ACADIA REALTY TRUST

1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Organization

Acadia Realty Trust, (the “Trust”, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is a fully-integrated equity REIT focused on the ownership, acquisition, development, and management of retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply-constrained, densely populated metropolitan areas in the United States.

All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Trust controlled approximately 96% and 95%, respectively, of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner and is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”) and employees who have been awarded restricted Common OP Units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 13). Limited partners holding Common OP and LTIP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on aone-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Shares”). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”

As of September 30, 2024, the Company has ownership interests in 154 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through Investment Management (“Core Portfolio”). The Company also has ownership interests in 50 properties within an Investment Management platform, through which our Operating Partnership and outside institutional investors invest in primarily opportunistic and value-add retail real estate (“Investment Management”). As part of the Investment Management platform, we have active investments through the following opportunity funds, including: Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (“Fund IV”), and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund V LLC (“Fund V” and, collectively with Fund II, Fund III and Fund IV, “the Funds”). The 204 Core Portfolio and Investment Management properties primarily consist of street and urban retail and suburban shopping centers.

The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Funds and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, development, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Funds are distributed pro-rata to their respective partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a certain cumulative return (“Preferred Return”) and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership (“Promote”) and 80% to the partners or members (including the Operating Partnership). All transactions between the Funds and the Operating Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation.

The following table summarizes the general terms and Operating Partnership’s equity interests in the Funds (dollars in millions):

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The information furnished in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items.

GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2023 consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Segment Reporting

During the second quarter of 2024, the Company renamed its historical Funds segment as the Investment Management segment. No prior period information was recast and the designation change did not impact the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements. Refer to Note 12.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement”(“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. Prior to the amendment, the FASB did not provide specific authoritative guidance on the initial measurement of assets and liabilities assumed by a joint venture upon its formation. ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture to recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). ASU 2023-05 is effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected not to early adopt ASU 2023-05 and does not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07“Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 provides for additional disclosures as it relates to the Company’s segments. Additional requirements per the update include disclosures for significant segment expenses, measures of profit or loss used by the chief operating decision maker and how these measures are used to allocate resources and assess segment performance. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 will also apply to entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on its disclosures and will adopt the amendments in its December 31, 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In March 2024, the SEC issued final climate-disclosure rules to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures by public companies. With regards to financial statements, the rules requires disclosure of (i) capitalized costs, expenditures expensed, charges, and losses incurred as a result of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to applicable 1% and de minimis disclosure thresholds; (ii) capitalized costs, expenditures expensed, and losses related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates (“RECs”) if used as a material component of a company’s plans to achieve its disclosed climate-related targets or goals; and (iii) if the estimates and assumptions the Company uses to produce the financial statements were materially impacted by risks and uncertainties associated with severe weather events and other natural conditions or any disclosed climate-related targets or transition plans, a qualitative description of how the development of such estimates and assumptions was impacted. The rules are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and are to be applied prospectively. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the rules pending judicial review as a result of litigation. The Company is continuing to review the final rule and monitoring the litigation progress for possible impacts on the disclosure requirements and will adopt the required disclosures in their effective periods.

Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

2. Real Estate

The Company’s consolidated real estate is comprised of the following for the periods presented (in thousands):

Acquisitions

During thenine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company acquired the following retail properties (dollars in thousands):

(a)

Purchase price includes capitalized transaction costs.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company capitalized $0.5 million of acquisition costs in connection with the 2024 Acquisitions, which are included in Net investments in real estate on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Purchase Price Allocations

The purchase prices for the 2024 Acquisitions (excluding any properties that were acquired in development) were allocated to the acquired assets and assumed liabilities based on their estimated relative fair values at the dates of acquisition. The following table summarizes the allocation of the purchase price of properties acquired during thenine months ended September 30, 2024 (in thousands):

The Company determines the fair value of the individual components of real estate asset acquisitions primarily through calculating the “as-if vacant” value of a building, using an income approach, which relies significantly upon internally determined assumptions. The Company has determined that these estimates primarily rely on Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. The most significant assumptions used in calculating the “as-if vacant” value for acquisition activity duringthe nine months ended September 30, 2024 as follows:

The estimate of the portion of the “as-if vacant” value that is allocated to the land underlying the acquired real estate relies on Level 3 inputs and is primarily determined by reference to recent comparable transactions.

Dispositions

During thenine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company disposed of the following properties and other real estate investments:

(a)

During thenine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a $1.2 million loss related to a Fund IV property that was sold in 2019 in connection with a post-closing dispute.

As a result of the transaction, the Company deconsolidated the property and accounted for its interest under the equity method of accounting effective May 16, 2024 as it no longer controls the investment (Note 4). The Company recognized a loss on deconsolidation of $2.2 million related to transaction costs, which is included in the Loss on disposition of properties in the Condensed and Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Assets and liabilities of the properties held for sale consisted of the following:

The Company hadone property classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2023, which was transferred to Investments in real estate, at cost during the first quarter of 2024, as the Company no longer believes it is probable the asset will be disposed within the next twelve months.
