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, outlet centers, lifestyle centers, open-air centers, office buildings and other properties, including single-tenant and multi-tenant parcels. Its properties are located in 22 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States.
CBL conducts substantially all its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), which is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). 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 VIE.
As of September 30, 2025, the Operating Partnership owned interests in the following properties:
Malls
Outlet Centers
Lifestyle Centers
Open-Air Centers
Other (1)(2)
Total
Consolidated Properties
18
Unconsolidated Properties (3)

47
26
87
CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. As of September 30, 2025, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.00% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 98.98% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 99.98%. As of September 30, 2025, third parties owned a 0.02% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership.
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 Operating Partnership conducts the Company's property management and development activities through its wholly owned subsidiary, CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company"), to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code.
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 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, 2025 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year.
Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Accounting Guidance Not Yet Adopted
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), "Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures," to improve the disclosures about a public business entity's expenses by providing more detailed information about the types of expenses in commonly presented expense captions. The standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within fiscal years beginning December 15, 2027. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that the adoption of this new standard will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounts Receivable
Receivables include amounts billed and currently due from tenants pursuant to lease agreements and receivables attributable to straight-line rents associated with those lease agreements. Individual leases where the collection of rents is
in dispute are assessed for collectability based on management’s best estimate of collection considering the anticipated outcome of the dispute. Individual leases that are not in dispute are assessed for collectability and upon the determination that the collection of rents over the remaining lease term is not probable, accounts receivable is reduced as an adjustment to rental revenues. Revenue from leases where collection is deemed to be less than probable is recorded on a cash basis until collectability is determined to be probable. Further, management assesses whether operating lease receivables, at a portfolio level, are appropriately valued based upon an analysis of balances outstanding, historical collection levels and current economic trends. An allowance for the uncollectable portion of the portfolio is recorded as an adjustment to rental revenues.
Management’s collection assessment took into consideration the type of retailer, billing disputes, lease negotiation status and executed deferral or abatement agreements, as well as recent rent collection experience and tenant bankruptcies based on the best information available to management at the time of evaluation.

Note 5 – 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 and under current market conditions. 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.
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. The estimated fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness was $2,095,476 and $2,110,154 as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively. The fair value of mortgage and other indebtedness 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.
Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis
The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the interest rate swap, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, the Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of the Company's derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, it has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees. In accordance with ASU 2011-04, the FASB’s fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting agreements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its interest rate swap fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its interest rate swap utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has determined that the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments made to its derivative contract, which determination was based on the fair value of the individual contract, was not significant to the overall valuation. As a result, the Company's interest rate swap held as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024 was classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
The following table sets forth information regarding the Company's interest rate swap that was designated as a cash flow hedge of interest rate risk for the nine months ended September 30, 2025. See Note 9 for more information.

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’s evaluation of the recoverability of long-lived assets involves the comparison of undiscounted future cash flows expected to be generated by each property over the Company’s expected remaining holding period to the respective carrying amount. The determination of whether the carrying value is recoverable also requires management to make estimates related to probability weighted scenarios impacting undiscounted cash flow models. 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, occupancy statistics and sales levels. Significant qualitative factors used include market conditions, age and condition of the property and tenant mix. The quantitative and qualitative factors impact the selection of the terminal capitalization rate which is used in both an undiscounted and discounted cash flow model and the discount rate used in a discounted cash flow model. 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. Level 3 inputs primarily consist of sales and market data, independent valuations and discounted cash flow models.
Long-lived Assets Measured at Fair Value in 2025
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold a land parcel (September 2025) for $7,463, which was less than its carrying value and recorded an impairment of $1,736. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold 840 Greenbrier Circle (June 2025) for $3,500 and a land parcel (September 2025) for $7,463, which were less than their carrying values and recorded impairments totaling $3,193.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, the Company adjusted the negative equity in Southpark Mall to zero upon deconsolidation, which represented the estimated fair value of the Company's investment in the property. See Note 8 for more information.
Long-lived Assets Measured at Fair Value in 2024
During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company sold an outparcel for less than its carrying value and recorded an impairment of $836.
Note 6 - Acquisitions
The Company's acquisitions are accounted for as acquisitions of assets under ASC 805-50. The Company includes the results of operations of real estate assets acquired in the condensed consolidated statements of operations from the date of the related acquisition.
2025 Acquisitions
In January 2025, the Company acquired four Macy's stores for $6,156, which included land, buildings and improvements, for future redevelopment at the respective properties.
In July 2025, the Company acquired four enclosed malls. The purchase price was approximately $179,742 including acquisition costs. Additionally, the Company received a credit at closing related to a net working capital deficit of $2,727 assumed by the Company. The acquired malls include Ashland Town Center in Ashland, KY, Mesa Mall in Grand Junction, CO, Paddock Mall in Ocala, FL, and Southgate Mall in Missoula, MT. The Company funded the transaction using cash from sales of real estate assets and funds from the modification of an existing loan (see Note 9 for more information).
The Company engaged valuation experts to assist management in determining the fair value of the acquired assets and liabilities related to the acquisition of the malls. The most subjective and judgmental assumptions used include the projected cash flows, capitalization and discount rates. Multiple appraisal methodologies were used to value the acquired assets and liabilities, which included the cost approach, the sales comparison approach and the income capitalization approach. All estimates, assumptions, valuations and financial projections are inherently subject to significant uncertainties and the resolution of contingencies beyond the Company’s control. Accordingly, the Company cannot assure that the estimates, assumptions, valuations or financial projections will be realized and actual results could vary materially.

Variable Interest Entities
The Operating Partnership and certain of its subsidiaries are VIEs primarily because the limited partners of these entities do not collectively possess substantive kick-out or participating rights.
The Company consolidates the Operating Partnership because it is the primary beneficiary. The Company, through the Operating Partnership, consolidates all VIEs for which it is the primary beneficiary. Generally, a VIE is a legal entity in which the equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest or the equity investors lack sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support. A limited partnership is considered a VIE when the majority of the limited partners unrelated to the general partner possess neither the right to remove the general partner without cause, nor certain rights to participate in the decisions that most significantly affect the financial results of the partnership. In determining whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE, the Company considers qualitative and quantitative factors, including, but not limited to: which activities most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and which party controls such activities; the amount and characteristics of the Company's investment; the obligation or likelihood for the Company or other investors to provide financial support; and the similarity with and significance to the Company's business activities and the business activities of the other investors.
Consolidated VIEs
As of September 30, 2025, the Company had investments in 10 consolidated VIEs with ownership interests ranging from 50% to 92%.

the lender notified the Company that it had met the extension test for the secured term loan. See Note 15 for more information.
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 effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. Such derivatives were used to hedge the variable cash flows associated with variable-rate debt.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable-rate debt. During the next twelve months, the Company estimates that $88 will be reclassified from other comprehensive income (loss) as a decrease to interest expense.
The Company has an agreement with each derivative counterparty that contains a provision where if the Company either defaults or is capable of being declared in default on any of its indebtedness, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.
As of September 30, 2025, the Company did not have any derivatives with a fair value in a net liability position including accrued interest but excluding any adjustment for nonperformance risk. As of September 30, 2025, the Company has posted $1,920 of cash collateral related to the interest rate swap. The Company is not in breach of any agreement provisions.
Note 10 – Segment Information
As discussed in Note 1, the Company owns interests in a portfolio of properties including regional shopping malls, outlet centers, lifestyle centers, open-air centers, office buildings and other properties, including single-tenant and multi-tenant parcels. The Company has identified each property as an operating segment, and each is led by a general manager. Performance and resource allocation is assessed by the chief executive officer (“CEO”), whom the Company has determined to be the Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM").
The Company’s reportable segments are malls, lifestyle centers, outlet centers and open-air centers. The CODM evaluates performance and allocates resources on a property-by-property basis aggregated based on property type in accordance with aggregation criteria. The CODM measures performance and allocates resources to each property based on net operating income ("NOI") and certain criteria such as tenant mix, capital requirements, economic risks, leasing terms, and short- and long-term returns on capital. NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of the Company’s shopping centers and other properties. The Company defines NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating expenditures, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs) plus property interest and other income. The Company computes NOI based on its pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties.
The following is a brief description of the Company’s reportable segments and the remaining operating segments that comprise the All Other category:
Malls – The malls reporting segment consists of enclosed large regional shopping centers, generally anchored by two or more anchors or junior anchors, a wide variety of in-line retail stores, restaurants and non-retail tenants.
Lifestyle centers – The lifestyle center reporting segment consists of large open-air centers, generally anchored by one or more anchors, which can include traditional department store anchors, grocers, or other non-traditional anchors and/or junior anchors, a wide variety of in-line and retail stores, restaurants, and/or non-retail tenants.
Outlet centers – The outlet center reporting segment consists of open-air centers, generally anchored by one or more discount or off-price junior anchors and a wide variety of brand name off-price or discount in-line stores.
Open-air centers – The open-air centers reporting segment is typically anchored by a combination of supermarkets, value-priced stores, big-box retailers or traditional department stores. In many cases, the open-air centers in this category are adjacent to the properties that make up the malls reporting segment.
All Other – The All Other category includes outparcels, office buildings, hotels, corporate-level debt and the Management Company.
Rental income and tenant reimbursements from tenant leases provide the majority of revenues from all segments. The accounting policies of the reportable segments are the same as those described in Note 2 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024.
The below presentation has been recast for the prior-year period to comply with updates to Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 280 required by ASU 2023-07. Information on the Company's reportable segments is presented as follows:

Note 11 – Earnings Per Share
Earnings per share ("EPS") is calculated under the two-class method. Under the two-class method, all earnings (distributed and undistributed) are allocated to common stock and participating securities. The Company grants restricted stock awards to certain employees under its share-based compensation program, which entitle recipients to receive nonforfeitable dividends during the vesting period on a basis equivalent to the dividends paid to holders of common stock. These unvested restricted stock awards meet the definition of participating securities based on their respective rights to receive nonforfeitable dividends.
Diluted EPS incorporates the potential impact of contingently issuable shares. Diluted EPS is calculated under both the two-class and treasury stock methods, and the more dilutive amount is reported. Performance stock units ("PSUs") and
20
unvested restricted stock awards are contingently issuable common shares and are included in diluted EPS if the effect is dilutive.
The following table presents the calculation of basic and diluted EPS (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Note 12 – Contingencies
The Company is currently involved in 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 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. 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.
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 2027 for certain environmental claims up to $40,000 per occurrence and up to $40,000 in the aggregate, subject to deductibles and certain exclusions. At certain locations, individual policies are in place.
Guarantees
The Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership's investment in the joint venture. The Operating Partnership
21
may receive a fee from the joint venture for providing the guaranty. Additionally, when the Operating Partnership issues a guaranty, the terms of the joint venture agreement typically provide that the Operating Partnership 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 Operating Partnership's guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the Company evaluated each guaranty, listed in the table above, by evaluating the debt service ratio, cash flow forecasts and the performance of each loan, where applicable. The result of the analysis was that each loan is current and performing. The Company did not record a credit loss related to the guarantees listed in the table above for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Note 13 – Share-Based Compensation
Restricted Stock Awards
Compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period. The share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards granted under the CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. 2021 Equity Incentive Plan was $2,278 and $6,680 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. The share-based compensation expense related to restricted stock awards was $2,110 and $6,187 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $36 and $98 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively. Share-based compensation cost capitalized as part of real estate assets was $38 and $97 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. As of September 30, 2025, there was $6,525 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.6 years. Share-based compensation cost resulting from share-based awards is recorded at the Management Company, which is a taxable entity.
A summary of the status of the Company’s unvested restricted stock awards as of September 30, 2025, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, are presented below:

Performance Stock Unit Awards
Compensation cost for the PSUs granted in February 2023, February 2024 and February 2025 is recognized on a straight-line basis over the service period since it is longer than the performance period. The resulting expense is recorded regardless of whether any PSU awards are earned as long as the required service period is met. For the PSUs granted in February 2022, each quarter, management assesses the probability that the measures associated with the Company's outstanding PSU awards will be attained. The Company begins recognizing compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining service period once the PSU award measures are deemed probable of achievement. Share-based
22
compensation expense related to the PSUs granted under the 2021 Equity Incentive Plan was $1,992 and $5,807 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, respectively; and $1,691 and $4,799 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024, respectively. The unrecognized compensation expense related to the PSUs was $9,262 as of September 30, 2025, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 2.2 years.
A summary of the status of the Company’s outstanding PSU awards as of September 30, 2025, and changes during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, are presented below:

Certain statements made in this section or elsewhere in this report may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the federal securities laws. All statements other than statements of historical fact should be considered to be forward-looking statements. In many cases, these forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of words such as “will,” “may,” “should,” “could,” “believes,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “estimates,” “intends,” “projects,” “goals,” “objectives,” “targets,” “predicts,” “plans,” “seeks,” and variations of these words and similar expressions. Any forward-looking statement speaks only as of the date on which it is made and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the factors discussed throughout this report.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or results and we can give no assurance that these expectations will be attained. It is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of known and unknown risks and uncertainties. In addition to the risk factors described in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, such known risks and uncertainties include, without limitation:

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, outlet centers, lifestyle centers, open-air centers and other properties. See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information on our property interests as of September 30, 2025. We have elected to be taxed as a REIT for federal income tax purposes.
The following summarizes our net income and net income attributable to common shareholders (in thousands):
Significant items that affected comparability between the three-month periods include:
Significant items that affected comparability between the nine-month periods include:
Our focus is on continuing to execute our strategy to improve occupancy, drive rent growth and transform the offerings available at our properties to include a targeted mix of retail, service, dining, entertainment and other non-retail uses, primarily through the re-tenanting of former anchor locations as well as diversification of in-line tenancy. This operational strategy is also supported by our balance sheet strategy of reducing overall debt, extending our debt maturity schedule and lowering our overall cost of borrowings to limit maturity risk, as well as improving net cash flow and enhancing enterprise value. In July 2025, we closed on the acquisition of four enclosed malls: Ashland Town Center in Ashland, KY, Mesa Mall in Grand Junction, CO, Paddock Mall in Ocala, FL, and Southgate Mall in Missoula, MT. The acquisition represents significant progress in the execution of our portfolio optimization strategy as we utilize proceeds from sales of non-core assets and open-air centers, such as the sales of two open-air centers, The Promenade and Fremaux Town Center, to invest in higher cash flow yielding opportunities.
Same-center NOI and FFO are non-GAAP measures. For a description of same-center NOI, a reconciliation from net income (loss) to same-center NOI, and an explanation of why we believe this is a useful performance measure, see
Non-GAAP Measure - Same-center Net Operating Income in Results of Operations. For a description of FFO, a reconciliation from net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders, and an explanation of why we believe this is a useful performance measure, see Non-GAAP Measure - Funds from Operations.

Rental revenues increased primarily due to the consolidation of three malls in December 2024, as well as the acquisition of four malls in July 2025, which resulted in an increase of $26.2 million during the current-year period. The increase was partially offset by $10.6 million of rental revenues associated with properties sold since the prior-year period. Rental revenues at the comparable properties were relatively flat compared to the prior-year period.

Total property operating expenses increased primarily due to the consolidation of three malls in December 2024, as well as the acquisition of four malls in July 2025, which resulted in an increase of $10.7 million during the current-year period. The increase was partially offset by $4.2 million of total property operating expenses associated with properties sold since the prior-year period.
Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to the addition of tangible assets and intangible lease assets recognized upon the consolidation of three malls in December 2024, as well as the acquisition of four malls in July 2025, which resulted in an increase of $15.3 million during the current-year period. The increase was partially offset by tenant improvement and intangible in-place lease assets recognized upon the adoption of fresh start accounting on November 1, 2021 becoming fully depreciated or amortized since the prior-year period. Also, dispositions accounted for a $3.0 million decrease in the current-year period as compared to the prior-year period.
General and administrative expense increased $2.4 million primarily due to fees paid to third parties associated with the modification of the 2032 non-recourse bank loan (previously referred to as the "open-air centers and outparcels loan").
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded loss on impairment of $1.7 million related to a land parcel we sold for less than its carrying value.
Other Income and Expenses
Interest expense increased $5.9 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher accretion of property-level debt discounts and property-level interest expense associated with the consolidation of three malls in December 2024, as well as the modified 2032 non-recourse bank loan (previously referred to as the "open-air centers and outparcels loan"). The increase was partially offset by lower interest expense on the secured term loan due to paydowns that have occurred since the prior-year period, as well as a lower variable interest rate in the current-year period.
For the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a $33.9 million gain on deconsolidation related to Southpark Mall. The property was deconsolidated due to a loss of control when it was placed into receivership in connection with the foreclosure process.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $5.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in contributions and lower distributions during the current-year period as compared to the prior-year period, as well as the consolidation of three malls in December 2024.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $51.2 million of gain on sales of real estate assets primarily related to the sales of The Promenade and a land parcel. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $12.8 million of gain on sales of real estate assets related to the sales of Layton Hills Mall, Layton Hills Convenience Center, Layton Hills Plaza, 10 outparcels, of which 9 outparcels were associated with the Layton Hills properties, and a land parcel.

Total property operating expenses increased primarily due to the consolidation of three malls in December 2024, as well as the acquisition of four malls in July 2025, which resulted in an increase of $26.5 million during the current-year period. Also, the increase was impacted by state franchise tax rebates received in the prior-year period, as well as higher snow removal expense during the current-year period. The increase was partially offset by $6.4 million of total property operating expenses associated with properties sold since the prior-year period.

Depreciation and amortization expense increased primarily due to the addition of tangible assets and intangible lease assets recognized upon the consolidation of three malls in December 2024, as well as the acquisition of four malls in July 2025, which resulted in an increase of $45.7 million during the current-year period. The increase was partially offset by tenant improvement and intangible in-place lease assets recognized upon the adoption of fresh start accounting on November 1, 2021 becoming fully depreciated or amortized since the prior-year period. Also, dispositions accounted for a $8.8 million decrease in the current-year period as compared to the prior-year period.
General and administrative expense increased $3.0 million primarily due to fees paid to third parties associated with the modification of the 2032 non-recourse bank loan (previously referred to as the "open-air centers and outparcels loan"), as well as higher stock compensation expense in the current-year period due to awards granted since the prior-year period.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded loss on impairment of $3.2 million related to the sales of 840 Greenbrier Circle and a land parcel, which were sold for less than their carrying values. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recorded loss on impairment of $0.8 million related to an outparcel we sold for less than its carrying value.
Interest and other income decreased $2.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the prior-year period primarily due to holding U.S. Treasury securities that carried lower interest rates in the current-year period.
Interest expense increased $14.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to higher accretion of property-level debt discounts and property-level interest expense associated with the consolidation of three malls in December 2024. The increase was partially offset by lower interest expense on the secured term loan due to paydowns that have occurred since the prior-year period, as well as a lower variable interest rate in the current-year period.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recorded a $33.9 million gain on deconsolidation related to Southpark Mall. The property was deconsolidated due to a loss of control when it was placed into receivership in connection with the foreclosure process.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated affiliates decreased $3.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in contributions and lower distributions during the current-year period as compared to the prior-year period, as well as the consolidation of three malls in December 2024.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $74.1 million of gain on sales of real estate assets related to the sales of The Promenade, Imperial Valley Mall, Monroeville Mall, Annex at Monroeville, three outparcels associated with the Monroeville Mall properties, a land parcel associated with Imperial Valley Mall, an outparcel and a land parcel. During the nine months ended September 30, 2024 we recognized a $16.5 million gain on sales of real estate assets related to the sales of Layton Hills Mall, Layton Hills Convenience Center, Layton Hills Plaza, 10 outparcels, of which 9 outparcels were associated with the Layton Hills properties, a land parcel and an anchor parcel.
Non-GAAP Measure
Same-center Net Operating Income
NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of our shopping centers and other properties. We define NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).
We compute NOI based on the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. We believe that presenting NOI and same-center NOI (described below) based on our Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties is useful since we conduct substantially all 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 the Operating Partnership. 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, sales at our properties and operating costs and the impact of those trends on our results of operations. Our calculation of same-center NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of above and below market lease intangibles and write-offs of landlord inducement assets in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another.
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 these criteria. Properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet these criteria are categorized as excluded properties. We exclude properties which are under major redevelopment or are being considered for repositioning, and where we are working or intend to work with the lender on a restructure of the terms of the loan secured by the property or convey the secured property to the lender (“Excluded Properties”). As of September 30, 2025, Brookfield Square, Harford Mall, Laurel Park Place, and Southpark Mall were classified as Excluded Properties. Fremaux Town Center also was considered an Excluded Property because it was in the process of being sold.
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 for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

Same-center NOI increased 1.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the prior-year period. The $1.1 million increase for the three months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily consisted of a $0.7 million increase in revenues and a $0.4 million decrease in operating expenses. Rental revenues were $0.3 million higher primarily due to higher minimum rents and percentage rents in the current-year period. The increase in rental revenues was partially offset by an unfavorable variance in the estimate for uncollectable revenues during the current-year period as compared to the prior-year period. Property operating expenses decreased in the current-year period primarily due to lower real estate taxes in the current-year period, which was partially offset by higher property operating expenses related to utilities and maintenance.
Same-center NOI decreased 0.6% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the prior-year period. The $1.7 million decrease for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 compared to the same period in 2024 primarily consisted of a $4.7 million increase in revenues offset by a $6.4 million increase in operating expenses. Rental revenues were $4.2 million higher primarily due to higher minimum rents and tenant reimbursements in the current-year period. The increase in rental revenues was partially offset by lower percentage rents and an unfavorable variance in the estimate for uncollectable revenues during the current-year period as compared to the prior-year period. Property operating
expenses increased in the current-year period primarily due to higher property operating expenses related to utilities and maintenance, which was partially offset by lower real estate taxes in the current-year period.
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, malls, lifestyle centers and outlet centers earn a large portion 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 derive the majority of our revenues from the malls, lifestyle centers and outlet centers. The sources of our revenues by property type were as follows:

Liquidity and Capital Resources
As of September 30, 2025, we had $313.0 million available in unrestricted cash and U.S. Treasury securities. Our total pro rata share of debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing costs and debt discounts, at September 30, 2025 was $2,679.4 million. We had $88.0 million in restricted cash at September 30, 2025 related to cash held in escrow accounts for insurance, real estate taxes, capital expenditures and tenant allowances as required by the terms of certain mortgage notes payable, as well as amounts related to cash management agreements with lenders of certain property-level mortgage indebtedness, which are designated for debt service and operating expense obligations. We also had restricted cash of $21.4 million related to the properties that secure the corporate term loan and the 2032 non-recourse bank loan (previously referred to as the "open-air centers and outparcels loan") of which we may receive a portion via distributions semiannually and quarterly in accordance with the provisions of the term loan and the 2032 non-recourse bank loan, respectively.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we continued to reinvest the cash from maturing U.S. Treasury securities into new U.S. Treasury securities. We designated our U.S. Treasury securities as available-for-sale. As of September 30, 2025, our U.S. Treasury securities have maturities through July 2026. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, we redeemed and purchased additional U.S. Treasury securities. See Note 15 for more information.
In January 2025, we acquired four Macy's stores for $6.2 million, which include land, buildings and improvements, for future redevelopment at the respective properties. In July 2025, we closed on the acquisition of four malls for $179.7 million including transaction costs. The malls include Ashland Town Center in Ashland, KY, Mesa Mall in Grand Junction, CO, Paddock Mall in Ocala, FL, and Southgate Mall in Missoula, MT. See Note 6 for more information.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we sold five properties, six outparcels and three land parcels, which generated gross proceeds of $172.3 million at our share. Net proceeds from those sales were used to pay down the 2032 non-recourse bank loan (previously referred to as the "open-air centers and outparcels loan"), pay down the secured term loan and fund the acquisition of the four malls acquired in July 2025. Subsequent to September 2025, the Company sold its interest in Fremaux Town Center to its joint venture partner. See Note 15 for more information.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we exercised the extension option on the loan secured by Fayette Mall, entered short-term loan extensions for the loans secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Laredo and York Town Center and closed on new loans secured by Cross Creek Mall and The Pavilion at Port Orange. Additionally, we modified the loans secured by Coastal Grand Mall and Coastal Grand Crossing and the 2032 non-recourse bank loan (previously referred to as the "open-air centers and outparcels loan"), which extended the maturity dates, increased the interest rates and increased the principal balance on the 2032 non-recourse bank loan by $110.0 million to fund the acquisition of four malls. In March 2025, the Alamance Crossing East foreclosure process was completed. Alamance Crossing East had an outstanding loan balance of $41.1 million prior to completion of the foreclosure process. In July 2025, Southpark Mall entered default and the property was placed into receivership. As of September 30, 2025, the loan secured by Southpark Mall had an outstanding balance of $48.3 million. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, we were notified by the lender that the loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg was in maturity default and we are in discussions with the lender regarding a loan modification. See Note 15. Also, subsequent to September 30, 2025, we exercised the extension option on two loans, sold our joint venture interest in an encumbered property and sold an encumbered parcel. See Note 15 for more information.
We paid common stock dividends of $0.40 per share in each of the first and second quarters of 2025 and $0.45 per share in the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, our board of directors declared a special dividend of $0.80 per share of common stock, which was paid in cash during the first quarter of 2025. The special dividend was made to ensure that we meet the minimum requirement to maintain our status as a REIT. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, our board of directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.45 per share for the quarter ending December 31, 2025 and authorized a new $25.0 million share repurchase program. See Note 15 for more information.

As of September 30, 2025, our total share of consolidated, unconsolidated and other outstanding debt, excluding debt discounts and deferred financing costs, maturing during 2025, assuming all extension options are elected, is $10.6 million.
Cash Flows - Operating, Investing and Financing Activities
There was $162.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as of September 30, 2025, an increase of $20.5 million from September 30, 2024. Of this amount, $52.6 million was unrestricted cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2025. Also, at September 30, 2025, we had $260.4 million in U.S. Treasuries with maturities through July 2026.
Our net cash flows are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Net cash flows
(10,234
Cash Provided By Operating Activities
Cash provided by operating activities increased primarily due to the consolidation of three malls in December 2024, as well as the acquisition of four malls in July 2025. The increase was partially offset by the sales of The Promenade, 840 Greenbrier Circle, Layton Hills properties, the Monroeville properties and Imperial Valley Mall since the prior-year period.
Cash (Used In) Provided By Investing Activities
Cash used in investing activities increased primarily due to the acquisition of four malls in July 2025, as well as a higher amount of additions of real estate assets and a lower amount of net redemptions of U.S. Treasury securities during the current-year period. The increase was partially offset by net proceeds from the sales of the Layton Hills properties, the Monroeville properties, Imperial Valley Mall, The Promenade and 840 Greenbrier Circle since the prior-year period.
Cash Used In Financing Activities
Cash used in financing activities decreased primarily due to proceeds from new financings in the current-year period and a lower amount of repurchases of common stock as compared to the prior-year period. The decrease was partially offset by an increase in principal payments and the payment of a first quarter 2025 special dividend during the current-year period as compared to the prior-year period.
Debt
The following tables summarize debt based on our pro rata ownership share, including our pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling interests’ share of consolidated properties. Prior to consideration of unamortized deferred financing costs or debt discounts, of our $2,679.4 million outstanding debt at September 30, 2025, $2,676.6 million constituted non-recourse debt obligations and $2.8 million constituted recourse debt obligations.

As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, our total share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt, excluding debt discounts and deferred financing costs, represented 28.3% and 34.5%, respectively, of our total pro rata share of debt, excluding debt discounts and deferred financing costs.
See Note 8 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information concerning activity related to unconsolidated affiliates. Subsequent to September 30, 2025, we were notified by the lender that the loan secured by The Outlet Shoppes at Gettysburg was in maturity default and we are in discussions with the lender regarding a loan modification. See Note 15. Also, subsequent to September 30, 2025, we exercised the extension option on one loan, sold our joint venture interest in an encumbered property and sold an encumbered outparcel. See Note 15 for more information.
We paid common stock dividends of $0.40 per share in each of the first and second quarters of 2025 and $0.45 per share in the third quarter of 2025. Additionally, our board of directors declared a special dividend of $0.80 per share of common stock, which was paid in cash during the first quarter of 2025. The special dividend was made to ensure that we meet the minimum requirement to maintain our status as a REIT. The decision to declare and pay dividends on any outstanding shares of our common stock, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the sole discretion of our board of directors and will depend on our earnings, taxable income, FFO, liquidity, financial condition, capital requirements, contractual prohibitions or other limitations under our then-current indebtedness, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Internal Revenue Code, Delaware law and such other factors as our board of directors deems relevant. Any dividends payable will be determined by our board of directors based upon the circumstances at the time of declaration. Our actual results of operations will be affected by a number of factors, including the revenues received from our properties, our operating expenses, interest expense, capital expenditures and the ability of the anchors and tenants at our properties to meet their obligations for payment of rents and tenant reimbursements.
Subsequent to September 30, 2025, our board of directors declared a regular cash dividend of $0.45 per share for the quarter ending December 31, 2025 and authorized a new $25.0 million share repurchase program. See Note 15 for more information.

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, and readily available cash on hand will provide the necessary funding for these expenditures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We have ownership interests in 24 unconsolidated affiliates as of September 30, 2025 that are described in Note 8 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:
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.
See Note 12 to the condensed consolidated financial statements for information related to our guarantees of unconsolidated affiliates' debt as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and disclosures. Some of these estimates and assumptions require application of difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgment about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
Our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024 contains a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates in the Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section. There have been no material changes to these policies and estimates during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. 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, 2024.
Funds from Operations
FFO is a widely used non-GAAP 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 and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO as defined above by NAREIT. Our method of calculating FFO 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 real estate assets have historically risen or fallen 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 believe FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders is a useful performance measure since we conduct substantially all our business through our Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of our properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of our common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in our Operating Partnership.
In our reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders 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 the Operating Partnership common unitholders.
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.
We believe that it is important to identify the impact of certain significant items on our FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of our results of operations. Therefore, we have also presented adjusted FFO measures excluding these significant items from the applicable periods. Please refer to the reconciliation of net income (loss)
attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders below for a description of these adjustments.
The reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 is as follows (in thousands):

The increase in FFO, as adjusted, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 was primarily driven by the consolidation of three malls in December 2024, as well as the acquisition of four malls in July 2025. The increase was partially offset by the sales of The Promenade, 840 Greenbrier Circle, Imperial Valley Mall, the Layton Hills properties, Annex at Monroeville and Monroeville Mall.

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.
Interest Rate Risk
As discussed in greater detail in Note 8 of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its interest rate risk. Based on our proportionate share of consolidated and unconsolidated variable-rate debt at September 30, 2025, a 0.5% increase or decrease in interest rates on variable-rate debt would increase or decrease annual interest expense by approximately $3.8 million.
Based on our proportionate share of total consolidated, unconsolidated and other debt at September 30, 2025, a 0.5% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of debt by approximately $22.9 million, while a 0.5% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of debt by approximately $23.8 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 disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Exchange Act Rule 13a-15. The Company's disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed 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. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recent fiscal quarter that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1: Legal Proceedings
The information in this Item 1 is incorporated by reference herein from Note 12.
ITEM 1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risks that could materially affect our business, financial condition or results of operations that are discussed under the caption “Risk Factors” in Part I, Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2024. The risk factor set forth below updates, and should be read together with, such risk factors.
International trade disputes, including U.S. trade tariffs and retaliatory tariffs, could adversely impact our business.
International trade disputes, including threatened or implemented tariffs imposed by the United States and threatened or implemented tariffs imposed by foreign countries in retaliation, could adversely impact our business. Many of our tenants sell imported goods, and tariffs or other trade restrictions could materially increase costs for these tenants. To the extent our tenants are unable to pass these costs on to their customers, our tenants’ operations could be adversely impacted, which among other things, could weaken demand by those tenants for our real estate. If the operations of potential future tenants are similarly adversely impacted, overall demand for our real estate may also weaken. In addition, international trade disputes, including those related to tariffs, could result in inflationary pressures that directly impact our costs, such as costs for steel, lumber and other materials applicable to our redevelopment projects. Trade disputes could also adversely impact global supply chains which could further increase costs for us and our tenants or delay delivery of key inventories and supplies.
