ITEM 1. BUSINESS
All references to “Notes” throughout this Annual Report on Form 10-K refer to the footnotes to the consolidated financial statements in Part II, Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data.
Overview
Phillips Edison & Company, Inc. (“we,” the “Company,” “our,” or “us”) is an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of grocery-anchored shopping centers. Additionally, we operate an investment management business providing property management and advisory services to third-party owned grocery-anchored real estate.
Our portfolio primarily consists of well-occupied, grocery-anchored neighborhood and community shopping centers having a mix of national, regional, and local retailers providing necessity-based goods and services in strong demographic markets throughout the United States. As of
December 31, 2018
, we managed a diversified portfolio of
340
shopping centers,
303
of which are wholly-owned by us and comprised approximately
34.4 million
square feet located in
32
states.
We were formed as a Maryland corporation in October 2009 and have elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. Substantially all of our business is conducted through Phillips Edison Grocery Center Operating Partnership I, L.P. (“Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed in December 2009. We are a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and our wholly-owned subsidiary, Phillips Edison Grocery Center OP GP I LLC, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The majority of our revenues are lease revenues derived from our owned real estate investments.
On
November 16, 2018
, we completed a
$1.9 billion
merger (the “Merger”) with Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT II, Inc. (“REIT II”), a public non-traded REIT that was advised and managed by us. The 100% stock-for-stock transaction created an approximately
$6 billion
internally-managed REIT focused exclusively on grocery-anchored shopping centers. We also acquired an interest in a joint venture through the Merger (see Note
3
for more detail).
On
November 9, 2018
, we entered into a joint venture agreement with The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Northwestern Mutual”), one of the nation’s largest and most experienced commercial real estate investors, to create Grocery Retail Partners I LLC (“GRP I” or the “GRP I joint venture”). Under the terms of the GRP I joint venture, Northwestern Mutual acquired an 85% interest in 17 high-quality grocery-anchored shopping centers, previously owned and operated by us, with an aggregate fair value of approximately
$359 million
. We retained a
15%
ownership in the portfolio while providing asset management and property management services to GRP I.
On
October 4, 2017
, we completed a transaction valued at approximately
$1 billion
to acquire certain real estate assets and the third-party investment management business of Phillips Edison Limited Partnership (“PELP”) in exchange for stock and cash (the “PELP transaction”). See Note
4
for more detail.
Business Objectives and Strategies
Our business objective is to own, operate, and manage well-occupied, grocery-anchored shopping centers that generate cash flows to support distributions to our stockholders and that have the potential for capital appreciation. We seek to achieve this objective through our focus on leasing, merchandising, and efficient property management within our wholly-owned portfolio; strategic acquisitions and capital recycling; and investment management activities. Altogether, our goal is to provide great grocery-anchored shopping experiences and improve our communities one center at a time.
Focus on Growth in Our Wholly-Owned Portfolio
—We believe our focus on the following areas will lead to growth in our portfolio and improved return for our investors:
|
•
|
Protecting Our Core Investment
—We add value by overseeing all aspects of operations at our properties. Our property managers maintain a local presence in order to effectively manage operating costs while maintaining a pleasant, clean, and safe environment where retailers can be successful and customers can enjoy their shopping experience. We utilize our effective accounting, billing, and tax review platform to facilitate our daily operations.
|
|
•
|
Leasing
—Our national footprint of experienced leasing professionals is dedicated to (i) creating the optimal merchandising mix for a center, (ii) increasing occupancy at our centers, (iii) maximizing rental income by capitalizing on below-market rent opportunities within our portfolio, (iv) increasing rents as leases expire, and (v) executing leases with contractual rent increases.
|
|
•
|
Redevelopment
—Our team of seasoned professionals identifies opportunities to unlock additional value at our properties through our redevelopment program. Our redevelopment strategies include outparcel construction, footprint reconfiguration, anchor repositioning, and anchor expansion, among others. We expect these opportunities to increase the overall yield and value of our properties, which will allow us to generate higher returns for our stockholders while creating great grocery-anchored shopping center experiences.
|
Capital Recycling and Strategic Acquisitions
—We continually evaluate opportunities to recycle capital through the disposition of assets. The disposition of assets that we believe have achieved their maximum value, potentially have lower future growth profiles, or have higher retailer risk provides us with capital to strengthen our balance sheet or to pursue assets with higher growth opportunities. The recycled capital allows us to purchase assets located in attractive demographic markets throughout the United States where our management believes our fully-integrated operating platform can add value and create growth.
5
Investment Management Activities
—Our investment management business utilizes the in-house experience of owning and operating grocery-anchored shopping centers to generate revenue by providing comprehensive real estate and asset management services to third-party funds, including (i) Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT III, Inc. (“PECO III”), a non-traded publicly registered REIT currently raising up to $1.5 billion dollars in equity; (ii) three institutional joint ventures, and (iii) one private fund. Collectively, the assets under management for these external funds totaled approximately $
680 million
as of
December 31, 2018
. Our investment management business will expand our platform and relationships while preserving our balance sheet and will afford us the opportunity to consider acquisitions in the future similar to what we have done historically.
Joint Ventures
—We participate in certain joint venture opportunities which we feel are beneficial to our stockholders over the long-term. We have contributed certain assets to two joint ventures with well-respected institutional investors, where we maintain an ownership interest in the assets while maintaining operational control at the property level and generating fees from services. This provides us opportunities to increase our revenue and share in a portion of the potential capital appreciation of a given property.
Conservative Balance Sheet
—Our goal is to preserve a flexible yet conservative capital structure, while maintaining a focus on driving stockholder returns. We believe it is critical to have access to multiple forms of capital, including common stock, unsecured debt, bank debt, and mortgage debt, to maximize availability and minimize our overall cost of capital. We believe maintaining a conservative balance sheet with an appropriately staggered debt maturity profile positions the Company well for long-term growth.
Competition
We are subject to significant competition in seeking real estate investments and tenants. We compete with many third parties engaged in real estate investment activities including other REITs, specialty finance companies, savings and loan associations, banks, insurance companies, mutual funds, institutional investors, investment banking firms, hedge funds, and other persons. Some of these competitors, including larger REITs, have greater financial resources than we do and may potentially enjoy competitive advantages that result from, among other things, increased access to capital, lower cost of capital, and enhanced operating efficiencies. In addition to these entities, we also face competition from smaller landlords and companies at the local level in seeking tenants to occupy our shopping centers. In these local markets, we seek to attract potential tenants and retain existing tenants from the same tenant base as do local landlords and entities of varying sizes. This further increases the number of competitors we have and the type of competition that we face in seeking to execute on our business objectives and strategies.
Segment Data
As of
December 31, 2017
, we operated through two business segments: Owned Real Estate and Investment Management. Following the Merger, we determined, as of
December 31, 2018
, we have one reportable segment. Our segment disclosures have been updated to reflect this change.
Environmental Matters
As an owner of real estate, we are subject to various environmental laws of federal, state, and local governments. Compliance with federal, state, and local environmental laws has not had a material, adverse effect on our business, assets, results of operations, financial condition, and ability to pay distributions, and we do not believe that our existing portfolio will require us to incur material expenditures to comply with these laws and regulations.
Corporate Headquarters and Employees
Our corporate headquarters, located at 11501 Northlake Drive, Cincinnati, Ohio 45249, is where we conduct a majority of our management, leasing, construction, and investment activities, as well as administrative functions such as accounting and finance. As of
December 31, 2018
, we had approximately
300
employees.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
You should specifically consider the following material risks in addition to the other information contained in this Annual Report on Form 10-K. The occurrence of any of the following risks might have a material adverse effect on our business and financial condition. The risks and uncertainties discussed below are not the only ones we face, but do represent those risks and uncertainties that we believe are most significant to our business, operating results, financial condition, prospects and forward-looking statements.
Risks Related to Our Structure and an Investment in Us
Because no public trading market for our shares currently exists, it is difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares and, if our stockholders are able to sell their shares, it may be at a discount to the public offering price.
There is no public market for our shares. Until our shares are listed, if ever, stockholders may not sell their shares unless the buyer meets the applicable suitability and minimum purchase standards. Under the share repurchase program (“SRP”), we repurchase shares at a price in place at the time of the repurchase and not based on the price at which you initially purchased your shares. We currently, and likely will continue to, repurchase fewer shares than have been requested to be repurchased due to lack of readily available funds under the SRP. While we have a limited SRP, in its sole discretion, our Board of Directors (“Board”) could amend, suspend, or terminate our SRP upon 30 days’ notice. Further, the SRP includes numerous restrictions that would limit a stockholder’s ability to sell his or her shares to us. These restrictions have limited us from repurchasing shares submitted to us under the SRP in the past and may do so again in the future.
Therefore, it is difficult for our stockholders to sell their shares promptly or at all. If a stockholder is able to sell his or her shares, it may be at a discount to the public offering price of such shares. It is also likely that our shares would not be accepted as the primary collateral for a loan.
Our stockholders may not be able to sell their shares under our share repurchase program and, if they are able to sell their shares under the program, they may not be able to recover the amount of their investment in our shares of common stock.
Our SRP includes numerous restrictions that limit our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares. During any calendar year, we may repurchase no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. Our stockholders must hold their shares for at least one year in order to participate in the SRP, except for repurchases sought upon a stockholder’s death or “qualifying disability”. The cash available for redemption on any particular date is generally limited to the proceeds from the dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) during the period consisting of the preceding four fiscal quarters, less any cash already used for redemptions since the start of the same period; however, subject to the limitations described above, we may use other sources of cash at the discretion of our Board. These limitations do not, however, apply to repurchases sought upon a stockholder’s death or “qualifying disability.” Only those stockholders who purchased their shares from us or received their shares from us (directly or indirectly) through one or more non-cash transactions may be able to participate in the SRP. In other words, once our shares are transferred for value by a stockholder, the transferee and all subsequent holders of the shares are not eligible to participate in the SRP. These limits may prevent us from accommodating all repurchase requests made in any year. For example, in 2018 repurchase requests exceeded the funding limits provided under the SRP, and we were unable to repurchase all of the shares of common stock submitted to us for repurchase. These restrictions would severely limit our stockholders’ ability to sell their shares should they require liquidity and would limit their ability to recover the value they invested.
In addition, the repurchase price per share for all stockholders under the SRP is equal to the estimated value per share as determined periodically by our Board, which is currently $11.05. The actual value per share as of the date on which an investor makes a repurchase request may be significantly different than the repurchase price such investor receives.
The actual value of shares that we repurchase under our SRP may be less than what we pay.
We repurchase shares under our SRP at the estimated value per share of our common stock. This value is likely to differ from the price at which a stockholder could resell his or her shares. Thus, when we repurchase shares of our common stock, the repurchase may be dilutive to our remaining stockholders.
We use an estimated value of our shares of common stock that is based on a number of assumptions that may not be accurate or complete and is also subject to a number of limitations.
To assist members of the Financial Industry Regulatory Authority (“FINRA”) and their associated persons that participated in our initial public offering, pursuant to applicable FINRA and National Association Security Dealers conduct rules, we disclose in each annual report distributed to stockholders a per share estimated value of our shares of common stock, the method by which it was developed, and the date of the data used to develop the estimated value. Effective May 9, 2018, the Board approved an estimated value per share of our common stock of $11.05 based on the estimated fair value range of our real estate portfolio as indicated in a third-party valuation report plus the value of our cash and cash equivalents less the value of our mortgages and loans payable as of March 31, 2018.
Our estimated value per share (“EVPS”) is based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not be accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could derive a different EVPS, and this difference could be significant. The EVPS is not audited and does not represent a determination of the fair value of our assets or liabilities based on the accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), nor does it represent a liquidation value of our assets and liabilities or the amount at which our shares of common stock would trade if they were listed on a national securities exchange. Accordingly, with respect to the EVPS, there can be no assurance that:
|
•
|
a stockholder would be able to resell his or her shares at the EVPS;
|
|
•
|
a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to our EVPS upon liquidation of our assets and settlement of our liabilities or a sale of the Company;
|
6
|
•
|
our shares of common stock would trade at the EVPS on a national securities exchange;
|
|
•
|
a third party would offer the EVPS in an arm’s-length transaction to purchase all or substantially all of our shares of common stock;
|
|
•
|
an independent third-party appraiser or third-party valuation firm would agree with our EVPS; or
|
|
•
|
the methodology used to calculate our EVPS would be acceptable to FINRA or for compliance with Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 (“ERISA”) reporting requirements.
|
Furthermore, we have not made any adjustments to the valuation of our EVPS for the impact of other transactions occurring subsequent to May 9, 2018, including, but not limited to, (i) the Merger in November 2018; (ii) the formation of the GRP I joint venture in November 2018; (iii) acquisitions or dispositions of assets; (
iv
) the issuance of common stock under the DRIP; (v) net operating income earned and dividends declared; (vi) the repurchase of shares; and (vii) changes in leases, tenancy or other business or operational changes. The value of our shares of common stock will fluctuate over time in response to developments related to individual real estate assets, the management of those assets, and changes in the real estate and finance markets. Because of, among other factors, the high concentration of our total assets in real estate and the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, changes in the value of individual real estate assets or changes in valuation assumptions could have a very significant impact on the value of our shares of common stock. The EVPS does not take into account any disposition costs or fees for real estate properties, debt prepayment penalties that could apply upon the prepayment of certain of our debt obligations, or the impact of restrictions on the assumption of debt. Accordingly, the EVPS of our common stock may or may not be an accurate reflection of the fair market value of our stockholders’ investments and will not likely represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate sale of our assets.
If we do not successfully implement a liquidity transaction, stockholders may have to hold their investment for an indefinite period.
There currently is no public trading market for shares of our common stock and our charter no longer contains a requirement that we effect a liquidity event by a specific date. In the future, our Board may consider various forms of liquidity, each of which is referred to as a liquidity event, including, but not limited to: (i) the listing of shares of common stock on a national securities exchange; (ii) the sale of all or substantially all of our assets; (iii) a sale or merger that would provide stockholders with cash and/or securities of a publicly traded company; or (iv) the dissolution of the Company. However, there can be no assurance that we will cause a liquidity event to occur. If we do not pursue a liquidity transaction, shares of our common stock may continue to be illiquid and stockholders may, for an indefinite period of time, be unable to easily convert their investment to cash and could suffer losses on their investments.
If we continue to pay distributions from sources other than our cash flows from operations, we may not be able to sustain our distribution rate, we may have fewer funds available for investment in properties and other assets, and our stockholders’ overall returns may be reduced.
Our organizational documents permit us to pay distributions from any source without limit (other than those limits set forth under Maryland law). To the extent we continue to fund distributions from borrowings, we will have fewer funds available for investment in real estate properties and other real estate-related assets, and our stockholders’ overall returns may be reduced.
At times, we may be forced to borrow funds to pay distributions, which could increase our operating costs. Furthermore, if we cannot cover our distributions with cash flows from operations, we may be unable to sustain our distribution rate. For the year ended
December 31, 2018
, we paid gross distributions to our common stockholders of
$124.8 million
, including distributions reinvested through the DRIP of
$44.1 million
. For the year ended
December 31, 2018
, our net cash provided by operating activities was
$153.3 million
, which represents a surplus of
$28.5 million
, or
22.8%
, of our distributions paid, while our funds from operations (“FFO”) Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests were
$156.2 million
, which represents a surplus of
$31.4 million
, or
25.2%
, of the distributions paid. For the year ended
December 31, 2017
, we paid distributions of
$123.3 million
, including distributions reinvested through the DRIP of
$49.1 million
. For the year ended
December 31, 2017
, our net cash provided by operating activities was
$108.9 million
, which represents a shortfall of
$14.4 million
, or
11.7%
, of our distributions paid, while our FFO was
$84.2 million
, which represents a shortfall of
$39.1 million
, or
31.7%
of our distributions paid. The shortfall was funded by proceeds from borrowings.
We cannot assure stockholders that we will be able to continue paying distributions at the rate currently paid.
We expect to continue our current distribution practices. Stockholders, however, may not receive distributions equivalent to those previously paid by us for various reasons, including the following:
|
•
|
as a result of the Merger, the total amount of cash required for us to pay distributions at our current rate has increased;
|
|
•
|
we may not have enough cash to pay such distributions due to changes in our cash requirements, indebtedness, capital spending plans, cash flows, or financial position, or as a result of unknown or unforeseen liabilities incurred in connection with the PELP transaction or the Merger;
|
|
•
|
decisions on whether, when and in what amounts to make any future distributions will remain at all times entirely at the discretion of the Board, which reserves the right to change our distribution practices at any time and for any reason;
|
|
•
|
our Board may elect to retain cash to maintain or improve our credit ratings and financial position; and
|
|
•
|
the amount of dividends that our subsidiaries may distribute to us may be subject to restrictions imposed by state law, restrictions that may be imposed by state regulators, and restrictions imposed by the terms of any current or future indebtedness that these subsidiaries may incur.
|
Existing and future stockholders have no contractual or other legal right to distributions that have not been declared.
7
Loss of key personnel or inability to attract and retain personnel could adversely affect our business.
Our future success depends, in part, upon our ability to hire and retain a sufficient number of qualified personnel. Our future success also depends upon the service of our executive officers, who have extensive market knowledge and relationships and will exercise substantial influence over our operational, financing, acquisition, and disposition activity.
Many of our other key executive personnel, particularly our senior managers, also have extensive experience and strong reputations in the industry. In particular, the extent and nature of the relationships that these individuals have developed with financial institutions and existing and prospective customers is critically important to the success of our business. Losing one or more members of our senior management team, or our inability to attract and retain highly qualified personnel, could adversely affect our business, diminish our investment opportunities, and weaken our relationships with lenders, business partners, and industry personnel, which could materially and adversely affect the Company.
We have agreed to nominate Mr. Edison to our Board for each annual meeting through 2027 and for Mr. Edison to continue serving as Chairman of the Board through 2020.
As part of the PELP transaction, we agreed to nominate Jeffrey S. Edison to the Board for each annual meeting through 2027, subject to certain terminating events. As a result, it is possible that Mr. Edison may continue to be nominated as a director in circumstances in which the independent directors would not otherwise have nominated him.
Our bylaws provide that Mr. Edison will continue to serve as Chairman of the Board until October 7, 2020, subject to certain terminating events, including the listing of our common stock on a national securities exchange. As a result, Mr. Edison may continue to serve as Chairman of the Board in circumstances when the independent directors would not otherwise have elected him.
We are subject to conflicts of interest relating to the management of another REIT by our officers.
We and our management team serve as the sponsor and advisor of PECO III. We and PECO III have overlapping investment objectives and investment strategies. As a result, we may be seeking to acquire properties and real estate-related investments at the same time as PECO III. We have implemented certain procedures to help manage any perceived or actual conflicts between us and PECO III, including adopting an allocation policy to allocate property acquisitions between the two companies.
If we determine that an investment opportunity may be equally appropriate for both entities, then the entity that has had the longest period of time elapse since it was allocated an investment opportunity will be allocated such investment opportunity, subject to an expected right of first offer to be provided to PECO III. There can be no assurance that these policies will be adequate to address all of the conflicts that may arise, or that these policies will address such conflicts in a manner that is favorable to us. Further, under our advisory agreement with PECO III, we receive fees for various services, including, but not limited to, the day-to-day management of PECO III and transaction-related services. The terms of the advisory agreement were not the result of arm’s-length negotiations between independent parties and, as a result, the terms of the agreement may not be as favorable to us as they would have been if we had negotiated the agreement with an unaffiliated third party.
The Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement grants certain rights and protections to the limited partners, which may prevent or delay a change of control transaction that might involve a premium price for our shares of common stock.
The Operating Partnership’s limited partnership agreement grants certain rights and protections to the limited partners, including granting them the right to consent to a change of control transaction. Furthermore, Mr. Edison currently has voting control over approximately
50.2%
of the Operating Partnership’s limited partnership units (exclusive of those owned by us) and therefore could have a significant influence over votes on change of control transactions.
Our future results will suffer if we do not effectively manage our expanded portfolio and operations.
With the closing of the Merger, we have an expanded portfolio and operations, and likely will continue to expand our operations through additional acquisitions and other strategic transactions, some of which may involve complex challenges. Our future success will depend, in part, upon our ability to manage expansion opportunities; integrate new operations into our existing business in an efficient and timely manner; successfully monitor our operations, costs, regulatory compliance, and service quality; and maintain other necessary internal controls.
There can be no assurance, however, regarding when or to what extent we will be able to realize the anticipated benefits of the Merger. We will be required to devote significant management attention and resources to integrating our business practices and operations with the newly acquired companies. It is possible that the integration process could result in the distraction of our management, the disruption of our ongoing business, or inconsistencies in our operations, services, standards, controls, procedures, and policies, any of which could adversely affect our ability to maintain relationships with operators, vendors, and employees or to fully achieve the anticipated benefits of the Merger. There may also be potential unknown or unforeseen liabilities, increased expenses, or delays associated with integrating the companies we acquired in the Merger.
There can be no assurance that our expansion or acquisition opportunities will be successful, or when and to what extent we will realize our expected operating efficiencies, cost savings, revenue enhancements, synergies, or other benefits.
We may be liable for potentially large, unanticipated costs arising from our acquisition of companies contributed or transferred in the PELP transaction and the Merger.
Prior to completing the PELP transaction and the Merger, we performed certain due diligence reviews of the business of PELP and REIT II. Our due diligence review may not have adequately uncovered all of the contingent or undisclosed liabilities we may incur as a consequence of the PELP transaction or the Merger. Any such liabilities could cause us to experience potentially significant losses, which could materially adversely affect our business, results of operations and financial condition.
8
In addition, we have agreed to honor and fulfill, following the closing, the rights to indemnification and exculpation from liabilities for acts or omissions occurring at or prior to the closing of each of the PELP transaction and the Merger in existence at closing in favor of a manager, director, officer, trustee, agent or fiduciary of any company contributed or transferred under the PELP transaction or the Merger or their respective subsidiaries contained in (i) the organizational documents of such company or subsidiary and (ii) all existing indemnification agreements of such companies and their subsidiaries. For six years after the closing, we may not amend, modify or repeal the organizational documents of companies contributed under the PELP transaction or the Merger and their respective subsidiaries in any way that would adversely affect such rights. We may incur substantial costs to address such claims and are limited in our ability to modify such indemnification obligations.
The tax protection agreement, during its term, could limit the Operating Partnership’s ability to sell or otherwise dispose of certain properties and may require the Operating Partnership to maintain certain debt levels that otherwise would not be required to operate its business.
We and the Operating Partnership entered into a tax protection agreement at closing of the PELP transaction, pursuant to which if the Operating Partnership (i) sells, exchanges, transfers, conveys or otherwise disposes of certain properties in a taxable transaction for a period of ten years commencing on the closing, or (ii) fails, prior to the expiration of such period, to maintain minimum levels of indebtedness that would be allocable to each protected partner for tax purposes or, alternatively, fails to offer such protected partners the opportunity to guarantee specific types of the Operating Partnership’s indebtedness in order to enable such partners to continue to defer certain tax liabilities, the Operating Partnership will indemnify each affected protected partner against certain resulting tax liabilities. Therefore, although it may be in the stockholders’ best interest for us to cause the Operating Partnership to sell, exchange, transfer, convey or otherwise dispose of one of these properties, it may be economically prohibitive for us to do so during the ten-year protection period because of these indemnity obligations. Moreover, these obligations may require us to cause the Operating Partnership to maintain more or different indebtedness than we would otherwise require for our business. As a result, the tax protection agreement could, during its term, restrict our ability to take actions or make decisions that otherwise would be in our best interests.
General Risks Related to Investments in Real Estate
Economic and regulatory changes that impact the real estate market generally may decrease the value of our investments and weaken our operating results.
Our properties and their performance are subject to the risks typically associated with real estate, including, but not limited to:
|
•
|
downturns in national, regional, and local economic conditions;
|
|
•
|
increased competition for real estate assets targeted by our investment strategy;
|
|
•
|
adverse local conditions, such as oversupply or reduction in demand for similar properties in an area and changes in real estate zoning laws that may reduce the desirability of real estate in an area;
|
|
•
|
vacancies, changes in market rental rates and the need to periodically repair, renovate and re-let space;
|
|
•
|
changes in interest rates and the availability of financing, which may render the sale or refinance of a property or loan difficult or unattractive;
|
|
•
|
changes in tax, real estate, environmental, and zoning laws;
|
|
•
|
periods of high interest rates and tight money supply; and
|
|
•
|
the illiquidity of real estate investments generally.
|
Any of these factors could result in a decrease in the value of our investments, which would have an adverse effect on our operations, on our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders and on the value of our stockholders’ investments.
E-commerce can have a negative impact on our business.
The use of the internet by consumers continues to gain popularity and the migration towards e-commerce is expected to continue. This increase in internet sales could result in a downturn in the business of our current tenants in their “brick and mortar” locations and could affect the way future tenants lease space. While we devote considerable effort and resources to analyze and respond to tenant trends, preferences and consumer spending patterns, we cannot predict with certainty what future tenants will want, what future retail spaces will look like and how much revenue will be generated at traditional “brick and mortar” locations. If we are unable to anticipate and respond promptly to trends in the market, our occupancy levels and rental amounts may decline.
Our revenue will be affected by the success and economic viability of our anchor tenants.
Anchor tenants (a tenant occupying 10,000 or more square feet) occupy large stores in our shopping centers, pay a significant portion of the total rent at a property and contribute to the success of other tenants by attracting shoppers to the property. Our net income and cash flow may be adversely affected by the loss of revenues and additional costs in the event a significant anchor tenant (i) becomes bankrupt or insolvent, (ii) experiences a downturn in its business, (iii) materially defaults on its leases, (iv) decides not to renew its leases as they expire, (v) renews its lease at lower rental rates and/or requires tenant improvements, or (vi) renews its lease but reduces its store size, which results in down-time and additional tenant improvement costs to us to re-lease the space. Some anchors have the right to vacate their space and may prevent us from re-tenanting by continuing to comply and pay rent in accordance with their lease agreement. Vacated anchor space, including space owned by the anchor, can reduce rental revenues generated by the shopping center in other spaces because of the loss of the departed anchor's customer drawing power. If a significant tenant vacates a property, co-tenancy clauses in select lease contracts may allow other tenants to modify or terminate their rent or lease obligations. Co-tenancy clauses have several variants: they may allow a tenant to postpone a store opening if certain other tenants fail to open their stores; they may allow a tenant to close its store prior to lease expiration if another tenant closes its store prior to lease expiration; or they may allow a tenant to pay reduced levels of rent until a certain number of tenants open their stores within the same shopping center.
9
The leases of some anchor tenants may permit the anchor tenant to transfer its lease to another retailer. The transfer to a new anchor tenant could cause customer traffic in the retail center to decrease and thereby reduce the income generated by that retail center. A lease transfer to a new anchor tenant could also allow other tenants to make reduced rental payments or to terminate their leases. In the event that we are unable to re-lease the vacated space to a new anchor tenant in such situation, we may incur additional expenses in order to re-model the space to be able to re-lease the space to more than one tenant.
We depend on our tenants for revenue, and, accordingly, our net income and our ability to make distributions to stockholders is dependent upon the success and economic viability of our tenants.
We depend upon tenants for revenue. Non-anchor tenants may be more vulnerable to negative economic conditions as they have more limited resources than anchor tenants. A property may incur vacancies either by the expiration of a tenant lease, the continued default of a tenant under its lease, or the early termination of a lease by a tenant. If vacancies continue for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenues resulting in less cash available to distribute to stockholders. In order to maintain tenants, we may have to offer inducements, such as free rent and tenant improvements, to compete for attractive tenants. If we are unable to attract the right type or mix of non-anchor tenants into our centers, our revenues and cash flow may be adversely impacted. In addition, if we are unable to attract additional or replacement tenants, the resale value of the property could be diminished, even below our cost to acquire the property, because the market value of a particular property depends principally upon the value of the cash flow generated by the leases associated with that property. Such a reduction on the resale value of a property could also reduce the value of our stockholders’ investments.
The bankruptcy or insolvency of a major tenant may adversely impact our operations and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders.
The bankruptcy or insolvency of a significant tenant or a number of smaller tenants may have an adverse impact on financial condition and our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders. Generally, under bankruptcy law, a debtor tenant has 120 days to exercise the option of assuming or rejecting the obligations under any unexpired lease for nonresidential real property, which period may be extended once by the bankruptcy court. If the tenant assumes its lease, the tenant must cure all defaults under the lease and may be required to provide adequate assurance of its future performance under the lease. If the tenant rejects the lease, we will have a claim against the tenant’s bankruptcy estate. Although rent owing for the period between filing for bankruptcy and rejection of the lease may be afforded administrative expense priority and paid in full, pre- bankruptcy arrears and amounts owing under the remaining term of the lease will be afforded general unsecured claim status (absent collateral securing the claim). Moreover, amounts owing under the remaining term of the lease will be capped. Other than equity and subordinated claims, general unsecured claims are the last claims paid in a bankruptcy, and therefore, funds may not be available to pay such claims in full. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our shopping centers files bankruptcy and rejects its leases, we may experience a significant reduction in our revenues and may not be able to collect all pre-petition amounts owed by the bankrupt tenant.
If we enter into long-term leases with retail tenants, those leases may not result in fair value over time.
Long-term leases do not typically allow for significant changes in rental payments. If we do not accurately judge the potential for increases in market rental rates when negotiating these long-term leases, significant increases in future property operating costs could result in receiving less than fair value from these leases. Such circumstances would adversely affect our revenues and funds available for distribution.
We may be restricted from re-leasing space at our retail properties.
Leases with retail tenants may contain provisions giving the particular tenant the exclusive right to sell particular types of merchandise or provide specific types of services within the particular retail center. These provisions may limit the number and types of prospective tenants interested in leasing space in a particular retail property.
Our properties may be subject to impairment charges.
We routinely evaluate our real estate investments for impairment indicators. The judgment regarding the existence of impairment indicators is based on factors such as market conditions, actual marketing or listing price of properties actively being targeted for disposition, tenant performance, and lease structure. For example, the early termination of, or default under, a lease by a tenant may lead to an impairment charge. Since the majority of our properties are grocery-anchored, the financial failure of, or other default by, a grocery anchor under its lease may result in a significant impairment loss. If we determine that an impairment has occurred, we would be required to make a downward adjustment to the net carrying value of the property, which could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the impairment charge is recorded. Negative developments in the real estate market may cause us to reevaluate the business and macro-economic assumptions used in its impairment analysis. Changes in our assumptions based on actual results may have a material impact on our financial statements.
We face risks associated with the acquisition of properties.
Our investment strategy includes investing in high-quality grocery-anchored shopping centers. The acquisition of properties and/or real estate entities entails risks that include, but are not limited to, the following, any of which may adversely affect our results of operations and cash flows: (i) properties we acquire may fail to achieve the occupancy or rental rates we project, within the time frames we estimate, which may result in the properties' failure to achieve the investment returns we project; (ii) our investigation of an entity, property or building prior to our acquisition, and any representation we may have received from such seller, may fail to reveal various liabilities including defects and necessary repairs, which may increase our costs; (iii) our estimate of the costs to improve, reposition or redevelop a property may prove to be too low, or the time we estimate to complete the improvement, repositioning or redevelopment may be too short, either of which may result in the property failing to achieve our projected return, either temporarily or permanently; (iv) we may not recover our costs from an unsuccessful acquisition; (v) our acquisition activities may distract or strain our management capacity; and (vi) we may not be able to successfully integrate an acquisition into our existing operations platform.
10
We may be unable to sell properties when desired because of market conditions.
Our properties, including their related tangible and intangible assets, represent the majority of our total consolidated assets and they may not be readily convertible to cash. As a result, our ability to sell one or more of our properties, including properties held in joint ventures, in response to changes in economic, industry, or other conditions may be limited. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, availability and terms of financing, interest rates and other factors, including supply and demand for space, that are beyond our control. There may be less demand for lower quality properties that we have identified for ultimate disposition in markets with uncertain economic or retail environments, and where buyers are more reliant on the availability of third party mortgage financing. If we want to sell a property, we can provide no assurance that we will be able to dispose of it in the desired time period or at all or that the sales price of a property will be attractive at the relevant time or even exceed the carrying value of our investment. Moreover, if a property is mortgaged, we may not be able to obtain a release of the lien on that property without the payment of a substantial prepayment penalty, which may restrict our ability to dispose of the property, even though the sale might otherwise be desirable.
Certain properties we own have a low tax basis, which may result in a taxable gain on sale. We intend to utilize 1031 exchanges to mitigate taxable income; however, there can be no assurance that we will identify properties that meet our investment objectives for acquisitions. In the event that we do not utilize 1031 exchanges, we may be required to distribute the gain proceeds to stockholders or pay income tax, which may reduce our cash flow available to fund our commitments and distributions to stockholders.
We do not have exclusive control over our joint ventures, such that we are unable to ensure that our objectives will be pursued.
We have invested capital, and may in the future invest additional capital, in joint ventures instead of owning directly. In these investments, we do not have exclusive control over the development, financing, leasing, management, and other aspects of these investments. As a result, the joint venture partners might have interests or goals that are inconsistent with ours, take action contrary to our interests, or otherwise impede our objectives. These activities are subject to the same risks as our investments in our wholly-owned properties. In addition, these investments and other future similar investments may involve risks that would not be present were a third party not involved, including the possibility that the joint venture partners might become bankrupt, suffer a deterioration in their creditworthiness, or fail to fund their share of required capital contributions. Conflicts arising between us and our partners may be difficult to manage and/or resolve and it could be difficult to manage or otherwise monitor the existing business arrangements.
In addition, joint venture arrangements may decrease our ability to manage risk and implicate additional risks, such as (i) potentially inferior financial capacity, diverging business goals and strategies and the need for our venture partners’ continued cooperation; (ii) our inability to take actions with respect to the joint ventures’ activities that we believe are favorable to us if our joint venture partners do not agree; (iii) our inability to control the legal entities that have title to the real estate associated with the joint ventures; (iv) our lenders may not be easily able to sell our joint venture assets and investments or may view them less favorably as collateral, which could negatively affect our liquidity and capital resources; (v) our joint venture partners can take actions that we may not be able to anticipate or prevent, which could result in negative impacts on our debt and equity; and (vi) our joint venture partners’ business decisions or other actions or omissions may result in harm to our reputation or adversely affect the value of our investments.
We have acquired, and may continue to acquire or finance, properties with lock-out provisions, which may prohibit us from selling a property, or may require us to maintain specified debt levels for a period of years on some properties.
A lock-out provision is a provision that prohibits the prepayment of a loan during a specified period of time. Lock-out provisions may include terms that provide strong financial disincentives for borrowers to prepay their outstanding loan balance and exist in order to protect the yield expectations of lenders. We currently own
14
properties with loans that are subject to lock-out provisions which prohibit us from prepayment, and we may acquire additional properties in the future subject to such provisions. Lock-out provisions could materially restrict us from selling or otherwise disposing of or refinancing properties when we may desire to do so. Lock-out provisions may prohibit us from reducing the outstanding indebtedness with respect to any properties, refinancing such indebtedness prior to or at maturity, or increasing the amount of indebtedness with respect to such properties. Lock-out provisions could impair our ability to take other actions during the lock-out period that could be in the best interests of our stockholders and, therefore, may have an adverse impact on the value of our shares relative to the value that would result if the lock-out provisions did not exist. In particular, lock-out provisions could preclude us from participating in major transactions that could result in a disposition of our assets or a change in control even though that disposition or change in control might be in the best interests of our stockholders.
If we set aside insufficient capital reserves, we may be required to defer necessary capital improvements.
If we do not have enough reserves for capital to supply needed funds for capital improvements throughout the life of the investment in a property and there is insufficient cash available from our operations, we may be required to defer necessary improvements to a property, which may cause that property to suffer from a greater risk of obsolescence or a decline in value, or a greater risk of decreased cash flow as a result of fewer potential tenants being attracted to the property. If this happens, we may not be able to maintain projected rental rates for affected properties, and our results of operations may be negatively affected.
Uninsured losses relating to real property or excessively expensive premiums for insurance coverage could reduce our cash flows and the return on our stockholders’ investments.
We maintain insurance coverage with third-party carriers who provide a portion of the coverage of potential losses, including commercial general liability, fire, flood, extended coverage and rental loss insurance on all of our properties. We currently self-insure a portion of our commercial insurance deductible risk through our captive insurance company. To the extent that our
11
captive insurance company is unable to bear that risk, we may be required to fund additional capital to our captive insurance company or we may be required to bear that loss. As a result, our operating results may be adversely affected.
There are some types of losses, generally catastrophic in nature, that are uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be insured subject to limitations, such as large deductibles. If an uninsured loss or a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, we could lose all or a portion of the capital we have invested in a property, as well as the anticipated future revenue it could generate but may remain obligated for any mortgage debt or other financial obligation related to the property.
As an owner and operator of real estate, we can face liabilities for environmental contamination.
We could become subject to liability in the form of fines or damages for noncompliance with environmental laws and regulations. U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment may require us, as a current or previous owner or operator of real property, to investigate and clean up hazardous or toxic substances or petroleum product releases at a property or at impacted neighboring properties. Some of these laws and regulations may impose joint and several liability on tenants, owners, or operators for the costs of investigation or remediation of contaminated properties, regardless of fault or the legality of the original disposal. Under various federal, state, and local environmental laws, ordinances, and regulations, a current or former owner or operator of real property may be liable for the cost to remove or remediate hazardous or toxic substances, wastes, or petroleum products on, under, from, or in such property. These costs could be substantial and liability under these laws may attach whether or not the owner or manager knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such contamination. We may be subject to regulatory action and may also be held liable to third parties for personal injury or property damage incurred by the parties in connection with any such laws and regulations or hazardous or toxic substances. The costs of investigation, removal or remediation of hazardous or toxic substances, and related liabilities, may be substantial and could materially and adversely affect us. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances, or the failure to remediate the related contamination, may also adversely affect our ability to sell, lease or redevelop a property or to borrow money using a property as collateral.
Our efforts to identify environmental liabilities may not be successful.
Although we believe that our portfolio is in substantial compliance with U.S. federal, state and local environmental laws and regulations regarding hazardous or toxic substances, this belief is based on limited testing. Nearly all of our properties have been subjected to Phase I or similar environmental audits. These environmental audits have not revealed, nor are we aware of, any environmental liability that we believe is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on us. However, we cannot assure you that: (i) previous environmental studies with respect to the portfolio revealed all potential environmental liabilities; (ii) any previous owner, occupant or tenant of a property did not create any material environmental condition not known to us; (iii) the current environmental condition of the portfolio will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by other unrelated third parties; or (iv) future uses or conditions (including, without limitation, changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or the interpretation thereof) will not result in environmental liabilities.
Compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act and fire, safety, and other regulations may require us to make unintended expenditures.
Our properties are, or may become subject to, the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (“ADA”), which generally requires that all places of public accommodation be made accessible to people with disabilities. Compliance with the ADA’s requirements could require the removal of access barriers and noncompliance may result in fines by the U.S. government, an award of damages to private litigants, or both. While we attempt to acquire properties that are already in compliance with the ADA or place the burden of compliance on the seller or other third party, such as a tenant, we cannot assure stockholders that we will be able to acquire properties or allocate responsibilities in this manner. In addition, we are required to operate the properties in compliance with fire and safety regulations, building codes, and other land use regulations, as they may be adopted by governmental entities and become applicable to the properties. We may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to comply with these requirements, and these expenditures may have a material adverse effect on our ability to meet our financial obligations and make distributions to our stockholders.
We face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks which could adversely affect our business, cause loss of confidential information, and disrupt operations.
A cyber incident is considered to be any adverse event that threatens the confidentiality, integrity, or availability of our information resources. More specifically, a cyber incident is an intentional attack or an unintentional event that can include gaining unauthorized access to systems to disrupt operations, corrupt data, or steal confidential information. We may face cyber incidents and security breaches through malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, persons inside our organization, or persons with access to systems inside our organization and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. The risk of a cybersecurity breach or disruption, particularly through a cyber incident, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased. Our IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our tenants. Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of these types of IT networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging.
While we maintain some of our own critical information technology systems, we also depend on third parties to provide important information technology services relating to several key business functions, such as payroll, human resources, electronic communications and certain finance functions. Our measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats, including password protection, firewalls, backup servers, threat monitoring and periodic penetration testing, may not be successful in preventing a data breach or limiting the effects of a breach. Furthermore, the security measures employed by third-party service providers may prove to be ineffective at preventing breaches of their systems.
12
The primary risks that could directly result from the occurrence of a cyber incident include operational interruption, damage to our relationship with our tenants, and private data exposure. Our financial results may be negatively impacted by such an incident or resulting negative media attention. A cyber incident could (i) disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems and therefore our operations and/or those of certain of our tenants; (ii) result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive, or otherwise valuable information of the Company or others, which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive, or otherwise harmful purposes and outcomes; (iii) result in our inability to maintain the building systems relied upon by our tenants for the efficient use of their leased space; (iv) require significant management attention and resources to remedy and damages that result; (v) result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants and/or missed reporting deadlines; (vi) result in our inability to properly monitor our compliance with the rules and regulations regarding our qualification as a REIT; (vii) subject us to claims for breach of contract, damages, credits, penalties, or termination of leases or other agreements; or (viii) damage our reputation among our tenants, investors and associates. Such security breaches also could result in a violation of applicable federal and state privacy and other laws, and subject us to private consumer, business partner, or securities litigation and governmental investigations and proceedings, any of which could result in our exposure to material civil or criminal liability, and we may not be able to recover these expenses from our service providers, responsible parties, or insurance carriers. Moreover, cyber incidents perpetrated against our tenants, including unauthorized access to customers’ credit card data and other confidential information, could diminish consumer confidence and consumer spending and negatively impact our business.
Risks Associated with Debt Financing
We utilize a significant amount of indebtedness in the operation of our business. Required debt service payments and other risks related to our debt financing could adversely affect our financial condition, operating results, and cash flows.
We have obtained, and are likely to continue to obtain, lines of credit and other long-term financing that are secured by our properties and other assets. In some instances, we may acquire real properties by financing a portion of the price of the properties and mortgaging or pledging some or all of the properties purchased as security for that debt. We may also incur mortgage debt on properties that we already own in order to obtain funds to acquire additional properties. In addition, we may borrow as necessary or advisable to ensure that we maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, including borrowings to satisfy the REIT requirement that we distribute at least 90% of our annual REIT taxable income to our stockholders (computed without regard to the dividends-paid deduction and excluding net capital gain). We, however, can give our stockholders no assurance that we will be able to obtain such borrowings on satisfactory terms.
High debt levels will cause us to incur higher interest charges, which would result in higher debt service payments and could be accompanied by restrictive covenants. If we do mortgage a property and there is a shortfall between the cash flow from that property and the cash flow needed to service mortgage debt on that property, then the amount of cash available for distributions to stockholders may be reduced. In addition, incurring mortgage debt increases the risk of loss of a property since defaults on indebtedness secured by a property may result in lenders initiating foreclosure actions. Additionally, we may give full or partial guarantees to lenders of mortgage debt on behalf of the entities that own our properties. When we give a guaranty on behalf of an entity that owns one of our properties, we will be responsible to the lender for satisfaction of the debt if it is not paid by such entity. If any mortgages contain cross-collateralization or cross-default provisions, a default on a single property could affect multiple properties.
We may also obtain recourse debt to finance our acquisitions and meet our REIT distribution requirements. If we have insufficient income to service our recourse debt obligations, our lenders could institute proceedings against us to foreclose upon our assets.
We may be adversely affected by changes in LIBOR reporting practices or the method in which LIBOR is determined.
LIBOR, the London Interbank Offered Rate, is the basic rate of interest used in lending transactions between banks on the London interbank market, and is widely used as a reference for setting the interest rate on loans globally. LIBOR and certain other interest “benchmarks” may be subject to regulatory guidance and/or reform that could cause interest rates under our current or future debt agreements to perform differently than in the past or cause other unanticipated consequences. The United Kingdom’s Financial Conduct Authority, which regulates LIBOR, has announced that it intends to stop encouraging or requiring banks to submit LIBOR rates after 2021, and it is unclear if LIBOR will cease to exist or if new methods of calculating LIBOR will evolve. If LIBOR ceases to exist or if the methods of calculating LIBOR change from their current form, interest rates and financing costs on our current or future indebtedness may be adversely affected.
Increases in interest rates could increase the amount of our loan payments and adversely affect our ability to pay distributions to our stockholders.
Interest we pay on our loan obligations reduces cash available for distributions. If we obtain variable rate loans, increases in interest rates would increase our interest costs, which would reduce our cash flows and our ability to pay distributions to stockholders. In addition, if we need to repay existing loans during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to liquidate one or more of our investments in properties at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.
If mortgage debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to finance the purchase of properties. If we place mortgage debt on properties, we run the risk of being unable to refinance the properties when the debt becomes due or of being unable to refinance on favorable terms. If interest rates are higher when we refinance the properties, our income could be reduced. We may be unable to refinance properties. If any of these events occurs, our cash flow would be reduced. This, in turn, would reduce cash available for distribution to stockholders and may hinder our ability to raise capital by issuing more stock or borrowing more money.
13
We may not be able to access financing or refinancing sources on attractive terms, which could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.
We may finance our assets over the long-term through a variety of means, including repurchase agreements, credit facilities, issuance of commercial mortgage-backed securities, collateralized debt obligations and other structured financings. Our ability to execute this strategy will depend on various conditions in the markets for financing in this manner that are beyond our control, including lack of liquidity and greater credit spreads. We cannot be certain that these markets will remain an efficient source of long-term financing for our assets. If our strategy is not viable, we will have to find alternative forms of long-term financing for our assets, as secured revolving credit facilities and repurchase facilities may not accommodate long-term financing. This could subject us to more recourse indebtedness and the risk that debt service on less efficient forms of financing would require a larger portion of our cash flows, thereby reducing cash available for distribution to our stockholders and funds available for operations as well as for future business opportunities.
Lenders may require us to enter into restrictive covenants relating to our operations, which could limit our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
When providing financing, a lender may impose restrictions on us that affect our distribution and operating policies and our ability to incur additional debt. Loan agreements into which we enter may contain covenants that limit our ability to further mortgage a property or discontinue insurance coverage. In addition, loan documents may limit our ability to replace a property’s property manager or terminate certain operating or lease agreements related to a property. These or other limitations would decrease our operating flexibility and our ability to achieve our operating objectives, which may adversely affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders.
We have substantial indebtedness and we may need to incur additional indebtedness in the future.
In connection with the Merger, we assumed and/or refinanced certain indebtedness of REIT II and we are subject to risks associated with debt financing, including a risk that our cash flow could be insufficient to meet required payments on our debt. On December 31, 2018, we had indebtedness of
$2.5 billion
, comprised of outstanding
$195.0 million
secured loan facilities,
$1.9 billion
unsecured debt, and
$334.7 million
mortgage loans and capital lease obligations.
In connection with executing our business strategies, we expect to evaluate the possibility of additional acquisitions and strategic investments, and we may elect to finance these endeavors by incurring additional indebtedness. The amount of such indebtedness could have material adverse consequences for the Company, including hindering our ability to adjust to changing market, industry or economic conditions; limiting our ability to access the capital markets to refinance maturing debt or to fund acquisitions or emerging businesses; requiring the use of a substantial portion of our cash flow from operations for the payment of principal and interest on our debt, thereby limiting the amount of free cash flow available for future operations, acquisitions, dividends, stock repurchases or other uses; making us more vulnerable to economic or industry downturns, including interest rate increases; and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to less leveraged competitors. If we default under a mortgage loan, we will automatically be in default under any other loan that has cross-default provisions and we may lose the properties securing these loans.
Risks Related to Organization and Qualification as a REIT
Our stockholders have limited control over changes in our policies and operations, which increases the uncertainty and risks our stockholders face.
Our Board determines our major policies, including our policies regarding financing, growth, debt capitalization, REIT qualification and distributions. Our Board may amend or revise these and other policies without a vote of the stockholders. Under the Maryland General Corporation Law and our charter, our stockholders have a right to vote only on limited matters. Our board’s broad discretion in setting policies and our stockholders’ inability to exert control over those policies increases the uncertainty and risks our stockholders face.
Although we have currently opted out of the protection of the Maryland General Corporation Law relating to deterring or defending hostile takeovers, the Board could elect to become subject to these provisions of Maryland law in the future, which may discourage others from trying to acquire control of us and may prevent our stockholders from receiving a premium price for their stock in connection with a business combination.
Under Maryland law, “business combinations” between a Maryland corporation and certain interested stockholders or affiliates of interested stockholders are prohibited for five years after the most recent date on which the interested stockholder becomes an interested stockholder. These business combinations include a merger, consolidation, share exchange, or, in circumstances specified in the statute, an asset transfer or issuance or reclassification of equity securities. Also under Maryland law, control shares of a Maryland corporation acquired in a control share acquisition have no voting rights except to the extent approved by stockholders by a vote of two-thirds of the votes entitled to be cast on the matter. These restrictions may have the effect of delaying, deferring, or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide our stockholders a premium price for their shares of common stock.
Our charter limits the number of shares a person may own, which may discourage a takeover that could otherwise result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Our charter, with certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to preserve our qualification as a REIT. To help us comply with the REIT ownership requirements of the Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”), among other purposes, our charter prohibits a person from directly or constructively owning more than 9.8% in value of our aggregate outstanding stock or more than 9.8% in value or number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our aggregate outstanding common stock, unless exempted by our Board. This restriction may have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control of us, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our common stock.
14
Our charter permits the Board to issue stock with terms that may subordinate the rights of our common stockholders or discourage a third party from acquiring us in a manner that could result in a premium price to our stockholders.
Our Board may classify or reclassify any unissued common stock or preferred stock and establish the preferences, conversion or other rights, voting powers, restrictions, limitations as to distributions, qualifications, and terms or conditions of redemption of any such stock. Thus, our Board could authorize the issuance of preferred stock with priority as to distributions and amounts payable upon liquidation over the rights of the holders of our common stock. Such preferred stock could also have the effect of delaying, deferring or preventing a change in control, including an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price to holders of our common stock.
Because Maryland law permits the Board to adopt certain anti-takeover measures without stockholder approval, investors may be less likely to receive a “control premium” for their shares.
In 1999, the State of Maryland enacted legislation that enhances the power of Maryland corporations to protect themselves from unsolicited takeovers. Among other things, the legislation permits our board, without stockholder approval, to amend our charter to:
|
•
|
stagger our Board into three classes;
|
|
•
|
require a two-thirds stockholder vote for removal of directors;
|
|
•
|
provide that only the Board can fix the size of the board;
|
|
•
|
require that special stockholder meetings may only be called by holders of a majority of the voting shares entitled to be cast at the meeting; and
|
|
•
|
provide the Board with the exclusive right to fill vacancies on the Board, with any individual elected to fill such a vacancy to serve for the full term of the directorship.
|
Under Maryland law, a corporation can opt to be governed by some or all of these provisions if it has a class of equity securities registered under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), and has at least three independent directors. Our charter does not prohibit our Board from opting into any of the above provisions permitted under Maryland law. Becoming governed by any of these provisions could discourage an extraordinary transaction (such as a merger, tender offer or sale of all or substantially all of our assets) that might provide a premium price for holders of our securities.
Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to recover claims against our officers and directors are limited, which could reduce our stockholders' and our recovery against them if they cause us to incur losses.
Maryland law provides that a director has no liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in the corporation's best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. Our charter, in the case of our directors and officers, requires us to indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law. Additionally, our charter limits the liability of our directors and officers for monetary damages to the maximum extent permitted under Maryland law. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors, officers, employees and agents, than might otherwise exist under common law, which could reduce our stockholders' and our recovery against them. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors, officers, employees and agents in some cases which would decrease the cash otherwise available for distribution to stockholders.
If the Operating Partnership fails to qualify as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to qualify as a REIT and suffer adverse consequences.
We believe that the Operating Partnership is organized and will be operated in a manner so as to be treated as a partnership, and not an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a partnership, the Operating Partnership will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its income. Instead, each of its partners, including us, will be allocated that partner’s share of the Operating Partnership’s income. No assurance can be provided, however, that the Internal Revenue Service will not challenge the Operating Partnership’s status as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes, or that a court would not sustain such a challenge. If the Internal Revenue Service were successful in treating the Operating Partnership as an association or publicly traded partnership taxable as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes, we would fail to meet the gross income tests and certain of the asset tests applicable to REITs and, accordingly, would cease to qualify as a REIT. Also, the failure of the Operating Partnership to qualify as a partnership would cause it to become subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax, which would reduce significantly the amount of its cash available for debt service and for distribution to its partners, including us.
The Operating Partnership has a carryover tax basis on certain of its assets as a result of the PELP transaction, and the amount that we have to distribute to stockholders therefore may be higher.
As a result of the PELP transaction, certain of the Operating Partnership’s properties have carryover tax bases that are lower than the fair market values of these properties at the time of the acquisition. As a result of this lower aggregate tax basis, the Operating Partnership will recognize higher taxable gain upon the sale of these assets, and the Operating Partnership will be entitled to lower depreciation deductions on these assets than if it had purchased these properties in taxable transactions at the time of the acquisition. Such lower depreciation deductions and increased gains on sales allocated to us generally will increase the amount of our required distribution under the REIT rules, and will decrease the portion of any distribution that otherwise would have been treated as a “return of capital” distribution.
15
We intend to use taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”), which may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.
To qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we hold, and plan to continue to hold, our non-qualifying REIT assets and conduct our non-qualifying REIT income activities in or through one or more TRS. A TRS is a corporation other than a REIT in which a REIT directly or indirectly holds stock, and that has made a joint election with such REIT to be treated as a TRS. A TRS also includes any corporation other than a REIT with respect to which a TRS owns securities possessing more than 35% of the total voting power or value of the outstanding securities of such corporation. Other than some activities relating to lodging and health care facilities, a TRS may generally engage in any business, including the provision of customary or non- customary services to tenants of its parent REIT. A TRS is subject to income tax as a regular C-corporation.
The net income of our TRS is not required to be distributed to us and income that is not distributed to us will generally not be subject to the REIT income distribution requirement. However, our TRS may pay dividends. Such dividend income should qualify under the 95%, but not the 75%, gross income test. We will monitor the amount of the dividend and other income from our TRS and will take actions intended to keep this income, and any other non-qualifying income, within the limitations of the REIT income tests. While we expect these actions will prevent a violation of the REIT income tests, we cannot guarantee that such actions will in all cases prevent such a violation.
Our ownership of TRS will be subject to limitations that could prevent us from growing our management business and our transactions with our TRS could cause us to be subject to a 100% penalty tax on certain income or deductions if those transactions are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis.
Overall, (i) for taxable years beginning prior to January 1, 2018, no more than 25% of the value of a REIT’s gross assets, and (ii) for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, no more than 20% of the value of a REIT’s gross assets may consist of interests in TRS; compliance with this limitation could limit our ability to grow our management business. The IRC also imposes a 100% excise tax on certain transactions between a TRS and its parent REIT that are not conducted on an arm’s-length basis. We will monitor the value of investments in our TRS in order to ensure compliance with TRS ownership limitations and will structure our transactions with our TRS on terms that we believe are arm’s-length to avoid incurring the 100% excise tax described above. There can be no assurance, however, that we will be able to comply with the TRS ownership limitation or be able to avoid application of the 100% excise tax.
REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plans, including because we may be required to borrow funds to make distributions to stockholders or otherwise depend on external sources of capital to fund such distributions.
We generally must distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain for this purpose) in order to continue to qualify as a REIT. To the extent that we satisfy the distribution requirement but distribute less than 100% of our taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on our undistributed taxable income. In addition, we may elect to retain and pay income tax on our net long-term capital gain. In that case, if we so elect, a stockholder would be taxed on its proportionate share of our undistributed long-term gain and would receive a credit or refund for its proportionate share of the tax we paid. A stockholder, including a tax-exempt or foreign stockholder, would have to file a federal income tax return to claim that credit or refund. Furthermore, we will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax if the actual amount that we distribute to our stockholders in a calendar year is less than a minimum amount specified under federal tax laws.
We intend to make distributions to our stockholders to comply with the REIT requirements of the IRC and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax. We may be required to make distributions to our stockholders at times when it would be more advantageous to reinvest cash in its business or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits.
If we do not have other funds available, we could be required to borrow funds on unfavorable terms, sell investments at disadvantageous prices or find another alternative source of funds to make distributions sufficient to enable us to distribute enough of our taxable income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce our equity.
Complying with REIT requirements may cause us to forego otherwise attractive opportunities or liquidate otherwise attractive investments.
To continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must continually satisfy tests concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, the nature and diversification of our assets, the amounts we distribute to stockholders and the ownership of our stock. As discussed above, we may be required to make distributions to you at disadvantageous times or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Additionally, we may be unable to pursue investments that would be otherwise attractive to us in order to satisfy the requirements for qualifying as a REIT.
We must also ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified real estate assets, including certain mortgage loans and mortgage-backed securities. The remainder of our investment in securities (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more than 10% of the outstanding voting securities of any one issuer or more than 10% of the total value of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets can consist of the securities of any one issuer (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) and no more than 20% of the value of our gross assets may be represented by securities of one or more TRS. Finally, no more than 25% of our assets may consist of debt investments that are issued by “publicly offered REITs” and would not otherwise be treated as qualifying real estate assets. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct such failure within 30 days after the end of the calendar quarter to avoid losing our REIT status and suffering adverse tax consequences, unless certain relief provisions apply. As a result, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of profit maximization and may require us to liquidate investments from our portfolio, or refrain from making otherwise attractive investments. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to stockholders.
16
The prohibited transactions tax may limit our ability to engage in transactions, including disposition of assets, which would be treated as sales for federal income tax purposes.
A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are sales or other dispositions of dealer property, other than foreclosure property. We may be subject to the prohibited transaction tax upon a disposition of real property. Although a safe-harbor exception to prohibited transaction treatment is available, we cannot assure you that we can comply with such safe harbor or that we will avoid owning property that may be characterized as held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of our trade or business. Consequently, we may choose not to engage in certain sales of real property or may conduct such sales through a TRS.
It may be possible to reduce the impact of the prohibited transaction tax by conducting certain activities through a TRS. However, to the extent that we engage in such activities through a TRS, the income associated with such activities will be subject to a corporate income tax. In addition, the IRS may attempt to ignore or otherwise recast such activities in order to impose a prohibited transaction tax on us, and there can be no assurance that such recast will not be successful.
We may recognize substantial amounts of REIT taxable income, which we would be required to distribute to our stockholders, in a year in which we are not profitable under GAAP principles or other economic measures.
We may recognize substantial amounts of REIT taxable income in years in which we are not profitable under GAAP or other economic measures as a result of the differences between GAAP and tax accounting methods. For instance, certain of our assets will be marked-to-market for GAAP purposes but not for tax purposes, which could result in losses for GAAP purposes that are not recognized in computing our REIT taxable income. Additionally, we may deduct our capital losses only to the extent of our capital gains in computing our REIT taxable income for a given taxable year. Consequently, we could recognize substantial amounts of REIT taxable income and would be required to distribute such income to you in a year in which we are not profitable under GAAP or other economic measures.
Our qualification as a REIT could be jeopardized as a result of an interest in joint ventures or investment funds.
We may hold certain limited partner or non-managing member interests in partnerships or limited liability companies that are joint ventures or investment funds. If a partnership or limited liability company in which we own an interest takes or expects to take actions that could jeopardize our qualification as a REIT or require us to pay tax, we may be forced to dispose of our interest in such entity. In addition, it is possible that a partnership or limited liability company could take an action which could cause us to fail a REIT gross income or asset test, and that we would not become aware of such action in time to dispose of our interest in the partnership or limited liability company or take other corrective action on a timely basis. In that case, we could fail to continue to qualify as a REIT unless we are able to qualify for a statutory REIT “savings” provision, which may require us to pay a significant penalty tax to maintain our REIT qualification.
Distributions paid by REITs do not qualify for the reduced tax rates that apply to other corporate distributions.
The maximum tax rate for “qualified dividends” paid by corporations to non-corporate stockholders is currently 20%. Distributions paid by REITs to non-corporate stockholders generally are taxed at rates lower than ordinary income rates, but those rates are higher than the 20% tax rate on qualified dividend income paid by corporations. Although this does not adversely affect the taxation of REITs or dividends payable by REITs, to the extent that the preferential rates continue to apply to regular corporate qualified dividends, the more favorable rates for corporate dividends may cause non-corporate investors to perceive that an investment in a REIT is less attractive than an investment in a non-REIT entity that pays dividends, thereby reducing the demand and market price of shares of our common stock.
Legislative or regulatory tax changes could adversely affect us or our stockholders.
At any time, the federal income tax laws or regulations governing REITs or the administrative interpretations of those laws or regulations may be amended. We cannot predict when or if any new federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, or any amendment to any existing federal income tax law, regulation or administrative interpretation, will be adopted, promulgated or become effective and any such law, regulation or interpretation may take effect retroactively. Any such change could result in an increase in our, or our stockholders’, tax liability or require changes in the manner in which we operate in order to minimize increases in our tax liability. A shortfall in tax revenues for states and municipalities in which we operate may lead to an increase in the frequency and size of such changes. If such changes occur, we may be required to pay additional taxes on our assets or income or be subject to additional restrictions. These increased tax costs could, among other things, adversely affect our financial condition, the results of operations and the amount of cash available for the payment of dividends. We and our stockholders could be adversely affected by any such change in, or any new, federal income tax law, regulation, or administrative interpretation.
On December 22, 2017, H.R. 1, known as the “Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (the “TCJA”), was enacted into law. The provisions of the TCJA generally apply to taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017. Significant provisions of the TCJA that investors should be aware of include provisions that: (i) permanently eliminate the progressive corporate tax rate structure with a maximum corporate tax rate of 35%, and replace it with a flat corporate tax rate of 21%; (ii) provide noncorporate taxpayers with a deduction of up to 20% of certain income earned through relevant passthrough entities and REITs for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017 and before January 1, 2026; (iii) generally limit the net operating loss deduction to 80% of taxable income for taxable years beginning after December 31, 2017, where taxable income is determined without regard to the net operating loss deduction itself; (iv) generally eliminate net operating loss carrybacks generated in taxable years after December 31, 2017 (for net operating losses generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017, the losses may be carried forward indefinitely); (v) allow unused net operating losses to be carried forward indefinitely, for net operating losses generated in tax years beginning after December 31, 2017; (vi) expand the ability of businesses to deduct the cost of certain property investments in the year in which the property is purchased; (vii) eliminate the corporate alternative minimum tax; and (viii) generally temporarily lower tax rates for individuals and other noncorporate taxpayers, while limiting deductions such as miscellaneous itemized deductions and state and local tax deductions, and limiting the deduction for net interest expense incurred by a business to 30% of the “adjusted taxable income” of the taxpayer. However, the limitation on the interest expense deduction does not apply to certain small-business taxpayers or electing real property trades or businesses,
17
such as any real property development, redevelopment, construction, reconstruction, acquisition, conversion, rental, operation, management, leasing, or brokerage trade or business. Making the election to be treated as a real property trade or business requires the electing real property trade or business to depreciate non-residential real property, residential rental property, and qualified improvement property over a longer period using the alternative depreciation system. We believe that we will be eligible to make this election. If we make this election, although we would not be subject to the interest expense limitation described above, our depreciation deductions may be reduced and, as a result, our REIT taxable income for a taxable year may be increased.
Our stockholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisors with respect to the impact that the TCJA and other legislation may have on their investment and the status of legislative, regulatory or administrative developments and proposals and their potential effect on their investment in shares of our common stock.
If the fiduciary of an employee benefit plan subject to ERISA (such as a profit sharing, Section 401(k) or pension plan) or an owner of a retirement arrangement subject to Section 4975 of the IRC (such as an individual retirement account (“IRA”)) fails to meet the fiduciary and other standards under ERISA or the IRC as a result of an investment in our stock, the fiduciary could be subject to penalties and other sanctions.
There are special considerations that apply to employee benefit plans subject to ERISA (such as profit sharing, Section 401(k) or pension plans) and other retirement plans or accounts subject to Section 4975 of the IRC (such as an IRA) that are investing in shares of our common stock. Fiduciaries and IRA owners investing the assets of such a plan or account in our common stock should satisfy themselves that:
|
•
|
the investment is consistent with their fiduciary and other obligations under ERISA and the IRC;
|
|
•
|
the investment is made in accordance with the documents and instruments governing the plan or IRA, including the plan’s or account’s investment policy;
|
|
•
|
the investment satisfies the prudence and diversification requirements of Sections 404(a)(1)(B) and 404(a)(1)(C) of ERISA and other applicable provisions of ERISA and the IRC;
|
|
•
|
the investment in our shares, for which no public market currently exists, is consistent with the liquidity needs of the plan or IRA;
|
|
•
|
the investment will not produce an unacceptable amount of “unrelated business taxable income” for the plan or IRA;
|
|
•
|
our stockholders will be able to comply with the requirements under ERISA and the IRC to value the assets of the plan or IRA annually; and
|
|
•
|
the investment will not constitute a prohibited transaction under Section 406 of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRC.
|
Failure to satisfy the fiduciary standards of conduct and other applicable requirements of ERISA and the IRC may result in the imposition of civil and criminal penalties and could subject the fiduciary to claims for damages or for equitable remedies, including liability for investment losses. In addition, if an investment in our shares constitutes a prohibited transaction under ERISA or the IRC, the fiduciary or IRA owner who authorized or directed the investment may be subject to the imposition of excise taxes with respect to the amount invested. In addition, the investment transaction must be undone. In the case of a prohibited transaction involving an IRA owner, the IRA may be disqualified as a tax-exempt account and all of the assets of the IRA may be deemed distributed and subjected to tax. ERISA plan fiduciaries and IRA owners should consult with counsel before making an investment in our common stock.
If our assets are deemed to be plan assets, we may be exposed to liabilities under Title I of ERISA and the IRC.
In some circumstances where an ERISA plan holds an interest in an entity, the assets of the entity are deemed to be ERISA plan assets unless an exception applies. This is known as the “look-through rule.” Under those circumstances, the obligations and other responsibilities of plan sponsors, plan fiduciaries and plan administrators, and of parties in interest and disqualified persons, under Title I of ERISA or Section 4975 of the IRC, may be applicable, and there may be liability under these and other provisions of ERISA and the IRC. We believe that our assets should not be treated as plan assets because the shares of our common stock should qualify as “publicly-offered securities” that are exempt from the look-through rules under applicable Treasury Regulations. We note, however, that because certain limitations are imposed upon the transferability of shares of our common stock so that we may qualify as a REIT, and perhaps for other reasons, it is possible that this exemption may not apply. If that is the case, and if we are exposed to liability under ERISA or the IRC, our performance and results of operations could be adversely affected.
If stockholders invested in our shares through an IRA or other retirement plan, they may be limited in their ability to withdraw required minimum distributions.
If stockholders established an IRA or other retirement plan through which they invested in our shares, federal law may require them to withdraw required minimum distributions (“RMDs”) from such plan in the future. Our SRP limits the amount of repurchases (other than those repurchases as a result of a stockholder’s death or disability) that can be made in a given year. Additionally, our stockholders will not be eligible to have their shares repurchased until they have held their shares for at least one year. As a result, they may not be able to have their shares repurchased at a time in which they need liquidity to satisfy the RMD requirements under their IRA or other retirement plan. Even if they are able to have their shares repurchased, our share repurchase price is based on the EVPS of our common stock as determined by our Board, and this value is expected to fluctuate over time. As such, a repurchase may be at a price that is less than the price at which the shares were initially purchased. If stockholders fail to withdraw RMDs from their IRA or other retirement plan, they may be subject to certain tax penalties.

Lease Expirations
—The following chart shows, on an aggregate basis, all of the scheduled lease expirations after
December 31, 2018
, for each of the next ten years and thereafter for our
303
wholly-owned shopping centers and the prorated portion of those owned through our joint ventures. The chart shows the leased square feet and ABR represented by the applicable lease expiration year:
For the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2017
:
For the years ended
December 31, 2018
and

:
|
•
|
New leases accounted for approximately
0.7 million
total square feet of GLA with ABR of
$15.53
, and approximately
0.5 million
total square feet of GLA with ABR of
$14.81
, respectively; and
|
|
•
|
Renewals accounted for approximately
2.8 million
total square feet with ABR of
$12.40
, and approximately
2.0 million
total square feet with ABR of
$12.75
, respectively.
|
During the year ended
December 31, 2018
, rent per square foot for renewed leases increased
6.6%
when compared to rent per square foot prior to renewal. Our leased occupancy decreased
0.93%
during the year ended
December 31, 2018
, and decreased
1.68%
during the year ended
December 31, 2017
.
Subsequent to
December 31, 2018
, we renewed approximately
0.4 million
total square feet and
$6.6 million
of total ABR of the expiring leases, inclusive of our pro rata share related to our joint ventures.
See Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Results of Operations - Leasing Activity, for further discussion of leasing activity. Based on current market base rental rates, we believe we will achieve an overall positive increase in our average ABR for expiring leases. However, changes in base rental income associated with individual signed leases on comparable spaces may be positive or negative, and we can provide no assurance that the base rents on new leases will continue to increase from current levels.

Portfolio Tenancy
—Prior to the acquisition of a property, we assess the suitability of the grocery-anchor tenant and other tenants in light of our investment objectives, namely, preserving capital and providing stable cash flows for distributions. Generally, we assess the strength of the tenant by consideration of company factors, such as its financial strength and market share in the geographic area of the shopping center, as well as location-specific factors, such as the store’s sales, local competition, and demographics. When assessing the tenancy of the non-anchor space at the shopping center, we consider the tenant mix at each shopping center in light of our portfolio, the proportion of national and national-franchise tenants, the creditworthiness of specific tenants, and the timing of lease expirations. When evaluating non-national tenancy, we attempt to obtain credit enhancements to leases, which typically come in the form of deposits and/or guarantees from one or more individuals.
We define national tenants as those tenants that operate in at least three states. Regional tenants are defined as those tenants that have at least three locations. The following charts present the composition of our portfolio, including our wholly-owned properties and the prorated portion of those owned through our joint ventures, by tenant type as of
December 31, 2018

ITEM 5. MARKET FOR REGISTRANT’S COMMON EQUITY, RELATED STOCKHOLDER MATTERS, AND ISSUER PURCHASES OF EQUITY SECURITIES
Market Information
As of
March 1, 2019
, we had approximately
281.8 million
shares of common stock outstanding, held by a total of
63,703
stockholders of record. The number of stockholders is based on the records of our registrar and transfer agent. Our common stock is not currently traded on any exchange, and there is no established trading market for our common stock. Therefore, there is a risk that a stockholder may not be able to sell our stock at a time or price acceptable to the stockholder, or at all.
Valuation Overview
On May 9, 2018, the independent directors of our Board established an estimated value per share (“EVPS”) of our common stock of $11.05. The valuation was based substantially on the estimated market value of our portfolio of real estate properties in various geographic locations in the United States (“Portfolio”) and our third-party asset management business as of March 31, 2018.
We provided the EVPS to assist broker-dealers that participated in our public offering in meeting their customer account
22
statement reporting obligations under National Association of Securities Dealers Conduct Rule 2340 as required by the FINRA. This valuation was performed in accordance with the provisions of the IPA Valuation Guidelines.
We engaged Duff & Phelps, an independent valuation expert which has expertise in appraising commercial real estate assets, to provide a calculation of the range in EVPS of our common stock as of March 31, 2018. Duff & Phelps prepared a valuation report (“Valuation Report”) that provided this range based substantially on its estimate of the “as is” market value of the Portfolio and the estimated value of in-place contracts of the third-party asset management business. Duff & Phelps made adjustments to the aggregate estimated value of our Portfolio to reflect balance sheet assets and liabilities provided by our management as of March 31, 2018, before calculating a range of estimated values based on the number of outstanding shares of our common stock as of March 31, 2018. These calculations produced an EVPS in the range of $10.35 to $11.75 as of March 31, 2018. The Independent Directors ultimately increased the EVPS of our common stock to
$11.05
on May 9, 2018. We previously established an EVPS on November 8, 2017, of $11.00 based substantially on the estimated market value of our Portfolio of real estate properties and our third-party asset management business as of October 5, 2017. We expect to update this valuation as of March 31, 2019.
The following table summarizes the material components of the EVPS of our common stock as of March 31, 2018 (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Our goal is to provide an estimate of the market value of our shares. However, the majority of our assets will consist of commercial real estate and, as with any valuation methodology, the methodologies used were based upon a number of assumptions and estimates that may not have been accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could have derived a different EVPS, and those differences could have been significant. These limitations are discussed further under “Limitations of Estimated Value per Share” below.
Valuation Methodologies
—Our goal in calculating an EVPS was to arrive at a value that was reasonable and based off of what we deemed to be appropriate valuation and appraisal methodologies and assumptions and a process that was in accordance with the IPA Valuation Guidelines. The following is a summary of the valuation methodologies and components used to calculate the EVPS.
Independent Valuation Firm
—Duff & Phelps was retained by us on March 8, 2018, as authorized by the independent directors of the Board, to provide independent valuation services. Duff & Phelps, who is not affiliated with us, is a leading global valuation advisor with expertise in complex valuation work. Duff & Phelps had previously provided services to us pertaining to the allocation of acquisition purchase prices for financial reporting purposes in connection with the Portfolio, for which it received usual and customary compensation. Duff & Phelps may be engaged to provide professional services to us in the future. The Duff & Phelps personnel who prepared the valuation had no present or prospective interest in the Portfolio and no personal interest with us.
Duff & Phelps’ engagement for its valuation services was not contingent upon developing or reporting predetermined results. In addition, Duff & Phelps’ compensation for completing the valuation services was not contingent upon the development or reporting of a predetermined value or direction in value that favors the cause of us, the amount of the value opinion, the attainment of a stipulated result, or the occurrence of a subsequent event directly related to the intended use of its Valuation
23
Report. We agreed to indemnify Duff & Phelps against certain liabilities arising out of this engagement.
Duff & Phelps’ analyses, opinions, or conclusions were developed, and the Valuation Report was prepared, in conformity with the Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice. The Valuation Report was reviewed, approved and signed by individuals with the professional designation of MAI (Member of the Appraisal Institute). The use of the Valuation Report is subject to the requirements of the Appraisal Institute relating to review by its duly authorized representatives. Duff & Phelps did not inspect the properties that formed the Portfolio.
In preparing the Valuation Report, Duff & Phelps relied on information provided by us regarding the Portfolio. For example, we provided information regarding building size, year of construction, land size and other physical, financial, and economic characteristics. We also provided lease information, such as current rent amounts, rent commencement and expiration dates, and rent increase amounts and dates.
Duff & Phelps did not investigate the legal description or legal matters relating to the Portfolio, including title or encumbrances, and title to the properties was assumed to be good and marketable. The Portfolio was also assumed to be free and clear of liens, easements, encroachments and other encumbrances, and to be in full compliance with zoning, use, occupancy, environmental and similar laws unless otherwise stated by us. The Valuation Report contains other assumptions, qualifications and limitations that qualify the analysis, opinions and conclusions set forth therein. Furthermore, the prices at which our real estate properties may actually be sold could differ from their appraised values.
The foregoing is a summary of the standard assumptions, qualifications and limitations that generally apply to the Valuation Report.
Real Estate Portfolio Valuation
—Duff & Phelps estimated the “as is” market values of the Portfolio as of March 31, 2018, using various methodologies. Generally accepted valuation practice suggests assets may be valued using a range of methodologies. Duff & Phelps utilized the income capitalization approach with support from the sales comparison approach for each property. The income approach was the primary indicator of value, with secondary consideration given to the sales approach. Duff & Phelps performed a study of each market to measure current market conditions, supply and demand factors, growth patterns, and their effect on each of the subject properties.
The income capitalization approach simulates the reasoning of an investor who views the cash flows that would result from the anticipated revenue and expense on a property throughout its lifetime. Under the income capitalization approach, Duff & Phelps used an estimated net operating income (“NOI”) for each property, and then converted it to a value indication using a discounted cash flow analysis. The discounted cash flow analysis focuses on the operating cash flows expected from a property and the anticipated proceeds of a hypothetical sale at the end of an assumed holding period, with these amounts then being discounted to their present value. The discounted cash flow method is appropriate for the analysis of investment properties with multiple leases, particularly leases with cancellation clauses or renewal options, and especially in volatile markets.
The sales comparison approach estimates value based on what other purchasers and sellers in the market have agreed to as a price for comparable improved properties. This approach is based upon the principle of substitution, which states that the limits of prices, rents and rates tend to be set by the prevailing prices, rents and rates of equally desirable substitutes. Duff & Phelps gathered comparable sales data throughout various markets as secondary support for its valuation estimate.
The following summarizes the range of capitalization rates that were used to arrive at the estimated market values of our Portfolio:
|

|
|
|
Overall Capitalization Rate
|
6.66% - 7.20%
|
|
Terminal Capitalization Rate
|
6.92% - 7.42%
|
|
Discount Rate
|
7.51% - 8.01%
|
Management Company Valuation
—Duff & Phelps estimated the aggregate market value associated with our third-party asset management business using various methodologies. Duff & Phelps considered various applications of the income approach, market approach, and underlying assets approach, with the income approach determined to be the most reliable method for purposes of the analysis. The income approach analysis considered the projected fee income earned for services provided pursuant to various management and advisory agreements over the expected duration of that contract, assuming normal and customary renewal provisions. Such services include property management services performed for the properties in the Portfolio, as well as property and asset management services for certain unaffiliated real estate investment portfolios. In performing this analysis, fee income related to properties owned or managed as of March 31, 2018, was considered. The income approach also considered a reasonable level of expenses to support such activities, as well as other adjustments, and a discount rate that accounted for the time value of money and the risk of achieving the projected cash flows. The result of the income approach analysis was the aggregate market value of the third-party asset management business, from which an estimated market value of net tangible assets (liabilities) was subtracted (added) to result in the aggregate intangible value of the management company.
Sensitivity Analysis
—While we believe that Duff & Phelps’ assumptions and inputs were reasonable, a change in these assumptions would have impacted the calculations of the estimated value of the Portfolio, the estimated value of our third-party asset management business, and our EVPS. The table below illustrates the impact on Duff & Phelps’ range in EVPS if the terminal capitalization rates or discount rates were adjusted by 25 basis points and assumes all other factors remain unchanged. Additionally, the table illustrates the impact if only one change in assumptions was made, with all other factors held constant. Further, each of these assumptions could change by more than 25 basis points or 5%.

Other Assets and Other Liabilities
—Duff & Phelps made adjustments to the aggregate estimated values of our investments to reflect our other assets and other liabilities based on balance sheet information provided by us as of March 31, 2018.
Role of the Independent Directors
—The independent directors received a copy of the Valuation Report and discussed the report with representatives of Duff & Phelps. The independent directors also discussed the Valuation Report, the Portfolio, the third-party asset management business, our other assets and liabilities, and other matters with management. Management recommended to the independent directors that $11.05 per share be approved as the EVPS of our common stock. The independent directors discussed the rationale for this value with management.
Following the independent directors’ receipt and review of the Valuation Report and the recommendation of management, and in light of other factors considered by the independent directors, the independent directors concluded that the range in EVPS of $10.35 and $11.75 was appropriate. Our independent directors agreed to accept the recommendation of management and approved $11.05 as the EVPS of our common stock as of March 31, 2018, which determination was ultimately and solely the responsibility of the independent directors.
Limitations of Estimated Value per Share
—We provided this EVPS to assist broker-dealers that participated in our public offering in meeting our customer account statement reporting obligations. This valuation was performed in accordance with the provisions of the IPA Valuation Guidelines. As with any valuation methodology, the methodologies used were based upon a number of estimates and assumptions that may not have been accurate or complete. Different parties with different assumptions and estimates could have derived a different EVPS, and this difference could have been significant. The EVPS is not audited and does not represent a determination of the fair value of our assets or liabilities based on accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), nor does it represent a liquidation value of our assets and liabilities or the amount at which our shares of common stock would trade on a national securities exchange.
Accordingly, with respect to the EVPS, we can give no assurance that:
|
•
|
a stockholder would be able to resell his or her shares at the EVPS;
|
|
•
|
a stockholder would ultimately realize distributions per share equal to our EVPS upon liquidation of our assets and settlement of our liabilities or a sale of us;
|
|
•
|
our shares of common stock would trade at the EVPS on a national securities exchange;
|
|
•
|
a third party would offer the EVPS in an arm’s-length transaction to purchase all or substantially all of our shares of common stock;
|
|
•
|
another independent third-party appraiser or third-party valuation firm would agree with our EVPS; or
|
|
•
|
the methodologies used to calculate our EVPS would be acceptable to FINRA or for compliance with ERISA reporting requirements.
|
Further, we have not made any adjustments to the valuation of our EVPS for the impact of other transactions occurring subsequent to May 9, 2018, including, but not limited to, (i) our merger with Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT II, Inc. (“REIT II”), a public non-traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that was formerly advised and managed by us, in November 2018 (the “Merger”); (ii) the formation of the Grocery Retail Partners I LLC joint venture (“GRP I” or the “GRP I joint venture”) in November 2018; (iii) acquisitions or dispositions of assets; (
iv
) the issuance of common stock under the dividend reinvestment plan (“DRIP”); (v) NOI earned and dividends declared; (vi) the repurchase of shares; and (vii) changes in leases, tenancy or other business or operational changes. The value of our shares of common stock will fluctuate over time in response to developments related to individual real estate assets, the management of those assets, and changes in the real estate and finance markets. Because of, among other factors, the high concentration of our total assets in real estate and the number of shares of our common stock outstanding, changes in the value of individual real estate assets or changes in valuation assumptions could have a very significant impact on the value of our shares of common stock. The EVPS does not take into account any disposition costs or fees for real estate properties, debt prepayment penalties that could apply upon the prepayment of certain of our debt obligations, or the impact of restrictions on the assumption of debt. Accordingly, the EVPS of our common stock may or may not be an accurate reflection of the fair market value of our stockholders’ investments and will not likely represent the amount of net proceeds that would result from an immediate sale of our assets.
Amended and Restated DRIP
—We have adopted the DRIP, through which stockholders may elect to reinvest an amount equal to the distributions declared on their shares of common stock into additional shares of our common stock in lieu of receiving cash distributions. In accordance with the DRIP, participants acquire shares of common stock at a price equal to the estimated value per share. Participants in the DRIP may purchase fractional shares so that 100% of the distributions may be used to acquire additional shares of our common stock. For the year ended
December 31, 2018
,
4.0 million
shares were issued through the DRIP, resulting in proceeds of approximately
$44.1 million
. For the year ended
December 31, 2017
,
4.8 million
shares were issued through the DRIP, resulting in proceeds of approximately
$49.1 million
.
Distributions
—We elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2010. As a REIT, we have made, and intend to continue to make, distributions each taxable year equal to at least 90% of our taxable income (excluding capital gains and computing without regard to the dividends paid deduction).
25
Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities
—During
2018
, we did not sell any equity securities that were not registered under the Securities Act.
Share Repurchases
—Our Share Repurchase Program (“SRP”) provides a limited opportunity for stockholders to have shares of common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations that are discussed below:
|
•
|
During any calendar year, we may repurchase no more than 5% of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year.
|
|
•
|
We have no obligation to repurchase shares if the repurchase would violate the restrictions on distributions under Maryland law, which prohibits distributions that would cause a corporation to fail to meet statutory tests of solvency.
|
|
•
|
The cash available for repurchases, of which we may use all or a portion, on any particular date will generally be limited to the proceeds from the DRIP during the preceding four fiscal quarters, less any cash already used for repurchases since the beginning of the same period; however, subject to the limitations described above, we may use other sources of cash at the discretion of the Board. The availability of DRIP proceeds is not a minimum repurchase requirement and we may use all or no portion. The limitations described above do not apply to shares repurchased due to a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability,” or “determination of incompetence.”
|
|
•
|
Only those stockholders who purchased their shares from us or received their shares from us (directly or indirectly) through one or more non-cash transactions may be able to participate in the SRP. In other words, once our shares are transferred for value by a stockholder, the transferee and all subsequent holders of the shares are not eligible to participate in the SRP.
|
|
•
|
The Board reserves the right, in its sole discretion, at any time and from time to time, to reject any request for repurchase.
|
The repurchase price per share for all stockholders is equal to the estimated value per share. Repurchases of shares of common stock may be made monthly upon written notice received by us at least five days prior to the end of the applicable month, assuming no limitations, as noted above, exist. Stockholders may withdraw their repurchase request at any time up to five business days prior to the repurchase date. Unfulfilled repurchase requests are treated as requests for repurchase during future months until satisfied or withdrawn.
In 2018 and 2017, repurchase requests surpassed the funding limits under the SRP. Due to the program’s funding limits, no funds were available for repurchases outside of death, “qualifying disability,” or “determination of incompetence” during the fourth quarter of 2018 and no funds will be available for the first quarter of 2019. All standard repurchase requests must be on file and in good order to be included for the next standard repurchase, which is expected to be in July 2019. At that time, should the demand for standard repurchases exceed the funding available for repurchases, of which the Company may use all or a portion, we expect to make pro-rata redemptions.
As of
December 31, 2018
, we had
2.4 million
shares subject to unfulfilled repurchase requests.
Our Board may amend, suspend, or terminate the program upon 30 days’ notice. We may provide notice by including such information (a) in a current report on Form 8-K or in our annual or quarterly reports, all publicly filed with the SEC, or (b) in a separate mailing to the stockholders. In connection with the Merger, the SRP was temporarily suspended for the month of July 2018 and resumed in August 2018 (see Note
13
).

We announced the commencement of the SRP on August 12, 2010, and it was subsequently amended on September 29, 2011, and on April 14, 2016. All of the shares we purchased in the year ended
December 31, 2018
were pursuant to the SRP.

We currently limit the dollar value and number of shares that may yet be repurchased under the SRP, as described above.

On
November 16, 2018
, we completed the Merger in a 100% stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately
$1.9 billion
. In connection with the Merger, the combined company reset its share repurchase queue and all SRP requests on file as of the Merger closing date were canceled. All stockholders were required to submit a new SRP form to the transfer agent, DST, in order to participate in the SRP after the Merger and to be included in our next standard repurchase. All standard repurchase requests must be on file and in good order to be included for our next standard repurchase, which is expected to be in July 2019. At that time, should the demand for standard redemptions exceed the funding available for repurchases, of which the Company may use all or a portion, we expect to make pro-rata redemptions. Following that standard repurchase, standard
26
repurchase requests that are on file with us and in good order that have not been fully executed (due to pro-rata redemptions) will remain on file for future redemptions.

ITEM 7. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
The following discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with our accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. See also “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” preceding Part I.
Overview
We are one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of grocery-anchored shopping centers. The majority of our revenues are lease revenues derived from our real estate investments. Additionally, we operate an investment management business providing property management and advisory services to approximately
$680 million
of third-party assets. This business provides comprehensive real estate and asset management services to (i) Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT III, Inc. (“PECO III”), a non-traded publicly registered REIT; (ii) three institutional joint ventures, and (iii) one private fund (“Managed Funds”).

Leasing Activity
—The average rent per square foot and cost of executing leases fluctuates based on the tenant mix, size of the leased space, and lease term. Leases with national and regional tenants generally require a higher cost per square foot than those with local tenants. However, generally such tenants will also pay for a longer term.
Below is a summary of leasing activity for the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2017

Leasing activity in 2018 only reflects activity for the REIT II properties from the date they were acquired,
November 16, 2018
.

The cost of executing new leases, renewals, and options includes leasing commissions, tenant improvement costs, landlord work, and tenant concessions. The costs associated with landlord work are excluded for repositioning and redevelopment projects, if any.
|
|
(6)
|
A comparable lease is a lease that is executed for the exact same space (location and square feet) in which a tenant was previously located. For a lease to be considered comparable, it must have been executed within 365 days from the earlier of legal possession or the day the prior tenant physically vacated the space.
|
|
(7)
|
The comparable rent spread compares the first year ABR of a new lease over the last year ABR of the prior lease of a unit that was occupied within the past twelve months.
|
|
(8)
|
The portfolio retention rate is calculated by dividing (a) total square feet of retained tenants with current period lease expirations by (b) the square feet of leases expiring during the period.
|
Results of Operations
Due to the timing of the closing of the Merger and the PELP transaction, there is no financial data related to the properties and investment management business acquired in those transactions included in our results of operations prior to their closings on
November 16, 2018
and
October 4, 2017
, respectively. Therefore, the results of those properties and entities prior to those dates are not comparable to previous periods.

Total Revenues
|
•
|
$91.0 million
was related to the acquisition of properties from the PELP transaction, of which
$27.1 million
is attributed to the third-party management business and captive insurance company.
|
|
•
|
$18.4 million
was related to the Merger, which includes $20.7 million related to the 86 properties acquired, which is partially offset by a reduction of $2.3 million in management fee revenue previously received from the acquired properties.
|
|
•
|
$3.0 million
was related to the properties acquired before January 1, 2017, outside of the PELP transaction and the Merger (“same-center portfolio”). The increase was driven by a
$0.19
increase in rental rate, which is a combination of renewals of expiring leases and positive new leasing spreads.
|
|
•
|
$6.1 million
was the net impact of property activity since January 1, 2017, which are assets not included in the same-center portfolio. This includes 13 properties acquired and 9 properties disposed of during the period. Also included are the 17 properties contributed or sold to GRP I, as well as the acquired PELP properties during the comparable periods presented.
|
Vesting of Class B Units
|
•
|
The
$24.0 million
expense in 2017 resulted from the PELP transaction and was a combination of the vesting of 2.8 million Class B units as well as the reclassification of previous distributions on those Class B units to noncontrolling interests. The vesting of the Class B units was a non-cash expense of $27.6 million for asset management services rendered between December 2014 and September 2017. Distributions paid on these units totaled $3.6 million over this time period and were reclassified from the 2017 consolidated statement of operations and reflected as distributions from equity.
|
Termination of Affiliate Arrangements
|
•
|
The
$5.5 million
of expense in 2017 was related to the redemption of unvested Class B units at the estimated value per share on the date of termination that had been earned by our former advisor for historical asset management services (see Note
13
).
|
Depreciation and Amortization
|
•
|
The
$60.6 million
increase in depreciation and amortization included a $50.8 million increase related to the total fair value of the 76 properties and the management contracts acquired in the PELP transaction.
|
|
•
|
The increase also included $10.0 million of expense related to the total base value of 86 properties acquired in the Merger.
|
|
•
|
The increase also included a $1.8 million net increase related to property acquired in the PELP transaction, as well as 13 properties acquired outside of the PELP transaction since January 1, 2017, offset by the 17 properties contributed or sold to GRP I, as well as nine properties sold outside of GRP I since January 1, 2017.
|
|
•
|
These amounts were offset by a $2.0 million decrease attributed to certain intangible lease assets becoming fully amortized on our same-center portfolio.
|
Impairment of Real Estate Assets
|
•
|
During the year ended
December 31, 2018
, we recognized impairment charges totaling
$40.8 million
associated with eleven properties where the book value exceeded the estimated fair value, of which two properties were sold and nine properties were determined to be impaired based upon operational factors during the year ended
December 31, 2018
. See Note
18
for more details.
|
Interest Expense, Net
•
The
$27.0 million
increase was related to
$464.5 million
of debt assumed and new debt entered into in connection with the Merger. Interest expense, net was comprised of the following for the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2017
(dollars in thousands):

|
•
|
The
$107.5 million
increase was related to the sale or contribution of 25 properties during the year ended
December 31, 2018
(see Notes
5
and
6
), as compared to the sale of one property during the year ended
December 31, 2017
.
|
31
Transaction Expenses
|
•
|
Transaction expenses include third-party professional fees, such as financial advisory, consulting, accounting, legal, and tax fees necessary to complete such transactions. The
$12.4 million
decrease in transaction expenses was primarily driven by the business combination treatment of the PELP transaction (see Note
4
) and related costs of
$15.7 million
incurred in
2017
, as compared to the asset acquisition treatment related to the Merger (see Note
3
) in
2018
which allowed for the capitalization of transaction expenses.
|
|
•
|
This decrease is offset by non-capitalizable costs incurred in 2018 of $1.8 million related to the formation of the GRP I joint venture, $0.8 million related to the Merger, and $0.7 million related to other property acquisitions (see Notes
3
and
6
).
|
Other (Expense) Income, Net
|
•
|
The
$2.4 million
change was partially due to a $1.5 million expense to increase the fair value of our earn-out liability in 2018 (see Note
18
).
|
|
•
|
The change also included a $0.5 million reduction in gains recognized from the sale of land.

properties acquired after December 31, 2015, exclusive of the PELP transaction, net of two properties disposed of during each reporting period.
|
|
•
|
$3.2 million
was related to the properties acquired before January 1, 2016, outside of the PELP transaction (“same-center portfolio”). The increase was driven by a
$0.23
increase in minimum rent per square foot and a
0.9%
increase in occupancy.
|
General and Administrative Expenses
|
•
|
The increase in general and administrative expenses, as shown in the chart above, is primarily driven by the acquisition of the management company during the PELP transaction. This resulted in additional employee compensation costs for managing the day-to-day affairs of the Managed Funds, identifying and making acquisitions and investments on their behalf, and recommending to the respective boards of directors an approach for providing investors of the Managed Funds with liquidity, offset by the elimination of the asset management fee.
|
|
•
|
This increase shown in the chart above is offset by
$4.0 million
in the capitalization of acquisition expenses recognized prior to January 1, 2017, directly related to asset acquisitions prior to that date, which was attributed to the implementation of ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017.
|
33
Vesting of Class B Units
|
•
|
The
$24.0 million
expense resulted from the PELP transaction and was a combination of the vesting of
2.8 million
Class B units as well as the reclassification of previous distributions on those Class B units to noncontrolling interests. The vesting of the Class B units was a noncash expense of
$27.6 million
for asset management services rendered between December 2014 and September 2017. Distributions paid on these units totaled
$3.6 million
over this time period and have been reclassified from the 2017 consolidated statement of operations and reflected as distributions from equity instead.
|
Termination of Affiliate Arrangements
|
•
|
The
$5.5 million
expense was related to the redemption of unvested Class B units at the estimated value per share on the date of the termination, that had been earned by our former advisor for historical asset management services.
|
Depreciation and Amortization
|
•
|
The
$24.6 million
increase in depreciation and amortization included a
$16.1 million
increase related to the 76 properties and the management contracts acquired in the PELP transaction.
|
|
•
|
The increase included a
$12.1 million
increase related to properties acquired after December 31, 2015, excluding properties acquired in the PELP transaction, as well as properties classified as redevelopment.
|
|
•
|
The increase was offset by a
$1.7 million
decrease due to the disposition of two properties in December 2016 and October 2017.
|
|
•
|
The increase was also offset by a
$1.8 million
decrease attributed to certain intangible lease assets becoming fully amortized on our same-center portfolio.
|
Interest Expense, net
•
The
$13.2 million
increase was primarily due to additional borrowings on our revolving credit facility and new secured and unsecured term loan facilities entered into in 2017, including
$485 million
in new term loans that were entered into in order to extinguish the corporate debt from PELP in the PELP transaction. Interest expense, net was comprised of the following for the years ended
December 31, 2017
and
2016
(dollars in thousands):

Transaction Expenses
|
•
|
The transaction expenses incurred resulted from costs related to the PELP transaction (see Note
4
), primarily third-party professional fees, such as financial advisor, consulting, accounting, legal, and tax fees, as well as fees associated with obtaining lender consents necessary to complete the transaction.
|
Gain on the Sale of Property, net
|
•
|
The
$3.0 million
decrease in gain on the sale of property, net is related to a
$1.8 million
gain recognized on one property sold during the year ended
December 31, 2017
, as compared to a
$4.7 million
gain recognized on one property sold during the year ended
December 31, 2016
.
|
Other Income, Net
|
•
|
The
$0.6 million
decrease was largely due to a 2016 gain related to hedging ineffectiveness that is no longer realized due to our adoption of a new accounting standard in 2017, partially offset by a gain on the sale of land in 2018.

Non-GAAP Measures
Pro Forma Same-Center Net Operating Income
—Same-Center NOI represents the NOI for the properties that were owned and operational for the entire portion of both comparable reporting periods. For purposes of evaluating Same-Center NOI on a comparative basis, and in light of the PELP transaction as well as the Merger, we are presenting Pro Forma Same-Center NOI, which is Same-Center NOI on a pro forma basis as if the PELP transaction and the Merger had occurred on January 1,
2017
. This perspective allows us to evaluate Same-Center NOI growth over a comparable period. Pro Forma Same-Center NOI is not necessarily indicative of what actual Same-Center NOI and growth would have been if the PELP transaction and the Merger had occurred on January 1,
2017
, nor does it purport to represent Same-Center NOI and growth for future periods.
Pro Forma Same-Center NOI highlights operating trends such as occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs on properties that were operational for both comparable periods. Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating Same-Center NOI, and accordingly, our Pro Forma Same-Center NOI may not be comparable to other REITs.
Pro Forma Same-Center NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it does not reflect the operations of our entire portfolio, nor does it reflect the impact of general and administrative expenses, acquisition expenses, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, other income, or the level of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties that could materially impact our results from operations.

December 31, 2018

Funds from Operations and Modified Funds from Operations
—FFO is a non-GAAP performance financial measure that is widely recognized as a measure of REIT operating performance. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and gains (or losses) from change in control, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for impairment losses on depreciable real estate and impairments of in-substance real estate investments in investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We calculate FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests in a manner consistent with the NAREIT definition, with an additional adjustment made for noncontrolling interests that are not convertible into common stock.
MFFO is an additional performance financial measure used by us as FFO includes certain non-comparable items that affect our performance over time. We believe that MFFO is helpful in assisting management and investors with the assessment of the sustainability of operating performance in future periods. We believe it is more reflective of our core operating performance and provides an additional measure to compare our performance across reporting periods on a consistent basis by excluding items that may cause short-term fluctuations in net income (loss) but have no impact on cash flows.
FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and MFFO should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or income (loss) from continuing operations under GAAP, as an indication of our liquidity, nor as an indication of funds available to cover our cash needs, including our ability to fund distributions. MFFO may not be a useful measure of the impact of long-term operating performance on value if we do not continue to operate our business plan in the manner currently contemplated.
Accordingly, FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and MFFO should be reviewed in connection with other GAAP measurements, and should not be viewed as more prominent measures of performance than net income (loss) or cash flows from operations prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our FFO, FFO Attributable to Stockholders and Convertible Noncontrolling Interests, and MFFO, as presented, may not be comparable to amounts calculated by other REITs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
General
—Aside from standard operating expenses, we expect our principal cash demands to be for:
|
•
|
cash distributions to stockholders;
|
|
•
|
repurchases of common stock;
|
|
•
|
capital expenditures and leasing costs;
|
|
•
|
investments in real estate;
|
|
•
|
redevelopment and repositioning projects; and
|
|
•
|
principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness.
|
We expect our primary sources of liquidity to be:
|
•
|
operating cash flows;
|
|
•
|
proceeds received from dispositions of properties;
|
|
•
|
reinvested distributions;
|
|
•
|
proceeds from debt financings, including borrowings under our unsecured credit facility;
|
|
•
|
distributions received from joint ventures; and
|
|
•
|
available, unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
|
We believe our sources of cash will provide adequate liquidity to fund our obligations.
On
November 16, 2018
, we completed the Merger in a 100% stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately
$1.9 billion
, in which we assumed debt with a fair value of approximately
$464.5 million
and repaid
$357.4 million
of REIT II’s debt. We issued
2.04
shares of our common stock in exchange for each issued and outstanding share of REIT II common stock, which was equivalent to
$22.54
per share based on our most recent EVPS, at the time of the Merger, of
$11.05
(see Note
3
).
On
November 9, 2018
, we entered into an agreement with Northwestern Mutual, one of the nation’s largest and most experienced commercial real estate investors, creating GRP I. Under the terms of the GRP I joint venture, Northwestern Mutual acquired an
85%
ownership interest in
17
high-quality grocery anchored shopping centers, previously owned and operated by us, with a fair value of approximately
$359 million
. We maintain a
15%
ownership interest in the portfolio while providing asset management and property management services to GRP I. As a part of the transaction, GRP I assumed an existing portfolio mortgage loan of
$175 million
, for which we assume the obligation of limited guarantor. Our guarantee is limited to being the non-recourse carveout guarantor and the environmental indemnitor. We entered into a separate agreement with Northwestern Mutual in which we agree to apportion any potential liability under this guaranty between us and them based on our ownership percentage.
On
October 4, 2017
, we completed the PELP transaction. Under the terms of the agreement, we issued
39.4 million
OP units valued at approximately
$401.6 million
, assumed
$72.6 million
of mortgages and notes payable, refinanced
$432.1 million
of PELP’s corporate level debt at closing, and paid approximately
$30.4 million
in cash (see Note
4
).

In connection with the Merger, we assumed from REIT II unsecured term loans and secured mortgage debt with a combined fair value of
$464.5 million
, and refinanced
$548.3 million
of debt. At the closing of the Merger, we established two term loans for $300 million and $100 million maturing in November 2023 and May 2024, respectively. We also exercised an accordion feature on an existing term loan, adding
$217.5 million
in new debt maturing in May 2025,
$60 million
of which is available via delayed draw feature. These funds from these financings were used at the time of closing to pay down REIT II’s remaining debt, which included a
$158.3 million
revolving credit facility, a
$185 million
term loan maturing in July 2019, as well as a partial pay down of
$14.1 million
on a term loan at closing. Funds from the financing were also used to refinance a $175 million PECO term loan maturing February 2020 and to pay down PECO’s existing revolving credit facility.
39
Proceeds from the GRP I joint venture were used to pay down a $100 million term loan maturing in February 2019 and the outstanding balance on the revolver.
Our debt is subject to certain covenants, and, as of
December 31, 2018
, we were in compliance with the restrictive covenants of our outstanding debt obligations. We expect to continue to meet the requirements of our debt covenants over the short- and long-term. Our debt to total enterprise value and debt covenant compliance as of
December 31, 2018
allows us access to future borrowings as needed.

Operating Activities
—Our net cash provided by operating activities was primarily impacted by the following:
|
•
|
Property operations—Most of our operating cash comes from rental and tenant recovery income, offset by cash outflows for property operating expenses, real estate taxes, and general and administrative costs. Our change in cash flows from property operations primarily results from owning a larger portfolio year-over-year, as well as a
3.7%
increase in Pro Forma Same-Center NOI.
|
|
•
|
Fee and management income—Following the completion of the PELP transaction, we also generate operating cash from our third-party investment management business, offset by the operational costs of the business. Our fee and management income was
$32.9 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2018
as compared to
$8.2 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2017
. The increase is due to a full year of our internalized investment management business.
|
|
•
|
Cash paid for interest—During the year ended
December 31, 2018
, we paid
$67.6 million
for interest, an increase of
$28.1 million
over the same period in
2017
.
|
|
•
|
Working capital—During the year ended
December 31, 2018
, aside from timing differences, payables increased primarily due to higher real estate taxes and employee compensation as a result of owning more properties and additional administrative costs from having a full year of operations related to the properties and management company acquired in the PELP transaction
, partially offset by an increase in deferred revenue and a decrease in receivables from affiliates.
|
|
•
|
Other
—Our transaction costs in 2018 were lower than 2017 partially as a result of the capitalization of certain transaction costs as part of the Merger due to its treatment as an asset acquisition. In addition, we had a decrease in costs due to the
2017
vesting of Class B units and termination of certain affiliate arrangements in connection with the PELP transaction.
|
40
Investing Activities
—Our net cash used in investing activities was primarily impacted by the following:
|
•
|
Asset acquisitions and business combinations—During the year ended
December 31, 2018
, we acquired
86
shopping centers through the Merger (see Note
3
for more detail). The Merger was a 100% stock-for-stock transaction; however, we had a net cash outlay of
$363.5 million
, primarily as a result of debt from REIT II that we paid upon closing. During the year ended
December 31, 2017
, we acquired
84
shopping centers, including
76
shopping centers through the PELP transaction (see Note
4
for more detail). The net cash impact of the PELP transaction was a
$446.2 million
outlay.
|
|
•
|
Real estate acquisitions—During the year ended
December 31, 2018
, we purchased
five
shopping centers outside of the Merger, for a total cash outlay of
$87.1 million
, as compared to
eight
shopping centers purchased outside of the PELP transaction for a total cash outlay of
$159.7 million
during the year ended
December 31, 2017
.
|
|
•
|
Real estate dispositions and sales and contributions to joint venture—During the year ended
December 31, 2018
, we sold or contributed
25
shopping centers, including
17
shopping centers sold or contributed to the GRP I joint venture for a total cash inflow of
$161.8 million
. For the
eight
shopping centers sold outside of the GRP I joint venture, we had a total cash inflow of
$78.7 million
, as compared to one shopping center sold during the year ended
December 31, 2017
for a total cash inflow of
$7.4 million
.
|
|
•
|
Capital expenditures—We invest capital into leasing our properties and maintaining or improving the condition of our properties. During the year ended
December 31, 2018
, cash used for capital expenditures increased by
$6.8 million
over the same period in
2017
as a result of our larger portfolio of shopping centers, as well as having a full year of corporate capital expenditures.
|
Financing Activities
—Net cash provided by financing activities was primarily impacted by the following:
|
•
|
Debt borrowings and payments—Cash from financing activities is primarily affected by inflows from borrowings and outflows from payments on debt. As our debt obligations mature, we intend to refinance the remaining balance, if possible, or pay off the balances at maturity using proceeds from operations and/or corporate-level debt. During the year ended
December 31, 2018
, our net borrowings decreased by
$323.6 million
as a result of refinancing of existing debt in
2018
, as compared to an increase in net borrowings in
2017
driven by entering into new term loan agreements and secured borrowings in connection with the PELP transaction.
|
|
•
|
Distributions to stockholders and OP unit holders—There was a large increase in distributions paid to OP unit holders in 2018 as a result of issuing
39.4 million
OP units in the PELP transaction in the fourth quarter of
2017
. Cash used for distributions to common stockholders also increased as a result of issuing
95.5 million
additional shares through the Merger and due to the temporary suspension of the DRIP for the month of July 2018 in connection with the Merger; therefore all DRIP participants received their July 2018 distribution in cash rather than stock. The DRIP resumed in August 2018.
|
|
•
|
Share repurchases—Our SRP provides an opportunity for stockholders to have shares of common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations (see Note
13
). Cash outflows for share repurchases increased by
$6.6 million
.

|
We paid distributions monthly and expect to continue paying distributions monthly (subject to Board authorization) unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions, or other factors, as determined by our Board, make it imprudent to do so. The timing and amount of distributions is determined by our Board and is influenced in part by our intention to comply with REIT requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
To maintain our qualification as a REIT, we must make aggregate annual distributions to our stockholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income (which is computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction or net capital gain, and which does not necessarily equal net income (loss) as calculated in accordance with GAAP). We generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the income that we distribute to our stockholders each year due to meeting the REIT qualification requirements. However, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income, property, or net worth and to federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
We have not established a minimum distribution level, and our charter does not require that we make distributions to our stockholders.

Future variable-rate interest payments are based on interest rates as of
December 31, 2018
, including the impact of our swap agreements.
|
Our portfolio debt instruments and the unsecured revolving credit facility contain certain covenants and restrictions. The following is a list of certain restrictive covenants specific to the unsecured revolving credit facility that were deemed significant:
|
•
|
limits the ratio of debt to total asset value, as defined, to 60% or less with a surge to 65% following a material acquisition;
|
|
•
|
requires the fixed-charge ratio, as defined, to be 1.5:1 or greater, or 1.4:1 following a material acquisition; and
|
|
•
|
limits the ratio of cash dividend payments to FFO, as defined, to a specified percentage that varies among debt agreements.
|
Inflation
Inflation has been low historically and has had minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, inflation can increase in the future. Certain of our leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse effect of inflation, including rent escalations and requirements for tenants to pay their allocable share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, and certain capital expenditures. Additionally, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which allows us to target increased rents to current market rates upon renewal.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Below is a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates. Our accounting policies have been established to conform with GAAP. We consider these policies critical because they involve significant management judgments and assumptions, require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain, and are important for understanding and evaluating our reported financial results. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.
Real Estate Acquisition Accounting
—Most of the Company’s real estate acquisition activity, including the Merger, does not meet the definition of a business combination and is instead classified as an asset acquisition. As a result, most acquisition-related costs are capitalized and amortized over the life of the related assets, and there is no recognition of goodwill. Costs incurred related to properties that were not ultimately acquired were recorded as Other (Expense) Income on the consolidated statements of operations.
The PELP transaction was considered a business combination, and therefore the associated transaction expenses were expensed as incurred. The treatment of acquisition-related costs and the recognition of goodwill are the primary differences between how we account for business combinations and asset acquisitions. Regardless of whether an acquisition is considered a business combination or an asset acquisition, we record the costs of the business or assets acquired as tangible and intangible assets and liabilities based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date.
We assess the acquisition-date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles, and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis and replacement cost) and that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
We generally determine the value of construction in progress based upon the replacement cost. However, for certain acquired properties that are part of a new development, we determine fair value by using the same valuation approach as for all other properties and deducting the estimated cost to complete the development. During the remaining construction period, we capitalize interest expense until the development has reached substantial completion. Construction in progress, including capitalized interest, is not depreciated until the development has reached substantial completion.
We record above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the lease. We amortize any recorded above-market or below-market lease values as a reduction or increase, respectively, to rental income over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective lease. We also consider fixed-rate renewal options in our calculation of the fair value of
43
below-market leases and the periods over which such leases are amortized. If a tenant has a unilateral option to renew a below-market lease, we include such an option in the calculation of the fair value of such lease and the period over which the lease is amortized if we determine that the tenant has a financial incentive and wherewithal to exercise such option.
Intangible assets also include the value of in-place leases, which represents the estimated value of the net cash flows of the in-place leases to be realized, as compared to the net cash flows that would have occurred had the property been vacant at the time of acquisition and subject to lease-up. Acquired in-place lease value is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the average remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective in-place leases.
We estimate the value of tenant origination and absorption costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses, and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods.
Estimates of the fair values of the tangible assets, identifiable intangibles, and assumed liabilities require us to estimate market lease rates, property operating expenses, carrying costs during lease-up periods, discount rates, market absorption periods, and the number of years the property will be held for investment. The use of inappropriate estimates would result in an incorrect valuation of our acquired tangible assets, identifiable intangibles and assumed liabilities, which would impact the amount of our net income.
We calculate the fair value of assumed long-term debt by discounting the remaining contractual cash flows on each instrument at the current market rate for those borrowings, which we approximate based on the rate at which we would expect to incur a replacement instrument on the date of acquisition, and recognize any fair value adjustments related to long-term debt as effective yield adjustments over the remaining term of the instrument.
Valuation of Real Estate, Goodwill, Investments, and Intangible Assets
—We regularly review our owned real estate properties for evidence of impairment. When indicators of potential impairment suggest that the carrying value of our real estate may be greater than fair value, we will assess the recoverability, considering recent operating results, expected net operating cash flow, and plans for future operations. If, based on this analysis of undiscounted cash flows, we do not believe that we will be able to recover the carrying value of these assets, we would record an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate assets as defined by Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360,
Property, Plant, and Equipment
. Particular examples of events and changes in circumstances that could indicate potential impairments are significant decreases in occupancy, rental income, operating income, and market values; planned dispositions in which a published or contract price is less than the current carrying value of the assets being targeted for disposition; or changes in our property or asset management agreements. During the year ended December, 31, 2018, we recorded
$40.8 million
in impairment of real estate assets.
In the fourth quarter of 2017, in connection with the PELP transaction, we recorded goodwill of approximately
$29.1 million
. Our first annual goodwill impairment test, which was completed during the fourth quarter of 2018, indicated that our goodwill was not impaired during the year ended December 31, 2018. Our testing is performed using a quantitative approach which incorporates valuation techniques acceptable under GAAP and commonly used by real estate companies, as applicable to us. See Note
2
for more detail on the method utilized for goodwill testing.
Our finite-lived intangible assets are subject to impairment and valuation tests when certain triggering events or circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the assets may be higher than the fair value. Examples of triggering events are changes in economic outlook, changes to our business plans that may impact the realizable value of the assets, and acquisition or disposition activity, among others. In the fourth quarter of 2017, in connection with the PELP transaction, we recorded Corporate Intangible Assets, Net of approximately
$58.0 million
associated with certain management contracts that we acquired. During the year ended December 31, 2018, we derecognized
$30.4 million
of these management contracts in connection with the Merger, which was included as part of the total consideration transferred. See Note
3
for more detail.
We periodically review our investments, including our investments in our unconsolidated joint ventures as well as our investment in PECO III, for evidence of impairment. If our review indicates that impairment exists, we analyze the decline in the value of the investment to determine if the impairment is other-than-temporary. If we determine that the impairment is other-than-temporary, we would record an impairment. If we determine that there is no impairment, or that there is an impairment but it is a temporary impairment, we do not adjust the carrying value of the investment. We did not record any impairment on our investments for the year ended December 31, 2018.
In accounting for our investment in real estate, goodwill, investments, and other intangible assets, we have to employ a significant amount of judgment in the inputs that we select for impairment testing and other analyses. We select these inputs based on all available evidence and using techniques that are commonly employed by other real estate companies. Some examples of these inputs are projected revenue and expense growth rates, estimates of future cash flows, capitalization rates, discount rates, general economic conditions and trends, or other available market data. Our ability to accurately predict future operating results and cash flows, as well as to estimate and determine fair values, impacts the timing and recognition of impairments. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on our financial results.
Revenue Recognition
—We recognize minimum rent, including rental abatements and contractual fixed increases attributable to operating leases, on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases, and we include amounts expected to be received in later years in deferred rents receivable. Our policy for percentage rental income is to defer recognition of contingent rental income until the specified target (i.e., breakpoint) that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.
We record property operating expense reimbursements due from tenants for common area maintenance, real estate taxes, and other recoverable costs in the period the related expenses are incurred. We make certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. We do not expect the actual results to differ materially from the estimated reimbursement.
44
We make estimates of the collectability of our tenant receivables related to base rents, expense reimbursements, and other revenue or income. We specifically analyze accounts receivable and historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends, and changes in customer payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts. In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, we will make estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectability of the related receivable. In some cases, the ultimate resolution of these claims can exceed one year. These estimates have a direct impact on our net income because a higher bad debt reserve results in less net income.
We record lease termination income if there is a signed termination letter agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, collectability is reasonably assured, and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Upon early lease termination, we provide for losses related to unrecovered intangibles and other assets.
Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the guidance of ASC Topic 610-20,
Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets
(“ASC 610-20”), which applies to sales or transfers to non-customers of non-financial assets, or in substance, nonfinancial assets that do not meet the definition of a business. Generally, our sales of real estate would be considered a sale of a non-financial asset as defined by ASC 610-20. Under ASC 610-20, if we determine we do not have a controlling financial interest in the entity that holds the asset and the arrangement meets the criteria to be accounted for as a contract, we would de-recognize the asset and recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the real estate when control of the underlying asset transfers to the buyer.
On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
, on a modified retrospective basis. Our revenue-producing contracts are primarily leases that are not within the scope of this standard. As a result, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our rental revenue. However, the standard applied to a majority of our fees and management income. We evaluated the impact of this standard to fees and management income which did not result in a material impact on our revenue recognition, however we have provided additional disclosures around fees and management revenue in our notes. Revenues from management, leasing, and other fees charged in accordance with our various management agreements are recognized in the period in which the relevant performance obligations have been satisfied through the provision of services and the completion of the earnings process.

ITEM 7A. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We utilize interest rate swaps in order to hedge a portion of our exposure to interest rate fluctuations. We do not intend to enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes. Our hedging decisions are determined based upon the facts and circumstances existing at the time of the hedge and may differ from our currently anticipated hedging strategy. Because we use derivative financial instruments to hedge against interest rate fluctuations, we may be exposed to both credit risk and market risk. Credit risk is the failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the derivative contract. If the fair value of a derivative contract is positive, the counterparty will owe us, which creates credit risk for us. If the fair value of a derivative contract is negative, we will owe the counterparty and, therefore, do not have credit risk. We seek to minimize the credit risk in derivative instruments by entering into transactions with high-quality counterparties. Market risk is the adverse effect on the value of a financial instrument that results from a change in interest rates. The market risk associated with interest-rate contracts is managed by establishing and monitoring parameters that limit the types and degree of market risk that may be undertaken.
As of
December 31, 2018
, we had
twelve
interest rate swaps that fixed LIBOR on
$1.7 billion
of our unsecured term loan facilities.
As of
December 31, 2018
, we had not fixed the interest rate on
$244.8 million
of our unsecured debt through derivative financial instruments, and as a result we are subject to the potential impact of rising interest rates, which could negatively impact our profitability and cash flows. The impact on our results of operations of a one-percentage point increase in interest rates on the outstanding balance of our variable-rate debt at
December 31, 2018
, would result in approximately
$2.4 million
of additional interest expense annually. The additional interest expense was determined based on the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our borrowing cost and assumes no changes in our capital structure.
The information presented above does not consider all exposures or positions that could arise in the future. Hence, the information represented herein has limited predictive value. As a result, the ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, the hedging strategies at the time, and the related interest rates.
We do not have any foreign operations, and thus we are not exposed to foreign currency fluctuations.

ITEM 9B. OTHER INFORMATION
Amendment to
PELP Transaction Contribution Agreement
On March 12, 2019, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the terms of the earn-out provisions set forth in the Contribution Agreement, dated as of May 18, 2017, between the Company, the Operating Partnership and the contributors listed therein (the “Contribution Agreement”), originally entered into in connection with the PELP transaction. The earn-out provisions provided, in relevant part, that the contributors would have the right to receive a minimum of 3 million and a maximum of 5 million OP units as contingent consideration if a “liquidity event” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) was successfully achieved by the Company by December 31, 2019. Pursuant to the terms of the Amendment, the initial earn-out term has been extended by two years through December 31, 2021 and the threshold for the maximum payout of 5 million OP units has been raised to $11.20 per share from $10.20 per share.
Certain of the contributors are members of the Company’s senior management team, including Jeffrey S. Edison, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Devin I. Murphy, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. If any contingent consideration relating to a liquidity event is paid, these members of management will receive a pro rata allocation of OP units as a result of their ownership interests in the contributing entities under the Contribution Agreement.
The foregoing description of the Amendment does not purport to be complete and is subject, and qualified in its entirety by reference, to the full text of the Amendment, which is included as Exhibit 2.2 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K and is incorporated herein by reference.

Caulfield, our current senior vice president of finance, will be appointed to chief financial officer, effective August 15, 2019. Mr. Caulfield joined the Company in March 2014.
There were no arrangements or understandings between Mr. Caulfield and any other persons pursuant to which Mr. Caulfield received his appointment.

Performance LTIP Units
On March 12, 2019, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approved a new form of award agreement under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan for performance-based long term incentive units (“Performance LTIP Units”) and made one-time grants of Performance LTIP Units to each of Jeffrey S. Edison, our Chief Executive Officer and President, and Devin Murphy, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. The purpose of the Performance LTIP Units awards is to incentivize the recipients to create superior growth in the Company’s operational performance and asset management business.
The Performance LTIP Units represent a target number of units that can be earned if certain performance measures are achieved during a stated performance period and if certain additional vesting requirements are met. The performance measures are goals relating to Core FFO growth and new revenue generated by the Company’s asset management business, exclusive of pre-existing sources of asset management fees. The number of Performance LTIP Units earned will vary between 0% and 100% of the target amount based on actual performance compared to target performance on a graduated scale, with performance at the target level resulting in 100% of the target number of Performance LTIP Units being earned. At the conclusion of the applicable performance period (or earlier upon a change in control or termination of the executive’s employment), the Committee will determine the level of achievement of each performance goal measure and the corresponding number of Performance LTIP Units earned by each grantee. Performance LTIP Units granted and applicable performance measures for each executive are as follows:
|

|
Performance Period
|
Performance Measures
|
|
Jeffrey S. Edison
|
1,357,467
|
4/1/2019-3/31/2026
|
Award units may be earned from 0-100% based on a combination of (i) new revenue generated by the Company’s asset management business during the performance period up to target of $30 million, and (ii) Core FFO per share growth relative to the Company’s peers during the performance period up to target of 80
th
percentile or above
|
|
Devin I. Murphy
|
678,734
|
4/1/2019-3/31/2024
|
Award units may be earned from 0-100% based on the amount of new revenue generated by the Company’s asset management business during the performance period up to target revenue of $30 million
|
No additional Performance LTIP Units will be earned for performance achieved above the target level. Any amounts earned under the Performance LTIP Unit award agreements will be issued in the form of LTIP Units, which represent OP units that are structured as a profits interest in the Operating Partnership. Dividends will accrue on the Performance LTIP Units until the measurement date, subject to a quarterly distribution of 10% of the regular quarterly distributions.
The foregoing description of the Performance LTIP Unit award agreements does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the form of award agreements for Mr. Edison and Mr. Murphy attached hereto as Exhibits 10.26 and 10.27, respectively, and hereby incorporated by reference herein.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Phillips Edison & Company, Inc.
Opinion on the Financial Statements
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Phillips Edison & Company, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2018
, the related notes and the financial statement schedule listed in the Index at Item 15 (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”). In our opinion, the financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended
December 31, 2018
, in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.
Basis for Opinion
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company's financial statements based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud. The Company is not required to have, nor were we engaged to perform, an audit of its internal control over financial reporting. As part of our audits, we are required to obtain an understanding of internal control over financial reporting but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting. Accordingly, we express no such opinion.
Our audits included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the financial statements. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

1. ORGANIZATION
|
Phillips Edison & Company, Inc. (“we,” the “Company,” “our,” or “us”) was formed as a Maryland corporation in October 2009. Substantially all of our business is conducted through Phillips Edison Grocery Center Operating Partnership I, L.P., (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership formed in December 2009. We are a limited partner of the Operating Partnership, and our wholly owned subsidiary, Phillips Edison Grocery Center OP GP I LLC, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership.
We invest primarily in well-occupied, grocery-anchored, neighborhood and community shopping centers that have a mix of creditworthy national, regional, and local retailers that sell necessity-based goods and services in strong demographic markets throughout the United States. In addition to managing our own shopping centers, our third-party investment management business provides comprehensive real estate and asset management services to (i) Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT III, Inc. (“PECO III”), a non-traded publicly registered REIT; (ii) three institutional joint ventures, and (iii) one private fund (collectively, the “Managed Funds”).
On
November 16, 2018
, we completed a merger (the “Merger”) with Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT II, Inc. (“REIT II”), a public non-traded REIT that was advised and managed by us, in a 100% stock-for-stock transaction valued at approximately
$1.9 billion
. We issued
2.04
shares of our common stock in exchange for each issued and outstanding share of REIT II common stock. For a more detailed discussion, see Note
3
.
On
November 9, 2018
, through our direct or indirect subsidiaries, we entered into a joint venture with The Northwestern Mutual Life Insurance Company (“Northwestern Mutual”) and we contributed or sold
17
grocery-anchored shopping centers with a fair value of approximately
$359 million
at formation to the new joint venture, Grocery Retail Partners I LLC (“GRP I” or the “GRP I joint venture”), in exchange for a
15%
ownership interest in GRP I. Northwestern Mutual acquired an
85%
ownership interest in GRP I by contributing cash of
$167.1 million
. As a part of the contribution or sale of the properties to GRP I joint venture, GRP I distributed or paid cash of
$161.8 million
to us as well as assuming an existing mortgage loan with a book value of
$175 million
. For a more detailed discussion, see Note
6
.
On
October 4, 2017
, we completed a transaction valued at approximately
$1 billion
to acquire certain real estate assets and the third-party investment management business of Phillips Edison Limited Partnership (“PELP”) in exchange for stock and cash (the “PELP transaction”). See Note
4
for more detail.
As of
December 31, 2018
, we wholly-owned fee simple interests in
303
real estate properties. In addition, we owned a
20%
equity interest in Necessity Retail Partners (“NRP”), a joint venture that owned
13
properties, and we owned a
15%
interest in GRP I, which owned
17
properties, as of
December 31, 2018
.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
|
Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation
—The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries (over which we exercise financial and operating control). The financial statements of the Operating Partnership are prepared using accounting policies consistent with our accounting policies. All intercompany balances and transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.
Use of Estimates
—The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For example, significant estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to the useful lives of assets; recoverable amounts of receivables; initial valuations of tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, including goodwill, and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to property acquisitions; the valuation and nature of derivatives and their effectiveness as hedges; valuations of contingent consideration; and other fair value measurement assessments required for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Partially-Owned Entities
—If we determine that we are an owner in a variable-interest entity (“VIE”), and we hold a controlling financial interest, then we will consolidate the entity as the primary beneficiary. For a partially-owned entity determined not to be a VIE, we analyze rights held by each partner to determine which would be the consolidating party. We will generally consolidate entities (in the absence of other factors when determining control) when we have over a
50%
ownership interest in the entity. We will assess our interests in VIEs on an ongoing basis to determine whether or not we are the primary beneficiary. However, we will also evaluate who controls the entity even in circumstances in which we have greater than a
50%
ownership interest. If we do not control the entity due to the lack of decision-making abilities, we will not consolidate the entity. We have determined that the Operating Partnership is considered a VIE. We are the primary beneficiary of the VIE and our partnership interest is considered a majority voting interest. As such, we have consolidated the Operating Partnership and its wholly-owned subsidiaries.
Additionally, an Internal Revenue Code (“IRC”) Section 1031 like-kind exchange (“1031 exchange”) entails selling one property and reinvesting the proceeds in one or more properties that are similar in nature, character, or class within 180 days. A reverse 1031 exchange occurs when one or more properties is purchased prior to selling one property to be matched in the like-kind exchange, during which time legal title to the purchased property is held by an intermediary. Because we retain
F-8
essentially all of the legal and economic benefits and obligations related to the acquisition, we consider the purchased property to be a VIE and therefore we will consolidate the entity as the primary beneficiary.
Noncontrolling Interests
—Noncontrolling interests represent the portion of equity that we do not own in the entities we consolidate. We classify noncontrolling interests within permanent equity on our consolidated balance sheets. The amounts of consolidated net earnings attributable to us and to the noncontrolling interests are presented separately on our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), also referred to herein as our “consolidated statements of operations”. For additional information regarding noncontrolling interests, refer to Note
13
.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
—We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash equivalents may include cash and short-term investments. Short-term investments are stated at cost, which approximates fair value and may consist of investments in money market accounts and money market funds. The cash and cash equivalent balances at one or more of our financial institutions exceed the Federal Depository Insurance Corporation coverage.
Restricted Cash
—Restricted cash primarily consists of cash restricted for the purpose of facilitating a 1031 exchange, escrowed tenant improvement funds, real estate taxes, capital improvement funds, insurance premiums, and other amounts required to be escrowed pursuant to loan agreements. As of
December 31, 2018
, we had four properties sold as part of facilitating a 1031 exchange. The net proceeds of these sales held as restricted cash with a qualified intermediary totaled
$44.3 million
.
Investment in Property and Lease Intangibles
—Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01,
Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business
amended existing guidance in order to clarify when an integrated set of assets and activities is considered a business. We adopted ASU 2017-01 on January 1, 2017, and applied it prospectively. Under this guidance, most of our real estate acquisition activity is no longer considered a business combination and is instead classified as an asset acquisition. As a result, most acquisition-related costs that would have been recorded on our consolidated statements of operations prior to adoption are now capitalized and will be amortized over the life of the related assets, and there is no recognition of goodwill. Excluding the PELP transaction, none of our real estate acquisitions in
2018
and
2017
met the definition of a business; therefore, we accounted for all as asset acquisitions.
Real estate assets are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. The majority of acquisition-related costs are capitalized and allocated to the various classes of assets acquired. These costs are then depreciated over the estimated useful lives associated with the assets acquired. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for computing depreciation are generally not to exceed
5
-
7 years
for furniture, fixtures and equipment,
15 years
for land improvements and
30 years
for buildings and building improvements. Tenant improvements are amortized over the shorter of the respective lease term or the expected useful life of the asset. Major replacements that extend the useful lives of the assets are capitalized, and maintenance and repair costs are expensed as incurred.
We assess the acquisition-date fair values of all tangible assets, identifiable intangibles, and assumed liabilities using methods similar to those used by independent appraisers (e.g., discounted cash flow analysis and replacement cost) and that utilize appropriate discount and/or capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. The fair value of tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.
The fair values of buildings and improvements are determined on an as-if-vacant basis. The estimated fair value of acquired in-place leases is the cost we would have incurred to lease the properties to the occupancy level of the properties at the date of acquisition. Such estimates include leasing commissions, legal costs and other direct costs that would be incurred to lease the properties to such occupancy levels. Additionally, we evaluate the time period over which such occupancy levels would be achieved. Such evaluation includes an estimate of the net market-based rental revenues and net operating costs (primarily consisting of real estate taxes, insurance, and utilities) that would be incurred during the lease-up period. Acquired in-place leases as of the date of acquisition are amortized over the weighted-average remaining lease terms.
Acquired above- and below-market lease values are recorded based on the present value (using discount rates that reflect the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and management’s estimate of the market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases. The capitalized above- and below-market lease values are amortized as adjustments to rental income over the remaining terms of the respective leases. We also consider fixed-rate renewal options in our calculation of the fair value of below-market leases and the periods over which such leases are amortized. If a tenant has a unilateral option to renew a below-market lease and we determine that the tenant has a financial incentive to exercise such option, we include such an option in the calculation of the fair value of such lease and the period over which the lease is amortized.
We estimate the value of tenant origination and absorption costs by considering the estimated carrying costs during hypothetical expected lease-up periods, considering current market conditions. In estimating carrying costs, management includes real estate taxes, insurance and other operating expenses and estimates of lost rentals at market rates during the expected lease-up periods.
We estimate the fair value of assumed loans payable based upon indications of then-current market pricing for similar types of debt with similar maturities. Assumed loans payable are initially recorded at their estimated fair value as of the assumption date, and the difference between such estimated fair value and the loan’s outstanding principal balance is amortized over the life of the loan as an adjustment to interest expense. Our accumulated amortization of below-market debt was
$3.8 million
and
$3.7 million
as of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively.
Real estate assets are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the individual property may not be recoverable. In such an event, a comparison will be made of the projected operating cash flows of each property on an undiscounted basis to the carrying amount of such property. If deemed unrecoverable on an undiscounted basis, such carrying amount would be adjusted, if necessary, to estimated fair values to
F-9
reflect impairment in the value of the asset. For additional information regarding real estate asset impairments, refer to Note
18
.
Goodwill and Other Intangibles
—In the case of a business combination, after identifying all tangible and intangible assets and liabilities, the excess consideration paid over the fair value of the assets and liabilities acquired represents goodwill. We allocate goodwill to the respective reporting units in which such goodwill arises. We evaluate goodwill for impairment when an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable, or at least annually. Our annual testing date is November 30.
We adopted ASU 2017-04,
Intangibles - Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment,
as of January 1, 2018. Therefore, when we perform a quantitative test of goodwill for impairment, we compare the carrying value of net assets to the fair value of the reporting unit. If the fair value of the reporting unit exceeds its carrying amount, we do not consider goodwill to be impaired and no further analysis would be required. If the fair value is determined to be less than its carrying value, the amount of goodwill impairment equals the amount by which the reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, not to exceed the carrying amount of goodwill.
If impairment indicators arise with respect to non-real estate intangible assets with finite useful lives, we evaluate impairment by comparing the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by the asset. If estimated future undiscounted cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, then we estimate the fair value of the asset and compare the estimated fair value to the intangible asset’s carrying value. We recognize any shortfall from carrying value as an impairment loss in the current period.
Estimates of fair value used in our evaluation of goodwill and intangible assets are based upon discounted future cash flow projections, relevant competitor multiples, or other acceptable valuation techniques. These techniques are based, in turn, upon all available evidence including level three inputs (see fair value measurement policy below), such as revenue and expense growth rates, estimates of future cash flows, capitalization rates, discount rates, general economic conditions and trends, or other available market data. Our ability to accurately predict future operating results and cash flows and to estimate and determine fair values impacts the timing and recognition of impairments. While we believe our assumptions are reasonable, changes in these assumptions may have a material impact on our financial results. Based on the results of our analysis, we concluded that goodwill was not impaired for the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2017
.
Held for Sale Assets
—We consider assets to be held for sale when management believes that a sale is probable within a year. This generally occurs when a sales contract is executed with no substantive contingencies and the prospective buyer has significant funds at risk. Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value less cost to sell. For additional information regarding assets held for sale, refer to Note
5
.
Deferred Financing Expenses
—Deferred financing expenses are capitalized and amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the related financing arrangement, which approximates the effective interest method. Deferred financing expenses related to our term loan facilities and mortgages are in Debt Obligations, Net, while deferred financing expenses related to our revolving credit facility are in Other Assets, Net, on our consolidated balance sheets. The accumulated amortization of deferred financing expenses in Debt Obligations, Net was
$8.3 million
and
$5.4 million
as of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively.
Fair Value Measurement
—Accounting Standard Codification (“ASC”) Topic 820,
Fair Value Measurement
(“ASC 820”)
,
defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is intended to be a market-based measurement, as opposed to a transaction-specific measurement. Fair value is defined by ASC 820 as the price that would be received at sale for an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. Depending on the nature of the asset or liability, various techniques and assumptions can be used to estimate the fair value. Assets and liabilities are measured using inputs from three levels of the fair value hierarchy, as follows:
Level 1—Inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that we have the ability to access at the measurement date. An active market is defined as a market in which transactions for the assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2—Inputs include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active (markets with few transactions), inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability (i.e., interest rates, yield curves, etc.), and inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data correlation or other means (market corroborated inputs).
Level 3—Unobservable inputs, only used to the extent that observable inputs are not available, reflect our assumptions about the pricing of an asset or liability.
Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts we did or could actually realize upon disposition of the financial assets and liabilities previously sold or currently held.
Investment in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
—We account for our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures using the equity method of accounting as we exercise significant influence over, but do not control, these entities. These investments were initially recorded at cost and are subsequently adjusted for contributions made to and distributions received from the joint ventures. Earnings or loss from our investments are recognized in accordance with the terms of the applicable joint venture agreements, generally through a pro rata allocation. Under a pro rata allocation, net income or loss is allocated between the partners in the joint ventures based on their respective stated ownership percentages.
To recognize the character of distributions from our unconsolidated joint ventures, we review the nature of cash distributions received for purposes of determining whether such distributions should be classified as either a return on investment, which would be included in operating activities, or a return of investment, which would be included in investing activities on the consolidated statements of cash flows.
F-10
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are indicators, including the operating performance of the underlying real estate and general market conditions, that the value of our investments in our unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired. An investment’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than its carrying value and such difference is deemed to be other-than-temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over its estimated fair value.
Management’s estimates of fair value are based upon a discounted cash flow model for each specific investment that includes all estimated cash inflows and outflows over a specified holding period. Where applicable, any estimated debt premiums, capitalization rates, discount rates and credit spreads used in these models are based upon rates we believe to be within a reasonable range of current market rates. For additional information regarding our unconsolidated joint ventures, refer to Note
6
.
Revenue Recognition
—The majority of our revenue is lease revenue derived from our real estate assets. We record these amounts as Rental Income and Tenant Recovery Income on the consolidated statements of operations. These revenue amounts are accounted for under ASC Topic 840,
Leases
.
We commence revenue recognition on our leases based on a number of factors. In most cases, revenue recognition under a lease begins when the lessee takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased asset. The determination of who is the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements determines the nature of the leased asset and when revenue recognition under a lease begins. If we are the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements, then the leased asset is the finished space, and revenue recognition begins when the lessee takes possession of the finished space, typically when the improvements are substantially complete.
If we conclude that we are not the owner, for accounting purposes, of the tenant improvements (the lessee is the owner), then the leased asset is the unimproved space and any tenant allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives, which reduce revenue recognized over the term of the lease. In these circumstances, we begin revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space to construct their own improvements. We consider a number of different factors in evaluating whether we or the lessee is the owner of the tenant improvements for accounting purposes. These factors include:
|
•
|
whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
|
|
•
|
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements;
|
|
•
|
the uniqueness of the improvements;
|
|
•
|
the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and
|
|
•
|
who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.
|
We recognize rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The difference between rental income earned on a straight-line basis and the cash rent due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of Other Assets, Net. Due to the impact of the straight-line adjustments, rental income generally will be greater than the cash collected in the early years and will be less than the cash collected in the later years of a lease. Our policy for percentage rental income is to defer recognition of contingent rental income until the specified target (i.e. breakpoint) that triggers the contingent rental income is achieved.
Reimbursements from tenants for recoverable real estate taxes and operating expenses are accrued as revenue in the period in which the applicable expenses are incurred. We make certain assumptions and judgments in estimating the reimbursements at the end of each reporting period. We do not expect the actual results to materially differ from the estimated reimbursements.
We periodically review the collectability of outstanding receivables. Allowances will be recorded for those balances that we deem to be uncollectible, including any amounts relating to straight-line rent receivables and/or receivables for recoverable expenses. As of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, the bad debt reserve for uncollectible amounts was
$6.0 million
and
$3.3 million
, respectively.
We record lease termination income if there is a signed termination agreement, all of the conditions of the agreement have been met, collectability is reasonably assured and the tenant is no longer occupying the property. Upon early lease termination, we provide for losses related to unrecovered tenant-specific intangibles and other assets.
In addition to our lease-related revenue, we also earn fee revenues by providing services to the Managed Funds. These fees are accounted for within the scope of ASC Topic 606,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“ASC 606”), and are recorded as Fees and Management Income on the consolidated statements of operations. We began accounting for our non-lease revenue under ASC 606 upon our adoption of ASU 2014-09,
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
(“ASU 2014-09”),
e
ffective January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective approach. Our adoption of ASU 2014-09 did not result in any retrospective adjustments to prior periods as our previous revenue recognition policies aligned with the updated guidance.
We provide services to the Managed Funds, all of which are considered related parties. These services primarily include asset acquisition and disposition services, asset management, operating and leasing of properties, construction management, and other general and administrative responsibilities. These services are currently provided under various combinations of advisory agreements, property management agreements, and other service agreements (the “Management Agreements”).
The wide variety of duties within the Management Agreements makes determining the performance obligations within the contracts a matter of judgment. We have concluded that each of the separately disclosed fee types in the below table represents a separate performance obligation within the Management Agreements. The table below shows the most significant of these fee types in the Management Agreements:

Due to the nature of the services being provided under our Management Agreements, each performance obligation has a variable component. Therefore, when we determine the transaction price for the contracts, we are required to constrain our estimate to an amount that is not probable of significant revenue reversal. For most of these fee types, such as acquisition fees and leasing commissions, compensation only occurs if a transaction takes place and the amount of compensation is dependent upon the terms of the transaction. For our property and asset management fees, due to the large number and broad range of possible consideration amounts, we determined that we are unable to estimate our revenue until receipt at the end of each month.
In addition to the fees listed above, certain of our Management Agreements include the potential for additional revenues if certain market conditions are in place or certain events take place. We have not recognized revenue related to these fees, nor will we until it is no longer highly probable that there would be a material reversal of revenue.
Additionally, effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the guidance of ASC Topic 610-20,
Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets
(“ASC 610-20”), which applies to sales or transfers to non-customers of non-financial assets, or in substance, nonfinancial assets that do not meet the definition of a business. Generally, our sales of real estate would be considered a sale of a non-financial asset as defined by ASC 610-20. Under ASC 610-20, if we determine we do not have a controlling financial interest in the entity that holds the asset and the arrangement meets the criteria to be accounted for as a contract, we would de-recognize the asset and recognize a gain or loss on the sale of the real estate when control of the underlying asset transfers to the buyer. Further, we may defer a tax gain through a 1031 exchange by purchasing another property within a specified time period. For additional information regarding gain on sale of assets, refer to Note

.
Share-Based Compensation
—We account for equity awards in accordance with ASC Topic 718,
Compensation—Stock Compensation
, which requires that all share based payments to employees and non-employee directors be recognized in the consolidated statements of operations over the requisite service period based on their fair value. Fair value at issuance is determined using the grant date published price of the our stock. For those share-based awards that are settled in cash and recorded as a liability, the fair value and associated expense is adjusted when the published price of our stock changes. Share-based compensation expense for all awards is included in General and Administrative expenses in the our consolidated statements of operations. For more information about our stock based compensation program, see Note
14
.
Repurchase of Common Stock
—We offer a share repurchase program (“SRP”) which may allow stockholders who participate to have their shares repurchased subject to approval and certain limitations and restrictions. Under our SRP, the maximum amount of common stock that we may redeem during any calendar year is limited, among other things, to
5%
of the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during the prior calendar year. The maximum amount is reduced each reporting period by the current year share redemptions to date. In addition, the cash available for repurchases on any particular date, of which the company may use all or a portion, is generally limited to the proceeds from the DRIP during the preceding four fiscal quarters, less amounts already used for repurchases since the start of the same time period. The availability of DRIP proceeds is not a minimum repurchase requirement and we may use all or no portion. The Board of Directors (“Board”) reserves the right at any time to reject any request for repurchase or to further limit the amount repurchased below the DRIP threshold. Shares repurchased pursuant to our SRP are immediately retired upon purchase. Repurchased common stock is reflected as a reduction of stockholders’ equity. Our accounting policy related to share repurchases is to reduce common stock based on the par value of the shares and to reduce capital surplus for the excess of the repurchase price over the par value. Since the inception of the SRP in August 2010, we have had an accumulated deficit balance; therefore, the excess over the par value has been applied to additional paid-in capital. Once we have retained earnings, the excess will be charged entirely to retained earnings.
F-12
Segments
—As of
December 31, 2017
, we determined we had two reportable segments: Owned Real Estate and Investment Management. However, based upon the changes in our operations as a result of the Merger, we have determined we have a single reportable segment as of
December 31, 2018
.
Income Taxes
—We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the IRC. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organization and operational requirements, including a requirement to annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. We intend to continue to adhere to these requirements and to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we are entitled to a deduction for some or all of the distributions we pay to our stockholders. Accordingly, we are generally subject to U.S. federal income taxes on any taxable income that is not currently distributed to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT until the fifth subsequent taxable year.
Notwithstanding our qualification as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income or properties. In addition, our consolidated financial statements include the operations of wholly-owned subsidiaries that have jointly elected to be treated as a Taxable REIT Subsidiary (“TRS”) and are subject to U.S. federal, state and local income taxes at regular corporate tax rates. We did not record any tax expense in prior years as 2017 was the first year of existence for the TRS. As a REIT, we may also be subject to certain U.S. federal excise taxes if we engage in certain types of transactions. For more information regarding our income taxes, see Note

ASU 2017-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting
|
This update clarifies guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award require an entity to apply modification accounting.
|
January 1, 2018
|
The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. We will apply the guidance to any future modifications of share-based compensation awards.
|
|||
|
ASU 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20)
|
This update amends existing guidance in order to provide consistency in accounting for the derecognition of a nonfinancial asset.
|
January 1, 2018
|
We did not record any cumulative adjustment in connection with the adoption of the new pronouncement as we did not have any outstanding transactions to which this new guidance applies. This guidance did, however, subsequently impact our accounting for the contribution or sale of real estate properties to GRP I in November 2018.
|
|||
|
ASU 2017-04, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other: Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment (Topic 350)
|
This update amends existing guidance in order to simplify impairment testing for goodwill. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after January 1, 2021, but early adoption is permitted.
|
January 1, 2018
|
We elected to early adopt this standard and we applied it for our annual impairment test.
|
|||
|
ASU 2016-15,
Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)
ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230)
|
These updates address the presentation of eight specific cash receipts and cash payments on the statement of cash flows, as well as clarify the classification and presentation of restricted cash on the statement of cash flows.
|
January 1, 2018
|
We adopted these ASUs by applying a retrospective transition method which requires a restatement of our consolidated statements of cash flows for all periods presented. With regards to our distributions received from equity-method joint ventures, we have elected the cumulative earnings approach, which did not result in any change to our consolidated financial statements.
|
|||
|
ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)
|
This update outlines a comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 states that “an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.” While ASU 2014-09 specifically references contracts with customers, it also applies to certain other transactions such as the sale of real estate or equipment. Expanded quantitative and qualitative disclosures are also required for contracts subject to ASU 2014-09.
|
January 1, 2018
|
Our revenue-producing contracts are primarily leases that are not within the scope of this standard. As a result, the adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our rental or tenant recovery revenue. However, the standard does apply to a majority of our fees and management income. We have evaluated the impact of this standard to fees and management income; it did not have a material impact on our revenue recognition, but we provided additional disclosures around fees and management revenue. We adopted this guidance on a modified retrospective basis.

ASU 2018-20, Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors
|
These updates amend existing guidance by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The effective date for annual reporting begins after December 15, 2019, and the following year for interim reporting for nonpublic companies, but early adoption is permitted.
|
January 1, 2019
|
In addition to requiring new disclosures within the accompanying notes to the consolidated financial statements, we have identified areas within our accounting policies that will be impacted by the new standard.
This standard impacts the lessor’s ability to capitalize certain costs related to leasing, which will result in a reduction in the amount of execution costs currently being capitalized in connection with leasing activities and an increase to our Property Operating expenses. Specifically, we will not be able to capitalize certain internal costs to execute new leases at our properties. We capitalized $6.2 million and $1.6 million of internal costs for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, respectively, some of which we will continue to capitalize in accordance with the standard. We did not have any internal leasing costs for the year ended December 31, 2016.
This standard also incorporates changes to the process used to determine classification of leases. We expect to adopt the practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. By adopting these practical expedients, we will not be required to reassess (i) whether an expired or existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (ii) the lease classification at the adoption date for existing leases; and (iii) whether the costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs would continue to be amortized. This allows us to continue to classify our existing leases in the manner in which we had previously determined prior to the adoption of the standard. This includes both leases in which we are the lessor as well as leases in which we are the lessee; we are currently party to fewer than 50 leases in which we are the lessee. We also expect to recognize right of use assets and lease liabilities on our consolidated balance sheets related to certain leases where we are the lessee. We currently estimate that these amounts will be less than 1.0% of our total assets on the consolidated balance sheets. In addition to the aforementioned expedients, the standards also allow a practical expedient to account for non-lease components and related lease components as a single lease component instead of accounting for them separately, if certain conditions are met. We expect to utilize this practical expedient. In so doing, we will be required to apply a straight-line treatment to recognizing income from tenant reimbursements of operating costs to the extent that those tenant reimbursements are fixed with set increases. We do not expect this to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements. |

The amendments in this update replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. This update is effective for public entities in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted after December 15, 2018.

to include share-base payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from non-employees, except for specific guidance on inputs to an option pricing model and the attribution of cost (that is, the period of time over which share-based payment awards vest and the pattern of cost recognition over that period). This update is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. Early adoption is permitted.

ASU 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other - Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40) Customer’s Accounting for Implementation Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement that is a Service Contract
|
This update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred in hosting arrangements that are service contracts with the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software (and hosting arrangements that include an internal-use software license). The accounting for the service element is not affected by this update. This update also requires the entity to present the expense related to the capitalized implementation costs in the same line item in the statements of income as the fees associated with the hosting element (service) of the arrangement and classify payments for capitalized implementation costs in the statements of cash flows in the same manner as payments made for fees associated with the hosting element. The amendments in this update are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years, although early adoption is permitted.

ASU 2018-16, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes
|
This update permits use of the OIS rate based on the SOFR as a US benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815. The purpose of this is to facilitate the LIBOR to SOFR transition and provide sufficient lead time for entities to prepare for changes to interest rate risk hedging strategies for both risk management and hedge accounting purposes. For entities that have not already adopted Accounting Standards Update 2017-12 (ASU 2017-12), the amendments in this update are required to be adopted concurrently with the amendments in ASU 2017-12. For public business entities that have already adopted the amendments in ASU 2017-12, the amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years.

This update amends two aspects of the related-party guidance in ASC Topic 810: (1) adds an elective private-company scope exception to the variable interest entity guidance for entities under common control, and (2) specifies that indirect interests held through related parties in common control arrangements should be considered on a proportional basis for determining whether fees paid to decision makers and service providers are variable interests. For entities other than private companies, the amendments in this update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. All entities are required to apply the amendments in this update retrospectively with a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings at the beginning of the earliest period presented.

To complete the Merger, we issued
2.04
shares of our common stock in exchange for each issued and outstanding share of REIT II common stock, which was equivalent to
$22.54
based on our most recent estimated value per share (“EVPS”) of
$11.05
. The exchange ratio was based on a thorough review of the relative valuation of each entity, including factoring in our investment management business as well as each company’s transaction costs.
Upon completion of the Merger, our continuing stockholders owned approximately
71%
of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis (determined as if each Operating Partnership unit (“OP unit”) were exchanged for one share of our common stock) and former REIT II stockholders owned approximately
29%
of the issued and outstanding shares of the Company on a fully diluted basis (determined as if each OP unit were exchanged for one share of our common stock).
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
—After consideration of all applicable factors pursuant to the business combination accounting rules under ASC 805,
Business Combinations
(“ASC 805”), including the application of a screen test to evaluate if substantially all the fair value of the acquired properties is concentrated in a single asset or group of similar assets, we have concluded that the Merger qualifies as an asset acquisition.
Additionally, prior to the close of the Merger, all of REIT II’s real properties were managed and leased by us, under the terms of various management agreements. As we had contractual relationships with REIT II, we considered the provisions of ASC 805 regarding the settlement of pre-existing relationships. This guidance provides that a transaction that in effect settles pre-existing relationships between the acquirer and acquiree should be evaluated under the guidance set forth in ASC 805 for possible gain/loss recognition.
In applying the relevant guidance to the settlement of our contractual relationships with REIT II, we noted that the provisions of the various agreements provided both parties to each of the agreements with substantial termination rights. The agreements permitted either party to terminate without cause or penalty upon prior written notice within a specified number of days’ notice. Therefore, we determined that the termination of the agreements did not result in a settlement gain or loss under the relevant guidance, and thus no gain or loss was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.
Prior to the consummation of the Merger, we did, however, have an existing intangible asset related to our acquisition of certain management contracts between PELP and REIT II during the PELP transaction. Because this relationship was internalized as part of the Merger, we derecognized the carrying value of these intangible assets upon completion of the Merger and have included the derecognized contract value of
$30.4 million
in our calculation of total consideration in the table above.
As of
December 31, 2018
, we have capitalized approximately
$11.6 million
in costs related to the Merger. The following table summarizes the final purchase price allocation based on a valuation report prepared by a third-party valuation specialist that was subject to management’s review and approval (in thousands):

On
October 4, 2017
, we completed the PELP transaction. The PELP transaction was approved by the independent special committee of our Board, which had retained independent financial and legal advisors. It was also approved by our stockholders, as well as PELP’s partners. Under the terms of this transaction, at the time of purchase, the following consideration was given in exchange for the contribution of PELP’s ownership interests in

We issued
39.4 million
OP units with an estimated fair value per unit of
$10.20
at the time of the transaction. Certain of our executive officers who received OP units as part of the PELP transaction entered into an agreement which provides that they will not transfer their OP Units for either two or three years following the closing. The remaining holders of the OP units are subject to the terms of exchange for shares of common stock outlined in the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, which is further described in Note
13
.
The terms of the transaction also include an earn-out structure with an opportunity for up to an additional
12.5 million
OP units to be issued if certain milestones are achieved. The milestones are related to a liquidity event for our stockholders and fundraising targets in Phillips Edison Grocery Center REIT III, Inc. (“PECO III”), of which PELP was a co-sponsor. The estimated fair value of this earn-out was recorded as
$38 million
as of the transaction date and is presented in Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets. We will estimate the fair value of this earn-out liability at each reporting date during the contingency period and record any changes to our consolidated statement of operations. As of December 31, 2018, the fair value of the earn-out liability was
$39.5 million
.
As part of the transaction, we entered into a tax protection agreement with certain recipients of OP Units. Under the agreement, we will provide certain protections with respect to tax matters for a period of ten years commencing at the closing date. These protections include indemnification for certain tax liabilities incurred in connection with certain taxable transfers of contributed properties, failure to comply with certain obligations related to nonrecourse liability allocations and debt guarantee opportunities, and certain fundamental transactions. These fundamental transactions mean with respect to any contributed entity, a merger, combination, consolidation, or similar transaction (including a transfer of all or substantially all of the assets of such entity).
Immediately following the closing of the PELP transaction, our stockholders owned approximately
80.6%
and former PELP stockholders owned approximately
19.4%
of the combined company.
Assets Acquired and Liabilities Assumed
—After consideration of all applicable factors pursuant to the business combination accounting rules under ASC 805, we have concluded that the PELP transaction qualifies as a business combination under GAAP.
Additionally, prior to the close of the PELP transaction, all of PELP’s real properties were managed and leased by us, under the terms of various management agreements. As we had contractual relationships with PELP, we considered the provisions of ASC 805 regarding the settlement of pre-existing relationships. This guidance provides that a transaction that in effect settles pre-existing relationships between the acquirer and acquiree should be evaluated under the guidance set forth in ASC 805 for possible gain/loss recognition.
In applying the relevant guidance to the settlement of our contractual relationships with PELP, we noted that the provisions of the various agreements provided both parties to each of the agreements with substantial termination rights. The agreements permitted either party to terminate without cause or penalty upon prior written notice within a specified number of days’ notice. Therefore, we determined that the termination of the agreements did not result in a settlement gain or loss under the relevant guidance, and thus no gain or loss was recorded in the consolidated financial statements.

The allocation of the purchase price is based on management’s assessment, which requires a significant amount of judgment and represents management’s best estimate of the fair value as of the acquisition date. We had an immaterial decrease in goodwill during the year ended December 31, 2018, as the result of a measurement period adjustment.

In connection with the Merger, we derecognized management contracts associated with REIT II in the amount of $
39.3 million
. We also derecognized the associated accumulated amortization of
$8.9 million
, resulting in a net derecognition of
$30.4 million
.

Goodwill
—In connection with the PELP transaction, we recorded goodwill of
$29.1 million
as a result of the consideration exceeding the fair value of the net assets acquired. Goodwill represents the estimated future benefits arising from other assets acquired that could not be individually identified and separately recognized. This goodwill is not deductible for tax purposes. The goodwill recorded represents our management structure and its ability to generate additional opportunities for revenue and raise additional funds.

6. INVESTMENTS IN UNCONSOLIDATED JOINT VENTURES
|
Grocery Retail Partners I
—On
November 9, 2018
, through our direct and indirect subsidiaries, we entered into a joint venture with Northwestern Mutual, pursuant to which we contributed 14 and sold 3 grocery-anchored shopping centers with a fair value of approximately
$359 million
to the new joint venture, GRP I, in exchange for a
15%
ownership interest in GRP I. Northwestern Mutual acquired an
85%
ownership interest in GRP I by contributing cash of
$167.1 million
. As a part of the transaction, GRP I distributed or paid cash of
$161.8 million
to us as well as assumed an existing portfolio mortgage loan of
$175 million
with a fair value of
$165.0 million
to which we are the non-recourse carveout guarantor and environmental indemnitor (see Note
16
for more detail). We recognized a gain of
$92.5 million
on the transaction which is recorded as Gain on Sale or Contribution of Property, Net on the statement of operations.
Necessity Retail Partners
—In connection with the Merger, we assumed a
20%
equity interest in NRP. NRP was initially formed in March 2016 between REIT II and an affiliate of TPG Real Estate and is set to expire seven years after the date of the joint venture contribution agreement (the “NRP Joint Venture Agreement”) unless otherwise extended by the members. The NRP Joint Venture Agreement requires a contribution of up to
$50 million
to the joint venture. Of the maximum
$50 million
contribution, approximately
$17.5 million
was previously contributed by REIT II prior to the Merger.
Our investment in NRP differs from our proportionate share of the entities' underlying net assets due to basis differences of
$6.2 million
arising from the Merger and recording the investment at fair value. These amounts are amortized starting at the date of the Merger and recorded as an offset to earnings from the joint venture in Other (Expense) Income, Net on our consolidated statements of operations. The remaining unamortized balance as of
December 31, 2018
was
$6.0 million
.

. The maturity date is October 2021, with additional options to extend the maturity to October 2022. The gross borrowings under our revolving credit facility were
$475.4 million
,
$437.0 million
, and
$590.8 million
during the years ended
December 31, 2018
,

, and
$554.8 million
during the years ended
December 31, 2018
,
2017
, and

Term Loans
—We have
eight
unsecured term loans with maturities ranging from 2020 to 2025. Our term loans have interest rates of LIBOR plus interest rate spreads based on our leverage ratios. With the exception of
$245.5 million
, all of these rates have been fixed through the use of interest rate swaps.
Of the eight term loans, we assumed three as part of the Merger with a fair value of
$361.7 million
. Additionally, at the closing of the Merger, we established two term loans for
$300 million
and
$100 million
maturing in November 2023 and May 2024, respectively. We also exercised an accordion feature on an existing term loan maturing in May 2025, adding
$157.5 million
in new debt, with an additional
$60 million
available.
As of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
the weighted-average interest rate on our term loans was
3.5%
and
3.0%
, respectively.
Secured Debt
—Our secured debt includes a facility secured by 14 properties, mortgage loans secured by individual properties, and capital leases. At the closing of the Merger, we assumed
$102.3 million
in mortgage loans. We contributed
$175 million
of our secured debt to GRP I in November 2018. In connection with the debt contributed to GRP I, we wrote-off deferred financing expenses of
$2.1 million
. The interest rates on our secured debt are fixed. As of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
our weighted average interest rate for our secured debt was
4.4%
and
4.1%
, respectively.

10. DERIVATIVES AND HEDGING ACTIVITIES
|
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
—We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposure to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of our debt funding, and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into interest rate swaps to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing, and duration of our known or expected cash receipts and our known or expected cash payments principally related to our investments and borrowings.
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
—Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for our making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges are recorded in AOCI and are subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. During the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with certain variable-rate debt.
Amounts reported in AOCI related to these derivatives will be reclassified to Interest Expense, Net as interest payments are made on the variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional
$6.2 million
will be reclassified from Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) as a decrease to Interest Expense, Net.
The following is a summary of our interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk as of
December 31, 2018
and
2017

We assumed
five
hedges with a notional amount of
$570 million
as a part of the Merger, and also entered into
one
new hedge in November 2018 with a notional amount of
$125 million
. The fair value of the five hedges assumed was
$14.7 million
and is amortized over the remaining lives and recorded in interest expense, net.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
—We have agreements with our derivative counterparties that contain provisions where, if we default, or are capable of being declared in default, on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared to be in default on our derivative obligations. As of
December 31, 2018
, the fair value of our derivatives in a net liability position, which included accrued interest but excluded any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements, was approximately
$3.6 million
. As of
December 31, 2018
, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any agreement provisions. If we had breached any of these provisions, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value of
$3.6 million
.

11. INCOME TAXES
|
We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organization and operational requirements, including a requirement to annually distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gains. We intend to continue to adhere to these requirements and to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we are entitled to a deduction for some or all of the distributions we pay to our stockholders. Accordingly, we are generally subject to U.S. federal income taxes on any taxable income that is not currently distributed to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to U.S. federal income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT until the fifth subsequent taxable year following the year of disqualification.
Notwithstanding our qualification as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income or properties. In addition, our consolidated financial statements include the operations of certain wholly owned subsidiaries that have jointly elected to be treated as a TRS and are subject to U.S. federal, state and local incomes taxes at regular corporate tax rates. As a REIT, we may also be subject to certain U.S. federal excise taxes if we engage in certain types of transactions.
Deferred income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the estimated future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted income tax rates in effect for the year in which these temporary differences are expected to reverse. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is more likely than not that they will be realized based on consideration of available evidence, including future reversal of existing taxable temporary differences, the magnitude and timing of future projected taxable income and tax planning strategies. We believe, based on available evidence, it is not more likely than not that our net deferred tax assets will be realized in future periods and, therefore, have recorded a valuation allowance equal to the net deferred tax asset balance.
The following is a summary of our deferred tax assets and liabilities as of
December 31, 2018
and

Our deferred tax assets and liabilities result from the activities of the TRS. The TRS have a federal net operating loss carryforward of
$5.4 million
. Of this amount,
$4.8 million
was generated in
2017
and will expire in
2037
if the net operating loss is not utilized. The net operating loss of
$0.6 million
generated in 2018 can be carried forward indefinitely. As of
December 31, 2018
, the TRS have state net operating loss carryforwards of
$2.2 million
, which will expire as determined under each state's statute.

Differences between the net income presented on the consolidated statements of operations and taxable income primarily related to the timing of the recognition of gain or loss on the sale of investment properties for financial reporting purposes and tax reporting and the differences in recognition of revenues and expenses for both financial reporting and tax reporting.

Income tax benefits from uncertain tax positions are recognized in the financial statements only if we believe it is more likely than not that the uncertain tax position will be sustained based solely on the technical merits of the tax position and consideration of the relevant taxing authority's widely understood administrative practices and precedents. We do not believe that we have any uncertain tax positions at
December 31, 2018
and
2017
.
The statute of limitations for the federal income tax returns remain open for the 2015 through 2017 tax years. The statute of limitations for state income tax returns remain open in accordance with each state's statute.
Interest and penalties related to income taxes are immaterial to the consolidated financial statements. Our accounting policy is to classify interest and penalties as a component of income tax expense. No interest and penalties were accrued by the Company at
December 31, 2018
and
2017
.

Leases
—Our leases primarily consist of short- and long-term operating leases for office space and equipment, as well as long-term ground leases at certain of our properties. Total rental expense for long-term operating leases was approximately
$1.3 million
for the year ended
December 31, 2018

Litigation
—We are involved in various claims and litigation matters arising in the ordinary course of business, some of which involve claims for damages. Many of these matters are covered by insurance, although they may nevertheless be subject to deductibles or retentions. Although the ultimate liability for these matters cannot be determined, based upon information currently available, we believe the resolution of such claims and litigation will not have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Environmental Matters
—In connection with the ownership and operation of real estate, we may potentially be liable for costs and damages related to environmental matters. In addition, we may own or acquire certain properties that are subject
F-26
to environmental remediation. Depending on the nature of the environmental matter, the seller of the property, a tenant of the property, and/or another third party may be responsible for environmental remediation costs related to a property. Additionally, in connection with the purchase of certain properties, the respective sellers and/or tenants may agree to indemnify us against future remediation costs. We also carry environmental liability insurance on our properties that provides limited coverage for any remediation liability and/or pollution liability for third-party bodily injury and/or property damage claims for which we may be liable. We are not aware of any environmental matters which we believe are reasonably likely to have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
Captive Insurance
—As part of the PELP transaction, we acquired a captive insurance company, Silver Rock Insurance, Inc. (“Silver Rock”), from PELP. Silver Rock provides general liability insurance, wind, reinsurance, and other coverage to us, PECO III, PELP, and certain related party joint ventures. We capitalize Silver Rock in accordance with applicable regulatory requirements.
Silver Rock established annual premiums based on the past loss experience of the insured properties. An independent third party was engaged to perform an actuarial estimate of projected future claims, related deductibles, and projected future expenses necessary to fund associated risk management programs. Premiums paid to Silver Rock may be adjusted based on this estimate. Premiums paid to Silver Rock may be reimbursed by tenants pursuant to specific lease terms.
As of
December 31, 2018
, we had three cash collateralized letters of credit outstanding totaling approximately
$6.7 million
to provide security for our obligations under our insurance and reinsurance contracts.

13. EQUITY
|
General
—
The holders of common stock are entitled to one vote per share on all matters voted on by stockholders, including election of the Board. Our charter does not provide for cumulative voting in the election of directors.
On May 9, 2018, our Board increased the EVPS of our common stock to
$11.05
based substantially on the estimated market value of our portfolio of real estate properties and our third-party investment management business as of March 31, 2018. We engaged a third-party valuation firm to provide a calculation of the range in EVPS of our common stock as of March 31, 2018, which reflected certain balance sheet assets and liabilities as of that date. Previously, on November 8, 2017, our Board increased the EVPS of our common stock to
$11.00
from
$10.20
based substantially on the estimated market value of our portfolio of real estate properties and our third-party investment management business as of October 5, 2017, the first full business day after the closing of the PELP transaction.
Shares of our common stock are issued under the DRIP and redeemed under the SRP, as discussed below, at the same price as the EVPS in effect at the time of issuance or redemption.
Dividend Reinvestment Plan
—The DRIP allows stockholders to invest distributions in additional shares of our common stock, subject to certain limits. Stockholders who elect to participate in the DRIP may choose to invest all or a portion of their cash distributions in shares of our common stock at a price equal to our most recent estimated value per share. In connection with the Merger (see Note
3
), the DRIP was temporarily suspended for the month of July 2018; therefore, all DRIP participants received their July 2018 distribution in cash rather than in stock. The DRIP resumed in August 2018, with the distribution paid in September 2018.
Stockholders who elect to participate in the DRIP, and who are subject to U.S. federal income taxation laws, will incur a tax liability on an amount equal to the fair value on the relevant distribution date of the shares of our common stock purchased with reinvested distributions, even though such stockholders have elected not to receive the distributions in cash.
Share Repurchase Program
—Our SRP provides an opportunity for stockholders to have shares of common stock repurchased, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price equal to our most recent estimated value per share. In connection with the Merger, the SRP was also temporarily suspended for the month of July 2018, and resumed in August 2018.
F-27
In 2018 and 2017, repurchase requests surpassed the funding limits under the SRP. Approximately
4.9 million
shares of our common stock were repurchased under the SRP during the year ended
December 31, 2018
. Repurchase requests in connection with a stockholder’s death, “qualifying disability”, or “determination of incompetence” were completed in full. The remaining repurchase requests that were in good order were fulfilled on a pro rata basis. As of
December 31, 2018
, we had
2.4 million
shares of unfulfilled repurchase requests. Due to the program’s funding limits, no funds will be available for the first quarter of 2019. The next availability is expected to be at the end of July 2019. Under the terms of the SRP, the availability of DRIP proceeds is not a minimum repurchase requirement and we may use all or no portion of the proceeds available.
The next standard repurchase of the Company is expected to be in July 2019. At that time, should the demand for standard redemptions exceed the funding the Company makes available for repurchases, for which the Company may use all or a portion, the Company is expected to make pro-rata redemptions. Following that standard repurchase, standard repurchase requests that are on file with the Company and in good order that have not been fully executed (due to pro-rata redemptions) will remain on file for future redemptions.
Convertible Noncontrolling Interests
—As of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, we have approximately
44.5 million
units of outstanding OP units. Additionally, certain of our outstanding restricted share and performance share awards will result in the issuance of OP units upon vesting in future periods. These are included in the outstanding unvested award totals disclosed in Note
14
.
As part of the PELP transaction, we issued
39.4 million
OP units that are classified as noncontrolling interests. Prior to the PELP transaction, the Operating Partnership also issued limited partnership units that were designated as Class B units for asset management services provided by an affiliate of PELP. In connection with the PELP transaction, Class B units were no longer issued for asset management services subsequent to September 2017. Upon closing of the PELP transaction and termination of the advisory agreement, we determined the economic hurdle required for vesting had been met, and all outstanding Class B units vested and were converted to OP units. As such, we recorded a
$24.0 million
expense on our consolidated statements of operations as Vesting of Class B Units, which included the
$27.6 million
vesting of Class B units previously issued for asset management services and the reclassification of historical distributions on those units to Noncontrolling Interests.
Under the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, OP unit holders may elect to exchange OP units. The Operating Partnership controls the form of the redemption, and may elect to exchange OP units for shares of our common stock, provided that the OP units have been outstanding for at least one year, or for cash. As the form of redemption for OP units is within our control, the OP units outstanding as of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, are classified as Noncontrolling Interests within permanent equity on our consolidated balance sheets. The
$28.7 million
and
$9.1 million
of distributions for the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively, that have been paid on OP units are included in Distributions to Noncontrolling Interests on the consolidated statements of equity.
In September 2017, we entered into an agreement with American Realty Capital II Advisors, LLC (“ARC”) to terminate all remaining contractual and economic relationships between us and ARC. In exchange for a payment of
$9.6 million
, ARC sold their OP units, unvested Class B Units, and their special limited partnership interests back to us, terminating all fee-sharing arrangements between ARC and PELP affiliates. The
0.4 million
OP unit repurchase was recorded at a value of
$4.2 million
on the consolidated statements of equity. The
$5.4 million
value of the unvested Class B units, special limited partnership interests, and value of fee-sharing arrangements is recorded on the consolidated statement of operations.
Nonconvertible Noncontrolling Interests
—In addition to partnership units of the Operating Partnership, Noncontrolling Interests also includes a
25%
minority-owned interest held by a third party in a consolidated partnership, which was not significant to our results.

14. COMPENSATION
|
Independent Director Stock Plan—
The Board approves restricted stock awards pursuant to our Amended and Restated 2010 Independent Director Stock Plan. The awards are granted to our independent directors and vest based upon the completion of a service period (“service-based awards”). As of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, there were approximately
32,000
and
18,000
outstanding unvested awards granted to independent directors, respectively.
Employee Long Term Incentive Plan—
Beginning in 2018, service-based restricted stock awards and performance-based awards are granted to employees under our Amended and Restated 2010 Long-Term Incentive Plan.
Service-based awards typically follow a four-year graded vesting schedule and will vest in the form of common stock or OP units. For performance-based awards, the number of shares that vest depends on whether certain financial metrics are met, as calculated over a three-year performance period. For each annual performance-based award, 50% of the shares earned vest at the end of the three-year period and 50% of the shares earned vest following an additional year of service. Vesting of these performance awards is in the form of common stock, or certain awards may vest in the form of OP Units at the election of the recipient.
In connection with the PELP transaction, we assumed employee awards of phantom stock units. Substantially all phantom stock awards granted by PELP contained either a five-year cliff vesting provision or a four-year graded vesting provision. The value of the awards changes in direct relation to the change in estimated value per share of our common stock, but the value is paid in cash rather than in common stock.
We recognize expense for awards with graded vesting under the accelerated recognition method, whereby each vesting is treated as a separate award with expense for each vesting recognized ratably over the requisite service period. Expense amounts are recorded in General and Administrative or Property Operating on our consolidated statements of operations. The awards are valued according to the EVPS for our common stock at the date of grant. Holders of unvested service-based and performance-based awards that are not phantom stock units are entitled to dividend and distribution rights, but are not entitled to voting rights. Holders of phantom stock units are entitled to receive distributions, which are recorded as expense when declared, but are not entitled to voting rights.

December 31, 2018

The expense for all stock-based awards, including phantom stock units, during the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2017
was
$10.4 million
and
$3.4 million
, respectively. The expense during the year ended December 31, 2016, was immaterial. We
F-28
had
$9.0 million
of unrecognized compensation costs related to these awards that we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of approximately
1.3 years
. The fair value at the vesting date for stock-based awards that vested during the year ended
December 31, 2018
was
$15.4 million
.
Because the phantom stock units are settled in cash rather than shares, we record a liability in Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets for these awards. The amount of this liability, including related payroll tax accruals, was
$8.7 million
as of
December 31, 2018
.
Subsequent to December 31, 2018, approximately
2.1 million
performance-based award units were granted to certain of our executives. The total number of performance-based stock units that will vest depends on whether certain financial metrics are met over the performance periods.
401(k) Plan
—We sponsor a 401(k) plan that provides benefits for qualified employees. Our match of the employee contributions is discretionary and has a five-year vesting schedule. The cash contributions to the plan for the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2017
were approximately
$1.0 million
and
$0.2 million
, respectively. All employees who have attained the age of 21 are eligible to participate starting the first day of the month following their date of hire. Employees are vested immediately with respect to employee contributions.
|
15. EARNINGS PER SHARE
|
We use the two-class method of computing earnings per share (“EPS”), which is an earnings allocation formula that determines EPS for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid). Under the two-class method, basic EPS is computed by dividing Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Stockholders by the weighted-average number of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur from share equivalent activity.
OP units held by limited partners other than us are considered to be participating securities because they contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents, and have the potential to be exchanged for an equal number of shares of our common stock in accordance with the terms of the Fourth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of Phillips Edison Grocery Center Operating Partnership I, L.P. Phantom stock units are not considered to be participating securities, as they are not convertible into common stock.
The impact of these OP units on basic and diluted EPS has been calculated using the two-class method whereby earnings are allocated to the OP units based on dividends declared and the OP units’ participation rights in undistributed earnings. The effects of the two-class method on basic and diluted EPS were immaterial to the consolidated financial statements as of
December 31, 2018
,
2017
, and
2016
.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per share calculations for the years ended December 31,
2018
,
2017
, and
2016

OP units include units previously issued for asset management services provided under our former advisory agreement (see Note

), as well as units issued as part of the PELP transaction (see Note
4
), all of which are convertible into common shares. The Operating Partnership income (loss) attributable to these OP units, which is included as a component of Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests on the consolidated statements of operations, has been added back in the numerator because these OP units were included in the denominator for all years presented.

Prior to the completion of the PELP transaction in October 2017, all of our real properties were managed and leased by a PELP affiliate and Phillips Edison & Company Ltd. (the “Property Manager”), which was wholly-owned by PELP. The Property Manager was entitled to the following specified fees and expenditure reimbursements:

Organization and Offering Costs
—Under the terms of one of our Management Agreements, we have incurred organization and offering costs related to PECO III during 2018 and 2017. We have incurred organization and offering costs related to PECO III’s private placement and public offering, which were approximately
$2.3 million
and
$2.2 million
, respectively, and were recorded in Accounts Receivable - Affiliates on the consolidated balance sheets. The amounts recognized in Accounts Receivable - Affiliates were
$4.5 million
and
$2.0 million
as of
December 31, 2018
and 2017, respectively.
During the public offering period for PECO III, we will receive a contingent fee of
2.15%
of the contract price of each property or other real estate investment it acquires. This reimbursement is intended to allow us to recoup a portion of the dealer manager fees and organization and offering costs advanced by PECO III’s advisor, in which we have a 75% interest. Therefore, this reimbursement shall not exceed the amount of organization and offering costs and dealer manager fees outstanding at the time of closing for the acquired property.
The initial
$4.5 million
we may incur to fund organization and offering costs related to the PECO III public offering will be retained by PECO III until the termination of its public offering, at which time such amount will be paid.
F-30
In addition to organization and offering costs, we have receivables related to Management Agreements from related parties of
$0.6 million
and
$4.1 million
as of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively. These amounts are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets in Accounts Receivable – Affiliates.
Other Related Party Matters
—Under the terms of the advisory agreement, we have incurred organization and offering costs related to PECO III. A portion of those costs were incurred by Griffin Capital Corporation (“Griffin sponsor”), a co-sponsor of PECO III. The Griffin sponsor owns a
25%
interest and we own a
75%
interest in the PECO III Advisor. As such, of the receivable we have from PECO III,
$1.2 million
and
$1.4 million
were reimbursable to the Griffin sponsor as of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively, and are recorded in Accounts Payable and Other Liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets.
PECO Air L.L.C. (“PECO Air”), an entity in which Mr. Edison, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, owns a
50%
interest, owns an airplane that we use for business purposes in the course of our operations. We paid approximately
$0.8 million
and
$0.1 million
to PECO Air for use of its airplane for the years ended
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, respectively.
Upon completion of the PELP transaction, we assumed PELP’s obligation as the limited guarantor for up to
$200 million
, capped at
$50 million
in most instances, of NRP’s debt. Our guarantee is limited to being the non-recourse carveout guarantor and the environmental indemnitor.
As a part of the GRP I Joint Venture, GRP I assumed from us a
$175 million
mortgage loan for which we assumed the obligation of limited guarantor. Our guarantee is limited to being the non-recourse carveout guarantor and the environmental indemnitor. We entered into a separate agreement with Northwestern Mutual in which we agree to apportion any potential liability under this guaranty between us and them based on our ownership percentage.

17. OPERATING LEASES
|
The terms and expirations of our operating leases with our tenants vary. The lease agreements frequently contain options to extend the terms of leases and other terms and conditions as negotiated. We retain substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership of the real estate assets leased to tenants.
Approximate future rental income to be received under noncancelable operating leases in effect as of
December 31, 2018

No single tenant comprised 10% or more of our aggregate annualized base rent (“ABR”) as of
December 31, 2018
. As of
December 31, 2018
, our real estate investments in Florida and California represented
12.0%
and
10.1%
of our ABR, respectively. As a result, the geographic concentration of our portfolio makes it particularly susceptible to adverse economic or weather developments in the real estate markets of Florida or California.

18. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
|
The following describes the methods we use to estimate the fair value of our financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities:
Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, and Accounts Payable
—We consider the carrying values of these financial instruments to approximate fair value because of the short period of time between origination of the instruments and their expected realization.
Real Estate Investments
—The purchase prices of the investment properties, including related lease intangible assets and liabilities, were allocated at estimated fair value based on Level 3 inputs, such as discount rates, capitalization rates, comparable sales, replacement costs, income and expense growth rates, and current market rents and allowances as determined by management.
Debt Obligations
—We estimate the fair value of our debt by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at rates currently offered for similar debt instruments of comparable maturities by our lenders using Level 3 inputs. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assuming the
F-31
debt is outstanding through maturity and considering the debt’s collateral (if applicable). We have utilized market information, as available, or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed.

Derivative Instruments
—As of
December 31, 2018
and
2017
, we had interest rate swaps that fixed LIBOR on portions of our unsecured term loan facilities.
All interest rate swap agreements are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts (or payments) and the discounted expected variable cash payments (or receipts). The variable cash payments (or receipts) are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although we determined that the significant inputs used to value our derivatives fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our counterparties and our own credit risk utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. However, as of December 31,
2018
and
2017
, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Earn-out
—The terms of the PELP transaction include an earn-out structure with an opportunity for up to an additional
12.5 million
OP units to be issued to PELP as additional consideration if certain milestones are achieved. The milestones are related to a liquidity event for our stockholders and fundraising targets in PECO III, of which PELP was a co-sponsor.
We estimate the fair value of this liability using weighted-average probabilities of likely outcomes. These estimates require us to make various assumptions about future share prices, timing of liquidity events, equity raise projections, and other items that are unobservable and are considered Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy. In calculating the fair value of this liability, we have determined that the range of potential outcomes still includes a possibility of no additional OP units issued as well as up to
8.0 million
out of the maximum
12.5 million
units being issued.
F-32
Real Estate Asset Impairment
—Our real estate assets are measured and recognized at fair value on a nonrecurring basis dependent upon when we determine an impairment has occurred. In 2018, we impaired assets that were under contract or actively marketed for sale at a disposition price that was less than carrying value, or had other operational impairment indicators. During the year ended
December 31, 2018
, we recorded impairments of
$40.8 million
. Two of the impaired real estate assets were disposed of before year end. The valuation technique used for the fair value of all impaired real estate assets was the expected net sales proceeds. We determined that valuation to fall under Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. We did not have any impaired real estate assets during the year ended December 31, 2017.

Amendment to
PELP Transaction Contribution Agreement
—On
March 12, 2019
, the Company entered into an amendment (the “Amendment”) to the terms of the earn-out provisions set forth in the Contribution Agreement, dated as of
May 18, 2017
, between the Company, the Operating Partnership and the contributors listed therein (the “Contribution Agreement”), originally entered into in connection with the PELP transaction. The earn-out provisions provided, in relevant part, that the contributors would have the right to receive a minimum of
3 million
and a maximum of
5 million
OP Units as contingent consideration if a “liquidity event” (as defined in the Contribution Agreement) was successfully achieved by the Company by
December 31, 2019
, with reduced amounts payable if a liquidity event was achieved in
2020
or
2021
. Pursuant to the terms of the amendment, the initial earn-out term has been extended by two years through
December 31, 2021
and the threshold for the maximum payout of
5 million
units has been raised to
$11.20
per share from
$10.20
per share.
Performance LTIP Units
—On
March 12, 2019
, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) approved a new form of award agreement under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2010 Long-Term
F-33
Incentive Plan for performance-based long term incentive units (“Performance LTIP Units”) and made one-time grants of Performance LTIP Units to each of Jeffrey S. Edison, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and President, and Devin Murphy, the Company’s Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer. Mr. Edison’s award is for a maximum grant of approximately
1.4 million
units based on performance conditions over a
7
year period. Mr. Murphy’s award is for a maximum grant of approximately
0.7 million
units based on performance conditions over a
5
year period.
