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, has not engaged, nor does it expect to retain, any REIT advisor.  The Company manages substantially all of the Portfolio Properties as defined herein.  At December 31, 2015, the Company owned and managed more than 115 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 12, 2016, consisted of 352 shopping centers (including 158 centers owned through joint ventures) and more than 1,000 acres of undeveloped land (of which approximately 100 acres are owned through unconsolidated joint ventures).  The shopping centers are located in 37 states as well as Puerto Rico (14 assets).  The shopping centers and land are collectively referred to as the “Portfolio Properties.”  From January 1, 2013, to February 12, 2016, the Company acquired 133 shopping centers (including 76 that were acquired by two unconsolidated joint ventures and 44 that were acquired from unconsolidated joint ventures) aggregating 27.4 million square feet of Company-owned GLA for an aggregate purchase price of $5.2 billion.  From January 1, 2013, to February 12, 2016, the Company sold 199 shopping centers (including 91 properties owned through unconsolidated joint ventures) aggregating 24.4 million square feet of Company-owned GLA for an aggregate sales price of $2.6 billion.  In 2014, the Company sold its entire investment in 10 assets in Brazil for an aggregate sales price of $343.6 million.  

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)

Increase primarily was due to the impact of 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 create shareholder value by inspiring an extraordinary team to thoughtfully allocate time and capital to the highest quality portfolio of power centers.  The Company strives to own premier locations for our retail partners to win market share and provide value and convenience for their customers.  The organization is focused on optimizing portfolio performance within a constantly evolving retail landscape.  

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.  

4


 

The Company’s key strategies are sum marized as follows:

 

·

Focus on long-term net asset value creation within the portfolio through strategic leasing, re-tenanting and redevelopment of the Company’s portfolio to be the preeminent landlord to the retailers that are winning market share and that are most successfully adapting in an omni-channel retailing environment;

 

·

Invest in assets that are expected to appreciate over the long term and where retailers will desire to locate for the best marketing and distribution of their goods and services;

 

·

Focus on the transactional analysis of which assets are more valuable in the Company’s operating platform and which are more valuable to someone else;

 

·

Develop and execute an action plan for those assets or tenants that could have a negative impact on cash flow and perceived portfolio quality over the long term;

 

·

Continue to focus on balance sheet improvement achieved through lowering leverage and maintaining long-term debt duration that allows for access to capital in all market cycles and

 

·

Continue to build and develop a team of empowered employees to execute with excellence.  

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, 2015, 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, Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart, PetSmart and Kohl's, representing 3.5%, 3.2%, 3.0%, 2.8% and 2.2%, respectively, of the Company’s aggregate annualized base rental revenues at December 31, 2015.  For more information on the Company’s tenants, see Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the caption Company Fundamentals.  

Qualification as a Real Estate Investment Trust

As of December 31, 2015, 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”), will not be subject to federal income tax to the extent it meets certain requirements of the Code.  

Employees

As of February 12, 2016, the Company employed 576 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 the Investors section of its website as a channel for routine distribution of important

5


 

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 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 rel eases 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, o r accessible through, any website referred to in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015 , is not incorporated by reference into, and shall not be deemed part of, this Form 10-K unless expressly noted.

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;

 

·

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.  

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, increases in consumer Internet purchases 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, 2015, 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 on terms favorable to the Company or at all.  

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

 

·

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 Incr ease Its Debt Could Adversely Affect Its Cash Flow

At December 31, 2015, the Company had outstanding debt of $5.1 billion (excluding its proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture mortgage debt aggregating $441.9 million as of December 31, 2015). 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 in the past, 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 equity 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

 

·

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 past.  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

8


 

their overall view of the industry.  Any rating organization that rates the Company’s publicly traded debt may lower the rating or decide , at its sole discretion , not to rate the publicly traded debt.  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 Comp any’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 or does not 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.  

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 Expec ted 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.  In addition, the Company’s partner or co-venturer could have different investment criteria that would impact the assets held by the joint venture or its interest in the joint venture.  These situations could have an impact on the Company’s revenues from its joint ventures.  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, cause its cash flows to be lower than its estimates or lead to business conflicts or litigation.  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, 2015, the Company had $467.7 million of investments in and advances to unconsolidated joint ventures holding 168 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.  For example, in the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded impairment charges on 25 operating shopping centers and several land parcels aggregating $279.0 million.  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 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;

 

·

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.  

10


 

In addition, the Company may not be in a position or have the opportunity in the future to make s uitable property acquisitions on advantageous terms due to competition for such properties with others engaged in real estate investment , some of which 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, Redevelopment and Construction Activities Could Affect Its Operating Results

The Company intends to continue the selective development, redevelopment and construction of retail properties in accordance with its development underwriting policies as opportunities arise.  The Company’s development, redevelopment and construction activities include the following risks:

 

·

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;

 

·

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 and

 

·

The Company may abandon development or redevelopment opportunities after expending resources to determine feasibility.

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;

11


 

 

·

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 is 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, other than foreclosure property, that constitute inventory or other property held for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business.  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.  

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

12


 

regula tions.  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 resu lt, 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 (includ ing 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 14 properties located on the island of Puerto Rico as of February 12, 2016, 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, 2015.  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 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.  

The Company Could Be Subject to Risks Relating to the Puerto Rican Economy and Government

 

In recent years, the economy in Puerto Rico has experienced a sustained downturn and the territorial government of Puerto Rico has operated at substantial spending deficits.  In light of these economic conditions, the territorial government’s current and expected cash flows, and recent credit downgrades that triggered acceleration clauses in certain outstanding municipal bonds and other bonds, the territorial government of Puerto Rico and certain utilities have announced that they expect to be unable to meet their existing debt obligations. If the territorial government and certain utilities are not able to restructure their debt obligations or obtain forbearance on debt service payments, they may be unable to provide various services (including utilities) relied upon in the operation of businesses

13


 

in Puerto Rico.  Furthermore, inaccessibility of utilities and other government services, along with a continued economic downturn and increases in taxes in Puerto Rico, may result in continued or increased migrat ion of residents of Puerto Rico to the mainland United States and elsewhere, which could decrease the territory’s tax base, exacerbating the territorial government’s cash flow issues, and decrease the number of consumers in Puerto Rico. In turn, consumers who remain in Puerto Rico could have less disposable income for the purchase of goods, which may result in declining merchant sales and merchant inability to expand or lease new space or pay rent or pay other expenses for new or existing operations, or res ult in a general decline in prevailing rental rates.  As of December 31, 2015, the Company owned 14 assets in Puerto Rico, aggregating 4.8 million square feet of Company-owned GLA and representing 7.6% of the Company’s annualized consolidated revenues for its portfolio at 100% and 5.7% of Company-owned GLA.  The persistence or further deterioration of economic conditions in Puerto Rico could have a negative impact on the Company’s results of operations, cash flows and financial condition.

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 Significant Shareholders Who May Exert Influence on the Company as a Result of Their Considerable Beneficial Ownership of the Company’s Common Shares, and Their Interests May Differ from the Interests of Other Shareholders

The Company has shareholders, including Mr. Alexander Otto who is a member of the Board of Directors, who, because of their considerable beneficial ownership of the Company’s common shares, are in a position to exert significant influence over the Company.  These shareholders may exert influence with respect to matters that are brought to a vote of the Company’s Board of Directors and/or the holders of the Company’s common shares.  Among others, these matters include the election of the Company’s Board of Directors, corporate finance transactions and joint venture activity, merger, acquisition and disposition activity, and amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation and Code of Regulations.  In the context of major corporate events, the interests of the Company’s significant shareholders may differ from the interests of other shareholders.  For example, if a significant shareholder does not support a merger, tender offer, sale of assets or other business combination because the shareholder judges it to be inconsistent with the shareholder’s investment strategy, the Company may be unable to enter into or consummate a transaction that would enable other shareholders to realize a premium over the then-prevailing market prices for common shares.  Furthermore, if the Company’s significant shareholders sell substantial amounts of the Company’s common shares in the public market to enhance the shareholders’ liquidity positions, fund alternative investments or for other reasons, the trading price of the Company’s common shares could decline significantly and other shareholders may be unable to sell their common shares at favorable prices.  The Company cannot predict or control how the Company’s significant shareholders may use the influence they have as a result of their common share holdings.

14


 

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;

 

·

The attractiveness of the securities of REITs in comparison to securities issued by other entities (including securities issued by other real estate companies or sovereign governments), bank deposits or other investments;

 

·

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 and Other Data Breaches

The Company’s business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity intrusions and other data security breaches. Such attacks could range from individual attempts to gain unauthorized access to information technology systems, to more sophisticated and coordinated security threats such as social engineering.  While the Company maintains some of its own critical information technology systems, it also depends on third parties to provide important information technology services relating to several key business functions, such as payroll, human resources, electronic communications and certain finance functions. Although the Company and such third parties employ 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 data breach. Furthermore, the security measures employed by third-party service providers may prove to be ineffective at preventing breaches of their systems. Data breach incidents could compromise the confidential information of the Company’s tenants, employees and third-party vendors and disrupt the Company’s business operations.

PROPERTIES

At December 31, 2015, the Portfolio Properties included 367 shopping centers (including 169 centers owned through joint ventures).  At December 31, 2015, the Portfolio Properties also included more than 1,000 acres of undeveloped land including parcels located adjacent to certain of the shopping centers.  At December 31, 2015, the Portfolio Properties aggregated 83.6 million square feet of Company-owned GLA (115.5 million square feet of total GLA) located in 38 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 14 assets owned in Puerto Rico aggregate 4.8 million square feet of Company-owned GLA (5.1 million square feet of total GLA).  At December 31, 2015, the Company also owned an interest in two land parcels in Canada.  

At December 31, 2015, the average annualized base rent per square foot of Company-owned GLA of the Company’s 198 wholly-owned shopping centers was $14.80.  For the 169 shopping centers owned through joint ventures, average annualized base rent per square foot was $13.95 at December 31, 2015.  The Company’s average annualized base rent per square foot does not

15


 

consider tenant expense reimbursements.  The Company generally does not enter into significant tenant concessions on a lease - by - lease basis.  

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.  

Information as to the Company’s 10 largest tenants based on total annualized rental revenues and Company-owned GLA at December 31, 2015, is set forth in Item 7. “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” under the caption Company Fundamentals of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.  For additional details related to property encumbrances for the Company’s wholly-owned assets, see “Real Estate and Accumulated Depreciation” (Schedule III) herein.  At December 31, 2015, the Company owned an investment in 168 properties owned through unconsolidated joint ventures, which served as collateral for joint venture mortgage debt aggregating approximately $3.2 billion (of which the Company’s proportionate share is $441.9 million) and which is not reflected in the consolidated indebtedness.  In addition, as of December 31, 2015, unless otherwise indicated, with respect to the 367 shopping centers:

 

·

The 50 largest assets represent 34.9% of the Company’s annualized base rent per square foot and 26.0% of total GLA;

 

·

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

 

·

242 of these properties include a grocery component;

 

·

Properties range in size from approximately 10,000 square feet to approximately 1,500,000 square feet of total GLA (with 155 properties exceeding 300,000 square feet of total GLA);

 

·

78.8% of the aggregate Company-owned GLA of these properties is leased to national tenants, including subsidiaries of national tenants and

 

·

93.3% of the aggregate Company-owned GLA of these properties was occupied as of December 31, 2015.  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 2011, between 89.1% and 93.5% of the aggregate Company-owned GLA of these properties was occupied.

As of February 12, 2016, there were 6,720 record holders and approximately 30,000 beneficial owners of the Company’s common shares.

 

The Company’s Board of Directors approved a 2016 dividend policy that it believes will continue to result in significant free cash flow, while still adhering to REIT payout requirements.  In January 2016, the Company declared its first-quarter 2016 dividend of $0.19 per common share, which represents an increase of 10.1% from the first quarter of 2015, payable on April 5, 2016, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 10, 2016.

 

The decision to declare and pay dividends on the common shares in 2016, 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 Code 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, 2015, approximately 57% of the Company’s distributions to shareholders constituted a return of capital and approximately 43% constituted taxable ordinary income dividends.

 

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, 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, 2015, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 367 shopping centers (including 169 shopping centers owned through joint ventures).  These properties consist of 353 shopping centers owned in the United States and 14 in Puerto Rico.  At December 31, 2015, the Company owned and managed more than 115 million total square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”), which includes all of the aforementioned properties.  The Company also owns more than 1,000 acres of undeveloped land, including interests in land.  At December 31, 2015, the aggregate occupancy of the Company’s operating shopping center portfolio was 93.3%, and the average annualized base rent per occupied square foot was $14.48.

 

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.  The Company is focused on creating shareholder value through capital allocation that should translate into net asset value growth over time.  A key to achieving this objective is the continued recycling of proceeds from the sale of bottom tier assets, as the Company believes the current pricing environment for its property type remains favorable.  The Company has accelerated the sale of assets not considered to have long-term growth potential and re-evaluated the targeted risk-return criteria for investing in development/redevelopments and new acquisitions of prime assets (i.e., market-dominant prime power centers located in large and supply-constrained markets, occupied by high-quality retailers with strong demographic profiles, which are referred to as “Prime”, “Prime Portfolio” or “Prime Assets”).  The Company seeks to invest in Prime Assets that will continue to improve portfolio quality, credit quality of cash flows and property-level operating results.  Overall, the Company seeks to hold market-dominant, quality assets in the top MSAs where retailers want to locate their stores.  The Company leases space to retailers that it believes are winning market share and that are most successful in adapting to an omni-channel retailing world. DDR is an organization that strives to be focused, fast and frugal in a constantly evolving retail landscape.

 

In addition to transactional activity, growth opportunities include continued lease-up of the portfolio, as well as selective redevelopment projects.  Further lease-up opportunities include recapturing prime units occupied by weaker retailers, consolidating small shops to accommodate high credit quality tenants, and downsizing junior anchors to enhance the merchandising mix of the assets, providing retailers with the preferred footprint and generating higher blended rents.  The Company strives to be the preeminent landlord and the choice for tenants to lease space.

 

The Company is focused on the following core competencies:

 

 

·

A platform and portfolio that is considered as the preeminent landlord for tenants and joint venture partners;

 

 

·

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 and with identifying asset-level opportunities, risks, competition and trends;

 

 

·

An investment department 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;

 

 

·

An experienced leasing department dedicated to identifying and taking 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 that facilitate access to secured and unsecured, public and private capital;

 

 

·

An experienced funds management group dedicated to generating consistent returns and providing quality disclosure for institutional partners;

41


 

 

 

·

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

 

 

·

An overall focus on long-term net asset value creation underlying all investment decisions.

 

Transaction and Capital Markets Highlights

 

During 2015, the Company completed approximately $1.6 billion of real estate transactions and financing activities, including the following:

 

 

·

Acquired 10 shopping centers and outparcels valued at $563.9 million or $326.3 million at the Company’s share;  

 

 

·

Sold 66 non-Prime operating assets and other non-income producing assets for $1.0 billion (including 37 assets held in joint ventures) or $568.3 million at the Company’s share;  

 

 

·

Issued $900.0 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes ($500.0 million at 3.625% due February 2025 and $400.0 million at 4.25% due February 2026);

 

 

·

Amended its primary $750 million Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility and entered into a new $400.0 million unsecured term loan and

 

 

·

Paid an annual cash dividend of $0.69 per common share, an increase of 11.3% from 2014.

 

Operational Accomplishments

 

The Company continued to improve cash flow and the quality of its portfolio in 2015 as evidenced by the achievement of the following:

 

 

·

Signed leases and renewals for approximately 11 million square feet of GLA, which included 3.0 million square feet of new leasing volume;

 

 

·

Achieved blended leasing spreads of 9.4% for new leases and renewals at DDR’s share;

 

 

·

Increased the annualized base rent per occupied square foot to $14.48 at December 31, 2015, as compared to $13.91 at December 31, 2014, an increase of 4.1% and

 

 

·

Placed over $200 million of development and redevelopment projects in service.

 

Retail Environment

 

Many retailers have aggressive store opening plans for 2016 and 2017.  With demand exceeding supply, retailers are becoming more flexible with their design and prototype 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, Bed Bath & Beyond, Walmart/Sam’s Club, PetSmart, Kohl’s, Dick’s Sporting Goods and Ross Stores have increased sales and remained well-capitalized while outperforming other retail categories on a relative basis.  The Company is also focused on increasing its exposure to specialty grocers, which are expanding. (Over 60% of the Company’s properties have a grocery component.)

The Company leased approximately 11 million square feet, including 515 new leases and 815 renewals, for a total of 1,330 leases executed in 2015 .  The Company continued to execute both new leases and renewals at positive rental spreads.   Leasing spreads are a key metric in real estate, representing the percentage increase over rental rates on existing leases versus rental r ates on new and renewal leases.   At December 31, 2015 , the Company had 841 leases expiring in 2016 with an average base rent per square foot of $ 15.64 .  For the comparable leases executed in 2015 , the Company generated positive leasing spreads on a pro rat a basis of 22.0 % for new leases and 7.0 % for renewals and 9.4% on a blended basis .  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 bench mark to compare the average annualized base rent of expiring leases with the comparable executed market rental rates.

Five-Year Blended Lease Spreads

 

 

For new leases executed during 2015, the Company expended a weighted-average cost of tenant improvements and lease commissions estimated at $4.89 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—2015 Financial Results

 

For the year ended December 31, 2015, net income attributable to common shareholders decreased compared to 2014 primarily due to a greater amount of impairment charges recorded in 2015, partially offset by the impact of transaction activity as well as organic growth and continued lease up within the portfolio.  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):

In 2015, 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 initiatives are focused on positioning its balance sheet to perform in all market cycles.  In the first quarter of 2015, a new senior leadership team was put in place as the Company named a new Chief Executive Officer as well as a new Chief Financial Officer.  Although the general Company strategy has not changed, as a result of a combination of continual recycling of assets and the overall favorable asset disposition environment, the new senior management team determined to accelerate the portfolio quality improvement initiative and potentially achieve lower leverage more quickly.  Management expects to achieve these goals through the acceleration of asset sales not considered to have long-term growth potential that the Company’s seeks, as well as the re-evaluation of the targeted risk/return criteria for investing in development/redevelopments and new acquisitions of Prime Assets.  As a result, the Company recorded $279.0 million in impairment charges in the first quarter related to 25 operating

44


 

shopping centers and five parcels of land previously held for development.  The impairments were triggered by the acceleration of the disposition plans for the operating assets as well as the decision to no longer pursue any potential development related to the land parcels.   

 

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 Company’s 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.  Accordingly, 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 2018.  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.

 

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,

45


 

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 activit y 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 undeveloped land 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 Company’s 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.  

 

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.  

 

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

46


 

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 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.  

 

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 or not at stabilization, 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.

 

Deferred Tax Assets and Tax Liabilities

 

The Company accounts for income taxes related to its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) 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 determinations, 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 that 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 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.

47


 

 

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 affect 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.

 

 

COMPARISON OF 2015, 2014 AND 2013 RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

As disclosed in Note 1, “Summary of Significant Accounting Policies,” of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein, the Company adopted FASB Standard, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, as of January 1, 2015.  The Company did not have any asset sales that qualified for discontinued operations presentation in 2015.  However, the Company’s 2014 and 2013 consolidated financial statements continue to be presented in accordance with the accounting standards effective through December 31, 2014.  For the comparison of 2015 to 2014, shopping center properties owned as of January 1, 2014, and for the comparison of 2014 to 2013, shopping center properties owned as of January 1, 2013, are referred to herein as the “Comparable Portfolio Properties.”  These exclude properties under development or redevelopment and those sold by the Company.

The Comparable Portfolio Properties’ aggregate occupancy rate was 94.3% at December 31, 2015, as compared to 93.6% at both December 31, 2014 and 2013.  The Comparable Portfolio Properties average annualized base rent per occupied square foot was $14.70, $14.01 and $13.40, as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Including the Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL (“SSB”) joint venture assets that were sold in 2014, the combined shopping center portfolio and joint venture shopping center portfolio occupancy rate was 92.2% and 90.5%, respectively, and the average annualized base rent per occupied square foot was $14.18 and $15.23, respectively, as of December 31, 2013.  

 

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

 

The increase in the 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 (see Strategic Transaction Activity), as well as continued leasing of the existing portfolio at positive rental spreads.

 

(B)

The increase in recoveries from tenants primarily was driven by the net impact of acquired properties and dispositions.  Recoveries from tenants for the Comparable Portfolio Properties’ were approximately 92.2%, 92.1% and 91.7% of reimbursable operating expenses and real estate taxes for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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 2015 to 2014

 

The revenues classified as management, development and other fee income are generated from the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures.  Changes in the number of assets under management or the joint venture fee structure could impact the amount of revenue recorded in future periods.  The decrease in Ancillary and other property income primarily was due to the termination of the Company’s operating agreement with certain entertainment operations at a property under redevelopment in the third quarter of 2014.  After considering the related operating expenses associated with the operating agreement, the impact of the termination on the Company’s results was immaterial.  

 

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, a joint venture with The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) formed in 2014, which owned 70 properties at December 31, 2014.  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.

(B)

The Company recorded impairment charges during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, primarily related to shopping center assets and land marketed for sale. The higher impairment charges in 2015 related to 25 operating shopping centers and five parcels of land previously held for future development, which management identified at March 31, 2015, as disposal candidates over the following 12 to 24-month period. Impairment charges reflected in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, were $8.9 million and $53.6 million, respectively.  These impairments 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)

General and administrative expenses for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, were approximately 4.7%, 5.4% and 4.9% of total revenues, respectively, including total revenues of unconsolidated joint ventures and discontinued operations (in 2014 and 2013).  The decrease in expense in 2015 primarily was due to the change in the Company’s executive structure, as well as lower travel, professional fees and advertising expenses.  The Company continues to expense certain internal leasing salaries, legal salaries and related expenses associated with leasing and re-leasing of existing space.

 

Included in general and administrative expenses in 2014 is a $5.4 million charge related to the separation of the Company’s former Chief Executive Officer, the terms of which were pursuant to a separation agreement executed on December 31, 2014.

The change in the amount of interest income recognized in each of the three years primarily is due to the change in the composition of the preferred equity investments in the unconsolidated joint ventures with Blackstone (see Strategic Transaction Activity).  The weighted-average loan receivable outstanding and weighted-average interest rate, including loans to affiliates, are as follows:

The weighted-average interest rate (based on contractual rates and excluding senior convertible debt accretion, fair market value of adjustments and debt issuance costs) at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, was 4.6%, 4.8% and 4.7%, respectively.  The change in the weighted-average debt outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2014, compared to 2013, was a result of the acquisition of Prime power centers.

 

Interest costs capitalized in conjunction with development and redevelopment projects and unconsolidated development and redevelopment joint venture interests were $6.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to $8.7 million and $8.8 million for the comparable periods in 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The decrease in the amount of interest costs capitalized is a result of a change in the mix of active development projects year-over-year.

 

For the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, $9.9 million and $19.5 million, respectively, of interest expense was classified as discontinued operations.  As a result, when this amount is appropriately considered in the year-over-year comparison, the change in interest expense was immaterial.

In 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company incurred $1.0 million, $3.0 million and $3.3 million, respectively, in transaction costs related to the acquisition of shopping centers.  In 2014, the Company recorded a charge of $7.3 million, as a result of net termination fees paid to major tenants in connection with two redevelopments.  The 2014 expenses were partially offset by a gain recorded on the sale of securities of $1.4 million.

 

Litigation-related expenses

 

Litigation-related expenses include costs incurred by the Company to defend the litigation arising from joint venture assets that were owned through the Company’s investments with the Coventry II Fund.  This litigation was settled in 2015.

 

Notes receivable reserve

 

In 2014, the Company recorded a loan loss reserve based upon the estimated collateral value of a non-performing note receivable.  In the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company sold the note receivable associated with this loan loss reserve.  As a result, the related aggregate loan loss reserve of $4.8 million was reversed and income of $2.9 million was recognized and classified as Gain on Disposition of Real Estate in the consolidated statement of operations.

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

 

Comparison of 2015 to 2014

 

The decrease in equity in net income of joint ventures for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the prior year, primarily was a result of higher impairment charges in 2015 as well as the sale of joint venture investments in 2014 and 2015 and the related transactional impact.  This decrease was partially offset by the impact of the Company’s investments in joint ventures formed with Blackstone in the fourth quarter of 2014 and the fourth quarter of 2015.   In addition, in 2014, the Company recorded a gain of $83.7 million from its sale of its 50% interest in SSB.  

 

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).

 

(B)

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)

The Gain on Sale and Change in Control of Interests primarily is driven by the Company’s strategy to recycle assets including those held through unconsolidated joint venture investments.  The Company acquired its partners’ interests in 44 shopping centers (one in 2015, eight in 2014 and 35 in 2013).  As these properties were previously unconsolidated, the Company accounted for these transactions as step acquisitions and recorded an aggregate net gain on change in control. In 2015, these gains were offset by a loss on sale associated with the Company’s disposition of its 50% investment in a property management company to its joint venture partner.  In addition, in 2014, the Company recorded a gain from the sale of its 50% interest in SSB.  This gain includes the release of $19.7 million of foreign currency translation from Accumulated Comprehensive Income.

 

(D)

The increase in tax expense in 2015 primarily is a result of a tax restructuring related to the Company’s assets in Puerto Rico, in accordance with temporary legislation of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code.  This election permitted the Company to step-up its tax basis in the 14 Puerto Rican assets and reduce its effective tax rate from 39% to a 10% withholding tax related to those assets.

(A)

For 2015, the gain on disposition of real estate is more fully described in Note 13, “Discontinued Operations and Disposition of Real Estate and Real Estate Investments” of the Company’s consolidated financial statements included herein.  For 2014 and 2013, the 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.  

 

(B)

Change in non-controlling interests for the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily was the result of the net gain/loss allocated to the minority partners related to the sale of undeveloped land in Russia and 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.

 

(C)

For the year ended December 31, 2015, the decrease in net income attributable to DDR compared to 2014 primarily was due to a greater amount of impairment charges recorded in 2015 triggered by an acceleration of the Company’s asset disposition plans.  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 and gains and losses from depreciable property dispositions, 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, interest costs and acquisition, disposition and development activities.  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 and (iv) 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

54


 

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 the se 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 ass urances 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 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.

The increase in Operating FFO for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to 2014, primarily was due to the impact of Prime power center acquisitions as well as organic growth and continued lease up within the portfolio.

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 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.

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 2015, the Company continued to strategically allocate cash flow from operating and financing activities.  The Company also completed public debt offerings and amended the Revolving Credit Facilities (as defined below) in order to strengthen its balance sheet and reduce risk, finance strategic investments and improve its financial flexibility.

 

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.  

 

In 2015, the Company amended its 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 amended its unsecured revolving credit facility with PNC Bank, National Association (together with the Unsecured Credit Facility, the “Revolving Credit Facilities”) to reduce the borrowing capacity from $65 million to $50 million and to match the terms of the primary facility.  The Company’s borrowings under these facilities bear interest at variable rates based on LIBOR plus 100 basis points at December 31, 2015, a decrease of 15 basis points from the previous rate, 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”).

 

57


 

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 othe r 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 a nd certain acquisitions.  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 op erating 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, a nd/or an acceleration of any outstanding borrowings may occur.  As of December 31, 2015 , 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 the se 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 2016 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 continue to strengthen its focus on 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, 2015 (in millions):

The Company has a $250 million continuous equity program.  At February 12, 2016, the Company had $234.6 million available for the future issuance of common shares under that 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, 2015, the Company’s 2016 debt maturities consisted of $240.0 million of unsecured notes and $140.7 million of consolidated mortgage debt.  In January 2016, $27.5 million of the consolidated mortgage debt maturing in 2016, was extended for a one-year term.  The Company expects to fund these obligations from possible refinancing opportunities, including extension options, utilization of its Revolving Credit Facilities, proceeds from asset sales or cash flow from operations.  No assurance can be provided that these obligations will be refinanced or repaid as currently anticipated.

 

Management believes the scheduled debt maturities in 2016 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 maturities with 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.

 

58


 

Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

 

The Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures have $665.2 million of debt maturing in 2016, of which the Company’s proportionate share is $33.3 million.  The Company expects to fund these obligations from possible refinancing opportunities.

 

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.

 

The Company’s cash flow activities are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Operating Activities:   The change in cash flow from operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily was due to a full year of cash flow from assets acquired in 2014 and an increase in cash flow from those assets acquired in 2015 from the date of acquisition, partially offset by assets sold and changes in accounts payable and accrued expenses.

 

Investing Activities:   The change in cash flow from investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily was due to a decrease in joint venture advances and contributions offset by a reduction in proceeds received from the disposition of real estate investments in 2015 and a lower amount of real estate acquired in 2015.  The 2014 disposition proceeds included the Company’s sale of its joint venture investment in Brazil.

 

Financing Activities:   The change in cash flow from financing activities for the year ended December 31, 2015, compared to the year ended December 31, 2014, primarily was due to a higher amount of net debt repayments and the redemption of preferred shares in 2014.  

 

The Company satisfied its REIT requirement of distributing at least 90% of ordinary taxable income with declared common and preferred share cash dividends of $272.4 million in 2015, as compared to $246.9 million of cash dividends paid in 2014 and $205.4 million of cash dividends paid in 2013.  Because actual distributions were greater than 100% of taxable income, federal income taxes were not incurred by the Company in 2015.

 

The Company declared cash dividends of $0.69 per common share in 2015.  In January 2016, the Company declared its first quarter 2016 dividend of $0.19 per common share payable on April 5, 2016, to shareholders of record at the close of business on March 10, 2016.  The Board of Directors of the Company expects to continue to monitor the 2016 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

 

2016 Strategic Transaction Activity

 

From January 1, 2016 to February 24, 2016, the Company sold 16 operating assets, including 11 owned by one joint venture, and two non-operating assets for an aggregate sales price of $218.7 million at the Company’s share.

 

2015 Strategic Transaction Activity

 

The Company has a portfolio management strategy to opportunistically 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.  

59


 

Transactions are completed both on balance sheet and through off-balance sheet joint venture arrangements with top tier, well capitalized partners.

 

Acquisitions

 

In 2015, the Company acquired four Prime Assets (Orange County, California; Orlando, Florida (two assets) and Houston, Texas).  These assets aggregated 1.2 million square feet of Company-owned GLA and were acquired for an aggregate purchase price of $219.1 million.  The Company assumed $33.0 million of mortgage debt at a fair value of $33.7 million at closing with these acquisitions.  The Company acquired its partner’s 80% interest in the asset in Orange County, California, included above, valued at $49.2 million in connection with the final dissolution of the Company’s joint venture with the Coventry II Fund in exchange for the Company’s transfer of its interest in the remaining 21 joint venture assets.  The Company recorded a Gain on Change in Control of Interests of $14.3 million related to the acquisition of the interest in this asset from the joint venture.  

 

Dispositions

 

In 2015, the Company sold 29 shopping center properties, aggregating 3.9 million square feet, plus non-income producing assets, for an aggregate sales price of $495.5 million.  The Company recorded a net gain of $167.6 million.  

 

In 2015, the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures had the following sales transactions, of which the Company’s proportionate share of the gain was $4.0 million:

As discussed above, a part of the Company’s portfolio management strategy is to opportunistically recycle capital from lower quality, lower growth assets into the acquisition of higher quality assets with long-term growth potential.  In March 2015, the Company’s new senior management team completed an extensive review of the entire portfolio and evaluated potential sale opportunities, taking into account the long-term growth prospects of assets being considered for sale, the current overall favorable disposition environment, the use of sale proceeds and the impact to the Company’s balance sheet, in addition to the impact on operating results.  As a result of that review, in the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $179.7 million related to 25 operating shopping centers.  The Company sold five of these assets in 2015 and has started marketing certain of the remainder of the assets for sale.  As a result, these shopping centers are no longer considered as long-term holds.  

 

Transactions with Blackstone

 

The Company has invested in several joint venture arrangements with Blackstone.  Each of the joint ventures is structured with Blackstone-affiliated entities 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 2013, the Company acquired Blackstone’s 95% interest in 30 shopping centers aggregating 11.8 million square feet of GLA.  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 2013.

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 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.

There are no assets remaining in this joint venture.  

 

Development and Redevelopment Opportunities

 

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 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 2016 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 2016.

 

The Company’s consolidated land holdings are classified in two separate line items on the Company’s consolidated balance sheets included herein, (i) Land and (ii) Construction in Progress and Land.  At December 31, 2015, the $2.2 billion of Land primarily consisted of land that is part of the Company’s 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 150 acres of this land, which has a recorded cost basis of approximately $24 million, is available for future development.

 

61


 

Included in Construction in Progress and Land at December 31, 2015 , were $ 84 million of recorded costs related to undeveloped land for which active construction has not yet commenced or was previously ceased .  The Company evaluates its intentions with respect to these assets each reporting period and records an impairment charge e qual 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.   In 2015, the Company determined it would no longer pursue the development of certain of these asse ts.  Rather, the Company sold two of these assets in 2015 and is marketing the remainder of these parcels for sale in the near term.  As a result, the Company recorded an aggregate impairment charge of $99.3 million on five parcels of land in 2015.

 

Development and Redevelopment Projects

 

As part of its portfolio management strategy to develop, expand, improve and re-tenant various properties, the Company has invested approximately $369 million in various consolidated active development and redevelopment projects and expects to bring at least $190 million of investments in service in 2016 on a net basis, after deducting sales proceeds from outlot sales.

2014 and 2013 Strategic Transaction Activity

 

Acquisitions and Investments

 

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 with Blackstone.  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.  These OP Units were converted into DDR common shares in 2015.

 

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

62


 

Company recorded a G ain on C hange in C ontrol of I nterests of $ 1.1 million related to the five assets acqui red 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.

 

Dispositions

 

In 2014, the Company sold its entire investment in SSB for $343.6 million to Mr. Alexander Otto, a director of the Company in 2015, 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 believed that the sales price and other terms of the transaction were negotiated on terms equivalent to those prevailing in an arms’ length transaction.  Prior to the authorization of the transaction, an independent committee of the Company’s Board of Directors reviewed the relationship of the parties and the terms of the proposed transaction, among other things.  Upon concluding its review, the independent committee recommended the approval of the proposed transaction. After assessing the terms of the transaction and its favorability and fairness to the Company, the transaction was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors, with the two board members recommended for nomination by Mr. Otto, including Dr. Finne, recusing themselves.

 

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 undeveloped land in Russia.   The Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures sold 37 shopping center properties, excluding those properties acquired by the Company as described above, aggregating 4.7 million square feet for an aggregate sales price of $480.4 million, of which the Company’s proportionate share of the gain was approximately $11.9 million.

 

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 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.

 

Development and Redevelopments

 

As part of its portfolio management strategy to develop, expand, improve and re-tenant various consolidated properties, the Company invested an aggregate of $190.9 million and $166.0 million in various development and redevelopment projects on a net basis, after deducting sales proceeds from outlot sales, during 2014 and 2013, 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 and one development project.  Such arrangements are generally with institutional investors located throughout the United States.  The Company also had a preferred equity investment of $388.4 million plus $6.8 million of accrued interest at December 31, 2015, with an annual interest rate of 8.5% due from its joint ventures with Blackstone.

 

The Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures had aggregate outstanding indebtedness to third parties of $3.2 billion and $3.5 billion at December 31, 2015 and 2014, 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.

 

 

FINANCING ACTIVITIES

 

The Company has historically accessed capital sources through both the public and private markets.  The Company’s acquisitions, developments and redevelopments are generally financed through cash provided from operating activities, Revolving

63


 

C redit F acilit ies, mortgages assumed, construction loans, secured debt, unsecured debt, common and preferred equity offerings, joint venture capital and asset sales.  Total consolidated debt outstanding was $ 5.1 billion at December 31, 2015 , compared to $ 5.2  billion and $ 5.3  billion at December 31, 2014 and 2013 , respectively.

In 2015, the Company amended and restated its Revolving Credit Facilities.  The Unsecured Credit Facility maturity date was extended to June 2019, with two six-month borrower options to extend upon the Company’s request, provided certain conditions are satisfied.   The PNC unsecured revolving credit facility was amended to reduce the commitment to $50 million, extend the maturity date to June 2019, with two six-month borrower options, and modify certain other terms to conform to the Unsecured Credit Facility.  Also, pricing on the Revolving Credit Facilities was reduced and set at LIBOR plus 100 basis points at December 31, 2015, a decrease of 15 basis points from the previous rate, and is determined based upon the Company’s credit ratings from Moody's and S&P.

CAPITALIZATION

 

At December 31, 2015, the Company’s capitalization consisted of $5.1 billion of debt, $350.0 million of preferred shares and $6.2 billion of market equity (market equity is defined as common shares and OP Units outstanding multiplied by $16.84, the closing price of the Company’s common shares on the New York Stock Exchange at December 31, 2015), resulting in a debt to total market capitalization ratio of 0.44 to 1.0, as compared to the ratios of 0.43 to 1.0 and 0.47 to 1.0 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  The closing prices of the common shares on the New York Stock Exchange were $18.36 and $15.37 at December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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

64


 

to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization.  Each rating should be evaluated independently of any other rating.  The Comp any 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 10 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, 2015, including capitalized interest.  For variable-rate debt, the rate in effect at December 31, 2015, is assumed to remain in effect until the respective initial maturity date of each instrument.  

 

In conjunction with the development and redevelopment of shopping centers, the Company had entered into commitments with general contractors aggregating approximately $24.8 million for its consolidated properties at December 31, 2015.  These obligations, composed principally of construction contracts, are generally due in 12 to 24 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, 2015, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $30.2 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 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, 2015, the Company had purchase order obligations, typically payable within one year, aggregating approximately $2.8 million related to the maintenance of its properties and general and administrative expenses.

 

During 2015, the Company was a party to employment contracts with certain executive officers.  These contracts generally provided for base salary, bonuses based on factors including the financial performance of the Company and personal performance, participation in the Company’s equity plans and retirement plans, health and welfare benefits and reimbursement of various qualified business expenses.  These employment agreements also provided 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.) and severance payments and benefits for various departure scenarios.  These contracts expired pursuant to their terms on December 31, 2015.

 

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

65


 

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 ren ts 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 2016 and 2017.  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 approximately 11 million square feet of space for new leases and renewals for the year ended December 31, 2015.  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 whose annualized rental revenue equals or exceeds 3% of annualized consolidated revenues and the Company’s proportionate share of unconsolidated joint venture revenues (TJX Companies at 3.5%, Bed Bath & Beyond at 3.2% and Walmart 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, Target and Bed Bath & Beyond) have been rapidly growing their omni-channel 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 convenience, versus high-priced discretionary luxury items, which the Company believes will enable many of its tenants to outperform 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, 2015, as evidenced by the consistency 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).

 

The Company believes that the quality of its shopping center portfolio is strong, as evidenced by the high historical occupancy rates and consistent growth in the average annualized base rent per occupied square foot.  Historical occupancy has generally ranged from 92% to 96% since the Company’s initial public offering in 1993.  The shopping center portfolio occupancy was 93.3% at December 31, 2015, as compared to 93.5% at December 31, 2014.  The total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot was $14.48 at December 31, 2015, as compared to $13.91 at December 31, 2014.  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 2015 was only $4.89 per rentable square foot.  The Company generally does not expend a significant amount of capital on lease renewals.  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 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 potentially challenging economic times.

The Company owns 14 assets on the island of Puerto Rico aggregating 4.8 million square feet of Company-owned GLA.  These assets represent 7.6% of the Company’s annualized consolidated revenues for its portfolio at 100% and 5.7% of Company-owned GLA at December 31, 2015.  There is concern about the status of the Puerto Rican economy, the ability of the government of Puerto Rico to meet its financial obligations and the impact of any government default on the economy of Puerto Rico.  The Company, however, believes that its assets are well positioned to withstand continuing recessionary pressures and represent a source of stable, high quality cash flow because the tenants in these assets (many of which are U.S. retailers such as Walmart, TJX Companies and Bed Bath & Beyond) typically cater to the local consumer’s desire for value and convenience and often provide consumers with day-to-day necessities.  However, there can be no assurance that the economic conditions in Puerto Rico will not deteriorate further, which could materially and negatively impact consumer spending and ultimately adversely affect the Company (see Item 1A. Risk Factors).

NEW ACCOU NTING 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 Company’s consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.  Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the Company’s 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.

 

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;

67


 

 

 

·

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;

 

 

·

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 undeveloped land 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 (the Company owns significant assets in Puerto Rico), 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

68


 

 

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 i ncrease and adversely affect its results of operations and financial condition;  

 

 

·

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.

QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

 

The Company’s primary market risk exposure is interest rate risk.  The Company’s debt, excluding unconsolidated joint venture debt, (adjusted to reflect the $78.5 million and $530.0 million of variable-rate debt that LIBOR was swapped to at a fixed rate of 2.8% and 1.3%, at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively), is summarized as follows:

The Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures’ indebtedness at its carrying value, 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, 2015 and 2014 is summarized as follows:

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, 2015 and 2014, the interest rate on the Company’s $78.5 million and $530.0 million consolidated floating rate debt, respectively, was swapped to fixed rates.  At December 31, 2015 and 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.

The carrying value of the Company’s fixed-rate debt is adjusted to include the $ 78.5 million and $ 530.0  million of variable-rate debt that was swapped to a fixed rate at December 31, 2015 and 2014 , 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, 2015 and 2014 , is summarized as follows (in millions):

Includes the fair value of Swaps, which was a liability of $2.5 million and $4.3 million, net, at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

(B)

Includes the fair value of Swaps, which was a liability of $1.2 million and an asset of $8.8 million, net, at December 31, 2015 and 2014, 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, 2015, would result in an increase in interest expense of approximately $8.9 million for the Company and $0.9 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, 2015.  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, 2015, 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, 2015.

 

The effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2015, 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 months ended December 31, 2015, 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 Regi stered 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, 2015 and 2014, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2015 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.  In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule s 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, 2015, 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 schedule s , 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 schedule s , 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.

 

As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted accounting standards updates (“ASU”) No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity”, which changed the criteria for reporting discontinued operations in 2015 and ASU No. 2015-03, “Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs,” which changed the presentation of certain debt issuance costs.

 

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.

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.  

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the Company’s 2014 financial statements to conform to the 2015 presentation.

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 undeveloped land, 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.  

Construction in Progress and Land includes undeveloped land 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 $10.3 million, $11.1 million and $10.9 million in 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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 undeveloped land 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 undeveloped land, 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 of $279.0 million, $38.1 million and $72.6 million (Note 12), including those classified within discontinued operations (2014 and 2013), related to consolidated real estate investments during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  

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.  

Prior to the Company’s adoption on January 1, 2015 of guidance for reporting discontinued operations (see “New Accounting Standards Adopted”), 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.  

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.  The Company evaluated its property portfolio and did not identify any properties that would meet the above-mentioned criteria for held for sale as of December 31, 2015 and 2014.  

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, 2015, 2014 and 2013, aggregated $234.6 million, $243.2 million and $218.4 million, respectively, of which $6.7 million, $8.7 million and $8.8 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.  Periodically, 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 $1.9 million, $30.7 million and $1.0 million (Note 12) related to its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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

F-10


 

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.   

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 and operating reserves as required pursuant to the respective loan agreement.  For purposes of the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows, changes in restricted cash caused by changes in operating expenses, primarily real estate taxes, are reflected in cash from operating activities and 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 $6.2 million and $7.2 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  At December 31, 2015 and 2014, straight-line rents receivable, net of a provision for uncollectible amounts of $4.0 million and $3.6 million, respectively, aggregated $65.7 million and $63.8 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 accordance with Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-03, in the Company’s consolidated balance sheets and are amortized over the terms of the related debt agreements (see “New Accounting Standards Adopted”).  Such amortization is reflected as Interest Expense in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.  

 

F-11


 

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 Company’s 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.  

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, 2015, 2014 and 2013, stock-based compensation cost recognized by the Company was $7.0 million, $9.1 million and $7.4 million, respectively.  These amounts include $0.5 million, $1.4 million and $0.1 million as a result of accelerated vesting of awards due to employee separations in 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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.  

F-12


 

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 suc h, the Company is subject to federal and state income taxes on the income from these activities.   The Protecting Americans from Tax Hikes Act (PATH Act) was enacted in December 2015, and included numerous law changes applicable to REITs.  The provisions ha ve various effective dates beginning as early as 2016.  The Company expects that the changes will not materially impact its operations, but will continue to monitor as regulatory guidance as issued.

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.  For the three years ended December 31, 2015, the Company recognized no material adjustments regarding its tax accounting treatment for uncertain tax provisions.  As of December 31, 2015, the tax years that remain subject to examination by the major tax jurisdictions under applicable statutes of limitations are generally the year 2012 and forward.

Deferred Tax Assets

The Company accounts for income taxes related to its taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) 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.  

F-13


 

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.  

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.  

Segments

At December 31, 2015, the Company had two reportable operating segments: shopping centers and loan investments.  The Company’s chief operating decision maker may review operational and financial data on a property basis and does not differentiate properties on a geographical basis for purposes of allocating resources or capital.  The Company evaluates individual property performance primarily based on net operating income before depreciation, amortization and certain nonrecurring items.  Each consolidated shopping center is considered a separate operating segment; however, each shopping center on a stand-alone basis represents less than 10% of revenues, profit or loss, and assets of the combined reported operating segment and meets the majority of the aggregations criteria under the applicable standard.

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued ASU No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity, 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 were required to apply the standard in annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014, and interim periods within those annual periods.  The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2015, and there was no impact to net income in the current period financial statements.  Properties sold prior to January 1, 2015 are not subject to ASU No. 2014-08 and therefore continue to be classified as discontinued operations using the previous definition.  The adoption resulted in most individual property disposals not qualifying for discontinued operations presentation, and thus, the results of the properties that have been sold remain in Income from Continuing Operations and any associated gains or losses from the disposition are included in Gain on Disposition of Real Estate.  

Debt Issuance Costs

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs , and in August 2015 issued ASU No. 2015-15, Presentation and Subsequent Measurement of Debt Issuance Costs Associated with Line-of-Credit Arrangements .  Under ASU No. 2015-03, debt issuance costs reported on the consolidated balance sheet would be reflected as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset.  While ASU No. 2015-03 addresses costs related to term debt, ASU No. 2015-15 provides clarification regarding costs to secure revolving lines of credit, which are, at the outset, not associated with an outstanding borrowing.  ASU No. 2015-15 provides commentary that the SEC staff would not object to an entity deferring and

F-14


 

presenting costs associated with line-of-credit arrangements as an asset and subsequently amortizing them ratably over the term of the revolving deb t arrangement.  The new guidance is effective for public companies for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted.  Retrospective application to prior periods is required.  The Company adopted this standard as of December 31, 2015, which resulted in a reclassification of deferred loan costs, net at December 31, 2014, and a decrease in total net assets of $22.5 million related to term debt (Note 7).  The debt issuance costs related to the Company’s revolving credit facilities remain classified as an asset on the consolidated balance sheet.  This change was also applied to the selected financial data table in Item 6 of this Form 10-K.

New Accounting Standards To Be Adopted

Revenue Recognition

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers .  The objective of ASU No. 2014-09 is to establish a single comprehensive five-step model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers that will supersede most of the existing revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance.  The core principle of ASU No. 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 No. 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, 2017.  Early adoption is permitted for annual reporting periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016.  Entities have the option of using either a full retrospective or modified approach to adopt ASU No. 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.  

Business Combinations

In September 2015, the FASB issued guidance pertaining to entities that have reported provisional amounts for items in a business combination for which the accounting is incomplete by the end of the reporting period in which the combination occurs and during the measurement period have an adjustment to provisional amounts recognized.  The guidance requires that an acquirer recognize adjustments to provisional amounts that are identified during the measurement period in the reporting period in which the adjustment amounts are determined.  Any adjustments should be calculated as if the accounting had been completed at the acquisition date.  The guidance is effective for public companies for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted.  Application of the guidance is prospective.  The Company has not determined when it will adopt this guidance, nor what impact the adoption may have on its consolidated financial statement s.

Accounting for Leases

The FASB is currently working on amendments to existing accounting standards governing a number of areas including, but not limited to, accounting for leases. In May 2013, the FASB issued an Accounting Standards Update (Revised), Leases (Topic-842) (the “Exposure Draft”), which would replace the existing guidance in Accounting Standards Codification No. 840 Leases . Under the Exposure Draft, among other changes in practice, a lessee’s rights and obligations under most leases, including existing and new arrangements, would be recognized as assets and liabilities, respectively, on the balance sheet. Other significant provisions of the Exposure Draft include (i) defining the “lease term” to include the noncancellable period together with periods for which there is a significant economic incentive for the lessee to extend or not terminate the lease; (ii) defining the initial lease liability to be recorded on the balance sheet to contemplate only those variable lease payments that depend on an index or that are in substance “fixed”; and (iii) a dual approach for determining whether lease expense is recognized on a straight-line or accelerated basis, depending on whether the lessee is expected to consume more than an insignificant portion of the leased asset’s economic benefits. In November 2015, the FASB announced the final lease standard will be effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. As of the date of this report, the final standard has not yet been issued. This Exposure Dra ft could have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has ground lease agreements, in which it could be either a lessor or lessee, at many of its shopping centers. However, as the standard-setting process is still ongoing, the Company is unable to determine the impact this proposed change in accounting standards will have on its consolidated financial statements and as such the Company continues to assess the impact the adoption of this standard will have on its financial statements.

(A)

For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company’s proportionate share was $10.5 million, $4.4 million and $6.6 million, respectively.  Impairment charges included in discontinued operations related to asset sales were $11.1 million and $49.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, of which the Company’s proportionate share was $0.8 million and $4.0 million, 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.  

(B )

For the year ended December 31, 2013, the loss primarily was attributable to an investment in the Coventry II Fund (as defined below) 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.  

(C )

The Company did not record income or loss from those investments in which its investment basis was zero.  As of March 13, 2015, the Company no longer had an interest in the Coventry II Fund assets (see below).

( D )

The difference between the Company’s share of net income, as reported above, and the amounts included in the Company’s 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.  

Service fees and income earned by the Company through management, financing, leasing and development activities performed related to all of the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures are as follows (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 or to initiate a purchase or sale of the properties 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).  

Coventry II Fund

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”).  The Coventry II Fund was formed with several institutional investors and CREA as the investment manager.  The Company and the Coventry II Fund entered into various joint ventures to invest in a variety of retail properties that presented opportunities for value creation.  In March 2015, the Company, CREA and the Coventry II Fund finalized a settlement agreement in which the Company acquired Coventry II Fund’s 80% interest in Buena Park Place in Orange County, California (Note 3), and the Company transferred to Coventry II Fund its 20% ownership interest in the 21 remaining assets of the Coventry II Fund investments.  The Company accounted for this transaction as a step acquisition and, as a result, recorded a Gain on Change in Control of Interests of $14.3 million related to the difference between the carrying value of its equity investment and the fair value of the asset acquired.

Management Company Investment

In 2015, the Company sold its 50% membership interest in a property management company to its joint venture partner and recorded a loss on sale of $6.5 million, which is included in Gain on Sale and Change in Control of Interests, net in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations.  In addition, in the fourth quarter of 2015, the Company sold two shopping centers to its former joint venture partner aggregating a gross purchase price of $112.3 million, and the Company recorded a Gain on Sale of $59.8 million.

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

Discontinued Operations

In 2014 and 2013, the unconsolidated joint ventures sold 37 properties and 27 properties, respectively, which are reflected as discontinued operations in the condensed combined statements of operations.

Unsecured Credit Facility also provides for an annual facility fee, which was 20 basis points on the entire facility at December 31, 2015 .  The Unsecured Credit Facility also allows for foreign currency-denominated borrowings .

The Company also maintains a $50 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 was also amended in 2015 to reflect 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, 2015), as defined in the respective facility, or (ii) LIBOR, plus a specified spread (1.0% at December 31, 2015).  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 Company was in compliance with these financial covenants at December 31, 2015 and 2014.

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, 2015 and 2014, 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, 2015 and 2014.  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):

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 Company’s consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities.  

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 $441.5 million and $362.2 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, as compared to the carrying amounts of $437.6 million and $358.2 million, respectively.  

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.

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.  

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.  

F-26


 

As of December 31, 2015, the Company had one effective Swap with a notional amount of $78.5 million, e xpiring in September 2017, which converts LIBOR to a fixed rate of 2.8%.  The aggregate fair value of the Swap was a liability of $2.5 million, which is included in Other Liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  As of December 31, 2014, th e Company had nine Swaps with an aggregate notional amount of $530.0 million.  The aggregate fair value of the Swaps was a net liability of $4.3 million, which is included in Other Assets and Other Liabilities on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet.  

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 $2.5 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, as interest expense, in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.  During 2015, 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, 2015, 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.

Commitments and Contingencies

Legal Matters

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 $24.8 million as of December 31, 2015.

At December 31, 2015, the Company had letters of credit outstanding of $30.2 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 $4.7 million at December 31, 2015.  

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.

Non-Controlling Interests

The Company had 369,176 and 1,412,366 OP Units outstanding at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.  These OP Units, issued to different partnerships, are exchangeable at the election of the OP Unit holder and, under certain circumstances at the option of the Company, into an equivalent number of the Company’s common shares or for the equivalent amount of cash.  Most of these OP Units are subject to registration rights agreements covering shares equivalent to the number of OP Units held by the holder if the Company elects to settle in its common shares.  The OP Units are classified on the Company’s balance sheet as Non-Controlling Interests.

In 2014, the Company issued 1.0 million OP Units in conjunction with the purchase of an asset in Chicago, Illinois (Note 3).  In 2015, these OP Units were converted into an equivalent number of common shares of the Company.  This transaction was treated as a purchase of a non-controlling interest and a non-cash transaction.

(A)

In March 2015, the Company’s new senior management team initiated changes in the Company’s investment strategy.  Senior management took steps to accelerate the Company’s portfolio quality improvement initiative, which it intends to accomplish in part through the acceleration of disposition plans of lower quality assets that do not have strong long-term growth profiles.  As a result, in connection with the preparation of the Company’s Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2015, the Company concluded that certain assets were impaired.  The Company recorded impairment charges on 25 operating shopping centers that management identified as disposition candidates over the 12 to 24-month period following March 2015.  The impairment charges for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, 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.  

(B)

Amounts recorded primarily were related to land previously held for future development.  The asset impairments were triggered primarily by the decision made by the Company’s senior management to sell the land and no longer consider development alternatives.  

(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 decision to exit the Canadian market, as well as changes in the timing of the project and development assumptions.  

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 or not at stabilization, 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.

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 was deemed to be a related party in 2014 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 believed 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.

Benefit Plans

Stock-Based Compensation

The Company’s equity-based award plans provide for grants to Company employees and directors of incentive and non-qualified options to purchase common shares, rights to receive the appreciation in value of common shares, awards of common shares subject to restrictions on transfer, awards of common shares issuable in the future upon satisfaction of certain conditions and rights to purchase common shares and other awards based on common shares.  Under the terms of the plans, awards available for grant were 6.2 million common shares at December 31, 2015.  

Stock Options

Stock options may be granted at per-share prices not less than fair market value at the date of grant and must be exercised within the maximum contractual term of 10 years thereof.  Options granted under the plans generally vest over three years in one-third increments, beginning one year after the date of grant.  

F-32


 

The fair values for option awards granted in 2015, 2014 and 2013 were estimated at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model with the following weighted-aver age assumptions:

Restricted Stock Awards

The Board of Directors approved grants to executives of the Company of restricted common shares of 0.2 million in 2015 and 2013, and 0.3 million in 2014.  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 $19.54, 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, 2015.  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.  

2013 Value Sharing Equity Program

The Company adopted the 2013 Value Sharing Equity Program (“2013 VSEP”) and on January 1, 2013, granted to certain officers of the Company awards that represent the opportunity to earn restricted stock grants through December 31, 2015.  The 2013 VSEP awards earned resulted in the granting of common shares of the Company to participants on several measurement dates through December 31, 2015, and are subject to an additional 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 on December 31, 2019.  

The 2013 VSEP was 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 were granted two types of performance-based awards – an “absolute performance award” and a “relative performance award,” which were settled with DDR common shares.  

Absolute Performance Awards.   On December 31, 2015, the final measurement date, the Company measured the “Value Created” between the start of the 2013 VSEP through December 31, 2015.  Value Created was determined as the increase in DDR’s market capitalization, as adjusted for equity issuances and/or equity repurchases.  The share price used for purposes of determining Value Created for the absolute performance awards was 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”).  

F-34


 

T he total share of Value Created for al l participants for th e absolute performance awards was capped at $18.0 million (the aggregate percentage share for all participants for th e absolute performance awards was 1.4133%).  As a result, each participant’s total share of Value Created for th e abso lute performance awards was capped at an individual maximum limit. An aggregate of 0.5 million common shares was issued under the terms of the plan .   

Relative Performance Awards.   Under the relative performance awards, on December 31, 2015, DDR compared 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 were earned under the terms of the plan.

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:

Deferred Compensation Plans

The Company maintains a 401(k) defined contribution plan covering substantially all of the officers and employees of the Company in accordance with the provisions of the Code.  Also, for certain officers, the Company maintains the Elective Deferred Compensation Plan and DDR Corp. Equity Deferred Compensation Plan, both non-qualified plans, which permit the deferral of base salaries, commissions and annual performance-based cash bonuses or receipt of restricted shares.  In addition, directors of the Company are permitted to defer all or a portion of their fees pursuant to the Directors’ Deferred Compensation Plan, a non-qualified plan.  All of these plans were fully funded at December 31, 2015.

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

Potentially Dilutive Securities

 

·

Options to purchase 2.8 million, 3.0 million and 2.7 million common shares were outstanding at December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, 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.  These notes were repaid in 2015 (Note 7).  The senior convertible notes had a conversion price of $14.85 at December 31, 2014.

 

·

The exchange into common shares associated with OP Units was not included in the computation of diluted shares outstanding for all periods presented because the effect of assuming conversion was anti-dilutive (Note 10).  

F-36


 

 

·

Shares subject to issuance u nder the Company’s 2013  VSEP (Note 15) were not considered in the computation of diluted EPS for the years ended December  31, 2014 and 2013 , as the calculation was anti-dilutive.   The final measurement date for the 2013 VSEP was December 31, 2015, and acco rdingly not dilutive.  

 

·

The 39.1 million common shares that were subject to forward equity agreements entered into in May 2013 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.  The Company settled the forward equity agreements in September and October 2013.  The agreement was not in effect in 2015 or 2014.

 

17.

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, 2015, 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.  

The tax cost basis of assets was $10.6 billion at December 31, 2015 and 2014, and $10.4 billion at December 31, 2013.  For the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company recorded a net payment of $1.5 million, $1.6 million and $1.9 million, respectively, related to taxes. The net payment for the year ended December 31, 2015, does not include the 2015 Puerto Rico tax prepayment of $20.2 million.  These amounts reflect taxes paid to federal and state authorities for franchise and other taxes.  

In 2015, in accordance with temporary legislation of the Puerto Rico Internal Revenue Code, the Company made a voluntary election to prepay $20.2 million of taxes related to the built-in gains associated with the real estate assets in Puerto Rico and restructured the ownership of its 14 assets in Puerto Rico.  The net balance sheet impact to the financial statements related to the restructuring was $16.8 million which is reflected as a prepaid expense (Note 5).  The Company recorded a tax expense of $3.4 million related to the 2% effective tax rate spread between the 12% tax payment and the 10% withholding tax rate.  This election permitted the Company to step up its tax basis in the Puerto Rican assets to the current estimated fair value while reducing its effective capital gains tax rate from 29% to 12%.  In addition, effective January 1, 2015, the Company entered into a closing agreement with the Puerto Rico Secretary of Treasury that now treats the Company as a Puerto Rico REIT, eliminating the requirement to record current and deferred income taxes for 2015 and forward.  To the extent the Company qualifies as a REIT under the IRS guidelines, the Company will not be subject to income tax.  However, the distributions made to its shareholders will be subject to a 10% withholding tax, which is treated as additional dividend/equity and not an income tax on the Company’s financial statements.  

As a result of the Company’s closing agreement with the Puerto Rico Secretary of Treasury treating the Company as a REIT (as discussed above), the Company is no longer required to record current and deferred income taxes.  The following represents the combined activity of the Company’s TRS and its taxable activity in Puerto Rico (in thousands):

Subsequent Events

 

Asset Sales

From January 1, 2016 to February 24, 2016, the Company sold 16 operating assets, including 11 owned by one joint venture, and two non-operating assets for an aggregate sales price of $218.7 million at the Company’s share.

 

Award Plan

On February 9, 2016, the Company adopted the 2016 Value Sharing Equity Program (the “2016 VSEP”), with awards effective February 9, 2016.  The 2016 VSEP awards, if earned, may result in the granting of common shares of the Company and time-vested restricted stock units (“RSUs”) to participants on future measurement dates over three years, subject to an additional time-based vesting schedule.  As a result, in general, the total compensation available to participants under the 2016 VSEP, if any, will be fully earned only after approximately seven years (the three-year performance period and the final four-year time-based vesting period for RSUs).

F-40


 

The 2016 VSEP is designed to permit the Company to reward participants for helping the Company achieve certain financial performance by allowing them to share in value created ( i.e. the increase in t he Company’s market capitalization), as adjusted for equity issuances and/or equity repurchases, based upon increases in the Company’s adjusted market capitalization on certain measurement dates over the Company’s initial market capitalization using a star ting share price of $17.41 per share, over pre-established periods of time.  The ending share price used for purposes of determining the value created for the performance awards during any measurement period is capped at $25.35 per share.  Because the Comp any’s initial market capitalization is based upon a share price of $17.41 per share, there are no performance awards earned until the Company’s share price exceeds this price.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, if, within 2 years following a Change in Control that constitutes a change in the ownership or effective control of the Company or a change in the ownership of a substantial portion of the assets of the Company, within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code (a “ 409A Change in Control ”), and at a time when the Company has not yet issued to a Participant the Common Shares described in Section 8(a)(i) with respect to Performance Award Shares earned on or prior to the Change in Control Measurement Date, such Participant Retires, or such Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined below) or such Participant experiences an Absence on Leave Termination, such Common Shares described in Section 8(a)(i) will be issued to the Participant as soon as administratively practicable (but no later than 60 days) following the date of such Retirement or termination of employment.  For purposes of the 2016 VSEP, “ Good Reason ” means:  a material reduction in the nature or scope of the responsibilities, authorities or duties of the Participant attached to the Participant’s position held immediately prior to the Change in Control; a change of more than 50 miles in the location of the Participant’s principal office immediately prior to the Change in Control; or a material reduction in the Participant’s remuneration upon or after the Change in Control; provided , that no later than 90 days following an event constituting Good Reason the Participant gives notice to the Company or its successor following the Change in Control of the occurrence of such event and such entity fails to cure the event within 30 days following the receipt of such notice.

(b) Vesting of 2016 VSEP RSUs .

 

(i)

2016 VSEP RSUs will vest in equal installments on each of the first four anniversaries of the applicable Measurement Date (or, in the event of a Change in Control, the next Measurement Date that would have been applicable if the Change in Control had not occurred) (such four-year period, the “ 2016 VSEP RSU Vesting Period ”), subject, except as provided in Section 8(b)(ii) below, to the Participant’s continued employment with the Company through each such date.  Any 2016 VSEP RSUs that do not so vest will be forfeited, including, except as provided in

9


 

 

Section 8(b)(ii) below, if the Participant ceases to be continuously employed by the Company prior to the end of the 2016 VSEP RSU Vesting Period.  For purposes of this 2016 VSEP, “continuously employed” (or substantially similar terms) means the absence of any interruption or termination of the Participant’s employment with the Company.  Continuous employment shall not be considered interrupted or terminated in the case of transfers between locations of the Company or in the case of an absence on leave as described in the 2012 Equity Plan.

Notwithstanding Section 8(b)(i) above:

 

(A)

if, at a time when the 2016 VSEP RSUs have not been forfeited (to the extent the 2016 VSEP RSUs have not previously vested), a Participant shall die or become Disabled, a Participant shall Retire, or the Participant’s employment with the Company is terminated by the Company without Cause, then the 2016 VSEP RSUs shall continue to vest over the 2016 VSEP RSU Vesting Period as if such Participant had remained continuously employed by the Company through the end of the 2016 VSEP RSU Vesting Period; and

 

(B)

if, within 2 years following a 409A Change in Control, and at a time when the 2016 VSEP RSUs have not been forfeited (to the extent the 2016 VSEP RSUs have not previously vested), a Participant Retires, or a Participant’s employment is terminated by the Company without Cause or by the Participant for Good Reason (as defined below), or a Participant experiences an Absence on Leave Termination, such Participant’s 2016 VSEP RSUs will vest in full on the date of such Retirement or termination of employment or Absence on Leave Termination.  

(c) Settlement of 2016 VSEP RSUs .  Payment for the 2016 VSEP RSUs, if, after and to the extent they become vested, shall be made in the form of one Common Share for each such vested 2016 VSEP RSU.  Except as provided in Section 11 , payment shall be made as soon as administratively practicable following (but no later than sixty (60) days following) the date that the 2016 VSEP RSUs become vested pursuant to Section 8(b) hereof.

10


 

the applicable 2016 VSEP RSUs and the income tax withholding related to such FICA Tax.  The withholding made pursuant to this Section 8(d) shall first be made from the portion of the applicable 2016 VSEP RSUs that would be paid on the fourth anniversary of the applicable Measurement Date.  If the portion of the applicable 2016 VSEP RSUs that would be paid on the fourth anniversary of the applicable Measurement Date does not satisfy the withholding required by this Section 8(d) , then the remaining portion of such withholding will come from the portion of the applicable 2016 VSEP RSUs that would be paid on the immediately preceding anniversary date and each immediately preceding anniversary date thereafter until the total withholding under this Section 8(d) has been satisfied.  

(e) Limitation on Issuance .  Except to the extent provided by Section 409A of the Code and as permitted by the Company, no Common Shares or 2016 VSEP RSUs may be issued, as applicable, to the Participant with respect to a Performance Award at a time earlier than otherwise expressly provided in the 2016 VSEP.

(f) Satisfaction .  The Company’s obligations to any Participant with respect to his or her Performance Award will be satisfied in full upon the settlement of any earned Performance Award Shares corresponding to the Performance Award or otherwise upon the settlement of such Performance Award or any related 2016 VSEP RSUs pursuant to this Section 8 .

(g) Restrictive Covenants .  Notwithstanding anything herein to the contrary, if a Participant breaches any of the restrictive covenants set forth in such Participant’s Individual Agreement, such Participant shall immediately forfeit, as of the date of such breach, (i) any and all rights to earn Performance Award Shares with respect to any ongoing Measurement Period and any and all subsequent Measurement Periods under the 2016 VSEP, and (ii) any and all rights to receive payment of any 2016 VSEP RSUs that have not vested and been settled as of the date of such breach.

9. Shareholder Rights and Restrictions .

(a) No Participant shall have any rights as a shareholder of the Company (including, without limitation, the right to receive dividends or dividend equivalents or exercise voting rights) with respect to a Performance Award or any Performance Award Shares until (i) any earned Performance Award Shares are settled in Common Shares or (ii) the 2016 VSEP RSUs awarded with respect to such earned Performance Award Shares vest and are settled in accordance with Section 8 , as applicable.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, from and after the date on which any 2016 VSEP RSUs are issued until the earlier of (x) the time when the 2016 VSEP RSUs vest and are paid in accordance with Section 8 hereof or (y) the time when the Participant’s right to receive Common Shares in payment of the 2016 VSEP RSUs is forfeited in accordance with Section 8 hereof, on the date that the Company pays a cash dividend (if any) to holders of Common Shares generally, the Participant shall be paid cash for each 2016 VSEP RSU equal to the amount of such dividend per share.

11


 

(b) Performance Awards shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Notice of Award relating to such Performance Awards, and Performance Award Shares shall be subject to the terms and conditions set forth in any Evidences of Award or other documents prepared by the Company and relating to such Performance Award Shares.  

(c) The obligations of the Company under this 2016 VSEP will be merely that of an unfunded and unsecured promise of the Company to deliver Performance Award Shares in the future, and the rights of a Participant will be no greater than that of an unsecured general creditor.  No assets of the Company will be held or set aside as security for the obligations of the Company under this 2016 VSEP.

10. Transferability .  Except as otherwise determined by the Committee or as permitted under the 2012 Equity Plan, Performance Awards and any 2016 VSEP RSUs granted with respect thereto will not be assignable or transferable by any Participant; provided , however , that no provision in the 2016 VSEP will prevent the transfer of a Performance Award or any Performance Award Shares by will or the laws of descent and distribution in the event of the death of the Participant.

11. Section 409A of the Code .

(a) To the extent applicable, it is intended that this 2016 VSEP and any grants made hereunder comply with or will be exempt from the provisions of Section 409A of the Code, so that the income inclusion provisions of Section 409A(a)(1) of the Code do not apply to the Participants.  This 2016 VSEP and any grants made hereunder will be administered in a manner consistent with this intent.  Any reference in this 2016 VSEP to Section 409A of the Code will also include any regulations or any other formal guidance promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of the Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

(b) Neither a Participant nor any of a Participant’s creditors or beneficiaries will have the right to subject any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable under this 2016 VSEP and grants hereunder to any anticipation, alienation, sale, transfer, assignment, pledge, encumbrance, attachment or garnishment.  Except as permitted under Section 409A of the Code, any deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) payable to a Participant or for a Participant’s benefit under this 2016 VSEP and grants hereunder may not be reduced by, or offset against, any amount owing by a Participant to the Company or any of its Subsidiaries.  All references to a Participant’s termination of employment or similar terminology shall mean a “separation from service” (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code).

12


 

(c) If, at the time of a Participant’s separation from service (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code), (i) the Participant will be a specified employee (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code and using the identification methodology selected by the Company from time to time) and (ii) the Company makes a good faith determination that an amount payable hereunder constitutes deferred compensation (within the meaning of Section 409A of the Code) the payment of which is required to be delayed pursuant to the six-month delay rule set forth in Section 409A of the Code in order to avoid taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code, then the Company will not pay such amount on the otherwise scheduled payment date but will instead pay it, without interest, on the tenth business day of the seventh month after such separation from service.  

(d) Notwithstanding any provision of this 2016 VSEP and grants hereunder to the contrary, in light of the uncertainty with respect to the proper application of Section 409A of the Code, the Company reserves the right to make amendments to this 2016 VSEP and grants hereunder as the Company deems necessary or desirable to avoid the imposition of taxes or penalties under Section 409A of the Code.  In any case, a Participant will be solely responsible and liable for the satisfaction of all taxes and penalties that may be imposed on a Participant or for a Participant’s account in connection with this 2016 VSEP and grants hereunder (including any taxes and penalties under Section 409A of the Code), and neither the Company nor any of its affiliates will have any obligation to indemnify or otherwise hold a Participant harmless from any or all of such taxes or penalties.

12. Interpretation .  Any reference in the 2016 VSEP to Section 409A of the Code will also include any proposed, temporary or final regulations, or any other guidance, promulgated with respect to such Section by the U.S. Department of Treasury or the Internal Revenue Service.

13. No Employment Rights .  None of participation in the 2016 VSEP, the grant of any Performance Award and the payment of any Performance Award Shares will confer upon any Participant any right with respect to continuance of employment by the Company.

14. Severability .  In the event that one or more of the provisions of the 2016 VSEP shall be invalidated for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, any provision so invalidated shall be deemed to be separable from the other provisions hereof, and the remaining provisions hereof shall continue to be valid and fully enforceable.

13


 

15. Adjustments, Etc.   In the event of (a) any stock dividend, stock split, combination of shares, recapitalization or other change in the capital structure of the Company, (b) any merger, consolidation, spin-off, split-off, spin-out, split-up, reorganization, partial or complete liquidation or other distribution of assets, issuance of rights or warrants to purchase securities, or (c) any other corporate transaction or event having an effect similar to any of the foregoing, the Committee shall make such substitutions or adjustments, if any, as are deemed necessary or equitable in its sole discretion to preserve the intent of this 2016 VSEP and to avoid any unintended windfalls or hardships with respect to the number, valuation and/or terms and conditions of Performance Awards, Performance Award Shares or 2016 VSEP RSUs.  Moreover, in the event of any such transaction or event or in the event of a Change in Control, the Committee (in the event of a Change in Control, as constituted immediately prior to such Change in Control), in its discretion, shall provide in substitution for any or all outstanding Performance Awards, Performance Award Shares or 2016 VSEP RSUs such alternative consideration (including cash), if any, as it, in good faith, may reasonably determine to be equitable in the circumstances and may require in connection therewith the surrender of all awards so replaced in a manner that complies with Section 409A of the Code.  In the event the Committee determines that any Performance Awards, Performance Award Shares, or 2016 VSEP RSUs will be substituted with cash alternative consideration in accordance with this Section 15 , each portion of such cash payment will include interest at the long-term “applicable federal rate” under Section 1274(d)(1) of the Code in effect on the date of payment for the period from the date of such transaction or Change in Control until the date of payment.  

16. Withholding Taxes .  To the extent that the Company is required to withhold federal, state, local or foreign taxes in connection with any payment made or benefit realized by a Participant or other person under the 2016 VSEP, and the amounts available to the Company for such withholding are insufficient, it will be a condition to the receipt of such payment or the realization of such benefit that the Participant or such other person make arrangements satisfactory to the Company for payment of the balance of such taxes required to be withheld, which arrangements (in the discretion of the Committee) may include relinquishment of a portion of such benefit.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, when a Participant is required to pay the Company an amount required to be withheld under applicable income and employment tax laws, the Participant may elect, unless otherwise determined by the Committee, to satisfy the obligation, in whole or in part, by electing to have withheld, from the Common Shares required to be issued or delivered to the Participant or otherwise vesting, Common Shares having a value equal to the amount required to be withheld, or by delivering to the Company other Common Shares held by such Participant.  The Common Shares used for tax withholding will be valued at an amount equal to the fair market value of such Common Shares on the date the applicable amount is to be included in the Participant’s income.  In no event will the fair market value of the Common Shares to be withheld or delivered pursuant to this Section 16 to satisfy applicable withholding taxes exceed the minimum amount of taxes required to be withheld.

17. Inability to Issue Common Shares Under 2012 Equity Plan .  Notwithstanding the other provisions of this 2016 VSEP, only if and to the extent any Participant’s earned Performance Award Shares are unable to be issued under the 2012 Equity Plan, the Committee may then take such other steps as it deems necessary or advisable to settle the Performance Awards in any other manner, form or currency.

14


 

18. Governing Law .  The laws of the State of Ohio will govern this 2016 VSEP and all matters related hereto.  If any Participant or the Company institutes a suit or other legal proceedings, whether in law or equity with respect to this 2016 VSEP, the Company and such Participant irrevocably consents to the jurisdiction of the Common Pleas Court of the State of Ohio (Cuyahoga County) or the United States District Court for the Northern District of Ohio.  

19. Amendments, Etc.   The Committee may amend the terms of any Performance Award under the 2016 VSEP prospectively or retroactively, but subject to Section 11 and 15 hereof, no such amendment shall impair the rights of any Participant without his or her consent; provided , however , that, the Company may unilaterally terminate the 2016 VSEP pursuant to Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B) in connection with a 409A Change in Control so long as under the terms of such termination all Participants are required to receive payment for their earned Performance Award Shares and 2016 VSEP RSUs within 12 months of the date the Company takes necessary action to terminate the 2016 VSEP or otherwise in accordance with Treasury Regulation Section 1.409A-3(j)(4)(ix)(B).  The 2016 VSEP, the 2012 Equity Plan and the Notices of Award (and any applicable Evidences of Award) contain the entire agreement between the Company and the Participants relating to the 2016 VSEP.  Notwithstanding anything in this 2016 VSEP to the contrary, however, this 2016 VSEP and any Performance Awards, Performance Award Shares or 2016 VSEP RSUs described herein are subject to the terms and conditions of the Compensation Recovery Policy, and that applicable sections of this 2016 VSEP and any related documents shall be deemed superseded by and subject to the terms and conditions of the Compensation Recovery Policy in effect at any time after the effective date thereof.

Independent Auditor’s Report

 

 

To the Management of DDRM Properties LLC

 

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of DDRM Properties LLC and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, of members’ capital and of cash flows for the year then ended December 31, 2013.  

 

Management's Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements

 

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America; this includes the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

 

Auditor's Responsibility

 

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements based on our audit.  We conducted our audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the United States of America.  Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free from material misstatement.  

 

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements.  The procedures selected depend on our judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error.  In making those risk assessments, we consider internal control relevant to the Company's preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.  Accordingly, we express no such opinion.  An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.  We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

 

Opinion

 

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the results of operations and cash flows of DDRM Properties LLC and its subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2013 in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

 

Other Matter

 

The accompanying consolidated balance sheets of DDRM Properties LLC and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss, of members’ capital and of cash flows for the years then ended are presented for purposes of complying with Rule 3-09 of SEC Regulation S-X, however, Rule 3-09 does not require the 2015 and 2014 financial statements to be audited and are therefore not covered by this report.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013

(Information for the Years Ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 not Covered by Auditor’s Report)

 

1.   Organization of Company

 

Background

 

DDRM Properties LLC (the “Company”) was formed in the state of Delaware on February 27, 2007 to acquire, own, and operate shopping centers (the “Properties”) located throughout the United States.  The Company first acquired the Properties on June 8, 2007.

 

The Company’s Members are DDR Corp. (“DDR”) and DDR Manatee Master REIT, Inc. (the “Master REIT”).  The Master REIT is the Managing Member of the Company.  DDR and the Master REIT have a 20% and 80% membership interest, respectively, and are collectively referred to as the “Members” and each, individually, a “Member.”  

 

The Master REIT is responsible for the day-to-day management of the Company as the Managing Member.  The Company has engaged DDR Property Management LLC (“DDRPM”), a wholly- owned subsidiary of DDR, to act as the Property Manager.  Effective July 1, 2015, the asset management fee that was attributable to DDRPM was assigned to DDR.  

 

Nature of Business

 

The Company is engaged in the business of owning and operating shopping centers.  The tenant base includes primarily national retail chains and local retailers.  Consequently, the Company’s credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry.  Adverse changes in general or local economic conditions could result in the inability of some tenants of the Company to meet their lease obligations and could adversely affect the Company’s ability to attract and retain tenants.

 

Revenues derived from the Company’s largest tenant Publix aggregated 12.2%, 11.8% and 14.2% of total revenues for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  

 

The Properties

 

The Company owned 55 properties located in ten states as of December 31, 2015 and 56 and 59 properties located in eleven states as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are each owned by a wholly-owned single member limited liability company.  The total gross leasable area of the Properties is 7.6 million square feet (unaudited), 7.9 million square feet (unaudited), and 8.2 million square feet (unaudited) as of December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2015, the Company sold one property and received net proceeds of $29.6 million.  A portion of the net proceeds was utilized to pay down $20.6 million of outstanding debt.

During the year ended December 31, 2014, the Company sold three properties and received net proceeds of $ 43 . 3 million .   A portion of the n et proceeds w as utilized to pay down $7 .5 million of outstanding debt. The Company took title of a building valued at $1 .4 million , through an assignment and assumption of a ground lease during the year ended December 31, 2014.

 

During the year ended December 31, 2013, the Company received net proceeds of $0.3 million for a land condemnation of approximately 0.17 acres of land (unaudited) adjacent to a shopping center.  The net proceeds were utilized to pay down outstanding debt.  

 

Significant Membership Terms

 

The Company’s profits and losses are allocated to the Members in proportion to their respective percentage interests.

 

The Company’s cash flows are distributed to the Members on a quarterly basis in proportion to their respective percentage interests.    

 

The term of the Company shall continue in perpetuity until one of the following events occurs:  i) an election to dissolve the Company made by the Members; ii) the sale or disposition of all or substantially all of the Properties and other assets of the Company; iii) entry of a decree of judicial dissolution of the Company pursuant to the provisions of the Act; iv) the liquidation and dissolution of the parent entity of the Master REIT; or v) any other circumstance requiring the liquidation of the Company pursuant to any provision of the Agreement or any other Fund Governing Document.

 

Upon a liquidating event by the parent entity of the Master REIT, DDR can elect to purchase one or more of the Properties at the time of liquidation.  If DDR elects not to purchase a property, the Limited Partners of the parent entity of the Master REIT can elect to participate in an in-kind distribution process.

 

2.   Summary of Significant Accounting Principles

Depreciation expense on buildings and tenant improvements for the year ended December 31, 2015 was $39.3 million, which includes $3.3 million related to the write-off of unamortized basis associated with the demolition of a building for redevelopment and the early termination of tenant leases.  Depreciation expense on buildings and tenant improvements for the year ended December 31, 2014 was $36.4 million, which includes $0.7 million related to the write-off of unamortized basis associated with the early termination of tenant leases.  Depreciation expense on buildings and tenant improvements for the year ended December 31, 2013 was $36.8 million, which includes $0.4 million related to the write-off of unamortized basis associated with the early termination of tenant leases.  

 

Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are charged to operations as incurred.  Significant expenditures, which improve or extend the life of the asset, are capitalized.   

 

The Company reviews its real estate assets for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value may not be recoverable.  An asset is considered impaired when the undiscounted future cash flows are not sufficient to recover the asset's carrying value.  The determination of undiscounted cash flows requires significant estimates made by management and is based on the most likely expected course of action at the balance sheet date based on current plans, intended hold periods and available market information.  The determination of anticipated cash flows is inherently subjective and is based, in part, on assumptions regarding holding periods, future occupancy, rental rates and capital requirements that could differ materially from actual results.  If such impairment is present, an

impairment loss is recognized based on the excess of the carrying amount of the asset over its fair value.  See Note 9 for a discussion related to impairment charges recorded .

 

Cash and Cash Equivalents

 

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less at acquisition 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 the institution and believes that the risk of loss is minimal.

 

Restricted Cash

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

 

Deferred Financing Costs

 

Costs incurred in obtaining the Company's mortgages payable are capitalized and amortized into interest expense over the term of the mortgage on a straight-line basis, which approximates the effective yield method. The net cost is reflected, in accordance with Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-03 (“ASU 2015-03”), as a reduction of mortgages payable in the consolidated balance sheets (see “New Accounting Standards Adopted”).   Amortization expense was $1.4 million for each of the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.  

 

Deferred Lease Costs

 

Deferred lease costs represent direct costs paid to enter into tenant leases and are amortized over the related lease term.  Amortization expense was $3.0 million, $2.9 million and $2.6 million, which includes $0.4 million, $0.9 million and $0.5 million related to the write-off of unamortized costs associated with the early termination of tenant leases for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Intangible Assets and Liabilities

 

Intangible assets and liabilities (in the case of below-market leases) generally consist of in-place leases, tenant relationships, above-market leases, and below-market leases, which were recorded at the time of acquisition of certain properties. 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 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. The value of in-place leases and tenant relationships are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the weighted - average remaining initial term of the lease (and expected renewal periods for tenant relationships); however, no amortization period for the intangible assets will exceed the remaining depreciable life of the building. Above - and or below-market leases are amortized over the remaining life of the respective leases (plus fixed-rate renewal periods for below -market leases) as a n adjustment to base rental revenue.

In the event that a tenant terminates its lease, the unamortized portion of the intangible values is written off as an adjustment to revenue or expense, as appropriate.  During the year ended December 31, 2014, the unamortized portion of a below-market lease in the amount of $4.2 million was written off as an adjustment to revenue as the tenant did not exercise its option upon expiration of the original lease term.

Revenue Recognition

 

Minimum rents from tenants are recognized using the straight-line method over the lease term.  Percentage and overage rents are recognized after the reported tenant’s sales have exceeded the applicable sales breakpoint.  Revenues associated with tenant reimbursements are recognized in the period in which the expenses are incurred based upon provisions of the individual tenant leases.  Lease termination fees are generally recognized upon termination of a tenant’s lease and vacating the space with no further rights.

 

Income Taxes

 

The Company has elected to be treated as a partnership for federal income tax purposes.  Accordingly, no provision has been made in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for any federal income taxes since each item of income, gain, loss, deduction or credit is reportable by the Members in their respective income tax returns.  The statues of limitations for income tax returns remain open for the years 2012 through 2015.

 

Interest

 

Interest paid aggregated $51.1 million, $51.8 million and $52.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

 

Disposition of Real Estate

 

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 properties 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.

 

Prior to the newly-adopted guidance for reporting discontinued operations on January 1, 2015 (see “New Accounting Standards Adopted”), 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 were considered discontinued operations. Interest expense that was specifically identifiable to the property was included in the computation of interest expense attributable to discontinued operations.

 

Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements

 

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires the Company 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 period.  Actual results could differ from those estimates.

 

New Accounting Standards Adopted

 

D i s c o n ti nu ed O p e r a ti on s

 

In Apr i l 2 0 14, t he Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) i s s ued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity (“ASU 2014-08”) a f i nal st anda r d t hat c h anged t he c r i t e r i a for de t erm i n i ng wh i ch di s p o s a l s are pre s en t ed as d i s co n t in ued o p era ti on s .

The Company was required to apply the standard for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2014.  The Company adopted the standard effective January 1, 2015.  The adoption of this guidance is expected to substantially reduce the number of property disposals qualifying for discontinued operations as compared to historical results.  For the year ended December 31, 2015, one property disposal did not qualify for discontinued operations.  Properties sold prior to January 1, 2015, are not subject to ASU 2014-08 and therefore continue to be classified as discontinued operations using the previous definition.  

 

D ebt Issuance Costs

 

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs (“ASU 2015-03”).  Under ASU 2015-03, debt issuance costs reported on the consolidated balance sheets would be reflected as a direct deduction from the related debt liability rather than as an asset.  The new guidance is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015, with early adoption permitted.  Retrospective application to prior periods is required.  The Company adopted this standard as of December 31, 2015, which resulted in a reclassification of deferred loan costs, net at December 31, 2014, and a decrease in total net assets of $3.0 million (see Note 4).

DDR and DDRPM have the ability to earn leasing commissions for the rental of space to tenants in accordance with the management and leasing agreement.   Lease commissions are calculated based on whether the lease is a new lease or renewal of an existing lease, the rental income earned over the life of the lease or the square footage the tenant will occupy under the lease.  Lease commissions incurred by the Company aggregated $2.5 million, $3.2 million and $3.9 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are recorded within deferred lease costs, net of accumulated amortization on the consolidated balance sheets.

 

DDR and DDRPM have the ability to earn construction management fees which are determined in accordance with the management and leasing agreement.  Except for the redevelopment or expansion of a property, construction management fees are calculated based on 5% of the cost of tenant improvements and other capital improvements, plus reimbursement of out of pocket costs and third party expenses.  The construction management fee for a redevelopment or an expansion is determined by the Company and DDR and DDRPM in connection with the approval of development expenditures.  The construction management fee is payable as costs for the work conducted are due and is subject to adjustment once the final costs for the work are determined.  The Company records the construction management fees to buildings and tenant improvements, as appropriate.  The capitalized cost is depreciated over the estimated useful life of the related asset.  Construction management fees incurred by the Company aggregated $0.7 million, $0.5 million and $0.4 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  

 

DDR performs legal services on behalf of the Company.  Legal fees incurred by the Company and paid to DDR aggregated $0.5 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are recorded within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.  

 

DDR employees perform certain tax preparation services on behalf of the Company.  Tax preparation fees incurred by the Company aggregated $13,776, $13,440 and $13,037 for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively, which are recorded within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.  

 

The Company pays ancillary fees to DDR and DDRPM equal to 25% of all funds received from ancillary income sources, as defined in the management and leasing agreement. Ancillary income fees incurred by the Company aggregated $0.2 million, $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively.  These fees were recorded within general and administrative expenses on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive loss.

 

In accordance with the management agreement, DDR arranges for insurance coverage from insurers authorized to do business in the United States, which provide liability, property and flood coverage.  In 2015, 2014 and 2013, the Company remitted to DDR insurance premiums

associated with these insurance policies.   Insurance premiums billed to the Company aggregated $ 4.1 million , $ 4.9 million and $ 5.2 million for the years ended December 31, 201 5 , 201 4 and 201 3 , respectively.

 

Related Party Payables

 

As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company had related party payables of $1.3 million and $1.9 million, respectively.  The amounts are included within accounts payable and other accrued liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and represents amounts owed to DDR and DDRPM for the services and fees discussed above incurred pursuant to the property management and other service agreements.  

 

6.  Commitments and Contingencies

 

Shopping center space is leased to tenants pursuant to agreements which provide for terms ranging from one to thirty years; and, in some cases, for annual rentals, which are subject to upward adjustments based on operating expense levels, sales volume, or contractual increases, as defined in the lease agreements.

 

The scheduled future minimum rents from rental property under the terms of all non-cancelable tenant leases, assuming no new or renegotiated leases or option extensions for such premises, for the subsequent five fiscal years ending December 31, are as follows:

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.

7.   Derivative Instruments

Cash Flow Hedges

 

During 2007, the Company entered into treasury locks with a notional amount of $600 million.  The treasury locks were executed to hedge the benchmark interest rate associated with forecasted interest payments related to the then anticipated issuance of the mortgage notes payable. The treasury locks were terminated in connection with the issuance of $885 million in mortgage notes payable at the time the properties were acquired (Note 4).  The effective portion of these hedging relationships has been deferred in accumulated other comprehensive income and is being reclassified into earnings over the term of the debt as an adjustment to interest expense. The Company expects that within the next 12 months it will reflect as an increase to earnings approximately $0.5 million of the amount recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income.

 

The Company did not have any derivative financial instruments outstanding as of or during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013.

 

8.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

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

 

Cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable:

 

The carrying amounts reported in the consolidated balance sheets for these financial instruments approximated fair value because of their short-term maturities.  

 

Debt:

 

Using a discounted cash flow technique that incorporates a market interest yield curve with adjustments for duration, optionality and risk profile, the Company has determined the fair value of its debt to be $917.5 million and $987.1 million at December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

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.  

 

9.

Impairment Charges

 

Pursuant to the provisions of the standard ASC No. 360, Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets, related to assets being held and used, the Company recorded impairment charges related to ten, one and four properties aggregating $52.3 million, $17.7 million and $25.3 million during the years ended December 31, 2015, 2014 and 2013,

respectively .    The 2015 impairments were triggered primarily due to a change in the Company’s business plans for these assets and the resulting impact on its holding period assumptions.   The 2014 and 2013 impairments 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.   Three properties were sold in 201 4 and as a result the impairment charges were classified within discontinued operations (Note 10) for the year s ended December 31, 201 4 and 201 3 , respectively .

 

Measurement of Fair Value

 

The Company is required to assess the fair value of impaired real estate assets. The valuation of impaired real estate assets is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows, 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. Although, the Company may consider multiple valuation techniques when measuring the fair value, in certain circumstances, a single valuation technique may be appropriate.

 

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.

 

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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Shareholders, Directors and Management of

Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL

São Paulo - SP - Brazil

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements.

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statements

The Company’s management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards - IFRS, as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board - IASB; this includes the design, implementation and maintenance of internal control relevant to the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibility

Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the United States of America - U.S. GAAS. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. The procedures selected depend on the auditor’s judgment, including the assessment of the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, the auditor considers internal control relevant to the Company’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control. Accordingly, we express no such opinion. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of significant accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.

2.2.

Basis of preparation

The financial statements have been prepared based on the historical cost and adjusted to reflect the fair values of the investment properties and certain financial instruments against net income for the year. The historical cost is generally based on the fair value of the consideration paid in exchange for assets.

The main accounting policies adopted in preparing these financial statements are summarized below. These practices are consistent with those adopted in the prior year reporting period.

The following is a summary of the significant accounting policies adopted by the group:

 

2.3.

Investments in associate

The investments are registered under the equity method.

Associates are entities that the Company is in a position to exercise significant influence. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but not have control or joint control over those policies (see note 8).

 

2.4.

The main accounting policies applied include the financial statements of the Company and of its subsidiaries. Intercompany balances and the Company’s investments in subsidiaries have been eliminated in consolidation. Non-controlling interests are stated separately.

Control is achieved when the Company:

 

·

Has power over the investee.

 

·

Is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee.

 

·

Has the ability to use its power to affect its returns.

The Company reassesses whether or not it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control listed above.

14


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

 

2.6.

Functional currency of the financial statements  

The items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (“functional currency”). The Company and its subsidiaries’ functional and presentation currency is the Brazilian reais (R$).

 

2.7.

Foreign currency

In preparing the financial statements of the individual entities, transactions in foreign currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

 

2.8.

Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents are represented by available bank accounts. Short-term investments may be redeemed within 90 days and are comprised of highly-liquid securities convertible into cash, which presents an immaterial risk of change in fair value. Short-term investment balances are carried at cost plus income earned through the end of each reporting period.

 

2.9.

Restricted investments

As of April 27, 2014 (unaudited) and as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the indirect subsidiary, Sierra Investimentos had investments in Financial Treasury Bills (LFTs) linked to commitments assumed with Banco Ourinvest S.A., as described in note 30. Investment balances were carried at cost plus income earned through the end of each reporting period.

 

2.10.

Financial instruments

 

2.10.1.

Recognition and measurement

Transactions with financial instruments are initially recognized at transaction value.

Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the financial assets and financial liabilities.

 

2.10.2.

Classification

The Company and its subsidiaries’ financial instruments have been classified into the following categories:

 

·

Measured at fair value through profit or loss: financial assets and financial liabilities held for trading, i.e., acquired or originated primarily for the purpose of sale or repurchase in the short term. Changes in fair value are accounted for in profit or loss, and balances are stated at fair value.

15


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

 

·

Loans and receivables: non-derivative financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an active market. The loans and receivables are classified as current assets, except for maturities greater than 12 months after the end of the reporting period, which are classified as noncurrent assets. The Company’s loans and receivables include loans to associates and subsidiaries and trade and other receivables.  

 

2.11.

Derivatives

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the trade date and subsequently re-measured at fair value at the end of the reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately, unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument; in which the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedge relationship.

 

2.12.

Hedge accounting

The Company designates certain hedging instruments as fair value hedges.

At the beginning of the hedging relationship, the Company documents the relationship between the hedging instrument and the hedged item with its risk management objectives and strategy to enter into different hedging transactions. Additionally, the Company documents at the inception of a hedge, and continuously, if the hedging instrument used in a hedging relationship is highly effective in offsetting the exposure to changes in the hedged item’s fair values or cash flows attributable to the hedged risk.

Fair value hedges

Changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualified as fair value hedges are recorded in profit or loss together with any changes in the fair values of the hedged item, attributable to the hedged risk. Changes in the fair value of these instruments, as well as of the hedged item, are recognized in “Finance income (costs)”.

Hedge accounting is discontinued prospectively when the Company cancels the hedging relationship, when the hedging instrument expires, is sold, terminated, or exercised, or when it no longer qualifies for hedge accounting. The adjustment to the fair value of the hedged item is accounted for in profit or loss, as of the adjustment date.

 

2.13.

Impairment of financial assets

Financial assets, except those designated at fair value through profit or loss, are valued using impairment indicators at the end of each annual reporting period. Impairment losses are recognized if, and only if, there is objective evidence of impairment as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset, with an impact on the estimated future cash flows.

The criteria used by the Company and its subsidiaries to determine if there is objective evidence that a financial asset is impaired includes:

 

Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor

 

A breach of contract, such as default or delinquency in interest or principal payments

16


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

 

It is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization  

 

The disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because of financial difficulties

The carrying amount of the financial asset is directly reduced by any impairment loss for all financial assets, except for receivables, in which case the carrying amount is reduced through use of an allowance account. Subsequent recoveries of previously written-off amounts are added to the allowance. Changes in the carrying amount of the allowance account are recognized in profit or loss.

 

2.14.

Trade accounts receivable

Rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis, according to contractual terms.

An allowance for doubtful accounts is recorded in an amount considered sufficient by management to cover probable losses on the realization of trade accounts receivable (100% of amounts over 120 days past due).

Past-due and renegotiated amounts are recorded at the renegotiation amounts, including principal plus financial charges, to be collected according to the new receiving period. Concurrently, an additional allowance is recorded on financial charges incurred and included in renegotiations. The allowance is registered until the payment of the renegotiated balance.

 

2.15.

Property and equipment

Property and equipment is carried at cost of purchase, less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis at the rates mentioned in note 9, based on the estimated useful lives of the assets.

The residual values and the useful lives of the assets are annually reviewed and adjusted, when appropriate.

The carrying amount of property and equipment is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use. The gain or loss arising on the recognition of property and equipment corresponds to the difference between the amounts received and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

Investment property

Investment properties are represented by land and buildings in shopping malls held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation, as disclosed in note 10.

Investment properties are measured initially at their cost, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. The gain or loss from the change in fair value of investment properties in operation is recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it arises. Valuations were made by independent external appraisers using the cash flow model discounted at market rates. Semiannually reviews are conducted to value any changes in the recognized balances.

17


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

Investment property under construction is recognized at cost of construction until it is placed into service or when the Company is able to measure, reliably, the fair value of the asset.

The fair value of an investment property does not reflect future capital expenditure that will improve or enhance the property and does not reflect the related future benefits from this future expenditure.

 

 

2.17.

Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment losses. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each annual reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate being accounted for on a prospective basis.

 

2.18.

Impairment of tangible and intangible assets excluding goodwill

Items in property and equipment, intangible assets and other noncurrent assets are evaluated annually to identify evidence of unrecoverable losses or whenever significant events or material changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value is not recoverable. In the event of a loss resulting from situations where the carrying amount of an asset exceeds its recoverable value, which is defined as the value in use of the asset, using the discounted cash flow method, an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

 

2.19.

Loans, financing and debentures

Loans, financing and debentures are initially recognized at fair value, less transaction costs incurred, and subsequently stated at amortized cost. Any difference between the amounts raised (less transaction costs) and the settlement amount is recognized in the statement of income during the period the borrowings remain outstanding, using the effective interest rate method.

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets, that take substantial period to get ready for their intended use or sale, are capitalized as part of the cost of such assets through the date they are ready for their intended use or sale. Other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which they are incurred.

Part of the transactions carried out using debentures issued by the Company, subject to fair value hedge, are stated at fair value. Gains and losses are recognized through profit or loss.

 

2.20.

Provisions

Provisions are recognized when there is a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, when a reliable estimate can be made of the amount of the obligation and its settlement is probable.

The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.

18


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

 

As of December 31, 2013 and 2012, the main provisions recognized by the Company and subsidiaries are as follows:

 

2.20.1

Reserve for civil, tax, labor and social security risks

Reserves recorded for lawsuits assessed by the legal counsel and management of the Company and its subsidiaries as probable losses, considering the nature of the lawsuits, the legal counsel and management’s experience in similar cases. Reserves have been recognized for matters classified as legal obligations, regardless of the expected outcome of lawsuits.

 

2.20.2

Accrual for variable compensation

Accrual for variable compensation is recognized to cover the amounts of performance bonuses granted to some Company officers, which will only be paid three years after such bonuses are granted, provided the officers are still employees of the Company or its subsidiaries. These bonuses are adjusted through the payment date, based on the annual fluctuation of the Company’s market value, and are recognized on a straight-line basis in the income of period during the three-year period (from grant date to payment year) at the gross amount granted to these officers. A possible subsequent adjustment arising from changes in market value is recorded in the income of the period, when incurred.

 

2.21.

Revenue recognition

Revenue, costs and expenses are recognized on the accrual basis. Revenue from rentals is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of rental agreements, pursuant to IAS 17 (Leases revenues, taking into account the contractual adjustment and the collection of the 13 th monthly rental and revenue from services, are recognized when services are provided). Revenues from assignment of rights to tenants are allocated to income over the term of the first rental agreement.

Our revenue derives mainly from the following activities:

 

a)

Rental

Rental revenue refers to the rental of store space to tenants and other commercial space, such as sales stands, including rentals of commercial space for advertising and promotion. Rentals to shopping mall tenants account for the highest percentage of Company and its subsidiaries’ revenue.

 

b)

Parking

Parking revenue refers to revenue from the operation of parking lots.

 

c)

Services

Service revenue refers to the provision of asset and property management services to shopping mall tenants and owners and brokerage services.

19


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

The Company receives management fees from tenants for the management of the shopping mall common areas.

Brokerage services include the sale of vacant spaces and the identification and development of relationships with prospect tenants, such as store chains to minimize a shopping mall vacancy rate. Management fees are calculated as a percentage of the rent charged from a potential lessee.

 

d)

Property space (key money) lease fee

Key money refers to the lease fees payable by new tenants as consideration for the advantages and benefits received by the tenants from their right to use the infrastructure offered by the shopping malls when new projects are launched, existing projects are expanded or the store rental is discontinued.

The amount payable by new tenants is negotiated based on the market value of the rented space. Usually the new tenants pay a higher fee for stores with greater visibility and exposure in the busiest areas of the shopping mall.

 

e)

Lessee transfer fees

Revenue generated by the fees paid when the rental is transferred from a lessee to another, generally calculated as a percentage of the amount involved in the transfer.

 

2.22.

Income tax and social contribution

The operations related to the development, management and investment of shopping malls are located only in Brazil.

 

a)

Subsidiary Sonae Sierra Brasil S.A. and its subsidiaries located in Brazil

Income tax is calculated at the rate of 15% plus a 10% surtax on annual taxable income exceeding R$240. Social contribution is calculated at the rate of 9% on annual taxable income. Deferred income tax and social contribution result from temporary differences in the recognition of income and expenses (for tax and financial reporting purposes), as well as tax loss carryforwards, when the utilization against future taxable income is probable.

As permitted by tax legislation, certain consolidated subsidiaries opted for taxation based on deemed income. Tax basis of income tax and social contribution are calculated at the rate of 32% on gross revenues from services and 100% of financial income, of which regular tax rates of 15% plus a 10% surtax for income tax and 9% for social contribution are applied. As a result, these consolidated companies did not record deferred income tax and social contribution on tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences and are not subject to the noncumulative regime for taxes on revenue (Social Integration Program Tax on Revenue (PIS) and Social Security Funding Tax on Revenue (COFINS)).

Shareholders of Fundos de Investimento Imobiliário I and II are subject to tax on income from the fund.

 

20


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

In the specific case of the adjustment to fair value of investment property, regardless of the taxation regime elected by the subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax liabilities were recognized at the rate of 34% on such adjustments (except for the property under Fundos de Investimento Imobiliário I and II, which is tax exempt) , based on the assumption that these properties can be sold and a capital gain can be determined.

 

b)

Company

Current taxes

The tax currently payable is based on taxable profit for the year. Taxable profit differs from profit as reported in the consolidated statement of income because of income or expense items that are taxable or deductible in other years and items that are never taxable or deductible. The Company’s liability for current tax is calculated using a tax rate of 15% that has been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period.

Deferred taxes

For the adjustment to fair value of investment property related to Fundos de Investimento Imobiliário I and II, regardless of the taxation regime elected by the subsidiaries and associates, deferred tax liabilities were recognized at the rate of 15% on such adjustments, based on the assumption that these properties can be sold and a capital gain can be determined.

 

2.23.

Earnings per share

Basic and diluted earnings per share are calculated using net income for the year attributable to the owners of the Company and the weighted average number of shares outstanding in the year.

The Company has no debt convertible into shares, stock options granted or any other potentially dilutive instrument; therefore, diluted earnings per share is equal to basic earnings per share for the periods shown.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND MAIN ESTIMATES  

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered to be relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimate is revised.

The following are the main judgments and accounting estimates that the Company and its subsidiaries’ management understands as relevant for the preparation of the individual and consolidated financial statements:

 

a)

Investment property value: the fair value of investment property is determined by valuing the future cash flows of each property at present value, as determined by independent valuers. The Company and its subsidiaries’ management uses its judgment to choose the method and define assumptions, which are mainly based on market conditions existing at the end of the reporting period.

 

b)

Reserve for civil, tax, labor and social security risks: the reserve for risks is recognized for lawsuits assessed by the legal counsel and management of the Company and its subsidiaries as probable losses, considering the nature of the lawsuits, and the legal counsel and management’s experience in similar cases. Reserves have been recognized for matters classified as legal obligations, regardless of the expected final outcome of lawsuits.

 

c)

Projections prepared for the realization of deferred income tax and social contribution balances: based on analyses of the multi-year operating projections, the Company recognized tax credits related to prior year tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences.

Maintenance of tax credits from tax loss carryforwards, deferred income tax and social contribution tax loss carryforwards is supported by future earnings projections prepared by the Company’s management and periodically reviewed, for the next ten years, to determine the recoverability of tax loss carryforwards and temporary differences.

Fair value measurement methodology

The fair value of each investment property in operation and in construction was determined based on a valuation reported at the time, prepared by an independent external appraiser (Cushman & Wakefield) and reviewed by management.

33


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

The valuation of these investment properties was prepared in accordance with the practice statements of the RICS Appraisal and Valuation Manual, published by The Royal Institution of Chartered Surveyors (“Red Book”), based in the United Kingdom.

The methodology adopted to calculate the market value (fair value) of an investment property in operation involves developing ten-year projections of gains and losses for each shopping mall, added to the residual value, which corresponds to a perpetuity calculated based on the net earnings of the 11 th year and a market yield rate (exit yield or cap rate). For the calculation of the perpetuity, the Company considered a real growth rate of 0.0%. These projections are discounted at the measurement date using a market discount rate.

The projections are not forecasted, but simply reflect the best estimate of the appraiser regarding the current view of the market with respect to the future revenue and cost of each property. The yield rate and the discount rate are set according to the local investment and institutional market and the reasonableness of the market value obtained according to the methodology above, equally tested in terms of the initial yield rate obtained based on net yield estimated for the first year of the projections.

In the valuation of the investment properties, some assumptions classified by the Red Book as “special” were considered. These assumptions relate mainly to recently opened shopping malls, where investment expenses not yet paid were not included, as such amounts are recognized in the financial statements.

The period for measurement at fair value is on semi-annual basis.

The assumptions used as of December 31, 2013 and 2012, for the measurement at fair value described above, are as follows:

On February 15, 2012, the Company issued 30,000 nonconvertible debentures, in two series, with a par value of R$10 each, totaling R$300,000. After the book building procedure carried out on March 2, 2012, which defined the debenture interest, the series can be summarized as follows:

 

·

1 st series: 9,550 debentures, in the total amount of R$95,500, yielding a floating annual rate equivalent to CDI plus 0.96%, with final maturity within five years. Compensation will be paid semiannually.

 

·

2 nd series: 20,450 debentures, in the total amount of R$204,500, yielding a floating annual rate equivalent to consumer price index (IPCA) plus 6.25%, with final maturity within seven years. Compensation will be paid annually.

As described in note 26.3, on August 22, 2013, the Company contracted a derivative instrument (swap) in the notional amount of R$54,500, to partially hedge the inflation rate risk (IPCA) subject to the interest of the 2 nd series of debentures. In this transaction, the Company replaced the IPCA + 6.25% per year by the CDI +1.24% per year.

The swap agreement expires within six years and matures on February 15, 2019. This maturity date is the same as the hedged instrument.

This transaction is intended to adjust the Company’s indebtedness, including the change from variable IPCA rate to the CDI. Although both rates are variable, the CDI currently reflects the primary compensation index of the Company’s financial assets and, therefore, is more appropriate to manage financial instruments.

Labor and social security  

As of December 31, 2013, the Company and its subsidiaries whose contingency in the amount of R$1,210 (R$1,197 as of December 31, 2012) was assessed as a probable loss by the legal counsel.

For the social security risks, as of December 31, 2013, the Company maintained a reserve of R$2,267 (R$2,994 as of December 31, 2012) according to the legal counsel’s opinion, which estimated that the likelihood of loss on these lawsuits is probable.

 

(b)

Tax

IRRF, CIDE, CPMF and CADE

The Company is claiming the suspension of the payment of IRRF, economic intervention contribution (CIDE) and tax on banking transaction (CPMF) on payments made abroad. The historical amounts of such lawsuits correspond to the total amount of R$3,344 (R$3,187 as of December 31, 2012), which are deposited in escrow and accrued, since the likelihood of loss on these lawsuits is probable.

The CIDE and IRRF lawsuits had an unfavorable decision to the Company on appellate court and await ruling at special appeal.

There was a final and unappealable decision on the lawsuit challenging the CPMF levied an unfavorable decision of foreign payments to subsidiary Sierra Investimentos. This decision will not require disbursements since the court costs have already been paid and the subsidiary was not sentenced to pay attorney’s fees to the prevailing party arising from the injunction. Presently, subsidiary Sierra Investimentos awaits the settlement of the escrow deposit, which amounts to R$1,278, in order to write off the tax credit.

Additionally, Sierra Investimentos recognizes a reserve for contingencies and made an escrow deposit of R$410, corresponding to the administrative fine imposed by the CADE (Brazilian antitrust agency). As of December 31, 2012, this lawsuit had already obtained a final and un-appealable decision. Presently, Sierra Investimentos is awaiting the withdrawal of the escrow deposits made by the CADE to settle the fine, with no impact on net income.

The Company’s subsidiaries are defendants in several lawsuits arising from their regular business activities, especially involving compensation, contract termination and shopping mall rental renewal and revision lawsuits.

The Company’s subsidiaries are plaintiffs in lawsuits mostly related to evictions (due to default and contractual breaches), executions and collections.

The measurement of financial instruments is grouped into levels 1 to 3, based on the fair value hierarchy:

 

·

Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities.

 

·

Level 2 - other techniques according to which all inputs with significant effects on the fair value are observable, either directly or indirectly. The fair values of the financial assets and financial liabilities included in the level 2 category above have been determined in accordance with generally accepted pricing models based on a discounted cash flow analysis, with the most significant inputs being the discount rate that reflects the credit risk of counterparties.

 

·

Level 3 - techniques that use inputs with significant effects on fair value not based on observable market inputs.

According to their nature, financial instruments may involve known or unknown risks, and the Company’s judgment is important to the risk assessment. Thus, risks may exist with or without guarantees depending on circumstantial or legal aspects. The main market risk factors that may affect the Company’s business are as follows:

 

26.1.

Credit risk

The Company has a large customer base and constantly monitors trade receivables using internal controls, which limit the risk of default. The allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized in an amount considered by management as sufficient to cover probable losses on the collection of receivables, based on the following criterion: allowance of 100% for receivables past due over 120 days.

The credit risk related to cash and cash equivalents is limited as the counterparties are represented by banks, with a high rating assigned by international credit rating agencies.

26.2.

Price fluctuation risk    

The Company’s revenue consists of rentals received from shopping mall tenants. In general, rentals are adjusted based on the annual fluctuation of IPCA, as provided in the lease agreements. The rental levels may vary according to adverse economic conditions and, consequently, the revenue level may be affected. Management monitors these risks in order to minimize impacts on its business.

 

26.3.

Interest rate risk

Results from the portion of debt contracted with interest linked to the CDI, TR and IPCA and involves the risk of increase in financial expenses as a result of unfavorable rates.

The Company contracted non-speculative derivatives (swap) to partially hedge the inflation rate risk (IPCA) subject to interest of the 2 nd series of debentures, as follows:

The aforementioned swap transaction was designated by the Company as a fair value hedge accounting transaction. The fair value of debentures, which is the subject matter of the swap transaction, corresponds to a gain of R$1,982 (see notes 13 and 22).

 

26.4.

Currency risk

Trade receivables and trade payables are denominated in Brazilian reais and are not exposed to exchange fluctuations.

 

26.5.

Capital risk

The Company and its subsidiaries manage their capital to ensure regular business continuity and, at the same time, maximize return for all stakeholders or parties involved in their operations, by optimizing debt and equity balance.

The Company and its subsidiaries’ equity structure consists of loans and financing and debentures detailed in notes 12 and 13, less cash and cash equivalents, and consolidated shareholders’ equity (including capital, reserves and non-controlling interests, as mentioned in note 18).  

 

26.6.

Liquidity risk management

The Company and its subsidiaries manage the liquidity risk by maintaining proper reserves, bank and other credit facilities to raise new borrowings that they consider appropriate, based on the continuous monitoring of budgeted and actual cash flows, and the combination of the maturity profiles of financial assets and financial liabilities.

Liquidity risk and interest tables

The tables below detail the remaining contractual maturity of the Company’s financial liabilities and the contractual payment periods. These tables were prepared in accordance with undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities, based on the closest date when the Company and its subsidiaries should settle the corresponding obligations. The tables include interest and principal cash flows. As interest flows are based on floating rates, the undiscounted amount was based on the interest curves at year-end. Contractual maturity is based on the most recent date when the Company and its subsidiaries should settle the related obligations.

Sensitivity analysis on financial instruments

Considering the financial instrument previously described, the Company and its subsidiaries have developed a sensitivity analysis based on 25% and 50% fluctuations in the risk variable taken into consideration. These scenarios may impact the Company and its subsidiaries’ net income and/or future cash flows, as described below:

 

·

Base scenario: maintenance of interest in the same levels as those as of December 31, 2013.

 

·

Adverse scenario: a 25% fluctuation of the main risk factor of the financial instrument compared to the level as of December 31, 2013.

 

·

Remote scenario: a 50% fluctuation of the main risk factor of the financial instrument compared to the level as of December 31, 2013.

COMMITMENTS

With the enactment of Law 12024, dated August 27, 2009, which describes the tax treatment applicable to income earned by real estate investment funds, the administrator of Fundo de Investimento Imobiliário I, Banco Ourinvest S.A., stopped retaining IRRF on income paid to a certain shareholder headquartered in Brazil. In view of the inquiry made by Banco Ourinvest S.A., to the Federal Revenue Service on the content and scope of this law, Sierra Investimentos committed to an agreement entered into with this bank, dated October 29, 2009, to make a short--term investment under custody to cover a possible collection of the tax that is not being withheld. At the same date, Parque D. Pedro 1 BV/SARL (a Luxembourg company belonging to the same corporate group of the Company) and Sierra Investimentos, entered into an agreement under which Parque D. Pedro 1 BV/SARL agrees to reimburse Sierra Investimentos for any type of risk arising from the nonpayment of tax by Banco Ourinvest S.A.

As of May 13, 2010, the federal government filed an appeal against the federal lower court decision. On June 11, 2010, Banco Ourinvest S.A. filed its counter-arguments and currently awaits the appellate court decision.

As of December 31, 2013, subsidiary Sierra Investimentos has R$833 receivable from Banco Ourinvest S.A., as a result of the agreement entered into on October 29, 2009. These receivables are classified in line item “Other receivables”, in noncurrent assets (see note 5). In addition, the subsidiary Sierra Investimentos has a balance of R$6,124 (R$4,065 as of December 31, 2012) in restricted investments, stated in noncurrent assets.

Summary of main differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS:

 

(a)

Investment properties

Under IFRS, investment properties are measured initially at their cost, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value. The gain or loss from the change in fair value of investment properties in operation are recognized in profit or loss for the period in which it arises.

Under U.S. GAAP, investment properties are carried at acquisition cost, including borrowing costs . Depreciation is calculated under the straight-line method based on estimated useful lives of the assets.

 

(b)

Interest capitalized on investment property under construction

Under IFRS, income earned on the temporary investment of actual borrowings is offset against the actual borrowing costs to be capitalized.

Under U.S. GAAP, income earned on the temporary investment of actual borrowings is not generally deducted from the amount of borrowing costs to be capitalized.

 

(c)

Write-off of prepaid commission expenses

Under U.S. GAAP, the Company recorded costs on commissions paid on store rentals as prepaid expenses, which are amortized over a five-year period taking into account the start and the termination of the lease agreements.

62


Sonae Sierra Brazil BV SARL and Subsidiaries

 

Under IFRS, these expenses and costs do not meet the definition of an asset; therefore, were recognized as operating costs when incurred.

 

(d)

Campo Limpo Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda.

The associate Campo Limpo Empreendimentos e Participações Ltda. also prepares financial statements in accordance with IFRS, and, as such, applies the policies described in items (a) and (b) above related to adjustment of the fair value of investment property. This amount represents the impact of these two adjustments in consolidated net income arising from the equity method valuation.

 

(e)

Deferred income taxes

The deferred income taxes reconciling item represents the tax effect of all the GAAP adjustments discussed in the reconciliation table above.

 

(f)

Gain on sales of investment properties

Under IFRS, investment properties are measured initially at their cost, including transaction costs. After initial recognition, investment properties are measured at fair value.

Under U.S. GAAP, investment properties are carried at acquisition cost, including borrowing costs less accumulated depreciation.

Therefore, the GAAP adjustment corresponds to the different results obtained by assets measured at fair value in IFRS and assets measured at cost of acquisition, deducted from accumulated depreciation in U.S. GAAP.
