BRIXMOR PROPERTY GROUP INC. AND BRIXMOR OPERATING PARTNERSHIP LP
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited, dollars in thousands, unless otherwise stated)
1. Nature of Business and Financial Statement Presentation
Description of Business
Brixmor Property Group Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Parent Company”) is an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations and owns substantially all of its assets. The Parent Company owns 100 % of the common stock of BPG Subsidiary Inc. (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole member of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, disposition and redevelopment of retail shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other substantial assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (collectively, the “Company” or “Brixmor”) believes it owns and operates one of the largest open air retail portfolios by gross leasable area (“GLA”) in the United States (“U.S.”), comprised primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers. As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s portfolio was comprised of 421 shopping centers (the “Portfolio”) totaling approximately 73 million square feet of GLA. The Company’s high-quality national Portfolio is primarily located within established trade areas in the top 50 Metropolitan Statistical Areas in the U.S., and its shopping centers are primarily anchored by non-discretionary and value-oriented retailers, as well as consumer-oriented service providers.
The Company does not distinguish its principal business or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company has a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented have been included. The operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 and accompanying notes included in the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 11, 2019.
Certain prior period balances in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation for the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842 “Leases” (“ASC 842”) (described below), which supersedes Accounting Standards Codification Topic 840 “Leases” (“ASC 840”).
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, each of their wholly owned subsidiaries and all other entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.
Deferred Leasing and Financing Costs
Costs incurred in executing tenant leases and long-term financings are capitalized and amortized using the straight-line method over the term of the related lease or debt agreement, which approximates the effective interest method. For tenant leases, capitalized costs incurred include tenant improvements and leasing commissions. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, the Company no longer capitalizes partial salaries and/or legal fees incurred in executing tenant leases. These amounts were capitalized under previous guidance. For long-term financings, capitalized costs incurred include bank and legal fees. The amortization of deferred leasing and financing costs is included in Depreciation and amortization and Interest expense, respectively, in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements
13
of Operations and within Operating activities on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Revenue Recognition and Receivables
The Company enters into agreements with tenants which convey the right to control the use of identified space at its shopping centers in exchange for rental revenue. These agreements meet the criteria for recognition as leases under ASC 842. Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases. The cumulative difference between rental revenue recognized in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and contractual payment terms is recognized as deferred rent and presented on the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within Receivables. The Company commences recognizing rental revenue based on the date it makes the underlying asset available for use by the tenant. Leases also typically provide for the reimbursement of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes by the lessee and are recognized in the period the applicable expenditures are incurred.
In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, the Company has evaluated the lease and non-lease components within its leases and has elected the practical expedient to present lease and non-lease components in its lease agreements as one component. As such, the Company accounts for rental revenue (lease component) and common area expense reimbursements (non-lease component) as one lease component under ASC 842. Additionally, the Company includes the non-components of its leases, such as the reimbursement of utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, within this lease component. These amounts are included in Rental income in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Certain leases also provide for percentage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by a lessee. These percentage rents are recognized upon the achievement of certain pre-determined sales levels and are included in Rental income in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Gains from the sale of depreciated operating properties are generally recognized under the full accrual method, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of the sale and subsequent involvement by the Company with the applicable property are met.
The Company periodically evaluates the collectability of its receivables related to rental revenue, straight-line rent, expense reimbursements and those attributable to other revenue generating activities. The Company analyzes individual tenant receivables and considers tenant credit-worthiness, the length of time a receivable has been outstanding, and current economic trends when evaluating collectability. In addition, tenants in bankruptcy are analyzed and estimates are made in connection with the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims. Any receivables that are deemed to be uncollectible are recognized as a reduction to Rental income in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. Prior period Provision for doubtful accounts is presented on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in accordance with the Company's previous presentation and has not been reclassified to Rental income.
Leases
The Company periodically enters into agreements in which it is the lessee, including ground leases for neighborhood and community shopping centers that it operates and office leases for administrative space. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842, the Company evaluated these agreements and determined that they meet the criteria for recognition as leases under ASC 842. For these agreements the Company recognizes an operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and operating lease liability based on the present value of the minimum lease payments over the non-cancellable lease term. As the rates implicit in the leases are not readily determinable, the Company uses its incremental secured borrowing rate based on the information available at the commencement date to determine the present value of the lease payments. The lease terms utilized by the Company may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that it will exercise that option. The Company evaluates many factors, including current and future lease cash flows, when determining if an option to extend or terminate should be included in the non-cancellable period. Lease expense for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has elected to apply the short-term lease exemption within ASC 842 and has not recorded an ROU asset or lease liability for leases with terms of less than 12 months.
Additionally, leases also typically provide for the reimbursement of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes by the Company. In connection with the adoption of ASC 842,
14
the Company has evaluated the lease and non-lease components within its leases and has elected the practical expedient to present lease and non-lease components in its lease agreements as one component. As such, the Company accounts for lease payments (lease component) and common area expense reimbursements (non-lease component) as one lease component under ASC 842. Additionally, the Company includes the non-components of its leases, such as the reimbursement of utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, within this lease component. These amounts are included in Operating expenses in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Income Taxes
Brixmor Property Group Inc. has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains. It is management’s intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain Brixmor Property Group Inc.’s REIT status.
As a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. Brixmor Property Group Inc. conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership which is organized as a limited partnership and treated as a pass-through entity for U.S. federal tax purposes. Therefore, U.S. federal income taxes on the Company’s taxable income do not materially impact the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
If Brixmor Property Group Inc. fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years. Even if Brixmor Property Group Inc. qualifies for taxation as a REIT, Brixmor Property Group Inc. is subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income as well as other income items, as applicable.
Brixmor Property Group Inc. has elected to treat certain of its subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries (each a “TRS”), and Brixmor Property Group Inc. may in the future elect to treat newly formed and/or other existing subsidiaries as TRSs. A TRS may participate in non-real estate related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and is subject to certain limitations under the Code. A TRS is subject to U.S. federal and state income taxes at regular corporate rates. Income taxes related to Brixmor Property Group Inc.’s TRSs do not materially impact the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
The Company has considered the tax positions taken for the open tax years and has concluded that no provision for income taxes related to uncertain tax positions is required in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. Open tax years generally range from 2015 through 2018, but may vary by jurisdiction and issue. The Company recognizes penalties and interest accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits as income tax expense, which is included in Other on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.
New Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2018-19, “Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses.” ASU 2018-19 clarifies that receivables arising from operating leases are not within the scope of Subtopic 326-20. Instead, impairment of receivables arising from operating leases should be accounted for in accordance with ASC 842, Leases. The standard is effective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-19 to have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. Information regarding the adoption of ASC 842 is described below.
In October 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-16, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815).” ASU 2018-16 amends guidance to permit the use of the Overnight Index Swap rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under Topic 815. The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019. The Company determined that these changes did not have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
15
In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, “Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820).” ASU 2018-13 amends certain disclosure requirements regarding the fair value hierarchy of investments in accordance with GAAP, particularly the significant unobservable inputs used to value investments within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. The standard is effective on January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of ASU 2018-13 to have a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e., lessees and lessors). ASU 2016-02 was subsequently amended by ASU 2018-01, “Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842”; ASU 2018-10, “Codification Improvements to Topic 842”; ASU 2018-11, “Targeted Improvements”; and ASU 2018-20, “Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors”. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. A lessee is also required to recognize an ROU asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months, regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less qualify for the short-term lease recognition exemption and may be accounted for similar to previous guidance for operating leases. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to previous guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases.
Adoption
The standard became effective for the Company on January 1, 2019 and a modified retrospective transition approach was required. The Company determined that the adoption of ASC 842 had a material impact on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company. The Company elected the following optional practical expedients upon adoption:
| • | The Company did not reassess whether a current arrangement contains a lease. (ASU 2016-02) |

| • | The Company did not reassess current lease classification. (ASU 2016-02) |

| • | The Company did not reassess initial direct costs recognized under previous guidance. (ASU 2016-02) |

| • | The Company did not reassess current land easements under ASC 842. (ASU 2018-01) |

| • | The Company applied ASC 842 as of the effective date. Therefore, the Company’s reporting for the comparative periods presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company will continue to be in accordance with ASC 840, however certain prior period balances in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. The Company recognized a $ 2.0 million cumulative adjustment to decrease retained earnings for indirect leasing costs capitalized for executed leases that had not commenced as of the adoption date of ASC 842. (ASU 2018-11) |

| • | The Company elected, by class of underlying asset, not to separate non-lease components from the associated lease components and instead account for them as a single component. This resulted in the consolidation of Rental income and Expense reimbursements on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. (ASU 2018-11) |

Lessee
For leases where the Company is the lessee, primarily for the Company’s ground leases and administrative office leases, the Company was required to record an ROU asset and a lease liability on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on the effective date. The Company elected to apply the short-term lease recognition exemption for all leases that qualified.
Lessor
For leases where the Company is the lessor, the Company will continue to record revenues from rental properties for its operating leases on a straight-line basis. In addition, initial direct leasing costs continue to be capitalized, however, indirect leasing costs previously capitalized are being expensed under ASC 842. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company capitalized $ 2.6 million and $ 5.5 million, respectively, of indirect leasing costs, including leasing payroll and legal costs.
16
In addition, ASC 842 requires that additional lease disclosures be presented in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company for both lessor and lessee lease agreements. See Notes 9 and 10 for additional information.
Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they either are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material effect on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

Hurricane Michael Impact
On October 7, 2018, Hurricane Michael struck Florida resulting in widespread damage and flooding. The Company has two properties, totaling 0.4 million square feet of GLA, which were impacted. The Company maintains comprehensive property insurance on these properties, including business interruption insurance.
As of June 30, 2019, the Company’s assessment of the damages sustained to its properties from Hurricane Michael resulted in $ 13.7 million of accelerated depreciation, representing the estimated net book value of damaged assets. The Company also recognized a corresponding receivable for estimated property insurance recoveries related to the write-down. As such, there was no impact to net income during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and year ended December 31, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, the Company has received property insurance proceeds of $ 3.0 million and has a remaining receivable balance of $ 10.7 million, which is included in Receivables on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
5. Impairments
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated hold period and general market conditions, that the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets (including any related intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. If management determines that the carrying value of a real estate asset is impaired, a loss is recognized to reflect the estimated fair value.

6. Financial Instruments – Derivatives and Hedging
The Company’s use of derivative instruments is intended to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and such instruments are not utilized for speculative purposes. In certain situations, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements that result in the receipt and/or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates.
20
Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
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 exchanging the underlying notional amount. The Company utilizes interest rate swaps to partially hedge the cash flows associated with variable LIBOR based debt. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company did no t enter into any new interest rate swap agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company entered into four forward starting interest rate swap agreements with an effective date of January 2, 2019, an aggregate notional value of $ 300.0 million, a weighted average fixed rate of 2.61 % and an expiration date of July 26, 2024.
Detail on the Company’s interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 is as follows:
| Number of Instruments | Notional Amount |
| June 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 | June 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 |
| Interest Rate Swaps | 7 | 10 | $ | 800,000 | $ | 1,200,000 |

The Company has elected to present its interest rate derivatives on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis as interest rate swap assets and interest rate swap liabilities. Detail on the Company’s fair value of interest rate derivatives on a gross and net basis as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively, is as follows:
| Fair Value of Derivative Instruments |
| Interest rate swaps classified as: | June 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 |
| Gross derivative assets | $ | 5,974 | $ | 18,630 |
| Gross derivative liabilities | ( 13,956 | ) | ( 2,571 | ) |
| Net derivative assets (liabilities) | $ | ( 7,982 | ) | $ | 16,059 |

The gross derivative assets are included in Other assets and the gross derivative liabilities are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. All of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements for the periods presented were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The fair value of the Company’s interest rate derivatives is determined using market standard valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivative, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. These inputs are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) and is reclassified into earnings as interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
The effective portion of the Company’s interest rate swaps that was recognized in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows:
| Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships (Interest Rate Swaps) | Three Months Ended June 30, | Six Months Ended June 30, |
| 2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 |
| Change in unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps | $ | ( 12,306 | ) | $ | 3,001 | $ | ( 19,250 | ) | $ | 10,235 |
| Accretion of interest rate swaps to interest expense | ( 1,678 | ) | ( 3,582 | ) | ( 4,791 | ) | ( 6,043 | ) |
| Change in unrealized gain (loss) on interest rate swaps, net | $ | ( 13,984 | ) | $ | ( 581 | ) | $ | ( 24,041 | ) | $ | 4,192 |

The Company estimates that $ 1.6 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income as a decrease to interest expense over the next twelve months. No gain or loss was recognized related to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Company’s cash flow hedges during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.
Non-Designated (Mark-to-Market) Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company did not have any non-designated hedges.
21
Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain provisions whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its indebtedness and the indebtedness has been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. If the Company were to breach any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value including accrued interest.
7. Debt Obligations

2019 Debt Transactions
In May 2019, the Operating Partnership issued $ 400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125 % Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), the net proceeds of which were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under the Operating Partnership’s Unsecured Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.125 % per annum, payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2019. The 2029 Notes will mature on May 15, 2029. The Operating Partnership may redeem the 2029 Notes prior to maturity at its option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at the applicable redemption price specified in the Indenture with respect to the 2029 Notes. If the 2029 Notes are redeemed on or after February 15, 2029 (three months prior to the maturity date), the redemption price will be equal to 100 % of the principal amount of the 2029
22
Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. The 2029 Notes are the Operating Partnership’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repaid $ 361.0 million of indebtedness under the Unsecured Credit Facility, including $ 200.0 million of unsecured term loans and $ 161.0 million of the Revolving Facility, net of borrowings. These repayments were funded primarily with proceeds from the issuance of the 2029 Notes. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company recognized a $ 0.7 million loss on extinguishment of debt, net as a result of debt transactions. Loss on extinguishment of debt, net includes $ 0.7 million of accelerated unamortized debt issuance costs.

As of the date the financial statements were issued, the Company did not have any scheduled debt maturities for the next 12 months.
8. Fair Value Disclosures
All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management’s judgment, reasonably approximate their fair values, except those instruments listed below:
| June 30, 2019 | December 31, 2018 |
| CarryingAmounts | FairValue | CarryingAmounts | FairValue |
| Secured loans | $ | 7,196 | $ | 7,279 | $ | 7,217 | $ | 7,072 |
| Notes payable | 3,834,489 | 3,978,004 | 3,436,014 | 3,372,418 |
| Unsecured Credit Facility and term loans | 1,083,852 | 1,091,214 | 1,442,632 | 1,452,382 |
| Total debt obligations, net | $ | 4,925,537 | $ | 5,076,497 | $ | 4,885,863 | $ | 4,831,872 |

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy is included in GAAP that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the
23
significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
The valuation methodology used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations is based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with assumptions that include credit spreads, interest rate curves, estimated property values, loan amounts and maturity dates. Based on these inputs, the Company has determined that the valuations of its debt obligations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.
Recurring Fair Value
The Company’s marketable securities and interest rate derivatives are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuations of the Company’s marketable securities are based primarily on publicly traded market values in active markets and are classified within Level 1 or 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 6 for fair value information regarding the Company’s interest rate derivatives.
The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a recurring basis:
| Fair Value Measurements as of June 30, 2019 |
| Balance | Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1) | Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2) | Significant Unobservable Inputs (Level 3) |

Non-Recurring Fair Value
On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance, changes in anticipated hold period and general market conditions, that the carrying value of the Company’s real estate assets (including any related intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. Fair value is determined by offers from third-party buyers, market comparable data, third party appraisals or by discounted cash flow analysis. The cash flows utilized in such analyses are comprised of unobservable inputs which include forecasted rental revenue and expenses based upon market conditions and future expectations. The capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in such analyses are based upon unobservable rates that we believe to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for the respective properties. Based on these inputs, the Company has determined that the valuations of these properties are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.
24
The following table presents the placement in the fair value hierarchy of assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized at fair value on a non-recurring basis. The table includes information related to properties that were remeasured to fair value as a result of impairment testing during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and during the year ended December 31, 2018, excluding the properties sold prior to June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively:

The capitalization rates (ranging from 9.0 % to 9.3 %) and discount rates (ranging from 6.0 % to 10.4 %) which were utilized in the discounted cash flow analyses were based upon unobservable rates that the Company believes to be within a reasonable range of current market rates for each respective investment. |

9. Revenue Recognition
The Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, disposition and redevelopment of retail shopping centers. Revenue is primarily generated through lease agreements and classified as Rental income on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. These agreements include retail shopping center unit leases; ground leases; ancillary leases or agreements, such as agreements with tenants for cellular towers, ATMs, and short-term or seasonal retail (e.g. Halloween or Christmas-related retail); and reciprocal easement agreements. The agreements range in term from less than one year to 25 or more years, with certain agreements containing extension options. These extension options range from as little as one month to five or more years. The Company’s retail shopping center leases generally require tenants to pay their portion of reimbursable expenses such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes.
As of June 30, 2019, the fixed contractual lease payments to be received over the next five years pursuant to the terms of non-cancelable operating leases are included in the table below, assuming that no leases are renewed and no renewal options are exercised. Additionally, the table does not include variable lease payments which may be received under certain leases for percentage rents or the reimbursement of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes. These variable lease payments are recognized in the period when the applicable expenditures are incurred or, in the case of percentage rents, when the sales data is made available.
| Year ending December 31, | Operating Leases |
| 2019 (remaining six months) | $ | 425,074 |

10. Leases
The Company periodically enters into agreements in which it is the lessee, including ground leases for neighborhood and community shopping centers that it operates and office leases for administrative space. The agreements range in term from less than one year to 50 or more years, with certain agreements containing extension options for up to an additional 100 years. As of June 30, 2019 the Company is not including any options to extend or any termination options in its ROU asset, as the exercise of such options is not reasonably certain. Upon lease execution, the Company measures a liability for the present value of future lease payments over the noncancellable period of the lease. Certain agreements require the Company to pay its portion of reimbursable expenses such as common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes. These payments are not included in the calculation of the lease liability and are presented as variable lease costs.

11. Equity and Capital
Share Repurchase Program
In December 2017, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Program”) for up to $ 400.0 million of the Company’s common stock. The Program is scheduled to expire on December 5, 2019, unless extended by the Board of Directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the Company repurchased 0.8 million shares of common stock under the Program at an average price per share of $ 17.43 for a total of $ 14.6 million, excluding commissions. The Company incurred commissions of less than $ 0.1 million in conjunction with the Program for the six months ended June 30, 2019. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, the Company repurchased 2.2 million shares of common stock under the Program at an average price per share of $ 15.36 for a total of $ 33.2 million, excluding commissions. The Company incurred commissions of less than $ 0.1 million in conjunction with the Program for the six months ended June 30, 2018. As of June 30, 2019, the Program had $ 275.0 million of available repurchase capacity.
Common Stock
In connection with the vesting of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) under the Company’s equity-based compensation plan, the Company withholds shares to satisfy tax withholding obligations. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company withheld 0.1 million shares.
Dividends and Distributions
During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company declared common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $ 0.280 per share/unit and $ 0.275 per share/unit, respectively. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the Company had declared but unpaid common stock dividends and OP Unit distributions of $ 85.2 million and $ 85.3 million, respectively. These amounts are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
12. Stock Based Compensation
During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Board of Directors approved the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for a maximum of 15.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and RSUs, OP Units, performance awards and other stock-based awards.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company granted RSUs to certain employees. The RSUs are divided into multiple tranches, which are all subject to service-based vesting conditions. Certain tranches are also subject to performance-based or market-based vesting conditions, which contain a threshold, target, and maximum number of units which can be earned. The number of units actually earned for each tranche is determined based on performance during a specified performance period. Tranches that only have a service-based component can only earn a target number of units. The aggregate number of RSUs granted, assuming that the target level of performance is achieved, was 0.8 million and 0.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and
27
the year ended December 31, 2018, respectively, with vesting periods ranging from one to five years . For the performance-based and service-based RSUs granted, fair value is based on the Company’s grant date stock price. For the market-based RSUs granted during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and the year ended December 31, 2018, the Company calculated the grant date fair values per unit using a Monte Carlo simulation based on the probability of satisfying the market performance hurdles over the remainder of the performance period based on the Company’s historical common stock performance relative to the other companies within the FTSE NAREIT Equity Shopping Centers Index as well as the following significant assumptions: (i) volatility of 20.0 % to 21.0 % and 29.0 % to 32.0 %, respectively; (ii) a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 2.55 % and 2.43 % to 2.53 %, respectively; and (iii) the Company’s weighted average common stock dividend yield of 5.6 % and 5.6 %, respectively.
During the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $ 3.4 million and $ 2.8 million of equity compensation expense, respectively, of which $ 0.2 million and $ 0.0 million was capitalized, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the Company recognized $ 6.0 million and $ 5.3 million of equity compensation expense, respectively, of which $ 0.4 million and $ 0.0 million was capitalized, respectively. These amounts are included in General and administrative expense in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. As of June 30, 2019, the Company had $ 22.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested stock compensation, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.4 years.

13. Earnings per Share
Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders, including any participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Certain restricted shares issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such stockholders have rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends. Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock. Unvested RSUs are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the Company’s common stock.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the EPS calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):
| Three MonthsEnded June 30, | Six MonthsEnded June 30, |

29
14. Earnings per Unit
Basic earnings per unit is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Operating Partnership’s common unitholders, including any participating securities, by the weighted average number of partnership common units outstanding for the period. Certain restricted units issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such unitholders have rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends. Fully-diluted earnings per unit reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common units were exercised or converted into common units. Unvested RSUs are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the Operating Partnership’s common units.
The following table provides a reconciliation of the numerator and denominator of the earnings per unit calculations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (dollars in thousands, except per unit data):

15. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Matters
Except as described below, the Company is not presently involved in any material litigation arising outside the ordinary course of business. However, the Company is involved in routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business, none of which the Company believes, individually or in the aggregate, taking into account existing reserves, will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.
On February 8, 2016, the Company issued a press release and filed a Form 8-K reporting the completion of a review by the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors that began after the Company received information in late December 2015 through its established compliance processes. The Audit Committee review led the Board of Directors to conclude that specific Company accounting and financial reporting personnel, in certain instances, were smoothing income items, both up and down, between reporting periods in an effort to achieve consistent quarterly same property net operating income growth.
As a result of the Audit Committee review and the conclusions reached by the Board of Directors, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its President and Chief Financial Officer, its Chief Accounting Officer and Treasurer, and an accounting employee all resigned. Following these resignations the Company appointed a new Interim Chief Executive Officer and President, Interim Chief Financial Officer and Interim Chief Accounting Officer. A new Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer were appointed effective May 20, 2016. A new Chief Accounting Officer was appointed effective March 8, 2017.
Prior to the Company’s February 8, 2016 announcement, the Company voluntarily reported these matters to the SEC. As a result, the SEC and the United States Attorney’s Office for the Southern District of New York (“SDNY”) have been conducting investigations of certain aspects of the Company’s financial reporting and accounting for prior periods and the Company has been cooperating fully.
The Company and the Staff of the SEC Enforcement Division have been discussing a possible negotiated resolution with respect to the SEC investigation. Agreement has been reached on the material terms of such a resolution, which is still subject to finalizing the necessary documents and obtaining approval by the SEC, which cannot be assured. The agreement provides for, among other things, (i) the Company consenting to a cease and desist order, without admitting or denying the findings therein, with respect to violations of Sections 10(b) and 13(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, certain related rules and Rule 100(b) of Regulation G and (ii) the payment of a civil penalty of $ 7.0 million. As of June 30, 2019, the $ 7.0 million contingent liability is included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company believes that no additional government proceedings relating to these matters will be brought against the Company. The Company understands that the SEC and SDNY inquiries into these matters with respect to certain former employees are ongoing.
As previously disclosed, on December 13, 2017, the United States District Court for the Southern District of New York granted final approval of the settlement of the previously disclosed putative securities class action complaint filed in March 2016 by the Westchester Putnam Counties Heavy & Highway Laborers Local 60 Benefit Funds related to the review conducted by the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors. Pursuant to the approved settlement, without any admission of liability, the Company paid $ 28.0 million to settle the claims. This amount was within the coverage amount of the Company’s applicable insurance policies and was funded into escrow by the insurance carriers. During the year ended December 31, 2018, $ 8.5 million of the settlement amount was released from escrow per the court approved settlement agreement for the payment of plaintiff’s legal fees. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, the remaining settlement balance of $ 19.5 million was released from escrow. The settlement provides for the release of, among others, the Company, its subsidiaries, and their respective current and former officers, directors and employees from the claims that were or could have been asserted in the class action litigation.
As previously disclosed, certain institutional investors elected to opt out of the class action settlement and accordingly were not bound by the release and did not receive any of the class action settlement proceeds. On October 10, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to settle these claims for $ 8.0 million. This amount, which was paid in full during the year ended December 31, 2018, was within the coverage amount of the Company’s applicable insurance policies and was paid by the insurance carriers. The settlement provides for the release of, among others, the Company,
31
its subsidiaries, and their respective current and former officers, directors and employees from the claims that were or could have been asserted in the opt out lawsuit.
Environmental matters
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be or become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released on or in the Company’s property or disposed of by the Company or its tenants, as well as certain other potential costs which could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property). The Company does not believe that any resulting liability from such matters will have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows, or financial position.
16. Related-Party Transactions
In the ordinary course of conducting its business, the Company enters into agreements with its affiliates in relation to the leasing and management of its real estate assets.
As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, there were no material receivables from or payables to related parties.
17. Subsequent Events
In preparing the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring after June 30, 2019 for recognition and/or disclosure purposes. Based on this evaluation, there were no subsequent events from June 30, 2019 through the date the financial statements were issued.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations.
Executive Summary
Our Company
Brixmor Property Group Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, “BPG”) is an internally-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which BPG conducts substantially all of its operations and owns substantially all of its assets. BPG owns 100% of the common stock of BPG Subsidiary Inc. (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole member of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, “we,” “our,” and “us” mean BPG and the Operating Partnership, collectively. We believe we own and operate one of the largest open air retail portfolios by gross leasable area (“GLA”) in the United States (“U.S.”), comprised primarily of community and neighborhood shopping centers. As of June 30, 2019, our portfolio was comprised of 421 shopping centers (the “Portfolio”) totaling approximately 73 million square feet of GLA. Our high-quality national Portfolio is primarily located within established trade areas in the top 50 Metropolitan Statistical Areas (“MSAs”) in the U.S., and our shopping centers are primarily anchored by non-discretionary and value-oriented retailers, as well as consumer-oriented service providers. As of June 30, 2019, our three largest tenants by annualized base rent (“ABR”) were The TJX Companies, Inc. (“TJX”), The Kroger Co. (“Kroger”), and Dollar Tree Stores, Inc. BPG has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under U.S. federal income tax laws, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2011, has maintained such requirements through our taxable year ended December 31, 2018, and intends to satisfy such requirements for subsequent taxable years.
Our primary objective is to maximize total returns to our stockholders through consistent, sustainable growth in cash flow. Our key strategies to achieve this objective include proactively managing our Portfolio to drive internal growth, pursuing value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities and prudently executing on acquisition and disposition activity, while also maintaining a flexible capital structure positioned for growth. In addition, as we execute on our key strategies, we do so guided by a commitment to operate in a socially responsible manner that allows us to realize our goal of owning and managing properties that are the center of the communities we serve.
We believe the following set of competitive advantages positions us to successfully execute on our key strategies:
| • | Expansive Retailer Relationships – We believe that the scale of our asset base and our nationwide footprint represent competitive advantages in supporting the growth objectives of the nation’s largest and most successful retailers. We believe that we are one of the largest landlords by GLA to TJX and Kroger, as well as a key landlord to most major grocers and retail category leaders. We believe that our strong relationships with leading retailers afford us unique insight into their strategies and priority access to their expansion plans. |

| • | Fully-Integrated Operating Platform – We manage a fully-integrated operating platform, leveraging our national scope and demonstrating our commitment to operating with a strong regional and local presence. We provide our tenants with dedicated service through both our national accounts leasing team based in New York and our network of four regional offices in Atlanta, Chicago, Philadelphia and San Diego, as well as our 10 leasing and property management satellite offices throughout the country. We believe that this structure enables us to obtain critical national market intelligence, while also benefitting from the regional and local expertise of our leasing and operations team. |

| • | Experienced Management – Senior members of our management team are seasoned real estate operators with extensive public company leadership experience. Our management team has deep industry knowledge and well-established relationships with retailers, brokers and vendors through many years of operational and transactional experience, as well as significant expertise in executing value-enhancing reinvestment opportunities. |

33
Other Factors That May Influence our Future Results
We derive our revenues primarily from rent and expense reimbursements paid by tenants to us under existing leases at each of our properties. Expense reimbursements primarily consist of payments made by tenants to us for their proportional share of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties.
The amount of revenue we receive is primarily dependent on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates, renew expiring leases and/or lease available space. Factors that could affect our rental income include: (1) changes in national, regional and local economic climates or demographics; (2) local market conditions, including an oversupply of space in, or a reduction in demand for, properties similar to those in our Portfolio; (3) competition from other available properties and e-commerce, and the attractiveness of properties in our Portfolio to our tenants; (4) ongoing disruption and/or consolidation in the retail sector, the financial stability of our tenants and the overall financial condition of large retailing companies, including their ability to pay rent and expense reimbursements; (5) in the case of percentage rents, the sales volume of our tenants; (6) increases in property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, which are relatively inflexible and generally do not decrease if revenue or occupancy decreases; (7) increases in the costs to repair, renovate and re-lease space; (8) earthquakes, tornadoes, hurricanes, damage from rising sea levels due to climate change, other natural disasters, civil unrest, terrorist acts or acts of war, which may result in uninsured or underinsured losses; and (9) changes in laws and governmental regulations, including those governing usage, zoning, the environment and taxes.
Our property operating expenses represent costs, such as repairs and maintenance, landscaping, snow removal, utilities, security, ground rent related to properties for which we are the lessee, property insurance, real estate taxes and various other costs. Increases in our property operating expenses, to the extent they are not offset by increases in revenue, may impact our overall performance. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018.

Rental income
The decrease in rental income for the three months ended June 30, 2019 of $22.0 million, as compared to the corresponding period in 2018, was primarily due to a $24.9 million decrease due to net disposition activity, partially offset by a $2.9 million increase for the remaining portfolio. The increase for the remaining portfolio was due to (i) a $3.3 million increase in base rent; (ii) a $2.5 million increase in straight-line rent; (iii) a $1.1 million increase in lease termination fees; (iv) a $0.5 million increase in percentage rents; (v) a $0.4 million increase in expense reimbursements; and (vi) a $0.4 million increase in ancillary and other rental income; partially offset by (vii) a $3.3 million decrease in accretion of above- and below-market leases and tenant inducements, net; and (viii) a $2.0 million increase in revenues deemed uncollectible. The $3.3 million increase in base rent for the remaining portfolio was primarily due to contractual rent increases as well as positive rent spreads for new and renewal leases and option exercises of 10.9% during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 11.8% during the year ended December 31, 2018, partially offset by a decline in billed occupancy. In connection with the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification 842 (“ASC 842”), revenues deemed uncollectible, as noted above, is now recognized as an adjustment to Rental income.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We anticipate that our cash flows from the sources listed below will provide adequate capital for the next 12 months and beyond for all anticipated uses, including all scheduled principal and interest payments on our outstanding indebtedness, current and anticipated tenant and other capital improvements, stockholder distributions to maintain our qualification as a REIT and other obligations associated with conducting our business.
Our primary expected sources and uses of capital are as follows:
Sources
| • | cash and cash equivalent balances; |

40
| • | operating cash flow; |

| • | available borrowings under our existing Unsecured Credit Facility; |

| • | dispositions; |

| • | issuance of long-term debt; and |

| • | issuance of equity securities. |

Uses
| • | maintenance capital expenditures; |

| • | leasing-related capital expenditures; |

| • | debt repayments; |

| • | anchor space repositioning, redevelopment, development and other value-enhancing capital expenditures; |

| • | dividend/distribution payments |

| • | acquisitions; and |

| • | repurchases of equity securities. |

We believe our current capital structure provides us with the financial flexibility and capacity to fund our current capital needs as well as future growth opportunities. We have access to multiple forms of capital, including secured property level debt, unsecured corporate level debt, preferred equity, and common equity, which will allow us to efficiently execute on our strategic and operational objectives. We currently have investment grade credit ratings from all three major credit rating agencies. As of June 30, 2019, our $1.25 billion revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Facility”) had $1.1 billion of undrawn capacity and we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.3 million, which reduce available liquidity under the Revolving Facility. We intend to continue to enhance our financial and operational flexibility through the additional extension of the duration of our debt.
In May 2019, we issued $400.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.125% Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Notes”), the net proceeds of which were used to repay outstanding indebtedness under our Unsecured Credit Facility and for general corporate purposes. The 2029 Notes bear interest at a rate of 4.125% per annum, payable semi-annually on May 15 and November 15 of each year, commencing November 15, 2019. The 2029 Notes will mature on May 15, 2029. We may redeem the 2029 Notes prior to maturity at its option, at any time in whole or from time to time in part, at the applicable redemption price specified in the Indenture with respect to the 2029 Notes. If the 2029 Notes are redeemed on or after February 15, 2029 (three months prior to the maturity date), the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2029 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date. The 2029 Notes are our unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of our existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness.
In December 2017, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program (the “Program”) for up to $400.0 million of our common stock. The Program is scheduled to expire on December 5, 2019, unless extended by the Board of Directors. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we repurchased 0.8 million shares of common stock under the Program at an average price per share of $17.43 for a total of $14.6 million, excluding commissions. We incurred commissions of less than $0.1 million in conjunction with the program for the six months ended June 30, 2019. As of June 30, 2019, the Program had $275.0 million of available repurchase capacity.
In connection with our intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we expect to continue paying regular dividends to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the dividend policy on a quarterly basis, evaluating sources and uses of capital, operating fundamentals, maintenance of our REIT qualification and other factors our Board of Directors may deem relevant. We generally intend to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio. Cash dividends paid to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 were $167.8 million and $167.6 million, respectively. Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per common share in April 2019 for the second quarter of 2019. The dividend was paid on July 15, 2019 to shareholders of record on July 5, 2019. Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.28 per common share in July 2019 for the third quarter of 2019. The dividend is payable on October 15, 2019 to shareholders of record on October 4, 2019.

Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities primarily consists of cash inflows from tenant rental payments and expense reimbursements and cash outflows for property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and interest expense.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our net cash provided by operating activities decreased $29.3 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease is primarily due to (i) a decrease in net operating income due to net disposition activity; (ii) a decrease from net working capital; and (iii) an increase in cash outflows for general and administrative expense; partially offset by (iv) a decrease in cash outflows for interest expense; (v) an increase in same property net operating income; and (vi) an increase in lease termination fees.
Investing Activities
Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and magnitude of acquisition and disposition activity and improvements to and investments in our shopping centers, including capital expenditures associated with leasing and value-enhancing reinvestment efforts.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our net cash used in investing activities increased $247.3 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The increase was primarily due to (i) a decrease of $144.3 million in net proceeds from sales of real estate assets; (ii) an increase of $72.2 million in acquisitions of real estate assets; and (iii) an increase of $48.9 million in improvements to and investments in real estate assets; partially offset by (iv) an increase of $18.1 million in proceeds from sale of marketable securities, net of purchases.
Improvements to and investments in real estate assets
During the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, we expended $169.5 million and $120.6 million, respectively, on improvements to and investments in real estate assets. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, insurance proceeds of $1.4 million and $2.8 million, respectively, were received and included in improvements to and investments in real estate assets.
Maintenance capital expenditures represent costs to fund major replacements and betterments to our properties. Leasing related capital expenditures represent tenant specific costs incurred to lease space, including tenant improvements and tenant allowances. In addition, we evaluate our Portfolio on an ongoing basis to identify value-enhancing anchor space repositioning, redevelopment, outparcel development, new development and other opportunities. Such initiatives are tenant driven and focus on upgrading our centers with strong, best-in-class retailers and enhancing the overall merchandise mix and tenant quality of our Portfolio. As of June 30, 2019, we had
42
61 projects in process with an aggregate anticipated cost of $414.6 million, of which $186.2 million has been incurred as of June 30, 2019.
Acquisitions of and proceeds from sales of real estate assets
We continue to evaluate the market for acquisition opportunities and we may acquire shopping centers when we believe strategic opportunities exist, particularly where we can further concentrate our Portfolio in attractive retail submarkets and optimize the quality and long-term growth rate of our asset base. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we acquired two shopping centers, two leases at an existing shopping center and one land parcel for an aggregate purchase price of $79.6 million, including transaction costs. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we acquired one land parcel and one outparcel for an aggregate purchase price of $7.5 million, including transaction costs.
We may also dispose of properties when we believe value has been maximized, where there is further downside risk, or where we have limited ability or desire to build critical mass in a particular submarket. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we disposed of six shopping centers and three partial shopping centers for aggregate net proceeds of $94.8 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, we received aggregate net proceeds of $0.3 million from previously disposed assets. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we disposed of 15 shopping centers, one partial shopping center and one outparcel for aggregate net proceeds of $238.9 million. In addition, during the six months ended June 30, 2018, we received net proceeds of $0.5 million from previously disposed assets.
Financing Activities
Net cash used in financing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and magnitude of issuances and repurchases of debt and equity securities, as well as principal payments associated with our outstanding indebtedness and distributions made to our common stockholders.
During the six months ended June 30, 2019, our net cash used in financing activities decreased $248.3 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2018. The decrease was primarily due to (i) a $232.6 million increase in debt borrowings, net of repayments and (ii) a decrease of $18.8 million in repurchases of common stock, partially offset by (iii) a $3.0 million increase in deferred financing and debt extinguishment costs.
Contractual Obligations
Our contractual obligations relate to our debt, including unsecured notes payable, unsecured credit facilities and a secured loan, with maturities ranging from two years to 11 years, in addition to non-cancelable operating leases pertaining to ground leases and administrative office leases.

| (1) | Debt includes scheduled maturities for unsecured notes payable, unsecured credit facilities and a secured loan. |

| (2) | As of June 30, 2019, we incur variable rate interest on (i) $300.0 million outstanding of a $500.0 million term loan under our Unsecured Credit Facility; (ii) a $350.0 million term loan outstanding; (iii) a $300 million term loan outstanding; (iv) $145.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Facility; and (v) $250.0 million outstanding under our Floating Rate Senior Notes due 2022. We have in place seven interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional value of $800.0 million, which effectively convert variable interest payments to fixed interest payments. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact interest payments please see Item 7A. “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018. Interest payments for these variable rate loans are presented using rates (including the impact of interest rate swaps) as of June 30, 2019. |

Non-GAAP Performance Measures
We present the non-GAAP performance measures set forth below. These measures should not be considered as alternatives to, or more meaningful than, net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) or other GAAP financial measures, as an indicator of financial performance and are not alternatives to, or more meaningful than, cash flow from operating activities (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. Non-GAAP performance measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental financial results to those calculated in accordance with GAAP. Our computation of these non-GAAP performance measures may differ in certain respects from the methodology utilized by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by such other REITs. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from these non-GAAP performance measures are relevant to understanding and addressing financial performance.
Funds From Operations
NAREIT FFO (defined hereafter) is a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure utilized to evaluate the operating and financial performance of real estate companies. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines funds from operations (“FFO”) as net income (loss), calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding (i) depreciation and amortization related to real estate, (ii) gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets, (iii) gains and losses from change in control, (iv) impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity and (v) after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.
Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that NAREIT FFO is useful to investors in measuring our operational and financial performance because the definition excludes items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating and financial performance, such as depreciation and amortization related to real estate, and items which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating and financial performance more difficult, such as gains and losses from the sale of certain real estate assets.
Our reconciliation of net income to NAREIT FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):
| Three Months Ended June 30, 2019 | Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 |
| 2019 | 2018 | 2019 | 2018 |
| Net income | $ | 68,960 | $ | 80,362 | $ | 131,860 | $ | 141,384 |
| Depreciation and amortization related to real estate | 80,621 | 90,236 | 165,018 | 179,588 |
| Gain on sale of real estate assets | (13,043 | ) | (28,262 | ) | (20,645 | ) | (39,710 | ) |
| Impairment of real estate assets | 6,186 | 11,927 | 9,298 | 27,829 |
| NAREIT FFO | $ | 142,724 | $ | 154,263 | $ | 285,531 | $ | 309,091 |
| NAREIT FFO per diluted share | $ | 0.48 | $ | 0.51 | $ | 0.96 | $ | 1.02 |
| Weighted average diluted shares outstanding | 298,893 | 302,934 | 298,895 | 303,614 |

Same Property Net Operating Income
Same property net operating income (“NOI”) is a supplemental, non-GAAP performance measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. Same property NOI is calculated (using properties owned for the entirety of both periods and excluding properties under development and completed new development properties which have been stabilized for less than one year) as total property revenues (base rent, expense reimbursements, adjustments for revenues deemed uncollectible, ancillary and other rental income, percentage rents and other revenues) less direct property operating expenses (operating costs, real estate taxes and provision for doubtful accounts). Same property NOI excludes (i) corporate level expenses (including general and administrative), (ii) lease termination fees, (iii) straight-line rental income, net, (iv) accretion of above- and below-market leases and tenant inducements, net, (v) straight-line ground rent expense, and (vi) income (expense) associated with our captive insurance company.
44
Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that same property NOI is useful to investors in measuring the operating performance of our property portfolio because the definition excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to, or are not indicative of, the operating performance of our properties, such as depreciation and amortization and corporate level expenses (including general and administrative), and because it eliminates disparities in NOI due to the acquisition or disposition of properties or the stabilization of completed new development properties during the period presented and therefore provides a more consistent metric for comparing the operating performance of our real estate between periods.

Inflation
For the last several years inflation has been low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, inflation may increase in the future. Most of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation, including contractual rent escalations and requirements for tenants to pay their proportional share of property operating expenses, including common area expenses, utilities, insurance and real estate taxes, and certain capital expenditures related to the maintenance of our properties, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in property-level costs resulting from inflation. In addition, we believe that many of our existing rental rates are below current market levels for comparable space and that upon renewal or re-leasing,
45
such rates may be increased to be consistent with, or closer to, current market rates. With respect to our outstanding indebtedness, we periodically evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, and may continue to enter into interest rate protection agreements which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate loans.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of June 30, 2019.

Question: How much has the average notional amount per interest rate swap instrument changed from 2018 to 2019 in dollars?

Solution:
def solution():
     #Define variables name and value
    num_instruments_2019 = 7
    num_instruments_2018 = 10
    notional_amt_2019 = 800000
    notional_amt_2018 = 1200000

    #Do math calculation to get the answer
    average_notional_amt_per_instrument_2019 = notional_amt_2019 / num_instruments_2019
    average_notional_amt_per_instrument_2018 = notional_amt_2018 / num_instruments_2018
    answer = average_notional_amt_per_instrument_2019 - average_notional_amt_per_instrument_2018
    return answer


Answer: -5714.28571428571
