Current report

Evolving political and economic events and uncertainties, including tariffs, retaliatory tariffs, international trade disputes, and immigration policies could adversely impact the businesses of our tenants and our business.

Current report

The success of the Company's tenants in operating their businesses and their corresponding ability to pay rent continue to be influenced by evolving political, economic, trade and immigration policies and macroeconomic uncertainties, and the success of the Company's tenants, in the aggregate, is important to the operating and financial success of the Company. These issues include, but are not limited to, the potential for impacts from tariffs and potential trade disputes, retaliatory actions by other countries, inflation, the cost and availability of labor, including labor shortages related to deportations or threat of deportations, increasing energy prices and interest rates, supply chain disruptions, and access to and cost of credit. Additionally, geopolitical and macroeconomic challenges, including the war involving Russia and Ukraine, the current Middle East conflicts and wars, and economic conflicts with China, as well as the slowing of its economy, could impact aspects of the U.S. economy and, therefore, consumer confidence and spending. The policies implemented by the U.S. government to address these and related issues, including changes by the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve System of its benchmark federal funds rate, increases or decreases in federal government spending, and economic sanctions and tariffs, could result in adverse impacts on the U.S. economy, including inflation, reduction in consumer confidence and spending, a slowing of growth, and potentially a recession, thereby adversely impacting the costs to our tenants of operating their businesses, demand for their products and services, and their ability to pay rent, and/or decreasing future demand for space in shopping centers, which could adversely impact occupancy rates and rents. The potential impact of current macroeconomic and geopolitical uncertainties on the Company's financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows is subject to change and continues to depend on the extent and duration of these risks and uncertainties.
