Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Organization and Basis of Presentation | Note 1 – Organization and Basis of Presentation 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, outlet centers, lifestyle centers, open-air centers, office buildings and other properties, including single-tenant and multi-tenant parcels. 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 March 31, 2022, the Operating Partnership owned interests in the following properties:
|  | Malls (1) |  |  | Outlet Centers (1) |  |  | Lifestyle Centers (1) |  |  | Open-Air Centers (2) |  |  | Other (2) (3) |  |  | Total |
Consolidated Properties |  |  | 41 |  |  |  | 2 |  |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 21 |  |  |  | 4 |  |  |  | 72 |
Unconsolidated Properties (4) |  |  | 9 |  |  |  | 3 |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 8 |  |  |  | 1 |  |  |  | 22 |
Total |  |  | 50 |  |  |  | 5 |  |  |  | 5 |  |  |  | 29 |  |  |  | 5 |  |  |  | 94 |
(1) | The Company has aggregated malls, outlet centers and lifestyle centers into one reportable segment, the Malls category, because they have similar economic characteristics and they provide similar products and services to similar types of, and in many cases, the same tenants.
(2) | Included in “All Other” for purposes of segment reporting.
(3) | CBL's two consolidated corporate office buildings are included in the Other category.
(4) | The Operating Partnership accounts for these investments using the equity method because one or more of the other partners have substantive participating rights.
CBL is the 100% owner of two qualified REIT subsidiaries, CBL Holdings I, Inc. and CBL Holdings II, Inc. As of March 31, 2022, 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 98.9% limited partner interest for a combined interest held by CBL of 99.9%. As of March 31, 2022, third parties owned a 0.1% limited partner interest 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. The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited; however, they have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC"). Accordingly, they do not include all the disclosures required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting solely of normal recurring matters) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for these interim periods have been included. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated. The results for the interim period ended March 31, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be obtained for the full fiscal year. Fresh Start Accounting and Reorganizations Upon the Company’s emergence from the Chapter 11 Cases (defined below), the Company adopted fresh start accounting, which resulted in a new basis of accounting and the Company becoming a new entity for financial reporting purposes. As a result of the application of fresh start accounting and the effects of the implementation of the third amended joint chapter 11 plan of CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. and its affiliated debtors (with technical modifications) (as modified at Docket No. 1521) (the “Plan”), the condensed consolidated financial statements after November 1, 2021 (the “Effective Date”) are not comparable with the condensed consolidated financial statements on or before that date. The lack of comparability is emphasized by the use of a “black line” to separate the Predecessor (defined below) and Successor (defined below) periods in the condensed consolidated financial statements and footnote tables. References to “Successor” or “Successor Company” relate to the financial position and results of operations of the Company after the Effective Date. References to "Predecessor" or "Predecessor Company" refer to the financial position and results of operations of the Company on or before the Effective Date. During the Predecessor period, the Company applied Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) 852 - Reorganizations (“ASC 852”) in preparing the condensed consolidated financial statements. ASC 852 requires the financial statements, for periods subsequent to the commencement of the Chapter 11 Cases, to distinguish transactions and events that are directly associated with the reorganization from the ongoing operations of the business. As a result, the Company classified all expenses, gains and losses that were incurred as a result of the Chapter 11 proceedings since filing as “Reorganization items, net” in the Predecessor Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations. Liquidity and Loan Defaults In accordance with the accounting guidance related to the presentation of financial statements, when preparing financial statements for each annual and interim reporting period, management evaluates whether there are conditions or events that, when considered in the aggregate, raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the date that the financial statements are issued. In making its assessment, management considered the Company’s current financial condition and liquidity sources. As of March 31, 2022, the Company had $1.15 billion of property-level debt and related obligations maturing or callable within the next 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements. Subsequent to March 31, 2022 and through the issuance of the financial statements, the Company obtained certain waivers and/or refinanced and extended the maturity dates for $0.2 billion of mortgage debt obligations. Accordingly, the Company still had $0.9 billion of property-level debt and related obligations maturing or callable within the next 12 months from the issuance of the financial statements, including $474 million reported within mortgage debt payable and $474 million related to unconsolidated affiliates, a portion of which is guaranteed by the Company as disclosed in Note 11 to the condensed consolidated financial statements. Such properties serving as collateral for this property-level debt and related obligations represent approximately 10-12% of projected annual operating cash flows of the Company. The Company currently does not have sufficient liquidity to meet these obligations as they become due, which raises substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. Management intends to refinance and/or extend the maturity dates for such mortgage notes payable. In such instances where a refinancing and/or extension of maturity dates is unsuccessful the Company will repay certain of the mortgage notes based on the availability of liquidity and convey certain properties to the lender to satisfy the debt obligation. As a result, the Company has concluded that management’s plans are probable of being achieved to alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company has prepared its financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern. The financial statements do not reflect any adjustments related to the recoverability of assets and satisfaction of liabilities that might be necessary should the Company be unable to continue as a going concern. Reclassifications The Successor Company reclassified mortgage and other notes receivable of $384 into other receivables for the year ended December 31, 2021.
