References to "we," "our," "us," and "our company" refer to AH Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation, together with our consolidated subsidiaries, including AH Realty Trust, LP, a Virginia limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"), of which we are the sole general partner. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this report.
Forward-Looking Statements
This report contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the federal securities laws. We caution investors that any forward-looking statements presented in this report, or which management may make orally or in writing from time to time, are based on beliefs and assumptions made by, and information currently available to, management. When used, the words "anticipate," "believe," "expect," "intend," "may," "might," "plan," "estimate," "project," "should," "will," "result," and similar expressions, which do not relate solely to historical matters, are intended to identify forward-looking statements. Such statements are subject to risks, uncertainties, and assumptions and are not guarantees of future performance, which may be affected by known and unknown risks, trends, uncertainties, and factors that are beyond our control. Should one or more of these risks or uncertainties materialize, or should underlying assumptions prove incorrect, actual results may vary materially from those anticipated, estimated, or projected. We caution you that while forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs when we make them, they are not guarantees of future performance and are impacted by actual events when they occur after we make such statements. We expressly disclaim any responsibility to update forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events, or otherwise, except as required by law. Accordingly, investors should use caution in relying on past forward-looking statements, which are based on results and trends at the time they are made, to anticipate future results or trends.
Forward-looking statements involve numerous risks and uncertainties and you should not rely on them as predictions of future events. Forward-looking statements depend on assumptions, data, or methods which may be incorrect or imprecise, and we may not be able to realize them. We do not guarantee that the transactions and events described will happen as described (or that they will happen at all). The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements:
•adverse economic or real estate developments, either nationally or in the markets in which our properties are located;
•our failure to generate sufficient cash flows to service our outstanding indebtedness;
•defaults on, early terminations of, or non-renewal of leases by tenants, including significant tenants;
•bankruptcy or insolvency of a significant tenant or a substantial number of smaller tenants;
•the inability of one or more mezzanine loan borrowers to repay mezzanine loans or similar investments in accordance with their contractual terms;
•difficulties in identifying or completing development, acquisition, or disposition opportunities;
•our ability to commence or continue construction and development projects on the timeframes and terms currently anticipated;
•our failure to successfully operate developed and acquired properties;
•risks related to the orderly wind-down and disposition of our general contracting and real estate services business;
•fluctuations in interest rates;
•the impact of inflation, including increases in operating costs;
•our failure to obtain necessary outside financing on favorable terms or at all;
•our inability to extend the maturity of or refinance existing debt or comply with the financial covenants in the agreements that govern our existing debt;
•financial market fluctuations;
•risks that affect the general retail environment or the market for office properties or multifamily units;
•the competitive environment in which we operate;
•decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;

Table of Contents
•conflicts of interests with our officers and directors;
•lack or insufficient amounts of insurance;
•environmental uncertainties and risks related to adverse weather conditions and natural disasters;
•other factors affecting the real estate industry generally;
•our failure to maintain our qualification as a real estate investment trust ("REIT") for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
•limitations imposed on our business and our ability to satisfy complex rules in order for us to maintain our qualification as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes;
•changes in governmental regulations or interpretations thereof, such as real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates and taxation of REITs; and
•potential negative impacts from changes to U.S. tax laws.
While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, they are not guarantees of future performance. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements and urge investors to carefully review the disclosures we make concerning risks and uncertainties in the sections entitled "Risk Factors" and "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, as well as risks, uncertainties, and other factors discussed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and other documents that we file from time to time with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").
Business Description
We are a self-managed REIT with over four decades of experience managing high-quality properties located primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States. Our focus is to deliver long-term, sustainable shareholder value by consistently investing in and operating the highest-quality assets, maintaining a robust and resilient balance sheet, and fostering a dynamic, highly skilled team. We focus on well-positioned secondary and tertiary markets that demonstrate strong population growth, favorable demand drivers, and attractive long-term fundamentals.
Refer to Note 1 to our condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the composition of properties in our operating property portfolio, as well as properties under development or redevelopment.
Discontinued Operations
During the quarter ended March 31, 2026, the Company completed a strategic review of its business and elected to divest its real estate financing and multifamily segments, which, together with the general contracting and real estate services segment, are now reported as discontinued operations. The decision to exit the real estate financing and multifamily segments was made in connection with the Company’s broader initiative to simplify its business model and focus on its core retail and office real estate operations. Management believes that the divestiture of these segments will allow the Company to further strengthen its balance sheet and focus on its core competencies, while reducing complexity and risk associated with non-core activities.
The Company entered into a letter of intent relating to the potential sale of its construction business during the period, and subsequently closed on this sale on April 30, 2026. The transaction included a transition services agreement for a 90 day period of time following the closing to provide human resources, payroll services, and information technology services.
On March 13, 2026, certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Company entered into a purchase and sale agreement with an unrelated third-party to sell eleven out of the Company's fourteen multifamily properties for a combined purchase price of $562.0 million in cash, subject to certain adjustments, with a $15.0 million non-refundable deposit (the "Multifamily Portfolio Sale"). The Multifamily Portfolio Sale is not contingent on the receipt of financing by the buyer. The Multifamily Portfolio Sale is expected to close in the second quarter of 2026. Two of the Company's other multifamily assets are actively being marketed and are expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2027.
In addition, on March 27, 2026, the Company sold two of the real estate financing investments and on April 30, 2026, the investment secured by The Allure at Edinburgh was fully redeemed. The remaining investment, Solis Kennesaw, is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2027.

Table of Contents
There can be no assurances that the Multifamily Portfolio Sale or the sale of the Company's other assets will occur on the timeline or on the terms the Company anticipates, if at all.
The material terms of these transactions included cash consideration, the transfer of related assets and liabilities, and the settlement of certain contingent obligations. As a result of these actions, the results of operations, assets, and liabilities of the general contracting and real estate services, multifamily, and real estate financing segments have been reclassified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All historical financial information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the general contracting and real estate services, multifamily, and real estate financing businesses as discontinued operations. The decision to exit these segments resulted in the reclassification of approximately $32.5 million in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2026 to discontinued operations.
Operating Segments
Following the discontinuation of the general contracting and real estate services, multifamily, and real estate financing segments, we operate our business through two reportable segments:
1.Retail real estate: The Company’s retail portfolio is concentrated in high-barrier-to-entry markets and is anchored by credit-worthy tenants, including grocery stores and big-box retailers. As of March 31, 2026, the retail portfolio had a leased occupancy level of 94.8%, and renewal spreads (on a GAAP basis) of 10.7%.
2.Office real estate: The office portfolio consists primarily of Class A office space located in mixed-use town centers, such as the Town Center of Virginia Beach and Harbor Point in Baltimore. The segment continues to benefit from the "flight to quality" trend, maintaining an occupancy level of 96.0% and new leasing spreads (on a GAAP basis) of 9.6%.
First Quarter 2026 and Recent Highlights
The following highlights our results of operations and significant transactions for the three months ended March 31, 2026 and other recent developments:
•On February 16, 2026, we announced a fundamental business restructuring to eliminate complexity, strengthen the balance sheet, and relentlessly focus on operating a streamlined real estate platform. The restructuring includes:
•Exiting the multifamily property sector to unlock embedded value, reduce leverage, and sharpen focus on retail and office properties;
•Divesting construction and real estate financing businesses; and
•Launching AH Realty Trust, effective March 2, 2026, a new corporate identity that reflects the fundamental restructuring of the business.
•As part of its ongoing governance enhancements supporting the Company’s strategic transformation, AH Realty Trust advanced its board refreshment process by nominating Theodore Bigman and Lori Wittman as independent directors; Dennis Gartman and George Allen will retire from the Board following the 20

In addition to our operating property portfolio, we had three retail properties, two office properties, and three multifamily properties in various stages of predevelopment, development, redevelopment, or stabilization as of December 31, 2025. We also have historically provided general contracting services to third parties and invested in development projects through mezzanine lending arrangements and equity investments.
Substantially all of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, our Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2025, we owned, through a combination of direct and indirect interests, 77.3% of the outstanding OP Units in our Operating Partnership.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013.
Our principal executive office is located at 222 Central Park Avenue, Suite 1000, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 in the Armada Hoffler Tower at the Virginia Beach Town Center. In addition, we have a construction office located at 1300 Thames Street, Suite 30, Baltimore, Maryland 21231 in Thames Street Wharf at Harbor Point. The telephone number for our principal executive office is (757) 366-4000. We maintain a website at ArmadaHoffler.com. The information on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into and does not constitute a part of this report.
Discontinued Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. All historical financial information has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect the general contracting and real estate services segment as discontinued operations. The decision to exit the general contracting and real estate services segment resulted in the reclassification of approximately $132.5 million in revenue for the year ended December 31, 2025 to discontinued operations.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon current available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical to understanding our reported financial results as their effect on our financial condition and results of operations is material.
Rental Revenues
We lease our properties under operating leases and recognize base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also recognize revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse us for expenses paid by us such as utilities, janitorial, repairs and maintenance, security and alarm, parking lot and grounds, general and administrative, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes on an accrual basis. Our rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. We include a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at
46
Table of Contents
lease inception that the renewal is reasonably certain. We begin recognizing rental revenue when the tenant has the right to take possession of or controls the physical use of the property under lease.
Rental revenue is recognized subject to management’s evaluation of tenant credit risk. The extended collection period for accrued straight-line rental revenue along with our evaluation of tenant credit risk may result in the nonrecognition of all or a portion of straight-line rental revenue until the collection of substantially all such revenue for a tenant is probable.
Operating Property Acquisitions
Acquisitions of operating properties have been and will generally be accounted for as acquisitions of a group of assets, with costs incurred to effect an acquisition, including title, legal, accounting, brokerage commissions, and other related costs being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. In connection with operating property acquisitions, we identify and recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocations to tangible assets, such as land, site improvements, and buildings and improvements, are presented within income producing property in the consolidated balance sheets and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Acquired lease intangible assets are presented as a separate component of assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Acquired lease intangible liabilities are presented within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We amortize in-place lease assets as depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize above-market lease assets as reductions to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize below-market lease liabilities as increases to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize above and below-market ground lease assets as depreciation and amortization on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We capitalize the costs related to operating property acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business.
We value land based on a market approach, looking to recent sales of similar properties, adjusting for differences due to location, the state of entitlement, and the shape and size of the parcel. Improvements to land are valued using a replacement cost approach. The approach applies industry standard replacement costs adjusted for geographic specific considerations and reduced by estimated depreciation. The value of buildings acquired is estimated using the replacement cost approach, assuming the buildings were vacant at acquisition. The replacement cost approach considers the composition of the structures acquired, adjusted for an estimate of depreciation. The estimate of depreciation is made considering industry standard information and the expected useful lives of the assets. The value of acquired lease intangible assets and liabilities considers the estimated cost of leasing the properties as if the acquired buildings were vacant, as well as the value of the current leases relative to market-rate leases. The in-place lease value is determined using an estimated total lease-up time and lost rental revenues during such time. The value of current leases relative to market-rate leases is based on market rents obtained for comparable leases. Given the significance of unobservable inputs used in the valuation of acquired real estate assets, we classify them as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
We value debt assumed in connection with operating property acquisitions based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows of the debt. Such analysis considers the contractual terms of the debt, including the period to maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy (as described in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
Real Estate Impairment
We evaluate our real estate assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is necessary, we compare the carrying amount of any such real estate asset with the undiscounted expected future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, its use and eventual disposition. Our estimate of the expected future cash flows attributable to a real estate asset is based upon, among other things, our estimates regarding future market conditions, rental rates, occupancy levels, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, tenant concessions, and assumptions regarding the residual value of our properties. If the carrying amount of a real estate asset exceeds its associated undiscounted expected future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate asset to its fair value based on marketplace participant assumptions.
Interest Income
Interest income on notes receivable is accrued based on the contractual terms of the loans and when, in the opinion of management, it is deemed collectible. Many loans provide for accrual of interest that will not be paid until maturity of the loan. Interest is recognized on these loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest is ultimately collectible, based on the underlying collateral and the status of development activities, as applicable. If management cannot
47
Table of Contents
make this determination, recognition of interest income may be fully or partially deferred until it is ultimately paid. Interest income is also accrued as earned on interest-bearing deposits.
Expected Credit Losses
We evaluate the collectability of both the interest on and principal of each of our notes receivable based primarily upon the value of the underlying development project. We consider factors such as the progress of development activities, including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected loan balances. We also consider historical industry data, such as loan defaults and losses experienced on loans secured by other development projects, and current economic conditions that may affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows. We measure expected credit losses to be incurred over the remaining contractual term based on the risk rating of each loan. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details on risk rating determination. If a loan is rated as substandard, we then estimate expected credit losses as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the outstanding loan and the estimated projected sales proceeds of the underlying collateral.

For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated effects on our consolidated financial statements see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Segment Results of Continuing Operations
As of December 31, 2025, we operated our business in four segments: (i) retail real estate, (ii) office real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate, and (iv) real estate financing.
NOI is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. We calculate NOI as segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues include rental revenues for our property segments and interest income for our real estate financing segment. Segment expenses include rental expenses and real estate taxes for our property segments and interest expense for our real estate financing segment. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and real estate financing businesses. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a reconciliation of NOI to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
We define same store properties as those that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods compared. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is fully or partially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment or is impacted by significant disruptive events (e.g. fire, flood) is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment or repair activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the stabilization criteria above are again met. A property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of computing same store operating results.
This section of this Form 10-K generally discusses 2025 and 2024 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2025 and 2024. Discussions of 2023 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2024 and 2023 that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024.

Non-Operating Income and Expenses
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased $6 million, or 8.0%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2024 primarily due to increased outstanding debt associated with the acquisition of Allied | Harbor Point and a reduction in capitalized interest associated with a lower volume of assets under development. The increase was partially offset by declining SOFR rates on our variable-rate debt portfolio.
The loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2025 was due to the repayment of the loan secured by the Southern Post mixed-use property. The loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2024 was due to the repayment of the loans secured by the Chronicle Mill, Premier Retail and Apartments, Market at Mill Creek, Nexton Square, and Southgate Square properties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of operating expenses and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects, mezzanine loan funding requirements, and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings available under our amended credit facility, and net proceeds from the opportunistic sale of common stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program"), which is discussed below.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements, and capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of equity and debt securities, and the opportunistic disposition of non-core properties. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of December 31, 2025, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $49.2 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development and redevelopment activities. As of December 31, 2025, we also had restricted cash in escrow of $3.2 million, some of which is available for capital expenditures and certain operating expenses at our operating

properties. As of December 31, 2025, we had $52.3 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements. During the three months ended December 31, 2025, we increased outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility by $41.0 million. On December 10, 2025, we borrowed $35.0 million under the revolving credit facility to finance the purchase of Solis Gainesville II. The remaining borrowings were used for general corporate purposes.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we began to implement a strategic transformation of the composition of borrowings by refinancing secured property debt with unsecured property debt in order to increase the flexibility of our financing cash flows. Additionally, we have begun transforming our debt portfolio from variable-rate to fixed-rate borrowings. We continued to implement this transformation during the year ended December 31, 2025 and intend to continue to implement the transformation during the year ended December 31, 2026. During the year ended December 31, 2025, we entered into $115.0 million of inaugural fixed-rate private placement notes. As of December 31, 2025, fixed-rate debt and variable-rate debt before the impact of derivatives represented 21.3% and 78.7%, respectively, compared to 17.0% and 83.0% as of December 31, 2024. As of December 31, 2025, unsecured debt represented 61.3% of our total borrowings compared to 55.9% as of December 31, 2024. However, we intend to maintain a certain level of property secured debt as part of our risk management strategy.
ATM Program
On March 10, 2020, we commenced the ATM Program through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, to or through our sales agents and, with respect to shares of our common stock, may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through one or more forward purchasers.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not issue any shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM Program. Shares having an aggregate offering price of $178.5 million remained unsold under the ATM Program as of February 20, 2026.
Share Repurchase Program
On June 15, 2023, our board of directors authorized the $50.0 million Share Repurchase Program. Under the Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock from time to time in the open market, in block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions, the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, or other means permitted. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specific period of time. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time by us and does not have an expiration date.
During the year ended December 31, 2025, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2025, $37.4 million remained available for repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.
Credit Facility
On August 23, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $550.0 million credit facility comprised of a $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks. Subject to available borrowing capacity, we intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, mezzanine lending, and development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio, and for working capital.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased up to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 22, 2027, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 21, 2028.
On August 29, 2023, we increased the capacity of the revolving credit facility by $105.0 million by exercising the accordion feature in part, bringing the revolving credit facility capacity to $355.0 million and the total credit facility capacity to $655.0 million.
On June 14, 2024, the term loan facility commitment increased to $350.0 million as a result of an existing lender increasing its outstanding commitment.

Table of Contents
The revolving credit facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, and the term loan facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, in each case depending on our total leverage. We also are obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings. Our unencumbered borrowing pool will support revolving borrowings of up to $293.3 million, as of December 31, 2025.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The Credit Agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The Credit Agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts our ability to repurchase stock and units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership during the term of the credit facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without significant premium or penalty, except for those portions subject to an interest rate swap agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
M&T Term Loan Facility
On December 6, 2022, we entered into a term loan agreement (the "M&T term loan agreement") with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, which provides a $100.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "M&T term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $200.0 million, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. The M&T term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of March 8, 2027, with a one-year extension option, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee.
On June 21, 2024, the M&T term loan facility commitment increased to $135.0 million as a result of adding a new
58
Table of Contents
lender to the facility.
The M&T term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by us based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on our total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by M&T Bank as its “prime rate” for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50%, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.00%. We have elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the M&T term loan facility, and its obligations under the M&T term loan facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The M&T term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the M&T term loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the M&T term loan facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the M&T term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;

The M&T term loan agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The M&T term loan agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts our ability to repurchase stock and units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership during the term of the M&T term loan facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the M&T term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided certain conditions are met.
The M&T term loan agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the M&T term loan facility to be immediately due and payable. A default under the Credit Agreement would also constitute a default under M&T term loan agreement.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the M&T term loan agreement.

TD Term Loan Facility
On May 19, 2023, we entered into a term loan agreement (the "TD term loan agreement") with Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, as administrative agent, and TD Bank, N.A. as lender, which provides a $75.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "TD term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $150.0 million, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions.

The TD term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by us based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on our total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50% (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate” for such day, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.00%. We have elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin.

On June 29, 2023, the TD term loan facility commitment increased to $95.0 million as a result of the addition of a second lender to the facility.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the TD term loan facility, and its obligations under the TD term loan facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The TD term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the TD term loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the TD term loan facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the TD term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the TD term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the TD term loan facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The TD term loan agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The TD term loan agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans, and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts our ability to repurchase stock and units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership during the term of the TD term loan facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the TD term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided certain conditions are met.
The TD term loan agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods.
60
Table of Contents
The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the TD term loan facility to be immediately due and payable. A default under the Credit Agreement would also constitute a default under the TD term loan agreement.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the TD term loan agreement.
Private Placement Notes
On July 22, 2025, we and the Operating Partnership entered into a note purchase agreement (the “Note Purchase Agreement”), with institutional investors, pursuant to which the Operating Partnership sold, and the institutional investors purchased, which $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of unsecured notes, consisting of (a) $25.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.57% Senior Notes, Series A, due July 22, 2028, (b) $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of 5.78% Senior Notes, Series B, due July 22, 2030, and (c) $45.0 million aggregate principal amount of 6.09% Senior Notes, Series C, due July 22, 2032 (collectively, the "Notes").
The Notes bear interest on the outstanding principal balance at the stated rates per annum from the date of issuance, payable semiannually on January 22 and July 22 of each year, commencing January 22, 2026 until such principal becomes due and payable. The Notes are the senior unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership and rank at least pari passu in right of payment with all other unsecured senior indebtedness of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s obligations under the Notes are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The Note Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties. Under the Note Purchase Agreement, we are also subject to a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions, including the following, which are subject to a “most favored lender” provision, which automatically incorporates any changes to corresponding covenants under the Credit Agreement into the Note Purchase Agreement:
•Ratio of Secured Recourse Debt (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement), excluding the Notes if they become Secured Indebtedness (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement)), to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 Unencumbered Properties (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) with an Unencumbered Asset Value (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum Occupancy Rate (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) for all Unencumbered Properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The following financial covenants are not subject to the most favored lender provision:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the Note Purchase Agreement;
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) to Fixed Charges (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of not less than 1.5 to 1.0;
•Tangible Net Worth (as defined in the Purchase Agreement) of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of Secured Indebtedness, excluding the Notes if they become Secured Indebtedness, to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Total Unsecured Leverage Ratio (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the Note Purchase Agreement);
•Unencumbered Interest Coverage Ratio (as defined in the Note Purchase Agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
The Note Purchase Agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates while the Notes are outstanding.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay all of, or from time to time any part of, any series of the Notes in an amount not less than 5% of the aggregate principal amount of such series of the Notes then outstanding in the case of a partial prepayment, at 100% of the principal amount so prepaid, plus the applicable Make‑Whole Amount (as defined in the Note
61
Table of Contents
Purchase Agreement), which will be calculated based on the prepayment date with respect to such principal amount, as set forth in the Note Purchase Agreement.
The Note Purchase Agreement includes customary events of default, including but not limited to non-payment, breach of covenants, representations or warranties, cross defaults, bankruptcy or other insolvency events, judgments, Employee Retirement Income Security Act 1974 (ERISA) events, and if any guarantee ceases to be in full force and effect. In certain cases, the events of default are subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit holders of more than 50% in aggregate principal amount of the Notes to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the Notes to be immediately due and payable.
On July 22, 2025, we received the net proceeds from the private placement of the Notes, which were used to repay the $65.0 million construction loan secured by the Southern Post mixed-use property and to pay down our revolving line of credit.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement, the M&T term loan agreement, the TD term loan agreement, and the private placement.

(4)Contractual obligations above exclude increased ground lease payments at 1405 Point, which is classified as a note payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In connection with certain of our real estate financing activities and equity method investments, we have provided guarantees to pay portions of certain senior loans of third parties associated with the development projects. As of December 31, 2025, we had no outstanding guarantee liabilities.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
We may be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our borrowers. These commitments are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2025, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $6.5 million of unfunded commitments of our notes receivable, all of which relates to unfunded contingencies. We consider the probability of contingency funding to be remote. We have recorded a less than $0.1 million credit loss reserve in conjunction with the total unfunded commitments. Such commitments are subject to our borrowers’ satisfaction of certain financial and nonfinancial covenants and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The commitments may or may not be funded depending on a variety of circumstances including timing, credit metric hurdles, and other nonfinancial events occurring.

Net cash provided by operating activities of continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 decreased by $17.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to an increase in interest expense and timing of receipts and payables for the portfolio.
Net cash used for investing activities of continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $94.5 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to less cash inflows during the current year due to the dispositions of Market at Mill Creek and Nexton Square and less notes receivables paydowns due to the repayment of Solis City Park II in 2024 and greater cash outflows during the current year due to the acquisition of Solis Gainesville II in December, the purchase of off-market interest rate derivatives, and increased spend on tenant and building improvements. These were partially offset by less capital spend on notes receivable issuances and development projects due to the commencement of operations at Southern Post and Chandler Residences.
Net cash provided by financing activities of continuing operations during the year ended December 31, 2025 increased by $95.8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2024. The change was primarily attributable to the issuance of private placement bonds in July 2025, less debt repayments and extinguishments throughout the year, and less dividend payments throughout the year due to the right-size of the dividend in the first quarter of 2025, partially offset by less proceeds from issuances of common stock.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO and Normalized FFO
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and
65
Table of Contents
amortization related to real estate, gains or losses from the sales of certain real estate assets, gains or losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ calculations of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, acquisition, development, and other pursuit costs, debt extinguishment losses, prepayment penalties, impairment of intangible assets and liabilities, mark-to-market adjustments on interest rate derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, amortization of payments made to purchase interest rate caps and swaps designated as cash flow hedges, provision for unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items. Stock compensation normalization accounts for the double-issuance of stock compensation due to a modification in the structure of executive compensation grants, removing the impact of grants in the current year that are related to the prior year's performance. New grants are now issued in the year in which performance relates. It also removes the impact of a one-time acceleration of 100% of stock compensation awarded to our former Chief Executive Officer in relation to prior year performance. This adjustment also specifically excludes the impact of the special award granted in June 2025 to a select group of employees including the executive officers. Other equity REITs may not calculate Normalized FFO in the same manner as we do, and, accordingly, our Normalized FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' Normalized FFO.

Inflation
Substantially all of our office and retail leases provide for the recovery of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, substantially all of the leases provide for annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be offset in part by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations previously described. In addition, our multifamily leases generally have lease terms ranging from 7 to 15 months with a majority having 12-month lease terms allowing negotiation of rental rates at term end, which we believe reduces our exposure to the effects of inflation, although
an extreme and sustained escalation in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Business Description
We are a vertically-integrated, self-managed REIT with over four decades of experience managing high-quality properties located primarily in the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States. As of December 31, 2024, our stabilized operating property portfolio was comprised of 46 retail properties, 14 office properties, and 11 multifamily properties. In addition to our operating property portfolio, we had 2 retail properties, 1 office property, and 1 multifamily property in various stages of predevelopment, development, redevelopment, or stabilization as of December 31, 2024. We also provide general contracting services to third parties and invest in development projects through mezzanine lending arrangements and equity investments.
Substantially all of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, our Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2024, we owned, through a combination of direct and indirect interests, 78.6% of the outstanding OP Units in our Operating Partnership.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013.
Our principal executive office is located at 222 Central Park Avenue, Suite 1000, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 in the Armada Hoffler Tower at the Virginia Beach Town Center. In addition, we have a construction office located at 1300 Thames Street, Suite 30, Baltimore, Maryland 21231 in Thames Street Wharf at Harbor Point. The telephone number for our principal executive office is (757) 366-4000. We maintain a website at ArmadaHoffler.com. The information on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into and does not constitute a part of this report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon current available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical to understanding our reported financial results as their effect on our financial condition and results of operations is material.
Rental Revenues
We lease our properties under operating leases and recognize base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also recognize revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse us for expenses paid by us such as utilities, janitorial, repairs and maintenance, security and alarm, parking lot and grounds, general and administrative, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes on an accrual basis. Our rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. We include a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably certain. We begin recognizing rental revenue when the tenant has the right to take possession of or controls the physical use of the property under lease.
Rental revenue is recognized subject to management’s evaluation of tenant credit risk. The extended collection period for accrued straight-line rental revenue along with our evaluation of tenant credit risk may result in the nonrecognition of all or a portion of straight-line rental revenue until the collection of substantially all such revenue for a tenant is probable.
General Contracting and Real Estate Services Revenues
We recognize general contracting revenues as a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For each construction contract, we
47
Table of Contents
identify the performance obligations, which typically include the delivery of a single building constructed according to the specifications of the contract. We estimate the total transaction price, which generally includes a fixed contract price and may also include variable components such as early completion bonuses, liquidated damages, or cost savings to be shared with the customer. Variable components of the contract price are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. We recognize the estimated transaction price as revenue as we satisfy our performance obligations; we estimate our progress in satisfying performance obligations for each contract using the input method, based on the proportion of incurred costs relative to total estimated construction costs at completion. Construction contract costs include all direct material, direct labor, subcontract costs, and overhead costs directly related to contract performance. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, are all significant judgments that may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Additionally, the estimated costs at completion are affected by management’s forecasts of anticipated costs to be incurred and contingency reserves for exposures related to unknown costs, such as design deficiencies and subcontractor defaults. The estimated variable consideration is also affected by claims and unapproved change orders, which may result from changes in the scope of the contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized immediately in the period in which such losses are determined.
We recognize real estate services revenues from property development and management as we satisfy our performance obligations under these service arrangements.
We assess whether multiple contracts with a single counterparty may be combined into a single contract for the revenue recognition purposes based on factors such as the timing of the negotiation and execution of the contracts and whether the economic substance of the contracts was contemplated separately or in tandem.
Operating Property Acquisitions
Acquisitions of operating properties have been and will generally be accounted for as acquisitions of a group of assets, with costs incurred to effect an acquisition, including title, legal, accounting, brokerage commissions, and other related costs being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. In connection with operating property acquisitions, we identify and recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocations to tangible assets, such as land, site improvements, and buildings and improvements, are presented within income producing property in the consolidated balance sheets and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Acquired lease intangible assets are presented as a separate component of assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Acquired lease intangible liabilities are presented within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We amortize in-place lease assets as depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize above-market lease assets as reductions to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize below-market lease liabilities as increases to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize above and below-market ground lease assets as depreciation and amortization on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We capitalize the costs related to operating property acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business.
We value land based on a market approach, looking to recent sales of similar properties, adjusting for differences due to location, the state of entitlement, and the shape and size of the parcel. Improvements to land are valued using a replacement cost approach. The approach applies industry standard replacement costs adjusted for geographic specific considerations and reduced by estimated depreciation. The value of buildings acquired is estimated using the replacement cost approach, assuming the buildings were vacant at acquisition. The replacement cost approach considers the composition of the structures acquired, adjusted for an estimate of depreciation. The estimate of depreciation is made considering industry standard information and the expected useful lives of the assets. The value of acquired lease intangible assets and liabilities considers the estimated cost of leasing the properties as if the acquired buildings were vacant, as well as the value of the current leases relative to market-rate leases. The in-place lease value is determined using an estimated total lease-up time and lost rental revenues during such time. The value of current leases relative to market-rate leases is based on market rents obtained for comparable leases. Given the significance of unobservable inputs used in the valuation of acquired real estate assets, we classify them as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
We value debt assumed in connection with operating property acquisitions based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows of the debt. Such analysis considers the contractual terms of the debt, including the period to maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy (as described in Note 13 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).

Table of Contents
Real Estate Impairment
We evaluate our real estate assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is necessary, we compare the carrying amount of any such real estate asset with the undiscounted expected future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, its use and eventual disposition. Our estimate of the expected future cash flows attributable to a real estate asset is based upon, among other things, our estimates regarding future market conditions, rental rates, occupancy levels, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, tenant concessions, and assumptions regarding the residual value of our properties. If the carrying amount of a real estate asset exceeds its associated undiscounted expected future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate asset to its fair value based on marketplace participant assumptions.
Interest Income
Interest income on notes receivable is accrued based on the contractual terms of the loans and when, in the opinion of management, it is deemed collectible. Many loans provide for accrual of interest that will not be paid until maturity of the loan. Interest is recognized on these loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest is ultimately collectible, based on the underlying collateral and the status of development activities, as applicable. If management cannot make this determination, recognition of interest income may be fully or partially deferred until it is ultimately paid. Interest income is also accrued as earned on interest-bearing deposits.
Expected Credit Losses
We evaluate the collectability of both the interest on and principal of each of our notes receivable based primarily upon the value of the underlying development project. We consider factors such as the progress of development activities, including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected loan balances. We also consider historical industry data, such as loan defaults and losses experienced on loans secured by other development projects, and current economic conditions that may affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows. We measure expected credit losses to be incurred over the remaining contractual term based on the risk rating of each loan. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details on risk rating determination. If a loan is rated as substandard, we then estimate expected credit losses as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the outstanding loan and the estimated projected sales proceeds of the underlying collateral.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated effects on our consolidated financial statements see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Segment Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2024, we operated our business in five segments: (i) retail real estate, (ii) office real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate, (iv) general contracting and real estate services, and (v) real estate financing. See “—Real Estate Financing Segment Data” below for additional information regarding the real estate financing segment and its introduction as a reportable segment during the year ended December 31, 2024. Our general contracting and real estate services segment is conducted through our TRS.
NOI is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. We calculate NOI as segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues include rental revenues for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services revenues for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest income for our real estate financing segment. Segment expenses include rental expenses and real estate taxes for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services expenses for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest expense for our real estate financing segment. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate, construction, and real estate financing businesses. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a reconciliation of NOI to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Table of Contents
We define same store properties as those that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods compared. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is fully or partially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the stabilization criteria above are again met. A property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of computing same store operating results.
Since our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, we retrospectively reclassified certain components of mixed-use properties between the retail, office, and multifamily real estate segments in order to align the components of those properties with their tenant composition. As a result, (i) NOI for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $1.6 million and $0.2 million for the retail and office real estate segments, respectively, and decreased $1.7 million for the multifamily real estate segment and (ii) NOI for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $1.0 million and $0.6 million for the retail and office real estate segments, respectively, and decreased $1.6 million for the multifamily real estate segment. These reclassifications had no effect on total property NOI as previously reported. These reclassifications had no impact on our general contracting and real estate services or real estate financing segments.
This section of this Form 10-K generally discusses 2024 and 2023 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2024 and 2023. Discussions of 2022 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2023 and 2022 that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2023.

Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased $6.5 million, or 6.6%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The decrease was primarily attributable to accelerated amortization of intangible lease assets in 2023 recognized in connection with the termination of leases at One City Center and The Interlock. This was partially offset by increased depreciation in 2024 related to the commencement of operations for Southern Post Office, Southern Post Retail, and Chandler Residences, and the acquisition of The Interlock Office and The Interlock Retail in May 2023.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased $2.1 million, or 11.6%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase resulted primarily due to increased salaries and compensation and severance costs.

The loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2024 was due to the payoff of the loans secured by the Chronicle Mill, Premier Retail and Apartments, Market at Mill Creek, Nexton Square, and Southgate Square properties.

Table of Contents
Change in fair value of derivatives and other for the year ended December 31, 2024 includes an increase in interest receipts for non-designated derivatives due to an increase in the amount of non-designated derivatives, and a decrease in the fair value of our derivative instruments due to decreases in forward SOFR (the Secured Overnight Financing Rate).
Changes in unrealized credit loss provision for the year ended December 31, 2024 were primarily the result of the release of the provision related to the Solis City Park II real estate financing investment, which was partially offset by increases in note receivable balances for the real estate financing investments and the closing of the Solis North Creek real estate financing investment.
Changes in other income (expense), net for the year ended December 31, 2024 were immaterial.
The income tax benefit for the year ended December 31, 2024 was primarily attributable to the impairment of real estate of $1.5 million and development costs of $5.5 million that were recognized during the period related to undeveloped land under predevelopment, which had an attributable income tax benefit of $1.6 million. The income tax provision that we recognized during the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, which for the year ended December 31, 2024 partially offset the income tax benefit discussed above, were attributable to the taxable profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses, and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects, mezzanine loan funding requirements, and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans to fund new real estate development and construction, borrowings available under our amended credit facility, and net proceeds from the opportunistic sale of common stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program"), which is discussed below.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements, and capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of equity and debt securities, and the opportunistic disposition of non-core properties. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of December 31, 2024, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $70.6 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development and redevelopment activities. As of December 31, 2024, we also had restricted cash in escrow of $1.6 million, some of which is available for capital expenditures and certain operating expenses at our operating properties. As of December 31, 2024, we had $113.0 million of available borrowings under our revolving credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $13.4 million of available borrowings under our construction loans to fund development activities. During the three months ended December 31, 2024, we decreased outstanding borrowings on our revolving credit facility by $19.0 million. The funds used to pay down the debt were procured through the closing of a loan secured by the Premier mixed-use retail and multifamily property and through the disposition of the Market at Mill Creek and Nexton Square retail properties.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we began to implement a strategic transformation of the composition of borrowings by refinancing secured property debt with unsecured property debt in order to increase the flexibility of our financing cash flows. We continued to implement this transformation during the year ended December 31, 2024 and intend to continue to implement the transformation during the year ended December 31, 2025. As of December 31, 2024, unsecured debt represented 55.9% of our total borrowings compared to 54.4% as of December 31, 2023.
ATM Program
On March 10, 2020, we commenced the ATM Program through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, to or through our sales agents and, with respect to shares of our common stock, may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through one or more forward purchasers.

Table of Contents
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we issued and sold 2,288,541 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $11.58 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $26.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2024, we did not issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM Program. Shares having an aggregate offering price of $178.5 million remained unsold under the ATM Program as of February 21, 2025.
Recent Common Stock Offering
On September 27, 2024, we completed an underwritten public offering of 9.00 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $10.50 per share, which resulted in gross proceeds of $94.5 million. We granted the underwriters an option to purchase 1.35 million shares of common stock at a public offering price of $10.50 per share, which was exercised in full, resulting in additional gross proceeds of $14.2 million. We received net proceeds, after deducting the underwriting discount and offering expenses, of approximately $103.5 million.
Share Repurchase Program
On June 15, 2023, our board of directors authorized the $50.0 million Share Repurchase Program. Under the Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock from time to time in the open market, in block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions, the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, or other means permitted. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specific period of time. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time by us and does not have an expiration date.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, we did not repurchase any shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2024, $37.4 million remained available for repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.
Credit Facility
On August 23, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $550.0 million credit facility comprised of a $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks. Subject to available borrowing capacity, we intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, mezzanine lending, and development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio, and for working capital.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased up to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 22, 2027, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 21, 2028.
On August 29, 2023, we increased the capacity of the revolving credit facility by $105.0 million by exercising the accordion feature in part, bringing the revolving credit facility capacity to $355.0 million and the total credit facility capacity to $655.0 million.
On June 14, 2024, the term loan facility commitment increased to $350.0 million as a result of an existing lender increasing its outstanding commitment.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, and the term loan facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80% and a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%, in each case depending on our total leverage. We also are obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings. Our unencumbered borrowing pool will support revolving borrowings of up to $258.0 million, as of December 31, 2024.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
58
Table of Contents
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The Credit Agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The Credit Agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts our ability to repurchase stock and units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership during the term of the credit facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without significant premium or penalty, except for those portions subject to an interest rate swap agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
M&T Term Loan Facility
On December 6, 2022, we entered into a term loan agreement (the "M&T term loan agreement") with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, which provides a $100.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "M&T term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $200.0 million, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. The M&T term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of March 8, 2027, with a one-year extension option, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee.
On June 21, 2024, the M&T term loan facility commitment increased to $135.0 million as a result of adding a new lender to the facility.
The M&T term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by us based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on our total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by M&T Bank as its “prime rate” for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50%, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.00%. We have elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the M&T term loan facility, and its obligations under the M&T term

The M&T term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the M&T term loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the M&T term loan facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the M&T term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the M&T term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the M&T term loan facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The M&T term loan agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The M&T term loan agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts our ability to repurchase stock and units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership during the term of the M&T term loan facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the M&T term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided certain conditions are met.
The M&T term loan agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the M&T term loan facility to be immediately due and payable. A default under the Credit Agreement would also constitute a default under M&T term loan agreement.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the M&T term loan agreement.
TD Term Loan Facility
On May 19, 2023, we entered into a term loan agreement (the "TD term loan agreement") with Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, as administrative agent, and TD Bank, N.A. as lender, which provides a $75.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "TD term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $150.0 million, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. The TD term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of May 19, 2025, with a one-year extension option, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions, including an extension fee payment of 0.15% of the outstanding amount of the loan as of such date.
The TD term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by us based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on our total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50% (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as

publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate” for such day, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 0.01 basis points and (d) 1.00%. We have elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
On June 29, 2023, the TD term loan facility commitment increased to $95.0 million as a result of the addition of a second lender to the facility.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the TD term loan facility, and its obligations under the TD term loan facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.

(4)Contractual obligations above exclude increased ground lease payments at 1405 Point, which is classified as a note payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In connection with certain of our real estate financing activities and equity method investments, we have provided guarantees to pay portions of certain senior loans of third parties associated with the development projects. As of December 31, 2024, we had an outstanding guarantee liability of $0.1 million related to the $32.9 million guarantee of the senior loan secured by Harbor Point Parcel 4.
In connection with our Harbor Point Parcel 3 unconsolidated joint venture, we are responsible for providing a completion guarantee to the lender for this project.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
We may be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our borrowers. These commitments are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2024, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $32.7 million of unfunded commitments of our notes receivable. These unfunded commitments consist of $24.2 million of unfunded principal and $8.5 million of unfunded contingency. We consider the probability of contingency funding to be remote. We have recorded a $0.5 million credit loss reserve in conjunction with the total unfunded commitments. Such commitments are subject to our borrowers’ satisfaction of certain financial and nonfinancial covenants and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The commitments may or may not be funded depending on a variety of circumstances including timing, credit metric hurdles, and other nonfinancial events occurring.

Table of Contents
Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 increased by $18.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to an increase in portfolio NOI and timing of receipts and payables for the construction business.
Net cash used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $210.6 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to the dispositions of the Nexton Square and Market at Mill Creek retail properties, the payoff of the real estate financing investment secured by the Solis City Park II property, a decrease in contributions to equity method investments, a decrease in payments made to purchase interest rate derivatives, and a reduction to spending related to investments of real estate and building improvements.
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2024 decreased by $165.5 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. The change was primarily attributable to increases of cash paid to extinguish debt, partially offset by the cash proceeds from the issuance of common stock throughout the year.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO and Normalized FFO
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains or losses from the sales of certain real estate assets, gains or losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ calculations of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment and accelerated amortization of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development, and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, amortization of payments made to purchase interest rate caps and swaps designated as cash flow hedges, provision for unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items. Other equity REITs may not calculate Normalized FFO in the same manner as we do, and, accordingly, our Normalized FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' Normalized FFO.

Inflation
Substantially all of our office and retail leases provide for the recovery of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, substantially all of the leases provide for annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be offset in part by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations previously described. In addition, our multifamily leases generally have lease terms ranging from 7 to 15 months with a majority having 12-month lease terms allowing negotiation of rental rates at term end, which we believe reduces our exposure to the effects of inflation, although
an extreme and sustained escalation in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases.

Substantially all of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, our Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2023, we owned, through a combination of direct and indirect interests, 75.6% of the outstanding OP Units in our Operating Partnership.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013.
Our principal executive office is located at 222 Central Park Avenue, Suite 2100, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 in the Armada Hoffler Tower at the Virginia Beach Town Center. In addition, we have a construction office located at 1300 Thames Street, Suite 30, Baltimore, Maryland 21231 in Thames Street Wharf at Harbor Point. The telephone number for our principal executive office is (757) 366-4000. We maintain a website at ArmadaHoffler.com. The information on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into and does not constitute a part of this report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. Our accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon current available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical to understanding our reported financial results as their effect on our financial condition and results of operations is material.
Rental Revenues
We lease our properties under operating leases and recognize base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also recognize revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse us for expenses paid by us such as utilities, janitorial, repairs and maintenance, security and alarm, parking lot and grounds, general and administrative, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes on an accrual basis. Our rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. We include a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably certain. We begin recognizing rental revenue when the tenant has the right to take possession of or controls the physical use of the property under lease.
Rental revenue is recognized subject to management’s evaluation of tenant credit risk. The extended collection period for accrued straight-line rental revenue along with our evaluation of tenant credit risk may result in the nonrecognition of all or a portion of straight-line rental revenue until the collection of substantially all such revenue for a tenant is probable.
General Contracting and Real Estate Services Revenues
We recognize general contracting revenues as a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For each construction contract, we identify the performance obligations, which typically include the delivery of a single building constructed according to the specifications of the contract. We estimate the total transaction price, which generally includes a fixed contract price and may also include variable components such as early completion bonuses, liquidated damages, or cost savings to be shared with the customer. Variable components of the contract price are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. We recognize the estimated transaction price as revenue as we satisfy our performance obligations; we estimate our progress in satisfying performance obligations for each contract using the input method, based on the proportion of incurred costs relative to total estimated construction costs at completion. Construction contract costs include all direct material, direct labor, subcontract costs, and overhead costs directly related to contract performance. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, are all significant judgments that may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Additionally, the estimated costs at completion are affected by management’s forecasts of anticipated costs to be incurred and contingency reserves for exposures related to unknown costs,
47
Table of Contents
such as design deficiencies and subcontractor defaults. The estimated variable consideration is also affected by claims and unapproved change orders, which may result from changes in the scope of the contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized immediately in the period in which such losses are determined.
We recognize real estate services revenues from property development and management as we satisfy our performance obligations under these service arrangements.
We assess whether multiple contracts with a single counterparty may be combined into a single contract for the revenue recognition purposes based on factors such as the timing of the negotiation and execution of the contracts and whether the economic substance of the contracts was contemplated separately or in tandem.
Operating Property Acquisitions
Acquisitions of operating properties have been and will generally be accounted for as acquisitions of a group of assets, with costs incurred to effect an acquisition, including title, legal, accounting, brokerage commissions, and other related costs being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. In connection with operating property acquisitions, we identify and recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocations to tangible assets, such as land, site improvements, and buildings and improvements, are presented within income producing property in the consolidated balance sheets and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Acquired lease intangible assets are presented as a separate component of assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Acquired lease intangible liabilities are presented within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We amortize in-place lease assets as depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize above-market lease assets as reductions to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize below-market lease liabilities as increases to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize above and below-market ground lease assets as amortization of right-of-use assets – finance leases on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We capitalize the costs related to operating property acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business.
We value land based on a market approach, looking to recent sales of similar properties, adjusting for differences due to location, the state of entitlement, and the shape and size of the parcel. Improvements to land are valued using a replacement cost approach. The approach applies industry standard replacement costs adjusted for geographic specific considerations and reduced by estimated depreciation. The value of buildings acquired is estimated using the replacement cost approach, assuming the buildings were vacant at acquisition. The replacement cost approach considers the composition of the structures acquired, adjusted for an estimate of depreciation. The estimate of depreciation is made considering industry standard information and the expected useful lives of the assets. The value of acquired lease intangible assets and liabilities considers the estimated cost of leasing the properties as if the acquired buildings were vacant, as well as the value of the current leases relative to market-rate leases. The in-place lease value is determined using an estimated total lease-up time and lost rental revenues during such time. The value of current leases relative to market-rate leases is based on market rents obtained for comparable leases. Given the significance of unobservable inputs used in the valuation of acquired real estate assets, we classify them as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
We value debt assumed in connection with operating property acquisitions based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows of the debt. Such analysis considers the contractual terms of the debt, including the period to maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy (as described in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
Real Estate Impairment
We evaluate our real estate assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is necessary, we compare the carrying amount of any such real estate asset with the undiscounted expected future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, its use and eventual disposition. Our estimate of the expected future cash flows attributable to a real estate asset is based upon, among other things, our estimates regarding future market conditions, rental rates, occupancy levels, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, tenant concessions, and assumptions regarding the residual value of our properties. If the carrying amount of a real estate asset exceeds its associated undiscounted expected future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate asset to its fair value based on marketplace participant assumptions.

Interest Income
Interest income on notes receivable is accrued based on the contractual terms of the loans and when, in the opinion of management, it is deemed collectible. Many loans provide for accrual of interest that will not be paid until maturity of the loan. Interest is recognized on these loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest is ultimately collectible, based on the underlying collateral and the status of development activities, as applicable. If management cannot make this determination, recognition of interest income may be fully or partially deferred until it is ultimately paid. Interest income is also accrued as earned on interest-bearing deposits.
Expected Credit Losses
We evaluate the collectability of both the interest on and principal of each of our notes receivable based primarily upon the value of the underlying development project. We consider factors such as the progress of development activities, including leasing activities, projected development costs, and current and projected loan balances. We also consider historical industry data, such as loan defaults and losses experienced on loans secured by other development projects, and current economic conditions that may affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows. We measure expected credit losses to be incurred over the remaining contractual term based on the risk rating of each loan. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details on risk rating determination. If a loan is rated as substandard, we then estimate expected credit losses as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the outstanding loan and the estimated projected sales proceeds of the underlying collateral.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated effects on our consolidated financial statements see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Segment Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2023, we operated our business in five segments: (i) retail real estate, (ii) office real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate, (iv) general contracting and real estate services, and (v) real estate financing. See “—Real Estate Financing Segment Data” below for additional information regarding the real estate financing segment and its introduction as a reportable segment during the year ended December 31, 2023. Our general contracting and real estate services segment is conducted through our TRS.
NOI is the primary measure used by our chief operating decision-maker to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. We calculate NOI as segment revenues less segment expenses. Segment revenues include rental revenues for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services revenues for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest income for our real estate financing segment. Segment expenses include rental expenses and real estate taxes for our property segments, general contracting and real estate services expenses for our general contracting and real estate services segment, and interest expense for our real estate financing segment. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate, construction, and real estate financing businesses. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a reconciliation of NOI to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
We define same store properties as those that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods compared. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is fully or partially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the stabilization criteria above are again met. A property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of computing same store operating results.
This section of this Form 10-K generally discusses 2023 and 2022 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2023 and 2022. Discussions of 2021 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2022 and 2021 that are not included in this Form

Real Estate Financing Segment Data
During the first quarter of 2023, we updated our reportable segments to include real estate financing. This segment includes our mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments on development projects. The addition of the real estate financing segment as a reportable segment is consistent with how we view our operating performance and how the chief operational decision maker allocates our resources. The change in segmental presentation is a result of our continued investment in development projects through financing, which we no longer consider to be ad hoc investments, but an evolving portfolio. We also believe this change in segmental presentation further assists stockholders in assessing pertinent information about our operating performance. Our goal is to target approximately $80.0 million in outstanding principal of real estate financing investments. We underwrite these investments from a position of potential ownership. The real estate financing portfolio thereby serves as a development pipeline, particularly for growth in our multifamily real estate segment.

Real estate financing gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased 18.9% compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, primarily due to the accelerated recognition of minimum interest income on the Nexton Multifamily preferred equity investment in the fourth quarter of 2022, the satisfaction of The Interlock mezzanine loan in the second quarter of 2023, and rising interest rates, largely offset by interest rate derivatives.
Real estate financing gross profit for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased 14.7% compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, primarily due to repayment of the mezzanine loan related to Solis Apartments at The Interlock in the second quarter of 2021, principal repayments on The Interlock mezzanine loan during the year ended December 31, 2022, and rising interest rates, partially offset by interest rate derivatives.

Rental revenues increased $19.6 million, or 9.0%, during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase in retail rental revenues resulted primarily from the acquisition of The Interlock Retail in May 2023 and the acquisition of Pembroke Square in November 2022. The increase in office rental revenues resulted primarily from the acquisition of The Interlock Office and higher occupancy at Wills Wharf. The decrease in multifamily rental revenues resulted primarily from the disposition of The Residences at Annapolis Junction in July 2022, largely offset by the commencement of operations at Chronicle Mill and The Everly.
General contracting and real estate services revenues. General contracting and real estate services revenues increased $178.3 million, or 75.9%, during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase resulted primarily from the timing of new third-party construction projects in 2023 and higher contract volume.
Interest income. Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased $1.9 million, or 11.0%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022, due to the repayment of the Nexton Multifamily mezzanine loan in December 2022 and the redemption of The Interlock mezzanine loan in May 2023, partially offset by new real estate financing investments commenced during the year ended December 31, 2023. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, our outstanding real estate financing investment balances, including principal and accrued interest, were $83.4 million and $112.3 million, respectively.

Real estate taxes increased $0.4 million, or 1.7%, during the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. Retail real estate taxes were materially consistent. Office real estate taxes increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of The Interlock Office in May 2023 as well as increases in property tax assessments. Multifamily real estate taxes decreased primarily as a result of the disposition of The Residences at Annapolis Junction in July 2022, Hoffler Place in April 2022, and Summit Place in April 2022.

General contracting and real estate services expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $172.6 million, or 76.0%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

Depreciation and amortization. Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $23.1 million, or 31.7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of The Interlock in May 2023, the acquisition of Pembroke Square in November 2022, and accelerated in-place lease amortization in connection with space leased by WeWork at One City Center and The Interlock. The increase was partially offset by 2022

dispositions, which included Hoffler Place, Summit Place, The Residences at Annapolis Junction, and the retail portion of The Everly.
Amortization of right-of-use assets - finance leases. Amortization of right-of-use assets - finance leases for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $0.2 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase resulted primarily from the addition of a ground lease in conjunction with the acquisition of The Interlock.
General and administrative expenses. General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $2.4 million, or 15.5%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase resulted primarily from increased employee headcount as well as higher compensation, benefits, and training and development costs resulting from increased investment in human capital. The increase is further explained by an increase in professional services expenses in connection with transactions.
Acquisition, development, and other pursuit costs. Acquisition, development, and other pursuit costs for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were materially consistent.
Impairment charges. Impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2023 were immaterial.
Gain on real estate dispositions, net. Gain on real estate dispositions, net for the year ended December 31, 2023 totaled $0.7 million and related to the disposition of non-operating outparcels at Market at Mill Creek and Brooks Crossing Retail. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized gains on real estate dispositions of $53.5 million, primarily related to the disposition of The Residences at Annapolis Junction, the AutoZone and Valvoline outparcels at Sandbridge Commons, and the Home Depot and Costco parcels at North Pointe.
Interest expense. Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased $18.1 million, or 45.7%, compared to the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily due to higher levels of indebtedness in connection with the funding of development projects, real estate financing investments, and acquisitions, partially offset by debt paid off in connection with dispositions in 2022. The increase is also attributable to higher interest rates, largely offset by hedging interest rate derivatives, and the addition of a finance ground lease in conjunction with the acquisition of The Interlock.
Loss on extinguishment of debt. There was no loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2023. Loss on extinguishment of debt for the year ended December 31, 2022 primarily relates to the loan payoffs of Marketplace at Hilltop. Brooks Crossing Office, One City Center, 1405 Point, Red Mill West, and Delray Beach Plaza, the refinance of Liberty Apartments and Nexton Square, and loan payoffs associated with dispositions .
Change in fair value of derivatives and other. Change in fair value of derivatives and other for the year ended December 31, 2023 was a loss of $6.2 million, which primarily arose from decreases in the forward Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"), as well as the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate ("LIBOR") and the Bloomberg Short-Term Bank Yield Index ("BSBY"). The loss is also due to an increase in derivatives outstanding that are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes. The loss was partially offset by realized gains. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we recognized gain on changes in fair value of interest rate derivatives of $8.7 million due to increases in forward SOFR, LIBOR, and BSBY.
Unrealized credit loss (provision) release. Unrealized credit loss provision for the year ended December 31, 2023 relates to provisions for new real estate financing investments commenced in 2023, partially offset by the redemption of the mezzanine loan for The Interlock. Unrealized credit loss provision for the year ended December 31, 2022 relates to the provision recorded for the Solis City Park II and Solis Gainesville II investments, partially offset by a release related to the redemption of the Nexton Multifamily preferred equity investment.
Other income (expense), net. Other income (expense), net for the year ended December 31, 2023 was nominal. Other income (expense), net for the year ended December 31, 2023 was primarily composed of property insurance proceeds for various properties.
Income tax (provision) benefit. The income tax (provision) benefit recognized during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 is attributable to the taxable profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses, and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects, mezzanine loan funding requirements, and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans to fund new real estate development and construction, borrowings available under our amended credit facility, and net proceeds from the opportunistic sale of common stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program"), which is discussed below.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements, and capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, the issuance of equity and debt securities, and the opportunistic disposition of non-core properties. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our amended credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of December 31, 2023, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $27.9 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development and redevelopment activities. As of December 31, 2023, we also had restricted cash in escrow of $2.2 million, some of which is available for capital expenditures at our operating properties. As of December 31, 2023, we had $76.3 million available for borrowings under our amended credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $43.7 million available for borrowings under construction loans to fund development activities.
ATM Program
On March 10, 2020, we commenced the ATM Program through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock and shares of our Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, to or through our sales agents and, with respect to shares of our common stock, may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through the forward purchaser.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not issue any shares of common stock or Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM Program. Shares having an aggregate offering price of $205.0 million remained unsold under the ATM Program as of February 23, 2024.
Share Repurchase Program
On June 15, 2023, we adopted the $50.0 million Share Repurchase Program. Under the Share Repurchase Program, we may repurchase shares of our common stock and Series A Preferred Stock from time to time in the open market, in block purchases, through privately negotiated transactions, the use of trading plans intended to qualify under Rule 10b5-1 under the Exchange Act, or other means permitted. The Share Repurchase Program does not obligate us to acquire any specific number of shares or acquire shares over any specific period of time. The Share Repurchase Program may be suspended or discontinued at any time by us and does not have an expiration date.
During the year ended December 31, 2023, we repurchased 1,204,838 shares of common stock for a total of $12.6 million. During the year ended December 31, 2023, we did not repurchase any shares of Series A Preferred Stock. As of December 31, 2023, $37.4 million remained available for repurchases under the Share Repurchase Program.
Amended Credit Facility
On August 23, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $550.0 million credit facility comprised of a $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "amended credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks. Subject to available borrowing capacity, we intend to use future borrowings under the amended credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, mezzanine lending, and development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio, and for working capital.
58
Table of Contents
The amended credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 22, 2027, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 21, 2028.
On August 29, 2023, we increased the capacity of the revolving credit facility by $105.0 million by exercising the accordion feature in part, bringing the revolving credit facility capacity to $355.0 million and the total amended credit facility capacity to $655.0 million.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85%, and the term loan facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80%, in each case depending on our total leverage and in each case subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. We also are obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings. We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the amended credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty. Our unencumbered borrowing pool will support revolving borrowings of up to $343.3 million as of December 31, 2023.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the amended credit facility, and its obligations under the amended credit facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the amended credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the amended credit facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the amended credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the amended credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the amended credit facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The Credit Agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The Credit Agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts our ability to repurchase stock and units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership during the term of the amended credit facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the amended credit facility in whole or in part without significant premium or penalty, except for those portions subject to an interest rate swap agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the amended credit facility to be immediately due and payable.

We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
M&T Term Loan Facility
On December 6, 2022, we entered into a term loan agreement (the "M&T term loan agreement") with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, which provides a $100.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "M&T term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $200.0 million, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. The M&T term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of March 8, 2027, with a one-year extension option, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee.
The M&T term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by us based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on our total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by M&T Bank as its “prime rate” for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50%, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.00%. We have elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the M&T term loan facility, and its obligations under the M&T term loan facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The M&T term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the M&T term loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the M&T term loan facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the M&T term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the M&T term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the M&T term loan facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the M&T term loan agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The M&T term loan agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The M&T term loan agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts our ability to repurchase stock and units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership during the term of the M&T term loan facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the M&T term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty,
60

provided certain conditions are met.
The M&T term loan agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the M&T term loan facility to be immediately due and payable. A default under the Credit Agreement would also constitute a default under M&T term loan agreement.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the M&T term loan agreement.
TD Term Loan Facility
On May 19, 2023, we entered into a term loan agreement (the "TD term loan agreement") with Toronto Dominion (Texas) LLC, as administrative agent, and TD Bank, N.A. as lender, which provides a $75.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "TD term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $150.0 million, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. The TD term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of May 19, 2025, with a one-year extension option, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions, including an extension fee payment of 0.15% of the outstanding amount of the loan as of such date.
The TD term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by us based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. A term SOFR or Daily Simple SOFR loan is also subject to a credit spread adjustment of 0.10%. The margin under each interest rate election depends on our total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50% (b) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by the administrative agent as its “prime rate” for such day, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 0.01 basis points and (d) 1.00%. We have elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody's Investor Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings.
On June 29, 2023, the TD term loan facility commitment increased to $95.0 million as a result of the addition of a second lender to the facility.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the TD term loan facility, and its obligations under the TD term loan facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The TD term loan agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the TD term loan facility is subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants, and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the TD term loan facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the TD term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the TD term loan facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the TD term loan facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the TD term loan agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.

Amounts also include unused credit facility fees assuming the balance outstanding as of December 31, 2023 remains constant through maturity of our revolving credit facility.
(3)Contractual obligations above do not include funding obligations to non-wholly owned development projects as well as unfunded real estate financing investment commitments due to the uncertainty of the timing and amounts of certain of these obligations. Refer to "Item 1. Business" for information about our development projects, mezzanine loans and preferred equity investments.
(4)Contractual Obligations above exclude increased ground lease payments at 1405 Point which is classified as a note payable in the consolidated balance sheets.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
In connection with certain of our real estate financing activities and equity method investments, we have made guarantees to pay portions of certain senior loans of third parties associated with the development projects. As of December 31, 2023, we had an outstanding guarantee liability of $0.1 million related to the $32.9 million payment guarantee for the senior loan on Harbor Point Parcel 4. As of December 31, 2023, no amounts have been funded on this senior loan.
In connection with our Harbor Point Parcel 3 unconsolidated joint venture, we are responsible for providing a completion guarantee to the lender for this project.
Unfunded Loan Commitments
We may be a party to financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk in the normal course of business to meet the financial needs of our borrowers. These commitments are not reflected on the consolidated balance sheet. As of December 31, 2023, our off-balance sheet arrangements consisted of $46.3 million of unfunded commitments of our notes receivable. We have recorded a $0.7 million credit loss reserve in conjunction with the total unfunded commitments. Such commitments are subject to our borrowers’ satisfaction of certain financial and nonfinancial covenants and involve, to varying degrees, elements of credit risk in excess of the amount recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The commitments may or may not be

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 decreased by $23.5 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The change was primarily attributable to an increase in operating assets and liabilities of $24.3 million during the year ended December 31, 2023.
Net cash used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $204.0 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The change was primarily attributable to proceeds received from dispositions in 2022, as well as increases in real estate financing note receivable issuances in 2023.
Net cash provided by (used for) financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2023 increased by $194.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2022. The change was primarily attributable to higher net borrowings, partially offset by equity repurchases of $12.6 million in 2023.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO and Normalized FFO
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains or losses from the sales of certain real estate assets, gains or losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions
66
Table of Contents
which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs.
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ calculations of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our period-over-period performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment and accelerated amortization of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development, and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, amortization of payments made to purchase interest rate caps and swaps designated as cash flow hedges, provision for unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items. Other equity REITs may not calculate Normalized FFO in the same manner as we do, and, accordingly, our Normalized FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' Normalized FFO.

Inflation
Substantially all of our office and retail leases provide for the recovery of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, substantially all of the leases provide for annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be offset in part by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations previously described. In addition, our multifamily leases generally have lease terms ranging from 7 to 15 months with a majority having 12-month lease terms allowing negotiation of rental rates at term end, which we believe reduces our exposure to the effects of inflation, although
an extreme and sustained escalation in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Business Description
We are a full-service real estate company with extensive experience developing, building, owning, and managing high-quality, institutional-grade office, retail, and multifamily properties in attractive markets throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States. As of December 31, 2022, our stabilized operating property portfolio was comprised of 38 retail

Table of Contents
properties, 9 office properties, and 10 multifamily properties. In addition to our operating property portfolio, we had one mixed-use property and one multifamily property in various stages of predevelopment, development, redevelopment, or stabilization as of December 31, 2022. We also provide general contracting services to third parties and invest in development projects through mezzanine lending arrangements and equity investments.
Substantially all of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, our Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2022, we owned, through a combination of direct and indirect interests, 76.7% of the outstanding OP units in our Operating Partnership.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013.
Our principal executive office is located at 222 Central Park Avenue, Suite 2100, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 in the Armada Hoffler Tower at the Virginia Beach Town Center. In addition, we have a construction office located at 1300 Thames Street, Suite 30, Baltimore, Maryland 21231 in Thames Street Wharf at Harbor Point. The telephone number for our principal executive office is (757) 366-4000. We maintain a website at ArmadaHoffler.com. The information on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into and does not constitute a part of this report.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon current available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical to understanding our reported financial results as their effect on our financial condition and results of operations is material.
Rental Revenues
We lease our properties under operating leases and recognize base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also recognize revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse us for expenses paid by us such as utilities, janitorial, repairs and maintenance, security and alarm, parking lot and grounds, general and administrative, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes on an accrual basis. Our rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. We include a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably certain. We begin recognizing rental revenue when the tenant has the right to take possession of or controls the physical use of the property under lease.
Rental revenue is recognized subject to management’s evaluation of tenant credit risk. The extended collection period for accrued straight-line rental revenue along with our evaluation of tenant credit risk may result in the nonrecognition of all or a portion of straight-line rental revenue until the collection of substantially all such revenue for a tenant is probable.
General Contracting and Real Estate Services Revenues
We recognize general contracting revenues as a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For each construction contract, we identify the performance obligations, which typically include the delivery of a single building constructed according to the specifications of the contract. We estimate the total transaction price, which generally includes a fixed contract price and may also include variable components such as early completion bonuses, liquidated damages, or cost savings to be shared with the customer. Variable components of the contract price are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. We recognize the estimated transaction price as revenue as we satisfy our performance obligations; we estimate our progress in satisfying performance obligations for each contract using the input method, based on the proportion of incurred costs relative to total estimated construction costs at completion. Construction contract costs include all direct material, direct labor, subcontract costs, and overhead costs directly related to contract performance. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, are all significant judgments that may result in revisions to costs and income
43
Table of Contents
and are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Additionally, the estimated costs at completion are affected by management’s forecasts of anticipated costs to be incurred and contingency reserves for exposures related to unknown costs, such as design deficiencies and subcontractor defaults. The estimated variable consideration is also affected by claims and unapproved change orders, which may result from changes in the scope of the contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized immediately in the period in which such losses are determined.
We recognize real estate services revenues from property development and management as we satisfy our performance obligations under these service arrangements.
We assess whether multiple contracts with a single counterparty may be combined into a single contract for the revenue recognition purposes based on factors such as the timing of the negotiation and execution of the contracts and whether the economic substance of the contracts was contemplated separately or in tandem.
Operating Property Acquisitions
Acquisitions of operating properties have been and will generally be accounted for as acquisitions of a group of assets, with costs incurred to effect an acquisition, including title, legal, accounting, brokerage commissions, and other related costs being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. In connection with operating property acquisitions, we identify and recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocations to tangible assets, such as land, site improvements, and buildings and improvements, are presented within income producing property in the consolidated balance sheets and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Acquired lease intangible assets are presented as a separate component of assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Acquired lease intangible liabilities are presented within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We amortize in-place lease assets as depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize above-market lease assets as reductions to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize below-market lease liabilities as increases to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize above and below-market ground lease assets as amortization of right-of-use assets – finance leases on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We capitalize the costs related to operating property acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business.
We value land based on a market approach, looking to recent sales of similar properties, adjusting for differences due to location, the state of entitlement, and the shape and size of the parcel. Improvements to land are valued using a replacement cost approach. The approach applies industry standard replacement costs adjusted for geographic specific considerations and reduced by estimated depreciation. The value of buildings acquired is estimated using the replacement cost approach, assuming the buildings were vacant at acquisition. The replacement cost approach considers the composition of the structures acquired, adjusted for an estimate of depreciation. The estimate of depreciation is made considering industry standard information and the expected useful lives of the assets. The value of acquired lease intangible assets and liabilities considers the estimated cost of leasing the properties as if the acquired buildings were vacant, as well as the value of the current leases relative to market-rate leases. The in-place lease value is determined using an estimated total lease-up time and lost rental revenues during such time. The value of current leases relative to market-rate leases is based on market rents obtained for comparable leases. Given the significance of unobservable inputs used in the valuation of acquired real estate assets, we classify them as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
We value debt assumed in connection with operating property acquisitions based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows of the debt. Such analysis considers the contractual terms of the debt, including the period to maturity, credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy (as described in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
Real Estate Impairment
We evaluate our real estate assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is necessary, we compare the carrying amount of any such real estate asset with the undiscounted expected future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, its use and eventual disposition. Our estimate of the expected future cash flows attributable to a real estate asset is based upon, among other things, our estimates regarding future market conditions, rental rates, occupancy levels, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, tenant concessions, and assumptions regarding the residual value of our properties. If the carrying amount of a real estate asset exceeds its associated undiscounted expected future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate asset to its fair value based on marketplace participant assumptions.

Interest Income
Interest income on notes receivable is accrued based on the contractual terms of the loans and when, in the opinion of management, it is deemed collectible. Many loans provide for accrual of interest that will not be paid until maturity of the loan. Interest is recognized on these loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest is ultimately collectible, based on the underlying collateral and the status of development activities, as applicable. If management cannot make this determination, recognition of interest income may be fully or partially deferred until it is ultimately paid.
Expected Credit Losses
We evaluate the collectability of both the interest on and principal of each of our notes receivable based primarily upon the value of the underlying development project. We consider factors such as the progress of development activities, including leasing activities, projected development costs, current and projected loan balances. We also consider historical industry data, such as loan defaults and losses experienced on loans secured by other development projects, and current economic conditions that may affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows. We measure expected credit losses to be incurred over the remaining contractual term based on the risk rating of each loan. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details on risk rating determination. If a loan is rated as substandard, we then estimate expected credit losses as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the outstanding loan and the estimated projected sales proceeds of the underlying collateral.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
For a summary of recent accounting pronouncements and the anticipated effects on our consolidated financial statements see Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements included in Item 8 of this Form 10-K.
Segment Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2022, we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate, and (iv) general contracting and real estate services that are conducted through our TRSs. NOI (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by management to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a reconciliation of NOI to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
We define same store properties as those that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods compared. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is substantially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the stabilization criteria above are again met. A property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of computing same store operating results.
This section of this Form 10-K generally discusses 2022 and 2021 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2022 and 2021. Discussions of 2020 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2021 and 2020 that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021.

Rental revenues increased $27.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase in office rental revenues resulted primarily from the acquisition of the Constellation Energy Building and increased occupancy at Wills Wharf, Thames Street Wharf, and Armada Hoffler Tower. The increase in retail rental revenues resulted primarily from the acquisitions of Greenbrier Square, Overlook Village, Delray Beach Plaza and Pembroke Square, as well as increased occupancy across the retail portfolio. The decrease in multifamily rental revenues resulted primarily from the dispositions of John Hopkins Village, The Residences at Annapolis Junction, Summit Place and Hoffler Place. The decrease was partially offset by the acquisition of 1305 Dock Street and the commencement of operations at Gainesville Apartments and Chronicle Mill, as well as increased rental rates across the portfolio.
General contracting and real estate services revenues. General contracting and real estate services revenues increased $142.9 million during the year ended December 31, 2022 compared to the year ended December 31, 2021.

Amortization of right-of-use assets - finance leases for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 were materially consistent.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $1.1 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021. The increase resulted primarily from higher compensation costs due to increased investment in human capital and legal fees associated with 2022 transactions.
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was materially consistent.
Impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $0.4 million and primarily related to impairment charges recognized on acquired lease intangibles of certain properties.
Gain on real estate dispositions for the year ended December 31, 2022 totaled $53.5 million and related primarily to the disposition of The Residences at Annapolis Junction, the AutoZone and Valvoline outparcels at Sandbridge Commons, and the Home Depot and Costco parcels at North Pointe. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized gains on real estate dispositions of $19.0 million, related to the dispositions of Hanbury 7-Eleven, Oakland Marketplace, Courthouse 7-Eleven, and Johns Hopkins Village.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased $1.5 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021, as a result of lower loan balances from principal repayments on the Interlock Commercial loan, partially offset by the prepayment premium received from the repayment of the Nexton Multifamily loan and funding of the City Park 2 and Solis Gainesville II loans. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, our outstanding mezzanine loan balances were $112.3 million and $118.9 million, respectively.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased $5.8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to loans obtained and assumed in connection with acquisitions and increased amortization of interest rate cap premiums.
Loss on extinguishment of debt decreased $0.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to less loss recognized on the loan payoffs and refinances in 2022, compared to the loss recognized in 2021 in conjunction with the disposition of John Hopkins Village and the termination of the related interest rate swap.
Change in fair value of derivatives and other for the year ended December 31, 2022 was a gain of $8.7 million, which arose from increases in forward LIBOR, SOFR and BSBY. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we recognized gain on changes in fair value of interest rate derivatives of $2.2 million due to significant increases in forward LIBOR during 2021.
Unrealized credit loss provision for the year ended December 31, 2022 relates to the reserves recorded for the City Park 2 and Solis Gainesville II investments, offset by a release in the allowance for the Nexton Multifamily preferred equity investment.
Other income (expense), net for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was materially consistent.
The income tax benefit recognized during the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 is attributable to the taxable profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses, and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects, mezzanine loan funding requirements, and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans to fund new real estate development and construction, borrowings available under our credit facility, and net proceeds from the sale of common stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program"), which is discussed below.
51
Table of Contents
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements, and capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of December 31, 2022, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $48.1 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development activities. As of December 31, 2022, we also had restricted cash in escrow of $3.7 million, some of which is available for capital expenditures at our operating properties. As of December 31, 2022, we had $233.5 million available under our credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $81.1 million available under construction loans to fund development activities.
ATM Program
On March 10, 2020, we commenced the ATM Program through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock and shares of our Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, to or through our sales agents and, with respect to shares of our common stock, may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through the forward purchaser.
During the year ended December 31, 2022, we issued and sold 475,074 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $15.21 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $7.1 million. During the year ended December 31, 2022, we did not issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM Program.
As of December 31, 2022, we had $205.0 million in availability under the ATM Program.
Common Stock Issuance
On January 11, 2022, we completed an underwritten public offering of 4,025,000 shares of common stock, which were purchased from us at a purchase price of $14.45 per share of common stock, which resulted in net proceeds after offering costs of $58.0 million.
Amended Credit Facility
On August 23, 2022, we entered into an amended and restated credit agreement (the "Credit Agreement"), which provides for a $550.0 million credit facility comprised of a $250.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $300.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "amended credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks. The amended credit facility replaces the prior $150.0 million revolving credit facility, which was scheduled to mature on January 24, 2024, and the prior $205.0 million term loan facility, which was scheduled to mature on January 24, 2025. The additional borrowings under the term loan facility were used to pay off the loans secured by 1405 Point, Brooks Crossing Office, and One City Center. Subject to available borrowing capacity, we intend to use future borrowings under the amended credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, mezzanine lending, and development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio, and for working capital.
The amended credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $1.0 billion, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 22, 2027, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 21, 2028.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85%, and the term loan facility bears interest at SOFR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80%, in each case depending on our total leverage. These interest rates approximate the terms of the previous credit facility despite market pressures at the time the Credit Agreement was executed. We also are obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the revolving credit facility. If the Company or the Operating Partnership attains investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and Moody’s Investors Service, Inc., we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings. We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the amended credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty. Our unencumbered borrowing pool will support revolving borrowings of up to $250.0 million as of December 31, 2022.

Table of Contents
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the amended credit facility, and its obligations under the amended credit facility are guaranteed by us and certain of our subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The Credit Agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the amended credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the amended credit facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of (i) $825.2 million and (ii) an amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received by us after June 30, 2022;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness (excluding the amended credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt (excluding the amended credit facility if it becomes secured indebtedness) to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the Credit Agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the Credit Agreement) of not less than $500.0 million at any time; and
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time.
The Credit Agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends if a default has occurred and is continuing or would result therefrom. However, if certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends to the extent necessary to (i) maintain our status as a REIT and (ii) avoid federal or state income excise taxes. The Credit Agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts our ability to repurchase stock and units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership during the term of the amended credit facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the amended credit facility in whole or in part without significant premium or penalty, except for those portions subject to an interest rate swap agreement.
The Credit Agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest and all other amounts payable under the amended credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.
M&T Term Loan Facility
On December 6, 2022, we entered into a term loan agreement (the "M&T term loan agreement") with Manufacturers and Traders Trust Company, which provides a $100.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "M&T term loan facility"), with the option to increase the total capacity to $200.0 million, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions. The proceeds from the M&T term loan facility were used to repay the loans secured by the Wills Wharf, 249 Central Park Retail, Fountain Plaza Retail, and South Retail properties. The M&T term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of March 8, 2027, with a one-year extension option, subject to our satisfaction of certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee.
The M&T term loan facility bears interest at a rate elected by us based on term SOFR, Daily Simple SOFR, or the Base Rate (as defined below), and in each case plus a margin. The margin under each interest rate election depends on our total leverage. The "Base Rate" is equal to the highest of: (a) the rate of interest in effect for such day as publicly announced from time to time by M&T Bank as its “prime rate” for such day, (b) the Federal Funds Rate for such day, plus 0.50%, (c) one month term SOFR for such day plus 100 basis points and (d) 1.00%. For the year ended December 31, 2022, we have elected for the loan to bear interest at term SOFR plus margin. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from both S&P Global Ratings and

We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay the M&T term loan facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, provided certain conditions are met.
The term loan agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary cure periods. The occurrence of an event of default, if not cured within the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the M&T term loan facility to be immediately due and payable.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the M&T term loan agreement.

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $25.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily as a result of increased net operating income from the property portfolio and an increase in gross profit from general contracting and real estate services, slightly offset by timing differences in operating assets and liabilities.
Net cash used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2022 decreased by $24.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily due to the sale of The Residences at Annapolis Junction, which was partially offset by acquisition activity.
Net cash used for financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2022 increased by $28.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2021 primarily as a result of the increased debt repayments and increased dividend and distribution payments during the year.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO and Normalized FFO
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding depreciation and amortization related to real estate, gains or losses from the sales of certain real estate assets, gains or losses from change in control, and impairment write-downs of certain real estate assets and investments in entities when the impairment is directly attributable to decreases in the value of depreciable real estate held by the entity.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it believes that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared period-over-period, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' FFO.
58
Table of Contents
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ calculation of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our year-over-year performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives not designated as cash flow hedges, certain costs for interest rate caps designated as cash flow hedges, provision for unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items. Other equity REITs may not calculate Normalized FFO in the same manner as we do, and, accordingly, our Normalized FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' Normalized FFO.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and Normalized FFO for each of the years ended December 31, 2022, 2021 and 2020 to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

Inflation
59
Table of Contents
Substantially all of our office and retail leases provide for the recovery of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, substantially all of the leases provide for annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be offset in part by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations previously described. In addition, our multifamily leases generally have lease terms ranging from 7 to 15 months with a majority having 12-month lease terms allowing negotiation of rental rates at term end, which we believe reduces our exposure to the effects of inflation, although
an extreme and sustained escalation in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
Business Description
We are a full-service real estate company with extensive experience developing, building, owning, and managing high-quality, institutional-grade office, retail, and multifamily properties in attractive markets throughout the Mid-Atlantic and Southeastern United States. As of December 31, 2021, our stabilized operating property portfolio was comprised of 37 retail properties, 7 office properties, and 11 multifamily properties. In addition to our operating property portfolio, we had 1 mixed-use property, 1 office property, and 3 multifamily properties in various stages of predevelopment, development, redevelopment, or stabilization as of December 31, 2021. We also provide general contracting services to third parties and invest in development projects through mezzanine lending arrangements.
Substantially all of our assets are held by, and all of our operations are conducted through, our Operating Partnership. We are the sole general partner of our Operating Partnership and, as of December 31, 2021, we owned, through a combination of direct and indirect interests, 75.3% of the outstanding OP units in our Operating Partnership.
We elected to be taxed as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2013.
Our principal executive office is located at 222 Central Park Avenue, Suite 2100, Virginia Beach, Virginia 23462 in the Armada Hoffler Tower at the Virginia Beach Town Center. In addition, we have a construction office located at 1300 Thames Street, Suite 30, Baltimore, Maryland 21231 in Thames Street Wharf at Harbor Point. The telephone number for our principal executive office is (757) 366-4000. We maintain a website at ArmadaHoffler.com. The information on, or accessible through, our website is not incorporated into and does not constitute a part of this report.
COVID-19 Update
See Part I, Item 1 “Business—Impact of COVID-19 on Our Business” for more information on the impact of COVID-19 on our company.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our consolidated financial statements that have been prepared in accordance with GAAP. The Company's accounting policies are more fully described in Note 2 of our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K. As disclosed in Note 2, the preparation of these financial statements requires us to exercise our best judgment in making estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We evaluate our estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon current available information. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
We believe the following accounting policies and estimates are the most critical to understanding our reported financial results as their effect on our financial condition and results of operations is material.
Rental Revenues
We lease our properties under operating leases and recognize base rents on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We also recognize revenue from tenant recoveries, through which tenants reimburse us for expenses paid by us such as utilities, janitorial, repairs and maintenance, security and alarm, parking lot and grounds, general and administrative, management fees, insurance, and real estate taxes on an accrual basis. Our rental revenues are reduced by the amount of any leasing incentives on a straight-line basis over the term of the applicable lease. We include a renewal period in the lease term only if it appears at lease inception that the renewal is reasonably certain. We begin recognizing rental revenue when the tenant has the right to take possession of or controls the physical use of the property under lease.
Rental revenue is recognized subject to management’s evaluation of tenant credit risk. The extended collection period for accrued straight-line rental revenue along with our evaluation of tenant credit risk may result in the nonrecognition of all or a portion of straight-line rental revenue until the collection of substantially all such revenue for a tenant is probable.
44
Table of Contents
General Contracting and Real Estate Services Revenues
We recognize general contracting revenues as a customer obtains control of promised goods or services in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those goods or services. For each construction contract, we identify the performance obligations, which typically include the delivery of a single building constructed according to the specifications of the contract. We estimate the total transaction price, which generally includes a fixed contract price and may also include variable components such as early completion bonuses, liquidated damages, or cost savings to be shared with the customer. Variable components of the contract price are included in the transaction price to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. We recognize the estimated transaction price as revenue as we satisfy our performance obligations; we estimate our progress in satisfying performance obligations for each contract using the input method, based on the proportion of incurred costs relative to total estimated construction costs at completion. Construction contract costs include all direct material, direct labor, subcontract costs, and overhead costs directly related to contract performance. Changes in job performance, job conditions, and estimated profitability, including those arising from contract penalty provisions and final contract settlements, are all significant judgments that may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which they are determined. Additionally, the estimated costs at completion are affected by management’s forecasts of anticipated costs to be incurred and contingency reserves for exposures related to unknown costs, such as design deficiencies and subcontractor defaults. The estimated variable consideration is also affected by claims and unapproved change orders, which may result from changes in the scope of the contract. Provisions for estimated losses on uncompleted contracts are recognized immediately in the period in which such losses are determined.
We recognize real estate services revenues from property development and management as we satisfy our performance obligations under these service arrangements.
We assess whether multiple contracts with a single counterparty may be combined into a single contract for the revenue recognition purposes based on factors such as the timing of the negotiation and execution of the contracts and whether the economic substance of the contracts was contemplated separately or in tandem.
Operating Property Acquisitions
Acquisitions of operating properties have been and will generally be accounted for as acquisitions of a group of assets, with costs incurred to effect an acquisition, including title, legal, accounting, brokerage commissions, and other related costs being capitalized as part of the cost of the assets acquired. In connection with operating property acquisitions, we identify and recognize all assets acquired and liabilities assumed at their relative fair values as of the acquisition date. The purchase price allocations to tangible assets, such as land, site improvements, and buildings and improvements, are presented within income producing property in the consolidated balance sheets and depreciated over their estimated useful lives. Acquired lease intangible assets are presented as a separate component of assets on the consolidated balance sheets. Acquired lease intangible liabilities are presented within other liabilities in the consolidated balance sheets. We amortize in-place lease assets as depreciation and amortization expense on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize above-market lease assets as reductions to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize below-market lease liabilities as increases to rental revenues on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We amortize below-market ground lease assets as increases to rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the related leases. We capitalize the costs related to operating property acquisitions that do not meet the definition of a business.
We value land based on a market approach, looking to recent sales of similar properties, adjusting for differences due to location, the state of entitlement, and the shape and size of the parcel. Improvements to land are valued using a replacement cost approach. The approach applies industry standard replacement costs adjusted for geographic specific considerations and reduced by estimated depreciation. The value of buildings acquired is estimated using the replacement cost approach, assuming the buildings were vacant at acquisition. The replacement cost approach considers the composition of the structures acquired, adjusted for an estimate of depreciation. The estimate of depreciation is made considering industry standard information and depreciation curves for the identified asset classes. The value of acquired lease intangible assets and liabilities considers the estimated cost of leasing the properties as if the acquired buildings were vacant, as well as the value of the current leases relative to market-rate leases. The in-place lease value is determined using an estimated total lease-up time and lost rental revenues during such time. The value of current leases relative to market-rate leases is based on market rents obtained for comparable leases. Given the significance of unobservable inputs used in the valuation of acquired real estate assets, we classify them as Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy.
We value debt assumed in connection with operating property acquisitions based on a discounted cash flow analysis of the expected cash flows of the debt. Such analysis considers the contractual terms of the debt, including the period to maturity,

Table of Contents
credit characteristics, and other terms of the arrangements, which are Level 3 inputs in the fair value hierarchy (as described in Note 12 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K).
Real Estate Project Costs
We capitalize direct and certain indirect costs clearly associated with the development, redevelopment, construction, leasing, or expansion of our real estate assets. Capitalized project costs include direct material, labor, subcontract costs, real estate taxes, insurance, utilities, ground rent, interest on borrowing obligations, and salaries and related personnel costs.
We capitalize direct and indirect project costs associated with the initial construction or redevelopment of a property up to the time the property is substantially complete and ready for its intended use.
We also capitalize direct and indirect costs, including interest costs, on vacant space during extended lease-up periods after construction of the building shell has been completed if costs are being incurred to prepare the vacant space for its intended use. If costs and activities incurred to prepare the vacant space for its intended use cease, then cost capitalization is also discontinued until such activities are resumed. Once necessary work has been completed on a vacant space, project costs are no longer capitalized. In addition, all leasing commissions paid to third parties for new leases or lease renewals are capitalized.
We depreciate buildings on a straight-line basis over 39 years and tenant improvements over the shorter of their estimated useful lives or the term of the related lease.
Real Estate Impairment
We evaluate our real estate assets for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. If such an evaluation is necessary, we compare the carrying amount of any such real estate asset with the undiscounted expected future cash flows that are directly associated with, and that are expected to arise as a direct result of, its use and eventual disposition. Our estimate of the expected future cash flows attributable to a real estate asset is based upon, among other things, our estimates regarding future market conditions, rental rates, occupancy levels, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, tenant concessions, and assumptions regarding the residual value of our properties. If the carrying amount of a real estate asset exceeds its associated undiscounted expected future cash flows, we recognize an impairment loss to reduce the carrying amount of the real estate asset to its fair value based on marketplace participant assumptions.
Interest Income
Interest income on notes receivable is accrued based on the contractual terms of the loans and when, in the opinion of management, it is deemed collectible. Many loans provide for accrual of interest that will not be paid until maturity of the loan. Interest is recognized on these loans at the accrual rate subject to management's determination that accrued interest is ultimately collectible, based on the underlying collateral and the status of development activities, as applicable. If management cannot make this determination, recognition of interest income may be fully or partially deferred until it is ultimately paid.
Expected credit losses
We evaluate the collectability of both the interest on and principal of each of our notes receivable based primarily upon the value of the underlying development project. We consider factors such as the progress of development activities, including leasing activities, projected development costs, current and projected loan balances. We also consider historical industry data, such as loan defaults and losses experienced on loans secured by other development projects, and current economic conditions that may affect the collectability of the remaining cash flows. At the end of each reporting period, the Company measures expected credit losses to be incurred over the remaining contractual term based on the risk rating of each loan. See Note 2 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for details on risk rating determination. If a loan is rated as substandard, we then estimate expected credit losses as the difference between the amortized cost basis of the outstanding loan and the estimated projected sales proceeds of the underlying collateral.

Segment Results of Operations
As of December 31, 2021, we operated our business in four segments: (i) office real estate, (ii) retail real estate, (iii) multifamily residential real estate, and (iv) general contracting and real estate services that are conducted through our TRSs. NOI (segment revenues minus segment expenses) is the measure used by management to assess segment performance and allocate our resources among our segments. NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities as measured by GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. As a result, NOI should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate NOI in the same manner. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our real estate and construction businesses. See Note 3 to our consolidated financial statements in Item 8 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K for a reconciliation of NOI to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
We define same store properties as those that we owned and operated and that were stabilized for the entirety of both periods compared. We generally consider a property to be stabilized upon the earlier of: (i) the quarter after the property reaches 80% occupancy or (ii) the thirteenth quarter after the property receives its certificate of occupancy. Additionally, any property that is substantially taken out of service for the purpose of redevelopment is no longer considered stabilized until the redevelopment activities are complete, the asset is placed back into service, and the stabilization criteria above are again met. A property may also be fully or partially taken out of service as a result of a partial disposition, depending on the significance of the portion of the property disposed. Finally, any property classified as held for sale is taken out of service for the purpose of computing same store operating results.
This section of this Form 10-K generally discusses 2021 and 2020 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2021 and 2020. Discussions of 2019 items and year-to-year comparisons between 2020 and 2019 that are not included in this Form 10-K can be found in "Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations" in Part II, Item 7 of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020.

Rental revenues increased $25.7 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase in office rental revenues resulted primarily from the commencement of operations at Wills Wharf in June 2020 and an increase in recoverable expenses at Thames Street Wharf. The increase in retail rental revenues resulted primarily from the acquisitions of Nexton Square, Delray Beach Plaza, Overlook Village, and Greenbrier Square along with the completion of the redevelopment at Apex Entertainment. Additionally, rental revenue has increased for Harrisonburg Regal due to higher rental revenue received from Regal Cinemas. These increases were partially offset by the disposition of the seven-property retail portfolio in May 2020 as well as the dispositions of Oakland Marketplace and Socastee Commons. The increase in multifamily rental revenues resulted primarily from the acquisition of Edison Apartments and The Residences at Annapolis Junction, the delivery of Summit Place, and higher occupancy and rental rates at multiple properties. These increases were partially offset by the disposition of Johns Hopkins Village in November 2021.
General contracting and real estate services revenues. General contracting and real estate services revenues decreased $125.2 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease resulted primarily from a lower volume of projects during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Rental expenses increased $7.5 million during the year ended December 31, 2021 compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. Office rental expenses increased primarily as a result of the Wills Wharf property being placed into service beginning in June 2020 as well as higher recoverable utility costs due to tenants returning to work in their offices. Retail rental expenses increased primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Nexton Square, Delray Beach Plaza, Overlook Village, and Greenbrier Square along with the completion of the redevelopment at Apex Entertainment. These increases were partially offset by the disposition of the seven-property retail portfolio in May 2020 as well as the dispositions of Oakland Marketplace and Socastee Commons.

an increased assessment at Thames Street Wharf. Retail real estate taxes increased primarily as a result of the acquisitions of Nexton Square, Delray Beach Plaza, Overlook Village, and Greenbrier Square. These increases were partially offset by the disposition of the seven-property retail portfolio in May 2020 as well as the dispositions of Oakland Marketplace and Socastee Commons. Multifamily real estate taxes increased primarily as a result of the acquisition of Edison Apartments and The Residences at Annapolis Junction, the delivery of Summit Place, and expiring real estate tax credits at Johns Hopkins Village.
General contracting and real estate services expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased $121.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease resulted primarily from a lower volume of projects during the year ended December 31, 2021.
Depreciation and amortization for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $8.9 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was attributable to property acquisitions and development deliveries. The increases were partially offset by dispositions in 2020 and 2021, and certain assets that became fully depreciated.
Amortization of right-of-use assets - finance leases for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $0.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase was primarily due to the acquisition of Delray Beach Plaza shopping center, which has a ground lease classified as a finance lease.
General and administrative expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $1.7 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The increase resulted from increased business insurance expense and higher compensation cost due to increased investment in human capital and sustainability initiatives.
Acquisition, development and other pursuit costs for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased $0.5 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020. The decrease was due to a higher write off of costs for the year ended December 31, 2020 relating to certain development projects and acquisitions that were abandoned.
Impairment charges during the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $21.4 million and related to impairment charges recognized on Socastee Commons, which was disposed in August 2021, and the two student housing properties in Charleston, South Carolina, which were classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2021.
Gain on real estate dispositions for the year ended December 31, 2021 totaled $19.0 million and related to the dispositions of Hanbury 7-Eleven, Oakland Marketplace, Courthouse 7-Eleven, and Johns Hopkins Village. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized gains on real estate dispositions of $6.4 million, related to the sale of a portfolio of seven retail properties in May 2020 and the sale of Walgreens at Hanbury Village in August 2020.
Interest income for the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased $1.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020, primarily as a result of the lower notes receivable balance in the current period due to the repayment of mezzanine loans for The Residences at Annapolis Junction, Delray Beach Plaza, and Nexton Square. As of December 31, 2021 and 2020, our outstanding mezzanine loan balances were $118.9 million and $128.6 million, respectively.
Interest expense for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased $2.9 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to the loans obtained and assumed in connection with acquisitions.
Loss on extinguishment of debt increased $3.8 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to the disposition of Johns Hopkins Village and the termination of the related interest rate swap.
Change in fair value of derivatives and other for the year ended December 31, 2021 was a gain of $2.2 million, which arose from fair value increases for our derivative instruments due to increases in forward LIBOR. During the year ended December 31, 2020, we recognized losses on changes in fair value of interest rate derivatives of $1.1 million due to significant decreases in forward LIBOR during 2020.
Unrealized credit loss release relates to a release in the allowance for the Interlock Commercial mezzanine loan due to the progression of the development project, which was partially offset by the reserve recorded for the Nexton Multifamily investment.
Other income (expense), net for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 was materially consistent.
The income tax benefit recognized during the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 is attributable to the taxable profits and losses of our development and construction businesses that we operate through our TRS.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe our primary short-term liquidity requirements consist of general contractor expenses, operating expenses, and other expenditures associated with our properties, including tenant improvements, leasing commissions and leasing incentives, dividend payments to our stockholders required to maintain our REIT qualification, debt service, capital expenditures, new real estate development projects, mezzanine loan funding requirements, and strategic acquisitions. We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through net cash provided by operations, reserves established from existing cash, borrowings under construction loans to fund new real estate development and construction, borrowings available under our credit facility, and net proceeds from the sale of common stock through our at-the-market continuous equity offering program (the "ATM Program"), which is discussed below.
Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary for the repayment of debt at or prior to maturity, general contracting expenses, property development and acquisitions, tenant improvements, and capital improvements. We expect to meet our long-term liquidity requirements with net cash from operations, long-term secured and unsecured indebtedness, and the issuance of equity and debt securities. We also may fund property development and acquisitions and capital improvements using our credit facility pending long-term financing.
As of December 31, 2021, we had unrestricted cash and cash equivalents of $35.2 million available for both current liquidity needs as well as development activities. As of December 31, 2021, we also had restricted cash in escrow of $5.2 million, some of which is available for capital expenditures at our operating properties. As of December 31, 2021, we had $110 million available under our credit facility to meet our short-term liquidity requirements and $60.1 million available under construction loans to fund development activities.
ATM Program
On March 10, 2020, we commenced a new ATM Program through which we may, from time to time, issue and sell shares of our common stock and shares of our Series A Preferred Stock having an aggregate offering price of up to $300.0 million, to or through our sales agents and, with respect to shares of our common stock, may enter into separate forward sales agreements to or through the forward purchaser.
During the year ended December 31, 2021, we issued and sold 3,801,731 shares of common stock at a weighted average price of $13.87 per share under the ATM Program, receiving net proceeds, after offering costs and commissions, of $51.7 million. During the year ended December 31, 2021, we did not issue any shares of Series A Preferred Stock under the ATM Program.
As of December 31, 2021, we had $212.2 million in availability under the ATM Program.
Recent Common Equity Offering
On January 11, 2022, we completed an underwritten public offering of 4,025,000 shares of common stock, which were purchased from us at a purchase price of $14.45 per share of common stock, which resulted in net proceeds after offering costs of $58.0 million.
Credit Facility
We have a senior credit facility that was amended and restated on October 3, 2019, which provides for a $355.0 million credit facility comprised of a $150.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the "revolving credit facility") and a $205.0 million senior unsecured term loan facility (the "term loan facility" and, together with the revolving credit facility, the "credit facility"), with a syndicate of banks. We intend to use future borrowings under the credit facility for general corporate purposes, including funding acquisitions, mezzanine lending, development and redevelopment of properties in our portfolio, and for working capital. Our unencumbered borrowing pool supports revolving borrowings of up to $130 million as of December 31, 2021.
The credit facility includes an accordion feature that allows the total commitments to be increased to $700.0 million, subject to certain conditions, including obtaining commitments from any one or more lenders. The revolving credit facility has
54
Table of Contents
a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2024, with two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions, including payment of a 0.075% extension fee at each extension. The term loan facility has a scheduled maturity date of January 24, 2025.
The revolving credit facility bears interest at LIBOR (the London Inter-Bank Offered Rate) plus a margin ranging from 1.30% to 1.85%, and the term loan facility bears interest at LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 1.80%, in each case depending on our total leverage. We are also obligated to pay an unused commitment fee of 15 or 25 basis points on the unused portions of the commitments under the revolving credit facility, depending on the amount of borrowings under the credit facility. As of December 31, 2021, the interest rates on the revolving credit facility and the term loan facility were 1.70% and 1.65%, respectively. If we attain investment grade credit ratings from Standard and Poor's or Moody's Investor Service, we may elect to have borrowings become subject to interest rates based on such credit ratings. In the future, our interest will no longer be calculated based on LIBOR, and the interest to be paid on credit facility borrowings will instead use an alternative benchmark interest rate. The alternative rate we will use will most likely be SOFR, and the exact transition date is yet to be determined.
The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the credit facility, and its obligations under the credit facility are guaranteed by us and certain of its subsidiaries that are not otherwise prohibited from providing such guaranty.
The credit agreement contains customary representations and warranties and financial and other affirmative and negative covenants. Our ability to borrow under the credit facility is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, affirmative covenants and other restrictions, including the following:
•Total leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least up to $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•Ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the credit agreement) to fixed charges of not less than 1.50 to 1.0;
•Tangible net worth of not less than the sum of $567,106,000 and amount equal to 75% of the net equity proceeds received after June 30, 2019;
•Ratio of secured indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 40%;
•Ratio of secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 20%;
•Total unsecured leverage ratio of not more than 60% (or 65% for the two consecutive quarters following any acquisition with a purchase price of at least up to $100.0 million, but only up to two times during the term of the credit facility);
•Unencumbered interest coverage ratio (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than 1.75 to 1.0;
•Maintenance of a minimum of at least 15 unencumbered properties (as defined in the credit agreement) with an unencumbered asset value (as defined in the credit agreement) of not less than $300.0 million at any time;
•Minimum occupancy rate (as defined in the credit agreement) for all unencumbered properties of not less than 80% at any time; and
•Maximum aggregate rental revenue from any single tenant of not more than 30% of rental revenues with respect to all leases of unencumbered properties (as defined in the credit agreement).
The credit agreement limits our ability to pay cash dividends. However, so long as no default or event of default exists, the credit agreement allows us to pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period in an amount not to exceed the greater of: (i) 95% of adjusted funds from operations (as defined in the credit agreement) or (ii) the amount required for us (a) to maintain our status as a REIT and (b) to avoid income or excise tax under the Code. If certain defaults or events of default exist, we may pay cash dividends with respect to any 12-month period to the extent necessary to maintain our status as a REIT. The credit agreement also restricts the amount of capital that we can invest in specific categories of assets, such as unimproved land holdings, development properties, notes receivable, mortgages, mezzanine loans, and unconsolidated affiliates, and restricts the amount of stock and OP units that we may repurchase during the term of the credit facility.
We may, at any time, voluntarily prepay any loan under the credit facility in whole or in part without premium or penalty, except for those portions subject to an interest rate swap agreement.
The credit agreement includes customary events of default, in certain cases subject to customary periods to cure. The occurrence of an event of default, following the applicable cure period, would permit the lenders to, among other things, declare the unpaid principal, accrued and unpaid interest, and all other amounts payable under the credit facility to be immediately due and payable.
On January 7, 2021, we entered into a $15.0 million standby letter of credit using the available capacity under the credit facility to guarantee the funding of our investment in the Harbor Point Parcel 3 joint venture, which is the developer of
55
Table of Contents
T. Rowe Price's new global headquarters. This letter of credit was available for draw down on the revolving credit facility in the event we did not perform. This letter of credit expired on January 4, 2022 and was not required to be renewed.
We are currently in compliance with all covenants under the credit agreement.

Certain loans require us to comply with various financial and other covenants, including the maintenance of minimum debt coverage ratios. As of December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all loan covenants.
In September 2021, the loan covenants for the syndicated loan secured by Wills Wharf were modified to extend the deadline for the Company to meet a lease-up requirement included in the loan agreement from October 1, 2021 to February 1, 2022. At February 1, 2022, it was determined that we did not meet the lease-up requirement stipulated. The covenant requires the property to be 75% leased, and the property was 70% leased as of that date. This was not an event of default but did trigger an appraisal for the property.
As of December 31, 2021, our scheduled principal repayments and maturities during each of the next five years and thereafter were as follows ($ in thousands):

Net cash provided by operating activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 was materially consistent with the year ended December 31, 2020.
Net cash used for investing activities for the year ended December 31, 2021 increased by $31.4 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily due to increased acquisition activity and decreased disposition activity, offset partially by the pay-down of the Solis Apartments note receivable.
Net cash used for financing activities during the year ended December 31, 2021 decreased by $14.6 million compared to the year ended December 31, 2020 primarily as a result of a decrease in debt repayments, partially offset by a decrease in net proceeds from equity issuances and an increase in dividends and distributions paid.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
FFO and Normalized FFO
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit"). Nareit defines FFO as net income (loss) (calculated in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), impairment of real estate assets, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because we believe that FFO is beneficial to investors as a starting point in measuring our operational performance. Specifically, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, which do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year-over-year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO will be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.

Table of Contents
However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the Nareit definition as we do, and, accordingly, our calculation of FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ calculation of FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or service indebtedness. Also, FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.
We also believe that the computation of FFO in accordance with Nareit’s definition includes certain items that are not indicative of the results provided by our operating property portfolio and affect the comparability of our year-over-year performance. Accordingly, management believes that Normalized FFO is a more useful performance measure that excludes certain items, including but not limited to, debt extinguishment losses and prepayment penalties, impairment of intangible assets and liabilities, property acquisition, development and other pursuit costs, mark-to-market adjustments for interest rate derivatives and other instruments, provision for unrealized non-cash credit losses, amortization of right-of-use assets attributable to finance leases, severance related costs, and other non-comparable items.
The following table sets forth a reconciliation of FFO and Normalized FFO for each of the years ended December 31, 2021, 2020 and 2019 to net income, the most directly comparable GAAP measure:

Inflation
Substantially all of our office and retail leases provide for the recovery of increases in real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, substantially all of the leases provide for annual rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases may be offset in part by the contractual rent increases and expense escalations previously described. In addition, our
60
Table of Contents
multifamily leases generally have lease terms ranging from 7 to 15 months with a majority having 12-month lease terms allowing negotiation of rental rates at term end, which we believe reduces our exposure to the effects of inflation, although
an extreme escalation in costs could have a negative impact on our residents and their ability to absorb rent increases.
