THE MACERICH COMPANY
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts)
(Unaudited)
1.
Organization:
The Macerich Company (the "Company") is involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community/power shopping centers (the "Centers") located throughout the United States.
The Company commenced operations effective with the completion of its initial public offering on March 16, 1994. As of September 30, 2014, the Company was the sole general partner of, and held a 93% ownership interest in, The Macerich Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"). The Company was organized to qualify as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code").
The property management, leasing and redevelopment of the Company's portfolio is provided by the Company's management companies, Macerich Property Management Company, LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company, Macerich Management Company, a California corporation, Macerich Arizona Partners LLC, a single member Arizona limited liability company, Macerich Arizona Management LLC, a single member Delaware limited liability company, Macerich Partners of Colorado LLC, a single member Colorado limited liability company, MACW Mall Management, Inc., a New York corporation, and MACW Property Management, LLC, a single member New York limited liability company. All seven of the management companies are collectively referred to herein as the "Management Companies."
All references to the Company in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q include the Company, those entities owned or controlled by the Company and predecessors of the Company, unless the context indicates otherwise.
2.
Summary of Significant Accounting Policies:
Basis of Presentation:
The accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States ("GAAP") for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. They do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements and have not been audited by independent public accountants.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and the Operating Partnership. Investments in entities in which the Company has a controlling financial interest or entities that meet the definition of a variable interest entity in which the Company has, as a result of ownership, contractual or other financial interests, both the power to direct activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the variable interest entity and the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the variable interest entity are consolidated; otherwise they are accounted for under the equity method of accounting and are reflected as investments in unconsolidated joint ventures.
All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.
The unaudited interim consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires 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 consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates. The accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited financial statements but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies: (Continued)

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:
On April 10, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2014-08, which amends the definition of discontinued operations and requires additional disclosures for disposal transactions that do not meet the revised discontinued operations criteria. ASU 2014-08 is required to be adopted for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2014, with early adoption permitted. The Company's early adoption of this pronouncement on January 1, 2014 did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures:
The Company has made the following recent investments and dispositions relating to its unconsolidated joint ventures:
On May 29, 2013, the Company's joint venture in Pacific Premier Retail LP sold Redmond Town Center Office, a 582,000 square foot office building in Redmond, Washington, for $185,000, resulting in a gain on the sale of assets of $89,157 to the joint venture.

As a result of the restructuring, the Company’s ownership interest in Camelback Colonnade decreased from 73.2% to 67.5%. Prior to the restructuring, the Company had accounted for its investment in Camelback Colonnade under the equity method of accounting due to substantive participation rights held by the outside partners.

The Company's share of the gain was $3,121, which was included in equity in income from joint ventures. The cash proceeds from the sale were used to pay off the $51,657 mortgage loan on the property and the remaining $9,243, net of closing costs, was distributed to the partners. The Company used its share of the proceeds from the sale to pay down its line of credit and for general corporate purposes.

8. Mortgage Notes Payable: (Continued)


(1)
The mortgage notes payable balances include the unamortized debt premiums (discounts). Debt premiums (discounts) represent the excess (deficiency) of the fair value of debt over (under) the principal value of debt assumed in various acquisitions and are amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt in a manner that approximates the effective interest method.
Debt premiums (discounts) consist of the following:

(2)
The interest rate disclosed represents the effective interest rate, including the debt premiums (discounts) and deferred finance costs.
(3)
The monthly debt service represents the payment of principal and interest.
(4)
The maturity date assumes that all extension options are fully exercised and that the Company does not opt to refinance the debt prior to these dates. These extension options are at the Company's discretion, subject to certain conditions, which the Company believes will be met.
(5)
A 49.9% interest in the loan has been assumed by a third party in connection with a co-venture arrangement (See Note 10Co-Venture Arrangement).
(6)
The construction loan on the property allows for borrowings of up to $140,000, bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.50% and matures on March 5, 2017, including extension options. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total interest rate was 2.95% and 2.96%, respectively.
(7)
On March 24, 2014, the loan was extended to January 1, 2015.
(8)
The loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.25% and matures on March 1, 2017. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total interest rate was 3.03% and 3.04%, respectively.
(9)
On February 7, 2014, the Company paid off in full one of the two loans on the property, which resulted in a loss of $359 on the early extinguishment of debt.
(10)
On August 28, 2014, the Company replaced the existing loan on the property with a new loan that bears interest at an effective interest rate of 4.00% and matures on September 1, 2024. The replacement of the existing loan resulted in a loss of $46 on the early extinguishment of debt.
Most of the mortgage loan agreements contain a prepayment penalty provision for the early extinguishment of the debt.
Most of the Company's mortgage notes payable are secured by the properties on which they are placed and are non-recourse to the Company. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, a total of $72,175 and $77,192, respectively, of the mortgage notes payable could become recourse to the Company.
The Company expects that all loan maturities, except Great Northern Mall, will be refinanced, restructured, extended and/or paid-off during the next twelve months from the Company's line of credit or with cash on hand.
Total interest expense capitalized was $3,930 and $2,887 for the three months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and $9,513 and $8,227 during the nine months ended September 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively.
Related party mortgage notes payable are amounts due to affiliates of NML. See Note 16Related Party Transactions for interest expense associated with loans from NML.

8. Mortgage Notes Payable: (Continued)

The estimated fair value (Level 2 measurement) of mortgage notes payable at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $4,452,658 and $4,500,177, respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable loans. The method for computing fair value was determined using a present value model and an interest rate that included a credit value adjustment based on the estimated value of the property that serves as collateral for the underlying debt.
9.
Bank and Other Notes Payable:
Bank and other notes payable consist of the following:
Line of Credit:
The Company has a $1,500,000 revolving line of credit that initially bore interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 1.75% to 3.0%, depending on the Company's overall leverage levels, and was to mature on May 2, 2015 with a one-year extension option. The line of credit had the ability to be expanded, depending on certain conditions, up to a total facility of $2,000,000 less the outstanding balance of the $125,000 unsecured term loan as described below.
On August 6, 2013, the Company's line of credit was amended and extended. The amended facility provides for an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 1.38% to 2.0%, depending on the Company's overall leverage level, and matures on August 6, 2018. Based on the Company's leverage level as of September 30, 2014, the borrowing rate on the facility was LIBOR plus 1.38%. In addition, the line of credit can be expanded, depending on certain conditions, up to a total facility of $2,000,000 (without giving effect to the $125,000 unsecured term loan described below).
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, borrowings under the line of credit were $410,000 and $30,000, respectively, at an average interest rate of 1.81% and 1.85%, respectively. The estimated fair value (Level 2 measurement) of the line of credit at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $387,244 and $28,214, respectively, based on a present value model using a credit interest rate spread offered to the Company for comparable debt.
Term Loan:
On December 8, 2011, the Company obtained a $125,000 unsecured term loan under the line of credit that bears interest at LIBOR plus a spread of 1.95% to 3.20%, depending on the Company's overall leverage level, and matures on December 8, 2018. Based on the Company's current leverage level as of September 30, 2014, the borrowing rate was LIBOR plus 1.95%. As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the total interest rate was 2.25% and 2.51%, respectively. The estimated fair value (Level 2 measurement) of the term loan at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $119,636 and $120,802, respectively, based on a present value model using a credit interest rate spread offered to the Company for comparable debt.
Prasada Note:
On March 29, 2013, the Company issued a $13,330 note payable that bears interest at 5.25% and matures on March 29, 2016. The note payable is collateralized by a portion of a development reimbursement agreement with the City of Surprise, Arizona. At September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the note had a balance of $11,301 and $12,537, respectively. The estimated fair value (Level 2 measurement) of the note at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was $11,699 and $13,114, respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable notes. The method for computing fair value was determined using a present value model and an interest rate that included a credit value adjustment based on the estimated value of the collateral for the underlying debt.
As of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company was in compliance with all applicable financial loan covenants.

10.
Co-Venture Arrangement:
On September 30, 2009, the Company formed a joint venture, whereby a third party acquired a 49.9% interest in Freehold Raceway Mall and Chandler Fashion Center.
As a result of the Company having certain rights under the agreement to repurchase the assets after the seventh year of the venture formation, the transaction did not qualify for sale treatment. The Company, however, is not obligated to repurchase the assets. The transaction has been accounted for as a profit-sharing arrangement, and accordingly the assets, liabilities and operations of the properties remain on the books of the Company and a co-venture obligation was established for the amount of $168,154, representing the net cash proceeds received from the third party. The co-venture obligation is increased for the allocation of income to the co-venture partner and decreased for distributions to the co-venture partner. The co-venture obligation was $75,669 and $81,515 at September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.
11. Noncontrolling Interests:
The Company allocates net income of the Operating Partnership based on the weighted average ownership interest during the period. The net income of the Operating Partnership that is not attributable to the Company is reflected in the consolidated statements of operations as noncontrolling interests. The Company adjusts the noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each period to reflect its ownership interest in the Company. The Company had a 93% ownership interest in the Operating Partnership as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013. The remaining 7% limited partnership interest as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 was owned by certain of the Company's executive officers and directors, certain of their affiliates, and other third party investors in the form of OP Units. The OP Units may be redeemed for shares of stock or cash, at the Company's option. The redemption value for each OP Unit as of any balance sheet date is the amount equal to the average of the closing price per share of the Company's common stock, par value $0.01 per share, as reported on the New York Stock Exchange for the 10 trading days ending on the respective balance sheet date. Accordingly, as of September 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the aggregate redemption value of the then-outstanding OP Units not owned by the Company was $647,988 and $587,917, respectively.
The Company issued common and preferred units of MACWH, LP in April 2005 in connection with the acquisition of the Wilmorite portfolio. The common and preferred units of MACWH, LP are redeemable at the election of the holder, the Company may redeem them for cash or shares of the Company's stock at the Company's option and they are classified as permanent equity.
Included in permanent equity are outside ownership interests in various consolidated joint ventures. The joint ventures do not have rights that require the Company to redeem the ownership interests in either cash or stock.
12.
Stockholders' Equity:
On August 17, 2012, the Company entered into an equity distribution agreement ("2012 Distribution Agreement") with a number of sales agents (the "2012 ATM Program") to issue and sell, from time to time, shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $500,000 (the “2012 ATM Shares”). Sales of the 2012 ATM Shares, could have been made in privately negotiated transactions and/or any other method permitted by law, including sales deemed to be an “at the market” offering, which includes sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made to or through a market maker other than on an exchange. The Company agreed to pay each sales agent a commission that was not to exceed, but could have been lower than, 2% of the gross proceeds of the 2012 ATM Shares sold through such sales agent under the 2012 Distribution Agreement.
During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company sold 2,961,903 shares of common stock under the 2012 ATM Program in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $177,896 and net proceeds of $175,649 after commissions and other transaction costs. During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company sold 2,456,956 shares of common stock under the 2012 ATM Program in exchange for aggregate gross proceeds of $173,011 and net proceeds of $171,102 after commissions and other transaction costs. The proceeds from the sales were used to pay down the Company's line of credit.

12. Stockholders' Equity: (Continued)

On August 20, 2014, the Company terminated and replaced the 2012 ATM Program with a new ATM Program (the "2014 ATM Program") to sell, from time to time, shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, having an aggregate offering price of up to $500,000 (the "Shares"). The terms of the 2014 ATM Program are substantially the same as the 2012 ATM Program.
The Company did not sell any shares under the ATM Programs during the nine months ended September 30, 2014.
As of September 30, 2014, $500,000 of the Shares were available to be sold under the 2014 ATM Program. The unsold 2012 ATM Shares are no longer available for issuance. Actual future sales of the Shares under the 2014 ATM Program will depend upon a variety of factors including but not limited to market conditions, the trading price of the Company's common stock and the Company's capital needs. The Company has no obligation to sell the Shares under the 2014 ATM Program.    
13.
Acquisitions:
Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls USA:
On July 22, 2011, the Company acquired the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls USA, a 517,000 square foot outlet center in Niagara Falls, New York. The purchase and sale agreement included contingent consideration payable to AWE/Talisman, the former owner of the property and a related party (See Note 16Related Party Transactions), based on the performance of the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls USA from the acquisition date through July 21, 2014 that increased the purchase price above the initial $200,000. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company paid $18,667 in full settlement of the contingent consideration liability.
Green Acres Mall:
On January 24, 2013, the Company acquired Green Acres Mall, a 1,791,000 square foot regional shopping center in Valley Stream, New York, for a purchase price of $500,000. A purchase deposit of $30,000 was funded during the year ended December 31, 2012, and the remaining $470,000 was funded upon closing of the acquisition. The cash payment made at the time of closing was provided by the placement of a mortgage note payable on the property that allowed for borrowings of up to $325,000 and from borrowings under the Company's line of credit. Concurrent with the acquisition, the Company borrowed $100,000 on the loan. On January 31, 2013, the Company exercised its option to borrow the remaining $225,000 on the loan. The acquisition was completed to acquire another prominent shopping center in the New York metropolitan area.

Green Acres Adjacent:
On April 25, 2013, the Company acquired a 19 acre parcel of land adjacent to Green Acres Mall for $22,577. The payment was provided by borrowings from the Company's line of credit. The acquisition was completed to allow for future expansion of Green Acres Mall.
Camelback Colonnade Restructuring:
On September 17, 2013, the Company’s joint venture in Camelback Colonnade was restructured. As a result of the restructuring, the Company’s ownership interest in Camelback Colonnade decreased from 73.2% to 67.5%. Prior to the restructuring, the Company had accounted for its investment in Camelback Colonnade under the equity method of accounting due to substantive participation rights held by the outside partners. Upon completion of the restructuring, these substantive participation rights were terminated and the Company obtained voting control of the joint venture (See Note 4Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures).
