EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" mean CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to the "Operating Partnership" mean CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. The terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the context requires.

The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At June 30, 2015 , CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 84.3% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by the Company of 85.3% .

As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company's subsidiary, CBL Holdings I, Inc., has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's activities. Management operates the Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Company consists of the same individuals that manage the Operating Partnership. The Company's only material asset is its indirect ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Company conducts substantially all its business through the Operating Partnership as described in the preceding paragraph. The Company also issues public equity from time to time and guarantees certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all of the assets and indebtedness of the Company and, through affiliates, retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. Except for the net proceeds of offerings of equity by the Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units on a one-for-one basis, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business through its operations and its incurrence of indebtedness.

We believe that combining the two quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the Company and the Operating Partnership provides the following benefits:


•	enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner that management views and operates the business;


•	eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation, since a substantial portion of the disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership; and


•	creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate condensed consolidated financial statements for the Company and the Operating Partnership. Noncontrolling interests, shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership. A single set of notes to condensed consolidated financial statements is presented that includes separate discussions for the Company and the Operating Partnership, when applicable. A combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section is also included that presents combined information and discrete information related to each entity, as applicable.

In order to highlight the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report includes the following sections that provide separate financial information for the Company and the Operating Partnership:


•	condensed consolidated financial statements;


•	certain accompanying notes to condensed consolidated financial statements, including Note 5 - Unconsolidated Affiliates, Redeemable Interests, Noncontrolling Interests and Cost Method Investments; Note 6 - Mortgage and Other Indebtedness; Note 7 - Comprehensive Income; and Note 11 - Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit;


•	controls and procedures in Item 4 of Part I of this report; and


•	certifications of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer included as Exhibits 31.1 through 32.4.

CBL & Associates Limited Partnership

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Dollars in thousands, except per share and per unit data)

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (“CBL”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers and office properties. Its properties are located in 27 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.

CBL conducts substantially all of its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). As of June 30, 2015 , the Operating Partnership owned interests in the following properties:



	Malls ⁽¹⁾	Associated Centers	Community Centers	Office Buildings ⁽²⁾	Total
Consolidated properties	72	24	7	8	111
Unconsolidated properties ⁽³⁾	10	4	4	5	23
Total	82	28	11	13	134


(1)	Category consists of regional malls, open-air centers and outlet centers (including one mixed-use center).


(2)	Includes CBL's corporate office building.


(3)	The Operating Partnership accounts for these investments using the equity method because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights.

At June 30, 2015 , the Operating Partnership had interests in the following properties under development:



	Consolidated Properties		Unconsolidated Properties
	Malls	Community Centers	Malls	Community Centers
Development	—	—	—	1
Expansions	4	1	1	—
Redevelopments	7	—	1	—

The Operating Partnership also holds options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.

CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At June 30, 2015 , CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 84.3% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 85.3% .

As used herein, the term "Company" includes CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The term "Operating Partnership" refers to CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries.

The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is held by CBL & Associates, Inc., its shareholders and affiliates and certain senior officers of the Company (collectively "CBL's Predecessor"), all of which contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partner interest when the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993, and by various third parties. At June 30, 2015 , CBL’s Predecessor owned a 9.1% limited partner interest and third parties owned a 5.6% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL's Predecessor also owned 3.5 million shares of CBL’s common stock at June 30, 2015 , for a total combined effective interest of 10.9% in the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership conducts the Company’s property management and development activities through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company”), to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”).

Table of Contents

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, they have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results for the interim period ended June 30, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 .

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs ("ASU 2015-03"), which requires that debt issuance costs be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability to which they relate, consistent with the presentation of debt discounts. Currently, debt issuance costs are presented as an asset on the balance sheet under GAAP. The guidance only changes presentation and does not change the recognition and measurement of debt issuance costs. For public companies, ASU 2015-03 is effective on a retrospective basis for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect adoption of this update to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-02, Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis ("ASU 2015-02"). The guidance modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the evaluation of fee arrangements and related party relationships in the primary beneficiary determination. For public companies, ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and interim periods within those years using either a retrospective or a modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this update may have on its consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). The objective of this converged standard is to enable financial statement users to better understand and analyze revenue by replacing current transaction and industry-specific guidance with a more principles-based approach to revenue recognition. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other guidance such as lease and insurance contracts. For public companies, following an additional one year deferral proposed by the FASB in July 2015, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years using one of two retrospective application methods. Early adoption would be permitted only for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years. The Company is evaluating the impact that this update may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

The Company has categorized its financial assets and financial liabilities that are recorded at fair value into a hierarchy in accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure , ("ASC 820") based on whether the inputs to valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value as follows:

Level 1 – Inputs represent quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities as of the measurement date.

Level 2 – Inputs, other than those included in Level 1, represent observable measurements for similar instruments in active markets, or identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and observable measurements or market data for instruments with substantially the full term of the asset or liability.

Level 3 – Inputs represent unobservable measurements, supported by little, if any, market activity, and require considerable assumptions that are significant to the fair value of the asset or liability. Market valuations must often be determined using discounted cash flow methodologies, pricing models or similar techniques based on the Company’s assumptions and best judgment.

Table of Contents

The asset or liability's fair value within the fair value hierarchy is based on the lowest level of any input that is significant to the fair value measurement. Under ASC 820, fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability in an orderly transaction at the measurement date. Valuation techniques used maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs and consider assumptions such as inherent risk, transfer restrictions and risk of nonperformance.

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The following tables set forth information regarding the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 :



			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Fair Value at June 30, 2015		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	$	1,421	$	—	$	1,421	$	—



			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using
	Fair Value at December 31, 2014		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)		Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Assets:
Available-for-sale securities	$	20,512	$	20,512	$	—	$	—

Liabilities:
Interest rate swaps	$	2,226	$	—	$	2,226	$	—

The Company recognizes transfers in and out of every level at the end of each reporting period. There were no transfers between Levels 1, 2, or 3 for any periods presented.

Intangible lease assets and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets include marketable securities consisting of corporate equity securities that are classified as available-for-sale. Net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities that are deemed to be temporary in nature are recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI ") in redeemable noncontrolling interests, shareholders’ equity and partners' capital, and noncontrolling interests. If a decline in the value of an investment is deemed to be other than temporary, the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in the current period to the extent of the decline in value. During the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , the Company did not record any write-downs related to other-than-temporary impairments.

The Company sold all of its marketable securities during the six month period ended June 30, 2015 and recognized a realized gain of $16,560 , for the difference between the net proceeds of $20,755 less the adjusted cost of $4,195 . The Company did not recognize any realized gains or losses related to sales of marketable securities during the six month period ended June 30, 2014. The fair value of the Company’s available-for-sale securities was based on quoted market prices and was classified under Level 1.

The following is a summary of the available-for-sale securities held by the Company as of December 31, 2014 :



			Gross Unrealized
	Adjusted Cost		Gains		Losses		Fair Value
December 31, 2014:
Common stocks	$	4,195	$	16,321	$	—	$	20,516

Table of Contents

The Company uses interest rate swaps to mitigate the effect of interest rate movements on its variable-rate debt. The Company had four interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively, that qualified as hedging instruments and were designated as cash flow hedges. The interest rate swaps are reflected in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The swaps have met the effectiveness test criteria since inception and changes in their fair values are, thus, reported in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI/L") and are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged items affect earnings. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate hedges, classified under Level 2, are determined based on prevailing market data for contracts with matching durations, current and anticipated LIBOR information, consideration of the Company’s credit standing, credit risk of the counterparties and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions. See Note 6 for further information regarding the Company’s interest rate hedging instruments.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value based on Level 2 inputs. The estimated fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $5,020,685 and $4,947,026 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The fair value was calculated using Level 2 inputs by discounting future cash flows for mortgage and other indebtedness using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently. The carrying amount of mortgage and other indebtedness was $4,834,205 and $4,700,460 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures the fair value of certain long-lived assets on a nonrecurring basis, through quarterly impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis of long-lived assets. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information for each property such as net operating income ("NOI"), occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the property and tenant mix. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets that experience impairment, the Company classifies such long-lived assets under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.

Long-lived Assets Measured at Fair Value in 2015

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , the Company recognized a non-cash impairment of real estate of $2,620 in the second quarter of 2015 when it adjusted the book value of Madison Square Mall, located in Huntsville, AL, to its estimated fair value of $5,000 based on its sale in April 2015. See Note 4 for further information on this sale.

Other Impairment Loss in 2015

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , the Company recorded an impairment of real estate of $161 related to the sale of a building at a formerly owned mall for total net proceeds after sales costs of $750 , which was less than its total carrying amount of $911 .

Interest Rate Hedge Instruments

The Company records its derivative instruments in its condensed consolidated balance sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the derivative has been designated as a hedge and, if so, whether the hedge has met the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps and caps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. Interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty if interest rates rise above the strike rate on the contract in exchange for an up-front premium.

Table of Contents

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges is recorded in AOCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Such derivatives are used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.

As of June 30, 2015 , the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:



Instrument Type	Location in Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet	Notional Amount Outstanding	Designated Benchmark Interest Rate	Strike Rate	Fair Value at 6/30/15			Fair Value at 12/31/14			Maturity Date
Pay fixed/ Receive variable Swap	Accounts payable and accrued liabilities	$49,973 (amortizing to $48,337)	1-month LIBOR	2.149%	$	(680	)	$	(1,064	)	April 2016

Note 10 – Equity and Capital

At-The-Market Equity Program

On March 1, 2013, the Company entered into separate controlled equity offering sales agreements (collectively, the "Sales Agreements") with a number of sales agents to sell shares of CBL's common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $300,000 , from time to time in "at-the-market" equity offerings (as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended) or in negotiated transactions (the "ATM program"). In accordance with the Sales Agreements, the Company sets the parameters for the sales of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are to be made and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Sales Agreements provide that the sales agents are entitled to compensation for their services at a mutually agreed commission rate not to exceed 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through the ATM program. For each share of common stock issued by CBL, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding number of common units of limited partnership interest to CBL in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. The Company includes only share issuances that have settled in the calculation of shares outstanding at the end of each period.

The Company has not sold any shares under the ATM program since 2013. Since the commencement of the ATM program, CBL has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average sales price of $25.12 per share, and approximately $88,507 remains available that may be sold under this program as of June 30, 2015 . Actual future sales under this program, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of CBL's common stock and the Company's capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

Subsequent to June 30, 2015 , CBL's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program. See Note 16 for additional information.

Note 11 – Earnings per Share and Earnings per Unit

Earnings per Share of the Company

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for

Table of Contents

all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive.

The following summarizes the impact of potential dilutive common shares on the denominator used to compute EPS:

(1)	Performance stock units are contingently issuable common shares and are included in earnings per share if the effect is dilutive. See Note 13 for a description of the long-term incentive program, which was adopted in 2015, that these units relate to.

Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common unitholders by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPU assumes the issuance of common units for all potential dilutive common units outstanding.

The following summarizes the impact of potential dilutive common units on the denominator used to compute EPU:

Note 12 – Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is currently involved in certain litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. The Company does not disclose information with respect to litigation where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be remote or where the estimated loss would not be material. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company.

Environmental Contingencies

The Company evaluates potential loss contingencies related to environmental matters using the same criteria described above related to litigation matters. Based on current information, an unfavorable outcome concerning such environmental matters, both individually and in the aggregate, is considered to be reasonably possible. However, the Company believes its maximum potential exposure to loss would not be material to its results of operations or financial condition. The Company has a master insurance policy that provides coverage through 2022 for certain environmental claims up to $10,000 per occurrence and up to $50,000 in the aggregate, subject to deductibles and certain exclusions.

Guarantees

The Operating Partnership may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on the Operating Partnership’s investment in the joint venture. The Operating Partnership may receive a fee

Table of Contents

from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when the Operating Partnership issues a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that the Operating Partnership may receive indemnification from the joint venture partner or have the ability to increase its ownership interest. The guarantees expire upon repayment of the debt, unless noted otherwise.

The following table represents the Operating Partnership's guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 :

The guaranty will be reduced to 20% when the PILOT payments are $1,400 or more, provided no event of default exists.

See Note 16 for information on the extension of a loan and the removal of a guaranty subsequent to June 30, 2015 .

Table of Contents

The Company has guaranteed the lease performance of York Town Center, LP ("YTC"), an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. The Company has guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22,000 , which decreases by $800 annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10,000 . The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020. The maximum guaranteed obligation was $15,600 as of June 30, 2015 . The Company entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse the Company 50% of any amounts it is obligated to fund under the guaranty. The Company did not include an obligation for this guaranty because it determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 .

Performance Bonds

The Company has issued various bonds that it would have to satisfy in the event of non-performance. The total amount outstanding on these bonds was $23,104 and $20,720 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively.

Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation

As of June 30, 2015 , there were two share-based compensation plans under which the Company has outstanding awards, the 2012 Plan and the 1993 Plan, as defined below. The Company can elect to make new awards under one of these plans, the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan ("the 2012 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2012. The 2012 Plan permits the Company to issue stock options and common stock to selected officers, employees and non-employee directors of the Company up to a total of 10,400,000 shares. The Company did not issue any new awards under the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. Second Amended and Restated Stock Incentive Plan ("the 1993 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's shareholders in May 2003, between the adoption of the 2012 Plan to replace the 1993 Plan in May 2012 and the termination of the 1993 Plan (as to new awards) on May 5, 2013. As the primary operating subsidiary of the Company, the Operating Partnership participates in and bears the compensation expense associated with the Company's share-based compensation plans.

Restricted Stock Awards

The Company may make restricted stock awards to independent directors, officers and its employees under the 2012 Plan. These awards are generally granted based on the performance of the Company and its employees. None of these awards have performance requirements other than a service condition of continued employment, unless otherwise provided. Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period.

Share-based compensation expense related to the restricted stock awards was $679 and $552 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $2,923 and $2,468 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively. Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $74 and $76 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $153 and $122 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Long-Term Incentive Program

In 2015, the Company adopted a long-term incentive program ("LTIP") for its named executive officers, which consists of performance stock unit ("PSU") awards and annual restricted stock awards, that may be issued under the 2012 Plan. The number of shares related to the PSU awards that each named executive officer may receive upon the conclusion of a three -year performance period is determined based on the Company's achievement of specified levels of long-term total stockholder return ("TSR") performance relative to the NAREIT Retail Index, provided that at least a "Threshold" level must be attained for any shares to be earned. Under the LTIP, annual restricted stock awards consist of shares of time-vested restricted stock awarded based on a qualitative evaluation of the performance of the Company and the named executive officer during the fiscal year. Annual restricted stock awards under the LTIP vest in five equal annual installments.

The fair value of the PSU awards was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo Simulation model. The valuation consisted of computing the fair value using CBL's simulated stock price as well as TSR over the performance period from January 1, 2015 through December 31, 2017. The award is modeled as a contingent claim in that the expected return on the underlying shares is risk-free and the rate of discounting the payoff of the award is also risk-free.

In March 2015, the Company granted 138,680 PSUs at a grant-date fair value of $15.52 per PSU. Shares earned pursuant to the PSU awards vest 60% at the conclusion of the performance period while the remaining 40% of the PSU award vests 20% on each of the first two anniversaries thereafter.

Compensation cost is recognized on a tranche-by-tranche basis using the accelerated attribution method. The resulting expense is recorded regardless of whether any PSU awards are earned as long as the required service period is met. Share-based compensation expense related to the PSUs was $156 for the three months ended June 30, 2015 and $312 for the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Unrecognized compensation costs related to the PSUs was $1,840 as of June 30, 2015 .

Note 15 – Income Taxes

The Company is qualified as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. To maintain qualification as a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to shareholders and meet certain other requirements.

As a REIT, the Company is generally not liable for federal corporate income taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. State tax expense was $742 and $918 during the three months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively, and $1,820 and $2,011 during the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Table of Contents

The Company has also elected taxable REIT subsidiary status for some of its subsidiaries. This enables the Company to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for REITs. For these entities, deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting basis and the tax basis of assets and liabilities at the enacted tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. A valuation allowance for deferred tax assets is provided if the Company believes all or some portion of the deferred tax asset may not be realized. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance resulting from changes in circumstances that may affect the realizability of the related deferred tax asset is included in income or expense, as applicable.

The Company recorded an income tax provision as follows for the three and six month periods ending June 30, 2015 and 2014 :



	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Current tax benefit	$	(2,826	)	$	(919	)	$	(1,403	)	$	(866	)
Deferred tax benefit (provision)	354			133			(153		)	(317		)
Income tax provision	$	(2,472	)	$	(786	)	$	(1,556	)	$	(1,183	)

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $101 and $394 at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively. The net deferred tax asset at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 is included in intangible lease assets and other assets and primarily consisted of operating expense accruals and differences between book and tax depreciation.

The Company reports any income tax penalties attributable to its properties as property operating expenses and any corporate-related income tax penalties as general and administrative expenses in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, any interest incurred on tax assessments is reported as interest expense. The Company reported nominal interest and penalty amounts for the six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

Note 16 – Subsequent Events

In July 2015, CBL's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program. Under the program, the Company may purchase up to $200,000 of CBL's common stock from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market prices and other conditions, through August 31, 2016. The Company expects to utilize a portion of excess proceeds from asset dispositions to fund repurchases.

In July 2015, the Company closed on an $11,320 construction loan for the second phase expansion of The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass. The five -year loan bears interest at a spread of LIBOR plus 250 basis points .

In July 2015, the Company utilized its lines of credit to retire four operating property loans, aggregating to $322,696 with a weighted-average interest rate of 5.0% . The loans were scheduled to mature in 2015 and were secured by Brookfield Square, CherryVale Mall, East Towne Mall and West Towne Mall.

In July 2015, the Company closed on the sale of Madison Plaza, a non-core associated center located in Huntsville, AL for a gross sales price of $5,700 . The Company expects to record a gain on the sale of approximately $2,771 in the third quarter of 2015.

In July 2015, the joint venture loan, secured by Gulf Coast Town Center Phase III, was amended and extended to July 2017. The loan bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points . As part of the refinancing agreement, the loan is no longer guaranteed by the Operating Partnership.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

We are a self-managed, self-administered, fully integrated REIT that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers and office properties. Our properties are located in 27 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.

We consolidate the financial statements of all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest or where we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. As of June 30, 2015 , we owned interests in the following properties:



	Malls ⁽¹⁾	Associated Centers	Community Centers	Office Buildings ⁽²⁾	Total
Consolidated properties	72	24	7	8	111
Unconsolidated properties ⁽³⁾	10	4	4	5	23
Total	82	28	11	13	134


(1)	Category consists of regional malls, open-air centers and outlet centers (including one mixed-use center).


(2)	Includes our corporate office building.


(3)	We account for these investments using the equity method because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights.

At June 30, 2015 , we had interests in the following properties under development:



	Consolidated Properties		Unconsolidated Properties
	Malls	Community Centers	Malls	Community Centers
Development	—	—	—	1
Expansions	4	1	1	—
Redevelopments	7	—	1	—

We also hold options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties.

Table of Contents

The transformation of our portfolio remains our top priority. In June 2015, we acquired Mayfaire Town Center and Community Center, which will be a Tier 1 property in our mall portfolio, for $192 million. We sold a non-core mall and an associated center during the second quarter of 2015. Additionally, we sold a non-core associated center in July 2015. Given the current market for lower productivity malls, we anticipate that our disposition process will take at least the full three years that we outlined at the start of the program. These properties continue to generate stable cash flow and many of them are being enhanced through anchor redevelopment projects and expansions.

During the second quarter of 2015, we continued our positive progress in releasing spaces related to tenant bankruptcies that occurred during the first part of 2015 and at year-end 2014. Of the 175 stores that closed due to retailer bankruptcy, currently over 65% of this space is leased, committed or under active negotiation. We believe these future new store openings in late 2015 and throughout 2016 will enhance our tenant mix. The strength of our portfolio of properties and our continued investment in redevelopment and expansions are key determinants in our ability to attract new tenants and backfill these spaces. Leasing spreads for our stabilized malls remain strong at 8.7% for leases signed in the second quarter of 2015. For the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2015, same-center sales increased 3.7% to $368 per square foot as compared to $355 per square foot in the prior-year period. Occupancy for our same-center stabilized malls declined to 89.9% in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to 93.2% in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of the bankruptcy-related store closures noted above. We anticipate occupancy will increase when most of these replacement stores open later in 2015 and into 2016. Same-center NOI grew 30 basis points in the second quarter of 2015 as compared to the prior-year period. Adjusted FFO per share for the quarter of $0.54 was relatively flat from the prior-year period of $0.55 as strong percentage rent growth, revenue from new properties and interest rate savings were partially offset by decreases from properties that were sold.

In July 2015, CBL's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program. Under the program, we may purchase up to $200 million of CBL's common stock from time to time, in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or otherwise, depending on market prices and other conditions, through August 31, 2016. We will fund these repurchases by utilizing a portion of excess sales proceeds from dispositions of shopping center properties.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Properties that were in operation for the entire year during 2014 and the six months ended June 30, 2015 are referred to as the “Comparable Properties.” Since January 1, 2014, we have opened one mall, one outlet center and one community center development and acquired one mall as follows:

Comparison of the Three Months Ended June 30, 2015 to the Three Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenues

Total revenues decreased $3.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior-year period. Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements decreased by $1.4 million due to a decrease of $5.7 million related to the Comparable Properties, partially offset by an increase of $4.3 million related to the New Properties. The $5.7 million change in the Comparable Properties was primarily driven by a decrease of $5.6 million from dispositions, partially offset by a $0.1 million increase in revenue at our same-center properties due to increases in percentage rents.

Our cost recovery ratio for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 was 103.5% compared with 100.8% for the prior-year period, primarily due to decreases in energy costs and other operating expenses.

The decrease of $0.2 million in management, development and leasing fees was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.3 million in management fee income, partially offset by an increase of $0.2 million in leasing commissions.

Other revenues decreased $1.6 million primarily due to a decrease of $1.3 million in revenue related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties and a $0.4 million insurance adjustment.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $4.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior-year period. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, decreased $2.4 million primarily due to a decrease of $3.6 million attributable to the Comparable Properties, partially offset by an increase of $1.2 million related to the New Properties. The Comparable Properties included decreases of $3.7 million related to dispositions and $0.4 million attributable to non-core properties, partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million related to redevelopment and expansion projects.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $0.6 million resulted from increases of $1.3 million related to the New Properties, partially offset by a $0.7 million decrease attributable to the Comparable Properties. The $0.7 million decrease attributable to the Comparable Properties includes a decrease of $0.9 million related to dispositions and $0.3 million related to our same-center properties, partially offset by a $0.5 million increase related to redevelopment projects and expansions.

General and administrative expenses increased $4.9 million primarily due to $3.0 million of expenses related to a litigation settlement and consulting expenses related to process and technology improvements. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 6.4% and 4.4% for the second quarters of 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

In the second quarter of 2015 , we recognized a non-cash impairment of real estate of $2.8 million which was primarily related to the disposition of one mall in the second quarter of 2015. See Note 3 and Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. In the second quarter of 2014 , we recognized an impairment of $0.1 million for additional closing costs related to the sale of a mall.

Other expenses decreased $1.5 million primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in expenses related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and other income decreased $1.2 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to $0.8 million received as a partial settlement of a lawsuit in the first quarter of 2014, a decrease of $0.4 million in dividend income associated with the sale of all of our available-for-sale securities in the first quarter of 2015 and a $0.4 million decrease in interest income related to a mortgage note receivable that was retired in the third quarter of 2014.

Interest expense decreased $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior-year period. Interest expense related to property-level debt declined $1.5 million related to dispositions and the retirement of approximately $213.0 million of secured debt with borrowings from our lines of credit. These declines were partially offset by an increase in our corporate-level debt primarily due to the 2024 Notes that were issued in October 2014, the proceeds of which were used to reduce the outstanding balances on our lines of credit.

During the second quarter of 2015 , we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million due to the early retirement of a mortgage loan.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $1.5 million during the second quarter of 2015 compared to the prior-year period. The $1.5 million increase consists of an increase of $0.6 million of gain recognized for the sale of two outparcels and increases from revenue and tenant reimbursements at several properties.

The income tax provision of $2.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2015 relates to the Management Company, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and consists of a current tax provision of $2.8 million and a deferred tax benefit of less than $0.4 million . During the three months ended June 30, 2014 , we recorded an income tax provision of $0.8 million , consisting of a

Table of Contents

current tax provision of $0.9 million and a deferred tax benefit of $0.1 million . The increase in the current tax provision is primarily due to the gain recognized in the sale of EastGate Crossing (see below), which was owned by our Management Company.

In the second quarter of 2015 , we recognized $14.2 million of gain on sales of real estate assets, which consisted primarily of $13.5 million from the sale of EastGate Crossing, an associated center, and $0.7 million related to the sale of an outparcel. We recognized a $1.9 million gain on sale of real estate assets in the second quarter of 2014 which consisted of $0.9 million attributable to the sale of a portion of Foothills Plaza, an associated center located in Maryville, TN and $1.0 million for the sale of three outparcels.

The operating loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended June 30, 2014 of less than $0.1 million includes settlements of estimated expenses based on actual results for other properties sold in previous periods. The gain on discontinued operations of $0.1 million recorded in the second quarter of 2014 relates to true-ups for properties sold in previous periods.

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2015 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2014

Revenues

Total revenues decreased $3.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior-year period. Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements decreased by $1.2 million due to a decrease of $8.9 million related to the Comparable Properties, partially offset by an increase of $7.7 million related to the New Properties. The Comparable Properties were primarily impacted by decreases of $11.0 million from dispositions and $0.6 million from non-core properties, partially offset by a $2.7 million increase related to our same-center properties due to increases in tenant reimbursements and percentage rents.

Our cost recovery ratio for the six months ended June 30, 2015 was 99.0% compared with 96.8% for the prior-year period, primarily due to a decrease in snow removal costs and utilities expense.

The decrease of $0.5 million in management, development and leasing fees was primarily attributable to a decrease of $0.9 million in development and management fee income, partially offset by an increase of $0.4 million in leasing commissions.

Other revenues decreased $1.7 million primarily due to a decrease of $2.1 million in revenue related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties, which was partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in miscellaneous and other income.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses decreased $4.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior-year period. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, decreased $4.0 million primarily due to a decrease of $6.1 million attributable to the Comparable Properties, partially offset by an increase of $2.1 million related to the New Properties. The Comparable Properties included decreases of $6.7 million related to dispositions and $0.7 million attributable to non-core properties. These decreases were partially offset by a $1.3 million increase in property operating expenses of the Comparable Properties, excluding dispositions and non-core properties, primarily attributable to increases in real estate taxes and insurance expense, partially offset by decreases in snow removal costs and payroll expense.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $7.8 million resulted from increases of $5.1 million related to the Comparable Properties and $2.7 million attributable to the New Properties. The $5.1 million increase attributable to the Comparable Properties includes an increase of $7.3 million related to the same-center properties, which was partially offset by a $2.2 million decrease related to dispositions and non-core properties. The $7.3 million increase for same-center properties is primarily due to increases of $3.9 million in depreciation expense related to capital expenditures for renovations, redevelopments and deferred maintenance and $2.8 million in amortization of tenant improvements. The increase in amortization of tenant improvements was due to write-offs associated with tenants that closed due to bankruptcies.

General and administrative expenses increased $7.3 million due to increases in legal fees, litigation settlement and related expenses, consulting expenses related to process and technology improvements, and a company-wide bonus paid to employees for exceeding NOI budgets in 2014. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 6.5% and 5.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 , respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $2.8 million , which was mostly related to the disposition of one mall in the second quarter of 2015. See Note 3 and Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 , we recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $17.3 million to reduce the depreciated book value of Lakeshore Mall and Chapel Hill Mall to their estimated fair values. See Note 4 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Other expenses decreased $1.5 million due to a $1.6 million decrease in expenses related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties partially offset by a $0.1 million increase from abandoned projects.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and other income increased $2.6 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to an increase of $3.3 million in other income, partially offset by decreases of $0.4 million and $0.3 million related to interest income and dividend income, respectively. The $3.3 million increase in other income relates to $4.9 million received as a partial settlement of a lawsuit in the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to $1.6 million received in the prior-year period from an insurance claim reimbursement and a partial settlement of litigation.

Interest expense decreased $1.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior-year period. Interest expense related to property-level debt declined $2.6 million related to dispositions and the retirement of approximately $213.0 million of secured debt with borrowings from our lines of credit, partially offset by interest expense on one of the New Properties that is owned in a consolidated joint venture. These declines were also partially offset by an increase in corporate-level debt primarily due to the 2024 Notes that were issued in October 2014, the proceeds of which were used to reduce the outstanding balances on our lines of credit.

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.3 million due to the early retirement of a mortgage loan. During the six months ended June 30, 2014 , we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $42.7 million . We recognized a $43.9 million gain on extinguishment of debt from the transfer of a mall to the lender in settlement of the non-recourse debt secured by the property. This gain was partially offset by a loss of $1.2 million due to a prepayment fee on the early retirement of a mortgage loan.

We recorded a gain on investment of $16.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 related to the sale of all of our available-for-sale securities.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $1.6 million during the six months ended June 30, 2015 compared to the prior-year period. The $1.6 million increase consists of $1.2 million of gain recognized for the sale of five outparcels and an increase of $0.4 million related to Fremaux Town Center, which opened in March 2014.

The income tax provision of $1.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2015 relates to the Management Company, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and consists of a current and deferred tax provision of $1.4 million and $0.2 million , respectively.

During the six months ended June 30, 2014 , we recognized a $3.1 million gain on sales of real estate assets which consisted of $0.9 million attributable to the sale of a portion of Foothills Plaza, an associated center located in Maryville, TN and $2.2 million from the sale of five outparcels.

The operating loss from discontinued operations for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $0.6 million includes settlements of estimated expenses based on actual results for other properties sold in previous periods. The gain on discontinued operations of $0.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 relates to true-ups for properties sold in previous periods.

Same-Center Net Operating Income

NOI is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of our shopping centers and other properties. We define NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).

We compute NOI based on the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. We believe that presenting NOI and same-center NOI (described below) based on our Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated Properties is useful since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the Properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. Our definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies, and accordingly, our calculation of NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of our shopping center properties, we believe that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, sales at the malls and operating costs and the impact of those trends on our results of operations. Our calculation of same-center NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, and amortization of above and below market lease intangibles in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another, as these items can be impacted by one-time events that may distort same-center NOI trends and may result in same-center NOI that is not indicative of the ongoing operations of our shopping center and other properties. Same-center NOI is for real estate properties and does not include the results of operations of our subsidiary that provides janitorial, security and maintenance services.

Table of Contents

We include a property in our same-center pool when we have owned all or a portion of the property since January 1 of the preceding calendar year and it has been in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year and current year-to-date period. New Properties are excluded from same-center NOI, until they meet this criteria. The only properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet this criteria are properties which are non-core, under major redevelopment, being considered for repositioning or where we intend to renegotiate the terms of the debt secured by the related property. Madison Plaza was classified as a non-core property as of June 30, 2015 . Madison Plaza was sold subsequent to June 30, 2015 . Lender properties consisted of Gulf Coast Town Center, Triangle Town Center and Triangle Town Place as of June 30, 2015 . Properties under major redevelopment as of June 30, 2015 include the Annex at Monroeville and CoolSprings Galleria. Properties where we are considering alternatives to reposition the property include Chesterfield Mall and Wausau Center at June 30, 2015 .

Due to the exclusions noted above, same-center NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of our performance and not as an alternative to GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss). A reconciliation of our same-center NOI to net income for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows (in thousands):

Same-center NOI increased $0.5 million and $1.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the same periods in 2014. Same-center NOI for the three and six months periods ended June 30, 2015 increased 0.3% and 0.4%, respectively, compared to the prior-year periods. Our NOI growth of 0.3% for the three months ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the prior-year period benefited from an increase of 2.4% in average annual base rents for our same-center stabilized mall portfolio, which was partially offset by a decrease of 3.5% in same-center stabilized mall occupancy. Positive sales growth, which increased percentage rents by $0.5 million, an increase of $1.5 million in tenant reimbursements and a $0.9 million decrease in property operating expense all contributed to second quarter 2015 NOI results. These increases were offset by a $1.2 million increase in real estate taxes and $0.9 million decline in minimum rent. The positive NOI results for the six month period ended June 30, 2015 were driven by increases of $2.8 million in tenant reimbursements and $0.9 million in percentage rents as compared to the prior-year period. These year-to-date increases in same-center NOI were partially offset by an increase of $3.4 million in real estate taxes.

Operational Review

The shopping center business is, to some extent, seasonal in nature with tenants typically achieving the highest levels of sales during the fourth quarter due to the holiday season, which generally results in higher percentage rents in the fourth quarter. Additionally, the malls earn most of their rents from short-term tenants during the holiday period. Thus, occupancy levels and revenue production are generally the highest in the fourth quarter of each year. Results of operations realized in any one quarter may not be indicative of the results likely to be experienced over the course of the fiscal year.

We classify our regional malls into five categories:


(1)	Stabilized malls – Malls that have completed their initial lease-up and have been open for more than three complete calendar years.

(2)

Non-stabilized malls - Malls that are in their initial lease-up phase. After three complete calendar years of operation, they are reclassified on January 1 of the fourth calendar year to the stabilized mall category. Fremaux Town Center, The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass and The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta were classified as non-stabilized malls as of June 30, 2015 . The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta and The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City were classified as non-stabilized malls as of June 30, 2014 .

(3)

Non-core malls - Malls where we have determined that the current format of the property no longer represents the best use of the property and we are in the process of evaluating alternative strategies for the property, which may include major redevelopment or an alternative retail or non-retail format, or after evaluating alternative strategies for the property, we have determined that the property no longer meets our criteria for long-term investment. Similar criteria apply to the classification of an associated center or community center as a non-core property. The steps taken to reposition non-core properties, such as signing tenants to short-term leases, which are not included in occupancy percentages, or leasing to regional or local tenants, which typically do not report sales, may lead to metrics which do not provide relevant information related to the condition of the non-core properties. Therefore, traditional performance measures, such as occupancy percentages and leasing metrics, exclude non-core properties. We had no non-core malls as of June 30, 2015. Columbia Place, Chapel Hill Mall and Madison Square were classified as non-core malls as of June 30, 2014 . Additionally, Madison Plaza, an associated center adjacent to Madison Square, was classified as a non-core property as of June 30, 2015 and 2014 . Chapel Hill Mall and Columbia Place were conveyed to the respective lenders holding the non-recourse mortgage loans secured by these properties, in the third and fourth quarters of 2014, respectively. Madison Square was sold in the second quarter of 2015 and Madison Plaza was sold subsequent to June 30, 2015 .

(4)

Lender malls - Properties for which we are working or intend to work with the lender on the terms of the loan secured by the related property. As of June 30, 2015 and 2014 , Gulf Coast Town Center and Triangle Town Center were classified as lender malls. Additionally, Triangle Town Place, an associated center adjacent to Triangle Town Center, was classified a lender property as of June 30, 2015 . Lender properties are excluded from our same-center pool because they are under cash management agreements with the respective servicers. As such, the servicer controls the cash flow of these properties.


(5)	Major redevelopment/Repositioning - Properties in major redevelopment or where we are considering alternatives to reposition the property. As of June 30, 2015 , the Annex at Monroeville and CoolSprings Galleria were under significant redevelopment and Chesterfield Mall and Wausau Center were being considered for repositioning.

We derive the majority of our revenues from the mall properties. The sources of our revenues by property type were as follows:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014
Malls	88.2	%	88.0	%
Associated centers	4.0	%	4.2	%
Community centers	1.9	%	1.7	%
Mortgages, office buildings and other	5.9	%	6.1	%

Mall Store Sales

Mall store sales include reporting mall tenants of 10,000 square feet or less for stabilized malls and exclude license agreements, which are retail contracts that are temporary or short-term in nature and generally last more than three months but less than twelve months. Same-store sales per square foot increased 4.1% for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 as compared to the prior-year period. Mall store sales for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2015 on a comparable per square foot basis increased approximately 3.7% to $368 per square foot compared to $355 per square foot for the trailing twelve months ended June 30, 2014 .

We anticipate occupancy will increase as replacement stores, related to the 175 bankruptcy-related spaces noted previously, open later in 2015 and into 2016. We are forecasting occupancy to be lower throughout the remainder of 2015 as compared to 2014 and expect to end the year 150 to 200 basis points below prior-year levels in the range of 92.5% to 93.5%.

The impact from the bankruptcies of Deb Shops, Wet Seal, Radio Shack, Cache and Body Central resulted in approximately 175 store closures, representing over $16.0 million in gross rents in pro rata income for 2015. We are making good progress on releasing these spaces with over 65% of these spaces committed or under negotiation. Currently, we have 62 leases that are executed or out for signature and an additional 53 leases in active negotiations. Most of these leases will take occupancy late this year or in 2016.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of June 30, 2015 , we had approximately $453.5 million outstanding on our combined credit facilities leaving approximately $846.5 million of availability. In May 2015, we retired the $49.6 million loan secured by Imperial Valley Mall in El Centro, CA. The loan bore interest at 4.99% and was scheduled to mature in September 2015. Subsequent to June 30, 2015, we retired four additional loans aggregating to $322.7 million using our lines of credit. The weighted-average interest rate for these four loans was 5.0%. The loans were secured by Brookfield Square, CherryVale Mall, East Towne Mall and West Towne Mall. This leaves $87.4 million of operating property loans secured by two consolidated properties maturing in 2015. We anticipate continued savings in interest expense as we continue to convert secured debt to unsecured borrowings using availability on our credit facilities. Our share of joint venture loans with 2015 maturity dates is $229.7 million . Of this total, we extended the $5.4 million loan on Gulf Coast Town Center Phase III to July 2017, leaving two joint venture loans which we plan to refinance with secured non-recourse mortgages. See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information on these transactions.

We derive a majority of our revenues from leases with retail tenants, which have historically been the primary source for funding short-term liquidity and capital needs such as operating expenses, debt service, tenant construction allowances, recurring capital expenditures, dividends and distributions. We believe that the combination of cash flows generated from our operations, combined with our debt and equity sources and the availability under our credit facilities will, for the foreseeable future, provide adequate liquidity to meet our cash needs. In addition to these factors, we have options available to us to generate additional liquidity, including but not limited to, debt and equity offerings, joint venture investments, issuances of noncontrolling interests in our Operating Partnership, and decreasing expenditures related to tenant construction allowances and other capital expenditures. We also generate revenues from sales of peripheral land at our properties and from sales of real estate assets when it is determined that we can realize an optimal value for the assets.

Cash Flows - Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

There was $30.6 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of June 30, 2015 , a decrease of $7.3 million from December 31, 2014 . Our cash flow activities are summarized as follows (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015			2014			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	219,393		$	206,116		$	13,277

Net cash flows	$	(7,337	)	$	(2,018	)	$	(5,319	)

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

Cash provided by operating activities increased $13.3 million primarily due to the slight increase in same-center NOI, cash flows from the New Properties and litigation settlement income received in the current year, partially offset by decreases in cash flow from dispositions and higher general and administrative expenses. Additionally, cash paid for interest was lower in the current year as we continued our strategy of retiring higher-rate secured debt with lower-rate unsecured debt.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Cash flows used in investing activities increased by $143.6 million primarily due to the $192.0 million of cash paid to acquire Mayfaire Town Center and Community Center, which was partially offset by a decrease in expenditures related to our development, redevelopment, renovation and expansion programs, an increase in proceeds from the sales of real estate assets and the net proceeds of $20.8 million received from the sale of all our marketable securities.

Table of Contents

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Cash flows provided by financing activities increased by $125.0 million primarily due to funding the $192.0 million cash purchase price of Mayfaire Town Center and Community Center with borrowings from our lines of credit, partially offset by payments to reduce outstanding borrowings on our lines of credit that were funded through increased cash flows provided by operating activities and the cash proceeds from sales of real estate assets and marketable securities.

Debt

Debt of the Company

CBL has no indebtedness. Either the Operating Partnership, one of its consolidated subsidiaries or an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Operating Partnership has a direct or indirect ownership interest is the borrower on all of our debt.

CBL is a limited guarantor of the Notes, issued by the Operating Partnership in November 2013 and October 2014, respectively, for losses suffered solely by reason of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Operating Partnership or its affiliates. CBL also provides a similar limited guarantee of the Operating Partnership's obligations with respect to our unsecured credit facilities and two unsecured term loans as of June 30, 2015 .

Debt of the Operating Partnership

The following tables summarize debt based on our pro rata ownership share, including our pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling investors’ share of consolidated properties, because we believe this provides investors and lenders a clearer understanding of our total debt obligations and liquidity (in thousands):

(1)	Weighted-average interest rate includes the effect of debt premiums (discounts), but excludes amortization of deferred financing costs.


(2)	We had four interest rate swaps with notional amounts outstanding totaling $103,387 as of June 30, 2015 and $105,584 as of December 31, 2014 related to four of our variable-rate loans on operating properties to effectively fix the interest rates on these loans. Therefore, these amounts are reflected in fixed-rate debt at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 .


(3)	Net of unamortized discount of $4,042 and $4,230 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively.


(4)	Net of unamortized discount of $70 and $75 as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively.

As of June 30, 2015 , $730.2 million of our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt, excluding debt premiums, is scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2015 . The $730.2 million that is scheduled to mature in 2015 includes an unsecured line of credit with a balance of $32.0 million that has a one-year extension that is at our election, and three operating property loans secured by joint venture properties aggregating to $58.4 million that have extensions we may exercise at our election, leaving $639.8 million of debt maturities in 2015 that must be retired or refinanced. The $639.8 million of 2015 debt maturities represents six consolidated operating property loans, aggregating to $410.1 million, and three joint venture loans, aggregating to $229.7 million, which are secured by the respective properties. Subsequent to June 30, 2015 , we retired four consolidated operating property loans with balances totaling $322.7 million as of June 30, 2015 using availability on our lines of credit. We also extended one joint venture loan with a balance of $5.4 million as of June 30, 2015. We plan to initially use our lines of credit to retire the loans on our consolidated properties and then subsequently reduce the credit lines with proceeds from an unsecured bond offering. We expect to refinance the loans secured by our unconsolidated affiliates' properties at open to par dates with secured non-recourse mortgages. Based on current interest rate expectations, we believe lower rates will be achievable, which would reduce our overall cost of debt.

The weighted-average remaining term of our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt was 3.9 years at June 30, 2015 and 4.5 years at December 31, 2014 . The weighted-average remaining term of our pro rata share of fixed-rate debt was 4.3 years and 4.7 years at June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , respectively.

As of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 , our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt represented 18.8% and 14.7% , respectively, of our total pro rata share of debt. The increase is primarily due to higher balances on our lines of credit as we utilized them to finance the purchase of Mayfaire Town Center and Community Center and retire fixed-rate loans with higher interest rates. As of June 30, 2015 , our share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt represented 11.0% of our total market capitalization (see Equity below) as compared to 8.0% as of December 31, 2014 . The increase is primarily due to a decrease in CBL's stock price to $16.20 at June 30, 2015 from $19.00 at June 30, 2014 .

See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information concerning the amount and terms of our outstanding indebtedness and compliance with applicable covenants and restrictions as of June 30, 2015 .

Equity

During the six months ended June 30, 2015 , we paid dividends of $112.7 million to holders of CBL's common stock and preferred stock, as well as $22.6 million in distributions to the noncontrolling interest investors in the Operating Partnership and other consolidated subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership paid distributions of $22.4 million and $107.8 million on the preferred units and common units, respectively, as well as distributions of $5.1 million to the noncontrolling interests in other consolidated subsidiaries.

Table of Contents

On May 28, 2015, we announced a second quarter 2015 common stock dividend of $0.265 per share payable in cash that was paid on July 16, 2015. On February 26, 2015, we announced a first quarter 2015 common stock dividend of $0.265 per share payable in cash that was paid on April 15, 2015. Future dividends payable will be determined by our Board of Directors based upon circumstances at the time of declaration.

As a publicly traded company and, as a subsidiary of a publicly traded company, we have access to capital through both the public equity and debt markets. We currently have a shelf registration statement on file with the SEC authorizing us to publicly issue senior and/or subordinated debt securities, shares of preferred stock (or depositary shares representing fractional interests therein), shares of common stock, warrants or rights to purchase any of the foregoing securities, and units consisting of two or more of these classes or series of securities and limited guarantees of debt securities issued by the Operating Partnership. Pursuant to the shelf registration statement, the Operating Partnership is also authorized to publicly issue unsubordinated debt securities. There is no limit to the offering price or number of securities that we may issue under this shelf registration statement.

At-The-Market Equity Program

On March 1, 2013, we entered into Sales Agreements with a number of sales agents to sell shares of CBL's common stock, having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, from time to time through an ATM program. In accordance with the Sales Agreements, we set the parameters for the sales of shares, including the number of shares to be issued, the time period during which sales are to be made and any minimum price below which sales may not be made. The Sales Agreements provide that the sales agents are entitled to compensation for their services at a mutually agreed commission rate not to exceed 2.0% of the gross proceeds from the sales of shares sold through the ATM program. For each share of common stock issued by CBL, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding number of common units of limited partnership interest to CBL in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. We include only share issuances that have settled in our calculation of shares outstanding at the end of each period.

We have not sold any shares under the ATM program since 2013. The net proceeds from the ATM sales were used to reduce the balances on our credit facilities. Since the commencement of the ATM program, CBL has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock, at a weighted-average sales price of $25.12 per share, and approximately $88.5 million remains available that may be sold under this program. Actual future sales under this program, if any, will depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of CBL's common stock and our capital needs. We have no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program.

Common Stock Repurchase Program

Subsequent to June 30, 2015 , CBL's Board of Directors authorized a common stock repurchase program. See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Debt-To-Total Market Capitalization

Our strategy is to maintain a conservative debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio in order to enhance our access to the broadest range of capital markets, both public and private. Based on our share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt and the market value of equity, our debt-to-total-market capitalization (debt plus market value of equity) ratio was 58.7% at June 30, 2015 , compared to 55.3% at June 30, 2014 . The increase in the debt-to-market capitalization ratio is primarily due to a decrease in CBL's stock price to $16.20 at June 30, 2015 from $19.00 at June 30, 2014 . Our debt-to-market capitalization ratio at June 30, 2015 was computed as follows (in thousands, except stock prices):



	Shares Outstanding	Stock Price ⁽¹⁾		Value
Common stock and operating partnership units	199,750	$	16.20	$	3,235,950
7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock	1,815	250.00		453,750
6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock	690	250.00		172,500
Total market equity				3,862,200
Company’s share of total debt				5,486,069
Total market capitalization				$	9,348,269
Debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio				58.7		%


(1)	Stock price for common stock and Operating Partnership units equals the closing price of CBL's common stock on June 30, 2015. The stock prices for the preferred stock represent the liquidation preference of each respective series of preferred stock.

Capital Expenditures

Deferred maintenance expenditures are generally billed to tenants as common area maintenance expense, and most are recovered over a 5 to 15-year period. Renovation expenditures are primarily for remodeling and upgrades of malls, of which a portion is recovered from tenants over a 5 to 15-year period. We recover these costs through fixed amounts with annual increases or pro rata cost reimbursements based on the tenant’s occupied space.

The following table, which excludes expenditures for developments and expansions, summarizes these capital expenditures, including our share of unconsolidated affiliates' capital expenditures, for the three and six month period ended June 30, 2015 compared to the same period in 2014 (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2015		2014			2015		2014
Tenant allowances ⁽¹⁾	$	19,344	$	12,367		$	32,040	$	23,779

Total capital expenditures	$	39,767	$	28,227		$	61,742	$	47,694


(1)	Tenant allowances primarily relate to new leases. Tenant allowances related to renewal leases were not material for the periods presented.

Our 2015 renovation program includes upgrades at five of our malls. Renovations are scheduled to be completed in 2015 at Dakota Square Mall in Minot, ND; Janesville Mall in Janesville, WI; Laurel Park Place in Livonia, MI; Monroeville Mall in Pittsburgh, PA and Sunrise Mall in Brownsville, TX. Our total investment in the renovations that are scheduled for 2015 as well as other less extensive renovations is projected to be $27.2 million. Renovation expenditures for 2015 also include $13.8 million for repairs to the parking decks at West County Center.

Annual capital expenditures budgets are prepared for each of our properties that are intended to provide for all necessary recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures. We believe that property operating cash flows, which include reimbursements from tenants for certain expenses, will provide the necessary funding for these expenditures.

Construction continues on Ambassador Town Center, our joint venture community center development in Lafayette, LA. The center will be anchored by Costco, Dick's Sporting Goods, Field & Stream, Marshall's, HomeGoods and Nordstrom Rack. We are also expanding Statesboro Crossing, a community center located in Statesboro, GA, to add an ULTA store.

We have several expansion projects underway at our malls. The second phase of Fremaux Town Center will be anchored by Dillard's and will feature other fashion-oriented shops such as Ann Taylor LOFT, Chico's, Aveda and Francesca's. We recently began construction on Phase II projects at two of our outlet centers. The expansion at The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass will include H&M and The Limited Outlet in addition to other retailers. In Atlanta, the expansion consists of Gap, banana republic and other retailers.

We have eight mall redevelopment projects currently under construction. Several of these projects involve former Sears and JC Penney stores, which afford us the opportunity to revitalize these spaces with a new mix of tenants and enhance the value of our properties. Our Sears redevelopment project at CoolSprings Galleria features American Girl, H&M, King's, and ULTA as well as restaurants Connor's Steakhouse and Kona Grill. A new restaurant district is being developed at Brookfield Square in the 21,000-square-feet of the Sears store we leased back. Additionally, we are redeveloping a former Sears space at Regency Mall for its new anchor, Dunham's Sports. We also have former JC Penney spaces we are redeveloping for Hobby Lobby at Hickory Point Mall, ULTA and Dick's Sporting Goods at Janesville Mall and Ross and ULTA at Randolph Mall.

We own land and hold options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties. Except for the projects presented above, we do not have any other material capital commitments as of June 30, 2015 .

Acquisition

In June 2015, we acquired Mayfaire Town Center and Community Center located in Wilmington, NC for $192.0 million in cash.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Affiliates

We have ownership interests in 19 unconsolidated affiliates as of June 30, 2015 that are described in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.” The following are circumstances when we may consider entering into a joint venture with a third party:

•

Third parties may approach us with opportunities in which they have obtained land and performed some pre-development activities, but they may not have sufficient access to the capital resources or the development and leasing expertise to bring the project to fruition. We enter into such arrangements when we determine such a project is viable and we can achieve a satisfactory return on our investment. We typically earn development fees from the joint venture and provide management and leasing services to the property for a fee once the property is placed in operation.

•

We determine that we may have the opportunity to capitalize on the value we have created in a property by selling an interest in the property to a third party. This provides us with an additional source of capital that can be used to develop or acquire additional real estate assets that we believe will provide greater potential for growth. When we retain an interest in an asset rather than selling a 100% interest, it is typically because this allows us to continue to manage the property, which provides us the ability to earn fees for management, leasing, development and financing services provided to the joint venture.

Guarantees

We may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on our investment in the joint venture. We may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when we issue a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that we may receive indemnification from the joint venture or have the ability to increase our ownership interest.

The following table represents our guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

(1)	Excludes any extension options.


(2)	The loan has two one-year extension options, which are at the unconsolidated affiliate's election, for an outside maturity date of November 2017.


(3)	In the fourth quarter of 2014, the loan was amended and restated to add funding for the construction of Academy Sports. The guaranty was also amended to cap the maximum guaranteed amount at $8,700 unless a monetary default event occurs related to Carmike Cinema or Academy Sports. The guaranty will be reduced to 25% once Academy Sports is operational and paying contractual rent.


(4)	We received a 1% fee for this guaranty when the loan was issued in March 2013. In the second quarter of 2015, the guaranty was reduced to 15% as the requirement of being open for one year was met, LA Fitness opened and began paying contractual rent and a debt service coverage ratio of 1.30 to 1.00 was achieved.


(5)	The loan has two one -year extension options, which are at the unconsolidated affiliate's election, for an outside maturity date of August 2018.

(6)

We received a 1% fee for this guaranty when the loan was issued in August 2014. Upon completion of Phase II of the development and once certain leasing and occupancy metrics have been met, the guaranty will be reduced to 25%. The guaranty will be further reduced to 15% when Phase II of the development has been open for one year, the debt service coverage ratio of 1.30 to 1.00 is met and Dillard's is operational.


(7)	We received a 1% fee for this guaranty when the loan was issued in December 2014. Once construction is complete, the guaranty will be reduced to 50%. The guaranty will be further reduced from 50% to 15% once the construction of Ambassador Town Center and its related infrastructure improvements is complete as well as upon the attainment of certain debt service and operational metrics.


(8)	The loan has two one-year extension options, which are the joint venture's election, for an outside maturity date of December 2019.

(9)

We received a 1% fee for this guaranty when the loan was issued in December 2014. The guaranty will be reduced to 50% on March 1st of the year following any calendar year during which the PILOT payments received by Ambassador Infrastructure and delivered to the lender are $1,200 or more, provided no event of default exists. The guaranty will be reduced to 20% when the PILOT payments are $1,400 or more, provided no event of default exists.

Subsequent to June 30, 2015 , the loan for the third phase of Gulf Coast Town Center was modified and extended to July 2017. The loan bears interest at a variable rate of LIBOR plus 200 basis points . As part of the refinancing agreement, the loan is no longer guaranteed by us.

We have guaranteed the lease performance of YTC, an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. We have guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22.0 million , which decreases by $0.8 million annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10.0 million . The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020. The maximum guaranteed obligation was $15.6 million as of June 30, 2015 . We entered into an agreement with our joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse us 50% of any amounts we are obligated to fund under the guaranty. We did not include an obligation for this guaranty because we determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material as of June 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 .

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and disclosures. Some of these estimates and assumptions require application of difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgment about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions 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.

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section. There have been no material changes to these policies and estimates during the six months ended June 30, 2015 . Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014 .

Impact of Inflation and Deflation

Deflation can result in a decline in general price levels, often caused by a decrease in the supply of money or credit. The predominant effects of deflation are high unemployment, credit contraction and weakened consumer demand. Restricted lending practices could impact our ability to obtain financings or refinancings for our properties and our tenants’ ability to obtain credit. Decreases in consumer demand can have a direct impact on our tenants and the rents we receive.

During inflationary periods, substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the impact of inflation. These provisions include clauses enabling us to receive percentage rent based on tenants' gross sales, which generally increase as prices rise, and/or escalation clauses, which generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases. In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than 10 years, which may provide us the opportunity to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base and/or percentage rent if rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate. Most of the leases require the tenants to pay a fixed amount, subject to annual increases, for their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and certain capital expenditures, which reduces our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

Funds From Operations

Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock of the Company or distributions on preferred units of the Operating Partnership, as applicable. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

We believe that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of our properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, we believe that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of our operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of our properties and interest rates, but also by our capital structure.

We present both FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders and FFO allocable to common shareholders, as we believe that both are useful performance measures. We believe FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders is a useful performance measure since we conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership. We believe FFO allocable to common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders.

In our reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders that is presented below, we make an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of our Operating Partnership in order to arrive at FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders. We then apply a percentage to FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders to arrive at FFO allocable to common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and the weighted-average number of Operating Partnership units held by noncontrolling interests during the period.

FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating our operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

During the three months ended June 30, 2015 , we recognized $3.0 million of expense related to a litigation settlement and a $0.3 million gain on extinguishment of debt. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2015, we recognized a $16.6 million gain on investment related to the sale of marketable securities and received income of $4.7 million, net of related expense, as a partial settlement of ongoing litigation. During the six months ended June 30, 2014, we recognized a $42.7 million net gain on the extinguishment of debt primarily related to the foreclosure of the mortgage loan encumbering Citadel Mall and received income of $0.8 million as a partial settlement of ongoing litigation. Considering the significance and nature of these items, we believe it is important to identify the impact of these changes on our FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of our results of operations. Therefore, we have also presented FFO, as adjusted, excluding these items.

(1)	Represents the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period divided by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and the weighted-average number of Operating Partnership units held by noncontrolling interests during the period.

Adjusted FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2015 decreased 1.2% as compared to the prior-year period. Adjusted FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2015 decreased 0.5% as compared to the same period in 2014. The slight decrease in both the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2015 was primarily due to lost income from sold properties and increases in general and administrative expenses. These declines were partially offset by income from new properties.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to various market risk exposures, including interest rate risk. The following discussion regarding our risk management activities includes forward-looking statements that involve risk and uncertainties. Estimates of future performance and economic conditions are reflected assuming certain changes in interest rates. Caution should be used in evaluating our overall market risk from the information presented below, as actual results may differ. We employ various derivative programs to manage certain portions of our market risk associated with interest rates. See Note 6 of the notes to condensed consolidated financial statements for further discussions of the qualitative aspects of market risk, including derivative financial instrument activity.

Interest Rate Risk

Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at June 30, 2015 , a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable-rate debt would decrease or increase annual cash flows by approximately $5.2 million and $1.6 million, respectively, and increase or decrease annual interest expense, after the effect of capitalized interest, by approximately $5.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt at June 30, 2015 , a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $86.3 million, while a 0.5% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $88.1 million.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report, an evaluation was performed under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer and with the participation of our management, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of the Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company's and the Operating Partnership's disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information that the Company and the Operating Partnership are required to disclose in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms and to ensure that information we are required to disclose is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
