Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the "Company" mean CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries. References to the "Operating Partnership" mean CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (“CBL”), a Delaware corporation, is a self-managed, self-administered, fully-integrated real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that is engaged in the ownership, development, acquisition, leasing, management and operation of regional shopping malls, open-air and mixed-use centers, outlet centers, associated centers, community centers and office properties. Its properties are located in 24 states, but are primarily in the southeastern and midwestern United States. CBL conducts substantially all its business through CBL & Associates Limited Partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), which is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). The Operating Partnership consolidates the financial statements of all entities in which it has a controlling financial interest or where it is the primary beneficiary of a VIE. As of June 30, 2021, the Operating Partnership owned interests in the following properties:
|  |  |  |  |  | All Other Properties |  |  |  |  |
|  | Malls (1) |  |  | Associated Centers |  |  | Community Centers |  |  | Office Buildings and Other |  |  | Total |
Consolidated Properties (2) |  |  | 49 |  |  |  | 20 |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 74 |
Unconsolidated Properties (3) |  |  | 12 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 5 |  |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 24 |
Total |  |  | 61 |  |  |  | 23 |  |  |  | 6 |  |  |  | 8 |  |  |  | 98 |
(1) | Category consists of regional malls, open-air centers and outlet centers (including one mixed-use center).
(2) | CBL's two corporate office buildings are included within the Office Buildings and Other category.
(3) | The Operating Partnership accounts for these investments using the equity method because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights.
The Malls and All Other Properties ("Associated Centers, Community Centers, Office Buildings and Other") are collectively referred to as the “Properties” and individually as a “Property.” CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. At June 30, 2021, CBL Holdings I, Inc., the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, owned a 1.0% general partner interest in the Operating Partnership and CBL Holdings II, Inc. owned a 96.5% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 97.5%. Historically, the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership has been held by CBL & Associates, Inc., its shareholders and affiliates and certain senior officers of the Company (collectively "CBL's Predecessor"), all of which contributed their interests in certain real estate properties and joint ventures to the Operating Partnership in exchange for a limited partner interest when the Operating Partnership was formed in November 1993, and by various third parties. At June 30, 2021, CBL’s Predecessor no longer owned any limited partner interest and third parties owned a 2.5% limited partner interest in the Operating Partnership. CBL's Predecessor owned 20.0 million shares of CBL’s common stock at June 30, 2021, for a total effective interest of 10.0% in the Operating Partnership. As used herein, the term "Company" includes CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries, unless the context indicates otherwise. The term "Operating Partnership" refers to CBL & Associates Limited Partnership and its subsidiaries. The Operating Partnership conducts the Company's property management and development activities through its wholly owned subsidiary, CBL & Associates Management, Inc. (the “Management Company"), to comply with certain requirements of the Internal Revenue Code. Bankruptcy Accounting The condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared as if the Company were a going concern and in accordance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic No. 852 – Reorganizations (“ASC 852”). See Note 2 for additional details regarding the bankruptcy. As a result, the Company has segregated prepetition unsecured or under secured liabilities and obligations whose treatment and satisfaction are dependent on the outcome of the Chapter 11 proceedings and have classified these items as “Liabilities subject to compromise” on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. In addition, the Company has classified all expenses that were incurred as a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings since filing as “Reorganization items” in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. In addition to expenses, reorganization items can include realized gains or losses. COVID-19 The COVID-19 pandemic has had, and likely will continue to have, repercussions across local, national and global economies and financial markets. COVID-19 has impacted all states where the Company’s tenants operate their businesses or where the Company’s properties are located and measures taken to prevent or remediate COVID-19, including “shelter-in place” or “stay-at-home” orders or other quarantine mandates issued by local, state or federal authorities, have had an adverse effect on its business and the businesses of its tenants. The full extent of the adverse impact on, among other things, the Company’s results of operations, liquidity (including its ability to access capital markets), the possibility of future impairments of long-lived assets or its investments in unconsolidated joint ventures, its compliance with debt covenants, its ability to renew and re-lease its leased space, the outlook for the retail environment, potential bankruptcies or other store closings and its ability to develop, acquire, dispose or lease properties, is unknown and will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted. While the majority of the most restrictive mandates have been lifted, state and local governments and other authorities are in varying stages of lifting or modifying some of the measures used to mitigate or control the spread of the virus. Even though vaccines have started to be administered, the COVID-19 pandemic could worsen at any time, which could cause new or more restrictive measures to be implemented to prevent the spread of the virus. In fact, certain markets have implemented new restrictions as a result of break-through cases and the increased spread of variants of COVID-19, including the Delta variant. Tenants and customers have gradually adapted to current conditions with services such as curbside pickup and increased consumer risk-tolerance, but there is no guarantee that retail will return to levels seen prior to the pandemic. The Company has experienced, and expects to continue to experience, a material adverse impact on its revenues, results of operations, and cash flows throughout 2021. The situation is unpredictable and additional impacts to the business may arise that the Company is not aware of currently.
