Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements
(Unaudited)
1. Business of Organization
Armada Hoffler Properties, Inc. (the "Company") is a vertically integrated, self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") with over four decades of experience developing, building, acquiring, and managing high-quality retail, office, and multifamily properties located primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States. The Company also provides general construction and development services to third-party clients, in addition to developing and building properties to be placed in their stabilized portfolio.
The Company is the sole general partner of Armada Hoffler, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and, as of September 30, 2023, owned 75.8% of the economic interest in the Operating Partnership, of which 0.1% is held as general partnership units. The operations of the Company are carried on primarily through the Operating Partnership and the wholly owned subsidiaries thereof.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company's property portfolio consisted of 59 stabilized operating properties and two properties under development or not stabilized.
Refer to Note 5 for information related to the Company's recent acquisitions and dispositions of properties.
2. Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP").
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the financial position and results of operations of the Company and its subsidiaries. The Company’s subsidiaries include the Operating Partnership and the subsidiaries that are wholly owned or in which the Company has a controlling interest, including where the Company has been determined to be a primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity ("VIE") in accordance with the consolidation guidance of the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC"). All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.
In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, which are necessary for the fair presentation of the financial condition, and results of operations for the interim periods presented.
The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the requirements for interim financial information. Accordingly, these interim financial statements have not been audited and exclude certain disclosures required for annual financial statements. Also, the operating results presented for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or for the entire year. These interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements of the Company included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed. Such estimates are based on management’s historical experience and best judgment after considering past, current, and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ significantly from management’s estimates.
Reclassifications
Certain items have been reclassified from their prior year classifications to conform to the current year presentation. Effective for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company has changed the presentation of its condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company reclassified interest income of $3.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, from non-operating income to operating income. As a result, total revenues and operating income increased by $3.5 million and $10.4 million, respectively, compared to previous reporting. These reclassifications had no effect on net income or stockholder's equity as previously reported.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
Reference Rate Reform
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform - Facilitation of the Effects of Reference Rate Reform on Financial Reporting (Topic 848), which became effective on March 12, 2020. ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives, and other contracts. This ASU also provides optional expedients to enable companies to continue to apply hedge accounting to certain hedging relationships impacted by reference rate reform. Application of the guidance is optional and only available in certain situations. In January 2021, FASB issued ASU No. 2021-01, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). The amendments in this standard are elective and principally apply to entities that have derivative instruments that use an interest rate for margining, discounting, or contract price alignment that is modified as a result of reference rate reform. Similar to ASU No. 2020-04, provisions of this ASU are effective upon issuance. In December 2022, FASB issued ASU 2022-06 Deferral of the Sunset Date of Topic 848 which became effective immediately upon issuance. ASU 2022-06 deferred the sunset date of Topic 848 to December 31, 2024. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company elected to apply the practical expedients to modifications of qualifying contracts as continuations of the existing contracts rather than as new contracts. The adoption of the new guidance did not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements.
Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company may enter into interest rate derivatives to manage exposure to interest rate risks. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The Company recognizes derivative financial instruments at fair value and presents them within other assets and liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses from derivatives that are neither designated nor qualify as hedging instruments are recognized within the change in fair value of derivatives and other caption in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
For interest rate caps that qualify as cash flow hedges, the premium paid by the Company at inception represents the time value of the instrument and is excluded from the hedge effectiveness assessment. The excluded component is amortized over the life of the derivative instrument and presented within interest expense in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.
Cash flows for derivative financial instruments are classified as cash flows from operating activities within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows, unless there is an other-than-insignificant financing element present at inception of the derivative. For derivatives with an other-than-insignificant financing element at inception due to off-market terms, cash flows are classified as cash flows from investing or financing activities within the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows depending on the derivative's off-market nature at inception.
Other Accounting Policies
See the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a description of other accounting principles upon which basis the accompanying consolidated financial statements were prepared.
3. Segments
The Company operates its business in five reportable segments: (i) retail real estate, (ii) office real estate, (iii) multifamily real estate, (iv) general contracting and real estate services, and (v) real estate financing. Refer to Note 1 of the Company's Form 10-K for the composition of properties within each property segment. Since the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022, the Company introduced real estate financing as a reportable segment. The real estate financing segment includes the Company's mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments on development projects. The change in segmental presentation is a result of the chief operating decision-maker now separately reviewing the results of the real estate financing investments, which are no longer considered to be ad hoc investments, but an evolving portfolio.
Net operating income ("NOI") is the primary measure used by the Company’s chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance. NOI is calculated as segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues include rental revenues for the property segments, general contracting and real estate services revenues for the general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest income for the real estate financing segment. Segment expenses include rental expenses and real estate taxes for the property segments, general contracting and real estate services expenses for the general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest expense for the real estate financing segment. Segment NOI for the general contracting and real estate services and real estate financing segments is also referred to as segment gross profit as illustrated in the table below. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of the Company’s real estate, construction, and real estate financing businesses.
The following table presents NOI for the Company's five reportable segments for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

4. Leases
Lessee Disclosures
As a lessee, the Company has nine ground leases on nine properties. These ground leases have maximum lease terms (including renewal options) that expire between 2074 and 2117. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the Company's sole discretion. The depreciable life of assets and leasehold improvements are limited by the expected lease term. Five of these leases have been classified as operating leases and four of these leases have been classified as finance leases. The Company's lease agreements do not contain any residual value guarantees or material restrictive covenants.
Lessor Disclosures
As a lessor, the Company leases its properties under operating leases and recognizes base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company also recognizes revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse the Company on an accrual basis for certain expenses such as utilities, janitorial services, repairs and maintenance, security and alarms, parking lot and ground maintenance, administrative services, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes. Rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives amortized on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. In addition, the Company recognizes contingent rental revenue (e.g., percentage rents based on tenant sales thresholds) when the sales thresholds are met. Many tenant leases include one or more options to renew, with renewal terms that can extend the lease term from one to 25 years, or more. The exercise of lease renewal options is at the tenant's sole discretion. The Company includes a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably assured.

Equity Method Investments
Harbor Point Parcel 3
The Company owns a 50% interest in Harbor Point Parcel 3, a joint venture with Beatty Development Group, for purposes of developing T. Rowe Price's new global headquarters office building in Baltimore, Maryland. The Company is a noncontrolling partner in the joint venture and will serve as the project's general contractor. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company invested $0.5 million in Harbor Point Parcel 3. The Company has an estimated equity commitment of up to $45.6 million relating to this project. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company's investment in Harbor Point Parcel 3 was $40.3 million and $39.8 million, respectively, which excludes $1.8 million and $0.9 million, respectively, of intra-entity profits eliminated in consolidation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, Harbor Point Parcel 3 had no operating activity; therefore, the Company received no allocated income.
Based on the terms of the operating agreement, the Company has concluded that Harbor Point Parcel 3 is a VIE and that the Company holds a variable interest. The Company has significant influence over the project due to its 50% ownership interest; however, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. This includes activity as the managing member of the entity, which is a power that is retained by the Company's joint venture partner. Accordingly, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and, therefore, does not consolidate Harbor Point Parcel 3 in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's investment in the project is recorded as an equity method investment in the consolidated balance sheets.
Harbor Point Parcel 4
On April 1, 2022, the Company acquired a 78% interest in Harbor Point Parcel 4, a real estate venture with Beatty Development Group, for purposes of developing a mixed-use project ("Allied | Harbor Point"), which is planned to include multifamily units, retail space, and a parking garage. The Company holds an option to increase its ownership to 90%. The Company is a noncontrolling partner in the real estate venture and will serve as the project's general contractor. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company invested $53.2 million in Harbor Point Parcel 4. The Company has an estimated equity commitment of up to $108.9 million relating to this project. As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the carrying value of the Company's investment in Harbor Point Parcel 4 was $85.4 million and $32.2 million, respectively, which excludes $0.6 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of intra-entity profits eliminated in consolidation. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023, Harbor Point Parcel 4 had no operating activity; therefore, the Company received no allocated income.
Based on the terms of the operating agreement, the Company has concluded that Harbor Point Parcel 4 is a VIE and that the Company holds a variable interest. The Company has significant influence over the project due to its 78% ownership interest; however, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. This includes activity as the managing member of the entity, which is a power that is retained by the Company's partner. Accordingly, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and, therefore, does not consolidate Harbor Point Parcel 4 in its consolidated financial statements. The Company's investment in the project is recorded as an equity method investment in the consolidated balance sheets.

Solis Gainesville II
On March 29, 2023, the Solis Gainesville II preferred equity investment agreement was modified to adjust the interest rate. The interest rate of 14% remains effective through the first 24 months of the investment. Beginning on October 3, 2024, the investment will bear interest at a rate of 10% for 12 months. On October 3, 2025, the investment will again bear interest at a rate of 14% per annum through maturity. Additionally, the amendment introduced an unused commitment fee of 10% on the unfunded portion of the investment's maximum loan commitment, which is effective January 1, 2023. Both the interest and unused commitment fee compound annually.
The Interlock
On May 19, 2023, the Company acquired The Interlock. The consideration for such acquisition included the redemption of the Company's outstanding $90.2 million mezzanine loan on the project. Refer to Note 5 for further information regarding the acquisition.
Solis Kennesaw
On May 25, 2023, the Company entered into a $37.9 million preferred equity investment for the development of a multifamily property located in Marietta, Georgia ("Solis Kennesaw"). The investment has economic terms consistent with a note receivable, including a mandatory redemption or maturity on May 25, 2027, and it is accounted for as a note receivable. The Company's investment bears interest at a rate of 14.0% for the first 24 months. Beginning on May 25, 2025, the investment will bear interest at a rate of 9.0% for 12 months. On May 25, 2026, the investment will again bear interest at a rate of 14.0% through maturity. The interest compounds annually. The Company also earns an unused commitment fee of 11.0% on the unfunded portion of the investment's maximum loan commitment, which does not compound, and an equity fee on its commitment of $0.6 million to be amortized through redemption. The preferred equity investment is subject to a minimum interest guarantee of $13.1 million over the life of the investment.
Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE. Because the other investor in the project is the developer and managing member of Solis Kennesaw, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. Accordingly, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the project in its consolidated financial statements.
Solis Peachtree Corners
On July 26, 2023, the Company entered into a $28.4 million preferred equity investment for the development of a multifamily property located in Peachtree Corners, Georgia ("Solis Peachtree Corners"). The preferred equity investment has economic and other terms consistent with a note receivable, including a mandatory redemption feature effective on October 27, 2027. The Company's investment bears interest at a rate of 15.0% for the first 27 months. Beginning on November 1, 2025, the investment will bear interest at a rate of 9.0% for 12 months. On November 1, 2026, the investment will again bear interest at a rate of 15.0% through maturity. The interest compounds annually. The Company also earns an unused commitment fee of 10.0% on the unfunded portion of the investment's maximum loan commitment, which also compounds annually, and an equity fee on its commitment of $0.4 million to be amortized through redemption. The preferred equity investment is subject to a minimum interest guarantee of $12.0 million over the life of the investment.
Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE. Because the other investor in the project is the developer and managing member of Solis Peachtree Corners, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. Accordingly, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the project in its consolidated financial statements.
The Allure at Edinburgh
On July 26, 2023, the Company entered into a $9.2 million preferred equity investment for the development of a multifamily property located in Chesapeake, Virginia ("The Allure at Edinburgh"). The preferred equity investment has economic and other terms consistent with a note receivable, including a mandatory redemption feature effective on January 16, 2028. The Company's investment bears interest at a rate of 15.0%, which does not compound. Upon The Allure at Edinburgh obtaining a certificate of occupancy, the investment will bear interest at a rate of 10.0%. The common equity partner in the development property holds an option to sell the property to the Company at a predetermined amount if certain conditions are met. The Company also holds an option to purchase the property at any time prior to maturity of the preferred equity investment, and at the same predetermined amount as the common equity partner's option to sell.
Management has concluded that this entity is a VIE. Because the other investor in the project is the developer and managing member of The Allure at Edinburgh, the Company does not have the power to direct the activities of the project that most significantly impact its performance. Accordingly, the Company is not the project's primary beneficiary and does not consolidate the project in its consolidated financial statements.
Allowance for Loan Losses
The Company is exposed to credit losses primarily through its real estate financing investments. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had five real estate financing investments, which are financing development projects in various stages of completion or lease-up. Each of these projects is subject to a loan that is senior to the Company’s loan. Interest on these loans is paid in kind and is generally not expected to be paid until a sale of the project after completion of the development.
The Company's management performs a quarterly analysis of the loan portfolio to determine the risk of credit loss based on
the progress of development activities, including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected
subordinated and senior loan balances. The Company estimates future losses on its notes receivable using risk
ratings that correspond to probabilities of default and loss given default. The Company's risk ratings are as follows:
•Pass: loans in this category are adequately collateralized by a development project with conditions materially consistent with the Company's underwriting assumptions.
•Special Mention: loans in this category show signs that the economic performance of the project may suffer as a result of slower-than-expected leasing activity or an extended development or marketing timeline. Loans in this category warrant increased monitoring by management.
•Substandard: loans in this category may not be fully collected by the Company unless remediation actions are taken. Remediation actions may include obtaining additional collateral or assisting the borrower with asset management activities to prepare the project for sale. The Company will also consider placing the loan on non-accrual status if it does not believe that additional interest accruals will ultimately be collected.
The Company updated the risk ratings for each of its notes receivable as of September 30, 2023 and obtained industry loan loss data relative to these risk ratings. Each of the outstanding loans as of September 30, 2023 was "Pass" rated. The Company's analysis resulted in an allowance for loan losses of approximately $2.5 million as of September 30, 2023. An allowance related to unfunded commitments of approximately $0.9 million as of September 30, 2023 was recorded as Other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheet.
At September 30, 2023, the Company reported $83.7 million of notes receivable, net of allowances of $1.6 million. At December 31, 2022, the Company reported $136.0 million of notes receivable, net of allowances of $1.3 million. Changes in the allowance for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The Company places loans on non-accrual status when the loan balance, together with the balance of any senior loan, approximately equals the estimated realizable value of the underlying development project. As of December 31, 2022, the Company had the Constellation Energy Building note, which bore interest at 3% per annum, on non-accrual status. The principal balance of the note receivable was adequately secured by the seller's partnership interest. On January 14, 2023,
the Company acquired an additional 11% membership interest in the Constellation Energy Building, increasing its ownership interest to 90%, in exchange for full satisfaction of the note. As of September 30, 2023, there were no loans on non-accrual status.
7. Construction Contracts
Construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings represent reimbursable costs and amounts earned under contracts in progress as of the balance sheet date. Such amounts become billable according to contract terms, which usually consider the passage of time, achievement of certain milestones, or completion of the project. The Company expects to bill and collect substantially all construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings as of September 30, 2023 during the next 12 to 24 months.
Billings in excess of construction contract costs and estimated earnings represent billings or collections on contracts made in advance of revenue recognized.
The following table summarizes the changes to the balances in the Company’s construction contract costs and estimated earnings in excess of billings account and the billings in excess of construction contract costs and estimated earnings account for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 (in thousands):

Ending balance | | $ | 440 | | | $ | 23,127 | | | $ | 232 | | | $ | 15,736 | |
The Company defers pre-contract costs when such costs are directly associated with specific anticipated contracts and their recovery is probable. Pre-contract costs of $1.9 million and $1.3 million were deferred as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively. Amortization of pre-contract costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $0.3 million and $0.8 million, respectively.
Construction receivables and payables include retentions, which are amounts that are generally withheld until the completion of the contract or the satisfaction of certain restrictive conditions such as fulfillment guarantees.

8. Indebtedness
Credit Facility
On August 23, 2022, the Company and the Operating Partnership entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $550.0 million credit facility comprised of a $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 22, 2027, with two six-month extension options, subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 21, 2028.
On August 29, 2023, the Company increased the capacity of the revolving credit facility by $105.0 million by exercising the accordion feature in part, bringing the revolving credit facility capacity to $355.0 million and the total credit facility capacity to $655.0 million.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR") plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, and the term loan facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, in each case depending on the Company's total leverage. The Company is also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investors Service, Inc., the Operating Partnership may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
As of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the revolving credit facility was $200.0 million and $61.0 million, respectively. The outstanding balance on the term loan facility was $300.0 million as of both September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022. As of September 30, 2023, the effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility, before giving effect to interest rate caps and swaps, were 6.82% and 6.72%, respectively. After giving effect to interest rate caps and swaps, the effective interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 4.40% and 3.02%, respectively, as of September 30, 2023. The Operating Partnership may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty. The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Company's ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions. The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
M&T Term Loan Facility
On December 6, 2022, the Company, as parent guarantor, and the Operating Partnership, as borrower, entered into a term loan agreement (the "M&T term loan agreement") with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, as lender and administrative agent, which provides a $100.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "M&T term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $200.0 million, subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain conditions. The proceeds from the M&T term loan facility were used to repay the loans secured by the Wills Wharf, 249 Central Park Retail, Fountain Plaza Retail, and South Retail properties. The M&T term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of March 8, 2027, with a one-year extension option, subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee.
The M&T term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by the Operating Partnership based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on the Company's total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by M&T Bank as its “prime rate” for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50%, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.00%. The Operating Partnership has elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., the Operating Partnership may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
As of each of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the outstanding balance on the M&T term loan facility was $100.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, the effective interest rate on the M&T term loan facility, before giving effect to interest rate swaps, was 6.72%. After giving effect to interest rate swaps, the effective interest rate on the M&T term loan facility was 4.90% as of September 30, 2023. The Operating Partnership may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the M&T term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided certain conditions are met.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the M&T term loan facility, and its obligations under the M&T term loan facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty. The M&T term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Company's ability to borrow under the M&T term loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions. The term loan agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the M&T term loan facility to be immediately due and payable.
TD Term Loan Facility
On May 19, 2023, the Company, as parent guarantor, and the Operating Partnership, as borrower, entered into a term loan agreement (the "TD term loan agreement") with Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, as administrative agent, and TD Bank, N.A. as lender, which provides a $75.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "TD term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $150.0 million, subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain conditions. The proceeds from the TD term loan facility were used in connection with the acquisition of The Interlock, which is detailed in Note 5. The TD term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of May 19, 2025, with a one-year extension option, subject to the Company's satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.15% extension fee.
The TD term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by the Operating Partnership based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on the Company's total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50% (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate” for such day, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.00%. The Operating Partnership has elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., the Operating Partnership may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
On June 29, 2023, the TD term loan facility commitment increased to $95.0 million as a result of the addition of a second lender to the facility.
As of September 30, 2023, the outstanding balance on the TD term loan facility was $95.0 million. As of September 30, 2023, the effective interest rate on the TD term loan facility, before giving effect to interest rate swaps, was 6.82%. After giving effect to interest rate swaps, the effective interest rate on the TD term loan facility was 4.70% as of September 30, 2023. The Operating Partnership may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the TD term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided certain conditions are met.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the TD term loan facility, and its obligations under the TD term loan facility are guaranteed by the Company and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty. The TD term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. The Company's ability to borrow under the TD term loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions. The TD term loan agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the TD term loan facility to be immediately due and payable.
The Company is currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement, the M&T term loan agreement, and TD term loan agreement, all of which are substantially similar.

9. Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company enters into interest rate derivative contracts to manage exposure to interest rate risks. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. Derivative financial instruments are recognized at fair value and presented within other assets and other liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Gains and losses resulting from changes in the fair value of derivatives that are neither designated nor qualify as hedging instruments are recognized within the change in fair value of derivatives and other in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. For derivatives that qualify as cash flow hedges, the gain or loss is reported as a component of other comprehensive income (loss) and reclassified into earnings in the periods during which the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.
As of September 30, 2023, the Company had the following SOFR interest rate caps ($ in thousands):

11. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company’s Amended and Restated 2013 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended June 14, 2023 (the "Equity Plan"), permits the grant of restricted stock awards, stock options, stock appreciation rights, performance units, LTIP Units and other equity-based awards up to an aggregate of 3,400,000 shares of common stock. As of September 30, 2023, there were 1,567,039 shares available for issuance under the Equity Plan.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company granted an aggregate of 432,605 shares of restricted stock and LTIP Units to employees and non-employee directors with a weighted average grant date fair value of $12.47 per share or LTIP Unit. Of those shares, 87,986 were surrendered by the employees for income tax withholdings and 2,800 were forfeited in accordance with service conditions of grants (excluding items noted below). Employee restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of two years: one-third immediately on the grant date and the remaining two-thirds in equal amounts on the first two anniversaries following the grant date, subject to continued service to the Company. Executive officers' restricted shares generally vest over a period of three years: two-fifths immediately on the grant date and the remaining three-fifths in equal amounts on the first three anniversaries following the grant date, subject to continued service to the Company. Non-employee director restricted stock awards or LTIP Units may vest either immediately upon grant or over a period of one year, subject to continued service to the Company. Unvested restricted stock awards and LTIP Units are entitled to receive distributions from their grant date.
During the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $0.9 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation cost. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the Company recognized $3.3 million and $3.1 million, respectively, of stock-based compensation cost. As of September 30, 2023, there were 312,233 non-vested restricted shares and LTIP Units outstanding; the total unrecognized compensation expense related to non-vested restricted shares and LTIP Units was $2.4 million, which the Company expects to recognize over the next 30 months.
As a result of the Company inadvertently issuing more shares of common stock than were available for issuance under the Equity Plan, on May 9, 2023, the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer forfeited 75,321 and 8,975 restricted shares of common stock, respectively. Following approval by the Company’s board of directors and stockholders of an amendment to the Equity Plan to increase the number of shares available for issuance thereunder, on June 20, 2023, 75,321 and 8,975 restricted shares of common stock were granted to the Company's Chief Executive Officer and the Company's Chief Financial Officer, respectively, one-third of which will vest on March 3, 2024, one-third of which will vest on March 3, 2025, and one-third of which will vest on March 3, 2026, subject to the executives' continued employment on such dates.
12. Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Fair value measurements are based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or a liability. The hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value is as follows:
Level 1 — quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
Level 2 — observable inputs other than quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and liabilities
Level 3 — unobservable inputs
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments approximate their fair values. Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are measured on a recurring basis using Level 2 inputs consist of interest rate swaps and caps. The Company measures the fair values of these assets and liabilities based on prices provided by independent market participants that are based on observable inputs using market-based valuation techniques.
Financial assets and liabilities whose fair values are not measured at fair value but for which the fair value is disclosed include the Company's notes receivable and indebtedness. The fair value is estimated by discounting the future cash flows of each instrument at estimated market rates consistent with the maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs under the fair value hierarchy.
In certain cases, the inputs used to estimate the fair value may fall into different levels of the fair value hierarchy. For disclosure purposes, the level within which the fair value measurement is categorized is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.
Considerable judgment is used to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.
The carrying amounts and fair values of the Company’s financial instruments as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022 were as follows (in thousands):
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | September 30, 2023 | | December 31, 2022 |
| | Carrying Value | | Fair Value | | Carrying Value | | Fair Value |

Notes receivable, net | | 83,713 | | | 83,713 | | | 136,039 | | | 136,039 | |

13. Related Party Transactions
The Company provides general contracting services to certain related party entities that are included in these condensed consolidated financial statements. Revenue and gross profit from construction contracts with these entities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were nominal. There were no outstanding construction receivables due from related parties as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022.
The Company provides general contracting services to the Harbor Point Parcel 3 and Harbor Point Parcel 4 ventures. See Note 5 for more information. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023, the Company recognized gross profit of $0.3 million and $1.0 million, respectively, relating to these construction contracts. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, the Company recognized gross profit of $0.2 million and $0.4 million, respectively, relating to these construction contracts.
14. Commitments and Contingencies
Legal Proceedings
The Company is from time to time involved in various disputes, lawsuits, warranty claims, environmental and other matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
The Company currently is a party to various legal proceedings, none of which management expects will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Management accrues a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is determined to be probable and a range of loss can be reasonably estimated, management accrues the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other, the minimum amount within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. Management does not believe
that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position or results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties.
Under the Company’s leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify the Company from and against all liabilities, costs, and expenses imposed upon or asserted against it as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant.
Guarantees
In connection with certain of the Company's real estate financing activities and equity method investments, the Company has made guarantees to pay portions of certain senior loans of third parties associated with the development projects. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had an outstanding guarantee liability of $0.1 million related to the $32.9 million senior loan on the Harbor Point Parcel 4. As of September 30, 2023, no amounts have been funded on this senior loan.
Commitments
The Company has a bonding line of credit for its general contracting construction business and is contingently liable under performance and payment bonds, bonds for cancellation of mechanics liens and defect bonds. Such bonds collectively totaled $7.7 million and $8.5 million as of September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
The Company has certain commitments related to its notes receivable investments that it may be required to fund in the future. The Company is generally obligated to fund these commitments at the request of the borrower or upon the occurrence of events outside of the Company's direct control. As of September 30, 2023, the Company had six notes receivable with a total of $52.1 million of unfunded commitments. If commitments are funded in the future, interest will be charged at rates consistent with the existing investments. As of September 30, 2023, the Company has recorded a $0.9 million CECL allowance that relates to the unfunded commitments, which was recorded as a liability in other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheet. See Note 6 for more information.

•environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;

•limitations imposed on our business and our ability to satisfy complex rules in order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
•changes in governmental regulations or interpretations thereof, such as real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates and taxation of REITs; and
•potential negative impacts from changes to U.S. tax laws.
While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urge investors to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and uncertainties in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as risks, uncertainties, and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Acquisitions
On January 14, 2023, we acquired an additional 11% membership interest in the Constellation Energy Building, increasing our ownership interest to 90%, in exchange for full satisfaction of the $12.8 million loan that was extended to the seller upon the acquisition of the property in January 2022.
On May 19, 2023, we acquired The Interlock, a 311,000 square foot Class A commercial mixed-use asset in West Midtown Atlanta anchored by Georgia Tech. The Interlock consists of office and retail space as well as structured parking. For segment reporting purposes, we separated the office and retail components of The Interlock into two operating properties respectively presented in the office and retail real estate segments. We acquired the asset for total consideration of $214.1 million plus capitalized acquisition costs of $1.2 million. As part of this acquisition, we paid $6.1 million in cash, redeemed our outstanding $90.2 million mezzanine loan, issued $12.2 million of Class A units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership to the seller, and assumed the asset's senior construction loan of $105.6 million, that was paid off on the acquisition date using the proceeds of the TD term loan facility and an increase in borrowings under the revolving credit facility (each as defined below). We also assumed the leasehold interest in the underlying land owned by Georgia Tech. The ground lease has an expiration in 2117 after considering renewal options.
Dispositions
On April 11, 2023, we completed the sale of a non-operating outparcel at Market at Mill Creek in full satisfaction of the outstanding consideration payable for the acquisition of the noncontrolling interest in the property completed on December 31, 2022. The gain recorded on this disposition was $0.5 million.
On September 20, 2023, we exercised our option to purchase an outparcel adjacent to Brooks Crossing Retail and subsequently sold the outparcel. The gain recorded on this disposition was $0.2 million.
Preferred Equity Investments
Solis Gainesville II
On March 29, 2023, the Solis Gainesville II preferred equity investment was modified to adjust the interest rate. The interest rate of 14% remains effective through the first 24 months of the investment. Beginning on October 3, 2024, the
investment will bear interest at a rate of 10% for 12 months. On October 3, 2025, the investment will again bear interest at a rate of 14% through maturity. Additionally, the amendment introduced an unused commitment fee of 10% on the unfunded portion of the investment's maximum loan commitment, which is effective January 1, 2023. Both the interest and unused commitment fee compound annually. The preferred equity investment remains subject to minimum interest guarantee of $5.9 million over the life of the investment, which represents approximately 24 months of interest.
Solis Kennesaw
On May 25, 2023, we entered into a $37.9 million preferred equity investment for the development of a multifamily property located in Marietta, Georgia. The investment has economic terms consistent with a note receivable, including a mandatory redemption or maturity on May 25, 2027, and it is accounted for as a note receivable. Our investment bears interest at a rate of 14.0% for the first 24 months. Beginning on May 25, 2025, the investment will bear interest at a rate of 9.0% for the following twelve months. On May 25, 2026, the investment will again bear interest at a rate of 14.0% through maturity. The interest compounds annually. We also earn an unused commitment fee of 11.0%, which does not compound, and an equity fee on our commitment of $0.6 million to be amortized through redemption. The preferred equity investment is subject to a minimum interest guarantee of $13.1 million over the life of the investment, which represents approximately 27 months of interest.
Solis Peachtree Corners
On July 26, 2023, we entered into a $28.4 million preferred equity investment for the development of a multifamily property located in Peachtree Corners, Georgia ("Solis Peachtree Corners"). The preferred equity investment has economic and other terms consistent with a note receivable, including a mandatory redemption feature effective on October 27, 2027. Our investment bears interest at a rate of 15.0% for the first 27 months. Beginning on November 1, 2025, the investment will bear interest at a rate of 9.0% for 12 months. On November 1, 2026, the investment will again bear interest at a rate of 15.0% through maturity. The interest compounds annually. We also earn an unused commitment fee of 10.0% on the unfunded portion of the investment's maximum loan commitment, which also compounds annually, and an equity fee on our commitment of $0.4 million to be amortized through redemption. The preferred equity investment is subject to a minimum interest guarantee of $12.0 million over the life of the investment, which represents approximately 30 months of interest.
The Allure at Edinburgh
On July 26, 2023, we entered into a $9.2 million preferred equity investment for the development of a multifamily property located in Chesapeake, Virginia ("The Allure at Edinburgh"). The preferred equity investment has economic and other terms consistent with a note receivable, including a mandatory redemption feature effective on January 16, 2028. Our investment bears interest at a rate of 15.0%, which does not compound. Upon The Allure at Edinburgh obtaining a certificate of occupancy, the investment will bear interest at a rate of 10.0%. The common equity partner in the development property holds an option to sell the property to us at a predetermined amount if certain conditions are met. We also hold an option to purchase the property at any time prior to maturity of the preferred equity investment, and at the same predetermined amount as the common equity partner's option to sell.

Segment Results of Operations
As of September 30, 2023, we operated our business in five segments: (i) retail real estate, (ii) office real estate, (iii) multifamily real estate, (iv) general contracting and real estate services, and (v) real estate financing. Our general contracting and real estate services segment is conducted through our taxable REIT subsidiary ("TRS"). Net operating income ("NOI") is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. We calculate NOI as segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues include rental revenues for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services revenues for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest income for our real estate financing segment. Segment expenses include rental expenses and real estate taxes for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services expenses for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest expense for our real estate financing segment. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP") and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for a reconciliation of NOI to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
We define same store properties as those properties that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods presented. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is fully or partially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the occupancy criterion above is again met. A property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of computing same store operating results.

Real Estate Financing Segment Data
During the first quarter of 2023, we updated our reportable segments to include real estate financing. This segment includes our mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments on development projects. The addition of the real estate financing segment is consistent with how we view our operating performance and how the chief operational decision maker allocates our resources. The change in segmental presentation is a result of our continued investment in development projects through financing, which we no longer consider to be ad hoc investments, but an evolving portfolio. We also believe this change in segmental presentation further assists stockholders in assessing pertinent information about our operating performance. Our goal is to target approximately $80.0 million in outstanding principal of real estate financing investments. We underwrite these investments from a position of potential ownership. The real estate financing portfolio thereby serves as a development pipeline, particularly for growth in our multifamily real estate segment.

Real estate financing gross profit for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased 9.3% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to higher interest income rates on outstanding real estate financing investments in 2023, partially offset by rising interest rates on debt used to fund our investments. Real estate financing gross profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was materially consistent with the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

General contracting and real estate services revenues for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $30.4 million and $147.3 million, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to the timing of commencement of new third-party construction projects in 2023 and higher contract volume.
Interest income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 5.7% and 4.0%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to new real estate financing investments in 2023, partially offset by the repayment of the Nexton Multifamily real estate financing investment in December 2022 and the redemption of The Interlock real estate financing investment in May 2023.
Rental expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 15.8% and 8.6%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 as follows (in thousands):

Retail real estate taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 4.8% and 1.1%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the acquisition of The Interlock Retail in May 2023 and Pembroke Square in November 2022.
Office real estate taxes for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 10.7% and 16.9%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the acquisition of The Interlock Office in May 2023 as well as increases in property tax assessments.
Multifamily real estate taxes for the three months ended September 30, 2023 increased 7.4% compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to increases in property tax assessments. Multifamily real estate taxes for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased 18.2% compared to the nine September 30, 2022 primarily due to the dispositions of The Residences of Annapolis Junction in July 2022, Hoffler Place in April 2022, and Summit Place in April 2022.
General contracting and real estate services expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased $29.8 million and $142.8 million, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 due to new third-party contracts undertaken in 2023.
Depreciation and amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 28.2% and 10.8%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the acquisition of The Interlock in May 2023 and Pembroke Square in November 2022.
Amortization of right-of-use assets - finance leases for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 52.9% and 25.9%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to the ground lease assumed in conjunction with the acquisition of The Interlock.
General and administrative expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 11.2% and 13.2%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to increased employee headcount as well as higher compensation, benefits, and training and development costs resulting from increased investment in human capital. The increase is further explained by an increase in professional services expenses in connection with debt and equity transactions.
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 were materially consistent with the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Impairment charges for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and September 30, 2022 were immaterial.
Interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 increased 49.3% and 43.9%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, primarily due to higher levels of indebtedness in connection with the funding of development projects, real estate financing investments, and acquisitions and the amortization of additional debt financing costs, partially offset by debt paid off in connection with dispositions. The increase is also attributable to rising interest rates, largely offset by hedging interest rate derivatives.
There was no loss on extinguishment of debt for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023. Loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.1 million and $2.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, respectively, primarily relates to the loan payoffs of Marketplace at Hilltop, Brooks Crossing Office, One City Center, 1405 Point, Red Mill
West and Delray Beach Plaza, the refinance of Liberty Apartments and Nexton Square, and the loan payoffs associated with the dispositions of Hoffler Place, Summit Place, and the Costco outparcel at North Pointe.
The change in fair value of derivatives and other for the three months ended September 30, 2023 includes fair value increases for our derivative instruments due to increases in forward SOFR (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate). The change in fair value of derivatives and other for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 includes fair value increases for our derivative instruments due to increases in forward SOFR, LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate), and BSBY (the Bloomberg Short-Term Yield Index).
Changes in unrealized credit loss (provision) release for the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2022 were primarily the result of increases in note receivable balances for the Solis Peachtree Corners and The Allure at Edinburgh real estate financing investments.
Other income (expense), net for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 decreased compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022. The decreases were immaterial.
The income tax provision and benefits that we recognized during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 were attributable to the taxable profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses, and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects, mezzanine loan funding requirements, and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans to fund new real estate development and construction, borrowings available under our credit facility, and net proceeds from the opportunistic sale of common stock through our ATM Program, which is discussed below.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements, and capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of equity and debt securities, and the opportunistic disposition of non-core properties. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of September 30, 2023, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $32.7 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development and redevelopment activities. We also had restricted cash in escrow of $2.3 million, some of which is available for capital expenditures and certain operating expenses at our operating properties. As of September 30, 2023, we had $155.0 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $53.4 million of available borrowings under our construction loans to fund development activities. During the three months ended September 30, 2023, we increased outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility by $46.0 million, which were largely used to fund our Solis Peachtree Corners and The Allure at Edinburgh real estate financing investments, as well as our Harbor Point Parcel 4 mixed-use development project.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we began to implement a strategic transformation of the composition of borrowings by refinancing secured property debt with unsecured property debt in order to increase the flexibility of our financing cash flows. We continue to implement this transformation in the current fiscal year. As of September 30, 2023, unsecured debt represented 52.4% of our total borrowings compared to 32.2% as of September 30, 2022.
We have no loans scheduled to mature during the remainder of 2023.
ATM Program
On March 10, 2020, we commenced an at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program") through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock and shares of our 6.75% Series A
Cumulative Redeemable Perpetual Preferred Stock (the "Series A Preferred Stock") having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, to or through our sales agents and, with respect to shares of our common stock, may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through the forward purchaser.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we did not issue any shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM Program. Shares having an aggregate offering price of $205.0 million remained unsold under the ATM Program as of November 3, 2023.
Share Repurchase Program
On June 15, 2023, we adopted a $50.0 million share repurchase program (the "Share Repurchase Program"). Under the Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock from time to time in the open market, in block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions, the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), or other means permitted. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specific period of time. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time by us and does not have an expiration date.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we repurchased 62,293 shares of common stock. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As of September 30, 2023, $49.4 million remained available for repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.
Credit Facility
On August 23, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $550.0 million credit facility comprised of a $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks. Subject to available borrowing capacity, we intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, mezzanine lending, and development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio, and for working capital.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 22, 2027, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 21, 2028.
On August 29, 2023, we increased the capacity of the revolving credit facility by $105.0 million by exercising the accordion feature in part, bringing the revolving credit facility capacity to $355.0 million and the total credit facility capacity to $655.0 million.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, and the term loan facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, in each case depending on our total leverage. We also are obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings. Our unencumbered borrowing pool will support revolving borrowings of up to $335.8 million, as of September 30, 2023.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
•total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The Credit Agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The Credit Agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans, and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts our ability to repurchase stock and OP Units during the term of the credit facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without significant premium or penalty, except for those portions subject to an interest rate swap agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
M&T Term Loan Facility
On December 6, 2022, we entered into a term loan agreement (the "M&T term loan agreement") with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, which provides a $100.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "M&T term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $200.0 million, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. The M&T term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of March 8, 2027, with a one-year extension option, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee.
The M&T term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by us based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on our total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by M&T Bank as its “prime rate” for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50%, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.00%. We have elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the M&T term loan facility, and its obligations under the M&T term loan facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The M&T term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the M&T term loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the M&T term loan facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the M&T term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the M&T term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the M&T term loan facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The M&T term loan agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The M&T term loan agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts our ability to repurchase stock and OP Units during the term of the M&T term loan facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the M&T term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided certain conditions are met.
The M&T term loan agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the M&T term loan facility to be immediately due and payable. A default under the Credit Agreement would also constitute a default under the M&T term loan agreement.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the M&T term loan agreement.
TD Term Loan Facility
On May 19, 2023, we entered into a term loan agreement (the "TD term loan agreement") with Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, as administrative agent, and TD Bank, N.A. as lender, which provides a $75.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "TD term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $150.0 million, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. The TD term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of May 19, 2025, with a one-year extension option, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions, including an extension fee payment of 0.15% of the outstanding amount of the loan as of such date.
The TD term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by us based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on our total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50% (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate” for such day, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.00%. We have elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
On June 29, 2023, the TD term loan facility commitment increased to $95.0 million as a result of the addition of a second lender to the facility.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the TD term loan facility, and its obligations under the TD term loan
facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The TD term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the TD term loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the TD term loan facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;

•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the TD term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 20%;

•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The TD term loan agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The TD term loan agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts our ability to repurchase stock and OP Units during the term of the TD term loan facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the TD term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided certain conditions are met.
The TD term loan agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the TD term loan facility to be immediately due and payable. A default under the Credit Agreement would also constitute a default under the TD term loan agreement.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the TD term loan agreement.

(a) Transitioned to SOFR during the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
(b) On July 6, 2023, we terminated a SOFR corridor of 1.00%-3.00% with a notional amount of $50.0 million and entered into this interest rate swap agreement. We paid a net zero premium for this transaction.
(c) Effective April 4, 2023, we terminated our 4.00% BSBY interest rate cap with a notional amount of $175.0 million and our BSBY corridor of 1.00%-3.00% with a notional amount of $175.0 million and, effective April 3, 2023, entered into this interest rate swap agreement. We paid a net zero premium for this transaction.
(d) On July 5, 2023, we terminated a SOFR corridor of 1.00%-3.00% with a notional amount of $200.0 million, and entered into this interest rate swap agreement. We paid a net zero premium for this transaction.
(e) This interest rate swap agreement reduces our interest rate exposure on the $180.4 million senior construction loan secured by our Harbor Point Parcel 3 equity method investment. As such, the loan is not reflected on our consolidated balance sheets. We also paid $3.6 million to reduce the swap fixed rate. This interest rate swap agreement was executed in September 2023, but was not effective until October 2, 2023.
(f) We paid $13.3 million to reduce the swap fixed rate. This interest rate swap agreement was executed in September 2023, but was not effective until October 1, 2023.
(g) Subject to cancellation by the counterparty beginning on May 1, 2025 and the first day of each month thereafter.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In connection with certain of our real estate financing activities and equity method investments, we have made guarantees to pay portions of certain senior loans of third parties associated with the development projects. As of September 30, 2023, we had an outstanding guarantee liability of $0.1 million related to the $32.9 million senior loan on the Harbor Point Parcel 4. As of September 30, 2023, no amounts have been funded on this senior loan.
In connection with our Harbor Point Parcel 3 unconsolidated joint venture, we are responsible for providing a completion guarantee to the lender for this project.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
We may be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our borrowers. These commitments are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheet. As of September 30, 2023, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $52.1 million of unfunded commitments of our notes receivable. We have recorded a $0.9 million credit loss reserve in conjunction with the total unfunded commitments. Such commitments are subject to our borrowers’ satisfaction of certain financial and nonfinancial covenants and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The commitments may or may not be funded depending on a variety of circumstances including timing, credit metric hurdles, and other nonfinancial events occurring.

Net cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was materially consistent with the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash used in investing activities increased $194.9 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily because of proceeds received for dispositions in 2022, as well as increases in real estate financing note receivable issuances.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, net cash provided by financing activities increased $158.9 million
compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2022 primarily due to higher net borrowings in 2023 partially offset by the absence of equity issuances during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 compared to equity issuances of $65.2 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains or losses from the sales of certain real estate assets, gains or losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ calculations of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment and accelerated amortization of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development, and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, amortization of payments made to purchase interest rate caps and swaps designated as cash flow hedges, provision for unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items. Other equity REITs may not calculate Normalized FFO in the same manner as we do, and, accordingly, our Normalized FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' Normalized FFO.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and Normalized FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon then-currently available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates. We discuss the accounting policies and estimates that are most critical to understanding our reported financial results in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and regulations of the SEC and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.
We have carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of September 30, 2023, the end of the period covered by this report.
