BUSINESS

General Development of Business

DDR Corp., an Ohio corporation (the “Company” or “DDR”), a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is in the business of acquiring, owning, developing, redeveloping, expanding, leasing and managing shopping centers.  In addition, the Company engages in the origination and acquisition of loans and debt securities, which are generally collateralized directly or indirectly by shopping centers.  Unless otherwise provided, references herein to the Company or DDR include DDR Corp., its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and its consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.  

The Company is self-administered and self-managed and, therefore, does not engage or pay a REIT advisor.  The Company manages substantially all of the Portfolio Properties as defined herein.  At December 31, 2014, the Company owned and managed more than 118 million total square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”).  

Financial Information About Industry Segments

See the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for certain information regarding the Company’s reportable segments, which is incorporated herein by reference to such information.  

Narrative Description of Business

The Company’s portfolio as of February 17, 2015, consisted of 413 shopping centers (including 189 centers owned through joint ventures) and more than 1,100 acres of undeveloped land (of which approximately 90 acres are owned through unconsolidated joint ventures).  The shopping centers and land are collectively referred to as the “Portfolio Properties.”  The shopping center properties consist of shopping centers, and to a lesser extent, enclosed malls and lifestyle centers.  From January 1, 2012, to February 17, 2015, the Company acquired 144 shopping centers (48 of which were acquired from unconsolidated joint ventures and 83 of which were acquired by two unconsolidated joint ventures) aggregating 30.5 million square feet of Company-owned GLA for an aggregate purchase price of $5.5 billion.  From January 1, 2012 to February 17, 2015, the Company sold 178 shopping centers (including 73 properties owned through unconsolidated joint ventures) aggregating 22.2 million square feet of Company-owned GLA for an aggregate sales price of $1.9 billion.  In 2014, the Company sold its entire investment in 10 assets in Brazil for an aggregate sales price of $343.6 million.  At December 31, 2014, the Company had 11 wholly-owned assets under development and/or redevelopment.  

The following tables present the operating statistics affecting base and percentage rental revenues summarized by the following portfolios:  combined shopping center portfolio, wholly-owned shopping center portfolio and joint venture shopping center portfolio.

(A)

Decrease primarily as a result of the Company’s sale of its interest in all of the assets in Brazil.  The combined shopping center portfolio and joint venture shopping center rates, excluding the assets in Brazil at December 31, 2013, were $13.35 and $12.84, respectively.  

(B)

Increase primarily due to the Company’s strategic portfolio realignment achieved through the recycling of capital from asset sales into the acquisition of high quality power centers, as well as continued leasing of the existing portfolio at positive rental spreads.  

Strategy and Philosophy

The Company’s mission is to enhance shareholder value by exceeding the expectations of its tenants, innovating to create new growth opportunities and fostering the talents of its employees while rewarding their successes.  The Company aspires to be the most admired provider of retail destinations and the first consideration for tenants, investors, partners and employees.  

The Company’s strategic objective is to invest in market-dominant power centers located in large and supply-constrained markets occupied by high credit quality retailers that cater to the consumer’s desire for value and convenience and drive increases in

4


 

asset value over the long term.  The Company will also seek to selectively acquire its partners’ economic interest in assets currently held by joint ventures.  In addition to transactional activity, growth opportunities include continued leasing efforts within the current portfolio at positive rental spreads, selective ground-up development and a redevelopment pipeline.  The Company may continue to pursue the disposition of certain real estate assets that are not likely to generate superior growth and recycle the proceeds to reinvest in power centers.  

The strategy, philosophy, investment and financing policies of the Company, and its policies with respect to certain other activities including its growth, debt capitalization, dividends, status as a REIT and operating policies, are determined by management and the Board of Directors.  Although the Board of Directors has no present intention to amend or revise its policies, the Board of Directors may do so from time to time without a vote of the Company’s shareholders.  

The Company’s key strategies are summarized as follows:

·

Selectively acquire well-located, quality shopping centers that have leases at below-market rental rates or other cash flow growth or capital appreciation potential where the Company’s financial strength, relationships with retailers and management capabilities can enhance value that will improve portfolio quality;

·

Fund acquisitions of power centers and new investments with at least 50% of the value financed through new common equity and proceeds from non-core asset sales; consistent with the commitment to lower leverage;

·

Focus on growth and value creation within the portfolio through strategic leasing, re-tenanting and redevelopment of the Company’s portfolio to be the preeminent landlord to the world’s most successful retailers.  These strategic opportunities include small shop consolidation to accommodate high credit quality national and regional tenants, as well as downsizing of junior anchors in order to enhance the merchandising mix of the assets, provide retailers with the preferred footprint and generate higher blended rents;

·

Continue leasing strategy of enhancing tenant relationships at a high level through the Company’s national account program and increasing occupancy with high-quality tenants;

·

Continue to dedicate Company resources to proactively identifying and recapturing prime units occupied by weak retailers to take advantage of the retailers’ increase in flexibility in terms of size, configuration and location;

·

Continue to focus on balance sheet improvement and lowering the Company’s cost of capital achieved through lowering leverage, maintaining a balanced debt maturity profile, extending debt duration, and improving the Company’s credit ratings and

·

Continue to dedicate resources to develop and retain top talent at all levels of the organization to maintain the Company’s position as an industry leader related to human capital management.  

Recent Developments

See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Item 7 and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014, for information on certain recent developments of the Company, which is incorporated herein by reference to such information.  

Tenants and Competition

As one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of shopping centers (measured by total GLA), the Company has established close relationships with a large number of major national and regional retailers.  The Company’s management is associated with and actively participates in many shopping center and REIT industry organizations.  

Notwithstanding these relationships, numerous developers and real estate companies, private and public, compete with the Company in leasing space in shopping centers to tenants.  The Company competes with other real estate companies and developers in terms of rental rate, property location, availability of other space, management services and maintenance.  

The Company’s five largest tenants based on the Company’s aggregate annualized base rental revenues, including its proportionate share of joint venture aggregate annualized base rental revenues, are TJX Companies, Walmart, Bed Bath & Beyond, PetSmart and Kohl’s, representing 3.5%, 3.3%, 3.0%, 2.8% and 2.3%, respectively, at December 31, 2014, of the Company’s

5


 

aggregate annualized base rental revenues.  For more information on the Company’s tenants, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Company Fundamentals.  

Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust

As of December 31, 2014, the Company met the qualification requirements of a REIT under Sections 856-860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”).  As a result, the Company, with the exception of its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and its taxable activity in Puerto Rico, will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it meets certain requirements of the Code.  

Employees

As of February 17, 2015, the Company employed 589 full-time individuals including executive, administrative and field personnel.  The Company considers its relations with its personnel to be good.  

Corporate Headquarters

The Company is an Ohio corporation and was incorporated in 1992.  The Company’s executive offices are located at 3300 Enterprise Parkway, Beachwood, Ohio 44122, and its telephone number is (216) 755-5500.  The Company’s website is http://www.ddr.com.  The Company uses its Investor Relations website (http://www.ddr.com) as a channel for routine distribution of important information, including news releases, analyst presentations and financial information.  The Company posts filings as soon as reasonably practicable after they are electronically filed with, or furnished to, the SEC, including the Company’s annual, quarterly and current reports on Forms 10-K, 10-Q and 8-K, the Company’s proxy statements and any amendments to those reports or statements.  All such postings and filings are available on the Company’s Investor Relations website free of charge.  In addition, this website allows investors and other interested persons to sign up to automatically receive e-mail alerts when the Company posts news releases and financial information on its website.  The SEC also maintains a website (http://www.sec.gov) that contains reports, proxy and information statements and other information regarding issuers that file electronically with the SEC.  The content on, or accessible through, any website referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014, is not incorporated by reference into, and shall not be deemed part of, this Form 10-K unless expressly noted.  

 

 

Item 1A.

RISK FACTORS

The risks described below could materially and adversely affect the Company’s results of operations, financial condition, liquidity and cash flows.  These risks are not the only risks the Company faces.  The Company’s business operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to it or that the Company currently considers to be immaterial to its operations.  

The Economic Performance and Value of the Company’s Shopping Centers Depend on Many Factors, Each of Which Could Have an Adverse Impact on the Company’s Cash Flows and Operating Results

The economic performance and value of the Company’s real estate holdings can be affected by many factors, including the following:

·

Changes in the national, regional, local and international economic climate;

·

Local conditions, such as an oversupply of space or a reduction in demand for real estate in the area;

·

The attractiveness of the properties to tenants;

·

Competition from other available space;

·

The increase in consumer purchases through the Internet;

·

The Company’s ability to provide adequate management services and to maintain its properties;

·

Increased operating costs, if these costs cannot be passed through to tenants and

·

The expense of periodically renovating, repairing and reletting spaces.  

6


 

Because the Company’s properties consist primarily of shopping centers, the Company’s performance is linked to general economic conditions in the market for retail space.  The market for retail space has been and may continue to be adversely affected by weakness in the national, regional and local economies, the adverse financial condition of some large retailing companies, the ongoing consolidation in the retail sector and the excess amount of retail space in a number of markets.  To the extent that any of these conditions occur, they are likely to affect market rents for retail space.  In addition, the Company may face challenges in the management and maintenance of its properties or incur increased operating costs, such as real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, that may make its properties unattractive to tenants.  The loss of rental revenues from a number of the Company’s tenants and its inability to replace such tenants may adversely affect the Company’s profitability and ability to meet its debt and other financial obligations and make distributions to shareholders.  

The Company Relies on Major Tenants, Making It Vulnerable to Changes in the Business and Financial Condition of, or Demand for Its Space by, Such Tenants

As of December 31, 2014, the annualized base rental revenues of the Company’s tenants that are equal to or exceed 1.5% of the Company’s aggregate annualized shopping center base rental revenues, including its proportionate share of joint venture aggregate annualized shopping center base rental revenues, are as follows:

The retail shopping sector has been affected by economic conditions as well as the competitive nature of the retail business and the competition for market share where stronger retailers have out-positioned some of the weaker retailers.  These shifts have forced some market share away from weaker retailers and required them, in some cases, to declare bankruptcy and/or close stores.  

As information becomes available regarding the status of the Company’s leases with tenants in financial distress or as the future plans for their spaces change, the Company may be required to write off and/or accelerate depreciation and amortization expense associated with a significant portion of the tenant-related deferred charges in future periods.  The Company’s income and ability to meet its financial obligations could also be adversely affected in the event of the bankruptcy, insolvency or significant downturn in the business of one of these tenants or any of the Company’s other major tenants.  In addition, the Company’s results could be adversely affected if any of these tenants do not renew their leases as they expire.  

The Company’s Dependence on Rental Income May Adversely Affect Its Ability to Meet Its Debt Obligations and Make Distributions to Shareholders

Substantially all of the Company’s income is derived from rental income from real property.  As a result, the Company’s performance depends on its ability to collect rent from tenants.  The Company’s income and funds for distribution would be negatively affected if a significant number of its tenants, or any of its major tenants, were to do the following:

·

Experience a downturn in their business that significantly weakens their ability to meet their obligations to the Company;

·

Delay lease commencements;

·

Decline to extend or renew leases upon expiration;

·

Fail to make rental payments when due or

7


 

·

Close stores or declare bankruptcy.

Any of these actions could result in the termination of tenants’ leases and the loss of rental income attributable to the terminated leases.  Lease terminations by an anchor tenant or a failure by that anchor tenant to occupy the premises could also result in lease terminations or reductions in rent by other tenants in the same shopping centers under the terms of some leases.  In addition, the Company cannot be certain that any tenant whose lease expires will renew that lease or that it will be able to re-lease space on economically advantageous terms.  The loss of rental revenues from a number of the Company’s major tenants and its inability to replace such tenants may adversely affect the Company’s profitability and its ability to meet debt and other financial obligations and make distributions to shareholders.  

The Company’s Ability to Increase Its Debt Could Adversely Affect Its Cash Flow

At December 31, 2014, the Company had outstanding debt of $5.2 billion (excluding its proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture mortgage debt aggregating $503.5 million as of December 31, 2014).  The Company intends to maintain a conservative ratio of debt to total market capitalization (the sum of the aggregate market value of the Company’s common shares and operating partnership units, the liquidation preference on any preferred shares outstanding and its total consolidated indebtedness).  The Company is subject to limitations under its credit facilities and indentures relating to its ability to incur additional debt; however, the Company’s organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount or percentage of indebtedness it may incur.  If the Company were to become more highly leveraged, its cash needs to fund debt service would increase accordingly.  Under such circumstances, the Company’s risk of decreases in cash flow, due to fluctuations in the real estate market, reliance on its major tenants, acquisition and development costs and the other factors discussed in these risk factors, could subject the Company to an even greater adverse impact on its financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, increased leverage could increase the risk of default on the Company’s debt obligations, which could further reduce its cash available for distribution and adversely affect its ability to dispose of its portfolio on favorable terms, which could cause the Company to incur losses and reduce its cash flows.  

Disruptions in the Financial Markets Could Affect the Company’s Ability to Obtain Financing on Reasonable Terms and Have Other Adverse Effects on the Company and the Market Price of the Company’s Common Shares

The U.S. and global equity and credit markets have experienced significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions over the last few years, which have caused market prices of many stocks to fluctuate substantially and the spreads on prospective debt financings to widen considerably.  These circumstances materially affected liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive and, in certain cases, resulting in the unavailability of certain types of financing.  Uncertainty in the equity and credit markets may negatively affect the Company’s ability to access additional financing at reasonable terms or at all, which may negatively affect the Company’s ability to refinance its debt, obtain new financing or make acquisitions.  These circumstances may also adversely affect the Company’s tenants, including their ability to enter into new leases, pay their rents when due and renew their leases at rates at least as favorable as their current rates.  

A prolonged downturn in the equity or credit markets may cause the Company to seek alternative sources of potentially less attractive financing and may require it to adjust its business plan accordingly.  In addition, these factors may make it more difficult for the Company to sell properties or may adversely affect the price it receives for properties that it does sell, as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties in obtaining financing.  These events in the equity and credit markets may make it more difficult or costly for the Company to raise capital through the issuance of its common shares or debt securities.  These disruptions in the financial markets also may have a material adverse effect on the market value of the Company’s common shares and other adverse effects on the Company or the economy in general.  There can be no assurances that government responses to the disruptions in the financial markets will restore consumer confidence, stabilize the markets or increase liquidity and the availability of equity or credit financing.  

Changes in the Company’s Credit Ratings or the Debt Markets, as well as Market Conditions in the Credit Markets, Could Adversely Affect the Company’s Publicly Traded Debt and Revolving Credit Facilities

The market value for the Company’s publicly traded debt depends on many factors, including the following:

·

The Company’s credit ratings with major credit rating agencies;

·

The prevailing interest rates being paid by, or the market price for publicly traded debt issued by, other companies similar to the Company;

·

The Company’s financial condition, liquidity, leverage, financial performance and prospects and

8


 

·

The overall condition of the financial markets.  

The condition of the financial markets and prevailing interest rates have fluctuated in the past and are likely to fluctuate in the future.  The U.S. credit markets and the sub-prime residential mortgage market have experienced severe dislocations and liquidity disruptions in the last few years.  Furthermore, uncertain market conditions can be exacerbated by leverage.  The occurrence of these circumstances in the credit markets and/or additional fluctuations in the financial markets and prevailing interest rates could have an adverse effect on the Company’s ability to access capital and its cost of capital.  

In addition, credit rating agencies continually review their ratings for the companies they follow, including the Company.  The credit rating agencies also evaluate the real estate industry as a whole and may change their credit rating for the Company based on their overall view of the industry.  Any rating organization that rates the Company’s publicly traded debt may lower the rating or decide not to rate the publicly traded debt at its sole discretion.  The ratings of the Company’s publicly traded debt are based primarily on the rating organization’s assessment of the likelihood of timely payment of interest when due and the payment of principal on the maturity date.  A negative change in the Company’s rating could have an adverse effect on the Company’s revolving credit facilities and market price of the Company’s publicly traded debt as well as the Company’s ability to access capital and its cost of capital.  

The Company’s Cash Flows and Operating Results Could Be Adversely Affected by Required Payments of Debt or Related Interest and Other Risks of Its Debt Financing

The Company is generally subject to the risks associated with debt financing.  These risks include the following:

·

The Company’s cash flow may not satisfy required payments of principal and interest;

·

The Company may not be able to refinance existing indebtedness on its properties as necessary, or the terms of the refinancing may be less favorable to the Company than the terms of existing debt;

·

Required debt payments are not reduced if the economic performance of any property declines;

·

Debt service obligations could reduce funds available for distribution to the Company’s shareholders and funds available for development, redevelopment and acquisitions;

·

Any default on the Company’s indebtedness could result in acceleration of those obligations, which could result in the acceleration of other debt obligations and possible loss of property to foreclosure and

·

The Company may not be able to finance necessary capital expenditures for purposes such as re-leasing space on favorable terms or at all.  

If a property is mortgaged to secure payment of indebtedness and the Company cannot make the mortgage payments, it may have to surrender the property to the lender with a consequent loss of any prospective income and equity value from such property, which may also adversely affect the Company’s credit ratings.  Any of these risks can place strains on the Company’s cash flows, reduce its ability to grow and adversely affect its results of operations.  

The Company’s Financial Condition Could Be Adversely Affected by Financial Covenants

The Company’s credit facilities and the indentures under which its senior and subordinated unsecured indebtedness is, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, leverage ratios and certain coverage ratios, as well as limitations on the Company’s ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, sell all or substantially all of its assets and engage in mergers and certain acquisitions.  These credit facilities and indentures also contain customary default provisions including the failure to pay principal and interest issued thereunder in a timely manner, the failure to comply with the Company’s financial and operating covenants, the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company and the failure of the Company or its majority-owned subsidiaries (i.e., entities in which the Company has a greater than 50% interest) to pay when due certain indebtedness in excess of certain thresholds beyond applicable grace and cure periods.  These covenants could limit the Company’s ability to obtain additional funds needed to address cash shortfalls or pursue growth opportunities or transactions that would provide substantial return to its shareholders.  In addition, a breach of these covenants could cause a default or accelerate some or all of the Company’s indebtedness, which could have a material adverse effect on its financial condition.  

9


 

The Company Has Variable-Rate Debt and Is Subject to Interest Rate Risk

The Company has indebtedness with interest rates that vary depending upon the market index.  In addition, the Company has revolving credit facilities that bear interest at a variable rate on any amounts drawn on the facilities.  The Company may incur additional variable-rate debt in the future.  Increases in interest rates on variable-rate debt would increase the Company’s interest expense, which would negatively affect net earnings and cash available for payment of its debt obligations and distributions to its shareholders.  

Property Ownership Through Partnerships and Joint Ventures Could Limit the Company’s Control of Those Investments and Reduce Its Expected Return

Partnership or joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by the Company, including the possibility that the Company’s partner or co-venturer might become bankrupt, that its partner or co-venturer might at any time have different interests or goals than the Company and that its partner or co-venturer may take action contrary to the Company’s instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including the Company’s policy with respect to maintaining its qualification as a REIT.  Other risks of joint venture investments include impasse on decisions, such as a sale, because neither the Company’s partner or co-venturer nor the Company would have full control over the partnership or joint venture.  These factors could limit the return that the Company receives from such investments or cause its cash flows to be lower than its estimates.  There is no limitation under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, or its Code of Regulations, as to the amount of funds that the Company may invest in partnerships or joint ventures.  In addition, a partner or co-venturer may not have access to sufficient capital to satisfy its funding obligations to the joint venture.  Furthermore, if credit conditions in the capital markets deteriorate, the Company could be required to reduce the carrying value of its equity method investments if a loss in the carrying value of the investment is considered an other than temporary decline.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company had $414.8 million of investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures holding 188 operating shopping centers.  

The Company’s Real Estate Assets May Be Subject to Impairment Charges

On a periodic basis, the Company assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of its real estate assets and other investments may be impaired.  A property’s value is impaired only if the estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property are less than the carrying value of the property.  In the Company’s estimate of cash flows, it considers factors such as expected future operating income, trends and prospects, the effects of demand, competition and other factors.  If the Company is evaluating the potential sale of an asset or development alternatives, the undiscounted future cash flow considerations include the most likely course of action at the balance sheet date based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information.  The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate assets and other investments.  These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s earnings because recording an impairment charge results in an immediate negative adjustment to earnings.  There can be no assurance that the Company will not take additional charges in the future related to the impairment of its assets.  Any future impairment could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s results of operations in the period in which the charge is taken.  

The Company’s Acquisition Activities May Not Produce the Cash Flows That It Expects and May Be Limited by Competitive Pressures or Other Factors

The Company intends to acquire existing retail properties only to the extent that suitable acquisitions can be made on advantageous terms.  Acquisitions of commercial properties entail risks, such as the following:

·

The Company may be unable to identify, or may have difficulty identifying, acquisition opportunities that fit its investment strategy;

·

The Company’s estimates on expected occupancy and rental rates may differ from actual conditions;

·

The Company’s estimates of the costs of any redevelopment or repositioning of acquired properties may prove to be inaccurate;

·

The Company may be unable to operate successfully in new markets where acquired properties are located due to a lack of market knowledge or understanding of local economies;

·

The properties may become subject to environmental liabilities that the Company was unaware of at the time the Company acquired the property;

10


 

·

The Company may be unable to successfully integrate new properties into its existing operations or

·

The Company may have difficulty obtaining financing on acceptable terms or paying the operating expenses and debt service associated with acquired properties prior to sufficient occupancy.  

In addition, the Company may not be in a position or have the opportunity in the future to make suitable property acquisitions on advantageous terms due to competition for such properties with others engaged in real estate investment that may have greater financial resources than the Company.  The Company’s inability to successfully acquire new properties may affect the Company’s ability to achieve its anticipated return on investment, which could have an adverse effect on its results of operations.  

Real Estate Property Investments Are Illiquid; Therefore, the Company May Not Be Able to Dispose of Properties When Desired or on Favorable Terms

Real estate investments generally cannot be disposed of quickly.  In addition, the federal income tax code imposes restrictions, which are not applicable to other types of real estate companies, on the ability of a REIT to dispose of properties.  Therefore, the Company may not be able to diversify its portfolio in response to economic or other conditions promptly or on favorable terms, which could cause the Company to incur losses and reduce its cash flows and adversely affect distributions to shareholders.  

The Company’s Development and Construction Activities Could Affect Its Operating Results

The Company intends to continue the selective development and construction of retail properties in accordance with its development underwriting policies as opportunities arise.  The Company expects to phase in construction until sufficient pre-leasing is reached and financing is in place.  The Company’s development and construction activities include the following risks:

·

The Company may abandon development opportunities after expending resources to determine feasibility;

·

Construction costs of a project may exceed the Company’s original estimates;

·

Occupancy rates and rents at a newly completed property may not be sufficient to make the property profitable;

·

Rental rates per square foot could be less than projected;

·

Financing may not be available to the Company on favorable terms for development of a property;

·

The Company may not complete construction and lease-up on schedule, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and

·

The Company may not be able to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining, necessary zoning, land use, building, occupancy and other required governmental permits and authorizations.  

Additionally, the time frame required for development, construction and lease-up of these properties means that the Company may wait several years for a significant cash return.  If any of the above events occur, the development of properties may hinder the Company’s growth and have an adverse effect on its results of operations and cash flows.  In addition, new development activities, regardless of whether they are ultimately successful, typically require substantial time and attention from management.

If the Company Fails to Qualify as a REIT in Any Taxable Year, It Will Be Subject to U.S. Federal Income Tax as a Regular Corporation and Could Have Significant Tax Liability

The Company intends to operate in a manner that allows it to qualify as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes.  However, REIT qualification requires that the Company satisfy numerous requirements (some on an annual or quarterly basis) established under highly technical and complex provisions of the Code, for which there are a limited number of judicial or administrative interpretations.  The Company’s status as a REIT requires an analysis of various factual matters and circumstances that are not entirely within its control.  Accordingly, the Company’s ability to qualify and remain qualified as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes is not certain.  Even a technical or inadvertent violation of the REIT requirements could jeopardize the Company’s REIT qualification.  Furthermore, Congress or the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) might change the tax laws or regulations and the courts could issue new rulings, in each case potentially having a retroactive effect that could make it more difficult or impossible for the Company to continue to qualify as a REIT.  If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any tax year, the following would result:

·

The Company would be taxed as a regular domestic corporation, which, among other things, means that it would be unable to deduct distributions to its shareholders in computing its taxable income and would be subject to U.S. federal income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate rates;

·

Any resulting tax liability could be substantial and would reduce the amount of cash available for distribution to shareholders and could force the Company to liquidate assets or take other actions that could have a detrimental effect on its operating results and

·

Unless the Company were entitled to relief under applicable statutory provisions, it would be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which the Company lost its qualification, and its cash available for debt service obligations and distribution to its shareholders, therefore, would be reduced for each of the years in which the Company does not qualify as a REIT.  

Even if the Company remains qualified as a REIT, it may face other tax liabilities that reduce its cash flow.  The Company’s TRS and its taxable activity in Puerto Rico are subject to taxation and any changes in the laws affecting the Company’s TRS may increase the Company’s tax expenses.  The Company may also be subject to certain federal, state and local taxes on its income and property either directly or at the level of its subsidiaries.  Any of these taxes would decrease cash available for debt service obligations and distribution to the Company’s shareholders.  

Compliance with REIT Requirements May Negatively Affect the Company’s Operating Decisions

To maintain its status as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, the Company must meet certain requirements on an ongoing basis, including requirements regarding its sources of income, the nature and diversification of its assets, the amounts the Company distributes to its shareholders and the ownership of its shares.  The Company may also be required to make distributions to its shareholders when it does not have funds readily available for distribution or at times when the Company’s funds are otherwise needed to fund capital expenditures or debt service obligations.  

As a REIT, the Company must distribute at least 90% of its annual net taxable income (excluding net capital gains) to its shareholders.  To the extent that the Company satisfies this distribution requirement, but distributes less than 100% of its net taxable income, the Company will be subject to U.S. federal corporate income tax on its undistributed taxable income.  In addition, the Company will be subject to a 4% non-deductible excise tax if the actual amount paid to its shareholders in a calendar year is less than the minimum amount specified under U.S. federal tax laws.  From time to time, the Company may generate taxable income greater than its income for financial reporting purposes, or its net taxable income may be greater than its cash flow available for distribution to its shareholders.  If the Company does not have other funds available in these situations, it could be required to borrow funds, sell its securities or a portion of its properties at unfavorable prices or find other sources of funds in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements and avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax.  

In addition, the REIT provisions of the Code impose a 100% tax on income from “prohibited transactions.”  Prohibited transactions generally include sales of assets that constitute inventory or other property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, other than foreclosure property.  This 100% tax could affect the Company’s decisions to sell property if it believes such sales could be treated as a prohibited transaction.  However, the Company would not be subject to this tax if it were to sell assets through its TRS.  The Company will also be subject to a 100% tax on certain amounts if the economic arrangements between the Company and its TRS are not comparable to similar arrangements among unrelated parties.  

12


 

Dividends Paid by REITs Generally Do Not Qualify for Reduced Tax Rates

In general, the maximum U.S. federal income tax rate for dividends paid to individual U.S. shareholders is 20%.  Due to its REIT status, the Company’s distributions to individual shareholders generally are not eligible for the reduced rates.  

The Company Is Subject to Litigation That Could Adversely Affect Its Results of Operations

The Company is a defendant from time to time in lawsuits and regulatory proceedings relating to its business.  Due to the inherent uncertainties of litigation and regulatory proceedings, the Company cannot accurately predict the ultimate outcome of any such litigation or proceedings.  An unfavorable outcome could adversely affect the Company’s business, financial condition or results of operations.  Any such litigation could also lead to increased volatility of the trading price of the Company’s common shares.  For a further discussion of litigation risks, see “Legal Matters” in Note 9—Commitments and Contingencies to the Consolidated Financial Statements.  

The Company’s Real Estate Investments May Contain Environmental Risks That Could Adversely Affect Its Results of Operations

The acquisition of properties may subject the Company to liabilities, including environmental liabilities.  The Company’s operating expenses could be higher than anticipated due to the cost of complying with existing or future environmental laws and regulations.  In addition, under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, the Company may be considered an owner or operator of real property or to have arranged for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic substances.  As a result, the Company may become liable for the costs of removal or remediation of certain hazardous substances released on or in its properties.  The Company may also be liable for other potential costs that could relate to hazardous or toxic substances (including governmental fines and injuries to persons and property).  The Company may incur such liability whether or not it knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances.  Such liability could be of substantial magnitude and divert management’s attention from other aspects of the Company’s business and, as a result, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition, as well as its ability to make distributions to shareholders.  

An Uninsured Loss on the Company’s Properties or a Loss That Exceeds the Limits of the Company’s Insurance Policies Could Subject the Company to Lost Capital or Revenue on Those Properties

Under the terms and conditions of the leases currently in effect on the Company’s properties, tenants generally are required to indemnify and hold the Company harmless from liabilities resulting from injury to persons, air, water, land or property, on or off the premises, due to activities conducted on the properties, except for claims arising from the negligence or intentional misconduct of the Company or its agents.  Additionally, tenants are generally required, at the tenant’s expense, to obtain and keep in full force during the term of the lease liability and full replacement value property damage insurance policies.  The Company has obtained comprehensive liability, casualty, flood, terrorism and rental loss insurance policies on its properties.  All of these policies may involve substantial deductibles and certain exclusions.  Furthermore, there is no assurance that the Company may be able to renew or secure additional insurance policies on commercially reasonable terms or at all.  In addition, tenants could fail to properly maintain their insurance policies or be unable to pay the deductibles.  Should a loss occur that is uninsured or is in an amount exceeding the combined aggregate limits for the policies noted above, or in the event of a loss that is subject to a substantial deductible under an insurance policy, the Company could lose all or part of its capital invested in, and anticipated revenue from, one or more of the properties, which could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operating results and financial condition, as well as its ability to make distributions to shareholders.  

The Company’s Properties Could Be Subject to Damage from Weather-Related Factors

A number of the Company’s properties are located in areas that are subject to natural disasters.  Certain of the Company’s properties are located in California and in other areas with higher risk of earthquakes.  In addition, many of the Company’s properties are located in coastal regions, including 15 properties located on the island of Puerto Rico as of February 17, 2015, and would therefore be affected by any future increases in sea levels or in the frequency or severity of hurricanes and tropical storms, whether such increases are caused by global climate changes or other factors.  

The Company’s Investments in Real Estate Assets Outside the Continental United States May Be Subject to Additional Risks

Investments and operations outside the continental United States generally are subject to various political and other risks that are different from and in addition to risks inherent in the investment in real estate generally discussed in these risk factors and elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The Company currently has investments in consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures with real estate assets outside the continental United States, including Puerto Rico, and may increase

13


 

its investment in real estate in jurisdictions outside the continental United States in the future.  The Company may not realize the intended benefits of these investments due to the uncertainty of foreign or novel laws and markets including, but not limited to, unexpected changes in the regulatory requirements such as the enactment of laws prohibiting or restricting the Company’s ability to own property, political and economic instability in certain geographic locations, labor disruptions, difficulties in managing international operations, potentially adverse tax consequences, including unexpected or unfavorable changes in tax structure, laws restricting the Company’s ability to transfer profits between jurisdictions or to repatriate profits to the United States, additional accounting and control expenses and the administrative burden associated with complying with laws from a variety of jurisdictions.  

In addition, financing may not be available at acceptable rates outside, and equity requirements may be different from the Company’s strategy in, the continental United States.  Each of these factors may adversely affect the Company’s ability to achieve anticipated return on investment, which could have an adverse effect on its results of operations.  

Compliance with Certain Laws and Governmental Rules and Regulations May Require the Company to Make Unplanned Expenditures That Adversely Affect the Company’s Cash Flows

The Company is required to operate its properties in compliance with certain laws and governmental rules and regulations, including the Americans with Disabilities Act, fire and safety regulations, building codes and other land use regulations, as currently in effect or as they may be enacted or adopted and become applicable to the properties, from time to time.  The Company may be required to make substantial capital expenditures to make upgrades at its properties or otherwise comply with those requirements, and these expenditures could have a material adverse effect on its ability to meet its financial obligations and make distributions to shareholders.  

The Company May Be Unable to Retain and Attract Key Management Personnel

The Company may be unable to retain and attract talented executives.  In the event of the loss of key management personnel to competitors, or upon unexpected death, disability or retirement, the Company may not be able to find replacements with comparable skill, ability and industry expertise.  The Company’s operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected until suitable replacements are identified and retained, if at all.  

The Company’s Articles of Incorporation Contain Limitations on Acquisitions and Changes in Control

In order to maintain the Company’s status as a REIT, its Articles of Incorporation prohibit any person, except for certain shareholders as set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, from owning more than 5% of the Company’s outstanding common shares.  This restriction is likely to discourage third parties from acquiring control of the Company without consent of its Board of Directors even if a change in control were in the best interests of shareholders.  

The Company Has a Number of Shareholders Who Beneficially Own a Significant Portion of Its Outstanding Common Shares, and Their Interests May Differ from the Interests of Other Shareholders

The Company’s significant shareholders are in a position to influence any matters that are brought to a vote of the holders of the Company’s common shares, including, among others, the election of the Company’s Board of Directors and any amendments to its Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations.  Without the support of the Company’s significant shareholders, certain transactions, such as mergers, tender offers, sales of assets and business combinations that could give shareholders the opportunity to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices for common shares may be more difficult to consummate.  The interests of the Company’s significant shareholders may differ from the interests of other shareholders.  If the Company’s significant shareholders sell substantial amounts of the Company’s common shares in the public market, the trading price of the Company’s common shares could decline significantly.  

Changes in Market Conditions Could Adversely Affect the Market Price of the Company’s Publicly Traded Securities

As with other publicly traded securities, the market price of the Company’s publicly traded securities depends on various market conditions, which may change from time to time.  Among the market conditions that may affect the market price of the Company’s publicly traded securities are the following:

·

The extent of institutional investor interest in the Company;

·

The reputation of REITs generally and the reputation of REITs with similar portfolios;

14


 

·

The attractiveness of the securities of REITs in comparison to securities issued by other entities (including securities issued by other real estate companies);

·

The Company’s financial condition and performance;

·

The market’s perception of the Company’s growth potential and future cash dividends;

·

An increase in market interest rates, which may lead prospective investors to demand a higher distribution rate in relation to the price paid for the Company’s shares and

·

General economic and financial market conditions.  

The Company May Issue Additional Securities Without Shareholder Approval

The Company can issue preferred shares and common shares without shareholder approval subject to certain limitations in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation.  Holders of preferred shares have priority over holders of common shares, and the issuance of additional shares reduces the interest of existing holders in the Company.  

The Company Faces Risks Relating to Cybersecurity Attacks, Loss of Confidential Information and Other Business Disruptions.

The Company’s business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity intrusions, including unintentional and intentional attempts to gain unauthorized access to confidential data and other electronic security breaches. Such cyber-attacks can range from individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to the Company’s information technology systems to more sophisticated and coordinated security threats.  While the Company employs a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats, including password protection, firewalls, backup servers, threat monitoring and periodic penetration testing, there is no guarantee such efforts will be successful in preventing a cyber-attack. Cybersecurity incidents could compromise the confidential information of the Company’s tenants, employees and third party vendors and temporarily disrupt the efficiency of our business operations.

PROPERTIES

At December 31, 2014, the Portfolio Properties included 415 shopping centers (including 189 centers owned through joint ventures).  The shopping centers consist of 405 community shopping centers and 10 enclosed malls and lifestyle centers.  At December 31, 2014, the Portfolio Properties also included more than 1,100 acres of undeveloped land, primarily development sites and parcels, located adjacent to certain of the shopping centers.  At December 31, 2014, the Portfolio Properties aggregated 87.3 million square feet of Company-owned GLA (118.1 million square feet of total GLA) located in 41 states, plus Puerto Rico.  These centers are principally in the Southeast and Midwest, with significant concentrations in Florida, Georgia, Ohio and North Carolina, as well as Puerto Rico.  The Company also owns an interest in two land parcels in Canada.  

The Company’s shopping centers are designed to attract local area customers and are typically anchored by two or more national tenant anchors (such as Walmart, Kohl’s or Target).  The properties often include discounters, warehouse clubs, dollar stores and specialty grocers as additional anchors or tenants.  The tenants of the shopping centers typically cater to the consumer’s desire for value and convenience and offer day-to-day necessities rather than high-priced luxury items.  As one of the nation’s largest owners and operators of shopping centers (measured by total GLA), the Company has established close relationships with a large number of major national and regional retailers, many of which occupy space in its shopping centers.  

At December 31, 2014, community shopping centers made up the largest portion of the Company’s portfolio, constituting 83.5 million square feet (95.6% of Company-owned GLA), while enclosed malls and lifestyle centers accounted for 3.8 million square feet (4.4% of Company-owned GLA).  At December 31, 2014, the average annualized base rent per square foot of Company-owned GLA of the Company’s 226 wholly-owned shopping centers was $14.22.  For the 189 shopping centers owned through joint ventures, average annualized base rent per square foot was $13.38 at December 31, 2014.  The Company’s average annualized base rent per square foot does not consider tenant expense reimbursements.  The Company generally does not enter into significant tenant concessions on a lease-by-lease basis.  

15


 

Information as to the Company’s 10 largest tenants based on total annualized rental revenues and Company-owned GLA at December 31, 2014, is set forth in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in Company Fundamentals of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  In addition, as of December 31, 2014, unless otherwise indicated, with respect to the 415 shopping centers:

·

156 of these properties are anchored by a Walmart, Kohl’s or Target store;

·

These properties range in size from approximately 10,000 square feet to approximately 1,500,000 square feet of total GLA (with 234 properties exceeding 200,000 square feet of total GLA, of which 103 properties exceed 400,000 square feet of total GLA);

·

78.6% of the aggregate Company-owned GLA of these properties is leased to national tenants, including subsidiaries of national tenants, 7.9% is leased to regional tenants and 7.0% is leased to local tenants;

·

93.5% of the aggregate Company-owned GLA of these properties was occupied as of December 31, 2014.  With respect to the properties owned by the Company, including its unconsolidated joint ventures, as of December 31 in each of the last five years beginning with 2010, between 88.4% and 93.5% of the aggregate Company-owned GLA of these properties was occupied and

·

The Company had 11 wholly-owned assets under development and/or redevelopment.

As of February 17, 2015, there were 7,117 record holders and approximately 34,000 beneficial owners of the Company’s common shares.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2015 dividend policy that it believes will continue to result in significant free cash flow, while still adhering to REIT payout requirements.  In January 2015, the Company declared its first-quarter 2015 dividend of $0.1725 per common share, which represents an increase of 11.3% from the first quarter of 2014, payable on April 7, 2015, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 12, 2015.

 

The decision to declare and pay dividends on the common shares in 2015, as well as the timing, amount and composition of any such future dividends, will be at the discretion of the Company’s Board of Directors and will be subject to the Company’s cash flow from operations, earnings, financial condition, capital and debt service requirements and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers relevant.  The Company is required by the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income.  The Company intends to continue to declare quarterly dividends on its common shares; however there can be no assurances as to the timing and amounts of future dividends.

 

Distributions to the extent of the Company’s current and accumulated earnings and profits for federal income tax purposes will be taxable to shareholders as with ordinary dividend income or capital gain income.  Distributions in excess of taxable earnings and profits generally will be treated as non-taxable return of capital.  These distributions, to the extent that they do not exceed the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares, have the effect of deferring taxation until the sale of the shareholder’s common shares.  To the extent that distributions are both in excess of taxable earnings and profits and in excess of the shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in its common shares, the distribution will be treated as capital gain from the sale of common shares.  For the taxable year ended December 31, 2014, approximately 76% of the Company’s distributions to shareholders constituted a return of capital, approximately 9% constituted taxable ordinary income dividends and approximately 15% constituted taxable capital gains.

 

Certain of the Company’s credit facilities and indentures contain financial and operating covenants including the requirement that the Company cannot exceed a total dividend payout ratio of 95% of the Company’s pro rata share of FFO (as defined in the agreement) for the prior 12-month period unless required to maintain REIT status.

 

The Company has a dividend reinvestment plan under which shareholders may elect to reinvest their dividends automatically in common shares.  Under the plan, the Company may, from time to time, elect to purchase common shares in the open market on behalf of participating shareholders or may issue new common shares to such shareholders.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

 

The Company is a self-administered and self-managed Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) in the business of acquiring, owning, developing, redeveloping, expanding, leasing and managing shopping centers.  In addition, the Company engages in the origination and acquisition of loans and debt securities collateralized directly or indirectly by shopping centers.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 415 shopping centers (including 189 shopping centers owned through joint ventures) in which the Company had an economic interest.  These properties consist of shopping centers owned in the United States and Puerto Rico.  At December 31, 2014, the Company owned and managed more than 118 million total square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”), which includes all of the aforementioned properties.  These amounts do not include 20 assets that the Company has a nominal interest in and has not managed since January 1, 2012.  The Company also owns more than 1,100 acres of undeveloped land, including interests in land.  At December 31, 2014, the aggregate occupancy of the Company’s operating shopping center portfolio in which the Company has an economic interest was 93.5%, and the average annualized base rent per occupied square foot was $13.91.

 

Current Strategy

 

The Company has positioned itself for growth by enhancing the quality of its portfolio, lowering its risk profile and simplifying its structure and investments.  During 2014, the Company acquired interests in market-dominant power centers located in large and supply-constrained markets occupied by high-quality retailers with strong demographic profiles, which are referred to as “Prime Portfolio” or “Prime Assets,” disposed of non-Prime Assets and selectively acquired its partners’ economic interest in centers held in joint venture structures.  The Company continues to seek to invest in Prime Assets that will improve portfolio quality, credit quality of cash flows and property-level operating results.  To advance these initiatives and further upgrade portfolio quality, the Company has a portfolio management department to identify asset-level opportunities, risks, competition and trends.

 

In addition to transactional activity, growth opportunities include continued lease-up of the portfolio, as well as selective ground-up development and redevelopment projects.  Further lease-up opportunities include recapturing prime units occupied by weaker retailers and small shop consolidation to accommodate high credit quality national and regional tenants, as well as downsizing of junior anchors in order to enhance the merchandising mix of the assets, provide retailers with the preferred footprint and generate higher blended rents.

 

The following set of core competencies is expected to continue to benefit the Company:

 

·

Strong tenant relationships with the nation’s leading retailers, maintained through a national tenant account program;

 

·

A portfolio management department tasked with constructing the optimal portfolio to achieve long-term growth and value creation after capital expenditures;

 

·

An investment group focused on selectively acquiring well-located, quality shopping centers that have leases at below-market rental rates or other cash flow growth or capital appreciation potential where the Company’s financial strength, relationships with retailers and management capabilities can enhance value and sourcing these acquisitions through identifying buyers for non-core assets;

 

·

An experienced leasing department dedicated to identifying and recapturing prime units occupied by weaker retailers to take advantage of other higher credit quality retailers’ increased flexibility in terms of size, configuration and location;

 

·

A capital markets department with broad and diverse relationships with capital providers to facilitate access to secured and unsecured, public and private capital;

 

·

An experienced funds management team dedicated to generating consistent returns and disclosure for institutional partners;

 

·

A development/redevelopment department focused on identifying viable projects with attractive returns while adhering to disciplined standards and

 

·

An overall focus on growth and value creation within the entire portfolio.

 

44


 

Transaction and Capital Markets Highlights

 

During 2014, the Company completed approximately $4.3 billion of transactions and financing activities, including the following:

 

·

Sold its entire investment in Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL (“SSB”) for gross proceeds of $343.6 million;

 

·

Formed a joint venture with an affiliate of The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) and acquired 70 shopping centers in a transaction valued at $1.93 billion (“BRE DDR Retail Holdings III”);

 

·

Acquired an additional $688.8 million of shopping centers, including the remaining 95% interest in seven centers from its existing joint venture with Blackstone (“Blackstone II Acquisition”);

 

·

Sold 82 non-Prime operating assets and 16 land parcels for $1.63 billion (47 of these assets were held in joint ventures), including the sale of its interest in SSB.  DDR’s share of these dispositions was $1.21 billion;  

 

·

Dissolved four joint ventures in 2014 and completed the exit of all markets outside North America;

 

·

Redeemed the remaining $55 million of the 7.375% Class H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares;

 

·

Closed on a $75.0 million, seven-year non-recourse mortgage loan secured by a shopping center in Puerto Rico with an interest rate of 3.59% and

 

·

Paid an annual cash dividend of $0.62 per common share, an increase of 14.8% from 2013.

 

Operational Accomplishments

 

The Company continued to improve cash flow and the quality of its portfolio in 2014 as evidenced by the achievement of the following:

 

·

Signed leases and renewals for approximately 11 million square feet of GLA which includes 8.2 million square feet of renewal volume, a historic achievement of the Company;

 

·

Increased the U.S. portfolio occupancy rate to 93.5% at year-end 2014 from 92.6% at year-end 2013;

 

·

Increased the U.S. annualized base rent per occupied square foot to $13.91 at December 31, 2014, as compared to $13.35 at December 31, 2013 and

 

·

Achieved blended leasing spreads of greater than 9% for new deals and renewals.

 

Retail Environment

 

Retailers continue to open stores to meet their growth and store opening plans.  Many retailers have aggressive store opening plans for 2015 and 2016.  With demand exceeding supply, retailers also continue to be flexible with their design and prototype requirements, in some cases reducing square footage requirements.  Further, the Company continues to see strong demand from a broad range of retailers for its space.

 

Value-oriented retailers are taking market share from conventional and national chain department stores.  The Company’s largest tenants, including TJX Companies, Walmart/Sam’s Club, Bed Bath & Beyond, PetSmart and Kohl’s, have taken market share from the department stores, while remaining well-capitalized and outperforming other retail categories on a relative basis.  In addition, the Company continues to increase exposure to specialty grocers, which are gaining market share over non-traditional grocers.

The Company leased approximately 11 million square feet, including 576 new leases and 878 renewals, for a total of 1,454 leases.  The Company continued to execute both new leases and renewals at positive rental spreads.  At December 31, 2014, the Company had 887 leases expiring in 2015 with an average base rent per square foot of $15.56.  For the comparable leases executed in 2014, the Company generated positive leasing spreads on a pro rata basis of 22.2% for new leases and 7.7% for renewals.  The Company’s leasing spread calculation includes only those deals that were executed within one year of the date the prior tenant vacated and, as a result, is a good benchmark to compare the average annualized base rent of expiring leases with the comparable executed market rental rates.

 

 

For new leases executed during 2014, the Company expended a weighted-average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions estimated at $4.47 per rentable square foot over the lease term.  The Company generally does not expend a significant amount of capital on lease renewals.

 

Year in Review—2014 Financial Results

 

For the year ended December 31, 2014, net income attributable to common shareholders increased compared to 2013 primarily due to the Gain on Sale and Change in Control of Interests recorded, substantially as a result of the sale of the Company’s interest in SSB, as well as the overall improvement in the portfolio quality and related operating results and lower impairment charges.  The following provides an overview of the key financial metrics (see Non-GAAP Financial Measures, FFO described later in this section) (in thousands except per share amounts):

During 2014, the Company continued to pursue opportunities to position itself for long-term growth while lowering the Company’s risk profile and cost of capital.  The Company continued to execute on its strategy to enhance the quality of its portfolio by recycling capital from the sale of lower quality assets into the acquisition of Prime Assets with higher growth potential and strengthening the overall operations of its portfolio.  The Company continues to carefully consider opportunities that fit its selective acquisition requirements and remains prudent in its underwriting and bidding practices.

The following discussion of the Company’s financial condition and results of operations provides information that will assist in the understanding of the Company’s financial statements, the changes in certain key items and the factors that accounted for changes in the financial statements, as well as critical accounting policies that affected these financial statements.

 

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

 

The consolidated financial statements of the Company include the accounts of the Company and all subsidiaries where the Company has financial or operating control.  The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect amounts reported in the accompanying consolidated financial statements and related notes.  In preparing these financial statements, management has used available information, including the Company’s history, industry standards and the current economic environment, among other factors, in forming its estimates and judgments of certain amounts included in the consolidated financial statements, giving due consideration to materiality.  It is possible that the ultimate outcome as anticipated by management in formulating its estimates inherent in these financial statements might not materialize.  Application of the critical accounting policies described below involves the exercise of judgment and the use of assumptions as to future uncertainties.  As a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.  In addition, other companies may use different estimates that may affect the comparability of the Company’s results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses.

 

Revenue Recognition and Accounts Receivable

 

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis that averages minimum rents over the current term of the leases.  Certain of these leases provide for percentage and overage rents based upon the level of sales achieved by the tenant.  Percentage and overage rents are recognized after a tenant’s reported sales have exceeded the applicable sales breakpoint set forth in the applicable lease.  The leases also typically provide for tenant reimbursements of common area maintenance and other operating expenses and real estate taxes.  Accordingly, revenues associated with tenant reimbursements are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred based upon the tenant lease provision.  Ancillary and other property-related income, which includes the leasing of vacant space to temporary tenants, is recognized in the period earned.  Lease termination fees are included in other revenue and recognized and earned upon termination of a tenant’s lease and relinquishment of space in which the Company has no further obligation to the tenant. Management fees are recorded in the period earned.  Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture investments is recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interest.  In 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will be effective for the Company in 2017.  Most significantly for the real estate industry, leasing transactions are not within the scope of the new standard.  A majority of the Company’s tenant-related revenue is recognized pursuant to lease agreements.

 

The Company makes estimates of the collectability of its accounts receivable related to base rents, including straight-line rentals, expense reimbursements and other revenue or income.  The Company analyzes accounts receivable, tenant credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  In addition, with respect to tenants in bankruptcy, the Company makes estimates of the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims in assessing the estimated collectability of the related receivable.  The time to resolve these claims may exceed one year.  These estimates have a direct impact on the Company’s earnings because a higher bad debt reserve and/or a subsequent write-off in excess of an estimated reserve results in reduced earnings.

 

Notes Receivable

 

Notes receivable include certain loans that are held for investment and are generally collateralized by real estate-related investments and that may be subordinate to other senior loans.  Loan receivables are recorded at stated principal amounts or at initial investment plus accretable yield for loans purchased at a discount.  The related discounts on mortgages and other loans purchased are accreted over the life of the related loan receivable.  The Company defers loan origination and commitment fees, net of origination costs, and amortizes them over the term of the related loan.  The Company evaluates the collectability of both principal and interest on each loan based on an assessment of the underlying collateral value to determine whether it is impaired, and not by the use of internal risk ratings.  A loan loss reserve is recorded when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms, and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated.  When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value of the underlying collateral.  As the underlying collateral for a majority of the notes receivable is real estate-related investments, the same valuation techniques are used to value the collateral as those used to determine the fair value of real estate investments for impairment purposes.  Given the small number of loans outstanding, the Company does not provide for an additional allowance for loan losses based on the grouping of loans, as the Company believes the characteristics of the loans are not sufficiently similar to allow an evaluation of these loans as a group.  As such, all of the Company’s loans are evaluated individually for this purpose.  Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned.  A loan is placed on non-accrual status when, based upon current information and events, it

48


 

is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms.  Interest income on non-performing loans is generally recognized on a cash basis.  Recognition of interest income on an accrual basis on non-performing loans is resumed when it is probable that the Company will be able to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms.  

 

Consolidation

 

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Investments in real estate joint ventures in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or loss) of these joint ventures is included in consolidated net income.

 

The Company has a number of joint venture arrangements with varying structures.  The Company consolidates entities in which it owns less than a 100% equity interest if it is determined that it is a variable interest entity (“VIE”), and the Company has a controlling interest in that VIE or is the controlling general partner.  The analysis to identify whether the Company is the primary beneficiary of a VIE is based upon which party has (a) the power to direct activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s economic performance and (b) the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could potentially be significant to the VIE.  In determining whether it has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly affect the VIE’s performance, the Company is required to assess whether it has an implicit financial responsibility to ensure that a VIE operates as designed.  This qualitative assessment has a direct impact on the Company’s financial statements, as the detailed activity of off-balance sheet joint ventures is not presented within the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

 

Real Estate and Long-Lived Assets

 

Properties are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets.  The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to the useful lives of its properties to determine the amount of depreciation to reflect on an annual basis with respect to those properties.  These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income.  If the Company were to extend the expected useful life of a particular asset, it would be depreciated over more years and result in less depreciation expense and higher annual net income.

 

On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of real estate assets, including land held for development and construction in progress, and intangibles may be impaired.  A property’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the aggregate future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) to be generated by the property are less than the carrying value of the property.  The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates by management.  In management’s estimate of cash flows, it considers factors such as expected future operating income (loss), trends and prospects, the effects of demand, competition and other factors.  If the Company is evaluating the potential sale of an asset or development alternatives, the undiscounted future cash flows analysis is probability-weighted based upon management’s best estimate of the likelihood of the alternative courses of action.  Subsequent changes in estimated undiscounted cash flows arising from changes in anticipated actions could affect the determination of whether an impairment exists and whether the effects could have a material impact on the Company’s net income.  To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss will be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the property over the fair value of the property.

 

The Company is required to make subjective assessments as to whether there are impairments in the value of its real estate properties and other investments.  These assessments have a direct impact on the Company’s net income because recording an impairment charge results in an immediate negative adjustment to net income.  If the Company’s estimates of the projected future cash flows, anticipated holding periods or market conditions change, its evaluation of the impairment charges may be different and such differences could be material to the consolidated financial statements.  Plans to hold properties over longer periods decrease the likelihood of recording impairment losses.  

 

The Company allocates the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition.  In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangible assets and liabilities acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence, marketing and leasing activities.  It applies various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections using appropriate discount and capitalization rates, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation and available market information.  If the Company determines that an event has occurred after the initial allocation of the asset or liability that would change the estimated useful life of the asset, the Company will reassess the depreciation and amortization of the asset.  The Company is required to make subjective estimates in connection with these valuations and allocations.  

 

49


 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements—Impairment Assessment

 

The Company has a number of off-balance sheet joint ventures and other unconsolidated arrangements with varying structures.  On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired.  An investment’s value is impaired only if management’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment and such loss is deemed to be other than temporary.  To the extent an impairment has occurred, the loss is measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the estimated fair value of the investment.

 

Measurement of Fair Value—Real Estate and Unconsolidated Joint Venture Investments

 

The Company is required to assess the value of certain impaired consolidated and unconsolidated joint venture investments as well as the underlying collateral for certain financing notes receivable.  The fair value of real estate investments used in the Company’s impairment calculations is estimated based on the price that would be received to sell an asset in an orderly transaction between marketplace participants at the measurement date.  Investments without a public market are valued based on assumptions made and valuation techniques used by the Company.  The availability of observable transaction data and inputs can make it more difficult and/or subjective to determine the fair value of such investments.  As a result, amounts ultimately realized by the Company from investments sold may differ from the fair values presented, and the differences could be material.

 

The valuation of impaired real estate assets, investments and real estate collateral is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including the income capitalization approach or discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each asset considering prevailing market capitalization rates, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations, bona fide purchase offers received from third parties and/or consideration of the amount that currently would be required to replace the asset, as adjusted for obsolescence.  In general, the Company considers multiple valuation techniques when measuring fair value of an investment.  However, in certain circumstances, a single valuation technique may be appropriate.

 

For operational real estate assets, the significant assumptions include the capitalization rate used in the income capitalization valuation as well as the projected property net operating income and expected hold period.  For projects under development, the significant assumptions include the discount rate, the timing for the construction completion and project stabilization and the exit capitalization rate.  For investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company also considers the valuation of any underlying joint venture debt.  Valuation of real estate assets is calculated based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the measurement date, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or the underlying assumptions change.

 

Real Estate Held for Sale

 

Pursuant to the definition of a component of an entity, assuming no significant continuing involvement, the sale of a property is considered discontinued operations.  In addition, the operations from properties classified as held for sale are considered discontinued operations.  The Company generally considers assets to be held for sale when the transaction has been approved by the appropriate level of management and there are no known significant contingencies relating to the sale such that the sale of the property within one year is considered probable.  This generally occurs when a sales contract is executed with no contingencies and the prospective buyer has significant funds at risk to ensure performance.  Accordingly, the results of operations of operating properties disposed of or classified as held for sale, for which the Company has no significant continuing involvement, are reflected in the current period and retrospectively as discontinued operations.

 

Deferred Tax Assets and Tax Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for income taxes related to its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and its taxable activity in Puerto Rico under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements.  The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized.  In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including forecasts of future taxable income, the reversal of other existing temporary differences, available net operating loss carryforwards, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations.  Several of these considerations require assumptions and significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is utilizing to manage its business.  Based on this assessment, management must evaluate the need for, and amount of, valuation allowances against the Company’s deferred tax assets.  The Company would record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it has determined that an uncertainty exists regarding their realization, which would increase the provision for income taxes.  To the extent facts and circumstances change in the future, adjustments to the valuation allowances may be required.  In the event the Company were to determine that it would be able to realize the deferred income tax

50


 

assets in the future in excess of their net recorded amount, the Company would adjust the valuation allowance, which would reduce the provision for income taxes.  The Company makes certain estimates in the determination of the use of valuation reserves recorded for deferred tax assets.  These estimates could have a direct impact on the Company’s earnings, as a difference in the tax provision would impact the Company’s earnings.

 

The Company has made estimates in assessing the impact of the uncertainty of income taxes.  Accounting standards prescribe a recognition threshold and measurement attribute criteria for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return.  The standards also provide guidance on de-recognition, classification, interest and penalties, accounting in interim periods, disclosure and transition.  These estimates have a direct impact on the Company’s net income because higher tax expense will result in reduced earnings.

 

Stock-Based Employee Compensation

 

Stock-based compensation requires all stock-based payments to employees, including grants of stock options, to be recognized in the financial statements based on their fair value.  The fair value is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option pricing model with weighted-average assumptions for the activity under stock plans.  Option pricing model input assumptions, such as expected volatility, expected term and risk-free interest rate, all impact the fair value estimate.  Further, the forfeiture rate has an impact on the amount of aggregate compensation.  These assumptions are subjective and generally require significant analysis and judgment to develop.

 

When estimating fair value, some of the assumptions will be based on or determined from external data, and other assumptions may be derived from experience with stock-based payment arrangements.  The appropriate weight to place on experience is a matter of judgment, based on relevant facts and circumstances.

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Comparable Portfolio Properties’ aggregate occupancy rate was 93.6% and, for the year ended December 31, 2012, 92.9%.  For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Comparable Portfolio Properties’ average annualized base rent per occupied square foot was $14.01, $13.40 and $12.74, respectively.

 

Comparison of 2014 to 2013

 

The decrease in the combined and joint venture portfolios’ average annualized base rent per occupied square foot primarily was due to the Company’s sale of its entire interest in SSB.  The combined shopping center and joint venture shopping center portfolios’ rates excluding the SSB assets at December 31, 2013, were $13.35 and $12.84, respectively.  

 

The increase in the wholly-owned portfolio’s average annualized base rent per occupied square foot primarily was due to the Company’s strategic portfolio realignment achieved through the recycling of capital from asset sales into the acquisition of Prime power centers, including the Blackstone II Acquisition (see 2014 Strategic Transaction Activity), as well as continued leasing of the existing portfolio at positive rental spreads.  

 

Comparison of 2013 to 2012

 

The increase in average annualized base rent per occupied square foot primarily was due to the acquisition of Blackstone’s remaining 95% interest in 30 assets (the “Blackstone I Acquisition”), as well as continued leasing of the existing portfolio at positive rental spreads and asset sales.

 

(B)

The increase in recoveries from tenants primarily was driven by the impact of acquired properties with higher recovery rates.  Recoveries from tenants for all properties on a blended basis were approximately 91.0%, 90.8% and 90.9% of reimbursable operating expenses and real estate taxes for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The overall increased percentage of recoveries from tenants over the three-year period primarily was attributable to higher occupancy and newly acquired assets.

Comparison of 2014 to 2013

 

The decrease in management, development and other fee income in 2014, compared to 2013, was largely the result of a decrease in the number of properties owned by the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, partially offset by BRE DDR Retail Holdings III, the newly formed joint venture with Blackstone, which owns 70 properties.  During 2014, the Company dissolved two joint ventures and acquired eight assets from two other joint ventures.  The Company had 188 joint venture shopping centers at December 31, 2014, as compared to 170 at December 31, 2013.  

 

Comparison of 2013 to 2012

 

The decrease in management, development and other fee income in 2013, compared to 2012, was largely the result of a decrease in the number of properties owned by the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures.  In particular, this fee income decreased as a result of the Blackstone I Acquisition that closed in October 2013 (see 2013 Strategic Transaction Activity).  In addition, during 2013 the Company executed lease terminations with non-performing tenants, with one lease representing $4.4 million of the total.

The weighted-average interest rate of loan receivables, including loans to affiliates, was 8.1%, 8.9% and 8.7% at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The change in the amount of interest income recognized in each of the three years primarily is due to preferred equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures with Blackstone (see 2014 Strategic Transaction Activity and 2013 and 2012 Strategic Transaction Activity) and two additional mezzanine notes executed in 2013.

The changes in equity in net income were due to the following:

 

Comparison of 2014 to 2013

 

The increase in equity in net income of joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the prior year primarily was a result of gains recognized in 2014 from the sale of assets held in joint ventures and lower impairment charges, partially offset by lower net income from the Company’s investment in SSB in 2014 related to the sale of its interest in the joint venture (see 2014 Strategic Transaction Activity).

 

55


 

Comparison of 2013 to 2012

 

The decrease in equity in net income of joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to the prior year primarily was a result of lower net income from the Company’s investment in SSB in 2013 including the impact of foreign currency translation.  In addition, impairment charges were recorded on several assets at other unconsolidated investments.  As discussed below, SSB recorded nonrecurring transactional gains in 2012.  For the year ended December 31, 2013, impairment charges were recorded at unconsolidated shopping center assets of which the Company’s proportionate share was approximately $10.6 million.

At each of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the Company had an approximate 33% interest in Sonae Sierra Brasil, S.A. (“Sonae Sierra Brasil”), an unconsolidated joint venture, which owned real estate in Brazil and is headquartered in Sao Paulo, Brazil.  This entity uses the functional currency of Brazilian real.  The weighted-average exchange rates used for recording the equity in net income into U.S. dollars were 2.26 for the Company’s ownership period in 2014, and 2.14 and 1.94 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

The other than temporary impairment charges of the joint venture investments are more fully described in Note 12 “Impairment Charges and Impairment of Joint Venture Investments,” of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein.

 

(C)

Since January 1, 2012, the Company has acquired its partners’ interests in 48 shopping centers (eight in 2014, 35 in 2013 and five in 2012).  These properties were previously unconsolidated, and the Company accounted for these transactions as step acquisitions.  In 2014, the activity primarily related to the gains associated with the Company’s sale of its 50% interest in SSB and the Blackstone II Acquisition.  This gain includes the release of $19.7 million of foreign currency translation from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.  Additionally, in 2012, the Company sold its interest in two investments.  Due to the change in control that occurred, the Company recorded an aggregate net gain associated with these transactions related to the difference between the Company’s carrying value and fair value of the previously held equity interests.

Amounts are generally attributable to the sale of land.  The sales of land did not meet the criteria for discontinued operations because the land did not have any significant operations prior to disposition.

Change in non-controlling interests for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 2013 primarily was the result of the net gain/loss allocated to the minority partners related to the sale of land held for development in Russia and in Canada and the sale of a shopping center asset in 2014.  In 2014, the Company divested all of its interests in assets outside North America.

56


 

 

(C)

For the year ended December 31, 2014, the increase in net income attributable to DDR compared to 2013 primarily was due to the Gain on Sale and Change in Control of Interests recorded substantially related to the sale of the Company’s interest in SSB and the overall improvement in the portfolio quality and related operating results, as well as a reduction in asset impairment charges.

 

 

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

Definition and Basis of Presentation

 

The Company believes that Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Operating FFO, both non-GAAP financial measures, provide additional and useful means to assess the financial performance of REITs.  FFO and Operating FFO are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties to evaluate the performance of REITs.

 

FFO excludes GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and real estate investments, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time.  Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions, and many companies use different depreciable lives and methods.  Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from depreciable property dispositions and extraordinary items, it can provide a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition, disposition and development activities and interest costs.  This provides a perspective of the Company’s financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP.

 

FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as net income (loss), adjusted to exclude (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains and losses from disposition of depreciable real estate property and related investments, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) impairment charges on depreciable real estate property and related investments, (iv) extraordinary items and (v) certain non-cash items.  These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income (loss) from joint ventures and equity income (loss) from non-controlling interests and the Company’s proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests, determined on a consistent basis.  The Company’s calculation of FFO is consistent with the definition of FFO provided by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  Other real estate companies may calculate FFO in a different manner.

 

The Company believes that certain gains and charges recorded in its operating results are not reflective of its core operating performance.  As a result, the Company also computes Operating FFO and discusses it with the users of its financial statements, in addition to other measures such as net income/loss determined in accordance with GAAP as well as FFO.  Operating FFO is generally defined and calculated by the Company as FFO excluding certain charges and gains that management believes are not indicative of the results of the Company’s operating real estate portfolio.  The disclosure of these charges and gains is regularly requested by users of the Company’s financial statements.  The adjustment for these charges and gains may not be comparable to how other REITs or real estate companies calculate their results of operations, and the Company’s calculation of Operating FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO.  Additionally, the Company provides no assurances that these charges and gains are non-recurring.  These charges and gains could be reasonably expected to recur in future results of operations.

 

These measures of performance are used by the Company for several business purposes and by other REITs.  The Company uses FFO and/or Operating FFO in part (i) as a disclosure to improve the understanding of the Company’s operating results among the investing public, (ii) as a measure of a real estate asset’s performance, (iii) to influence acquisition, disposition and capital investment strategies and (iv) to compare the Company’s performance to that of other publicly traded shopping center REITs.

 

For the reasons described above, management believes that FFO and Operating FFO provide the Company and investors with an important indicator of the Company’s operating performance.  They provide recognized measures of performance other than GAAP net income, which may include non-cash items (often significant).  Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner.

 

Management recognizes the limitations of FFO and Operating FFO when compared to GAAP’s income from continuing operations.  FFO and Operating FFO do not represent amounts available for dividends, capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations or other commitments and uncertainties.  Management does not use FFO or Operating FFO as an indicator of the Company’s cash obligations and funding requirements for future commitments, acquisitions or development activities.  Neither FFO nor Operating FFO represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and neither is necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs.  Neither FFO nor Operating FFO should be considered an alternative to net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.  FFO and Operating FFO are simply used as

57


 

additional indicators of the Company’s operating performance.  The Company believes that to further understand its performance, FFO and Operating FFO should be compared with the Company’s reported net income (loss) and considered in addition to cash flows determined in accordance with GAAP, as presented in its consolidated financial statements.

Comparison of 2014 to 2013

 

The decrease in FFO for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 2013, primarily was due to the impact of asset dispositions, including the sale of the Company’s interest in SSB, an increase in impairment charges of non-depreciable assets and an executive separation charge.  These factors were partially offset by the impact of Prime power center acquisitions, organic growth and the reduction of the write-off of the original issuance costs from the redemption of the 7.375% Class H Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (“Class H Preferred Shares”) compared to 2013.  

 

The increase in Operating FFO for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 2013, primarily was due to the same factors impacting FFO.

 

Comparison of 2013 to 2012

 

The increase in FFO for the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to 2012, primarily was due to organic growth and net shopping center acquisition activity and the gain on change in control of interests recorded in 2013, a reduction in impairment charges of non-depreciable assets and the loss on debt retirement related to the Company’s repurchase of the senior unsecured notes in 2012.

 

The increase in Operating FFO for the year ended December 31, 2013, as compared to 2012, primarily was due to organic growth, as well as shopping center acquisition transactions, partially offset by asset dispositions.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

The Company periodically evaluates opportunities to issue and sell additional debt or equity securities, obtain credit facilities from lenders, or repurchase or refinance long-term debt for strategic reasons or to further strengthen the financial position of the Company.  In 2014, the Company continued to strategically allocate cash flow from operating and financing activities.  

 

The Company’s consolidated and unconsolidated debt obligations generally require monthly or semi-annual payments of principal and/or interest over the term of the obligation.  While the Company currently believes it has several viable sources to obtain capital and fund its business, including capacity under its facilities described below, no assurance can be provided that these obligations will be refinanced or repaid as currently anticipated.  

 

The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, arranged by J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”).  The Unsecured Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $750 million and includes an accordion feature for expansion of availability up to $1.25 billion upon the Company’s request, provided that new or existing lenders agree to the existing terms of the facility and increase their commitment level.  The Company also maintains a $65 million unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association (together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”).  The Company’s borrowings under these facilities bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 115 basis points at December 31, 2014, subject to adjustment based on the Company’s current corporate credit ratings from Moody’s Investors Service (“Moody’s”) and Standard and Poor’s (“S&P”).

 

The Revolving Credit Facilities and the indentures under which the Company’s senior and subordinated unsecured indebtedness is, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating covenants including, among other things, leverage ratios and debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as limitations on the Company’s ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and engage in mergers and certain acquisitions.  The covenants also require that the Company cannot exceed a total dividend payout ratio of 95% of the Company's pro rata share of Funds From Operations (as defined in the agreement) for the prior 12-month period unless required to maintain REIT status.  These credit facilities and indentures also contain customary default provisions including the failure to make timely payments of principal and interest payable thereunder, the failure to comply with the Company’s financial and operating covenants, the occurrence of a material adverse effect on the Company and the failure of the Company or its majority-owned subsidiaries (i.e., entities in which the Company has a greater than 50% interest) to pay, when due, certain indebtedness in excess of certain thresholds beyond applicable grace and cure periods.  In the event the Company’s lenders or note holders declare a default, as defined in the applicable agreements governing the debt, the Company may be unable to obtain further funding, and/or an acceleration of any outstanding borrowings may occur.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company was in compliance with all of its financial covenants in the agreements governing its debt.  Although the Company intends to operate in compliance with these covenants, if the Company were to violate these covenants, the Company may be subject to higher finance costs and fees or accelerated maturities.  The Company believes it will continue to be able to operate in compliance with these covenants in 2015 and beyond.

 

Certain of the Company’s credit facilities and indentures permit the acceleration of the maturity of the underlying debt in the event certain other debt of the Company has been accelerated.  Furthermore, a default under a loan by the Company or its affiliates, a foreclosure on a mortgaged property owned by the Company or its affiliates or the inability to refinance existing indebtedness may have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.  These facts, and an inability to predict future economic conditions, have led the Company to adopt a strict focus on lowering its balance sheet risk and increasing financial flexibility.

 

The Company expects to fund its obligations from available cash, current operations and utilization of its Revolving Credit Facilities; however, the Company may issue long-term debt and/or equity securities in lieu of, or in addition to, borrowing under its Revolving Credit Facilities.  The following information summarizes the availability of the Revolving Credit Facilities at December 31, 2014 (in millions):

At December 31, 2014, the Company had a continuous equity program that allowed for the future issuance of up to $250.0 million of common shares.  As of February 17, 2015, the Company had available for future issuance up to $234.6 million of its common shares under this program.

 

The Company intends to continue to maintain a long-term financing strategy with limited reliance on short-term debt.  The Company believes its Revolving Credit Facilities are sufficient for its liquidity strategy and longer-term capital structure needs.  Part of the Company’s overall strategy includes scheduling future debt maturities in a balanced manner, including incorporating a healthy level of conservatism regarding possible future market conditions.  For additional discussion, see Financing Activities described later in this section.

 

At December 31, 2014, the Company’s 2015 debt maturities consisted of $153.0 million of unsecured notes, $350.0 million of convertible unsecured notes and $434.2 million of consolidated mortgage debt.  The Company expects to fund these obligations from public debt offerings, possible refinancing opportunities, utilization of its Revolving Credit Facilities or cash flow from operations.  No assurance can be provided that these obligations will be refinanced or repaid as currently anticipated.  

In January 2015, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior unsecured notes due February 2025.  Net proceeds from the issuance were used to repay $350.0 million of debt under the Company’s Unsecured Term Loan, $100.0 million of debt under the Company’s Secured Term Loan and amounts outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facilities.

 

Management believes the scheduled debt maturities in 2015 and in future years are manageable.  The Company continually evaluates its debt maturities and, based on management’s assessment, believes it has viable financing and refinancing alternatives.  The Company continues to evaluate its debt maturing in 2015with the goal of executing a strategy to extend debt duration, lower leverage, increase liquidity and improve the Company’s credit ratings with the goal of lowering the Company's balance sheet risk and cost of capital.

 

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

 

The Company’s unconsolidated joint venture mortgage debt attributable to the Coventry II Fund assets that had matured and was past due at December 31, 2014, or was maturing in 2015 (see Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements, Coventry II Fund and Note 9 “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included herein), was $155.1 million at December 31, 2014 (of which the Company’s proportionate share was $26.6 million).

 

At December 31, 2014, the Company’s remaining unconsolidated joint venture mortgage debt maturing in 2015 was $20.1 million (of which the Company’s proportionate share was $4.0 million), which was refinanced in February 2015.

 

Cash Flow Activity

 

The Company’s core business of leasing space to well-capitalized retailers continues to generate consistent and predictable cash flow after expenses, interest payments and preferred share dividends.  This capital is available for use at the Company’s discretion for investment, debt repayment and the payment of dividends on common shares.

Operating Activities:  The change in cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily was due to a full year of cash flow from assets acquired in 2013 and an increase in cash flow from those assets acquired in 2014 from the date of acquisition.

 

Investing Activities:  The change in cash flow from investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily was due to proceeds received from the sale of assets, mainly from the Company’s 50% interest in SSB, and a decrease in real estate acquisitions, partially offset by an increase in advances to joint ventures.

 

61


 

Financing Activities:  The change in cash flow from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to the year ended December 31, 2013, primarily was due to an increase in overall debt repayment activity and a decrease in proceeds from the issuance of common shares and senior notes.

 

The Company satisfied its REIT requirement of distributing at least 90% of ordinary taxable income with declared common and preferred share cash dividends of $246.9 million in 2014, as compared to $205.4 million of cash dividends paid in 2013 and $169.8 million of cash dividends paid in 2012.  Because actual distributions were greater than 100% of taxable income, federal income taxes were not incurred by the Company in 2014.

 

The Company declared cash dividends of $0.62 per common share in 2014.  In January 2015, the Company declared its first quarter 2015 dividend of $0.1725 per common share payable on April 7, 2015, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 12, 2015.  The Board of Directors of the Company expects to continue to monitor the 2015 dividend policy and provide for adjustments as determined to be in the best interests of the Company and its shareholders to maximize the Company’s free cash flow while still adhering to REIT payout requirements.  

 

 

SOURCES AND USES OF CAPITAL

 

2014 Strategic Transaction Activity

 

The Company has a portfolio management strategy to recycle capital from lower quality, lower growth potential assets into Prime Assets located in large and supply-constrained markets occupied by high credit quality retailers.  Transactions are completed both on balance sheet and through off-balance sheet joint venture arrangements with top tier, well capitalized partners.

 

Acquisitions

 

In 2014, the Company acquired five Prime Assets (Roseville, California; Colorado Springs, Colorado; Chicago; Illinois; Cincinnati, Ohio and Philadelphia, Pennsylvania).  In addition, the Company acquired its partner’s share of eight assets held through joint ventures.  These assets aggregate 2.8 million square feet of Company-owned GLA and were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $688.8 million.  The Company assumed $281.7 million of mortgage debt at a fair value of $293.3 million and issued 1.0 million Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”) valued at $17.9 million at closing in connection with these acquisitions.  

 

Dispositions

 

Disposition of Joint Venture Interest

 

In 2014, the Company sold its entire investment in SSB for $343.6 million to Mr. Alexander Otto and certain of his affiliates.  Through this investment, the Company owned an approximate 33% interest in Sonae Sierra Brasil, as well as an indirect ownership in the Parque Dom Pedro shopping center.  Dr. Finne, a director of DDR, is a Managing Director of certain entities affiliated with Mr. Otto, which entities purchased a portion of the Company’s ownership in SSB.  The Company believes that the sales price and other terms of the transaction were negotiated on terms equivalent to those prevailing in an arms’ length transaction.  The transaction was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, with the two board members recommended for nomination by Mr. Otto recusing themselves.

 

Other Dispositions

 

In 2014, the Company sold 35 shopping center properties, aggregating 5.7 million square feet, and other consolidated non-income producing assets for an aggregate sales price of $654.0 million.  The Company recorded a net gain of $99.1 million, which excludes the impact of an aggregate $102.7 million in related impairment charges that were recorded in prior periods related to the assets sold in 2014.  One of the land parcels sold was the entire acreage of land held for development in Russia.

Represents a liquidation of the joint venture.

 

As discussed above, a part of the Company’s portfolio management strategy is to recycle capital from lower quality, lower growth assets into the acquisition of higher quality assets with long-term growth potential.  The Company has been marketing certain assets for sale that do not meet the Company’s current business strategy.  The Company evaluates all potential sale opportunities taking into account the long-term growth prospects of assets being considered for sale, the use of sale proceeds and the impact to the Company’s balance sheet, in addition to the impact on operating results.  Accordingly, if actual results differ from expectations, it is possible that additional assets could be sold in subsequent periods for a gain or loss after taking into account the above considerations.

 

Transactions with Blackstone

 

The Company has invested in several joint venture arrangements with Blackstone.  Each of the joint ventures is structured with Blackstone owning 95% of the common equity and a consolidated affiliate of DDR owning the remaining 5%.  DDR also invested preferred equity in each joint venture.  The transactions completed are as follows:

 

BRE DDR Retail Holdings I

 

In 2012, BRE DDR Retail Holdings I, a joint venture between consolidated affiliates of the Company and Blackstone, acquired a portfolio of 44 shopping centers aggregating 10.6 million square feet of GLA.  The transaction was valued at $1.4 billion.  The Company contributed $17.0 million to the joint venture for its common equity interest and also invested $150.0 million in preferred equity in the joint venture with a fixed dividend rate of 10% per annum.

 

In 2013, the Company acquired Blackstone’s 95% interest in 30 of these shopping centers aggregating 11.8 million square feet of GLA (“Blackstone I Acquisition”).  The transaction was valued at $1.55 billion at 100%.  In connection with the closing, the Company assumed Blackstone’s 95% share of $792.9 million of mortgage debt, at face value, of which $395.0 million was repaid by December 31, 2013.  In addition, $160.1 million of the preferred equity interest and mezzanine loan previously funded by the Company was repaid upon closing.  The portfolio of properties has been owned, developed, leased and managed through various ventures affiliated with the Company since 1995.  The Company recorded a Gain on Change in Control of Interests of $18.8 million related to this transaction.

 

In 2014, DDR acquired Blackstone’s 95% interest in one Prime power center asset for $14.8 million. The Company recorded a Gain on Change in Control of Interests of $0.3 million related to this transaction.  The other 13 assets were sold to third parties in multiple transactions in 2014.

 

BRE DDR Retail Holdings II

 

In 2013, consolidated affiliates of the Company and Blackstone acquired a portfolio of seven shopping centers aggregating approximately 2.4 million square feet of GLA.  The purchase price in 2013 was $332.0 million, including assumed debt of $206.6 million and $28.0 million of new mortgage debt.  DDR also invested $30.0 million in preferred equity in the joint venture with a fixed dividend rate of 9% per annum.  

 

In 2014, the Company acquired sole ownership of these assets.  The transaction was valued at $395.3 million at 100%.  In connection with the closing, the Company assumed Blackstone’s 95% share of $233.3 million of mortgage debt, at face value, of which $28.0 million was repaid upon closing.  In addition, $31.2 million of the preferred equity interest previously funded by the

63


 

Company was repaid upon closing.  The Company recorded a Gain on Change in Control of Interests of $4.0 million related to this transaction.

 

BRE DDR Retail Holdings III

 

In 2014, a newly formed joint venture between a consolidated affiliate of the Company and Blackstone acquired 70 shopping centers (“BRE DDR Retail Holdings III”), aggregating 11.4 million square feet of owned-GLA, in a transaction valued at $1.93 billion.  DDR invested $19.6 million in common equity and $300 million in preferred equity in the joint venture with a fixed preferred dividend rate of 8.5% per annum.  The joint venture was funded through assumed debt of $436.8 million and new financing of $800.0 million. DDR provides customary leasing and management services and has the right of first offer to acquire 10 of the assets under specified conditions consistent with past transactions with Blackstone.

 

Development and Redevelopment Opportunities

 

The Company will generally commence construction on various developments only after substantial tenant leasing has occurred and acceptable construction financing is available.  The Company will continue to closely monitor its expected spending in 2015 for developments and redevelopments as the Company considers this funding to be discretionary spending.  The Company does not anticipate expending significant funds on joint venture development projects in 2015.

 

One of the important benefits of the Company’s asset class is the ability to phase development and redevelopment projects over time until appropriate leasing levels can be achieved.  To maximize the return on capital spending, the Company generally adheres to strict investment criteria thresholds.  The Company also evaluates the credit quality of the tenants and, in the case of redevelopments, generally seeks to upgrade the retailer merchandise mix. The Company applies this strategy to both its consolidated and certain unconsolidated joint ventures that own assets under development and redevelopment because the Company has significant influence and, in most cases, approval rights over decisions relating to significant capital expenditures.

 

The Company’s consolidated land holdings are classified in two separate line items on the consolidated balance sheets included herein, (i) Land and (ii) Land Held for Development and Construction in Progress.  At December 31, 2014, the $2.2 billion of Land classified on the Company’s balance sheet primarily consisted of land that is part of its operating shopping center portfolio.  However, this amount also includes a small portion of vacant land composed primarily of outlots or expansion pads adjacent to the shopping center properties.  Approximately 116 acres of this land, which has a recorded cost basis of approximately $9 million, is available for future development.

 

Included in Land Held for Development and Construction in Progress at December 31, 2014, were $147.9 million of recorded costs related to land and projects under development, for which active construction has temporarily ceased or has not yet commenced.  The Company estimates that if it proceeded with the development of these sites, approximately 2.0 to 3.0 million square feet of GLA could be developed.  Based on the Company’s intentions and business plans, the Company believes that the expected undiscounted cash flows exceed its current carrying value on each of these projects.  However, if the Company were to dispose of certain of these assets in the market, the Company would likely incur a loss, which may be material.  The Company evaluates its intentions with respect to these assets each reporting period and records an impairment charge equal to the difference between the current carrying value and fair value when the expected undiscounted cash flows are less than the asset’s carrying value.

 

Development and Redevelopment Projects

 

As part of its portfolio management strategy to develop, expand, improve and re-tenant various consolidated properties, the Company has invested approximately $247.3 million in various development and redevelopment projects and expects to bring at least $200 million of investments in service in 2015 on a net basis, after deducting sales proceeds from outlot sales.

2013 and 2012 Strategic Transaction Activity

 

Acquisitions and Investments

 

In 2013, in addition to the assets acquired from Blackstone discussed above, the Company acquired nine shopping centers, five of which were acquired from its unconsolidated joint venture partners, and parcels adjacent to existing shopping centers.  These assets aggregated 2.0 million square feet of Company-owned GLA and were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $462.1 million.  The Company assumed $139.4 million of mortgage debt at a fair value of $148.5 million in connection with these acquisitions.  The Company recorded a Gain on Change in Control of Interests of $1.1 million related to the five assets acquired from unconsolidated joint venture partners.

 

In 2013, the Company originated two mezzanine loans aggregating $28.5 million that were collateralized by a development project and a Prime Asset, both in Chicago, Illinois, and earned interest ranging between 9.0% and 9.5% per annum.  In 2014, the Company applied one of these loans toward the purchase price of the development project acquired in Chicago, Illinois.

 

In 2012, the Company acquired nine shopping centers, five of which were acquired from its unconsolidated joint venture partners.  These assets aggregate 3.8 million square feet of Company-owned GLA and were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $663.4 million.  The Company assumed $24.4 million of mortgage debt at a fair market value of $25.4 million in connection with these acquisitions.  The Company recorded a Gain on Change in Control of Interests of $80.0 million related to the five assets acquired from unconsolidated joint venture partners.

 

Dispositions

 

In 2013, the Company sold 39 shopping center properties, aggregating 2.9 million square feet, and other consolidated non-income producing assets at an aggregate sales price of $239.6 million.  The Company recorded a net gain of $11.7 million, which excludes the impact of an aggregate $86.8 million in related impairment charges that were recorded in prior periods related to the

65


 

assets sold in 2013. The Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures sold 26 shopping center properties, excluding those properties acquired by the Company as described above, aggregating 2.4 million square feet for an aggregate sales price of $163.4 million, of which the Company’s proportionate share of the gain was approximately $4.0 million.

 

In 2012, the Company sold 24 shopping center properties and five office properties, aggregating 3.1 million square feet, and other consolidated non-income producing assets at an aggregate sales price of $193.2 million.  The Company recorded a net gain of $9.7 million, which excludes the impact of an aggregate $143.7 million in related impairment charges that were recorded in prior periods related to the assets sold in 2012.  The Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures sold eight shopping center properties, excluding those properties acquired by the Company as described above, aggregating 1.9 million square feet, for an aggregate sales price of $231.3 million, of which the Company’s proportionate share of the gain was approximately $11.1 million.

 

Development and Redevelopments

 

In 2013, the Company opened Belgate Shopping Center, the Company's first ground-up domestic development completed since 2009.  Belgate is a 900,000-square-foot Prime Asset in Charlotte, North Carolina, anchored by IKEA, Walmart and a complementary lineup of premier junior anchors.

 

As part of its portfolio management strategy to develop, expand, improve and re-tenant various consolidated properties, the Company invested an aggregate of $201.8 million and $82.4 million in various development and redevelopment projects on a net basis, after deducting sales proceeds from outlot sales, during 2013 and 2012, respectively.

 

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

 

The Company has a number of off-balance sheet joint ventures and other unconsolidated entities with varying economic structures.  Through these interests, the Company has investments in operating properties, one development project and one management company.  Such arrangements are generally with institutional investors located throughout the United States.  The Company also had a preferred equity investment aggregating $305.3 million at December 31, 2014, with an annual interest rate of 8.5% due from its joint venture with Blackstone.

 

The Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures had aggregate outstanding indebtedness to third parties of $3.6 billion and $3.3 billion at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively (see Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk).  Such mortgages are generally non-recourse to the Company and its partners; however, certain mortgages may have recourse to the Company and its partners in certain limited situations, such as misuse of funds and material misrepresentations.  In connection with one of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company agreed to fund any amounts due to the joint venture’s lender, under certain circumstances, if such amounts are not paid by the joint venture based on the Company’s pro rata share of such amount, which aggregated $4.9 million at December 31, 2014.

 

Coventry II Fund

 

At December 31, 2014, the Company maintained several investments with the Coventry II Fund.  The Company co-invested approximately 20% in each joint venture.  The Company’s management and leasing agreements with the joint ventures expired according to their terms on December 31, 2011, and the Company decided not to renew these agreements.  The Company and the Coventry II Fund have been parties to certain litigation (see Note 9, “Commitments and Contingencies,” in the notes to the consolidated financial statements included herein).  On October 10, 2014, the Company and Coventry entered into a settlement agreement.  The agreement, which is subject to various contingencies, provides for mutual releases of all claims and the dismissal of the pending litigation.

 

As of December 31, 2014, the aggregate carrying amount of the Company’s net investment in the Coventry II Fund joint ventures was $0.9 million.  In 2014, the asset owned by Coventry II DDR Westover LLC was sold for an aggregate gain of $18.4 million, of which the Company’s share was $4.4 million.  In addition, an asset in Chicago, Illinois, was foreclosed upon by the lender, and three assets owned by the Service Holdings LLC were sold, all of which had been previously written down its investment to zero in these four assets.  The Company does not anticipate expending a significant amount of funds pursuant to the terms of the settlement or to address ongoing operational needs.

In January 2015, the Company issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.625% senior unsecured notes due February 2025.  Net proceeds from the issuance were used to repay $350.0 million of debt under the Company’s Unsecured Term Loan, $100.0 million of debt under the Company’s Secured Term Loan and amounts outstanding on the Revolving Credit Facilities.

 

CAPITALIZATION

 

At December 31, 2014, the Company’s capitalization consisted of $5.2 billion of debt, $350.0 million of preferred shares and $6.6 billion of market equity (market equity is defined as common shares and OP Units outstanding multiplied by $18.36, the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange at December 31, 2014), resulting in a debt to total market capitalization ratio of 0.43 to 1.0, as compared to the ratios of 0.47 to 1.0 and 0.45 to 1.0 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The closing prices of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange were $15.37 and $15.66 at December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The Company’s total debt consisted of the following (in billions):

It is management’s strategy to have access to the capital resources necessary to manage the Company’s balance sheet, to repay upcoming maturities and to consider making prudent opportunistic investments.  Accordingly, the Company may seek to obtain funds through additional debt or equity financings and/or joint venture capital in a manner consistent with its intention to operate with a conservative debt capitalization policy and to reduce the Company’s cost of capital by maintaining an investment grade rating with Moody’s, S&P and Fitch Ratings, Inc.  The security rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities, as it may be subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization.  Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.  The Company may not be able to obtain financing on favorable terms, or at all, which may negatively affect future ratings.

 

The Company’s credit facilities and the indentures under which the Company’s senior and subordinated unsecured indebtedness is, or may be, issued contain certain financial and operating covenants, including, among other things, debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios, as well as limitations on the Company’s ability to incur secured and unsecured indebtedness, sell all or substantially all of the Company’s assets and engage in mergers and certain acquisitions.  Although the Company intends to operate in compliance with these covenants, if the Company were to violate these covenants, the Company may be subject to higher finance costs and fees or accelerated maturities.  In addition, certain of the Company’s credit facilities and indentures may permit the acceleration of maturity in the event certain other debt of the Company has been accelerated.  Foreclosure on mortgaged properties or an inability to refinance existing indebtedness would have a negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and results of operations.

 

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS AND OTHER COMMITMENTS

 

The Company has debt obligations relating to its revolving credit facilities, term loan, fixed-rate senior notes and mortgages payable with maturities ranging from one to 23 years.  In addition, the Company has non-cancelable operating leases, principally for office space and ground leases.

 

These obligations are summarized as follows for the subsequent five years ending December 31 (in millions):

(A)

Represents interest payments expected to be incurred on the Company’s consolidated debt obligations as of December 31, 2014, including capitalized interest.  For variable-rate debt, the rate in effect at December 31, 2014 (or the pricing and term of the amended Revolving Credit Facilities and Secured Term Loan), is

68


 

assumed to remain in effect until the respective initial maturity date of each instrument.  Does not reflect the impact of the issuance of unsecured notes and subsequent repayment of term loans (see Financing Activities).

 

In conjunction with the development and redevelopment of shopping centers, the Company had entered into commitments with general contractors aggregating approximately $52.2 million for its consolidated properties at December 31, 2014.  These obligations, composed principally of construction contracts, are generally due in 12 to 36 months, as the related construction costs are incurred, and are expected to be financed through operating cash flow, new or existing construction loans, asset sales or revolving credit facilities.

 

At December 31, 2014, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $31.3 million.  The Company has not recorded any obligations associated with these letters of credit, the majority of which are collateral for existing indebtedness and other obligations of the Company.

 

The Company has guaranteed certain special assessment and revenue bonds issued by the Midtown Miami Community Development District.  The bond proceeds were used to finance certain infrastructure and parking facility improvements.  In the event of a debt service shortfall, the Company is responsible for satisfying its share of the shortfall.  There are no assets held as collateral or liabilities recorded related to these guaranties.  To date, tax revenues have exceeded the debt service payments for these bonds.

 

The Company routinely enters into contracts for the maintenance of its properties.  These contracts typically can be canceled upon 30 to 60 days’ notice without penalty.  At December 31, 2014, the Company had purchase order obligations, typically payable within one year, aggregating approximately $3.9 million related to the maintenance of its properties and general and administrative expenses.

 

The Company has entered into employment contracts with certain executive officers.  These contracts generally provide for base salary, bonuses based on factors including the financial performance of the Company and personal performance, participation in the Company’s equity plans, health and welfare benefits, participation in Company retirement plans and reimbursement of various qualified business expenses.  These employment agreements may also provide for certain perquisites (e.g., disability insurance coverage, reimbursement of country or social club expenses related to the conduct of the Company’s business, etc.).  The employment agreements for the Company’s Chief Executive Officer, President and Chief Financial Officer and certain other senior executive officers extend through December 31, 2015, and are subject to cancellation by either the Company or the executive without cause upon at least 90 days’ notice.

 

INFLATION

 

Most of the Company’s long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation.  Such provisions include clauses enabling the Company to receive additional rental income from escalation clauses that generally increase rental rates during the terms of the leases and/or percentage rentals based on tenants’ gross sales.  Such escalations are determined by negotiation, increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices.  In addition, many of the Company’s leases are for terms of less than 10 years, permitting the Company to seek increased rents at market rates upon renewal.  Most of the Company’s leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing the Company’s exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation.

 

ECONOMIC CONDITIONS

 

The Company continues to believe there is a favorable landlord dynamic in the supply-and-demand curve for quality locations within well-positioned shopping centers.  Many retailers have aggressive store opening plans for 2015 and 2016.  Further, the Company continues to see strong demand from a broad range of retailers for its space, particularly in the off-price sector, which is a reflection of the general outlook of consumers who are demanding more value for their dollars.  This is evidenced by the continued high volume of leasing activity, which was 11 million square feet of space for new leases and renewals for the year ended December 31, 2014.  The Company also benefits from its real estate asset class (shopping centers), which typically has a higher return on capital expenditures, as well as a diversified tenant base, with only three tenants exceeding 3% of annualized consolidated revenues and the Company’s proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture revenues (TJX Companies at 3.5%; Walmart at 3.3% and Bed Bath & Beyond at 3.0%).  Other significant tenants include Target, Kohl’s, PetSmart, Dick’s Sporting Goods, Ross Stores, Lowe’s and Publix, all of which have relatively strong credit ratings, remain well-capitalized and have outperformed other retail categories on a relative basis over time.  In addition, several of the Company’s big box tenants (Dick’s Sporting Goods, Walmart, TJX Companies and Target) have been rapidly growing their omnichannel platform, creating positive sales growth.  The Company believes these tenants will continue providing it with a stable revenue base for the foreseeable future, given the long-term nature of these leases.  Moreover, the majority of the tenants in the Company’s shopping centers provide day-to-day consumer necessities with a focus toward value and

69


 

convenience, versus high-priced discretionary luxury items, which the Company believes will enable many of its tenants to continue operating even in a challenging economic environment.

 

The retail shopping sector continues to be affected by the competitive nature of the retail business and the competition for market share, as well as general economic conditions, where stronger retailers have out-positioned some of the weaker retailers.  These shifts can force some market share away from weaker retailers, which could require them to downsize and close stores and/or declare bankruptcy.  In many cases, the loss of a weaker tenant or downsizing of space creates a value-add opportunity to re-lease space at higher rents to a stronger retailer.  Overall, the Company believes its portfolio remained stable at December 31, 2014, as evidenced by the increase in the occupancy rate as further described below.  However, there can be no assurance that the loss of a tenant or down-sizing of space will not adversely affect the Company (see Item 1A. Risk Factors).

 

Historically, the Company’s portfolio has performed consistently throughout many economic cycles, including downward cycles.  Broadly speaking, national retail sales have grown since World War II, including during several recessions and housing slowdowns. In the past, the Company has not experienced significant volatility in its long-term portfolio occupancy rate.  The Company has experienced downward cycles before and has made the necessary adjustments to leasing and development strategies to accommodate the changes in the operating environment and mitigate risk.  More importantly, the quality of the property revenue stream is high and consistent, as it is generally derived from retailers with good credit profiles under long-term leases, with very little reliance on overage rents generated by tenant sales performance.  

 

The Company believes that the quality of its shopping center portfolio is strong, as evidenced by the high historical occupancy rates, which have generally ranged from 92% to 96% since the Company’s initial public offering in 1993.  The shopping center portfolio occupancy, excluding the results of SSB, was 93.5% at December 31, 2014, as compared to 92.6% at December 31, 2013.  The Company continues to sign new leases at rental rates that have reflected consistent annual growth.  

 

The total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot, excluding the results of SSB, was $13.91 at December 31, 2014, as compared to $13.35 at December 31, 2013.  The increase primarily was due to the Company’s strategic portfolio realignment achieved through the recycling of capital from the sale of lower quality assets into the acquisition of Prime Assets with higher growth potential, as well as continued lease up and renewal of the existing portfolio at positive rental spreads.  Moreover, the Company has been able to achieve these results without significant capital investment in tenant improvements or leasing commissions.  The weighted-average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions estimated to be incurred over the expected lease term for new leases executed during 2014 for the U.S. portfolio was only $4.47 per rentable square foot.  The Company generally does not expend a significant amount of capital on lease renewals.  The Company is very conscious of and sensitive to the risks posed by the economy, but believes that the position of its portfolio and the general diversity and credit quality of its tenant base should enable it to successfully navigate through challenging economic times.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

 

New Accounting Standards are more fully described in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein.

 

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

 

Management’s discussion and analysis should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.  Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the consolidated financial statements, including trends that might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations.  The Company considers portions of this information to be “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, both as amended, with respect to the Company’s expectations for future periods.  Forward-looking statements include, without limitation, statements related to acquisitions (including any related pro forma financial information) and other business development activities, future capital expenditures, financing sources and availability and the effects of environmental and other regulations.  Although the Company believes that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, it can give no assurance that its expectations will be achieved.  For this purpose, any statements contained herein that are not statements of historical fact should be deemed to be forward-looking statements.  Without limiting the foregoing, the words “will,” “believes,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “expects,” “seeks,” “estimates” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements.  Readers should exercise caution in interpreting and relying on forward-looking statements because such statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that are, in some cases, beyond the Company’s control and that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements and that could materially affect the Company’s actual results, performance or achievements.  For additional factors that could cause the results of the Company to differ materially from those indicated in the forward-looking statements, please refer to Item 1A. Risk Factors, included elsewhere in this report.

70


 

 

Factors that could cause actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to, the following:

 

·

The Company is subject to general risks affecting the real estate industry, including the need to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable terms to generate rental revenues, and any economic downturn may adversely affect the ability of the Company’s tenants, or new tenants, to enter into new leases or the ability of the Company’s existing tenants to renew their leases at rates at least as favorable as their current rates;

 

·

The Company could be adversely affected by changes in the local markets where its properties are located, as well as by adverse changes in national economic and market conditions;

 

·

The Company may fail to anticipate the effects on its properties of changes in consumer buying practices, including sales over the Internet and the resulting retailing practices and space needs of its tenants, or a general downturn in its tenants’ businesses, which may cause tenants to close stores or default in payment of rent;

 

·

The Company is subject to competition for tenants from other owners of retail properties, and its tenants are subject to competition from other retailers and methods of distribution.  The Company is dependent upon the successful operations and financial condition of its tenants, in particular its major tenants, and could be adversely affected by the bankruptcy of those tenants;

 

·

The Company relies on major tenants, which makes it vulnerable to changes in the business and financial condition of, or demand for its space by, such tenants;

 

·

The Company may not realize the intended benefits of acquisition or merger transactions. The acquired assets may not perform as well as the Company anticipated, or the Company may not successfully integrate the assets and realize improvements in occupancy and operating results.  The acquisition of certain assets may subject the Company to liabilities, including environmental liabilities;

 

·

The Company may fail to identify, acquire, construct or develop additional properties that produce a desired yield on invested capital, or may fail to effectively integrate acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties.  In addition, the Company may be limited in its acquisition opportunities due to competition, the inability to obtain financing on reasonable terms or any financing at all, and other factors;

 

·

The Company may fail to dispose of properties on favorable terms.  In addition, real estate investments can be illiquid, particularly as prospective buyers may experience increased costs of financing or difficulties obtaining financing, and could limit the Company’s ability to promptly make changes to its portfolio to respond to economic and other conditions;

 

·

The Company may abandon a development opportunity after expending resources if it determines that the development opportunity is not feasible due to a variety of factors, including a lack of availability of construction financing on reasonable terms, the impact of the economic environment on prospective tenants’ ability to enter into new leases or pay contractual rent, or the inability of the Company to obtain all necessary zoning and other required governmental permits and authorizations;

 

·

The Company may not complete development projects on schedule as a result of various factors, many of which are beyond the Company’s control, such as weather, labor conditions, governmental approvals, material shortages or general economic downturn, resulting in limited availability of capital, increased debt service expense and construction costs and decreases in revenue;

 

·

The Company’s financial condition may be affected by required debt service payments, the risk of default and restrictions on its ability to incur additional debt or to enter into certain transactions under its credit facilities and other documents governing its debt obligations.  In addition, the Company may encounter difficulties in obtaining permanent financing or refinancing existing debt.  Borrowings under the Company’s Revolving Credit Facilities are subject to certain representations and warranties and customary events of default, including any event that has had or could reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business or financial condition;

 

71


 

·

Changes in interest rates could adversely affect the market price of the Company’s common shares, as well as its performance and cash flow;

 

·

Debt and/or equity financing necessary for the Company to continue to grow and operate its business may not be available or may not be available on favorable terms;

 

·

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect the Company’s ability to obtain financing on reasonable terms and have other adverse effects on the Company and the market price of the Company’s common shares;

 

·

The Company is subject to complex regulations related to its status as a REIT and would be adversely affected if it failed to qualify as a REIT;

 

·

The Company must make distributions to shareholders to continue to qualify as a REIT, and if the Company must borrow funds to make distributions, those borrowings may not be available on favorable terms or at all;

 

·

Joint venture investments may involve risks not otherwise present for investments made solely by the Company, including the possibility that a partner or co-venturer may become bankrupt, may at any time have interests or goals different from those of the Company and may take action contrary to the Company’s instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including the Company’s policy with respect to maintaining its qualification as a REIT.  In addition, a partner or co-venturer may not have access to sufficient capital to satisfy its funding obligations to the joint venture.  The partner could cause a default under the joint venture loan for reasons outside the Company’s control.  Furthermore, the Company could be required to reduce the carrying value of its equity method investments if a loss in the carrying value of the investment is other than temporary;

 

·

The Company’s decision to dispose of real estate assets, including land held for development and construction in progress, would change the holding period assumption in the undiscounted cash flow impairment analyses, which could result in material impairment losses and adversely affect the Company’s financial results;

 

·

The outcome of pending or future litigation, including litigation with tenants or joint venture partners, may adversely affect the Company’s results of operations and financial condition;

 

·

The Company may not realize anticipated returns from its real estate assets outside the contiguous United States, which may carry risks in addition to those the Company faces with its domestic properties and operations.  To the extent the Company pursues opportunities that may subject the Company to different or greater risks than those associated with its domestic operations, including cultural and consumer differences and differences in applicable laws and political and economic environments, these risks could significantly increase and adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition.  The Company owns significant assets in Puerto Rico;

 

·

The Company is subject to potential environmental liabilities;

 

·

The Company may incur losses that are uninsured or exceed policy coverage due to its liability for certain injuries to persons, property or the environment occurring on its properties and

 

·

The Company could incur additional expenses to comply with or respond to claims under the Americans with Disabilities Act or otherwise be adversely affected by changes in government regulations, including changes in environmental, zoning, tax and other regulations.

(A)

Adjusted to reflect the $42.0 million of variable-rate debt ($2.1 million at the Company’s proportionate share) that LIBOR was swapped to at a fixed rate of 1.9% at December 31, 2014.

 

The Company intends to use retained cash flow, proceeds from asset sales, equity and debt financing and variable-rate indebtedness available under its Revolving Credit Facilities to repay indebtedness and fund capital expenditures of the Company’s shopping centers.  Thus, to the extent the Company incurs additional variable-rate indebtedness, its exposure to increases in interest rates in an inflationary period could increase.  The Company does not believe, however, that increases in interest expense as a result of inflation will significantly impact the Company’s distributable cash flow.

 

The interest rate risk on a portion of the Company’s and its unconsolidated joint ventures’ variable-rate debt described above has been mitigated through the use of interest rate swap agreements (the “Swaps”) with major financial institutions.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the interest rate on the Company’s $530.0 million and $631.4 million, respectively, consolidated floating rate debt was swapped to fixed rates.  At December 31, 2014, the interest rate on $42.0 million of unconsolidated joint venture floating rate debt (of which $2.1 million is the Company’s proportionate share) was swapped to fixed rates.  The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of nonperformance by the counterparties to the Swaps.  The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into Swaps with major financial institutions.

 

73


 

The carrying value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt is adjusted to include the $530.0 million and $631.4 million of variable-rate debt that was swapped to a fixed rate at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The fair value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt is adjusted to (i) include the Swaps reflected in the carrying value and (ii) include the Company’s proportionate share of the joint venture fixed-rate debt.  An estimate of the effect of a 100 basis-point increase at December 31, 2014 and 2013, is summarized as follows (in millions):

(B)

Includes the fair value of Swaps, which was an asset of $8.8 million, net, and $15.5 million, net, at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

The sensitivity to changes in interest rates of the Company’s fixed-rate debt was determined using a valuation model based upon factors that measure the net present value of such obligations that arise from the hypothetical estimate as discussed above.

 

Further, a 100 basis-point increase in short-term market interest rates on variable-rate debt at December 31, 2014, would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $4.3 million for the Company and $1.2 million representing the Company’s proportionate share of the joint ventures’ interest expense relating to variable-rate debt outstanding for the 12-month period ended December 31, 2014.  The estimated increase in interest expense for the year does not give effect to possible changes in the daily balance of the Company’s or joint ventures’ outstanding variable-rate debt.

 

The Company and its joint ventures intend to continually monitor and actively manage interest costs on their variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into swap positions based on market fluctuations.  In addition, the Company believes it has the ability to obtain funds through additional equity and/or debt offerings and joint venture capital.  Accordingly, the cost of obtaining such protection agreements in relation to the Company’s access to capital markets will continue to be evaluated.  The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.  As of December 31, 2014, the Company had no other material exposure to market risk.

Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

 

The Company’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting as defined in Securities Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f).  Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.  Management assessed the effectiveness of its internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO) in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013).  Based on those criteria, management concluded that the Company’s internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2014.

 

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm as stated in their report which appears herein and is incorporated in this Item 9A. by reference thereto.

 

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

 

During the three-month period ended December 31, 2014, there were no changes in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting that materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

 

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of DDR Corp.

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of DDR Corp. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2014 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedules listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) present fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements.    Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2014, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).  The Company's management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedules, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in “Management's Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting” appearing under Item 9A.  Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedules, and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits.  We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States).  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.  Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.  Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk.  Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

 

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.  A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

 

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements.  Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Nature of Business

DDR Corp. and its related consolidated real estate subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “DDR”) and unconsolidated joint ventures are primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, owning, developing, redeveloping, expanding, leasing and managing shopping centers.  In addition, the Company engages in the origination and acquisition of loans and debt securities, which are generally collateralized directly or indirectly by shopping centers.  Unless otherwise provided, references herein to the Company or DDR include DDR Corp., its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries and its consolidated joint ventures.  The Company’s tenant base primarily includes national and regional retail chains and local retailers.  Consequently, the Company’s credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry.  

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.  

Principles of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity.  

All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.  Investments in real estate joint ventures and companies in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting.  Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or loss) of these joint ventures and companies is included in consolidated net income.

Real Estate

Real estate assets, which include construction in progress and land held for development, are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation.  

Depreciation and amortization is recorded on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the assets as follows:

 

Buildings

Useful lives, 20 to 31.5 years

Building improvements and fixtures

Useful lives, ranging from 5 to 20 years

Tenant improvements

Shorter of economic life or lease terms

The Company periodically assesses the useful lives of its depreciable real estate assets and accounts for any revisions, which are not material for the periods presented, prospectively.  Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Significant expenditures that improve or extend the life of the asset are capitalized.  

Land Held for Development and Construction in Progress includes land held for future development as well as construction in progress related to shopping center developments and expansions.  The Company capitalized certain direct costs (salaries and related personnel) and incremental internal construction costs and software development and implementation costs of $11.1 million, $10.9 million and $10.5 million in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  

Purchase Price Accounting

Upon acquisition of properties, the Company estimates the fair value of acquired tangible assets, consisting of land, building and improvements and intangibles, generally (i) above- and below-market leases, (ii) in-place leases and (iii) tenant relationships.  The Company allocates the purchase price to assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a gross basis based on their relative fair values at the date of acquisition.  In estimating the fair value of the tangible and intangibles acquired, the Company considers information obtained about each property as a result of its due diligence and marketing and leasing activities and uses various valuation methods, such as estimated cash flow projections using appropriate discount and capitalization rates, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, estimates of replacement costs net of depreciation and other available market information.  The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant.  Above- and below-market lease values are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate that reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) management's estimate of fair market lease rates for each corresponding in-place lease, measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the estimated term of any below-market, fixed-rate renewal options for below-market leases.  The capitalized above-market lease values are amortized as a reduction of base rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the capitalized below-market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the estimated terms of any below-market, fixed-rate renewal options of the respective leases.  The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationship values based on management's evaluation of the specific characteristics of the acquired lease portfolio and the Company's overall relationship with the anchor tenants.  Such amounts are amortized to expense over the remaining initial lease term (and expected renewal periods for tenant relationships).  

Intangibles associated with property acquisitions are included in other assets and other liabilities, as appropriate, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  In the event a tenant terminates its lease prior to the contractual expiration, the unamortized portion of the related intangible asset or liability is written off.  The Company’s intangibles are as follows (in millions):

Real Estate Impairment Assessment

The Company reviews its individual real estate assets, including land held for development and construction in progress, for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  Impairment indicators include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in projected net operating income and occupancy percentages, projected losses on potential future sales, market factors, significant changes in projected development costs or completion dates and sustainability of development projects.  An asset is considered impaired when the undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset’s carrying value.  The determination of anticipated undiscounted cash flows is inherently subjective, requiring significant estimates made by management, and considers the most likely expected course of action at the balance sheet date based on current plans, intended holding periods and available market information.  If the Company is evaluating the potential sale of an asset or land held for development, the undiscounted future cash flows analysis is probability-weighted based upon management’s best estimate of the likelihood of the alternative courses of action as of the balance sheet date.  If an impairment is indicated, an impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.  The Company recorded aggregate impairment charges, including those classified within discontinued operations, of $38.1 million, $72.6 million and $126.5 million (Note 12) related to consolidated real estate investments during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  

Real Estate Held for Sale

The Company generally considers assets to be held for sale when management believes that a sale is probable within a year.  This generally occurs when a sales contract is executed with no substantive contingencies and the prospective buyer has significant funds at risk.  Assets that are classified as held for sale are recorded at the lower of their carrying amount or fair value, less cost to sell.  

Disposition of Real Estate and Real Estate Investments

Sales of real estate include the sale of land, operating properties and investments in real estate joint ventures.  Gains from dispositions are recognized using the full accrual or partial sale methods, provided that various criteria relating to the terms of sale and any subsequent involvement by the Company with the asset sold are met.  If the criteria for sale recognition or gain recognition are not met because of a form of continuing involvement, the accounting for such transactions is dependent on the nature of the continuing involvement.  In certain cases, a sale might not be recognized, and in others all or a portion of the gain might be deferred.  

Pursuant to the definition of a component of an entity and, assuming no significant continuing involvement, the operations of the sold asset or asset classified as held for sale are considered discontinued operations.  Interest expense that is specifically identifiable to the property is included in the computation of interest expense attributable to discontinued operations.  Consolidated interest expense at the corporate level is allocated to discontinued operations based on the proportion of net assets disposed.  

Interest and Real Estate Taxes

Interest and real estate taxes incurred relating to the construction, expansion or redevelopment of shopping centers are capitalized and depreciated over the estimated useful life of the building.  This includes interest incurred on funds invested in or advanced to unconsolidated joint ventures with qualifying development activities.  The Company will cease the capitalization of these costs when construction activities are substantially completed and the property is available for occupancy by tenants.  If the Company suspends substantially all activities related to development of a qualifying asset, the Company will cease capitalization of interest and taxes until activities are resumed.  

Interest paid during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012 aggregated $243.2 million, $218.4 million and $209.3 million, respectively, of which $8.7 million, $8.8 million and $13.3 million, respectively, was capitalized.  

Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures

To the extent that the Company’s cost basis in an unconsolidated joint venture is different from the basis reflected at the joint venture level, the basis difference is amortized over the life of the related assets and included in the Company’s share of equity in net income (loss) of the joint venture.  On a periodic basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators that the value of the Company’s investments in unconsolidated joint ventures may be impaired.  An investment is impaired only if the Company’s estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment and such difference is deemed to be other than temporary.  The Company recorded aggregate impairment charges of $30.7 million, $1.0 million and $26.7 million (Note 12) related to its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures during the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  These impairment charges create a basis difference between the Company’s share of accumulated equity as compared to the investment balance of the respective unconsolidated joint venture.  The Company allocates the aggregate impairment charge to each of the respective properties owned by the joint venture on a relative fair value basis and amortizes this basis differential as an adjustment to the equity in net income (loss) recorded by the Company over the estimated remaining useful lives of the underlying assets.  

F-10


 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents.  The Company maintains cash deposits with major financial institutions, which from time to time may exceed federally insured limits.  The Company periodically assesses the financial condition of these institutions and believes that the risk of loss is minimal.  Cash flows associated with items intended as hedges of identifiable transactions or events are classified in the same category as the cash flows from the items being hedged.  

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash represents amounts on deposit with financial institutions primarily for debt service payments, real estate taxes, capital improvements, operating reserves and a bond sinking fund as required pursuant to the respective loan agreement.  For purposes of the consolidated statements of cash flows, changes in restricted cash caused by changes in capital improvements are reflected in cash from investing activities.  

Accounts Receivable

The Company makes estimates of the amounts it believes will not be collected related to base rents, straight-line rents receivable, expense reimbursements and other amounts owed.  The Company analyzes accounts receivable, tenant credit worthiness and current economic trends when evaluating the adequacy of the allowance for doubtful accounts.  In addition, tenants in bankruptcy are analyzed and estimates are made in connection with the expected recovery of pre-petition and post-petition claims.  

Accounts receivable, other than straight-line rents receivable, are expected to be collected within one year and are net of estimated unrecoverable amounts of $7.2 million and $10.0 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, straight-line rents receivable, net of a provision for uncollectible amounts of $3.6 million and $3.9 million, respectively, aggregated $63.8 million and $61.9 million, respectively.  

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable include certain loans that are held for investment and are generally collateralized by real estate-related investments and may be subordinate to other senior loans.  Loan receivables are recorded at stated principal amounts or at initial investment plus accretable yield for loans purchased at a discount.  The related discounts on mortgages and other loans purchased are accreted over the life of the related loan receivable.  The Company defers loan origination and commitment fees, net of origination costs, and amortizes them over the term of the related loan.  The Company evaluates the collectability of both principal and interest on each loan based on an assessment of the underlying collateral value to determine whether it is impaired, and not by the use of internal risk ratings.  A loan loss reserve is recorded when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms.  When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value of the underlying collateral.  As the underlying collateral for a majority of the notes receivable is real-estate related investments, the same valuation techniques are used to value the collateral as those used to determine the fair value of real estate investments for impairment purposes.  Given the small number of loans outstanding, the Company does not provide for an additional allowance for loan losses based on the grouping of loans, as the Company believes the characteristics of its loans are not sufficiently similar to allow an evaluation of these loans as a group for a possible loan loss allowance.  As such, all of the Company’s loans are evaluated individually for this purpose.  Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned.  A loan is placed on non-accrual status when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that the Company will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms.  Interest income on non-performing loans is generally recognized on a cash basis.  Recognition of interest income on an accrual basis on non-performing loans is resumed when it is probable that the Company will be able to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms.  

Deferred Charges

Costs incurred in obtaining indebtedness are included in deferred charges in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the terms of the related debt agreements.  Such amortization is reflected as Interest Expense in the consolidated statements of operations.  

 

Available-for-Sale Securities

The Company’s marketable equity securities are recorded at fair value and are included in Other Assets in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.  Any unrealized gains or losses are recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”), and any realized gains and losses are recorded using the specific identification method in the accompanying consolidated statements of comprehensive income or loss.  The Company’s marketable securities are Level 1 investments as they have a quoted market price in an active market.  See “Fair Value Hierarchy” below for a description of Level 1 investments.  

F-11


 

Treasury Shares

The Company’s share repurchases are reflected as treasury shares utilizing the cost method of accounting and are presented as a reduction to consolidated shareholders’ equity.  Reissuances of the Company’s treasury shares at an amount below cost are recorded as a charge to paid-in capital due to the Company’s cumulative distributions in excess of net income.  

Revenue Recognition

Minimum rents from tenants are recognized using the straight-line method over the lease term of the respective leases.  Percentage and overage rents are recognized after a tenant’s reported sales have exceeded the applicable sales breakpoint set forth in the applicable lease.  Revenues associated with expense reimbursements from tenants are recognized in the period that the related expenses are incurred based upon the tenant lease provision.  Fee and other income includes management fees recorded in the period earned based on a percentage of collected revenue at the properties under management.  Fee income derived from the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture investments is recognized to the extent attributable to the unaffiliated ownership interest.  Ancillary and other property-related income, primarily composed of leasing vacant space to temporary tenants and kiosk income, is recognized in the period earned.  Lease termination fees are recognized upon the effective termination of a tenant’s lease when the Company has no further obligations under the lease.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses include certain internal leasing and legal salaries and related expenses associated with the re-leasing of existing space, which are charged to operations as incurred as they are not eligible for capitalization.  

Stock Option and Other Equity-Based Plans

Compensation cost relating to stock-based payment transactions classified as equity is recognized in the financial statements based upon the grant date fair value.  Forfeitures are estimated at the time of grant in order to estimate the amount of share-based awards that will ultimately vest.  The forfeiture rate is based on historical rates for non-executive employees and actual expectations for executives.  

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, stock-based compensation cost recognized by the Company was $9.1 million, $7.4 million and $6.4 million, respectively.  These amounts include $1.4 million, $0.1 million and $0.2 million as a result of accelerated vesting of awards due to employee separations in 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  This net cost is included in General and Administrative Expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.  

Income Taxes

The Company has made an election to qualify, and believes it is operating so as to qualify, as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) for federal income tax purposes.  Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that it makes distributions to its shareholders equal to at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and continues to satisfy certain other requirements.  

In connection with the REIT Modernization Act, the Company is permitted to participate in certain activities and still maintain its qualification as a REIT, so long as these activities are conducted in entities that elect to be treated as taxable subsidiaries under the Code.  As such, the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities.  

In the normal course of business, the Company or one or more of its subsidiaries is subject to examination by federal, state and local jurisdictions as well as certain jurisdictions outside the United States, in which it operates, where applicable.  The Company expects to recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions, if any, as income tax expense, which is included in General and Administrative Expense.  The Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment for

F-12


 

uncertain tax provisions for the three years ended.  As of December 31, 2014, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under applicable statutes of limitations are generally the year 2011 and forward.

Deferred Tax Assets

The Company accounts for income taxes related to its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) and its taxable activity in Puerto Rico under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequences of events that have been included in the financial statements.  Under this method, deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on the differences between the financial statement and tax basis of assets and liabilities using enacted tax rates in effect for the year in which the differences are expected to reverse.  The effect of a change in tax rates on deferred tax assets and liabilities is recognized in the income statement in the period that includes the enactment date.  

The Company records net deferred tax assets to the extent it believes it is more likely than not that these assets will be realized and would record a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets when it has determined that an uncertainty exists regarding their realization, which would increase the provision for income taxes.  In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including forecasts of future taxable income, the reversal of other existing temporary differences, available net operating loss carryforwards, tax planning strategies and recent results of operations.  Several of these considerations require assumptions and significant judgment about the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the plans and estimates that the Company is utilizing to manage its business.  To the extent facts and circumstances change in the future, adjustments to the valuation allowances may be required.

Foreign Currency Translation

The financial statements of the Company’s international consolidated and unconsolidated joint venture investments are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rate at each balance sheet date for assets and liabilities, an average exchange rate for each period for revenues, expenses, gains and losses, and at the transaction date for impairments or asset sales, with the Company’s proportionate share of the resulting translation adjustments recorded as Accumulated OCI.  Gains or losses resulting from foreign currency transactions, translated to local currency, are included in income as incurred.  In 2014, the Company recorded a release of foreign currency translation from Accumulated OCI to earnings as a result of the sale of its entire investments in Brazil and Russia and substantially all of its investments in Canada.

Derivative and Hedging Activities

The Company records all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value.  The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting.  Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges.  Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges.  Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation.  Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that is attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.  The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain of its risks, even if hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.  

Fair Value Hierarchy

The standard Fair Value Measurements specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs).  The following summarizes the fair value hierarchy:

 

•   Level 1

Quoted prices in active markets that are unadjusted and accessible at the measurement date for identical, unrestricted assets or liabilities;

 

 

•   Level 2

Quoted prices for identical assets and liabilities in markets that are inactive, quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or financial instruments for which significant inputs are observable, either directly or indirectly, such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals and

 

 

•   Level 3

Prices or valuations that require inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.  

F-13


 

In certain cases, the inputs used to measure fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy.  In such cases, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the fair value measurement in its entirety falls has been determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety.  The Company’s 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.  See Note 8 – Financial Instruments for additional information.  

New Accounting Standards

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09 (“ASU 2014-09”), Revenue from Contracts with Customers.  The objective of ASU 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive five-step model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.  The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is that an entity recognizes revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.  ASU 2014-09 applies to all contracts with customers except those that are within the scope of other topics in the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.  Most significantly for the real estate industry, leasing transactions are not within the scope of the new standard.  A majority of the Company’s tenant-related revenue is recognized pursuant to lease agreements.  The new guidance is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016.  Early adoption is not permitted.  Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt ASU 2014-09.  The Company is currently assessing the impact, if any, the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements and has not decided upon the method of adoption.

Discontinued Operations

In April 2014, the FASB issued a final standard that changed the criteria for determining which disposals are presented as discontinued operations. The revised definition of a discontinued operation is “a component or group of components that has been disposed of or is classified as held for sale, together as a group in a single transaction,” and “represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on an entity’s financial results.”  The FASB agreed that a strategic shift includes “a disposal of (i) a separate major line of business, (ii) a separate major geographical area of operations or (iii) a combination of parts of (i) or (ii) that make up a major part of an entity’s operations and financial results.”  A business that, upon acquisition, qualifies as held for sale will also be a discontinued operation.  The FASB also reaffirmed its decision to no longer preclude presentation of a disposal as a discontinued operation if (a) there is significant continuing involvement with a component after its disposal, or (b) there are operations and cash flows of the component that have not been eliminated from the reporting entity’s ongoing operations.  Public entities will be required to apply the standard in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods.  Beginning in 2015, the Company will apply the new guidance, as applicable, to future disposals of its shopping centers or classifications as held for sale.  The Company believes that a significant portion of its ordinary course shopping center disposals will not qualify for discontinued operations presentation under this new standard.

(A)

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company’s proportionate share was $4.4 million, $6.6 million and $0.4 million, respectively.  

(B)

For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, impairment charges included in discontinued operations related to asset sales were $11.1 million, $49.3 million and $56.3 million, respectively, of which the Company’s proportionate share was $0.8 million, $4.0 million and $0.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  The Company’s share of the impairment charges was reduced by the impact of the other than temporary impairment charges recorded on these investments, as appropriate, as discussed below.  

(C)

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the loss primarily was attributable to an investment in the Coventry II Fund in which the Company had a 20% interest.  The joint venture recorded a loss of $32.6 million on the transfer of its ownership of one of its properties to the lender.  The Company’s share of the loss was zero as the Company had previously written off its investment in this operating property.  

(D)

The Company is not recording income or loss from those investments in which its investment basis is zero as the Company does not have the intent or obligation to fund any additional capital in the joint ventures.  

(E)

The difference between the Company’s share of net income, as reported above, and the amounts included in the consolidated statements of operations is attributable to the amortization of basis differentials, the recognition of deferred gains and differences in gain (loss) on sale of certain assets recognized due to the basis differentials and other than temporary impairment charges.  

Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures include the following items, which represent the difference between the Company’s investment and its share of all of the unconsolidated joint ventures’ underlying net assets (in millions):

The Company’s joint venture agreements generally include provisions whereby each partner has the right to trigger a purchase or sale of its interest in the joint venture (Reciprocal Purchase Rights) or to initiate a purchase or sale of the properties (Property Purchase Rights) after a certain number of years or if either party is in default of the joint venture agreements.  The Company is not obligated to purchase the interests of its outside joint venture partners under these provisions.

Blackstone owned 95% of the common equity of the BRE DDR Joint Ventures and consolidated affiliates of DDR owned the remaining 5%.  The Company’s preferred equity entitled it to certain preferential cumulative distributions payable out of operating and capital proceeds pursuant to the terms and conditions of the preferred equity.  This distribution was recognized as interest income within the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and classified as a note receivable in Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets.  The preferred equity is redeemable (1) at Blackstone’s option, in whole or in part, following acquisition of the properties, subject to early redemption premiums; (2) at DDR’s option after seven years; (3) at varying levels based upon specified financial covenants upon a sale of properties over a certain threshold and (4) upon the incurrence of additional indebtedness by the joint venture.  The Company provides leasing and property management services to all of the joint venture properties.  The Company cannot be removed as the property and leasing manager until the preferred equity is redeemed in full (except for certain specified events).  In 2014, the Company acquired Blackstone’s 95% interest in all of the assets owned by BRE DDR Retail Holdings II (the “Blackstone II Acquisition”) and one asset owned by BRE DDR Retail Holdings I (Note 3).  

Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL (“SSB”)

On April 28, 2014, affiliates of DDR sold to Mr. Alexander Otto and certain of his affiliates the Company’s 50% ownership interest in SSB for approximately $343.6 million, which represented the Company’s entire investment in Brazil.  SSB owned an approximate 66% interest in a publicly traded company in Brazil, Sonae Sierra Brasil, S.A., which owned 10 shopping centers in Brazil and an indirect interest in the Parque Dom Pedro shopping center.  The Company’s effective economic ownership in this investment was approximately 33%.  The Company recorded a Gain on Sale of Interests of $83.7 million in 2014, which included the reclassification of $19.7 million of foreign currency translation from Accumulated OCI (Note 11).  See discussions of related party considerations (Note 14).

The weighted-average exchange rate used for recording the equity in net income into U.S. dollars was 2.26 for the Company’s ownership period, January 1, 2014 to April 28, 2014, and 2.14 and 1.94 for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.  

Coventry II Fund

The Company and Coventry Real Estate Advisors L.L.C. (“CREA”) formed Coventry Real Estate Fund II L.L.C. and Coventry Fund II Parallel Fund, L.L.C. (collectively, the “Coventry II Fund”) to invest in a variety of retail properties that presented opportunities for value creation.  The Coventry II Fund was formed with several institutional investors and CREA as the investment manager.  In 2014, the asset owned by Coventry II Westover LLC was sold for an aggregate gain of $18.4 million, of which the Company’s share was $4.4 million.  In addition in 2014, an asset in Chicago, Illinois, was foreclosed upon by the lender and three assets owned by the Service Holdings LLC joint venture were sold.  The Company had previously written down its investment to zero in these four assets.  At December 31, 2014, the aggregate carrying amount of the Company’s net investment in the Coventry II Fund joint ventures was $0.9 million.  See discussion of legal matters surrounding the Coventry II Fund (Note 9).

Revolving Credit Facilities

The Company maintains an unsecured revolving credit facility with a syndicate of financial institutions, arranged by J.P. Morgan Securities, LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”).  The Unsecured Credit Facility provides for borrowings of up to $750 million, if certain financial covenants are maintained, an accordion feature for expansion of availability up to $1.25 billion upon the Company’s request, provided that new or existing lenders agree to the existing terms of the facility and increase their commitment level and the ability to extend the maturity for one year to April 2018, at the Company’s option.  The Unsecured Credit Facility includes a competitive bid option on periodic interest rates for up to 50% of the facility.  The Unsecured Credit Facility also provides for an annual facility fee, which was 20 basis points on the entire facility at December 31, 2014.  The Unsecured Credit Facility also allows for foreign currency-denominated borrowings.  At December 31, 2014, the Company had US$22.5 million of Canadian dollar borrowings outstanding and $6.5 million US$ borrowings outstanding.  

The Company also maintains a $65 million unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association (the “PNC Facility” and, together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”).  The PNC Facility reflects terms consistent with those contained in the Unsecured Credit Facility.  

The Company’s borrowings under the Revolving Credit Facilities bear interest at variable rates at the Company’s election, based on either (i) the prime rate plus a specified spread (0.15% at December 31, 2014), as defined in the respective facility, or (ii) LIBOR, plus a specified spread (1.15% at December 31, 2014).  The specified spreads vary depending on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt rating from Moody’s Investors Service and Standard and Poor’s.  The Company is required to comply with certain covenants under the Revolving Credit Facilities relating to total outstanding indebtedness, secured indebtedness, maintenance of unencumbered real estate assets and fixed charge coverage.  The covenants also require that the Company cannot exceed a total dividend payout ratio of 95% of the Company's pro rata share of Funds From Operations (as defined in the agreements governing the Revolving Credit Facilities) for the prior 12-month period unless required to maintain REIT status.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2014 and 2013.  

Unsecured Term Loan

The Company maintains a $350 million unsecured term loan (the “Unsecured Term Loan”) with a syndicate of financial institutions, for which Wells Fargo Bank National Association and PNC Bank serve as the administrative agents.  As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Unsecured Term Loan consisted of a $50 million tranche (“Tranche 1”) and a $300 million tranche (“Tranche 2”).  The Unsecured Term Loan bears interest at variable rates based on LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreement, plus a specified spread based on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt rating (1.5% and 1.9% for Tranche 1 and Tranche 2, respectively, at December 31, 2014 and 2013).  The Company is required to comply with covenants similar to those contained in the Revolving Credit Facilities.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2014 and 2013.  

Secured Term Loan

The Company maintains a collateralized term loan (the “Secured Term Loan” and, together with the Unsecured Term Loan, the “Term Loans”) with a syndicate of financial institutions, for which KeyBank National Association serves as the administrative agent.  The Secured Term Loan includes an option to extend the maturity for one year to April 2018, at the Company’s option.  Borrowings under the Secured Term Loan bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreement, plus a specified spread (1.35% at December 31, 2014) based on the Company’s long-term senior unsecured debt rating.  The collateral for the Secured Term Loan is real estate assets, or investment interests in certain assets, that are already encumbered by first mortgage loans.  The Company is required to comply with covenants similar to those contained in the Revolving Credit Facilities.  The Company was in compliance with these covenants at December 31, 2014 and 2013.  

Mortgages Payable

At December 31, 2014, mortgages payable, collateralized by investments and real estate with a net book value of $2.9 billion, and related tenant leases are generally due in monthly installments of principal and/or interest.  Fixed interest rates on mortgages payable range from approximately 3.4% to 9.8%.

The Company may redeem the senior convertible notes any time on or after November 20, 2015, in whole or in part, for cash equal to 100% of the principal amount of the notes plus accrued and unpaid interest through, but excluding, the redemption date.  The holders of the senior convertible notes may require the Company to repurchase its notes in whole or in part on specified dates, the first of which is November 15, 2015, upon the fulfillment of certain conditions.  

Senior Notes

The Company’s various fixed-rate senior notes have interest coupon rates that averaged 5.3% at both December 31, 2014 and 2013.  Senior notes with an aggregate principal amount of $82.2 million may not be redeemed by the Company prior to maturity and will not be subject to any sinking fund requirements.  The remaining senior notes may be redeemed based upon a yield maintenance calculation.  

The fixed-rate senior notes and senior convertible notes were issued pursuant to indentures that contain certain covenants, including limitation on incurrence of debt, maintenance of unencumbered real estate assets and debt service coverage.  The covenants also require that the cumulative dividends declared or paid from December 31, 1993, through the end of the current period cannot exceed Funds From Operations (as defined in the agreement) plus an additional $20.0 million for the same period unless required to maintain REIT status.  Interest is paid semiannually in arrears.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company was in compliance with all of the financial and other covenants.  

Total fees paid by the Company for the issuance of senior notes were $1.3 million in both years 2013 and 2012.  During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company purchased $60.0 million aggregate principal amount of its outstanding senior unsecured notes and recorded a net loss on retirement of $13.5 million.  

Senior Convertible Notes

The senior convertible notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other senior unsecured indebtedness of the Company.  The senior convertible notes may be converted prior to maturity into cash equal to the lesser of the principal amount of the note or the conversion value and, to the extent the conversion value exceeds the principal amount of the note, the Company’s

F-23


 

common shares, at the Company’s option.  The senior convertible notes are subject to net settlement based on conversion prices (“Conversion Price”) that are subject to adjustment based on increases in the Company’s quarterly common share dividend.  The senior convertible notes had a conversion price of $14.85 and $15.33 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The senior convertible notes may be converted prior to maturity based only on certain provisions in the governing note documents including, but not limited to, when the Company’s closing sale price of its common shares for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) in the period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the preceding fiscal quarter is greater than 125% of the conversion price per common share in effect on the applicable trading day.  In connection with the issuance of these notes, the Company entered into a registration rights agreement for the common shares that may be issuable upon conversion of the senior convertible notes.

Financial Instruments

The following methods and assumptions were used by the Company in estimating fair value disclosures of financial instruments:

Measurement of Fair Value

At December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company used pay-fixed interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in benchmark interest rates (the “Swaps”).  The estimated fair values were determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts.  The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.  In addition, credit valuation adjustments, which consider the impact of any credit enhancements to the contracts, are incorporated in the fair values to account for potential non-performance risk, including the Company’s own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty's non-performance risk.  The Company determined that the significant inputs used to value its derivatives fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.  

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company maintains interest rate swap agreements (included in Other Assets and Other Liabilities) and marketable equity securities (included in Other Assets), which include investments in the Company’s Elective Deferred Compensation Plan (Note 15) as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and investments in securities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2013.  The following table presents information about the Company’s financial assets and liabilities and indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine such fair value (in millions):

The unrealized loss of $1.1 million and the unrealized gain of $13.9 million included in OCI is attributable to the net change in fair value related to derivative financial instruments that remained outstanding at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, none of which were reported in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations because the Swaps are documented and qualify as hedging instruments.  

F-24


 

Other Fair Value Instruments

Investments in unconsolidated joint ventures are considered financial assets.  See discussion of fair value considerations of joint venture investments in Note 12.  

Cash and Cash Equivalents, Restricted Cash, Accounts Receivable, Marketable Equity Securities, Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities.  The Company’s marketable equity securities have been classified as available-for-sale and were recorded at fair value.  

Notes Receivable and Advances to Affiliates

The fair value is estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis in which the Company uses unobservable inputs such as market interest rates determined by the loan to value and market capitalization rates related to the underlying collateral at which management believes similar loans would be made and classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy.  The fair value of these notes was approximately $362.2 million and $148.2 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, as compared to the carrying amounts of $358.2 million and $145.5 million, respectively.  The carrying value of the TIF bonds, which was $3.8 million and $5.1 million at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, approximated their fair value as of both dates.  The fair value of loans to affiliates has been estimated by management based upon its assessment of the interest rate, credit risk and performance risk.  

Debt

The fair market value of senior notes, except senior convertible notes, is determined using the trading price of the Company’s public debt.  The fair market value for all other debt is estimated using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates future contractual interest and principal payments and a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality and risk profile, including the Company’s non-performance risk and loan to value.  The Company’s senior notes, except senior convertible notes, and all other debt including senior convertible notes are classified as Level 2 and Level 3, respectively, in the fair value hierarchy.  

Considerable judgment is necessary to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments.  Accordingly, the estimates presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts the Company could realize on disposition of the financial instruments.  

Debt instruments at December 31, 2014 and 2013, with carrying values that are different than estimated fair values, are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both its business operations and economic conditions.  The Company principally manages its exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of its core business activities.  The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity and credit risk, primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of its debt funding and, from time to time, through the use of derivative financial instruments.  Specifically, the Company enters into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the values of which are determined by interest rates.  The Company’s derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of the Company’s known or expected cash receipts and its known or expected cash payments principally related to the Company’s investments and borrowings.  

At December 31, 2014, the Company had an interest in a consolidated joint venture that owns a real estate asset in Canada.  The net assets of this subsidiary are exposed to volatility in currency exchange rates.  The Company uses non-derivative financial instruments to economically hedge a portion of this exposure.  The Company manages its currency exposure related to the net assets of its Canadian subsidiary through foreign currency-denominated debt agreements.  

F-25


 

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.  To accomplish this objective, the Company generally uses Swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy.  The Swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.  

As of December 31, 2014 and 2013, the notional amount of the Swaps was $530.0 million and $631.4 million, respectively.  The following table discloses certain information regarding the Company’s Swaps (nine at December 31, 2014, not including the specified spreads), as well as their classification on the consolidated balance sheets, as of December 31, 2014 and 2013 (in millions):

All components of the Swaps were included in the assessment of hedge effectiveness.  The Company expects to reflect within the next 12 months, an increase to interest expense (and a corresponding decrease to earnings) of approximately $5.9 million, which includes amortization of previously settled interest rate contracts.  

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated, and that qualify, as cash flow hedges is recorded in Accumulated OCI and is subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.  During 2014, such derivatives were used to hedge the forecasted variable cash flows associated with existing or probable future obligations.  The ineffective portion of the change in the fair value of derivatives is recognized directly in earnings.  During the three years ended December 31, 2014, the amount of hedge ineffectiveness recorded was not material.  

The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of non-performance by the counterparties to the Swaps if the derivative position has a positive balance.  The Company believes it mitigates its credit risk by entering into Swaps with major financial institutions.  The Company continually monitors and actively manages interest costs on its variable-rate debt portfolio and may enter into additional interest rate swap positions or other derivative interest rate instruments based on market conditions.  The Company has not entered, and does not plan to enter, into any derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Credit Risk-Related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its Swap counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on certain of its unsecured indebtedness the Company could also be declared in default on its Swaps, resulting in an acceleration of payment under the Swaps.  

Net Investment Hedges

The Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk from its consolidated and unconsolidated international investments.  The Company has foreign currency-denominated debt agreements that expose the Company to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.  The Company has designated these foreign currency borrowings as a hedge of its net investment in its Canadian subsidiary.  Changes in the spot rate value are recorded as adjustments to the debt balance with offsetting unrealized gains and losses recorded in OCI.  Because the notional amount of the non-derivative instrument substantially matches the portion of the net investment designated as being hedged, and the non-derivative instrument is denominated in the functional currency of the hedged net investment, the hedge ineffectiveness recognized in earnings is not material.  The Company repaid all of its Euro-denominated borrowings in 2014 (Note 6).

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

Coventry II Fund

The Company is a party to various joint ventures with the Coventry II Fund, through which 10 existing or proposed retail properties, along with a portfolio of former Service Merchandise locations, were acquired at various times from 2003 through 2006.  The Company was generally responsible for day-to-day management of the properties through December 2011.  On November 4, 2009, Coventry Real Estate Advisors L.L.C., Coventry Real Estate Fund II, L.L.C. and Coventry Fund II Parallel Fund, L.L.C. (collectively, “Coventry”) filed suit against the Company and certain of its affiliates and officers in the Supreme Court of the State of New York, County of New York.  The complaint contained allegations including breach of contract, breach of fiduciary duty, fraudulent inducement, misrepresentation and economic duress.  The complaint sought compensatory, consequential and punitive damages.

In response to this action, the Company filed a motion to dismiss the complaint.  In June 2010, the court granted the motion in part (which was affirmed on appeal), dismissing Coventry’s claim that the Company breached a fiduciary duty owed to Coventry.  The Company also filed an answer to the complaint, and asserted various counterclaims against Coventry.  On October 10, 2011, the Company filed a motion for summary judgment, seeking dismissal of all of Coventry’s remaining claims.  On April 18, 2013, the court issued an order dismissing most of Coventry’s remaining claims against the Company.  The court’s decision denied the Company’s motion solely with respect to several claims for breach of contract under the Company’s prior management agreements in connection with certain assets.  Coventry appealed the court’s ruling dismissing its claims.  On June 14, 2014, the appellate court issued an opinion affirming the dismissal of most of Coventry’s remaining claims.  

On October 10, 2014, the Company and Coventry entered into a settlement agreement.  The agreement, which is subject to certain contingencies, provides for mutual releases of all claims and for the dismissal of the pending litigation and is expected to be finalized during the first quarter of 2015.  The Company does not expect the settlement to have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.  

Other

In addition to the litigation discussed above, the Company and its subsidiaries are subject to various legal proceedings, which, taken together, are not expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company.  The Company is also subject to a variety of legal actions for personal injury or property damage arising in the ordinary course of its business, most of which are covered by insurance.  While the resolution of all matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management believes that the final outcome of such legal proceedings and claims will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s liquidity, financial position or results of operations.

Commitments and Guaranties

In conjunction with the development and expansion of various shopping centers, the Company has entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction or redevelopment of shopping centers aggregating approximately $52.2 million as of December 31, 2014.  

At December 31, 2014, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $31.3 million.  The Company has not recorded any obligation associated with these letters of credit.  The majority of the letters of credit are collateral for existing indebtedness and other obligations of the Company.

In connection with certain of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company agreed to fund amounts due to the joint venture’s lender, under certain circumstances, if such amounts are not paid by the joint venture based on the Company’s pro rata share of such amount, aggregating $4.9 million at December 31, 2014.  

The Company has guaranteed certain special assessment and revenue bonds issued by the Midtown Miami Community Development District.  The bond proceeds were used to finance certain infrastructure and parking facility improvements.  In the event of a debt service shortfall, the Company is responsible for satisfying its share of the shortfall.  There are no assets held as collateral or liabilities recorded related to these guaranties.  To date, tax revenues have exceeded the debt service payments for these bonds.  

Leases

The Company is engaged in the operation of shopping centers that are either owned or, with respect to certain shopping centers, operated under long-term ground leases that expire at various dates through 2070, with renewal options.  Space in the shopping centers is leased to tenants pursuant to agreements that provide for terms ranging generally from one month to 30 years and, in some cases, for annual rentals subject to upward adjustments based on operating expense levels, sales volume or contractual increases as defined in the lease agreements.  

The scheduled future minimum rental revenues from rental properties under the terms of all non-cancelable tenant leases, assuming no new or renegotiated leases or option extensions for such premises and the scheduled minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable operating leases in which the Company is the lessee, principally for office space and ground leases as of December 31, 2014, are as follows for continuing operations (in thousands):

The impairment charges were triggered primarily due to the Company’s marketing of these assets for sale and management’s assessment of the likelihood and timing of one or more potential transactions.

(C)

Represents “other than temporary impairment” charges on unconsolidated joint venture investments.  Amount recorded in 2014 represents a charge on a joint venture development project in Canada.  The impairment primarily was triggered as a result of a major retailer’s change in its strategy to exit the Canadian market, as well as changes in the timing of the project and development assumptions.  In 2012, the charges primarily related to the investment in the Coventry II DDR Montgomery Farm LLC joint venture in which the Company sold its interest in 2012.

Items Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

The Company is required to assess the fair value of certain impaired consolidated and unconsolidated joint venture investments.  The valuation of impaired real estate assets and investments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each asset as well as the income capitalization approach considering prevailing market capitalization rates, analysis of recent comparable sales transactions, actual sales negotiations and bona fide purchase offers received from third parties and/or consideration of the amount that currently would be required to replace the asset, as adjusted for obsolescence.  In general, the Company considers multiple valuation techniques when measuring fair value of an investment.  However, in certain circumstances, a single valuation technique may be appropriate.  

For operational real estate assets, the significant assumptions included the capitalization rate used in the income capitalization valuation as well as the projected property net operating income.  For projects under development, the significant assumptions included the discount rate, the timing and the estimated costs for the construction completion and project stabilization, projected net operating income and the exit capitalization rate.  For investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, the Company also considered the valuation of any underlying joint venture debt.  These valuation adjustments were calculated based on market conditions and assumptions made by management at the time the valuation adjustments were recorded, which may differ materially from actual results if market conditions or the underlying assumptions change.  

The following table presents information about the Company’s impairment charges on both financial and nonfinancial assets that were measured on a fair value basis for the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.  The table also indicates the fair value hierarchy of the valuation techniques used by the Company to determine such fair value (in millions).

Transactions with Related Parties

Transactions with the Company’s equity affiliates are described in Note 2.

As discussed in Note 2, on April 28, 2014, affiliates of DDR sold to Mr. Alexander Otto (the “Investor”) and certain of his affiliates (collectively with the Investor, the “Purchasers”) the Company’s 50% ownership interest in SSB for approximately $343.6 million, which represented the Company’s entire investment in Brazil.  The Investor is deemed to be a related party as a result of his common stock ownership in DDR.  Furthermore, Dr. Finne, a director of DDR, is a Managing Director of certain entities affiliated with the Investor, which entities purchased a portion of the Company’s ownership interest in SSB.  The Company believes that the sales price and other terms of the transaction were negotiated on terms equivalent to those prevailing in an arms’ length transaction.  The transaction was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, with the two board members recommended for nomination by the Investor recusing themselves.  

In 2010, the Company funded a $31.7 million mezzanine loan to a subsidiary of EDT Retail Trust (“EDT”) collateralized by equity interests in six shopping center assets managed by the Company.  Although the Company’s interest in EDT was redeemed in 2009, the Company retained two positions on EDT’s board of directors through June 2012.  The mezzanine loan bore interest at a fixed rate of 10%.  For the first six months of 2012, the period in which EDT owned the assets, the Company recorded $1.5 million of interest income.  The loan was assumed by the Company’s unconsolidated joint venture BRE DDR Retail Holdings I, LLC and reclassified into Investments in and Advances to Joint Ventures in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2012 (Note 2).  In 2013, this loan was repaid in its entirety and applied to fund the Blackstone I Acquisition (Notes 2 and 3).

Restricted Stock Awards

In 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Board of Directors approved grants of 0.3 million, 0.2 million and 0.3 million restricted common shares, respectively, to executives of the Company.  The restricted stock grants generally vest in equal annual amounts over a four-year period.  Restricted share awards have the same cash dividend and voting rights as other common stock and are considered to be currently issued and outstanding.  These grants have a weighted-average fair value at the date of grant ranging from $9.25 to $16.92, which was equal to the market value of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant. As a component of compensation to the Company’s non-employee directors, the Company issued 0.1 million common shares to the non-employee directors in each of the three years ended December 31, 2014.  These grants were issued equal to the market value of the Company’s common shares at the date of grant and immediately vested upon grant.  

In 2009, the Company’s Board of Directors approved and adopted the Value Sharing Equity Program (the “2009 VSEP”) and the grant of awards to certain of the Company’s executives.  These award grants are reflected as restricted stock and vest in equal annual amounts through December 31, 2016.  

F-34


 

2013 Value Sharing Equity Program

The Company adopted the 2013 Value Sharing Equity Program (“2013 VSEP”) and on January 1, 2013, granted awards to certain officers of the Company that represent the opportunity to earn restricted stock grants through December 31, 2015 (unless terminated early pursuant to a change in control).  The 2013 VSEP awards, if earned, may result in the granting of common shares of the Company to participants on measurement dates over the three-year term, subject to an additional four-year service-based vesting schedule.  As a result, in general, the total compensation available to participants under the 2013 VSEP will be fully earned and vested only after seven years or December 31, 2019.  

The 2013 VSEP is designed to allow DDR to reward participants for superior financial performance and allow them to share in value created based upon (1) increases in DDR’s adjusted market capitalization over pre-established periods and (2) increases in relative total shareholder return of DDR as compared to the performance of the FTSE NAREIT Equity REITs Total Return Index for the FTSE International Limited NAREIT U.S. Real Estate Index Series (the “NAREIT Index”).  Under the 2013 VSEP, participants may be granted two types of performance-based awards – an “absolute performance award” and a “relative performance award” – that, if earned, are settled with DDR common shares and are subject to additional service-based vesting requirements for a period of four years.  

Absolute Performance Awards.  Under the absolute performance awards, on five specified measurement dates occurring through December 31, 2015, DDR will measure the “Value Created” during the period between the start of the 2013 VSEP and the applicable measurement date.  Value Created is measured for each period for the absolute performance awards as the increase in DDR’s market capitalization, as adjusted for equity issuances and/or equity repurchases, between the start of the 2013 VSEP and the applicable measurement date.  The share price used for purposes of determining Value Created for the absolute performance awards is capped based on an 8.0% compound annual growth rate for DDR shares from the start of the 2013 VSEP through the end of 2015 (the “Maximum Ending Share Price”), with the cap applying to each measurement period.  

The total share of Value Created for all participants for the absolute performance awards is capped at $18.0 million (the aggregate percentage share for all participants for the absolute performance awards is 1.4133%).  As a result, each participant’s total share of Value Created for the absolute performance awards is capped at an individual maximum limit.  After the final measurement date (or, if earlier, upon a change in control, as defined in the 2013 VSEP), each participant will earn DDR common shares with an aggregate value equal to the participant’s full percentage share of the Value Created.    

Relative Performance Awards.  Under the relative performance awards, on December 31, 2015 (or upon a change in control, if earlier), DDR will compare its dividend-adjusted share price performance during the period between the start of the 2013 VSEP and December 31, 2015, to the performance of a comparable hypothetical investment in the NAREIT Index (in each case as adjusted for equity issuances and/or equity repurchases during the same period).  No relative performance awards will be earned by participants unless and until the absolute performance awards have already been earned by DDR achieving its Maximum Ending Share Price, and thus achieving maximum performance for the absolute performance awards.  

If DDR’s relative performance exceeds the NAREIT Index, then the relative performance awards may be earned provided certain conditions are met.  The total share of Value Created for all participants for the relative performance awards is capped at $36.0 million (the aggregate percentage share for all participants for the relative performance awards is 1.9337%), and, as a result, each participant’s total share of Value Created for the relative performance awards is capped at an individual maximum limit.  The participant must be employed with DDR on the measurement date to be granted the relative performance awards.

Unless otherwise determined by the Executive Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors, the DDR shares earned under the absolute performance awards and relative performance awards will generally be subject to additional service-based restrictions consistent with the Company’s restricted stock awards.  The fair value of the 2013 VSEP awards was estimated on the date of grant using a Monte Carlo approach model based on the following assumptions:

As of December 31, 2014, total unrecognized compensation for the restricted awards granted under the plans as summarized above was $12.2 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average 2.3-year term.  

401(k) Plan

The Company has a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering substantially all of the officers and employees of the Company that permits participants to defer up to a maximum of 50% of their compensation subject to statutory limits.  The Company matches the participant’s contribution in an amount equal to 50% of the participant’s elective deferral for the plan year up to a maximum of 6% of a participant’s base salary plus annual cash bonus, not to exceed the sum of 3% of the participant’s base salary plus annual cash bonus.  The Company’s plan allows for the Company to make additional discretionary contributions.  No discretionary contributions have been made.  Employees’ contributions are fully vested, and the Company’s matching contributions vest 20% per year over five years.  Once an employee has been employed by the Company for five years, all matching contributions are fully vested.  The Company funds all matching contributions with cash.  The Company’s contributions for each of the three years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, were $1.1 million, $1.1 million and $1.0 million, respectively.  The 401(k) plan was fully funded at December 31, 2014.  

Elective Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company has a non-qualified elective deferred compensation plan (“Elective Deferred Compensation Plan”) for certain officers that permits participants to defer up to 100% of their base salaries, commissions and annual performance-based cash bonuses, less applicable taxes and benefits deductions.  The Company provides a matching contribution in the Elective Deferred Compensation Plan to any participant who defers to the Elective Deferred Compensation Plan based upon the lesser of (1) 3% of the participant’s total cash compensation or (2) 50% of total deferrals to the 401(k) and the Elective Deferred Compensation Plans combined, less any matching contributions made to the participant’s 401(k) plan.  Deferred compensation related to an employee contribution is charged to expense and is fully vested.  Deferred compensation related to the Company’s matching contribution is charged to expense and vests 20% per year.  Once an employee has been employed by the Company five years, all matching contributions are fully vested.  The Company’s contributions were $0.1 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012.  At December 31, 2014 and 2013, deferred compensation under the Elective Deferred Compensation Plan aggregated $3.7 million and $3.5 million, respectively.  The Elective Deferred Compensation Plan was fully funded at December 31, 2014.  

Equity Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains the DDR Corp. Equity Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Equity Deferred Compensation Plan”), a non-qualified compensation plan for certain officers and directors of the Company to defer the receipt of restricted shares.  At each of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 0.5 million common shares of the Company in the Equity Deferred Compensation Plan valued at $8.3 million and $7.1 million, respectively.  The Equity Deferred Compensation Plan was fully funded at December 31, 2014.  

Vesting of restricted share grants of approximately 0.1 million common shares in 2014, 2013 and 2012 was deferred through the Equity Deferred Compensation Plan.  The Company recorded $1.1 million in 2014 and 2013 and $1.8 million in 2012, in equity as deferred compensation obligations for the vested restricted shares deferred into the Equity Deferred Compensation Plan.

In 2014, 2013 and 2012, certain officers elected to have their deferred compensation distributed, which resulted in a reduction of the deferred obligation of $1.3 million in 2014 and $1.1 million for 2013 and 2012.  

F-36


 

Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Directors Plan”), a non-qualified compensation plan for the directors of the Company to defer the receipt of compensation.  At each of December 31, 2014 and 2013, there were 0.5 million and 0.4 million common shares of the Company in the Directors Plan valued at $8.8 million and $6.6 million, respectively.  The Directors Plan was fully funded at December 31, 2014.

The following potentially dilutive securities were considered in the calculation of EPS:

Potentially Dilutive Securities

·

Options to purchase 3.0 million, 2.7 million and 2.6 million common shares were outstanding at December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, respectively (Note 15).  These outstanding options were not considered in the computation of diluted EPS for all periods presented, as the options were anti-dilutive due to the Company’s loss from continuing operations.  

·

The Company’s senior convertible notes due 2040 were not included in the computation of diluted EPS for all periods presented due to the Company’s loss from continuing operations.  In accordance with the terms specified in the governing

F-37


 

documents, the senior convertible notes are convertible into common shares of the Company if the Company’s trading price exceeds 125% of the conversion price ($14.85 at December 31, 2014) (Note 7) and dilutive if the Company’s average trading price exceeds the conversion price.  The Company’s senior convertible notes due 2012, which were also convertible into common shares of the Company, were not included in the computation of diluted EPS in 2012 due to the Company’s loss from continuing operations.  The senior convertible notes due 2012 were repaid at maturity.  In addition, the purchased option related to these notes was not included in the computation of diluted EPS for 2012 because the purchase option was anti-dilutive.  

·

The exchange into common shares associated with OP Units was not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding for 2014, 2013 or 2012 because the effect of assuming conversion was anti-dilutive (Note 10).  

·

Shares subject to issuance under the Company’s 2013 VSEP (Note 15) were not considered in the computation of diluted EPS for the years ended December 2014 and 2013 as the calculation was anti-dilutive.  This 2013 VSEP was not in effect in 2012.  

·

Common shares that were subject to the forward equity agreements were not included in the computation of diluted EPS using the treasury stock method prior to the date of settlement because they were anti-dilutive due to the Company’s loss from continuing operations and are as follows (shares in millions):

Income Taxes

The Company elected to be treated as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 1993.  To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that the Company distribute at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders.  It is management’s current intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Company’s REIT status.  As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to corporate level federal income tax on taxable income it distributes to its shareholders.  As the Company distributed sufficient taxable income for each of the three years ended December 31, 2014, no U.S. federal income or excise taxes were incurred.  

If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes at regular corporate rates (including any alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for the four subsequent taxable years.  Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain foreign, state and local taxes on its income and property and to federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income.  In addition, the Company has a TRS that is subject to federal, state and local income taxes on any taxable income generated from its operational activity.  

In order to maintain its REIT status, the Company must meet certain income tests to ensure that its gross income consists of passive income and not income from the active conduct of a trade or business.  The Company utilizes its TRS to the extent certain fee and other miscellaneous non-real estate-related income cannot be earned by the REIT.  In addition, the Company is subject to income tax on any taxable income generated from its operations in Puerto Rico.  

At December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the tax cost basis of assets was $10.6 billion, $10.4 billion and $8.7 billion, respectively.  For the years ended December 31, 2014, 2013 and 2012, the Company recorded a net payment of $1.6 million, $1.9 million and $1.1 million, respectively, related to taxes. These amounts reflect taxes paid to federal and state authorities for franchise and other taxes.

Segment Information

The Company has two reportable operating segments: shopping centers and loan investments.  Each consolidated shopping center is considered a separate operating segment and follows the accounting policies described in Note 1; however, each shopping center on a stand-alone basis represents less than 10% of the revenues, profit or loss, and assets of the combined reported operating segment and meets the majority of the aggregation criteria under the applicable standard.  Effective 2014, the Company’s equity method investment in the Brazil equity investment was no longer considered a reportable segment due to the Company’s sale of its entire ownership interest in SSB (Note 2).  The operating segment information for the years ended December 2013 and 2012 has been restated to conform to the current presentation.  The following table summarizes the Company’s shopping centers:
