EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2019 of Kite Realty Group Trust, Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its subsidiaries. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Kite Realty Group Trust" or the "Parent Company" mean Kite Realty Group Trust, and references to the "Operating Partnership" mean Kite Realty Group, L.P. and its consolidated subsidiaries. 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 is engaged in the ownership and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in select markets in the United States. The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and as of September 30, 2019 owned approximately 97.5% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.5% of the common partnership interests (“Limited Partner Units” and, together with the General Partner Units, the “Common Units”) were owned by the limited partners.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report benefits investors by:

• enhancing investors' understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

• eliminating duplicative disclosure and providing a more streamlined and readable presentation of information because a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership; and

• creating time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The Parent Company has no material assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company issues public equity from time to time but does not have any indebtedness as all debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Parent Company currently does not nor does it intend to guarantee any debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership has numerous wholly-owned subsidiaries, and it also owns interests in certain joint ventures. These subsidiaries and joint ventures own and operate retail shopping centers and other real estate assets. The Operating Partnership is structured as a partnership with no publicly-traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units, the Operating Partnership generates the capital required by the business through its operations, its placement of indebtedness and the issuance of Limited Partner Units to third parties.

Shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. In order to highlight this and other differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are separate sections in this report, as applicable, that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the collective Company.

Kite Realty Group Trust and Kite Realty Group, L.P. and subsidiaries

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

September 30, 2019

(Unaudited)

(in thousands, except share and per share data)

Note 1. Organization

Kite Realty Group Trust (the "Parent Company"), 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 and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in select 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 of shares of its common stock to the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company was organized in Maryland in 2004 to succeed in the development, acquisition, construction and real estate businesses of its predecessor. We believe the Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and as of September 30, 2019 owned approximately 97.5% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.5% of the common partnership interests (“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 are operated 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.

At September 30, 2019, we owned interests in 96 operating and redevelopment properties totaling approximately 18.1 million square feet. We also owned one development project under construction as of this date.

Note 2. Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, Investments in Joint Ventures, and Noncontrolling Interests

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the presentation not misleading.  The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary in the opinion of management to present fairly the financial information set forth therein.  The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with 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 these estimates.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis.

Components of Investment Properties

The composition of the Company’s investment properties as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:

14

	Balance at
	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Investment properties, at cost:
Land, buildings and improvements	$	3,111,386	$	3,600,743
Furniture, equipment and other	7,667		7,741
Construction in progress	34,383		32,636
	$	3,153,436	$	3,641,120

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 subsidiary 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.  The Operating Partnership evaluates each joint venture and determines 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 agreements, 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 September 30, 2019, we owned investments in two joint ventures that were VIEs in which the partners did not have substantive participating rights and we were the primary beneficiary.  As of this date, these VIEs had total debt of $56.0 million, which were secured by assets of the VIEs totaling $114.2 million.  The Operating Partnership guarantees the debts 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.

Income Taxes and REIT Compliance

Parent Company

The Parent Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax purposes, has been organized and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to 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 federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. 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 federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to 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.

15

We have elected to treat Kite Realty Holdings, LLC as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries 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 asset will not be realized.

Operating Partnership

The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership's partners. Accordingly, the only federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with the Operating Partnership's taxable REIT subsidiary.

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 consolidated financial statements.  The non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	2019		2018
Noncontrolling interests balance January 1	$	698	$	698
Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests,   excluding redeemable noncontrolling interests	—		—
Noncontrolling interests balance at September 30	$	698	$	698

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 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity 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. At September 30, 2019, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests exceeded the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to redemption value. At December 31, 2018, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests did not exceed the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to historical book 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 interest.  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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the weighted average interests of the Parent Company and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Parent Company’s weighted average basic interest in Operating Partnership	97.5	%	97.6	%	97.6	%	97.6	%
Limited partners' weighted average basic interests in Operating Partnership	2.5	%	2.4	%	2.4	%	2.4	%

At September 30, 2019, the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.5% and 2.5%. At December 31, 2018, the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.6% and 2.4%.

16

Concurrent with the Parent Company’s initial public offering 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 in 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 2,110,037 and 2,035,349 Limited Partner Units outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase in Limited Partner Units outstanding from December 31, 2018 is due to non-cash compensation awards made to our executive officers in the form of Limited Partner Units.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Subsidiaries

Prior to the merger with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") in 2014, Inland Diversified formed joint ventures with the previous owners of certain properties and issued Class B units in three joint ventures that indirectly own those properties.  The Class B units related to one of these three joint ventures remain outstanding and are accounted for as noncontrolling interests in the remaining venture.  The remaining Class B units will become redeemable at the respective partner's election in October 2022 and the fulfillment of certain redemption criteria.  Beginning in November 2022, the Class B units can be redeemed at the election of either of our partner or us for cash or Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership.  The Class B units do not have a maturity date, and none are mandatorily redeemable unless either party has elected for the units to be redeemed. We consolidate this joint venture because we control the decision making and our joint venture partner has limited protective rights.

We classify the redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because, under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay cash to Class B unitholders in specific subsidiaries upon redemption of their interests.  The carrying amount of these redeemable noncontrolling interests is required to be reflected at the greater of initial book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the redemption amounts of these interests did not exceed their fair value, nor did they exceed the initial book value.  

In February 2018, we received notice from former partners in one of the joint ventures of their intent to exercise their right to redeem their remaining $22.0 million of Class B units for cash. Their interests were redeemed in August and November of 2018.

The redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	2019			2018
Redeemable noncontrolling interests balance January 1	$	45,743		$	72,104
Net (loss) income allocable to redeemable noncontrolling interests	(10		)	604
Distributions declared to redeemable noncontrolling interests	(2,388		)	(2,943		)
Liability reclassification due to exercise of redemption option by joint venture partner	—			(22,461		)
Other, net, including adjustments to redemption value	2,038			122
Total limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership and other redeemable noncontrolling interests balance at September 30	$	45,383		$	47,426
Limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership	$	35,313		$	37,356
Other redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries	10,070			10,070
Total limited partners' interests in Operating Partnership and other redeemable noncontrolling interests balance at September 30	$	45,383		$	47,426

Fair Value Measurements

We follow the framework established under accounting standard FASB ASC 820 for measuring 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 on the 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 valuations.

• 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 on 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.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2018 have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 consolidated financial statement presentation.  On the Company's consolidated statements of operations, it no longer presents minimum rents and tenant reimbursements as separate amounts because the Company now accounts for these amounts as a single combined lease component, rental income. The reclassifications had no impact on net results previously reported.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Standards

Leases

On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2016-02, Leases, using the modified retrospective approach along with electing the package of practical expedients. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making certain changes to lessor accounting, including the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. For leases with a term of one year or less, the Company made an accounting policy election by underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use (ROU) assets.

The practical expedients include the following:

• The Company did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases;

• The Company did not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases;

• The Company did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases; and

• The Company elected to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, of a contract from the leases to which they relate when specific criteria are met.

The new leasing standard also amended ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 340-40, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are recognized as an asset if the entity expects to recover them. Certain costs that were previously capitalized as a leasing cost no longer meet the requirements for capitalization under the new leasing standard. The incremental expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $1.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Lessor Activity

18

The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail and office space. The leases generally provide for certain increases in base rent, reimbursement for certain operating expenses, and may require tenants to pay contingent rent to the extent their sales exceed a defined threshold. Certain tenants have the option in the lease agreement to extend their lease upon the expiration of their 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 reimbursement of operating expenses are based upon the operating expense activity for the period.

From a lessor perspective, the new guidance remained mostly similar to legacy GAAP as the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components. This election resulted in a change on the Company's consolidated statements of operations as the Company no longer presents minimum rents and tenant reimbursements as separate amounts because the Company now accounts for these amounts as a single combined lease component, rental income, on the basis of the lease component being the predominant component of the contract. As such, non-lease components, including common area maintenance reimbursements that are of a fixed nature, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Further, bad debt, which has previously been recorded in property operating expenses, has now been classified as a contra-revenue account in rental income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company recognized the following lease rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019:

($ in thousands)
	Three Months Ended September 30, 2019			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Fixed Contractual Lease Payments - Operating Leases	$	58,828		$	188,021
Variable Lease Payments - Operating Leases	13,144			42,339

Amortization of In-Place Lease Liabilities, net	828			2,983
Total	$	72,573		$	234,726

Future rental income to be received under non-cancelable operating leases for each of the next five years and thereafter, excluding variable lease payments, are as follows:

($ in thousands)
2019	$	57,335
2020	226,114

Thereafter	534,238
Total	$	1,348,430

Lessee Activity

The Company is obligated under nine ground leases where we are the lessee for approximately 47 acres of land. These ground leases require fixed annual rent payments. The expiration dates of the remaining initial terms of these ground leases range from 2023 to 2092. Certain of these leases have extension options. The Company did not recognize value during the option period for the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it was not probable the extension options will be exercised. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right of use asset of $27.0 million and corresponding liability of $27.3 million. The right of use asset is included in prepaid and other assets and the lease liability is included in deferred revenue and other liabilities. This value was determined utilizing an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate that was specific to each lease based upon the term and underlying asset. These rates ranged from 3.93% to 6.33%.

19

Total rental expense was $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total rental expense was $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The weighted average remaining term of the lease agreements is approximately 52 years. Future minimum lease payments due under ground leases for the next five years ending December and thereafter are as follows:

Derivatives and Hedging

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-02 better aligns a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

New Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which introduced new guidance for an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. Instruments in scope include loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in leases as well as reinsurance and trade receivables. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarifies that operating lease receivables are outside the scope of the new standard. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have, if any, on our financial statements.

Note 3. 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 determined based on the weighted average common number of shares or units outstanding during the period combined with the incremental 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 outstanding options to acquire common shares; Limited Partner Units, which may be exchanged for either cash or common shares, at the Parent Company’s option and under certain circumstances; and deferred common share units, which may be credited to the personal accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash compensation or the issuance of common shares to such trustees.  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 these amounts in the denominator would have no dilutive impact. Weighted average Limited Partner Units outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 2.1 million and 2.1 million, respectively. Weighted average Limited Partner Units outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 2.1 million and 2.0 million, respectively.

Less than 0.1 million and 0.1 million outstanding options to acquire common shares were excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share or unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, because their impact was not dilutive. Due to the net loss allocable to common shareholders and Common Unit holders for the three and nine

20

months ended September 30, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2018, no securities had a dilutive impact for these periods. 

Note 4. Mortgage and Other Indebtedness

Mortgage and other indebtedness consisted of the following as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018:

Total mortgage and other indebtedness	$	1,548,770	$	6,566	$	(12,035	)	$	1,543,301

Consolidated indebtedness, including weighted average maturities and weighted average interest rates as of September 30, 2019, considering the impact of interest rate swaps, is summarized below:

	Outstanding Amount			Ratio		Weighted Average Interest Rate		Weighted Average Maturity (Years)
Fixed rate debt1	$	1,148,803		95	%	4.01	%	5.8
Variable rate debt	56,751			5	%	3.92	%	7.7
Net debt premiums and issuance costs, net	(6,970		)	N/A		N/A		N/A
Total	$	1,198,584		100	%	4.03	%	5.9

____________________
1	Fixed rate debt includes, and variable rate date excludes, the portion of such debt that has been hedged by interest rate derivatives. As of September 30, 2019, $266.2 million in variable rate debt is hedged for a weighted average 3.3 years.

Mortgage indebtedness is collateralized by certain real estate properties and leases, and is generally due in monthly installments of interest and principal and matures over various terms through 2030.

Variable interest rates on mortgage indebtedness are based on LIBOR plus spreads ranging from 150 to 160 basis points.  At September 30, 2019, the one-month LIBOR interest rate was 2.02%.  Fixed interest rates on mortgage indebtedness range from 3.78% to 6.78%. 

21

Debt Issuance Costs

Debt issuance costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the respective loan agreements.

The accompanying consolidated statements of operations include amortization of debt issuance costs as a component of interest expense as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018
Amortization of debt issuance costs	$	2,128	$	2,220

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans

As of September 30, 2019, we had an unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a total commitment of $600 million that matures in April 2023 (inclusive of one twelve-month extension option).

The Credit Facility also provided for a $200 million unsecured term loan maturing in July 2021 ("2021 Term Loan"). The outstanding balance of $95 million was retired in May 2019.

The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the borrowing availability of the Credit Facility to $1.2 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more lenders. 

On October 25, 2018, the Operating Partnership entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), and the other lenders party thereto, providing for an unsecured term loan facility of up to $250 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan ranks pari passu with the Operating Partnership’s existing $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility and $200 million unsecured term loan facility documented in the Operating Partnership’s Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2016, as amended (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), and other unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. 

The Term Loan has a scheduled maturity date of October 24, 2025, which maturity date may be extended for up to three additional periods of one year at the Operating Partnership’s option subject to certain conditions. 

The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the Term Loan to $300 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the Agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part, at any time, subject to a prepayment fee if prepaid on or before October 25, 2023.

As of September 30, 2019, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.  Additionally, we had letters of credit outstanding which totaled $2.0 million, against which no amounts were advanced as of September 30, 2019.

The amount that we may borrow under our Credit Facility is limited by the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool.  As of September 30, 2019, the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool, calculated pursuant to the Credit Facility agreement, was $1.4 billion. Considering outstanding borrowings on the line of credit, term loans, unsecured notes and letters of credit, we had $580.0 million available under our Credit Facility for future borrowings as of September 30, 2019.    

Our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is subject to our compliance with various restrictive and financial covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales.  As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The Operating Partnership has $550 million of senior unsecured notes maturing at various dates through September 2027 (the "Notes").  The Notes contain a number of customary financial and restrictive covenants. As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

22

Other Debt Activity

For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we had total new borrowings of $75.0 million and total repayments of $418.3 million.  In addition to the items mentioned above, the remaining components of this activity were as follows:   

• We retired twelve fixed-rate secured loans for $199.2 million in connection with the sale of operating properties;

• We repaid $120.6 million on the Credit Facility using proceeds from the sale of operating properties;

• We borrowed $30.0 million on the Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of the Pan Am Plaza Garage;

• We borrowed $45.0 million on the Credit Facility to fund development activities, redevelopment activities, tenant improvement costs, and other working capital needs; and

• We made scheduled principal payments on indebtedness totaling $3.5 million.

Fair Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt

As of September 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt was $0.9 billion compared to the book value of $0.9 billion.  The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 3.28% to 3.87%.  As of September 30, 2019, the fair value of variable rate debt was $322.7 million compared to the book value of $323.0 million.  The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 3.12% to 3.37%. 

Note 5. 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.  All such agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. 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.  

As of September 30, 2019, we were party to various cash flow derivative agreements with notional amounts totaling $266.2 million.  These derivative agreements effectively fix the interest rate underlying certain variable rate debt instruments over expiration dates through 2025.  Utilizing a weighted average interest rate spread over LIBOR on all variable rate debt resulted in fixing the weighted average interest rate at 3.92%.

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 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 utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties.  As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.  As a result, we determined our derivative valuations were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of our interest rate derivatives represented a net liability of $20.7 million, including accrued interest payable of $20,000.  As of September 30, 2019, this was reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  At December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of our interest rate hedges was a net liability of $3.5 million, including accrued interest receivable of $0.1 million.  As of December 31, 2018, $3.6 million was reflected in prepaid and other assets and $7.1 million was reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 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 $36,000 was reclassified as an increase to earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2019, and $0.3 million was reclassified as an increase to earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Approximately $0.8 million was reclassified as an increase to earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $0.4 million was reclassified as an increase to earnings during the nine months ended September 30,

23

2018. As the interest payments on our hedges are made over the next 12 months, we estimate the increase to interest expense to be $1.4 million, assuming the current LIBOR curve. 

Unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate derivative agreements are the only components of the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss.  

Note 6. Shareholders’ Equity

Distribution Payments

Our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.3175 for the third quarter of 2019 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of September 20, 2019. The distribution was paid on September 27, 2019.

AO LTIP Units

In connection with its annual review of executive compensation and as described in the table below, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Trustees approved an aggregate grant of AO LTIP Units (the “awards”) to the Company’s executive officers under an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

Executive	Number of AO LTIP Units	Participation Threshold per AO LTIP Unit
John A. Kite	1,490,683	$	15.79
Thomas A. McGowan	372,671	$	15.79
Heath R. Fear	253,416	$	15.79
Scott E. Murray	186,335	$	15.79

The Company entered into an award agreement with each executive officer with respect to his awards, which provide terms of vesting, conversion, distribution, and other terms. 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 set 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 are only exercisable and convertible into vested LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership to the extent that they become vested AO LTIP Units.  The awards of AO LTIP Units are subject to both time-based and stock price performance-based vesting requirements.  Subject to the terms of the award agreement, the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become fully exercisable as of the date that both of the following requirements have 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 the five-year period following the grant date, the reported closing price per common share of the Company appreciates at least 20% over the applicable Participation Threshold per AO LTIP Unit (as set forth in the table above) for a minimum of 20 consecutive trading days.  Any AO LTIP Units that do not become vested will be forfeited and become null and void as of the fifth anniversary of the grant date, but AO LTIP Units may also be forfeited earlier in connection with a corporate transaction or with the holder’s termination of service.

The AO LTIP Units were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation, and the resulting total compensation expense of $3.7 million is being amortized over three years.

Note 7. Deferred Costs and Intangibles, net

Deferred costs consist primarily of acquired lease intangible assets, broker fees and capitalized commissions incurred in connection with lease originations.  Deferred leasing costs, lease intangibles and similar costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the related leases.  At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, deferred costs consisted of the following:  

24

	September 30, 2019			December 31, 2018
Acquired lease intangible assets	$	63,762		$	81,852
Deferred leasing costs and other	63,807			69,870
	127,569			151,722
Less—accumulated amortization	(50,830		)	(56,307		)
Subtotal	$	76,739		$	95,415
Less: properties held for sale	$	—		$	(151	)
Total	$	76,739		$	95,264

 Amortization of deferred leasing costs, leasing intangibles and other is included in depreciation and amortization expense in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations. The amortization of above market lease intangibles is included as a reduction to revenue. The amounts of such amortization included in the accompanying consolidated statements of operations are as follows:

	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018
Amortization of deferred leasing costs, lease intangibles and other	$	10,601	$	14,531
Amortization of above market lease intangibles	958		2,026

Note 8. Deferred Revenue, Intangibles, Net and Other Liabilities

Deferred revenue and other liabilities consist of the unamortized fair value of below market lease liabilities recorded in connection with purchase accounting, retainage payables for development and redevelopment projects, and tenant rent payments received in advance of the month in which they are due.  The amortization of below market lease liabilities is recognized as revenue over the remaining life of the leases (including option periods for leases with below market renewal options) through 2046.  Tenant rent payments received in advance are recognized as revenue in the period to which they apply, which is typically the month following their receipt.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, deferred revenue, intangibles, net and other liabilities consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Unamortized below market lease liabilities	$	51,584	$	69,501
Retainage payables and other	2,233		2,489
Operating lease liability	27,116		—
Tenant rent payments received in advance	8,623		11,642
Total	$	89,556	$	83,632

The amortization of below market lease intangibles is included as a component of minimum rent in the accompanying consolidated statements and was $3.9 million and $7.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Note 9. Commitments and Contingencies

Other Commitments and Contingencies

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.

25

We are obligated under various completion guarantees with certain lenders and lease agreements with tenants to complete all or portions of the development and redevelopment projects.  We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through borrowings on the Credit Facility.

In connection with the joint venture that owns the Embassy Suites at Notre Dame, we provided a repayment guaranty on a $33.8 million construction loan, of which our share is $11.8 million (reflecting our 35% ownership interest in the hotel project). The outstanding loan balance as of September 30, 2019 is $33.6 million and our share is $11.8 million. 

As of September 30, 2019, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $2.0 million.  At that date, there were no amounts advanced against these instruments.

Note 10. Disposals of Operating Properties and Impairment Charge

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we sold eight operating properties for aggregate gross proceeds of $213.3 million and a net loss of $5.7 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold eight operating properties for aggregate gross proceeds of $244.0 million and a net gain of $24.1 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we sold our Whitehall Pike operating property in Bloomington, Indiana for aggregate gross proceeds of $13.5 million and a net gain of $6.6 million.

As of September 30, 2019, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements required to be included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we evaluated one operating property for impairment and recorded an $8.5 million impairment charge due to changes during the quarter in facts and circumstances underlying the Company's expected future hold period of the property. A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of the property. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding periods did not exceed the carrying value of the asset, leading to the charge during the quarter. We estimated the fair value of the property to be $12.6 million using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offers without adjustment.

As of June 30, 2019, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, we evaluated five operating properties for impairment and recorded impairment charges totaling $25.1 million due to changes during the quarter in facts and circumstances underlying the Company's expected future hold period of these properties. A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of the property. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding periods did not exceed the carrying value of each asset, leading to the charges during the quarter. We estimated the fair value of each property, which aggregated to $152.9 million, using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offers without adjustment. Two of these operating properties were sold in July 2019, one was sold in August 2019, and one was sold in October 2019.

As of March 31, 2019, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, we evaluated an operating property for impairment and recorded a $4.1 million impairment charge due to changes in our estimate of the fair value for a property in which we had previously concluded that undiscounted cash flows were insufficient to recover the carrying value. We estimated the fair value of the property to be $10.0 million using the market approach by utilizing a recent sales offer without adjustment. We compared the estimated fair value to the carrying value, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This property was sold in May 2019.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we contributed our Livingston Shopping Center, Plaza Volente, and Tamiami Crossing operating properties to a joint venture for an agreed upon value of $99.8 million in exchange for a 20% ownership interest and $89.0 million in net proceeds from the transaction that resulted in a net gain of $7.8 million.

The Company calculated the gain in accordance with ASC 606 and ASC 610-20 that require full gain recognition upon deconsolidation of a nonfinancial asset. This gain was calculated as the fair value of the properties (based upon the sales price for the 80% of interests) less the aggregate carrying value. The retained 20% equity method investment was recorded at fair value as of the transaction date of June 29, 2018, or $10.0 million. Our share of income from this investment was not material to the period ended June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, we evaluated two properties for impairment and recorded a $14.8 million impairment charge due to changes during the quarter in facts and

26

circumstances underlying the Company's expected future hold period of these properties. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of these assets, leading to the charge during the quarter. We estimated the fair value using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offers without adjustment. We compared the estimated aggregate fair value of $30.4 million to the carrying values, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we sold our Trussville Promenade operating property in Birmingham, Alabama, and our Memorial Commons operating property in Goldsboro, North Carolina, for aggregate gross proceeds of $63.0 million and a net gain of $0.5 million.

As of March 31, 2018, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, we evaluated an operating property for impairment and recorded a $24.1 million impairment charge due to changes during the quarter in facts and circumstances underlying the Company’s expected future hold period of this property.  A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of this property. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of a certain asset, leading to the charge during the quarter. We estimated the fair value of the property to be $24.3 million using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offer without adjustment. We compared the estimated fair value to the carrying value, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This property was sold in June 2018.

Note 11. Acquisitions

In March 2019, we acquired the Pan Am Plaza Garage for total consideration of $29.5 million. This asset sits beneath our existing Pan Am Plaza property in Indianapolis, Indiana. Substantially all of the purchase price was allocated to real estate investment.

In August 2019, we acquired Nora Plaza shopping center in Indianapolis, Indiana for total consideration of $29.0 million. This center is anchored by Whole Foods, Marshall's, and a non-owned Target. Substantially all of the purchase price was allocated to real estate investment.

Note 12. Subsequent Events

Dispositions

Subsequent to September 30, 2019, the Company sold the following properties for cumulative proceeds of $31.6 million:

• Beacon Hill in Crown Point, Indiana,

• Publix at Acworth in Atlanta, Georgia, and

• The Centre at Panola in Atlanta, Georgia

The proceeds from these sales were utilized to pay down outstanding indebtedness. As of September 30, 2019, total assets and total liabilities for these three properties were $21.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively. Each property was sold for a gain, and the Company expects to recognize gains aggregating to approximately $10 million during the quarter ended December 31, 2019 related to these disposals.

Our Business and Properties

Kite Realty Group Trust is a publicly-held real estate investment trust which, through its majority-owned subsidiary, Kite Realty Group, L.P., owns interests in various operating subsidiaries and joint ventures engaged in the ownership, operation, acquisition, development, and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in select markets in the United States.  We derive revenues primarily from activities associated with the collection of contractual rents and reimbursement payments from tenants at our properties.  Our operating results therefore depend materially on, among other things, the ability of our tenants to make required lease payments, the health and resilience of the United States retail sector, interest rate volatility, job growth and overall economic and real estate market conditions.

At September 30, 2019, we owned interests in 96 operating and redevelopment properties totaling approximately 18.1 million square feet. We also owned one development project under construction as of this date.

At September 30, 2018, we owned interests in 115 operating and redevelopment properties totaling approximately 22.4 million square feet. We also owned one development project under construction as of this date.

Recent Activities

Disposition Activity

We believe that continually evaluating our operating properties for redevelopment and capital recycling opportunities enhances shareholder value and improves long-term values and economic returns. In February 2019, we announced a plan to market and sell up to $500 million in non-core assets as part of a program designed to improve the Company's portfolio quality, reduce its leverage, and focus on operations in markets the Company believes it can gain scale and generate attractive risk-adjusted returns. As of October 2019, this plan resulted in the sale of 20 properties that generated $502 million of proceeds.

Operating Activity 

During the third quarter of 2019, we executed 70 new and renewal leases totaling 562,224 square feet.  New leases were signed on 22 individual spaces for 71,241 square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"), while renewal leases were signed on 48 individual spaces for 490,983 square feet of GLA.  Year to date, we executed 246 new and renewal leases totaling 1,705,321 square feet. New leases were signed on 88 individual spaces for 358,859 square feet of GLA, while renewal leases were signed on 158 individual spaces for 1,346,462 square feet of GLA.

For comparable new and renewal leases signed in the third quarter of 2019, which are defined as those for which the space was occupied by a tenant within the last 12 months, we achieved a blended cash rent spread of 7.9% and a blended GAAP rent spread of 12.3%.

Results of Operations

The comparability of results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 is affected by our redevelopment activities and operating property dispositions during these periods.  Therefore, we believe it is useful to review the comparisons of our results of operations for these periods in conjunction with the discussion of our activities during those periods, which is set forth below.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2019 to the Three Months Ended September 30, 2018

The following table reflects income statement line items from our consolidated statements of operations for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.  

	Three Months Ended September 30,

Rental income (including tenant reimbursements) decreased $10.9 million, or 13.1%, due to the following:

 

($ in thousands)	Net change 2018 to 2019
Properties sold during 2018 and 2019	$	(10,902	)
Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2018 and/or 2019	601
Properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 and other	(639		)
Total	$	(10,940	)

The net decrease of $0.6 million in rental income for properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 is primarily due to a reserve for certain non-cash straight-line rent receivables related to a theater tenant. In addition, revenues deemed uncollectible are shown as a reduction in 2019, while they were previously shown as a component of property operating expense and classified as bad debt expense. These decreases were offset by improved contractual rent due to increases in rental rates and small shop occupancy.

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues and other miscellaneous activity.  This revenue increased by $0.1 million, due to higher parking revenue offset by lower lease termination income.

The Company generated fee income of $0.1 million during the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, from property management services provided to unconsolidated joint ventures.

Property operating expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 8.7%, due to the following:

 

($ in thousands)	Net change 2018 to 2019
Properties sold during 2018 and 2019	$	(1,383	)
Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2018 and/or 2019	437
Properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 and other	(105		)
Total	$	(1,051	)

The net decrease of $0.1 million in property operating expenses for properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 is primarily due to no significant change in the operating activities at these properties. None of the individual fluctuations were greater than $0.2 million. As a percentage of revenue, property operating expenses increased between periods from 14.7% to 14.1%.

Real estate taxes decreased $1.6 million, or 14.0%, due to the following:

  

($ in thousands)	Net change 2018 to 2019
Properties sold during 2018 and 2019	$	(1,181	)
Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2018 and/or 2019	(11		)
Properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 and other	(373		)
Total	$	(1,565	)

The net $0.4 million decrease in real estate taxes for properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 is primarily due to lower assessments at certain properties in the portfolio. The majority of real estate tax expense is recoverable from tenants and such recovery is reflected in rental income.

General, administrative and other expenses increased $1.8 million, or 37.9%. The increase is mainly due to costs incurred that are not incremental costs of obtaining a lease contract. These costs are now expensed upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases. See additional discussion in Note 2 to the financial statements.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $4.9 million, or 13.2%, due to the following:

32

($ in thousands)	Net change 2018 to 2019
Properties sold during 2018 and 2019	$	(5,302	)
Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2018 and/or 2019	1,187
Properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 and other	(758		)
Total	$	(4,873	)

The net decrease of $0.8 million in depreciation and amortization at properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 is primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated during 2018.

As of September 30, 2019, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements required to be included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we evaluated one operating property for impairment and recorded an $8.5 million impairment charge due to changes during the quarter in facts and circumstances underlying the Company's expected future hold period of the property. A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of the property. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding periods did not exceed the carrying value of each asset, leading to the charges during the quarter. We estimated the fair value of the property using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offers without adjustment.

The Company recorded a net loss of $5.7 million on the sale of operating properties of during the three months ended September 30, 2019 related to the sale of eight operating properties.

Interest expense decreased $1.8 million or 10.9%. The decrease is primarily due to a reduction in outstanding borrowings using proceeds from our property sales partially offset by a slight increase in our weighted average borrowing costs.

The Company incurred a $7.0 million loss on debt extinguishment related to costs incurred to retire certain secured loans that were paid off in connection with property sales.

Comparison of Operating Results for the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

The following table reflects income statement line items from our consolidated statements of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018.

Property operating expense to total revenue ratio	14.1		%	13.9		%

Rental income (including tenant reimbursements) decreased $22.0 million, or 8.6%, due to the following:

 

($ in thousands)	Net change 2018 to 2019
Properties sold during 2018 and 2019	$	(20,971	)
Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2018 and/or 2019	1,177
Properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 and other	(2,176		)
Total	$	(21,970	)

The net decrease of $2.2 million in rental income for properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 is primarily attributable to an accelerated amortization of below market deferred revenue for certain anchor tenants in 2018 and a reserve for certain non-cash straight-line rent receivables related to a theater tenant recorded in 2019. Contractual rent improved year over year driven by increases in rental rates and small shop occupancy that were partially offset by decreases in anchor occupancy.

Other property related revenue primarily consists of parking revenues, gains on sales of undepreciated assets, and other miscellaneous activity.  This revenue decreased by $3.2 million, primarily due to lower gains on land sales.

The Company generated fee income of $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2019 from property management services provided to unconsolidated joint ventures. The Company generated $2.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 for development services provided as part of a multi-family development at our Eddy Street Commons operating property.

Property operating expenses decreased $3.2 million, or 8.7%, due to the following:

 

($ in thousands)	Net change 2018 to 2019
Properties sold during 2018 and 2019	$	(2,902	)
Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2018 and/or 2019	816
Properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 and other	(1,159		)
Total	$	(3,245	)

The net decrease of $1.2 million in property operating expenses for properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 is primarily due to a decrease in recoverable operating expenses. As a percentage of revenue, property operating expenses increased between periods from 13.9% to 14.1%.

Real estate taxes decreased $2.6 million, or 8%, due to the following:

  

($ in thousands)	Net change 2018 to 2019
Properties sold during 2018 and 2019	(2,376		)
Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2018 and/or 2019	(268		)
Properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 and other	$	68
Total	$	(2,576	)

The net $0.1 million increase in real estate taxes for properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 is primarily due to no significant change in tax assessments at operating properties. The majority of real estate tax expense is recoverable from tenants and such recovery is reflected in tenant reimbursement revenue.

General, administrative and other expenses increased $4.2 million, or 25.4%. The increase is due to costs incurred that are not incremental costs of obtaining a lease contract. These costs are now expensed upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02, Leases. See additional discussion in Note 2 to the financial statements.

Depreciation and amortization expense decreased $14.5 million, or 12.5%, due to the following:

($ in thousands)	Net change 2018 to 2019
Properties sold during 2018 and 2019	$	(12,286	)
Properties under redevelopment or acquired during 2018 and/or 2019	1,473
Properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 and other	(3,718		)
Total	$	(14,531	)

The net decrease of $3.7 million in depreciation and amortization at properties fully operational during 2018 and 2019 is primarily due to certain assets becoming fully depreciated during 2018.

In connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, we evaluated certain properties for impairment and recorded a $37.7 million impairment charge due to changes during 2019 in facts and circumstances underlying the Company’s expected future hold period of these properties.  A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of these properties. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of these assets, leading to the charges during 2019. Due to similar reasons, we recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $38.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Interest expense decreased $2.3 million or 4.6%. The decrease is due to a reduction in outstanding borrowings using proceeds from our property sales partially offset by a slight increase in our weighted average borrowing costs.

35

The Company incurred a $9.6 million loss on debt extinguishment related to costs incurred to retire certain secured loans that were paid off in connection with property sales.

Net Operating Income and Same Property Net Operating Income

We use property net operating income (“NOI”), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. We define NOI as income from our real estate, including lease termination fees received from tenants, less our property operating expenses. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions and certain corporate level expenses. We believe that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as depreciation and amortization, interest expense, and impairment, if any.

We also use same property NOI ("Same Property NOI"), a non-GAAP financial measure, to evaluate the performance of our properties. Same Property NOI excludes properties that have not been owned for the full period presented. It also excludes net gains from outlot sales, straight-line rent revenue, lease termination fees, amortization of lease intangibles and significant prior period expense recoveries and adjustments, if any. We believe that Same Property NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of our operating performance because it includes only the NOI of properties that have been owned for the full period presented, which eliminates disparities in net income due to the acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented and thus provides a more consistent metric for the comparison of our properties. The year to date results represent the sum of the individual quarters, as reported.

NOI and Same Property NOI should not, however, be considered as alternatives to net income (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of our financial performance. Our computation of NOI and Same Property NOI may differ from the methodology used by other REITs, and therefore may not be comparable to such other REITs.

When evaluating the properties that are included in the same property pool, we have established specific criteria for determining the inclusion of properties acquired or those recently under development. An acquired property is included in the same property pool when there is a full quarter of operations in both years subsequent to the acquisition date. Development and redevelopment properties are included in the same property pool four full quarters after the properties have been transferred to the operating portfolio. A redevelopment property is first excluded from the same property pool when the execution of a redevelopment plan is likely and we begin recapturing space from tenants. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, we excluded four redevelopment properties and the recently completed Fishers Station, and Rampart Commons redevelopments from the same property pool that met these criteria and were owned in both comparable periods. The recently completed City Center redevelopment was excluded for the first six months of 2019 and 2018.

The following table reflects Same Property NOI and a reconciliation to net income attributable to common shareholders for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018:

Our Same Property NOI increased 2.3% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, respectively, compared to the same period of the prior year, respectively. This increase was primarily due to contractual rent increases and improved expense recoveries. This increase was partially offset by a decline in economic occupancy from anchor vacancies.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our primary finance and capital strategy is to maintain a strong balance sheet with sufficient flexibility to fund our operating and investment activities in a cost-effective manner. We consider a number of factors when evaluating our level of indebtedness and when making decisions regarding additional borrowings or equity offerings, including the estimated value of properties to be developed or acquired, the estimated market value of our properties and the Company as a whole upon placement of the borrowing or offering, and the ability of particular properties to generate cash flow to cover debt service. We will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common or preferred shares, unsecured debt securities, or other securities.

Our Principal Capital Resources

For a discussion of cash generated from operations, see “Cash Flows,” beginning on page 40.  In addition to cash generated from operations, we discuss below our other principal capital resources.

37

We continue to focus on a balanced approach to growth, enhancing our liquidity positions, reducing our borrowing costs and staggering debt maturities in order to retain our financial flexibility.

As of September 30, 2019, we had approximately $580 million available under our unsecured revolving credit facility for future borrowings based on the unencumbered property pool allocated to the unsecured revolving credit facility.  We also had $40.4 million in cash and cash equivalents as of September 30, 2019.

We were in compliance with all applicable financial covenants under our unsecured revolving credit facility, our unsecured term loans and our senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2019.

We have on file with the SEC a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an indeterminate amount of equity and debt securities. Equity securities may be offered and sold by the Parent Company, and the net proceeds of any such offerings would be contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional General Partner Units. Debt securities may be offered and sold by the Operating Partnership with the Operating Partnership receiving the proceeds. From time to time, we may issue securities under this shelf registration statement to fund the repayment of long-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes.

In the future, we will continue to monitor the capital markets and may consider raising additional capital through the issuance of our common shares, preferred shares or other securities. We may also raise capital by disposing of properties, land parcels or other assets.  The sale price may differ from our carrying value at the time of sale.

We derive the majority of our revenue from tenants who lease space from us at our properties. Therefore, our ability to generate cash from operations is dependent on the rents that we are able to charge and collect from our tenants. While we believe that the nature of the properties in which we typically invest—primarily neighborhood and community shopping centers—provides a relatively stable revenue flow, an economic downturn could adversely affect the ability of some of our tenants to meet their lease obligations.

Our Principal Liquidity Needs

Short-Term Liquidity Needs

Near-Term Debt Maturities. As of September 30, 2019, we did not have any secured debt scheduled to mature prior to December 31, 2020, excluding scheduled monthly principal payments. We believe we have sufficient liquidity to repay these obligations from current resources and our capacity for future borrowings under the unsecured revolving credit facility.

Other Short-Term Liquidity Needs.  The requirements for qualifying as a REIT and for a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends paid to shareholders necessitate that we distribute at least 90% of our taxable income on an annual basis. Such requirements cause us to have substantial liquidity needs over both the short term and the long term. Our short-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, interest expense and scheduled principal payments on our debt, expected dividend payments to our common shareholders and to Common Unit holders, and recurring capital expenditures.

In August 2019, our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.3175 per common share and Common Unit for the third quarter of 2019. This distribution was paid on September 27, 2019 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of September 20, 2019. Future distributions, if any, are at the discretion of the Board of Trustees.

Other short-term liquidity needs include expenditures for tenant improvements, external leasing commissions and recurring capital expenditures.  During the nine months ended September 30, 2019, we incurred $2.6 million of costs for recurring capital expenditures on operating properties and also incurred $7.6 million of costs for tenant improvements and external leasing commissions (excluding development and redevelopment properties). In addition, we incurred costs for tenant improvements and lease commissions of $11.5 million related to our anchor leasing initiative. We currently anticipate incurring approximately $20 million to $25 million related to releasing vacant anchor space within the next 12 months at a number of our operating properties.

As of September 30, 2019, we had one development project under construction.  Our share of the total estimated cost of this project is approximately $10.0 million, of which $6.0 million had been incurred as of September 30, 2019.  We anticipate incurring the majority of the remaining $4.0 million of costs over the next 12 to 18 months.  We believe we have sufficient financing

38

in place to fund this project and expect to do so through cash flow from operations or borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility.

Long-Term Liquidity Needs

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for any new development projects, redevelopment of existing properties, non-recurring capital expenditures, acquisitions of properties, and payment of indebtedness at maturity.

Potential Redevelopment, Reposition, Repurpose Opportunities. We are currently evaluating additional redevelopment, repositioning, and repurposing of several other operating properties. We believe we will have sufficient funding for these projects through cash flow from operations and borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility. 

Selective Acquisitions, Developments and Joint Ventures. We may selectively pursue the acquisition and development of other properties, which would require additional capital.  It is unlikely that we would have sufficient funds on hand to meet these long-term capital requirements.  We would have to satisfy these needs through additional borrowings, sales of common or preferred shares, issuance of Operating Partnership units, cash generated through property dispositions or future property acquisitions and/or participation in joint venture arrangements.  We cannot be certain that we would have access to these sources of capital on satisfactory terms, if at all, to fund our long-term liquidity requirements.  We evaluate all future opportunities against pre-established criteria including, but not limited to, location, demographics, expected return, tenant credit quality, tenant relationships, and amount of existing retail space.  Our ability to access the capital markets will be dependent on a number of factors, including general capital market conditions.

Capital Expenditures on Consolidated Properties

The following table summarizes cash capital expenditures for our development and redevelopment properties and other capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2019:

	Nine Months Ended
($ in thousands)	September 30, 2019
Development Projects	$	904
Anchor Retenanting	15,736
Redevelopment Opportunities	803
Recently completed developments/redevelopments and other	10,734
Recurring operating capital expenditures (primarily tenant improvement payments)	9,429
Total	$	37,606

We capitalize certain indirect costs such as interest, payroll, and other general and administrative costs related to these development activities.  If we were to experience a 10% reduction in development and redevelopment activities, without a corresponding decrease in indirect project costs, we would have recorded additional expense of less than $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Debt Maturities

The following table presents maturities of mortgage debt and corporate debt as of September 30, 2019:

Unamortized net debt premiums and issuance costs, net					(6,970		)
Total					$	1,198,584

Failure to comply with our obligations under our indebtedness agreements (including our payment obligations) could cause an event of default under such debt, which, among other things, could result in the loss of title to assets securing such debt, the acceleration of principal and interest payments or the termination of the debt facilities, or exposure to the risk of foreclosure.  In addition, certain of our variable rate loans contain cross-default provisions which provide that a violation by us of any financial covenant set forth in our unsecured revolving credit facility agreement will constitute an event of default under the loans, which could allow the lenders to accelerate the amounts due under our indebtedness agreements if we fail to satisfy these financial covenants.  See “Item 1.A Risk Factors – Risks Related to Our Operations” in Kite Realty Group Trust's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 for more information related to the risks associated with our indebtedness.

Impact of Changes in Credit Ratings on Our Liquidity

We have been assigned investment grade corporate credit ratings from two nationally recognized credit rating agencies. These ratings remain unchanged as of September 30, 2019.

In the future, the ratings could change based upon, among other things, the impact that prevailing economic conditions may have on our results of operations and financial condition. Credit rating reductions by one or more rating agencies could also adversely affect our access to funding sources, the cost and other terms of obtaining funding, as well as our overall financial condition, operating results and cash flow.

Cash Flows

As of September 30, 2019, we had cash, cash equivalents, and restricted cash on hand of $50.0 million. We may be subject to concentrations of credit risk with regard to our cash and cash equivalents.  We place our cash and short-term cash investments with highly rated financial institutions.  While we attempt to limit our exposure at any point in time, occasionally, such cash and investments may temporarily be in excess of FDIC and SIPC insurance limits.  We also maintain certain compensating balances in several financial institutions in support of borrowings from those institutions.  Such compensating balances were not material to the consolidated balance sheets.

Comparison of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019 to the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2018

Cash provided by operating activities was $106.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and $119.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.  The cash flows were positively impacted from the completion of redevelopment projects and improved shop occupancy. These increases were offset by a decrease in cash provided by operating activities due to our 2018 and 2019 property sales activity.

Cash provided by investing activities was $363.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, as compared to cash provided by investing activities of $103.6 million in the same period of 2018.  Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in investing activities are as follows:

• Net proceeds of $460.7 million related to the sale of seventeen operating properties in 2019, compared to net proceeds of $151.5 million over the same period in 2018;

40

• Decrease in capital expenditures of $9.7 million and an increase in construction payables of $0.5 million as we substantially completed redevelopment projects over the last eighteen months; and

• Acquisition of the Pan Am Plaza Garage and Nora Plaza for a use of cash of $58.2 million.

Cash used in financing activities was $465.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to cash used in financing activities of $213.8 million in the same period of 2018.  Highlights of significant cash sources and uses in financing activities during the first nine months of 2019 are as follows:

• We borrowed $30.0 million on the Credit Facility to fund the acquisition of the Pan Am Plaza Garage;

• We borrowed $45.0 million on the unsecured revolving credit facility to fund development activities, redevelopment activities, and tenant improvement costs;

• We retired $418.3 million of debt from the proceeds of asset sales; and

• We made distributions to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of $109.6 million.

Funds From Operations

Funds from Operations ("FFO") is a widely used performance measure for real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure of operating performance. We calculate FFO, a non-GAAP financial measure, in accordance with the best practices described in the April 2002 National Policy Bulletin of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), as restated in 2018. The NAREIT white paper defines FFO as net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales and impairments of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that FFO is helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe our presentation of FFO, as adjusted, provides investors with another financial measure that may facilitate comparison of operating performance between periods and among our peer companies. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance, is not an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available to satisfy our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

Our calculations of FFO¹ and reconciliation to consolidated net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 (unaudited) are as follows:

____________________
1	“FFO of the Operating Partnership" measures 100% of the operating performance of the Operating Partnership’s real estate properties. “FFO attributable to Kite Realty Group Trust common shareholders” reflects a reduction for the redeemable noncontrolling weighted average diluted interest in the Operating Partnership.

Earnings before Interest, Tax, Depreciation, and Amortization

We define EBITDA, a non-GAAP financial measure, as net income before depreciation and amortization, interest expense and income tax expense of taxable REIT subsidiary. For informational purposes, we have also provided Adjusted EBITDA, which we define as EBITDA less (i) EBITDA from unconsolidated entities, (ii) gains on sales of operating properties or impairment charges, (iii) other income and expense, (iv) noncontrolling interest EBITDA and (v) other non-recurring activity or items impacting comparability from period to period. Annualized Adjusted EBITDA is Adjusted EBITDA for the most recent quarter multiplied by four. Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA is our share of net debt divided by Annualized Adjusted EBITDA. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA, Annualized Adjusted EBITDA and Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA, as calculated by us, are not comparable to EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures reported by other REITs that do not define EBITDA and EBITDA-related measures exactly as we do. EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of performance or as alternatives to cash flows from operating activities as an indicator of liquidity.

Considering the nature of our business as a real estate owner and operator, we believe that EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and the ratio of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA are helpful to investors in measuring our operational performance because they exclude various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of our operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of depreciated property and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. For informational purposes, we have also provided Annualized Adjusted EBITDA, adjusted as described above. We believe this supplemental information provides a meaningful measure of our operating performance. We believe presenting EBITDA and the related measures in this manner allows investors and other interested parties to form a more meaningful assessment of our operating results.

The following table presents a reconciliation of our EBITDA, Adjusted EBITDA and Annualized Adjusted EBITDA to consolidated net income (the most directly comparable GAAP measure) and a calculation of Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDA.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not currently have any off-balance sheet arrangements that in our opinion have, or are reasonably likely to have, a material current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources.  We do, however, have certain obligations related to some of the projects in our operating and development properties.

Contractual Obligations

Except with respect to our debt maturities as discussed on pages 39 and 40, there have been no significant changes to our contractual obligations disclosed in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

Market Risk Related to Fixed and Variable Rate Debt

We had $1.2 billion of outstanding consolidated indebtedness as of September 30, 2019 (exclusive of net premiums and issuance costs, net of $7.0 million on acquired indebtedness). As of this date, we were party to various consolidated interest rate hedge agreements totaling $266.2 million, with expiration dates through 2025.  Reflecting these hedge agreements, our fixed and variable rate debt was $1.1 billion (95%) and $56.8 million (5%), respectively, of our total consolidated indebtedness at September 30, 2019.

As of September 30, 2019, we did not have any fixed rate debt maturing within the next twelve months.  A 100 basis point change in market interest rates would not materially impact the annual cash flows associated with this hedged debt.  A 100 basis point change in interest rates on our unhedged variable rate debt as of September 30, 2019 would change our annual cash flow by $0.2 million.

Equity [Abstract]

Shareholders' Equity

Shareholders’ Equity

Distribution Payments

Our Board of Trustees declared a cash distribution of $0.3175 for the third quarter of 2019 to common shareholders and Common Unit holders of record as of September 20, 2019. The distribution was paid on September 27, 2019.

AO LTIP Units

In connection with its annual review of executive compensation and as described in the table below, the Compensation Committee of the Company's Board of Trustees approved an aggregate grant of AO LTIP Units (the “awards”) to the Company’s executive officers under an amendment and restatement of the Company’s 2013 Equity Incentive Plan.

Executive	Number of AO LTIP Units	Participation Threshold per AO LTIP Unit
John A. Kite	1,490,683	$	15.79
Thomas A. McGowan	372,671	$	15.79
Heath R. Fear	253,416	$	15.79
Scott E. Murray	186,335	$	15.79

The Company entered into an award agreement with each executive officer with respect to his awards, which provide terms of vesting, conversion, distribution, and other terms. 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 set 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 are only exercisable and convertible into vested LTIP Units of the Operating Partnership to the extent that they become vested AO LTIP Units.  The awards of AO LTIP Units are subject to both time-based and stock price performance-based vesting requirements.  Subject to the terms of the award agreement, the AO LTIP Units shall vest and become fully exercisable as of the date that both of the following requirements have 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 the five-year period following the grant date, the reported closing price per common share of the Company appreciates at least 20% over the applicable Participation Threshold per AO LTIP Unit (as set forth in the table above) for a minimum of 20 consecutive trading days.  Any AO LTIP Units that do not become vested will be forfeited and become null and void as of the fifth anniversary of the grant date, but AO LTIP Units may also be forfeited earlier in connection with a corporate transaction or with the holder’s termination of service.

The AO LTIP Units were valued using a Monte Carlo simulation, and the resulting total compensation expense of $3.7 million is being amortized over three years.

Disposals of Operating Properties and Impairment Charge

Discontinued Operations and Disposal Groups [Abstract]

Disposals of Operating Properties and Impairment Charge

Disposals of Operating Properties and Impairment Charge

During the three months ended September 30, 2019, we sold eight operating properties for aggregate gross proceeds of $213.3 million and a net loss of $5.7 million.

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we sold eight operating properties for aggregate gross proceeds of $244.0 million and a net gain of $24.1 million.

During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we sold our Whitehall Pike operating property in Bloomington, Indiana for aggregate gross proceeds of $13.5 million and a net gain of $6.6 million.

As of September 30, 2019, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements required to be included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we evaluated one operating property for impairment and recorded an $8.5 million impairment charge due to changes during the quarter in facts and circumstances underlying the Company's expected future hold period of the property. A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of the property. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding periods did not exceed the carrying value of the asset, leading to the charge during the quarter. We estimated the fair value of the property to be $12.6 million using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offers without adjustment.

As of June 30, 2019, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, we evaluated five operating properties for impairment and recorded impairment charges totaling $25.1 million due to changes during the quarter in facts and circumstances underlying the Company's expected future hold period of these properties. A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of the property. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding periods did not exceed the carrying value of each asset, leading to the charges during the quarter. We estimated the fair value of each property, which aggregated to $152.9 million, using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offers without adjustment. Two of these operating properties were sold in July 2019, one was sold in August 2019, and one was sold in October 2019.

As of March 31, 2019, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, we evaluated an operating property for impairment and recorded a $4.1 million impairment charge due to changes in our estimate of the fair value for a property in which we had previously concluded that undiscounted cash flows were insufficient to recover the carrying value. We estimated the fair value of the property to be $10.0 million using the market approach by utilizing a recent sales offer without adjustment. We compared the estimated fair value to the carrying value, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $4.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. This property was sold in May 2019.

During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we contributed our Livingston Shopping Center, Plaza Volente, and Tamiami Crossing operating properties to a joint venture for an agreed upon value of $99.8 million in exchange for a 20% ownership interest and $89.0 million in net proceeds from the transaction that resulted in a net gain of $7.8 million.

The Company calculated the gain in accordance with ASC 606 and ASC 610-20 that require full gain recognition upon deconsolidation of a nonfinancial asset. This gain was calculated as the fair value of the properties (based upon the sales price for the 80% of interests) less the aggregate carrying value. The retained 20% equity method investment was recorded at fair value as of the transaction date of June 29, 2018, or $10.0 million. Our share of income from this investment was not material to the period ended June 30, 2018.

As of June 30, 2018, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, we evaluated two properties for impairment and recorded a $14.8 million impairment charge due to changes during the quarter in facts and

circumstances underlying the Company's expected future hold period of these properties. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of these assets, leading to the charge during the quarter. We estimated the fair value using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offers without adjustment. We compared the estimated aggregate fair value of $30.4 million to the carrying values, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $14.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

During the three months ended March 31, 2018, we sold our Trussville Promenade operating property in Birmingham, Alabama, and our Memorial Commons operating property in Goldsboro, North Carolina, for aggregate gross proceeds of $63.0 million and a net gain of $0.5 million.

As of March 31, 2018, in connection with the preparation and review of the financial statements, we evaluated an operating property for impairment and recorded a $24.1 million impairment charge due to changes during the quarter in facts and circumstances underlying the Company’s expected future hold period of this property.  A shortening of an expected future hold period is considered an impairment indicator under applicable accounting rules, and this indicator caused us to further evaluate the carrying value of this property. We concluded the estimated undiscounted cash flows over the expected holding period did not exceed the carrying value of a certain asset, leading to the charge during the quarter. We estimated the fair value of the property to be $24.3 million using the market approach by utilizing recent sales offer without adjustment. We compared the estimated fair value to the carrying value, which resulted in the recording of a non-cash impairment charge of $24.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. This property was sold in June 2018.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, Investments in Joint Ventures, and Noncontrolling Interests

Basis of Presentation, Consolidation, Investments in Joint Ventures, and Noncontrolling Interests

We have prepared the accompanying unaudited financial statements pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission.  Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations, although management believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the presentation not misleading.  The unaudited financial statements as of September 30, 2019 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary in the opinion of management to present fairly the financial information set forth therein.  The consolidated financial statements in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and related notes thereto included in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2018. 

The preparation of financial statements in accordance with 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 these estimates.  The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected on an annual basis.

Components of Investment Properties

The composition of the Company’s investment properties as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 was as follows:

	Balance at
	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Investment properties, at cost:
Land, buildings and improvements	$	3,111,386	$	3,600,743
Furniture, equipment and other	7,667		7,741
Construction in progress	34,383		32,636
	$	3,153,436	$	3,641,120

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 subsidiary 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.  The Operating Partnership evaluates each joint venture and determines 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 agreements, 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 September 30, 2019, we owned investments in two joint ventures that were VIEs in which the partners did not have substantive participating rights and we were the primary beneficiary.  As of this date, these VIEs had total debt of $56.0 million, which were secured by assets of the VIEs totaling $114.2 million.  The Operating Partnership guarantees the debts 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.

Income Taxes and REIT Compliance

Parent Company

The Parent Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax purposes, has been organized and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to 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 federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. 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 federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to 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 as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries 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 asset will not be realized.

Operating Partnership

The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership's partners. Accordingly, the only federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with the Operating Partnership's taxable REIT subsidiary.

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 consolidated financial statements.  The non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	2019		2018
Noncontrolling interests balance January 1	$	698	$	698
Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests,   excluding redeemable noncontrolling interests	—		—
Noncontrolling interests balance at September 30	$	698	$	698

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 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity 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. At September 30, 2019, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests exceeded the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to redemption value. At December 31, 2018, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests did not exceed the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to historical book 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 interest.  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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the weighted average interests of the Parent Company and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Parent Company’s weighted average basic interest in Operating Partnership	97.5	%	97.6	%	97.6	%	97.6	%
Limited partners' weighted average basic interests in Operating Partnership	2.5	%	2.4	%	2.4	%	2.4	%

At September 30, 2019, the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.5% and 2.5%. At December 31, 2018, the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.6% and 2.4%.

Concurrent with the Parent Company’s initial public offering 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 in 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 2,110,037 and 2,035,349 Limited Partner Units outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase in Limited Partner Units outstanding from December 31, 2018 is due to non-cash compensation awards made to our executive officers in the form of Limited Partner Units.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Subsidiaries

Prior to the merger with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") in 2014, Inland Diversified formed joint ventures with the previous owners of certain properties and issued Class B units in three joint ventures that indirectly own those properties.  The Class B units related to one of these three joint ventures remain outstanding and are accounted for as noncontrolling interests in the remaining venture.  The remaining Class B units will become redeemable at the respective partner's election in October 2022 and the fulfillment of certain redemption criteria.  Beginning in November 2022, the Class B units can be redeemed at the election of either of our partner or us for cash or Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership.  The Class B units do not have a maturity date, and none are mandatorily redeemable unless either party has elected for the units to be redeemed. We consolidate this joint venture because we control the decision making and our joint venture partner has limited protective rights.

We classify the redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because, under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay cash to Class B unitholders in specific subsidiaries upon redemption of their interests.  The carrying amount of these redeemable noncontrolling interests is required to be reflected at the greater of initial book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital. As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the redemption amounts of these interests did not exceed their fair value, nor did they exceed the initial book value.  

In February 2018, we received notice from former partners in one of the joint ventures of their intent to exercise their right to redeem their remaining $22.0 million of Class B units for cash. Their interests were redeemed in August and November of 2018.

The redeemable noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership and subsidiaries for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	2019			2018
Redeemable noncontrolling interests balance January 1	$	45,743		$	72,104
Net (loss) income allocable to redeemable noncontrolling interests	(10		)	604
Distributions declared to redeemable noncontrolling interests	(2,388		)	(2,943		)

Other, net, including adjustments to redemption value	2,038			122

Fair Value Measurements

We follow the framework established under accounting standard FASB ASC 820 for measuring 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 on the 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 valuations.

• 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 on 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.

Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2018 have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 consolidated financial statement presentation.  On the Company's consolidated statements of operations, it no longer presents minimum rents and tenant reimbursements as separate amounts because the Company now accounts for these amounts as a single combined lease component, rental income. The reclassifications had no impact on net results previously reported.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Adoption of New Standards

Leases

On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2016-02, Leases, using the modified retrospective approach along with electing the package of practical expedients. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making certain changes to lessor accounting, including the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. For leases with a term of one year or less, the Company made an accounting policy election by underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use (ROU) assets.

The practical expedients include the following:

• The Company did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases;

• The Company did not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases;

• The Company did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases; and

• The Company elected to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, of a contract from the leases to which they relate when specific criteria are met.

The new leasing standard also amended ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 340-40, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are recognized as an asset if the entity expects to recover them. Certain costs that were previously capitalized as a leasing cost no longer meet the requirements for capitalization under the new leasing standard. The incremental expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $1.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Lessor Activity

The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail and office space. The leases generally provide for certain increases in base rent, reimbursement for certain operating expenses, and may require tenants to pay contingent rent to the extent their sales exceed a defined threshold. Certain tenants have the option in the lease agreement to extend their lease upon the expiration of their 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 reimbursement of operating expenses are based upon the operating expense activity for the period.

From a lessor perspective, the new guidance remained mostly similar to legacy GAAP as the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components. This election resulted in a change on the Company's consolidated statements of operations as the Company no longer presents minimum rents and tenant reimbursements as separate amounts because the Company now accounts for these amounts as a single combined lease component, rental income, on the basis of the lease component being the predominant component of the contract. As such, non-lease components, including common area maintenance reimbursements that are of a fixed nature, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Further, bad debt, which has previously been recorded in property operating expenses, has now been classified as a contra-revenue account in rental income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

The Company recognized the following lease rental income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019:

($ in thousands)
	Three Months Ended September 30, 2019			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2019
Fixed Contractual Lease Payments - Operating Leases	$	58,828		$	188,021

Thereafter	534,238
Total	$	1,348,430

Lessee Activity

The Company is obligated under nine ground leases where we are the lessee for approximately 47 acres of land. These ground leases require fixed annual rent payments. The expiration dates of the remaining initial terms of these ground leases range from 2023 to 2092. Certain of these leases have extension options. The Company did not recognize value during the option period for the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it was not probable the extension options will be exercised. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right of use asset of $27.0 million and corresponding liability of $27.3 million. The right of use asset is included in prepaid and other assets and the lease liability is included in deferred revenue and other liabilities. This value was determined utilizing an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate that was specific to each lease based upon the term and underlying asset. These rates ranged from 3.93% to 6.33%.

Total rental expense was $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Total rental expense was $1.4 million and $1.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. The weighted average remaining term of the lease agreements is approximately 52 years. Future minimum lease payments due under ground leases for the next five years ending December and thereafter are as follows:

($ in thousands)
2019	$	423
2020	1,777
2021	1,789

Thereafter	72,154
Total Lease Payments	79,594
Less: Discount	(52,478		)
Present Value of Lease Liabilities	$	27,116

Derivatives and Hedging

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging: Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. ASU 2017-02 better aligns a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. The adoption of ASU 2017-12 did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

New Standards Issued but Not Yet Adopted

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses," which introduced new guidance for an approach based on expected losses to estimate credit losses on certain types of financial instruments. It also modifies the impairment model for available-for-sale debt securities and provides a simplified accounting model for purchased financial assets with credit deterioration since their origination. Instruments in scope include loans, held-to-maturity debt securities, and net investments in leases as well as reinsurance and trade receivables. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, which clarifies that operating lease receivables are outside the scope of the new standard. This standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the impact this ASU will have, if any, on our financial statements.

Organization

Kite Realty Group Trust (the "Parent Company"), 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 and operation, acquisition, development and redevelopment of high-quality neighborhood and community shopping centers in select 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 of shares of its common stock to the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company was organized in Maryland in 2004 to succeed in the development, acquisition, construction and real estate businesses of its predecessor. We believe the Company qualifies as a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) under provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended.

The Parent Company is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, and as of September 30, 2019 owned approximately 97.5% of the common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“General Partner Units”). The remaining 2.5% of the common partnership interests (“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 are operated 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.

At September 30, 2019, we owned interests in 96 operating and redevelopment properties totaling approximately 18.1 million square feet. We also owned one development project under construction as of this date.

Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract]

Consolidation and Investments in Joint Ventures

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 subsidiary 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.  The Operating Partnership evaluates each joint venture and determines 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 agreements, 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 September 30, 2019, we owned investments in two joint ventures that were VIEs in which the partners did not have substantive participating rights and we were the primary beneficiary.  As of this date, these VIEs had total debt of $56.0 million, which were secured by assets of the VIEs totaling $114.2 million.  The Operating Partnership guarantees the debts 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.

Income Taxes

Income Taxes and REIT Compliance

Parent Company

The Parent Company, which is considered a corporation for federal income tax purposes, has been organized and intends to continue to operate in a manner that will enable it to maintain its qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. As a result, it generally will not be subject to 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 federal corporate income tax on its undistributed REIT taxable income. 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 federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates for a period of four years following the year in which qualification is lost. We may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on our income and property and to 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 as a taxable REIT subsidiary of the Operating Partnership, and we may elect to treat other subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries 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 asset will not be realized.

Operating Partnership

The allocated share of income and loss, other than the operations of our taxable REIT subsidiary, is included in the income tax returns of the Operating Partnership's partners. Accordingly, the only federal income taxes included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements are in connection with the Operating Partnership's taxable REIT subsidiary.

Noncontrolling Interests

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 consolidated financial statements.  The non-redeemable noncontrolling interests in consolidated properties for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were as follows:

	2019		2018
Noncontrolling interests balance January 1	$	698	$	698
Net income allocable to noncontrolling interests,   excluding redeemable noncontrolling interests	—		—
Noncontrolling interests balance at September 30	$	698	$	698

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 in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity 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. At September 30, 2019, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests exceeded the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to redemption value. At December 31, 2018, the redemption value of the redeemable noncontrolling interests did not exceed the historical book value, and the balance was accordingly adjusted to historical book 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 interest.  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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, the weighted average interests of the Parent Company and the limited partners in the Operating Partnership were as follows:

	Three Months Ended September 30,				Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2019		2018		2019		2018
Parent Company’s weighted average basic interest in Operating Partnership	97.5	%	97.6	%	97.6	%	97.6	%
Limited partners' weighted average basic interests in Operating Partnership	2.5	%	2.4	%	2.4	%	2.4	%

At September 30, 2019, the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.5% and 2.5%. At December 31, 2018, the Parent Company's interest and the limited partners' redeemable noncontrolling ownership interests in the Operating Partnership were 97.6% and 2.4%.

Concurrent with the Parent Company’s initial public offering 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 in 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 2,110,037 and 2,035,349 Limited Partner Units outstanding as of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively. The increase in Limited Partner Units outstanding from December 31, 2018 is due to non-cash compensation awards made to our executive officers in the form of Limited Partner Units.

Redeemable Noncontrolling Interests - Subsidiaries

Prior to the merger with Inland Diversified Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("Inland Diversified") in 2014, Inland Diversified formed joint ventures with the previous owners of certain properties and issued Class B units in three joint ventures that indirectly own those properties.  The Class B units related to one of these three joint ventures remain outstanding and are accounted for as noncontrolling interests in the remaining venture.  The remaining Class B units will become redeemable at the respective partner's election in October 2022 and the fulfillment of certain redemption criteria.  Beginning in November 2022, the Class B units can be redeemed at the election of either of our partner or us for cash or Limited Partner Units in the Operating Partnership.  The Class B units do not have a maturity date, and none are mandatorily redeemable unless either party has elected for the units to be redeemed. We consolidate this joint venture because we control the decision making and our joint venture partner has limited protective rights.

We classify the redeemable noncontrolling interests in certain subsidiaries in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets outside of permanent equity because, under certain circumstances, we may be required to pay cash to Class B unitholders in specific subsidiaries upon redemption of their interests.  The carrying amount of these redeemable noncontrolling interests is required to be reflected at the greater of initial book value or redemption value with a corresponding adjustment to additional paid-in capital.

Fair Value Measurements

Fair Value Measurements

We follow the framework established under accounting standard FASB ASC 820 for measuring 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 on the 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 valuations.

• 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 on 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.

Reclassifications

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2018 have been reclassified to conform to the 2019 consolidated financial statement presentation.  On the Company's consolidated statements of operations, it no longer presents minimum rents and tenant reimbursements as separate amounts because the Company now accounts for these amounts as a single combined lease component, rental income. The reclassifications had no impact on net results previously reported.

ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making certain changes to lessor accounting, including the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. For leases with a term of one year or less, the Company made an accounting policy election by underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use (ROU) assets.

The practical expedients include the following:

• The Company did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases;

• The Company did not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases;

• The Company did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases; and

• The Company elected to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, of a contract from the leases to which they relate when specific criteria are met.

The new leasing standard also amended ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 340-40, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are recognized as an asset if the entity expects to recover them. Certain costs that were previously capitalized as a leasing cost no longer meet the requirements for capitalization under the new leasing standard. The incremental expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $1.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

On January 1, 2019, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") ASU 2016-02, Leases, using the modified retrospective approach along with electing the package of practical expedients. ASU 2016-02 amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting, including requiring lessees to recognize most leases on their balance sheets and making certain changes to lessor accounting, including the accounting for sales-type and direct financing leases. For leases with a term of one year or less, the Company made an accounting policy election by underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and right-of-use (ROU) assets.

The practical expedients include the following:

• The Company did not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases;

• The Company did not reassess the lease classification of any expired or existing leases;

• The Company did not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases; and

• The Company elected to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, of a contract from the leases to which they relate when specific criteria are met.

The new leasing standard also amended ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs - Contracts with Customers. Under ASC 340-40, incremental costs of obtaining a contract are recognized as an asset if the entity expects to recover them. Certain costs that were previously capitalized as a leasing cost no longer meet the requirements for capitalization under the new leasing standard. The incremental expense recorded for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 was approximately $1.3 million and $3.9 million, respectively.

Lessor Activity

The Company receives rental income from the leasing of retail and office space. The leases generally provide for certain increases in base rent, reimbursement for certain operating expenses, and may require tenants to pay contingent rent to the extent their sales exceed a defined threshold. Certain tenants have the option in the lease agreement to extend their lease upon the expiration of their 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 reimbursement of operating expenses are based upon the operating expense activity for the period.

From a lessor perspective, the new guidance remained mostly similar to legacy GAAP as the Company elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from lease components. This election resulted in a change on the Company's consolidated statements of operations as the Company no longer presents minimum rents and tenant reimbursements as separate amounts because the Company now accounts for these amounts as a single combined lease component, rental income, on the basis of the lease component being the predominant component of the contract. As such, non-lease components, including common area maintenance reimbursements that are of a fixed nature, are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Further, bad debt, which has previously been recorded in property operating expenses, has now been classified as a contra-revenue account in rental income in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Lessee, Leases

Lessee Activity

The Company is obligated under nine ground leases where we are the lessee for approximately 47 acres of land. These ground leases require fixed annual rent payments. The expiration dates of the remaining initial terms of these ground leases range from 2023 to 2092. Certain of these leases have extension options. The Company did not recognize value during the option period for the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities as it was not probable the extension options will be exercised. Upon adoption, the Company recorded a right of use asset of $27.0 million and corresponding liability of $27.3 million. The right of use asset is included in prepaid and other assets and the lease liability is included in deferred revenue and other liabilities. This value was determined utilizing an estimate of our incremental borrowing rate that was specific to each lease based upon the term and underlying asset. These rates ranged from 3.93% to 6.33%.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivative Instruments, Hedging Activities and Other Comprehensive Income

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.  All such agreements are designated as cash flow hedges. 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.  

As of September 30, 2019, we were party to various cash flow derivative agreements with notional amounts totaling $266.2 million.  These derivative agreements effectively fix the interest rate underlying certain variable rate debt instruments over expiration dates through 2025.  Utilizing a weighted average interest rate spread over LIBOR on all variable rate debt resulted in fixing the weighted average interest rate at 3.92%.

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 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 utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties.  As of September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and determined the credit valuation adjustments were not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives.  As a result, we determined our derivative valuations were classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of our interest rate derivatives represented a net liability of $20.7 million, including accrued interest payable of $20,000.  As of September 30, 2019, this was reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  At December 31, 2018, the estimated fair value of our interest rate hedges was a net liability of $3.5 million, including accrued interest receivable of $0.1 million.  As of December 31, 2018, $3.6 million was reflected in prepaid and other assets and $7.1 million was reflected in accounts payable and accrued expenses on the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.

 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 $36,000 was reclassified as an increase to earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2019, and $0.3 million was reclassified as an increase to earnings during the three months ended September 30, 2018. Approximately $0.8 million was reclassified as an increase to earnings during the nine months ended September 30, 2019, and $0.4 million was reclassified as an increase to earnings during the nine months ended September 30,

2018. As the interest payments on our hedges are made over the next 12 months, we estimate the increase to interest expense to be $1.4 million, assuming the current LIBOR curve. 

Unrealized gains and losses on our interest rate derivative agreements are the only components of the change in accumulated other comprehensive loss.

Commitments and Contingencies

Other Commitments and Contingencies

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.

We are obligated under various completion guarantees with certain lenders and lease agreements with tenants to complete all or portions of the development and redevelopment projects.  We believe we currently have sufficient financing in place to fund these projects and expect to do so primarily through borrowings on the Credit Facility.

In connection with the joint venture that owns the Embassy Suites at Notre Dame, we provided a repayment guaranty on a $33.8 million construction loan, of which our share is $11.8 million (reflecting our 35% ownership interest in the hotel project). The outstanding loan balance as of September 30, 2019 is $33.6 million and our share is $11.8 million. 

As of September 30, 2019, we had outstanding letters of credit totaling $2.0 million.  At that date, there were no amounts advanced against these instruments.

Earnings Per Share or Unit

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]

Earnings Per Share or Unit

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 determined based on the weighted average common number of shares or units outstanding during the period combined with the incremental 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 outstanding options to acquire common shares; Limited Partner Units, which may be exchanged for either cash or common shares, at the Parent Company’s option and under certain circumstances; and deferred common share units, which may be credited to the personal accounts of non-employee trustees in lieu of the payment of cash compensation or the issuance of common shares to such trustees.  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 these amounts in the denominator would have no dilutive impact. Weighted average Limited Partner Units outstanding for the three months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 2.1 million and 2.1 million, respectively. Weighted average Limited Partner Units outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018 were 2.1 million and 2.0 million, respectively.

Less than 0.1 million and 0.1 million outstanding options to acquire common shares were excluded from the computations of diluted earnings per share or unit for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, because their impact was not dilutive. Due to the net loss allocable to common shareholders and Common Unit holders for the three and nine

months ended September 30, 2019 and nine months ended September 30, 2018, no securities had a dilutive impact for these periods.

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and Unsecured Term Loans

As of September 30, 2019, we had an unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Credit Facility") with a total commitment of $600 million that matures in April 2023 (inclusive of one twelve-month extension option).

The Credit Facility also provided for a $200 million unsecured term loan maturing in July 2021 ("2021 Term Loan"). The outstanding balance of $95 million was retired in May 2019.

The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the borrowing availability of the Credit Facility to $1.2 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from one or more lenders. 

On October 25, 2018, the Operating Partnership entered into a Term Loan Agreement (the “Agreement”) with KeyBank National Association, as Administrative Agent (the “Agent”), and the other lenders party thereto, providing for an unsecured term loan facility of up to $250 million (the “Term Loan”). The Term Loan ranks pari passu with the Operating Partnership’s existing $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility and $200 million unsecured term loan facility documented in the Operating Partnership’s Fifth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement, dated as of July 28, 2016, as amended (the “Existing Credit Agreement”), and other unsecured indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. 

The Term Loan has a scheduled maturity date of October 24, 2025, which maturity date may be extended for up to three additional periods of one year at the Operating Partnership’s option subject to certain conditions. 

The Operating Partnership has the option to increase the Term Loan to $300 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders, whether or not currently party to the Agreement, to provide such increased amounts. The Operating Partnership is permitted to prepay the Term Loan in whole or in part, at any time, subject to a prepayment fee if prepaid on or before October 25, 2023.

As of September 30, 2019, there were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility.  Additionally, we had letters of credit outstanding which totaled $2.0 million, against which no amounts were advanced as of September 30, 2019.

The amount that we may borrow under our Credit Facility is limited by the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool.  As of September 30, 2019, the value of the assets in our unencumbered asset pool, calculated pursuant to the Credit Facility agreement, was $1.4 billion. Considering outstanding borrowings on the line of credit, term loans, unsecured notes and letters of credit, we had $580.0 million available under our Credit Facility for future borrowings as of September 30, 2019.    

Our ability to borrow under the Credit Facility is subject to our compliance with various restrictive and financial covenants, including with respect to liens, indebtedness, investments, dividends, mergers and asset sales.  As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Senior Unsecured Notes

The Operating Partnership has $550 million of senior unsecured notes maturing at various dates through September 2027 (the "Notes").  The Notes contain a number of customary financial and restrictive covenants. As of September 30, 2019, we were in compliance with all such covenants.

Fair Value of Fixed and Variable Rate Debt

As of September 30, 2019, the estimated fair value of our fixed rate debt was $0.9 billion compared to the book value of $0.9 billion.  The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 3.28% to 3.87%.  As of September 30, 2019, the fair value of variable rate debt was $322.7 million compared to the book value of $323.0 million.  The fair value was estimated using Level 2 and 3 inputs with cash flows discounted at current borrowing rates for similar instruments, which ranged from 3.12% to 3.37%.

Deferred Revenue, Intangibles, Net and Other Liabilities

Deferred Revenue, Intangibles, Net and Other Liabilities

Deferred revenue and other liabilities consist of the unamortized fair value of below market lease liabilities recorded in connection with purchase accounting, retainage payables for development and redevelopment projects, and tenant rent payments received in advance of the month in which they are due.  The amortization of below market lease liabilities is recognized as revenue over the remaining life of the leases (including option periods for leases with below market renewal options) through 2046.  Tenant rent payments received in advance are recognized as revenue in the period to which they apply, which is typically the month following their receipt.

At September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, deferred revenue, intangibles, net and other liabilities consisted of the following:

	September 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Unamortized below market lease liabilities	$	51,584	$	69,501
Retainage payables and other	2,233		2,489
Operating lease liability	27,116		—
Tenant rent payments received in advance	8,623		11,642
Total	$	89,556	$	83,632
