SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Real Estate — Real estate is carried at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for ordinary maintenance and repairs are expensed to operations as they are incurred. Significant renovations that improve or extend the useful lives of assets are capitalized. As real estate is undergoing redevelopment activities, all property operating expenses directly associated with and attributable to the redevelopment, including interest, are capitalized to the extent the capitalized costs of the property do not exceed the estimated fair value of the property when completed. If the cost of the redeveloped property, including the net book value of the existing property, exceeds the estimated fair value of redeveloped property, the excess is charged to impairment expense. The capitalization period begins when redevelopment activities are under way and ends when the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. Depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over estimated useful lives which range from one to 40 years.

Upon the acquisition of real estate, we assess the fair value of acquired assets (including land, buildings and improvements, identified intangibles, such as acquired above and below-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and assumption of liabilities and we allocate the purchase price based on these assessments on a relative fair value basis. We assess fair value based on estimated cash flow projections utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and available market information. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends, and market/economic conditions. We record acquired intangible assets (including acquired above-market leases, acquired in-place leases and tenant relationships) and acquired intangible liabilities (including below-market leases) at their estimated fair value. We amortize identified intangibles that have finite lives over the period they are expected to contribute directly or indirectly to the future cash flows of the property or business acquired.

Our properties and development projects are individually evaluated for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Such events and changes include macroeconomic conditions, operating performance, and environmental and regulatory changes, which may result in property operational disruption and could indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. An impairment exists when the carrying amount of an asset exceeds the aggregate projected future cash flows over the anticipated holding period on an undiscounted basis taking into account the appropriate capitalization rate in determining a future terminal value. An impairment loss is measured based on the excess of the property’s carrying amount over its estimated fair value. Estimated fair value may be based on discounted future cash flows utilizing appropriate discount and capitalization rates and, in addition to available market information, third-party appraisals, broker selling estimates or sale agreements under negotiation. Impairment analyses are based on our current plans, intended holding periods and available market information at the time the analyses are prepared. If our estimates of the projected future cash flows change based on uncertain market conditions, our evaluation of impairment losses may be different and such differences could be material to our consolidated financial statements.

Tenant and Other Receivables and Changes in Collectibility Assessment — Tenant receivables include unpaid amounts billed to tenants, disputed enforceable charges and accrued revenues for future billings to tenants for property expenses. We evaluate the collectibility of amounts due from tenants and disputed enforceable charges on both a lease-by-lease and a portfolio-level, which result from the inability of tenants to make required payments under their operating lease agreements. We recognize changes in the collectibility assessment of these operating leases as adjustments to rental revenue in accordance with ASC 842 Leases. Management exercises judgment in assessing collectibility and considers payment history, current credit status and publicly available information about the financial condition of the tenant, among other factors. Tenant receivables and receivables arising from the straight-lining of rents are written-off directly when management deems the collectibility of substantially all future lease payments from a specific lease is not probable, at which point, the Company will begin recognizing revenue from such leases prospectively, based on actual amounts received. This write-off effectively reduces cumulative non-cash rental income recognized from the straight-lining of rents since lease commencement. If the Company subsequently determines that it is probable it will collect substantially all of the lessee’s remaining lease payments under the lease term, the Company will reinstate the receivables balance, including those arising from the straight-lining of rents.

Recently Issued Accounting Literature — In March 2020 and January 2021, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued ASU 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting, and ASU 2021-01 Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Scope which provide temporary optional guidance to ease the potential burden in accounting for reference rate reform in contracts and other transactions that reference the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) or another reference rate expected to be discontinued because of reference rate reform, if certain criteria are met. ASU 2020-04 and ASU 2021-01 were effective for all entities as of March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. In December 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-06 Reference Rate Reform (ASC 848): Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848, which extended the final sunset date from December 31, 2022 to December 31, 2024. During June 2023, the Company entered into loan amendments to transition its four LIBOR-based loans to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). The amendments went into effect in July 2023 and did not have a material impact on the loans affected.

In August 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-05 Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formation (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement, which provides an update to the accounting treatment of joint ventures upon formation. This update requires companies to measure assets and liabilities contributed to joint ventures at fair value at the time of formation and has an effective date of January 1, 2025. The update is to be applied prospectively, with a retrospective option for previously formed joint ventures. The Company will adopt the provisions of this ASU for any future joint venture formations.

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

In December 2023, FASB issued ASU 2023-09 Income Tax (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures which provides for additional disclosures for rate reconciliations, disaggregation of income taxes paid, and other disclosures. The amendments in this ASU are effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2024. The Company will adopt and incorporate any required disclosures in its December 31, 2025 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In March 2024, FASB issued ASU 2024-01 Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope Application of Profits Interest and Similar Awards which provides clarity on how an entity determines whether a profits interest or similar award is within the scope of ASC 718. It also offers guidance on identifying whether such an award is not a share-based payment arrangement and therefore within the scope of other guidance. The Company has reviewed the update and determined it does not issue any profits interest or similar awards and therefore is not impacted by this ASU.

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

Recent SEC Reporting Updates — On March 6, 2024, the SEC issued its final ruling on The Enhancement and Standardization of Climate-Related Disclosures for Investors (Release No. 34-99678). Provisions of the final rule require registrants to include climate-related disclosures that are both qualitative and quantitative in their annual reports and registration statements. These disclosures include, but are not limited to, governance, risk management, strategy, emissions, capital expenditures, and climate-related targets and goals. The disclosure requirements will be effective for the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K beginning with the year ended December 31, 2025, with certain provisions being phased in in later periods. Subsequent to issuance, the rules became the subject of litigation, and the SEC has issued a stay to allow the legal process to proceed. The Company is continuing to review the final rule and monitoring the litigation progress for possible impacts on the disclosure requirements and will adopt the required disclosures in their effective periods.
