Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
NOTE 1. ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Kite Realty Group Trust (the “Parent Company”) is a publicly held REIT that, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition, development, and redevelopment of high-quality, open-air, grocery-anchored shopping centers and vibrant mixed-use assets that are primarily located in high-growth Sun Belt markets and select strategic gateway markets in the United States. The terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the Parent Company and/or the Operating Partnership.
The Operating Partnership was formed on August 16, 2004, when the Parent Company contributed properties and the net proceeds from an initial public offering (“IPO”) of shares of its common stock to the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company was organized in Maryland in 2004 to succeed in the acquisition, development, construction and real estate businesses of its predecessor. We believe the Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).
The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2025, owned approximately 97.7% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (the “General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.3% of the common partnership interests (the “Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”) were owned by the limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as one enterprise. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and revenues and expenses during the reported period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 205, Presentation of Financial Statements, certain prior year balances have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation. Specifically, all gains on sales of land parcels have been presented in a single line item, “Net gains from outlot sales,” rather than the previous presentation where it was included as a component of “Other property-related revenue” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Unless otherwise noted, all dollar amounts are stated in thousands, except share, per share, and per square foot data. Number of properties and square feet are unaudited.

(2)Standalone office properties include the Company’s headquarters at 30 South Meridian and the Carillon medical office building, which was reclassified from active redevelopment into our office portfolio in December 2024.
NOTE 2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Investment Properties
Capitalization and Depreciation
Investment properties are recorded at cost and include costs of land acquisition, development, predevelopment, construction, certain allocated overhead, tenant allowances and improvements, and interest and real estate taxes incurred during construction. Significant renovations and improvements are capitalized when they extend the useful life, increase capacity, or improve the efficiency of the asset. If a tenant vacates a space prior to the lease expiration, terminates its lease, or otherwise notifies the Company of its intent to do so, any related unamortized tenant allowances are expensed over the shortened lease period. Ordinary repairs and maintenance that do not extend the useful lives of the respective assets are expensed as incurred and included within “Property operating” expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Predevelopment costs are incurred prior to vertical construction and for certain land held for development during the due diligence phase and include contract deposits, legal and engineering, the cost of internal resources, and other professional fees related to evaluating the feasibility of developing or redeveloping a shopping center or other project. These predevelopment costs are capitalized and included within “Investment properties, at cost” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. If we determine that the completion of a development project is no longer probable, all previously incurred predevelopment costs are immediately expensed. Land is transferred to construction in progress once construction commences on the related project.
We also capitalize costs such as land acquisition, building construction, interest, real estate taxes, and the cost of personnel directly involved in the development of our properties. As a portion of a development project becomes operational, we begin depreciating a pro rata amount of the related costs.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. Buildings and improvements are depreciated over estimated original useful lives ranging from 10 to 35 years. Tenant improvements and allowances are depreciated over the term of the related lease. Equipment and fixtures are depreciated over five to 10 years. Depreciation may be accelerated for a redevelopment project, including partial demolition of an existing structure, after the asset is assessed for impairment.
The following table summarizes the composition of the Company’s investment properties as of December 31, 2025 and 2024(in thousands):
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Land, buildings and improvements | $6,938,588 | $7,591,036 |
| Construction in progress | 64,891 | 43,155 |
| Investment properties, at cost | $7,003,479 | $7,634,191 |
Management reviews our operating and development projects, land parcels, and intangible assets for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the asset may not be recoverable. This review for possible impairment requires certain assumptions, estimates, and significant judgment. Examples of situations considered to be impairment indicators for both operating properties and development projects include, but are not limited to:
a substantial decline in or continued low occupancy rate or cash flow;
expected significant declines in occupancy in the near future;
continued difficulty in leasing space;
a significant concentration of financially troubled tenants;
a reduction in the anticipated holding period;
a cost accumulation or delay in the project completion date significantly above and beyond the original development or redevelopment estimate;
a significant decrease in the market price not in line with general market trends; and
any other quantitative or qualitative events or factors deemed significant by the Company’s management or Board of Trustees.
Impairment losses for investment properties and intangible assets are measured when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the investment properties during the expected holding period are less than their carrying amounts. The evaluation of impairment is subject to certain management assumptions, including projected net operating income, anticipated holding period, expected capital expenditures, and the capitalization rate used to estimate the property’s residual value. Impairment losses are recorded as the excess of the carrying value over the estimated fair value of the asset. Our impairment review for land and development properties assumes we have the intent and ability to complete the developments or projected uses for the land parcels. If we determine those plans will not be completed or our assumptions with respect to operating assets are not realized, an impairment loss may be appropriate.
Investment Properties Held for Sale
The Company classifies an operating property as held for sale only when the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition and for which management believes it is probable that a sale of the property will be completed within one year, among other factors. An operating property classified as held for sale is carried at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell. Depreciation and amortization are suspended during the held-for-sale period. Two properties are classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2025 andone property was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2024.
Acquisition of Investment Properties
Real estate assets are recognized on our consolidated balance sheets at historical cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Upon acquisition of real estate operating properties, we estimate the fair value of acquired identifiable tangible assets (consisting of land, buildings and improvements) and identified intangible assets and liabilities (consisting of above- market and below-market leases and in-place leases), assumed debt, and any noncontrolling interest in the acquiree at the date of acquisition based upon an evaluation of information and estimates available at the acquisition date. Based on these estimates, we record the estimated fair value to the applicable assets and liabilities. In making estimates of fair value, several sources are used, including information obtained as a result of pre-acquisition due diligence, marketing, and leasing activities. The estimates of fair value were determined to have primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as defined below.
Fair value is determined for tangible assets and intangible assets and liabilities, including:
the fair value of the building on an as-if-vacant basis and the fair value of the land determined either by comparable market data, real estate tax assessments, independent appraisals, or other relevant data;
above-market and below-market in-place lease values for acquired properties, which are based on the present value (using an interest rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to the in-place leases and (ii) management’s estimate of fair market lease rates for the corresponding in-place leases, measured over the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases. Any below-market renewal options are also considered in the in-place lease values. The capitalized above-market and below-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of, or addition to, rental income over the term of the leases. Should a tenant vacate, terminate its lease, or otherwise notify us of its intent to do so, the unamortized portion of the lease intangibles would be charged or credited to income as applicable;
the value of having a lease in place at the acquisition date. We use independent and internal sources for our estimates to determine the respective in-place lease values. Our estimates of value use methods similar to those used by independent appraisers. Factors we consider in our analysis include an estimate of costs to execute similar leases, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions, and foregone costs related to the reimbursement of property operating expenses, and fair market rent received during the estimated lease-up period as if the space were vacant. The value of in-place leases is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective leases; and
the fair value of any assumed financing that is determined to have above- or below-market terms. We use third-party and independent sources for our estimates to determine the respective fair value of each mortgage and other indebtedness, including related derivative instruments, assumed. The fair market value of each is amortized to interest expense over the remaining initial terms of the respective instruments.
We also consider whether there is any value to in-place leases that have a related customer relationship intangible value. Characteristics we consider in determining these values include the nature and extent of existing business relationships with the tenant, growth prospects for developing new business with the tenant, the tenant’s credit quality, and expectations of lease renewals, among other factors. To date, we have not developed a tenant relationship that we consider to have a current intangible value.
Consolidation and Investments in Joint Ventures
The accompanying financial statements are presented on a consolidated basis and include all accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, the taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) of the Operating Partnership, subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that are controlled, and any variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary. In general, a VIE is a corporation, partnership, trust, or any other legal structure used for business purposes that either (a) has equity investors that do not provide sufficient financial resources for the entity to support its activities, (b) does not have equity investors with voting rights, or (c) has equity investors whose votes are disproportionate from their economics, and substantially all of the activities are conducted on behalf of the investor with disproportionately fewer voting rights.
The Operating Partnership accounts for properties that are owned by joint ventures in accordance with the consolidation guidance by evaluating each joint venture and determining first whether to follow the VIE or the voting interest entity (“VOE”) model. Once the appropriate consolidation model is identified, the Operating Partnership then evaluates whether it should consolidate the joint venture. Under the VIE model, the Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when it has (i) the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance and (ii) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Under the VOE model, the
Operating Partnership consolidates an entity when (i) it controls the entity through ownership of a majority voting interest if the entity is not a limited partnership or (ii) it controls the entity through its ability to remove the other partners or owners in the entity, at its discretion, when the entity is a limited partnership.
In determining whether to consolidate a VIE with the Operating Partnership, we consider all relationships between the Operating Partnership and the applicable VIE, including development and management agreements and other contractual arrangements, in determining whether we have the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s performance. As of December 31, 2025, we owned investments intwo consolidated joint ventures that were VIEs in which the partners did not have substantive participating rights, and we were the primary beneficiary. As of December 31, 2025, these consolidated VIEs had mortgage debt totaling $107.3 million, which was secured by assets of the VIEs totaling $221.6 million. The Operating Partnership guarantees the mortgage debt of these VIEs.
The Operating Partnership is considered a VIE, as the limited partners do not hold kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership as it is the primary beneficiary in accordance with the VIE model. We use the nature-of-distribution approach for purposes of determining whether distributions should be classified as either a return on investment, which would be included in operating activities, or a return of investment, which would be included in investing activities in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows. Under this approach, we assess the nature of all distributions to determine the appropriate classification.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
We consider all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of 90 days or less to be cash and cash equivalents. From time to time, such investments may temporarily be held in accounts that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (“FDIC”) and the Securities Investor Protection Corporation (“SIPC”) insurance limits. The Company periodically assesses the credit risk associated with these financial institutions and believes the risk of loss is minimal.
The following table summarizes our total cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash as presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023(in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Cash and cash equivalents | $36,761 | $128,056 | $36,413 |
| Restricted cash and escrow deposits | 441,605 | 5,271 | 5,017 |
| Restricted cash associated with investment property held for sale | 25 | 225 | — |
| Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash | $478,391 | $133,552 | $41,430 |
Restricted Cash and Escrow Deposits
Restricted cash and escrow deposits consist of cash held for real estate taxes, property maintenance, insurance, and other requirements at specific properties as required by lending institutions, certain municipalities, or other agreements, as well as funds held in escrow forpotential Code Section 1031 tax-deferred exchange transactions (“1031 Exchanges”).
Short-Term Deposits
In January 2024, the Company invested $265.0 million in short-term deposits at Goldman Sachs Bank USA (“Goldman Sachs”) and KeyBank National Association (“KeyBank”). These short-term deposits earned interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.34% with a maturity date of July 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company earned $6.3 million of interest income on the January 2024 deposits, which is recorded within “Other income, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
In August 2024, the Company invested $350.0 million in short-term deposits at Goldman Sachs and KeyBank. These short-term deposits earned interest at a weighted average interest rate of 5.05% with a maturity date of February 2025. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company earned $2.5 million and $6.6 million, respectively, of interest income on the August 2024 deposits, which is recorded within “Other income, net” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Fair Value Measurements
We follow the framework established under ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures, for measuring the fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis but only in certain circumstances, such as a business combination or upon determination of an impairment.
Assets and liabilities recorded at fair value in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets are categorized based on the inputs to the valuation techniques as follows:
Level 1 fair value inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments to which we have access.
Level 2 fair value inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for similar instruments, either directly or indirectly, and appropriately consider counterparty creditworthiness in the valuation.
Level 3 fair value inputs reflect our best estimate of inputs and assumptions market participants would use in pricing an instrument at the measurement date. The inputs are unobservable in the market and significant to the valuation estimate.
In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based upon inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest-level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. Our assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.
Note 3, “Acquisitions,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded for wholly owned asset acquisitions. Level 3 inputs to these transactions include our estimations of net rental rates of retail anchors and small shop spaces, capitalization rates, and disposal values. Note 4, “Dispositions and Impairment Charges,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of the fair values recorded when we recognized impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. Level 2 inputs to these transactions include the expected sales price from an executed sales contract, and Level 3 inputs consist of our estimation of capitalization rates. Note 9, “Mortgage and Other Indebtedness,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements includes a discussion of the estimated fair value of fixed- and variable-rate debt, which are estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs. As discussed in Note 10, “Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Other Comprehensive Income,” to the accompanying consolidated financial statements, we have determined that derivative valuations are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, escrows and deposits, and other working capital balances approximate fair value.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company accounts for its derivative financial instruments at fair value calculated in accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of the derivatives are accounted for depending on their use and whether they qualify for hedge accounting. We use derivative instruments such as interest rate swaps or interest rate locks to mitigate interest rate risk on the related financial instruments.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges are recorded within “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and amortized over the underlying term of the hedged transaction, while any ineffective portion of a derivative’s change in fair value is recognized immediately in earnings. For derivative contracts designated as fair value hedges, the gain or loss on the derivative is included within “Mortgage and other indebtedness, net” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets. We include the gain or loss on the hedged item in the same account as the offsetting gain or loss on the related derivative contract. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, all of our derivative financial instruments qualify for hedge accounting.
Revenue Recognition
As a lessor of real estate assets, the Company retains substantially all of the risks and benefits of ownership and accounts for its leases as operating leases.
Contractual minimum base rent, percentage rent, and expense reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance expenses, insurance, and real estate taxes are our principal sources of revenue. Base minimum rents are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective leases. Certain lease agreements contain provisions that provide for additional rents based upon a tenant’s sales volume (contingent overage rent). Overage rent is recognized when tenants achieve the specified sales targets as defined in their lease agreements and is included within “Rental income” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss). If we determine that collectibility is probable, we recognize income from rentals based on the methodology described above. If we determine that collectibility is not probable, we recognize income only to the extent that cash has been received from the tenant. We have accounts receivable due from tenants and are subject to the risk of tenant defaults and bankruptcies, which may affect the collection of outstanding receivables. These receivables are reduced for credit loss, which is recognized as a reduction to rental income. We regularly evaluate the collectibility of lease-related receivables by analyzing past-due account balances and consider such factors as the credit quality of the tenant, historical write-off experience, tenant creditworthiness, and current economic trends when evaluating the collectibility of rental income. Although we estimate uncollectible receivables and provide for them through charges against income, actual experience may differ from those estimates.
We recognize the sale of real estate when control transfers to the buyer. As part of our ongoing business strategy, we will, from time to time, sell properties, land parcels, and outlots, some of which are ground-leased to tenants. Net gains realized on outlot sales were $6.1 million, $4.4 million, and $1.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and are presented in “Net gains from outlot sales” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Tenant and Other Receivables and Allowance for Uncollectible Accounts
Tenant receivables consist primarily of billed minimum rent, accrued and billed tenant reimbursements, and accrued straight-line rent. The Company generally does not require specific collateral from its tenants other than corporate or personal guarantees. Other receivables consist primarily of amounts due from municipalities and tenants for non-rental revenue-related activities.
An allowance for uncollectible accounts, including future credit losses of the accrued straight-line rent receivables, is maintained for estimated losses resulting from the inability of certain tenants to meet contractual obligations under their lease agreements. Accounts are written off when, in the opinion of management, the balance is deemed uncollectible. The provision for revenues deemed uncollectible represented 0.8%,0.6%, and 0.3% of total revenues in each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
Concentration of Credit Risk
We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regard to our cash and cash equivalents. We place cash and temporary cash investments with high-credit-quality financial institutions. From time to time, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of insurance limits. In addition, our leases with tenants potentially subject us to a concentration of credit risk related to our accounts receivable and revenue.
For the year ended December 31, 2025, the percentage of the Company’s revenue recognized from tenants leasing space in the states where the majority of our portfolio is concentrated, which includes Texas, Florida, Virginia, New York, and Indiana, was as follows:
| Texas | 26.1% |
|---|---|
| Florida | 11.4% |
| Virginia | 7.5% |
| New York | 7.1% |
| Indiana | 6.7% |
Income Taxes and REIT Compliance
Parent Company
The Parent Company has been organized and operated, and it intends to continue to operate, in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to U.S. federal income tax on the earnings that it distributes to the extent it distributes its “REIT taxable income” (determined before the deduction for dividends paid and excluding net capital gains) to shareholders of the Parent Company and meets certain other requirements on a recurring basis. To the extent that it satisfies this distribution requirement but distributes less than 100% of its taxable income, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates. REITs are subject to a number of organizational and operational requirements. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate income tax rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. Additionally, we may also be subject to certain taxes enacted by the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022 that are applicable to non-REIT corporations, including the non-deductible 1% excise tax on certain stock repurchases. We may also be subject to certain U.S. federal, state, and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income even if the Parent Company does qualify as a REIT. The Operating Partnership intends to continue to make distributions to the Parent Company in amounts sufficient to assist the Parent Company in adhering to REIT requirements and maintaining its REIT status.
We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC and IWR Protective Corporation as TRSs of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as TRSs in the future. This election enables us to receive income and provide services that would otherwise be impermissible for a REIT. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are established for temporary differences between the financial reporting bases and the tax bases of assets and liabilities at the tax rates expected to be in effect when the temporary differences reverse. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance if it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company recognizes the effect of income tax positions only if those positions are more likely than not to be sustained. Recognized income tax positions are measured at the largest amount that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. Changes in recognition or measurement are reflected in the period in which the change in judgment occurs. The Company records interest related to unrecognized tax benefits within “Interest expense” and penalties within “General, administrative and other” expenses in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
Our tax return for the year ended December 31, 2025 has not been filed as of the filing date of this Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership. The taxable information presented for our dividends paid in 2025 is based upon management’s estimate. Consequently, the taxable nature of dividends is subject to change. The following table summarizes the tax characterization of the dividends paid by the Parent Company for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Ordinary income | 83.2% | 96.4% | 90.6% |
| Return of capital | 0.0% | 0.0% | 0.0% |
| Capital gains | 16.8% | 3.6% | 9.4% |
| 100.0% | 100.0% | 100.0% | |
Operating Partnership
The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our TRSs, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership’s partners. Accordingly, the only U.S. federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with the TRSs.
Noncontrolling Interests
We report the non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in subsidiaries as equity, and the amount of consolidated net income attributable to these noncontrolling interests is set forth separately in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The following table summarizes the non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023(in thousands):
| Year Ended December 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
| Noncontrolling interests balance as of January 1, | $1,893 | $2,430 | $5,370 |
| Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests, excludingredeemable noncontrolling interests | 311 | 280 | 256 |
| Distributions to noncontrolling interests(1) | (284) | (817) | (3,196) |
| Noncontrolling interests balance as of December 31, | $1,920 | $1,893 | $2,430 |
(1)During the year ended December 31, 2023, we received a $3.2 million distribution from excess proceeds related to a third-party financing.
Noncontrolling Interests – Joint Venture
Prior to the merger with RPAI in October 2021, RPAI entered into a joint venture related to the development, ownership, and operation of the multifamily rental portion of the expansion project at One Loudoun Downtown – Pads G & H. The Company owns 90% of the joint venture.
Under terms defined in the joint venture agreement, after construction completion and stabilization of the development project (as defined in the joint venture agreement), the Company has the ability to call, and the joint venture partner has the ability to put to the Company, subject to certain conditions, the joint venture partner’s interest in the joint venture at fair value. As of December 31, 2025, the conditions for exercising the put and call options have been met, but neither the Company nor the joint venture partner has exercised their respective options.
The joint venture is considered a VIE primarily because the Company’s joint venture partner does not have substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. The Company is considered the primary beneficiary, as it has a controlling financial interest in the joint venture. As such, the Company has consolidated this joint venture and presented the joint venture partner’s interests as noncontrolling interests.
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests – Limited Partners
Limited Partner Units are redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. We classify redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership outside of permanent equity in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets because we may be required to pay cash to holders of Limited Partner Units upon redemption of their interests in the Operating Partnership or deliver registered shares upon their conversion. The carrying amount of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership is reflected at the greater of historical book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership exceeded the historical book value, and the balances were accordingly adjusted to redemption value.
We allocate net operating results of the Operating Partnership after noncontrolling interests in the consolidated properties based on the partners’ respective weighted average ownership interests. We adjust the redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership at the end of each reporting period to reflect their interests in the Operating Partnership or redemption value. This adjustment is reflected in our shareholders’ and Parent Company’s equity. For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the weighted average interests of the Parent Company and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership were as follows:
| Year Ended December 31, | |||

| Limited partners’ weighted average interests in the Operating Partnership | 2.1% | 1.7% | 1.4% |
As of December 31, 2025, the Parent Company’s interest and the limited partners’ redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.7% and 2.3%, respectively. As of December 31, 2024, the Parent Company’s interest and the limited partners’ redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 98.1% and 1.9%, respectively.
Concurrent with the Parent Company’s IPO and related formation transactions, certain individuals received Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership in exchange for their interests in certain properties. The limited partners have the right to redeem Limited Partner Units for cash or, at the Parent Company’s election, common shares of the Parent Company in an amount equal to the market value of an equivalent number of common shares of the Parent Company at the time of redemption. Such common shares must be registered, which is not fully in the Parent Company’s control. Therefore, the limited partners’ interest is not reflected within permanent equity. The Parent Company also has the right to redeem the Limited Partner Units directly from the limited partner in exchange for either cash in the amount specified above or a number of its common shares equal to the number of Limited Partner Units being redeemed.
There were 4,849,588 and 4,192,597 Limited Partner Units outstanding as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The increase in Limited Partner Units outstanding from December 31, 2024 is due to non-cash compensation awards granted to our executive officers in the form of Limited Partner Units.
The redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 were as follows(in thousands):

Effects of Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2024-03, Income Statement—Reporting Comprehensive Income—Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This guidance requires public entities to disclose, in a tabular format, the amounts of certain natural expenses included within relevant expense captions presented on the face of the income statement and provide additional disclosures about selling expenses. The new disclosure requirements are effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026 and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027, with early adoption permitted, and may be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements have been excluded, as they are either not relevant to the Company or they are not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3. ACQUISITIONS
Asset Acquisitions
The Company closed on the following wholly owned and unconsolidated asset acquisitions during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023(dollars in thousands):
| Date | Property Name | Ownership Interest | MSA | Property Type | RetailSquare Footage | AcquisitionPrice |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| January 15, 2025 | Village Commons | 100% | Miami | Multi-tenant retail | 170,976 | $68,400 |

(1)Legacy West also contains 443,553 square feet of office space and 782 multifamily units.
The above acquisitions were funded using a combination of available cash on hand, proceeds from dispositions, and borrowings on the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit. The fair values of the real estate and other assets acquired were primarily determined using the income approach, which required us to make assumptions about market leasing rates, tenant-related costs, discount rates, and disposal rates. The estimates of fair value primarily relied upon Level 2 and Level 3 inputs, as previously defined.
In March 2025, the Company entered into a joint venture (the “Legacy West Joint Venture”), and on April 28, 2025, the joint venture acquired Legacy West for a gross purchase price of $785.0 million, including the assumption of $304.0 million of debt with an interest rate of 3.80%. The Company owns 52% of the equity in the Legacy West Joint Venture, which is being accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The Company’s share of the purchase price is $408.2 million, and the acquisition was initially funded with borrowings of $255.0 million on the Company’s unsecured revolving line of credit. See Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for details of the Legacy West Joint Venture.
The following table summarizes the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed for the wholly owned asset acquisitions completed during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023(in thousands):

(1)The weighted average remaining life of leases at the acquired properties is approximately 6.1 years,6.1 years, and 6.2 years for asset acquisitions completed during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The range of the most significant Level 3 assumptions used in determining the value of the real estate and related assets acquired through wholly owned asset acquisitions are as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | 2023 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Net rental rate per square foot – Retail Anchors | $15.50 | $18.75 to $19.00 | N/A |

During the three months ended December 31, 2025, the Company sold a parcel and the related building to a tenant at Northpointe Plaza in the Spokane MSA for a sales price of $4.0 million and recorded a net gain of $2.6 million on the sale.
During the three months ended September 30, 2025, the Company sold approximatelyone acre of land at Hamilton Crossing Centre, a redevelopment property in the Indianapolis MSA, for a sales price of $0.8 million and recorded a net loss of $0.1 million on the sale. In addition, the Company sold a land parcel at Lakewood Towne Center in the Seattle MSA for a sales price of $13.7 million and recorded a net gain of $6.1 million, which is recorded within “Net gains from outlot sales” in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).
During the three months ended June 30, 2025, the Company contributed three previously wholly owned properties, Denton Crossing, Parkway Towne Crossing, and The Landing at Tradition, valued at $233.0 million in the aggregate to a newly formed joint venture (the “Seed Asset Joint Venture”) (see Note 5 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements for further details), and received $112.1 million in gross proceeds for the 48% interest in the joint venture acquired by the joint venture partner.
The Company calculated the gain on sale from the Seed Asset Joint Venture in accordance with ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and ASC 610-20, Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, which requires full gain recognition upon deconsolidation of a nonfinancial asset. The gain on sale was calculated as the fair value of each of thethree properties (based upon the sales price for the 48% interest acquired by the joint venture partner) less the aggregate carrying value. The Company’s retained 52% equity method investment was recorded at fair value as of the transaction date, which equaled $120.9 million.

There were no discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 as none of the dispositions or planned dispositions represented a strategic shift that has had, or will have, a material effect on our operations or financial results.
As of December 31, 2025, in connection with the preparation and review of the fourth quarter 2025 financial statements and in conjunction with classifying Coram Plaza as held for sale, we evaluated Coram Plaza for impairment and recorded a $12.5 million impairment charge based upon the terms and conditions of an executed contract. As of December 31, 2025, the carrying value of Coram Plaza was $24.9 million and its estimated fair value was $12.5 million, less estimated selling costs of $0.1 million; therefore, we recorded a $12.5 million impairment charge on Coram Plaza during the three months ended December 31, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, in connection with the preparation and review of the third quarter 2025 financial statements, we evaluated the Carillon medical office building, which is included in our office portfolio, and the retail portion of Carillon for impairment and recorded impairment charges totaling $22.3 million based upon the terms and conditions of purchase offers received. A decrease in market price along with a shortening of the expected future hold period are considered impairment indicators; therefore, we assessed the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets of Carillon using the held and used approach, noting the carrying value was not recoverable. As of September 30, 2025, the carrying value of the Carillon medical office building was $35.7 million and its estimated fair value was $24.0 million; therefore, we recorded an $11.7 million impairment charge on the Carillon medical office building during the three months ended September 30, 2025. As of September 30, 2025, the carrying value of the retail portion of Carillon was $36.1 million and its estimated fair value was $25.5 million; therefore, we recorded a $10.6 million impairment charge on the retail portion of Carillon during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, in connection with the preparation and review of the third quarter 2025 financial statements and in conjunction with continuing to classify City Center as held for sale, we evaluated City Center for impairment and recorded a $17.0 million impairment charge based upon the terms and conditions of purchase offers received. We assessed the recoverability of City Center by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets of $71.5 million as of September 30, 2025 to its estimated fair value of $55.0 million, less estimated selling costs of $0.5 million; therefore, we recorded a $17.0 million impairment charge on City Center during the three months ended September 30, 2025.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, in connection with the preparation and review of the second quarter 2024 financial statements and in conjunction with classifying City Center as held for sale as of June 30, 2024, we recorded a $66.2 million impairment charge on City Center due to changes in the facts and circumstances underlying the Company’s expected future hold period of the property. We determined the impairment amount by comparing the carrying value of long-lived assets of $135.1 million as of June 30, 2024 to its estimated fair value of $69.6 million, which was determined using the income approach, less estimated selling costs of $0.7 million. The income approach involves discounting the estimated income stream and reversion (presumed sale) value of a property over an estimated hold period to a present value at a risk-adjusted rate. We used capitalization rates as a significant assumption in the valuation model, which are considered to be Level 3 inputs within the fair value hierarchy. We applied capitalization rates ranging from 6.0% to 15.0% to property income streams based upon the risk profile of the respective tenants and market rent of the leasable space. Based on this analysis, we recorded a $66.2 million impairment charge on City Center during the year ended December 31, 2024.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, in connection with the preparation and review of the third quarter 2023 financial statements, we recorded a $0.5 million impairment charge in connection with the sale of Eastside, a 43,640 square foot multi-tenant retail property in the Dallas/Ft. Worth MSA, as a result of a change in the expected hold period. We recorded the asset at the lower of cost or fair value less estimated costs to sell, which was approximately $14.1 million. The estimated fair value of Eastside was based upon the expected sales price from an executed sales contract and determined to be a Level 3 input within the fair value hierarchy. Eastside was sold on October 24, 2023 for a gross sales price of $14.4 million.

The Company and our joint venture partners both have substantive participating rights over major decisions that impact the economics and operations of the joint ventures. The Company has the ability to exercise significant influence but does not have financial or operating control over these investments, and as a result, the Company accounts for these investments pursuant to the equity method of accounting. Under the equity method, the net equity investment of the Company is reflected in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets, and the Company’s share of net income or loss from each unconsolidated joint venture is included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income (loss).

AO LTIP Units
During the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s executive officers exercised 485,593 and 551,817 AO LTIP Units, respectively, which were previously granted in connection with the Company’s annual review of executive compensation. No AO LTIP Units were granted or exercised during the year ended December 31, 2025. AO LTIP Units are designed to have economics similar to stock options and allow the recipient, subject to vesting requirements, to realize value above a threshold level as of the grant date of the award (the “Participation Threshold”). The value of vested AO LTIP Units is realized through conversion into a number of vested LTIP Units in the Operating Partnership determined on the basis of how much the value of a common share of the Company has increased over the Participation Threshold.
The AO LTIP Units became exercisable and convertible into vested LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership after they became vested AO LTIP Units. The awards of AO LTIP Units were subject to both time-based and stock price performance-based vesting requirements. Subject to the terms of the award agreements, the AO LTIP Units vested and became fully exercisable as of the date that both of the following requirements had been met: (i) the grantee remains in continuous service from the grant date through the third anniversary of the grant date; and (ii) at any time during thefive-year period following the grant date for awards granted in 2019 and at any time during the period beginning in the second year and ending at the end of the fifth year following the grant date for awards granted in 2020 and 2021, the reported closing price per common share of the Company appreciates at least 20% for awards granted in 2019 and at least 15% for awards granted in 2020 and 2021 over the applicable Participation Threshold per AO LTIP Unit for a minimum of 20 consecutive trading days.
The AO LTIP Units were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation, and the resulting compensation expense was amortized over a period ofthree tofive years. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, the Company recognized compensation expense for the AO LTIP Units of $0.1 million, $0.8 million, and $1.7 million, respectively.
Special Long-Term Equity Award
In January 2022, the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Trustees granted a total of 363,883 LTIP Units to the Company’s named executive officers as a special long-term equity award related to the October 2021 merger with RPAI, which were subject to both performance and service conditions. The LTIP Units granted were subject to an approximate three-year performance and service period, from October 23, 2021 through December 31, 2024, with the following performance components: (i) cumulative annualized net operating income for executed new leases from October 1, 2021 to December 31, 2024, which was weighted at 60%; (ii) post-merger cash general and administrative expense synergies achieved as of the end of the performance period, which was weighted at 20%; and (iii) same property net operating income margin improvement over the performance period, which was weighted at 20%. Overall performance was further subject to an absolute total shareholder return modifier that could increase (or decrease) the total number of LTIP Units that were eligible to vest by up to 25% (not to exceed the maximum number of LTIP Units). In February 2025, a total of 363,883 LTIP Units were granted to the Company’s named executive officers related to the special long-term equity award. Distributions accrued during the performance period and were paid only on LTIP Units that vested at the conclusion of the performance period, which totaled $1.0 million and were settled in cash at such time.

Private Placement Senior Unsecured Notes
In October 2021, in connection with the merger with Retail Properties of America, Inc. (“RPAI”), the Operating Partnership entered into a number of assumption agreements pursuant to which the Operating Partnership assumed all of RPAI’s obligations under RPAI’s existing note purchase agreements related to an aggregate of $450.0 million in principal of privately placed senior unsecured notes. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company repaid the $149.6 million principal balance of the 4.58% senior unsecured notes that matured on June 30, 2024. In addition, in August 2015, the Operating Partnership entered into a note purchase agreement in connection with the issuance of $250.0 million of senior unsecured notes at a blended interest rate of 4.41% and an average maturity of 9.8 years (collectively, the “Private Placement Notes”). During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repaid the $80.0 million principal balance of the 4.47% senior unsecured notes that matured on September 10, 2025 (the “Notes Due September 2025”). During the year ended December 31, 2023, the Company repaid the $95.0 million principal balance of the 4.23% senior unsecured notes that matured on September 10, 2023.
Each series of Private Placement Notes requires semi-annual interest payments each year until maturity. The Operating Partnership may prepay at any time all or, from time to time, any part of any series of the Private Placement Notes in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of such series of the Private Placement Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid plus a make-whole amount (as defined in the applicable note purchase agreement). The make-whole amount is equal to the excess, if any, of the discounted value of the remaining scheduled payments with respect to the Private Placement Notes being prepaid over the amount of such Private Placement Notes.
Each note purchase agreement contains customary financial maintenance covenants, including a maximum total leverage ratio, secured and unsecured leverage ratios, and a minimum interest coverage ratio. Each note purchase agreement also contains restrictive covenants that restrict the ability of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries to, among other things, enter into transactions with affiliates, merge or consolidate, transfer assets, or incur liens. Further, each note purchase agreement contains customary events of default, including in relation to non-payment, breach of covenants, defaults under certain other indebtedness, judgment defaults, and bankruptcy events. In the case of an event of default, the holders of the Private Placement Notes may, among other remedies, accelerate the payment of all obligations.
Publicly Placed Senior Unsecured Notes
In June 2025, the Company completed a public offering of $300.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.20% senior unsecured notes due 2032 (the “Notes Due 2032”). The Notes Due 2032 were priced at 99.513% of the principal amount to yield 5.281% to maturity and will mature on August 15, 2032, unless earlier redeemed. The proceeds were used to repay the $150.0 million unsecured term loan that was scheduled to mature on July 17, 2026 (the “$150 M Term Loan”), borrowings on the Company’s revolving line of credit, and the Notes Due September 2025.
In August 2024, the Operating Partnership completed a public offering of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 4.95% senior unsecured notes due 2031 (the “Notes Due 2031”). The Notes Due 2031 were priced at 99.328% of the principal amount to yield 5.062% to maturity and will mature on December 15, 2031, unless earlier redeemed. The proceeds were used to repay the $350.0 million principal balance of the 4.00% senior unsecured notes that matured on March 15, 2025 and for general corporate purposes.
In January 2024, the Operating Partnership completed a public offering of $350.0 million in aggregate principal amount of 5.50% senior unsecured notes due 2034 (the “Notes Due 2034”). The Notes Due 2034 were priced at 98.670% of the principal amount to yield 5.673% to maturity and will mature on March 1, 2034, unless earlier redeemed. The proceeds were used to repay the $149.6 million principal balance of the 4.58% senior unsecured notes that matured on June 30, 2024, the $120.0 million unsecured term loan that matured on July 17, 2024 (the “$120 M Term Loan”), and for general corporate purposes.
In October 2021, in connection with the merger with RPAI, the Operating Partnership (as successor by merger to RPAI) assumed all of RPAI’s outstanding $750.0 million aggregate principal of publicly placed senior unsecured notes. In addition, the Operating Partnership completed a $300.0 million public offering of 4.00% senior unsecured notes in September 2016 (collectively, the “Public Placement Notes”). The Public Placement Notes require semi-annual interest payments each year until maturity.
The Public Placement Notes are the direct, senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and rank equally in right of payment with all of its existing and future unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Operating Partnership may redeem the Public Placement Notes at its option and in its sole discretion, at any time or from time to time, prior tothree months prior to the respective maturity date (such date, the “Par Call Date”), at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the applicable Public Placement Notes being redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest and a “make- whole” premium calculated in accordance with the indenture. Redemptions on or after the respective Par Call Date are not subject to the addition of a “make-whole” premium.
Exchangeable Senior Notes
In March 2021, the Operating Partnership issued $175.0 million aggregate principal amount of 0.75% exchangeable senior notes that mature in April 2027 (the “Exchangeable Notes”). The Exchangeable Notes are governed by an indenture between the Operating Partnership, the Company, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Exchangeable Notes were sold in the U.S. only to accredited investors pursuant to an exemption from the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and subsequently resold to qualified institutional investors pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act. The net proceeds from the offering of the Exchangeable Notes were approximately $169.7 million after deducting the underwriting fees and other expenses paid by the Company. The Exchangeable Notes bear interest at a rate of 0.75% per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears, and will mature on April 1, 2027. During each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we recognized approximately $1.3 million of interest expense related to the Exchangeable Notes.
Prior to January 1, 2027, the Exchangeable Notes are exchangeable into cash up to the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes exchanged and, if applicable, cash or common shares or a combination thereof only upon certain circumstances and during certain periods. On or after January 1, 2027, the Exchangeable Notes will be exchangeable into cash up to the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes exchanged and, if applicable, cash or common shares or a combination thereof at the option of the holders at any time prior to the close of business on the second scheduled trading day preceding the maturity date. The initial exchange rate was 39.6628 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of Exchangeable Notes, which was equivalent to an initial exchange price of approximately $25.21 per common share and an exchange premium of approximately 25% based upon the closing price of $20.17 per common share on March 17, 2021. The exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest. As of December 31, 2025, the exchange rate of the Exchangeable Notes is 41.8881 common shares per $1,000 of the principal amount due to adjustments related to dividends paid.
The Operating Partnership may redeem the Exchangeable Notes at its option, in whole or in part, on any business day on or after April 5, 2025, if the last reported sale price of the common shares has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 consecutive trading day period ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Operating Partnership provides notice of redemption at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Exchangeable Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the redemption date.
In connection with the Exchangeable Notes, the Operating Partnership entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions (the “Capped Call Transactions”) with certain of the initial purchasers of the Exchangeable Notes or their respective affiliates. The Capped Call Transactions initially cover, subject to anti-dilution adjustments substantially similar to those applicable to the Exchangeable Notes, the number of common shares underlying the Exchangeable Notes. The Capped Call Transactions are generally expected to reduce the potential dilution to holders of common shares upon exchange of the Exchangeable Notes. The cap price of the Capped Call Transactions was initially approximately $30.26, which represented a premium of approximately 50% over the last reported sale price of our common shares on March 17, 2021, and is subject to anti-dilution adjustments under the terms of the Capped Call Transactions. We incurred $9.8 million of costs related to the Capped Call Transactions, which are included within “Additional paid-in capital” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

(2)As of December 31, 2024, $250,000 of SOFR-based variable rate debt had been swapped to a fixed rate of 2.99% plus a credit spread based on a ratings grid ranging from 0.75% to 1.60% through October 24, 2025. The applicable credit spread was 0.95% as of December 31, 2024. The maturity date of the term loan may be extended byone one-year period at the Operating Partnership’s election, subject to certain conditions.
(3)As of December 31, 2025, $150,000 of the $300,000 SOFR-based variable rate debt has been swapped to a fixed rate of 1.68% plus a credit spread based on a ratings grid ranging from 0.75% to 1.60% through July 17, 2026. The applicable credit spread was 0.85% as of December 31, 2025. The interest rate shown is the weighted average rate as of December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, $300,000 of SOFR-based variable rate debt had been swapped to a fixed rate of 2.47% plus a credit spread based on a ratings grid ranging from 1.15% to 2.20% through August 1, 2025. The applicable credit spread was 1.25% as of December 31, 2024.
(4)The revolving line of credit can be extended for eitherone one-year period or up totwo six-month periods at the Company’s election, subject to (i) customary representations and warranties, including, but not limited to, the absence of an event of default as defined in the unsecured credit agreement and (ii) payment of an extension fee equal to 0.075% of the revolving line of credit capacity.
Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility
In October 2024, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company entered into the Third Amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Sixth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 8, 2021 (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”), with a syndicate of financial institutions to provide for an unsecured revolving credit facility aggregating $1.1 billion (the “Revolving Facility”) and aseven-year $300.0 million unsecured term loan that matures in July 2029 (the “$300 M Term Loan”). Under the Credit Agreement, the Operating Partnership has the option, subject to certain customary conditions, to increase the Revolving Facility and/or incur additional term loans up to a maximum aggregate amount not to exceed $2.0 billion. The Revolving Facility matures on October 3, 2028, which maturity date may be extended for eitherone one-year period or up totwo six-month periods at the Operating Partnership’s option, subject to certain conditions. The Revolving Facility had an outstanding balance of $85.0 million as of December 31, 2025. No amounts were outstanding as of December 31, 2024.
Borrowings under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate per annum equal to SOFR plus a margin based on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively, plus a facility fee based on the Operating Partnership’s leverage ratio or credit rating, respectively. In July 2025, the Operating Partnership, as borrower, and the Company entered into the Fourth Amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement to, among other things, eliminate an additional 0.10%SOFR spread adjustment. The Revolving Facility is currently priced on the leverage-based pricing grid. In accordance with the Credit Agreement, the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resets quarterly based on the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end. The Company may irrevocably elect to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid at any time. As of December 31, 2025, making such an election would have resulted in a lower interest rate; however, the Company has not made the election to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid. As specified in the Credit Amendment, in the event that the Company so elects to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid, the Company has the ability to obtain more favorable pricing in certain circumstances when its total leverage ratio is (x) less than or equal to 35.0% or (y) greater than 35.0% but less than or equal to 37.5% with respect to not more than one fiscal quarter following a period in which the condition described in clause (x)
was satisfied (the “Leverage Toggle”). The Credit Amendment also includes an adjustment to the sustainability-linked pricing provisions that allows the otherwise applicable interest rate margin to be reduced by up totwo basis points if certain greenhouse gas emission reduction targets are achieved. The greenhouse gas emission reduction targets have not been achieved as of December 31, 2025.
The following table summarizes the key terms of the Revolving Facility as of December 31, 2025(dollars in thousands):
| Leverage-Based Pricing · Investment-Grade Pricing | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Credit Agreement | Maturity Date | Extension Options | Extension Fee | Credit Spread | Facility Fee | Credit Spread | Facility Fee |
| $1,100,000 unsecured revolving line of credit | October 3, 2028 | 1 one-year or 2 six-month | 0.075% | 1.05%–1.50% | 0.15%–0.30% | 0.725%–1.40% | 0.125%–0.30% |
The Operating Partnership’s ability to borrow under the Credit Agreement is subject to ongoing compliance by the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries with various restrictive covenants, including with respect to liens, transactions with affiliates, dividends, mergers, and asset sales. In addition, the Credit Agreement requires that the Operating Partnership satisfy certain financial covenants, including (i) a maximum leverage ratio; (ii) a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio; (iii) a maximum secured indebtedness ratio; (iv) a maximum unsecured leverage ratio; and (v) a minimum unencumbered interest coverage ratio. As of December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all such covenants.
The Credit Agreement includes customary representations and warranties, which must continue to be true and correct in all material respects as a condition for future draws under the Revolving Facility. The Credit Agreement also contains customary events of default, the occurrence of which, following any applicable grace period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the principal, accrued interest, and other obligations under the Credit Agreement to be immediately due and payable.
As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.2 million withno amounts advanced against these instruments.
Unsecured Term Loans
In July 2022, in conjunction with the second amendment to the Credit Agreement, the Operating Partnership obtained a $300 M Term Loan that bears interest at a rate of SOFR plus a credit spread based on a ratings-based pricing grid. The Fourth Amendment to the Credit Agreement described above reduced the ratings-based pricing credit spread from a range of 1.15% to 2.20% to a range of 0.75% to 1.60%. The Fourth Amendment also eliminated an additional 0.10%SOFR spread adjustment. Proceeds from the $300 M Term Loan were used to repay outstanding indebtedness and for general corporate purposes. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $300 M Term Loan in whole or in part at any time, without premium or penalty. The loan agreement for the $300 M Term Loan includes the same Leverage Toggle for determining pricing and sustainability-linked pricing provisions as described above for the Credit Agreement. The greenhouse gas emission reduction targets have not been achieved as of December 31, 2025.
In October 2021, in connection with the merger with RPAI, the Operating Partnership (as successor by merger to RPAI) assumed RPAI’s $120 M Term Loan and $150 M Term Loan, which were originally priced on a leverage-based pricing grid with the credit spread set forth in the leverage grid resetting quarterly based upon the Company’s leverage, as calculated at the previous quarter end. The Operating Partnership had the option to irrevocably elect to convert to a ratings-based pricing grid at any time. In August 2022, the Operating Partnership made the election to convert to the ratings-based pricing grid. During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Operating Partnership repaid the $120 M Term Loan that matured on July 17, 2024.
On October 31, 2024, the Operating Partnership entered into a fifth amendment to the loan agreement related to the $150 M Term Loan that implemented certain changes to the representations and warranties, covenants, and events of default consistent with the Third Amendment. The loan agreement related to the $150 M Term Loan included a sustainability metric based on targeted greenhouse gas emission reductions, which would result in a reduction of the otherwise applicable interest rate margin byone basis point upon achievement of targets set forth therein. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Operating Partnership repaid the $150 M Term Loan that was scheduled to mature on July 17, 2026.
Under the loan agreement related to the $150 M Term Loan, the Operating Partnership had the option to increase the term loan to $250.0 million upon the Operating Partnership’s request, subject to certain conditions including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the term loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Operating Partnership was permitted to prepay the $150 M Term Loan in whole or in part, at any time, without being subject to a prepayment fee.
In October 2018, the Operating Partnership entered into a term loan agreement with a group of financial institutions providing for an unsecured term loan facility of up to $250.0 million (the “$250 M Term Loan”). In October 2024, the Operating Partnership entered into the Second Amendment (the “Second Amendment”) to the term loan agreement that extended the maturity date of the $250 M Term Loan to October 24, 2027, with the option to extend such maturity date byone one-year period at the Company’s election, subject to the payment of an extension fee and certain other customary conditions. In conjunction with the Second Amendment, the $250 M Term Loan is priced on a ratings-based pricing grid with the interest rate equal to (x) a margin ranging from 0.75% to 1.60% or (y) a base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.00% to 0.60% and includes the same Leverage Toggle for determining pricing and sustainability-linked pricing provisions as described above for the Credit Agreement. In conjunction with the Second Amendment to the term loan agreement, the Company recorded a $0.2 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs. In July 2025, the Operating Partnership entered into the third amendment to the term loan agreement related to the $250 M Term Loan that eliminated an additional 0.10%SOFR spread adjustment. The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the $250 M Term Loan to $300.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the term loan agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the $250 M Term Loan in whole or in part, without premium or penalty.
The unsecured term loan agreements contain representations, financial and other affirmative and negative covenants, and events of default that are substantially similar to those contained in the Credit Agreement. The unsecured term loan agreements all rank pari passu with the Operating Partnership’s Revolving Facility and other unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership.
The following table summarizes the key terms of the unsecured term loans as of December 31, 2025(dollars in thousands):

Fair Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt
As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of fixed rate debt was $2.4 billion compared to the book value of $2.4 billion. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 4.50% to 6.49%. As of December 31, 2025, the estimated fair value of variable rate debt was $647.7 million compared to the book value of $647.2 million. The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 4.54% to 5.84%.
NOTE 10. DERIVATIVE INSTRUMENTS, HEDGING ACTIVITIES AND OTHER COMPREHENSIVE INCOME
In order to manage potential future variable interest rate risk, we enter into interest rate derivative agreements from time to time. We do not use interest rate derivative agreements for trading or speculative purposes. The agreements with each of our derivative counterparties provide that in the event of default on any of our indebtedness, we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations.
The following table summarizes the terms and fair values of the Company’s derivative financial instruments that were designated and qualified as part of a hedging relationship as of December 31, 2025 and 2024(dollars in thousands):
| Fair Value Assets (Liabilities)(1) | ||||||||

(1)Derivatives in an asset position are included within “Prepaid and other assets” and derivatives in a liability position are included within “Accounts payable and accrued expenses” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.
(2)These interest rate swaps were assigned to the Company’s $300 M Term Loan effective August 1, 2025.
(3)The derivative agreements swapped a blended fixed rate of 4.52% for a blended floating rate of three-month SOFR plus 3.70% through September 10, 2025.
In June 2025, we entered into three intraday interest rate lock agreements with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million that fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Notes Due 2032, which were issued in June 2025, at 4.21%. We paid $0.2 million upon termination, which is included as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being reclassified as an increase to interest expense over the term of the debt.
In August 2024, we entered intotwo intraday interest rate lock agreements with notional amounts totaling $350.0 million that fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Notes Due 2031, which were issued in August 2024, at 3.75%. We paid $0.1 million upon termination, which is included as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being reclassified as an increase to interest expense over the term of the debt.
In December 2023, we entered into three forward-starting interest rate swap agreements with notional amounts totaling $150.0 million that swap a floating rate of compound SOFR for a fixed rate of 3.44% with an effective date of June 28, 2024 and a maturity date of June 28, 2034. These interest rate swaps fixed the interest rate on a portion of the Notes Due 2034, which were issued in January 2024, and were subsequently terminated upon issuance of the Notes Due 2034. We received $0.7 million upon termination, which is included as a component of “Accumulated other comprehensive income” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and is being reclassified as a reduction to interest expense over the term of the debt.
These interest rate derivative agreements are the only assets or liabilities that we record at fair value on a recurring basis. The valuation of these assets and liabilities is determined using widely accepted techniques, including discounted cash flow analysis. These techniques consider the contractual terms of the derivatives (including the period to maturity) and use observable market-based inputs, such as interest rate curves and implied volatilities. We also incorporate credit valuation adjustments into the fair value measurements to reflect nonperformance risk on both our part and that of the respective counterparties.
We have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, although the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives use Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined that the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, we have determined that our derivative valuations are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income related to derivatives will be reclassified to earnings over time as the hedged items are recognized in earnings. Approximately $9.1 million, $17.4 million, and $17.4 million was reclassified as a reduction to interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As interest payments on our derivatives are made over the next 12 months, we estimate the decrease to interest expense to be approximately $5.1 million, assuming the current SOFR curve.
Unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate derivative agreements are the only components of the change in accumulated other comprehensive income.
NOTE 11. LEASE INFORMATION
Rental Income
The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail and office space. The lease agreements generally provide for certain increases in base rent and reimbursements for certain operating expenses, and they may require tenants to pay contingent rent to the extent their sales exceed a defined threshold. Certain tenants have the option in their lease agreement to extend their lease upon the expiration of the contractual term. Variable lease payments are based upon tenant sales information and are recognized once a tenant’s sales volume exceeds a defined threshold. Variable lease payments for the reimbursement of operating expenses are based upon the operating expense activity for the period.
Rental income related to the Company’s operating leases is comprised of the following for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023(in thousands):

NOTE 12. SEGMENT REPORTING
An operating segment is a component of a public entity that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur expenses and has discrete financial information available that is regularly reviewed by the chief operating decision maker (the “CODM”).
The Company’s primary business is the ownership and operation of high-quality, open-air shopping centers and mixed-use assets that are primarily grocery-anchored and located in high-growth Sun Belt markets and select strategic gateway markets in the United States. We derive our revenue primarily from the collection of contractual rents and reimbursement payments from tenants under existing lease agreements at each of our properties. The Company’s CODM, which is its Chief Executive Officer, regularly reviews operating and financial information for each property on an individual basis; therefore, each property represents an individual operating segment. The CODM does not distinguish or group our operations on a geographical or any other basis for purposes of measuring performance and allocating capital. Across our properties, the financial performance, revenue generating activities, and customer base is determined to be economically similar; therefore, all operating segments have been aggregated intoone reportable segment.
The CODM measures and evaluates the financial performance of our portfolio of properties and decides how resources are allocated based on net operating income. The CODM uses net operating income to evaluate income generated from each property in deciding whether to reinvest profits for recurring capital expenditures or into other parts of the business, such as for acquisitions, developments, scheduled interest and principal payments on our indebtedness, or to pay dividends. Net operating income is also used to monitor budget versus actual results in assessing the performance of our properties. The CODM does not regularly review total assets for our single reportable segment as total assets are not used to assess performance or allocate resources.
The following table presents information on the Company’s reported segment revenue, net operating income, and significant segment expenses that are provided to the CODM and included within the Company’s single reportable operating segment measure of profit or loss:

NOTE 13. SHAREHOLDERS’ EQUITY
Distributions
On October 28, 2025, our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.29 per common share and Common Unit for the fourth quarter of 2025. On December 29, 2025, our Board of Trustees also declared a special cash distribution of $0.145 per common share and Common Unit. These distributions were paid on January 16, 2026, to common shareholders and common unitholders of record as of January 9, 2026.
For the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we declared cash distributions totaling $1.245, $1.03, and $0.97, respectively, per common share and Common Unit.
Share Repurchase Program
In February 2021, our Board of Trustees approved a share repurchase program under which the Company may repurchase, from time to time, up to an aggregate of $150.0 million of our common shares. In April 2022, our Board of Trustees authorized a $150.0 million increase to the size of the share repurchase program, authorizing share repurchases up to a maximum of $300.0 million of our common shares (the “Share Repurchase Program”). The Company intends to fund any future repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program with cash on hand or availability under the Revolving Facility, subject to any applicable restrictions. The timing of share repurchases and the number of common shares to be repurchased under the Share Repurchase Program will depend upon prevailing market conditions, regulatory requirements, and other factors. In November 2025, the Company extended the Share Repurchase Program for an additional year to February 28, 2027, if not terminated or extended prior to that date. During the year ended December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 10.9 million common shares at an average price per share of$22.82 for a total of $247.7 million. As of December 31, 2025, $52.3 million remained available for repurchases of common shares under the Company’s Share Repurchase Program. The Company didnot repurchase any shares during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Subsequent to December 31, 2025, the Company repurchased 2.2 million common shares at an average price per share of $23.92 for a total of $52.3 million. Additionally, in February 2026, our Board of Trustees authorized a $300.0 million increase to the size of the Share Repurchase Program, authorizing share repurchases up to a maximum of $600.0 million of our common shares.
Dividend Reinvestment and Share Purchase Plan
We maintain a dividend reinvestment and share purchase plan that offers shareholders and new investors the option to invest all or a portion of their common share dividends in additional common shares. Participants in this plan are also able to make optional cash investments with certain restrictions.
NOTE 14. EARNINGS PER SHARE OR UNIT
Basic earnings per share or unit is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares or units outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share or unit is calculated based on the weighted average number of common shares or units outstanding during the period combined with the incremental weighted average common shares or units that would have been outstanding assuming the conversion of all potentially dilutive common shares or units into common shares or units as of the earliest date possible.
Potentially dilutive securities include (i) outstanding options to acquire common shares; (ii) Limited Partner Units, which may be exchanged for either cash or common shares at the Parent Company’s option and under certain circumstances; (iii) AO LTIP Units; (iv) deferred common share units, which may be credited to the personal accounts of members of the Board of Trustees in lieu of compensation paid in cash or the issuance of common shares to such trustees, and (v) common shares issuable upon the exchange of the Company’s Exchangeable Notes. The Company calculates the potential dilutive effect of the Exchangeable Notes under the if-converted method, which considers only the amounts settled in excess of the principal in diluted earnings per share as the principal must be paid in cash. Limited Partner Units have been omitted from the Parent Company’s denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since the effect of including those amounts in the denominator would have no dilutive impact. Weighted average Limited Partner Units outstanding were 4.8 million,3.8 million, and 3.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The following table summarizes the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per share for the Parent Company for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. We have omitted the calculation of basic and diluted earnings per unit since the dilutive securities for the Operating Partnership are the same as those for the Parent Company(dollars in thousands, except per share data):

NOTE 15. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Other Commitments and Contingencies
We are obligated under various completion guarantees with certain lenders and lease agreements with tenants to complete all or portions of a development project and tenant-specific space that are currently under construction. We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through free cash flow or borrowings on the Revolving Facility.
In 2017, we provided a repayment guaranty on a $33.8 million construction loan associated with the development of the Embassy Suites at the University of Notre Dame, consistent with our 35% ownership interest. Our portion of the repayment guaranty was limited to $5.9 million, and the guaranty’s term was through July 1, 2024, the maturity date of the construction loan. In July 2024, the joint venture repaid the construction loan, of which we contributed $10.2 million, representing our 35% share of the debt repaid.
In 2021, we provided repayment and completion guarantees on loans totaling $66.2 million associated with the development of The Corner mixed-use project in the Indianapolis MSA. As of December 31, 2025, the outstanding balance of the loans was $69.1 million, of which our share was $34.5 million.
As of December 31, 2025, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $4.2 million withno amounts advanced against these instruments.
In July 2025, Eastgate Crossing, a 152,682 square foot multi-tenant retail property in the Durham-Chapel Hill MSA, experienced severe flooding as a result of Tropical Storm Chantal. We believe that we have adequate third-party insurance, subject to a $0.3 million deductible, including business interruption coverage, to address this matter, and at this time, we do not believe that the flood will have a significant adverse impact on our results of operations or financial condition on a consolidated basis.
We are not subject to any material litigation, nor, to management’s knowledge, is any material litigation currently threatened against us. We are parties to routine litigation, claims, and administrative proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. Management believes that such matters will not have a material adverse impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations, or cash flows taken as a whole.
NOTE 16. RELATED PARTIES AND RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS
Subsidiaries of the Company provide certain management, construction management, and other services to a number of entities owned by several members of the Company’s management. During each of the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we earned less than $0.1 million from entities owned by certain members of management.
We reimburse entities owned by certain members of the Company’s management for certain travel and related services. During the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023, we paid $0.2 million, $0.2 million, and $0.3 million, respectively, to this related entity.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“KRG Development”) assigned to Pan Am Development Partners, LLC (the “Assignee”) certain rights and obligations related to the development of a hotel on the Pan Am Plaza site in Indianapolis, IN, including certain future development rights and a right of first offer involving the project (collectively, the “Project Rights and Obligations”). The Assignee is a wholly owned subsidiary of Circle Block Investor, LLC, the parent company that owns the Conrad Indianapolis hotel, of which Mr. Alvin E. Kite, our Chairman Emeritus and the father of Mr. John A. Kite, is the majority owner, and Mr. John A. Kite, our Chief Executive Officer and Chairman of the Board, and Mr. Thomas K. McGowan, our President and Chief Operating Officer, are minority owners. In connection with the transaction, the Assignee assumed all Project Rights and Obligations from and after August 7, 2023 and paid KRG Development a $3.5 million assignment fee (the “Assignment Fee”) during the year ended December 31, 2024 upon the completion of certain development activities. In connection with the transactions, Mr. Kite and Mr. McGowan expressly acknowledged and agreed that they remain subject to their executive employment agreements with the Company, including, without limitation, the obligation of each executive to devote substantially all his business time and effort to the performance of his duties for the Company. Assignee will engage a team of full-time professionals to perform the Project Rights and Obligations. The transaction was approved by a special transaction committee of the independent trustees of the Company (the “Transaction Committee”) as well as the Company’s independent trustees. The Transaction Committee engaged a third-party financial advisor to assist in determining the net value of the Project Rights and Obligations and establishing the Assignment Fee.
