Leases [Abstract] |
Leases | 11. Leases As Lessor The Company is engaged in the operation of shopping centers and other retail properties that are either owned or, with respect to certain shopping centers, operated under long-term ground leases (see below) that expire at various dates through June 20, 2066, with renewal options (see below). Space in the shopping centers is leased to tenants pursuant to agreements that provide for terms ranging generally from one month to sixty years and generally provide for additional rents based on certain operating expenses as well as tenants’ sales volumes. During the three months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company earned $12.8 million and $13.2 million, respectively, and during the six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, the Company earned $27.3 million and $26.6 million, respectively in variable lease revenues, primarily for real estate taxes and common area maintenance charges, which are included in rental income in the consolidated statements of operations. As Lessee During the three months ended June 30, 2020, the Company:
| • | entered into one new office lease as lessee for which the rent commencement date is anticipated in the third quarter of 2020;

| • | recorded three new finance leases effective January 1, 2019 upon the implementation of ASC 842. An assessment of triggering events whereby the Company’s cumulative leasehold investment made it reasonably certain that the Company would exercise its purchase options;

Finance lease cost comprises amortization of right-of-use assets for certain ground leases, which is included in Property operating expense, as well as interest on lease liabilities, which is included in Interest expense in the consolidated statements of operations. Lease Obligations The scheduled future minimum (i) rental revenues from rental properties under the terms of non-cancelable tenant leases greater than one year (assuming no new or renegotiated leases or option extensions for such premises) and (ii) rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable operating and finance leases in which the Company is the lessee, principally for office space, land and equipment, as of June 30, 2020, are summarized as follows (in thousands):
Year Ending December 31, |  | Minimum Rental Revenues (a) |  |  | Minimum Rental Payments (b) |
2020 (Remainder) |  | $ | 104,368 |  |  | $ | 3,213 |
2021 |  |  | 212,996 |  |  |  | 8,289 |
2022 |  |  | 194,004 |  |  |  | 7,498 |
2023 |  |  | 170,353 |  |  |  | 7,494 |
2024 |  |  | 145,120 |  |  |  | 7,654 |
Thereafter |  |  | 590,198 |  |  |  | 170,432 |
Total |  | $ | 1,417,039 |  |  | $ | 204,580 |
(a) | Amount represents contractual lease maturities at June 30, 2020. During the end of March 2020, numerous tenants were forced to suspend operations by government mandate as a result of the COVID-19 Pandemic. The Company has negotiated payment agreements with its tenants which resulted in rent concessions or deferral of rents billed for the second quarter 2020.
(b) | Minimum rental payments include $110.6 million of interest related to leases.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2020 and 2019, no single tenant or property collectively comprised more than 10% of the Company’s consolidated total revenues. COVID-19 Pandemic Impacts Beginning in March 2020, the pandemic outbreak of a novel strain of coronavirus (the “COVID-19 Pandemic”) has adversely affected economic activity and significantly decreased consumer activity, both on a global and domestic level. The COVID-19 Pandemic and government responses created disruption in global supply chains and adversely impacting many industries, including the domestic retail sectors in which the Company’s tenants operate. The COVID-19 Pandemic could continue to have a material adverse impact on economic and market conditions and trigger a period of global economic slowdown. Under governmental restrictions and guidance, certain retailers were considered “essential businesses” and were permitted to remain fully operating during the COVID-19 Pandemic, while other “non-essential businesses” were ordered to decrease or close operations for an indeterminate period of time to protect their employees and customers from the spread of the virus. These disruptions, which continue to a lesser extent as of the date of this Report, have impacted the collectability of rent from the Company’s affected tenants. The Company cannot estimate with reasonable certainty which currently operating tenants will remain open or if and when non-operating retailers will re-open for business as the COVID-19 Pandemic progresses.
| • | Tenant Operating Status - As of June 30, 2020, approximately 74% (compared to 38% at April 30) of the Company’s consolidated and unconsolidated annualized base rents (“ABR”) are derived from stores which were open or partially open for business. While the Company considers disruptions related to the COVID-19 Pandemic to be temporary, if the disruptions continue, they may have a material, adverse effect on the Company’s revenues, results of operations, financial condition, and liquidity for the year ending December 31, 2020.
| • | Rent Collections – As of June 30, 2020, collections and negotiated concessions of April, May and June 2020 rents are approximately 83% (compared to 50% at April 30) of billed rents for the Core Portfolio. As of June 30, 2020, collections of April, May and June 2020 rents are approximately 62% for the Fund Portfolio. Collections of rents billed in March 2020 were not significantly impacted by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Rent concession agreements (discussed below) are still being negotiated for a portion of remaining uncollected rents.
| • | Rent Concession Agreements – During the quarter ended June 30, 2020, the Company executed 98 rent concession arrangements with tenants comprised of 92 agreements for rent deferral and 6 agreements for rent forgiveness. Of these deferral agreements, 91 were accounted for as if no changes to the contract were made and therefore there were no changes to the current or future recognition of revenue and $3.0 million of deferred receivables are included in Accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheet. The impact of the rent forgiveness agreements was a reduction in Rental income of $0.8 million in the consolidated statements of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2020. In addition, as lessee, the Company has deferred lease payments on certain office space aggregating $0.1 million through December 2021, which has been recorded in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2020.
| • | Collection Reserves – The Company reassessed its reserves for collection losses with respect to its billed receivables and straight-line rents receivable and recorded aggregate charges of $15.9 million, of which the Company’s share was $12.9 million, during the six months ended June 30, 2020 related to estimated future losses associated with the effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic.
| • | Occupancy – At June 30, 2020, the Company’s pro rata Core and Fund leased occupancy rates were 93.3% and 91.1%, respectively, compared to 93.9% and 93.2%, respectively, at March 31, 2020 reflecting primarily anticipated lease expirations and space recaptures.
| • | Bankruptcy Risk – Through June 30, 2020 there have been numerous bankruptcies of national retailers, some of which are tenants of the Company. Of these bankruptcies, the Core Portfolio has 11 stores, with ABR attributable to Acadia totaling $2.0 million, or 1.4% of Core ABR, and the Fund Portfolio has 17 stores, with ABR attributable to Acadia totaling $0.4 million, or 1.8% of Fund ABR, for which it is possible that these leases may be rejected in future bankruptcy proceedings.
| • | On March 27, 2020, President Trump signed into law the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act.” The CARES
Act, among other things, includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of employer side social security payments, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations, increased limitations on qualified charitable contributions, and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. It also appropriated funds for the SBA Paycheck Protection Program loans that are forgivable in certain situations to promote continued employment, as well as Economic Injury Disaster Loans to provide liquidity to small businesses harmed by the COVID-19 Pandemic. Management has not yet determined the impact that the CARES Act will have on the Company and ultimately on its financial condition, results of operations, or liquidity for 2020. See Note 15 for updates to some of these results through July 31, 2020.
