Core Portfolio Acquisition Activity

No Core Portfolio acquisitions were completed for the quarter ended December 31, 2022. For the full year 2022, the Company completed Core Portfolio acquisitions of $246.7 million. See Supplemental report for details.

Core (Urban) Disposition Activity

330-340 River Street, Boston (Cambridge), Massachusetts. In December 2022, the Company completed the disposition of 330-340 River Street at attractive pricing for $26.4 million. During the Company's ownership, lease terms with Whole Foods and Rite-Aid were extended and credit upgrades allowed the Company to obtain premium pricing on the disposition. The property generated a $7.4 million gain.

Fund Transactional Activity

Fund V Acquisition

Mohawk Commons (Fund V). Post quarter-end, in January 2023, Fund V completed the acquisition of a 90% interest in Mohawk Commons in Schenectady, New York for $62.1 million in a joint venture with DLC Management. The investment, which was funded with a new non-recourse mortgage of $39.7 million, is expected to result in mid-teens current leveraged returns. This grocery-anchored power center is currently 98% leased and is anchored by Lowe's and a shadow anchor, Target, along with other national junior anchors, including Burlington Coat Factory, PetSmart and Marshalls.

Fund IV Disposition

Promenade at Manassas (Fund IV). As previously announced, in October 2022, Fund IV completed the disposition of Promenade at Manassas in Manassas, Virginia for $46 million and repaid the mortgage of $27.3 million. This sale generated a 17% IRR, 2.2x multiple on the Fund's equity investment and a $13 million gain, of which $3 million gain was the Company's share.

ALBERTSONS SPECIAL DIVIDEND

On January 17, 2023, Albertsons announced that the State of Washington’s Supreme Court denied a motion by the Attorney General of the State of Washington to hear an appeal from the trial court’s denial of its request to enjoin the Company from paying its previously announced $6.85 per common share special dividend (the “Special Dividend”), originally scheduled to be paid November 7, 2022. Albertsons further announced that the temporary restraining order preventing the payment of the Special Divided was lifted as a result of the decision. Albertsons paid the Special Dividend on January 20, 2023. Acadia's share of the Special Dividend was approximately $11.3 million, or $0.11 per share.

Based on the legal uncertainty that existed at December 31, 2022, Acadia will recognize its share of the Special Dividend in the first quarter of fiscal year 2023.

1. This amount is not recognized within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Rather, it represents a required GAAP adjustment to the numerator within its diluted earnings per share computation to reflect an assumed conversion of potential common shares that could be subsequently issued in connection with the City Point recapitalization. Please refer to the third quarter 2022 supplemental information package for additional details. This non-recurring item only occurred in the third quarter 2022.
2. Transaction and other related costs of $2.2 million, or $0.02 per share are non-recurring items for 2022, which included (i) $1.3 million ($0.9 million of City Point recapitalization and $0.4 million of transaction costs), or $0.01 per share and (ii) $0.9 million, or $0.01 per share for acquisition and transaction costs, net of a bargain purchase gain from a Core acquisition. See footnote (a) for further details.
3. The Company is not providing 2023 guidance for unrealized changes in fair value for its investment holdings. As the Company incurs unrealized gains or losses, they will be reflected in this line item. For the period 2022, the unrealized losses are with respect to the Company's holdings in Albertsons. Any realized gains of such shares, as well as the Special Dividend of $0.11 per share received during the first quarter of 2023, will be included in Net Promote and other Core and Fund income (loss) in the period in which a sale occurs.
4. The Company defines Special Items to include (i) unrealized holding losses or gains (net of noncontrolling interest share) on investments and (ii) Transaction and other costs that do not occur in the ordinary course of the Company's underwriting and investing business.

In reliance on the exception provided by Item 10(e)(1)(i)(B) of Regulation S-K, reconciliation of the assumed range of 2023 same-property NOI growth to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure is not provided because the Company is unable to provide such reconciliation without unreasonable effort due to the multiple components of the calculation which only includes properties owned for comparable periods and excludes all corporate level activity.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Highlights:

1. For additional information and analysis concerning the Company’s balance sheet and results of operations, reference is made to the Company’s quarterly supplemental disclosures for the relevant periods furnished on the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K made available on the Company’s website at www.acadiarealty.com.
2. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares of the Company were exercised or converted into common shares. The effect of the conversion of units of limited partnership interest (“OP Units”) in Acadia Realty Limited Partnership, the “Operating Partnership” of the Company, is not reflected in the above table; OP Units are exchangeable into common shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such OP units is allocated on the same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.
3. The Company considers funds from operations (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) and net property operating income (“NOI”) to be appropriate supplemental disclosures of operating performance for an equity REIT due to their widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. In addition, the Company believes that given the atypical nature of certain unusual items (as further described below), “FFO Before Special Items” is also an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance. FFO, FFO Before Special Items and NOI are presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. They are helpful as they exclude various items included in net income (loss) that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as (i) gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties; (ii) depreciation and amortization and (iii) impairment of real estate properties. In addition, NOI excludes interest expense and FFO Before Special Items excludes certain unusual items (as further described below). The Company’s method of calculating FFO and NOI may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Neither FFO nor FFO Before Special Items represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), or are indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. Such measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
   1. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding:
      1. gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties;
      2. depreciation and amortization;
      3. impairment of real estate properties;
      4. gains and losses from change in control; and
      5. after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
   2. Also consistent with NAREIT’s definition of FFO, the Company has elected to include:
      1. the impact of the unrealized holding gains (losses), including those related to its RCP investments such as Albertsons in FFO.
   3. FFO Before Special Items begins with the NAREIT definition of FFO and adjusts FFO (or as an adjustment to the numerator within its earnings per share calculations) to take into account FFO without regard to certain unusual items including:
      1. charges, income and gains that management believes are not comparable and indicative of the results of the Company’s operating real estate portfolio;
      2. the impact of the unrealized holding gains (losses), including those related to its RCP investments such as Albertsons; and
      3. any realized income or gains from the Company’s investment in Albertsons.
4. This amount is not recognized within the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Operations. Rather, it represents a required GAAP adjustment to the numerator within its diluted earnings per share computation to reflect the impact of an assumed issuance of common shares that could be subsequently issued in connection with a put right granted to other partners related to the City Point Recapitalization and the Company's opportunity to increase its ownership in the future. Please refer to the third quarter 2022 supplemental information package for additional details. This non-recurring item only occurred in the third quarter 2022.
5. Transaction and other related costs of $2.2 million, or $0.02 per share are non-recurring items for 2022, which included (i) $1.3 million ($0.9 million of City Point recapitalization and $0.4 million of transaction costs), or $0.01 per share and (ii) $0.9 million, or $0.01 per share for acquisition and transaction costs, net of a bargain purchase gain from a Core acquisition.
6. The Company defines Special Items to include (i) unrealized holding losses or gains (net of noncontrolling interest share) on investments and (ii) Transaction and other costs that do not occur in the ordinary course of our underwriting and investing business.
7. The Company is not providing 2023 guidance for unrealized changes in fair value for its investment holdings. As the Company incurs unrealized gains or losses, they will be reflected in this line item. For the period 2022, the unrealized losses are with respect to our holdings in Albertsons. Any realized gains of such shares, as well as the Special Dividend of $0.11 per share received during the first quarter of 2023, will be included in Net Promote and other Core and Fund income (loss) in the period in which a sale occurs.
8. The pro-rata share of NOI is based upon the Operating Partnership’s stated ownership percentages in each venture or Fund’s operating agreement and does not include the Operating Partnership's share of NOI from unconsolidated joint ventures within the Funds.
