(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.

(2)  Includes a special dividend of $1.40 and $0.75 per common share for 2018 and 2017, respectively.
(3)  Similar to NAREIT FFO above, EBITDAre is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by NAREIT and is commonly used in the real estate 
industry. Additionally the non-GAAP measure, Core EBITDAre, is a supplemental measure we use to further reflect our core operating 
performance of our portfolio of properties. EBITDAre and Core EBITDAre should not be considered as alternatives to net income or other 
measurements under GAAP as indicators of operating performance or to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as 
measures of liquidity.  EBITDAre and Core EBITDAre do not reflect working capital changes, cash expenditures for capital improvements 
or principal payments on indebtedness. Please refer to our Supplemental Financial Information filed in Exhibit 99.1 to the Form 8-K on 
February 22, 2019 for a definition of EBITDAre and Core EBITDAre. 

(4)  Includes area available to be leased that is owned by WRI, our joint venture partners and others not under our management.

In 2018, we saw many of our merchants begin to reap the benefits of their successful omni-channel networks 
which validated our long-held belief that a combination of an internet presence and well-located bricks and 
mortar stores would be the key to success in the retail world.  As merchants continue to refine this strategy, 
the importance of outstanding shopping centers in great locations becomes undeniable.  In reacting to market 
signals, we continued to dispose of properties that no longer fit the profile of the shopping centers we want to own 
going forward.  While this has resulted in a much stronger portfolio and further strengthened our balance sheet, it 
has been dilutive to Funds from Operations in the short-term.  Nevertheless, our accomplishments in 2018 were 
especially impressive as we continued our disposition strategy while remaining laser-focused on operating our 
existing portfolio and producing strong results in 2018, generating the following highlights:

•  Net income attributable to common shareholders (“Net Income”) was $2.55 per diluted share 

(hereinafter “per share”) for the year compared to $2.60 per share in 2017;

•  Core Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders (“Core FFO”) was $2.28 

per share for the year ended 2018 compared to $2.45 per share for 2017;

•  Same Property Net Operating Income (“SPNOI”) including redevelopments increased 2.5% 

over the year ended 2017; 

•  Rental rates on new leases and renewals completed during the year were up 18.7% and 

6.1%, respectively;

•  Signed occupancy decreased slightly from 94.8% a year ago to 94.4% at year-end 2018 as we 

fill the big boxes vacated by Toys R Us in 2018;

•  Dispositions totaled $635 million in 2018; 

•  Balance sheet leverage was reduced with Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre of 5.0 times;

•  Invested $139 million in new development and redevelopment projects in 2018; and

•  Paid a special dividend of $1.40 per share to shareholders in December of 2018.

While we believe we will continue to 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 proceed 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, 2018, Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders in 
accordance with the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts definition (“NAREIT FFO”) was $307.9 
million or $2.40 per share compared to $311.6 million or $2.40 per share for 2017.  Core FFO, which we consider 
to be the most important measure of our performance, was $292.5 million or $2.28 per share for 2018 compared 
to $318.4 million or $2.45 per share for 2017.  The net decrease is primarily due to increased income from the 
existing portfolio, specifically increases in base minimum rent and lower interest expense offset by the impact of 
our disposition program.

Among the most important operating metrics in our industry is SPNOI.  During 2018, SPNOI, including the impact 
of our redevelopment program, increased by 2.5% over 2017, driven primarily by an increase in base minimum 
rent.  Occupancy of our Same Property portfolio was 94.8%.  We also produced solid leasing results during 2018 

1

with 850 new leases and renewals totaling 3.5 million square feet and representing $66.3 million of annualized 
revenue.  The average rental rate increases on new leases and renewals signed during the year was 8.5%, with 
rental rates on new leases up a very strong 18.7% and renewals up 6.1%, a testimony to the ever-increasing 
quality of our transformed portfolio.

While we believe we will 
continue to 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 proceed in 
a controlled, confident 
manner.

We are making great progress on all of our projects under 
development.  West Alex is our development in Alexandria, 
Virginia that will include 278 multi-family units and 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.  Centro Arlington is our 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%.  We are 
scheduled to begin residential pre-leasing activities in the latter 

half of the year at both West Alex and Centro Arlington and expect to have a modest amount of revenue on-
line before year-end.  At Centro, we expect Harris Teeter to open near the end of 2019.  We are excited as both 
projects will benefit from their close proximity to Amazon HQ2 and the strong northern Virginia market.

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 is now substantially leased with the Whole Foods expected to open 
in the fall of 2019.  

We continue to make progress on an exciting redevelopment project at our prominent River Oaks Shopping Center 
in Houston, Texas.  This is an incredible infill location adjacent to a premier residential community in Houston.  
The Driscoll at River Oaks is a 30 story luxury high-rise that will include over 300 residential units with around 
10,000 square feet of ground floor retail.  The total project cost will approximate $150 million.  This addition to our 
property will clearly benefit all of our merchants and greatly enhance the value of this already outstanding asset.  

We also have 15 active redevelopment projects, not including our River Oaks residential tower, where we will invest 
about $90 million at returns averaging between 8% to 14%.  During 2018, we invested about $38 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 2018.  As such, we sold properties totaling $635 million in 2018.  We have focused on improving the 
overall quality of our portfolio by reducing 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 our Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA to a 
very strong 5.0 times, which is among the lowest in our sector.  Our debt maturities remain very favorably laddered 
with no significant maturities through 2022.

With the significant gains generated by our 2018 dispositions, we paid a special dividend in December 2018 of 
$1.40 per share.  If we achieve our 2019 business plan for dispositions of between $250 million and $350 million, 
we will likely also pay a special dividend in 2019.

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 
Sustainability Report is available online for an in-depth look at 
our sustainability initiatives and accomplishments.

We have also utilized 
these disposition 
proceeds to pay down 
debt, which reduced 
our Net Debt to 
Adjusted EBITDA to a 
very strong 5.0 times, 
which is among the 
lowest in our sector.

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.  While the magnitude of our dispositions in 
2018 will negatively impact our results in 2019, this continues to improve the quality of our portfolio and positions 
us to take advantage of future opportunities as they arise.  

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.

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, 2018, for information on certain recent developments of the Company. 

Narrative  Description  of  Business.    We  are  in  the  business  of  owning,  managing  and  developing  retail  shopping 
centers. At December 31, 2018, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest 
in real estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 178 properties, which are located in 17 states spanning the 
country from coast to coast. The portfolio of properties contains approximately 35.1 million square feet of gross leasable 
area that is either owned by us or others. We also owned interests in 24 parcels of land held for development that 
totaled approximately 14.0 million square feet.

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 United States ("U.S."). We expect to achieve this goal by:

• 

• 

• 

• 

• 

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

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

disciplined growth from strategic acquisitions, redevelopments 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.

Table of Contents

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 11.9%, 19.7% and 30.4%, respectively, 
of  our  total  properties'  gross  leasable  area.  Total  revenues  generated  by  our  centers  located  in  Houston  and  its 
surrounding areas was 18.8% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018, and an additional 8.7% of total 
revenue was generated in 2018 from centers that are located in other parts of Texas. An additional 20.4% and 17.2%, 
respectively, of total revenue was generated in 2018 in Florida and California. As of December 31, 2018, we also had 
24 parcels of land held for development, five of which were located in Houston and its surrounding areas and 10 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.

With respect to tenant diversification, our two largest tenants, The Kroger Co. and TJX Companies, Inc., accounted 
for 2.6% and 2.1%, respectively, of our total base minimum rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2018. 
No other tenant accounted for more than 1.7% 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, 2018. 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, 2018 and 2017, our debt to total assets before depreciation 
ratio was 36.4% and 38.6%, 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. As of the date of this filing, $181.5 million of common shares remained 
available to be repurchased under the plan.

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.

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, 2018, 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.

Employees.    At December 31, 2018, we employed 254 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 nine 
regional offices located in various parts of the U.S. Management considers its relations with their personnel to be good.

Company Website and SEC Filings.    Our website may be accessed at www.weingarten.com. We use the Investors 
section of our website as a channel for routine distribution of important information, including news releases, analyst 
presentations and financial information. All of our filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") can 
be accessed, and we post filings as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with, or furnished 
to, the SEC, including our annual, quarterly and current reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, our proxy statements 
and any amendments to those reports or statements. All such postings and filings are available on our website free 
of charge. You may also view any materials we file with the SEC at the SEC’s Internet site at www.sec.gov. 

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.

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;

3

Table of Contents

•  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 tenant's ability to anticipate or revise their marketing and/or sales approach to meet changes 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.

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 increases in 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, 
severe weather conditions 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.

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 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.

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 and/or mixed use 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;

•  Delivery of multi-family units into uncertain residential environments may result in lower rents, sale price or 

take longer periods of time to reach economic stabilization;

•  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.

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. 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

•  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, 2018, we had outstanding approximately $22.7 million of debt that was indexed to the London 
Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”). Central banks around the world, including the Federal Reserve, have commissioned 
working groups of market participants and official sector representatives with the goal of finding suitable replacements 
for LIBOR based on observable market transactions. It is expected that a transition away from the widespread use of 
LIBOR to alternative rates will occur over the course of the next few years. The United Kingdom Financial Conduct 
Authority (the authority that regulates LIBOR) announced it intends to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the 
calculation of LIBOR after 2021.

Accordingly,  there  is  considerable  uncertainty  regarding  the  publication  of  such  rates  beyond  2021.  The  Federal 
Reserve Bank of New York and various other authorities have commenced the publication of reforms and actions 
relating to alternatives to United States dollar LIBOR (“USD-LIBOR”). The Alternative Reference Rates Committee 
("ARRC") has proposed that the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") is the rate that represents best practice 
in the United States as the alternative to LIBOR for use in derivatives and other financial contracts that are currently 
indexed to USD-LIBOR. ARRC has proposed a paced market transition plan to SOFR from LIBOR, and organizations 
are currently working on industry wide and company specific transition plans as it relates to derivatives and cash 
markets exposed to USD-LIBOR rates. Although the full impact of such reforms and actions, together with any transition 
away  from  LIBOR,  including  the  potential  or  actual  discontinuance  of  LIBOR  publication,  remains  unclear,  these 
changes may have a material adverse impact on the availability of financing, including LIBOR-based loans, and 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.

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.

Table of Contents

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

As most recently experienced in connection with the enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 ("Tax Act") on 
December 22, 2017, 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  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.

10

Table of Contents

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.

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.

11

Table of Contents

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.

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.

12

Table of Contents

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, 2018, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in real 
estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 178 centers, primarily neighborhood, community and power shopping 
centers, which are located in 17 states spanning the country from coast to coast with approximately 35.1 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 24 parcels of land that totaled 
approximately 14.0 million square feet at December 31, 2018 of which approximately 13.8 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 2018, no single center accounted for more than 7.5% of our total assets or 3.7% of base minimum rental revenues. 
The five largest centers, in the aggregate, represented approximately 12% of our base minimum rental revenues for 
the year ended December 31, 2018; 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, 2018, the weighted average occupancy rate for our centers was 94.4% compared to 94.8% as 
of December 31, 2017. The average base rent per square foot was approximately $19.35 in 2018, $18.69 in 2017, 
$17.93 in 2016, $16.92 in 2015 and $16.24 in 2014 for our centers.

We have approximately 4,000 separate leases with 3,000 different tenants. Included among our top revenue-producing 
tenants  are: The  Kroger  Co., TJX  Companies,  Inc.,  Whole  Foods  Market,  Inc.,  Ross  Stores,  Inc.,  H-E-B  Grocery 
Company, LP, PetSmart, Inc., Albertsons Companies, Inc., 24 Hour Fitness Worldwide, Inc., Home Depot, Inc., and 
Bed, Bath & Beyond Inc. The diversity of our tenant base is also evidenced by the fact that our largest tenant, The 
Kroger Co., accounted for only 2.6% of base minimum rental revenues during 2018.

New Development
At December 31, 2018, we had four projects in various stages of development that were partially or wholly owned. We 
have funded $246.6 million through December 31, 2018 on these projects. We estimate our aggregate net investment 
upon completion to be $512.5 million. These projects are forecasted to have an average stabilized return on investment 
of  approximately  5.6%  when  completed.  Effective  January  1,  2019,  we  stabilized  the  development  in  Seattle, 
Washington, moving it to our operating property portfolio, which added 63,000 square feet to the portfolio at an estimated 
cost per square foot of $490.

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

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 35.1 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 2.6% of base minimum rental revenues during 2018.

At December 31, 2018, we owned or operated under long-term leases, either directly or through our interest in real 
estate joint ventures or partnerships, a total of 178 properties, which are located in 17 states spanning the country 
from coast to coast.

We also owned interests in 24 parcels of land held for development that totaled approximately 14.0 million square feet 
at December 31, 2018.

We had approximately 4,000 leases with 3,000 different tenants at December 31, 2018. Leases for our properties 
range from less than a year for smaller spaces to over 10 years for larger tenants and may include options to extend 
the lease term in increments up to five years. 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 that 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 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 intend to continue to be very prudent in our evaluation of all new investment opportunities. We 
believe the pricing of assets that no longer meet our ownership criteria remains reasonably stable while the price of 
our common shares has dropped well below our net asset value. Given these conditions, we have been focused on 
dispositions of properties with risk factors that impact our willingness to own them going forward, and although we will 
continue  with  this  strategy,  our  dispositions  in  2019  will  decrease  compared  to  2018. Additionally,  we  utilized  the 
proceeds to repurchase common shares, pay down our debt and fund both our new development and redevelopment 
projects. 

As we discussed above, we continuously recycle non-core operating centers that no longer meet our ownership criteria 
and that will provide capital for growth opportunities. During 2018, 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 $633.6 million. We have approximately $269 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. Looking ahead to 2019, we currently intend to continue to opportunistically take advantage of the market 
conditions;  however,  we  expect  the  volume  of  dispositions  will  significantly  decrease  from  those  in  2018,  and  we 
anticipate that our dispositions could potentially range from $250 million to $350 million.

26

Table of Contents

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. Due to the immense amount of capital available in the market, it has been 
difficult to participate at price points that meet our investment criteria. For 2019, we expect to complete acquisition 
investments in the range of $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 redevelopment opportunities. Although we have recently 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 2018, we invested $102.5 million in three mixed-use new development projects that are partially or 
wholly owned and a 30-story, high-rise residential tower at our River Oaks Shopping Center in Houston, Texas. Also 
during 2018, we invested $37.9 million in 15 redevelopment projects that were partially or wholly owned. Effective 
January 1, 2019, we stabilized the development in Seattle, Washington, moving it to our operating property portfolio, 
which added 63,000 square feet to the portfolio at an estimated cost per square foot of $490. For 2019, we expect to 
invest  in  new  development  and  redevelopments  in  the  range  of  $175  million  to  $225  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 accessibility 
will be available in the future. During 2018, we paid down debt totaling $251.0 million and repurchased $18.5 million
(before commissions) of our common shares. These transactions were funded with proceeds from our disposition 
program and cash generated from operations to further strengthen our balance sheet. 

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 2018 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 94.4% at December 31, 2018;

an increase of 3.4% in SPNOI that includes redevelopments for the three months ended December 31, 2018 
over the same period of 2017; and

rental  rate  increases  of  37.4%  for  new  leases  and  5.3%  for  renewals  during  the  three  months  ended 
December 31, 2018.

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 and service providers that sell primarily grocery 
and basic necessity-type goods and services, position us well to mitigate the impact of these changes. Additionally, 
most retailers have implemented omni-channel networks that integrate on-line shopping with in-store experiences that 
has further reinforced the need for bricks and mortar locations. 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 2019 to increase slightly from 2018, we may experience some fluctuations due to 
announced bankruptcies and the repositioning of those spaces in the future. A reduction in the availability of quality 
retail space, 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; however, the magnitude of these increases decreased 
in comparison to previous years due to, among other factors, a recent shift in negotiating leverage to the tenant. We 
expect rental rates to continue to increase and the funding of tenant improvements and allowances could increase; 
however, the variability in the mix of leasing transactions as to size of space, market, use and other factors may impact 
the magnitude of these increases, both positively and negatively. Leasing volume is anticipated to fluctuate due to the 
uncertainty in tenant fallouts related to bankruptcies and tenant non-renewals. Our expectation is that SPNOI growth 
including redevelopments will average between 2.0% to 3.0% for 2019 assuming no significant tenant bankruptcies, 
although there are no assurances that this will occur. 

New Development/Redevelopment
At December 31, 2018, we had three mixed-use projects and a 30-story, high-rise residential tower at our River Oaks 
Shopping Center that were in various stages of development and are partially or wholly owned. We have funded $246.6 
million through December 31, 2018 on these projects, and we estimate our aggregate net investment upon completion 
to be $512.5 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 5.6% upon completion. 

We have 15 redevelopment projects in which we plan to invest approximately $90.8 million. Upon completion, the 
average projected stabilized return on our incremental investment on these redevelopment projects is expected to be 
between 8.0% and 14.0%.

28

Table of Contents

We had approximately $45.7 million in land held for development at December 31, 2018 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 driven pricing to very high levels. 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, to repurchase our common shares and/or debt, dependent upon 
market prices, or to fund new development and redevelopment projects. 

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.

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.

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.

29

Table of Contents

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 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.

Revenues
The decrease in revenues of $42.0 million is primarily attributable to the $62.6 million impact of dispositions. Offsetting 
this  decrease,  the  existing  portfolio,  including  new  development  and  redevelopment  properties,  contributed  $10.5 
million resulting from increases in rental rates and changes in occupancy. We also realized a $10.1 million increase 
associated with the write-off of a below-market lease intangible from the termination of a tenant's lease.

Depreciation and Amortization
The decrease in depreciation and amortization of $5.3 million is primarily attributable to the $16.3 million impact of our 
dispositions, which is offset by the write-off and amortization of in-place lease intangibles of $9.6 million and other 
capital activities.

Operating Expenses
The decrease in operating expenses of $18.8 million is primarily attributable to dispositions of $7.5 million, a $3.1 
million lease termination fee paid in 2017, $4.9 million in management fees associated primarily with a reduction in 
compensation expense, $1.9 million in insurance costs associated with hurricane costs recognized in 2017 and $3.6 
million in costs associated with the deferred compensation plan. Offsetting the above decreases is an increase in other 
miscellaneous operating expenses of $2.2 million associated primarily with repairs and maintenance.

Real Estate Taxes, net
The decrease in net real estate taxes of $6.4 million is primarily attributable to the impact of dispositions between the 
respective periods.

Impairment Loss
The impairment loss in 2018 is associated primarily with the disposition of three centers as compared to the losses in 
2017  associated  with  the  disposition  of  four  centers,  interests  in  two  50%  unconsolidated  joint  ventures  and  the 
disposition of an unimproved land parcel.

General and Administrative Expenses
The decrease in general and administrative expenses of $3.0 million is primarily attributable to a reduction in salary 
expense associated with a fair value decrease of $1.8 million for assets held in a grantor trust related to deferred 
compensation and a decrease in restricted share compensation due to unanticipated reductions in our share valuation, 
as well as a reduction in personnel.

Interest Expense, net
Net interest expense decreased $17.0 million or 21.1%. The components of net interest expense were as follows (in 
thousands): 

Gross interest expense

The decrease in net interest expense is primarily attributable to a reduction in the weighted average debt outstanding 
due to the pay down of debt with proceeds from dispositions and cash generated from operations, and a $3.8 million 
gain  on  extinguishment  of  debt  during  2018,  which  includes  the  effect  of  a  swap  termination.  For  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2018, the weighted average debt outstanding was $1.9 billion at a weighted average interest rate of 
4.0% as compared to $2.2 billion outstanding at a weighted average interest rate of 3.8% in the same period of 2017. 
Also the increase in capitalized interest of $3.1 million is associated with an increase in new development activities.

Interest and Other Income (Expense)
The decrease of $4.7 million in interest and other income (expense) is attributable primarily to a fair value decrease 
of $5.4 million for assets held in a grantor trust related to deferred compensation, which is offset by a net $.6 million 
increase primarily associated with fair value changes associated with commercial paper, money market and other 
investments.

Gain on Sale of Property
The decrease of $10.7 million in gain on sale of property is attributable primarily to the disposition of 21 centers and 
other property in 2018 as compared to 16 centers and other property in 2017.

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 loss of $15.2 million is primarily attributable to losses recognized in 2017. The impairment 
loss in 2017 is associated with the disposition of four centers, interests in two 50% unconsolidated joint ventures and 
the disposition of an unimproved land parcel as compared to the losses in 2016 associated with the disposition of two 
unimproved land parcels.

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 (Expense)
The increase in interest and other income (expense) 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 of Property
The increase of $117.9 million is primarily attributable to the gain on sale of 16 centers and other property in 2017 as 
compared to 12 centers and other property in 2016.

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

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. Some 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 slowly.

Economic Conditions

We believe that underlying economic fundamentals continue to show positive, albeit slow, growth. Consumer confidence 
recently hit a near all-time high before declining slightly in recent months. With the election cycle over, we believe that 
consumer confidence could continue to remain high due to strong economic indicators, low unemployment rates, wage 
growth and changes in the tax law. 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 rising home 
prices will further strengthen retail fundamentals, including rent growth and operating results. 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,  a  strong  petroleum  market  has  positively 
impacted the local economy and has favorably affected the office and multifamily real estate sectors. If oil prices should 
decline  again  for  an  extended  duration,  the  performance  of  our  centers  in  the  Houston  market  could  be  affected. 
However, we believe that any potential negative impact to our Houston properties will be mitigated by our positioning 
of properties in dense, high-income areas of Houston, coupled with below average amount of retail square feet delivered 
in recent years and with the diversification of Houston's economy.

The trade areas for our portfolio of centers have seen robust growth in personal income and home values over the 
past year. 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 2019 
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.

As of December 31, 2018, we had available borrowing capacity of $492.9 million under our unsecured revolving credit 
facility, and our debt maturities for 2019 total $73.0 million. As of December 31, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents 
available of $65.9 million. During 2018, we used excess cash on hand to prepay our $200 million unsecured term loan, 
to repay $51.0 million of outstanding debt, which included $14.2 million of unsecured debt purchased on the open 
market,  to  repurchase  $18.5  million  (before  commissions)  of  our  common  shares,  to  invest  $141.8  million  in  new 
development and redevelopment projects and to pay a special dividend of $179.7 million. Currently, we anticipate our 
disposition activities to continue and estimate between $250 million to $350 million in dispositions for 2019.

34

Table of Contents

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, 
redevelopment and new development activities and special dividends. 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 impediments to our entering the capital markets 
if needed.

During 2018, aggregate gross sales proceeds from our dispositions totaled $633.6 million, which were owned by us 
either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures or partnerships. Operating cash flows from assets 
disposed  are  included  in  net  cash  from  operating  activities  in  our  Consolidated  Statements  of  Cash  Flows,  while 
proceeds from these disposals are included as investing activities. 

We have non-recourse debt secured by acquired or developed properties held in several of our real estate joint ventures 
and partnerships. At December 31, 2018, off-balance sheet mortgage debt for our unconsolidated real estate joint 
ventures and partnerships totaled $269.1 million, of which our pro rata ownership is $89.2 million. Scheduled principal 
mortgage payments on this debt, excluding deferred debt costs and non-cash related items totaling $(.8) million, at 
100% are as follows (in millions):

We generally have the right to sell or otherwise dispose of our assets except in certain cases where we are required

100% owned by us.

Investing Activities

Dispositions
During  2018,  we  sold  25  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 $633.6 million and generated our share of the gains of approximately $203.4 million.

New Development/Redevelopment
At December 31, 2018, we had three mixed-use projects and a 30-story, high-rise residential tower at our River Oaks 
Shopping Center under development with approximately .3 million of total square footage for retail and office space 
and 962 residential units, that were partially or wholly owned. We have funded $246.6 million through December 31, 
2018 on these projects. Upon completion, we expect our aggregate net investment in these multi-use projects to be 
$512.5  million.  Effective  January  1,  2019,  we  stabilized  the  development  in  Seattle,  Washington,  moving  it  to  our 
operating property portfolio, which added 63,000 square feet to the portfolio at an estimated cost per square foot of 
$490.

At December 31, 2018, we had 15 redevelopment projects in which we plan to invest approximately $90.8 million. 
Upon  completion,  the  average  projected  stabilized  return  on  our  incremental  investment  on  these  redevelopment 
projects is expected to be between 8.0% and 14.0%. 

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.

The  increase  in  capital  expenditures  is  attributable  primarily  to  increased  activity  at  our  new  development  and 
redevelopment centers.

For 2019, we anticipate our acquisitions to total approximately $50 million to $150 million. Our new development and 
redevelopment investment for 2019 is estimated to be approximately $175 million to $225 million. For 2019, capital 
and tenant improvements is expected to be consistent with 2018 expenditures. No assurances can be provided that 
our planned activities will occur. Further, we have entered into commitments aggregating $190.7 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 or through the use of excess cash.

Capital  expenditures  for  additions  described  above  relate  to  cash  flows  from  investing  activities  as  follows  (in

Financing Activities

Debt
Total debt outstanding was $1.8 billion at December 31, 2018 and consists of $22.7 million, which bears interest at 
variable rates, and $1.8 billion, which bears interest at fixed rates. Additionally, of our total debt, $337.3 million was 
secured by operating centers while the remaining $1.5 billion was unsecured.

At December 31, 2018, 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, 2018, 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 
February 15, 2019, we had no amounts outstanding, and the available balance was $497.9 million, net of $2.1 million 
in outstanding letters of credit.

36

Table of Contents

At December 31, 2018, we have a $10 million unsecured short-term facility that we maintain for cash management 
purposes. The facility, which matures in March 2019, 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 February 
15, 2019, we had no amounts outstanding under this facility.

During 2018, the maximum balance and weighted average balance outstanding under both facilities combined were 
$26.5 million and $1.1 million, respectively, at a weighted average interest rate of 2.9%.

During 2018, we prepaid our $200 million unsecured variable-rate term loan, swapped to a fixed rate of 2.5%, and 
terminated the associated interest rate swap contracts (see Note 7 for additional information). Additionally during 2018, 
we paid at par $51.0 million of outstanding debt. These transactions resulted in a net gain upon their extinguishment 
of $.4 million, excluding the effect of the swap termination. 

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, 
2018.

Our most restrictive public debt covenant ratios, as defined in our indenture and supplemental indenture agreements, 
were as follows at December 31, 2018:

Covenant

Debt to Asset Ratio

Less than 60.0%

Secured Debt to Asset Ratio

As of December 31, 2018, we had no active interest rate swap contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2018, 
associated with the prepayment of an unsecured note, we terminated three interest rate swap contracts that had an 
aggregate notional amount of $200 million, and we recognized a $3.4 million gain due to the probability that the related 
hedged forecasted transactions would no longer occur. 

Equity
Common share dividends paid totaled $382.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, which includes a special 
dividend paid in December 2018 in the amount of $1.40 per common share or $179.7 million, which was distributed 
due to the 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, 2018 approximated 130.8% (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures for additional information). Our Board of Trust 
Managers approved a first quarter 2019 dividend of $.395 per common share. 

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. 

For the year ended December 31, 2018, we repurchased .7 million common shares at an average price of $27.10 per 
share. At December 31, 2018 and as of the date of this filing, $181.5 million of common shares remained available to 
be repurchased 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

Includes principal and interest with interest on variable-rate debt calculated using rates at December 31, 2018. Also, excludes a $60.9 
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 2019, 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 16 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 $60.9 million remain outstanding 
at December 31, 2018. 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, 2018.

As of December 31, 2018, 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 $2.1 million were outstanding under the unsecured 
revolving credit facility at December 31, 2018.

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.

As of December 31, 2018, 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, 2018. Also at December 31, 2018, 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 $57 million associated with the mixed-use project through 2020.

Effective December 31, 2018, a real estate limited partnership agreement with a foreign institutional investor was 
amended to include potential acquisitions of real estate approved by the institutional investor of up to $61 million 
through December 31, 2019 with an option to extend an additional one-year period with consent of the institutional 
investor. 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  that  have  been  sold.  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 net income attributable to common shareholders and adjusted for net income attributable 
to noncontrolling interests, other income (expense), income taxes and equity in earnings of real estate joint ventures 
and partnerships. Additionally to reconcile to SPNOI, we exclude the effects of 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 and amortization, impairment losses, general and administrative expenses 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 
common shareholders to SPNOI is as follows (in thousands):

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 may be 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, 2018, we had fixed-rate debt of $1.8 billion and variable-rate debt of 
$22.7 million. 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 $.3 million and $86.8 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, 2018 and 2017, the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive 
income, equity, and cash flows, for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2018, 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, 2018 and 2017, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the 
period ended December 31, 2018, 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, 2018, 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,  2019,  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 35.1 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 2.6% of base minimum rental revenues during 2018. Total revenues generated by our centers 
located in Houston and its surrounding areas was 18.8% of total revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018, and 
an additional 8.7% of total revenue was generated in 2018 from centers that are located in other parts of Texas. Also, 
in Florida and California, an additional 20.4% and 17.2%, respectively, of total revenue was generated in 2018. 

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.

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.  Both  of  these  revenues  have  been  recognized  under Accounting  Standards  Codification  No.  840, 
“Leases.” 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
Other revenue consists of both customer contract revenue and income from contractual agreements with third parties, 
tenants or partially owned real estate joint ventures or partnerships, which do not meet the definition of a lease or a 
customer contract. Revenues which do not meet the definition of a lease or customer contract are recognized as the 
related services are performed under the respective agreements.

Table of Contents

We have identified primarily three types of customer contract revenue; (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. At contract inception, we assess the services provided in these contracts and identify any performance 
obligations that are distinct. To identify the performance obligation, we consider all services whether explicitly stated 
or implied by customary business practices. We have identified the following substantive services, which may or may 
not be included in each contract type, that represent performance obligations:

We also assess collectability of the customer contract revenue prior to recognition. None of these customer contracts 
include a significant financing component. Customer contract revenue for the year ended December 31, 2018 does 
not include any amounts that were from obligations satisfied (or partially satisfied) in prior periods, or was a contract 
liability at January 1, 2018. 

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.

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.

51

Table of Contents

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 operations through the disposal date and any 
associated gains are included in income from continuing operations. 

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.

Accrued Rent, Accrued Contract Receivables and Accounts Receivable, net
Receivables include base rents, tenant reimbursements, amounts billed and currently due from customer contracts 
and receivables attributable to straight-line rental commitments. Accrued contract receivables includes amounts due 
from customers for contracts that do not qualify as a lease in which we earned the right to the consideration through 
the satisfaction of the performance obligation, but before the customer pays consideration or before payment is due. 
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 collectability of the related receivables. Management’s estimate of the 
collectability 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):

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. 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 20 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 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.

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.

These sales primarily fall under two types of contracts (1) sales of nonfinancial assets and (2) sales of investments in 
real estate joint ventures and partnerships. We review the sale contract to determine appropriate accounting guidance. 
Profits on sales of real estate are primarily not recognized until (a) a contract exists including: each party’s rights are 
identifiable along with the payment terms, the contract has commercial substance and the collection of consideration 
is probable; and (b) the performance obligation to transfer control of the asset has occurred; including transfer to the 
buyer of the usual risks and rewards of ownership.

We recognize gains on the sale of real estate to joint ventures and partnerships in which we participate to the extent 
we receive consideration from the joint venture or partnership, if it meets the sales criteria in accordance with GAAP.

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.

53

Table of Contents

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.

Accrued contract receivables are reviewed for impairment based on changes in events or circumstances effecting our 
customers that may indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. An impairment charge will 
be recorded if we determine that the decline in the asset value is other than temporary or recovery of the cost basis 
is uncertain. Factors to be considered include current economic trends such as bankruptcy and market conditions 
affecting our investments in partially owned real estate joint ventures and partnerships.

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.

Table of Contents

On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted the Tax Act. The Tax Act made 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 
the impact of the Tax Act (see Note 12 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.

•  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:
We have two separate and independent nonqualified supplemental retirement plans (“SRP”) for certain employees 
that are classified as defined contribution plans. These unfunded plans provide benefits in excess of the statutory limits 
of our noncontributory cash balance retirement plan. For active participants, 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 2012 no longer receive service credits but continue to receive a 7.5%
interest credit for active participants. All inactive participants receive a December 31, 90-day LIBOR rate plus .50%
interest credit.

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 Other, 
net 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. Deferred share-based compensation cannot be diversified, and distributions from this plan are made in the 
same form as the original deferral.

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.

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 results, 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.

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: 

Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
Cash equivalents and restricted cash are valued based on publicly-quoted market prices for identical assets. 

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. 

57

Table of Contents

Derivative Instruments
We used interest rate contracts with major financial institutions to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of 
these instruments was determined based on assumptions that management believed market participants would 
use in pricing, using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected 
cash flows of each derivative. The analysis reflected the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period 
to maturity, and used 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) were based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward 
curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.

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. 

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.  2017-07,  "Improving  the 
Presentation of Net Periodic Pensions Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost" on prior year's Consolidated 
Statements of Operations was made to conform to the current year presentation (see Note 2 for additional information). 

Note 2.      Newly Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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, were effective for us on January 1, 2018. We adopted this guidance 
as of January 1, 2018 and applied it on a modified retrospective approach upon adoption.

59

Table of Contents

The adoption 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. 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, we recognized the cumulative effect for these fees which has increased 
retained earnings and accrued rent, accrued contract receivables and accounts receivable, net each by $.3 million. In 
addition, we evaluated controls around the implementation of this ASU and have concluded there was no significant 
impact on our control structure. We have included our customer contract revenues under the caption Other revenues 
in the Consolidated Statements of Operations and have expanded our disclosures related to this ASU in Note 1. 

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 were effective for us 
as  of  January  1,  2018  and  are  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 stranded tax effects of ASU No. 2018-02, 
"Reclassification of Certain Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income." 

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 were 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 and for contracts considered not completed. We recognized the cumulative effect for in substance 
nonfinancial assets in which gains would have been realized and have increased each of retained earnings and other 
assets by $3.6 million 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 were 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. 
The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements. We have elected to 
use the practical expedient in determining estimates for applying the retrospective presentation requirements. For the 
year ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, net periodic benefit cost originally included in General and administrative 
expenses, excluding the service cost component, of $.4 million and $.7 million, respectively, was included in Interest 
and Other Income (Expense) in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

60

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 required the modified retrospective transition method upon adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not 
have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

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 Cuts and Jobs Act to retained earnings. The provisions of ASU No. 2018-02 are effective for us as of January 1, 
2019, were to be applied either at the beginning of the period of adoption or retrospectively, and early adoption was 
permitted. We adopted this ASU along with the adoption of ASU No. 2016-01 on January 1, 2018 and reclassified the 
related stranded tax effects of $.8 million in accumulated other comprehensive loss into retained earnings.

Not Yet Adopted
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases." This ASU was further updated by ASU 2018-01, "Land 
Easement Practical Expedient for Transition for Topic 842", ASU 2018-10, "Codification Improvements to Topic 842", 
ASU 2018-11, "Targeted Improvements for Topic 842" and ASU 2018-20, "Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors." 
These ASUs set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both 
lessees and lessors. The ASUs require 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 these ASUs is similar to current guidance, but certain underlying 
principles in the lessor model have been aligned with the new revenue recognition standard. A practical expedient was 
added for lessors to elect, by class of underlying assets, to account for lease and non-lease components as a single 
lease component if certain criteria are met. The provisions of these ASUs were effective for us as of January 1, 2019 
and applied on a modified retrospective approach. 

Upon adoption, we applied the following practical expedients:

•  The transition method in which the application date of January 1, 2019 is the beginning of the reporting period 

that we first applied the new guidance. 

•  The practical expedient package which allows an entity not to reassess (1) whether any expired or existing 
contracts are or contain leases; (2) the lease classification for expired or existing leases; and (3) initial direct 
costs for any existing leases.

•  The practical expedient which allows an entity not to reassess whether any existing or expired land easements 

that were not previously accounted for as a lease or if the contract contains a lease.

•  As an accounting policy election, a lessor may choose not to separate the nonlease components, by class of 
underlying assets, from the lease components and instead account for both types of components as a single 
component under certain conditions. 

•  As an  accounting policy election, a lessee may choose by class of the underlying asset, not to apply the 

recognition requirements to short-term leases. 

We evaluated the impact to our lessor leases and other lessee leases that the adoption of this ASU will have on our 
consolidated financial statements. Based on our analysis, we have identified the following changes resulting from the 
adoption of the new pronouncement on January 1, 2019:

61

Table of Contents

•  From the Lessor Perspective:

  Our existing leases will continue to be classified as operating leases, however, leases entered into or 
modified after January 1, 2019 may be classified as either operating or sales-type leases, based on 
specific classification criteria. We believe the majority of our leases will continue to be classified as 
operating leases, and all operating leases will continue to have a similar pattern of recognition as 
under current GAAP. 

  Capitalization of leasing costs has been limited under the new ASU which no longer allows indirect 
costs to be capitalized. Therefore indirect, internally-generated leasing and legal costs will no longer 
be capitalized upon adoption and will result in an increase in General and administrative expenses in 
our Consolidated Statement of Operations in the period of adoption prospectively. Also, we will continue 
to capitalize direct costs as defined within the ASU. We capitalized internal costs of $9.2 million, $9.5 
million and $9.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. 

  We  are  entitled  to  receive  tenant  reimbursements  for  operating  expenses  for  common  area 
maintenance  (“CAM”).  These  ASUs  have  defined  CAM  reimbursement  revenue  as  a  non-lease 
component, which would need to be accounted for in accordance with Topic 606 (ASU No. 2014-09 
as discussed above). However, we have elected to apply the practical expedient for all our real estate 
related leases, to account for the lease and nonlease components as a single, combined operating 
lease component as long as the non-lease component is not predominate to the combined components 
within a contract.

  We previously accounted for real estate taxes that are paid directly by the tenant in our consolidated 
financial statements. These ASUs have indicated that a lessor should exclude from variable payments, 
lessor costs paid by a lessee directly to a third party. Therefore, beginning January 1, 2019, we are 
excluding any costs paid directly by the tenant from our revenues and expenses and will only include 
as variable payments those which are reimbursed to us by our tenants. Real estate taxes paid directly 
by our tenants was $4.3 million, $4.6 million and $4.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018, 
2017 and 2016, respectively. 

•  From the Lessee Perspective:

  We have ground lease agreements in which we are the lessee for land underneath all or a portion of 
12 centers and four administrative office leases that we account for as operating leases. Also, we 
have one finance lease in which we are the lessee of two centers with a $21.9 million lease obligation. 

Based on current estimates for operating leases, we will recognize right of use assets in Other Assets, 
along with corresponding lease liabilities in Other Liabilities that are estimated to range between $40 
million and $45 million in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. For these existing operating leases, we 
will continue to recognize a single lease expense for its existing ground and office operating leases, 
currently included in Operating expenses and General and administrative expenses, respectively, in 
the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

  We will continue to recognize our finance lease asset balance in Property and our financing lease 
liability in Debt in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Finance leases will charge a portion of the payment 
to both asset amortization and interest expense.

In addition, we evaluated controls around the implementation of these ASUs and have concluded there was no significant 
impact on our control structure.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, "Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments." This 
ASU was further updated by ASU 2018-19, "Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments - Credit 
Losses." These ASUs amend 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 the ASUs 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 the ASUs will have on our consolidated financial statements.

Table of Contents

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, "Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting." 
This ASU  amends  prior  employee  share-based  payment  guidance  to  include  nonemployee  share-based  payment 
transactions for acquiring services or property. This ASU now aligns the determination of the measurement date, the 
accounting for performance conditions, and the accounting for share-based payments after vesting in addition to other 
items. The provisions of ASU No. 2018-07 were effective for us as of January 1, 2019 using a modified transition 
method upon adoption. The adoption of this ASU did not have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In  August  2018,  the  FASB  issued  ASU  No.  2018-13,  "Changes  to  the  Disclosure  Requirements  for  Fair  Value 
Measurement." This ASU amends and removes several disclosure requirements including the valuation processes for 
Level  3  fair  value  measurements.  The ASU  also  modifies  some  disclosure  requirements  and  requires  additional 
disclosures for changes in unrealized gains and losses included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 
fair value measurements and requires the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to 
develop Level 3 fair value measurements. The provisions of ASU No. 2018-13 are effective for us as of January 1, 
2020  using  a  prospective  transition  method  for  amendments  effecting  changes  in  unrealized  gains  and  losses, 
significant  unobservable  inputs  used  to  develop  Level  3  fair  value  measurements  and  narrative  description  on 
uncertainty of measurements. The remaining provisions of the ASU are to be applied retrospectively, and early adoption 
is permitted. Although we are still assessing the impact of this ASU's adoption, we do not believe this ASU will have 
a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, "Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit 
Plans." This ASU clarifies current disclosures and removes several disclosures requirements including accumulated 
other comprehensive income expected to be recognized over the next fiscal year and amount and timing of plan assets 
expected to be returned to the employer. The ASU also requires additional disclosures for the weighted-average interest 
crediting rates for cash balance plans and explanations for significant gains and losses related to changes in the benefit 
plan obligation. The provisions of ASU No. 2018-14 are effective for us as of December 31, 2020 using a retrospective 
basis for all periods presented, and early adoption is permitted. Although we are still assessing the impact of this ASU's 
adoption, we do not believe this ASU will have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we sold 22 centers and other property. Aggregate gross sales proceeds 
from these transactions approximated $557.3 million and generated gains of approximately $162.4 million. Also, for 
the year ended December 31, 2018, we invested $74.1 million in new development projects.

At December 31, 2018, no property was classified as held for sale. At December 31, 2017, three centers, totaling $78.7 
million before accumulated depreciation, were classified as held for sale. None of these centers qualified to be reported 
in  discontinued  operations,  and  gains  of  $45.5  million  were  generated  from  these  centers  during  the  year  ended

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 $5.2 million and $2.2 million
at December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 
charges  for  both  the  year  ended  December 31,  2018  and  2017.  For  the  year  ended  December 31,  2016,  our 
unconsolidated real estate joint ventures and partnerships recorded an impairment charge of 1.3 million, associated 
primarily with various centers that have been marketed and sold during the period.

During 2018, a center was sold through a series of partial sales with gross sales proceeds of approximately $33.9 
million, of which our share of the gain, included in equity in earnings in real estate joint ventures and partnerships, 
totaled $6.3 million. 

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%.

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 rental revenues by $12.8 million, $3.7 million 
and $2.1 million in 2018, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The significant year over year change in rental revenues in 
2018 to 2017 is primarily due to a write-off of a below-market lease intangible from the termination of a tenant's lease. 
The estimated net amortization of these intangible assets and liabilities will increase rental revenues for each of the 
next five years as follows (in thousands):

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, 2018 and 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.

Additionally, we have a $10 million unsecured short-term facility, which was amended and extended on March 27, 
2018, that we maintain for cash management purposes, which matures in March 2019. At both December 31, 2018 
and 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.

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, 2018 and 2017, we had $60.9 million and $64.1 million outstanding for the debt service 
guaranty liability, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we prepaid, without penalty, our $200 million unsecured variable-rate term 
loan, swapped to a fixed rate of 2.5%, and terminated the associated interest rate swap contracts (see Note 7 for 
additional  information). Additionally  during  the  year  ended  December  31,  2018,  we  paid  at  par  $51.0  million  of 
outstanding debt. These transactions resulted in a net gain upon their extinguishment of $.4 million, excluding the 
effect of the swap termination (see Note 7 for additional information). 

Various leases and properties, and current and future rentals from those leases and properties, collateralize certain 
debt. At  December  31,  2018  and  2017,  the  carrying  value  of  such  assets  aggregated  $.6  billion  and  $.7  billion, 
respectively. Additionally  at  December  31,  2018,  investments  of  $5.2  million  in  Restricted  Deposits  and  Mortgage 
Escrows are held as collateral for letters of credit totaling $5.0 million.

Cash Flow Hedges
As of December 31, 2018, we had no active interest rate swap contracts. During the year ended December 31, 2018, 
associated with the prepayment of an unsecured note, we terminated three interest rate swap contracts that had an 
aggregate notional amount of $200 million, and we recognized a $3.4 million gain due to the probability that the related 
hedged forecasted transactions would no longer occur. 

As of December 31, 2017, we had three interest rate swap contracts, maturing through March 1, 2020, with an aggregate 
notional amount of $200 million that were designated as cash flow hedges and fixed the LIBOR component of the 
interest rates at 1.5%. 

As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, the net gain balance in accumulated other comprehensive loss relating to previously 
terminated cash flow interest rate swap contracts was $4.5 million and $7.4 million, respectively, which will be reclassified 
to net interest expense as interest payments are made on the originally hedged debt. Within the next 12 months, 
approximately $.9 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.

Note 8.      Common Shares of Beneficial Interest

We have a $200 million share repurchase plan where 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. 

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we repurchased .7 million common shares at an average price of $27.10
per share. At December 31, 2018 and as of the date of this filing, $181.5 million of common shares remained available 
to be repurchased under this plan. 

Common dividends declared per share were $2.98, $2.29 and $1.46 for the year ended December 31, 2018, 2017
and 2016, respectively. The regular dividend rate per share for our common shares for each quarter of 2018 and 2017 
was $.395 and $.385, respectively. Also in each December 2018 and 2017, we paid a special dividend for our common 
shares in an amount per share of $1.40 and $.75, respectively, which was due to the significant gains on dispositions 
of property. Subsequent to December 31, 2018, a first quarter dividend of $.395 per common share was approved by 
our Board of Trust Managers.

Many of our leases are for terms of less than 10 years and may include multiple options to extend the lease term in

Note 12.      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 $211.0 million and $193.4 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. 

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

Impairment losses and book-tax basis differential liabilities will not be recognized until the related properties are sold. Realization of

indefinite carryforward.

(3)  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

In April 2011, our Long-Term Incentive Plan for the issuance of options and share awards expired, and issued options 
of .1 million remain outstanding as of December 31, 2018.

Under  our Amended  and  Restated  2010  Long-Term  Incentive  Plan  (as  amended)  4.0  million  common  shares  are 
reserved for issuance, and options and share awards of 1.3 million are available for future grant at December 31, 
2018. This plan expires in April 2028.

Compensation expense, net of forfeitures, associated with share options and restricted shares totaled $7.3 million in 
2018, $8.6 million in 2017 and $8.5 million in 2016, of which $1.1 million in 2018, $1.7 million in 2017 and $1.9 million
in 2016 was capitalized. 

Options
The fair value of share options issued prior to 2012 was estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option 
pricing method based on the expected weighted average assumptions.

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 2018.

Defined Contribution Plans:
Compensation expense related to our defined contribution plans was $3.8 million in 2018, $3.9 million in 2017 and 
$3.5 million in 2016.

Note 17.      Related Parties

Through our management activities and transactions with our real estate joint ventures and partnerships, we had net 
accounts receivable of $.5 million and $2.0 million outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. We 
also had accounts payable and accrued expenses of $.7 million and $.4 million outstanding as of December 31, 2018 
and  2017,  respectively.  We  recorded  joint  venture  fee  income  included  in  Other  revenues  for  the  year  ended 
December 31, 2018, 2017 and 2016 of $6.1 million, $6.2 million and $5.1 million, respectively.

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 the land parcel. 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,  and  we  recognized  a  gain  of  $9.0  million  on  the  fair  value 
remeasurement of our equity method investment. In February 2016, in exchange for our partners' aggregate 49% 
interest in a venture and $2.5 million in cash, we distributed one center to our partners, and we re-measured our 
investment in this venture to its fair value, and recognized a gain of $37.4 million. 

Note 18.      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 and in some cases, options to purchase the underlying asset by either the lessor or lessee. Space in 
our shopping centers is leased to tenants pursuant to agreements that provide for terms of less than 10 years and 
may include multiple options to extend the lease term in increments up to five years, 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,

Property under capital leases that is included in buildings and improvements consisted of two centers totaling $15.7 
million and $16.8 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Amortization of property under capital leases 
is included in depreciation and amortization expense, and the balance of accumulated depreciation associated with 
these capital leases was $14.1 million and $15.5 million at December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Future minimum 
lease payments under these capital leases total $29.4 million, of which $7.5 million represents interest. Accordingly, 
the remaining balance of the related lease liability included in Debt, net in the Consolidated Balance Sheet was $21.9

Commitments and Contingencies
As of December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 $36 million and $47 million as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

As of December 31, 2018, we have entered into commitments aggregating $190.7 million comprised principally of 
construction contracts which are generally due in 12 to 36 months.

80

Table of Contents

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 19.      Variable Interest Entities

Consolidated VIEs:
At both December 31, 2018 and 2017, nine of our real estate joint ventures, whose activities primarily consisted of 
owning and operating 21 and 22 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. 

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

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.

Table of Contents

Unconsolidated VIEs:
At both December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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.

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

investment, including contributions and distributions, associated with a mixed-use project is disclosed in (1) above. 

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 $57 million through 2020.

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, 2018. 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

In accordance with our policy of evaluating and recording impairments on the disposal of long-lived assets, property with a carrying 
amount of $24.9 million was written down to a fair value of $17.1 million, resulting in a loss of $7.8 million, which was included in earnings 
for the first quarter of 2017. Management’s estimate of fair value of these properties was determined using a bona fide purchase offer

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, 2018. 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, 2018.

There has been no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended December 31, 2018
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, 2018 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, 2018.

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, 2018, 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, 
2018, 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, 2018, of the Company and our report dated February 28, 2019, 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.”
