1. Organization, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Acadia Realty Trust (the “Trust”, collectively with its consolidated subsidiaries, the “Company”), a Maryland real estate investment trust (“REIT”), is a fully-integrated equity REIT focused on the ownership, acquisition, development, and management of retail properties located primarily in high-barrier-to-entry, supply-constrained, densely populated metropolitan areas in the United States.

All of the Company’s assets are held by, and all of its operations are conducted through, Acadia Realty Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and entities in which the Operating Partnership owns an interest. As of March 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Trust controlled approximately 95% of the Operating Partnership as the sole general partner and is entitled to share, in proportion to its percentage interest, in the cash distributions and profits and losses of the Operating Partnership. The limited partners primarily represent entities or individuals that contributed their interests in certain properties or entities to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common or preferred units of limited partnership interest (“Common OP Units” or “Preferred OP Units”) and employees who have been awarded restricted Common OP Units (“LTIP Units”) as long-term incentive compensation (Note 13). Limited partners holding Common OP and LTIP Units are generally entitled to exchange their units on a one-for-one basis for common shares of beneficial interest, par value $0.001 per share, of the Company (“Common Shares”). This structure is referred to as an umbrella partnership REIT or “UPREIT.”

As of March 31, 2024, the Company has ownership interests in 149 properties within its core portfolio, which consist of those properties either 100% owned, or partially owned through joint venture interests, by the Operating Partnership, or subsidiaries thereof, not including those properties owned through its funds (“Core Portfolio”). The Company also has ownership interests in 52 properties within its opportunity funds, Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund II, LLC (“Fund II”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund III LLC (“Fund III”), Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund IV LLC (“Fund IV”), and Acadia Strategic Opportunity Fund V LLC (“Fund V” and, collectively with Fund II, Fund III and Fund IV, the “Funds”). The 201 Core Portfolio and Fund properties primarily consist of street and urban retail and suburban shopping centers. In addition, the Company, together with the investors in the Funds, invested in operating companies through Acadia Mervyn Investors II, LLC (“Mervyns II”), all on a non-recourse basis.

The Operating Partnership is the sole general partner or managing member of the Funds and Mervyns II and earns fees or priority distributions for asset management, property management, construction, development, leasing, and legal services. Cash flows from the Funds and Mervyns II are distributed pro-rata to their respective partners and members (including the Operating Partnership) until each receives a certain cumulative return (“Preferred Return”) and the return of all capital contributions. Thereafter, remaining cash flow is distributed 20% to the Operating Partnership (“Promote”) and 80% to the partners or members (including the Operating Partnership). All transactions between the Funds and the Operating Partnership have been eliminated in consolidation.

The following table summarizes the general terms and Operating Partnership’s equity interests in the Funds and Mervyns II (dollars in millions):

Basis of Presentation

The interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. Operating results for the interim periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. The information furnished in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the aforementioned condensed consolidated financial statements for the interim periods. Such adjustments consisted of normal recurring items.

GAAP requires the Company’s management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the interim condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. The most significant assumptions and estimates relate to the valuation of real estate, depreciable lives, revenue recognition and the collectability of notes receivable and rents receivable. Application of these estimates and assumptions requires the exercise of judgment as to future uncertainties and, as a result, actual results could differ from these estimates.

These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s 2023 consolidated financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In August 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU 2023-05, “Business Combinations - Joint Venture Formations (Subtopic 805-60): Recognition and Initial Measurement” (“ASU 2023-05”). ASU 2023-05 addresses the accounting for contributions made to a joint venture, upon formation, in a joint venture’s separate financial statements. Prior to the amendment, the FASB did not provide specific authoritative guidance on the initial measurement of assets and liabilities assumed by a joint venture upon its formation. ASU 2023-05 requires a joint venture to recognize and initially measure its assets and liabilities at fair value (with exceptions to fair value measurement that are consistent with the business combinations guidance). ASU 2023-05 is effective for all joint venture formations with a formation date on or after January 1, 2025, with early adoption permitted. The Company has elected not to early adopt ASU 2023-05 and does not expect the adoption will have a significant impact on our consolidated financial statements.

In November 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-07 “Segment Reporting (Topic 280): Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures” (“ASU 2023-07”). ASU 2023-07 provides for additional disclosures as it relates to the Company’s segments. Additional requirements per the update include disclosures for significant segment expenses, measures of profit or loss used by the Chief Operating Decision Maker and how these measures are used to allocate resources and assess segment performance. The amendments in ASU 2023-07 will also apply to entities with a single reportable segment. ASU 2023-07 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023. The Company is evaluating the impact of this update on its disclosures and will adopt the amendments in its December 31, 2024 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In March 2024, the SEC issued final climate-disclosure rules to enhance and standardize climate-related disclosures by public companies. With regards to financial statements, the rules requires disclosure of (i) capitalized costs, expenditures expensed, charges, and losses incurred as a result of severe weather events and other natural conditions, subject to applicable 1% and de minimis disclosure thresholds; (ii) capitalized costs, expenditures expensed, and losses related to carbon offsets and renewable energy credits or certificates (RECs) if used as a material component of a company’s plans to achieve its disclosed climate-related targets or goals; and (iii) if the estimates and assumptions the company uses to produce the financial statements were materially impacted by risks and uncertainties associated with severe weather events and other natural conditions or any disclosed climate-related targets or transition plans, a qualitative description of how the development of such estimates and assumptions was impacted. The rules are effective for annual periods beginning January 1, 2025 and are to be applied prospectively. On April 4, 2024, the SEC voluntarily stayed the rules pending judicial review as a result of litigation.

Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.
