NOTE 1        ORGANIZATION

Readers of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this "Quarterly Report") should refer to the Company's (as defined below) audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 which are included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K (our "Annual Report") for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2018 (Commission File No. 001-34948), as certain footnote disclosures which would substantially duplicate those contained in our Annual Report have been omitted from this Quarterly Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments necessary for a fair presentation (which include only normal recurring adjustments) have been included in this Quarterly Report. Unless context otherwise requires, capitalized terms used, but not defined in this Quarterly Report, have the same meanings as in our Annual Report.
 
General

Brookfield Property REIT Inc. (referred to herein as "BPR or the "Company"), formerly known as GGP Inc. ("GGP"), a Delaware corporation, was organized in July 2010 and is an externally managed real estate investment trust, referred to as a "REIT".

On March 26, 2018, GGP and Brookfield Property Partners L.P. ("BPY") entered into a definitive agreement (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which BPY would acquire all of the shares of GGP common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that BPY and its affiliates did not already own through a series of transactions (collectively, the "BPY Transaction"), including, among other things, the exchange of all shares of GGP common stock owned by certain affiliates of BPY and any subsidiary of GGP for Series B Preferred Stock (the "Class B Exchange") and the payment of a special dividend payable to certain holders of record of GGP common stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (the "Pre-Closing Dividend").

BPR is an indirect subsidiary of BPY, one of the world's largest commercial real estate companies. In these notes, the terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to BPR and its subsidiaries. BPR, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, is an owner and operator of retail properties. As of June 30, 2019, we were the owner, either entirely or with joint venture partners, of 123 retail properties in the United States.

Substantially all of our business is conducted through BPR OP, LP ("BPROP"), which we sometimes refer to herein as the Operating Partnership, and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2019, BPR held approximately 99% of the common equity of BPROP, while the remaining 1% was held by limited partners and certain previous contributors of properties to BPROP.

In addition to holding ownership interests in various joint ventures, the Operating Partnership generally conducts its operations through BPR REIT Services LLC. ("BPRRS"), Brookfield Properties Retail Inc. ("BPRI") and General Growth Management, Inc. ("GGMI"). Each of GGMI and BPRI is a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"), which earn real estate management, leasing, development, and financing fees for other ancillary services for a majority of our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates (defined below) and for substantially all of our Consolidated Properties (defined below). BPRI also serves as a contractor to GGMI for these services. BPRRS generally provides financial, accounting, tax, legal, development, and other services to our Consolidated Properties.

We refer to our ownership interests in properties in which we own a majority or controlling interest and are consolidated under accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") as the "Consolidated Properties." We also own interests in certain properties through joint venture entities in which we own a noncontrolling interest ("Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates") and we refer to those properties as the "Unconsolidated Properties".

NOTE 2        SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Principles of Consolidation and Basis of Presentation

The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of BPR, our subsidiaries and joint ventures in which we have a controlling interest. For consolidated joint ventures, the noncontrolling partner's share of the assets, liabilities and operations of the joint ventures (generally computed as the joint venture partner's ownership percentage) is included in noncontrolling interests in consolidated real estate affiliates as permanent equity of the Company. Intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Noncontrolling interests are included on our Consolidated Balance Sheets related to the Common,

(Unaudited)


Preferred, and LTIP Units of BPROP and are presented either as redeemable noncontrolling interests or as noncontrolling interests in our permanent equity. The Operating Partnership and each of our consolidated joint ventures are variable interest entities as the limited partners do not have substantive kick-out rights or substantive participating rights. However, as the Company holds a majority voting interest in the Operating Partnership and our consolidated joint ventures, it qualifies for the exemption from providing certain of the disclosure requirements associated with variable interest entities.

We operate in a single reportable segment, which includes the operation, development and management of retail and other rental properties. Our portfolio is targeted to a range of market sizes and consumer tastes. Each of our operating properties is considered a separate operating segment, as each property earns revenues and incurs expenses, individual operating results are reviewed and discrete financial information is available. The Company's chief operating decision maker is comprised of a team of several members of executive management who use property operations in assessing segment operating performance. We do not distinguish or group our consolidated operations based on geography, size or type for purposes of making property operating decisions. Our operating properties have similar economic characteristics and provide similar products and services to our tenants. There are no individual operating segments that are greater than 10% of combined revenue or combined assets. When assessing segment operating performance, certain non-cash and non-comparable items such as straight-line rent, depreciation expense and intangible asset and liability amortization are excluded from property operations, which are a result of GGP's emergence from bankruptcy, acquisition accounting and other capital contribution or restructuring events. Further, all material operations are within the United States and no customer or tenant comprises more than 10% of consolidated revenues. As a result, the Company's operating properties are aggregated into a single reportable segment.

Reclassifications

Components of revenue that were previously reported as minimum rents, tenant recoveries, and overage rents have been combined and reported as rental revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. This change in presentation was done to improve comparability by conforming prior year presentation to the current year presentation required under Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842. Total revenues of the Company are unchanged by this reclassification. Refer to Note 7 for further information.

Acquisitions of Operating Properties (Note 3)

The fair values of tangible assets are determined on an "if vacant" basis. The "if vacant" fair value is allocated to land, where applicable, buildings, equipment and tenant improvements based on comparable sales and other relevant information with respect to the property. Specifically, the "if vacant" value of the buildings and equipment was calculated using a cost approach utilizing published guidelines for current replacement cost or actual construction costs for similar, recently developed properties; and an income approach. Assumptions used in the income approach to the value of buildings include: capitalization and discount rates, lease-up time, market rents, make ready costs, land value, and site improvement value.

The estimated fair value of in-place tenant leases includes lease origination costs (costs we would have incurred to lease the property to the current occupancy level of the property) and the lost revenues during the period necessary to lease-up from vacant to current occupancy level. Such estimates include the fair value of leasing commissions, legal costs and tenant coordination costs that would be incurred to lease the property to this occupancy level. Additionally, we evaluate the time period over which such occupancy level would be achieved and include an estimate of the net operating costs (primarily real estate taxes, insurance, and utilities) incurred during the lease-up period, which generally ranges up to one year. The fair value of the acquired in-place tenant leases is included in the balance of buildings and equipment and amortized over the remaining lease term for each tenant.

Identifiable intangible assets and liabilities are calculated for above-market and below-market tenant and ground leases where we are the lessor or the lessee. The difference between the contractual rental rates and our estimate of market rental rates is measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases, including significantly below-market renewal options for which exercise of the renewal option appears to be reasonably certain. The remaining term of leases with renewal options at terms significantly below market reflect the assumed exercise of such below-market renewal options and assume the amortization period would coincide with the extended lease term.

The gross asset balances of the in-place value of tenant leases are included in buildings and equipment in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Revenue Recognition and Related Matters

Accounting for real estate sales distinguishes between sales to a customer or non-customer for purposes of revenue recognition. Once we, as the seller, determine that we have a contract, we will identify each distinct non-financial asset promised to the counter-party and whether the counter-party obtains control and transfers risks and rewards of ownership of each non-financial asset to determine if we should derecognize the asset.

Leases
 
We have entered into lease arrangements for the land and buildings at certain properties, as well as for the use of office space in Chicago, Illinois. We account for leases under Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases ("Topic 842" or "the new leasing standard"). We elected to use the "package of practical expedients", as discussed below, which allowed us not to reassess

(Unaudited)


under the new leasing standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. We elected to recast prior-period comparative information presented in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to rental revenues.

The new leasing standard requires lessees to record a right-of-use ("ROU") asset and a related lease liability for the rights and obligations associated with all lessee leases. Topic 842 also modified the lease classification criteria through the elimination of "bright-line" tests, the removal of historical real estate specific lease provisions, and changes to lessor accounting to align with the new revenue recognition standard (ASC 606).

On the adoption date, we recognized lease liabilities of $73.4 million and ROU assets of $118.9 million for operating leases of Consolidated Properties for which we are the lessee included in accounts payable and accrued expenses and prepaid expenses and other assets, respectively, on the Consolidated Balance Sheet and there was no cumulative effect on retained earnings. In order to determine the lease liabilities recognized upon adoption, we discounted the remaining lease payments using our incremental borrowing rates ("IBR") at January 1, 2019. The weighted average rate applied was 7.36%. The ROU asset balance was initially measured as the lease liability amount adjusted by the amount of prepaid or accrued lease payments, deferred straight-line lease liabilities, and intangible ground lease assets and liabilities relating to leases recognized on our Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2018. In transition, an adjustment of $45.4 million was made to the ROU asset balance to derecognize $52.8 million of below-market ground lease intangible assets (within prepaid expenses and other assets) and $7.4 million of accrued straight-line rent (within accounts payable and accrued expenses) which are now part of the total ROU assets previously recorded on our Consolidated Balance Sheet.

In addition to the "package of practical expedients", we elected to use the following additional practical expedients permitted by the new leasing standard:
The transition practical expedient that allows us to carry forward our historical accounting treatment for land easements on existing agreements.
The short-term lease election that allows a lessee not to apply the balance sheet recognition requirements to leases with a term of 12 months or less; lease payments associated with these leases are recognized on a straight-line basis as an expense over the lease term and are not material.
The practical expedient which allows a lessee to not separate lease and non-lease components. We have elected to apply this election to all classes of underlying assets.
The Company did not elect to apply the practical expedients related to hindsight or assessing impairment of ROU assets.

Lessee arrangements (policy applicable from January 1, 2019)
 
To account for leases for which we are the lessee under the new leasing standard, contracts must be analyzed upon inception to determine if the arrangement is, or contains, a lease. A lease conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. Lease classification tests and measurement procedures are performed at the lease commencement date. Differences in lease classification will affect only the pattern and classification of expense recognition in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).
 
The lease liability is initially measured as the present value of the lease payments over the lease term, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate is readily determinable; otherwise, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate is used. The lease liability balance is subsequently amortized using the effective interest method. The incremental borrowing rate is determined using an approach based on the rate of interest that the lessee would pay to borrow on a collateralized basis over a similar term at an amount equal to the lease payments in a similar economic environment. We utilized a market-based approach to estimate the IBR for each individual lease. The approach required significant judgment. Therefore, we utilized different data sets to estimate base IBRs via an analysis of (i) yields on outstanding public debt of BPR, as well as comparable companies, (ii) observable mortgage rates, and (iii) unlevered property yields and discount rates. We then applied adjustments to account for considerations related to (i) term and (ii) security that may not be fully incorporated by the aforementioned data sets. Based on individual characteristics of each lease, we selected an IBR taking into consideration how each data approach and adjustments thereto incorporate term, currency and security.

(Unaudited)


The lease term is the noncancelable period of the lease, and includes any renewal and termination options we are reasonably certain to exercise. The reasonably certain threshold is evaluated at lease commencement and is typically met if substantial economic incentives or termination penalties are identified.
Lease payments measured at the commencement date include fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments dependent on a rate or index (using the index or rate in effect at lease commencement), any purchase option the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising the termination option. Fully variable lease payments without an in-substance fixed component are not included in the measurement of the lease liability and are recognized in the period in which the underlying contingency is resolved.
The lease liability is remeasured when the contract is modified, upon the resolution of a contingency such that variable payments become fixed or if our assessment of exercising an extension, termination or purchase option changes. Once remeasured, an adjustment is made to the ROU asset. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in earnings.

The ROU asset balance is initially measured as the lease liability amount, adjusted for any lease payments made prior to the commencement date, initial direct costs, estimated costs to dismantle, remove, or restore the underlying asset and incentives received.

Our current lessee lease portfolio is comprised entirely of operating leases; however if we enter into a finance lease in the future, the new leasing standard requires us to initially recognize and measure these leases using the same method as described above for operating leases. Subsequent to initial recognition, each lease payment would be allocated between interest expense and a reduction of the lease liability. Interest expense would be recognized over the lease term using the interest method to produce a constant periodic rate of interest on the remaining balance of the liability for each period and would be included in interest expense in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). The ROU asset would be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term, with depreciation recorded in depreciation and amortization in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

The ROU assets in our operating leases are evaluated for impairment in a manner similar to our operating properties, as described below under "Impairment".

Lessor arrangements (policy applicable from January 1, 2019)
 
At the inception of a new lease arrangement, including new leases that arise from amendments, we assess the terms and conditions to determine the proper lease classification. When the terms of a lease effectively transfer control of the underlying asset, the lease is classified as a sales-type lease. When a lease does not effectively transfer control of the underlying asset to the lessee, but we obtain a guarantee for the value of the asset from a third party, we classify the lease as a direct financing lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases. Control of the underlying asset is transferred to the lessee if any of the following criteria are met: (i) transfer of ownership to the lessee prior to or shortly after the end of the lease term, (ii) lessee has an option to purchase the underlying property that the lessee is reasonably certain to exercise, (iii) the lease term is for the major part of the underlying property’s remaining economic life, (iv) the present value of the sum of lease payments and any residual value guaranteed by the lessee that is not already reflected in the lease payments is equal to or exceeds substantially all of the fair value of the leased property or (v) the underlying property is of such a specialized nature that it is expected to have no alternative use at the end of the lease term. As of June 30, 2019, we do not have any material sales-type or direct financing leases.
 
For operating leases with minimum scheduled rent increases, we recognize rental income on a straight‑line basis, including the effect of any free rent periods, over the lease term when collectability of lease payments (and, if applicable, any amounts necessary to satisfy a residual value guarantee) is probable. Variable lease payments are recognized as rental income in the period when the changes in facts and circumstances on which the variable lease payments are based occur. Variable lease payments include overage rent, which is paid by a tenant when the tenant's sales exceed an agreed upon minimum amount, is recognized once tenant sales exceed contractual tenant lease thresholds and is calculated by multiplying the sales in excess of the minimum amount by a percentage defined in the lease.

Our leases also contain provisions for tenants to reimburse us for real estate taxes and insurance, as well as for other property operating expenses, marketing costs, and utilities, which are considered to be non-lease components. These tenant reimbursements are most often established in the leases or in less frequent cases computed based upon a formula. We have elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components from the lease component for all classes of underlying assets and determined that the lease component is the predominant component in the contract; therefore, these recoveries are recognized in a manner similar to minimum rents and variable rents within rental revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Recognizing rental and related income on a straight-line basis results in a difference in the timing of revenue recognition from what is contractually due from tenants. Straight-line rents are recorded in accounts receivable, net in our Consolidated Balance Sheet. For leases where collectability of the lease payments is probable, we establish a general allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of accounts receivable, net, including straight-line rents, which is estimated to be uncollectible based on our previous recovery experience. Changes in the general allowance are recognized in rental income on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). If we determine that collectability of the lease payments is not probable, we record a current-period adjustment to rental income to reduce cumulative income recognized since lease commencement to the amount of cash collected from the lessee. Future revenue recognition is limited to amounts paid by the lessee. Generally, a lease is returned to accrual status when all delinquent payments become current under the terms of the lease agreement and collectability of the remaining contractual lease payments is reasonably probable.

Rental revenues also includes lease termination income collected from tenants to allow for the tenant to vacate their space prior to their scheduled termination dates, as well as accretion related to above-market and below-market tenant leases on acquired properties and properties that were recorded at fair value at the emergence from bankruptcy.

In leasing tenant space, we may provide funding to the lessee through a tenant allowance. To account for a tenant allowance, we determine whether the allowance represents funding for the construction of leasehold improvements and evaluate the control and ownership of such improvements. If we are considered the owner of the leasehold improvements, we capitalize the amount of the tenant allowance and depreciate it over the shorter of the useful life of the leasehold improvements or the related lease term. If the tenant allowance represents a payment for a purpose other than funding leasehold improvements, or in the event we are not considered the owner of the leasehold improvements, the allowance is capitalized to deferred expenses and considered to be a lease incentive and is recognized over the lease term as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis.

Deferred expenses (policy applicable from January 1, 2019)

The new leasing standard defines initial direct costs as incremental costs of a lease that would not have been incurred if the lease had not been obtained. These initial direct costs (consisting primarily of leasing commissions paid to third parties) are recognized as deferred expenses on our Consolidated Balance Sheet and are amortized using the straight-line method over the life of the leases. Other leasing costs which do not meet the definition of initial direct costs (consisting primarily of internal legal and leasing overhead costs) are expensed as incurred and included in property management and other costs in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

Policy applicable to periods prior to January 1, 2019

Our accounting policy for leases in which we are the lessor or lessee prior to the adoption of the new leasing standard can be found in our audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018, which are included in our Annual Report.
 
Management Fees and Other Corporate Revenues

Management fees and other corporate revenues primarily represent real estate management and leasing fees, development fees, financing fees and fees for other ancillary services performed for the benefit of certain of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates. Management fees are reported at 100% of the revenue earned from the joint venture in management fees and other corporate revenues on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Our share of the management fee expense incurred by the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates is reported within equity in income of Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) and in property management and other costs in the Condensed Combined

Following the BPY Transaction, certain Brookfield Asset Management Inc. ("BAM")-owned entities provide certain management and administration services to BPR. BPR will pay an annual base management fee to BAM equal to 1.25% of the total capitalization of BPR, subject to certain adjustments. For the first twelve months following closing of the BPY Transaction, BAM has agreed to waive management fees payable by BPR. There were no amounts due pursuant to these services for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Following the BPY Transaction, an affiliate of BAM is entitled to receive incentive distributions based on an amount by which quarterly distributions exceed specified target levels. There were no such amounts payable for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019.

Impairment

Operating Properties
 
We regularly review our Consolidated Properties for potential impairment indicators whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount may not be recoverable. Impairment indicators are assessed separately for each property and include, but are not limited to, significant decreases in real estate property net operating income, significant decreases in occupancy, debt maturities, changes in management's intent with respect to the properties and prevailing market conditions.
 
If an indicator of potential impairment exists, the property is tested for recoverability by comparing its carrying amount to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. Although the carrying amount may exceed the estimated fair value of certain properties, a real estate asset is only considered to be impaired when its carrying amount cannot be recovered through estimated future undiscounted cash flows. To the extent an impairment provision is determined to be necessary, the excess of the carrying amount of the property over its estimated fair value is expensed to operations. In addition, the impairment provision is allocated proportionately to adjust the carrying amount of the asset group. The adjusted carrying amount, which represents the new cost basis of the property, is depreciated over the remaining useful life of the property.

Although we may market a property for sale, there can be no assurance that the transaction will be complete until the sale is finalized. However, GAAP requires us to utilize the Company's expected holding period of our properties when assessing recoverability. If we cannot recover the carrying value of these properties within the planned holding period, we will estimate the fair values of the assets and record impairment charges for properties when the estimated fair value is less than their carrying value.

Impairment indicators for pre-development costs, which are typically costs incurred during the beginning stages of a potential development and construction in progress, are assessed by project and include, but are not limited to, significant changes in the Company's plans with respect to the project, significant changes in projected completion dates, tenant demand, anticipated revenues or cash flows, development costs, market factors and sustainability of development projects.

Impairment charges are recorded in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) when the carrying value of a property is not recoverable and it exceeds the estimated fair value of the property, which can occur in accounting periods preceding disposition and/or in the period of disposition.

During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recorded a $184.3 million impairment charge on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to one operating property as a result of a significant decrease in market leasing assumptions.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)


During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recorded a $38.4 million impairment charge on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) related to one operating property that had non-recourse debt maturing during 2019 that exceeded the fair value of the operating property. No provisions for impairment were recognized for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Changes in economic and operating conditions that occur subsequent to our review of recoverability of our properties could impact the assumptions used in that assessment and could result in future impairment if assumptions regarding those properties differ from actual results.

Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates

A series of operating losses of an investee or other factors may indicate that an other-than-temporary decline in value of our investment in an Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliate has occurred. The investment in each of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates is evaluated for valuation declines below the carrying amount. Accordingly, in addition to the property-specific impairment analysis that we performed for such joint ventures (as part of our operating property impairment process described above), we also considered whether there were other-than-temporary declines with respect to the carrying values of our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to significant concentrations of credit risk consist principally of cash and cash equivalents. We are exposed to credit risk with respect to cash held at various financial institutions and access to our credit facility. Our credit risk exposure with regard to our cash and the $1.5 billion available under our credit facility is spread among a diversified group of investment grade financial institutions. We had $629.5 million and $387.0 million outstanding under our credit facility as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2016-02, Leases. This new guidance, including related ASUs that have been subsequently issued, was effective January 1, 2019, and required lessees to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset, initially measured at the present value of lease payments, for both operating and finance leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees were permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets. The guidance allowed lessors and lessees to make an accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from lease components. The guidance also provided an optional transition method which allowed entities to initially apply the new guidance in the period of adoption, recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, if necessary. The Company elected to apply the alternative transition method and no cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was deemed necessary to record.

The Company adopted the new standard on January 1, 2019 and applied the new guidance as of that date. In addition, the Company has presented all income as a single line item within "rental revenues" in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the current and comparative period. Refer to the Reclassifications section of Note 2 for additional detail. The Company elected to use the "package of practical expedients", which allowed the Company to not reassess under the new standard prior conclusions about lease identification, lease classification, and initial direct costs. The Company did not make any adjustments to the opening balance of retained earnings upon adoption of the new standard given the nature of the impacts and other transition practical expedients elected by the Company. The leases section above and Note 7 includes a discussion of the effect of the adoption of the new standard.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, Financial Instruments - Credit Losses, which changes the model for the measurement of credit losses on financial instruments. Specifically, the amendments in the ASU replace the incurred loss impairment methodology in current GAAP with a methodology that reflects expected credit losses and requires consideration of a broader range of reasonable and supportable information to inform credit loss estimates. The amendments in this ASU will be effective for the Company January 1, 2020. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement. This new guidance is effective January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted, and provides new, and in some cases eliminates or modifies the existing disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. Public entities will be required to disclose the following: (i) the changes in unrealized gains and losses for the period included in other comprehensive income for recurring Level 3 fair value measurements held at the end of the reporting period and (ii) the range and weighted average of significant unobservable inputs used to develop Level 3 fair value measurements. In addition, public entities will no longer be required to disclose the following: (i) the amount of and reasons for transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, (ii) the policy for timing of transfers between levels and (iii) the valuation processes for Level 3 fair value measurements. The new pronouncement also clarifies and modifies certain existing provisions, including eliminating "at a minimum" from the phrase "an entity shall disclose at a minimum" to promote the appropriate exercise of discretion by entities when considering fair value measurement disclosures and clarifying that materiality is an appropriate consideration when evaluating disclosure requirements. The Company is evaluating the potential impact of this pronouncement on its consolidated financial statements.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions. These estimates and assumptions affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. For example, estimates and assumptions have been made with respect to allocating the purchase price of real estate acquisitions, the useful lives of assets, capitalization of development and leasing costs, provision for income taxes, recoverable amounts of receivables and deferred taxes, provision for loan loss, initial valuations and related amortization periods of deferred costs and intangibles, particularly with respect to acquisitions, impairment of long-lived assets, litigation related accruals and disclosures and fair value of debt. Actual results could differ from these and other estimates.

NOTE 3        ACQUISITIONS, SALES AND JOINT VENTURE ACTIVITY

On April 19, 2019, BPR Cumulus LLC (an indirect subsidiary of the Company) purchased 1,250,000 shares of Series F Convertible Preferred Stock in Pinstripes, Inc. (par value $0.01 per share) at a price of $8.00 per share, for a $10.0 million total investment, resulting in a 7.6% ownership interest in Pinstripes, Inc. The investment is accounted for using the cost method as the Company has neither control nor significant influence over Pinstripes, Inc. and is included in Investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

In connection with the formation of the BPR-FF JV LLC joint venture described below, the Company agreed to use reasonable efforts to cause a transfer to BPR-FF JV LLC of the legal rights it held in the Seritage Venture at Coronado Center Mall at an agreed upon value of $53.1 million. On April 9, 2019, the Company transferred its rights in the Sears Anchor Parcel at Coronado Center Mall to Coronado Center LLC. No gain or loss was recognized on the transaction.

On January 7, 2019, the Company completed the sale of our 12.0% interest in Bayside Marketplace for a sales price of $42.0 million. Due to cumulative distributions received in excess of its investment, the Company had a liability balance associated with its investment in Bayside Marketplace. Accordingly, the Company recognized a gain of $104.4 million included in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates - gain on investment on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2019.

The Company entered into a series of separate transactions on August 27, 2018 as a result of the BPY Transaction as follows:

The BPR-FF JV LLC joint venture was formed with Brookfield Real Estate Partners F LP. The Company contributed properties and recognized a gain from the change in control of the investment properties and other, net of $1.4 billion for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, the Company recognized a gain in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates - gain on investment of $18.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Joint ventures were formed with the Teachers Insurance and Annuity Association of America. The Company contributed properties and recognized a gain from the change in control of the investment properties and other, net of $943.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. In addition, the Company recognized a gain in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates - gain on investment of $18.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Joint ventures were formed with CBRE Global Investment Partners. The Company contributed properties and recognized a gain from the change in control of the investment properties and other, net of $454.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Joint ventures were formed with the California Public Employees' Retirement System. The Company contributed properties and recognized a gain in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates - gain on investment of $440.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.

A new joint venture, BPY Retail Holdings LLC, was formed with an institutional investor. As a result of this investment, the institutional investor owns a noncontrolling interest in all retail assets of the Company, as all retail assets are wholly or partially owned by the Operating Partnership.

On January 29, 2018, we completed the sale of a 49.49% joint venture interest in an anchor box at Oakbrook Center to our joint venture partner for a sales price of $44.7 million, which resulted in a gain of $12.7 million recognized in gain from changes in control of investment properties and other, net for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

On September 15, 2016, joint ventures we formed with Simon Property Group and Authentic Brands Group LLC ("ABG") acquired Aeropostale, Inc. ("Aeropostale") for $80.0 million in total cash which included cash for working capital requirements of the retail business. The intellectual property and brand related assets were assigned to the Aero IpCo, LLC venture ("IPCO") and the assets and liabilities necessary to run the stores were assigned to the Aero OpCo, LLC venture. In connection with the transaction, our total investment was $20.4 million of cash contributed to the ventures for an effective ownership of approximately 26% in the two joint ventures. Aeropostale is a tenant at certain properties for which we receive rental income included in rental revenues on the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

On December 29, 2017, we sold approximately 54% of our interest in IPCO to ABG for a sales price of $16.6 million, which resulted in a gain of $12.0 million recognized in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates - gain on investment on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the year ended December 31, 2017. On March 30, 2018, ABG exercised their call right to purchase the remaining 46% of our original interest in IPCO for a sales price of $13.9 million, which resulted in a gain of $10.4 million recognized in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates - gain on investment on our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) for the six months ended June 30, 2018. In addition, we invested $30.5 million in ABG units on December 29, 2017. The investment is considered a cost method investment and is included in investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates on the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

NOTE 4        FAIR VALUE
 
Nonrecurring Fair Value Measurements

We estimate fair value relating to impairment assessments based upon discounted cash flow and direct capitalization models that include all projected cash inflows and outflows over a specific holding period, or the negotiated sales price, if applicable. Such projected cash flows are comprised of contractual rental revenues and forecasted rental revenues and expenses based upon market conditions and expectations for growth. Capitalization rates and discount rates utilized in these models are based on a reasonable range of current market rates for each property analyzed. Based upon these inputs, we determined that our valuations of properties using a discounted cash flow or a direct capitalization model were classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. For our properties for which the estimated fair value was based on negotiated sales prices, we determined that our valuation was classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The following table summarizes certain of our assets that are measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as a result of impairment charges recorded. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized $184.3 million in impairment charges. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized $38.4 million in impairment charges. There were no impairment charges recorded during the three months ended June 30, 2018.

The fair value of our junior subordinated notes approximates their carrying amount as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018. We estimated the fair value of mortgages, notes and other loans payable using Level 2 and Level 3 inputs based on recent financing transactions, estimates of the fair value of the property that serves as collateral for such debt, historical risk premiums for loans of comparable quality, current LIBOR, U.S. treasury obligation interest rates and on the discounted estimated future cash payments to be made on such debt. The discount rates estimated reflect our judgment as to what the approximate current lending rates for loans or groups of loans with similar maturities and assume that the debt is outstanding through maturity. We have utilized market information as available or present value techniques to estimate the amounts required to be disclosed. Since such amounts are estimates that are based on limited available market information for similar transactions and do not acknowledge transfer or other repayment restrictions that may exist in specific loans, it is unlikely that the estimated fair value of any such debt could be realized by immediate settlement of the obligation.

The Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates represent our investments in real estate joint ventures that are not consolidated.

Generally, we share in the profits and losses, cash flows and other matters relating to our investments in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in accordance with our respective ownership percentages. We manage most of the properties owned by these joint ventures. We account for investments in joint ventures where we own a non-controlling joint interest using either the equity method or the cost

method. If we have significant influence but not control over the investment, we utilize the equity method. If we have neither control nor significant influence, we utilize the cost method. If we control the joint venture, we account for the venture as a consolidated investment.

As of June 30, 2019, the balance of ROU assets was $68.8 million, net and lease liabilities of $78.8 million for 25 ground leases in the Condensed Combined Balance Sheets - Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates under Topic 842, included in prepaid expenses and other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively. All of these leases are operating leases; we do not have any finance leases.

Unconsolidated Mortgages, Notes and Loans Payable, and Retained Debt

Our proportionate share of the mortgages, notes and loans payable of the unconsolidated joint ventures was $7.7 billion as of June 30, 2019 and $7.6 billion as of December 31, 2018, including Retained Debt (as defined below). There can be no assurance that the Unconsolidated Properties will be able to refinance or restructure such debt on acceptable terms or otherwise, or that joint venture operations or contributions by us and/or our partners will be sufficient to repay such loans.

We have debt obligations in excess of our pro rata share of the debt for one of our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates ("Retained Debt"). This Retained Debt represents distributed debt proceeds of the Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in excess of our pro rata share of the non-recourse mortgage indebtedness. The proceeds of the Retained Debt which were distributed to us are included as a reduction in our investment in Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates. We had Retained Debt of $82.4 million at one property as of June 30, 2019, and $83.3 million as of December 31, 2018. We are obligated to contribute funds on an ongoing basis, as needed, to our Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates in amounts sufficient to pay debt service on such Retained Debt. If we do not contribute such funds, our interest in or our distributions from such Unconsolidated Real Estate Affiliates could be reduced to the extent of such deficiencies. As of June 30, 2019, we do not anticipate an inability to perform on our obligations with respect to Retained Debt.

Collateralized Mortgages, Loan Extension, Notes and Loans Payable

As of June 30, 2019, $11.8 billion of land, buildings and equipment (before accumulated depreciation) and construction in progress have been pledged as collateral for our mortgages, notes and loans payable. Certain of these consolidated secured loans, representing $1.3 billion of debt, are cross-collateralized. Although a majority of the $7.7 billion of fixed and variable rate collateralized mortgages, notes and loans payable are non-recourse, $679.7 million of such mortgages, notes and loans payable are recourse to the Company as guarantees on secured financings. In addition, certain mortgage loans contain other credit enhancement provisions which have been provided by BPR. Certain mortgages, notes and loans payable may be prepaid but are generally subject to a prepayment penalty equal to a yield-maintenance premium, defeasance or a percentage of the loan balance.

On June 28, 2019, the Company paid off loans totaling $180.0 million on 730 Fifth Avenue and extended the loan to August 27, 2019. The payoff of the notes resulted in a $90.0 million increase in notes receivable as a result of the Company's funding of the joint venture partner's share of the loan paydown in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2019 (Note 13).

On June 3, 2019, the Company closed a new loan on the Grand Canal Shoppes in the amount of $975.0 million with a 10-year fixed interest rate of 4.29%, maturing July 2, 2029. This loan replaced the previous debt of $625.0 million on the property that matured on June 3, 2019.

On April 25, 2019, the Company obtained a one-year extension of a $1.3 billion loan secured by cross-collateralized mortgages on 15 properties with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%. A principal repayment of $10.1 million was made in conjunction with the extension.

On April 9, 2019, the Company closed a new loan on three properties included in the BPR-FF JV LLC joint venture. The three properties are Coronado Center, Governor's Square and Lynnhaven Mall. These properties were previously encumbered by $462.0 million of third-party debt which was replaced by a $515.0 million loan with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 340 basis points, maturing May 1, 2024. The new loan was recorded as an extinguishment of the previous loans and allocation of the new debt to the three properties.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we refinanced a consolidated mortgage note at 685 Fifth Avenue. The prior $340.0 million variable-rate consolidated mortgage note matured on July 1, 2018 and had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. In connection with the refinancing, $100.0 million remained related to the commercial office unit and a new $275.0 million fixed-rate consolidated mortgage note with a term-to-maturity of 10.0 years and an interest rate of 4.53% was obtained on the retail unit. The $100.0 million was paid down in full in conjunction with the sale of the commercial office unit on July 13, 2018. In addition, we obtained a new fixed-rate subordinate loan at The Woodlands Mall for $62.4 million with an interest rate of 4.05% and obtained a new fixed-rate loan at 605 North Michigan Avenue for $80.0 million with an interest rate of 4.76%. We also refinanced mortgage notes totaling $117.0 million at two properties. The prior loans totaling $152.3 million had a weighted-average interest rate of 4.42%. The new loans have a weighted-average term-to-maturity of 4.3 years and a weighted-average interest rate of 5.24%. We released Columbiana Centre from the $1.4 billion term loan, substituting Columbia Mall and Quail Springs Mall, and conveyed Oak View Mall to the lender in full satisfaction of $74.7 million in outstanding debt. The Oak View transaction resulted in a $12.4 million gain on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2018.

On May 1, 2019, the Company and BPR Cumulus LLC, BPR Nimbus LLC and GGSI Sellco LLC (each, an indirect subsidiary of the Company) issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2026. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 5.75% payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2019 and will mature on May 15, 2026.

On March 25, 2019, the Company secured a $341.8 million subordinated unsecured note with Brookfield BPY Holdings Inc., a related party. The note bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.75% and is scheduled to mature on March 25, 2029. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company made a principal payment of $200.1 million. The balance at June 30, 2019 was $141.7 million. The Company borrowed an additional $70.5 million during the period with a maturity date of June 25, 2029. The balance at June 30, 2019 was $70.5 million.

The Company entered into a new credit agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of August 24, 2018 consisting of a revolving credit facility (the "Facility"), Term A-1 and A-2 loans, and a Term B loan. The Facility provides for revolving loans of up to $1.5 billion and borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The Facility is scheduled to mature in August 2022 and had outstanding borrowings of $629.5 million as of June 30, 2019. The Term A-1 Loan has a total commitment of $900.0 million, with $700.0 million attributable to BPR and $200.0 million attributable to an affiliate, and is scheduled to mature in August 2021 bearing interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The Term A-2 Loan has a total commitment of $2.0 billion and is scheduled to mature in August 2023 bearing interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The Term B Loan has a total commitment of $2.0 billion and is scheduled to mature in August 2025 bearing interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 250 basis points. The Term A-1, A-2, and B Loans are contractually obligated to be prepaid through net proceeds from property level refinances and asset sales as outlined in the Agreement. The Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants which limit material changes in the nature of our business conducted, including, but not limited to, mergers, dissolutions or liquidations, dispositions of assets, liens, incurrence of additional indebtedness, dividends, transactions with affiliates, prepayment of subordinated debt, negative pledges and changes in fiscal periods. In addition, we are required not to exceed a maximum net debt-to-value ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2019, we are not aware of any instances of non-compliance with such covenants.

Junior Subordinated Notes

GGP Capital Trust I, a Delaware statutory trust (the "Trust"), completed a private placement of $200.0 million of trust preferred securities ("TRUPS") in 2006. The Trust also issued $6.2 million of common securities to BPROP. The Trust used the proceeds from the sale of the TRUPS and common securities to purchase $206.2 million of floating rate junior subordinated notes of BPROP due 2036. Distributions on the TRUPS are equal to LIBOR plus 1.45%. Distributions are cumulative and accrue from the date of original issuance. The TRUPS mature on April 30, 2036, but may be redeemed beginning on April 30, 2011 if the Trust exercises its right to redeem a like amount of junior subordinated notes. The junior subordinated notes bear interest at LIBOR plus 1.45% and are fully recourse to the Company. We have recorded the junior subordinated notes as a liability and our common equity interest in the Trust as prepaid expenses and other assets in our Consolidated Balance Sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

Letters of Credit and Surety Bonds

We had outstanding letters of credit and surety bonds of $46.5 million as of June 30, 2019 and $42.4 million as of December 31, 2018. These letters of credit and bonds were issued primarily in connection with insurance requirements, special real estate assessments and construction obligations.

We are not aware of any instances of non-compliance with our financial covenants related to our mortgages, notes and loans payable as of June 30, 2019.

NOTE 7        LEASES

Lessee arrangements
 
We are the lessee in several ground lease agreements for the land under some of our owned buildings. Generally, we own the land underlying the properties; however, at certain properties, all or part of the underlying land is owned by a third party that leases the land to us through a long-term ground lease. In addition, we lease office space for our corporate headquarters and field offices. Our material consolidated leases have reasonably certain lease terms ranging from four years to forty years. Certain leases provide the lessee with two to three renewal options which are considered to be termination options unless it is reasonably certain that the Company will elect to renew and generally range from five years to ten years each, with renewal rent payments based on a predetermined annual increase, market rates at the time of exercise of the renewal, or changes in the Consumer Price Index ("CPI").

As of June 30, 2019, the balance of ROU assets was $119.5 million, net and lease liabilities of $73.9 million for seven ground leases and one office lease in the Consolidated Balance Sheets under Topic 842, included in prepaid expenses and other assets and accounts payable and accrued expenses, respectively.

Straight-line rent expense recognized for our consolidated operating leases was $0.7 million and $1.4 million for ground leases and $1.7 million and $3.7 million for the office lease for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, and is included in other property operating costs for ground leases and property management and other costs for the office lease, respectively, in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Several lease agreements include variable lease payments which vary based on factors such as sublease income received, the revenues or net operating income of the properties constructed on the leased premises, increases in CPI, and changes in market rents. In addition, our leases require us to reimburse the lessor for the lessor’s tax, insurance and common area costs. Variable lease payments and short-term lease costs recognized as rent expense for operating leases were not significant for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and are included in other property operating costs in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss).

We own a property portfolio comprised primarily of Class A retail properties and lease this retail space to tenants. As of June 30, 2019, we own a controlling interest in and consolidated 57 retail properties located throughout the United States comprising approximately 50 million square feet of GLA. We enter into operating leases with a variety of tenants, the majority of which are national and regional retail chains and local retailers. These operating leases expire starting in year 2019 and typically include renewal options, which are generally exercisable only by the tenant. Certain leases also include early termination options which are typically exercisable only by the tenant. Our leases do not allow the tenant to purchase the retail space.

All lease-related income is reported as a single line item, rental revenues, in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss). Effective January 1, 2019, with the adoption of Topic 842, rental revenues is presented net of provision for doubtful accounts. Rental income recognized on a straight-line basis consists primarily of fixed and in-substance fixed lease payments (including lease payments related to non-lease components which have been combined with the lease component). Variable rental income represents variable lease payments, which consist primarily of overage rents; reimbursements for tenants’ pro rata share of real estate taxes, insurance, property operating and marketing expenses, and utilities; lease payments related to CPI-based escalations and market rent resets; and lease termination income.

NOTE 8        INCOME TAXES

The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. We intend to maintain REIT status. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our taxable ordinary income. In addition, the Company is required to meet certain asset and income tests.

As a REIT, we will generally not be subject to corporate level Federal income tax on taxable income we distribute currently to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to Federal income taxes at regular corporate rates and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years. Even if we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we may be subject to certain state and local taxes on our income or property, and to Federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income and capital gains. We are currently statutorily open to audit by the Internal Revenue Service for the years ended December 31, 2015 through 2018 and are statutorily open to audit by state taxing authorities for the years ended December 31, 2014 through 2018.

We have no unrecognized tax benefits recorded pursuant to uncertain tax positions as of June 30, 2019.

Noncontrolling Interests

The noncontrolling interest related to the Common, Preferred, and LTIP Units of BPROP are presented either as redeemable noncontrolling interests in mezzanine equity or as noncontrolling interests in our permanent equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Classification as redeemable or permanent equity is considered on a tranche-by-tranche basis and is dependent on whether we could be required, under certain events outside of our control, to redeem the securities for cash by the holders of the securities, Those tranches for which we could be required to redeem the security for cash are included in redeemable equity. If we control the decision to redeem the securities for cash, the securities are classified as permanent equity.

The redeemable Common and Preferred Units of BPROP are recorded at the greater of the carrying amount adjusted for the noncontrolling interest’s share of the allocation of income or loss (and its share of other comprehensive income or loss) and dividends or their redemption value (i.e. fair value) as of each measurement date. The excess of the fair value over the carrying amount from period to period is recorded within additional paid-in capital in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. Allocation to noncontrolling interests is presented as an adjustment to net income to arrive at net income (loss) attributable to BPR. The preferred redeemable noncontrolling interests have been recorded at carrying value.

Holders of Series B Preferred Units, Series D Preferred Units, Series E Preferred Units and Series G Preferred Units of BPROP are each entitled to periodic distributions at the rates set forth in the Sixth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of BPROP. Generally, each Series K Preferred Unit of BPROP entitles its holder to distributions and a liquidation preference identical to those established for each share of BPR's Class A Stock. The holders of Series L Preferred Units of BPROP are generally entitled to a pro rata distribution of an aggregate cash amount equal to the sum of (i) the aggregate cash dividends declared on all outstanding shares of BPR's Class B Stock and (ii) the aggregate cash dividends declared on all outstanding shares of BPR's Series B Preferred Stock. Holders of Common Units of BPROP are entitled to distributions of all or a portion of BPROP’s remaining net operating cash flow, when and as declared by BPROP’s general partner. However, the Sixth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership of BPROP permits distributions solely to BPR if such distributions were required to allow the Company to comply with the REIT distribution requirements or to avoid the imposition of excise tax.

Class A Stock

Class A Stock refers to the Company's Class A Stock, par value $0.01 per share, authorized and issued to unaffiliated GGP common stockholders as part of the BPY Transaction.

Each share of Class A Stock is entitled to cumulative dividends per share in a cash amount equal in value to the amount of any distribution made on a BPY limited partnership unit ("BPY unit"). In addition, each share of Class A Stock is exchangeable for one BPY unit or its cash equivalent (the form of payment to be determined by BP US REIT LLC, in its sole discretion). Such exchange and distribution rights are subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BPY or BPR. If and to the extent declared by the Company's board of directors, the record and payment dates for the dividends or other distributions upon the shares of Class A Stock, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law, is expected to be the same as the record and payment dates for the dividends or other distributions upon the BPY units. Pursuant to the terms of the Company's charter, all such dividends to holders of Class A Stock will be paid prior and in preference to any dividends or distributions on the Class B Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Class C Stock will be fully declared and paid before any dividends are declared and paid or any other distributions are made on any Class B Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Class C Stock. The holders of Class A Stock shall not be entitled to any dividends from BPR other than the Class A dividend.

Upon any liquidation, dissolution or winding up of the Company that is not a Market Capitalization Liquidation Event (as defined below) or substantially concurrent with the liquidation, dissolution or winding up of BPY, the holders of Class A Stock are entitled to a cash amount, for each share of Class A Stock, equal to the market price of one BPY unit (subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BPY or BPR) on the date immediately preceding announcement of such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, plus all declared and unpaid dividends. If, upon any such liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the assets of BPR are insufficient to make such payment in full, then the assets of BPR will be distributed among the holders of Class A Stock ratably in proportion to the full amounts to which they would otherwise be respectively entitled to receive.

If the market capitalization of the Class A Stock (i.e., if the price per share of Class A Stock, multiplied by the number of shares of Class A Stock outstanding) averages, over any period of 30 consecutive trading days, less than one (1) billion dollars, the BPR board will have the right to liquidate BPR’s assets and wind up BPR’s operations (a "Market Capitalization Liquidation Event"). Upon any Market Capitalization Liquidation Event, the holders of Class A Stock shall be entitled to a cash amount, for each share

(Dollars in thousands, except share and per share amounts)
(Unaudited)


of Class A Stock, equal to the dollar volume-weighted average price of one BPY unit over the ten (10) trading days immediately following the public announcement of such Market Capitalization Liquidation Event, plus all declared and unpaid dividends. If, upon any such Market Capitalization Liquidation Event, the assets of BPR are insufficient to make such payment in full, then the assets of BPR will be distributed among the holders of Class A Stock ratably in proportion to the full amounts which they would otherwise be respectively entitled to receive. Notwithstanding the foregoing, upon any Market Capitalization Liquidation Event, BPY may elect to exchange all of the outstanding shares of the Class A Stock for BPY units on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BPY or BPR.

Holders of Class A Stock shall have the right to exchange all or a portion of their Class A Stock for cash at a price equal to the value of an equivalent number of BPY units, subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BPY or BPR. Upon receipt of a request for exchange, BPR will deliver a notice of exchange to BPY within one (1) business day and will have ten (10) business days to deliver the cash amount to the tendering holder. Upon receipt of the notice of exchange, BPY may elect to satisfy BPR’s exchange obligation by exchanging all of the shares of the Class A Stock tendered for BPY units on a one-for-one basis. This initial one-for-one conversion factor is subject to adjustment in the event of certain dilutive or other capital events by BPY or BPR. If so elected, BPY will have to satisfy such obligation within ten (10) business days from the date of the notice of exchange. If BPY exercises its right to assume the exchange obligation, units of BPY units will be delivered in exchange for the Class A Stock and such Class A Stock will automatically be converted into Class B Stock.

As there are certain events outside of the Company’s control whereby it could be required to redeem the Class A Stock for cash by the holders of the securities, the Class A Stock is included in redeemable equity. Accordingly, the Class A Stock are recorded at the greater of the carrying amount or their redemption value (i.e. fair value) as of each measurement date. The excess of the fair value over the carrying amount from period to period is recorded within additional paid-in capital in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. There is no adjustment within additional paid-in capital for the Class A stock when the fair value is less than the carrying value.

Class B Stock

The Company’s shareholders approved the amendment and restatement of the Company’s charter at its annual stockholder meeting on June 19, 2019 (the “Restated Charter”), which became effective on June 26, 2019 and, among other things, authorized the Company’s issuance of up to 965,000,000 shares of a new class of stock called Class B-2 Stock. Each share of Class B-2 Stock shall have terms (including the same powers, preferences and relative, participating, optional and other special rights, and qualifications, limitations and restrictions) identical to the terms of a share of Class B-1 Stock other than voting rights. The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Company's Class B-1 Stock and Class B-2 Stock (together the "Class B Stock").
Pursuant to the Restated Charter and subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes, including the Class A Stock, and any series of preferred stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, each share of Class B Stock entitles its holder to cumulative dividends per share in a cash amount at a rate of 6.5% per year of the Class B liquidation amount per share (which rate was 10.0% per year until the effective date of the Restated Charter on June 26, 2019) equal to $21.39 per share. On October 18, 2018, each holder of the Class B-1 Stock hereby irrevocably waived, all of its right, title and interest in and to 2.5% of the dividend rate, including without elimination all rights and entitlement to payment of such amounts. This partial dividend waiver resulted in a 7.5% effective rate per year of the Class B Liquidation Amount per share and was terminated upon the effectiveness of the Restated Charter. Dividends on the Class B Stock may also be paid by an in-kind distribution of additional shares of Class B Stock or any other class of shares of capital stock of BPR ranking junior to the Class A Stock. Dividends on the Class B Stock shall be cumulative and shall be payable quarterly in arrears, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors with respect to dividends on the Class B Stock.
Holders of the Class B Stock are not entitled to receive dividends, redemptions or other distributions: (i) unless and until (a) BPR has paid the aggregate dividends owed to the holders of Class A Stock and (b) the dividend coverage ratio (as defined below) is equal to or greater than 1.25:1, (ii) if any tendering holder of Class A Stock has not received the cash or BPY units due upon exchange or (iii) if holders of Class A Stock are owed cash in the event of an adjustment to the conversion factor. The dividend coverage ratio is referred to as a ratio of (i) BPR’s funds from operations, as calculated in accordance with the definition of funds from operations used by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"), for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, to (ii) the product of (a) the amount of the most recent regular quarterly distribution declared by BPY on each BPY unit, times (b) the number of shares of Class A Stock outstanding at such time.

Series B Preferred Stock
The following description sets forth certain general terms and provisions of the Series B Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (the "Series B Preferred Stock").
Pursuant to the Restated Charter and subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes, including the Class A Stock, Class B Stock and any series of preferred stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, each share of Series B Preferred Stock will entitle its holder to cumulative dividends per share in a cash amount at a rate of 8.65% per year of the Class B liquidation amount per share (which rate was 10.0% until the effective date of the Restated Charter on June 26, 2019), with such Class B liquidation amount per share equal to $21.39. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock may also be paid by an in-kind distribution of additional shares of Series B Preferred Stock or any other class of shares of capital stock of BPR ranking junior to the Class A Stock and Class B Stock. Dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock shall be cumulative and shall be payable quarterly in arrears, when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors with respect to dividends on the Series B Preferred Stock.

Holders of the Series B Preferred Stock are not entitled to receive dividends, redemptions or other distributions: (i) unless and until (a) BPR has paid the aggregate dividends owed to the holders of Class A Stock and Class B Stock and (b) the dividend coverage ratio (as defined below) is equal to or greater than 1.25:1, (ii) if any tendering holder of Class A Stock has not received the cash or BPY units due upon exchange or (iii) if holders of Class A Stock are owed cash in the event of an adjustment to the conversion factor. The dividend coverage ratio is referred to as a ratio of (i) BPR’s funds from operations, as calculated in accordance with the definition of funds from operations used by Nareit, for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter, to (ii) the product of (a) the amount of the most recent regular quarterly distribution declared by BPY on each BPY unit, times (b) the number of shares of Class A Stock outstanding at such time.

Class C Stock

Class C Stock refers to the Company's Class C Stock, par value $0.01 per share, authorized as part of the BPY Transaction. Pursuant to the amended charter and subject to the prior rights of holders of all classes, including the holders of Class A Stock, Class B Stock, Series B Preferred Stock and any series of preferred stock at the time outstanding having prior rights as to dividends, each share of Class C Stock will entitle its holder to dividends when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors out of any assets of BPR legally available therefore. The record and payment date for dividends on shares of Class C Stock shall be such date that the Company's Board of Directors shall designate.

Notwithstanding the foregoing, holders of the Class C Stock are not entitled to receive dividends, redemptions or other distributions: (i) unless and until (a) BPR has paid the aggregate dividends owed to the holders of Class A Stock and (b) the dividend coverage ratio is equal to or greater than 1.25:1, (ii) if any tendering holder of Class A Stock has not received the cash or BPY units due upon exchange, (iii) if holders of Class A Stock are owed cash in the event of an adjustment to the conversion factor or (iv) unless and until the full cumulative dividends on the Class B Stock for all past dividend periods and any current dividend periods have been (or contemporaneously are) (a) declared or paid in cash or (b) declared and a sum sufficient for the payment thereof in cash is set apart for such payment.

A Dividend Reinvestment Plan ("DRIP") provided eligible holders of GGP's common stock with a convenient method of increasing their investment in the Company by reinvesting all or a portion of cash dividends in additional shares. Pursuant to the DRIP, eligible stockholders who enrolled in the DRIP on or before the fourth business day preceding the record date for a dividend payment were able to have that dividend reinvested. As a result of the DRIP elections, no shares were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 5,906 shares were issued during the six months ended June 30, 2018. The Company terminated the registration statement relating to the DRIP (File No. 333-172795) with the filing of a post-effective amendment on August 28, 2018.

Preferred Stock

On February 13, 2013, we issued, in a public offering, 10,000,000 shares of 6.375% Series A Cumulative Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Pre-Merger Preferred Stock") at a price of $25.00 per share, resulting in net proceeds of $242.0 million after issuance costs. In connection with the BPY Transaction, each share of Pre-Merger Preferred Stock was converted into one share of 6.375% Series A cumulative redeemable preferred stock of BPR (the "Series A Preferred Stock"). The Series A Preferred Stock is recorded net of issuance costs within equity on our Consolidated Balance Sheets, and accrues a quarterly dividend at an annual rate of 6.375%. The dividend is paid in arrears in preference to dividends on our Class A Stock, and reduces net income available to stockholders, and therefore, earnings per share.

The Series A Preferred Stock does not have a stated maturity date but we may redeem the Series A Preferred Stock for $25.00 per share plus all accrued and unpaid dividends. Upon certain circumstances surrounding a change of control, holders of Series A Preferred Stock may elect to convert each share of their Series A Preferred Stock into a number of shares of Class A Stock or Class C Stock, at the option of the holder, equivalent to $25.00 plus accrued and unpaid dividends, but not to exceed a cap of 2.4679 shares of Class A Stock or Class C Stock (subject to certain adjustments related to splits, subdivisions, or combinations). The BPY Transaction did not meet the definition of a change in control per the certificate of designation governing the Series A Preferred Stock.

NOTE 10    EARNINGS PER SHARE

Class A Stock

Income available to Class A stockholders is limited to distributed income or dividends declared. Additionally, for purposes of allocating earnings to Class A Stock, the portion of the change in the carrying amount of Class A Stock that reflects a redemption in excess of fair value is considered a dividend to the Class A stockholders. As the Class A Stock redemption value approximates its fair value, basic and diluted earnings per share ("EPS") for Class A Stock is equivalent to the dividends declared for the period January 1, 2019 through June 30, 2019. There were 109,804,513 and 79,389,423 shares of Class A Stock outstanding as of December 31, 2018 and June 30, 2019, respectively. EPS is not presented for Class B Stock, Series B Preferred Stock or Class C Stock as these classes of stock are not publicly traded.

Common Stock

In 2018, basic EPS for common stock was computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted EPS for common stock was computed after adjusting the numerator and denominator of the basic EPS computation for the effects of all potentially dilutive common shares. The dilutive effect of options and their equivalents (including fixed awards and nonvested stock issued under stock-based compensation plans), were computed using the "treasury" method. The dilutive effect of the Preferred Units was computed using the "if-converted" method.

NOTE 11    STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION PLANS

The GGP Inc. 2010 Equity Plan (the "Equity Plan") was renamed as the Amended and Restated Brookfield Property REIT Inc. 2010 Equity Incentive Plan on August 28, 2018 in connection with the BPY Transaction. The Equity Plan provides for grants of nonqualified stock options, incentive stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, other stock-based awards and performance-based compensation (collectively, the "Awards"). The Company's directors, officers and other employees and those of its subsidiaries and affiliates are eligible for the Awards. The Equity Plan is not subject to the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, as amended. No participant may be granted more than 4,000,000 shares, or the equivalent dollar value of such shares, in any year. Options granted under the Equity Plan will be designated as either nonqualified stock options or incentive stock options. An option granted as an incentive stock option will, to the extent it fails to qualify as an incentive stock option, be treated as a nonqualified option. The exercise price of an option may not be less than the fair value of a share of BPR's Class A Stock on the date of grant. The term of each option will be determined prior to the date of grant, but may not exceed 10 years.

In connection with the BPY Transaction, the Equity Plan was amended and certain outstanding awards were modified. All outstanding GGP in and out of the money options were canceled and replaced with Class A Stock of BPR and BPY options, respectively. Certain existing appreciation only LTIP awards were canceled and replaced with substitute awards of a BPY affiliate. Outstanding restricted GGP shares were replaced with restricted shares of Class A Stock. As the awards were modified in conjunction with an equity restructuring, they were accounted for as modifications. Incremental compensation cost was measured as the excess of the fair value of the replacement awards over the fair value of the original awards immediately before the terms were modified. Total compensation cost measured at the date of modification was the grant-date fair value of the original awards for which the requisite service is expected to be rendered (or has already been rendered) plus the incremental cost associated with the replacement awards. For vested awards, incremental compensation cost was recognized on the modification date. For unvested awards, incremental compensation cost is being recognized over the remaining service period.

Notes receivable includes a note from our joint venture partners related to the acquisition of 730 Fifth Avenue in New York, New York. The note bears interest at 8.0% compounded annually and matures on February 12, 2025. As of June 30, 2019, there was $292.4 million outstanding on the note, which includes an increase of $90.0 million related to the payoff of loans as a result of the Company's funding of the joint venture partner's share of the loan paydown on June 28, 2019 (Note 6). As of April 1, 2019, the note accrued total interest of $2.4 million. Due to uncertainties regarding the collectability, the note has been placed on non-accrual status whereby the Company is no longer recognizing unpaid interest on this note. The Company has evaluated the note for impairment, including consideration of the collateral value, and has concluded that it is not deemed probable that it will not be able to collect all amount due according to the contractual terms of the note. Accordingly, an allowance for loan loss has not been recognized.

NOTE 16    LITIGATION

In the normal course of business, from time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings relating to the ownership and operations of our properties. In management's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company is subject to litigation related to the BPY Transaction. The Company cannot predict the outcome of pending litigation, nor can it predict the amount of time and expense that will be required to resolve such litigation.

NOTE 17    COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

We lease land or buildings at certain properties from third parties. The leases generally provide us with a right of first refusal in the event of a proposed sale of the property by the landlord. Rental payments are expensed as incurred and have, to the extent applicable, been straight-lined over the term of the lease. The following is a summary of our contractual rental expense as presented in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income:

ITEM 2
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

All references to numbered Notes are to specific footnotes to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in this Quarterly Report and whose descriptions are incorporated into the applicable response by reference. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with such Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes. Capitalized terms used, but not defined, in this Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations have the same meanings as in such Notes.

Overview

GGP Inc., ("GGP" or the "Company") (now known as Brookfield Property REIT Inc. or "BPR"), a Delaware corporation, was organized in July 2010 and is an externally managed real estate investment trust, referred to as a "REIT".

On March 26, 2018, GGP and Brookfield Property Partners L.P. ("BPY") entered into a definitive agreement (the "Merger Agreement") pursuant to which BPY would acquire all of the shares of GGP common stock, par value $0.01 per share, that BPY and its affiliates did not already own through a series of transactions (collectively, the "BPY Transaction"), including, among other things, the exchange of all shares of GGP common stock owned by certain affiliates of BPY and any subsidiary of GGP for Series B Preferred Stock (the "Class B Exchange") and the payment of a special dividend payable to certain holders of record of GGP common stock pursuant to the terms of the Merger Agreement (the "Pre-Closing Dividend").

BPR is an indirect subsidiary of BPY, one of the world's largest commercial real estate companies. As used herein, the terms "we", "us" and "our" refer to BPR and its subsidiaries. BPR, through its subsidiaries and affiliates, is an owner and operator of retail properties. As of June 30, 2019, we were the owner, either entirely or with joint venture partners, of 123 retail properties located throughout the United States comprising approximately 121 million square feet of gross leasable area, or GLA.

Substantially all of our business is conducted through BPR OP, LP ("BPROP"), which we sometimes refer to herein as the Operating Partnership, and its subsidiaries. As of June 30, 2019, BPR held approximately 99% of the common equity of BPROP, while the remaining 1% was held by limited partners and certain previous contributors of properties to BPROP.

In addition to holding ownership interests in various joint ventures, the Operating Partnership generally conducts its operations through BPR REIT Services LLC. ("BPRRS"), Brookfield Properties Retail Inc. ("BPRI") and General Growth Management, Inc. ("GGMI"). Each of GGMI and BPRI is a taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"), which earn real estate management and leasing fees, development fees, financing fees for other ancillary services for a majority of our unconsolidated real estate affiliates and for substantially all of our consolidated properties. BPRI also serves as a contractor to GGMI for these services. BPRRS generally provides financial, accounting, tax, legal, development, and other services to our consolidated properties.

Our primary business is owning and operating best-in-class retail properties that provide an outstanding environment and experience for our communities, retailers, consumers and stockholders. We own a property portfolio comprised primarily of Class A retail properties (defined primarily by sales per square foot). We provide management and other services to substantially all of our properties, including properties which we own through joint venture arrangements and which are unconsolidated for GAAP purposes. Our management operating philosophies and strategies are the same whether the properties are consolidated or unconsolidated.

As of June 30, 2019, the portfolio was 95.0% leased, compared to 95.7% leased at June 30, 2018. On a suite-to-suite basis, the leases commencing occupancy in the trailing 12 months exhibited initial rents that were 7.2% higher than the final rents paid on expiring leases.

We have identified approximately $1.6 billion of development and redevelopment projects within our portfolio, including re-development of anchor box spaces, over 80% of which is being invested into Class A retail properties. We currently expect to achieve stabilized returns of approximately 6-9% for all projects.

We believe our long-term strategy can provide our stockholders with a competitive risk-adjusted total return comprised of dividends and share price appreciation.

Financial Overview

Net income attributable to BPR decreased from $157.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $(195.6) million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to impairment at one operating property followed by the sale of partial interests in

45


properties related to joint ventures formed in conjunction with the BPY Transaction and an increase in interest expense as a result of the new debt related to the BPY Transaction. Our funds from operations ("FFO") decreased 55.4% from $669.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 to $299.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 primarily due to the impairment of one operating property followed by the sale of partial interests in properties related to joint ventures formed in conjunction with the BPY Transaction.

See Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures below for a discussion of FFO, along with a reconciliation to Net income attributable to BPR.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
Our primary source of cash is from the ownership and management of our properties and strategic dispositions. In addition, we will also use strategic dispositions and financings as a source of capital. We may generate cash from refinancings or borrowings under our revolving credit facility. Our primary uses of cash include payment of operating expenses, debt service, reinvestment in and redevelopment of properties, tenant allowances, dividends, share repurchases and strategic acquisitions.
 
We anticipate maintaining financial flexibility by managing our future maturities and amortization of debt. We believe that we currently have sufficient liquidity to satisfy all of our commitments in the form of $199.9 million of consolidated unrestricted cash and $870.5 million of available credit under our credit facility as of June 30, 2019, as well as anticipated cash provided by operations.
 
Our key financing objectives include:

to obtain property-secured debt with laddered maturities; and
to minimize the amount of debt that is cross-collateralized and/or recourse to us.

We may raise capital through public or private issuances of debt securities, preferred stock, Class A Stock, Common Units of BPROP, share repurchases or other capital raising activities.

The Company entered into a new credit agreement (the "Agreement") dated as of August 24, 2018 consisting of a revolving credit facility (the "Facility"), Term A-1 and A-2 loans, and a Term B loan. The Facility provides for revolving loans of up to $1.5 billion and borrowings bear interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The Facility is scheduled to mature in August 2022 and had outstanding borrowings of $629.5 million as of June 30, 2019. The Term A-1 Loan has a total commitment of $900.0 million, with $700.0 million attributable to BPR and $200.0 million attributable to an affiliate, and is scheduled to mature in August 2021 bearing interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The Term A-2 Loan has a total commitment of $2.0 billion and is scheduled to mature in August 2023 bearing interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 225 basis points. The Term B Loan has a total commitment of $2.0 billion and is scheduled to mature in August 2025 bearing interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 250 basis points. The Term A-1, A-2, and B Loans are contractually obligated to be prepaid through net proceeds from property level refinances and asset sales as outlined in the Agreement. The Agreement contains certain restrictive covenants which limit material changes in the nature of our business conducted, including, but not limited to, mergers, dissolutions or liquidations, dispositions of assets, liens, incurrence of additional indebtedness, dividends, transactions with affiliates, prepayment of subordinated debt, negative pledges and changes in fiscal periods. In addition, we are required not to exceed a maximum net debt-to-value ratio and fixed charge coverage ratio. As of June 30, 2019, we are not aware of any instances of non-compliance with such covenants.

During the year ended December 31, 2018, we refinanced a consolidated mortgage note at 685 Fifth Avenue. The prior $340.0 million variable-rate consolidated mortgage note matured on July 1, 2018 and had an interest rate of LIBOR plus 2.75%. In connection with the refinancing, $100.0 million remained related to the commercial office unit and a new $275.0 million fixed-rate consolidated mortgage note with a term-to-maturity of 10.0 years and an interest rate of 4.53% was obtained on the retail unit. The $100.0 million was paid down in full in conjunction with the sale of the commercial office unit on July 13, 2018. In addition, we refinanced mortgage notes totaling $1.1 billion at nine properties. The prior loans totaling $1.2 billion had a weighted-average interest rate of 4.89%. The new loans have a weighted-average term-to-maturity of 5.1 years and a weighted-average interest rate of 5.21%. We also obtained new mortgage notes totaling $416.2 million at six properties with a weighted-average term-to-maturity of 4.6 years and a weighted-average interest rate of 4.72%.

On June 28, 2019, the Company paid off loans totaling $180.0 million on 730 Fifth Avenue and extended the loan to August 27, 2019. The payoff of the notes resulted in a $90.0 million increase in notes receivable as a result of the Company's funding of the joint venture partner's share of the loan paydown in the Consolidated Balance Sheets at June 30, 2019.

On June 3, 2019, the Company closed a new loan on the Grand Canal Shoppes in the amount of $975.0 million with a 10-year fixed interest rate of 4.29%, maturing July 2, 2029. This loan replaced the previous debt of $625.0 million on the property that matured on June 3, 2019.

On May 1, 2019, the Company and BPR Cumulus LLC, BPR Nimbus LLC, and GGSI Sellco LLC (each, an indirect subsidiary of the Company) issued $1.0 billion aggregate principal amount of 5.75% Senior Secured Notes due 2026. The notes bear interest

49


at an annual rate of 5.75% payable on May 15 and November 15 of each year, beginning on November 15, 2019 and will mature on May 15, 2026.

On April 25, 2019, the Company obtained a one-year extension of a $1.3 billion loan secured by cross-collateralized mortgages on 15 properties with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 1.75%. A principal repayment of $10.1 million was made in conjunction with the extension.

On April 9, 2019, the Company closed a new loan on three properties included in the BPR-FF JV LLC joint venture. The three properties are Coronado Center, Governor's Square and Lynnhaven Mall. These properties were previously encumbered by $462.0 million of third-party debt which was replaced by a $515.0 million loan with an interest rate of LIBOR plus 340 basis points, maturing May 2024. The new loan was recorded as an extinguishment of the previous loans and allocation of the new debt to the three properties.

On March 25, 2019, the Company secured a $341.8 million subordinated unsecured note with Brookfield BPY Holdings Inc., a related party. The note bears interest at a rate equal to LIBOR plus 2.75% and is scheduled to mature on March 25, 2029. During the quarter ended June 30, 2019, the Company made a principal payment of $200.1 million. The balance at June 30, 2019 was $141.7 million. The Company borrowed an additional $70.5 million during the period with a maturity date of June 25, 2029. The balance at June 30, 2019 was $70.5 million.

As of June 30, 2019, we had $7.1 billion of debt pre-payable at our proportionate share without penalty. We may pursue opportunities to refinance this debt at lower interest rates and longer maturities.

As of June 30, 2019, our proportionate share of total debt aggregated $22.0 billion. Our total debt includes our consolidated debt of $14.0 billion and our share of unconsolidated real estate affiliates debt of $8.0 billion. Of our proportionate share of total debt, $6.1 billion is recourse to the Company or its subsidiaries (including the Facility) due to guarantees or other security provisions for the benefit of the note holder.
 
The amount of debt due in the next three years represents 29.8% of our total debt at maturity. The maximum amount due in any one of the next ten years is no more than $4.1 million at our proportionate share or approximately 20.4% of our total debt at maturity.

The following table illustrates the scheduled payments for our proportionate share of total debt as of June 30, 2019. The $206.2 million of junior subordinated notes are due in 2036, but we may redeem them any time after April 30, 2011 (Note 6). As we do not expect to redeem the notes prior to maturity, they are included in the consolidated debt maturing subsequent to 2023.

We believe we will be able to extend the maturity date, repay under our available line of credit or refinance the consolidated debt that is scheduled to mature in 2019. We also believe that the joint ventures will be able to refinance the debt of our unconsolidated real estate affiliates upon maturity; however, there can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance or restructure such debt on acceptable terms or otherwise, or that joint venture operations or contributions by us and/or our partners will be sufficient to repay such loans.

Acquisitions and Joint Venture Activity


50


From time-to-time we may acquire whole or partial interests in high-quality retail properties or make strategic dispositions. Refer to Note 3 for more information.

Developments and Redevelopments
 
We are currently redeveloping several consolidated and unconsolidated properties primarily to improve the productivity and value of the property, convert large-scale anchor boxes into smaller leasable areas and to create new in-line retail space and new restaurant venues. The execution of these redevelopment projects within our portfolio was identified as providing compelling risk-adjusted returns on investment.

We have development and redevelopment activities totaling approximately $720.0 million under construction and $856.0 million in the pipeline. We continue to evaluate a number of other redevelopment projects to further enhance the quality of our assets. Expected returns are based on the completion of current and future redevelopment projects, and the success of the leasing and asset management plans in place for each project. Expected returns are subject to a number of variables, risks, and uncertainties including those disclosed within Item 1A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018 (our "Annual Report"). We also refer the reader to our disclosure related to forward-looking statements, below. The following table illustrates our planned redevelopments:

Capital Expenditures, Capitalized Interest and Overhead (at share)

The following table illustrates our capital expenditures, capitalized interest, and internal costs associated with leasing and development overhead, which primarily relate to ordinary capital projects at our operating properties. In addition, we incurred tenant allowances and capitalized leasing costs for our operating properties as outlined below. Capitalized interest is based upon qualified expenditures and interest rates; capitalized leasing and development costs are based upon time expended on these activities. These costs are amortized over lives which are consistent with the related asset.

Seasonality

Although we have a year-long temporary leasing program, occupancies for short-term tenants and, therefore, rental income recognized, are higher during the fourth quarter of the year. In addition, the majority of our tenants have December or January lease years for purposes of calculating annual overage rent amounts. Accordingly, overage rent thresholds are most commonly achieved in the fourth quarter. As a result, revenue production is generally highest in the fourth quarter of each year.

Critical Accounting Policies

Our discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations is based on our consolidated interim financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the financial statements and disclosures. Some of these estimates and assumptions require application of difficult, subjective, and/or complex judgment about the effect of matters that are inherently uncertain and that may change in subsequent periods. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis. 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 that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

A disclosure of our critical accounting policies which affect our more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our condensed consolidated financial statements is included in our Annual Report in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

For the six months ended June 30, 2019, there were no significant changes to these policies except for the policies related to the adoption of Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2016-02, Leases as of January 1, 2019 as described in Note 2 and below.

Leases

Effective January 1, 2019, we adopted the requirements of the new lease guidance which required lessees to recognize a liability to make lease payments and a right-of-use asset, initially measured at the present value of lease payments, for both operating and finance leases. For leases with a term of 12 months or less, lessees were permitted to make an accounting policy election by class of underlying asset to not recognize lease liabilities and lease assets. The guidance allowed lessors and lessees to make an accounting policy election, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from lease components. The guidance also provided an optional transition method which allowed entities to initially apply the new guidance in the period of adoption, recognizing a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings, if necessary. The Company elected to apply the alternative transition method and no cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings was deemed necessary to record.

Refer also to the accounting policies discussed in Note 2.

REIT Requirements

In order to remain qualified as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes, we must distribute at least 90% of our taxable ordinary income to stockholders. We are also subject to federal income tax to the extent we distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, including capital gains. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on our ability to remain qualified as a REIT.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures and Definitions

Proportionate or At Share Basis

The following non-GAAP supplemental financial measures are all presented on a proportionate basis. The proportionate financial information presents the consolidated and unconsolidated properties at the Company's ownership percentage or "at share". This

54


form of presentation offers insights into the financial performance and condition of the Company as a whole, given the significance of the Company's unconsolidated property operations that are owned through investments accounted for under GAAP using the equity method.

The proportionate financial information is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP. The non-GAAP proportionate financial information reflects our proportionate economic ownership of each asset in our property portfolio that we do not wholly own. The amounts in the column labeled "Noncontrolling Interests" were derived on a property-by-property basis by including the share attributable to noncontrolling interests in each line item from each individual property. The Company does not have legal claim to the noncontrolling interest of assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses. The amount of cash each noncontrolling interest receives is based on the specific provisions of each operating agreement and varies depending on certain factors including the amount of capital contributed by each investor and whether any investors are entitled to preferential distributions. The amounts in the column labeled "Unconsolidated Properties" were derived on a property-by-property basis by including our share of each line item from each individual entity. This provides visibility into our share of the operations of our joint ventures.

We do not control the unconsolidated joint ventures and the presentations of the assets and liabilities and revenues and expenses do not represent our legal claim to such items. The operating agreements of the unconsolidated joint ventures generally provide that partners may receive cash distributions (1) to the extent there is available cash from operations, (2) upon a capital event, such as a refinancing or sale or (3) upon liquidation of the venture. The amount of cash each partner receives is based upon specific provisions of each operating agreement and varies depending on factors including the amount of capital contributed by each partner and whether any contributions are entitled to priority distributions. Upon liquidation of the joint venture and after all liabilities, priority distributions and initial equity contributions have been repaid, the partners generally would be entitled to any residual cash remaining based on their respective legal ownership percentages.

We provide non-GAAP proportionate financial information because we believe it assists investors and analysts in estimating our economic interest in our unconsolidated joint ventures when read in conjunction with the Company's reported results under GAAP. Other companies in our industry may calculate their proportionate interest differently than we do, limiting the usefulness as a comparative measure. Because of these limitations, the non-GAAP proportionate financial information should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for our financial statements as reported under GAAP.

Funds From Operations ("FFO")

The Company determines FFO based upon the definition set forth by Nareit. The Company determines FFO to be its share of consolidated net income (loss) attributable to Brookfield Property REIT Inc. computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted for real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, excluding cumulative effects of accounting changes, excluding gains and losses from the sales of, or any impairment charges related to, previously depreciated operating properties, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon the Company's economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. The Company's presentation of FFO has been reflected on a proportionate basis.

The Company considers FFO a helpful supplemental measure of the operating performance for equity REITs and a complement to GAAP measures because it is a recognized measure of performance by the real estate industry. FFO facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of the Company's properties between periods because it does not give effect to real estate depreciation and amortization since these amounts are computed to allocate the cost of a property over its useful life. Since values for well-maintained real estate assets have historically increased or decreased based upon prevailing market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides investors with a clearer view of the Company's operating performance.

We calculate FFO in accordance with standards established by Nareit, which may not be comparable to measures calculated by other companies who do not use the Nareit definition of FFO or do not calculate FFO in accordance with Nareit guidance. In addition, although FFO is a useful measure when comparing our results to other REITs, it may not be helpful to investors when comparing us to non-REITs.

Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures to GAAP Financial Measures

In order to provide a better understanding of the relationship between the Company's non-GAAP financial measures of FFO, a reconciliation of GAAP net income attributable to BPR to FFO has been provided. None of the Company's non-GAAP financial measures represents cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, none should be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income (loss) attributable to BPR and none are necessarily indicative of cash flow. In addition, the Company has presented such financial measures on a consolidated and unconsolidated basis (at the Company's proportionate share) as the

55


Company believes that given the significance of the Company's operations that are owned through investments accounted for by the equity method of accounting, the detail of the operations of the Company's unconsolidated properties provides important insights into the income and FFO produced by such investments.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this section or elsewhere in this report may be deemed "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Statements that do not relate to historical or current facts or matters are forward-looking statements. When used, the words “may," "will," "seek," "expects," "anticipates," "believes," "targets," "intends," "should," "estimates," "could," "continue," "assume," "projects," "plans," or similar expressions, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statement are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained, and it is possible that actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward-looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on forward-looking statements.

Some of the risks and uncertainties that may cause our actual results, performance, or achievements to differ materially from those expressed or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to:

General volatility of conditions affecting the retail sector;
our inability to acquire and maintain tenants or to lease space on terms favorable to us;
risks related to the bankruptcy or store closures of national tenants with chains of stores in many of our properties;
our inability to sell real estate quickly;
risks related to perceptions by retailers and shoppers of the convenience and attractiveness of our retail properties;
risks related to the development, expansion and acquisitions of properties;
risks related to competition in our business;
risks related to natural disasters or terrorist attacks;
risks related to cyber and data security breaches or information technology failures;
environmental uncertainties and related costs, including costs resulting from uninsured potential losses;
general risks related to inflation or deflation;

56


risks relating to impairment charges for our real estate assets;
risks related to conflicts of interest with BPY and our status as a "controlled company" within the meaning of the rules of Nasdaq;
our dependence on our subsidiaries for cash;
risks related to our joint venture partners, including risks related to conflicts of interests, potential bankruptcies, tax-related obligations and financial support relating to such joint venture partners;
our inability to maintain status as a REIT, and possible adverse changes to tax laws;
risks related to our indebtedness and debt restrictions and covenants;
our inability to refinance, extend, restructure or repay near and indeterminate debt;
our inability to raise capital through financing activities; and
risks related to the BPY Transaction.

We discuss these and other risks and uncertainties in our Annual Report and our quarterly periodic reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Company may update that discussion in its periodic reports, but otherwise takes no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

ITEM 3        QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
 
In the event that LIBOR is discontinued, the interest rate for the majority of our variable rate debt and the swap rate for the majority of our interest rate swaps following such event will be based on an alternative variable rate as specified in the applicable documentation governing such debt or swaps or as otherwise agreed upon. Such an event would not affect the Company’s ability to borrow or maintain already outstanding borrowings or swaps, but the alternative variable rate could be higher and more volatile than LIBOR prior to its discontinuance. We understand that LIBOR is expected to remain available through the end of 2021, but may be discontinued or otherwise become unavailable thereafter. Other than the potential changes noted in connection with LIBOR, there have been no significant changes in the market risk described in our Annual Report.   

ITEM 4        CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the persons performing the functions of principal executive and principal financial officers for us pursuant to a Master Services Agreement, dated August 27, 2018, among us, Brookfield Asset Management Inc. and other parties thereto (the "Master Services Agreement") of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15(d)-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act")).

Based on that evaluation, the persons performing the functions of principal executive and principal financial officers for us pursuant to the Master Services Agreement have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the end of the period covered by this report.

Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that have materially affected or are reasonably likely to materially affect our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II    OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1        LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

In the normal course of business, from time to time, we are involved in legal proceedings relating to the ownership and operations of our properties. In management's opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a material effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.

The Company is subject to litigation related to the BPY Transaction. The Company cannot predict the outcome of pending litigation, nor can it predict the amount of time and expense that it will be required to resolve such litigation.

ITEM 5        OTHER INFORMATION

The other information presented below is being filed as a result of the Company's adoption of the new accounting guidance for lease accounting ("ASC 842") on January 1, 2019. As part of that adoption, the Company elected the available practical expedient, for all classes of assets, not to separate lease components in contracts from the nonlease components in those contracts, when recording revenues associated with operating leases where it is the lessor. Since the lease component is the predominant component under the Company's leases, combined revenues from both the lease and nonlease components are accounted for in accordance with ASC 842 and will be reported in all periods subsequent to the adoption of the new accounting guidance in a single caption, "rental revenues", on the Company's Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income. The presentation and disclosure of rental revenues have been adjusted to reflect these changes for the six months ended June 30, 2019. Refer to Note 2 of Part I, Item 1 "Financial Statements" for further details on these updates to significant accounting policies.

This information is intended to assist investors in making comparisons of the Company's historical financial information with future financial information. The reported financial information below has been reclassified to conform to the current presentation.
