EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Report") combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2025, of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Regency Centers Corporation" or the "Parent Company" mean Regency Centers Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries and references to "Regency Centers, L.P." or the "Operating Partnership" mean Regency Centers, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries. The terms "the Company," "Regency Centers," "Regency," "we," "our," and "us" as used in this Report mean the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries, collectively.
The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common partnership units ("Common Units"). As of March 31, 2025, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.4% of the Common Units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining Common Units, which are all limited Common Units, are owned by third party investors. In addition to the Common Units, the Operating Partnership has also issued two series of preferred units: the 6.250% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the "Series A Preferred Units") and the 5.875% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Units (the "Series B Preferred Units"). The Parent Company currently owns all of the Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units. The Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units are sometimes referred to collectively as the "Preferred Units."
The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as a single business. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same individuals as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of the Parent Company, and officers and employees of the Operating Partnership.
The Company believes it is important to understand the key differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of Common and Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. Except for $200 million of unsecured private placement debt, the Parent Company does not directly hold any indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership, directly or indirectly, is also the co-issuer and guarantor of the Parent Company's $200 million unsecured private placement debt referenced above. The Operating Partnership holds all the assets of the Company and ownership of the Company's subsidiaries and equity interests in its joint ventures. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Common Units or Preferred Units, the Operating Partnership generates all other capital required by the Company's business. These sources include the Operating Partnership's operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of Common Units and Preferred Units.
Shareholders' equity, partners' capital, and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes the Common Units and the Preferred Units. The limited partners' Common Units in the Operating Partnership owned by third parties are accounted for in partners' capital in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and outside of shareholders' equity in noncontrolling interests in the Parent Company's financial statements. The Preferred Units owned by the Parent Company are eliminated in consolidation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and are classified as preferred units of the general partner in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership.
In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this Report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements, controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this Report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.
As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while shareholders' equity and partners' capital differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

Organization and Significant Accounting Policies
General
Regency Centers Corporation (the "Parent Company") began its operations as a REIT in 1993 and is the general partner of Regency Centers, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Parent Company primarily engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, development, and redevelopment of shopping centers through the Operating Partnership and has no other assets other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. Its only indebtedness consists of $200 million of unsecured private placement notes, which are co-issued and guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership.
As of March 31, 2025, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis owned 381 properties and held partial interests in an additional 102 properties through unconsolidated Investments in real estate partnerships (also referred to as "joint ventures" or "investment partnerships").
Basis of Presentation
The information included in this Report should be read in conjunction with the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (the “Annual Report on Form 10-K”), as certain disclosures in this Report that would duplicate those included in such Annual Report on Form 10-K are not included in these consolidated financial statements. The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature.
Estimates, Risks and Uncertainties
The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in conformity with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") requires the Company's management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, and disclosure of commitments and contingent assets and liabilities, as of the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The most significant estimates in the Company's financial statements relate to the net carrying values of its real estate investments, collectibility of lease income, and acquired lease intangible assets and liabilities. It is possible that the estimates and assumptions that have been utilized in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements could change significantly if economic conditions were to change.
The success of the Company's tenants in operating their businesses and their corresponding ability to pay rent may be influenced by evolving political, economic, trade and immigration policies and macroeconomic uncertainties, and the success of the Company's tenants, in the aggregate, is important to the operating and financial success of the Company. These issues include, but are not limited to, the potential for impacts from tariffs and potential trade disputes, retaliatory actions by other countries, inflation, the cost and availability of labor, including labor shortages related to deportations or threat of deportations, increasing energy prices and interest rates, supply chain disruptions, and access to and cost of capital. Additionally, geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges, including the war involving Russia and Ukraine, the Middle East conflicts and wars, and economic conflicts with China, as well as the slowing of its economy, could impact aspects of the U.S. economy and, therefore, consumer confidence and spending.
The policies implemented by the U.S. government to address these and related issues, including changes by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of its benchmark federal funds rate, increases or decreases in federal government spending, and economic sanctions and tariffs, could result in adverse impacts on the U.S. economy, including inflation, reduction in consumer confidence and spending, a slowing of growth, and potentially a recession, thereby adversely impacting the costs to our tenants of operating their businesses, demand for their products and services, and their ability to pay rent, and/or decreasing future demand for space in shopping centers, which could adversely impact occupancy rates and rents. The potential impact of current macroeconomic and geopolitical challenges on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is subject to change and continues to depend on the extent and duration of these risks and uncertainties. See Item 1A of Part I of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K, as supplemented by the discussion in Item 1A of Part II of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a more detailed discussion of the Risk Factors potentially impacting the Company's business and results of operations.
Investment Risk Concentrations
As of March 31, 2025, no single tenant comprised 10% or more of our aggregate annualized base rent ("ABR"). As of March 31, 2025, the Company had three geographic concentrations that individually accounted for at least 10% of its aggregate ABR. Real estate properties located in California, Florida and the New York-Newark-Jersey City core-based statistical area accounted for 23.1%, 20.4% and 12.6% of ABR respectively. This geographic concentration makes those portions of the portfolio more susceptible to adverse weather, natural disasters or economic events that may specifically and disproportionately impact these areas. None of the Regency's shopping centers are located outside the United States.
Consolidation
The Company consolidates properties that are wholly-owned and properties where it owns less than 100% but holds a controlling financial interest in the entity. Controlling financial interest is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of Variable Interest Entities ("VIEs") and voting interest entities.
Ownership of the Parent Company
The Parent Company currently has a single class of common stock and two series of preferred stock outstanding.
Ownership of the Operating Partnership
The Operating Partnership's capital includes Common Units and Preferred Units. As of March 31, 2025, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.4% of the outstanding Common Units, with the remaining limited partners' Common Units held by third parties ("Exchangeable operating partnership units" or "EOP units"). The Parent Company currently owns all of the Preferred Units.
Real Estate Partnerships
As of March 31, 2025, Regency held partial ownership interests in 121 properties through real estate partnerships, of which 19 are consolidated. Regency's partners include institutional investors, real estate developers and/or operators, and passive investors (the "Partners" or "Limited Partners"). These partnerships have been established to own and operate real estate properties. The Company’s involvement with these entities is through its ownership of its equity interest in the partnerships and management of the properties. The entities were deemed VIEs primarily because the unrelated investors do not have substantive kick-out rights to remove the general or managing partner by a vote of a simple majority or less, and they do not have substantive participating rights. Regency has variable interests in these entities through its equity ownership, with Regency being the primary beneficiary in certain of these real estate partnerships. Regency consolidates the partnerships into its financial statements for which it is the primary beneficiary and reports the limited partners' interests as noncontrolling interests. For those partnerships which Regency is not the primary beneficiary and does not have a controlling financial interest, but has significant influence, Regency recognizes its equity investments in them in accordance with the equity method of accounting.
The assets of these partnerships are restricted to use by the respective partnerships and cannot be directly reached by general creditors of the Company. Similarly, the obligations of the partnerships are backed by, and can only be settled through the assets of these partnerships or by additional capital contributions by the partners, except to the extent that the Company has provided contractual payment guarantees.

Derivative Instruments
The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest swaps, caps, options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The Company does not intend to utilize derivative instruments for speculative transactions or purposes other than mitigation of interest rate risk. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties that have high credit ratings. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

(423
Derivatives in an asset position are included within Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, while those in a liability position are included within Accounts payable and other liabilities.
These derivative financial instruments are all interest rate swaps, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company does not enter into derivative instruments for trading or speculative purposes. As of March 31, 2025, all of the Company's derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges.
The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges are recorded in Accumulated other comprehensive income ("AOCI") and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged interest payments affects earnings.
The following table represents the effect of the derivative financial instruments on the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements:

As of March 31, 2025, the Company expects approximately $1.7 million of accumulated comprehensive income on derivative instruments, including the Company's share from its Investments in real estate partnerships, to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months.
7.
Leases
Substantially all of the Company's leases are classified as operating leases. The Company's Lease income is comprised of both fixed and variable income. Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income includes stated amounts per lease contracts, which are primarily related to base rent, and in some cases stated amounts for common area maintenance ("CAM"), real estate taxes, and insurance (collectively, "Recoverable Costs"). Income for these amounts is recognized on a straight-line basis.
Variable lease income includes the following two main items in the lease contracts:

Fair Value Measurements
(a) Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments
All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management's estimation, reasonably approximate their fair values, except those instruments listed below:
CarryingAmount
Fair Value
Financial assets:
Notes receivable
31,702
31,728
31,790
31,755
Financial liabilities:
4,213,402
4,141,096
Unsecured credit facilities (1)
The above fair values represent management's estimate of the amounts that would be received from selling those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants as of March 31, 2025, and December 31, 2024, respectively. These fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs which are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.
The Company develops its judgments based on the best information available at the measurement date, including expected cash flows, appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates, and available observable and unobservable inputs. Service providers involved in fair value measurements are evaluated for competency and qualifications on an ongoing basis. As considerable judgment is often necessary to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments, the fair values presented above are not necessarily indicative of amounts that will be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.
20
(b) Fair Value Measurements
The following financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:
Securities
The Company has investments in marketable securities that are included within Other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the securities was determined using quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the value of securities are recorded within Net investment loss (income) in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, and include unrealized losses of $2.4 million and unrealized gains of $2.4 million during the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
Available-for-Sale Debt Securities
Available-for-sale debt securities consist of investments in corporate bonds, and are recorded at fair value using either recent trade prices for the identical debt instrument or comparable instruments by issuers of similar industry sector, issuer rating, and size, to estimate fair value, which are considered Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains or losses on these debt securities are recognized through Other comprehensive income.
Interest Rate Derivatives
The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate swaps. As a result, the Company determined that its interest rate swaps valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following tables present the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

The holders of the Preferred Stock have general preference rights over common stockholders with respect to liquidation and quarterly distributions. Except under certain limited conditions, holders of the Preferred Stock will not be entitled to vote. In the event of a cumulative arrearage equal to six quarterly dividends, holders of the Preferred Stock (voting as a single class without regard to series) will have the right to elect two additional members to serve on the Company's Board of Directors until the arrearage has been cured. Upon the occurrence of a Change of Control, as defined in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the holders of the Preferred Stock will have the right to convert all or part of the shares of the Preferred Stock held by such holders on the applicable conversion date into a number of shares of common stock.
Common Stock of the Parent Company
At the Market ("ATM") Program
Under the Parent Company's ATM Program, as authorized by the Board, the Parent Company may sell up to $500 million of common stock at prices determined by the market at the time of sale. The timing of sales, if any, will be dependent on market conditions and other factors.
During 2024, the Company entered into forward sale agreements under its ATM program through which the Parent Company is obligated to issue 1,339,377 shares of its common stock at a weighted average offering price of $74.66 per share before any underwriting discount and offering expenses. The shares under the forward sales agreements must be settled within one year of their trade dates, which vary by agreement, and range from November 26, 2025, to December 5, 2025. Upon settlement, subject to certain exceptions, the Company may elect, in its sole discretion, to physically settle, cash settle, or net share settle all or any portion of our obligations under any forward sale agreement.
No shares to be issued under the 2024 forward sales agreements have been settled as of March 31, 2025. Proceeds from the issuance of shares are expected to be approximately $100.0 million before any underwriting discount and offering expenses and are expected to be used to fund acquisitions of operating properties, fund developments and redevelopments, and for general corporate purposes.
As of March 31, 2025, and after giving effect to the aforementioned forward equity offering, $400 million of common stock remained available for issuance under this ATM Program.
22
Stock Repurchase Program
On July 31, 2024, the Board authorized a common stock repurchase program under which the Company may purchase up to a maximum of $250 million of its outstanding common stock through open market transactions, and/or in privately negotiated transactions (referred to as the "Repurchase Program"). The timing and price of stock repurchases, if any, are dependent upon market conditions and other factors. The stock repurchased, if not retired, is treated as treasury stock. The Board's authorization for the Repurchase Program expires on June 30, 2026, unless modified, extended or earlier terminated by the Board in its discretion.
During the three months ended March 31, 2025, the Company made no repurchases and $250 million remained available under the Repurchase Program.
Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership
The number of Series A Preferred Units and Series B Preferred Units, respectively, issued by the Operating Partnership is equal to the number of Series A Preferred Stock and Series B Preferred Stock, respectively, issued by the Parent Company.
Common Units of the Operating Partnership
Common Units are issued, or redeemed and retired, for each share of the Parent Company stock issued or redeemed, or retired, as described above.

Segment Information
The Company's portfolio is located throughout the United States. Management does not distinguish or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or capital. The Company’s chief operating decision maker ("CODM") evaluates operating and financial performance for each property on an individual property level; therefore, the Company defines an operating segment as its individual properties. The individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the centers, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term average financial performance.
The following tables provide information about the Company's reportable segment's revenues, significant expenses, NOI and the reconciliation of NOI to the Company’s consolidated Net income:

Commitments and Contingencies
Litigation
The Company is a party to litigation and other disputes that arise in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of any particular lawsuit or dispute cannot be predicted with certainty, in the opinion of management, the Company's currently pending litigation and disputes are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
Environmental
The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations. With respect to applicability to the Company, these pertain primarily to chemicals historically used by certain current and former dry cleaning tenants, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, underground petroleum storage tanks and other historic land uses. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations. The Company can give no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to its shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contamination; that its estimate of liabilities will not change as more information becomes available; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to the Company; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; and that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.
The Company had accrued liabilities of $17.1 million and $17.3 million for environmental remediation, which are included in Accounts payable, and other liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
Letters of Credit
The Company has the right to issue letters of credit under the Line up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $50.0 million, which reduces the credit availability under the Line. These letters of credit are primarily issued as collateral on behalf of its captive insurance subsidiary and to facilitate the construction of development projects. The Company had $10.9 million in letters of credit outstanding as of both March 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
Forward-Looking Statements
Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial, business, legal or other outcomes including business and market conditions, outlook and other similar statements relating to Regency's future events, developments, or financial or operational performance or results, are "forward-looking statements" made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as "may," "will," "could," "should," "would," "expect," "estimate," "believe," "intend," "forecast," "project," "plan," "anticipate," "guidance," and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. While we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance these expectations will be attained, and it is possible actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risk factors, including, without limitation, risk factors relating to:
As more specifically described in Part I, Item 1A. “Risk Factors" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 ("2024 Form 10-K") and in Part II, Item 1A. "Risk Factors" in this Report. When considering an investment in our securities, you should carefully read and consider these risks, together with all other information in our most recent 2024 Form 10-K, subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q, and our other filings with and submissions to the SEC. If any of the events described in the risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results, as well as the market price of our securities, could be materially adversely affected. Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and Regency undertakes no duty to update its forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or developments or otherwise, except as and to the extent required by law.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In addition to the required Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") presentations, we use and report certain non-GAAP financial measures as we believe these measures improve the understanding of our operational results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP financial measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP financial measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change.
We do not consider non-GAAP financial measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, rather they supplement GAAP measures by providing additional information we believe to be useful to our shareholders. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management's judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP
measures are provided. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations, or future prospects of the Company.
Our non-GAAP financial measures include the following:
Companies use different depreciable lives and methods, and real estate values historically fluctuate with market conditions. Since Nareit FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and gains on sale and impairments of real estate, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in percent leased, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition and development activities, and financing costs. This provides a perspective of our financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Thus, Nareit FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP; and, therefore, should not be considered a substitute measure of cash flows from operations.
Management believes that NOI is a useful measure for investors because it provides insight into the core operations and performance of our properties, independent of the capital structure, financing activities, and non-operating factors. By focusing on property-level performance, NOI allows investors to compare the performance of our real estate assets across periods and with those of other REIT peers in the industry, facilitating a clearer understanding of trends in occupancy, rental income, and operating expense management. In addition to its relevance for investors, management uses NOI as a key performance metric in making operational and strategic decisions. NOI is used to evaluate income generated from shopping centers (i.e., return on assets) and to guide decisions on capital investments. These decisions may include acquisitions, redevelopments, and investments in capital improvements.
We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships, when read in conjunction with our reported results under GAAP. We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, operating results, and other metrics, along with certain other non-GAAP financial measures, makes comparisons of our operating results to those of other REITs more meaningful. The Pro-rata information provided is not, nor is it intended to be, presented in accordance with GAAP. The Pro-rata supplemental details of assets and liabilities and supplemental details of operations reflect our proportionate economic ownership of the assets, liabilities, and operating results of the properties in our portfolio.
The Pro-rata information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts and is intended to more accurately reflect our proportionate economic interest in the assets, liabilities, and operating results of properties in our portfolio. We do not control the unconsolidated real estate partnerships, and the Pro-rata presentations of the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses do not represent our legal claim to such items. The partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the operating agreements, which generally provide for such allocations according to their invested capital. Our share of invested capital establishes the ownership interests we use to prepare our Pro-rata share.
27
The presentation of Pro-rata information has limitations which include, but are not limited to, the following:
Because of these limitations, the Pro-rata financial information should not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements, using the Pro-rata information as a supplement.
Management believes this measure provides investors with a useful and consistent comparison of the Company’s operating performance and trends. Management uses Pro-rata Same Property NOI as a supplemental measure to assess property-level performance, excluding the effects of corporate-level expenses, financing costs, and non-operating activities. This measure allows investors to evaluate trends in revenue and expense growth for properties that have been consistently operated during the periods.
Other Defined Terms
The following terms, as defined, are commonly used by management and the investing public to understand and evaluate our operational results, and are included in this document:
Overview of Our Strategy
Regency Centers Corporation began operations as a publicly-traded REIT in 1993. All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through our Operating Partnership, Regency Centers, L.P. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through our real estate partnerships. As of March 31, 2025, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.4% of the outstanding Common Units and 100% of the Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership.
28
We are a preeminent national owner, operator, and developer of neighborhood and community shopping centers predominantly located in suburban trade areas with compelling demographics. As of March 31, 2025, we had full or partial ownership interests in 483 retail properties. Our properties are high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers primarily anchored by market leading grocers and principally located in suburban markets within the country's most desirable metro areas, and contain approximately 57.7 million square feet ("SF") of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Our mission is to create thriving environments for retailers and service providers to connect with surrounding neighborhoods and communities. Our vision is to elevate quality of life as an integral thread in the fabric of our communities. Our portfolio includes thriving properties merchandised with highly productive grocers, restaurants, service providers, and best-in-class retailers that connect with their neighborhoods, communities, and customers.
Our values:
Our goals are to:

The weighted-average base rent PSF on signed Shop Space leases during 2025 was $40.98 PSF, which is higher than the weighted average annual base rent PSF of all Shop Space leases due to expire during the next 12 months of $36.13 PSF. New and renewal rent spreads, compared to prior rents on these same spaces leased, were positive at 8.1% for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to 8.5% for the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Bankruptcies and Credit Concerns
Our management team devotes significant time to researching and monitoring consumer preferences and trends, customer shopping behaviors, changes in delivery methods, shifts to e-commerce, and changing demographics in order to anticipate the challenges and opportunities impacting our industry. We seek to mitigate potentially adverse impacts through maintaining a high quality portfolio, diversifying our geographic and tenant mix, replacing less successful tenants with stronger operators, anchoring our centers with market leading grocery stores that drive customer traffic, and investing in suburban trade areas with compelling demographic populations benefiting from high levels of disposal income.
We recognize that current economic conditions including, but not limited to, the potential impacts of tariffs and trade deals, inflation, cost and availability of labor, including potential labor shortages related to deportations or threat of deportations, increasing energy prices and interest rates, supply chain disruptions, and access to and cost of credit have introduced additional macroeconomic uncertainty. These economic conditions could place further financial strain on retailers by raising costs and compressing margins. The potential for a recession and the severity and duration of any economic downturn could negatively impact our existing tenants and their ability to continue to meet their lease obligations.
Although base rent is derived from long-term lease contracts, tenants that file for bankruptcy generally have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close related stores. Any unsecured claim we hold against a bankrupt tenant for unpaid rent might be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. As a result, in a tenant bankruptcy situation it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold. Additionally, we may incur significant expense to adjudicate our claim and significant downtime to re-lease the vacated space. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our shopping centers files for bankruptcy and rejects its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues. At March 31, 2025, the tenants who are currently in bankruptcy and which continue to occupy space in our shopping centers represent an aggregate of 0.9% of our Pro-rata annual base rent with no single tenant exceeding 0.5% of Pro-rata annual base rent.

Supplemental Earnings Information on Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We use certain non-GAAP financial measures, in addition to certain performance metrics determined under GAAP, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the operating results. We believe these non-GAAP financial measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated real estate partnerships, when read in conjunction with our reported results under GAAP. We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of operating results, along with other non-GAAP financial measures, may assist in comparing our operating results to other REITs. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP financial measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported non-GAAP financial measures could change. See "Non-GAAP Financial Measures" at the beginning of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.
We do not consider non-GAAP financial measures as an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, rather they supplement GAAP measures by providing additional information we believe to be useful to our shareholders. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is that they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our Consolidated Financial Statements.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We use cash flows generated from operating, investing, and financing activities to strengthen our balance sheet, finance our development and redevelopment projects, fund our investment activities, and maintain financial flexibility. A significant portion of our cash flows from operations is distributed to our common shareholders in the form of dividends in order to maintain our status as a REIT.
Except for $200 million of private placement debt, our Parent Company has no capital commitments other than its guarantees of the commitments of our Operating Partnership. All remaining debt is held by our Operating Partnership, its subsidiaries, or by our real estate partnerships. The Operating Partnership is a co-issuer and a guarantor of the $200 million of outstanding debt of our Parent Company. The Parent Company will from time to time access the capital markets for the purpose of issuing new equity, and will simultaneously contribute all of the offering proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional partnership units.
We continually assess our available liquidity and our expected cash requirements, including monitoring our tenant rent collections. We have access to and draw on multiple financing sources to fund our operations and our long-term capital needs, including the requirements of our in process and planned developments, redevelopments, other capital expenditures, and the repayment of debt. We expect to meet these needs by using a combination of the following: cash flows from operations after funding our common stock and preferred stock dividends, borrowings from our Line, proceeds from sale of real estate, mortgage loan and unsecured bank financing, distributions received from our real estate partnerships, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from sale of equity securities or the issuance of new unsecured debt. We continually evaluate alternative financing options, and we believe we can obtain new financing on reasonable terms, although likely at higher interest rates than that of our debt currently outstanding, due to the current interest rate environment.
Given the elevated interest rate environment, we are actively monitoring market conditions and evaluating strategies to mitigate interest rate risk. These strategies may include the use of interest rate swaps, caps, or forward-starting hedges to lock in rates on future debt issuances or refinancings. We are also prioritizing refinancing of maturing debt with long-duration fixed-rate debt where appropriate, to minimize future exposure to rate volatility.
We have $430.3 million of loan maturities during the next 12 months, including $250 million of unsecured public debt maturing in November 2025, and Regency's pro-rata share of maturities within our unconsolidated real estate partnerships, which we intend to refinance or pay off as they mature. We currently expect to address these maturing obligations through a combination of refinancing, available liquidity under our Line, and proceeds from potential property sales. We continually monitor capital markets and proactively manage our debt maturity profile to maintain a strong balance sheet and financial flexibility.
Based upon our available cash balance, sources of capital, our current credit ratings, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties we own, we believe our available capital resources are sufficient to meet our expected capital needs for the next year, although, in the longer term, we can provide no assurances.
In addition to our $75.1 million of unrestricted cash, we have the following additional sources of capital available:

While future dividends on shares of our common stock will be determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors, we plan to continue paying an aggregate amount of distributions to our stock and unit holders that, at a minimum, meet the requirements to continue qualifying as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We have historically generated sufficient cash flows from operations to fund our dividend distributions. During the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, we generated cash flows from operations of $161.0 million and $167.8 million, respectively, and paid $131.9 million and $127.7 million in dividends to our common and preferred stock and unit holders.
We currently have development and redevelopment projects in various stages of planning, design and construction, along with a pipeline of potential projects for future development or redevelopment. We estimate that we will require capital during the next 12 months of approximately $856.2 million related to leasing commissions, tenant improvements, in-process developments and redevelopments, capital contributions to our real estate partnerships, and repaying maturing debt. These capital requirements may be impacted by tariffs and inflation, as well as potential shortages of labor employed by contractors, resulting in increased costs of construction materials, labor, and services from third-party contractors and suppliers. We continue to implement mitigation strategies including, but not limited to, entering into fixed cost construction contracts, pre-ordering materials, and other planning efforts. Further, continued challenges from permitting delays and labor and material shortages may extend the time to completion of these projects.
If we start new developments or redevelopments, commit to property acquisitions, repay debt prior to maturity, declare future dividends, or repurchase shares of our common stock, our cash requirements will increase. If we refinance maturing debt, our cash requirements will decrease.
We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. As of March 31, 2025, 89.4% of our wholly-owned real estate assets were unencumbered. Our low level of encumbered assets allows us to more readily access the secured and unsecured debt markets and to maintain borrowing capacity on the Line.
37
Our Line and unsecured debt require that we remain in compliance with various customary financial covenants, which are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2024 Form 10-K. We were in compliance with these covenants at March 31, 2025, and expect to remain in compliance.

At March 31, 2025, our investments in real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.5 billion maturing through 2034, of which 91.8% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.9%. The remaining notes payable float with SOFR and had a weighted average variable interest rate of 6.5%, based on rates as of March 31, 2025. These fixed and variable rate notes payable are all non-recourse, and our Pro-rata share was $567.3 million as of March 31, 2025. As notes payable mature, they will be repaid from proceeds from new borrowings and/or partner capital contributions. Refinancing debt at maturity in the current interest rate environment could result in higher interest expense in future periods if rates remain elevated.
We are obligated to contribute our Pro-rata share to fund maturities if the loans are not refinanced, and we have the capacity to do so from existing cash balances, availability on our line of credit, and operating cash flows. We believe that our partners are financially sound and have sufficient capital or access thereto to fund future capital requirements. In the event that a real estate investment partner is unable to fund its share of the capital requirements of the real estate partnership, we would have the right, but not the obligation, to loan the defaulting partner the amount of its capital call which would be secured by the partner's membership interest.
Management fee income
In addition to earning our share of net income or loss in each of these real estate partnerships, we receive fees as follows:
Critical Accounting Estimates
There have been no material changes in our Critical Accounting Estimates from the information provided in the "Critical Accounting Estimates" section of "Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our Form 10-K.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
We are exposed to two significant components of interest rate risk:
We continuously monitor the capital markets and evaluate our ability to issue new debt, to repay maturing debt, or to fund our commitments. We continue to believe, in light of our credit ratings, the available capacity under our unsecured credit facility, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties that we own which could collateralize borrowings, we will be able to successfully issue new secured or unsecured debt to fund maturing debt obligations. It is uncertain the degree to which capital market volatility and higher interest rates will adversely impact the interest rates on any new debt that we may issue.
The table below presents the principal cash flows, weighted average interest rates of remaining debt, and the fair value of total debt as of March 31, 2025. For variable rate mortgages and unsecured credit facilities for which we have interest rate swaps in place to fix the interest rate, they are included in the Fixed rate debt section below at their all-in fixed rate. The table is presented by year of expected maturity to evaluate the expected cash flows and sensitivity to interest rate changes. Although the average interest rate for variable rate debt is included in the table, those rates represent rates that existed as of March 31, 2025, and are subject to change. In addition, we continually assess the market risk for floating rate debt and believe that an increase of 100 basis points in interest rates would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $2.7 million per year based on $274.6 million of floating rate mortgage debt and floating rate line of credit balances outstanding at March 31, 2025.
Further, the table below incorporates only those exposures that exist as of March 31, 2025, and does not consider exposures or positions that could arise after that date or obligations repaid before maturity. Since firm but unused commitments are not presented, the table has limited predictive value. As a result, our ultimate realized gain or loss with respect to interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period, our hedging strategies at that time, and actual interest rates.
The table below presents the principal cash flow payments associated with our outstanding debt by year, weighted average interest rates on debt outstanding at each year-end, and fair value of total debt as of March 31, 2025.

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See Note 13 — Commitments and Contingencies in the Notes for discussion regarding material legal proceedings and contingencies. Except as set forth in such discussion, there have been no material developments in legal proceedings as reported in Item 3. "Legal Proceedings" of our 2024 Form 10-K.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Item 1A. of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 (“2024 Annual Report”) and the additional risk factor identified during 2025 detailed below:
Evolving political and economic events and uncertainties, including tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, international trade disputes, and immigration policies could adversely impact the businesses of our tenants and our business.
The success of the Company's tenants in operating their businesses and their corresponding ability to pay rent continue to be influenced by evolving political, economic, trade and immigration policies and macroeconomic uncertainties, and the success of the Company's tenants, in the aggregate, is important to the operating and financial success of the Company. These issues include, but are not limited to, the potential for impacts from tariffs and potential trade disputes, retaliatory actions by other countries, inflation, the cost and availability of labor, including labor shortages related to deportations or threat of deportations, increasing energy prices and interest rates, supply chain disruptions, and access to and cost of credit. Additionally, geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges, including the war involving Russia and Ukraine, the current Middle East conflicts and wars, and economic conflicts with China, as well as the slowing of its economy, could impact aspects of the U.S. economy and, therefore, consumer confidence and spending. The policies implemented by the U.S. government to address these and related issues, including changes by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of its benchmark federal funds rate, increases or decreases in federal government spending, and economic sanctions and tariffs, could result in adverse impacts on the U.S. economy, including inflation, reduction in consumer confidence and spending, a slowing of growth, and potentially a recession, thereby adversely impacting the costs to our tenants of operating their businesses, demand for their products and services, and their ability to pay rent, and/or decreasing future demand for space in shopping centers, which could adversely impact occupancy rates and rents. The potential impact of current macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is subject to change and continues to depend on the extent and duration of these risks and uncertainties.
