Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations are generally identifiable by the use of the words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend” or “project,” or the negative thereof, or other variations thereon or comparable terminology. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that could cause our actual results and financial performance to be materially different from future results and financial performance expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements, including, but not limited to: (i) macroeconomic conditions, including due to geopolitical conditions and instability, which may lead to a disruption of or lack of access to the capital markets, disruptions and instability in the banking and financial services industries and rising inflation; (ii) our success in implementing our business strategy and our ability to identify, underwrite, finance, consummate and integrate diversifying acquisitions and investments; (iii) changes in general economic conditions or economic conditions in the markets in which we may, from time to time, compete, and their effect on our revenues, earnings and funding sources; (iv) increases in our borrowing costs as a result of rising inflation, changes in interest rates and other factors; (v) our ability to pay down, refinance, restructure or extend our indebtedness as it becomes due; (vi) our investments in joint ventures and unconsolidated entities, including our lack of sole decision-making authority and our reliance on our joint venture partners’ financial condition; (vii) our ability to obtain the financial results expected from our development and redevelopment projects; (viii) our tenants’ ability and willingness to renew their leases with us upon expiration, our ability to re-lease our properties on the same or better terms in the event of nonrenewal or in the event we exercise our right to replace an existing tenant, and obligations we may incur in connection with the replacement of an existing tenant; (ix) our potential liability for environmental matters; (x) damage to our properties from catastrophic weather and other natural events, and the physical effects of climate change; (xi) the economic, political and social impact of, and uncertainty surrounding, any public health crisis, such as the COVID-19 Pandemic, which adversely affected the Company and its tenants’ business, financial condition, results of operations and liquidity; (xii) uninsured losses; (xiii) our ability and willingness to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) in light of economic, market, legal, tax and other considerations; (xiv) information technology security breaches, including increased cybersecurity risks relating to the use of remote technology; (xv) the loss of key executives; and (xvi) the accuracy of our methodologies and estimates regarding environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) metrics, goals and targets, tenant willingness and ability to collaborate towards reporting ESG metrics and meeting ESG goals and targets, and the impact of governmental regulation on our ESG efforts.
The factors described above are not exhaustive and additional factors could adversely affect the Company’s future results and financial performance, including the risk factors discussed under the section captioned “Risk Factors” in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and other periodic or current reports the Company files with the SEC, including those set forth under the headings “Item 1A. Risk Factors” and “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Report. These risks and uncertainties should be considered in evaluating any forward-looking statements contained or incorporated by reference herein. Any forward-looking statements speak only as of the date hereof. The Company expressly disclaims any obligation or undertaking to release publicly any updates or revisions to any forward-looking statements to reflect any changes in the Company’s expectations with regard thereto or changes in the events, conditions or circumstances on which such forward-looking statements are based.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Organization
Acadia Realty Trust, (the “Trust”, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is a fully-integrated equity REIT focused on the ownership, acquisition, development, and management of retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply-constrained, densely populated metropolitan areas in the United States.
All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Trust controlled approximately 96% and 95%, respectively, of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner and is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”) and employees who have been awarded restricted Common OP Units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 13). Limited partners holding Common OP and LTIP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Shares”). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has ownership interests in 154 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through Investment Management (“Core Portfolio”). The Company also has ownership interests in 50 properties within an Investment Management platform, through which our Operating Partnership and outside institutional investors invest in primarily opportunistic and value-add retail real estate (“Investment Management”). As part of the Investment Management platform, we have active investments through the following opportunity funds, including: Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (“Fund IV”), and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund V LLC (“Fund V” and, collectively with Fund II, Fund III and Fund IV, “the Funds”). The 204 Core Portfolio and Investment Management properties primarily consist of street and urban retail and suburban shopping centers.
The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Funds and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, development, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Funds are distributed pro-rata to their respective partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a certain cumulative return (“Preferred Return”) and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership (“Promote”) and 80% to the partners or members (including the Operating Partnership). All transactions between the Funds and the Operating Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation.
The following table summarizes the general terms and Operating Partnership’s equity interests in the Funds (dollars in millions):

Basis of Presentation
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The information furnished in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items.
GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.
These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2023 consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Segment Reporting
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company renamed its historical Funds segment as the Investment Management segment. No prior period information was recast and the designation change did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 12.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement” (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. Prior to the amendment, the FASB did not provide specific authoritative guidance on the initial measurement of assets and liabilities assumed by a joint venture upon its formation. ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture to recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). ASU 2023-05 is effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected not to early adopt ASU 2023-05 and does not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.
In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 provides for additional disclosures as it relates to the Company’s segments. Additional requirements per the update include disclosures for significant segment expenses, measures of profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker and how these measures are used to allocate resources and assess segment performance. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 will also apply to entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on its disclosures and will adopt the amendments in its December 31, 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
In March 2024, the SEC issued final climate-disclosure rules to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures by public companies. With regards to financial statements, the rules requires disclosure of (i) capitalized costs, expenditures expensed, charges, and losses incurred as a result of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to applicable 1% and de minimis disclosure thresholds; (ii) capitalized costs, expenditures expensed, and losses related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates (“RECs”) if used as a material component of a company’s plans to achieve its disclosed climate-related targets or goals; and (iii) if the estimates and assumptions the Company uses to produce the financial statements were materially impacted by risks and uncertainties associated with severe weather events and other natural conditions or any disclosed climate-related targets or transition plans, a qualitative description of how the development of such estimates and assumptions was impacted. The rules are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and are to be applied prospectively. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the rules pending judicial review as a result of litigation. The Company is continuing to review the final rule and monitoring the litigation progress for possible impacts on the disclosure requirements and will adopt the required disclosures in their effective periods.
Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

The Company determines the fair value of the individual components of real estate asset acquisitions primarily through calculating the “as-if vacant” value of a building, using an income approach, which relies significantly upon internally determined assumptions. The Company has determined that these estimates primarily rely on Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. The most significant assumptions used in calculating the “as-if vacant” value for acquisition activity during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as follows:
Low
High
Exit Capitalization Rate
6.50
8.00

8.50

Annual net rental rate per square foot on acquired buildings
17.00
330.00
Annual net rental rate per square foot on acquired master lease

The estimate of the portion of the “as-if vacant” value that is allocated to the land underlying the acquired real estate relies on Level 3 inputs and is primarily determined by reference to recent comparable transactions.

On May 16, 2024, the Company sold a 95% interest in the Shops at Grand property located in Queens, NY for $48.3 million and retained a 5% ownership interest through an investment in a newly formed joint venture which was fair valued at $2.4 million. As a result of the transaction, the Company deconsolidated the property and accounted for its interest under the equity method of accounting effective May 16, 2024 as it no longer controls the investment (Note 4). The Company recognized a loss on deconsolidation of $2.2 million related to transaction costs, which is included in the Loss on disposition of properties in the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Due to the lack of comparability across the Structured Financing portfolio, each note was evaluated separately. As a result, the Company did not elect the collateral-dependent allowance for credit losses practical expedient for five of its notes with a total amortized cost of $135.2 million, inclusive of accrued interest of $24.6 million, for which an allowance for credit losses has been recorded aggregating $1.8 million as of September 30, 2024. For one note in this portfolio, of $21.6 million, inclusive of accrued interest of $3.8 million as of September 30, 2024, the Company has elected to apply the practical expedient in accordance with ASC Topic 326: Financial Instruments - Credit Losses (“ASC 326”) and did not establish an allowance for credit losses because (i) this note is a collateral-dependent note, which due to their settlement terms is not expected to be settled in cash but rather by the Company’s possession of the real estate collateral; and (ii) as of September 30, 2024, the Company determined that the estimated fair value of the collateral at the expected realization date for this loans was sufficient to cover the carrying value of its investments in this note receivable.
One Core Portfolio note of $21.6 million including accrued interest (exclusive of default interest and other amounts due on the loan that have not been recognized) was in default as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023. On April 1, 2020, the loan matured and was not repaid. The Company expects to take appropriate actions to recover the amounts due under the loan and has issued a reservation of rights letter to the borrowers and guarantor, reserving all of its rights and remedies under the applicable loan documents and otherwise. The Company has determined that the collateral for this loan is sufficient to cover the loan’s carrying value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.

Credit Facility
On September 12, 2024, the Operating Partnership and the Company entered into a Consent and Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, dated as of April 15, 2024, to amend its existing senior unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Amendment provides for an increase in the existing unsecured revolving credit facility under the Credit Facility (the “Revolver”) from $350.0 million to $525.0 million, on the same terms and conditions as the existing Revolver, which includes the capacity to issue letters of credit in an amount up to $60.0 million. The Amendment also increases the capacity limit on the accordion feature under the existing Credit Facility from $900.0 million to $1.1 billion, on the same terms and conditions otherwise set forth in the Credit Facility. The Revolver and existing $400.0 million unsecured term loan (“Term Loan”) have a maturity date of April 15, 2028, with two additional six-month extension options. Borrowings under the Revolver and the Term Loan will accrue interest at a floating rate based on SOFR with margins based on leverage or credit rating. The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Trust and certain subsidiaries of the Trust (Note 9).
Revolving Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2024, the Revolver bears interest at SOFR+1.35% and matures on April 15, 2028, subject to two six-month extension options. The outstanding balance and total available credit of the Revolver were $56.0 million and $469.0 million, respectively, as of

8. Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements
Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis
The methods and assumptions described below were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument.
Marketable Equity Securities — The Company has an investment in marketable equity securities of Albertsons, which has a readily determinable market value (traded on an exchange) and is being accounted for as a Level 1 investment. This investment was included in Marketable securities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
Derivative Financial Instruments — The Company has derivative assets, which are included in Other assets, net on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, and are comprised of interest rate swaps and caps. The Company has derivative liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable and other liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are comprised of interest rate swaps. The derivative instruments were measured at fair value using readily observable market inputs, such as quotations on interest rates, and were classified as Level 2 as these instruments are custom, over-the-counter contracts with various bank counterparties that are not traded in an active market. See “Derivative Financial Instruments,” below.
The following table presents the Company’s fair value hierarchy for those assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):
Level 1
Level 2
Level 3
Marketable equity securities
Derivative financial instruments
(10,846
(8,892
23
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The Company did not have any transfers into or out of Level 1, Level 2, and Level 3 measurements during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023.
Marketable Equity Securities
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold 150,000 shares of Albertsons, generating net proceeds of $2.9 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold 500,000 shares of Albertsons, generating net proceeds of $10.5 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company held 0.9 million shares of Albertsons which had a fair value of $17.5 million.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized dividend income from marketable securities of $0.1 million and $0.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized dividend income from marketable securities of $0.4 million and $28.9 million, of which the Company’s share was $0.4 million and $11.8 million, respectively. These amounts are included in Realized and unrealized holding (losses) gains on investments and other on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The following table represents the realized and unrealized gain (loss) on marketable securities included in Realized and unrealized holding (losses) gains on investments and other on the Company's Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):

Total asset derivatives
Total liability derivatives
All of the Company’s derivative instruments have been designated as cash flow hedges and hedge the future cash outflows on variable-rate debt (Note 7). It is estimated that approximately $9.9 million included in Accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified as a reduction to interest expense within the next twelve months. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no derivatives were designated as fair value hedges or hedges of net investments in foreign operations. Additionally, the Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated hedges.
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, from time to time, through the use of derivative financial instruments. The Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.
The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the swaps if the derivative position has a positive balance. The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into swaps with major financial institutions. The Company continually monitors and actively manages interest costs on its variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into additional interest rate swap positions or other derivative interest rate instruments based on market conditions.
Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its swap counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness, the Company could also be declared in default on its swaps, resulting in an acceleration of payment under the swaps.

9. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in various matters of litigation arising out of, or incidental to, its business. While the Company is unable to predict with certainty the outcome of any particular matter, management does not expect, when such litigation is resolved, that the Company’s resulting exposure to loss contingencies, if any, will have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position or results of operations.
Commitments and Guaranties
From time to time, the Company (or ventures in which the Company has an ownership interest) has agreed, and may in the future agree, to guarantee portions of the principal, interest and other amounts in connection with their borrowings, provide customary environmental indemnifications and nonrecourse carve-outs (e.g., guarantees against fraud, misrepresentation and bankruptcy) in connection with their borrowings and provide guarantees to lenders, tenants and other third parties for the completion of development projects.
With respect to borrowings of our consolidated entities, the Company and certain subsidiaries of the Company have guaranteed $72.5 million of principal payment guarantees on various property mortgage loans and the Fund IV secured bridge facility (Note 7). As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, no amounts related to the guarantees were recorded as liabilities in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. As of September 30, 2024, the Company had no Core or Investment Management letters of credit outstanding, and as of December 31, 2023, the Company had no Core letters of credit outstanding and had Investment Management letters of credit of $2.0 million outstanding. The Company has not recorded any obligation associated with these letters of credit. The majority of the letters of credit are collateral for existing indebtedness and other obligations of the Company.
Additionally, in connection with the refinancing of the La Frontera Village (Note 4) property mortgage loan of $57.0 million, which is collateralized by the investment property, Fund V guaranteed the joint venture’s obligation under the loan. Fund V earned a fee from the joint venture for providing the guarantee. As of September 30, 2024, $0.2 million related to the guarantee was recorded as a liability in the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
In conjunction with the development and expansion of various properties, the Company has entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction or development of properties aggregating approximately $98.9 million and $15.8 million, of which the Company’s share is $96.9 million and $12.5 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company has committed client-related obligations for tenant improvements based on executed leases aggregating approximately $28.8 million and $25.7 million, of which the Company’s share is $19.6 million and $14.6 million, as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The timing and amounts of payments for tenant-related obligations are uncertain and may only be due upon satisfactory performance of certain conditions.
Forfeiture of Deposits
The Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement (together with subsequent amendments thereto) to sell its West Shore Expressway property in the Core Portfolio. At the request of the former potential buyer, the Company extended the closing date numerous times in exchange for additional non-refundable deposits and contributions towards the carrying costs of the property. The agreement terminated and expired by its terms in August 2023, and the deposit was forfeited to an affiliate of the Company, when, among other things, the former potential buyer failed to close on the property pursuant to the terms of the agreement. During the third quarter of 2023, the former potential buyer filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy, which bankruptcy was dismissed during the fourth quarter of 2023, and as of March 31, 2024 is no longer subject to appeal. The Company recorded income of $3.5 million in Other revenues on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations during the first quarter of 2024, related to the forfeiture of the non-refundable payments.
Insurance Coverage
We carry insurance coverage on our properties of different types and in amounts with deductibles that we believe are in line with coverage customarily obtained by owners of similar properties.

10. Shareholders’ Equity, Noncontrolling Interests and Other Comprehensive Loss
Common Shares and Units

ATM Program
The Company has an at-the-market equity issuance program (“ATM Program”) that provides the Company with an efficient vehicle for raising public equity capital to fund its needs. The Company entered into its current $250.0 million ATM Program, which includes an optional “forward sale” component, in the first quarter of 2022. As of September 30, 2024, 11,517,093 shares have been issued under the ATM Program and $2.7 million remains available for future share issuance. The Company did not sell or issue any Common Shares on a forward basis under its ATM program for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold 8,533,962 and 10,273,250 of Common Shares under its ATM Program generating $187.0 million and $216.9 million of net proceeds, respectively. No such sales were made during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
Share Repurchase Program
During 2018, the Company’s board of trustees (the “Board”) approved a new share repurchase program, which authorizes management, at its discretion, to repurchase up to $200.0 million of its outstanding Common Shares. The program does not obligate the Company to repurchase any specific number of Common Shares and may be discontinued or extended at any time. The Company did not repurchase any shares during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 or 2023. Under the share repurchase program $122.5 million remains available as of September 30, 2024.

Williamsburg Portfolio
In connection with the Williamsburg Portfolio acquisition in February 2022, the venture partner has a one-time right to put its 50.01% interest in the property to the Company for redemption at fair value at a future date (“Williamsburg NCI”). As it was unlikely as of the acquisition date that the venture partner would receive any consideration on redemption due to the Company’s preferential returns, the initial fair value of the Williamsburg NCI was determined to be zero. As of September 30, 2024, the Company determined there was no change in the fair value of the Williamsburg NCI.
In August 2022, the Company provided a loan to other Fund II investors in City Point to fund the investors’ pro rata contribution necessary to complete the refinancing of the City Point debt, of which $65.9 million was funded at closing (“City Point Loan”). The City Point Loan is collateralized by the investors’ equity in City Point (“City Point NCI”). The City Point Loan, net of a $0.8 million allowance for credit loss as of September 30, 2024, is presented as a reduction of the City Point NCI balance. In connection with the City Point Loan, each partner has a one-time right to put its City Point NCI to the Company for redemption in exchange for the settlement of its proportion of the City Point Loan amount. As of September 30, 2024, the Company determined that the carrying value of the City Point NCI exceeded the maximum redemption value and no adjustment was required.
8833 Beverly Boulevard
In July 2023, the Company entered into a limited partnership agreement to own and operate the 8833 Beverly Boulevard property. Following the formation of the partnership, the Company retained a 97.0% controlling interest. At a future point in time, either party may elect a buy-out right, where either the Company may purchase the venture partner’s interest, or the venture partner may sell its 3.0% interest in the partnership (the “8833 Beverly NCI”) to the Company for fair value. As a result of these redemption rights, the 8833 Beverly NCI was initially recorded at fair value. As of September 30, 2024, the redemption value of the 8833 Beverly NCI was $0.1 million. As of September 30, 2024, the Company determined that the carrying value exceeded the maximum redemption value and no adjustment was required.
Preferred OP Units
During 2016, the Operating Partnership issued 442,478 Common OP Units and 141,593 Series C Preferred OP Units to a third party to acquire Gotham Plaza (Note 4). The Series C Preferred OP Units have a value of $100.00 per unit and are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of $0.9375 per unit and are convertible into Common OP Units at a rate based on the share price at the time of conversion. If the share price is below $28.80 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into 3.4722 Common OP Units. If the share price is between $28.80 and $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into a number of Common OP Units equal to $100.00 divided by the closing share price. If the share price is above $35.20 on the conversion date, each Series C Preferred OP Unit will be convertible into 2.8409 Common OP Units. The Series C Preferred OP Units have a mandatory conversion date of December 31, 2025, at which time all units that have not been converted will automatically be converted into Common OP Units based on the same calculations. Through September 30, 2024, 75,074 Series C Preferred OP Units were converted into 260,475 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares.
In 1999, the Operating Partnership issued 1,580 Series A Preferred OP Units in connection with the acquisition of a property, which have a stated value of $1,000 per unit, and are entitled to a preferred quarterly distribution of the greater of (i) $22.50 (9% annually) per Series A Preferred OP Unit or (ii) the quarterly distribution attributable to a Series A Preferred OP Unit if such unit was converted into a Common OP Unit. Through September 30, 2024, 1,392 Series A Preferred OP Units were converted into 185,600 Common OP Units and then into Common Shares. The 188 remaining Series A Preferred OP Units are currently convertible into Common OP Units based on the stated value divided by $7.50. Either the Company or the holders can currently call for the conversion of the Series A Preferred OP Units at the lesser of $7.50 or the market price of the Common Shares as of the conversion date.

12. Segment Reporting
The Company has three reportable segments: Core Portfolio, Investment Management, and Structured Financing. The Company’s Core Portfolio segment consists primarily of high-quality retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, densely-populated metropolitan areas with a long-term investment horizon. The Company’s Investment Management segment holds primarily retail real estate in which the Company co-invests with high-quality institutional investors. The Company’s Structured Financing segment consists of earnings and expenses related to notes and mortgages receivable which are held within the Core Portfolio or Investment Management (Note 3). Fees earned by the Company as the general partner or managing member through Investment Management are eliminated in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements and are not presented in the Company’s segments.
During the second quarter of 2024, the Company renamed its historical Funds segment as the Investment Management segment. No prior period information was recast and the designation change did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 1.

13. Share Incentive and Other Compensation
Share Incentive Plan
In March and May of 2020, respectively, the Board and the Company’s shareholders, approved the 2020 Share Incentive Plan (the “2020 Plan”), which increased the number of Common Shares authorized for issuance by 2,650,000 shares to an aggregate of 2,829,953 shares. On March 22, 2023 and May 4, 2023, respectively, the Board and the Company’s shareholders approved the Amended and Restated 2020 Share Incentive Plan (the “Amended and Restated 2020 Plan”) which further increased the number of Common Shares authorized for issuance by 3,100,000 to an aggregate of 3,883,564 shares. In this report, references to issuances, compensation arrangements and expenses under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan include issuances, compensation arrangements and expenses under the originally adopted 2020 Plan, as applicable. The 2020 Plan and the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan authorize the Company to issue options, Restricted Shares, LTIP Units and other securities (collectively “Awards”) to, among others, the Company’s officers, trustees, and employees. As of September 30, 2024 a total of 3,049,262 shares remained available to be issued under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan.
A summary of the status of the Company’s unvested Restricted Shares and LTIP Units is presented below:

The weighted-average grant date fair value for Restricted Shares and LTIP Units granted for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023 were $16.24 and $14.93, respectively. As of September 30, 2024, there was $20.0 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested share-based compensation arrangements granted under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.5 years. The total fair value of Restricted Shares that vested during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, was $1.0 million and $0.8 million, respectively. The total fair value of LTIP Units that vested (LTIP units vest primarily during the first quarter) during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and the year ended December 31, 2023, was $7.2 million.
Restricted Shares and LTIP Units - Employees
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 727,429 LTIP Units and 26,308 restricted share units (“Restricted Share Units”), to employees of the Company pursuant to the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan. These awards were measured at their fair value on the grant date, incorporating the following factors:
36
For valuation of the 2024 and 2023 Performance Shares, a Monte Carlo simulation was used to estimate the fair values of the Relative TSR portion based on probability of satisfying the market conditions and the projected share prices at the time of payments, discounted to the valuation dates over the three-year performance periods. The assumptions include volatility (43.0% and 48.0%) and risk-free interest rates of (4.8% and 4.3%) for 2024 and 2023, respectively. The total fair value of the 2024 and 2023 Performance Shares will be expensed over the vesting period.
The total fair value of the above Restricted Share Units and LTIP Units as of the grant date was $12.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $11.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. Total long-term incentive compensation expense, including the expense related to the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan, was $2.4 million and $2.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, and 2023, respectively, and $7.0 million and $6.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is recorded in General and administrative in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Restricted Shares and LTIP Units - Board of Trustees
In addition, members of the Board have been issued shares and units under the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company issued 39,079 LTIP Units and 23,448 Restricted Share Units to Trustees of the Company. The Restricted Share Units do not carry voting rights or other rights of Common Shares until vesting and may not be transferred, assigned or pledged until the recipients have a vested non-forfeitable right to such shares. Dividends are not paid currently on unvested Restricted Shares but are paid cumulatively from the issuance date through the applicable vesting date of such Restricted Shares. Total trustee fee expense, including the expense related to the Amended and Restated 2020 Plan, was $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $1.2 million and $1.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and is recorded in General and administrative in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Long-Term Investment Alignment Program
In 2009, the Company adopted the Long-Term Investment Alignment Program (the “Program”) pursuant to which the Company may grant awards to employees, entitling them to receive up to 25% of any potential future payments of Promote to the Operating Partnership from Funds III, IV and V. The Company has granted such awards to employees representing 25% of the potential Promote payments from Fund III to the Operating Partnership, 23.1% of the potential Promote payments from Fund IV to the Operating Partnership and 21.3% of the potential Promote payments from Fund V to the Operating Partnership. Payments to senior executives under the Program require further Board approval at the time any potential payments are due pursuant to these grants. Compensation relating to these awards will be recognized in each reporting period in which Board approval is granted.
As payments to other employees are not subject to further Board approval, compensation relating to these awards will be recorded based on the estimated fair value as of each reporting period in accordance with ASC Topic 718, Compensation– Stock Compensation. The awards in connection with Fund IV were determined to have no intrinsic value as of September 30, 2024 or December 31, 2023.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company did not recognize any compensation expense under the Program related to Funds III and V. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized $0.2 million of compensation expense under the Program related to Funds III and V.
37
Other Plans
On a combined basis, the Company incurred a total of $0.4 million of compensation expense related to the following employee benefit plans for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Employee Share Purchase Plan
The Acadia Realty Trust Employee Share Purchase Plan (the “Purchase Plan”) allows eligible employees of the Company to purchase Common Shares through payroll deductions for a maximum aggregate issuance of 200,000 Common Shares. The Purchase Plan provides for employees to purchase Common Shares on a quarterly basis at a 15% discount to the closing price of the Company’s Common Shares on either the first day or the last day of the quarter, whichever is lower. A participant may not purchase more than $25,000 in Common Shares per year. Compensation expense will be recognized by the Company to the extent of the above discount to the closing price of the Common Shares with respect to the applicable quarter. A total of 11,034 and 10,601 Common Shares were purchased by employees under the Purchase Plan for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and 164,432 shares remained available to be issued under the Purchase Plan.
Deferred Share Plan
The Company maintains a Trustee Deferral and Distribution Election program, under which the participating Trustees earn deferred compensation.
Employee 401(k) Plan
The Company maintains a 401(k) plan for employees under which the Company currently matches 50% of a plan participant’s contribution up to 6% of the employee’s annual salary. A plan participant may contribute up to a maximum of 15% of their compensation, up to $23,000, for the year ending December 31, 2024.

14. Earnings Per Common Share
Basic earnings per Common Share is computed by dividing net income attributable to Common Shareholders by the weighted-average Common Shares outstanding (Note 10). During the periods presented, the Company had unvested LTIP Units which provide for non-forfeitable rights to dividend equivalent payments. Accordingly, these unvested LTIP Units are considered participating securities and are included in the computation of basic earnings per Common Share pursuant to the two-class method.
Diluted earnings per Common Share reflects the potential dilution of the conversion of obligations and the assumed exercises of securities including the effects of Restricted Share Units issued under the Company’s Amended and Restated 2020 Plan (Note 13). The effect of such shares is excluded from the calculation of earnings per share when anti-dilutive as indicated in the table below.
The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per share, as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on this same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

15. Variable Interest Entities
Pursuant to GAAP consolidation guidance, the Company consolidates certain VIEs for which the Company is the primary beneficiary. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Company has identified seven consolidated VIEs, including the Operating Partnership and the Funds. Excluding the Operating Partnership and the Funds, the VIEs consisted of three in-service core properties: the Williamsburg Portfolio, 239 Greenwich Avenue, and 8833 Beverly Boulevard. The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE in which the Company is the primary beneficiary because the limited partners do not have substantive kick-out or participating rights. The Company consolidates these VIEs because it is the primary beneficiary in which the Company has (i) the power to direct the activities of the entity that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and (ii) the obligation to absorb the entity’s losses or receive benefits from the entity that could potentially be significant to the entity. The third parties’ interests in these consolidated entities are reflected as noncontrolling interests and redeemable noncontrolling interests in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements and in Note 10.
The majority of the operations of these VIEs are funded with fees earned from investment opportunities or cash flows generated from the properties. The Company has not provided financial support to any of these VIEs that it was not previously contractually required to provide, which consists primarily of funding any capital commitments and capital expenditures, which are deemed necessary to continue to operate the entity and any operating cash shortfalls the entity may experience.
Since the Company conducts its business through and substantially all of its interests are held by the Operating Partnership, substantially all of the assets and liabilities on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets represent the assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets include the following assets and liabilities of the consolidated VIEs of the Operating Partnership:

Unconsolidated VIEs
The Company holds variable interests in certain VIEs which are not consolidated. While the Company may be responsible for managing the day-to-day operations of these investees, it is not the primary beneficiary of these VIEs, as the Company does not hold unilateral power over activities that, when taken together, most significantly impact the respective VIE’s economic performance. The Company accounts for investments in these entities under the equity method (Note 4). As of September 30, 2024, the Company has determined that the following entities are unconsolidated VIEs: 1238 Wisconsin Avenue and the Georgetown Portfolio. The Company’s involvement with these entities is in the form of direct and indirect equity interests and fee arrangements. The maximum exposure to loss in these entities is limited to: (i) the amount of the Company's equity investment and (ii) debt guarantees (Note 9). The Company’s aggregate investment in the unconsolidated VIEs assets was $44.4 million and
$45.8 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively. The Company's aggregate investment in unconsolidated VIEs liabilities was $39.3 million and $40.1 million as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.
16. Subsequent Events
On September 30, 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement and forward sales agreements with various underwriters and forward purchasers (the “Forward Sales Agreements”), to offer and sell 5,750,000 (inclusive of the underwriters exercised option to purchase 750,000 additional shares, which was exercised) of its Common Shares on a forward basis, which offering closed on October 2, 2024. The Company physically settled the Forward Sale Agreements in full on October 16, 2024, and received net proceeds upon physical settlement of $131.8 million in exchange for 5,750,000 Common Shares.
On October 11, 2024, the Company acquired a retail portfolio in Brooklyn, New York for approximately $35.0 million.
On October 17, 2024, the Company acquired a property in New York, New York for approximately $43.4 million.

ITEM 2.MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS.
OVERVIEW
Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is a fully-integrated equity REIT focused on the ownership, acquisition, development, and management of retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply-constrained, densely populated metropolitan areas in the United States. All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Trust controlled approximately 96% and 95%, respectively, of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner and is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership.
We own and operate a high-quality core real estate portfolio (“Core” or “Core Portfolio”) in the nation’s most dynamic retail corridors, along with an investment management platform (“Investment Management”). As part of the Investment Management platform, we have active investments through the following opportunity funds, including: Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (“Fund IV”), and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund V LLC (“Fund V” and, collectively with Fund II, Fund III and Fund IV, “the Funds”).
Generally, we focus on the following strategies to enhance the value of our Company and provide long-term, profitable growth:
As of September 30, 2024, we own or have an ownership interest in 204 properties held through our Core Portfolio and Investment Management platform. Our Core Portfolio consists of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through the Investment Management platform. These properties primarily consist of street and urban retail, and suburban shopping centers. The Investment Management platform consists of investment vehicles through which our Operating Partnership and outside institutional investors invest in primarily opportunistic and value-add retail real estate. The majority of our operating income is derived from rental revenues from operating properties, including expense recoveries from tenants, offset by operating and overhead expenses.

SIGNIFICANT DEVELOPMENTS DURING THE NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2024 AND SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
During the second quarter of 2024 we renamed our historical Funds segment as the Investment Management segment. No prior period information was recast and the designation change did not impact our condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 12.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired four Core properties, one Core land parcel, and one consolidated Investment Management property, as follows (Note 2):
In October 2024, we acquired three Core properties for $96.7 million (Note 16).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we deconsolidated one Core property, disposed of two consolidated Investment Management properties and one outparcel, and disposed of two unconsolidated investments, as follows:
Financing Activity
On September 12, 2024, the Operating Partnership and the Company entered into a Consent and Second Amendment (the “Amendment”) to the Third Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, with Bank of America, N.A. as administrative agent, dated as of April 15, 2024, to amend its existing senior unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”). The Amendment provides for an increase in the existing unsecured revolving credit facility under the Credit Facility (the “Revolver”) from $350.0 million to $525.0 million, on the same terms and conditions as the existing Revolver, which includes the capacity to issue letters of credit in an amount up to $60.0 million. The Amendment also increases the capacity limit on the accordion feature under the existing Credit Facility from $900.0 million to $1.1 billion, on the same terms and conditions otherwise set forth in the Credit Facility. The Credit Facility and existing $400.0 million unsecured term loan (“Term Loan”) have a maturity date of April 15, 2028, with two additional six-month extension options. Borrowings under the Revolver and the Term Loan will accrue interest at a floating rate based on SOFR with margins based on leverage or credit rating (Note 7).

Structured Financing Investments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we originated one Core note receivable of $7.6 million to a related party, which is collateralized by the borrower’s equity interest in various partnerships, bears interest at 12% and matures on December 31, 2025.
Common Shares

In September 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement and forward sales agreements with various underwriters and forward purchasers (the “Forward Sales Agreements”), which is accounted for in equity, to offer and sell 5,750,000 (inclusive of the underwriters exercised option to purchase 750,000 additional shares) of its Common Shares on a forward basis. On October 16, 2024, the Company physically settled the Forward Sale Agreements and received net proceeds of $131.8 million (Note 16).
Economic and Other Considerations
Heightened levels of inflation and higher interest rates present risks for our business and our tenants. We continue to monitor and address risks related to the economy. In recent years, inflation levels were elevated resulting in increased costs for certain goods and services and cost of borrowing. Inflation began to decrease in the second quarter of 2023 but still remains at elevated levels compared to the years preceding 2021. While the Federal Reserve reduced interest rates in September 2024 and may lower interest rates further in 2024 or later periods, we cannot provide any assurance that further interest rate reductions, if any, or other monetary policy changes, will positively affect our business, results of operations or consolidated financial statements. Most of our leases include contractual rent escalations and require tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. We believe we manage our properties in a cost-conscious manner to minimize recurring operational expenses and utilize multi-year contracts to alleviate the impact of inflation on our business and our tenants. We also continue to see rising consumer confidence and we expect to continue to add value to our portfolio by executing on our current leasing momentum, our active development and redevelopment projects, and leasing pipeline. We manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap and cap agreements, which qualify for, and are designated as, hedging instruments. Except for increased interest costs, we have not experienced any material negative impacts at this time.

The results of operations for our Core Portfolio segment are depicted in the table above under the headings labeled “Core.” Segment net income attributable to Acadia for our Core Portfolio increased $1.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period as a result of the changes further described below.
Revenues for our Core Portfolio decreased $1.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the prior year period primarily due to (i) $1.5 million from the strategic recapture of tenant space subsequent to September 30, 2023 and (ii) $0.9 million from the sale of the Shops at Grand property in 2024. These decreases were partially offset by (i) $1.0 million from new tenant lease up.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Net Property Operating Income
The following discussion of net property operating income (“NOI”) and rent spreads on new and renewal leases includes the activity from both our consolidated and our pro-rata share of unconsolidated properties within our Core Portfolio. Investment Management invests primarily in properties that typically require significant leasing and development. Given that Investment Management is primarily comprised of finite-life investment vehicles, these properties are sold following stabilization. For these reasons, we believe NOI and rent spreads are not meaningful measures for our Investment Management investments.
NOI represents property revenues less property expenses. We consider NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases for our Core Portfolio to be appropriate supplemental disclosures of portfolio operating performance due to their widespread acceptance and use within the REIT investor and analyst communities. NOI and rent spreads on new and renewal leases are presented to assist investors in analyzing our property performance, however, our method of calculating these may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Funds from Operations
We consider funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) to be an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance due to its widespread acceptance and use within the REIT investor and analyst communities. FFO is presented to assist investors in analyzing our performance. It is helpful as it excludes various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of real estate. Our method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating our performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, we define FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property and impairment of depreciable real estate, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Also consistent with NAREIT’s definition of FFO, the Company has elected to include gains and losses incidental to its main business (including those related to its RCP investments, such as Albertsons) in FFO. A reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to Acadia to FFO follows (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Uses of Liquidity and Cash Requirements
Generally, our principal uses of liquidity are (i) distributions to our shareholders and OP unit holders, (ii) investments, which include the funding of our capital committed to the Funds in our Investment Management platform and property acquisitions and development/re-tenanting activities within our Core Portfolio, (iii) distributions to our Fund investors, (iv) debt service and loan repayments and (v) share repurchases.
Distributions
In order to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we paid dividends and distributions on our Common Shares and Preferred OP Units totaling $58.7 million.
Investments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we acquired four Core properties, one Core land parcel, and one consolidated Investment Management property, as described below (Note 2):
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we originated one Core note receivable of $7.6 million to a related party, which is secured by the borrower’s equity interest in the Renaissance Portfolio, 1238 Wisconsin Avenue, and another Georgetown property, bears interest at 12% and matures on December 31, 2025 (Note 3).
Capital Commitments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we made capital contributions aggregating $11.7 million to our Funds.
As of September 30, 2024, our share of the remaining capital commitments to our Funds aggregated $17.5 million as follows:
Development Activities
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, capitalized costs associated with development activities totaled $13.9 million (Note 2). As of September 30, 2024, we had a total of 10 consolidated projects under development or redevelopment, for which the estimated total cost to complete these projects through 2028 was $54.0 million to $168.0 million, and our estimated share was approximately $54.0 million to $168.0 million. Substantially all remaining development and redevelopment costs are discretionary, and could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the current inflationary environment, rising interest rates, and other risks detailed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Debt
A summary of our consolidated debt, which includes the full amount of Investment Management related obligations and excludes our pro rata share of debt at our unconsolidated subsidiaries, is as follows (in thousands):
Total Debt - Fixed and Effectively Fixed Rate

Total Debt - Variable Rate
424,271
426,380
1,881,087
(11,186
1,870,141
As of September 30, 2024, our consolidated indebtedness aggregated $1,590.4 million, excluding unamortized premium of $0.2 million and net unamortized loan costs of $11.0 million, and was collateralized by 31 properties and related tenant leases. Stated interest rates on our outstanding indebtedness ranged from 3.99% to SOFR + 3.75% with maturities that ranged from October 5, 2024 to April 15, 2035, without regard to available extension options. With respect to the debt maturing in 2024, we are actively pursuing refinancing the remaining obligations, though there can be no assurance that we can refinance such obligations on favorable terms or at all. Taking into consideration $875.1 million of notional principal under variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, $1,166.1 million of the portfolio debt, or 73.3%, was fixed at a 5.02% weighted average interest rate and $424.3 million, or 26.7%%, was floating at a 7.76% weighted average interest rate as of September 30, 2024. Our variable-rate debt includes $151.0 million of debt subject to interest rate caps.
Without regard to available extension options, as of September 30, 2024, we had $171.9 million of debt maturing in 2024 at a weighted-average interest rate of 5.71%; $1.2 million of scheduled principal amortization due in the remainder of 2024; and our share of scheduled remaining 2024 principal payments and maturities on our unconsolidated debt was $43.4 million. In addition, $542.1 million of our total consolidated debt and $44.8 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will come due by September 30, 2025. With respect to the debt maturing in 2024 and 2025, we have options to extend consolidated debt aggregating $0.0 million and $327.0 million as of September 30, 2024 and there can be no assurance that the Company will be able to successfully execute any or all of its available extension options. For the remaining indebtedness, we may not have sufficient cash on hand to repay such indebtedness, and, therefore, we expect to refinance at least a portion of this indebtedness or select other alternatives based on market conditions as these loans mature; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to obtain financing on acceptable terms or at all. Our ability to obtain financing could be affected by various risks and uncertainties, including, but not limited to, the effects of the current inflationary environment, rising interest rates, and other risks detailed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
We maintain a share repurchase program under which $122.5 million remains available as of September 30, 2024 (Note 10). We did not repurchase any shares under this program during the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Sources of Liquidity
Our primary sources of capital for funding our short-term (less than 12 months) and long-term (12 months and longer) liquidity needs include (i) the issuance of both public equity and OP Units, (ii) the issuance of both secured and unsecured debt, (iii) unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within Investment Management, (iv) future sales of existing properties, (v) repayments of structured financing investments, (vi) liquidation of marketable securities, and (vii) cash on hand and future cash flow from operating activities. Our cash on hand in our consolidated subsidiaries as of September 30, 2024 totaled $46.2 million. Our remaining sources of liquidity are described further below.
Issuance of Common Shares
In September 2024, the Company entered into an underwriting agreement and forward sales agreements with various underwriters and forward purchasers (the “Forward Sales Agreements”), which is accounted for in equity, to offer and sell 5,750,000 (inclusive of the underwriters
exercised option to purchase 750,000 additional shares) of its Common Shares on a forward basis. On October 16, 2024, the Company physically settled the Forward Sale Agreements and received net proceeds of $131.8 million.
We have an ATM Program (Note 10) that provides us with an efficient and low-cost vehicle for raising capital through public equity issuances on an as-we-go basis to fund our capital needs. Through this program, we have been able to effectively “match-fund” the required capital for our Core Portfolio and our share of Investment Management acquisitions through the issuance of Common Shares over extended periods employing a price averaging strategy. In addition, from time to time, we have issued and may issue, equity in follow-on offerings separate from our ATM Program. Net proceeds raised through our ATM Program and follow-on offerings are primarily used for acquisitions, both for our Core Portfolio and our pro-rata share of Investment Management acquisitions, and for general corporate purposes. The Company sold 8,533,962 and 10,273,250 Common Shares under its ATM Program during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 generating $187.0 million and $216.9 million of net proceeds after related issuance costs, respectively.
Investment Management Capital
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, Fund V called for capital contributions of $57.8 million, of which our aggregate share was $11.7 million. As of September 30, 2024, unfunded capital commitments from noncontrolling interests within Funds II, III, IV and V were $0, $1.4 million, $18.5 million and $45.9 million, respectively.
Asset Sales and Other Transactions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we deconsolidated one Core property, two consolidated Investment Management properties and one outparcel, and one unconsolidated investment, as follows:
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we sold 500,000 shares of Albertsons, generating net proceeds of $10.5 million. As of September 30, 2024, we held 0.9 million shares of Albertsons which had a fair value of $17.5 million (Note 8). In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized dividend income of $0.4 million (Note 8).
Structured Financing Repayments
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company received full payment on a $6.0 million Core Portfolio note.
Financing and Debt
As of September 30, 2024, we had $469.0 million of capacity under existing Core Portfolio debt facilities. In addition, as of that date within our Core Portfolio and Investment Management, we had 132 unleveraged consolidated properties with an aggregate carrying value of approximately $1.8 billion, although there can be no assurance that we would be able to obtain financing for these properties at favorable terms, if at all.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of cash inflows from rental revenue, and cash outflows for property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and interest and debt expense.
Our operating activities provided $12.6 million less cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to the $28.2 million dividend received from our investment in Albertsons in 2023.
Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities is impacted by our investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates, the timing and extent of our real estate development, capital improvements, and acquisition and disposition activities during the period.
Our investing activities provided $40.0 million more cash for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily due to (i) $58.7 million more cash received from the disposition of properties in 2024, (ii) $20.8 million less cash used in our investments in and advances to unconsolidated affiliates, (iii) $8.1 million more cash received from the sale of marketable securities, and (iv) $6.0 million more received from the payment of a note receivable. These sources of cash were offset by (i) $27.0 million less cash received from return of capital of unconsolidated affiliates, (ii) $11.1 million more cash used for development, construction and property improvement costs, (iii) $8.2 million more cash used to originate a note receivable and (iv) $6.4 million more cash used for the acquisition of real estate.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities is impacted by the timing and extent of issuances of debt and equity securities, distributions paid to common shareholders and unitholders of the Operating Partnership, as well as principal and other payments associated with our outstanding indebtedness.
Our financing activities provided $21.7 million more cash during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2023, primarily from (i) $328.8 million more cash provided by the sale of Common Shares, (ii) $14.3 million more cash provided by contributions from noncontrolling interests, and (iii) $8.0 million less cash distributed to noncontrolling interests. These increases were offset by (i) $317.5 million more cash used to repay debt, (ii) $7.2 million more cash used for payment of deferred financing fees, and (iii) $3.3 million more used to pay dividends.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
We have the following investments made through joint ventures (that may include, among others, tenancy-in common and other similar investments) for the purpose of investing in operating properties. We account for these investments using the equity method of accounting. As such, our financial statements reflect our investment and our share of income and loss from, but not the individual assets and liabilities, of these joint ventures.
See Note 4 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for a discussion of our unconsolidated investments. The Operating Partnership’s pro-rata share of unconsolidated non-recourse debt related to those investments is as follows (dollars in millions):

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. We believe there have been no material changes to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies under Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” in our 2023 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Recently Issued and Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
Reference is made to Note 1 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for information about recently issued accounting pronouncements.
ITEM 3.QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK.
Information as of September 30, 2024
Our primary market risk exposure is to changes in interest rates related to our mortgage and other debt. See Note 7 in the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, for certain quantitative details related to our mortgage and other debt.
Currently, we manage our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates primarily through the use of fixed-rate debt and interest rate swap and cap agreements. As of September 30, 2024, we had total mortgage and other notes payable of $1,590.4 million, excluding the unamortized premium of $0.2 million and net unamortized debt issuance costs of $11.0 million, of which $1,166.1 million, or 73.3% was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $424.3 million, or 26.7%, was variable-rate based upon SOFR or Prime rates plus certain spreads. As of September 30, 2024, we were party to 34 interest rate swaps and four interest rate cap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $875.1 million and $151.0 million of variable-rate debt, respectively. For a discussion of the risks associated with the discontinuation of LIBOR, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Liquidity and Indebtedness on our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 — If we decided to employ higher leverage levels, we would be subject to increased debt service requirements and a higher risk of default on our debt obligations, which could adversely affect our financial conditions, cash flows and ability to make distributions to our shareholders. In addition, increases or changes in interest rates could cause our borrowing costs to rise and may limit our ability to refinance debt.”
The following table sets forth information as of September 30, 2024 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity (without regard to available extension options) and weighted average effective interest rates of maturing amounts (dollars in millions):

Without regard to available extension options, in the remainder of 2024, $173.1 million of our total consolidated debt and $43.4 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated outstanding debt will become due. In addition, $452.5 million of our total consolidated debt and $10.5 million of our pro-rata share of unconsolidated debt will become due in 2025. As it relates to the aforementioned maturing debt in 2024 and 2025, we
have options to extend consolidated debt aggregating $0.0 million and $327.0 million, respectively; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will be able successfully execute any or all of its available extension options. As we intend on refinancing some or all of such debt at the then-existing market interest rates, which may be greater than the current interest rates, our interest expense would increase by approximately $6.7 million annually if the interest rate on the refinanced debt increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $2.3 million. Interest expense on our variable-rate debt of $424.3 million, net of variable to fixed-rate swap agreements currently in effect, as of September 30, 2024, would increase $4.2 million if corresponding rate indices increased by 100 basis points. After giving effect to noncontrolling interests, our share of this increase would be $1.2 million. We may seek additional variable-rate financing if and when pricing and other commercial and financial terms warrant. As such, we would consider hedging against the interest rate risk related to such additional variable-rate debt through interest rate swaps and protection agreements, or other means.
Based on our outstanding debt balances as of September 30, 2024, the fair value of our total consolidated outstanding debt would decrease by approximately $10.9 million if interest rates increased by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decreased by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would increase by approximately $10.9 million.
As of September 30, 2024, and December 31, 2023, we had consolidated notes receivable of $126.6 million and $124.9 million, respectively. We determined the estimated fair value of our notes receivable by discounting future cash receipts utilizing a discount rate equivalent to the rate at which similar notes receivable would be originated under conditions then existing.
Based on our outstanding notes receivable balances as of September 30, 2024, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would decrease by approximately $0.8 million if interest rates increased by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decreased by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding notes receivable would increase by approximately $0.9 million.
Summarized Information as of December 31, 2023
As of December 31, 2023, we had total mortgage and other notes payable of $1,881.1 million, excluding the unamortized premium of $0.2 million and unamortized debt issuance costs of $11.2 million, of which $1,454.7 million, or 77.3%, was fixed-rate, inclusive of debt with rates fixed through the use of derivative financial instruments, and $426.4 million, or 22.7%, was variable-rate based upon LIBOR rates plus certain spreads. As of December 31, 2023, we were party to 36 interest rate swap and three interest rate cap agreements to hedge our exposure to changes in interest rates with respect to $1,249.8 million and $151.4 million of SOFR-based variable-rate debt, respectively.
Interest expense on our variable-rate debt of $426.4 million as of December 31, 2023, would have increased $4.3 million if corresponding rate indices increased by 100 basis points. Based on our outstanding debt balances as of December 31, 2023, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have decreased by approximately $6.9 million if interest rates increased by 1%. Conversely, if interest rates decreased by 1%, the fair value of our total outstanding debt would have increased by approximately $6.6 million.
Changes in Market Risk Exposures from December 31, 2023 to September 30, 2024
Our interest rate risk exposure from December 31, 2023, to September 30, 2024, has decreased on an absolute basis, as the $426.4 million of variable-rate debt as of December 31, 2023 has decreased to $424.3 million as of September 30, 2024. Our interest rate exposure as a percentage of total debt has increased, as our variable-rate debt accounted for 22.7% of our consolidated debt as of December 31, 2023 compared to 26.7% as of September 30, 2024.
ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES.
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our disclosure controls and procedures include internal controls and other procedures designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed in this and other reports filed under the Exchange Act, is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the required time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms; and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our chief executive officer and chief financial officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.
