EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 2021, of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Regency Centers Corporation” or the “Parent Company” mean Regency Centers Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries; and references to “Regency Centers, L.P.” or the “Operating Partnership” mean Regency Centers, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries. The term “the Company”, “Regency Centers” or “Regency” means the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.

The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units (“Units”). As of September 30, 2021, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.6% of the Units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining limited Units are owned by third party investors. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management.

The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:

 Enhances investors’ understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

 Eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation; and

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

Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same individuals as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of the Parent Company and employees of the Operating Partnership.

The Company believes it is important to understand the key differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. Except for $200 million of unsecured private placement debt, the Parent Company does not hold any indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership is also the co-issuer and guarantees the $200 million of Parent Company debt. The Operating Partnership holds all the assets of the Company and retains the ownership interests in the Company’s joint ventures. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company’s business. These sources include the Operating Partnership’s operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.

Stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital, and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units. The limited partners’ units in the Operating Partnership owned by third parties are accounted for in partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and outside of stockholders’ equity in noncontrolling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements.

In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements, controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

1.	Organization and Significant Accounting Policies

General

Regency Centers Corporation (the “Parent Company”) began its operations as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) in 1993 and is the general partner of Regency Centers, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Parent Company primarily engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, and development and redevelopment of shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other assets other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership, and its only liabilities are $200 million of unsecured private placement notes, which are co-issued and guaranteed by the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company guarantees all of the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership.

As of September 30, 2021, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis owned 298 properties and held partial interests in an additional 104 properties through unconsolidated Investments in real estate partnerships (also referred to as “joint ventures” or “investment partnerships”).

The consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to fairly state the results for the interim periods presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature.

COVID-19 Update

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the Company’s business performance as it relates to occupancy and leasing volumes and how revenue recognition is impacted by rent collections and tenant credit risk. Rent collection rates since the pandemic began have been lower than historical pre-pandemic averages, but have steadily increased during 2021 since a low point in the second quarter of 2020. Collection rates may remain lower than historical pre-pandemic averages for the foreseeable future. The success of tenants and their ability to pay rent continue to be significantly influenced by other pandemic-related challenges such as rising costs, labor shortages, supply chain constraints, reduced in-store sales, as well as mask and vaccine mandates, and the effectiveness of vaccines against variants of the COVID-19 virus. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows continues to depend on future developments that may emerge concerning the severity of COVID-19 variants.

Consolidation

The Company consolidates properties that are wholly-owned and properties where it owns less than 100%, but which it has control over the activities most important to the overall success of the partnership. Control is determined using an evaluation based on accounting standards related to the consolidation of Variable Interest Entities (“VIEs”) and voting interest entities.

Ownership of the Operating Partnership

The Operating Partnership’s capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units. As of September 30, 2021, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.6% of the outstanding common Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership, with the remaining limited common Partnership Units held by third parties (“Exchangeable operating partnership units” or “EOP units”). Each EOP unit is exchangeable for cash or one share of common stock of the Parent Company, at the discretion of the Parent Company, and the unit holder cannot require redemption in cash or other assets. The Parent Company has evaluated the conditions as specified under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 480, Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity as it relates to exchangeable operating partnership units outstanding and concluded that it has the right to satisfy the redemption requirements of the units by delivering unregistered common stock. Accordingly, the Parent Company classifies EOP units as permanent equity in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Equity and Comprehensive Income. The Parent Company serves as general partner of the Operating Partnership. The EOP unit holders have limited rights over the Operating Partnership such that they do not have the power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership. As such, the Operating Partnership is considered a VIE, and the Parent Company, which consolidates it, is the primary beneficiary. The Parent Company’s only investment is the Operating Partnership. Net income and distributions of the Operating Partnership are allocable to the general and limited common Partnership Units in accordance with their ownership percentages.

Real Estate Partnerships

As of September 30, 2021, Regency had a partial ownership interest in 114 properties through partnerships, of which 10 are consolidated into the Company's financial statements. Regency's partners include institutional investors and other real estate developers and/or operators (the “Partners” or “limited partners”). Regency has a variable interest in these entities through its equity interests, with Regency the primary beneficiary in certain of these real estate partnerships. As such, Regency consolidates the partnerships into its financial statements for which it is the primary beneficiary and reports the limited partners’ interests as Noncontrolling interests. For those partnerships which Regency is not the primary beneficiary and does not control, but has significant influence, Regency recognizes its investment in them using the equity method of accounting.

The assets of these partnerships are restricted to the use of the partnerships and cannot be used by general creditors of the Company. And similarly, the obligations of the partnerships can only be settled by the assets of these partnerships or additional contributions by the partners.

The major classes of assets, liabilities, and non-controlling equity interests held by the Company's consolidated VIEs, exclusive of the Operating Partnership, are as follows:

(in thousands)	September 30, 2021
Assets
Net real estate investments	$	237,232	127,240
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash		23,587	4,496
Liabilities
Notes payable		64,434	6,340
Equity
Limited partners’ interests in consolidated partnerships		28,057	28,685

Revenues and Other Receivables

Other property income includes incidental income from the properties and is generally recognized at the point in time that the performance obligation is met. All income from contracts with the Company's real estate partnerships is included within Management, transaction and other fees on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The primary components of these revenue streams, the timing of satisfying the performance obligations, and amounts recognized are as follows:

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The following table provides a brief description of recent accounting pronouncements and expected impact on our financial statements:

Standard	Description	Date of adoption	Effect on the financial statements or other significant matters
Recently adopted:
ASU 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes	The amendments in this update simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles in Topic 740, Income Taxes, and also improve consistent application of and simplify GAAP for other areas of Topic 740 by clarifying and amending existing guidance.<br><br><br><br>Notable changes and clarifications of potential impact include income-based franchise taxes being considered income tax, of which the Company has none, and interim period recognition of enacted changes in tax laws or rates, which is consistent with the Company’s existing practice.	January 2021	The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or related footnote disclosures.
Not yet adopted:
ASU 2021-05, Leases (Topic 842): Lessors - Certain Leases with Variable Lease Payments	The amendments in this update affect lessor lease classification. Lessors should classify and account for a lease as an operating lease if both of the following criteria are met: (1) have variable lease payments that do not depend on a reference index or a rate and (2) would have resulted in the recognition of a selling loss at lease commencement if classified as sales-type or direct financing. This update should result in similar treatment under the current Topic 842 as under the previous Topic 840.	January 2022	The adoption of this standard is not expected to have a material impact to the Company’s financial condition, results of operations, cash flows or related footnote disclosures as the Company’s customary lease terms do not result in sales-type or direct financing classification, although future leases may.

As the Company identifies properties (“reporting units”) that no longer meet its investment criteria, it will evaluate the property for potential sale. A decision to sell a reporting unit results in the need to evaluate its goodwill for recoverability and may result in impairment. Additionally, other changes impacting a reporting unit may be considered a triggering event. If events occur that trigger an impairment evaluation at multiple reporting units, a goodwill impairment may be significant.

During 2020, the Company recognized $132.2 million of Goodwill impairment following the market disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic, which was considered a triggering event requiring evaluation of reporting unit fair values for Goodwill impairment. Of the 269 reporting units with Goodwill, 87 were determined to have fair values lower than carrying value, resulting in $132.2 million of Goodwill impairment.

The Company was in compliance as of September 30, 2021, with the financial and other covenants under its unsecured public and private placement debt and unsecured credit facilities, and expects to remain in compliance for the next twelve months and thereafter.

6.	Derivative Financial Instruments

The Company may use derivative financial instruments, including interest rate swaps, caps, options, floors, and other interest rate derivative contracts, to hedge all or a portion of the interest rate risk associated with its borrowings. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and/or costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure as well as to hedge specific anticipated transactions. The Company does not intend to utilize derivatives for speculative transactions or purposes other than interest rate risk management. The use of derivative financial instruments carries certain risks, including the risk that the counterparties to these contractual arrangements are not able to perform under the agreements. To mitigate this risk, the Company only enters into derivative financial instruments with counterparties with high credit ratings and with major financial institutions with which the Company and its affiliates may also have other financial relationships. The Company does not anticipate that any of the counterparties will fail to meet their obligations.

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 this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps 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.

(1)	Derivatives in an asset position are included within Other assets in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, while those in a liability position are included within Accounts payable and other liabilities.
---	---
(2)	In January 2021, the Company cash settled before maturity $265 million of notional interest rate swaps in connection with its repayment of the Term Loan.

These derivative financial instruments are all interest rate swaps, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and, as of September 30, 2021, does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges.

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCI”) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

The following table represents the effect of the derivative financial instruments on the accompanying consolidated financial statements:

Location and Amount of Gain (Loss) Recognized in OCI on Derivative						Location and Amount of Gain (Loss) Reclassified from AOCI into Income					Total amounts presented in the Consolidated Statements of Operations in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded

Interest rate swaps	$	3,646		(19,187	)	Interest expense	$	3,109		6,479	Interest expense, net	$	108,741		118,605

As of September 30, 2021, the Company expects approximately $3.7 million of accumulated comprehensive losses on derivative instruments in AOCI, including the Company's share from its Investments in real estate partnerships, to be reclassified into earnings during the next 12 months.

7.	Leases

All of the Company’s leases are classified as operating leases. The Company's Lease income is comprised of both fixed and variable income. Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income includes stated amounts per the lease contract, which are primarily related to base rent, and in some cases stated amounts for common area maintenance (“CAM”), real estate taxes, and insurance (“Recoverable Costs”). Income for these amounts is recognized on a straight-line basis.

Variable lease income includes the following two main items in the lease contracts:

(i) Recoveries from tenants represents the tenants’ contractual obligations to reimburse the Company for their portion of Recoverable Costs incurred. Generally the Company’s leases provide for the tenants to reimburse the Company based on the tenants’ share of the actual costs incurred in proportion to the tenants’ share of leased space in the property.

(ii) Percentage rent represents amounts billable to tenants based on the tenants' actual sales volume in excess of levels specified in the lease contract.

The following table provides a disaggregation of lease income recognized as either fixed or variable lease income based on the criteria specified in ASC Topic 842:

(in thousands)	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,
	2021		2020			2021			2020
Operating lease income
Fixed and in-substance fixed lease income	$	201,183		200,020		$	594,471			607,429
Variable lease income		62,810		60,535			195,538			186,952
Other lease related income, net:
Above/below market rent and tenant rent inducement amortization, net		6,457		7,811			18,460			31,107
Uncollectible straight-line rent		3,655		(7,678	)		(172	)		(27,867	)
Uncollectible amounts billable in lease income		9,198		(26,147	)		18,093			(65,991	)
Total lease income	$	283,303		234,541		$	826,390			731,630

Lease income for operating leases with fixed payment terms is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease for all leases in which collectibility is considered probable at the commencement date. At lease commencement, the Company generally expects that collectibility is probable due to the Company’s credit checks on tenants and other credit analysis undertaken before entering into a new lease; therefore, income from most operating leases is initially recognized on a straight-line basis. Lease income that is not considered probable of collection is recognized on a cash basis. In the period in which collection of Lease income is determined to no longer be probable, all previously recognized straight-line rent receivables are reversed. Should collectibility of Lease income become probable again, accrual basis accounting resumes and all commencement-to-date straight-line rent is recognized. In addition to the lease-specific collectibility assessment performed under Topic 842, the Company may also recognize a general reserve, as a reduction to Lease income, for its portfolio of operating lease receivables which are not expected to be fully collectible based on the Company’s historical collection experience.

The following table represents the components of Tenant and other receivables in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets:

(in thousands)	September 30, 2021		December 31, 2020
Tenant receivables	$	24,210	$	39,658
Straight-line rent receivables		95,588		86,615
Other receivables (1)		19,489		17,360
Total tenant and other receivables	$	139,287	$	143,633
(1)	Other receivables include construction receivables, insurance receivables, and amounts due from real estate partnerships for Management, transaction and other fee income.

COVID-19 Pandemic and Rent Concessions

During 2020, in response to the pandemic and the resulting entry into agreements for rent concessions between lessees and lessors, the FASB issued interpretive guidance relating to the accounting for lease concessions provided as a result of COVID-19. In this guidance, entities could elect not to apply lease modification accounting with respect to such lease concessions, and instead, treat the concession as if it was a part of the existing contract and therefore continue to recognize the deferred rents in the period originally billed subject to separate collectibility assessments under Topic 842. This guidance is only applicable to COVID-19 related lease concessions that do not result in a substantial increase in the rights of the lessor or the obligations of the lessee. The Company has elected to treat concessions that satisfy this criteria as though the concessions were part of the existing contract and therefore not treated like a lease modification.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2021

The Company continues to negotiate with certain tenants, which may result in additional rent concessions as determined necessary and appropriate. In determining whether to grant concessions, the Company generally evaluates various factors, including the tenants’ business performance and ability to sustain their business in the current environment, as well as an assessment of their credit worthiness and ability to repay any deferred rent in the future. There can be no assurances that all such deferred rent will ultimately be collected, or collected within the timeframes agreed upon.

8.	Fair Value Measurements

(a) Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management's estimation, reasonably approximate their fair values, except for the following:

	September 30, 2021				December 31, 2020
(in thousands)	Carrying<br>Amount		Fair Value		Carrying<br>Amount		Fair Value
Financial liabilities:
Notes payable	$	3,749,273		4,171,212		3,658,405		4,102,382
Unsecured credit facilities	$	—		—		264,679		265,226

The above fair values represent management's estimate of the amounts that would be received from selling those assets or that would be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants as of September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively. These fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs which are classified within level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company develops its judgments based on the best information available at the measurement date, including expected cash flows, appropriate risk-adjusted discount rates, and available observable and unobservable inputs. Service providers involved in fair value measurements are evaluated for competency and qualifications on an ongoing basis. As considerable judgment is often necessary to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments, the fair values presented above are not necessarily indicative of amounts that will be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.

(b) Fair Value Measurements

The following financial instruments are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

Securities

The Company has investments in marketable securities that are included within Other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the securities was determined using quoted prices in active markets, which are considered Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the value of securities are recorded within Net investment (income) loss in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, and include unrealized losses of $1.5 million and unrealized gains of $1.3 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and unrealized gains of $217,000 and $251,000 during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Available-for-Sale Debt Securities

Available-for-sale debt securities consist of investments in certificates of deposit and corporate bonds, and are recorded at fair value using matrix pricing methods to estimate fair value, which are considered Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Unrealized gains or losses on these debt securities are recognized through other comprehensive income.

Interest Rate Derivatives

The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2021

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate swaps. As a result, the Company determined that its interest rate swaps valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following tables present the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis:

	Fair Value Measurements as of September 30, 2021

Common Stock of the Parent Company

Dividends Declared

On November 3, 2021, our Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.625 per share, payable on January 5, 2022, to shareholders of record as of December 16, 2021.

At the Market (“ATM”) Program

Under the Parent Company's ATM equity offering program, the Parent Company may sell up to $500 million of common stock at prices determined by the market at the time of sale.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2021

During May and June 2021, the Company entered into forward sale agreements under its ATM program through which the Company intends to issue 2,316,760 shares of its common stock at a weighted average offering price of $64.59 before any underwriting discount and offering expenses.

During September 2021, the Company settled two of its forward sale agreements and issued 1,332,142 shares at a weighted average offering price of $63.71 before underwriting discount and offering expenses. Net proceeds received at settlement were approximately $82.5 million, after approximately $1.1 million in underwriting discount and offering expenses, and were used to fund acquisitions of operating properties.

The remaining unsettled shares under the forward sale agreements must be settled within one year of their trade dates, which vary by agreement, and range from June 6, 2022 to June 11, 2022. Proceeds from the issuance of the remaining shares under outstanding forward sale agreements are expected to be approximately $64.0 million, before any underwriting discount and offering expenses, and are expected to be used to fund new investments which may include acquisitions of operating properties, fund developments and redevelopments, or for general corporate purposes.

As of September 30, 2021, $350.4 million of common stock remained available for issuance under this ATM equity program.

Share Repurchase Program

On February 3, 2021, the Company's Board authorized a common share repurchase program under which the Company may purchase, from time to time, up to a maximum of $250 million of its outstanding common stock through open market purchases or in privately negotiated transactions. Any shares purchased, if not retired, will be treated as treasury shares. Under the current authorization, the program is set to expire on February 3, 2023, but may be modified or terminated at any time at the discretion of the Board. The timing and actual number of shares purchased under the program depend upon marketplace conditions, liquidity needs, and other factors. Through September 30, 2021, no shares have been repurchased under this program.

Common Units of the Operating Partnership

Common units of the operating partnership are issued or redeemed and retired for each of the shares of Parent Company common stock issued or repurchased and retired, as described above. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, 5,000 Partnership Units were converted to Parent Company common stock.

10.	Stock-Based Compensation

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, the Company granted 358,607 shares of restricted stock with a weighted-average grant-date fair value of $46.52 per share. The Company records stock-based compensation expense within General and administrative expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations, and records forfeitures as they occur.

Notes to Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2021

Income allocated to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and exchangeable Operating Partnership units have been omitted from the denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since the effect of including these amounts in the numerator and denominator would be anti-dilutive. Weighted average exchangeable Operating Partnership units outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were 760,046 and 765,046, respectively. Weighted average exchangeable Operating Partnership units outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, were 762,601 and 765,046, respectively.

---	---

Litigation

The Company is involved in litigation on a number of matters and is subject to certain claims, which arise in the normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, are expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. However, no assurances can be given as to the outcome of any threatened or pending legal proceedings. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.

Environmental

The Company is subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations pertaining primarily to chemicals historically used by certain current and former dry cleaning tenants, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and older underground petroleum storage tanks. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations. The Company can give no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to its shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contaminants; that its estimate of liabilities will not change as more information becomes available; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to the Company; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; and that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.

Letters of Credit

The Company has the right to issue letters of credit under the Line up to an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, which reduces the credit availability under the Line. These letters of credit are primarily issued as collateral on behalf of its captive insurance program and to facilitate the construction of development projects. As of September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the Company had $9.4 million and $9.7 million, respectively, in letters of credit outstanding.

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

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements in this document regarding anticipated financial, business, legal or other outcomes including business and market conditions, outlook and other similar statements relating to Regency’s future events, developments, or financial or operational performance or results, are “forward-looking statements” made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements are identified by the use of words such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “estimate,” “believe,” “intend,” “forecast,” “anticipate,” “guidance,” and other similar language. However, the absence of these or similar words or expressions does not mean a statement is not forward-looking. While we believe these forward-looking statements are reasonable when made, forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance or events and undue reliance should not be placed on these statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance these expectations will be attained, and it is possible actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks and uncertainties.

Our operations are subject to a number of risks and uncertainties including, but not limited to, risk factors described in our SEC filings. When considering an investment in our securities, you should carefully read and consider these risks, together with all other information in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K, Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and our other filings and submissions to the SEC. If any of the events described in the risk factors actually occur, our business, financial condition or operating results, as well as the market price of our securities, could be materially adversely affected. Forward-looking statements are only as of the date they are made, and Regency undertakes no duty to update its forward-looking statements except as required by law.

Non-GAAP Measures

In addition to the required Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) presentations, we use certain non-GAAP performance measures as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the Company's operational results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change.

We do not consider non-GAAP measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP, rather they supplement GAAP measures by providing additional information we believe to be useful to our shareholders. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management’s judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of the Company.

Defined Terms

The following terms, as defined, are commonly used by management and the investing public to understand and evaluate our operational results:

 Core Operating Earnings is an additional performance measure used by Regency because the computation of Nareit Funds from Operations (“Nareit FFO”) includes certain non-comparable items that affect our period-over-period performance. Core Operating Earnings excludes from Nareit FFO: (i) transaction related income or expenses, (ii) gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt, (iii) certain non-cash components of earnings derived from above and below market rent amortization, straight-line rents, and amortization of mark-to-market of debt adjustments, and (iv) other amounts as they occur. We provide reconciliations of both Net income attributable to common stockholders to Nareit FFO and Nareit FFO to Core Operating Earnings.

 Development Completion is a property in development that is deemed complete upon the earliest of: (i) 90% of total estimated net development costs have been incurred and percent leased equals or exceeds 95%, or (ii) the property features at least two years of anchor operations, or (iii) three years have passed since the start of construction. Once deemed complete, the property is termed a Retail Operating Property the following calendar year.

 Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio is defined as Operating EBITDAre divided by the sum of the gross interest and scheduled mortgage principal paid to our lenders.

 Nareit EBITDAre is a measure of REIT performance, which the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“Nareit”) defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) interest expense, (ii) income tax expense, (iii) depreciation and amortization, (iv) gains on sales of real estate, (v) impairments of real estate, and (vi) adjustments to reflect the Company's share of unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

 Nareit Funds from Operations is a commonly used measure of REIT performance, which Nareit defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains on sales and impairments of real estate, net of tax, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We compute Nareit FFO for all periods presented in accordance with Nareit's definition.

Companies use different depreciable lives and methods, and real estate values historically fluctuate with market conditions. Since Nareit FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and gains on sale and impairments of real estate, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in percent leased, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition and development activities, and financing costs. This provides a perspective of our financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Thus, Nareit FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP; and, therefore, should not be considered a substitute measure of cash flows from operations. We provide a reconciliation of Net Income Attributable to Common Stockholders to Nareit FFO.

 Net Operating Income (“NOI”) is the sum of base rent, percentage rent, recoveries from tenants, other lease income, and other property income, less operating and maintenance expenses, real estate taxes, ground rent, and uncollectible lease income. NOI excludes straight-line rental income and expense, above and below market rent and ground rent amortization, tenant lease inducement amortization, and other fees. We also provide disclosure of NOI excluding termination fees, which excludes both termination fee income and expenses.

 A Non-Same Property is any property, during either calendar year period being compared, that was acquired, sold, a Property in Development, a Development Completion, or a property under, or being positioned for, significant redevelopment that distorts comparability between periods. Non-retail properties and corporate activities, including the captive insurance program, are part of Non-Same Property.

 Operating EBITDAre begins with Nareit EBITDAre and excludes certain non-cash components of earnings derived from above and below market rent amortization and straight-line rents. We provide a reconciliation of Net income to Nareit EBITDAre to Operating EBITDAre.

 Pro-Rata information includes 100% of our consolidated properties plus our economic share (based on our ownership interest) in our unconsolidated real estate investment partnerships.

We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results under GAAP. We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of assets, liabilities, operating results, and certain metrics, along with other non GAAP measures, makes comparisons of other REITs' operating results to ours more meaningful. The Pro-rata information provided is not, nor is it intended to be, presented in accordance with GAAP. The Pro-rata supplemental details of assets and liabilities and supplemental details of operations reflect our proportionate economic ownership of the assets, liabilities, and operating results of the properties in our portfolio.

The Pro-rata information is prepared on a basis consistent with the comparable consolidated amounts and is intended to more accurately reflect our proportionate economic interest in the assets, liabilities, and operating results of properties in our portfolio. We do not control the unconsolidated investment partnerships, and the Pro-rata presentations of the assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses do not represent our legal claim to such items. The partners are entitled to profit or loss allocations and distributions of cash flows according to the operating agreements, which generally provide for such allocations according to their invested capital. Our share of invested capital establishes the ownership interests we use to prepare our Pro-rata share.

The presentation of Pro-rata information has limitations which include, but are not limited to, the following:

o The amounts shown on the individual line items were derived by applying our overall economic ownership interest percentage determined when applying the equity method of accounting and do not necessarily represent our legal claim to the assets and liabilities, or the revenues and expenses; and

o Other companies in our industry may calculate their Pro-rata interest differently, limiting the comparability of Pro-rata information.

Because of these limitations, the Pro-rata financial information should not be considered independently or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP. We compensate for these limitations by relying primarily on our GAAP financial statements, using the Pro-rata information as a supplement.

 Property In Development includes properties in various stages of ground-up development.

 Property In Redevelopment includes Retail Operating Properties under redevelopment or being positioned for redevelopment. Unless otherwise indicated, a Property in Redevelopment is included in the Same Property pool.

 Retail Operating Property is any retail property not termed a Property in Development. A retail property is any property where the majority of the income is generated from retail uses.

 Same Property is a Retail Operating Property that was owned and operated for the entirety of both calendar year periods being compared. This term excludes Properties in Development, prior year Development Completions, and Non-Same Properties. Properties in Redevelopment are included unless otherwise indicated.

Overview of Our Strategy

Regency Centers Corporation began its operations as a publicly-traded REIT in 1993, and as of September 30, 2021, had full or partial ownership interests in 402 retail properties primarily anchored by market leading grocery stores. Our properties are principally located in affluent and infill trade areas of the United States, and contain 50.6 million square feet (“SF”) of gross leasable area (“GLA”). All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through our Operating Partnership, Regency Centers, L.P. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through our co-investment partnerships. As of September 30, 2021, the Parent Company owns approximately 99.6% of the outstanding common partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

Our mission is to be the preeminent national owner, operator, and developer of shopping centers, creating places that provide a thriving environment for outstanding retailers and service providers to connect with the surrounding neighborhoods and communities.

Our goals are to:

 Own and manage a portfolio of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers primarily anchored by market leading grocers and located in affluent suburban and near urban trade areas in the country’s most desirable metro areas. We expect that this combination will produce highly desirable and attractive centers with best-in-class retailers. These centers should command higher rental and occupancy rates resulting in excellent prospects to grow net operating income;

 Maintain an industry leading and disciplined development and redevelopment platform to deliver exceptional retail centers at higher returns as compared to acquisitions;

 Support our business activities with a conservative capital structure, including a strong balance sheet;

 Implement leading environmental, social, and governance practices through our Corporate Responsibility Program;

 Engage an exceptional and diverse team that is guided by our strong values and special culture, while fostering an environment of innovation and continuous improvement; and

 Create shareholder value by increasing earnings and dividends per share and generating total returns at or near the top of our shopping center peers.

Results of Executing on our Strategy

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, we had Net income attributable to common stockholders of $293.6 million, as compared to $6.4 million. Results for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 included a $132.1 million Goodwill impairment charge and $93.9 million of uncollectible Lease income, primarily as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021:

 Our Pro-rata same property NOI, excluding termination fees, increased 16.4%, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2020, primarily attributable to improved collections of lease income during 2021.

 We executed 1,489 new and renewal leasing transactions representing 5.1 million Pro-rata SF, with positive trailing twelve month rent spreads of 2.3% in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to 1,010 leasing transactions representing 3.9 million Pro-rata SF with positive trailing twelve month spreads of 5.7% in the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Rent spreads are calculated on comparable Retail Operating Property spaces, including spaces vacant greater than 12 months.

 At September 30, 2021, our total property portfolio was 93.5% leased, while our Same Property portfolio was 93.8% leased, as compared to 92.3% leased and 92.9% leased, respectively, at December 31, 2020.

We continued our development and redevelopment of high quality shopping centers:

 Estimated Pro-rata project costs of our current in process development and redevelopment projects total $327.3 million as compared to $319.3 million at December 31, 2020.

 Redevelopment projects completed during 2021 represent $46.5 million of estimated net project cost with an incremental stabilized yield of 8%.

We maintain a conservative balance sheet providing liquidity and financial flexibility to cost effectively fund investment opportunities and debt maturities:

 On January 15, 2021, we repaid our $265 million term loan and settled its related interest rate swap.

 On February 9, 2021, we entered into an Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, which among other items, i) maintains our previous level of borrowing capacity of $1.25 billion, ii) includes a $125 million sublimit for swingline loans and $50 million available for issuance of letters of credits, iii) extends the maturity date to March 23, 2025, and iv) provides for two six-month extension options. The existing financial covenants under the Line remained unchanged. As of September 30, 2021, our borrowing capacity under the Line was $1.2 billion.

 During May and June 2021, we entered into forward sale agreements under our ATM program through which we will issue 2,316,760 shares of our common stock at an average offering price of $64.59 before underwriting discount and offering expenses. During September 2021, the Company settled and issued 1,332,142 shares under such forward sale agreements at a weighted average price of $63.71, before underwriting discounts and offering expenses. Net proceeds received at settlement were approximately $82.5 million, which were used to fund the acquisition of USAA's partnership interest in a seven property portfolio. The remaining unsettled shares under the forward sale agreements must be settled within one year of their trade dates, which range from June 6, 2022 to June 11, 2022. Proceeds from the remaining issuance of shares are expected to be approximately $64 million before underwriting discounts and offering expenses and used to fund new investments which may include acquisitions of operating properties, fund developments and redevelopments, or for general corporate purposes.

 At September 30, 2021, our Pro-rata net debt-to-operating EBITDAre ratio on a trailing twelve month basis was 5.0x as compared to 6.0x at December 31, 2020.

The weighted average base rent per square foot on signed shop space leases during 2021 was $34.01 PSF, which is higher than the weighted average annual base rent per square foot of all shop space leases due to expire during the next 12 months of $33.43 PSF. While new and renewal rent spreads were positive at 2.3% as compared to prior rents on those same spaces, future rent spreads could be negatively impacted if the COVID-19 pandemic results in oversupply of vacant retail in the markets in which we operate. This may result in decreased demand for retail space in our centers, which could result in pricing pressure on rents.

Significant Tenants and Concentrations of Risk

We seek to reduce our operating and leasing risks through geographic diversification and by avoiding dependence on any single property, market, or tenant. Based on percentage of annualized base rent, the following table summarizes our most significant tenants, of which the top four are grocers:

Bankruptcies and Credit Concerns

The impact of bankruptcies may increase significantly if tenants occupying our centers are unable to recover from the disruptions caused by, or the continuing challenges from, the COVID-19 pandemic, which could materially adversely impact Lease income. During 2020, we experienced an increase in the number of tenants filing for bankruptcy, but filings have slowed thus far in 2021, and a number of tenants have emerged from bankruptcy after reorganization. However, the potential severity of future variants of COVID-19, evolving challenges of operating with mask and vaccine mandates, and the emerging impacts of labor shortages and supply chain disruptions may adversely impact our tenants.

Although base rent is supported by long-term lease contracts, tenants who file bankruptcy generally have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close related stores. Any unsecured claim we hold against a bankrupt tenant for unpaid rent might be paid only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. As a result, it is likely that we would recover substantially less than the full value of any unsecured claims we hold. Additionally, we may incur significant expense to adjudicate our claim and to re-lease the vacated space. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our shopping centers files bankruptcy and cancels its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues.

Our management team devotes significant time to researching and monitoring retail trends, consumer preferences, customer shopping behaviors, changes in retail delivery methods, shifts to e-commerce, and changing demographics in order to anticipate the challenges and opportunities impacting the retail industry. As the economy recovers from the effects of the ongoing pandemic, our tenants may be adversely impacted by challenges such as rising costs, labor shortages, supply chain constraints, and reduced in-store sales, which could have an adverse effect on our results from operations. We seek to mitigate these potential impacts through tenant diversification, replacing weaker tenants with stronger operators, anchoring our centers with market leading grocery stores that drive customer traffic, and maintaining a presence in dense infill trade areas with populations benefitting from high levels of disposal income.

The Company closely monitors its rent collections, which had significantly declined in the initial months of the pandemic, most notably from tenants whose businesses were classified as non-essential and were therefore subject to strict capacity restrictions. Rent collections through November 1, 2021 have continued to improve over initial pandemic levels with approximately 98% of billed base rent collected for the three months ended September 30, 2021. The COVID-19 pandemic has continued to result in certain tenants requesting concessions from rent obligations, including deferrals, abatements and requests to negotiate future rents, while some tenants have been unable to reopen or have not honored the terms of their existing lease agreements. The Company expects to continue to work with tenants, which may result in further rent concessions or legal actions as determined to be necessary and appropriate. There can be no assurances that all such deferred rent will ultimately be collected, or collected within the timeframes agreed upon. Whether vaccination rates will continue to rise, whether state and local authorities impose new mandated closures or capacity restrictions, and whether current vaccines prove to be effective against variants of the COVID-19 virus will also influence the success of tenants and their ability to pay us rent.

We closely monitor the operating performance of tenants in our shopping centers as well as those retailers experiencing significant changes to their business models, such as reduced customer traffic in their stores. Retailers who are unable to withstand these and other business pressures, such as significant cash flow declines or debt maturities, may file for bankruptcy. As a result of our research

and findings, we may reduce new leasing, suspend leasing, or curtail allowances for construction of leasehold improvements within certain retail categories or to a specific retailer in order to reduce our risk of loss from bankruptcies and store closings.

Results from Operations

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Our revenues changed as summarized in the following table:

	Three months ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2021		2020		Change
Lease income	$	283,303		234,541		48,762
Other property income		4,401		2,261		2,140
Management, transaction, and other fees		19,671		6,142		13,529
Total revenues	$	307,375		242,944		64,431

Lease income increased $48.8 million, on a net basis, driven by the following contractually billable components of rent to the tenants per the lease agreements:

 $35.3 million increase from favorable changes in Uncollectible lease income.

o During 2021, Uncollectible lease income was a positive $9.2 million driven by $13.7 million collection of prior period reserves on cash basis tenants exceeding $4.5 million reserve recognized on current period billings.

o During 2020, the Uncollectible lease income charge of $26.1 million was driven by reserves recognized on cash basis tenants due to lower cash collections during the onset of the pandemic.

o While we expect collections to remain below pre-pandemic levels in the near-term, we continue to experience sequential improvement in our collection rates. Approximately 98% of base rent billed for the three months ended September 30, 2021, has been collected through November 1, 2021. Future lease income could be negatively impacted by ongoing negotiations to assist tenants with their ability to remain operational as the impacts of the pandemic continue to evolve.

 $11.0 million increase in straight-line rent from a lower charge for uncollectible straight-line rent in 2021 due to fewer new cash basis tenants identified as compared to 2020, as well as re-establishing $5.0 million of straight-line rent receivable related to certain tenants converting back to accrual basis as collections from them are now considered probable.

 $1.5 million increase from contractual Recoveries from tenants, which represents the tenants’ Pro-rata share of the operating, maintenance, insurance and real estate tax expenses that we incur to operate our shopping centers. Recoveries from tenants increased, on a net basis, primarily from the following:

o $2.1 million net increase from same properties due to an increase in operating expense as activity at our centers returns to normal operating levels; offset by

o $678,000 decrease from the sale of operating properties.

 $1.2 million increase from billable Base rent, as follows:

o $434,000 net increase from rent commencements at development properties;

o $2.2 million increase from our acquisition and consolidation of seven properties previously held in the USAA partnership; and

o $1.0 million net increase from same properties due to increases from rent steps in existing leases and rental rate growth; offset by

o $2.3 million decrease from the sale of operating properties.

 $761,000 increase in Other lease income, from greater lease termination fees.

 $1.4 million net decrease in Above and below market rent primarily from same properties driven by 2020 tenant move-outs and the timing of lease term modifications.

Other property income increased $2.1 million primarily due to an increase in settlements.

Management, transaction and other fees increased $13.5 million, including $13.6 million of promote income recognized in consideration for exceeding return thresholds resulting from our performance as managing member of the USAA partnership.

Changes in our operating expenses are summarized in the following table:

	Three months ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2021		2020		Change
Depreciation and amortization	$	75,459		84,808		(9,349	)

Other operating expenses		812		1,208		(396	)
Total operating expenses	$	173,307		182,881		(9,574	)

Depreciation and amortization costs decreased, on a net basis, as follows:

 $8.7 million decrease primarily attributable to:

o $2.8 million decrease related to various acquired lease intangibles becoming fully amortized;

o $2.8 million decrease related to early tenant move-outs recognized in 2020;

o $3.1 million decrease primarily attributable to higher depreciation in 2020 related to redevelopment projects; and

 $640,000 decrease from the sale of operating properties.

Operating and maintenance costs increased, on a net basis, as follows:

 $317,000 net increase from acquisitions of operating properties and development properties; and

 $2.5 million increase from same properties primarily attributable to market rate increases in insurance costs and an increase in costs associated with general property maintenance as well as tenant waste removal and water usage as our centers return to normal operating levels; offset by

 $647,000 decrease from the sale of operating properties.

General and administrative costs decreased, on a net basis, as follows:

 $2.0 million net decrease due to changes in the value of participant obligations within the deferred compensation plan, attributable to changes in market values of those investments, reflected within Net investment income; and

 $1.1 million decrease due to more development overhead capitalization based on the status and progress on development and redevelopment projects during the year; offset by

 $1.3 million net increase in compensation costs primarily driven by incentive compensation.

Total other expense (income)	$	29,463			54,869			(25,406	)

The $4.8 million net decrease in Interest expense is primarily driven by the following changes:

 $2.6 million net decrease in Interest on notes payable from the redemption of $300 million senior unsecured notes in September 2020 and the repayment of several mortgages;

 $1.4 million decrease in Interest on unsecured credit facilities primarily related to the January 2021 repayment of the $265 million term loan and reduced Line balance; and

 $914,000 decrease in Hedge expense as two of our previously settled forward swaps fully amortized in 2020.

During the three months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized gains on sale of $6.7 million for two land parcels and a portion of an operating property. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized gains on sale of $3.2 million from four land parcels and the receipt of property insurance proceeds.

During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we had $19.4 million of debt extinguishment costs related to the redemption of our $300 million 3.75% notes due to mature in 2022.

Net investment income decreased $2.3 million primarily driven by changes in unrealized gains and losses of plan assets held in the non-qualified deferred compensation plan. There is an offsetting charge in General and administrative costs related to participant obligations within the deferred compensation plans.

Total revenues	$	869,237		757,715		111,522

Lease income increased $94.8 million, driven primarily by the following contractually billable components of rent to the tenants per the lease agreements:

 $84.1 million increase from favorable changes in Uncollectible lease income.

o During 2021, Uncollectible lease income was a net positive $18.1 million driven by $37.7 million collection of prior year reserves on cash basis tenants exceeding $19.6 million reserve recognized on current year billings.

o During 2020, the Uncollectible lease income charge of $66.0 million was driven by reserves recognized on cash basis tenants due to lower cash collections during the onset of the pandemic.

 $25.3 million increase in straight-line rent from a lower charge for uncollectible straight-line rent in 2021 due to fewer new cash basis tenants identified as compared to 2020 as well as re-establishing $5.0 million straight-line rent receivable related to certain tenants converting back to accrual basis as collections from them are now considered probable.

 $6.9 million increase from contractual Recoveries from tenants, which represents the tenants’ Pro-rata share of the operating, maintenance, insurance and real estate tax expenses that we incur to operate our shopping centers. Recoveries from tenants increased, on a net basis, primarily from the following:

o $576,000 increase from rent commencing at development properties and acquisitions of operating properties; and

o $8.1 million net increase from same properties due to an increase in operating expense and higher recovery of prior year expenses, offset by lower expected recovery rates on current year expenses due to occupancy declines; offset by

o $1.7 million decrease from the sale of operating properties.

 $1.2 million increase in Other lease income primarily from an increase in termination and easement fees, temporary tenants, and income from electric vehicle charging stations.

 $12.6 million net decrease in Above and below market rent primarily from same properties driven by 2020 tenant move-outs and the timing of lease term modifications.

 $10.2 million decrease from billable Base rent, as follows:

o $5.9 million net decrease from same properties due to the loss of rents from tenant move-outs and deferral agreements that required lease modification treatment; and

o $6.4 million decrease from the sale of operating properties; offset by

o $2.2 million increase from our acquisition and consolidation of seven properties previously held in the USAA partnership.

Other property income increased $2.4 million primarily due to an increase in insurance claim settlements.

The $9.9 million net decrease in Interest expense is primarily driven by the following changes:

 $1.0 million net decrease in Interest on notes payable from the payoff of $300 million of senior unsecured notes in September 2020 together with the repayment of several mortgages, offset by the issuance of $600 million of senior unsecured notes in May 2020;

 $6.4 million decrease in Interest on unsecured credit facilities primarily related to the January 2021 repayment of the $265 million term loan and a lower average outstanding balance on the Line; and

 $3.9 million decrease in Hedge expense as two of our previously settled forward swaps hedging our ten-year notes fully amortized in 2020.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we recognized $132.1 million of Goodwill impairment, due to the significant adverse market and economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized gains on sale of $38.2 million from three land parcels, five operating properties, and a portion of an operating property.

The $4.0 million increase in our equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships is largely attributable to favorable uncollectible lease income along with re-instating straight-line rent on certain tenants returning to accrual basis during the three months ended September 30, 2021, including the following:

 $10.0 million increase within GRIR primarily due to continued improvement in tenant rent collections; offset by

 $8.5 million decrease within Other investments in real estate partnerships from a $9.2 million impairment of a single property partnership, which sold in August.

Supplemental Earnings Information

We use certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to certain performance metrics determined under GAAP, as we believe these measures improve the understanding of the Company's operating results. We believe these non-GAAP measures provide useful information to our Board of Directors, management and investors regarding certain trends relating to our financial condition and results of operations. Our management uses these non-GAAP measures to compare our performance to that of prior periods for trend analyses, purposes of determining management incentive compensation and budgeting, forecasting and planning purposes. We provide Pro-rata financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our consolidated and unconsolidated partnerships, when read in conjunction with the Company’s reported results under GAAP. We believe presenting our Pro-rata share of operating results, along with other non-GAAP measures, may assist in comparing the Company’s operating results to other REITs. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, limitations, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change. See “Non-GAAP Measures” at the beginning of this Management's Discussion and Analysis.

We do not consider non-GAAP measures an alternative to financial measures determined in accordance with GAAP. The principal limitation of these non-GAAP financial measures is they may exclude significant expense and income items that are required by GAAP to be recognized in our consolidated financial statements. In addition, they reflect the exercise of management’s judgment about which expense and income items are excluded or included in determining these non-GAAP financial measures. In order to compensate for these limitations, reconciliations of the non-GAAP financial measures we use to their most directly comparable GAAP measures are provided. Non-GAAP financial measures should not be relied upon in evaluating the financial condition, results of operations or future prospects of the Company.

(1)	Represents amounts included within Lease income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations that are contractually billable to the tenants per the terms of the lease agreements.
---	---

Billable Base rent increased $1.4 million during the three months ended September 30, 2021, due to rent steps in existing leases and rental rate growth. Billable Base rent decreased $5.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to loss of rents from occupancy declines and deferral agreements that required lease modification treatment, partially offset by rent steps in existing leases.

Recoveries from tenants increased $1.1 million and $8.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, due to higher operating expenses in the current year and higher recovery rates from our tenants.

Termination fees decreased $1.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to strategic changes in anchor merchandising mix during 2020.

Uncollectible lease income decreased $38.8 million and $92.8 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily driven by collection of previously reserved amounts and improvements in current period collection rates.

Other lease income increased $1.2 million during the nine months ended September 31, 2021, primarily due to an increase in easement fees earned and rent from temporary tenants.

Other property income increased $2.2 million and $2.6 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, primarily due to an increase in settlements.

Operating and maintenance increased $2.1 million and $10.7 million during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021, due primarily to an increase in insurance premiums, property maintenance, legal and vacancy costs, and tenant reimbursable costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

General

We use cash flows generated from operating, investing, and financing activities to strengthen our balance sheet, finance our development and redevelopment projects, fund our investment activities, and maintain financial flexibility. A significant portion of our cash from operations is distributed to our common shareholders in the form of dividends in order to maintain our status as a REIT.

Except for $200 million of private placement debt, our Parent Company has no other commitments other than its guarantees of the commitments of our Operating Partnership. All remaining debt is held by our Operating Partnership or by our co-investment partnerships. The Operating Partnership is a co-issuer and a guarantor of the $200 million of outstanding debt of our Parent Company. The Parent Company will from time to time access the capital markets for the purpose of issuing new equity and will simultaneously contribute all of the offering proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional partnership units.

We continuously monitor our tenant rent collections. Our rent collection experience since the pandemic began has been lower than historical pre-pandemic averages, but has substantially improved since its low in the second quarter of 2020. During the three months ended September 30, 2021, billed base rent collections were 98% through November 1, 2021. Although improving, collection rates are expected to remain lower than historical pre-pandemic averages for the foreseeable future. The success of tenants and their ability to pay rent, continues to be significantly influenced by challenges such as rising costs, labor shortages, supply chain constraints, reduced sales, store closures as well as capacity restrictions, and impacts from variants of COVID-19, including the effectiveness of vaccines.

We draw on multiple financing sources to fund our long-term capital needs, including the capital requirements of our in process and planned developments, redevelopments, and capital expenditures, and the repayment of debt. We expect to meet these needs by using a combination of the following: cash flow from operations after funding our dividend, proceeds from the sale of real estate, mortgage loan and unsecured bank financing, distributions received from our co-investment partnerships, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of equity or the issuance of new unsecured debt. We continually evaluate alternative financing options, and we believe we can obtain financing on reasonable terms.

We have no unsecured debt maturities until 2024 and a manageable level of secured mortgage maturities during the next 12 months, including those mortgages within our joint ventures. Based upon our available cash balance, sources of capital, our current credit ratings, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties we own, we believe our available capital resources are sufficient to meet our expected capital needs for the next 12 months.

In addition to our $359.4 million of unrestricted cash, we have the following additional sources of capital available:

(in thousands)	September 30, 2021
Line of Credit
Total commitment amount	$	1,250,000
Available capacity (2)	$	1,240,619
Maturity (3)	March 23, 2025
(1)	During May and June 2021, we entered into forward sales agreements with respect to 2,316,760 shares that were executed in several tranches at a weighted average offering price of $64.59 per share before any underwriting discount and offering expenses. During September 2021, we settled 1,332,142 of the shares subject to forward sales agreements, receiving proceeds of $82.5 million. The remaining shares subject to forward sales agreements must be settled within approximately one year of their trade dates, which vary by agreement, and range from June 6, 2022 through June 11, 2022, and are expected to result in net proceeds of approximately $64.0 million.
---	---
(2)	Net of letters of credit.
(3)	The Company has the option to extend the maturity for two additional six-month periods.

The declaration of dividends is determined quarterly by our Board of Directors. On November 3, 2021 our Board of Directors declared a common stock dividend of $0.625 per share, payable on January 5, 2022, to shareholders of record as of December 16, 2021. While future dividends will be determined at the discretion of our Board of Directors, we plan to continue paying an aggregate amount of distributions to our stock and unit holders that, at a minimum, meet the requirements to continue qualifying as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. We have historically generated sufficient cash flow from operations to fund our dividend distributions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, we generated cash flow from operations of $508.5 million and $374.6 million, respectively, and paid $303.3 million and $301.9 million in dividends to our common stock and unit holders, respectively.

We currently have development and redevelopment projects in various stages of construction, along with a pipeline of potential projects for future development or redevelopment. After funding our common stock dividend payment in October 2021, we estimate that we will require capital during the next twelve months of approximately $363.0 million. This required capital includes funding construction and related costs for committed tenant improvements and in-process development and redevelopment, making capital contributions to our co-investment partnerships, and repaying maturing debt. If we start new development or redevelopments, commit to property acquisitions, repay debt prior to maturity, declare future dividends, or repurchase shares of our common stock, our cash requirements will increase. If we refinance maturing debt, our cash requirements will decrease.

We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. As of September 30, 2021, 88.7% of our wholly-owned real estate assets were unencumbered. Such assets allow us to access the secured and unsecured debt markets and to maintain availability on the Line. Our trailing twelve month Fixed charge coverage ratio, including our Pro-rata share of our partnerships, was 4.2x and 3.6x for the periods ended September 30, 2021, and December 31, 2020, respectively, and our Pro-rata net debt-to-operating EBITDAre ratio on a trailing twelve month basis was 5.0x and 6.0x, respectively, for the same periods.

Our Line and unsecured loans require that we remain in compliance with various covenants, which are described in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. We are in compliance with these covenants at September 30, 2021, and expect to remain in compliance.

Significant changes in investing activities include:

 We paid $78.6 million, net of cash acquired, to purchase seven operating properties during 2021, of which we previously held a 20% interest. We paid $16.9 million for the acquisition of one operating property during 2020.

 We invested $28.5 million less in 2021 than the same period in 2020 on real estate development, redevelopment, and capital improvements, as further detailed in a table below.

 We sold six operating properties, three land parcels, and a portion of an operating property in 2021 and received proceeds of $131.9 million compared to three operating properties and eight land parcels in 2020 for proceeds of $125.5 million.

 We invested $21.8 million in our real estate partnerships during 2021, including:

o $18.7 million to fund our share of debt payments, and

o $3.1 million to fund our share of development and redevelopment activities.

During the same period in 2020, we invested $48.0 million, including:

o $16.0 million to fund the acquisition of an additional equity interest in one partnership,

o $15.8 million to fund our share of debt payments, and

o $16.2 million to fund our share of development and redevelopment activities.

 Return of capital from our unconsolidated real estate partnerships includes sales or financing proceeds. During the nine months ended September 30, 2021 we received $58.3 million from our share of proceeds from real estate sales and $28.1 million from our share of proceeds from debt refinancing activities. During the same period in 2020, we received $23.2 million from our share of proceeds from debt refinancing activities.

 Acquisition of securities and proceeds from sale of securities pertain to investment activities held in our captive insurance company and our deferred compensation plan.

We plan to continue developing and redeveloping shopping centers for long-term investment. During 2021, we deployed capital of $120.8 million for the development, redevelopment, and improvement of our real estate properties, comprised of the following:

	Nine months ended September 30,
(in thousands)	2021		2020		Change
Capital expenditures:
Building and tenant improvements	$	34,030		35,475		(1,445	)
Redevelopment costs		61,176		86,979		(25,803	)
Development costs		14,897		13,816		1,081
Capitalized interest		2,963		2,915		48
Capitalized direct compensation		7,761		10,108		(2,347	)
Real estate development and capital improvements	$	120,827		149,293		(28,466	)

 Building and tenant improvements decreased $1.4 million in 2021, primarily related to the timing of capital projects.

 Redevelopment expenditures are lower in 2021 due to the timing and magnitude of projects currently in process. We intend to continuously improve our portfolio of shopping centers through redevelopment which can include adjacent land acquisition, existing building expansion, facade renovation, new out-parcel building construction, and redevelopment related tenant improvement costs. The size and magnitude of each redevelopment project varies with each redevelopment plan. The timing and duration of these projects could also result in volatility in NOI. See the tables below for more details about our redevelopment projects.

 Development expenditures are higher in 2021 due to the progress towards completion of our development projects currently in process. See the tables below for more details about our development projects.

 Interest is capitalized on our development and redevelopment projects and is based on cumulative actual costs expended. We cease interest capitalization when the property is no longer being developed or is available for occupancy upon substantial completion of tenant improvements, but in no event would we capitalize interest on the project beyond 12 months after the anchor opens for business. If we reduce our development and redevelopment activity, the amount of interest that we capitalize may be lower than historical averages.

 We have a staff of employees who directly support our development program, which includes redevelopment of our existing properties. Internal compensation costs directly attributable to these activities are capitalized as part of each project. In light of the current pandemic environment and its impact on the retail industry, we expect that our development activity could be lower than pre-pandemic levels. As a result, we expect the amount of internal costs for development activities that may be capitalized could be lower than historical amounts.

---	---

At September 30, 2021, our investments in real estate partnerships had notes payable of $1.4 billion maturing through 2034, of which 93.2% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 3.7%. The remaining notes payable float with LIBOR and had a weighted average variable interest rate of 2.5%. These fixed and variable rate notes payable are all non-recourse, and our Pro-rata share was $517.5 million as of September 30, 2021. As notes payable mature, we expect they will be repaid from proceeds from new borrowings and/or partner capital contributions.

We believe that our partners are financially sound and have sufficient capital or access thereto to fund future capital requirements. In the event that a co-investment partner was unable to fund its share of the capital requirements of the co-investment partnership, we would have the right, but not the obligation, to loan the defaulting partner the amount of its capital call.

Management fee income

In addition to earning our Pro-rata share of net income or loss in each of these co-investment partnerships, we receive fees, as shown below:

	Three months ended September 30,					Nine months ended September 30,

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 1 to Unaudited Financial Statements.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to our shopping centers pertaining primarily to specific chemicals historically used by certain current and former dry cleaning tenants and the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers. We believe that the few tenants who currently operate dry cleaning plants or gas stations do so in accordance with current laws and regulations. Generally, we endeavor to require tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers or convert them to more environmentally friendly systems, in accordance with the terms of our leases. We have a blanket environmental insurance policy for third-party liabilities and remediation costs on shopping centers that currently have no known environmental contamination. We have also secured environmental insurance, where appropriate, on a relatively small number of specific properties with known contamination, in order to mitigate our environmental risk. We monitor the shopping centers containing environmental issues and in certain cases voluntarily remediate the sites. We also have legal obligations to remediate certain sites and we are in the process of doing so.

As of September 30, 2021, we had accrued liabilities of $7.4 million for our Pro-rata share of environmental remediation, including our Investments in real estate partnerships. We believe that the ultimate remediation of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations. We can give no assurance that existing environmental studies on our shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental contamination; that our estimate of liabilities will not change as more information becomes available; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to us; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to us.

Inflation/Deflation

Although inflation has been historically low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers, inflation has recently increased in the United States. Changes in economic conditions and supply chain constraints have spurred a rise in wages and increased costs for materials. Further, monetary policy and stimulus steps by the federal government and the Federal Reserve, could lead to higher inflation rates or prolonged inflation, which could negatively impact our tenants, our operating costs, and our construction costs. Substantially all of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation on our operating centers, which require tenants to pay their Pro-rata share of operating expenses, including common-area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. During deflationary periods or periods of economic weakness, minimum rents and percentage rents may decline as the supply of available retail space exceeds demand and consumer spending declines. Occupancy declines may also result in lower recovery rates of our operating expenses.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We continuously monitor the capital markets and evaluate our ability to issue new debt, to repay maturing debt, or fund our commitments. Although the capital markets have experienced volatility related to the pandemic, we continue to believe, in light of our credit ratings, the capacity under our unsecured credit facility, and the number of high quality, unencumbered properties that we own which could collateralize borrowings, we will be able to successfully issue new secured or unsecured debt to fund maturing debt obligations. However, the degree to which such capital market volatility will adversely impact the interest rates on any new debt that we may issue is uncertain. Otherwise, there have been no material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk disclosed in item 7A of Part II of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
