West Midlands Designer Outlet in England opened on April 12, 2021.  The center includes 197,000 square feet of high-quality, name brand stores.  Simon owns a 23% interest in this center. 

During the quarter, construction restarted on Paris-Giverny Designer Outlet, a new 222,000 square foot upscale outlet center located in Normandie, France, projected to open in the first quarter of 2023.  Simon owns 74% of this project. 

Construction continues on redevelopments including Burlington Mall (Boston, MA) and Tacoma Mall (Tacoma, WA).  These redevelopments, scheduled to be completed in 2021, will significantly benefit the communities in which they operate. 

Progress continues on transformative mixed-use redevelopments of Northgate Station (Seattle, WA) and Phipps Plaza (Atlanta, GA).  The dynamic redevelopment at Phipps Plaza is headlined by a Nobu Hotel and Nobu Restaurant, Citizens food hall, Life Time Athletic and Life Time Work and One Phipps Plaza, a LEED certified, 13-story Class A office building designed for the workplace of the future.  These additions are scheduled to open in 2022.  The transformation of Northgate Station will feature the National Hockey League's Seattle Kraken corporate offices and the Kraken Community Iceplex.  This first phase of the Northgate Station transformation is scheduled to be completed in the fall of 2021.    

Capital Markets and Balance Sheet Liquidity

The Company was active in both the unsecured and secured credit markets through the first six months of the year. 

During the first six months, the Company closed on 13 non-recourse mortgage loans totaling approximately $2.2 billion (U.S. dollar equivalent), of which Simon's share is $1.3 billion.  The weighted average interest rate on these loans is 2.90%. 

As of June 30, 2021, Simon had more than $8.8 billion of liquidity consisting of $1.9 billion of cash on hand, including its share of joint venture cash, and $6.9 billion of available capacity under its revolving credit facilities, net of $500 million outstanding under its U.S. commercial paper program.

Forward-Looking Statements

Certain statements made in this press release may be deemed "forward–looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Although the Company believes the expectations reflected in any forward–looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, the Company can give no assurance that its expectations will be attained, and it is possible that the Company's actual results may differ materially from those indicated by these forward–looking statements due to a variety of risks, uncertainties and other factors.

The Company discusses these and other risks and uncertainties under the heading "Risk Factors" in its annual and quarterly periodic reports filed with the SEC.  The Company may update that discussion in subsequent other periodic reports, but except as required by law, the Company undertakes no duty or obligation to update or revise these forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future developments, or otherwise.

Footnotes to Unaudited Financial Information

Notes:

(A)

Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of our investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the related partnerships and joint ventures shown therein.  The Company generally amortizes excess investment over the life of the related assets.

(B)

The Unaudited Joint Venture Combined Statements of Operations do not include any operations or our share of net income or excess investment amortization related to our investments in Klépierre and TRG.  Amounts included in Footnote D below exclude our share of related activity for our investments in Klépierre and TRG.  For further information on Klépierre, reference should be made to financial information in Klépierre's public filings and additional discussion and analysis in our Form 10-K.

(C)

This report contains measures of financial or operating performance that are not specifically defined by GAAP, including FFO and FFO per share.  FFO is a performance measure that is standard in the REIT business.  We believe FFO provides investors with additional information concerning our operating performance and a basis to compare our performance with those of other REITs.  We also use these measures internally to monitor the operating performance of our portfolio. Our computation of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.

We determine FFO based upon the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") Funds From Operations White Paper - 2018 Restatement. Our main business includes acquiring, owning, operating, developing, and redeveloping real estate in conjunction with the rental of real estate.  Gains and losses of assets incidental to our main business are included in FFO.  We determine FFO to be our share of consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from the sale, disposal or property insurance recoveries of, or any impairment related to, depreciable retail operating properties, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. However, you should understand that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

(D)
