EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and CBL & Associates Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" mean CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to the "Operating Partnership" mean CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. The terms "we," "us" and "our" refer to the Company or the Company and the Operating Partnership collectively, as the context requires.

The Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") whose stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange. The Company is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At September 30, 2014, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 84.3% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by the Company of 85.3%.

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

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


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


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


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

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

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


•	condensed consolidated financial statements;


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


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


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

Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

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

Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation

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

CBL conducts substantially all of its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE"). As of September 30, 2014, the Operating Partnership owned interests in the following properties:



	Malls ⁽¹⁾	Associated Centers	Community Centers	Office Buildings⁽²⁾	Total
Consolidated properties	73	25	6	8	112
Unconsolidated properties ⁽³⁾	9	4	5	5	23
Total	82	29	11	13	135


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


(2)	Includes CBL's corporate office building.


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

At September 30, 2014, the Operating Partnership had interests in the following properties under development:



	Consolidated Properties			Unconsolidated Properties
	Malls	Associated Centers	Community Centers	Malls	Community Centers
Development	—	—	1	—	—
Expansions	—	—	—	—	2
Redevelopment	2	1	—	1	—

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

CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At September 30, 2014, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned an 84.3% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 85.3%.

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

The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership is held by CBL & Associates, Inc., its shareholders and affiliates and certain senior officers of the Company (collectively "CBL's Predecessor"), all of which contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partner interest when the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993, and by various third parties. At September 30, 2014, CBL’s Predecessor owned a 9.1% limited partner interest and third parties owned a 5.6% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL's Predecessor also owned 3.4 million shares of CBL’s common stock at September 30, 2014, for a total combined effective interest of 10.8% in the Operating Partnership.

The Operating Partnership conducts the Company’s property management and development activities through its wholly-owned subsidiary, CBL & Associates Management, Inc.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, they have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results for the interim period ended September 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.

Certain historical amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year's presentation. The financial results of certain properties that met the criteria for classification as discontinued operations, prior to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08") in the first quarter of 2014, have been classified as discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented herein. Except where noted, the information presented in the Notes to Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements excludes discontinued operations.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.

Note 2 – Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Accounting Guidance Adopted

In February 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2013-04, Obligations Resulting from Joint and Several Liability Arrangements for Which the Total Amount of the Obligation Is Fixed at the Reporting Date ("ASU 2013-04"). ASU 2013-04 addresses the diversity in practice related to the recognition, measurement and disclosure of certain obligations which are not addressed within existing GAAP guidance. Such obligations under the scope of ASU 2013-04 include debt arrangements, other contractual obligations, settled litigation and judicial rulings. The guidance requires an entity to measure these joint and several obligations as the sum of the amount the reporting entity agreed to pay on the basis of its arrangement among its co-obligors as well as any additional amount the reporting entity expects to pay on behalf of its co-obligors. ASU 2013-04 also requires an entity to disclose information about the nature and amount of these obligations. For public companies, ASU 2013-04 was effective on a retrospective basis for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of ASU 2013-04 did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In July 2013, the FASB issued ASU 2013-11, Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carryforward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carryforward Exists ("ASU 2013-11"). The objective of this update is to reduce the diversity in practice related to the presentation of certain unrecognized tax benefits. ASU 2013-11 provides that unrecognized tax benefits are to be presented as a reduction of a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss ("NOL") carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward when settlement in this manner is available under the governing tax law. To the extent such an NOL carryforward, a similar tax loss or a tax credit carryforward is not available at the reporting date under the governing tax law to settle taxes that would result from the disallowance of the tax position or the entity does not intend to use the deferred tax asset for this purpose, the unrecognized tax benefit is to be recorded as a liability in the financial statements and should not be netted with a deferred tax asset. ASU 2013-11 was effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2013 and interim periods within those years. The guidance is applied prospectively to all unrecognized tax benefits that exist at the effective date. Retrospective application was permitted. The adoption of ASU 2013-11 did not have an impact on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08. This update changes the criteria for reporting discontinued operations and provides enhanced disclosures about the financial effects of discontinued operations. The intent of the guidance is to require an entity to classify disposals as discontinued operations only when they clearly represent a major strategic business shift such as a disposal of a line of business, significant geographical area or major equity method investment. For significant disposals not classified as discontinued operations, ASU 2014-08 requires the disclosure of the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the disposal for the period in which it is disposed of (or is classified as held for sale) and for all prior periods that are presented. If a significant disposal not classified as discontinued operations includes a noncontrolling interest, the pre-tax income or loss attributable to the parent for the period in which it is disposed of or is classified as held for sale is disclosed. For public companies, ASU 2014-08 is effective on a prospective basis for all disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that occur within annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014 and interim periods within those years. Early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals (or classifications as held for sale) that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. The Company elected to adopt this guidance in the first quarter of 2014. The Company expects the majority of its disposals in the future will not meet the criteria under ASU 2014-08 to be classified as discontinued operations, which will reduce the requirement to reclassify discontinued operations for both the period of disposal (or classification as held for sale) and for comparative periods.

Accounting Guidance Not Yet Effective

In May 2014, the FASB and the International Accounting Standards Board jointly issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("ASU 2014-09"). The objective of this converged standard is to enable financial statement users to better understand and analyze revenue by replacing current transaction and industry-specific guidance with a more principles-based approach to revenue recognition. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that the entity expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires additional disclosure about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other guidance such as lease and insurance contracts. For public companies, ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016 and interim periods within those years using one of two retrospective application methods. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that this update may have on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 – Fair Value Measurements

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

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

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

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

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

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

The following tables set forth information regarding the Company’s financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:



			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using

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

Intangible lease assets and other assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets include marketable securities consisting of corporate equity securities that are classified as available-for-sale. Net unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities that are deemed to be temporary in nature are recorded as a component of AOCI in redeemable noncontrolling interests, shareholders’ equity and partners' capital, and noncontrolling interests. If a decline in the value of an investment is deemed to be other than temporary, the investment is written down to fair value and an impairment loss is recognized in the current period to the extent of the decline in value. During the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, the Company did not record any write-downs related to other-than-temporary impairments. The Company did not recognize any realized gains or losses related to sales of marketable securities during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013. The fair values of the Company’s available-for-sale securities are based on quoted market prices and are classified under Level 1.

The following is a summary of the available-for-sale securities held by the Company as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:



			Gross Unrealized
	Adjusted Cost		Gains		Losses		Fair Value
September 30, 2014:
Common stocks	$	4,195	$	16,018	$	—	$	20,213



			Gross Unrealized
	Adjusted Cost		Gains		Losses		Fair Value
December 31, 2013:
Common stocks	$	4,195	$	9,778	$	—	$	13,973

The Company uses interest rate swaps and caps to mitigate the effect of interest rate movements on its variable-rate debt. The Company had four interest rate swaps as of September 30, 2014 and four interest rate swaps and one interest rate cap as of December 31, 2013, that qualified as hedging instruments and were designated as cash flow hedges. The interest rate cap is included in intangible lease assets and other assets and the interest rate swaps are reflected in accounts payable and accrued liabilities in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets. The swaps and cap have met the effectiveness test criteria since inception and changes in their fair values are, thus, reported in other comprehensive income (loss) ("OCI/L") and are reclassified into earnings in the same period or periods during which the hedged items affect earnings. The fair values of the Company’s interest rate hedges, classified under Level 2, are determined based on prevailing market data for contracts with matching durations, current and anticipated LIBOR information, consideration of the Company’s credit standing, credit risk of the counterparties and reasonable estimates about relevant future market conditions. See Note 6 for further information regarding the Company’s interest rate hedging instruments.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these financial instruments. Based on the interest rates for similar financial instruments, the carrying value of mortgage and other notes receivable is a reasonable estimate of fair value. The estimated fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $4,905,034 and $5,126,300 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013,

respectively. The fair value was calculated using Level 2 inputs by discounting future cash flows for mortgage and other indebtedness using estimated market rates at which similar loans would be made currently. The carrying amount of mortgage and other indebtedness was $4,711,421 and $4,857,523 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company measures the fair value of certain long-lived assets on a nonrecurring basis, through quarterly impairment testing or when events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of the assets may not be recoverable. The Company considers both quantitative and qualitative factors in its impairment analysis of long-lived assets. Significant quantitative factors include historical and forecasted information for each property such as net operating income ("NOI"), occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the property and tenant mix. Due to the significant unobservable estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of long-lived assets that experience impairment, the Company classifies such long-lived assets under Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy. The fair value analysis as of September 30, 2014 used various probability-weighted scenarios comparing the property's net book value to the sum of its estimated fair value. Assumptions included up to a 10-year holding period with a sale at the end of the holding period and capitalization rates ranging from 9% to 12%.

The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis:



			Fair Value Measurements at Reporting Date Using

Long-lived Assets Measured at Fair Value in 2014

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company wrote down three properties to their estimated fair values. These properties were Chapel Hill Mall, Lakeshore Mall and Pemberton Plaza. All three of these properties were disposed of as of September 30, 2014 as described below.

In accordance with the Company's quarterly impairment review process, the Company recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $12,050 in the first quarter of 2014 related to Chapel Hill Mall, located in Akron, OH, to write-down the depreciated book value to its estimated fair value of $53,348 as of March 31, 2014. The mall had experienced declining cash flows which were insufficient to cover the debt service on the mortgage secured by the property and the non-recourse loan was in default. In September 2014, the Company conveyed Chapel Hill Mall to the lender by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. See Note 6 for additional information.

The Company recognized a non-cash impairment of real estate of $5,100 when it adjusted the book value of Lakeshore Mall, located in Sebring, FL, to its estimated fair value of $13,780 based on a binding purchase agreement signed in April 2014. The sale closed in May 2014 and the Company recognized an impairment loss of $106 in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of additional closing costs.

In September 2014, the Company recognized an impairment loss of $497 to true-up the fair value of Pemberton Plaza, a community center located in Vicksburg, MS, to its net sales price. See Note 4 for further information on this sale.

Note 4 – Disposals and Discontinued Operations

In the first quarter of 2014, the Company adopted ASU 2014-08, which changed the definition and criteria of property disposals classified as discontinued operations, on a prospective basis.

Cost Method Investment

The Company owns a 6.2% noncontrolling interest in subsidiaries of Jinsheng, an established mall operating and real estate development company located in Nanjing, China. The Company accounts for its noncontrolling interest in Jinsheng using the cost method because the Company does not exercise significant influence over Jinsheng and there is no readily determinable market value of Jinsheng’s shares since they are not publicly traded. The carrying amount of this investment was $5,325 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The noncontrolling interest is reflected as investment in unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Interest Rate Hedge Instruments

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

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

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

As of September 30, 2014, the Company had the following outstanding interest rate derivatives that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk:

Note 10 – Equity and Capital

At-The-Market Equity Program

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

The Company did not sell any shares under the ATM program during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014. The following table summarizes issuances of common stock sold through the ATM program during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013:



	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
Number of shares settled	8,419,298
Gross proceeds	$	211,493
Net proceeds	$	209,596
Weighted-average sales price	$	25.12

The net proceeds from the ATM sales were used to reduce the balances on the Company's credit facilities. Since the commencement of the ATM program, CBL has issued 8,419,298 shares of common stock and approximately $88,507 remains available that may be sold under this program as of September 30, 2014. Actual future sales will depend on a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of CBL's common stock and the Company's capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the remaining shares available under the ATM program.

Note 11 – Earnings Per Share and Earnings per Unit

Earnings per Share of the Company

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted EPS assumes the issuance of common stock for all potential dilutive common shares outstanding. The limited partners’ rights to convert their noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership into shares of common stock are not dilutive. There were no potential dilutive common shares and there were no anti-dilutive shares for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Earnings per Unit of the Operating Partnership

Basic earnings per unit (“EPU”) is computed by dividing net income attributable to common unitholders by the weighted-average number of common units outstanding for the period. Diluted EPU assumes the issuance of common units for all potential dilutive common units outstanding. There were no potential dilutive common units and there were no anti-dilutive units for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013.

Note 12 – Contingencies

Litigation

The Company is currently involved in certain litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters using the latest information available. The Company records a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, the Company accrues the best estimate within the range. If no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the Company accrues the minimum amount

Table of Contents

within the range. If an unfavorable outcome is probable but the amount of the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, the Company discloses the nature of the litigation and indicates that an estimate of the loss or range of loss cannot be made. If an unfavorable outcome is reasonably possible and the estimated loss is material, the Company discloses the nature and estimate of the possible loss of the litigation. The Company does not disclose information with respect to litigation where an unfavorable outcome is considered to be remote or where the estimated loss would not be material. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition of the Company.

On March 11, 2010, The Promenade D'Iberville, LLC (“TPD”), a subsidiary of the Company, filed a lawsuit in the Circuit Court of Harrison County, Mississippi (the "Mississippi Case"), against M. Hanna Construction Co., Inc. (“M Hanna”), Gallet & Associates, Inc., LA Ash, Inc., EMJ Corporation (“EMJ”) and JEA (f/k/a Jacksonville Electric Authority), seeking damages for alleged property damage and related damages occurring at a shopping center development in D'Iberville, Mississippi. EMJ filed an answer and counterclaim denying liability and seeking to recover from TPD the retainage of approximately $327 allegedly owed under the construction contract. Kohl's Department Stores, Inc. (“Kohl's”) was granted permission to intervene in the Mississippi Case and, on April 13, 2011, filed a cross-claim against TPD alleging that TPD is liable to Kohl's for unspecified damages resulting from the actions of the defendants and for the failure to perform the obligations of TPD under a Site Development Agreement with Kohl's. Kohl's also made a claim against the Company based on the Company's guarantee of the performance of TPD under the Site Development Agreement. The claim by EMJ against the Company has been dismissed, and based on information currently available, the Company believes the likelihood of an unfavorable outcome related to the claims made by Kohl's against the Company in connection with the Mississippi case is remote. The Company provided disclosure of this litigation due to the related party relationship between the Company and EMJ described below. In February 2014 and August 2013, TPD received partial settlements of $800 and $8,240, respectively, from certain of the defendants in the Mississippi Case described above. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, TPD agreed to a resolution of its claims in this litigation against defendant EMJ. See Note 16 for further information. Litigation continues with the other remaining defendants in the matter. Trial for those remaining claims has been continued from its previously scheduled September 2014 setting. The parties are petitioning the court for a new setting.

TPD also has filed claims under several insurance policies in connection with this matter, and there are three pending lawsuits relating to insurance coverage. On October 8, 2010, First Mercury Insurance Company (“First Mercury”) filed an action in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas against M Hanna and TPD seeking a declaratory judgment concerning coverage under a liability insurance policy issued by First Mercury to M Hanna. That case was dismissed for lack of federal jurisdiction and refiled in Texas state court. On June 13, 2011, TPD filed an action in the Chancery Court of Hamilton County, Tennessee (the "Tennessee Case") against National Union Fire Insurance Company of Pittsburgh, PA (“National Union”) and EMJ seeking a declaratory judgment regarding coverage under a liability insurance policy issued by National Union to EMJ and recovery of damages arising out of National Union's breach of its obligations. In March 2012, Zurich American and Zurich American of Illinois, which also have issued liability insurance policies to EMJ, intervened in the Tennessee Case and the case was set for trial on October 29, 2013 but, currently, the trial date has been extended while the parties mediate the case. The first mediation session took place on January 14-15, 2014, and the second session took place on March 18-19, 2014. A third session was held on May 22, 2014. On February 14, 2012, TPD filed claims in the United States District Court for the Southern District of Mississippi against Factory Mutual Insurance Company and Federal Insurance Company seeking a declaratory judgment concerning coverage under certain builders risk and property insurance policies issued by those respective insurers to the Company. The Tennessee Case was dismissed in September 2014, after a resolution of those claims. The remaining claims are still pending.

Lebovitz, Chairman of the Board of the Company, collectively have a significant non-controlling interest in EMJ, a major national construction company that the Company engaged to build a substantial number of the Company's properties. EMJ is one of the defendants in the Mississippi Case and in the Tennessee Case described above.

Environmental Contingencies

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

Guarantees

The Company may guarantee the debt of a joint venture primarily because it allows the joint venture to obtain funding at a lower cost than could be obtained otherwise. This results in a higher return for the joint venture on its investment, and a higher return on the Company’s investment in the joint venture. The Company may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when the Company issues a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that

the Company may receive indemnification from the joint venture partner or have the ability to increase its ownership interest. The guarantees expire upon repayment of the debt, unless noted otherwise.

The following table represents the Company's guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013:

(1)	Excludes any extension options.


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


(3)	The guaranty was reduced from 100% to 25% in the third quarter of 2014 when Carmike Cinema became operational in August 2014.

(4)

The Company received a 1% fee for this guaranty when the loan was issued in March 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, the loan was modified and extended to increase the capacity to $47,291, which increased the maximum guaranteed amount. The loan was amended and modified in August 2014 to reduce the guaranty from 100% to 50%. The guaranty will be reduced to 25% upon the opening of LA Fitness and payment of contractual rent. The guaranty will be further reduced to 15% when Phase I of the development has been open for one year and the debt service coverage ratio of 1.30 to 1.00 is met.


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

(6)

The Company received a 1% fee for this guaranty when the loan was issued in August 2014. The guaranty will be reduced to 50% upon the closing of the Dillard's outparcel sale. Upon completion of Phase II of the development and once certain leasing and occupancy metrics have been met, the guaranty will be 25%. The guaranty will be further reduced to 15% when Phase II of the development has been open for one year, the debt service coverage ratio of 1.30 to 1.00 is met and Dillard's is operational.

The Company has guaranteed the lease performance of York Town Center, LP ("YTC"), an unconsolidated affiliate in which the Company owns a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. The Company has guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22,000, which decreases by $800 annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10,000. The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020. The maximum guaranteed obligation was $16,400 as of September 30, 2014. The Company entered into an agreement with its joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse the Company 50% of any amounts it is obligated to fund under the guaranty. The Company did not include an obligation for this guaranty because it determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

Performance Bonds

The Company has issued various bonds that it would have to satisfy in the event of non-performance. The total amount outstanding on these bonds was $19,673 and $23,513 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation

As of September 30, 2014, there were two share-based compensation plans under which the Company has outstanding awards, the 2012 Plan and the 1993 Plan, as defined below. The Company can elect to make new awards under one of these plans, the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 2012 Stock Incentive Plan ("the 2012 Plan"), which was approved by the Company's

Table of Contents

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

Share-based compensation expense was $628 and $418 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $3,095 and $2,296 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively. Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $77 and $54 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $200 and $159 for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

A summary of the status of the Company’s stock awards as of September 30, 2014, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, is presented below:



	Shares		Weighted Average Grant-Date Fair Value
Nonvested at January 1, 2014	478,216		$	18.72

Note 15 – Income Taxes

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

As a REIT, the Company is generally not liable for federal corporate income taxes. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will be subject to federal and state income taxes on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company maintains its qualification as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income. State tax expense was $801 and $674 during the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $2,811 and $2,680 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Table of Contents

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

The Company recorded an income tax provision as follows for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2014 and 2013:



	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			2014			2013
Current tax benefit (provision)	$	(2,159	)	$	(428	)	$	(3,026	)	$	812
Deferred tax benefit (provision)	(924		)	157			(1,240		)	(1,666		)
Income tax provision	$	(3,083	)	$	(271	)	$	(4,266	)	$	(854	)

The Company had a net deferred tax asset of $627 and $4,893 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The net deferred tax asset at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 is included in intangible lease assets and other assets and primarily consisted of operating expense accruals and differences between book and tax depreciation.

The Company reports any income tax penalties attributable to its properties as property operating expenses and any corporate-related income tax penalties as general and administrative expenses in its condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition, any interest incurred on tax assessments is reported as interest expense. The Company reported nominal interest and penalty amounts for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Note 16 – Subsequent Events

In October 2014, Columbia Place was conveyed to the lender of the non-recourse loan secured by the property through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. See Note 6 for additional information.

In October 2014, TPD agreed to a resolution of its claims against defendant EMJ in the litigation described in Note 12. Pursuant to this agreement, TPD received partial settlements of $970 and $250, respectively, from one of EMJ’s insurance carriers in October 2014, and additional amounts of $4,750 and $5,000 are due to be paid to TPD in December 2014 and January 2015, respectively. Further, EMJ agreed to be responsible for up to a maximum of $6,600 of future costs incurred by TPD in remediating damages to its shopping center site under certain circumstances as set forth in the agreement, and agreed that such limitation would not apply to its potential responsibility for any future remediation required under applicable environmental laws (should such claims arise). Litigation continues with the other remaining defendants in the matter.

In October 2014, the Company retired an operating property loan, with a principal balance of $113,400 outstanding as of September 30, 2014, with borrowings from its credit facilities. The loan was secured by Mall del Norte in Laredo, TX and was scheduled to mature in December 2014.

In October 2014, the Operating Partnership issued $300,000 of senior unsecured notes that bear interest at 4.60% payable semiannually beginning April 15, 2015 and mature on October 15, 2024 ("the 2024 Notes"). The interest rate will be subject to an increase ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% from time to time if, on or after January 1, 2016 and prior to January 1, 2020, the ratio of secured debt to total assets of the Company, as defined, is greater than 40% but less than 45%. The 2024 Notes are redeemable at the Operating Partnership's election, in whole or in part from time to time, on not less than 30 days notice to the holders of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed. The 2024 Notes may be redeemed prior to July 15, 2024 for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed or (2) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2024 Notes to be redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the treasury rate, as defined, plus 0.35%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. CBL is a limited guarantor of the Operating Partnership's obligations under the 2024 Notes, for losses suffered solely by reason of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Operating Partnership or its affiliates. On or after July 15, 2024, the 2024 Notes are redeemable for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2024 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest. After deducting underwriting and other offering expenses of $2,245 and a discount of $75, the net proceeds from the sale of the 2024 Notes was approximately $297,680, which the Operating Partnership used to reduce the outstanding balances on its credit facilities.

The Company has evaluated subsequent events through the date of issuance of these financial statements.

EXECUTIVE OVERVIEW

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

We consolidate the financial statements of all entities in which we have a controlling financial interest or where we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE. As of September 30, 2014, we owned interests in the following properties:



	Malls⁽¹⁾	Associated Centers	Community Centers	Office Buildings ⁽²⁾	Total
Consolidated properties	73	25	6	8	112
Unconsolidated properties ⁽³⁾	9	4	5	5	23
Total	82	29	11	13	135

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

(2) Includes our corporate office building.

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

At September 30, 2014, we had interests in the following properties under development:



	Consolidated Properties			Unconsolidated Properties
	Malls	Associated Centers	Community Centers	Malls	Community Centers
Development	—	—	1	—	—
Expansions	—	—	—	—	2
Redevelopment	2	1	—	1	—

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

From a strategic perspective, we are focused on enhancing long-term growth. Operationally, we continue to proactively take advantage of opportunities to upgrade both mall shop and anchor retailers through value-added redevelopment, expansions and ongoing retenanting. We are also maintaining tight expense controls and finding new ways to create efficiencies in our operations.

Our path to a higher-growth portfolio is founded on upgrading the overall quality of our portfolio. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we began segmenting our malls into three tiers based solely on sales per square foot: Tier One comprises malls with sales of over $375 per square foot, Tier Two malls have sales between $300 and $375 per square foot and Tier Three malls have sales below $300 per square foot. In the coming years, our goal is to generate more than 90% of our mall NOI from Tier One and Tier Two malls, which we expect will allow us to achieve higher occupancy, leasing spreads, sales per square foot and NOI growth. Our long-term goal is to move same-center NOI growth to a sustainable range of 2-4%. To achieve these goals, we identified 21 malls and their related associated centers that we are currently targeting for disposition. The identified malls consist primarily of Tier Three malls, but do include some Tier Two malls. We sold Lakeshore Mall, a Tier Three mall, for $14.0 million in the second quarter of 2014. We continue to progress in our disposition efforts, which included the sale of a community center in September 2014 for $2.0 million. Additionally, in the third quarter of 2014, Chapel Hill Mall, a non-core property, was conveyed to the lender of the non-recourse loan secured by the mall through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure, resulting in an $18.2 million non-cash gain on extinguishment of debt. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, we also conveyed Columbia Place, a non-core property, to the lender of the non-recourse loan secured by the mall through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

Investing in higher-growth opportunities is equally important to our business transformation. Our outlet center projects, new development and redevelopment projects generate accretive returns and ongoing growth. In July 2014, we opened The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass in Louisville (Simpsonville), KY, which represents the fifth outlet mall in our portfolio. Our strategy is to continue to invest in a pipeline of developments of higher-growth assets over the next few years.

Third quarter 2014 results reflect the positive impact of our strategic initiatives in upgrading the quality of our tenant mix, redevelopment and expansion activities at existing centers. Same-center NOI growth accelerated to 3.0% in the third quarter of 2014 as compared to the prior-year period. Leasing spreads were up 17.6% for stabilized mall leases signed in the third quarter of 2014 and occupancy for our same-center stabilized malls was 93.3%, an increase of 40 basis points as compared to 92.9% in the second quarter of 2014.

Table of Contents

Financially, our investment grade ratings have increased our flexibility and borrowing options in the public debt markets. In conjunction with our operational initiatives described above, our goal is to continue to build a high-quality unencumbered asset pool, which will reduce our cost of capital and provide us more opportunities to access the capital markets. We plan to continue to retire debt on our wholly-owned properties at the earliest prepayment date and our goal is to reduce our leverage on our balance sheet to a ratio of debt to total asset value of less than 50% as we implement these plans over the next few years. In October 2014, we executed a $300.0 million offering of senior unsecured notes at a 4.60% coupon and added Mall del Norte to our unencumbered asset pool through the retirement of the $113.4 million loan on this property. We also have availability of approximately $0.9 billion at September 30, 2014 through our credit facilities. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the availability on our credit facilities increased to $1.2 billion as we used the proceeds from our $300.0 million offering to reduce outstanding balances on our credit lines. The expanded availability on our credit facilities enables us to retire secured debt over the next twelve months and pursue strategic acquisitions and investments in our portfolio.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Properties that were in operation for the entire year during 2013 and the nine months ended September 30, 2014 are referred to as the “Comparable Properties.” Since January 1, 2013, we have opened two outlet centers and two community center developments as follows:



Property	Location	Date Opened
New Developments:
The Crossings at Marshalls Creek	Middle Smithfield, PA	June 2013
The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta ⁽¹⁾	Woodstock, GA	July 2013
Fremaux Town Center⁽²⁾	Slidell, LA	March 2014
The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass ⁽³⁾	Simpsonville, KY	July 2014



(1)	The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta is a 75/25 joint venture and is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations on a consolidated basis.
(2)	Fremaux Town Center is a 65/35 joint venture that is accounted for using the equity method of accounting and is included in equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations.
(3)	The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass is a 65/35 joint venture and is included in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations on a consolidated basis.

Of these properties, The Crossings at Marshalls Creek, The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta and The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass are included in our operations on a consolidated basis and are collectively referred to as the “New Properties.” The transactions related to the New Properties impact the comparison of the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 to the results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended September 30, 2014 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2013

Revenues

Total revenues increased $1.2 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior-year period. Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements increased by $2.4 million due to increases of $3.2 million related to the New Properties partially offset by a decrease of $0.8 million from the Comparable Properties. The $0.8 million change includes decreases of $2.9 million from 2014 dispositions and $1.9 million from non-core properties and those in redevelopment partially offset by a $4.0 million increase related to our same-center properties due to higher occupancy and improved leasing results.

Our cost recovery ratio for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was 99.8% compared with 94.9% for the prior-year period primarily due to a decrease in property operating expenses.

The increase of $0.1 million in management, development and leasing fees was primarily attributable to an increase of $0.6 million of development fee income, partially offset by a decrease of $0.5 million in management fees.

Other revenues decreased $1.3 million primarily due to $0.9 million received in the prior year as a claims settlement for lost business as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill and a decrease of $0.4 million in revenue related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $1.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior-year period, which was primarily attributable to a $3.5 million increase in depreciation and amortization expense related to capital expenditures for renovations, redevelopment and deferred maintenance partially offset by a decrease in property operating

Table of Contents

expenses. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, decreased $2.9 million primarily due to a decrease of $3.7 million attributable to the Comparable Properties, partially offset by an increase of $0.8 million related to the New Properties. The $3.7 million decrease in property operating expenses of the Comparable Properties is primarily attributable to decreases in insurance expense and real estate taxes, which were partially offset by an increase in bad debt expense.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $3.5 million resulted from increases of $2.5 million related to the Comparable Properties and $1.0 million attributable to the New Properties. The increase attributable to the Comparable Properties is primarily due to increases of $1.8 million in amortization of tenant allowances, which results mainly from write-offs associated with tenant closings, and $1.5 million in depreciation expense related to capital expenditures for renovations, redevelopments and deferred maintenance.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.7 million primarily due to a decrease in payroll and related expense partially offset by increases in consultant and legal fees. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 3.7% and 3.9% for the third quarters of 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In the third quarter of 2014, we recognized an impairment of $0.5 million to write-down the book value of Pemberton Plaza to its net sales price upon its sale in September 2014.

Other expenses increased $1.0 million primarily due to higher expenses related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and other income decreased $8.3 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to $8.2 million received as a partial settlement of a lawsuit in 2013.

Interest expense increased $3.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior-year period. Interest expense at the corporate level increased $5.9 million primarily due to the interest on the bonds that were issued during the fourth quarter of 2013, the proceeds of which were used to reduce outstanding borrowings on our credit facilities that bear interest at a lower rate than the bonds. Interest expense at the property level decreased $1.7 million for our same-center properties, partially offset by an increase of $0.9 million in interest from the New Properties.

During the third quarter of 2014, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $18.2 million as a result of the conveyance of Chapel Hill Mall to the lender, representing the excess of the outstanding balance of the debt extinguished over the net book value of the property as of the transfer date. See Note 6 for additional information.

In the third quarter of 2014, we recognized $0.4 million of gain on sales of real estate assets for the sale of four outparcels. We recognized a $0.1 million gain on sale of real estate assets in the third quarter of 2013 attributable to additional consideration received for an outparcel previously taken through an eminent domain proceeding.

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $1.7 million during the third quarter of 2014 compared to the prior-year period. The $1.7 million increase consists of an increase of $1.0 million, which is primarily attributable to increases in base rents based on occupancy gains and growth in rental rates at several unconsolidated affiliates and $0.7 million of gain on sales of real estate assets related to the sales of three outparcels.

The income tax provision of $3.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2014 relates to the Management Company, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and consists of a current and deferred tax provision of $2.2 million and $0.9 million, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded an income tax provision of $0.3 million, consisting of a current tax provision of $0.4 million and a deferred tax benefit of less than $0.2 million.

Operating income from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2014 of $0.1 million includes settlements of estimated expenses based on actual results for properties sold in previous periods. The operating loss from discontinued operations for the three months ended September 30, 2013 of $8.3 million includes a $5.2 million loss on impairment of real estate to write down the net book value of a portfolio of six properties sold in the third quarter of 2013 to the net sales price, a $2.9 million write-off of straight line rent for properties sold during the period, the operating results of the three malls and three associated centers sold in a third quarter 2013 portfolio sale, and settlement of estimated expenses based on actual amounts for properties sold in previous periods. The $0.3 million gain on discontinued operations for the third quarter of 2013 is primarily attributable to recognition of a gain from the sale of two office buildings which had been deferred in December 2008 until subsequent repayment of the related notes receivable.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013

Revenues

Total revenues increased $5.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior-year period. Rental revenues and tenant reimbursements increased by $7.0 million due to increases of $11.4 million related to the New

Table of Contents

Properties and $7.6 million attributable to the Comparable Properties, partially offset by decreases of $7.8 million associated with 2014 property dispositions and $4.2 million attributable to our non-core properties. The increase in revenues at our Comparable Properties was due to higher occupancy and improved leasing results.

Our cost recovery ratio for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 was 97.8%.

The increase of $0.1 million in management, development and leasing fees was primarily attributable to an increase of $1.1 million in development fees related to the construction of an outlet center and a community center, partially offset by a decrease of $0.9 million in management fee income.

Other revenues decreased $1.9 million primarily due to a decrease of $1.3 million in revenue related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services to third parties and $0.9 million received in 2013 as a claims settlement for lost business as a result of the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, which was partially offset by an increase of $0.5 million in miscellaneous revenues.

Operating Expenses

Total operating expenses increased $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior-year period. Property operating expenses, including real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs, increased $0.8 million primarily due to an increase of $3.1 million attributable to the New Properties, partially offset by a decrease of $2.3 million related to the Comparable Properties. The decrease in property operating expenses of the Comparable Properties is primarily attributable to decreases in insurance expense and real estate taxes, which were partially offset by increases in bad debt expense and snow removal costs.

The increase in depreciation and amortization expense of $6.1 million resulted from increases of $3.5 million related to the New Properties and $4.4 million attributable to the Comparable Properties, which were partially offset by a decrease of $1.8 million related to 2014 dispositions. The $4.4 million increase attributable to the Comparable Properties is primarily due to increases of $5.3 million in depreciation expense related to capital expenditures for renovations, redevelopments and deferred maintenance, which were partially offset by a decrease in amortization of in-place leases.

General and administrative expenses decreased $0.9 million primarily as a result of decreases in travel costs and payroll and related costs, which were partially offset by increases in consultant fees and share-based compensation expense. As a percentage of revenues, general and administrative expenses were 4.6% and 4.7% for the nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate in continuing operations of $17.8 million to reduce the depreciated book value of Lakeshore Mall, Chapel Hill Mall and Pemberton Plaza to their estimated fair values. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded non-cash impairment charges of $21.0 million, which consisted of $20.4 million related to Citadel Mall and $0.6 million attributable to the trade-in of the Company's aircraft at a price below its cost basis.

Other expenses increased $0.1 million primarily due to higher expenses related to our subsidiary that provides security and maintenance services.

Other Income and Expenses

Interest and other income decreased $6.7 million compared to the prior-year period primarily due to $8.2 million received as partial settlement of litigation in the prior year, partially offset by an insurance claim reimbursement of $0.8 million and $0.8 million received as a partial settlement of ongoing litigation in the current year. See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on the partial legal settlements.

Interest expense increased $6.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior-year period. Interest expense at the corporate level increased $17.7 million primarily due to the interest on the bonds that were issued during the fourth quarter of 2013, the proceeds of which were used to reduce outstanding borrowings on our credit facilities that bear interest at a lower rate than the bonds. Interest expense at the property level included increases of $2.8 million from the New Properties, partially offset by decreases of $11.1 million related to the Comparable Properties due to our continued efforts to reduce debt levels and $1.2 million attributable to the 2014 dispositions.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of $60.9 million. We recognized a $43.9 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to the foreclosure of Citadel Mall as the carrying value of the mortgage loan exceeded the carrying value of the property that was transferred to the lender in satisfaction of that loan, an $18.2 million gain on extinguishment of debt related to the conveyance of Chapel Hill Mall to the lender of the non-recourse mortgage loan through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and a loss of $1.2 million due to a prepayment fee on the early retirement of a mortgage loan on St. Clair Square. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded a loss on extinguishment of debt of $9.1 million in connection with the early retirement of two mortgage loans. The loss was attributable to a prepayment fee of $8.7 million

Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates increased by $3.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 compared to the prior-year period. The $3.4 million increase consists of an increase of $2.7 million, which is primarily attributable to increases in base rents based on occupancy gains and growth in rental rates at several unconsolidated affiliates and $0.7 million of gain on sales of real estate assets related to the sale of three outparcels.

The income tax provision of $4.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 relates to the Management Company, which is a taxable REIT subsidiary, and consists of a current and deferred tax provision of $3.0 million and over $1.2 million, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recorded an income tax provision of $0.9 million, consisting of a current tax benefit of $0.8 million and a deferred tax provision of $1.7 million.

The gain on discontinued operations of $0.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 relates to true-ups for properties sold in previous periods. The $1.2 million gain on discontinued operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 represents the gain from the sale of five office buildings sold during the period as well as recognition of a gain from the sale of two office buildings which had been deferred in December 2008 until subsequent repayment of the related notes receivable.

Same-Center Net Operating Income

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

Similar to Funds from Operations ("FFO"), we compute NOI based on our pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. Our definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies, and accordingly, our calculation of NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies.

Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of our shopping center properties, we believe that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs and the impact of those trends on our results of operations. In the fourth quarter of 2013, we modified our calculation of same-center NOI to exclude lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, and amortization of above and below market lease intangibles in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another, as these items can be impacted by one-time events that may distort same-center NOI trends and may result in same-center NOI that is not indicative of the ongoing operations of our shopping center and other properties. Same-center NOI is for real estate properties and does not include the results of operations of the Company's subsidiary that provides janitorial, security and maintenance services.

We include a property in our same-center pool when we have owned all or a portion of the property since January 1 of the preceding calendar year and it has been in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year and current year-to-date period. New Properties are excluded from same-center NOI, until they meet this criteria. The only properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet this criteria are non-core properties, properties under major redevelopment, properties where we intend to renegotiate the terms of the debt secured by the related property and properties included in discontinued operations. See below for a list of our non-core and lender properties as of September 30, 2014. Properties under major redevelopment as of September 30, 2014 include Chesterfield Mall, Northgate Mall, CoolSprings Galleria, Wausau Center, the Annex at Monroeville and the former Sears store at Fayette Mall.

Due to the exclusions noted above, same-center NOI should only be used as a supplemental measure of our performance and not as an alternative to GAAP operating income (loss) or net income (loss). A reconciliation of our same-center NOI to net income attributable to the Company for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 and 2013 is as follows (in thousands):

Same-center NOI increased $5.1 million and $11.2 million for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2014 as compared to the same periods in 2013. Same-center NOI for the three and nine month periods ending September 30, 2014 increased 3.0% and 2.2%, respectively, as compared to the same periods in 2013. Our NOI growth of 3.0% for the three months ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the prior-year period benefited from an increase of 1.8% in average annual base rents for our same-center stabilized mall portfolio, which was partially offset by a decrease of 0.3% in same-center stabilized mall occupancy. The majority of NOI growth was driven by a $3.0 million and $10.5 million increase in minimum rents for the three and nine month periods ending September 30,2014 as well as a $2.2 million increase in tenant reimbursements for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014. Additionally, operating expenses decreased $0.6 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 as compared to the prior-year periods. These decreases are attributable to operating efficiencies and reductions in repairs and maintenance expense.

Operational Review

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

We classify our regional malls into four categories:


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


(2)	Non-stabilized malls - Malls that are in their initial lease-up phase. After three complete calendar years of operation, they are reclassified on January 1 of the fourth calendar year to the stabilized mall category. The Outlet Shoppes of the Bluegrass, which opened in July 2014, The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta, which opened in July 2013, and The

Table of Contents

Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City, which opened in August 2011, were classified as non-stabilized malls as of September 30, 2014. The Outlet Shoppes at Atlanta and The Outlet Shoppes at Oklahoma City were classified as non-stabilized malls as of September 30, 2013.

(3)

Non-core malls - Malls where we have determined that the current format of the property no longer represents the best use of the property and we are in the process of evaluating alternative strategies for the property, which may include major redevelopment or an alternative retail or non-retail format, or after evaluating alternative strategies for the property, we have determined that the property no longer meets our criteria for long-term investment. Similar criteria apply to the classification of an Associated Center or Community Center as a non-core property. The steps taken to reposition non-core properties, such as signing tenants to short-term leases, which are not included in occupancy percentages, or leasing to regional or local tenants, which typically do not report sales, may lead to metrics which do not provide relevant information related to the condition of the non-core properties. Therefore, traditional performance measures, such as occupancy percentages and leasing metrics, exclude non-core properties. Columbia Place and Madison Square were classified as non-core malls as of September 30, 2014. Columbia Place, Citadel Mall, Chapel Hill Mall and Madison Square were classified as non-core malls as of September 30, 2013. Additionally, Madison Plaza, an associated center adjacent to Madison Square, was classified as a non-core property as of September 30, 2014 and 2013. The foreclosure of Citadel Mall was completed in the first quarter of 2014 and Chapel Hill Mall and Columbia Place were conveyed to the respective lenders by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in September 2014 and October 2014, respectively.

(4)

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

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



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013
Malls	88.0	%	91.6	%
Associated centers	4.0	%	4.1	%
Community centers	1.8	%	1.7	%
Mortgages, office buildings and other	6.2	%	2.6	%

Mall Store Sales

Mall store sales include reporting mall tenants of 10,000 square feet or less for stabilized malls and exclude license agreements, which are retail contracts that are temporary or short-term in nature and generally last more than three months but less than twelve months. Same-store sales per square foot increased 0.8% for the quarter ended September 30, 2014 as many retailers posted healthy results for the back to school sales season. Mall store sales for the trailing twelve months ended September 30, 2014 on a comparable per square foot basis declined approximately 1.9% to $356 per square foot. Although we anticipate growth in sales from the upcoming holiday season in the fourth quarter, our expectations are that sales will be flat for the year.

For 2014, we continue to forecast occupancy improvements of 0 to 25 basis points as compared to 2013 for the total portfolio as well as for the stabilized mall portfolio as we continue to upgrade the retail mix in our portfolio. The slight decrease in occupancy for our same-center stabilized malls as compared to the prior-year period was primarily due to the timing of store openings.

Leasing spreads continue to reflect the strong demand for space at our properties. Rental rates for renewal leases improved as a result of the conversion of a number of below-market rates to full rates.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

As of September 30, 2014, we had approximately $358.2 million outstanding on our combined credit facilities leaving approximately $941.8 million of availability. In July 2014, our Coastal Grand 50/50 joint venture closed on a $126.0 million loan. The new loan was used to retire an existing loan, which had a balance of $75.2 million, as well as to pay off $18.0 million of subordinated notes, which were held 50/50 by us and our joint venture partner. Excess proceeds were distributed on a pro rata basis. Our share of the approximately $25.0 million in net proceeds was used to reduce outstanding balances on our credit facilities. The new 10-year non-recourse loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.0865%. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, we used availability on our credit facilities to retire our one remaining 2014 mortgage maturity, the $113.4 million mortgage loan secured by Mall del Norte. This continues our strategy of adding to our pool of unencumbered assets.

Table of Contents

In October 2014, we executed a $300.0 million offering of senior unsecured notes that bear interest at 4.60% payable semiannually beginning April 15, 2015 and maturing on October 15, 2024. Net proceeds from the offering were approximately $297.7 million, after deducting the underwriting discount and other offering expenses. Proceeds were used to reduce amounts outstanding under our credit facilities and for general business purposes.

We sold a community center in September 2014 for $2.0 million realizing net proceeds of $1.9 million. Additionally, two of our non-core malls, Chapel Hill Mall and Columbia Place, were conveyed to the respective lenders through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure in full satisfaction of the non-recourse debt secured by these malls. We transferred Chapel Hill Mall to the lender in September 2014 and recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $18.2 million in the third quarter of 2014. The transfer of Columbia Place occurred in October 2014 and will be reflected in fourth quarter 2014 results.

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

Cash Flows - Operating, Investing and Financing Activities

There was $45.1 million of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2014, a decrease of $20.4 million from December 31, 2013. Our cash flow activities are summarized as follows (in thousands):



	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014			2013			Change
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	329,334		$	336,037		$	(6,703	)
Net cash used in investing activities	(143,413		)	(63,393		)	(80,020		)
Net cash used in financing activities	(206,350		)	(276,304		)	69,954
Net cash flows	$	(20,429	)	$	(3,660	)	$	(16,769	)

The net decrease of $6.7 million in operating cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to:


•	a decrease in operating cash flows related to non-core properties and


•	a decrease in operating cash flows related to the properties that were sold since January 1, 2013, partially offset by


•	an increase in operating cash flows in our same-center portfolio due to the increase in NOI of those properties and


•	an increase of operating cash flows from the New Properties.

The net increase of $80.0 million in cash flows used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to:


•	a reduction in proceeds from the sale of real estate assets due to three malls, three associated centers and five office buildings that were sold during the nine months ended September 30, 2013;


•	a reduction in additions to and acquisitions of real estate assets related to the acquisition of the remaining 51% noncontrolling interest in Kirkwood Mall, construction of two outlet centers and the acquisition of a Sears store during the nine months ended September 30, 2013;


•	an increase in payments received on mortgage and other notes receivable related to the payment of a note receivable received as a component of the consideration for the sale of Lakeshore Mall during the nine months ended September 30, 2014;


•	a reduction in additional investments in unconsolidated affiliates due to advances during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 to fund the purchase of a Sears store and an initial equity contribution for the formation of a joint venture related to the development of Fremaux Town Center; and

Table of Contents


•	an increase in distributions in excess of equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates received during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 primarily related to excess proceeds from refinancings completed at certain unconsolidated affiliates.

The net decrease of $70.0 million related to cash flows used in financing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 was primarily due to:


•	a reduction related to the cash used to redeem the Westfield PJV units during the nine months ended September 30, 2013; partially offset by


•	a reduction in net borrowings on indebtedness and proceeds from issuance of common stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 that were used to fund the redemption of the Westfield PJV units.

Debt

Debt of the Company

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

We are a limited guarantor of the 5.25% senior notes, issued by the Operating Partnership in November 2013, for losses suffered solely by reason of fraud or willful misrepresentation by the Operating Partnership or its affiliates. We also provide a similar limited guarantee of the Operating Partnership's obligations with respect to our unsecured credit facilities and two unsecured term loans as of September 30, 2014.

We also have guaranteed 100% of the debt secured by The Promenade in D'Ilberville, MS, which had a balance of $48.1 million at September 30, 2014.

See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of senior notes issued by the Operating Partnership subsequent to September 30, 2014, for which CBL is a limited guarantor.

Debt of the Operating Partnership

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

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


(2)	We had four interest rate swaps with notional amounts outstanding totaling $106,677 as of September 30, 2014 and $109,830 as of December 31, 2013 related to four of our variable-rate loans on operating properties to effectively fix the interest rates on these loans. Therefore, these amounts are reflected in fixed-rate debt at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.


(3)	Net of discount in the amount of $4,322 and $4,626 as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.


(4)	A subsidiary of the Management Company entered into a term loan in May 2014.


(5)	This amount represented the noncontrolling partner's unreturned equity contribution related to Pearland Town Center that was accounted for as a financing due to certain terms of the CBL/T-C, LLC joint venture agreement. In March 2014, we purchased the noncontrolling interest as described below.

As of September 30, 2014, $161.5 million of our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt, excluding debt premiums, is scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2014 as well as $27.3 million related to Columbia Place, which matured in 2013. Subsequent to September 30, 2014, the deed to Columbia Place was conveyed to the lender and the debt the property secured was extinguished. We also retired an operating property loan, leaving a $48.1 million operating property loan that has an extension option we may exercise.

The weighted-average remaining term of our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated debt was 4.0 years at September 30, 2014 and 4.8 years at December 31, 2013. The weighted-average remaining term of our pro rata share of fixed-rate debt was 4.3 years and 5.2 years at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our pro rata share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt represented 18.7% and 17.3%, respectively, of our total pro rata share of debt. The increase is primarily due to an increase in variable-rate debt related to the construction of an outlet center and a community center as well as utilization of our credit facilities. As of September 30, 2014, our share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt represented 10.5% of our total market capitalization (see Equity below) as compared to 9.8% as of December 31, 2013.

Senior Unsecured Notes

In November 2013, the Operating Partnership issued $450.0 million of 2023 Notes. The interest rate is subject to an increase ranging from 0.25% to 1.00% from time to time if, on or after January 1, 2016 and prior to January 1, 2020, our ratio of secured debt to total assets, as defined, is greater than 40% but less than 45%. The 2023 Notes are redeemable at the Operating Partnership's election, in whole or in part from time to time, on not less than 30 days notice to the holders of the 2023 Notes to be redeemed. The 2023 Notes may be redeemed prior to September 1, 2023 for cash, at a redemption price equal to the greater of (1) 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes to be redeemed or (2) an amount equal to the sum of the present values of the remaining scheduled payments of principal and interest on the 2023 Notes to be redeemed, discounted to the redemption date on a semi-annual basis at the treasury rate, as defined, plus 0.40%, plus accrued and unpaid interest. On or after September 1, 2023,

the 2023 Notes are redeemable for cash at a redemption price equal to 100% of the aggregate principal amount of the 2023 Notes to be redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest.

See Note 16 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for a description of senior notes issued by the Operating Partnership subsequent to September 30, 2014.

Financing Obligation

In the first quarter of 2014, we exercised our right to acquire the 12.0% noncontrolling interest in Pearland Town Center, which was accounted for as a financing obligation upon its sale in October 2011, from our joint venture partner. The $17.9 million purchase price represented the partner's unreturned capital plus accrued and unpaid preferred return at a rate of 8.0%. See Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Unsecured Lines of Credit

We have three unsecured credit facilities that are used for retirement of secured loans, repayment of term loans, working capital, construction and acquisition purposes, as well as issuances of letters of credit.

Each facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 100 to 175 basis points based on our credit ratings. As of September 30, 2014, the interest rate based on our credit ratings of Baa3 from Moody's and BBB- from Fitch is LIBOR plus 140 basis points. Additionally, we pay an annual facility fee that ranges from 0.15% to 0.35% of the total capacity of each facility. As of September 30, 2014, the annual facility fee was 0.30%. The three unsecured lines of credit had a weighted-average interest rate of 1.55% at September 30, 2014.

Other

Several of our malls/open-air centers, associated centers and community centers, in addition to our corporate office building, are owned by special purpose entities, created as a requirement under certain loan agreements, that are included in the our condensed consolidated financial statements. The sole business purpose of the special purpose entities is to own and operate these properties. The real estate and other assets owned by these special purpose entities are restricted under the loan agreements in that they are not available to settle our other debts. However, so long as the loans are not under an event of default, as defined in the loan agreements, the cash flows from these properties, after payments of debt service, operating expenses and reserves, are available for distribution to us.

At-The-Market Equity Program

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

We did not sell any shares under the ATM program during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014. The following table summarizes issuances of common stock sold through the ATM program during the nine month period ended September 30, 2013 (dollars in thousands, except weighted-average sales price):



	Nine Months Ended September 30, 2013
Number of shares settled	8,419,298
Gross proceeds	$	211,493
Net proceeds	$	209,596
Weighted-average sales price	$	25.12

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

Debt-To-Total Market Capitalization

Our strategy is to maintain a conservative debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio in order to enhance our access to the broadest range of capital markets, both public and private. Based on our share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt and the market value of equity, our debt-to-total-market capitalization (debt plus market value of equity) ratio was 56.2% at September 30, 2014, compared to 55.7% at September 30, 2013. The increase in the debt-to-market capitalization ratio is the result of the decrease in CBL's stock price to $17.90 as compared to $19.10 in the prior-year period partially offset by a decrease in our share of total debt to $5.378 billion at September 30, 2014 from $5.588 billion at September 30, 2013. Our debt-to-market capitalization ratio at September 30, 2014 was computed as follows (in thousands, except stock prices):



	Shares Outstanding	Stock Price⁽¹⁾		Value
Common stock and operating partnership units	199,544	$	17.90	$	3,571,838
7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock	1,815	250.00		453,750
6.625% Series E Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock	690	250.00		172,500
Total market equity				4,198,088
Company’s share of total debt				5,377,879
Total market capitalization				$	9,575,967
Debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio				56.2		%


(1)	Stock price for common stock and Operating Partnership units equals the closing price of CBL's common stock on September 30, 2014. The stock prices for the preferred stock represent the liquidation preference of each respective series of preferred stock.

Capital Expenditures

Deferred maintenance expenditures are generally billed to tenants as common area maintenance expense, and most are recovered over a 5 to 15-year period. Renovation expenditures are primarily for remodeling and upgrades of malls, of which a portion is recovered from tenants over a 5 to 15-year period. We recover these costs through fixed amounts with annual increases or pro rata cost reimbursements based on the tenant’s occupied space. The following table, which excludes expenditures for developments and expansions, summarizes these capital expenditures, including our share of unconsolidated affiliates' capital expenditures, for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014 compared to the same periods in 2013 (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2014		2013		2014		2013

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

Our 2014 renovation program includes upgrades at five of our malls. Renovations are scheduled to be completed in 2014 at Governor's Square in Clarksville, TN; Volusia Mall in Daytona Beach, FL; Richland Mall in Waco, TX; Janesville Mall in Janesville, WI and Old Hickory Mall in Jackson, TN. Our total investment in the renovations that are scheduled for 2014 as well as other less extensive renovations is projected to be approximately $27.4 million. Renovation expenditures for 2014 also include certain capital expenditures related to the parking decks at West County Center.

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

We have several projects underway at our community centers. Construction began this spring on the second phase of Fremaux Town Center. The expansion will include 265,000-square-feet of additional retail space, targeting fashion and entertainment, featuring a 126,000-square-foot Dillard's store as a primary anchor. We also started construction this summer on Parkway Plaza, our newest community center development. Parkway Plaza will include anchor stores Hobby Lobby, Marshalls and Petco.

Nordstrom Rack will be opening this fall in the space formerly occupied by Gander Mountain in the redevelopment of West Towne Crossing, an associated center in Madison, WI.

We have three mall redevelopment projects currently under construction. We have made significant progress on the redevelopments of the two Sears stores we purchased last year. At CoolSprings Galleria, the former Sears store has been transformed into The Cheesecake Factory, which will open in November 2014, and other new specialty stores scheduled to open in 2015. At Fayette Mall, the former Sears location redevelopment includes The Cheesecake Factory, which opened in October 2014, and other several new-to-the-market stores such as H&M, Clark's, Vera Bradley and Aveda. A streetscape project at Northgate Mall will add additional retail shops and restaurants including Old Chicago Pizza and Taproom.

Construction is expected to begin on Ambassador Town Center in early 2015. We are working with our partner on pre-leasing box retailers and complementary shops for this new community center. We are also making progress replacing the JCPenney stores which closed earlier this year. We have executed leases at Janesville Mall with ULTA and Dick's Sporting Goods to fill the former JCPenney store that closed in May 2014. We are working with one additional junior anchor and expect that lease to be executed before year-end. At Hickory Point Mall, Hobby Lobby will lease 60,000-square-feet of the former JCPenney store. We also expect to begin construction later this year on a Gordmans at Meridian Mall.

We own land and hold options to acquire certain development properties owned by third parties. Except for the projects presented above, we do not have any other material capital commitments as of September 30, 2014.

2014 Dispositions

The results of operations of the properties described below, as well as any gain on extinguishment of debt and impairment losses related to those properties, are included in income from continuing operations for all periods presented, as applicable. Net proceeds from these 2014 dispositions were used to reduce the outstanding balances on our credit facilities, unless otherwise noted. The following is a summary of our 2014 dispositions (in thousands):




				Sales Price

(1)	We recognized a loss on impairment of real estate of $497 in the third quarter of 2014 when we adjusted the book value of Pemberton Plaza to its net sales price. The sale closed in September 2014.

(2)

The gross sales price of $14,000 consisted of a $10,000 promissory note and $4,000 in cash. See Note 8 for additional information about the note receivable. We recognized a loss on impairment of real estate of $5,100 in the first quarter of 2014 when we adjusted the book value of Lakeshore Mall to its estimated fair value of $13,780 based on a binding purchase agreement signed in April 2014. The sale closed in May 2014 and we recognized an impairment loss of $106 in the second quarter of 2014 as a result of additional closing costs.

In September 2014, we conveyed Chapel Hill Mall to the mortgage lender by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. The mortgage loan was non-recourse and had a balance of $68.6 million. We recorded a non-cash impairment of real estate of $12.1 million in the first quarter of 2014 to write down the book value of this property to its then estimated fair value. As a result of the conveyance, we recognized a gain on extinguishment of debt of $18.2 million in the third quarter of 2014 representing the difference between the debt extinguished over the net book value of the property as of the transfer date. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Table of Contents

In January 2014, the mortgage lender for Citadel Mall completed the foreclosure on the property. The lender received the title in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt which had a balance of $68.2 million. A non-cash loss on impairment of $20.5 million was recorded in the second quarter of 2013 to write down the book value of this property to its then estimated fair value. In the first quarter of 2014, we recognized a non-cash gain on extinguishment of debt of $43.9 million representing the excess of the outstanding balance of the debt extinguished over the net book value of the property as of the transfer date. See Note 6 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information.

Subsequent to September 30, 2014, we conveyed Columbia Place to the lender through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Unconsolidated Affiliates

We have ownership interests in 17 unconsolidated affiliates as of September 30, 2014 that are described in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. The unconsolidated affiliates are accounted for using the equity method of accounting and are reflected in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as “Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates.” The following are circumstances when we may consider entering into a joint venture with a third party:

•

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

•

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

Guarantees

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

The following table represents our guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 (in thousands):

(1)	Excludes any extension options.


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


(3)	The guaranty was reduced from 100% to 25% in the third quarter of 2014 when Carmike Cinema became operational in August 2014.

(4)

We received a 1% fee for this guaranty when the loan was issued in March 2013. In the first quarter of 2014, the loan was modified and extended to increase the capacity to $47,291, which increased the maximum guaranteed amount. The loan was amended and modified in August 2014 to reduce the guaranty from 100% to 50%. The guaranty will be reduced to 25% upon the opening of LA Fitness and payment of contractual rent. The guaranty will be further reduced to 15% when Phase I of the development has been open for one year and the debt service coverage ratio of 1.30 to 1.00 is met.


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

(6)

We received a 1% fee for this guaranty when the loan was issued in August 2014. The guaranty will be reduced to 50% upon the closing of the Dillard's outparcel sale. Upon completion of Phase II of the development and once certain leasing and occupancy metrics have been met, the guaranty will be 25%. The guaranty will be further reduced to 15% when Phase II of the development has been open for one year, the debt service coverage ratio of 1.30 to 1.00 is met and Dillard's is operational.

We have guaranteed the lease performance of YTC, an unconsolidated affiliate in which we own a 50% interest, under the terms of an agreement with a third party that owns property as part of York Town Center. Under the terms of that agreement, YTC is obligated to cause performance of the third party’s obligations as landlord under its lease with its sole tenant, including, but not limited to, provisions such as co-tenancy and exclusivity requirements. Should YTC fail to cause performance, then the tenant under the third party landlord’s lease may pursue certain remedies ranging from rights to terminate its lease to receiving reductions in rent. We have guaranteed YTC’s performance under this agreement up to a maximum of $22.0 million, which decreases by $0.8 million annually until the guaranteed amount is reduced to $10.0 million. The guaranty expires on December 31, 2020. The maximum guaranteed obligation was $16.4 million as of September 30, 2014. We entered into an agreement with our joint venture partner under which the joint venture partner has agreed to reimburse us 50% of any amounts we are obligated to fund under the guaranty. We did not include an obligation for this guaranty because we determined that the fair value of the guaranty was not material as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are disclosed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. The following discussion describes our most critical accounting policies, which are those that are both important to the presentation of our financial condition and results of operations and that require significant judgment or use of complex estimates.

Revenue Recognition

Minimum rental revenue from operating leases is recognized on a straight-line basis over the initial terms of the related leases. Certain tenants are required to pay percentage rent if their sales volumes exceed thresholds specified in their lease agreements. Percentage rent is recognized as revenue when the thresholds are achieved and the amounts become determinable.

We receive reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance, and other recoverable operating expenses as provided in the lease agreements. Tenant reimbursements are recognized as revenue in the period the related operating expenses are incurred. Tenant reimbursements related to certain capital expenditures are billed to tenants over periods of 5 to 15 years and are recognized as revenue in accordance with underlying lease terms.

We receive management, leasing and development fees from third parties and unconsolidated affiliates. Management fees are charged as a percentage of revenues (as defined in the management agreement) and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development fees are recognized as revenue on a pro rata basis over the development period. Leasing fees are charged for newly executed leases and lease renewals and are recognized as revenue when earned. Development and leasing fees received from unconsolidated affiliates during the development period are recognized as revenue to the extent of the third-party partners’ ownership interest. Fees to the extent of our ownership interest are recorded as a reduction to our investment in the unconsolidated affiliate.

Gains on sales of real estate assets are recognized when it is determined that the sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate, our receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination, and the buyer has assumed the usual risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. When we have an ownership interest in the buyer, gain is recognized to the extent of the third party partner’s ownership interest and the portion of the gain attributable to our ownership interest is deferred.

Real Estate Assets

We capitalize predevelopment project costs paid to third parties. All previously capitalized predevelopment costs are expensed when it is no longer probable that the project will be completed. Once development of a project commences, all direct costs incurred to construct the project, including interest and real estate taxes, are capitalized. Additionally, certain general and administrative expenses are allocated to the projects and capitalized based on the amount of time applicable personnel work on the

Table of Contents

development project. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Major replacements and improvements are capitalized and depreciated over their estimated useful lives.

All acquired real estate assets are accounted for using the acquisition method of accounting and accordingly, the results of operations are included in the condensed consolidated statements of operations from the respective dates of acquisition. The purchase price is allocated to (i) tangible assets, consisting of land, buildings and improvements, as if vacant, and tenant improvements and (ii) identifiable intangible assets and liabilities generally consisting of above- and below-market leases and in-place leases. We use estimates of fair value based on estimated cash flows, using appropriate discount rates, and other valuation methods to allocate the purchase price to the acquired tangible and intangible assets. Liabilities assumed generally consist of mortgage debt on the real estate assets acquired. Assumed debt with a stated interest rate that is significantly different from market interest rates is recorded at its fair value based on estimated market interest rates at the date of acquisition.

Depreciation is computed on a straight-line basis over estimated lives of 40 years for buildings, 10 to 20 years for certain improvements and 7 to 10 years for equipment and fixtures. Tenant improvements are capitalized and depreciated on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease. Lease-related intangibles from acquisitions of real estate assets are amortized over the remaining terms of the related leases. The amortization of above- and below-market leases is recorded as an adjustment to minimum rental revenue, while the amortization of all other lease-related intangibles is recorded as amortization expense. Any difference between the face value of the debt assumed and its fair value is amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the debt using the effective interest method.

Carrying Value of Long-Lived Assets

We periodically evaluate long-lived assets to determine if there has been any impairment in their carrying values and record impairment losses if the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by those assets are less than their carrying amounts or if there are other indicators of impairment. If it is determined that impairment has occurred, the amount of the impairment charge is equal to the excess of the asset’s carrying value over its estimated fair value. We estimate fair value using the undiscounted cash flows expected to be generated by each property, which are based on a number of assumptions such as leasing expectations, operating budgets, estimated useful lives, future maintenance expenditures, intent to hold for use and capitalization rates, among others. These assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, but not limited to, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates and costs to operate each property. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the future cash flows estimated in our impairment analyses may not be achieved. See Note 3 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for impairment of long-lived assets for the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014.

Allowance for Doubtful Accounts

We periodically perform a detailed review of amounts due from tenants and others to determine if accounts receivable balances are impaired based on factors affecting the collectability of those balances. Our estimate of the allowance for doubtful accounts requires significant judgment about the timing, frequency and severity of collection losses, which affects the allowance and net income. We recorded a provision for doubtful accounts of $2.7 million and $1.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Investments in Unconsolidated Affiliates

We evaluate our joint venture arrangements to determine whether they should be recorded on a consolidated basis. The percentage of ownership interest in the joint venture, an evaluation of control and whether a VIE exists are all considered in the consolidation assessment.

Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance a capital contribution to the joint venture are recorded in an amount equal to our historical carryover basis in the real estate contributed. Initial investments in joint ventures that are in economic substance the sale of a portion of our interest in the real estate are accounted for as a contribution of real estate recorded in an amount equal to our historical carryover basis in the ownership percentage retained and as a sale of real estate with profit recognized to the extent of the other joint venturers’ interests in the joint venture. Profit recognition assumes that we have no commitment to reinvest with respect to the percentage of the real estate sold and the accounting requirements of the full accrual method are met.

We account for our investment in joint ventures where we own a noncontrolling interest or where we are not the primary beneficiary of a VIE using the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, our cost of investment is adjusted for our share of equity in the earnings of the unconsolidated affiliate and reduced by distributions received. Generally, distributions of cash flows from operations and capital events are first made to partners to pay cumulative unpaid preferences on unreturned capital balances and then to the partners in accordance with the terms of the joint venture agreements.

Any differences between the cost of our investment in an unconsolidated affiliate and our underlying equity as reflected in the unconsolidated affiliate’s financial statements generally result from costs of our investment that are not reflected on the unconsolidated affiliate’s financial statements, capitalized interest on our investment and our share of development and leasing fees

Table of Contents

that are paid by the unconsolidated affiliate to us for development and leasing services provided to the unconsolidated affiliate during any development periods. The components of the net difference between our investment in unconsolidated affiliates and the underlying equity of unconsolidated affiliates is amortized over a period equal to the useful life of the unconsolidated affiliates' asset/liability that is related to the basis difference.

On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the fair value of our investments in unconsolidated affiliates may be impaired. An investment is impaired only if our estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. Our estimates of fair value for each investment are based on a number of assumptions such as future leasing expectations, operating forecasts, discount rates and capitalization rates, among others. These assumptions are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, but not limited to, demand for space, competition for tenants, changes in market rental rates, and operating costs. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, the fair values estimated in the impairment analyses may not be realized.

No impairments of investments in unconsolidated affiliates were incurred during the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information on recently issued accounting pronouncements.

Impact of Inflation and Deflation

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

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

Funds From Operations

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

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

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

Table of Contents

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

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

During the three months ended September 30, 2014, we recognized an $18.2 million gain upon the conveyance of Chapel Hill Mall to the lender through a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and recorded $1.5 million of non-cash default interest. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, we received a partial settlement of litigation of $8.2 million. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, we realized a net gain of $60.9 million on extinguishment of debt. The $60.9 million gain consists of a $43.9 million gain, recognized when the lender received the deed to Citadel Mall in satisfaction of the non-recourse debt on the property, and an $18.2 million gain, recognized upon the conveyance of Chapel Hill Mall to the lender, which was partially offset by a $1.2 million prepayment fee for the early retirement of debt on St. Clair Square. Additionally, we recorded $1.5 million of non-cash default interest and received $0.8 million as a partial settlement of litigation during the nine months ended September 30, 2014. The nine months ended September 30, 2013 includes a partial settlement of litigation of $8.2 million, $2.4 million of gain on investment when a note related to our China investment, of which a portion was written down to its estimated fair value in 2009, was repaid in May 2013 and a $9.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt due to the early retirement of debt on loans secured by two malls. Considering the significance and nature of these items, we believe it is important to identify the impact of these changes on our FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of our results of operations. Therefore, we have also presented FFO, as adjusted, excluding these items.

The increase in adjusted FFO during the quarter ended September 30, 2014 was driven by contributions from recent openings of new development projects, increased rental rates on new and renewal leases and lower operating expenses. These improvements were partially offset by lost income from sold properties and higher net interest expense on our Notes.

ITEM 3: Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

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

Interest Rate Risk

Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at September 30, 2014, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable-rate debt would decrease or increase annual cash flows by approximately $5.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, and increase or decrease annual interest expense, after the effect of capitalized interest, by approximately $4.9 million and $1.4 million, respectively.

Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated and unconsolidated debt at September 30, 2014, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $85.7 million, while a 0.5% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $85.6 million.

ITEM 4: Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

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

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1: Legal Proceedings

We are currently involved in certain litigation that arises in the ordinary course of business, most of which is expected to be covered by liability insurance. Based on current expectations, such matters, both individually and in the aggregate, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, results of operations, business or financial condition.

In February 2014, TPD received a partial settlement of $0.8 million from certain of the defendants in the litigation described in Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. In October 2014, TPD agreed to a resolution of its claims against defendant EMJ in such litigation. Pursuant to this agreement, TPD received partial settlements of $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively, from one of EMJ’s insurance carriers in October 2014, and additional amounts of $4.8 million and $5.0 million are due to be paid to TPD in December 2014 and January 2015, respectively. Further, EMJ agreed to be responsible for up to a maximum of $6.6 million of future costs incurred by TPD in remediating damages to its shopping center site under certain circumstances as set forth in the agreement, and agreed that such limitation would not apply to its potential responsibility for any future remediation required under applicable environmental laws (should such claims arise). See Note 16 to the consolidated financial statements for further information. Litigation continues with the other remaining defendants in the matter. There have been no other material developments during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 in the matters described in "Part I, Item 3 - Legal Proceedings" of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
