Organization Consolidation And Presentation Of Financial Statements [Abstract] |
Nature of Business | Nature of Business SITE Centers Corp. and its related consolidated real estate subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company” or “SITE Centers”) and unconsolidated joint ventures are primarily engaged in the business of acquiring, owning, developing, redeveloping, leasing, financing and managing shopping centers. Unless otherwise provided, references herein to the Company or SITE Centers include SITE Centers Corp. and its wholly-owned subsidiaries and consolidated joint ventures. The Company’s tenant base primarily includes national and regional retail chains and local tenants. Consequently, the Company’s credit risk is concentrated in the retail industry.
Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements | Use of Estimates in Preparation of Financial Statements The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the year. The Company considered impacts to its estimates related to COVID-19, as appropriate, within its unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and there may be changes to those estimates in future periods. The Company believes that its accounting estimates are appropriate after giving consideration to the increased uncertainties surrounding the severity and duration of the COVID-19 pandemic. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Unaudited Interim Financial Statements | Unaudited Interim Financial Statements These financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Accordingly, they do not include all information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. However, in the opinion of management, the interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the results of the periods presented. The results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020 and 2019, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation The consolidated financial statements include the results of the Company and all entities in which the Company has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). All significant inter-company balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Investments in real estate joint ventures in which the Company has the ability to exercise significant influence, but does not have financial or operating control, are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the Company’s share of the earnings (or loss) of these joint ventures is included in consolidated net income (loss). The Company has two unconsolidated joint ventures included in the Company’s joint venture investments that are considered VIEs for which the Company is not the primary beneficiary. The Company’s maximum exposure to losses associated with these VIEs is limited to its aggregate investment, which was $96.7 million and $114.0 million as of September 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively. In July 2020, the Company entered into agreements with affiliates of The Blackstone Group L.P. (“Blackstone”) to terminate these joint ventures (Note 3).

Common Shares | Common Shares The Company declared common share dividends of $0.20 per share in the first quarter of 2020, and $0.20 per share in each of the first, second and third quarters of 2019. In order to maintain maximum flexibility given the uncertain impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on its business, the Company’s Board of Directors elected not to declare a dividend on its common shares for the second and third quarters of 2020.
New Accounting Standards | New Accounting Standards Accounting for Credit Losses In June 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an amendment on measurement of credit losses on financial assets held by a reporting entity at each reporting date (Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses, “Topic 326”). The guidance requires the use of a new current expected credit loss ("CECL") model in estimating allowances for doubtful accounts with respect to accounts receivable, straight-line rents receivable and notes receivable. The CECL model requires that the Company estimate its lifetime expected credit loss with respect to these receivables and record allowances that, when deducted from the balance of the receivables, represent the estimated net amounts expected to be collected. This guidance is effective for fiscal years, and for interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2019. In November 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-19, to clarify that operating lease receivables, including straight-line rent receivables, recorded by lessors are explicitly excluded from the scope of Topic 326. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounting for Leases During the COVID-19 Pandemic In April 2020, the FASB issued a question-and-answer document (the “Lease Modification Q&A”) focused on the application of lease accounting guidance to lease concessions provided as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. Under existing lease guidance, the Company would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant (treated with the lease modification accounting framework) or if a lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations within the existing lease agreement (precluded from applying the lease modification accounting framework). The Lease Modification Q&A clarifies that entities may elect not to evaluate whether lease-related relief that lessors provide to mitigate the economic effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on lessees is a lease modification under Topic 842, Leases. Instead, an entity that elects not to evaluate whether a concession directly related to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic is a modification can then elect whether to apply the modification guidance (i.e. assume the relief was always contemplated by the contract or assume the relief was not contemplated by the contract). Both lessees and lessors may make this election. The Company has elected not to apply lease modification accounting to lease amendments in which the total amount of rent due under the lease is substantially the same and there has been no increase in the lease term. A majority of the Company’s concession amendments within this category provide for the deferral of rental payments to a later date within the remaining lease term. In addition, if abatements are granted as part of a lease amendment, the Company has generally elected to not treat the abatements as variable rent and instead will record the concession’s impact over the tenant’s remaining lease term on a straight-line basis. Modifications to leases that involve an increase in the lease term have been treated as a lease modification. The impact of lease concessions currently granted to tenants as a result of the impact of the COVID‑19 pandemic made by the Company is discussed in Note 2.
