Estimates, Risks, and Uncertainties
The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP, which requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Significant estimates, judgments and assumptions are required in a number of areas, including, but not limited to, evaluating the impairment of long-lived assets, allocating the purchase price of acquired retail properties, determining the fair value of debt and evaluating the collectability of accounts receivable. The Company bases these estimates, judgments and assumptions on historical experience and various other factors that the Company believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Variable Interest Entities
The Company evaluates its investments in LLCs and LPs to determine whether each such entity may be a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The accounting standards related to the consolidation of VIEs require qualitative assessments to determine whether the Company is the primary beneficiary. Determination of the primary beneficiary is based on whether the Company has (i) power to direct significant activities of the VIE and (ii) an obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits that could be potentially significant to the VIE. The Company consolidates a VIE if it is deemed to be the primary beneficiary. The equity method of accounting is applied to entities in which the Company is not the primary beneficiary, or if the entity is not a VIE and the Company does not have control, but can exercise significant influence over the entity with respect to its operations and major decisions. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company had no VIEs.
Revenue Recognition
Lease Income
The majority of revenue recognized from the Company's retail properties is comprised of fixed and variable consideration received from tenants under long-term operating leases with varying terms. Fixed consideration generally consists of minimum lease payments for the rental of retail space while the variable consideration generally consists of reimbursements of the tenant's pro-rata share of certain operating expenses incurred by the Company, including real estate taxes, special assessments, insurance, utilities, common area maintenance, management fees and certain capital repairs. Certain other tenants are subject to net leases whereby the tenant is responsible for fixed minimum lease payments to the Company, as well as directly paying all costs and expenses associated with occupancy to third party service providers. Such direct payments to third parties are not recorded as revenue and expense by the Company.
In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 842, Leases, ("Topic 842"), the Company has elected to not separate lease and non-lease components for all qualifying leases. In effect, this generally relieves the Company from accounting for certain consideration under ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"). As a result of the election, all income arising from leases is presented on a combined basis as lease income, net.
Minimum lease payments are recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of each lease. The cumulative difference between fixed consideration recognized on a straight-line basis and the cash payments due under the provisions of the lease agreements is recorded as deferred rent receivable and is included as a component of accounts and rents receivable.
The Company records lease termination income when all conditions of a signed termination agreement have been met, the tenant is no longer occupying the property, and termination income amounts due are considered collectible. The Company defers recognition of contingent lease income until the specified target that triggers the contingent lease income is achieved.
The Company commences revenue recognition on its leases when the lessee takes possession of, or controls the physical use of, the leased asset, unless the lessee is constructing improvements for which the Company is deemed to be the owner for accounting purposes. If the Company is deemed the owner for accounting purposes, the leased asset is the finished space and revenue recognition commences when the lessee takes possession of it, typically when the improvements are substantially complete. Alternatively, if the lessee is deemed to be the owner of the improvements for accounting purposes, then the leased asset is the unimproved space, and any tenant improvement allowances funded under the lease are treated as lease incentives, which reduce lease income recognized over the lease term, and the Company commences revenue recognition when the lessee takes possession of the unimproved space.
The determination of who owns the tenant improvements, for accounting purposes, is based on contractual rights and subject to judgment. In making that judgment, no one factor is determinative. The Company routinely considers:
whether the lease stipulates how and on what a tenant improvement allowance may be spent;
whether the tenant is required to provide evidence supporting the cost of improvements prior to reimbursement;
whether the tenant or landlord retains legal title to the improvements;
the uniqueness of the improvements;
the expected economic life of the tenant improvements relative to the length of the lease; and
who constructs or directs the construction of the improvements.

Credit Losses
The Company reviews the collectability of amounts due from its tenants on a regular basis. Such reviews consider the tenant's financial condition and payment history and other economic conditions impacting the tenant. Changes in collectability occur when the Company no longer believes it is probable that substantially all the lease payments will be collected over the term of the lease. If collection is not probable, the lease payments will be accounted for on a cash basis and revenue will be recorded as cash is received. If reassessed, and the collection of substantially all of the lease payments from the tenant becomes probable, the accrual basis of revenue recognition is reestablished. The provision for estimated credit losses resulting from changes in the expected collectability of lease payments, including variable payments, is recognized as a direct adjustment to lease income, and a direct write-off of the operating lease receivables, including straight-line rent receivable.
Sale of Real Estate
The Company derecognizes real estate and recognizes a gain or loss when a contract exists and control of the property has transferred to the buyer. Control of the property, including controlling financial interest, is generally considered to transfer upon closing through transfer of the legal title and possession of the property, at which point the Company recognizes a gain or loss equal to the difference between the transaction price and the carrying amount of the property.
Acquisition of Real Estate
The Company evaluates the inputs, processes and outputs of each asset acquired to determine if the transaction is a business combination or asset acquisition. If an acquisition qualifies as a business combination, the related transaction costs are expensed. If an acquisition qualifies as an asset acquisition, the related transaction costs are capitalized and amortized over the useful life of the acquired assets. Generally, the Company's acquisitions of real estate qualify as asset acquisitions.
The Company allocates the purchase price of real estate to land, building, other building improvements, tenant improvements, intangible assets and liabilities (such as the value of above- and below-market leases, and in-place leases). The values of above- and below-market leases are recorded as intangible assets and intangible liabilities, respectively, and are amortized as either a decrease (in the case of above-market leases) or an increase (in the case of below-market leases) to lease income, net over the remaining term of the associated lease. The values, if any, associated with in-place leases are recorded as intangible assets and amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining lease term.
The difference between the contractual rental rates and the Company's estimate of market rental rates is measured over a period equal to the remaining non-cancelable term of the leases plus the term of any below-market renewal options. For the amortization period, the remaining term of leases with renewal options at terms below market reflect the assumed exercise of such below-market renewal options, if reasonably assured.
If a tenant vacates its space prior to the contractual expiration of the lease and no rental payments are being made on the lease, any unamortized balance of the related intangible asset or liability is written off. Tenant improvements are depreciated and origination costs are amortized over the remaining term of the lease or charged against earnings if the lease is terminated prior to its contractual expiration date.
With the assistance of a third-party valuation specialist, the Company performs the following procedures for assets acquired:
Estimate the value of the property "as if vacant" as of the acquisition date;
Allocate the value of the property among land, building, and other building improvements and determine the associated useful life for each;
Calculate the value and associated life of above- and below-market leases on a tenant-by-tenant basis. The difference between the contractual rental rates and the Company’s estimate of market rental rates is measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the leases (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired, including geographical location, size of leased area, tenant profile and credit risk);
Estimate the fair value of the tenant improvements, legal costs and leasing commissions incurred to obtain the leases and calculate the associated useful life for each;
Estimate the fair value of assumed debt, if any; and
Estimate the intangible value of the in-place leases based on lease execution costs of similar leases as well as lost rent payments during an assumed lease-up period and their associated useful lives on a tenant-by-tenant basis.

Properties Held for Sale
In determining whether to classify a property as held for sale, the Company considers whether: (i) management has committed to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the property is available for immediate sale, in its present condition; (iii) the Company has initiated a program to locate a buyer; (iv) the Company believes that the sale of the property is probable; (v) the Company has received a significant non-refundable deposit for the purchase of the property; (vi) the Company is actively marketing the property for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its estimated fair value; and (vii) actions required for the Company to complete the plan indicate that it is unlikely that any significant changes will be made to the plan. When all criteria are met, the property is classified as held for sale and carried at the lower of cost or estimated fair value less costs to sell. Additionally, if the sale represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on the Company's results and operations, the income and expenses for the period are classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Impairment of Long Lived Assets
The Company assesses the carrying values of long-lived tangible and intangible assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that they may not be fully recoverable, such as a reduction in the expected hold period of a property. When such event or circumstances occur, if it is expected that the carrying value is not recoverable because the expected undiscounted cash flows do not exceed that carrying value, the Company recognizes an impairment loss to the extent that the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. The valuation and possible subsequent impairment of investment properties is a significant estimate that can and does change based on the Company's continuous process of analyzing each property's economic condition over time and reviewing and updating assumptions about uncertain inherent factors, including observable inputs such as contractual revenues and unobservable inputs such as forecasted revenues and expenses, estimated net disposition proceeds, and discount rate. These unobservable inputs are based on a property's market conditions and expected growth rates. Assumptions and estimates about future cash flows and capitalization rates are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions and the Company's ultimate investment intent that occur subsequent to the impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in additional impairment.
The Company's assessment of expected hold period for investment properties evaluated for impairment is of particular significance because of the material impact it has on the evaluation of the property's recoverability. Changes in the Company's disposition strategy or changes in the marketplace may alter the hold period of an asset or asset group which may result in an impairment loss and such loss could be material to the Company's financial condition or operating performance.
Real Estate Capitalization and Depreciation
Real estate is reflected at cost less accumulated depreciation within investment properties on the consolidated balance sheets. Ordinary repairs and maintenance are expensed as incurred. Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method. A range of estimated useful lives of 15-30 years is used for buildings and other improvements, and a range of 3-20 years is used for furniture, fixtures and equipment.
Tenant improvements are amortized on a straight-line basis over the lesser of the life of the tenant improvement or the lease term. Amortization is included in depreciation and amortization expense. Deferred leasing costs are recognized as a part of deferred costs and other assets, net and are amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining term of the associated tenant lease.
Direct and indirect costs that are clearly related to the construction and improvements of investment properties are capitalized. Costs incurred for interest, property taxes and insurance are capitalized during periods in which activities necessary to prepare the property for its intended use are in progress.
Cash, Cash Equivalents and Restricted Cash
The Company considers all demand deposits, money market accounts and investments in certificates of deposit and repurchase agreements with a maturity of three months or less, at the date of purchase, to be cash equivalents. The Company maintains its cash and cash equivalents at financial institutions. The combined account balances at one or more institutions generally exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation ("FDIC") insurance coverage. The Company periodically assesses the credit risk associated with these financial institutions. The Company believes insignificant credit risk exists related to amounts on deposit in excess of FDIC insurance coverage.
The Company had restricted cash of $3,826 and $3,378 as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Restricted cash often consists of lenders' escrows, operating real estate escrows for taxes, insurance, capital expenditures, payments required under certain lease agreements, funds restricted through the Company's wholly-owned captive insurance company, and funds held in escrow for future acquisitions.
Fair Value Measurements
In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurement and Disclosures ("Topic 820"), the Company defines fair value based on the price that would be received upon sale of an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer or settle a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The Company uses a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of the three broad levels described below:
Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity has the ability to access.
Level 2 - Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data.
Level 3 - Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that use significant unobservable inputs.
The Company has estimated the fair value of its financial instruments and non-financial assets using available market information and valuation methodologies the Company believes to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that would be realized upon disposition.
The carrying amounts of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, accounts and rents receivables, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses, and other liabilities reasonably approximate fair value, in management’s judgment, because of their short-term nature. Fair value information pertaining to derivative financial instruments, investment properties, and debt is provided in "Note 9. Fair Value Measurements".
Stock-Based Compensation Plans
Incentive Award Plan
Effective June 19, 2015, the Company's board of directors (the "Board") adopted the InvenTrust Properties Corp. 2015 Incentive Award Plan (the "Incentive Award Plan"), under which the Company may grant cash and equity incentive awards to eligible employees, directors, and consultants. The Company has awarded time-based restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance-based RSUs, and market-based RSUs with tandem dividend equivalents. Compensation expense related to these awards, which are generally equity classified, is recognized as a part of general and administrative expense. The tandem dividend equivalent cash payments of awards granted during the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 are recognized within equity. The tandem dividend equivalent cash payments of awards granted during the year ended December 31, 2021 are recognized within earnings. Forfeitures of awards are recognized as they occur.
Time-based awards are generally measured at grant date fair value and not subsequently re-measured. Compensation expense related to these awards is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period. Time-based awards granted to employees vest equally on each of the first three or four anniversaries of the applicable vesting commencement date, subject to the employees' continued service to the Company. The time-based RSU awards granted to directors vest on the earlier of the one-year anniversary of the applicable grant date or the date of the Company's next annual meeting of its shareholders following the grant date, subject to the directors' continued service to the Company.
Performance-based awards are measured at grant date fair value and each grantee is eligible to vest in a number of RSUs ranging from 0% to 100% of the total number granted based on specified performance levels. Shares related to performance-based awards are issued within 45 days of the conclusion of the performance period and are generally subject to the recipients' continued service to the Company. Compensation cost is recognized when the performance condition is considered probable of achievement. If a performance award has more than one potential outcome, recognition of compensation cost is based on the most likely outcome. During the service period, a cumulative catch-up approach is used to account for changes in the assessment of which outcome is most likely to occur.
Market-based awards are valued as of the grant date utilizing a Monte Carlo simulation model that assesses the probability of satisfying certain market performance thresholds over a three year performance period. Shares related to market-based awards are issued within 65 days of the conclusion of the performance period and are generally subject to the recipients' continued service to the Company. The number of common shares ultimately issued is based on the Company's total shareholder return ("TSR") relative to that of the FTSE Nareit Shopping Index peer group on a percentile basis. The resulting compensation expense is recorded over the service period regardless of whether the TSR performance measures are achieved.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
Effective May 4, 2023, the Company's Board established an Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the "ESPP") through which employees may purchase shares of the Company's common stock semi-annually at a price equal to 85% of the lesser of: (a) the closing price per share on the first day of such period, and (b) the closing price per share on the last day of such period. Compensation expense related to the ESPP is recognized as a part of general and administrative expense.
Derivative Instruments
In the normal course of business, the Company is exposed to the effect of interest rate changes. The Company's objective in using interest rate derivatives is to manage its exposure to interest rate movements and add stability to interest expense. To accomplish this objective, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed rate payments over the life of the agreement without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
The Company has a policy of only entering into contracts with established financial institutions based upon their credit ratings and other factors. When viewed in conjunction with the underlying and offsetting exposure that the derivatives are designed to hedge, the Company has not sustained a material loss from those instruments, nor does it anticipate any material adverse effect on its net income or financial position in the future from the use of derivatives.
The Company recognizes all derivatives on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value. Additionally, changes in fair value will affect either equity or earnings depending on whether the derivative instruments qualify as a hedge for accounting purposes and, if so, the nature of the hedging activity. When the underlying transaction is terminated or completed, all changes in the fair value of the instrument are marked-to-market with changes in value included in earnings each period until the instrument matures. Any derivative instrument used for risk management that does not meet the criteria for hedge accounting is marked-to-market each period in earnings. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected and operates in a manner to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code") for federal income tax purposes commencing with the tax year ended December 31, 2005. To qualify as a REIT, the Company is generally required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income (subject to certain adjustments) to its stockholders each year (the "90% Distribution Requirement"). As a REIT, the Company is entitled to a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends paid to stockholders. Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income taxes as long as it currently distributes to stockholders an amount equal to or in excess of the Company's taxable income. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, without the benefit of certain relief provisions, the Company will be subject to federal and state income tax on its taxable income at regular corporate tax rates. Even if the Company qualifies for taxation as a REIT, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income, property or net worth and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed income.
From time to time, the Company may elect to treat certain of its consolidated subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs") pursuant to the Code. Among other activities, TRSs may participate in non-real estate related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and are subject to federal and state income tax at regular corporate tax rates. Income tax expense or benefit is recognized as a part of other income and expense, net. During the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023, and 2022 the Company did not have any operations within TRSs.
Income tax expense for the years ended December 31, 2024, 2023 and 2022 generally pertains to Texas margin tax. The Company has accrued no material interest or penalties relating to income taxes. As of December 31, 2024, the Company's 2024, 2023, and 2022 tax years remain subject to examination by U.S. and various state tax jurisdictions.

Improvements to
Reportable Segment
Disclosures (Topic 280)
The Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") is intended
to improve financial reporting by requiring enhanced
disclosures about significant segment expenses that are
regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker
so investors can better understand an entity's overall
performance and assess future cash flows.

In addition, the amendments enhance interim disclosure
requirements, clarify circumstances in which an entity
can disclose multiple segment measures of profit or
loss, provide new segment disclosure requirements for
entities with a single reportable segment, and contain
other disclosure requirements.
January 2024
The Company has evaluated this guidance and determined that its impact is limited to incremental disclosure and will not have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

The incremental disclosures pertaining to the Company's single reportable segment have been included in "Note 12. Segment Information".

ASU No. 2024-03
Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses (Subtopic 220-40) and related updates
The ASU is intended to improve financial reporting by requiring more granular disclosures about an entity’s expenses so investors can better understand performance, prospects for future cash flows and comparability over time.

The primary goal is to improve the decision-usefulness of expense information through disaggregation of relevant expense captions in the notes to the financial statements.
Annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026, and interim periods within annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2027.The Company continues to evaluate
this guidance and expects the impact to be limited to incremental disclosure.

The Company does not expect the standard to have an impact on the Company's financial position, results of
operations, or cash flows.
Other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed in the foregoing tables have been excluded because they are either not relevant to the Company, or are not expected to have, or did not have, a material effect on the consolidated financial statements of the Company.
