guarantees or changes in ownership due to 
required capital contributions. Any changes in control will result in the revaluation of our investments to fair value, 
which could lead to an impairment. We are unable to predict whether, or to what extent, a change in control may result 
or the impact of adverse market and economic conditions may have to our partners.

If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income tax as a regular 
corporation and could have significant tax liability.

We intend to operate in a manner that allows us to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. However, 
REIT qualification requires us to satisfy numerous requirements (some on an annual or quarterly basis) established 
under highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, for which there are a limited number of 
judicial or administrative interpretations. Our status as a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and 
circumstances that are not entirely within our control. Accordingly, it is not certain we will be able to qualify and remain 
qualified  as  a  REIT  for  U.S.  federal  income  tax  purposes.  Even  a  technical  or  inadvertent  violation  of  the  REIT 
requirements could jeopardize our REIT qualification. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any tax year, then:

•  We would be taxed as a regular domestic corporation, which, among other things, means that we would be 
unable to deduct dividends paid to our shareholders in computing our taxable income and would be subject 
to U.S. federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates;

•  Any resulting tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for dividends to 
shareholders, and could force us to liquidate assets or take other actions that could have a detrimental effect 
on our operating results; and

•  Unless we were entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from treatment 
as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we lost our qualification, and our cash 
available for dividends to our shareholders would, therefore, be reduced for each of the years in which we do 
not qualify as a REIT.

Even if we remain qualified as a REIT, we may face other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow. We may also be 
subject to certain U.S. federal, state and local taxes on our income and property either directly or at the level of our 
subsidiaries. Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for dividends to our shareholders.

Tax laws have recently changed and may continue to change at any time, and any such legislative or other 
actions could have a negative effect on us.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Act") was signed into law on December 22, 2017. The law includes significant 
changes to the U.S. corporate income tax system, including a Federal corporate rate reduction from 35% to 21% for 
non-REIT "C" corporations, which may cause investors to perceive investments in REITs to be less attractive than 
investments in the stock of non-REIT “C” corporations. The law also includes limitations on the deductibility of executive 
compensation, which may result in our being required to pay higher dividends to continue to qualify as a REIT at a 
time and in an amount that otherwise may not be in our and our shareholders’ best interests.

10

Table of Contents

In  addition,  tax  laws  remain  under  constant  review  by  persons  involved  in  the  legislative  process,  at  the  Internal 
Revenue Service ("IRS") and the U.S. Department of the Treasury, and by various state and local tax authorities. 
Changes to tax laws, regulations, or administrative interpretations, which may be applied retroactively, could adversely 
affect us in a number of additional ways, including making it more difficult or more costly for us to qualify as a REIT or 
decreasing real estate values generally.

We cannot predict the full impact of the Tax Act or whether, when, in what forms, or with what effective dates, the tax 
laws, regulations, and administrative interpretations applicable to us or our shareholders may be further changed.

Compliance with REIT requirements may negatively affect our operating decisions.

To maintain our status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we must meet certain requirements, on an 
ongoing basis, including requirements regarding our sources of income, the nature and diversification of our assets, 
the amounts we distribute to our shareholders and the ownership of our common shares. We may also be required to 
pay dividends to our shareholders when we do not have funds readily available for distribution or at times when our 
funds are otherwise needed to fund capital expenditures or debt service obligations.

As  a  REIT,  we  must  distribute  at  least  90%  of  our  annual  net  taxable  income  (excluding  net  capital  gains)  to  our 
shareholders. To the extent that we satisfy this distribution requirement, but distribute less than 100% of our net taxable 
income, we will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. From time to 
time, we may generate taxable income greater than our income for financial reporting purposes, or our net taxable 
income may be greater than our cash flow available for distribution to our shareholders. If we do not have other funds 
available in these situations, we could be required to borrow funds, sell a portion of our securities at unfavorable prices 
or find other sources of funds in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements.

Our common shares dividend policy may change in the future.

The timing, amount and composition of any future dividends to our common shareholders will be at the sole discretion 
of our Board of Trust Managers and will depend upon a variety of factors as to which no assurance can be given. Our 
ability to make dividends to our common shareholders depends, in part, upon our operating results, overall financial 
condition, the performance of our portfolio (including occupancy levels and rental rates), our capital requirements, 
access to capital, our ability to qualify for taxation as a REIT and general business and market conditions. Any change 
in our dividend policy could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.

Our declaration of trust contains certain limitations associated with share ownership.

To maintain our status as a REIT, our declaration of trust prohibits any individual from owning more than 9.8% of our 
outstanding common shares. This restriction is likely to discourage third parties from acquiring control without the 
consent of our Board of Trust Managers, even if a change in control were in the best interests of our shareholders.

Also, our declaration of trust requires the approval of the holders of 80% of our outstanding common shares and the 
approval by not less than 50% of the outstanding common shares not owned by any related person (a person owning 
more than 50% of our common shares) to consummate a business transaction such as a merger. There are certain 
exceptions to this requirement; however, the 80% approval requirement could make it difficult for us to consummate 
a business transaction even if it is in the best interests of our shareholders.

There may be future dilution of our common shares.

Our declaration of trust authorizes our Board of Trust Managers to, among other things, issue additional common or 
preferred shares or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, without shareholder approval. We 
may issue such additional equity or convertible securities to raise additional capital. The issuance of any additional 
common or preferred shares or convertible securities could be substantially dilutive to holders of our common shares. 
Moreover, to the extent that we issue restricted shares, options, or warrants to purchase our common shares in the 
future and those options or warrants are exercised or the restricted shares vest, our shareholders may experience 
further dilution. Holders of our common shares have no preemptive rights that entitle them to purchase a pro rata share 
of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, such sales or offerings could result in increased dilution 
to our shareholders.

We may issue debt and equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, any of which may be senior 
to our common shares as to distributions and in liquidation, which could negatively affect the value of our common 
shares.

11

Table of Contents

In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by entering into unsecured or secured debt or debt-
like financings, or by issuing additional debt or equity securities, which could include issuances of medium-term notes, 
senior  notes,  subordinated  notes,  secured  debt,  guarantees,  preferred  shares,  hybrid  securities,  or  securities 
convertible into or exchangeable for equity securities. In the event of our liquidation, our lenders and holders of our 
debt and, if any, preferred securities would receive distributions of our available  assets before distributions to the 
holders of our common shares. Because any decision to incur debt and issue securities in future offerings may be 
influenced by market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing, 
or nature of our future financings. Further, market conditions could require us to accept less favorable terms for the 
issuance of our securities in the future.

Our declaration of trust contains certain limitations that make removal of our Trust Managers difficult, which 
could limit our shareholders ability to effect changes to our management.

Our declaration of trust provides that a Trust Manager may only be removed for cause upon the affirmative vote of 
holders of two-thirds of the total votes authorized to be cast by shares outstanding and entitled to be voted. Vacancies 
may be filled by either a majority of the remaining Trust Managers or elected by the vote of holders of at least two-
thirds of the outstanding shares at the Annual Meeting or a special meeting of the shareholders. These requirements 
provide limitations to make changes in our management by removing and replacing Trust Managers and may prevent 
a change of control that is in the best interests of our shareholders. 

Loss of our key personnel could adversely affect the value of our common shares and operations.

We are dependent on the efforts of our key executive personnel. A significant number of persons in our management 
group are eligible for retirement. Although we believe qualified replacements could be found for these key executives 
and other members of our management group, the loss of their services could adversely affect the value of our common 
shares and operations.

Changes  in  accounting  standards  may  adversely  impact  our  reported  financial  condition  and  results  of 
operations.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”), in conjunction with the SEC, continually engages in projects to 
evaluate additions or changes to current accounting standards which could impact how we currently account for our 
material transactions. We believe that these and other potential proposals could have varying degrees of impact on 
us ranging from minimal to material. At this time, we are unable to predict with certainty which, if any, proposals may 
be passed or what level of impact any such proposal could have on us, except as disclosed in Item 8.

We could be subject to litigation that may negatively impact our cash flows, financial condition and results 
of operations.

From time to time, we may be a defendant in lawsuits and regulatory proceedings relating to our business. Due to the 
inherent uncertainties of litigation and regulatory proceedings, we cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of 
any such litigation or proceedings. We could experience a negative impact to our cash flows, financial condition and 
results of operations due to an unfavorable outcome.

Compliance with certain laws and governmental rules and regulations may require us to make unintended 
expenditures that adversely affect our cash flows.

All of our properties are required to comply with certain laws and governmental rules and regulations, including the 
Americans with Disabilities Act, fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as they may 
be in effect or adopted by governmental agencies and bodies and become applicable to our properties. We may be 
required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with those requirements, and these expenditures could 
have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet the financial obligations and pay dividends to our shareholders.

12

Table of Contents

An uninsured loss or a loss that exceeds the policies on our properties could subject us to lost capital or 
revenue on those properties.

Under the terms and conditions of the leases currently in force on our properties, tenants generally are required to 
indemnify and hold us harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons, air, water, land or property, on or off 
the premises, due to activities conducted on the properties, except for claims arising from our negligence or intentional 
misconduct or that of our agents. Tenants are generally required, at the tenant’s expense, to obtain and keep in full 
force  during  the  term  of  the  lease,  liability  and  tenant's  property  damage  insurance  policies.  We  have  obtained 
comprehensive liability, casualty, property, flood, earthquake, environmental and rental loss insurance policies on our 
properties. All of these policies may involve substantial deductibles and certain exclusions. In addition, we cannot 
assure the shareholders that the tenants will properly maintain their insurance policies or have the ability to pay the 
deductibles. Should a loss occur that is uninsured or in an amount exceeding the combined aggregate limits for the 
policies noted above, or in the event of a loss that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, we 
could lose all or part of our capital invested in, and anticipated revenue from, one or more of the properties, which 
could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition, as well as our ability to pay 
dividends to the shareholders.

We may be subject to liability under environmental laws, ordinances and regulations.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may be considered an owner or operator 
of real property or have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances. As a result, we may 
become liable for the costs of disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances released on or in our property. 
We may also be liable for certain other potential costs that could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including 
governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). We may incur such liability whether or not we knew of, or 
were responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances.

Natural disasters and severe weather conditions could have an adverse effect on our cash flow and operating 
results.

Changing weather patterns and climatic conditions, such as global warming, may have added to the unpredictability 
and frequency of natural disasters in some parts of the world and created additional uncertainty as to future trends 
and exposures. Our operations are located in many areas that have experienced and may in the future experience 
natural disasters and severe weather conditions such as hurricanes, tornadoes, earthquakes, droughts, floods and 
fires. The occurrence of natural disasters or severe weather conditions can delay new development and redevelopment 
projects, increase investment costs to repair or replace damaged properties, increase future property insurance costs, 
and negatively impact the tenant demand for lease space. Additionally, these weather conditions may also disrupt our 
tenants business, which could affect the ability of some tenants to pay rent and may reduce the willingness of residents 
to remain in or move to the affected area. Intense weather conditions during the last decade have caused our cost of 
property insurance to increase significantly. If insurance is unavailable to us or is unavailable on acceptable terms, or 
if our insurance is not adequate to cover business interruption or losses from these events, our earnings, liquidity or 
capital resources could be adversely affected.

Our business and operations would suffer in the event of system failures. 

Despite the implementation of security measures and the existence of a disaster recovery and business continuity 
plans for our internal information technology systems, our systems are vulnerable to damages from any number of 
sources, including computer viruses, unauthorized access, energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war and 
telecommunication failures. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in 
a  material  disruption  to  our  business.  We  may  also  incur  additional  costs  to  remedy  damages  caused  by  such 
disruptions.

We face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks, loss of confidential information and other business disruptions. 

Our business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks, including attempts to gain unauthorized 
access to our confidential data and other electronic security breaches. Such cybersecurity attacks can range from 
individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to our information technology systems to more sophisticated security 
threats. In addition to our own information technology systems, third parties have been engaged to provide information 
technology  services  relating  to  several  key  business  functions,  such  as  payroll,  human  resources,  electronic 
communications  and  certain  finance  functions.  While  we  and  such  third  parties  employ  a  number  of  measures  to 
prevent, detect and mitigate these threats including a defense in depth strategy of firewalls, intrusion sensors, malware 
detection, password protection, backup servers, user training and periodic penetration testing, there is no guarantee 
such efforts will be successful in preventing a cybersecurity attack. As our reliance on technology has increased, so 
have  the  risks  posed  to  our  systems,  both  internal  and  those  we  have  outsourced.  Cybersecurity  incidents  could 
compromise the confidential information of our tenants, employees and third-party vendors and disrupt and affect the 
efficiency of our business operations.

ITEM 2. Properties

At December 31, 2017, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in real 
estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 204 centers, primarily neighborhood, community and power shopping 
centers, which are located in 17 states spanning the country from coast to coast with approximately 41.3 million square 
feet of gross leasable area. Our centers are located principally in the South, West Coast and Southeast Coast of the 
U.S. with concentrations in California, Florida, and Texas. We also owned interests in 25 parcels of land that totaled 
approximately 18.0 million square feet at December 31, 2017 of which approximately 17.7 million square feet of land 
may be used for new development or sold, and the remaining is adjacent to our existing operating centers, which may 
be used for expansion of those centers.

In 2017, no single center accounted for more than 7.3% of our total assets or 3.3% of base minimum rental revenues. 
The five largest centers, in the aggregate, represented approximately 11.1% of our base minimum rental revenues for 
the year ended December 31, 2017; otherwise, none of the remaining centers accounted for more than 1.8% of our 
base minimum rental revenues during the same period.

Our centers are designed to attract local area customers and are typically anchored by a supermarket or other national 
tenants (such as Kroger, HEB or T.J. Maxx). The centers are primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers 
that often include discounters, value-oriented retailers and specialty grocers as additional anchors or tenants, and 
typically range in size from 50,000 to 600,000 square feet of building area. Very few of the centers have climate-
controlled common areas, but are designed to allow retail customers to park their automobiles in close proximity to 
any retailer in the center. Our centers are customarily constructed of masonry, steel and glass, and all have lighted, 
paved parking areas, which are typically landscaped with berms, trees and shrubs. They are generally located at major 
intersections in close proximity to neighborhoods that have existing populations sufficient to support retail activities of 
the types conducted in our centers.

We actively embrace various initiatives that support the future of environmentally friendly shopping centers. Our primary 
areas  of  focus  include  energy  efficiency,  waste  recycling,  water  conservation  and  construction/development  best 
practices. We recognize there are economic, environmental and social implications associated with the full range of 
our sustainability efforts, and that a commitment to incorporating sustainable practices will add long-term value to our 
centers.

As of December 31, 2017, the weighted average occupancy rate for our centers was 94.8% compared to 94.3% as 
of December 31, 2016. The average base rent per square foot was approximately $18.69 in 2017, $17.93 in 2016, 
$16.92 in 2015, $16.24 in 2014 and $15.66 in 2013 for our centers.

We have approximately 5,400 separate leases with 3,700 different tenants. Included among our top revenue-producing 
tenants  are:  The  Kroger  Co.,  TJX  Companies,  Inc.,  Ross  Stores,  Inc.,  H-E-B  Grocery  Company,  LP, Albertsons 
Companies, Inc., Office Depot, Inc., PetSmart, Inc., Bed, Bath & Beyond Inc., 24 Hour Fitness Worldwide, Inc. and 
Whole Foods Market, Inc. The diversity of our tenant base is also evidenced by the fact that our largest tenant, The 
Kroger Co., accounted for only 2.8% of base minimum rental revenues during 2017.

New Development
At December 31, 2017, we had three projects in various stages of development that were partially or wholly owned. 
We  have  funded  $140.4  million  through  December  31,  2017  on  these  projects.  We  estimate  our  aggregate  net 
investment upon completion to be $363.1 million. These projects are forecasted to have an average stabilized return 
on investment of approximately 5.5% when completed. Effective January 1, 2017, we stabilized a development in 
White Marsh, Maryland, moving it to our operating property portfolio, which added 136,000 square feet to the portfolio 
at an estimated cost per square foot of $337.52. This development was 100% leased with an investment of $46 million 
and an 8% yield.

Upon completion, the estimated costs and square footage to be added to the portfolio for the three projects are as

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto 
and the comparative summary of selected financial data appearing elsewhere in this report. Historical results and 
trends which might appear should not be taken as indicative of future operations. Our results of operations and financial 
condition, as reflected in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related footnotes, are subject to 
management’s evaluation and interpretation of business conditions, retailer performance, changing capital market 
conditions and other factors which could affect the ongoing viability of our tenants.

Executive Overview

Weingarten  Realty  Investors  is  a  REIT  organized  under  the  Texas  Business  Organizations  Code.  We,  and  our 
predecessor entity, began the ownership of shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. Our primary 
business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own or lease. We also provide property management 
services for which we charge fees to either joint ventures where we are partners or other outside owners.

We  operate  a  portfolio  of  rental  properties,  primarily  neighborhood  and  community  shopping  centers,  totaling 
approximately  41.3  million  square  feet  of  gross  leaseable  area,  that  is  either  owned  by  us  or  others.  We  have  a 
diversified tenant base with our largest tenant comprising only 2.8% of base minimum rental revenues during 2017.

At December 31, 2017, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in real 
estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 204 properties, which are located in 17 states spanning the country 
from coast to coast.

We also owned interests in 25 parcels of land held for development that totaled approximately 18.0 million square feet 
at December 31, 2017.

We had approximately 5,400 leases with 3,700 different tenants at December 31, 2017. Leases for our properties 
range from less than a year for smaller spaces to over 25 years for larger tenants. Rental revenues generally include 
minimum lease payments, which often increase over the lease term, reimbursements of property operating expenses, 
including real estate taxes, and additional rent payments based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales. Our anchor 
tenants are supermarkets, value-oriented apparel/discount stores and other retailers or service providers who generally 
sell basic necessity-type goods and services. Although there is a broad shift in shopping patterns, including Internet 
shopping that continues to affect our tenants, we believe our anchor tenants drive foot traffic, combined with convenient 
locations, attractive and well-maintained properties, high quality retailers and a strong tenant mix, should lessen the 
effects of these conditions and maintain the viability of our portfolio.

Our goal is to remain a leader in owning and operating top-tier neighborhood and community shopping centers in 
certain markets of the United States. Our strategic initiatives include: (1) raising net asset value and cash flow through 
quality acquisitions, redevelopments and new developments, (2) maintaining a strong, flexible consolidated balance 
sheet and a well-managed debt maturity schedule, (3) growing net operating income from our existing portfolio by 
increasing occupancy and rental rates and (4) owning quality shopping centers in preferred locations that attract strong 
tenants. We believe these initiatives will keep our portfolio of properties among the strongest in our sector. Due to 
current capitalization rates in the market along with the uncertainty of the impact of increasing interest rates and various 
other market conditions, we will continue to be very prudent in our evaluation of all new investment opportunities. We 
believe the pricing of assets that we would like to sell remains reasonably firm at the same time that the pricing of our 
common shares has dropped well below our net asset value. If this market phenomenon continues, our disposition 
activity could increase accordingly. 

In late August 2017, the Texas Gulf Coast, including the Houston metropolitan area, was subjected to extensive flooding 
by Hurricane Harvey. Additionally in September 2017, much of Florida was faced with the damaging winds of Hurricane 
Irma. We have assessed the impact of both hurricanes, which caused nominal damage to our properties within the 
affected areas and temporarily interrupted the operations of some of our tenants. As of December 31, 2017, we have 
recorded $1.8 million in costs related to the storms in operating expense. Although most of our tenants' operations 
have resumed and repairs are almost completed, we will continue to monitor and adjust earnings as needed for storm 
damage estimates related to insurance claims in future periods.

Table of Contents

We intend to recycle non-core operating centers that no longer meet our ownership criteria and that will provide capital 
for growth opportunities. During 2017, we disposed of real estate assets, which were owned by us either directly or 
through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, with our share of aggregate gross sales proceeds 
totaling $444.1 million. Subsequent to December 31, 2017, we sold real estate assets with our share of aggregate 
gross sales proceeds totaling approximately $220.6 million. We have approximately $92 million of dispositions currently 
under contracts or letters of intent; however, there are no assurances that these transactions will close at such prices 
or at all. For 2018, we believe we will complete dispositions in amounts between $250 million and $450 million; however, 
there are no assurances that this will actually occur, or at what values, or whether we may potentially exceed this 
range. 

We intend to continue to actively seek acquisition properties that meet our return hurdles and to actively evaluate other 
opportunities as they enter the market. For 2018, we expect to invest in acquisition investments, which could potentially 
range from $50 million to $150 million; however, there are no assurances that this will actually occur.

We intend to continue to focus on identifying new development projects as another source of growth, as well as continue 
to  look  for  internal  growth  opportunities.  Although  we  have  begun  the  development  of  mixed-use  projects,  the 
opportunities for additional new development projects are limited at this time due to a lack of demand for new retail 
space. During 2017, we invested $93.1 million in three new development projects that are partially or wholly owned. 
Also during 2017, we invested $28.0 million in 16 redevelopment projects that were partially or wholly owned. For 
2018, we expect to invest in new development and redevelopments in the range of $125 million to $175 million, but 
we can give no assurances that this will actually occur. 

We strive to maintain a strong, conservative capital structure which should provide ready access to a variety of attractive 
long and short-term capital sources. We carefully balance lower cost, short-term financing with long-term liabilities 
associated with acquired or developed long-term assets. We continue to look for transactions that will strengthen our 
consolidated balance sheet and further enhance our access to various sources of capital, while reducing our cost of 
capital. Due to the variability in the capital markets, there can be no assurance that favorable pricing and availability 
will be available in the future. 

Operational Metrics
In assessing the performance of our centers, management carefully monitors various operating metrics of the portfolio. 
As a result of our strong leasing activity and low tenant fallout, the operating metrics of our portfolio remained strong 
in 2017 as we focused on increasing rental rates and same property net operating income ("SPNOI" and see Non-
GAAP Financial Measures for additional information). Our portfolio delivered solid operating results with:

• 

• 

• 

occupancy of 94.8% at December 31, 2017;

an increase of 2.6% in SPNOI including redevelopments for the twelve months ended December 31, 2017
over the same period of 2016; and

rental  rate  increases  of  23.1%  for  new  leases  and  9.0%  for  renewals  during  the  twelve  months  ended 
December 31, 2017.

Below are performance metrics associated with our signed occupancy, SPNOI growth and leasing activity on a pro 
rata basis:

Changing shopping habits, driven by rapid expansion of Internet-driven procurement, has led to increased financial 
problems for many retailers, which has had a negative impact on the retail real estate sector. We continue to monitor 
the  effects  of  these  trends,  including  the  impact  of  retail  customer  spending  over  the  long-term.  We  believe  the 
desirability of our physical locations, the significant diversification of our portfolio, both geographically and by tenant 
base, and the quality of our portfolio, along with its leading retailers or service providers that sell primarily grocery and 
basic necessity-type goods and services, position us well to mitigate the impact of these changes. Despite recent 
tenant bankruptcies, we continue to believe there is retailer demand for quality space within strong, strategically located 
centers. 

While we anticipate occupancy in 2018 to remain comparable with 2017, we may experience some fluctuations due 
to announced  bankruptcies and the repositioning  of those  spaces in  the future. A reduction in  quality retail  space 
available, as well as continued retailer demand, contributed to the increase in overall rental rates on a same-space 
basis as we completed new leases and renewed existing leases. Leasing volume is anticipated to fluctuate due to the 
uncertainty in tenant fallouts related to bankruptcies. Our expectation is that SPNOI growth including redevelopments 
will  average  between  2.5%  to  3.5%  for  2018  assuming  no  significant  tenant  bankruptcies,  although  there  are  no 
assurances that this will occur.

At December 31, 2017, we had three projects in various stages of development that were partially or wholly owned. 
We have funded $140.4 million through December 31, 2017 on these projects, and we estimate our aggregate net 
investment upon completion to be $363.1 million. Overall, the average projected stabilized return on investment for 
these multi-use properties, that include retail, office and residential components, is expected to approximate 5.5%
upon completion. Effective January 1, 2017, we stabilized the development in White Marsh, Maryland, moving it to 
our operating property portfolio. This development was 100% leased with an investment of $46 million and an 8% 
yield. 

We have 16 redevelopment projects in which we plan to invest approximately $228.8 million, which include a 30-story, 
high-rise residential tower at our River Oaks Shopping Center in Houston, Texas with an estimated investment of $150 
million. Upon completion, the average projected stabilized return on our incremental investment on these redevelopment 
projects is expected to average around 7.5% to 9.5%.

We had approximately $69.2 million in land held for development at December 31, 2017 that may either be developed 
or sold. While we are experiencing some interest from retailers and other market participants in our land held for 
development, opportunities for economically viable developments remain limited. We intend to continue to pursue 
additional development and redevelopment opportunities in multiple markets; however, finding the right opportunities 
remains challenging.

Acquisitions
Acquisitions are a key component of our long-term growth strategy. The availability of quality acquisition opportunities 
in the market remains sporadic in our targeted markets. Intense competition, along with a decline in the volume of 
high-quality core properties on the market, has in many cases driven pricing to pre-recession highs. We intend to 
remain  disciplined  in  approaching  these  opportunities,  pursuing  only  those  that  provide  appropriate  risk-adjusted 
returns.

Dispositions
Dispositions are also a key component of our ongoing management process where we selectively prune properties 
from our portfolio that no longer meet our geographic or growth targets. Dispositions provide capital, which may be 
recycled into properties that are high barrier-to-entry locations within high growth metropolitan markets, and thus have 
higher long-term growth potential. Additionally, proceeds from dispositions may be used to reduce outstanding debt, 
further deleveraging our consolidated balance sheet or repurchasing our common shares, dependent upon our share 
price. 

Summary of Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated financial 
statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United 
States of America (“GAAP”). The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates 
and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities and contingencies as of the date of the consolidated 
financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate 
our assumptions and estimates on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various 
other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for 
making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. 
Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe the following 
critical accounting policies require more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated 
financial statements.

Property
Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition of an asset method and, accordingly, the results 
of operations of an acquired property are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition. Estimates 
of  fair  values  are  based  upon  future  cash  flows  and  other  valuation  techniques  in  accordance  with  our  fair  value 
measurements accounting policy. Fair values are used to record the purchase price of acquired property among land, 
buildings on an “as if vacant” basis, tenant improvements, other identifiable intangibles and any goodwill or gain on 
purchase. Other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities include the effect of out-of-market leases, the value of 
having leases in place (“as is” versus “as if vacant” and absorption costs), out-of-market assumed mortgages and 
tenant  relationships.  Depreciation  and  amortization  is  computed  using  the  straight-line  method,  generally  over 
estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and over the lease term which includes bargain renewal options for 
other identifiable intangible assets. The impact of these estimates, including incorrect estimates in connection with 
acquisition values and estimated useful lives, could result in significant differences related to the purchased assets, 
liabilities and resulting depreciation or amortization. Costs associated with the successful acquisition of an asset are 
capitalized as incurred. 

Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
To determine the method of accounting for partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships, management 
determines  whether  an  entity  is  a  variable  interest  entity  (“VIE”)  and,  if  so,  determines  which  party  is  the  primary 
beneficiary by analyzing whether we have both the power to direct the entity’s significant economic activities and the 
obligation to absorb potentially significant losses or receive potentially significant benefits. Significant judgments and 
assumptions inherent in this analysis include the design of the entity structure, the nature of the entity’s operations, 
future cash flow projections, the entity’s financing and capital structure, and contractual relationships and terms. We 
consolidate a VIE when we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary.

Primary risks associated with our involvement with our VIEs include the potential funding of the entities’ debt obligations 
or making additional contributions to fund the entities’ operations or capital activities.

29

Table of Contents

Partially owned, non-variable interest real estate joint ventures and partnerships over which we have a controlling 
financial interest are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. In determining whether we have a controlling 
financial interest, we consider factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, kick-out rights and 
substantive participating rights. Partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships where we do not have a 
controlling financial interest, but have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity 
method.

Management continually analyzes and assesses reconsideration events, including changes in the factors mentioned 
above, to determine if the consolidation treatment remains appropriate. Decisions regarding consolidation of partially 
owned entities frequently require significant judgment by our management. Errors in the assessment of consolidation 
could result in material changes to our consolidated financial statements.

Impairment
Our property is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of 
the property, including any capitalized costs and any identifiable intangible assets, may not be recoverable.

If such an event occurs, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property 
into the foreseeable future, with consideration of applicable holding periods, on an undiscounted basis to the carrying 
amount of such property. If we determine the carrying amount is not recoverable, our basis in the property is reduced 
to its estimated fair value to reflect impairment in the value of the asset. Fair values are determined by management 
utilizing cash flow models, market capitalization and discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker or appraisal 
estimates in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy.

We review current economic considerations each reporting period, including the effects of tenant bankruptcies, the 
suspension of tenant expansion plans for new development projects, declines in real estate values and any changes 
to plans related to our new development projects including land held for development, to identify properties where we 
believe market values may be deteriorating. Determining whether a property is impaired and, if impaired, the amount 
of write-down to fair value requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information 
available to management at the time of evaluation. The evaluations used in these analyses could result in incorrect 
estimates when determining carrying values that could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Our investment in partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships is reviewed for impairment each reporting 
period. The ultimate realization is dependent on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment 
and market conditions. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the estimated fair value 
of  an  investment  below  its  carrying  amount  is  other  than  temporary. A  considerable  amount  of  judgment  by  our 
management is used in this evaluation. Our overall future plans for the investment, our investment partner’s financial 
outlook and our views on current market and economic conditions may have a significant impact on the resulting factors 
analyzed for these purposes.

Our investments in tax increment revenue bonds are reviewed for impairment, including the evaluation of changes in 
events  or  circumstances  that  may  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  the  investment  may  not  be  recoverable. 
Realization is dependent on a number of factors, including investment performance, market conditions and payment 
structure. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the value of the investment below its 
carrying amount is other than temporary, recovery of its cost basis is uncertain, and/or it is uncertain if the investment 
will be held to maturity. A considerable amount of judgment by our management is used in this evaluation, which may 
produce incorrect estimates that could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Revenues
The increase in revenues of $23.6 million is primarily attributable to our acquisitions and new development completions 
that totaled $27.8 million. The existing portfolio and redevelopment properties contributed $18.1 million due to increases 
in rental rates and changes in occupancy, which is offset by our dispositions of $22.3 million.

Depreciation and Amortization
The  increase  in  depreciation  and  amortization  of  $4.6  million  is  primarily  attributable  to  our  acquisitions  and  new 
development completions that totaled $11.7 million, which is offset by our dispositions and other capital activities. 

Operating Expenses
The increase in operating expenses of $10.5 million is primarily attributable to our acquisitions and new development 
completions of $5.3 million, a $3.1 million lease termination fee paid in 2017, insurance costs of $1.8 million primarily 
associated with hurricanes, an increase of $2.4 million in costs associated with our deferred compensation plan, and 
an overall increase at our existing portfolio and redevelopment properties associated primarily with the timing of repairs, 
which is offset by our dispositions of $4.0 million and a $.9 million write-off of pre-development costs in 2016. 

Real Estate Taxes, net
The increase in net real estate taxes of $9.3 million is primarily attributable to rate and valuation changes for the 
portfolio, as well as our acquisitions and new development completions, which were offset by our dispositions of $2.7 
million.

Impairment Loss
The increase in impairment losses of $15.2 million is primarily attributable to the losses in 2017 associated with the 
completed or proposed disposition of four shopping centers, interests in two 50% unconsolidated joint ventures and 
the disposition of an unimproved land parcel as compared to the losses in same period of 2016 associated with the 
disposition of two unimproved land parcels.

Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense decreased $2.7 million or 3.2%. The components of net interest expense were as follows (in

The decrease in gross interest expense is primarily attributable to a reduction in the weighted average interest rates 
between the respective periods. For the year ended December 31, 2017, the weighted average debt outstanding was 
$2.2 billion at a weighted average interest rate of 3.8% as compared to $2.2 billion outstanding at a weighted average 
interest rate of 3.9% in the same period of 2016. The $2.0 million gain on debt extinguishment in 2016 was associated 
with the refinancing of a secured note. The $2.2 million increase in capitalized interest is primarily attributable to an 
increase in our new development activities in 2017.

Interest and Other Income
The increase in interest and other income of $5.3 million is primarily attributable to an increase in the fair value of 
assets held in a grantor trust related to our deferred compensation plan of $3.6 million, a pre-development cost recovery 
of $.9 million and $.7 million associated with gains from the sale of investments.

Gain on Sale and Acquisition of Real Estate Joint Venture and Partnership Interests
The  gain  in  2016  of  $48.3  million  is  associated  with  the  remeasurement  of  our  51%  unconsolidated  real  estate 
partnership interest to fair value associated with the exchange of properties among the partners, the acquisition of our 
partner's 50% interest in a previously unconsolidated tenancy-in-common arrangement and the realization of changes 
in fair value upon the consolidation of that entity, and the remeasurement of a land parcel from an unconsolidated real 
estate joint venture to fair value.

Benefit (Provision) for Income Taxes
The increase in benefit (provision) for income taxes is primarily attributable to activities in our taxable REIT subsidiary. 
In 2017, a tax benefit of $1.6 million was realized associated primarily with impairment losses and an NOL carryforward 
from disposition activities as compared to a tax provision of $5.8 million in the same period of 2016 associated primarily 
with the gain from the exchange of properties among the partners of an unconsolidated real estate joint venture and 
the disposition of the development in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Equity in Earnings of Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships, net
The increase of $6.4 million in the equity in earnings of real estate joint ventures and partnerships is primarily attributable 
to an increase of $2.3 million in our share of the gain on sale from disposition activities within the respective periods, 
an acquisition of a center in 2016, which contributed $1.8 million, and an increase in equity preferential earnings.

Table of Contents

Gain on Sale and Acquisition of Real Estate Joint Venture and Partnership Interests
The gain in 2016 of $48.3 million is primarily attributable to a $37.4 million gain associated with the remeasurement 
of our 51% unconsolidated real estate partnership interest to fair value associated with the exchange of properties 
among the partners, a $9.0 million gain associated with the fair value realization upon consolidation of our equity 
associated  with  the  acquisition  of  a  partner's  50%  interest  in  a  previously  unconsolidated  tenancy-in-common 
arrangement and a gain of $1.9 million associated with the remeasurement of a land parcel from an unconsolidated 
real estate joint venture. The gain in 2015 of $.9 million is primarily attributable to our return of equity associated with 
an unconsolidated joint venture's disposition of its real estate property.

Provision for Income Taxes
The increase of $6.8 million in the provision for income taxes is attributable to our taxable REIT subsidiary associated 
primarily with the gain from the exchange of properties among the partners of an unconsolidated real estate joint 
venture and the disposition of the development in Raleigh, North Carolina.

Effects of Inflation

We have structured our leases in such a way as to remain largely unaffected should significant inflation occur. Many 
leases provide for increasing minimum rental rates during the terms of the leases through escalation provisions. In 
addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than 10 years, allowing us to adjust rental rates to changing market 
conditions when the leases expire. Many of our leases also contain percentage rent provisions whereby we receive 
increased rentals based on the tenants’ gross sales. Most of our leases also require the tenants to pay their proportionate 
share  of  operating  expenses  and  real  estate  taxes. As  a  result  of  these  lease  provisions,  increases  in  operating 
expenses due to inflation, as well as real estate tax rate increases, generally do not have a significant adverse effect 
upon our operating results as they are absorbed by our tenants. Under the current economic climate, inflation has 
been rising very slowly.

Economic Conditions

We believe that underlying economic fundamentals continue to show positive, albeit slow, growth. We also believe 
that consumer confidence is currently positive due in part to improvements in the labor market and changes in the tax 
law. Furthermore, personal income and housing prices are continuing to increase in our primary markets. We believe 
there is a direct correlation between housing wealth and consumption, and we expect rebounding home prices will 
further strengthen retail fundamentals, including rent growth and net operating income. Our focus on supermarket-
anchored centers in densely populated major metropolitan areas should position our portfolio to take advantage of the 
ever-changing retail landscape.

With respect to Houston and other markets that are energy dependent, increasing oil prices have positively impacted 
the local economy and has begun to favorably affect the office and multifamily real estate sectors. If prices should 
decline again for an extended duration, the performance of our centers in the Houston market could be impacted; we 
believe  however,  that  having  most  of  our  centers  in  dense,  high  income  areas  of  Houston  and  the  lack  of  retail 
completions in the last five years, combined with population growth, and the diversification of Houston's industries, 
reduces the potential negative impact to us in Houston of low oil prices.

As strengthening retail fundamentals drive demand for investments in top-tier retail real estate, we continue to dedicate 
internal resources to identify and evaluate available assets in our markets so that we may purchase the best assets 
and properties with the strongest upside potential. Also, we continue to look for redevelopment opportunities within 
our existing portfolio by repositioning our anchor tenants and new development opportunities to spur growth.

Capital Resources and Liquidity

Our primary operating liquidity needs are paying our common share dividends, maintaining and operating our existing 
properties, paying our debt service costs, excluding debt maturities, and funding capital expenditures. Under our 2018 
business plan, cash flows from operating activities are expected to meet these planned capital needs.

The primary sources of capital for funding any debt maturities, acquisitions, new developments and redevelopments 
are our excess cash flow generated by our operating properties; credit facilities; proceeds from both secured and 
unsecured debt issuances; proceeds from common and preferred equity issuances; and cash generated from the sale 
of property and the formation of joint ventures. Amounts outstanding under the unsecured revolving credit facility are 
retired as needed with proceeds from the issuance of long-term debt, common and preferred equity, cash generated 
from the disposition of properties and cash flow generated by our operating properties.

34

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2017, we had available borrowing capacity of $493.6 million under our unsecured revolving credit 
facility, and our debt maturities for 2018 total $113.4 million. 

We believe net proceeds from planned capital recycling, combined with our available capacity under the revolving 
credit and short-term borrowing facilities, will provide adequate liquidity to fund our capital needs, including acquisitions, 
redevelopments and new development activities. In the event our capital recycling program does not progress as 
expected, we believe other debt and equity alternatives are available to us. Although external market conditions are 
not within our control, we do not currently foresee any impediment to our entering the capital markets if needed.

During 2017, aggregate gross sales proceeds from our dispositions totaled $444.1 million, which were owned by us 
either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships. Operating cash flows from dispositions 
are included in net cash from operating activities in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while proceeds from 
dispositions are included as investing activities. 

We have a $200 million share repurchase plan. Under this plan, we may repurchase common shares from time-to-
time in open-market or in privately negotiated purchases. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be 
determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase plan may 
be suspended or discontinued at any time, and we have no obligations to repurchase any amount of our common 
shares under the plan. As of the date of this filing, we have not repurchased any shares under this plan. 

We have non-recourse debt secured by acquired or developed properties held in several of our real estate joint ventures 
and partnerships. Off-balance sheet mortgage debt for our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships 
totaled $298.1 million, of which our pro rata ownership is $108.0 million, at December 31, 2017. Scheduled principal 
mortgage payments on this debt, excluding deferred debt costs and non-cash related items totaling $(.6) million, at 
100% are as follows (in millions):

We hedge the future cash flows of certain debt transactions, as well as changes in the fair value of our debt instruments, 
principally through interest rate swap contracts with major financial institutions. We generally have the right to sell or 
otherwise dispose of our assets except in certain cases where we are required to obtain our joint venture partners’ 
consent or a third party consent for assets held in special purpose entities that are 100% owned by us.

Investing Activities

Dispositions
During  2017,  we  sold  20  centers  and  other  property,  including  real  estate  assets  owned  through  our  interest  in 
unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. Our share of aggregate gross sales proceeds from these 
transactions totaled $444.1 million and generated our share of the gains of approximately $217.2 million.

New Development/Redevelopment
At December 31, 2017, we had three projects under development with approximately .3 million of total square footage 
for retail and office space and 644 residential units, that were partially or wholly owned. We have funded $140.4 million
through December 31, 2017 on these projects. Upon completion, we expect our aggregate net investment in these 
multi-use projects to be $363.1 million. Effective January 1, 2017, we stabilized the development in White Marsh, 
Maryland, moving it to our operating property portfolio. This development was 100% leased with an investment of $46 
million and an 8% yield.

At December 31, 2017, we had 16 redevelopment projects in which we plan to invest approximately $228.8 million, 
which include a 30-story, high-rise residential tower at our River Oaks Shopping Center in Houston, Texas with an 
estimated investment of $150 million. Upon completion, the average projected stabilized return on our incremental 
investment on these redevelopment projects is expected to average around 7.5% to 9.5%. 

35

Table of Contents

We typically finance our new development and redevelopment projects with proceeds from our unsecured revolving 
credit facility, as it is our general practice not to use third party construction financing. Management monitors amounts 
outstanding  under  our  unsecured  revolving  credit  facility  and  periodically  pays  down  such  balances  using  cash 
generated from operations, from debt issuances, from common and preferred share issuances and from the disposition 
of properties.

Capital Expenditures
Capital  expenditures  for  additions  to  the  existing  portfolio,  acquisitions,  tenant  improvements,  new  development,

The decrease in capital expenditures is primarily attributable to the 2016 acquisition activity, which is partially offset 
by the increase in new development activity associated primarily to the purchase of the retail portion of a mixed-use 
project in Seattle, Washington and our share of the land parcel acquisition and development in Arlington, Virginia.

For 2018, we anticipate our acquisitions to total between $50 million and $150 million. Our new development and 
redevelopment investment for 2018 is estimated to be approximately $125 million to $175 million. For 2018, capital 
and tenant improvements is expected to be consistent with 2017 expenditures. No assurances can be provided that 
our  planned  capital  activities  will  occur.  Further,  we  have  entered  into  commitments  aggregating  $114.7  million
comprised principally of construction contracts which are generally due in 12 to 36 months and anticipated to be funded 
under our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Total debt outstanding was $2.1 billion at December 31, 2017 and consists of $2.1 billion, including the effect of $200 
million of interest rate swap contracts, which bears interest at fixed rates, and $17.9 million, which bears interest at 
variable rates. Additionally, of our total debt, $413.7 million was secured by operating centers while the remaining $1.7 
billion was unsecured.

At December 31, 2017, we have a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which expires in March 2020 and 
provides borrowing rates that float at a margin over LIBOR plus a facility fee. At December 31, 2017, the borrowing 
margin and facility fee, which are priced off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit ratings, were 90 and 15
basis points, respectively. The facility also contains a competitive bid feature that allows us to request bids for up to 
$250  million. Additionally,  an  accordion  feature  allows  us  to  increase  the  facility  amount  up  to  $850  million. As  of 
January 31, 2018, we had no amounts outstanding, and the available balance was $493.6 million, net of $6.4 million
in outstanding letters of credit.

At December 31, 2017, we have a $10 million unsecured short-term facility that we maintain for cash management 
purposes. The facility, which matures in March 2018, provides for fixed interest rate loans at a 30-day LIBOR rate plus 
borrowing margin, facility fee and an unused facility fee of 125, 10, and 5 basis points, respectively. As of January 31, 
2018, we had no amounts outstanding under this facility.

During 2017, the maximum balance and weighted average balance outstanding under both facilities combined were 
$245.0 million and $133.4 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 1.8%.

Our five most restrictive covenants, composed from both our public debt and revolving credit facility, include debt to 
asset, secured debt to asset, fixed charge, unencumbered asset test and unencumbered interest coverage ratios. We 
are not aware of any non-compliance with our public debt and revolving credit facility covenants as of December 31, 
2017.

Our most restrictive public debt covenant ratios, as defined in our indenture and supplemental indenture agreements, 
were as follows at December 31, 2017:

Covenant

Debt to Asset Ratio

Restriction
Less than 60.0%

Secured Debt to Asset Ratio

Less than 40.0%

Fixed Charge Ratio

Greater than 1.5

Actual
40.7%

8.1%

4.3

Unencumbered Asset Test

Greater than 150%

264.4%

At December 31, 2017, we had three interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $200 million
that were designated as cash flow hedges. These contracts mature March 2020 and fix the LIBOR component of the 
interest rates at 1.5%. We have determined that these contracts are highly effective in offsetting future variable interest 
cash flows.

We could be exposed to losses in the event of nonperformance by the counter-parties related to our interest rate swap 
contracts; however, management believes such nonperformance is remote.

Equity
Common share dividends paid totaled $294.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2017, which includes a special 
dividend paid in December 2017 in the amount of $.75 per common share, which was distributed due to the significant 
gains on dispositions of property. Our dividend payout ratio (as calculated as dividends paid on common shares divided 
by core funds from operations attributable to common shareholders - basic) for the year ended December 31, 2017
approximated 93.2% (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information). Our Board of Trust Managers 
approved a first quarter 2018 dividend of $.395 per common share, an increase from $.385 per common share for the 
respective quarter of 2017. 

We have a $200 million share repurchase plan. Under this plan, we may repurchase common shares from time-to-
time in open-market or in privately negotiated purchases. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be 
determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase plan may 
be suspended or discontinued at any time, and we have no obligations to repurchase any amount of our common 
shares under the plan. As of the date of this filing, we have not repurchased any shares under this plan. 

We have an effective universal shelf registration statement which expires in September 2020. We will continue to 
closely monitor both the debt and equity markets and carefully consider our available financing alternatives, including 
both public offerings and private placements.

Contractual Obligations

We have debt obligations related to our mortgage loans and unsecured debt, including any draws on our credit facilities. 
We have shopping centers that are subject to non-cancelable long-term ground leases where a third party owns and 
has leased the underlying land to us to construct and/or operate a shopping center. In addition, we have non-cancelable 
operating leases pertaining to office space from which we conduct our business. The table below excludes obligations 
related to our new development projects because such amounts are not fixed or determinable, and commitments 
aggregating $114.7 million comprised principally of construction contracts which are generally due in 12 to 36 months.

(1) 

Includes principal and interest with interest on variable-rate debt calculated using rates at December 31, 2017, excluding the effect of 
interest rate swaps. Also, excludes a $64.1 million debt service guaranty liability. See Note 6 for additional information.

(2)  Other obligations include income and real estate tax payments, commitments associated with our secured debt and other employee 
payments. Included in 2018, is the estimated contribution to our pension plan, which meets or exceeds the minimum statutory funding 
requirements; however, we have the right to discontinue contributions at any time. See Note 17 for additional information. 

Related to a development project in Sheridan, Colorado, we have provided a guaranty for the payment of any debt 
service shortfalls on tax increment revenue bonds issued in connection with the project. The Sheridan Redevelopment 
Agency ("Agency") issued Series A bonds used for an urban renewal project, of which $64.1 million remain outstanding 
at December 31, 2017. The bonds are to be repaid with incremental sales and property taxes and a public improvement 
fee ("PIF") to be assessed on current and future retail sales and, to the extent necessary, any amounts we may have 
to provide under a guaranty. The incremental taxes and PIF are to remain intact until the earlier of the payment of the 
bond liability in full or 2040. The debt associated with this guaranty has been recorded in our consolidated financial 
statements as of December 31, 2017.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of December 31, 2017, none of our off-balance sheet arrangements had a material effect on our liquidity or availability 
of, or requirement for, our capital resources. Letters of credit totaling $6.4 million were outstanding under the unsecured 
revolving credit facility at December 31, 2017.

We  have  entered  into  several  unconsolidated  real  estate  joint  ventures  and  partnerships.  Under  many  of  these 
agreements, we and our joint venture partners are required to fund operating capital upon shortfalls in working capital. 
As operating manager of most of these entities, we have considered these funding requirements in our business plan.

Reconsideration events, including changes in variable interests, could cause us to consolidate these joint ventures 
and partnerships. We continuously evaluate these events as we become aware of them. Some triggers to be considered 
are additional contributions required by each partner and each partner’s ability to make those contributions. Under 
certain of these circumstances, we may purchase our partner’s interest. Our material unconsolidated real estate joint 
ventures are with entities which appear sufficiently stable; however, if market conditions were to deteriorate and our 
partners are unable to meet their commitments, there is a possibility we may have to consolidate these entities. If we 
were to consolidate all of our unconsolidated real estate joint ventures, we would continue to be in compliance with 
our debt covenants.

38

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2017, one unconsolidated real estate joint venture was determined to be a VIE through the issuance 
of  a  secured  loan,  since  the  lender  had  the  ability  to  make  decisions  that  could  have  a  significant  impact  on  the 
profitability of the entity. Our maximum risk of loss associated with this VIE was limited to $34.0 million at December 
31, 2017. Also at December 31, 2017, another joint venture arrangement for the future development of a mixed-use 
project was determined to be a VIE. We are not the primary beneficiary as the substantive participating rights associated 
with the entity are shared, and we do not have the power to direct the significant activities of the entity. We anticipate 
funding approximately $93 million in equity and debt associated with the mixed-use project through 2020.

On January 1, 2018, a real estate limited partnership agreement with a foreign institutional investor was amended to 
include a potential obligation to purchase up to $61 million of real estate assets through December 31, 2018 with the 
option to extend for up to two additional years. Our ownership in this unconsolidated real estate limited partnership 
agreement is 51%, and as of the date of this filing, no assets have been purchased under this agreement.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of our key performance indicators are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these 
measures  along  with  our  GAAP  financial  statements  in  order  to  evaluate  our  operating  results.  We  believe  these 
additional measures provide users of our financial information additional comparable indicators of our industry, as well 
as, our performance.

Funds from Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines funds from operations attributable to 
common  shareholders  ("NAREIT  FFO")  as  net  income  (loss)  attributable  to  common  shareholders  computed  in 
accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items and gains or losses from sales of operating real estate assets 
and interests in real estate equity investments and their applicable taxes, plus depreciation and amortization of operating 
properties and impairment of depreciable real estate and in substance real estate equity investments, including our 
share of unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships. We calculate NAREIT FFO in a manner consistent 
with the NAREIT definition.

We  believe  NAREIT  FFO  is  a  widely  recognized  measure  of  REIT  operating  performance  which  provides  our 
shareholders  with  a  relevant  basis  for  comparison  among  other  REITs.  Management  uses  NAREIT  FFO  as  a 
supplemental internal measure to conduct and evaluate our business because there are certain limitations associated 
with using GAAP net income by itself as the primary measure of our operating performance. Historical cost accounting 
for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes 
predictably  over  time.  Since  real  estate  values  instead  have  historically  risen  or  fallen  with  market  conditions, 
management believes that the presentation of operating results for real estate companies that uses historical cost 
accounting is insufficient by itself. There can be no assurance that NAREIT FFO presented by us is comparable to 
similarly titled measures of other REITs.

We  also  present  core  funds  from  operations  attributable  to  common  shareholders  (“Core  FFO”)  as  an  additional 
supplemental measure as it is more reflective of the core operating performance of our portfolio of properties. Core 
FFO is defined as NAREIT FFO excluding charges and gains related to non-cash, non-operating and other transactions 
or  events  that  hinder  the  comparability  of  operating  results.  Specific  examples  of  items  excluded  from  Core  FFO 
include, but are not limited to, gains or losses associated with the extinguishment of debt or other liabilities, impairments 
of land, transactional costs associated with acquisition and development activities, certain deferred tax provisions/
benefits, redemption costs of preferred shares and gains on the disposal of non-real estate assets.

NAREIT FFO and Core FFO should not be considered as alternatives to net income or other measurements under 
GAAP as indicators of our operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as 
measures of liquidity. NAREIT FFO and Core FFO do not reflect working capital changes, cash expenditures for capital 
improvements or principal payments on indebtedness.

Same Property Net Operating Income
We consider SPNOI an important additional financial measure because it reflects only those income and expense 
items that are incurred at the property level, and when compared across periods, reflects the impact on operations 
from  trends  in  occupancy  rates,  rental  rates  and  operating  costs.  We  calculate  this  most  useful  measurement  by 
determining  our  proportional  share  of  SPNOI  from  all  owned  properties,  including  our  share  of  SPNOI  from 
unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships, which cannot be readily determined under GAAP measurements and 
presentation. Although  SPNOI  is  a  widely  used  measure  among  REITs,  there  can  be  no  assurance  that  SPNOI 
presented  by  us  is  comparable  to  similarly  titled  measures  of  other  REITs. Additionally,  we  do  not  control  these 
unconsolidated joint ventures and partnerships, and the assets, liabilities, revenues or expenses of these joint ventures 
and partnerships, as presented, do not represent our legal claim to such items.

Properties are included in the SPNOI calculation if they are owned and operated for the entirety of the most recent 
two fiscal year periods, except for properties for which significant redevelopment or expansion occurred during either 
of the periods presented, and properties classified as discontinued operations. While there is judgment surrounding 
changes in designations, we move new development and redevelopment properties once they have stabilized, which 
is typically upon attainment of 90% occupancy. A rollforward of the properties included in our same property designation 
is as follows:

We calculate SPNOI using operating income as defined by GAAP excluding property management fees, certain non-
cash revenues and expenses such as straight-line rental revenue and the related reversal of such amounts upon early 
lease termination, depreciation, amortization, impairment losses, general and administrative expenses, acquisition 
costs and other items such as lease cancellation income, environmental abatement costs, demolition expenses and 
lease termination fees. Consistent with the capital treatment of such costs under GAAP, tenant improvements, leasing 
commissions and other direct leasing costs are excluded from SPNOI. A reconciliation of net income attributable to

ITEM 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We use fixed and floating-rate debt to finance our capital requirements. These transactions expose us to market risk 
related to changes in interest rates. Derivative financial instruments are used to manage a portion of this risk, primarily 
interest rate contracts with major financial institutions. These agreements expose us to credit risk in the event of non-
performance by the counter-parties. We do not engage in the trading of derivative financial instruments in the normal 
course of business. At December 31, 2017, we had fixed-rate debt of $2.1 billion and variable-rate debt of $17.9 million, 
after adjusting for the net effect of $200.0 million notional amount of interest rate contracts. In the event interest rates 
were to increase 100 basis points and holding all other variables constant, annual net income and cash flows for the 
following year would decrease by approximately $.2 million associated with our variable-rate debt, including the effect 
of the interest rate contracts. The effect of the 100 basis points increase would decrease the fair value of our variable-
rate and fixed-rate debt by approximately $.1 million and $109.3 million, respectively.

ITEM 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trust Managers of Weingarten Realty Investors

Opinion on the Financial Statements

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Weingarten Realty Investors and subsidiaries (the 
"Company") as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive 
income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, and the related 
notes and the schedules listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the "financial statements"). In our 
opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 
December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 2017, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of 
America.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States) (PCAOB), the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria 
established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations 
of  the  Treadway  Commission  and  our  report  dated  February 28,  2018,  expressed  an  unqualified  opinion  on  the 
Company's internal control over financial reporting.

Basis for Opinion

These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an 
opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with 
the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal 
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and 
perform  the  audit  to  obtain  reasonable  assurance  about  whether  the  financial  statements  are  free  of  material 
misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material 
misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to 
those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures 
in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates 
made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our 
audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1.      Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Business
Weingarten Realty Investors is a REIT organized under the Texas Business Organizations Code. We currently operate, 
and intend to operate in the future, as a REIT.

We, and our predecessor entity, began the ownership of shopping centers and other commercial real estate in 1948. 
Our primary business is leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own or lease. We also provide property 
management services for which we charge fees to either joint ventures where we are partners or other outside owners.

We operate a portfolio of neighborhood and community shopping centers, totaling approximately 41.3 million square 
feet of gross leaseable area, that is either owned by us or others. We have a diversified tenant base, with our largest 
tenant comprising only 2.8% of base minimum rental revenues during 2017. Total revenues generated by our centers 
located in Houston and its surrounding areas was 19.6% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2017, and 
an additional 9.2% of total revenue was generated in 2017 from centers that are located in other parts of Texas. Also, 
in Florida and California, an additional 17.5% and 16.7%, respectively, of total revenue was generated in 2017. 

Basis of Presentation
Our consolidated financial statements include the accounts of our subsidiaries, certain partially owned real estate joint 
ventures  or  partnerships  and  VIEs  which  meet  the  guidelines  for  consolidation. All  intercompany  balances  and 
transactions have been eliminated.

Our  financial  statements  are  prepared  in  accordance  with  GAAP.  Such  statements  require  management  to  make 
estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets 
and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the 
reporting period. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We have evaluated subsequent events for recognition 
or disclosure in our consolidated financial statements.

Revenue Recognition
Rental revenue is generally recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, which generally begins the 
date the tenant takes control of the space. Revenue from tenant reimbursements of taxes, maintenance expenses 
and insurance is subject to our interpretation of lease provisions and is recognized in the period the related expense 
is recognized. Revenue based on a percentage of tenants’ sales is recognized only after the tenant exceeds their 
sales breakpoint.  In circumstances  where we provide a  tenant improvement  allowance  for improvements  that are 
owned by the tenant, we recognize the allowance as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the 
term of the lease. Other revenue is income from contractual agreements with third parties, tenants or partially owned 
real estate joint ventures or partnerships, which is recognized as the related services are performed under the respective 
agreements.

Property
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line 
method, generally over estimated useful lives of 18-40 years for buildings and 10-20 years for parking lot surfacing 
and equipment. Major replacements where the betterment extends the useful life of the asset are capitalized, and the 
replaced asset and corresponding accumulated depreciation are removed from the accounts. All other maintenance 
and repair items are charged to expense as incurred.

Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition of an asset method and, accordingly, the results 
of operations of an acquired property are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition. Estimates 
of fair values are based upon estimated future cash flows and other valuation techniques in accordance with our fair 
value measurements accounting policy. Fair values are used to allocate and record the purchase price of acquired 
property among land, buildings on an “as if vacant” basis, tenant improvements, other identifiable intangibles and any 
goodwill or gain on purchase. Other identifiable intangible assets and liabilities include the effect of out-of-market 
leases, the value of having leases in place (“as is” versus “as if vacant” and absorption costs), out-of-market assumed 
mortgages  and  tenant  relationships.  Depreciation  and  amortization  is  computed  using  the  straight-line  method, 
generally over estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings and over the lease term which includes bargain renewal 
options  for  other  identifiable  intangible  assets.  Costs  associated  with  the  successful  acquisition  of  an  asset  are 
capitalized as incurred.

50

Table of Contents

Property also includes costs incurred in the development and redevelopment of operating properties. These properties 
are carried at cost, and no depreciation is recorded on these assets until rent commences or no later than one year 
from the completion of major construction. These costs include preacquisition costs directly identifiable with the specific 
project, development and construction costs, interest, insurance and real estate taxes. Indirect development costs, 
including salaries and benefits, travel and other related costs that are directly attributable to the development of the 
property, are also capitalized. The capitalization of such costs ceases at the earlier of one year from the completion 
of major construction or when the property, or any completed portion, becomes available for occupancy.

Property also includes costs for tenant improvements paid by us, including reimbursements to tenants for improvements 
that are owned by us and will remain our property after the lease expires.

Property  identified  for  sale  is  reviewed  to  determine  if  it  qualifies  as  held  for  sale  based  on  the  following  criteria: 
management has approved and is committed to the disposal plan, the assets are available for immediate sale, an 
active plan is in place to locate a buyer, the sale is probable and expected to qualify as a completed sale within a year, 
the sales price is reasonable in relation to the current fair value, and it is unlikely that significant changes will be made 
to the sales plan or that the sales plan will be withdrawn. Upon qualification, these properties are segregated and 
classified as held for sale at the lower of cost or fair value less costs to sell. Our individual property disposals do not 
qualify for discontinued operations presentation; thus, the results of these disposals remain in income from continuing 
operations and any associated gains are included in gain on sale of property. 

Some of our properties are held in single purpose entities. A single purpose entity is a legal entity typically established 
at the request of a lender solely for the purpose of owning a property or group of properties subject to a mortgage. 
There may be restrictions limiting the entity’s ability to engage in an activity other than owning or operating the property, 
assuming or guaranteeing the debt of any other entity, or dissolving itself or declaring bankruptcy before the debt has 
been repaid. Most of our single purpose entities are 100% owned by us and are consolidated in our consolidated 
financial statements.

Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships
To determine the method of accounting for partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships, management 
determines whether an entity is a VIE and, if so, determines which party is the primary beneficiary by analyzing whether 
we have both the power to direct the entity’s significant economic activities and the obligation to absorb potentially 
significant losses or receive potentially significant benefits. Significant judgments and assumptions inherent in this 
analysis include the design of the entity structure, the nature of the entity’s operations, future cash flow projections, 
the entity’s financing and capital structure, and contractual relationships and terms. We consolidate a VIE when we 
have determined that we are the primary beneficiary.

Primary risks associated with our involvement with our VIEs include the potential funding of the entities’ debt obligations 
or making additional contributions to fund the entities’ operations or capital activities.

Partially owned, non-variable interest real estate joint ventures and partnerships over which we have a controlling 
financial interest are consolidated in our consolidated financial statements. In determining if we have a controlling 
financial interest, we consider factors such as ownership interest, authority to make decisions, kick-out rights and 
substantive participating rights. Partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships where we do not have a 
controlling financial interest, but have the ability to exercise significant influence, are accounted for using the equity 
method.

Management continually analyzes and assesses reconsideration events, including changes in the factors mentioned 
above, to determine if the consolidation or equity method treatment remains appropriate.

Unamortized Lease Costs, net
Lease costs represent the initial direct costs incurred in origination, negotiation and processing of a lease agreement. 
Such  costs  include  outside  broker  commissions  and  other  independent  third  party  costs,  as  well  as  salaries  and 
benefits, travel and other internal costs directly related to completing a lease and are amortized over the life of the 
lease on a straight-line basis. Costs related to supervision, administration, unsuccessful origination efforts and other 
activities not directly related to completed lease agreements are charged to expense as incurred. Also included are 
in place lease costs which are amortized over the life of the applicable lease terms on a straight-line basis.

Table of Contents

Accrued Rent and Accounts Receivable, net
Receivables include base rents, tenant reimbursements and receivables attributable to the straight-lining of rental 
commitments. An allowance for the uncollectible portion of accrued rents and accounts receivable is determined based 
upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical bad debt levels, tenant creditworthiness and current economic 
trends. Additionally, estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims with respect to tenants 
in bankruptcy are considered in assessing the collectibility of the related receivables. Management’s estimate of the 
collectibility of accrued rents and accounts receivable is based on the best information available to management at 
the time of evaluation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents
All highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less are considered cash equivalents. Cash 
and cash equivalents are primarily held at major financial institutions in the U.S. We had cash and cash equivalents 
in certain financial institutions in excess of federally insured levels. We have diversified our cash and cash equivalents 
amongst several banking institutions in an attempt to minimize exposure to any one of these entities. We believe we 
are not exposed to any significant credit risk and regularly monitor the financial stability of these financial institutions.

Restricted Deposits and Mortgage Escrows
Restricted deposits and mortgage escrows consist of escrow deposits held by lenders primarily for property taxes, 
insurance and replacement reserves and restricted deposits that are held for a specific use or in a qualified escrow 
account for the purposes of completing like-kind exchange transactions.

Our restricted deposits and mortgage escrows consists of the following (in thousands):

account for the purpose of completing like-kind exchange transactions.

Other Assets, net
Other assets include an asset related to the debt service guaranty (see Note 6 for further information), tax increment 
revenue bonds, investments, investments held in a grantor trust, deferred tax assets, prepaid expenses, interest rate 
derivatives, the value of above-market leases and the related accumulated amortization, deferred debt costs associated 
with  our  revolving  credit  facilities  and  other  miscellaneous  receivables.  Investments  held  in  a  grantor  trust  and 
investments  in  mutual  funds  are  adjusted  to  fair  value  at  each  period  with  changes  included  in  our  Consolidated 
Statements  of  Operations  and  Consolidated  Statement  of  Comprehensive  Income,  respectively. The  value  of  our 
investments in mutual funds approximates the cost basis. Investments held to maturity are carried at amortized cost 
and are adjusted using the interest method for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. Our tax increment 
revenue bonds have been classified as held to maturity and are recorded at amortized cost offset by a recognized 
credit loss (see Note 21 for further information). Above-market leases are amortized as adjustments to rental revenues 
over terms of the acquired leases. Deferred debt costs, including those classified in debt, are amortized primarily on 
a  straight-line  basis,  which  approximates  the  effective  interest  rate  method,  over  the  terms  of  the  debt.  Other 
miscellaneous receivables have a reserve applied to the carrying amount when it becomes apparent that conditions 
exist that may lead to our inability to fully collect on outstanding amounts due. Such conditions include delinquent or 
late payments on receivables, deterioration in the ongoing relationship with the borrower and other relevant factors. 
We would establish a reserve when expected loss conditions exist by reviewing the borrower’s ability to generate 
revenues to meet debt service requirements and assessing the fair value of any collateral.

Derivatives and Hedging
We manage interest cost using a combination of fixed-rate and variable-rate debt. To manage our interest rate risk, 
we occasionally hedge the future cash flows of our existing floating-rate debt or anticipated fixed-rate debt issuances, 
as well as changes in the fair value of our existing fixed-rate debt instruments, principally through interest rate contracts 
with major financial institutions. Interest rate contracts that meet specific criteria are accounted for as either a cash 
flow or fair value hedge.

52

Table of Contents

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk:
Our objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage our exposure to 
interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swap contracts as part of our 
interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swap contracts designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt 
of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements 
without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is 
recorded in accumulated other comprehensive loss and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that 
the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. For hedges of fixed-rate debt issuances, the interest rate contracts 
are cash settled upon the pricing of the debt, with amounts deferred in accumulated other comprehensive loss and 
amortized as an increase/decrease to interest expense over the originally hedged period.

The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.

Sales of Real Estate
Sales  of  real  estate  include  the  sale  of  tracts  of  land  within  a  shopping  center  development,  property  adjacent  to 
shopping  centers,  operating  properties,  newly  developed  properties,  investments  in  real  estate  joint  ventures  and 
partnerships and partial sales to real estate joint ventures and partnerships in which we participate.

Profits on sales of real estate are not recognized until (a) a sale is consummated; (b) the buyer’s initial and continuing 
investments are adequate to demonstrate a commitment to pay; (c) the seller’s receivable is not subject to future 
subordination; and (d) we have transferred to the buyer the usual risks and rewards of ownership in the transaction, 
and we do not have a substantial continuing involvement with the property.

We recognize gains on the sale of real estate to joint ventures and partnerships in which we participate to the extent 
we receive cash from the joint venture or partnership, if it meets the sales criteria in accordance with GAAP, and we 
do not have a commitment to support the operations of the real estate joint venture or partnership to an extent greater 
than our proportionate interest in the real estate joint venture or partnership.

Impairment
Our property is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of 
the property, including any capitalized costs and any identifiable intangible assets, may not be recoverable.

If such an event occurs, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property 
into the foreseeable future, with consideration of applicable holding periods, on an undiscounted basis to the carrying 
amount of such property. If we determine the carrying amount is not recoverable, our basis in the property is reduced 
to its estimated fair value to reflect impairment in the value of the asset. Fair values are determined by management 
utilizing cash flow models, market capitalization rates and market discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker or 
appraisal estimates in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting policy.

We  review  economic  considerations  at  each  reporting  period,  including  the  effects  of  tenant  bankruptcies,  the 
suspension of tenant expansion plans for new development projects, declines in real estate values, and any changes 
to plans related to our new development properties including land held for development, to identify properties where 
we believe market values may be deteriorating. Determining whether a property is impaired and, if impaired, the amount 
of write-down to fair value requires a significant amount of judgment by management and is based on the best information 
available to management at the time of evaluation. If market conditions deteriorate or management’s plans for certain 
properties change, additional write-downs could be required in the future.

Our investment in partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships is reviewed for impairment each reporting 
period. The ultimate realization is dependent on a number of factors, including the performance of each investment 
and market conditions. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the estimated fair value 
of an investment below its carrying amount is other than temporary. There is no certainty that impairments will not 
occur in the future if market conditions decline or if management’s plans for these investments change.

Our investments in tax increment revenue bonds are reviewed for impairment, including the evaluation of changes in 
events  or  circumstances  that  may  indicate  that  the  carrying  amount  of  the  investment  may  not  be  recoverable. 
Realization is dependent on a number of factors, including investment performance, market conditions and payment 
structure. We will record an impairment charge if we determine that a decline in the value of the investment below its 
carrying amount is other than temporary, recovery of its cost basis is uncertain, and/or it is uncertain if the investment 
will be held to maturity. 

53

Interest Capitalization
Interest  is  capitalized  on  land  under  development  and  buildings  under  construction  based  on  rates  applicable  to 
borrowings outstanding during the period and the weighted average balance of qualified assets under development/
construction during the period.

Income Taxes
We have elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. As a REIT, we 
generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income we distribute to our shareholders. 
To be taxed as a REIT, we must meet a number of requirements including defined percentage tests concerning the 
amount of our assets and revenues that come from, or are attributable to, real estate operations. As long as we distribute 
at least 90% of the taxable income of the REIT (without regard to capital gains or the dividends paid deduction) to our 
shareholders as dividends, we will not be taxed on the portion of our income we distribute as dividends unless we 
have ineligible transactions.

The Tax Relief Extension Act of 1999 gave REITs the ability to conduct activities which a REIT was previously precluded 
from  doing  as  long  as  such  activities  are  performed  in  entities  which  have  elected  to  be  treated  as  taxable  REIT 
subsidiaries under the IRS code. These activities include buying or developing properties with the express purpose 
of selling them. We conduct certain of these activities in a taxable REIT subsidiary that we have created. We calculate 
and record income taxes in our consolidated financial statements based on the activities in this entity. Deferred tax 
assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between our 
carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and net operating loss and tax credit 
carry-forwards. These are measured using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which those temporary differences 
are expected to be recovered or settled. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is established for those assets 
when we do not consider the realization of such assets to be more likely than not.

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act. The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes 
to the Internal Revenue Code including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 
35% to 21%, (2) establishing a 20% deduction for REIT dividends (other than any portion that is a capital gain dividend), 
(3) limiting the deductibility of business interest, (4) allowing full expensing of certain qualifying property, (5) eliminating 
the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”) and changing how existing AMT credits can be realized, (6) limiting 
current net operating loss deductions and providing an indefinite carryforward and (7) limiting the deductibility of certain 
executive compensation. Management’s evaluation of deferred taxes and the associated valuation allowance includes 
an estimate of the impact of the Tax Act and was based on the best information available to management at the time 
(see Note 13 for additional information).

Additionally, GAAP prescribes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition 
of a tax position taken, or expected to be taken, in a tax return. A tax position may only be recognized in the consolidated 
financial statements if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained upon examination. We believe it 
is more likely than not that our tax positions will be sustained in any tax examinations.

In addition, we are subject to the State of Texas business tax (“Texas Franchise Tax”), which is determined by applying 
a tax rate to a base that considers both revenues and expenses. Therefore, the Texas Franchise Tax is considered 
an income tax and is accounted for accordingly.

Share-Based Compensation
We have both share options and share awards outstanding. Since 2012, our employee long-term incentive program 
under our Amended and Restated 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan grants only awards that incorporate both service-
based  and  market-based  measures  for  share  awards  to  promote  share  ownership  among  the  participants  and  to 
emphasize the importance of total shareholder return. The terms of each grant vary depending upon the participant's 
responsibilities and position within the Company. All awards are recorded at fair value on the date of grant and earn 
dividends throughout the vesting period; however, the dividends are subject to the same vesting terms as the award. 
Compensation expense is measured at the grant date and recognized over the vesting period. All share awards are 
awarded subject to the participant’s continued employment with us.

The share awards are subject to a three-year cliff vesting basis. Service-based and market-based share awards are 
subject to the achievement of select performance goals as follows:

•  Service-based awards and accumulated dividends typically vest three years from the grant date. These grants 
are subject only to continued employment and not dependent on future performance measures. Accordingly, 
if such vesting criteria are not met, compensation cost previously recognized would be reversed.

54

Table of Contents

•  Market-based awards vest based upon the performance metrics at the end of a three-year period. These 
awards are based 50% on our three-year relative total shareholder return (“TSR”) as compared to the FTSE 
NAREIT U.S. Shopping Center Index. The other 50% is tied to our three-year absolute TSR, which is currently 
compared to an 8% hurdle. At the end of a three-year period, the performance measures are analyzed; the 
actual number of shares earned is determined; and the earned shares and the accumulated dividends vest. 
The probability of meeting the market criteria is considered when calculating the estimated fair value on the 
date of grant using a Monte Carlo simulation. These awards are accounted for as awards with market criteria, 
with  compensation  cost  recognized  over  the  service  period,  regardless  of  whether  the  market  criteria  are 
achieved and the awards are ultimately earned and vest.

Restricted shares granted to trust managers and share awards granted to retirement eligible employees are expensed 
immediately. Restricted shares and share awards have the same rights of a common shareholder, including the right 
to  vote  and  receive  dividends,  except  as  otherwise  provided  by  our  Management  Development  and  Executive 
Compensation Committee.

Options generally expire upon the earlier of termination of employment or 10 years from the date of grant, and all 
restricted shares are granted at no purchase price. Our policy is to recognize compensation expense for equity awards 
ratably over the vesting period, except for retirement eligible amounts.

Retirement Benefit Plans
Defined Benefit Plan:
We sponsor a noncontributory cash balance retirement plan (“Retirement Plan”) under which an account is maintained 
for each participant. Annual additions to each participant’s account include a service credit ranging from 3%-5% of 
compensation, depending on years of service, and an interest credit of 4.5%. Vesting generally occurs after three
years of service. 

Investments of Plan Assets
Our investment policy for our plan assets has been to determine the objectives for structuring a retirement savings 
program suitable to the long-term needs and risk tolerances of participants, to select appropriate investments to 
be offered by the plan and to establish procedures for monitoring and evaluating the performance of the investments 
of the plan. Our overall plan objectives for selecting and monitoring investment options are to promote and optimize 
retirement wealth accumulation; to provide a full range of asset classes and investment options that are intended 
to help diversify the portfolio to maximize return within reasonable and prudent levels of risk; to control costs of 
administering the plan; and to manage the investments held by the plan.

The selection of investment options is determined using criteria based on the following characteristics: fund history, 
relative  performance,  investment  style,  portfolio  structure,  manager  tenure,  minimum  assets,  expenses  and 
operation considerations. Investment options selected for use in the plan are reviewed at least on a semi-annual 
basis  to  evaluate  material  changes  from  the  selection  criteria. Asset  allocation  is  used  to  determine  how  the 
investment portfolio should be split between stocks, bonds and cash. The asset allocation decision is influenced 
by investment time horizon; risk tolerance; and investment return objectives. The primary factor in establishing 
asset allocation is demographics of the plan, including attained age and future service. A broad market diversification 
model is used in considering all these factors, and the percentage allocation to each investment category may 
also vary depending upon market conditions. Re-balancing of the allocation of plan assets occurs semi-annually.

Defined Contribution Plans:
Effective January 1, 2012, we amended our two separate and independent nonqualified supplemental retirement plans 
(“SRP”) for certain employees to be defined contribution plans. These unfunded plans provide benefits in excess of 
the statutory limits of our noncontributory cash balance retirement plan. For active participants as of January 1, 2012, 
annual additions to each participant’s account include an actuarially-determined service credit ranging from 3% to 5%
and an interest credit of 4.5%. Vesting generally occurs between five and 10 years of service. We have elected to use 
the actuarial present value of the vested benefits to which the participant was entitled if the participant separated 
immediately from the SRP, as permitted by GAAP.

The SRP participants' account balances, prior to January 1, 2012, were converted to a cash balance retirement plan 
which no longer receives service credits but continues to receive a 7.5% interest credit for active participants and a 
December 31, 90-day LIBOR rate plus .50% for inactive participants.

We have a Savings and Investment Plan pursuant to which eligible employees may elect to contribute from 1% of their 
salaries to the maximum amount established annually by the IRS. Employee contributions are matched by us at the 
rate of 50% for the first 6% of the employee's salary. The employees vest in the employer contributions ratably over 
a five-year period.

Deferred Compensation Plan
We have a deferred compensation plan for eligible employees allowing them to defer portions of their current cash 
salary or share-based compensation. Deferred amounts are deposited in a grantor trust, which are included in net 
other assets, and are reported as compensation expense in the year service is rendered. Cash deferrals are invested 
based on the employee’s investment selections from a mix of assets selected using a broad market diversification 
model. 

Our deferred compensation plan was amended, effective April 1, 2016, to permit participants in this plan to diversify 
their holdings of our common shares six months after vesting. Thus, as of April 1, 2016, the fully vested share awards 
and the proportionate share of nonvested share awards eligible for diversification were reclassified from additional 
paid-in capital to temporary equity in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. In February 2017, the deferred compensation 
plan was amended to provide that participants in the plan would no longer have the right to diversify their common 
shares six months after vesting. Thus, the fully vested share awards and the proportionate share of nonvested share 
awards eligible for diversification at the amendment date were reclassified from temporary equity into additional paid-
in  capital  in  our  Consolidated  Balance  Sheet.  Deferred  share-based  compensation  cannot  be  diversified,  and 
distributions from this plan are made in the same form as the original deferral. 

The  following  table  summarizes  the  eligible  share  award  activity  since  inception  through  the  February  2017  plan

Fair Value Measurements
Certain financial instruments, estimates and transactions are required to be calculated, reported and/or recorded at 
fair value. The estimated fair values of such financial items, including debt instruments, impaired assets, acquisitions, 
investment securities and derivatives, have been determined using a market-based measurement. This measurement 
is determined based on the assumptions that management believes market participants would use in pricing an asset 
or liability; including, market capitalization rates, discount rates, current operating income, local economics and other 
factors. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes a 
fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from 
sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) 
and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within 
Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the 
ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the 
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities 
in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as 
interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable 
inputs for the asset or liability, which is typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related 
market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different 
levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement 
falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment 
of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers 
factors specific to the asset or liability. The fair value of such financial instruments, estimates and transactions was 
determined using available market information and appropriate valuation methodologies as prescribed by GAAP.

56

Table of Contents

Internally developed and third party fair value measurements, including the unobservable inputs, are evaluated by 
management  with  sufficient  experience  for  reasonableness  based  on  current  market  knowledge,  trends  and 
transactional experience in the real estate and capital markets. Our valuation policies and procedures are determined 
by  our Accounting  Group,  which  reports  to  the  Chief  Financial  Officer  and  the  results  of  significant  impairment 
transactions are discussed with the Audit Committee on a quarterly basis.

Fair  value  estimates  are  based  on  limited  available  market  information  for  similar  transactions,  including  our  tax 
increment revenue bonds, investments held to maturity and debt, and there can be no assurance that the disclosed 
value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument. The following provides 
information about the methods used to estimate the fair value of our financial instruments, including their estimated 
fair values: 

Investments and Deferred Compensation Plan Obligations
Investments in mutual funds held in a grantor trust and mutual funds are valued based on publicly-quoted market 
prices for identical assets. The deferred compensation plan obligations corresponds to the value of our investments 
held in a grantor trust. Investments held to maturity are carried at amortized cost and are adjusted using the interest 
method for amortization of premiums and accretion of discounts. 

Derivative Instruments
We use interest rate contracts with major financial institutions to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of 
these instruments is determined based on assumptions that management believes market participants would use 
in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected 
cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period 
to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The 
fair values of our interest rate contracts have been determined using the market standard methodology of netting 
the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or 
receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward 
curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the 
respective counter-party’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our 
derivative  contracts  for  the  effect  of  nonperformance  risk,  we  have  considered  the  impact  of  netting  and  any 
applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral, thresholds and guarantees. An accounting policy election was 
made to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements 
on a net basis by counterparty portfolio.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the 
fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such 
as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counter-parties. 
However,  we  have  assessed  the  significance  of  the  impact  of  the  credit  valuation  adjustments  on  the  overall 
valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant 
to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that the derivative valuations in their 
entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Tax Increment Revenue Bonds
The fair value estimates of our held to maturity tax increment revenue bonds, which were issued by the Agency 
in connection with our investment in a development project in Sheridan, Colorado, are based on assumptions that 
management  believes  market  participants  would  use  in  pricing,  using  widely  accepted  valuation  techniques 
including discounted cash flow analysis based on the expected future sales tax revenues of the development 
project.  This  analysis  reflects  the  contractual  terms  of  the  bonds,  including  the  period  to  maturity,  and  uses 
observable market-based inputs, such as market discount rates and unobservable market-based inputs, such as 
future growth and inflation rates. 

57

Table of Contents

Debt
The fair value of our debt may be based on quoted market prices for publicly-traded debt, on a third-party established 
benchmark for inactively traded debt and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for non-
traded debt. For inactively traded debt, our third-party provider establishes a benchmark for all REIT securities 
based on the largest, most liquid and most frequent investment grade securities in the REIT bond market. This 
benchmark is then adjusted to consider how a market participant would be compensated for risk premiums such 
as, longevity of maturity dates, lack of liquidity and credit quality of the issuer. The discount rates used approximate 
current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assumes the debt is 
outstanding through maturity and considers the debt’s collateral (if applicable). We have utilized market information 
as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. 

Reportable Segments
Our primary focus is to lease space to tenants in shopping centers that we own, lease or manage. We evaluate the 
performance of the reportable segments based on net operating income, defined as total revenues less operating 
expenses and real estate taxes. Management does not consider the effect of gains or losses from the sale of property 
or interests in real estate joint ventures and partnerships in evaluating segment operating performance. 

No individual property constitutes more than 10% of our revenues or assets, and we have no operations outside of 
the United States of America. Therefore, our properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment since such 
properties and the tenants thereof each share similar economic and operating characteristics.

Retrospective Application of Accounting Standard Update
The  retrospective  application  of  adopting  Accounting  Standard  Update  ("ASU")  No.  2016-09,  "Improvements  to 
Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash 
Payments" and ASU No. 2016-18, "Restricted Cash" on prior years' Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and 
applicable notes to the consolidated financial statements were made to conform to the current year presentation (see 
Notes 2 and 14 for additional information).

Note 2.      Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adopted
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting." 
This  ASU  was  issued  to  simplify  several  aspects  of  share-based  payment  transactions,  including:  income  tax 
consequences, classification of awards as equity or a liability, an option to recognize share compensation forfeitures 
as they occur and changes to classification within the statement of cash flows. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-09 
were effective for us as of January 1, 2017. The adoption of this ASU resulted in a retrospective reclassification of $6.0 
million and $1.8 million in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the year ended December 31, 2016 and 
2015, respectively, from cash flows from operating activities in changes in accounts payable, accrued expenses and 
other liabilities, net to cash flows from financing activities in other, net for shares used to pay employees' tax withholdings. 

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, "Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments." 
This ASU amends guidance to either add or clarify the classification of certain cash receipts and payments in the 
statement of cash flows. Eight specific issues were identified for further clarification and include: debt prepayment or 
extinguishment costs, settlement of zero-coupon debt instruments, contingent consideration payments made after a 
business combination, proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims, proceeds from the settlement of company-
owned life insurance policies, distributions received from equity method investees, beneficial interests in securitization 
transactions and the classification of cash flows that have aspects of more than one class of cash flows. The provisions 
of ASU No. 2016-15 are effective for us as of January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. 
We have adopted this update as of December 31, 2017 on a retrospective basis. The adoption of this ASU resulted 
in a retrospective reclassification of $.5 million and $.8 million in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the 
year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, from cash flows from operating activities in accrued rent and 
accounts receivable, net to cash flows from investing activities in other, net for the settlement of insurance claims 
associated with capital assets. Also, our distributions received from equity method investees are accounted for using 
the cumulative earnings approach.

In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-17, "Interests Held through Related Parties That Are Under Common 
Control." This ASU amends the consolidation guidance on how a reporting entity that is a single decision maker of a 
VIE  should  treat  indirect  interests  in  the  entity  held  through  related  parties  that  are  under  common  control  when 
determining whether it is the primary beneficiary of that VIE. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-17 were effective for us 
as of January 1, 2017 on a retrospective basis. We have adopted this update, and the adoption did not have any impact 
to our consolidated financial statements.

In  November  2016,  the  FASB  issued ASU  No.  2016-18,  "Restricted  Cash."  This ASU  amends  prior  guidance  on 
restricted  cash  presentation  and  requires  that  restricted  cash  and  restricted  cash  equivalents  be  included  in  the 
statement of cash flows. Changes in restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents that result from transfers between 
different cash categories should not be presented as cash flow activities in the statement of cash flows. The ASU also 
requires an entity to disclose information about the nature of restricted cash, as well as a reconciliation between the 
statement of financial position and the statement of cash flows when the statement of financial position has more than 
one line item for cash, cash equivalent, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalent. The provisions of ASU No. 
2016-18 are effective for us as of January 1, 2018 on a retrospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. We have 
adopted this ASU as of December 31, 2017 on a retrospective basis, as reflected in our cash flow statement presentation 
and related notes (see Notes 1 and 14 for additional information). For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, 
cash flows from investing activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows no longer reflects the change in 
restricted deposits and mortgage escrows totaling $20.0 million and $76.6 million, respectively. 

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations." This ASU narrows the definition of a 
business and provides a framework for evaluating whether a transaction is an acquisition of a business or an asset. 
The amendment provides a screen to evaluate whether a transaction is a business and requires that when substantially 
all of the fair value of the acquired assets can be concentrated in a single asset or identifiable group of similar assets, 
then the assets acquired are not a business. If the screen is not met, then to be considered a business, the assets 
must have an input and a substantive process to create outputs. The provisions of ASU No. 2017-01 are effective for 
us as of January 1, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. We have adopted this ASU prospectively as of January 1, 
2017.  Under  this  guidance,  we  expect  most  acquisitions  of  property  to  be  accounted  for  as  an  asset  acquisition. 
Additionally,  certain  acquisition  costs  that  were  previously  expensed  may  be  capitalized.  For  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2016, we expensed acquisition costs of $1.4 million.

In  May  2017,  the  FASB  issued ASU  No.  2017-09,  "Compensation  -  Stock  Compensation:  Scope  of  Modification 
Accounting." This ASU provides guidance about the types of changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based 
payment award which would require an entity to apply modification accounting. This ASU requires an entity to account 
for the effects of a modification in the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award, unless three criteria are 
met relating to the fair value, vesting conditions and classification of the modified awards. The provisions of ASU No. 
2017-09 are effective for us as of January 1, 2018 on a prospective basis, and early adoption is permitted. We have 
adopted this update as of December 31, 2017, and the adoption did not have any impact to our consolidated financial 
statements.

Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers." This ASU's core objective 
is for an entity to recognize revenue based on the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for goods or services. 
Additionally, this ASU requires entities to use a single model in accounting for revenues derived from contracts with 
customers. ASU No. 2014-09 replaces prior guidance regarding the recognition of revenue from sales of real estate, 
except for revenue from sales that are part of a sale-leaseback transaction. The provisions of ASU No. 2014-09, as 
amended in subsequently issued amendments, are effective for us on January 1, 2018, and are required to be applied 
either on a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. We have elected to apply this guidance on a modified 
retrospective approach upon adoption.

Our evaluation has resulted in the identification of primarily three types of customer contracts: (1) management contracts 
with partially owned real estate joint ventures or partnerships or third parties, (2) licensing and occupancy agreements 
and (3) certain non-tenant contracts. Based on our evaluation, we will continue to recognize these fees as we currently 
do with the exception of the timing associated with the performance obligation in our management contracts related 
to leasing and lease preparation related services. Upon adoption at January 1, 2018, we recognized the cumulative 
effect for these fees which has increased retained earnings and contract assets by $.3 million, respectively. In addition, 
we evaluated controls around the implementation of this ASU and have concluded there will be no significant impact 
on our control structure. We are still evaluating the impact to the notes in our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01, "Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial 
Liabilities." This ASU  will  require  equity  investments,  excluding  those  investments  accounted  for  under  the  equity 
method of accounting or those that result in consolidation of the investee, to be measured at fair value with the changes 
in fair value recognized in net income; will simplify the impairment assessment of those investments; will eliminate the 
disclosure  of  the  method(s)  and  significant  assumptions  used  to  estimate  the  fair  value  for  financial  instruments 
measured at amortized cost and change the fair value calculation for those investments; will change the disclosure in 
other comprehensive income for financial liabilities that are measured at fair value in accordance with the fair value 
options for financial instruments; and will clarify that a deferred asset related to available-for-sale securities should be 
included in an entity's evaluation for a valuation allowance. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-01 are effective for us as 
of January 1, 2018 and is required to be applied on a modified retrospective approach. Upon adoption, we recognized 
the cumulative effect for the fair value of equity investments which has increased retained earnings and accumulated 
other comprehensive loss each by $1.5 million and includes the effects of ASU No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain 
Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." 

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." The ASU sets out the principles for the recognition, 
measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The ASU requires lessees to adopt 
a right-of-use asset approach that will bring substantially all leases onto the balance sheet, with the exception of short-
term leases. The subsequent accounting for this right-of-use asset will be based on a dual-model approach, under 
which the lease will be classified as either a finance or an operating lease. The lessor accounting model under this 
ASU is similar to current guidance, but certain underlying principles in the lessor model have been aligned with the 
new revenue recognition standard. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-02 are effective for us as of January 1, 2019, are 
required to be applied on a modified retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. We anticipate adopting 
this ASU on January 1, 2019.

In January 2018, the FASB issued an exposure draft ("2018 Exposure Draft") which, if adopted as written, would allow 
lessors a practical expedient by class of underlying assets to account for lease and non-lease components as a single 
lease component if certain criteria are met. Also, the 2018 Exposure Draft indicates that companies may be permitted 
to recognize a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption in 
lieu of the modified retrospective approach and provides other optional practical expedients.

We are in the process of evaluating the impact to our 5,400 lessor leases and other lessee leases, if any, that the 
adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements. Within our lessor leases, we are entitled to 
receive  tenant  reimbursements  for  operating  expenses  such  as  real  estate  taxes,  insurance  and  common  area 
maintenance (“CAM”). Currently upon adoption of this ASU, CAM reimbursement revenue will be accounted for in 
accordance  with Topic  606  (ASU  No.  2014-09  as  discussed  above).  We  have  currently  identified  some  areas  we 
believe may be impacted by this ASU. These include:

•  The bifurcation of lease arrangements in which contractual amounts due are on a gross basis and the amount 
under contract is not allocated between rental and expense reimbursements, such as real estate taxes and 
insurance. This process would be based on the underlying fair values of these items. 

•  We have ground lease agreements in which we are the lessee for land underneath all or a portion of 13 centers 
and three administrative office leases that we account for as operating leases. Rental expense associated 
with these operating leases was, in millions: $2.9 in 2017; $3.0 in 2016 and $3.2 in 2015. We have one capital 
lease in which we are the lessee of two centers with a $21 million lease obligation. We will record any rights 
and obligations under these leases as an asset and liability at fair value in our consolidated balance sheets.

•  Determination of costs to be capitalized associated with leases. This ASU will limit the capitalization associated 
with certain costs, primarily certain internally-generated leasing and legal costs, of which we capitalized internal 
costs of $10.8 million and $10.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. We 
believe we will be able to continue to capitalize internal leasing commissions that are a direct result of obtaining 
a lease.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This 
ASU amends prior guidance on the impairment of financial instruments, and adds an impairment model that is based 
on expected losses rather than incurred losses with the recognition of an allowance based on an estimate of expected 
credit losses. The provisions of ASU No. 2016-13 are effective for us as of January 1, 2020, and early adoption is 
permitted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. We are currently assessing the impact, if any, that the 
adoption of this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-05, "Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and 
Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets." The ASU clarifies that a financial asset is within the scope of 
Subtopic 610-20 if it meets the definition, as amended, of an in substance nonfinancial asset. If substantially all of the 
fair value of assets that are promised to a counterparty in a contract is concentrated in nonfinancial assets, then all of 
the financial assets promised to the counterparty are in substance nonfinancial assets within the scope of Subtopic 
610-20, including a parent transferring control of a nonfinancial asset through a transfer of ownership interests of a 
consolidated subsidiary. The provisions of ASU No. 2017-05 are effective for us as of January 1, 2018 and depending 
on the contract type may be recorded on a retrospective or modified retrospective approach. As a result of our contract 
analysis under ASU 2014-09, the majority of our contracts relate to property sales to be accounted for under this ASU 
and could result in future gains being recognized sooner. Upon adoption, we applied the modified retrospective approach 
for all contract types. We recognized the cumulative effect for contracts in which gains would have been realized and 
have increased retained earnings and other assets by $4.0 million, respectively, at January 1, 2018. 

In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, "Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pensions Cost and 
Net  Periodic  Postretirement  Benefit  Cost."  The  ASU  requires  the  service  cost  component  to  be  reported  as 
compensation costs arising from services rendered by pertinent employees during the period. The other components 
of net periodic benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service cost 
component  and  outside  income  from  operations. Additionally,  only  the  service  cost  component  will  be  eligible  for 
capitalization when applicable. The provisions of ASU No. 2017-07 are effective for us as of January 1, 2018 on a 
retrospective basis for the presentation within the income statement and prospectively for the capitalization of costs. 
Upon adoption of this ASU, our income statement presentation and notes will be impacted, but it does not have a 
material impact to our consolidated financial statements. For the year ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, net 
periodic benefit cost, excluding the service cost component, of $.4 million, $.7 million and $.2 million, respectively, will 
be restated as non-operating expenses in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Table of Contents

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12, "Derivatives and Hedging - Targeted Improvements to Accounting 
for Hedging Activities." The ASU amends current hedge accounting recognition and presentation requirements. Items 
focused  on  include:  alignment  of  an  entity’s  risk  management  activities  and  its  financial  reporting  for  hedging 
relationships, the use of hedge accounting for risk components in hedging relationships involving nonfinancial risk and 
interest rate risk, updates for designating fair value hedges of interest rate risk and measuring the related change in 
fair value of the hedged item, alignment of the recognition and presentation of the effects of the hedging instrument 
and the hedged item, and permits an entity to exclude certain amounts related to currency swaps. Lastly, the ASU 
also provides additional relief on effectiveness testing methods and disclosures. The provisions of ASU No. 2017-12 
are effective for us as of January 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted. We have adopted this ASU as of January 
1, 2018, which requires a modified retrospective transition method upon adoption. The adoption of this ASU will not 
have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, "Leases (Topic 842)-Land Easement Practical Expedient for 
Transition to Topic 842." The ASU provides an optional transition practical expedient to not evaluate existing or expired 
land easements under ASU No. 2016-02, if they were not previously accounted for as leases under prior guidance. 
The provisions of ASU No. 2018-01 are effective for us as of January 1, 2019, are required to be applied on a modified 
retrospective approach and early adoption is permitted. We anticipate adopting this ASU upon adoption of ASU No. 
2016-02.

In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, "Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other 
Comprehensive Income." ASU No. 2018-02 allows for the reclassification of the stranded tax effects resulting from the 
Tax Act to retained earnings. The provisions of ASU No. 2018-02 are effective for us as of January 1, 2019, may be 
applied either at the beginning of the period of adoption or retrospectively, and early adoption is permitted. We anticipate 
adopting this ASU upon adoption of ASU No. 2016-01.

During the year ended December 31, 2017, we sold 18 centers and other property. Aggregate gross sales proceeds 
from these transactions approximated $446.6 million and generated gains of approximately $218.6 million. Also, for 
the  year  ended  December  31,  2017,  we  invested  $57.2  million  in  new  development  projects,  which  includes  the 
purchase of the retail portion of a mixed-use project in Seattle, Washington that was subject to a contractual obligation 
at December 31, 2016.

At December 31, 2017, three centers, totaling $78.7 million before accumulated depreciation, were classified as held 
for sale. At December 31, 2016, one center, totaling $1.6 million before accumulated depreciation, was classified as 
held for sale. None of these centers qualified to be reported in discontinued operations, and all but one have been 
sold subsequent to the end of the applicable reporting period.

Note 4.      Investment in Real Estate Joint Ventures and Partnerships

We own interests in real estate joint ventures or limited partnerships and have tenancy-in-common interests in which 
we exercise significant influence, but do not have financial and operating control. We account for these investments 
using the equity method, and our interests ranged for the periods presented from 20% to 90% in 2017 and from 20%
to 75% in 2016. Combined condensed financial information of these ventures (at 100%) is summarized as follows (in

Our investment in real estate joint ventures and partnerships, as reported in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, differs 
from our proportionate share of the entities’ underlying net assets due to basis differences, which arose upon the 
transfer of assets to the joint ventures. The net positive basis differences, which totaled $2.2 million and $2.6 million
at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, are generally amortized over the useful lives of the related assets.

Our real estate joint ventures and partnerships have determined from time to time that the carrying amount of certain 
centers was not recoverable and that the centers should be written down to fair value. There was no impairment charge 
for the year ended December 31, 2017. For the year ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, our unconsolidated real 
estate joint ventures and partnerships recorded an impairment charge of $1.3 million and $7.5 million, respectively, 
associated primarily with various centers that have been marketed and sold during the period.

Fees earned by us for the management of these real estate joint ventures and partnerships totaled $6.2 million in 
2017, $5.1 million in 2016 and $4.5 million in 2015.

During 2017, two centers were sold with aggregate gross sales proceeds of approximately $19.6 million, of which our 
share of the gain, included in equity earnings in real estate joint ventures and partnerships totaled $6.2 million. In June 
2017, a venture acquired land with a gross purchase price of $23.5 million for a mixed-use development project, and 
we simultaneously increased our ownership interest to 90% (See Note 20 for additional information).

During 2016, five centers and a land parcel were sold with aggregate gross sales proceeds of approximately $78.7 
million, of which our share of the gain, included in equity earnings in real estate joint ventures and partnerships, totaled 
$3.9  million. Additionally,  a  venture  acquired  one  center  with  a  gross  purchase  price  of  $73  million,  of  which  our 
aggregated interest was 69%. 

In September 2016, we acquired our partner's 50% interest in an unconsolidated tenancy-in-common arrangement 
for approximately $13.5 million that we had previously accounted for under the equity method. This transaction resulted 
in the consolidation of the property in our consolidated financial statements. In October 2016, an unconsolidated joint 
venture distributed land to both us and our partner, totaling $4.4 million.

As of December 31, 2015, we held a combined 51% interest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture that owned 
three centers in Colorado with total assets and debt of $43.7 million and $72.4 million, respectively. In February 2016, 
in exchange for our partners' aggregate 49% interest in this venture and $2.5 million in cash, we distributed one center 
to our partners. We have consolidated this venture as of the transaction date and re-measured our investment in this 
venture to its fair value (See Note 22 for additional information).

These identified intangible assets and liabilities are amortized over the applicable lease terms or the remaining lives 
of the assumed mortgages, as applicable.

The net amortization of above-market and below-market leases increased (decreased) rental revenues by $3.7 million, 
$2.1 million and $(.5) million in 2017, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The significant year over year change in rental 
revenues in 2016 to 2015 is primarily due to acquisitions during 2016. The estimated net amortization of these intangible

We maintain a $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility, which was amended and extended on March 30, 2016. 
This facility expires in March 2020, provides for two consecutive six-month extensions upon our request, and borrowing 
rates that float at a margin over LIBOR plus a facility fee. At both December 31, 2017 and 2016, the borrowing margin 
and facility fee, which are priced off a grid that is tied to our senior unsecured credit ratings, were 90 and 15 basis 
points, respectively. The facility also contains a competitive bid feature that allows us to request bids for up to $250 
million. Additionally, an accordion feature allows us to increase the facility amount up to $850 million.

Additionally, we have a $10 million unsecured short-term facility, which was amended and extended on March 27, 
2017, that we maintain for cash management purposes, which matures in March 2018. At December 31, 2017, the 
facility provided for fixed interest rate loans at a 30-day LIBOR rate plus a borrowing margin, facility fee and an unused 
facility fee of 125, 10, and 5 basis points, respectively. At December 31, 2016, the borrowing margin, facility fee and 
an unused facility fee was 125, 10, and 10 basis points, respectively.

Related to a development project in Sheridan, Colorado, we have provided a guaranty for the payment of any debt 
service shortfalls until a coverage rate of 1.4x is met on tax increment revenue bonds issued in connection with the 
project. The bonds are to be repaid with incremental sales and property taxes and a PIF to be assessed on current 
and future retail sales and, to the extent necessary, any amounts we may have to provide under a guaranty. The 
incremental taxes and PIF are to remain intact until the earlier of the date the bond liability has been paid in full or 
2040. Therefore, a debt service guaranty liability equal to the fair value of the amounts funded under the bonds was 
recorded. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had $64.1 million and $67.1 million outstanding for the debt service 
guaranty liability, respectively.

In December 2016, we repaid $75 million of fixed-rate unsecured medium term notes upon maturity at a weighted 
average interest rate of 5.5%.

In August 2016, we issued $250 million of 3.25% senior unsecured notes maturing in 2026. The notes were issued at 
99.16% of the principal amount with a yield to maturity of 3.35%. The net proceeds received of $246.3 million were 
used to reduce the amount outstanding under our $500 million unsecured revolving credit facility.

In June 2016, we amended an existing $90 million secured note to extend the maturity to 2028 and reduce the interest 
rate  from  7.5%  to  4.5%  per  annum.  In  connection  with  this  transaction,  we  have  recorded  a  $2.0  million  gain  on 
extinguishment of debt that has been classified as net interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Various leases and properties, and current and future rentals from those leases and properties, collateralize certain 
debt. At both December 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying value of such assets aggregated $.7 billion.

Scheduled principal payments on our debt (excluding $21.0 million of certain capital leases, $(5.4) million net premium/
(discount) on debt, $(8.9) million of deferred debt costs, $4.0 million of non-cash debt-related items, and $64.1 million

Cash Flow Hedges
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had three interest rate swap contracts, maturing through March 2020, with 
an aggregate notional amount of $200 million that were designated as cash flow hedges and fix the LIBOR component 
of the interest rates at 1.5%. We have determined that these contracts are highly effective in offsetting future variable 
interest cash flows.

During 2016, we entered into and settled a forward-starting interest rate swap contract with an aggregate notional 
amount  of  $200  million  hedging  future  fixed-rate  debt  issuances,  which  fixed  the  10-year  swap  rates  at  1.5%  per 
annum. Upon settlement of this contract in August 2016, we paid $2.1 million resulting in a loss of $2.0 million in 
accumulated other comprehensive loss.

As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the net gain balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss relating to active 
and previously terminated cash flow interest rate swap contracts was $7.4 million and $6.4 million, respectively. Within 
the next 12 months, approximately $1.4 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss is expected to be reclassified 
as a reduction to interest expense related to our interest rate contracts.

Fair Value Hedges:
Associated with the refinancing of a secured note, on June 24, 2016, we terminated two interest rate swap contracts 
that were designated as fair value hedges and had an aggregate notional amount of $62.9 million. Upon settlement, 
we received $2.2 million, which was recognized as part of the gain on extinguishment of debt related to the hedged 
debt.

We have a $200 million share repurchase plan. Under this plan, we may repurchase common shares from time-to-
time in open-market or in privately negotiated purchases. The timing and amount of any shares repurchased will be 
determined by management based on its evaluation of market conditions and other factors. The repurchase plan may 
be suspended or discontinued at any time, and we have no obligations to repurchase any amount of our common 
shares under the plan. As of the date of this filing, we have not repurchased any shares under this plan. 

Common dividends declared per share were $2.29, $1.46 and $1.38 for the year ended December 31, 2017, 2016
and 2015, respectively. The regular dividend rate per share for our common shares for each quarter of 2017 and 2016 
was $.385 and $.365, respectively. Also in December 2017, we paid a special dividend for our common shares in the 
amount  of  $.75  per  share,  which  was  due  to  the  significant  gains  on  dispositions  of  property.  Subsequent  to 
December 31, 2017, our Board of Trust Managers approved a first quarter dividend of $.395 per common share, an 
increase from $.385 per common share for the respective quarter of 2017.

The terms of our leases range from less than one year for smaller tenant spaces to over 25 years for larger tenant 
spaces. In addition to minimum lease payments, most of the leases provide for contingent rentals (payments for real 
estate taxes, maintenance and insurance by lessees and an amount based on a percentage of the tenants’ sales).

Note 13.      Income Tax Considerations

We qualify as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, and therefore, no tax is imposed on our 
taxable income distributed to shareholders. To maintain our REIT status, we must distribute at least 90% of our ordinary 
taxable income to our shareholders and meet certain income source and investment restriction requirements. Our 
shareholders must report their share of income distributed in the form of dividends.

Taxable income differs from net income for financial reporting purposes primarily because of differences in the timing 
of recognition of depreciation, rental revenue, repair expense, compensation expense, impairment losses and gain 
from sales of property. As a result of these differences, the book value of our net fixed assets is in excess of tax basis 
by $193.4 million and $268.7 million at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

The following table reconciles net income adjusted for noncontrolling interests to REIT taxable income (in thousands):

(2) 

as a result of the enactment of the Tax Act on December 22, 2017.
Impairment losses and book-tax basis differential liabilities will not be recognized until the related properties are sold. Realization of 
impairment losses is dependent upon generating sufficient taxable income in the year the property is sold.
(3)  We have net operating loss carryforwards of $35.4 million that expire between the years of 2029 and 2037.
(4)  Management believes it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets, which primarily consists of impairment losses, 
interest expense and net operating losses, will not be realized and established a valuation allowance. However, the amount of the deferred 
tax asset considered realizable could be reduced if estimates of future taxable income are reduced.

Note 16.      Share Options and Awards

In April 2011, our Long-Term Incentive Plan for the issuance of options and share awards expired, and issued options 
of .4 million remain outstanding as of December 31, 2017.

In May 2010, our shareholders approved the adoption of the Amended and Restated 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan, 
under which 3.0 million of our common shares were reserved for issuance, and options and share awards of .5 million 
are available for future grant at December 31, 2017. This plan expires in May 2020.

Compensation expense, net of forfeitures, associated with share options and restricted shares totaled $8.6 million in 
2017, $8.5 million in 2016 and $7.4 million in 2015, of which $1.7 million in 2017, $1.9 million in 2016 and $1.5 million
in 2015 was capitalized.

The selection of the discount rate is made annually after comparison to yields based on high quality fixed-income 
investments. The salary scale is the composite rate which reflects anticipated inflation, merit increases, and promotions 
for the group of covered participants. The long-term rate of return is a composite rate for the trust. It is derived as the 
sum of the percentages invested in each principal asset class included in the portfolio multiplied by their respective 
expected rates of return. We considered the historical returns and the future expectations for returns for each asset 
class, as well as the target asset allocation of the pension portfolio. This analysis resulted in the selection of 7.00%
as the long-term rate of return assumption for 2017.

December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 of $6.2 million, $5.1 million and $4.5 million, respectively.

In September 2016, we acquired a partner's 50% interest in an unconsolidated tenancy-in-common arrangement for 
approximately $13.5 million that we had previously accounted for under the equity method. This transaction resulted 
in the consolidation of the property in our consolidated financial statements, and we recognized a gain of $9.0 million
on the fair value remeasurement of our equity method investment. (See Note 22 for additional information).

In October 2016, an unconsolidated joint venture distributed land to both us and our partner, and we recognized a 
gain of $1.9 million associated with the remeasurement of a land parcel. Also, we paid a payable totaling $4.8 million 
due to the unconsolidated joint venture. In November 2016, we acquired our partner’s interest in two consolidated joint 
ventures for an aggregate amount of $3.3 million. 

As of December 31, 2015, we held a combined 51% interest in an unconsolidated real estate joint venture that owned 
three centers in Colorado with total assets and debt of $43.7 million and $72.4 million, respectively. In February 2016, 
in exchange for our partners' aggregate 49% interest in this venture and $2.5 million in cash, we distributed one center 
to our partners. We have consolidated this venture as of the transaction date and re-measured our investment in this 
venture to its fair value, and recognized a gain of $37.4 million (See Note 22 for additional information). 

Note 19.      Commitments and Contingencies

Leases
We are engaged in the operation of shopping centers, which are either owned or, with respect to certain shopping 
centers, operated under long-term ground leases. These ground leases expire at various dates through 2069, with 
renewal options. Space in our shopping centers is leased to tenants pursuant to agreements that provide for terms 
ranging generally from one year to 25 years and, in some cases, for annual rentals subject to upward adjustments 
based on operating expense levels, sales volume, or contractual increases as defined in the lease agreements.

Scheduled minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable operating leases in which we are the 
lessee, principally for shopping center ground leases, for the subsequent five years and thereafter ending December 31, 
are as follows (in thousands):

Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we participated in two real estate ventures structured as DownREIT partnerships 
that have centers in Arkansas, North Carolina and Texas. We have operating and financial control over these ventures 
and consolidate them in our consolidated financial statements. These ventures allow the outside limited partners to 
put their interest in the partnership to us, and we have the option to redeem the interest in cash or a fixed number of 
our common shares, at our discretion. We also participate in a real estate venture that has a property in Texas that 
allows its outside partner to put operating partnership units to us. We have the option to redeem these units in cash 
or a fixed number of our common shares, at our discretion. The aggregate redemption value of these interests was 
approximately $47 million and $52 million as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.

As of December 31, 2017, we have entered into commitments aggregating $114.7 million comprised principally of 
construction contracts which are generally due in 12 to 36 months.

We issue letters of intent signifying a willingness to negotiate for acquisitions, dispositions or joint ventures, as well 
as other types of potential transactions, during the ordinary course of our business. Such letters of intent and other 
arrangements are non-binding to all parties unless and until a definitive contract is entered into by the parties. Even 
if definitive contracts relating to the acquisition or disposition of property are entered into, these contracts generally 
provide the purchaser a time period to evaluate the property and conduct due diligence. The purchaser, during this 
time, will have the ability to terminate a contract without penalty or forfeiture of any deposit or earnest money. No 
assurance can be provided that any definitive contracts will be entered into with respect to any matter covered by 
letters of intent, or that we will consummate any transaction contemplated by a definitive contract. Additionally, due 
diligence periods for property transactions are frequently extended as needed. An acquisition or disposition of property 
becomes probable at the time the due diligence period expires and the definitive contract has not been terminated. 
Our risk is then generally extended only to any earnest money deposits associated with property acquisition contracts, 
and our obligation to sell under a property sales contract.

We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations in the areas where 
we own or operate properties. We are not aware of any contamination which may have been caused by us or any of 
our tenants that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

As part of our risk management activities, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental 
programs which will limit our expenses if contaminants need to be remediated. We also have an environmental insurance 
policy that covers us against third party liabilities and remediation costs.

While we believe that we do not have any material exposure to environmental remediation costs, we cannot give 
absolute assurance that changes in the law or new discoveries of contamination will not result in additional liabilities 
to us.

Litigation
We are involved in various matters of litigation arising in the normal course of business. While we are unable to predict 
the amounts involved, our management and counsel are of the opinion that, when such litigation is resolved, any 
additional liability, if any, will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Note 20.      Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs:
At both December 31, 2017 and 2016, nine of our real estate joint ventures, whose activities primarily consisted of 
owning and operating 22 and 25 neighborhood/community shopping centers, respectively, were determined to be 
VIEs. Based on a financing agreement by one of our real estate joint ventures that has a bottom dollar guaranty, which 
is disproportionate to our ownership, we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary and have consolidated 
this joint venture. For the remaining real estate joint ventures, we concluded we are the primary beneficiary based 
primarily on our significant power to direct the entities' activities without any substantive kick-out or participating rights. 

At December 31, 2016, in conjunction with the acquisition of a property with a net book value of $249.5 million, we 
had a like-kind exchange agreement with a third party intermediary for tax purposes. The third party purchased the 
property via our financing, and then leased the property to us. Based on the associated agreements, we had determined 
that the entity was a VIE, and we were the primary beneficiary based on our significant power to direct the entity's 
activities without any substantive kick-out or participating rights. Accordingly, we consolidated the property and its 
operations as of the respective acquisition date. During the year ended December 31, 2017, the ownership of this 
property was conveyed to us in accordance with the terms of the like-kind exchange agreement, and we no longer 
have a VIE.

(2)  Represents the amount of debt and related assets held as collateral associated with the bottom dollar guaranty at one real estate joint 

venture. 

Restrictions on the use of these assets can be significant because they may serve as collateral for debt. Further, we 
are generally required to obtain our partner's approval in accordance with the joint venture agreement for any major 
transactions. Transactions  with  these  joint  ventures  on  our  consolidated  financial  statements  have  primarily  been 
positive as demonstrated by the generation of net income and operating cash flows, as well as the receipt of cash 
distributions. We and our partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements which include provisions 
for when additional contributions may be required to fund operating cash shortfalls, development expenditures and 
unplanned capital expenditures. During 2017, $.1 million in additional contributions were made primarily to fund an 
operating shortfall. During 2016, $2.5 million in additional contributions were made primarily for capital activities. We 
currently anticipate that $.1 million of additional contributions will be made for 2018.

Unconsolidated VIEs:
At both December 31, 2017 and 2016, two unconsolidated real estate joint ventures were determined to be VIEs. We 
have determined that one entity was a VIE through the issuance of a secured loan, since the lender had the ability to 
make decisions that could have a significant impact on the success of the entity. Based on the associated agreements 
for the future development of a mixed-use project, we concluded that the other entity was a VIE, but we are not the 
primary beneficiary as the substantive participating rights associated with the entity are shared, and we do not have 
the  power  to  direct  the  significant  activities  of  the  entity.  Our  analysis  considered  that  all  major  decisions  require 
unanimous member consent and those decisions include significant activities such as development, financing, leasing 
and operations of the entity.

A summary of our unconsolidated VIEs is as follows (in thousands):

mixed-use project. See Note 4 for additional information.

(2)  As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the carrying amount of the investment for one VIE is $(6) million and $(9) million, respectively, which 

is included in Other Liabilities and results from the distribution of proceeds from the issuance of debt.

(3)  The maximum risk of loss has been determined to be limited to our debt exposure for the real estate joint ventures. 

We and our partners are subject to the provisions of the joint venture agreements that specify conditions, including 
operating  shortfalls,  development  expenditures  and  unplanned  capital  expenditures,  under  which  additional 
contributions may be required. With respect to our future development of a mixed-used project, we anticipate funding 
approximately $93 million in equity and debt through 2020.

Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements:
Property and Property Held for Sale Impairments
Property is reviewed for impairment if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the 
property, including any identifiable intangible assets, site costs and capitalized interest, may not be recoverable. In 
such an event, a comparison is made of the current and projected operating cash flows of each such property into the 
foreseeable future on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If we conclude that an impairment 
may  have  occurred,  estimated  fair  values  are  determined  by  management  utilizing  cash  flow  models,  market 
capitalization rates and market discount rates, or by obtaining third-party broker valuation estimates, appraisals, bona 
fide purchase offers or the expected sales price of an executed sales agreement in accordance with our fair value 
measurements accounting policy. Market capitalization rates and market discount rates are determined by reviewing 
current sales of similar properties and transactions, and utilizing management’s knowledge and expertise in property 
marketing.

No assets were measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at December 31, 2016. Assets measured at fair value 
on  a  nonrecurring  basis  at  December 31,  2017  aggregated  by  the  level  in  the  fair  value  hierarchy  in  which  those

Note 22.      Business Combination

Effective February 12, 2016, we acquired a partner’s 49% interest in an unconsolidated joint venture associated with 
two centers in Colorado, which resulted in the consolidation of these centers (see Note 18 for additional information). 
Management has determined that this transaction qualified as a business combination to be accounted for under the 
acquisition method. Accordingly, the assets and liabilities of this transaction were recorded in our Consolidated Balance 
Sheet at their estimated fair values as of the effective date. Fair value of assets acquired, liabilities assumed and equity 
interests were estimated using market-based measurements, including cash flow and other valuation techniques. The 
fair value measurements are based on both significant inputs for similar assets and liabilities in comparable markets 
and significant inputs that are not observable in the markets in accordance with our fair value measurements accounting 
policy. Key assumptions include third-party appraisals; a minority interest discount rate of 20%; cash flow discount 
rates ranging from 6.5% to 8%; a terminal capitalization rate for similar properties ranging from 6% to 7.5%; and factors 
that we believe market participants would consider in estimating fair value. The result of this transaction is included in 
our Consolidated Statements of Operations beginning February 12, 2016.

The following table summarizes the business combination, including the assets acquired and liabilities assumed as 
indicated (in thousands):

ITEM 9A. Controls and Procedures

Under  the  supervision  and  with  the  participation  of  our  principal  executive  officer  and  principal  financial  officer, 
management has evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures 
(as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) as of December 31, 2017. Based 
on that evaluation, our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer have concluded that our disclosure 
controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2017.

There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2017
that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S ANNUAL REPORT ON INTERNAL CONTROL OVER FINANCIAL REPORTING

Weingarten Realty Investors and its subsidiaries (“WRI”) maintain a system of internal control over financial reporting, 
as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act, which is a process designed under 
the supervision of WRI’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer and effected by WRI’s Board of Trust 
Managers, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial 
reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted 
accounting principles.

WRI’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that:

•  Pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions 

and dispositions of WRI’s assets;

•  Provide  reasonable  assurance  that  transactions  are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of 
financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and 
expenditures of WRI are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and trust 
managers of WRI; and

•  Provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use 

or disposition of WRI’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

WRI’s management has responsibility for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting 
for WRI. Management, with the participation of WRI’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, conducted 
an evaluation of the effectiveness of WRI’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017 based 
on  the  framework  in  Internal  Control—Integrated  Framework  (2013)  issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring 
Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

Based on their evaluation of WRI’s internal control over financial reporting, WRI’s management along with the Chief 
Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer believe that WRI’s internal control over financial reporting is effective as 
of December 31, 2017.

Deloitte & Touche LLP, WRI’s independent registered public accounting firm that audited the consolidated financial 
statements and financial statement schedules included in this Form 10-K, has issued an attestation report on the 
effectiveness of WRI’s internal control over financial reporting.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM 

To the Shareholders and the Board of Trust Managers of Weingarten Realty Investors

Opinion on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Weingarten Realty Investors and subsidiaries (the 
“Company”) as of December 31, 2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013)
issued  by  the  Committee  of  Sponsoring  Organizations  of  the Treadway  Commission  (COSO).  In  our  opinion,  the 
Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 
2017, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by COSO.

We have also audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United 
States) (PCAOB), the consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedules as of and for the year ended 
December 31, 2017, of the Company and our report dated February 28, 2018, expressed an unqualified opinion on 
those financial statements and financial statement schedules.

Basis for Opinion 

The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for 
its  assessment  of  the  effectiveness  of  internal  control  over  financial  reporting,  included  in  the  accompanying 
Management's Annual Report On Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion 
on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit. We are a public accounting firm registered 
with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal 
securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and 
perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was 
maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial 
reporting,  assessing  the  risk  that  a  material  weakness  exists,  testing  and  evaluating  the  design  and  operating 
effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered 
necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding 
the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with 
generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies 
and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect 
the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions 
are  recorded  as  necessary  to  permit  preparation  of  financial  statements  in  accordance  with  generally  accepted 
accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with 
authorizations  of  management  and  directors  of  the  company;  and  (3)  provide  reasonable  assurance  regarding 
prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have 
a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. 
Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become 
inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may 
deteriorate.

FORWARD – LOOKING STATEMENTS

This Annual Report on Form 10-K, together with other statements and information 
publicly disseminated by us, contains certain forward-looking statements within the 
meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 
21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. We intend such forward-
looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking 
statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and 
include this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. 
Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe 
our future plans, strategies and expectations, are generally identifiable by use of the 
words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” or similar 
expressions. You should not rely on forward-looking statements since they involve 
known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, which are, in some cases, 
beyond our control and which could materially affect actual results, performances 
or achievements. Factors which may cause actual results to differ materially from 
current expectations include, but are not limited to, (i) disruptions in financial 
markets, (ii) general economic and local real estate conditions, (iii) the inability of 
major tenants to continue paying their rent obligations due to bankruptcy, insolvency 
or general downturn in their business, (iv) financing risks, such as the inability to 
obtain equity, debt, or other sources of financing on favorable terms and changes in 
LIBOR availability, (v) changes in governmental laws and regulations, (vi) the level and 
volatility of interest rates, (vii) the availability of suitable acquisition opportunities, (viii) 
the ability to dispose of properties, (ix) changes in expected development activity, (x) 
increases in operating costs, (xi) tax matters, including the effect of changes in tax 
laws and the failure to qualify as a real estate investment trust, and (xii) investments 
through real estate joint ventures and partnerships, which involve risks not present 
in investments in which we are the sole investor. Accordingly, there is no assurance 
that our expectations will be realized. For further discussion of the factors that could 
materially affect the outcome of our forward-looking statements and our future results 
and financial condition, see “Item 1A. Risk Factors.”
