These measures are used for trend analyses, incentive compensation, budgeting, and planning, with reconciliations to GAAP provided to address their inherent limitations - Regency uses non-GAAP measures such as Core Operating Earnings, Nareit EBITDAre, Nareit FFO, NOI, and Pro-rata financial information to improve understanding of operational results and for internal management purposes[65](index=65&type=chunk)[67](index=67&type=chunk)[68](index=68&type=chunk)[70](index=70&type=chunk) - Non-GAAP measures are not alternatives to GAAP but supplement them, with reconciliations provided to compensate for their limitations, such as excluding significant expense/income items[66](index=66&type=chunk)[68](index=68&type=chunk)[69](index=69&type=chunk) - Core Operating Earnings: Excludes certain non-comparable items and non-cash components from Nareit FFO[67](index=67&type=chunk) - Nareit FFO: Excludes gains/impairments of real estate, plus depreciation/amortization, adjusted for unconsolidated partnerships[68](index=68&type=chunk) - NOI: Sum of base rent, percentage rent, recoveries, other lease/property income, less operating/maintenance, real estate taxes, ground rent, and uncollectible lease income[70](index=70&type=chunk) - Pro-rata information: Includes 100% of consolidated properties plus economic share in unconsolidated partnerships, to reflect proportionate economic interest[70](index=70&type=chunk) [Item 1A. Risk Factors](index=20&type=section&id=Item%201A.%20Risk%20Factors) This section outlines various risks impacting Regency, including economic, operational, real estate, environmental, corporate, funding, technology, market, and tax-related factors [Risk Factors Related to the Current Economic and Geopolitical Environments](index=20&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20the%20Current%20Economic%20and%20Geopolitical%20Environments) Regency's operations are exposed to risks from current economic and geopolitical conditions, including rising interest rates impacting borrowing costs, real estate valuation, and stock price. Economic challenges like inflation, labor shortages, and potential recession could adversely affect tenant businesses, leasing activity, and rental rates. Instability in the banking and financial services industry could impair access to capital, and geopolitical conflicts may impact the U.S. economy and consumer spending - Higher interest rates may negatively impact borrowing costs, real estate valuation, and stock price, potentially affecting future business plans and equity capital raising[74](index=74&type=chunk)[75](index=75&type=chunk) - Current economic challenges (inflation, labor shortages, supply chain constraints, decreasing consumer confidence, increasing energy prices) and potential recession may adversely impact tenants' ability to pay rent, leasing activity, and rental rates[76](index=76&type=chunk)[77](index=77&type=chunk)[78](index=78&type=chunk) - Disruption or instability in the banking and financial services industry could impair access to capital, delay access to funds, or result in less favorable financing terms[79](index=79&type=chunk)[80](index=80&type=chunk) - Geopolitical challenges (e.g., Russia-Ukraine war, Middle East conflicts, China's economy) could impact the U.S. economy and consumer spending, leading to rising inflation, interest rates, and supply chain issues[81](index=81&type=chunk) [Risks Relating to Regency's Financial Performance Relating to the Urstadt Biddle Merger](index=22&type=section&id=Risks%20Relating%20to%20Regency%27s%20Financial%20Performance%20Relating%20to%20the%20Urstadt%20Biddle%20Merger) The successful integration of Urstadt Biddle Properties Inc. (UBP) following its acquisition on August 18, 2023, is crucial for realizing anticipated benefits and synergies. Potential difficulties include combining business practices, integrating operations, realizing value from UBP assets, retaining key employees, and managing unforeseen liabilities or increased expenses, which could adversely affect Regency's financial performance and growth - The success of the UBP merger depends on Regency's ability to successfully combine the businesses and realize anticipated benefits and synergies[82](index=82&type=chunk) - Potential integration difficulties include: inability to achieve cost savings, failure to integrate operations and internal systems, inability to realize anticipated value from UBP assets, loss of tenants and commercial relationships, complexities of managing the combined company, failure to retain key employees, disruption of ongoing businesses, and unforeseen liabilities or increased expenses[83](index=83&type=chunk) [Risk Factors Related to Pandemics or other Health Crises](index=24&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20Pandemics%20or%20other%20Health%20Crises) Future pandemics or health crises, similar to COVID-19, could negatively impact tenant financial conditions, property profitability, and access to capital markets. Such events may lead to requests for rent concessions, lease renegotiations, increased online shopping, decreased demand for retail space, and delays in construction due to supply chain and labor constraints, all of which could materially affect Regency's business and financial results - Future pandemics could lead to rent concessions, renegotiations, or tenant failures[85](index=85&type=chunk) - Increased online purchases and reduced demand for physical retail space could result in lower occupancy, higher uncollectible lease income, and downward pressure on rents[86](index=86&type=chunk) - Construction delays due to supply chain and labor constraints could delay rent commencement for new tenants[87](index=87&type=chunk) [Risk Factors Related to Operating Retail-Based Shopping Centers](index=24&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20Operating%20Retail-Based%20Shopping%20Centers) Regency's revenues and cash flow are highly dependent on the retail industry's economic and market conditions. Risks include non-renewal of leases, vacant spaces, modified lease terms, increased e-commerce competition, tenant bankruptcies, and reduced consumer spending. Geographic concentration in California and Florida (23.4% and 19.3% of annualized base rent, respectively) makes the company vulnerable to regional downturns. Dependence on 'anchor' tenants (10,000+ SF) and 'local' tenants (less than 3 locations, 22% of ABR) poses risks if these tenants fail or vacate, potentially triggering co-tenancy clauses or reducing foot traffic. Operating costs may remain constant or increase even with reduced income - Performance is directly linked to retail industry conditions, including lease renewals, new tenant leasing, and lease term modifications[88](index=88&type=chunk)[89](index=89&type=chunk) - Competition from e-commerce and changing consumer habits may reduce demand for physical retail space and impact tenant profitability[90](index=90&type=chunk)[91](index=91&type=chunk) - Geographic concentration in California (**23.4% of ABR**) and Florida (**19.3% of ABR**) makes the company vulnerable to regional economic downturns[92](index=92&type=chunk)[93](index=93&type=chunk) - Loss of 'Anchor Tenants' (≥**10,000 SF**) can reduce rental revenues and trigger co-tenancy clauses for other tenants[95](index=95&type=chunk)[96](index=96&type=chunk) - 'Local Tenants' (<**3 locations**, ~**22% of ABR**) are more vulnerable to economic conditions and changing trends, increasing default risk[97](index=97&type=chunk) - Operating costs (taxes, insurance, utilities) may remain constant or increase even if lease income decreases, impacting cash flows[98](index=98&type=chunk) [Risk Factors Related to Real Estate Investments](index=27&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20Real%20Estate%20Investments) Real estate assets may decline in value and be subject to impairment losses due to changes in operating performance, market conditions, or holding periods, impacting net income. Development, redevelopment, and expansion projects face risks such as delays in approvals, cost overruns, and inability to achieve projected occupancy or returns. Mixed-use developments introduce additional risks due to less experience in non-retail real estate. Property acquisitions carry risks of failing to meet projected occupancy/rental rates, unforeseen liabilities, and underestimating improvement costs. The ability to sell properties when desired is subject to market conditions, and changes in tax laws (e.g., Section 1031 exchanges) could impact acquisition/disposition strategies - Real estate assets may decline in value and incur impairment losses if carrying value exceeds estimated undiscounted cash flows, impacting net income[100](index=100&type=chunk)[101](index=101&type=chunk) - Development and redevelopment projects face risks including delays in government approvals, cost overruns, and failure to achieve projected occupancy or returns[102](index=102&type=chunk)[103](index=103&type=chunk) - Mixed-use commercial properties introduce unique risks due to less experience in non-retail real estate components[104](index=104&type=chunk) - Property acquisitions may fail to achieve projected occupancy/rental rates, reveal unknown liabilities, or incur higher-than-estimated improvement costs[105](index=105&type=chunk)[106](index=106&type=chunk) - Market conditions can limit the ability to sell properties on desired timing or at acceptable prices, impacting liquidity[107](index=107&type=chunk) - Changes in tax laws, particularly regarding Section 1031 like-kind exchanges, could impact tax-efficient property acquisitions and dispositions[108](index=108&type=chunk) [Risk Factors Related to the Environment Affecting Our Properties](index=31&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20the%20Environment%20Affecting%20Our%20Properties) Climate change poses direct risks to properties, particularly those near coasts, through increased storm frequency, rising sea levels, and potential population migration, which could reduce demand for retail space and increase insurance costs. Geographic concentration of properties in areas like California, Florida, and Texas makes the business more vulnerable to natural disasters and severe weather. Environmental remediation costs for hazardous substances, often from historical tenant practices, may adversely impact financial performance and cash flow, with potential for unknown liabilities or changes in regulations - Climate change may directly impact properties through adverse weather patterns (storms, sea-level rise) and population migration, potentially reducing demand for retail space and increasing compliance costs/taxes[109](index=109&type=chunk) - Geographic concentration in California (**18.7% of GLA**), Florida (**20.1%**), and Texas (**7.1%**) makes the portfolio vulnerable to natural disasters and severe weather, leading to higher insurance costs and business disruptions[110](index=110&type=chunk) - Environmental remediation costs for hazardous substances (e.g., from dry cleaners, gas stations, asbestos) may adversely impact financial performance and cash flow, with potential for unknown liabilities or changes in environmental laws[111](index=111&type=chunk) [Risk Factors Related to Corporate Matters](index=33&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20Corporate%20Matters) An increasing focus on ESG metrics and reporting may impose additional costs and risks, including potential negative impacts on stock price and capital raising if the company fails to score well in ratings or comply with new disclosure laws. Uninsured losses or losses exceeding insurance coverage from events like natural disasters or terrorism could lead to significant capital and revenue loss. The inability to attract and retain key personnel may adversely affect business operations due to intense competition for talent - Increased focus on ESG factors may impose additional costs, expose the company to new risks, and potentially impact stock price and ability to raise capital if ESG ratings or disclosures are unfavorable[112](index=112&type=chunk)[113](index=113&type=chunk) - Uninsured losses or losses exceeding insurance coverage (e.g., from named windstorms, earthquakes, terrorism) could result in significant loss of capital and revenue[114](index=114&type=chunk) - Failure to attract and retain key personnel, including executive management, may adversely affect business and operations due to intense competition for talent[115](index=115&type=chunk) [Risk Factors Related to Our Partnerships and Joint Ventures](index=34&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20Our%20Partnerships%20and%20Joint%20Ventures) Regency's investments in real estate partnerships and joint ventures carry risks due to a lack of full voting control, potentially leading to inconsistent objectives, impasses on decisions, or liability for partners' actions. The termination of significant partnerships could adversely affect cash flow and operating results by eliminating asset, property, leasing, and construction management fees, as well as operating income from properties - Lack of voting control in partnerships/joint ventures means objectives may not be pursued, and partners may have inconsistent interests or fail to fund capital contributions[116](index=116&type=chunk) - Disputes with partners could lead to premature termination, litigation, increased costs, and management distraction[117](index=117&type=chunk) - Termination of partnerships owning significant properties could adversely affect cash flow and operating results by eliminating fees and operating income[118](index=118&type=chunk) [Risk Factors Related to Funding Strategies and Capital Structure](index=34&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20Funding%20Strategies%20and%20Capital%20Structure) Regency's funding strategy, which includes property sales to finance acquisitions and developments, may be adversely impacted by higher market capitalization rates or lower Net Operating Income (NOI), potentially diluting earnings. The company relies on external capital sources, which may not always be available on favorable terms, and existing debt covenants can restrict financing flexibility. Increases in interest rates would raise borrowing costs, negatively impacting results, and hedging activities carry risks of counterparty non-performance or ineffectiveness - Higher market capitalization rates or lower NOI may reduce the value of properties for sale, impacting cash generation for acquisitions and developments[119](index=119&type=chunk)[120](index=120&type=chunk) - Dependence on external capital sources means financing may not be available on favorable terms, and existing debt covenants limit flexibility[121](index=121&type=chunk)[122](index=122&type=chunk) - Inability to refinance debt on acceptable terms could force property dispositions or unfavorable financing, reducing cash flow for distributions[123](index=123&type=chunk)[124](index=124&type=chunk) - Increases in interest rates would raise borrowing costs on variable-rate debt and refinancing, negatively impacting earnings and cash flows[125](index=125&type=chunk)[126](index=126&type=chunk) - Hedging activities carry risks of counterparty failure or ineffectiveness in mitigating interest rate changes[127](index=127&type=chunk) [Risk Factors Related to Information Management and Technology](index=36&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20Information%20Management%20and%20Technology) Unauthorized access, theft, or destruction of sensitive data in information systems, including through cyber-attacks, could damage Regency's reputation, lead to tenant/employee loss, financial impact, and legal liabilities. Despite cybersecurity investments, such breaches may occur. The use of artificial intelligence (AI) presents risks related to confidentiality, inaccurate outputs leading to flawed decisions, and emerging regulatory challenges, which could adversely affect business efficiency and results of operations - Unauthorized access, theft, or destruction of tenant/employee personal data or proprietary information due to cybersecurity incidents (e.g., ransomware) could damage reputation, lead to financial impact, and legal liabilities[128](index=128&type=chunk)[129](index=129&type=chunk) - Information systems are vulnerable to damage from computer viruses, natural disasters, and telecommunication failures[130](index=130&type=chunk) - Use of artificial intelligence (AI) presents risks including leakage of sensitive information, creation of inaccurate outputs leading to flawed decisions, and emerging regulatory risks that could limit AI use or incur penalties[131](index=131&type=chunk)[132](index=132&type=chunk) [Risk Factors Related to the Market Price for Our Securities](index=38&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20the%20Market%20Price%20for%20Our%20Securities) The market price of Regency's debt and equity securities can fluctuate significantly due to various factors beyond its control, including operating results, earnings estimates, analyst reports, interest rate changes, market valuations, and strategic actions. A decline in stock price could hinder the ability to raise additional equity capital. There is no assurance that current or historical dividend rates will be maintained, and changes in dividend payments could adversely affect stock price - Market price of securities can fluctuate due to operating results, earnings estimates, analyst reports, interest rates, market valuations, and strategic actions[133](index=133&type=chunk) - A decrease in common stock market price may reduce the ability to raise additional equity capital and dilute existing stockholders[134](index=134&type=chunk) - No assurance that dividends will continue at current or historical rates; changes could adversely affect the market price of common stock[135](index=135&type=chunk) [Risk Factors Related to Taxes and the Parent Company's Qualification as a REIT](index=40&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20Taxes%20and%20the%20Parent%20Company%27s%20Qualification%20as%20a%20REIT) Failure to qualify as a REIT would subject the Parent Company to federal income tax at corporate rates, significantly reducing cash for dividends and adversely affecting security value. REIT qualification is complex, with strict requirements (e.g., 95% gross income from passive sources, 90% taxable income distribution), and changes in tax laws or interpretations could make qualification more difficult. Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates for individuals, potentially making REIT investments less attractive. Failure to qualify as a 'domestically controlled' REIT could subject foreign stockholders to U.S. federal income tax on stock dispositions. Complying with REIT requirements may also limit effective hedging and expose the company to partnership tax audit rules - Failure to qualify as a REIT would subject the Parent Company to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, significantly reducing cash for dividends and adversely affecting security value[136](index=136&type=chunk)[137](index=137&type=chunk) - REIT qualification is complex, requiring adherence to technical rules (e.g., **95% gross income** from passive sources, **90% taxable income** distribution), and is subject to IRS/court interpretations and potential legislative changes[138](index=138&type=chunk)[139](index=139&type=chunk)[140](index=140&type=chunk)[141](index=141&type=chunk) - Dividends paid by REITs generally do not qualify for reduced tax rates for individuals, potentially making REITs less attractive compared to C corporations[142](index=142&type=chunk) - Failure to qualify as a 'domestically controlled' REIT could subject foreign stockholders to U.S. federal income tax on stock dispositions[143](index=143&type=chunk) - REIT requirements may limit effective hedging strategies and expose the company to partnership tax audit rules, potentially incurring additional taxes at the partnership level[144](index=144&type=chunk)[145](index=145&type=chunk)[146](index=146&type=chunk)[147](index=147&type=chunk) [Risk Factors Related to the Company's Common Stock](index=42&type=section&id=Risk%20Factors%20Related%20to%20the%20Company%27s%20Common%20Stock) Restrictions on common stock ownership (e.g., 7% limit to preserve REIT status) may delay or prevent a change in control. Future equity issuances for acquisitions, capital market transactions, or employee awards could dilute existing stockholders' ownership. The Board's authority to issue preferred or special common stock with superior rights could further dilute voting power or reduce common stock value - Ownership restrictions (e.g., **7% limit**) to preserve REIT status may delay or prevent a change in control[148](index=148&type=chunk) - Future equity issuances for acquisitions, capital market transactions, or equity awards could dilute stockholders' percentage ownership[150](index=150&type=chunk)[151](index=151&type=chunk) - The Board's authority to issue preferred or special common stock with preferences over common stock could dilute voting power or reduce common stock value[152](index=152&type=chunk) [Item 1B.
