NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentations

Organization

RPT Realty, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company” or “RPT”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the business of owning and operating a national portfolio of dynamic open-air shopping destinations principally located in the top U.S. markets. The Company's locally-curated consumer experience reflects the lifestyles of its diverse neighborhoods and match the modern expectation of its retail partners. The Company is a fully integrated and self-administered REIT publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RPT. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company's portfolio consisted of 49 shopping centers (including one shopping center owned through a joint venture) representing 11.9 million square feet. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company’s aggregate portfolio was 94.8% leased.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our majority owned subsidiary, the operating partnership, RPT Realty, L.P. (the "OP") ( 97.7% owned by the Company at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 ), and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, including entities in which we have a controlling financial interest.

We have elected to be a REIT for federal income tax purposes. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information furnished is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .

The preparation of our unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and reported amounts that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the prior period have been reclassified in order to conform with the current period’s presentation. The Company reclassified $0.7 million of expense associated with property related employee compensation and benefits from General and administrative expense to Non-recoverable operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2018-07, “Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting,” which expanded the scope of Topic 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation (which previously only included share-based payments to employees) to include share-based payments issued to nonemployees for goods or services. Consequently, the accounting for share-based payments to nonemployees and employees is now substantially aligned. This standard became effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Page 7

In February 2016, the FASB updated ASC Topic 842 “Leases” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to record operating and financing leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and lessors to expense costs that are not incremental direct leasing costs. In addition, the following ASUs were subsequently issued related to ASC Topic 842, all of which were effective with ASU 2016-02:

•

In January 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842”. The standard provides an optional transition practical expedient for the adoption of ASU 2016-02 that, if elected, does not require an organization to reconsider its accounting for existing land easements that are not currently accounted for under the old leases standard.


•	In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases,” which affects narrow aspects of the guidance issued in the amendments in ASU 2016-02.

•

In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, “Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements,” which provides lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance (Topic 606) and certain criteria are met. The guidance also provides an optional transition method which would allow entities to initially apply the new guidance in the period of adoption, recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, if necessary.


•	In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20, “Leases (Topic 842): Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors,” which addresses specific issues in the leasing guidance, including sales taxes and other similar taxes collected from lessees, certain lessor costs paid directly by lessees, and recognition of variable payments for contracts with lease and non-lease components.

This standard became effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within that fiscal year. The Company has elected the practical expedients allowable under ASU 2018-01 and ASU 2018-11, which included the optional transition method permitting January 1, 2019 to be its initial application date. On January 1, 2019, the Company elected the single component practical expedient, which requires a lessor, by class of underlying asset, not to allocate the total consideration to the lease and non-lease components based on their relative stand-alone selling prices. This single component practical expedient requires the Company to account for the lease component and non-lease component(s) associated with that lease as a single component if (i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease component and the non-lease component(s) associated with it are the same and (ii) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if it were accounted for separately. If these criteria are met, and the lease component is predominant, the lease is accounted for under ASC 842. As a result of this assessment, minimum rent and recovery income from the lease of real estate assets that qualify for this expedient are accounted for as a single component under ASC 842, with recovery income primarily as variable consideration. The Company’s operating leases commencing or modified after January 1, 2019, for which the Company is the lessor, qualify for the single component practical expedient accounting under ASC 842. Based on the Company’s election of available practical expedients, the Company’s existing operating leases whereby it is the lessor continue to be accounted for as operating leases under ASC 842.

However, ASC 842 changed certain requirements regarding lease classification for lessors that could result in the Company classifying certain future leases transacted or modified subsequent to adoption of the standard, particularly long-term ground leases, as sales-type or direct financing leases as opposed to operating leases.

Prior to the adoption of ASC 842, the Company recognized tenant recovery income regardless of whether the third party was paid by the lessor or lessee. Effective January 1, 2019, such tenant recoveries are only recognized to the extent that the Company pays the third party directly and are classified as rental income on the Company’s condensed consolidated income statement. Under ASC 842, lessors are required to continually assess collectibility of lessee payments and, if operating lease payments are not probable of collection, to only recognize into income the lesser of (i) straight-line rental income or (ii) lease payments received to date. Additionally, only incremental direct leasing costs are now capitalized under this new guidance, and the Company recognized a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $0.3 million to shareholders' equity, primarily related to certain costs associated with unexecuted leases that were deferred as of the adoption date.

For leases where the Company is a lessee, primarily the Company’s ground lease and administrative office leases, the Company recorded an operating lease liability of $16.6 million and a operating lease right-of-use asset of $18.0 million upon adoption, which were initially measured at the present value of future lease payments. The right-of-use asset was recorded net of our existing straight-line rent liability and ground lease intangible asset. The present value of future lease payments was discounted using our incremental borrowing rate on a collateralized basis over a similar term in a similar environment. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, the Company has made a policy election to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets. For our existing ground and office operating leases, we have continued to recognize straight-line rent expense within non-recoverable operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, respectively, within our condensed consolidated statement of operations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Disclosure Framework—Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement,” which amends ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement. ASU 2018-13 modified the disclosure requirements for fair value measurements by removing, modifying or adding certain disclosures. This standard is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-04 “Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment” (“ASU 2017-04”). ASU 2017-04 simplifies the accounting for goodwill impairment by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test, which requires a hypothetical purchase price allocation. ASU 2017-04 is effective for annual or interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and should be applied on a prospective basis. Early adoption is permitted for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. The adoption of ASU 2017-04 is not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In June 2016, the FASB updated Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 326 “Financial Instruments - Credit Losses” with ASU 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 enhances the methodology of measuring expected credit losses to include the use of forward-looking information to better inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2019, including interim periods within that fiscal year. In addition, in November 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of the credit losses standard, but rather, should be accounted for in accordance with the leases standard. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Real Estate

Included in our net real estate assets are income producing properties that are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, construction in progress and land available for development.

We review our investment in real estate, including any related intangible assets, for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the property may not be recoverable. These changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in occupancy, rental rates, net operating income, real estate values and expected holding period.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , we recorded no impairment provision.

Land available for development includes real estate projects where vertical construction has yet to commence, but which have been identified by us and are available for future development when market conditions dictate the demand for a new shopping center or outparcel pad. The viability of all projects under construction or development is regularly evaluated under applicable accounting requirements, including requirements relating to abandonment of assets or changes in use. Land available for development was $28.3 million and $29.5 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively.

Construction in progress represents existing development, redevelopment and tenant build-out projects. When projects are substantially complete and ready for their intended use, balances are transferred to land or building and improvements as appropriate. Construction in progress was $19.5 million and $23.7 million at March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively. The decrease in construction in progress from December 31, 2018 to March 31, 2019 was due primarily to property dispositions and the completion of ongoing expansion projects, partially offset by capital expenditures for ongoing projects.

Pursuant to the criteria established under ASC Topic 360 we classify properties as held for sale when executed purchase and sales agreement contingencies have been satisfied thereby signifying that the sale is legally binding and probable of closing within one year of the reporting date. As of March 31, 2019 , and December 31, 2018 , we had no properties and no land parcels classified as held for sale.

	Total	$	117,127				$	118,009

The fixed rate mortgages are secured by properties that have an approximate net book value of $180.3 million as of March 31, 2019 .

The mortgage loans encumbering our properties are generally nonrecourse, subject to certain exceptions for which we would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions vary from loan to loan but generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly and certain environmental liabilities. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy

Page 13

petition by the borrower, we would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, including penalties and expenses.

We have entered into a mortgage loan which is secured by multiple properties and contains cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions. Cross-collateralization provisions allow a lender to foreclose on multiple properties in the event that we default under the loan. Cross-default provisions allow a lender to foreclose on the related property in the event a default is declared under another loan.

Junior Subordinated Notes

Our junior subordinated notes have a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.30% . The maturity date is January 2038.

Covenants

Our unsecured revolving credit facility, senior unsecured notes, and unsecured term loan facilities contain financial covenants relating to total leverage, fixed charge coverage ratio, unencumbered assets, tangible net worth and various other calculations. As of March 31, 2019 , we were in compliance with these covenants.

6. Fair Value

We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Derivative instruments (interest rate swaps) are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, we, from time to time, may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes three fair value levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The assessed inputs used in determining any fair value measurement could result in incorrect valuations that could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. These levels are:


Level 1	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.


Level 2	Valuation is based upon prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.


Level 3	Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

Page 14

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

All of our derivative instruments are interest rate swaps for which quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, we measure fair value on a recurring basis using valuation models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves. We classify these instruments as Level 2. Refer to Note 7 Derivative Financial Instruments of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our derivative financial instruments.

The table below presents the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .



		Total Fair Value		Level 2
	Balance Sheet Location	Total Fair Value		Level 2
March 31, 2019		(In thousands)
Derivative assets - interest rate swaps	Other assets	$	2,576	$	2,576
Derivative liabilities - interest rate swaps	Other liabilities	$	—	$	—
December 31, 2018
Derivative assets - interest rate swaps	Other assets	$	4,115	$	4,115
Derivative liabilities - interest rate swaps	Other liabilities	$	—	$	—

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

We estimated the fair value of our debt based on our incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assume the debt is outstanding through maturity and consider the debt’s collateral (if applicable). Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions (Level 3), there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument.

Fixed rate debt (including variable rate debt swapped to fixed through derivatives) with carrying values of $934.5 million and $935.1 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 , respectively, had fair values of approximately $942.4 million and $928.2 million , respectively. Variable rate debt’s fair value is estimated to be the carrying values of $28.1 million as of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018 .

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:

Net Real Estate

Our net investment in real estate, including any identifiable intangible assets, is subject to impairment testing on a nonrecurring basis. To estimate fair value, we use discounted cash flow models that include assumptions of the discount rates that market participants would use in pricing the asset or pricing from potential or comparable market transactions. To the extent impairment has occurred, we charge to expense the excess of the carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value. We classify impaired real estate assets as nonrecurring Level 3. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we did not incur any impairment for income producing shopping centers that are required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. We did not have any material liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the period.

Page 15

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

We utilize interest rate swap agreements for risk management purposes to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt. We may also enter into forward starting swaps to set the effective interest rate on planned variable rate financing. On the date we enter into an interest rate swap, the derivative is designated as a hedge against the variability of cash flows that are to be paid in connection with a recognized liability. Subsequent changes in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is determined to be effective are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. The differential between fixed and variable rates to be paid or received is accrued, as interest rates change, and recognized currently as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Our cash flow hedges become ineffective, for example, if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates and calculation period and LIBOR rate. At March 31, 2019 , all of our hedges were effective.

The following table summarizes the notional values and fair values of our derivative financial instruments as of March 31, 2019 :

10. Share-based Compensation Plans

As of March 31, 2019 , we have two share-based compensation plans in effect: 1) the 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2012 LTIP”) under which our compensation committee may grant, subject to any Company performance conditions as specified by the compensation committee, restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards to trustees, officers and other key employees; and 2) the Inducement Incentive Plan (“Inducement Plan”), which was approved by the Board of Trustees in April 2018 and under which our compensation committee may grant, subject to any Company performance conditions as specified by the compensation committee, restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards to individuals who were not previously employees or members of the Board as an inducement to the individual’s entry into employment with the Company. The 2012 LTIP allows us to issue up to 2.0 million common shares of beneficial interest, of which 0.6 million remained available for issuance as of March 31, 2019 . The Inducement Plan allows us to issue up to 6.0 million common shares of beneficial interest, of which 5.4 million remained available for issuance as of March 31, 2019 .

As of March 31, 2019 , we had 312,997 unvested service-based share awards granted under the 2012 LTIP and 218,955 unvested service-based share awards granted under the Inducement Plan. These awards have various expiration dates through March 2023.

Page 19

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we granted the following awards:


•	207,230 shares of service-based restricted stock. The service-based awards were valued based on our closing stock price as of the grant date; and


•	performance-based equity awards that are earned subject to a future performance measurement based on a three -year shareholder return peer comparison (“TSR Grants”).

The service-based restricted share awards to employees vest over three years or five years and the compensation expense is recognized on a graded vesting basis. The service-based restricted share awards to trustees vest over one year . We recognized expense related to service-based restricted share grants of $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , respectively.

Pursuant to ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, we determine the grant date fair value of TSR Grants that will be settled in cash, and any subsequent re-measurements, based upon a Monte Carlo simulation model. We will recognize the compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period. We are required to re-value the cash awards at the end of each quarter using the same methodology as was used at the initial grant date and adjust the compensation expense accordingly. If at the end of the three -year measurement period the performance criterion is not met, compensation expense related to the cash awards previously recognized would be reversed. Compensation expense (benefit) related to the cash awards was $(0.3) million and $0.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , respectively. The weighted average assumptions used in the Monte Carlo simulation models are summarized in the following table:



	March 31, 2019			December 31, 2018
Closing share price	$	12.01		$	11.95
Expected dividend rate	7.3		%	7.4		%
Expected stock price volatility	23.2% - 25.2%			24.9		%
Risk-free interest rate	2.2% - 2.4%			2.6		%
Expected life (years)	0.75 - 2.75			1.00

The Company also determines the grant date fair value of the TSR Grants that will be settled in equity based upon a Monte Carlo simulation model and recognizes the compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period. These equity awards are not re-valued at the end of each quarter. The compensation cost will be recognized regardless of whether the performance criterion are met, provided the requisite service has been provided. Compensation expense related to the equity awards was $0.5 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , respectively. The fair value of each grant for the reported periods is estimated on the date of grant using the Monte Carlo simulation model using the weighted average assumptions noted in the following table.



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
Closing share price	$	12.05		$	11.89
Expected dividend rate	7.3		%	7.4		%
Expected stock price volatility	22.9		%	21.5		%
Risk-free interest rate	2.5		%	2.3		%
Expected life (years)	2.85			2.85

We recognized total share-based compensation expense of $1.0 million and $0.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , respectively.

As of March 31, 2019 , we had $9.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares and performance based equity and cash awards. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.4 years.

11. Taxes

Income Taxes

We conduct our operations with the intent of meeting the requirements applicable to a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain, to our shareholders. As long as we qualify as a REIT, we will generally not be liable for federal corporate income taxes.

Certain of our operations, including property management and asset management, as well as ownership of certain land, are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) which allows us to provide certain services and conduct certain activities that are not generally considered as qualifying REIT activities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the bases of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the amount where realization is more likely than not assured after considering all available evidence, including expected taxable earnings and potential tax planning strategies. Our temporary differences primarily relate to deferred compensation, depreciation, land basis differences, and net operating loss carry forwards.

As of March 31, 2019 , we had a federal and state deferred tax asset of $7.6 million and a valuation allowance of $7.6 million . Our deferred tax assets are reduced by an offsetting valuation allowance where there is uncertainty regarding their realizability. We believe that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will not generate sufficient taxable income to recognize the deferred tax assets. These future operations are primarily dependent upon the profitability of our TRSs, the timing and amounts of gains on land sales, and other factors affecting the results of operations of the TRSs.

If in the future we are able to conclude it is more likely than not that we will realize a future benefit from a deferred tax asset, we will reduce the related valuation allowance by the appropriate amount. The first time this occurs, it will result in a net deferred tax asset on our balance sheet and an income tax benefit of equal magnitude in our consolidated statement of operations in the period we make the determination.

Income tax provisions recorded for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 were negligible.

Sales Taxes

We collect various taxes from tenants and remit these amounts, on a net basis, to the applicable taxing authorities.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

Construction Costs

In connection with the development and expansion of various shopping centers as of March 31, 2019 , we had entered into agreements for construction costs of approximately $7.2 million .

Litigation

From time to time, we are involved in certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business; however, we do not believe that any of this litigation will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Development Obligations

As of March 31, 2019 , the Company has $2.2 million of development related obligations that require annual payments through December 2034.

Page 21

Guarantee

A redevelopment agreement was entered into between the City of Jacksonville, the Jacksonville Economic Development Commission and the Company, to construct and develop River City Marketplace in 2005. As part of the agreement, the city agreed to finance up to $12.2 million of bonds. Repayment of the bonds is to be made in accordance with a level-payment amortization schedule over 20 years, and repayments are made out of tax revenues generated by the redevelopment. The remaining debt service payments due over the life of the bonds, including principal and interest, are $10.3 million . As part of the redevelopment, the Company executed a guaranty agreement whereby the Company would fund debt service payments if incremental tax revenues were not sufficient to fund repayment. There have been no payments made by the Company under this guaranty agreement to date.

Environmental Matters

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

As part of our risk management activities, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs which will expedite and assure satisfactory compliance with environmental laws and regulations should contaminants need to be remediated. We also have an environmental insurance policy that covers us against third party liabilities and remediation

costs.

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

13. Subsequent Events

On April 30, 2019, we prepaid the outstanding balance of our $28.1 million junior subordinated note. The unamortized deferred financing costs at payoff approximated $0.6 million .

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

Where we say "we," "us," or "our," we mean RPT Realty, RPT Realty, L.P., and/or its subsidiaries, as the context may require.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the respective notes thereto, which are included in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations, plans or beliefs concerning future events and may be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “predict” or similar terms. Although the forward-looking statements made in this document are based on our good faith beliefs, reasonable assumptions and our best judgment based upon current information, certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including: our success or failure in implementing our business strategy; economic conditions generally and in the commercial real estate and finance markets specifically; the cost and availability of capital, which depends in part on our asset quality and our relationships with lenders and other capital providers; our business prospects and outlook; changes in governmental regulations, tax rates and similar matters; our continuing to qualify as a REIT; and other factors detailed from time to time in our filings with the SEC, including in particular those set forth under “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 . Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Overview

We own and operate a national portfolio of dynamic open-air shopping destinations principally located in the top U.S. markets. The Company's locally-curated consumer experience reflect the lifestyles of its diverse neighborhoods and match the modern expectation of its retail partners. The Company is a fully integrated and self-administered REIT publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the ticker symbol RPT. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company's portfolio consisted of 49 shopping centers (including one shopping center owned through a joint venture) representing 11.9 million square feet. As of March 31, 2019 , the Company’s aggregate portfolio was 94.8% leased.

Our Strategy

Our goal is to be a dominant shopping center owner, with a focus on the following:


•	Own and manage high quality open-air shopping centers predominantly concentrated in the top U.S. metro areas;


•	Maintain a value creation redevelopment and expansion pipeline;


•	Maximize balance sheet liquidity and flexibility; and


•	Retain motivated, talented and high performing employees.

Key methods to achieve our strategy:


•	Deliver above average relative shareholder return and generate outsized consistent and sustainable same property NOI and Operating FFO per share growth;


•	Pursue selective redevelopment projects with significant pre-leasing for which we expect to achieve attractive returns on investment;


•	Sell assets that no longer meet our long-term strategy and redeploy the proceeds to lease, redevelop and acquire assets in our core markets;


•	Achieve lower leverage while maintaining low variable interest rate risk; and


•	Retain access to diverse sources of capital, maintain liquidity through borrowing capacity under our unsecured line of credit and minimize the amount of debt maturities in a single year.

We accomplished the following activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019 :

Leasing Activity

For our consolidated properties we reported the following leasing activity:



	Leasing Transactions	Square Footage	Base Rent/SF ⁽¹⁾	Prior Rent/SF ⁽²⁾	Tenant Improvements/SF ⁽³⁾	Leasing Commissions/SF
Renewals	36	268,935	$17.09	$15.23	$0.56	$0.00
New Leases - Comparable	10	37,894	$27.36	$19.32	$72.02	$9.47
New Leases - Non-Comparable ⁽⁴⁾	14	176,110	$11.20	N/A	$24.10	$5.04
Total	60	482,939	$15.75	N/A	$14.75	$2.58


⁽¹⁾	Base rent represents contractual minimum rent under the new lease for the first 12 months of the term.


⁽²⁾	Prior rent represents minimum rent, if any, paid by the prior tenant in the final 12 months of the term.


⁽³⁾	Includes tenant improvement cost, tenant allowances, and landlord costs. Excludes first generation space and new leases related to development and redevelopment activity.


⁽⁴⁾	Non-comparable lease transactions include leases for space vacant for greater than 12 months, leases for space which has been combined from smaller spaces or demised from larger spaces and leases structured differently from the prior lease. As a result, there is no comparable prior rent per square foot to compare to the base rent per square foot of the new lease.

Page 24

Investing Activity

At March 31, 2019 , we have three properties where there is a pad development or GLA expansion that have an aggregate estimated cost of $5.7 million , of which $2.3 million remains to be invested. Completion for these projects is expected over the next twelve months.

Financing Activity

Debt

As of March 31, 2019 , we had net debt to total market capitalization of 44.9% as compared to 48.2% at March 31, 2018 . The decrease is attributable to a decrease in net debt of $148.3 million primarily as a result of repayments using proceeds from property disposals completed in the last six months, partially offset by a decrease in the price of our common shares of 2.8%, which decreased our total market capitalization.

At March 31, 2019 and March 31, 2018 , we had $349.8 million and $294.3 million, respectively, available to draw under our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Equity

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we did not issue any common shares through our equity distribution arrangement. The shares issuable are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on our registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-211925).

Land Available for Development

At March 31, 2019 , our three largest development sites are Hartland Towne Square, Lakeland Park Center and Parkway Shops. We continue to evaluate the best use for land available for development, portions of which are adjacent to our existing shopping centers. It is our policy to start vertical construction on new development projects only after the project has received entitlements, significant anchor commitments and construction financing, if appropriate.

Our development and construction activities are subject to risks such as our inability to obtain the necessary governmental approvals for a project, our determination that the expected return on a project is not sufficient to warrant continuation of the planned development, or our change in plan or scope for the development. If any of these events occur, we may record an impairment provision.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including policies for the initial adoption of accounting policies, revenue recognition and accounts receivable, real estate investment, off balance sheet arrangements, fair value measurements and deferred charges.

Comparison of three months ended March 31, 2019 to March 31, 2018

The following summarizes certain line items from our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations that we believe are important in understanding our operations and/or have significantly changed in the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the same period in 2018 :



	Three Months Ended March 31,

Preferred share dividends	1,675		1,675		—			—	%

Total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decrease d $3.0 million , or (4.8)% , from 2018 . The decrease is primarily due to the following:


•	$5.9 million decrease related to properties sold in 2018 and 2019; partially offset by a


•	$2.5 million increase related to our existing centers largely attributable to higher minimum rent primarily from occupancy gains and contractual rent increases and higher recovery income mainly as a result of an increase in recoverable expenses, and a


•	$0.5 increase in other property income mainly attributable to a tenant bankruptcy and a lease termination fee.

Real estate tax expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decrease d $0.3 million , or (3.3)% from 2018 , primarily due to properties sold during the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by higher net expense at our existing properties and lower capitalized real estate tax.

Recoverable operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decrease d $0.1 million , or (1.8)% from 2018 , primarily due to properties sold during the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019, partially offset by higher common area maintenance expenses at existing properties.

Non-recoverable operating expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increase d $0.8 million , or 45.4% from 2018 , primarily due to higher internal leasing costs as a result of the adoption of ASC 842 which eliminated the capitalization of these costs in the current year.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decrease d $1.9 million , or (9.0)% , from 2018 . The decrease is primarily a result of properties sold during the fourth quarter of 2018 and the first quarter of 2019.

General and administrative expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased $0.9 million or 17.2% from 2018 . The net increase was primarily due to the following:


•	$0.7 million increase in bonus compensation as a result of a below-target payout in the first quarter of 2018 coupled with an above-target payout in the first quarter of 2019;


•	$0.5 million increase in share-based compensation expense primarily as a result of a one-time inducement equity award in 2018 to our newly hired Chief Executive Officer; partially offset by a


•	$0.4 million decrease in executive recruiting fees.

Page 26

The Company had gains on real estate disposals of $5.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2019 , generated from two shopping centers. Refer to Note 3 of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further detail on dispositions.

Earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2019 remained flat from the comparable period in 2018 .

Interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2019 decrease d $0.3 million , or (2.4)% , from 2018 , primarily as a result of a 5.9% decrease in our average outstanding debt, offset partially by lower capitalized interest. The decline in our average outstanding debt is the result of using proceeds from asset sales in the second half of 2018 to paydown our revolving credit line.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our primary uses of capital include principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, ongoing capital expenditures such as leasing capital expenditures and building improvements, shareholder distributions, operating expenses of our business, debt maturities, acquisitions and discretionary capital expenditures such as targeted remerchandising, expansions, redevelopment and development. We generally strive to cover our principal and interest payments, operating expenses, shareholder distributions, and ongoing capital expenditures from cash flow from operations, although from time to time we have borrowed or sold assets to finance a portion of those uses. We believe the combination of cash flow from operations, cash balances, available borrowings under our unsecured revolving credit facility, issuance of long-term debt, property dispositions, and issuance of equity securities will provide adequate capital resources to fund all of our expected uses over at least the next 12 months. Although we believe that the combination of factors discussed above will provide sufficient liquidity, no such assurance can be given.

We believe our current capital structure provides us with the financial flexibility to fund our current capital needs. We intend to continue to enhance our financial and operational flexibility by extending the duration of our debt, laddering our debt maturities, expanding our unencumbered asset base, and improving our leverage profile. In addition, we believe we have access to multiple forms of capital which includes unsecured corporate debt, and preferred and common equity, including our at-the-market equity program we have in place.

At March 31, 2019 and 2018 , we had $ 88.3 million and $15.5 million , respectively, in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Restricted cash generally consists of funds held in escrow by lenders to pay real estate taxes, insurance premiums and certain capital expenditures. As of March 31, 2019 we had no debt maturing for the remainder of 2019 and we had $349.8 million available to be drawn on our $350.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility subject to our compliance with certain covenants.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay indebtedness at maturity, potential acquisitions of properties, redevelopment of existing properties, the development of land and discretionary capital expenditures. We continually search for investment opportunities that may require additional capital and/or liquidity. We will continue to pursue the strategy of selling non-core properties or land that no longer meet our investment criteria. Our ability to obtain acceptable selling prices and satisfactory terms and financing will impact the timing of future sales. We anticipate using net proceeds from the sale of properties or land to reduce outstanding debt and support current and future growth oriented initiatives. To the extent that asset sales are not sufficient to meet our long-term liquidity needs, we expect to meet such needs by raising debt or issuing equity.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , our cash flows were as follows compared to the same period in 2018 :



	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2019			2018
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	13,876		$	27,548
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	50,200			(29,181		)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(20,485		)	4,271

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities decreased $13.7 million in 2019 compared to 2018 primarily due to the following:


•	Decrease of approximately $4.5 million, as a result of shopping centers sold in 2018 and 2019; and

Page 27


•	Decrease of $9.4 million in working capital assets and liabilities due mainly to timing differences in the collection of receipts and the disbursement of obligations.

Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $50.2 million in 2019 compared to net cash used in investing activities of $29.2 million in 2018 . The $79.4 million change in net cash provided by (used in) investing activities was primarily because:


•	Net proceeds from the sale of real estate increased $67.0 million ;


•	Acquisitions of real estate decreased $6.4 million ; and


•	Development and capital improvements decreased $6.1 million .

At March 31, 2019 , we had three properties where there is a pad development GLA expansion that have an aggregate estimated cost of $5.7 million , of which $2.3 million remains to be invested. Completion for these projects is expected over the next twelve months.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019 we sold two properties for aggregate net proceeds of $67.0 million . Refer to Note 3 Property Acquisitions and Dispositions of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to dispositions.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increase d $ 24.8 million compared to 2018 primarily because net borrowings on our revolving credit facility decrease d $25.0 million .

As of March 31, 2019 , $349.8 million was available to be drawn on our $350.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility subject to our compliance with certain covenants. It is anticipated that additional funds borrowed under our credit facilities will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, the repayment of indebtedness or other corporate activities. For further information on the credit facility and other debt, refer to Note 5 Debt of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Dividends and Equity

We currently qualify, and intend to continue to qualify in the future, as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code ("Code"). As a REIT, we must distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income annually, excluding net capital gains. Distributions paid are at the discretion of our Board of Trustees and depend on our actual net income available to common shareholders, cash flow, financial condition, capital requirements, restrictions in financing arrangements, the annual distribution requirements under REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as our Board of Trustees deems relevant.

On February 5, 2019 our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.22 per common share to shareholders of record as of March 20, 2019 . Additionally, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.90625 per preferred share to preferred shareholders of record as of March 20, 2019 . Our dividend policy is to make distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains, in order to maintain qualification as a REIT. On an annualized basis, our current dividend is above our estimated minimum required distribution. Distributions paid by us are generally expected to be funded from cash flows from operating activities. To the extent that cash flows from operating activities are insufficient to pay total distributions for any period, alternative funding sources are used. Examples of alternative funding sources include proceeds from sales of real estate and bank borrowings. During the three months ended March 31, 2019 , the sum of our principal and interest payments, operating expenses, shareholder distributions and ongoing capital expenditures exceeded our cash flow from operations by $12.1 million, and we used other sources of liquidity, including a portion of the proceeds from asset sales, to meet our cash requirements. The $12.1 million shortfall was primarily the result of a $13.7 million year-over-year decrease in net cash provided by operating activities due mainly to timing differences in the collection and disbursement of working capital items and asset sales in the fourth quarter of 2018 and first quarter of 2019.

We have an equity distribution agreement pursuant to which we may sell up to an aggregate of 8.0 million common shares from time to time, in our sole discretion in an at-the-market equity program. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 , we did not issue any common shares through the arrangement. The sale of such shares issuable pursuant to the distribution agreement is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on our registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-211925).

Debt

At March 31, 2019 , we had $962.6 million of debt outstanding consisting of $610.0 million in senior unsecured notes, $210.0 million of unsecured term loan facilities, $114.5 million of fixed rate mortgage loans encumbering certain properties, $28.1 million of junior subordinated notes and $0.0 million on our revolving credit facility.

In addition, we had interest rate swap derivative instruments in effect for an aggregate notional amount of $210.0 million converting a portion of our floating rate corporate debt to fixed rate debt. After taking into account the impact of converting our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt by use of the interest rate swap agreements, at March 31, 2019 , we had $28.1 million of variable rate debt outstanding.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Real Estate Joint Ventures

We consolidate entities in which we own less than 100% equity interest if we have a controlling interest or are the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity, as defined in the Consolidation Topic of FASB ASC 810. From time to time, we enter into joint venture arrangements from which we believe we can benefit by owning a partial interest in one or more properties.

As of March 31, 2019 , our investments in unconsolidated joint ventures were approximately $ 1.6 million representing our ownership inter est in three join t ventures. We account for these entities under the equity method. Refer to Note 4 Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

We review our equity investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment on a venture-by-venture basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the equity investment may not be recoverable. In testing for impairment of these equity investments, we primarily use cash flow models, discount rates, and capitalization rates to estimate the fair value of properties held in joint ventures, and we also estimate the fair value of the debt of the joint ventures based on borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity. Considerable judgment by management is applied when determining whether an equity investment in an unconsolidated entity is impaired and, if so, the amount of the impairment. Changes to assumptions regarding cash flows, discount rates, or capitalization rates could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are engaged by our joint ventures to provide asset management, property management, leasing and investing services for such venture’s respective properties. We receive fees for our services, including a property management fee calculated as a percentage of gross revenues received.

Debt

See the analysis of our debt included in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Employment Contracts

At March 31, 2019 , we had employment contract obligations with our Chief Executive Officer, Chief Financial Officer, former Chief Executive Officer and former Chief Operating Officer that contain minimum guaranteed compensation. All other employees are subject to at-will employment.

Operating and Finance Leases

We have an operating ground lease at Centennial Shops located in Edina, Minnesota. The lease includes rent escalations throughout the lease period and expires in April 2105.

We have an operating lease for our 29,802 square foot corporate office in Farmington Hills, Michigan, and an operating lease for our 5,629 square foot corporate office in New York, New York. These leases are set to expire in August 2019 and January 2024, respectively.

We also have a ground finance lease at our Buttermilk Towne Center with the City of Crescent Springs, Kentucky. The lease provides for fixed annual payments of $0.1 million through maturity in December 2032, at which time we can acquire the land for one dollar.

Construction Costs

In connection with the pad development and expansion of various shopping centers as of March 31, 2019 , we have entered into agreements for construction activities with an aggregate remaining cost of approximately $7.2 million .

Page 30

Planned Capital Spending

We are focused on our core strengths of enhancing the value of our existing portfolio of shopping centers through successful leasing efforts and the completion of our pad development and expansion projects currently in process.

For remainder of 2019 , we anticipate spending betwee n $35.0 million and $40.0 million for capital expenditures, of which $7.2 million is reflected in the construction commitments in the contractual obligations table. The total anticipated spending relates to leasing capital expenditures, building improvements, targeted remerchandising, outlots, expansions, development and redevelopment. Estimates for future spending will change as new projects are approved.

Capitalization

At March 31, 2019 our total market capitalization was $2.0 billion and is detailed below:



	(In thousands)
Notes payable, net	$	962,433
Add: Unamortized premiums and deferred financing costs	172
Finance lease obligation	975
Less: Cash and cash equivalents	(85,016		)
Net debt	$	878,564

Common shares outstanding	79,757
Operating Partnership Units outstanding	1,909
Restricted share awards (treasury method)	187
Total common shares and equivalents	81,853
Market price per common share (at March 31, 2019)	$	12.01
Equity market capitalization	$	983,055

7.25% Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares	1,849
Market price per convertible preferred share (at March 31, 2019)	$	50.56
Convertible perpetual preferred shares (at market)	$	93,485

Total market capitalization	$	1,955,104

Net debt to total market capitalization	44.9		%

At March 31, 2019 , the non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership was approximately 2.3% . The OP Units outstanding may, under certain circumstances, be exchanged for our common shares of beneficial interest on a one-for-one basis. We, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, have the option, but not the obligation, to settle exchanged OP Units held by others in cash based on the current trading price of our common shares of beneficial interest. Assuming the exchange of all non-controlling interest OP units, there would have been approximately 81.7 million common shares of beneficial interest outstanding at March 31, 2019 , with a market value of approximately $980.8 million .

Inflation

Inflation has been relatively low in recent years and has not had a significant detrimental impact on the results of our operations. Should inflation rates increase in the future, substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require our tenants to reimburse us for real estate taxes and many of the operating expenses we incur. Also, many of our leases provide for periodic increases in base rent which are either of a fixed amount or based on changes in the consumer price index and/or percentage rents (where the tenant pays us rent based on percentage of its sales). Significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on our business.

Page 31

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

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

Funds from Operations

We consider funds from operations, also known as “FFO,” to be an appropriate supplemental measure of the financial performance of an equity REIT. Under the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts "NAREIT" definition, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property and impairment provisions on depreciable real estate or on investments in non-consolidated investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the investee, plus depreciation and amortization, (excluding amortization of financing costs). Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.

In addition to FFO available to common shareholders, we include Operating FFO available to common shareholders as an additional measure of our financial and operating performance. Operating FFO excludes acquisition costs and periodic items such as impairment provisions on land available for development or sale, bargain purchase gains, contingent gains, accelerated amortization of debt premiums and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt, land sales, severance and executive management reorganization, net that are not adjusted under the current NAREIT definition of FFO. We provide a reconciliation of FFO to Operating FFO. FFO and Operating FFO should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income available to common shareholders or as alternatives to cash flow as measures of liquidity.

While we consider FFO available to common shareholders and Operating FFO available to common shareholders useful measures for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance between periods or to compare our performance to different REITs, our computations of FFO and Operating FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other real estate companies, and therefore, may not be comparable.

We recognize the limitations of FFO and Operating FFO when compared to GAAP net income available to common shareholders. FFO and Operating FFO available to common shareholders do not represent amounts available for needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. In addition, FFO and Operating FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. FFO and Operating FFO are simply used as additional indicators of our operating performance.

⁽¹⁾	The total non-controlling interest reflects OP units convertible 1:1 into common shares.

⁽²⁾

Series D cumulative convertible perpetual preferred shares are paid annual dividends of $6.7 million and are currently convertible into approximately 6.9 million common shares. They are dilutive only when earnings or FFO exceed approximately $0.24 per diluted share per quarter, which was the case for FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 . The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment based upon a number of factors, and such adjustment could affect the dilutive impact of the Series D cumulative convertible perpetual preferred shares on earnings per share and FFO in future periods.


⁽³⁾	For 2019, largely comprised of a performance award benefit related to the Company's former chief executive officer and, for 2018, largely comprised of recruiting fees.


⁽⁴⁾	The denominator to calculate diluted earnings per share excludes shares issuable upon conversion of OP units and preferred shares for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 .

Same Property Operating Income

Same Property NOI and NOI from Other Investments are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures of real estate companies' operating performance. Same Property NOI is considered by management to be a relevant performance measure of our operations because it includes only the NOI of comparable consolidated operating properties for the reporting period. Same Property NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2019 represents NOI from the Company's same property portfolio consisting of 46 consolidated operating properties acquired or placed in service and stabilized prior to January 1, 2018 . Same Property NOI excludes properties under redevelopment or where activities have started in preparation for redevelopment. A property is designated as a redevelopment when planned improvements significantly impact the property. Same Property NOI is calculated using consolidated operating income and adjusted to exclude management and other fee income, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, provision for impairment and non-comparable income and expense adjustments such as straight-line rents, lease termination fees, above/below market rents, and other non-comparable operating income and expense adjustments. NOI from Other Investments for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018 represents NOI primarily from (i) properties disposed of during 2018 and 2019 , (ii) Webster Place and Rivertowne Square where the Company has begun activities in anticipation of future redevelopment, (iii) certain property related employee compensation and benefits expense and (iv) non-comparable operating income and expense adjustments.

Same Property NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Our method of calculating Same Property NOI may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The following is a summary of our wholly owned properties for the periods noted with consistent classification in the prior period for presentation of Same Property NOI:



	Three Months Ended March 31,
Property Designation	2019	2018
Same-property	46	46

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt obligations. Based on market conditions, we may manage our exposure to interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swap agreements to hedge our variable rate debt. We are not subject to any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk, or other material rate or price risks. Based on our variable rate debt, interest rates and interest rate swap agreements in effect at March 31, 2019 , a 100 basis point change in interest rates would impact our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.3 million annually. We believe that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our total outstanding debt by approximately $37.5 million at March 31, 2019 .

We had derivative instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $210.0 million as of March 31, 2019 . The agreements provided for swapping one-month LIBOR to fixed interest rates ranging from 1.46% to 2.15% and had expirations ranging from 2020 to 2023 . The following table sets forth information as of March 31, 2019 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled amortization payment and scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts and fair market value:



	2019			2020			2021			2022			2023			Thereafter			Total			Fair Value
	(In thousands)
Fixed-rate debt	$	1,957		$	102,269		$	114,508		$	77,397		$	129,388		$	508,961		$	934,480		$	942,400
Average interest rate	6.0		%	3.9		%	3.2		%	5.2		%	3.7		%	4.3		%	4.1		%	4.1		%
Variable-rate debt	$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	—		$	28,125		$	28,125		$	28,125
Average interest rate	—		%	—		%	—		%	—		%	—		%	6.1		%	6.1		%	6.1		%

We estimated the fair value of our fixed rate mortgages using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity. Considerable judgment is required to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. The table incorporates only those exposures that exist at March 31, 2019 and does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date or firm commitments as of such date. Therefore, the information presented therein has limited predictive value. Our actual interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period and on market interest rates at that time.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), such as this report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives, and therefore management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carried out an assessment as of March 31, 2019 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This assessment was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on such evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of March 31, 2019 .

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended March 31, 2019 , there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we are involved in certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We do not believe that any of this litigation will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements. There are no material pending governmental proceedings.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

For a discussion of our potential risks and uncertainties, see the information under the heading “ Risk Factors ” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 .

Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds

Common share repurchases during the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019 were as follows:



Period	Total Number of Shares Purchased	Average Price Paid Per Share		Total Number of Shares Purchased as Part of Publicly Announced Plans or Programs	Maximum Number of Shares that May Yet Be Purchased Under the Plans or Programs
January 1, 2019 to January 31, 2019	424	$	12.80	—	—
February 1, 2019 to February 28, 2019	485	12.74		—	—
March 1, 2019 to March 31, 2019	7,544	11.97		—	—
Total	8,453	$	12.06	—	—

During the quarterly period ended March 31, 2019 , we withheld 8,453 shares from employees to satisfy estimated statutory income tax obligations related to vesting of restricted share awards. The value of the common shares withheld was based on the closing price of our common shares on the applicable vesting date.
