Forward-Looking Statements
This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations, plans or beliefs concerning future events and may be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “predict” or similar terms. Although the forward-looking statements made in this document are based on our good-faith beliefs, reasonable assumptions and our best judgment based upon current information, certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including: our success or failure in implementing our business strategy; economic conditions generally and in the commercial real estate and finance markets specifically; the cost and availability of capital, which depends in part on our asset quality and our relationships with lenders and other capital providers; our business prospects and outlook; changes in governmental regulations, tax rates and similar matters; our continuing to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”); and other factors discussed elsewhere in this document and our other filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.
PART I
Item 1. Business
The terms “Company,” “we,” “our” or “us” refer to Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P., and/or its subsidiaries, as the context may require.
General
Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust is a fully integrated, self-administered, publicly-traded equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”) organized in Maryland. Our primary business is the ownership and management of large multi-anchored shopping centers primarily in a dozen of the largest metropolitan markets in the United States. We aim to own multiple properties in each of these metropolitan areas to leverage our expertise in these markets and to operate our centers efficiently. Our target submarkets are affluent communities where our centers can offer value, convenience and a sense of place to the residents of the trade area.
Our property portfolio consists of 67 wholly owned shopping centers and one office building comprising approximately 14.2 million square feet. In addition, we are a co-investor in and manager of two institutional joint ventures that own portfolios of shopping centers. We own 20% of Ramco 450 Venture LLC, an entity that owns eight shopping centers comprising approximately 1.7 million square feet, and 30% of Ramco/Lion Venture L.P., an entity that owns three shopping centers comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet. We also have ownership interests in two smaller joint ventures that each own one shopping center. Our joint ventures are reported using equity method accounting. We earn fees from the joint ventures for managing, leasing, and redeveloping the shopping centers they own. In addition, we own various parcels of land available for development or for sale, the majority of which are adjacent to certain of our existing developed properties.
We conduct substantially all of our business through our operating partnership, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), a Delaware limited partnership. The Operating Partnership, either directly or indirectly through partnerships or limited liability companies, holds fee title to all owned properties. As general partner of the Operating Partnership, we have the exclusive power to manage and conduct the business of the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2014, we owned approximately 97.2% of the interests in the Operating Partnership. The limited partners are reflected as noncontrolling interests in our financial statements and are generally individuals or entities that contributed interests in certain assets or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”). The holders of OP units are entitled to exchange them for our common shares on a 1:1 basis or for cash. The form of payment is at our election.
We operate in a manner intended to qualify as a REIT pursuant to the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). Certain of our operations, including property and asset management, as well as ownership of certain land parcels, are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries, (“TRSs”), which are subject to federal and state income taxes.
Business Objectives, Strategies and Significant Transactions
Our business objective is to own and manage high quality shopping centers that generate cash flow for distribution to our shareholders and that have the potential for capital appreciation. To achieve this objective, we seek to acquire, develop, or redevelop shopping centers that meet our investment criteria. We also seek to recycle capital through the sale of land or shopping centers that we deem to be fully valued or that no longer meet our investment criteria. We use debt to finance our activities and focus on managing the amount, structure, and terms of our debt to limit the risks inherent in debt financing. From time to time, we enter into joint venture arrangements where we believe we can benefit by owning a partial interest in shopping centers and by earning fees for managing the centers for our partners.
We invest primarily in large, multi-anchored shopping centers that include national chain store tenants and market dominant supermarket tenants. National chain anchor tenants in our centers include, among others, TJ Maxx/Marshalls, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot and Dick's Sporting Goods. Supermarket anchor tenants in our centers include, among others, Publix Super Market, Whole Foods, Kroger and Sprouts. Our shopping centers are primarily located in metropolitan markets such as Metro Detroit, Southeast Florida, Greater Denver, Cincinnati, St. Louis, Jacksonville, Tampa/Lakeland, Milwaukee, Chicago and Atlanta.
We also own land which is available for development or sale. Approximately 44% of our land is available for sale primarily to retailers or restaurants that prefer to own and develop their sites. The remaining land is available for development. At December 31, 2014, we had one project in pre-development and two projects where Phase I of the development was completed. The remaining future Phases at those projects are in pre-development. We estimate that if we proceed with the development of the projects, up to approximately 600,000 square feet of GLA could be developed, excluding various outparcels of land. It is our policy to start vertical construction on new development projects only after the project has received entitlements, significant anchor commitments and construction financing, if appropriate.
Operating Strategies and Significant Transactions
Our operating objective is to maximize the risk-adjusted return on invested capital at our shopping centers. We seek to do so by increasing the property operating income of our centers, controlling our capital expenditures, and monitoring our tenants’ credit risk.
During 2014, for the combined portfolio including wholly-owned and joint venture properties, we reported the following leasing activity:

(1) Non-comparable lease transactions include leases for space vacant for greater than 12 months, leases for space which has been combined from smaller spaces or demised from larger spaces, and leases structured differently from the prior lease. As a result, there is no prior rent per square foot to compare to the base rent per square foot of the new lease.
At December 31, 2014, we had seven redevelopment or expansion projects in process with an anticipated cost of $51.1 million, of which $33.9 million remains to be invested. Completion dates are anticipated from early 2015 to mid 2016.
Investing Strategies and Significant Transactions
Our investing objective is to generate an attractive risk-adjusted return on capital invested in acquisitions and developments. In addition, we seek to sell land or shopping centers that we deem to be fully valued or that no longer meet our investment criteria. We underwrite acquisitions based upon current cash flow, projections of future cash flow, and scenario analyses that take into account the risks and opportunities of ownership. We underwrite development of new shopping centers on the same basis, but also take into account the unique risks of entitling land, constructing buildings, and leasing newly built space.
In 2014, we completed construction of Phase I of Lakeland Park Center, a ground up development located in Lakeland, Florida, at a cost of approximately $33.4 million, excluding land cost. Phase I consists of approximately 210,000 square feet of retail space. The center was 98% leased and occupied as of December 31, 2014.
During 2014, we completed $323.1 million in wholly-owned acquisitions as follows:

Financing Strategies and Significant Transactions
Our financing objective is to maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet in order to ensure access to capital at a competitive cost. In general, we seek to increase our financial flexibility by increasing our pool of unencumbered properties and borrowing on an unsecured basis. In keeping with our objective, we routinely benchmark our balance sheet on a variety of measures to our peers in the shopping center sector and to REITs in general.
During 2014, we continued to strengthen our capital structure by completing one underwritten public offering of newly issued common shares and various debt transactions.
Specifically, we completed the following financing transactions:
Debt
| |
• | $100.0 million private placement of senior unsecured notes consisting of $50.0 million of notes with a ten-year term with a fixed interest rate of 4.65% and $50.0 million of notes with a twelve-year term at a fixed interest rate of 4.74%. A "shelf" facility allows for an additional $50.0 million in notes to the same purchaser within the next three years, subject to approval, pricing and documentation; |
| |
• | $75.0 million senior unsecured term loan with an additional $75.0 million accordion feature. The loan has a seven-year term and bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.25% to 2.25% (initially 1.70%) depending upon our leverage or credit rating. The interest expense is hedged with an existing interest rate swap expiring in April 2016, resulting in an effective fixed initial annual rate of 2.9%; and |
| |
• | $100.0 million private placement of senior unsecured notes consisting of $50.0 million of notes with a ten-year term priced at a fixed interest rate of 4.16% and $50.0 million of notes with a twelve-year term priced at a fixed interest rate of 4.30%. |
Gross proceeds from these financings was used in part to repay the following:
| |
• | $45.0 million of variable-rate bank term debt due 2017; |
| |
• | $75.0 million of bank term debt also due in 2017; |
| |
• | $45.0 million balance on our unsecured revolving line of credit; |
| |
• | Mortgages securing two properties in the total amount of $29.8 million both with an interest rate of 5.4%. |
In addition, in conjunction with our acquisition of Bridgewater Falls, we assumed a mortgage loan with a $58.6 million principal balance outstanding and an interest rate of 5.7%. We recorded a premium of approximately $6.8 million based upon the fair value of the loan on the date it was assumed.
Equity
| |
• | Completed one underwritten public offering issuing a total of 6.9 million common shares of beneficial interest. Our total net proceeds, after deducting expenses, were approximately $108.7 million; and |
| |
• | Issued 3.8 million common shares through controlled equity offerings, at an average share price of $16.50, and received approximately $61.7 million in net proceeds. |
The proceeds from the equity transactions were used to fund a portion of the consideration for the acquisitions during the year, pay down debt, as well as for general corporate purposes.
As of December 31, 2014 we had net debt to total market capitalization of 35.7% as compared to 38.3%, at December 31, 2013. At December 31, 2014 and 2013 we had $335.9 million and $204.8 million, respectively, available to draw under our unsecured revolving line of credit.
Competition
See page 6 of Item 1A. “Risk Factors” for a description of competitive conditions in our business.
Environmental Matters
See page 12 of Item 1A. "Risk Factors" for a description of environmental risks for our business.
Employment
As of December 31, 2014, we had 116 full-time employees. None of our employees is represented by a collective bargaining unit. We believe that our relations with our employees are good.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
You should carefully consider each of the risks and uncertainties described below and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as any amendments or updates reflected in subsequent filings with the SEC. We believe these risks and uncertainties, individually or in the aggregate, could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected and historical results and could materially and adversely affect our business operations, results of operations and financial condition. Further, additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we currently deem immaterial may also impair our results and business operations.
Operating Risks
National economic conditions and retail sales trends may adversely affect the performance of our properties.
Demand to lease space in our shopping centers generally fluctuates with the overall economy. Economic downturns often result in a lower rate of retail sales growth, or even declines in retail sales. In response, retailers that lease space in shopping centers typically reduce their demand for retail space during such downturns. As a result, economic downturns and unfavorable retail sales trends may diminish the income, cash flow, and value of our properties.
Our concentration of properties in Michigan and Florida makes us more susceptible to adverse market conditions in these states.
Our performance depends on the economic conditions in the markets in which we operate. In 2014, our wholly-owned and pro rata share of joint venture properties located in Michigan and Florida accounted for approximately 29%, and 23%, respectively, of our annualized base rent. In 2013 Michigan and Florida accounted for approximately 35% and 25%, respectively. To the extent that market conditions in these or other states in which we operate deteriorate, the performance or value of our properties may be adversely affected.
Changes in the supply and demand for the type of space we lease to our tenants could affect the income, cash flow, and value of our properties.
Our shopping centers generally compete for tenants with similar properties located in the same neighborhood, community, or region. Although we believe we own high quality centers, competing centers may be newer, better located, or have a better tenant mix. In addition, new centers or retail stores may be developed, increasing the supply of retail space competing with our centers or taking retail sales from our tenants. Our tenants also compete with alternate forms of retailing, including on-line shopping, home shopping networks, and mail order catalogs. Alternate forms of retailing may reduce the demand for space in our shopping centers.
As a result, we may not be able to renew leases or attract replacement tenants as leases expire. When we do renew tenants or attract replacement tenants, the terms of renewals or new leases may be less favorable to us than current lease terms. In order to lease our vacancies, we often incur costs to reconfigure or modernize our properties to suit the needs of a particular tenant. Under competitive circumstances, such costs may exceed our budgets. If we are unable to lease vacant space promptly, if the rental rates upon a renewal or new lease are lower than expected, or if the costs incurred to lease space exceed our expectations, then the income and cash flow of our properties will decrease.
Our reliance on key tenants for significant portions of our revenues exposes us to increased risk of tenant bankruptcies that could adversely affect our income and cash flow.
As of December 31, 2014, we received 38.7% of our combined annualized base rents from our top 25 tenants, including our top three tenants: TJ Maxx/Marshalls (4.5%), LA Fitness (2.6%) and Bed Bath & Beyond (2.5%). No other tenant represented more than 2.0% of our total annualized base rent. The credit risk posed by our major tenants varies.
If any of our major tenants experiences financial difficulties or files for bankruptcy protection, our operating results could be adversely affected. Bankruptcy filings by our tenants or lease guarantors generally delay our efforts to collect pre-bankruptcy receivables and could ultimately preclude full collection of these sums. If a tenant rejects a lease, we would have only a general unsecured claim for damages, which may be collectible only to the extent that funds are available and only in the same percentage as is paid to all other holders of unsecured claims. In 2014, no key tenant of ours filed for bankruptcy protection.
Our properties generally rely on anchor tenants to attract customers. The loss of anchor tenants may adversely impact the performance of our properties.
If any of our anchor tenants becomes insolvent, suffers a downturn in business, abandons occupancy, or decides not to renew its lease, such event may adversely impact the performance of the affected center. An abandonment or lease termination by an anchor tenant may give other tenants in the same shopping center the right to terminate their leases or pay less rent pursuant to the terms of their leases. Our leases with anchor tenants may, in certain circumstances, permit them to transfer their leases to other retailers. The transfer to a new anchor tenant could result in lower customer traffic to the center, which could affect our other tenants. In addition, a transfer of a lease to a new anchor tenant could give other tenants the right to make reduced rental payments or to terminate their leases.
We may be restricted from leasing vacant space based on existing exclusivity lease provisions with some of our tenants.
In a number of cases, our leases give a tenant the exclusive right to sell clearly identified types of merchandise or provide specific types of services at a particular shopping center. In other cases, leases with a tenant may limit the ability of other tenants to sell similar merchandise or provide similar services to that tenant. When leasing a vacant space, these restrictions may limit the number and types of prospective tenants suitable for that space. If we are unable to lease space on satisfactory terms, our operating results would be adversely impacted.
Increases in operating expenses could adversely affect our operating results.
Our operating expenses include, among other items, property taxes, insurance, utilities, repairs, and the maintenance of the common areas of our shopping centers. We may experience increases in our operating expenses, some or all of which may be out of our control. Most of our leases require that tenants pay for a share of property taxes, insurance and common area maintenance costs. However, if any property is not fully occupied or if recovery income from tenants is not sufficient to cover operating expenses, then we could be required to expend our own funds for operating expenses. In addition, we may be unable to renew leases or negotiate new leases with terms requiring our tenants to pay all the property tax, insurance, and common area maintenance costs that tenants currently pay, which could adversely affect our operating results.
If we suffer losses that are uninsured or in excess of our insurance coverage limits, we could lose invested capital and anticipated profits.
Catastrophic losses, such as losses resulting from wars, acts of terrorism, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, and tornadoes or other natural disasters, pollution or environmental matters, generally are either uninsurable or not economically insurable, or may be subject to insurance coverage limitations, such as large deductibles or co-payments. Although we currently maintain “all risk” replacement cost insurance for our buildings, rents and personal property, commercial general liability insurance, and pollution and environmental liability insurance, our insurance coverage may be inadequate if any of the events described above occurs to, or causes the destruction of, one or more of our properties. Under that scenario, we could lose both our invested capital and anticipated profits from that property.
Our real estate assets may be subject to additional impairment provisions based on market and economic conditions.
On a periodic basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our real estate properties and other investments may be impaired. Under generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) a property’s value is impaired only if the estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property is less than the carrying value of the property. In our estimate of cash flows, we consider factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, the effects of demand, competition and other factors. We are required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of our real estate properties and other investments.
No assurance can be given that we will be able to recover the current carrying amount of all of our properties and those of our unconsolidated joint ventures. There can be no assurance that we will not take charges in the future related to the impairment of our assets. Any future impairment could have a material adverse effect on our results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken. We recorded an impairment provision of $27.9 million in 2014 related to our real estate properties. Refer to Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information regarding impairment provisions.
We do not control all decisions related to the activities of joint ventures in which we are invested, and we may have conflicts of interest with our joint venture partners.
As of December 31, 2014, we had interests in four unconsolidated joint ventures that collectively own 13 shopping centers. Although we manage the properties owned by these joint ventures, we do not control the decisions for the joint ventures. Accordingly, we may not be able to resolve in our favor any issues which arise, or we may have to provide financial or other inducements to our joint venture partners to obtain such favorable resolution.
Various restrictive provisions and rights govern sales or transfers of interests in our joint ventures. We may be required to make decisions as to the purchase or sale of interests in our joint ventures at a time that is disadvantageous to us. In addition, a bankruptcy filing of one of our joint venture partners could adversely affect us because we may make commitments that rely on our partners to fund capital from time to time. The profitability of shopping centers held in a joint venture could also be adversely affected by the bankruptcy of one of our joint venture partners if, because of certain provisions of the bankruptcy laws, we were unable to make important decisions in a timely fashion or became subject to additional liabilities.
We may invest in additional joint ventures, the terms of which may differ from our existing joint ventures. In general, we would expect to share the rights and obligations to make major decisions regarding the venture with our partners, which would expose us to the risks identified above.
Our equity investment in each of our unconsolidated joint ventures is subject to impairment testing in the event of certain triggering events, such as a change in market conditions or events at properties held by those joint ventures. If the fair value of our equity investment is less than our net book value on an other than temporary basis, an impairment charge is required to be recognized under generally accepted accounting principles. Refer to Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Market and economic conditions may impact our partners’ ability to perform in accordance with our real estate joint venture and partnership agreements resulting in a change in control.
Changes in control of our investments could result from events such as amendments to our real estate joint venture and partnership agreements, changes in debt guarantees or changes in ownership due to required capital contributions. Any changes in control will result in the revaluation of our investments to fair value, which could lead to impairment. We are unable to predict whether, or to what extent, a change in control may occur or what the impact of adverse market and economic conditions might be to our partners.
Our redevelopment projects may not yield anticipated returns, which would adversely affect our operating results.
Our redevelopment activities generally call for a capital commitment and project scope greater than that required to lease vacant space. To the extent a significant amount of construction is required, we are susceptible to risks such as permitting, cost overruns and timing delays as a result of the lack of availability of materials and labor, the failure of tenants to commit or fulfill their commitments, weather conditions, and other factors outside of our control. Any substantial unanticipated delays or expenses could adversely affect the investment returns from these redevelopment projects and adversely impact our operating results.
Investing Risks
We face competition for the acquisition and development of real estate properties, which may impede our ability to grow our operations or may increase the cost of these activities.
We compete with many other entities for the acquisition of shopping centers and land suitable for new developments, including other REITs, private institutional investors and other owner-operators of shopping centers. In particular, larger REITs may enjoy competitive advantages that result from, among other things, a lower cost of capital. These competitors may increase the market prices we would have to pay in order to acquire properties. If we are unable to acquire properties that meet our criteria at prices we deem reasonable, our ability to grow may be adversely affected.
Commercial real estate investments are relatively illiquid, which could hamper our ability to dispose of properties that no longer meet our investment criteria or respond to adverse changes in the performance of our properties.
Because real estate investments are relatively illiquid, our ability to promptly sell one or more properties in our portfolio in response to changing economic, financial and investment conditions is limited. The real estate market is affected by many factors, such as general economic conditions, supply and demand, availability of financing, interest rates and other factors that are beyond our
control. We cannot be certain that we will be able to sell any property for the price and other terms we seek, or that any price or other terms offered by a prospective purchaser would be acceptable to us. We also cannot estimate with certainty the length of time needed to find a willing purchaser and to complete the sale of a property. We may be required to expend funds to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold. Factors that impede our ability to dispose of properties could adversely affect our financial condition and operating results.
We are seeking to develop new properties, an activity that has inherent risks including cost overruns related to entitling land, improving the site, constructing buildings, and leasing new space.
We are seeking to develop and construct retail properties at several land parcels we own. Our development and construction activities are subject to the following risks:
| |
• | The pre-construction phase for a development project typically extends over several years, and the time to obtain anchor commitments, zoning and regulatory approvals, and financing can vary significantly from project to project; |
| |
• | We may not be able to obtain the necessary zoning or other governmental approvals for a project, or we may determine that the expected return on a project is not sufficient. If we abandon our development activities with respect to a particular project, we may incur an impairment loss on our investment; |
| |
• | Construction and other project costs may exceed our original estimates because of increases in material and labor costs, delays and costs to obtain anchor and other tenant commitments; |
| |
• | We may not be able to obtain financing for construction; |
| |
• | Occupancy rates and rents at a completed project may not meet our projections; and |
| |
• | The time frame required for development, construction and lease-up of these properties means that we may have to wait years for a significant cash return. |
If any of these events occur, our development activities may have an adverse effect on our results of operations, including additional impairment provisions. For a detailed discussion of development projects, refer to Notes 3 and 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Financing Risks
We have no corporate debt limitations.
Our management and Board of Trustees (“Board”) have discretion to increase the amount of our outstanding debt at any time. Subject to existing financial covenants, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service costs that could adversely affect our cash flow and the amount available for distribution to our shareholders. If we increase our debt, we may also increase the risk of default on our debt.
Our debt must be refinanced upon maturity, which makes us reliant on the capital markets on an ongoing basis.
We are not structured in a manner to generate and retain sufficient cash flow from operations to repay our debt at maturity. Instead, we expect to refinance our debt by raising equity, debt, or other capital prior to the time that it matures. As of December 31, 2014, we had $923.5 million of outstanding indebtedness, including $1.8 million of capital lease obligations. Of this, $86.9 million matures in 2015. In addition, our joint ventures had $170.2 million of outstanding indebtedness, of which our share is $37.0 million. $41.9 million of joint venture debt matures in 2015, of which our share is $11.4 million. The availability and price of capital can vary significantly. If we seek to refinance maturing debt when capital market conditions are restrictive, we may find capital scarce, costly, or unavailable. Refinancing debt at a higher cost would affect our operating results and cash available for distribution. The failure to refinance our debt at maturity would result in default and the exercise by our lenders of the remedies available to them, including foreclosure and, in the case of recourse debt, liability for unpaid amounts.
Increases in interest rates may affect the cost of our variable-rate borrowings, our ability to refinance maturing debt, and the cost of any such refinancings.
As of December 31, 2014, we had seven interest rate swap agreements in effect for an aggregate notional amount of $210.0 million converting our floating rate corporate debt to fixed rate debt. After accounting for these interest rate swap agreements, we had $38.1 million of variable rate debt outstanding. Increases in interest rates on our existing indebtedness would increase our interest
expense, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to distribute cash to our shareholders. For example, if market rates of interest on our variable rate debt outstanding as of December 31, 2014 increased by 1.0%, the increase in interest expense on our existing variable rate debt would decrease future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.4 million annually. Interest rate increases could also constrain our ability to refinance maturing debt because lenders may reduce their advance rates in order to maintain debt service coverage ratios.
Our mortgage debt exposes us to the risk of loss of property, which could adversely affect our financial condition.
As of December 31, 2014, we had $354.7 million of mortgage debt encumbering our properties. A default on any of our mortgage debt may result in foreclosure actions by lenders and ultimately our loss of the mortgaged property. We have entered into mortgage loans which are secured by multiple properties and contain cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions. Cross-collateralization provisions allow a lender to foreclose on multiple properties in the event that we default under the loan. Cross-default provisions allow a lender to foreclose on the related property in the event a default is declared under another loan. For federal income tax purposes, a foreclosure of any of our properties would be treated as a sale of the property for a purchase price equal to the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage. If the outstanding balance of the debt secured by the mortgage exceeds our tax basis in the property, we would recognize taxable income on foreclosure but would not receive any cash proceeds.
Financial covenants may restrict our operating, investing, or financing activities, which may adversely impact our financial condition and operating results.
The financial covenants contained in our mortgages and debt agreements reduce our flexibility in conducting our operations and create a risk of default on our debt if we cannot continue to satisfy them. The mortgages on our properties contain customary negative covenants such as those that limit our ability, without the prior consent of the lender, to further mortgage the applicable property or to discontinue insurance coverage. In addition, if we breach covenants in our debt agreements, the lender can declare a default and require us to repay the debt immediately and, if the debt is secured, can ultimately take possession of the property securing the loan.
Our outstanding line of credit contains customary restrictions, requirements and other limitations on our ability to incur indebtedness, including limitations on the maximum ratio of total liabilities to assets, the minimum fixed charge coverage, and the minimum tangible net worth ratio. Our ability to borrow under our line of credit is subject to compliance with these financial and other covenants. We rely on our ability to borrow under our line of credit to finance acquisition, development, and redevelopment activities and for working capital. If we are unable to borrow under our line of credit, our financial condition and results of operations would likely be adversely impacted.
Because we must distribute a substantial portion of our income annually in order to maintain our REIT status, we may not retain sufficient cash from operations to fund our investing needs.
As a REIT, we are subject to annual distribution requirements under the Code. In general, we must distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income annually, excluding net capital gains, to our shareholders to maintain our REIT status. We intend to make distributions to our shareholders to comply with the requirements of the Code.
Differences in timing between the recognition of taxable income and the actual receipt of cash could require us to sell assets or borrow funds on a short-term or long-term basis to meet the 90% distribution requirement. In addition, the distribution requirement reduces the amount of cash we retain for use in funding our capital requirements and our growth. As a result, we have historically funded our acquisition, development and redevelopment activities by any of the following: selling assets that no longer meet our investment criteria; selling common shares and preferred shares; borrowing from financial institutions; and entering into joint venture transactions with third parties. Our failure to obtain funds from these sources could limit our ability to grow, which could have a material adverse effect on the value of our securities.
There may be future dilution of our common shares
Our Declaration of Trust authorizes our Board to, among other things, issue additional common or preferred shares, or securities convertible or exchangeable into equity securities, without shareholder approval. We may issue such additional equity or convertible securities to raise additional capital. The issuance of any additional common or preferred shares or convertible securities could be dilutive to holders of our common shares. Moreover, to the extent that we issue restricted shares, options or warrants to purchase our common shares in the future and those options or warrants are exercised or the restricted shares vest, our shareholders may experience further dilution. Holders of our common shares have no preemptive rights that entitle them to purchase a pro rata share of any offering of shares of any class or series and, therefore, such sales or offerings could result in increased dilution to our shareholders.
We may issue debt and equity securities or securities convertible into equity securities, any of which may be senior to our common shares as to distributions and in liquidation, which could negatively affect the value of our common shares.
During 2014 we completed one underwritten public offering of 6.9 million common shares and issued 3.8 million common shares through controlled equity offerings. In addition, there were 365,524 shares of unvested restricted common shares and options to purchase 155,248 common shares outstanding at December 31, 2014.
Corporate Risks
The price of our common shares may fluctuate significantly.
The market price of our common shares fluctuates based upon numerous factors, many of which are outside of our control. A decline in our share price, whether related to our operating results or not, may constrain our ability to raise equity in pursuit of our business objectives. In addition, a decline in price may affect the perceptions of lenders, tenants, or others with whom we transact. Such parties may withdraw from doing business with us as a result. An inability to raise capital at a suitable cost or at any cost, or to do business with certain tenants or other parties, could affect our operations and financial condition.
Our failure to qualify as a REIT would result in higher taxes and reduced cash available for distribution to our shareholders.
We intend to operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Our continued qualification as a REIT will depend on our satisfaction of certain asset, income, investment, organizational, distribution, shareholder ownership and other requirements on a continuing basis. Our ability to satisfy the asset requirements depends upon our analysis of the fair market values of our assets, some of which are not susceptible to a precise determination, and for which we will not obtain independent appraisals. In addition, our compliance with the REIT income and asset requirements depends upon our ability to manage successfully the composition of our income and assets on an ongoing basis. Moreover, the proper classification of an instrument as debt or equity for federal income tax purposes may be uncertain in some circumstances, which could affect the application of the REIT qualification requirements. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will not contend that our interests in subsidiaries or other issuers constitute a violation of the REIT requirements. Moreover, future economic, market, legal, tax or other considerations may cause us to fail to qualify as a REIT.
If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at regular corporate rates, and distributions to shareholders would not be deductible by us in computing our taxable income. Any such corporate tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to our shareholders, which in turn could have an adverse impact on the value of, and trading prices for, our common shares. Unless entitled to relief under certain Code provisions, we also would be disqualified from taxation as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we ceased to qualify as a REIT.
Even as a REIT, we may be subject to various federal income and excise taxes, as well as state and local taxes.
Even as a REIT, we may be subject to federal income and excise taxes in various situations, such as if we fail to distribute all of our REIT taxable income. We also will be required to pay a 100% tax on non-arm’s length transactions between us and our TRSs and on any net income from sales of property that the IRS successfully asserts was property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Additionally, we may be subject to state or local taxation in various state or local jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business. The state and local tax laws may not conform to the federal income tax treatment. Any taxes imposed on us would reduce our operating cash flow and net income.
The rules dealing with federal income taxation are constantly under review by persons involved in the legislative process and by the IRS and the United States Treasury Department. Changes to tax laws, which may have retroactive application, could adversely affect our shareholders or us. We cannot predict how changes in tax laws might affect our shareholders or us.
We are party to litigation in the ordinary course of business, and an unfavorable court ruling could have a negative effect on us.
We are the defendant in a number of claims brought by various parties against us. Although we intend to exercise due care and consideration in all aspects of our business, it is possible additional claims could be made against us. We maintain insurance coverage including general liability coverage to help protect us in the event a claim is awarded; however, some claims may be uninsured. In the event that claims against us are successful and uninsured or underinsured, or we elect to settle claims that we determine are in our interest to settle, our operating results and cash flow could be adversely impacted. In addition, an increase in claims and/or payments could result in higher insurance premiums, which could also adversely affect our operating results and cash flow.
We are subject to various environmental laws and regulations which govern our operations and which may result in potential liability.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, a current or previous owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances disposed, stored, released, generated, manufactured or discharged from, on, at, onto, under or in such property. Environmental laws often impose such liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence or release of such hazardous or toxic substance. The presence of such substances, or the failure to properly remediate such substances when present, released or discharged, may adversely affect the owner’s ability to sell or rent such property or to borrow using such property as collateral. The cost of any required remediation and the liability of the owner or operator therefore as to any property is generally not limited under such environmental laws and could exceed the value of the property and/or the aggregate assets of the owner or operator. Persons who arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances may also be liable for the cost of removal or remediation of such substances at a disposal or treatment facility, whether or not such facility is owned or operated by such persons. In addition to any action required by federal, state or local authorities, the presence or release of hazardous or toxic substances on or from any property could result in private plaintiffs bringing claims for personal injury or other causes of action.
In connection with ownership (direct or indirect), operation, management and development of real properties, we have the potential to be liable for remediation, releases or injury. In addition, environmental laws impose on owners or operators the requirement of ongoing compliance with rules and regulations regarding business-related activities that may affect the environment. Such activities include, for example, the ownership or use of transformers or underground tanks, the treatment or discharge of waste waters or other materials, the removal or abatement of asbestos-containing materials (“ACMs”) or lead-containing paint during renovations or otherwise, or notification to various parties concerning the potential presence of regulated matters, including ACMs. Failure to comply with such requirements could result in difficulty in the lease or sale of any affected property and/or the imposition of monetary penalties, fines or other sanctions in addition to the costs required to attain compliance. Several of our properties have or may contain ACMs or underground storage tanks; however, we are not aware of any potential environmental liability which could reasonably be expected to have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. No assurance can be given that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental requirement or liability, or that a material adverse environmental condition does not otherwise exist.
Our business and operations would suffer in the event of system failures or cyber security attacks.
Despite the implementation of security measures and the existence of a Disaster Recovery Plan for our internal information technology systems, our systems are vulnerable to damages from any number of sources, including energy blackouts, natural disasters, terrorism, war, telecommunication failures and cyber security attacks, such as computer viruses or unauthorized access. Any system failure or accident that causes interruptions in our operations could result in a material disruption to our business. We may also incur additional costs to remedy damages caused by such disruptions. Any compromise of our security could also result in a violation of applicable privacy and other laws, significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation, loss or misuse of the information and a loss of confidence in our security measures, which could harm our business.
Restrictions on the ownership of our common shares are in place to preserve our REIT status.
Our Declaration of Trust restricts ownership by any one shareholder to no more than 9.8% of our outstanding common shares, subject to certain exceptions granted by our Board. The ownership limit is intended to ensure that we maintain our REIT status given that the Code imposes certain limitations on the ownership of the stock of a REIT. Not more than 50% in value of our outstanding shares of beneficial interest may be owned, directly or indirectly by five or fewer individuals (as defined in the Code) during the last half of any taxable year. If an individual or entity were found to own constructively more than 9.8% in value of our outstanding shares, then any excess shares would be transferred by operation of our Declaration of Trust to a charitable trust,
which would sell such shares for the benefit of the shareholder in accordance with procedures specified in our Declaration of Trust.
The ownership limit may discourage a change in control, may discourage tender offers for our common shares, and may limit the opportunities for our shareholders to receive a premium for their shares. Upon due consideration, our Board previously has granted limited exceptions to this restriction for certain shareholders who requested an increase in their ownership limit. However, the Board has no obligation to grant such limited exceptions in the future.
Certain anti-takeover provisions of our Declaration of Trust and Bylaws may inhibit a change of our control.
Certain provisions contained in our Declaration of Trust and Bylaws and the Maryland General Corporation Law, as applicable to Maryland REITs, may discourage a third party from making a tender offer or acquisition proposal to us. These provisions and actions may delay, deter or prevent a change in control or the removal of existing management. These provisions and actions also may delay or prevent the shareholders from receiving a premium for their common shares of beneficial interest over then-prevailing market prices.
These provisions and actions include:
| |
• | the REIT ownership limit described above; |
| |
• | authorization of the issuance of our preferred shares of beneficial interest with powers, preferences or rights to be determined by our Board; |
| |
• | special meetings of our shareholders may be called only by the chairman of our Board, the president, one-third of the Trustees, or the secretary upon the written request of the holders of shares entitled to cast not less than a majority of all the votes entitled to be cast at such meeting; |
| |
• | a two-thirds shareholder vote is required to approve some amendments to our Declaration of Trust; |
| |
• | our Bylaws contain advance-notice requirements for proposals to be presented at shareholder meetings; and |
| |
• | our Board, without the approval of our shareholders, may from time to time (i) amend our Declaration of Trust to increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of beneficial interest, or the number of shares of beneficial interest of any class, that we have authority to issue, and (ii) reclassify any unissued shares of beneficial interest into one or more classes or series of shares of beneficial interest. |
In addition, the Trust, by Board action, may elect to be subject to certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law that inhibit takeovers such as the provision that permits the Board by way of resolution to classify itself, notwithstanding any provision our Declaration of Trust or Bylaws.
Certain officers and trustees may have potential conflicts of interests with respect to properties contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units.
Certain of our officers and members of our Board of Trustees own OP Units obtained in exchange for contributions of their partnership interests in properties to the Operating Partnership. By virtue of this exchange, these individuals may have been able to defer some, if not all, of the income tax liability they could have incurred if they sold the properties for cash. As a result, these individuals may have potential conflicts of interest with respect to these properties, such as sales or refinancings that might result in federal income tax consequences.

Footnotes
(1) Average base rent per leased SF is calculated based on annual minimum contractual base rent pursuant to the tenant lease,
excluding percentage rent, recovery income from tenants, and is net of tenant concessions. Percentage rent and recovery
income from tenants is presented separately in our consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss) statement.
(2) Anchor tenants is defined as any tenant leasing 10,000 square feet or more. Tenants in parenthesis represent non-company owned GLA.
(3) We define Core Portfolio as stabilized assets that are not currently under development/redevelopment.
(4) Tenant closed - lease obligated.
(5) Space delivered to tenant.
(6) Represents 1.5% of combined portfolio annual base rent.
Our leases for tenant space under 10,000 square feet generally have terms ranging from three to five years. Tenant leases greater than or equal to 10,000 square feet generally have lease terms of five years or longer, and are considered anchor leases. Many of the anchor leases contain provisions allowing the tenant the option of extending the lease term at expiration at contracted rental rates that often include fixed rent increases, consumer price index adjustments or other market rate adjustments from the prior base rent. The majority of our leases provide for monthly payment of base rent in advance, percentage rent based on the tenant’s sales volume, reimbursement of the tenant’s allocable real estate taxes, insurance and common area maintenance (“CAM”) expenses and reimbursement for utility costs if not directly metered.

Land Available for Development and/or Sale
At December 31, 2014, we had one project in pre-development and two projects where Phase I of the development was completed. The remaining future Phases at those projects are in pre-development. We also have various additional parcels of land available for development or sale. It is our policy to start vertical construction on new development projects only after the project has received entitlements, significant anchor leasing commitments and an identified source of construction financing.
During 2014 we completed construction of Phase I of Lakeland Park Center, a ground up development located in Lakeland, Florida, at a cost of approximately $33.4 million, excluding land cost. Phase I consists of approximately 210,000 square feet of retail space. The center was 98% leased and occupied as of December 31, 2014.
Our development and construction activities are subject to risks such as inability to obtain the necessary zoning or other governmental approvals for a project, determination that the expected return on a project is not sufficient to warrant continuation of the planned development or change in plan or scope for the development. If any of these events occur, we may record an impairment provision.
During the fourth quarter of 2014, we recorded an impairment provision of $23.3 million primarily due to changes in our plans for certain parcels. We recorded impairment provisions of $0.3 million and $1.4 million in 2013 and 2012, respectively, related to developable land that we decided to market for sale. For a detailed discussion of our development projects, refer to Notes 3 and 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Insurance
Our tenants are generally responsible under their leases for providing adequate insurance on the spaces they lease. We believe that our properties are adequately covered by commercial general liability, fire, flood, terrorism, environmental, and where necessary, hurricane and windstorm insurance coverages, which are all provided by reputable companies, with commercially reasonable exclusions, deductibles and limits.
Item 3. Legal Proceedings
We are currently involved in certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.

Holders
The number of holders of record of our common shares was 1,341 at February 13, 2015. A substantially greater number of holders are beneficial owners whose shares of record are held by banks, brokers and other financial institutions.
Dividends
Under the Code, a REIT must meet requirements, including a requirement that it distribute to its shareholders at least 90% of its REIT taxable income annually, excluding net capital gain. Distributions paid by us are at the discretion of our Board and depend on our actual net income available to common shareholders, cash flow, financial condition, capital requirements, the annual distribution requirements under REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as the Board deems relevant.
Distributions on our 7.25% Series D Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preferred Shares declared in 2014 totaled $3.625 per share. We do not believe that the preferential rights available to the holders of our preferred shares or the financial covenants contained in our debt agreements had or will have an adverse effect on our ability to pay dividends in the normal course of business to our common shareholders or to distribute amounts necessary to maintain our qualification as a REIT.
For information on our equity compensation plans as of December 31, 2014, refer to Item 12 of Part III of this report and Note 16 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Item 6. Selected Financial Data

(1) Property net operating income is a non-GAAP measure that is used internally to evaluate the performance of property operations and we consider it to be a significant measure. Property net operating income should not be considered an alternative measure of operating results or cash flow from operations as determined in accordance with GAAP. |
(2) Under the NAREIT definition, FFO represents net income available to common shareholders, excluding extraordinary items, as defined under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), gains (losses) on sales of depreciable property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of financing costs), and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. In addition, in October 2011, NAREIT clarified its definition of FFO to exclude impairment provisions on depreciable property and equity investments in depreciable property. Management has restated FFO for prior periods accordingly. See “Funds From Operations” in Item 7 for a discussion of FFO and a reconciliation of FFO to net income. |
Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements, the notes thereto, and the comparative summary of selected financial data appearing elsewhere in this report. Discontinued operations are discussed in Note 5 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements in Item 8. The financial information in this MD&A is based on results from continuing operations.
Overview
We are a fully integrated, self-administered, publicly-traded REIT specializing in the ownership, management, development and redevelopment of community shopping centers. Most of our properties are multi-anchored by supermarkets and/or national chain stores. Our primary business is managing and leasing space to tenants in the shopping centers we own. We also manage centers for our unconsolidated joint ventures for which we charge fees. Our credit risk, therefore, is concentrated in the retail industry.
At December 31, 2014, we owned and managed, either directly or through our interest in real estate joint ventures, a total of 80 shopping centers and one office building, with approximately 16.9 million square feet of gross leasable area owned by us and our joint ventures. We also owned interests in three parcels of land available for development and five parcels of land available for sale.
We are predominantly a community shopping center company with a focus on managing and adding value to our portfolio of centers that are primarily multi-anchored by grocery stores and/or nationally recognized discount department stores. We believe that centers with a grocery and/or discount component attract consumers seeking value-priced products. Since these products are required to satisfy everyday needs, customers usually visit the centers on a weekly basis. Over half of our shopping centers are anchored by tenants that sell groceries. Supermarket anchor tenants in our centers include, among others, Publix Super Market, Whole Foods, Kroger and Sprouts. National chain anchor tenants in our centers include, among others, TJ Maxx/Marshalls, Bed Bath and Beyond, Home Depot and Kohl’s.
Our shopping centers are primarily located in a dozen of the largest metropolitan markets in the United States. Our focus on these markets has enabled us to develop a thorough understanding of their unique characteristics. Throughout our primary regions, we have concentrated a number of centers in reasonable proximity to each other in order to achieve efficiencies in management, leasing and acquiring new properties.
Critical Accounting Policies
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations are based on our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Our estimates are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results could differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
We believe the following critical accounting policies require our most subjective judgment and use of estimates in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
Acquisitions
Acquisitions of properties are accounted for utilizing the acquisition method and, accordingly, the results of operations of an acquired property are included in our results of operations from the date of acquisition. Estimates of fair values are based upon future cash flows and other valuation techniques in accordance with our fair value measurements policy, which are used to record the purchase price of acquired property among land, buildings on an “as if vacant” basis, tenant improvements, identifiable intangibles and any gain on purchase. Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities include the effect of above-and below-market leases, the value of having leases in place (“as-is” versus “as if vacant” and absorption costs), other intangible assets such as assumed tax increment revenue bonds and out-of-market assumed mortgages. Depreciation and amortization is computed using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of 40 years for buildings, over the remaining terms of any intangible asset contracts and the respective tenant leases, which may include bargain review options. The impact of these estimates, including incorrect estimates in connection with acquisition values and estimated useful lives, could result in significant differences related to the purchased assets, liabilities and subsequent depreciation or amortization expense. For more information, refer to Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies subtopic Real Estate of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.
Impairment
We review our investment in real estate, including any related intangible assets, for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the property may not be recoverable. These changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in occupancy, rental rates, tenant sales, net operating income, geographic location, real estate values and expected holding period. The viability of all projects under construction or development, including those owned by unconsolidated joint ventures, are regularly evaluated under applicable accounting requirements, including requirements relating to abandonment of assets or changes in use. To the extent a project, or individual components of the project, are no longer considered to have value, the related capitalized costs are charged against operations.
Impairment provisions resulting from any event or change in circumstances, including changes in our intentions or our analysis of varying scenarios, could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
We recognize an impairment of an investment in real estate when the estimated discounted or undiscounted cash flow is less than the net carrying value of the property. If it is determined that an investment in real estate is impaired, then the carrying value is reduced to the estimated fair value as determined by cash flow models and discount rates or comparable sales in accordance with our fair value measurement policy. Refer to Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Most of our leases contain non-contingent rent escalations for which we recognize income on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease being higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset which is included in the “Other Assets” line item in our consolidated balance sheets. We review our unbilled straight-line rent receivable balance to determine the future collectability of revenue that will not be billed to or collected from tenants due to early lease terminations, lease modifications, bankruptcies and other factors. An allowance to write down the straight-line receivable balance is taken in the period that future collectability is uncertain.
Additionally, we provide for bad debt expense based upon the allowance method of accounting. We continuously monitor the collectability of our accounts receivable from specific tenants, analyze historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in tenant payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for bad debts. Allowances are taken for those balances that we have reason to believe will be uncollectible.
For more information refer to Note 1 Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable subtopics of the notes to the consolidated financial statements.

| | | | | | | | |
Total revenue in 2014 increased $48.3 million, or 28.4% from 2013. The increase is primarily due to the following:
| |
• | $43.7 million increase related to acquisitions completed in 2014 and 2013; |
| |
• | $4.6 million increase at existing centers; and |
| |
• | $1.8 million increase in lease termination income primarily due to the early departure of an office tenant at our office building; offset by |
| |
• | $1.8 million decrease related to properties sold in 2014, reduced management fee income and properties in redevelopment. |
Operating expense in 2014 increased $7.8 million, or 33.4% from 2013. The increase is primarily due to the following:
| |
• | $5.7 million related to increases in recoverable operating expenses due to our 2014 and 2013 acquisitions; and |
| |
• | $1.5 million related to increase in recoverable operating expenses at existing centers. |
Real estate tax expense in 2014 increased $8.3 million, or 35.9% from 2013, primarily due to our 2014 and 2013 acquisitions.
Depreciation and amortization expense in 2014 increased $24.9 million, or 44.2%, from 2013. The increase was primarily due to our acquisitions in 2014 and 2013, new development completion and other capital activities.
General and administrative expense in 2014 increased $0.7 million or 3.4% from 2013. The increase was primarily due to:
| |
• | $0.9 million related to an increase in costs associated with our long-term incentive plans which are based on our stock price performance relative to a group of our peers (see Note 16 for additional information); offset in part by |
| |
• | higher capitalization of development and leasing salaries and related costs in 2014. Salaries capitalized in 2014 and 2013 represented approximately 19% and 18%, respectively, of total salaries. |
Impairment provisions of $27.9 million recorded in 2014 related to the decision to market certain income-producing properties for sale and adjustments to the sales price assumptions for certain undeveloped land parcels available for sale at several of our development properties. In 2013 our impairment provisions totaled $9.7 million. Refer to Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of these charges.
Gain on sale of real estate was $10.9 million in 2014 primarily due to the sale of five income-producing properties and four individual outparcel sales. In the comparable period in 2013 we had a gain of $4.3 million. Refer to Note 4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further detail on the sales.
Earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures in 2014 increased $4.8 million from 2013. In 2013 we acquired our partner's 70% interest in 12 shopping centers held in the Ramco/Lion Venture LP. The sale resulted in a loss of $21.5 million to the joint venture of which our share was $6.4 million.
Interest expense and amortization of deferred financing fees increased in 2014 by $4.7 million, or 15.3% from 2013, primarily due to the following:
| |
• | $6.1 million increase in loan interest due to the issuance of $200.0 million in senior unsecured notes in the second half of 2014; offset in part by |
| |
• | $0.6 million increase in the amortization of mortgage premiums; and |
| |
• | $0.7 million increase in capitalized interest due to our development/redevelopment projects. |
In 2014 we recorded a deferred gain of $0.1 million which related to a property sold in 2007 to a joint venture in which we had a 20% non-controlling interest. Due to our continuing involvement we deferred the portion of the gain related to our 20% interest. The property was conveyed to the lender in 2014 and we recognized the previously deferred gain. In 2013, we recorded a deferred gain of $5.3 million.
Loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.9 million in 2014 related to the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs associated with the early payoff of $120.0 million in unsecured term loan debt. In 2013 we recorded a loss of $0.3 million related to a prepayment penalty incurred to repay two mortgages.

Total revenue in 2013 increased $44.8 million, or 35.8% from 2012. The increase is primarily due to the following:
| |
• | $43.6 million increase related to our acquisitions completed in 2013 and 2012; |
| |
• | $3.1 million increase income related to increases at existing centers; |
| |
• | $1.0 million increase related to the completion of Phase I of the Parkway shops development; offset in part by |
| |
• | a decrease in revenue at properties under redevelopment and lower fee income due to our acquisition of a portfolio of properties from a joint venture in which we hold a 30% interest. |
In 2013 operating expenses increased by $5.0 million, or 27.1%, real estate tax expense increased $6.5 million, or 38.7%, and depreciation and amortization expense increased by $17.6 million, or 45.6% from 2012 primarily due to our acquisitions completed in 2013 and 2012.
General and administrative expense in 2013 increased $1.8 million or 9.5% from 2012. The increase was primarily due to:
| |
• | $1.8 million related to an increase in costs associated with our long-term incentive plans which are based on our stock price performance relative to a group of our peers (see Note 16 for additional information) offset in part by higher capitalization of development and leasing salaries and related costs in 2013. Salaries capitalized in 2013 and 2012 represented approximately 18% of total salaries. |
Impairment provisions of $9.7 million were recorded in 2013 related to adjustments to the sales price assumptions for certain undeveloped land parcels available for sale at several of our development properties and other-than-temporary declines in the fair market value of various equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures. In 2012 our impairment provisions totaled $1.8 million. Refer to Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for a detailed discussion of these charges.
Gain on sale of real estate was $4.3 million in 2013 primarily due to a $3.0 million gain on sale of land at our Roseville Towne Center to Wal-Mart, an anchor tenant, and a net gain on the sale of multiple outparcels at several other properties. Refer to Note 4 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for detail of the indvidual sales.
(Loss) earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures decreased in 2013 by $8.0 million from 2012. The decrease was related to the acquisition of our partner's 70% interest in 12 shopping centers held in the Ramco/Lion Venture LP. The sale resulted in a loss of $21.5 million to the joint venture of which our share was $6.4 million.
Interest expense in 2013 increased $3.2 million, or 11.6% from 2012, primarily due to the following:
| |
• | $1.1 million increase in mortgage interest related to the assumption of loans as part our 2013 acquisitions; |
| |
• | $3.4 million increase in loan interest due to the issuance of senior unsecured notes in July 2013; offset in part by |
| |
• | $1.1 million decrease in interest related to our junior subordinated notes. In January, 2013 the notes converted from a fixed interest rate of 7.9% to a variable interest rate of LIBOR plus 3.3% (3.5% at December 31, 2013); |
| |
• | lower average balances on our revolving credit facility; and |
| |
• | $0.2 million increase in capitalized interest due to our development/redevelopment projects. |
In 2013, we recorded a deferred gain of $5.3 million which related to a property sold in 2007 to the Ramco/Lion Venture, LP, a joint venture in which we have a 30% non-controlling interest. Due to our continuing involvement we deferred the portion of the gain related to our 30% interest. In 2013 we acquired our partners' 70% interest in the property and recognized the previously deferred gain. In 2012 we recognized a previously deferred gain of $0.8 million.
Loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.3 million in 2013 related to a prepayment penalty incurred to repay two mortgages. There was no similar charge in 2012.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
The majority of our cash is generated from operations and is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. The principal uses of our liquidity and capital resources are for operations, developments, redevelopments, including expansion and renovation programs, acquisitions, and debt repayment. In addition, we make quarterly dividend payments in accordance with REIT requirements for distributing the substantial majority of our taxable income on an annual basis. We anticipate that the combination of cash on hand, cash from operations, availability under our credit facilities, additional financings, equity offerings, and the sale of existing properties will satisfy our expected working capital requirements through at least the next 12 months. Although we believe that the combination of factors discussed above will provide sufficient liquidity, no such assurance can be given.
At December 31, 2014 and 2013, we had $17.5 million and $9.2 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash. Restricted cash was comprised primarily of funds held in escrow by lenders to pay real estate taxes, insurance premiums, and certain capital expenditures.
Short-Term Liquidity Requirements
Our short-term liquidity needs are met primarily from rental income and recoveries and consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, interest and scheduled principal payments on our debt, quarterly dividend payments (including distributions to OP unit holders) and capital expenditures related to tenant improvements and redevelopment activities.
We have five mortgages maturing from June through December 2015 totaling $86.1 million, which includes scheduled amortization payments.
We continually search for investment opportunities that may require additional capital and/or liquidity. As of December 31, 2014, we had no proposed property acquisitions under contract.
Long-Term Liquidity Requirements
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay indebtedness at maturity, potential acquisitions of properties, redevelopment of existing properties, the development of land and non-recurring capital expenditures.
The following is a summary of our cash flow activities:
|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Year Ended December 31, |
| 2014 | | 2013 | | 2012 |
| (In thousands) |

Cash provided by financing activities | 208,671 |
| | 271,731 |
| | 103,094 |
|
Operating Activities
We anticipate that cash on hand, operating cash flows, borrowings under our revolving credit facility, issuance of equity, as well as other debt and equity alternatives, will provide the necessary capital that we require to operate. Net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $25.0 million in 2014 compared to 2013 primarily due to:
| |
• | Net operating income increased $27.7 million as a result of our acquisitions (net of dispositions) and leasing activity at our shopping centers; offset by |
| |
• | Net accounts receivable increase of $0.7 million; and |
| |
• | An increase in net interest expense of approximately $4.7 million primarily due to the issuance of senior notes. |
Investing Activities
Net cash used for investing activities decreased $40.0 million compared to 2013 primarily due to:
| |
• | Acquisitions of real estate decreased $77.8 million; |
| |
• | Investment in unconsolidated joint ventures decreased $5.0 million. In the previous year we had made contributions to fund debt repayment. In addition in 2013 we received a distribution of $1.7 million for the sale of joint venture property; offset by |
| |
• | Restricted cash decreased $5.1 million; and |
| |
• | Additions to real estate increased $36.1 million, as a result of an increase in development funding by $25.1 million, capital expenditures of $9.3 million, and $1.7 million in deferred leasing costs. |
Financing Activities
Cash flows provided by financing activities were $208.7 million as compared to $271.7 million in 2013. This difference of $63.1 million is primarily explained by:
| |
• | an increase in our net borrowing of $53.9 million for debt and deferred financing costs; offset by |
| |
• | a decrease in net proceeds of $103.9 million from common share issuances; |
| |
• | an increase in cash dividends to common shareholders of $14.0 million due to additional shares issued as well as an increase in our per share quarterly dividend payment; and |
| |
• | a decrease in cash paid out for OP unit conversions of $1.2 million. |
As of December 31, 2014, $335.9 million was available to be drawn on our $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility subject to certain covenants. It is anticipated that additional funds borrowed under our credit facilities will be used for general corporate purposes, including working capital, capital expenditures, the repayment of indebtedness or other corporate activities. For further information on the credit facilities and other debt, refer to Note 9 of the consolidated financial statements.
Dividends and Equity
We currently qualify, and intend to continue to qualify in the future, as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code”). Under the Code, as a REIT we must distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income annually, excluding net capital gain. Distributions paid are at the discretion of our Board and depend on our actual net income available to common shareholders, cash flow, financial condition, capital requirements, restrictions in financing arrangements, the annual distribution requirements under REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.
We paid cash dividends of $0.7625 per common share to shareholders in 2014. In the third quarter we increased our quarterly dividend 6.7% to $0.20 per share, or an annualized amount of $0.80 per share. Cash dividends for 2013 and 2012 were $0.6923 and $0.653 per common share, respectively. Our dividend policy is to make distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain, in order to maintain qualification as a REIT. On an annualized basis, our current dividend is above our estimated minimum required distribution. Distributions paid by us are funded from cash flows from operating activities. To the extent that cash flows from operating activities were insufficient to pay total distributions for any period, alternative funding sources would be used. Examples of alternative funding sources may include proceeds from sales of real estate and bank borrowings. Although we may use alternative sources of cash to fund distributions in a given period, we expect that distribution requirements for an entire year will be met with cash flows from operating activities.

In August 2014, we issued 6.9 million common shares of beneficial interest. Our total net proceeds, after deducting expenses, were approximately $108.7 million and were used to fund a portion of the consideration for our acquisitions in the third quarter 2014.
In addition, during 2014, we issued 3.8 million common shares through our controlled equity offerings generating $61.7 million in net proceeds, after sales commissions and fees of $0.9 million. We used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes including the repayment of debt. We have registered up to 8.0 million common shares for issuance from time to time, at our sole discretion, through our controlled equity offering sales agreement, of which 4.0 million shares remained unsold as of December 31, 2014. The shares issued in the controlled equity offering are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on our registration statement on Form S-3.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
Real Estate Joint Ventures
As of December 31, 2014, we had four equity investments in unconsolidated joint venture entities in which we owned 30% or less of the total ownership interest. We account for these entities under the equity method.
We have a 20% ownership interest in Ramco 450 which owns a portfolio of eight properties totaling 1.7 million square feet of GLA. As of December 31, 2014, the properties had consolidated equity of $137.3 million. Our total investment in the venture at December 31, 2014 was $17.2 million. The Ramco 450 venture has total debt obligations of approximately $140.3 million with maturity dates ranging from December 2015 through September 2023. Our proportionate share of the total debt is $28.1 million. Such debt is non-recourse to the venture, subject to carve-outs customary to such types of mortgage financing.
We have a 30% ownership interest in Ramco/Lion which owns a portfolio of three properties totaling 0.8 million square feet of GLA. As of December 31, 2014, the properties in the portfolio had consolidated equity of $57.6 million. Our total investment in the venture at December 31, 2014 was $8.8 million. Ramco/Lion has one property with a mortgage payable obligation of
approximately $30.0 million with maturity date of October 2015. Our proportionate share of the total debt is $9.0 million. Such debt is non-recourse to the venture, subject to carve-outs customary to such types of mortgage financing.
We also have ownership interests of 7% in two smaller joint ventures that each own one property. As of December 31, 2014, these properties have combined equity of $45.1 million. Our total investment in these ventures was $2.8 million.
Refer to Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for more information regarding our equity investments in joint ventures.

We anticipate that the combination of cash on hand, cash provided from operating activities, the availability under our credit facility ($335.9 million at December 31, 2014 subject to covenants), our access to the capital markets and the sale of existing properties will satisfy our expected working capital requirements through at least the next 12 months.
At December 31, 2014, we did not have any contractual obligations that required or allowed settlement, in whole or in part, with consideration other than cash.
Mortgages and notes payable
See the analysis of our debt included in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” above.
Employment Contracts
At December 31, 2014, we had employment contracts with our Chief Executive and Chief Financial Officers that contain minimum guaranteed compensation. All other employees are subject to at-will employment.
Operating and Capital Leases
We lease office space for our corporate headquarters under an operating lease. We have an operating lease for land at one of our shopping centers.
At December 31, 2014 we had a capital lease at our Gaines Marketplace shopping center that provides the option to purchase the land parcel for approximately $0.7 million. Refer to Note 19 - Subsequent Events of the notes to the consolidated financial
statements for more information. In addition we have a capital lease at our Buttermilk Towne Center with the City of Crescent Springs, Kentucky. The lease provides for fixed annual payments of $0.1 million through maturity in December 2032, at which time we can acquire the center for one dollar.
Construction Costs
In connection with the development and expansion of various shopping centers as of December 31, 2014, we have entered into agreements for construction activities with an aggregate cost of approximately $10.1 million.
Planned Capital Spending
We are focused on our core strength of enhancing the value of our existing portfolio of shopping centers through successful leasing efforts and the completion of our redevelopment projects currently in process.
For 2015, we anticipate spending approximately $57.5 million for capital expenditures, of which $10.1 million is reflected in the construction commitments in the above contractual obligations table. Of the total anticipated spending, approximately $3.3 million is for development costs and approximately $54.2 million is for redevelopment projects, tenant improvements, and leasing costs. Estimates for future spending will change as new projects are approved.
Capitalization
At December 31, 2014 our total market capitalization was $2.5 billion and is detailed below:
|
| | | |
| (in thousands) |
Net debt (including property-specific mortgages, unsecured revolving credit facility, term loans and capital lease obligation net of $9.3 million in cash) | $ | 905,332 |
|
Common shares, OP units, and dilutive securities based on market price of $18.74 at December 31, 2014 | 1,499,893 |
|
Convertible perpetual preferred shares based on market price of $66.93 at December 31, 2014 | 133,860 |
|
Total market capitalization | $ | 2,539,085 |
|
| |
Net debt to total market capitalization | 35.7 | % |
| |
At December 31, 2014, noncontrolling interests represented a 2.8% ownership in the Operating Partnership. The OP Units may, under certain circumstances, be exchanged for our common shares of beneficial interest on a one-for-one basis. We, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, have the option, but not the obligation, to settle exchanged OP Units held by others in cash. Assuming the exchange of all OP Units, there would have been 79,820,122 of our common shares of beneficial interest outstanding at December 31, 2014, with a market value of approximately $1.5 billion.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Certain of our key performance indicators are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these measures along with our GAAP financial statements in order to evaluate our operations results. We believe these additional measures provide users of our financial information additional comparable indicators of our industry, as well as, our performance.
Funds From Operations
We consider funds from operations, also known as “FFO”, to be an appropriate supplemental measure of the financial performance of an equity REIT. Under the NAREIT definition, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property and excluding impairment provisions on depreciable real estate or on investments in non-consolidated investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the investee, plus depreciation and amortization, (excluding amortization of financing costs). Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.
Also, we consider “Operating FFO” a meaningful, additional measure of financial performance because it excludes acquisition costs and periodic items such as impairment provisions on land available for development or sale, bargain purchase gains, and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt that are not adjusted under the current NAREIT definition of FFO. We provide a reconciliation of FFO to Operating FFO. FFO and Operating FFO should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income available to common shareholders or as alternatives to cash flow as measures of liquidity.
While we consider FFO and Operating FFO useful measures for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance between periods or to compare our performance to different REITs, our computations of FFO and Operating FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other real estate companies, and therefore, may not be comparable.
We recognize the limitations of FFO and Operating FFO when compared to GAAP net income available to common shareholders. FFO and Operating FFO do not represent amounts available for needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. In addition, FFO and Operating FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. FFO and Operating FFO are simply used as additional indicators of our operating performance. The following table illustrates the calculations of FFO and Operating FFO:

Same Property Operating Income
Same Property Operating Income ("Same Property NOI") is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies' operating performance. Same Property NOI is considered by management to be a relevant performance measure of our operations because it includes only the NOI of comparable properties for the reporting period. Same Property NOI is calculated using consolidated operating income and adjusted to exclude management and other fee income, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, provision for impairment and non-comparable income/expense adjustments such as straight-line rents, lease termination fees, above/below market rents, and other non-comparable operating income and expense adjustments.
Same Property NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Our method of calculating Same Property NOI may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Inflation
Inflation has been relatively low in recent years and has not had a significant detrimental impact on the results of our operations. Should inflation rates increase in the future, substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to partially mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require our tenants to reimburse us for real estate taxes and many of the operating expenses we incur. Also, many of our leases provide for periodic increases in base rent which are either of a fixed amount or based on changes in the consumer price index and/or percentage rents (where the tenant pays us rent based on a percentage of its sales). Significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on our business.

Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We have exposure to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt obligations. Based on market conditions, we may manage our exposure to interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swap agreements to hedge our variable rate debt. We are not subject to any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk, or other material rate or price risks. Based on our debt and interest rates and interest rate swap agreements in effect at December 31, 2014, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would impact our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.4 million annually. We believe that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of our total outstanding debt by approximately $7.3 million at December 31, 2014.
We had interest rate swap agreements with an aggregate notional amount of $210.0 million as of December 31, 2014. The agreements provided for fixed rates ranging from 1.2% to 2.2% and had expirations ranging from April 2016 to May 2020.
The following table sets forth information as of December 31, 2014 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts and fair market. Debt premium of approximately $8.9 million is excluded:

We estimated the fair value of our fixed rate mortgages using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity. Considerable judgment is required to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. The table incorporates only those exposures that exist at December 31, 2014 and does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date or firm commitments as of such date. Therefore, the information presented therein has limited predictive value. Our actual interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period and on market interest rates at that time.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Management is responsible for establishing and maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(f) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended.
Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and preparation of our consolidated financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that pertain to our ability to record, process, summarize and report reliable financial data. Management recognizes that there are inherent limitations in the effectiveness of any internal control and effective internal control over financial reporting can provide only reasonable assurance with respect to financial statement preparation. Additionally, because of changes in conditions, the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting may vary over time.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Our management conducted an assessment of our internal controls over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014 using the framework established in 2013 by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission in Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on this assessment, management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.
Our independent registered public accounting firm, Grant Thornton LLP, has issued an attestation report on our internal control over financial reporting. Their report appears on page F-3 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust
We have audited the internal control over financial reporting of Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust (a Maryland corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk, and performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by COSO.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the year ended December 31, 2014, and our report dated February 27, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion on those financial statements.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM
Board of Trustees and Shareholders
Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust (a Maryland corporation) and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss), shareholders’ equity, and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014. Our audits of the basic consolidated financial statements included the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15. These financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in the 2013 Internal Control-Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated February 27, 2015 expressed an unqualified opinion.

RAMCO-GERSHENSON PROPERTIES TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Years Ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012
1. Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, together with our subsidiaries (the “Company”), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the business of owning, developing, redeveloping, acquiring, managing and leasing large multi-anchored shopping centers primarily in a dozen of the largest metropolitan markets in the United States. Our property portfolio consists of 67 wholly owned shopping centers and one office building comprising approximately 14.2 million square feet. In addition, we are co-investor in and manager of two institutional joint ventures that own portfolios of shopping centers. We own 20% of Ramco 450 Venture LLC, an entity that owns eight shopping centers comprising approximately 1.7 million square feet and 30% of Ramco/Lion Venture L.P., an entity that owns three shopping centers comprising approximately 0.8 million square feet. We also have ownership interests in two smaller joint ventures that each own a shopping center. Our joint ventures are reported using equity method accounting. We earn fees from the joint ventures for managing, leasing, and redeveloping the shopping centers they own. We also own interests in three parcels of land available for development and five parcels of land available for sale.
We made an election to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that we annually distribute at least 90% of our taxable income to our shareholders and meet other conditions.
Principles of Consolidation and Estimates
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of us and our majority owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (97.2%, 96.8% and 95.4% owned by us at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively), and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, including entities in which we have a controlling interest or have been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The presentation of consolidated financial statements does not itself imply that assets of any consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are available to pay the liabilities of any other consolidated entity, or that the liabilities of any other consolidated entity (including any special-purpose entity formed for a particular project) are obligations of any other consolidated entity. Investments in real estate joint ventures over which we have the ability to exercise significant influence, but for which we do not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, our share of the earnings (loss) of these joint ventures is included in consolidated net income (loss). All intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.
We own 100% of the non-voting and voting common stock of Ramco-Gershenson, Inc. (“Ramco”), and therefore it is included in the consolidated financial statements. Ramco has elected to be a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes. Ramco provides property management services to us and to other entities, including our real estate joint venture partners.
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires our management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and reported amounts that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the financial statements in order to conform to the 2014 presentation.
Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable
Our shopping center space is generally leased to retail tenants under leases that are classified as operating leases. We recognize minimum rents using the straight-line method over the terms of the leases commencing when the tenant takes possession of the space or when construction of landlord funded improvements is substantially complete. Certain of the leases also provide for contingent percentage rental income which is recorded on an accrual basis once the specified target that triggers this type of income is achieved. The leases also provide for reimbursement from tenants for common area maintenance (“CAM”), insurance, real estate taxes and other operating expenses ("Recovery Income"). The majority of our Recovery Income is estimated and recognized as revenue in the period the recoverable costs are incurred or accrued. Revenues from management, leasing, and other fees are
recognized in the period in which the services have been provided and the earnings process is complete. Lease termination income is recognized when a lease termination agreement is executed by the parties and the tenant vacates the space. When a lease is terminated early but the tenant continues to control the space under a modified lease agreement, the lease termination fee is generally recognized evenly over the remaining term of the modified lease agreement.
Current accounts receivable from tenants primarily relate to contractual minimum rent, percentage rent and Recovery Income.
We provide for bad debt expense based upon the allowance method of accounting. We monitor the collectability of our accounts receivable from specific tenants on an ongoing basis, analyze historical bad debts, customer creditworthiness, current economic trends and changes in tenant payment terms when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for bad debts. Allowances are taken for those balances that we have reason to believe may be uncollectible. When tenants are in bankruptcy, we make estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims. The period to resolve these claims can exceed one year. Management believes the allowance for doubtful accounts is adequate to absorb currently estimated bad debts. However, if we experience bad debts in excess of the allowance we have established, our operating income would be reduced. At December 31, 2014 and 2013, our accounts receivable were $12.0 million and $9.6 million, respectively, net of allowances for doubtful accounts of $2.3 million and $2.4 million, respectively.
In addition, many of our leases contain non-contingent rent escalations for which we recognize income on a straight-line basis over the non-cancelable lease term. This method results in rental income in the early years of a lease being higher than actual cash received, creating a straight-line rent receivable asset which is included in the “Other assets, net” line item in our consolidated balance sheets. We review our unbilled straight-line rent receivable balance to determine the future collectability of revenue that will not be billed to or collected from tenants due to early lease terminations, lease modifications, bankruptcies and other factors. Our evaluation is based on our assessment of tenant credit risk changes indicating that expected future straight-line rent may not be realized. Depending on circumstances, we may provide a reserve against the previously recognized straight-line rent receivable asset for a portion, up to its full value, that we estimate may not be received. The balance of straight-line rent receivable at December 31, 2014 and 2013, net of allowances was $15.8 million and $15.1 million, respectively. To the extent any of the tenants under these leases become unable to pay their contractual cash rents, we may be required to write down the straight-line rent receivable from those tenants, which would reduce our operating income.
Real Estate
Real estate assets that we own directly are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is computed using the straight-line method. The estimated useful lives for computing depreciation are generally 10 – 40 years for buildings and and improvements and 5 – 30 years for parking lot surfacing and equipment. We capitalize all capital improvement expenditures associated with replacements and improvements to real property that extend its useful life and depreciate them over their estimated useful lives ranging from 15 – 25 years. In addition, we capitalize qualifying tenant leasehold improvements and depreciate them over the useful life of the improvements or the term of the related tenant lease. We also capitalize direct internal and external costs of procuring leases and amortize them over the base term of the lease. If a tenant vacates before the expiration of its lease, we charge unamortized leasing costs and undepreciated tenant leasehold improvements of no future value to expense. We charge maintenance and repair costs that do not extend an asset’s life to expense as incurred.
Sale of a real estate asset is recognized when it is determined that the sale has been consummated, the buyer’s initial and continuing investment is adequate, our receivable, if any, is not subject to future subordination, and the buyer has assumed the usual risks and rewards of ownership of the asset. We will classify properties as held for sale when executed purchase and sales agreement contingencies have been satisfied thereby signifying that the sale is guaranteed and legally binding.
We allocate the costs of acquisitions to assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on estimated fair values, replacement costs and appraised values. The purchase price of the acquired property is allocated to land, building, improvements and identifiable intangibles such as in-place leases, above/below market leases, out-of-market assumed mortgages, and gain on purchase, if any. The value allocated to above/below market leases is amortized over the related lease term and included in rental income in our consolidated statements of operations. Should a tenant terminate its lease prior to its stated expiration, all unamortized amounts relating to that lease would be written off.
Real estate also includes costs incurred in the development of new operating properties and the redevelopment of existing operating properties. These properties are carried at cost and no depreciation is recorded on these assets until the commencement of rental revenue or no later than one year from the completion of major construction. These costs include pre-development costs directly identifiable with the specific project, development and construction costs, interest, real estate taxes and insurance. Interest is capitalized on land under development and buildings under construction based on the weighted average rate applicable to our borrowings outstanding during the period and the weighted average balance of qualified assets under development/redevelopment
during the period. Indirect project costs associated with development or construction of a real estate project are capitalized until the earlier of one year following substantial completion of construction or when the property becomes available for occupancy.
The capitalized costs associated with development and redevelopment projects are depreciated over the useful life of the improvements. If we determine a development or redevelopment project is no longer probable, we expense all capitalized costs which are not recoverable.
It is our policy to start vertical construction on new development projects only after the project has received entitlements, significant anchor leasing commitments, construction financing and joint venture partner commitments, if appropriate. We are in the entitlement and pre-leasing phases at our development projects.
Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets
We review our investment in real estate, including any related intangible assets, for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the property may not be recoverable. These changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in occupancy, rental rates, tenant sales, net operating income, real estate values and expected holding period. The viability of all projects under construction or development, including those owned by unconsolidated joint ventures, are regularly evaluated under applicable accounting requirements, including requirements relating to abandonment of assets or changes in use. To the extent a project, or individual components of the project, are no longer considered to have value, the related capitalized costs are charged against operations.
Impairment provisions resulting from any event or change in circumstances, including changes in management’s intentions or management’s analysis of varying scenarios, could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
We recognize an impairment of an investment in real estate when the estimated undiscounted cash flow is less than the net carrying value of the property. If it is determined that an investment in real estate is impaired, then the carrying value is reduced to the estimated fair value as determined by cash flow models and discount rates or comparable sales in accordance with our fair value measurement policy. Refer to Note 6 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
In 2014, we recorded impairment provisions totaling $27.9 million consisting of:
| |
• | $23.3 million related to certain parcels of land available for development or sale due to changes in plans or in fair value estimates; and |
| |
• | $4.6 million of related to income producing properties that we have identified to be marketed for sale. |
Investments in Real Estate Joint Ventures
We have four equity investments in unconsolidated joint venture entities in which we own 30% or less of the total ownership interest. Because we can influence but not make significant decisions without our partners' approval, these investments are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. We provide leasing, development, asset and property management services to these joint ventures for which we are paid fees. Refer to Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
We review our equity investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment on a venture-by-venture basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the equity investment may not be recoverable. In testing for impairment of these equity investments, we primarily use cash flow models, discount rates, and capitalization rates to estimate the fair value of properties held in joint ventures, and mark the debt of the joint ventures to market. Considerable judgment by management is applied when determining whether an equity investment in an unconsolidated entity is impaired and, if so, the amount of the impairment. Changes to assumptions regarding cash flows, discount rates, or capitalization rates could be material to our consolidated financial statements.
There were no impairment provisions on our equity investments in joint ventures recorded in 2014.
Other Assets, net
Other assets consist primarily of acquired lease intangibles, straight-line rent receivable, deferred leasing costs, deferred financing costs and prepaid expenses. Other assets also include the the fair value of in-place public improvement fee income and real estate tax exemption agreements associated with two properties acquired in 2014. Deferred financing and leasing costs are amortized using the straight-line method over the terms of the respective agreements. Should a tenant terminate its lease, the unamortized portion of the leasing cost is expensed. Unamortized financing costs are expensed when the related agreements are terminated before their scheduled maturity dates. We review our unbilled straight-line rent receivable balance to determine the future collectability of revenue that will not be billed to or collected from tenants due to early lease terminations, lease modifications, bankruptcies and other factors. Our evaluation is based on our assessment of tenant credit risk changes indicating that expected future straight-line rent may not be realized. Depending on circumstances, we may provide a reserve against the previously recognized straight-line rent receivable asset for a portion, up to its full value, that we estimate may not be received.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Cash balances in individual banks may exceed the federally insured limit by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). As of December 31, 2014, we had $12.7 million in excess of the FDIC insured limit.
Recognition of Share-based Compensation Expense
We grant share-based compensation awards to employees and trustees in the form of restricted common shares and in the past we have granted stock options to employees and trustees. Our share-based award costs are equal to each grant date fair value and are recognized over the service periods of the awards using the graded vesting method. See Note 16 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Income Tax Status
We made an election to qualify, and believe our operating activities permit us to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. Accordingly, we generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income annually to our shareholders and meet other conditions. We are obligated to pay state taxes, generally consisting of franchise or gross receipts taxes in certain states which are not material to our consolidated financial statements.
Certain of our operations, including property and asset management, as well as ownership of certain land parcels, are conducted through taxable REIT subsidiaries, (“TRSs”) which are subject to federal and state income taxes. During the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, we sold various properties and land parcels at a gain, resulting in both a federal and state tax liability. See Note 17 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for further information.
Variable Interest Entities
Certain entities that do not have sufficient equity at risk for the entity to finance its activities without additional subordinated financial support from other parties or in which equity investors do not have the characteristics of a controlling financial interest qualify as VIEs. VIEs are required to be consolidated by their primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary of a VIE has both (i) the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact economic performance of the VIE, and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.
We have evaluated our investments in joint ventures and determined that the joint ventures do not meet the requirements of a VIE and, therefore, consolidation of these ventures is not required. Accordingly, these investments are accounted for using the equity method.
Noncontrolling Interest in Subsidiaries
There are third parties who have certain noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries that are exchangeable for our common shares on a 1:1 basis or cash, at our election. Noncontrolling interest is classified as a separate component of equity outside of the permanent equity section of our consolidated balance sheets. Consolidated net income and comprehensive income includes the noncontrolling interest’s share. The calculation of earnings per share is based on income available to common shareholders.
Segment Information
Our primary business is the ownership, management, redevelopment, development and operation of retail shopping centers. We do not distinguish our primary business or group our operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. We review operating and financial data for each property on an individual basis and define an operating segment as an individual property. The individual properties have been aggregated into one reportable segment based upon their similarities with regard to both the nature and economics of the centers, tenants and operational processes, as well as long-term financial performance. No one individual property constitutes more than 10% of our revenue or property operating income and none of our shopping centers are located outside the United States. Accordingly, we have a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes.
2. Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-12, “Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period” (“ASU 2014-12”). The amendments in ASU 2014-12 require that a performance target that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification Topic No. 718, “Compensation — Stock Compensation” (“ASC 718”), as it relates to awards with performance conditions that affect vesting to account for such awards. The amendments in ASU 2014-12 are effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. Entities may apply the amendments in ASU 2014-12 either: (a) prospectively to all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (b) retrospectively to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements and to all new or modified awards thereafter. We believe the adoption of this guidance will not have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 "Revenue from Contract with Customers" as a new Topic, Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 606. The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The core principle is that a company should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. In applying the new standard, companies will perform a five-step analysis of transactions to determine when and how revenue is recognized. ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB ASC. This ASU is effective for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016 and shall be applied using either a full retrospective or modified retrospective approach. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements nor decided upon the method of adoption.
In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08 "Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360), Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity" which amends the requirements for reporting discontinued operations. Under ASU 2014-08, a disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be reported in discontinued operations if the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial results. For public entities, ASU 2014-08 is effective prospectively for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014; however, early adoption is permitted, but only for disposals or classifications as held for sale that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued or available for issuance. We adopted the provisions of ASU 2014-08 beginning with the period ended March 31, 2014, and have applied the provisions prospectively.
Prior to the adoption of ASU 2014-08, the results of operations for operating properties sold or held for sale during the reported periods were shown under Discontinued Operations on the Consolidated Statements of Operations. Beginning with the period ended March 31, 2014, in general, our activity related to individual sales of properties wholly-owned or co-owned with joint ventures will no longer be classified as Discontinued Operations.
3. Real Estate
Included in our net real estate are income producing shopping center properties that are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, construction in process and land available for development or sale.
Land available for development or sale includes real estate projects where vertical construction has yet to commence, but which have been identified by us and are available for future development when market conditions dictate the demand for a new shopping center. Land available for sale was $21.8 million and $19.9 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
At December 31, 2014, we had three projects under pre-development. Our land available for development consisted of:
|

Construction in progress represents existing development and redevelopment projects. When projects are substantially complete and ready for their intended use, balances are transferred to land, buildings or improvements as appropriate. Construction in progress was $25.7 million and $33.5 million at December 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. The decrease was primarily due to the completion of Phase I of Lakeland Park Center, located in Lakeland, Florida. The cost for Lakeland Park Center Phase I was approximately $33.4 million, excluding initial land costs. This decrease is offset in part by costs associated with the commencement of Phase II of Parkway Shops located in Jacksonville, Florida which commenced in the third quarter of 2014, as well as by costs associated with redevelopment and expansion projects at various centers.

| |
(1) | In 2014, changes to development plans and to estimated fair values triggered an impairment provision of $23.3 million. Refer to Note 1 under Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets for a discussion of inputs used in determining the fair value of long-lived assets. |
| |
(2) | In 2014, our decision to market for potential sale certain wholly-owned income producing properties resulted in an impairment provision of $4.6 million. Refer to Note 1 under Accounting for the Impairment of Long-Lived Assets for a discussion of inputs used in determining the fair value of long-lived assets. |
Our impairment provisions for our land available for sale and our income producing properties marketed for potential sale were based upon the difference between the fair value of parcels or properties and our allocated or net book basis of those parcels and properties. Our estimated fair value in these investments are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy under GAAP. Refer to Note 11 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for a discussion of fair value measurements.
7. Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
We have four joint venture agreements whereby we own between 7% and 30% of the equity in the joint venture. We and the joint venture partners have joint approval rights for major decisions, including those regarding property operations. We cannot make significant decisions without our partner’s approval. Accordingly, we account for our interest in the joint ventures using the equity method.

Gross intangible assets of $110.3 million, attributable to lease origination costs and above market leases, have a remaining weighted-average amortization period of 4.6 years as of December 31, 2014.
Intangible assets attributable to lease origination costs and for above-market leases are being amortized over the lives of the applicable lease. Amortization of lease origination costs is an increase to amortization expense and amortization of above-market leases is a reduction to minimum rent revenue over the applicable terms of the respective leases. Amortization of the above market lease asset resulted in a reduction of revenue of approximately $2.7 million, $2.1 million, and $0.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
Straight-line rent receivables are recorded net of allowances of $4.3 and $3.8 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Mortgages and unsecured notes payable
We completed the following financing transactions during 2014:
| |
• | In May 2014, we completed a $100.0 million private placement of senior unsecured notes consisting of $50.0 million of notes with a ten-year term with a fixed interest rate of 4.65% and $50.0 million of notes with a twelve-year term at a fixed interest rate of 4.74%. A "shelf" facility allows for an additional $50.0 million in notes to the same purchaser within the next three years, subject to approval, pricing and documentation; |
| |
• | Also in May 2014, we closed a $75.0 million senior unsecured term loan with an additional $75.0 million accordion feature. The loan has a seven-year term and bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 1.25% to 2.25% (initially 1.7%) depending upon our leverage or credit rating. The interest expense is hedged with an existing interest rate swap expiring in April 2016, resulting in an effective fixed initial annual rate of 2.9%. The combined proceeds from the May 2014 financings were used to repay $45.0 million of variable-rate bank term debt due 2017, $75.0 million of bank term debt also due in 2017, the $45.0 million balance on our unsecured revolving line of credit, as well as for general corporate purposes; and |
| |
• | In November 2014, we completed a $100.0 million private placement of senior unsecured notes consisting of $50.0 million of notes with a ten-year term priced at a fixed interest rate of 4.16% and $50.0 million of notes with a twelve-year term priced at a fixed interest rate of 4.3%. |
During 2014 we had the following mortgage transactions:
| |
• | In conjunction with our acquisition of Bridgewater Falls, we assumed a mortgage loan with a $58.6 million principal balance outstanding and an interest rate of 5.7%. We recorded a premium of approximately $6.8 million based upon the fair value of the loan on the date it was assumed. This mortgage premium is being amortized to interest expense over the remaining life of the loan; and |
| |
• | We repaid mortgages securing the following properties: |
| |
◦ | The Auburn Mile mortgage in the amount of $6.6 million with an interest rate of 5.4%; and |
| |
◦ | Crossroads Centre mortgage in the amount of $23.2 million with an interest rate of 5.4%. |
Our $354.7 million of fixed rate mortgages have interest rates ranging from 5.0% to 7.4% and are due at various maturity dates from May 2014 through June 2026. The fixed rate mortgage notes are secured by mortgages on properties that have an approximate net book value of $368.7 million as of December 31, 2014.
We have no mortgage maturities until the second half of 2015 and it is our intent to repay these mortgages using cash, borrowings under our unsecured line of credit, or other sources of financing.
The mortgage loans encumbering our properties, including properties held by our unconsolidated joint ventures, are generally nonrecourse, subject to certain exceptions for which we would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions vary from loan to loan but generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly and certain environmental liabilities. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, we or our joint ventures would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, including penalties and expenses.
We have entered into mortgage loans which are secured by multiple properties and contain cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions. Cross-collateralization provisions allow a lender to foreclose on multiple properties in the event that we default under the loan. Cross-default provisions allow a lender to foreclose on the related property in the event a default is declared under another loan.
Capital lease
At December 31, 2014 we had a capital ground lease at our Gaines Marketplace shopping center. In addition we have a capital lease at our Buttermilk Towne Center with the City of Crescent Springs, Kentucky. Total amounts expensed as interest relating to these leases was $0.2 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 respectively.
The following table presents scheduled principal payments on mortgages and notes payable and capital lease payments as of December 31, 2014:

(2) | Scheduled maturities in 2018 include the $10.0 million balance on the unsecured revolving credit facility drawn as of December 31, 2014. |
Revolving Credit Facility
In October 2014 we closed an amendment to our Master Loan Agreement which increased our revolving credit facility to $350.0 million (from $240.0 million), extended the maturity to October 2018 and modified interest rates. During 2014 we had net repayments of $17.0 million on our revolving credit facility and had outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility, not reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, totaling $4.1 million. These letters of credit reduce borrowing availability under our bank facility. As of December 31, 2014, $335.9 million was available to be drawn on our $350 million unsecured revolving credit facility subject to certain covenants.
The revolving credit and term loan facilities contain financial covenants relating to total leverage, fixed charge coverage ratio, tangible net worth and various other calculations. As of December 31, 2014, we were in compliance with these covenants.
Junior Subordinated Notes
Our junior subordinated notes have a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.30%. The maturity date is January 2038.

The increase in other liabilities was primarily due to the acquisitions that were completed in 2014 and the allocation of a portion of the purchase price to lease intangible liabilities. The lease intangible liability relates to below-market leases that are being accreted over the applicable terms of the acquired leases, which resulted in an increase of revenue of $4.9 million, $3.1 million, and $1.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
11. Fair Value
We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Derivative instruments (interest rate swaps) are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, we, from time to time, may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes three fair value levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The assessed inputs used in determining any fair value measurement could result in incorrect valuations that could be material to our consolidated financial statements. These levels are:
| |
Level 1 | Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets. |
| |
Level 2 | Valuation is based upon quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market. |
| |
Level 3 | Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. |
The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.
Derivative Assets and Liabilities
All of our derivative instruments are interest rate swaps for which quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, we measure fair value on a recurring basis using valuation models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves. We classify derivative instruments as Level 2. Refer to Note 12 for additional information on our derivative financial instruments.
The table below presents the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2014 and 2013.

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.
We estimated the fair value of our debt based on our incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assumes the debt is outstanding through maturity and considers the debt’s collateral (if applicable). Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument. Fixed rate debt (including variable rate debt swapped to fixed through derivatives) with carrying values of $874.7 million and $649.9 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, have fair values of approximately $900.9 million and $650.9 million, respectively. Variable rate debt’s fair value is estimated to be the carrying values of $38.1 million and $100.1 million as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively. We classify our debt as Level 2.
Net Real Estate
Our net real estate, including any identifiable intangible assets, is subject to impairment testing on a nonrecurring basis. To estimate fair value, we use discounted cash flow models that include assumptions of the discount rates that market participants would use in pricing the asset. To the extent impairment has occurred, we charge to expense the excess of the carrying value of the property over its estimated fair value. We classify impaired real estate assets as nonrecurring Level 3.
The table below presents the recorded amount of assets at the time they were marked to fair value during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 on a nonrecurring basis. We did not have any material liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013.

Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
Our equity investments in unconsolidated joint venture entities are subject to impairment testing on a nonrecurring basis if a decline in the fair value of the investment below the carrying amount is determined to be a decline that is other-than-temporary. To estimate the fair value of properties held by unconsolidated entities, we use cash flow models, discount rates, and capitalization rates based
upon assumptions of the rates that market participants would use in pricing the asset. To the extent other-than-temporary impairment has occurred, we charge to expense the excess of the carrying value of the equity investment over its estimated fair value. We classify other-than-temporarily impaired equity investments in unconsolidated entities as nonrecurring Level 3.
12. Derivative Financial Instruments
We utilize interest rate swap agreements for risk management purposes to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt. On the date we enter into an interest rate swap, the derivative is designated as a hedge against the variability of cash flows that are to be paid in connection with a recognized liability. Subsequent changes in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is determined to be highly effective are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. The differential between fixed and variable rates to be paid or received is accrued, as interest rates change, and recognized currently as interest expense in our consolidated statements of operations. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Our cash flow hedges become ineffective if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates, calculation period and LIBOR rate.
At December 31, 2014, we had seven interest rate swap agreements in effect for an aggregate notional amount of $210.0 million that were designated as cash flow hedges. The agreements provide for swapping one-month LIBOR interest rates ranging from 1.2% to 2.2% on $210.0 million of unsecured term loans, and have expirations ranging from April 2016 to May 2020.
The following table summarizes the notional values and fair values of our derivative financial instruments as of December 31, 2014:

15. Shareholders’ Equity
Underwritten public offerings
In August 2014 we completed an underwritten public offering of 6.9 million newly issued common shares of beneficial interest at $16.44 per share which included 0.9 million common shares sold in connection with the full exercise of the underwriters' option to purchase additional shares. Our total net proceeds, after deducting expenses, were approximately $108.7 million.
During 2013, we completed two separate underwritten public offerings of newly issued common shares of beneficial interest, specifically:
| |
• | On November 13, 2013, we issued 4.5 million shares at $15.90 per share. Our total net proceeds, after deducting expenses, were approximately $70.4 million; and |
| |
• | On March 18, 2013, we issued 8.05 million shares at $15.55 per share. Our total net proceeds, after deducting expenses, were approximately $122.2 million. |
Controlled equity offerings
In 2014, through our controlled equity offering we issued 3.8 million common shares, at an average share price of $16.50, and received approximately $61.7 million in net proceeds, after sales commissions and fees of $0.9 million.
In 2013, we issued 5.4 million common shares through our controlled equity offerings generating approximately $81.7 million in net proceeds, after sales commissions and fees of $1.2 million. The average share price in 2013 was $15.10 per share.
Our controlled equity offerings were issued under offerings registered in 2013 whereby we may sell up to 8.0 million common shares of beneficial interest. As of December 31, 2014 we had 4.0 million shares available for issuance.
We have a dividend reinvestment plan that allows for participating shareholders to have their dividend distributions automatically invested in additional shares of beneficial interest based on the average price of the shares acquired for the distribution.
16. Share-Based Compensation and Other Benefit Plans
Incentive and Stock Option Plans
As of December 31, 2014 we have one share-based compensation plan in effect, the 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2012 LTIP”). Under the plan our compensation committee may grant, subject to the Company’s performance conditions as specified by the compensation committee, restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards for up to 2 million of our common shares, units or stock options, of which 1.7 million is available for issuance as of December 31, 2014.
The following share-based compensation plans have been terminated, except with respect to awards outstanding under each plan:
| |
• | The 2009 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan ("2009 LTIP") which allowed for the grant of restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards to trustees, officers and other key employees; |
| |
• | The 2008 Restricted Share Plan for Non-Employee Trustees (the "Trustees' Plan") which allowed for the grant of restricted shares to non-employee trustees of the Company; |
| |
• | 2003 LTIP - allowed for the grant of stock options to our executive officers and employees. As of December 31, 2014, there were 127,248 options exercisable; and |
| |
• | 2003 Non-Employee Trustee Stock Option Plan – this plan provided for the annual grant of options to purchase our shares to our non-employee trustees. As of December 31, 2014, there were 28,000 options exercisable. |
We recognized total share-based compensation expense of $4.6 million, $3.6 million, and $2.6 million for 2014, 2013, and 2012, respectively.
Restricted Stock Share-Based Compensation
Beginning in 2012 the compensation committee determined that the LTIP award would consist of 50% service based restricted shares and 50% performance-based cash awards. The service-based restricted share awards include a five year vesting period and
the compensation expense is recognized on a graded vesting basis We recognized expense related to restricted share grants of $2.1 million, $2.1 million and $2.2 million during the years ended December 31, 2014 , 2013, and 2012, respectively.
The performance shares are earned subject to a future performance measurement based on a three-year shareholder return peer comparison (the “TSR Grants”). If the performance criterion is met the actual value of the grant earned will be determined and 50% of the award will be paid in cash immediately while the balance will be paid in cash the following year.
Pursuant to ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, we determine the grant date fair value of TSR Grants, and any subsequent re-measurements, based upon a Monte Carlo simulation model. We recognize the compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period and we are required to re-value the performance cash awards at the end of each quarter. We use the same methodology as was used at the initial grant date and adjust the compensation expense accordingly. If it is determined that the performance criteria will not be met, compensation expense previously recognized would be reversed. We recognized compensation expense of $2.5 million, $1.5 million and $0.4 million related to the cash awards during the year ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
A summary of the activity of service based restricted shares under the LTIP for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 is presented below:

|
| | | | | | | | | | | |
As of December 31, 2014 there was approximately $4.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested restricted share awards granted under our various share-based plans that we expect to recognize over a weighted average period of 4.2 years.
Stock Option Share-Based Compensation
We recognized approximately $0.1 million of expense related to options during the year ended December 31, 2012. The fair values of each option granted used in determining the share-based compensation expense is estimated on the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. This model incorporates certain assumptions for inputs including risk-free rates, expected dividend yield of the underlying common shares, expected option life and expected volatility.
No options were granted under the LTIP in the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.
The following table reflects the stock option activity for all plans described above:

We received cash of approximately $0.2 million from options exercised during each of the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012. The impact of the cash receipt is included in financing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows.
17. Taxes
Income Taxes
We conduct our operations with the intent of meeting the requirements applicable to a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain, to our shareholders. As long as we qualify as a REIT, we will generally not be liable for federal corporate income taxes.
Certain of our operations, including property management and asset management, as well as ownership of certain land, are conducted through our TRSs which allows us to provide certain services and conduct certain activities that are not generally considered as qualifying REIT activities.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the bases of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the amount where realization is more likely than not assured after considering all available evidence, including expected taxable earnings and potential tax planning strategies. Our temporary differences primarily relate to deferred compensation, depreciation and net operating loss carryforwards.
As of December 31, 2014, we had a federal and state deferred tax asset of $0.2 million, net of a valuation allowance of $10.9 million. We believe that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will generate sufficient taxable income to recognize the net deferred tax assets. These future operations are primarily dependent upon the profitability of our TRSs, the timing and amounts of gains on land sales, and other factors affecting the results of operations of the TRSs. The valuation allowances relate to net operating loss carryforwards and tax basis differences where there is uncertainty regarding their realizability.
During the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, we recorded an income tax provision of approximately $54,000 and $64,000, respectively.
We had no unrecognized tax benefits as of or during the three year period ended December 31, 2014. We expect no significant increases or decreases in unrecognized tax benefits due to changes in tax positions within one year of December 31, 2014. No material interest or penalties relating to income taxes were recognized in the statement of operations for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012 or in the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2014, 2013, and 2012. It is our accounting policy to classify interest and penalties relating to unrecognized tax benefits as tax expense. As of December 31, 2014, returns for the calendar years 2011 through 2014 remain subject to examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) and various state and local tax jurisdictions. As of December 31, 2014, certain returns for calendar year 2010 also remain subject to examination by various state and local tax jurisdictions.
Sales Tax
We collect various taxes from tenants and remit these amounts, on a net basis, to the applicable taxing authorities.
18. Commitments and Contingencies
Construction Costs
In connection with the development and expansion of various shopping centers as of December 31, 2014, we had entered into agreements for construction costs of approximately $10.1 million.
Litigation
We are currently involved in certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business.
Environmental Matters
We are subject to numerous federal, state and local environmental laws, ordinances and regulations in the areas where we own or operate properties. We are not aware of any contamination which may have been caused by us or any of our tenants that would have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.
As part of our risk management activities, we have applied and been accepted into state sponsored environmental programs which will expedite and assure satisfactory compliance with environmental laws and regulations should contaminants need to be remediated. We also have an environmental insurance policy that covers us against third party liabilities and remediation costs.
While we believe that we do not have any material exposure to environmental remediation costs, we cannot give absolute assurance that changes in the law or new discoveries of contamination will not result in additional liabilities to us.
19. Subsequent Events
We have evaluated subsequent events through the date that the consolidated financial statements were issued.
In February 2015 we finalized the purchase of land subject to the ground lease at Gaines Marketplace and sold a portion to the shadow anchor tenant. Net proceeds to us were approximately $3.4 million.
