Development Activity

The first phase of the transformation of Northgate Station (Seattle, WA), featuring the National Hockey League's Seattle Kraken corporate offices and the Kraken Community Iceplex, opened in September.  This first phase is part of a multi-year development that will evolve Northgate Station into a mixed-use, transit-oriented community.  

The redevelopment of Burlington Mall (Boston, MA) opened during the quarter including an exciting line-up of premier dining and innovative retailers, as well as an outdoor gathering green space, including amenities for seasonal programming and community events. 

During the quarter, construction started on Fukaya-Hanazono Premium Outlets®, the tenth Premium Outlet® Center in Japan.  The 292,500 square foot upscale outlet located in Fukaya City (Tokyo), is projected to open in October 2022.  Simon owns 40% of this project. 

On October 15, 2021, Jeju Premium Outlets (Jeju Island, South Korea) opened with 92,000 square feet of high-quality, name brand stores.  Jeju Premium Outlets is the fifth Premium Outlet® Center in South Korea.  Simon owns a 50% interest in this center. 

Capital Markets and Balance Sheet Liquidity

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

During the first nine months, the Company closed on 21 non-recourse mortgage loans totaling approximately $2.6 billion (U.S. dollar equivalent), of which Simon's share is $1.6 billion.  The weighted average interest rate on these loans is 2.97%.

During the quarter, the Company completed a two tranche senior notes offering totaling $1.25 billion.  Combined, the two new issues of senior notes had a weighted average term of 8.2 years and a weighted average coupon rate of 1.87%. 

The Company also retired three series of senior notes totaling $1.65 billion with a combined weighted average coupon rate of 2.57%.  A $28.6 million loss on extinguishment of debt was incurred in the third quarter related to these redemptions. 

Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the Company amended and extended its $3.5 billion unsecured multi-currency revolving credit facility.  The facility will initially mature on January 31, 2026 and at our sole option, can be extended for an additional year to January 31, 2027.  Based upon the Company's current credit ratings, the interest rate on the new revolver for U.S. Dollar borrowings is SOFR plus 72.5 points, plus a spread adjustment to account for the transition from LIBOR to SOFR.

As of September 30, 2021, Simon had approximately $8.0 billion of liquidity consisting of $1.1 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.

Dividends

The Company paid its third quarter 2021 common stock dividend of $1.50 per share, in cash, on September 30, 2021, a 15.4% increase year-over-year and 7.1% increase sequentially. 

Simon's Board of Directors declared a quarterly common stock dividend of $1.65 in cash on November 1, 2021, for the fourth quarter of 2021.  This is a 26.9% increase year-over-year and a 10.0% increase compared to the third quarter 2021 dividend.  The dividend will be payable on December 31, 2021 to shareholders of record on December 10, 2021. 

Simon's Board of Directors declared the quarterly dividend on its 8 3/8% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (NYSE: SPGPrJ) of $1.046875 per share, payable on December 31, 2021 to shareholders of record on December 17, 2021. 

2021 Guidance

The Company currently estimates net income to be within a range of $6.61 to $6.71 per diluted share and FFO will be within a range of $11.55 to $11.65 per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2021.  The FFO per diluted share range is an increase of $0.85 per share from the $10.70 to $10.80 per diluted share range provided on August 2, 2021.

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.

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)

Includes our share of:

-

Gains on land sales of $4.8 million and $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and $6.4 million and $8.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

-

Straight-line adjustments decreased income by ($5.7) million and ($13.7) million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and ($20.7) million and ($4.3) million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

-

Amortization of fair market value of leases from acquisitions (decreased) increased income by ($0.2) million and $1.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and ($0.6) million and $3.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

(E)

Amount of unrealized gain/loss in FFO reconciliation relates to retail real estate investments with readily determinable fair values.
