NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1. Organization and Basis of Presentations

Organization

Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust, together with its subsidiaries (the “Company” or "RPT"), is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) engaged in the business of owning, developing, redeveloping, acquiring, managing and leasing large multi-anchored shopping centers primarily in a number of the largest metropolitan markets in the central United States. As of June 30, 2016, our property portfolio consisted of 66 wholly owned shopping centers and one office building comprising approximately 14.7 million square feet. We also have ownership interests, ranging from 7% to 30%, in three joint ventures. Our joint ventures are reported using equity method accounting. We earn fees from the joint ventures for managing, leasing and redeveloping the shopping centers they own. In addition, we own interests in several land parcels that are available for development or sale. Most of our properties are anchored by supermarkets and/or national chain stores. Our credit risk, therefore, is concentrated in the retail industry.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and our majority owned subsidiary, the Operating Partnership, Ramco-Gershenson Properties, L.P. (the "OP") (97.7% owned by the Company at June 30, 2016 and 97.6% owned by the Company at December 31, 2015), and all wholly-owned subsidiaries, including entities in which we have a controlling financial interest. During the first quarter of 2016 we adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis. The Company evaluated the application of ASU No. 2015-02 and concluded that no change was required to its accounting of its interests in less than wholly owned joint ventures, however, the Operating Partnership now meets the criteria as a variable interest entity. The Company’s significant asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership, and consequently, substantially all of our assets and liabilities represent those assets and liabilities of the Operating Partnership.

We have elected to be a REIT for federal income tax purposes. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. The information furnished is unaudited and reflects all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect a fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015.

The preparation of our unaudited financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management of the Company to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the unaudited financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and reported amounts that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications and Revisions

Certain reclassifications of prior period amounts have been made in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnotes in order to conform to the current presentation.

Page 7 of 32

In previously filed quarterly reports, the Company incorrectly calculated comprehensive income attributable to noncontrolling interest. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income have been revised. The revision resulted in a decrease to previously reported comprehensive income attributable to RPT as follows:



		Three Months Ended			Six Months Ended
	June 30, 2015
	(in thousands)
Comprehensive (income) loss attributable to non controlling interest as previously reported		$	(31	)	$	10
Comprehensive income attributable to non controlling interest as revised		$	(231	)	$	(466	)

Comprehensive income attributable to RPT as previously reported		$	8,408		$	16,928
Comprehensive income attributable to RPT as revised		$	8,208		$	16,452

There was no impact to the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations, Condensed Consolidated Statements of Shareholders’ Equity or to the Company’s cash position resulting from this revision.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") updated Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") Topic 326 "Financial Instruments - Credit Losses" with 2016-13 “Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments.” ASU 2016-13 enhances the methodology of measuring expected credit losses to include the use of forward-looking information to better inform credit loss estimates. ASU 2016-13 is effective for annual periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2019. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In March 2016, the FASB updated ASC Topic 718 "Compensation - Stock Compensation" with ASU 2016-09 "Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting". ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of share-based payment award transactions, including tax consequences, classification of awards and the classification on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-09 is effective for annual periods (including interim periods within those periods) beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the guidance and have not determined the impact this standard may have on our consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB updated ASC Topic 842 "Leases." In ASU 2016-02, which requires lessees to record operating and financing leases as assets and liabilities on the balance sheet and lessors to expense costs that are not direct leasing costs. ASU 2016-02 is effective for periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance using a modified retrospective approach. We are currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede nearly all existing GAAP revenue recognition guidance as well as impact the existing GAAP guidance governing the sale of nonfinancial assets. The standard’s core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it satisfies performance obligations, by transferring promised goods or services to customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for fulfilling those performance obligations. In doing so, companies will need to exercise more judgment and make more estimates than under existing GAAP guidance. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for public entities for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and early adoption is permitted in periods ending after December 15, 2016. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of ASU 2014-09 on our consolidated financial statements.

2. Real Estate

Included in our net real estate assets are income producing properties that are recorded at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, construction in process and land available for development or sale.

We review our investment in real estate, including any related intangible assets, for impairment on a property-by-property basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the property may not be recoverable. These changes in circumstances include, but are not limited to, changes in occupancy, rental rates, tenant sales, net operating income, geographic location, real estate values and expected holding period.

Land available for development or sale includes real estate projects where vertical construction has yet to commence, but which have been identified by us and are available for future development when market conditions dictate the demand for a new shopping center. The viability of all projects under construction or development, including those owned by unconsolidated joint ventures, are regularly evaluated under applicable accounting requirements, including requirements relating to abandonment of assets or changes in use. Land available for development or sale was $39.8 million and $39.6 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Construction in progress represents existing development, redevelopment and tenant build-out projects. When projects are substantially complete and ready for their intended use, balances are transferred to land or building and improvements as appropriate. Construction in progress was $26.4 million and $20.6 million at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

The increase in construction in progress from December 31, 2015 to June 30, 2016 was due primarily to ongoing redevelopment and expansion projects across the portfolio.

4. Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures

We have three joint venture agreements whereby we own between 7% and 30% of the equity in each joint venture. We and the joint venture partners have joint approval rights for major decisions, including those regarding property operations. We cannot make significant decisions without our partner’s approval. Accordingly, we account for our interest in the joint ventures using the equity method of accounting.

The combined condensed financial information for our unconsolidated joint ventures is summarized as follows:

Senior unsecured notes and unsecured term loans

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we executed an amendment extending the maturity of our $60.0 million unsecured term loan, originally maturing in 2018, to 2023.

Our $670.0 million of senior unsecured notes and unsecured term loans have interest rates ranging from 2.99% to 4.74% and are due at various maturity dates from May 2020 through November 2026.

Mortgages

During the six months ended June 30, 2016 we repaid a mortgage note secured by Troy Marketplace in the amount of $20.6 million, that had an interest rate of 5.90%.

A $11.8 million non-recourse mortgage note secured by our wholly-owned Towne Center at Aquia office property located in Stafford County, Virginia, matured on June 1, 2016. The note is currently in maturity default. We are working with the lender to transfer the property's title to the lender and release our obligation.

Page 11 of 32

Our $300.0 million of fixed rate mortgages have interest rates ranging from 2.86% to 7.38% and are due at various maturity dates from January 2017 through June 2026. The fixed rate mortgages are secured by properties that have an approximate net book value of $375.3 million as of June 30, 2016.

Other than the $11.8 million non-recourse mortgage note mentioned above, we have no additional mortgage maturities until January 2017. It is our intent to repay those mortgages using cash, borrowings under our unsecured line of credit, or other sources of financing.

The mortgage loans encumbering our properties are generally nonrecourse, subject to certain exceptions for which we would be liable for any resulting losses incurred by the lender. These exceptions vary from loan to loan but generally include fraud or a material misrepresentation, misstatement or omission by the borrower, intentional or grossly negligent conduct by the borrower that harms the property or results in a loss to the lender, filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, either directly or indirectly and certain environmental liabilities. In addition, upon the occurrence of certain events, such as fraud or filing of a bankruptcy petition by the borrower, we or our joint ventures would be liable for the entire outstanding balance of the loan, all interest accrued thereon and certain other costs, including penalties and expenses.

We have entered into mortgage loans which are secured by multiple properties and contain cross-collateralization and cross-default provisions. Cross-collateralization provisions allow a lender to foreclose on multiple properties in the event that we default under the loan. Cross-default provisions allow a lender to foreclose on the related property in the event a default is declared under another loan.

Revolving Credit Facility

As of June 30, 2016 we had $26.0 million outstanding under our revolving credit facility, a decrease of $50.0 million during the quarter. After adjusting for outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility, not reflected in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets, totaling $0.1 million we had $323.9 million of availability under our revolving credit facility. The interest rate as of June 30, 2016 was 1.82%.

Our revolving credit facility, term loans and unsecured notes contain financial covenants relating to total leverage, fixed charge coverage ratio, unencumbered assets, tangible net worth and various other calculations. As of June 30, 2016, we were in compliance with these covenants.

Junior Subordinated Notes

Our junior subordinated notes have a variable rate of LIBOR plus 3.30%. The maturity date is January 2038.

The following table presents scheduled principal payments on mortgages and notes payable as of June 30, 2016:

⁽²⁾ Scheduled maturities in 2018 include the $26.0 million balance on the unsecured revolving credit facility drawn as of June 30, 2016. The unsecured revolving credit facility has a one-year extension option.

6. Fair Value

We utilize fair value measurements to record fair value adjustments to certain assets and liabilities and to determine fair value disclosures. Derivative instruments (interest rate swaps) are recorded at fair value on a recurring basis. Additionally, we, from time to time, may be required to record other assets at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, GAAP establishes three fair value levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. The assessed inputs used in determining any fair value measurement could result in incorrect valuations that could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements. These levels are:


Level 1	Valuation is based upon quoted prices for identical instruments traded in active markets.


Level 2	Valuation is based upon prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market.


Level 3	Valuation is generated from model-based techniques that use at least one significant assumption not observable in the market. These unobservable assumptions reflect estimates of assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the assets or liabilities.

The following is a description of valuation methodologies used for our assets and liabilities recorded at fair value.

Derivative Assets and Liabilities

All of our derivative instruments are interest rate swaps for which quoted market prices are not readily available. For those derivatives, we measure fair value on a recurring basis using valuation models that use primarily market observable inputs, such as yield curves. We classify these instruments as Level 2. Refer to Note 7 Derivative Financial Instruments of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information on our derivative financial instruments.

The table below presents the recorded amount of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015.



		Total
	Balance Sheet Location	Fair Value			Level 2
2016		(In thousands)
Derivative liabilities - interest rate swaps	Other liabilities	$	(8,596	)	$	(8,596	)
2015
Derivative assets - interest rate swaps	Other assets	$	642		$	642
Derivative liabilities - interest rate swaps	Other liabilities	$	(2,241	)	$	(2,241	)

The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, receivables and accounts payable and accrued liabilities are reasonable estimates of their fair values because of the short maturity of these financial instruments.

We estimated the fair value of our debt based on our incremental borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made for other debt. The discount rates used approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and credit quality, assume the debt is outstanding through maturity and consider the debt’s collateral (if applicable). Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions, there can be no assurance that the disclosed value of any financial instrument could be realized by immediate settlement of the instrument.

Fixed rate debt (including variable rate debt swapped to fixed through derivatives) with carrying values of $970.0 million and $996.3 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively, had fair values of approximately $998.3 million and $1.0 billion, respectively. Variable rate debt’s fair value is estimated to be the carrying values of $54.1 million and $87.4 million as of June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, respectively.

Page 12 of 32

7. Derivative Financial Instruments

We utilize interest rate swap agreements for risk management purposes to reduce the impact of changes in interest rates on our variable rate debt. We may also enter into forward starting swaps to set the effective interest rate on planned variable rate financing. On the date we enter into an interest rate swap, the derivative is designated as a hedge against the variability of cash flows that are to be paid in connection with a recognized liability. Subsequent changes in the fair value of a derivative designated as a cash flow hedge that is determined to be effective are recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”) until earnings are affected by the variability of cash flows of the hedged transaction. The differential between fixed and variable rates to be paid or received is accrued, as interest rates change, and recognized currently as interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. We assess effectiveness of our cash flow hedges both at inception and on an ongoing basis. Our cash flow hedges become ineffective, for example, if critical terms of the hedging instrument and the debt do not perfectly match such as notional amounts, settlement dates, reset dates and calculation period and LIBOR rate. Changes in the fair values are immediately included in other income and expenses. At June 30, 2016, all of our hedges were effective.

The following table summarizes the notional values and fair values of our derivative financial instruments as of June 30, 2016:

9. Share-based Compensation Plans

As of June 30, 2016, we have one share-based compensation plan in effect. The 2012 Omnibus Long-Term Incentive Plan (“2012 LTIP”) under which our compensation committee may grant, subject to any Company performance conditions as specified by the compensation committee, restricted shares, restricted share units, options and other awards to trustees, officers and other key employees. The 2012 LTIP allows us to issue up to 2.0 million shares of our common stock, units or stock options, of which 1.4 million remained available for issuance as of June 30, 2016.

As of June 30, 2016, we had 372,352 unvested share awards granted under the 2012 LTIP and other plans which terminated when the 2012 LTIP became effective. These awards have various expiration dates through March 2021.

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we had the following activity:


•	granted 115,646 shares of service-based restricted stock that vest over five years. The service-based awards were valued based on our closing stock price as of the grant date and the expense is recognized on a graded vesting basis; and


•	granted performance-based cash units that are earned subject to a future performance measurement based on a three-year shareholder return peer comparison (“TSR Grants”). If the performance criterion is met, the actual value of the units earned will be determined and 50% of the award will be paid in cash immediately while the balance will be paid in cash the following year.

Pursuant to ASC 718 – Stock Compensation, we determine the grant date fair value of TSR Grants, and any subsequent re-measurements, based upon a Monte Carlo simulation model. We will recognize the compensation expense ratably over the requisite service period. We are required to re-value the cash awards at the end of each quarter using the same methodology as was used at the initial grant date and adjust the compensation expense accordingly. If at the end of the three-year measurement period the performance criterion is not met, compensation expense previously recognized would be reversed. Compensation expense related to the cash awards was $0.4 million and $0.4 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively, and $0.8 million and $0.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

We recognized total share-based compensation expense of $0.7 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and $1.3 million and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015, respectively.

As of June 30, 2016, we had $7.1 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to unvested restricted shares and performance based equity and cash awards. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 4.7 years.

10. Taxes

Income Taxes

We conduct our operations with the intent of meeting the requirements applicable to a REIT under sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code. In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gain, to our shareholders. As long as we qualify as a REIT, we will generally not be liable for federal corporate income taxes.

Certain of our operations, including property management and asset management, as well as ownership of certain land, are conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”) which allows us to provide certain services and conduct certain activities that are not generally considered as qualifying REIT activities.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities reflect the impact of temporary differences between the amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and the bases of such assets and liabilities as measured by tax laws. Deferred tax assets are reduced by a valuation allowance to the amount where realization is more likely than not assured after considering all available evidence, including expected taxable earnings and potential tax planning strategies. Our temporary differences primarily relate to deferred compensation, depreciation, land basis differences, and net operating loss carry forwards.

As of June 30, 2016, we had a federal and state deferred tax asset of $10.8 million and a valuation allowance of $10.8 million. Our deferred tax assets are reduced by an offsetting valuation allowance where there is uncertainty regarding their realizability. We believe that it is more likely than not that the results of future operations will not generate sufficient taxable income to recognize the deferred tax assets. These future operations are primarily dependent upon the profitability of our TRSs, the timing and amounts of gains on land sales, and other factors affecting the results of operations of the TRSs.

Page 15 of 32

If in the future we are able to conclude it is more likely than not that we will realize a future benefit from a deferred tax asset, we will reduce the related valuation allowance by the appropriate amount. The first time this occurs, it will result in a net deferred tax asset on our balance sheet and an income tax benefit of equal magnitude in our statement of operations in the period we make the determination.

We recorded income tax provisions of approximately $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Sales Taxes

We collect various taxes from tenants and remit these amounts, on a net basis, to the applicable taxing authorities.

11. Commitments and Contingencies

Construction Costs

In connection with the development and expansion of various shopping centers as of June 30, 2016, we had entered into agreements for construction costs of approximately $12.2 million.

Litigation

We are currently involved in certain litigation arising in the ordinary course of business; however, we do not believe that any of this litigation will have a material effect on our consolidated financial statements.

Leases

Operating Leases

We lease office space for our corporate headquarters under an operating lease that expires in August 2019.

Capital Leases

We have a ground lease at Buttermilk Towne Center which we have recorded as a capital lease that expires in December 2032.

We recognized rent and interest expense related to the operating and capital leases of $0.3 million and $0.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

12. Subsequent Events

We have evaluated subsequent events through the date that the condensed consolidated financial statements were issued.

On July 8, 2016, we entered into agreements to issue $75.0 million senior unsecured notes in a private placement offering. The notes will have a 12-year term and are priced at a fixed interest rate of 3.64%. The notes are expected to extend the Company's maturity waterfall and reduce its average interest rate. The sale of the notes is expected to close on November 30, 2016.

In July 2016, we executed two agreements with separate buyers to sell two wholly-owned income producing properties totaling $40.5 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Where we say "we," "us," or "our," we usually mean Ramco-Gershenson Properties Trust.

The following discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements, including the respective notes thereto, which are included in this Form 10-Q.

Forward-Looking Statements

This document contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements represent our expectations, plans or beliefs concerning future events and may be identified by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “believe,” “expect,” “estimate,” “anticipate,” “continue,” “predict” or similar terms. Although the forward-looking statements made in this document are based on our good faith beliefs, reasonable assumptions and our best judgment based upon current information, certain factors could cause actual results to differ materially from those in the forward-looking statements, including: our success or failure in implementing our business strategy; economic conditions generally and in the commercial real estate and finance markets specifically; the cost and availability of capital, which depends in part on our asset quality and our relationships with lenders and other capital providers; our business prospects and outlook; changes in governmental regulations, tax rates and similar matters; our continuing to qualify as a REIT; and other factors discussed elsewhere in this document and our other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2015. Given these uncertainties, you should not place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements. Except as required by law, we assume no obligation to update these forward-looking statements, even if new information becomes available in the future.

Overview

We are a fully integrated, self-administered, publicly-traded equity REIT which owns, develops, redevelops, acquires, manages and leases large multi-anchored shopping centers primarily in a number of the largest metropolitan markets in the central United States. As of June 30, 2016, our property portfolio consisted of 66 wholly owned shopping centers and one office building comprising approximately 14.7 million square feet. We also have ownership interests, ranging from 7% to 30%, in three joint ventures. In addition, we own interests in several land parcels that are available for development or sale, the majority of which are adjacent to certain of our existing developed properties. Our consolidated portfolio was 95% leased at June 30, 2016.

We accomplished the following activity during the six months ended June 30, 2016:

Operating Activity

For our consolidated properties we reported the following leasing activity:



	Leasing Transactions	Square Footage	Base Rent/SF ⁽¹⁾		Prior Rent/SF ⁽²⁾		Tenant Improvements/SF⁽³⁾		Leasing Commissions/SF
Renewals	56	526,910	$	11.25	$	10.58	$	0.04	$	—
New Leases - Comparable ⁽⁴⁾	7	26,650	19.04		14.31		10.92		4.46

Total	80	628,188	$	12.34	N/A		$	4.47	$	0.64

⁽¹⁾ Base rent represents contractual minimum rent under the new lease for the first 12 months of the term.

⁽²⁾Prior rent represents minimum rent, if any, paid by the prior tenant in the final 12 months of the term.

⁽³⁾Includes tenant improvement cost, tenant allowances, landlord costs and third-party leasing commissions. Excludes first generation space and new leases related to development and redevelopment activity.

⁽⁴⁾ Comparable leases represent those leases signed on identical spaces for which there was a former tenant within the last twelve months and the leases contain similar tenant billing terms. Redevelopment leases are excluded.

Page 17 of 32

Investing Activity

At June 30, 2016, we have ten properties under redevelopment, expansion or re-anchoring projects in process with an anticipated cost of $79.9 million, of which $38.0 million remains to be invested. Completion for these projects is anticipated over the next 18 months.

In addition to the above we completed $70.7 million of dispositions. Refer to Note 3 Property Acquisitions and Dispositions of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to acquisitions and dispositions.

Financing Activity

Debt

During the six months ended June 30, 2016, we repaid a $20.6 million mortgage note. In addition, we amended our existing $60.0 million unsecured term loan extending the maturity date from 2018 to 2023. Refer to Note 5 Debt of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information related to our debt.

Equity

As of June 30, 2016 we had net debt to total market capitalization of 37.2% as compared to 38.3%, at June 30, 2015. At June 30, 2016 and June 30, 2015 we had $323.9 million and $329.5 million, respectively, available to draw under our unsecured revolving line of credit.

Land Available for Development or Sale

At June 30, 2016, we had one project in pre-development and two projects where Phase I of the development was completed. The remaining future phases at those projects are in pre-development. We estimate that if we proceed with the development of the projects, up to approximately 750,000 square feet of GLA could be developed, excluding various outparcels of land. It is our policy to start vertical construction on new development projects only after the project has received entitlements, significant anchor commitments and construction financing, if appropriate.

Our development and construction activities are subject to risks such as our inability to obtain the necessary governmental approvals for a project, our determination that the expected return on a project is not sufficient to warrant continuation of the planned development, or our change in plan or scope for the development. If any of these events occur, we may record an impairment provision.

Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K contains a description of our critical accounting policies, including initial adoption of accounting policies, revenue recognition and accounts receivable, real estate investment, off balance sheet arrangements, fair value measurements and deferred charges. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, there were no material changes to these policies.

Total revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2016, increased $6.1 million, or 10.3%, from 2015. The increase is primarily due to acquisitions completed during the second half of 2015, as well as the completion of redevelopment projects, offset by dispositions.

Real estate tax expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $2.0 million, or 22.0% from 2015, primarily due to our acquisitions.

Recoverable and non-recoverable operating expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $0.6 million, or 7.7% from 2015, primarily due to the timing of landscaping services and lower exterior utility costs as well as the reversal of a reserve taken in the first quarter associated with an anchor tenant.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $1.6 million, or 7.5%, from 2015. The increase was primarily related to our acquisitions completed during the second half of 2015 as well as new development completion and other capital improvements partially offset by dispositions.

General and administrative expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $0.2 million or 3.8% from 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase in costs associated with our long-term incentive plans and additional compensation expense related to new hires subsequent to June 30, 2015.

Gain on sale of real estate was $19.8 million for the three months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $0.3 million during the same period in 2015. Refer to Note 3 Property Acquisitions and Dispositions of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information related to our 2016 dispositions.

Earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures for the three months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $0.2 million or 67.5%, primarily attributable to the sale of joint venture properties in the third quarter of 2015. As of June 30, 2016, two properties remained in our unconsolidated joint ventures.

Interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2016 increased $1.0 million or 9.5% from 2015 primarily due to higher indebtedness, offset in part by a net reduction in mortgage debt balances.

Preferred share dividends and conversion costs decreased $0.5 million, or 23.0% from 2015 due to the conversion of shares in April 2015 and the corresponding conversion costs.

Total revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2016, increased $13.2 million, or 11.1%, from 2015. The increase is primarily due to acquisitions completed during the third quarter 2015, net of properties sold during 2015, as well as completed redevelopment projects.

Real estate tax expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $3.3 million, or 18.3% from 2015, primarily due to our acquisitions and incremental tax increases within existing properties.

Recoverable and non-recoverable operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $0.9 million, or 5.5%, from 2015. The increase was primarily due to our acquisitions as well as a net increase in bad debt expense associated with the bankruptcy of an anchor tenant.

Depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $5.1 million, or 12.2%, from 2015. The increase was primarily due to our acquisitions in 2015, completion of redevelopment projects and other capital improvement expenditures, partially offset by dispositions.

General and administrative expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $0.9 million or 9.1% from 2015. The increase was primarily due to an increase in costs associated with our long-term incentive plans and additional compensation expense related to new hires subsequent to June 30, 2015.

Gain on sale of real estate was $26.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2016 compared to $3.5 million during the same period in 2015. Refer to Note 3 Property Acquisitions and Dispositions of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for further information related to our 2016 dispositions.

Earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2016 decreased $2.8 million or (92.7)% as a result of the sale of joint venture properties in the third quarter of 2015. Additionally, in March 2015 a joint venture property was sold generating a gain of $7.5 million of which our share was $2.2 million.

Interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2016 increased $2.0 million or 9.6% from 2015 primarily due to higher indebtedness.

Preferred share dividends and conversion costs decreased $0.6 million or 16.0% from 2015 due to the conversion of preferred shares in April 2015 and the corresponding conversion costs.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our internally generated funds from operating centers and other investing activities, augmented by use of our existing line of credit and equity sales through our controlled equity offering, provide resources to maintain our current operations and assets and pay dividends. Generally, our need to access the capital markets is limited to refinancing debt obligations at or near maturity and funding major capital investments and acquisitions. See “Planned Capital Spending” for more details.

At June 30, 2016, we had $4.4 million in cash and cash equivalents and $7.8 million in restricted cash. Restricted cash was comprised primarily of funds held in escrow to pay real estate taxes, insurance premiums, and certain capital expenditures.

Short-Term Liquidity Requirements

Our short-term liquidity needs are met primarily from rental and recovery income and consist primarily of funds necessary to pay operating expenses associated with our operating properties, interest and scheduled principal payments on our debt, quarterly dividend payments (including distributions to Operating Partnership ("OP") unit holders) and capital expenditures related to tenant improvements and redevelopment activities. We believe that our retained cash flow from operations along with availability under our revolving credit facility is sufficient to meet these obligations.

We have no additional mortgages maturing until January 2017. As opportunities arise and market conditions permit, we will look to repay maturing mortgages by issuing unsecured debt, utilizing cash flow from operating activities or funding from availability under our credit facility.

We will continue to pursue the strategy of selling mature properties or non-core assets that no longer meet our investment criteria. Our ability to obtain acceptable selling prices and satisfactory terms and financing will impact the timing of future sales. We anticipate using net proceeds from the sale of properties to reduce outstanding debt and support current and future growth initiatives.

We continually search for investment opportunities that may require additional capital and/or liquidity. As of June 30, 2016, we had no proposed property acquisitions or dispositions under contract.

Long-Term Liquidity Requirements

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay indebtedness at maturity, potential acquisitions of properties, redevelopment of existing properties, the development of land and non-recurring capital expenditures.

As of June 30, 2016, $323.9 million was available to be borrowed under our unsecured revolving credit facility subject to continuing compliance with maintenance covenants that may affect availability.

For the six months ended June 30, 2016, our cash flows were as follows compared to the same period in 2015:



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2016			2015
	(In thousands)
Cash provided by operating activities	$	53,919		$	44,183
Cash provided by (used in) investing activities	39,901			(13,075		)
Cash used in financing activities	(96,095		)	(33,511		)

Operating Activities

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $9.7 million in 2016 compared to 2015 primarily due to:


•	Shopping center operating income increased $9.6 million as a result of acquisitions, leasing and redevelopment activity;


•	an overall increase in accounts receivable and net other assets of $2.1 million;


•	higher net interest expense of approximately $2.0 million due to higher average loan balances as a result of acquisitions; and


•	higher long-term and share-based compensation expense of $0.4 million.

Page 21 of 32

Investing Activities

Net cash from investing activities increased $53.0 million compared to 2015 primarily due to increased net proceeds from sales of real estate partially offset by increased development and capital improvements activities.

Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities increased $62.6 million primarily due to:


•	decreased proceeds, net of costs, from the issuance of common stock of $17.3 million in 2015; and


•	higher cash dividends to common shareholders of $2.0 million due to the increase in the number of common shares outstanding and a 5.0% increase in our quarterly dividend compared to 2015; partly offset by


•	an increase in net debt activity of $43.1 million.

Dividends and Equity

We currently qualify, and intend to continue to qualify in the future as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code”). Under the Code, as a REIT we must distribute to our shareholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income annually, excluding net capital gains. Distributions paid are at the discretion of our Board and depend on our actual net income available to common shareholders, cash flow, financial condition, capital requirements, restrictions in financing arrangements, the annual distribution requirements under REIT provisions of the Code and such other factors as our Board deems relevant.

On May 16, 2016, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash dividend distribution of $0.21 per common share paid to common shareholders of record as of June 20, 2016, a 5.0% increase from the same period in 2015. Future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our Board of Trustees. On an annual basis, we intend to make distributions to shareholders of at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, excluding net capital gains, in order to maintain our qualification as a REIT. On an annualized basis, our current dividend is above our estimated minimum required distribution.

Distributions paid by us are funded from cash flows from operating activities. To the extent that cash flows from operating activities are insufficient to pay total distributions for any period, alternative funding sources such as sales of real estate and bank borrowings may be used. We expect that distribution requirements for an entire year will be met with cash flows from operating activities.

Additionally, we declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.90625 per preferred share to preferred shareholders of record as of June 20, 2016, unchanged from the per share dividend declared for the same period in 2015.



	Six Months Ended June 30,

Total distributions	(37,635		)	(35,869		)

Surplus	$	16,284		$	8,314

In June 2016, we terminated our previous controlled equity offering arrangement and commenced a new distribution agreement that registered up to 8.0 million common shares for issuance from time to time, in our sole discretion. For the six months ended June 30, 2016, we did not issue any common shares through either arrangement. The shares issuable in the new distribution agreement are registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on our registration statement on Form S-3 (No. 333-211925).

Debt

At June 30, 2016, we had interest rate swap derivative instruments in effect for an aggregate notional amount of $270.0 million converting a portion of our floating rate corporate debt to fixed rate debt. After taking into account the impact of converting our variable rate debt to fixed rate debt by use of the interest rate swap agreements, at June 30, 2016, we had $54.1 million of variable rate debt outstanding.

In addition, we had $300.0 million of fixed rate mortgage loans encumbering certain consolidated properties and $460.0 million in senior unsecured notes. For further information on the fixed rate mortgages and other debt, refer to Note 5 Debt of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Real Estate Joint Ventures

We consolidate entities in which we own less than 100% equity interest if we have a controlling interest or are the primary beneficiary in a variable interest entity, as defined in the Consolidation Topic of FASB ASC 810. From time to time, we enter into joint venture arrangements from which we believe we can benefit by owning a partial interest in one or more properties.

As of June 30, 2016, we had three equity investments in unconsolidated joint ventures in which we owned 30% or less of the total ownership interest and accounted for these entities under the equity method. Refer to Note 4 Equity Investments in Unconsolidated Joint Ventures of the notes to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information.

We review our equity investments in unconsolidated entities for impairment on a venture-by-venture basis whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of the equity investment may not be recoverable. In testing for impairment of these equity investments, we primarily use cash flow models, discount rates, and capitalization rates to estimate the fair value of properties held in joint ventures, and we also estimate the fair value of the debt of the joint ventures based on borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity. Considerable judgment by management is applied when determining whether an equity invest in an unconsolidated entity is impaired and, if so, the amount of the impairment. Changes to assumptions regarding cash flows, discount rates, or capitalization rates could be material to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

We are engaged by our joint ventures to provide asset management, property management, leasing and investing services for such venture’s respective properties. We receive fees for our services, including a property management fee calculated as a percentage of gross revenues received.

⁽³⁾	Variable-rate debt interest is calculated using rates at June 30, 2016.


⁽⁴⁾	Includes interest payments associated with the capital lease obligation.

We anticipate that the combination of cash on hand, cash provided from operating activities, the availability under our revolving credit facility ($323.9 million at June 30, 2016 subject to compliance with covenants), our access to the capital markets, and the sale of existing properties will satisfy our expected working capital and capital expenditure requirements through at least the next 12 months. Although we believe that the combination of factors discussed will provide sufficient liquidity, no assurance can be given.

At June 30, 2016, we did not have any contractual obligations that required or allowed settlement, in whole or in part, with consideration other than cash.

Mortgages and notes payable

See the analysis of our debt included in “Liquidity and Capital Resources.”

Employment Contracts

At June 30, 2016, we had employment contracts with our Chief Executive, Chief Financial and Chief Operating Officers that contain minimum guaranteed compensation. All other employees are subject to at-will employment.

Operating and Capital Leases

We lease office space for our corporate headquarters under an operating lease that expires in August 2019.

We have a capital lease at our Buttermilk Towne Center with the City of Crescent Springs, Kentucky. The lease provides for fixed annual payments of $0.1 million through maturity in December 2032, at which time we can acquire the center for one dollar.

Construction Costs

In connection with the development and expansion of various shopping centers as of June 30, 2016, we have entered into agreements for construction activities with an aggregate cost of approximately $12.2 million.

Page 24 of 32

Planned Capital Spending

We are focused on our core strengths of enhancing the value of our existing portfolio of shopping centers through successful leasing efforts and the completion of our development and redevelopment projects currently in process.

In addition to the construction agreements of approximately $12.2 million we have entered into as of June 30, 2016, we anticipate spending an additional $20.8 million for the remainder of 2016 for development and redevelopment projects, tenant improvements, and leasing costs. Estimates for future spending will change as new projects are approved.

Disclosures regarding planned capital spending, including estimates regarding timing of tenant openings, capital expenditures and occupancy are forward-looking statements and certain significant factors discussed elsewhere in this document and our other filings with the SEC, including our Annual Report on Form 10-K could cause the actual results to differ materially.

Capitalization

At June 30, 2016 our total market capitalization was $2.7 billion and is detailed below:



	(in thousands)
Net debt (including property-specific mortgages, unsecured revolving credit facility, term loans and capital lease obligation net of $4.4 million in cash)	$	1,020,909
Common shares, OP units, and dilutive securities based on market price of $19.61 at June 30, 2016	1,595,430
Convertible perpetual preferred shares based on market price of $70.52 at June 30, 2016	130,391
Total market capitalization	$	2,746,730

Net debt to total market capitalization	37.2		%

Outstanding letters of credit issued under our revolving credit facility totaled approximately $0.1 million at June 30, 2016.

At June 30, 2016, the non-controlling interest in the Operating Partnership was approximately 2.3%. The OP Units outstanding may, under certain circumstances, be exchanged for our common shares of beneficial interest on a one-for-one basis. We, as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, have the option, but not the obligation, to settle exchanged OP Units held by others in cash based on the current trading price of our common shares of beneficial interest. Assuming the exchange of all OP Units, there would have been approximately 81.2 million common shares of beneficial interest outstanding at June 30, 2016, with a market value of approximately $1.6 billion.

Inflation

Inflation has been relatively low in recent years and has not had a significant detrimental impact on the results of our operations. Should inflation rates increase in the future, substantially all of our tenant leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the negative impact of inflation in the near term. Such lease provisions include clauses that require our tenants to reimburse us for real estate taxes and many of the operating expenses we incur. Also, many of our leases provide for periodic increases in base rent which are either of a fixed amount or based on changes in the consumer price index and/or percentage rents (where the tenant pays us rent based on percentage of its sales). Significant inflation rate increases over a prolonged period of time may have a material adverse impact on our business.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Certain of our key performance indicators are considered non-GAAP financial measures. Management uses these measures along with our GAAP financial statements in order to evaluate our operations results. We believe these additional measures provide users of our financial information additional comparable indicators of our industry, as well as, our performance.

Funds from Operations

We consider funds from operations, also known as “FFO”, to be an appropriate supplemental measure of the financial performance of an equity REIT. Under the NAREIT definition, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable property and excluding impairment provisions on depreciable real estate or on investments in non-consolidated investees that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the investee, plus depreciation and amortization, (excluding amortization of financing costs). Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.

Page 25 of 32

Also, we consider “Operating FFO” a meaningful, additional measure of financial performance because it excludes acquisition costs and periodic items such as gains (or losses) from sales of land and impairment provisions on land available for development or sale, bargain purchase gains, and gains or losses on extinguishment of debt that are not adjusted under the current NAREIT definition of FFO. We provide a reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO to Operating FFO. FFO and Operating FFO should not be considered alternatives to GAAP net income available to common shareholders or as alternatives to cash flow as measures of liquidity.

While we consider FFO and Operating FFO useful measures for reviewing our comparative operating and financial performance between periods or to compare our performance to different REITs, our computations of FFO and Operating FFO may differ from the computations utilized by other real estate companies, and therefore, may not be comparable.

We recognize the limitations of FFO and Operating FFO when compared to GAAP net income available to common shareholders. FFO and Operating FFO do not represent amounts available for needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. In addition, FFO and Operating FFO do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the payment of dividends. FFO and Operating FFO are simply used as additional indicators of our operating performance.

⁽¹⁾	Amount included in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures.


⁽²⁾	The gain represents the write off of costs associated with our equity investment in a joint venture that was triggered by the sale of the venture's only property.


⁽³⁾	The total non-controlling interest reflects OP units convertible 1:1 into common shares.

⁽⁴⁾

Series D convertible preferred shares are paid annual dividends of $6.7 million and are currently convertible into approximately 6.6 million shares of common stock. They are dilutive only when earnings or FFO exceed approximately $0.26 per diluted share per quarter, which was the case for FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2016 and 2015. The conversion ratio is subject to adjustment based upon a number of factors, and such adjustment could affect the dilutive impact of the Series D convertible preferred shares on FFO and earnings per share in future periods.


⁽⁵⁾	The denominator to calculate diluted earnings per share excludes shares issuable upon conversion of Operating Partnership Units and preferred shares for all periods reported.

Same Property Operating Income

Same Property Operating Income ("Same Property NOI") is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of real estate companies' operating performance. Same Property NOI is considered by management to be a relevant performance measure of our operations because it includes only the NOI of comparable properties for the reporting period. Same Property NOI excludes acquisitions, dispositions, non-retail and redevelopment properties. Same Property NOI is calculated using consolidated operating income and adjusted to exclude management and other fee income, depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, provision for impairment and non-comparable income/expense adjustments such as straight-line rents, lease termination fees, above/below market rents, and other non-comparable operating income and expense adjustments.

Acquisition and redevelopment properties removed from the pool will not be added until owned and operated or construction is complete for the entirety of both periods being compared.

Same Property NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income in accordance with GAAP or as a measure of liquidity. Our method of calculating Same Property NOI may differ from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

The following is a summary of our wholly owned properties by classification:



	Three Months Ended	Six Months Ended
Property Designation	June 30, 2016	June 30, 2016
Same property	55	54
Acquisitions ⁽¹⁾	7	7
Non-retail properties ⁽²⁾	1	1
Redevelopment ⁽³⁾	4	5
Total wholly owned properties	67	67

⁽¹⁾Properties were not owned in both comparable periods.

⁽³⁾ Properties under construction.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We have exposure to interest rate risk on our variable rate debt obligations. Based on market conditions, we may manage our exposure to interest rate risk by entering into interest rate swap agreements to hedge our variable rate debt. We are not subject to any foreign currency exchange rate risk or commodity price risk, or other material rate or price risks. Based on our debt and interest rates and interest rate swap agreements in effect at June 30, 2016, a 100 basis point change in interest rates would impact our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $0.5 million annually. We believe that a 100 basis point increase in interest rates would increase the fair value of our total outstanding debt by approximately $5.4 million at June 30, 2016.

We had derivative instruments outstanding with an aggregate notional amount of $270.0 million as of June 30, 2016. The agreements provided for swapping one-month LIBOR to fixed interest rates ranging from 1.22% to 2.15% and had expirations ranging from April 2016 to May 2023. The following table sets forth information as of June 30, 2016 concerning our long-term debt obligations, including principal cash flows by scheduled amortization payment and scheduled maturity, weighted average interest rates of maturing amounts and fair market value:



	2016			2017			2018			2019			2020			Thereafter			Total			Fair Value
(In thousands)
Fixed-rate debt	$	13,433		$	129,096		$	39,132		$	5,860		$	102,269		$	680,255		$	970,045		$	998,269
Average interest rate	5.80		%	5.49		%	4.72		%	6.76		%	3.90		%	4.18		%	4.39		%	3.80		%
Variable-rate debt	$	—		$	—		$	26,000		$	—		$	—		$	28,125		$	54,125		$	54,125
Average interest rate	—			—			1.82		%	—			—			3.94		%	2.92		%	2.92		%

We estimated the fair value of our fixed rate mortgages using a discounted cash flow analysis, based on borrowing rates for similar types of borrowing arrangements with the same remaining maturity. Considerable judgment is required to develop estimated fair values of financial instruments. The table incorporates only those exposures that exist at June 30, 2016 and does not consider those exposures or positions which could arise after that date or firm commitments as of such date. Therefore, the information presented therein has limited predictive value. Our actual interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during the period and on market interest rates at that time.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (“Exchange Act”), such as this report on Form 10-Q, is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the designed control objectives, and therefore management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

We carried out an assessment as of June 30, 2016 of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. This assessment was done under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer. Based on such evaluation, our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of June 30, 2016.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the quarter ended June 30, 2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
