EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2024, of Federal Realty Investment Trust and Federal Realty OP, LP. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Federal Realty Investment Trust," the "Parent Company" or the "Trust" mean Federal Realty Investment Trust; and references to "Federal Realty OP LP" or the "Operating Partnership" mean Federal Realty OP LP. The term "the Company," "we," "us," and "our" refer to the Parent Company and its business and operations conducted through its directly and indirectly owned subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership. References to "shares" and "shareholders" refer to the shares and shareholders of the Parent Company and not the limited partnership interests for limited partners of the Operating Partnership.
The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust ("REIT") that owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of, is the sole member of, and exercises exclusive control over Federal Realty GP LLC (the "General Partner"), which is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of March 31, 2024, the Parent Company owned 100% of the outstanding partnership units (the "OP Units") in the Operating Partnership.
The Company believes combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report provides the following benefits:
-
Enhances investors' understanding of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the businesses as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
-
Eliminates duplicate disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation; and
-
Creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
Management operates the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership as one business. Since the Operating Partnership is managed by the Parent Company, and the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations through the Operating Partnership, the management of the Parent Company consists of the same individuals as the management of the Operating Partnership.
We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership operate as a consolidated company. The Parent Company is a REIT, whose only material asset is its direct and indirect interest in the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself other than issuing public equity from time to time. The Parent Company is not expected to incur any material indebtedness. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets and retains the ownership interests in the Company's joint ventures. Except for net proceeds from public equity issuances by the Parent Company, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for OP Units, the Operating Partnership generates all capital required by the Company’s business. Sources of this capital include the Operating Partnership’s operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.
Shareholders' equity, partner capital, and non-controlling interests are the primary areas of difference between the unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital currently includes OP Units owned by the Parent Company, and may in the future include OP Units owned by third parties. OP Units owned by third parties, if any, are accounted for in capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and in non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s financial statements.
The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, while shareholders’ equity and partners' capital differ as discussed above, the assets and liabilities of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.
In order to highlight the differences between the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, there are sections in this report that separately discuss the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements (but combined footnotes), separate controls and procedures sections, and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure for the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the Company.

Federal Realty Investment Trust
Federal Realty OP LP
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2024
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND ORGANIZATION
Federal Realty Investment Trust (the "Parent Company" and the “Trust”) is an equity real estate investment trust (“REIT”). Federal Realty OP LP (the "Operating Partnership") is the entity through which the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations and owns all of its assets. The Parent Company owns 100% of the limited liability company interests of, is sole member of and exercises exclusive control over Federal Realty GP LLC ("the General Partner"), which in turn, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company specializes in the ownership, management, and redevelopment of retail and mixed-use properties through the Operating Partnership, and has no other substantial assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. Our properties are located primarily in communities where we believe retail demand exceeds supply, in strategically selected metropolitan markets in the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast regions of the United States, California, and South Florida. As of March 31, 2024, we owned or had a majority interest in community and neighborhood shopping centers and mixed-use properties which are operated as 102 predominantly retail real estate projects.
We operate in a manner intended to enable the Trust to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes. A REIT that distributes at least 90% of its taxable income to its shareholders each year and meets certain other conditions is not taxed on that portion of its taxable income which is distributed to its shareholders. Therefore, federal income taxes on our taxable income have been and are generally expected to be immaterial. We are obligated to pay state taxes, generally consisting of franchise or gross receipts taxes in certain states. Such state taxes also have not been material.
General Economic Conditions
Heightened levels of inflation and higher interest rates present risks for our business and our tenants. We continue to monitor and address risks related to the general state of the economy. The extent of the future effects on our business, results of operations, cash flows, and growth strategies is highly uncertain and will ultimately depend on future developments, none of which can be predicted.
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Basis of presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and Operating Partnership have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to those rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures made are adequate to make the information not misleading. It is suggested that these financial statements be read in conjunction with the financial statements and notes thereto included in our latest Annual Report on Form 10-K. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal, recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation for the periods presented have been included. The results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
Principles of Consolidation
As discussed in the Explanatory Note, we have combined the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership into this single report. As a result, we present two sets of consolidated financial statements. Both sets of consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the entity, its corporate subsidiaries, and all entities in which it has a controlling interest or has been determined to be the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity. The Parent Company's consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries as the Parent Company, through its ownership and control over the General Partner, exercises exclusive control over the Operating Partnership. The equity interests of other investors are reflected as noncontrolling interests or redeemable noncontrolling interests. All significant intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation. We account for our interests in joint ventures which we do not control using the equity method of accounting.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, referred to as “GAAP,” requires management to make estimates and assumptions that in certain circumstances affect
Table of Contents
the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities, and revenues and expenses. These estimates are prepared using management’s best judgment, after considering past, current and expected events and economic conditions. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Exchangeable Senior Notes
On January 11, 2024, our Operating Partnership issued $485.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in a private placement (see Note 3 for additional information). We account for our Notes in accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options (after the adoption of ASU 2020-06, Debt - Debt and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging - Contracts in Entity's Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Contracts in an Entity's Own Equity ("ASU 2020-06)). The embedded exchange feature is eligible for an exception from derivative accounting because it is indexed to our own stock and meets the equity classification under ASC 815-40; therefore, the exchange feature is not bifurcated. At each reporting period, we calculate the effect of the Notes on our dilutive earnings per common share and per common unit using the if-converted method. In connection with the Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the notes or their affiliates or other financial institutions. Similar to the exchange feature embedded in the Notes, the capped call transactions meet all the conditions for equity classification, and therefore, the related premiums paid are recorded in shareholders' equity for the Trust and capital for the Operating Partnership.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
| Standard | Description | Effect on the financial statements or significant matters | ||||||||||||
| Adopted during 2024: | ||||||||||||||
| ASU 2023-01, March 2023, Leases (Topic 842) Common Control Arrangements | This ASU requires all lessees in a lease with a lessor under common control to (1) amortize leasehold improvements over their useful life to the common control group, as long as the lessee controls the use of the underlying asset through a lease and (2) account for the leasehold improvements as a transfer of assets between entities under common control through an adjustment to equity when the lessee no longer controls the use of the underlying asset. The guidance may be applied prospectively to new and existing leasehold improvements, with the remaining balance of existing leasehold improvements amortized over their remaining useful life to the common control group or retrospectively, through a cumulative-effect adjustment to opening retained earnings. The guidance is effective in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. | We adopted this ASU as of January 1, 2024. The implementation of this ASU did not have an impact on our consolidated financial statements. | ||||||||||||
| Issued in 2023: | ||||||||||||||
| ASU 2023-07, November 2023, Segment Reporting (Topic 280), Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures | This ASU requires public entities to provide disclosures of significant segment expense and other significant segment items, as well as provide in interim period all disclosures about a reportable segment's profit or loss and assets that are currently required annually. Additionally, public entities with a single reportable segment have to provide all of the disclosures required by ASC 280, including the significant segment expense disclosures. The guidance is applied retrospectively to all periods presented in financial statements, unless it is impracticable. The guidance applies to all public entities and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2024. Early adoption is permitted. | While we continue to evaluate the impact of this ASU on our Form 10-K for year ended December 31, 2024, we anticipate providing the disclosures required by ASC 280 for our single reportable segment. | ||||||||||||

NOTE 3—DEBT
On January 11, 2024, our Operating Partnership issued $485.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.25% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2029 (the “Notes”) in a private placement. The notes bear interest at an annual rate of 3.25%, payable semiannually in arrears on January 15th and July 15th of each year, beginning July 15, 2024. The notes mature on January 15, 2029, unless earlier exchanged, purchased or redeemed. Net proceeds after the initial purchaser’s discount and offering costs were approximately $471.6 million. Interest expense related to these Notes for the three months ended March 31, 2024 was $4.1 million, including debt issuance cost amortization.
Prior to the close of business on July 15, 2028, the Notes will be exchangeable at the option of holders only upon certain circumstances and during certain periods. On or after July 15, 2028, until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date of the Notes, holders may exchange their Notes at any time. The Operating Partnership will settle exchanges of the Notes by delivering cash up to the principal amount of the Notes exchanged, and if applicable, cash, common shares of the Trust, or a combination thereof at our option, in respect of the remainder, if any, of the exchange obligation in excess of the principal amount. If we elect to settle any portion of the exchange obligation in excess of the principal amount with shares of the Trust, an equivalent number of common units will be issued by the Operating Partnership to the Trust. The exchange rate initially equals 8.1436 common shares per $1,000 principal amount of the Notes (which is equivalent to an exchange price of approximately $122.80 per common share and reflects an exchange premium of approximately 20% based on the closing price of $102.33 on January 8, 2024). The initial exchange rate is subject to adjustment upon the occurrence of certain events, including in the event of a payment of a quarterly common dividend in excess of $1.09 per share, but will not be adjusted for any accrued and unpaid interest.
The Operating Partnership may redeem the Notes, at its option, in whole or in part, on or after January 20, 2027 if the last reported sales price of the common shares has been at least 130% of the exchange price then in effect for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during any 30 day consecutive trading period (including the last trading day of such period) ending on, and including, the trading day immediately preceding the date on which the Operating Partnership provides notice of redemption. The redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be redeemed, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but excluding, the redemption date.
Table of Contents
In connection with the Notes, we entered into privately negotiated capped call transactions with certain of the initial purchasers of the notes or their affiliates or other financial institutions. The capped call transactions cover, subject to customary adjustments, the number of our common shares that initially underlie the Notes. The capped call transactions are expected generally to reduce the potential dilution to our common shares upon exchange of any Notes and/or offset any cash payments we are required to make in excess of the principal amount of the Notes, with such reduction and/or offset subject to a cap. The cap price of the capped call transaction initially is approximately $143.26 per share, which represents a premium of approximately 40% over the last reported sale price of our common shares of $102.33 on the New York Stock Exchange on January 8, 2024, and is subject to certain adjustments under the terms of the capped call transactions. A portion of the proceeds from the Notes were used to pay the capped call premium of $19.4 million, which is recorded in shareholders' equity for the Trust and capital for the Operating Partnership.
On January 16, 2024, we repaid our $600.0 million 3.95% senior unsecured notes at maturity.
On February 6, 2024, we exercised our first option and extended the maturity date of our $600.0 million unsecured term loan to April 16, 2025, with an additional one year extension at our option still available to further extend the loan to April 16, 2026.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the maximum amount of borrowings outstanding under our $1.25 billion revolving credit facility was $12.5 million. The weighted average amount of borrowings outstanding was $1.9 million, and the weighted average interest rate, before amortization of debt fees, was 6.2% for the three months ended March 31, 2024. At March 31, 2024, our revolving credit facility had $12.5 million outstanding.
Our revolving credit facility, term loan, and certain notes require us to comply with various financial covenants, including the maintenance of minimum shareholders' equity and debt coverage ratios and a maximum ratio of debt to net worth. As of March 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all default related debt covenants.
NOTE 4—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
Except as disclosed below, the carrying amount of our financial instruments approximates their fair value. The fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable and senior notes and debentures is sensitive to fluctuations in interest rates. Quoted market prices (Level 1) were used to estimate the fair value of our marketable senior notes and debentures and discounted cash flow analysis (Level 2) is generally used to estimate the fair value of our mortgages and notes payable. Considerable judgment is necessary to estimate the fair value of financial instruments. The estimates of fair value presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that could be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments. A summary of the carrying amount and fair value of our mortgages payable, notes payable and senior notes and debentures is as follows:

As of March 31, 2024, we have five interest rate swap agreements with total notional amounts of $253.2 million that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. We have two interest rate swap agreements associated with our Hoboken portfolio that fix the interest rate on $53.2 million of mortgage payables at 3.67% through December 15, 2029. We also have three interest rate swap agreements associated with our Bethesda Row property that fix the interest rate on a $200.0 million mortgage payable at a weighted average interest rate of 5.03% through December 28, 2025.
The fair values of the interest rate swap agreements are based on the estimated amounts we would receive or pay to terminate the contracts at the reporting date and are determined using interest rate pricing models and interest rate related observable inputs. The fair value of our swaps at March 31, 2024 was an asset of $7.4 million and is included in "prepaid expenses and other assets" on our consolidated balance sheets. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, the value of our interest rate swaps increased $2.7 million (including $1.1 million reclassified from other comprehensive income as a decrease to interest expense).

One of our equity method investees has two interest rate swaps which qualify for cash flow hedge accounting. For the three months ended March 31, 2024, our share of the change in fair value of the related swaps included in "accumulated other comprehensive income" was an increase of $0.2 million.
NOTE 5—COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
We are sometimes involved in lawsuits, warranty claims, and environmental matters arising in the ordinary course of business. Management makes assumptions and estimates concerning the likelihood and amount of any potential loss relating to these matters.
We are currently a party to various legal proceedings. We accrue a liability for litigation if an unfavorable outcome is probable and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. If an unfavorable outcome is probable and a reasonable estimate of the loss is a range, we accrue the best estimate within the range; however, if no amount within the range is a better estimate than any other amount, the minimum within the range is accrued. Legal fees related to litigation are expensed as incurred. We do not believe that the ultimate outcome of these matters, either individually or in the aggregate, could have a material adverse effect on our financial position or overall trends in results of operations; however, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties. Also under our leases, tenants are typically obligated to indemnify us from and against all liabilities, costs and expenses imposed upon or asserted against us (1) as owner of the properties due to certain matters relating to the operation of the properties by the tenant, and (2) where appropriate, due to certain matters relating to the ownership of the properties prior to their acquisition by us.
Under the terms of certain partnership agreements, the partners have the right to exchange their operating partnership units for cash or common shares, at our option. A total of 631,271 downREIT operating partnership units are outstanding which have a total fair value of approximately $64.5 million, which is calculated by multiplying the outstanding number of downREIT partnership units by our closing stock price on March 31, 2024.

On March 8, 2024, we amended our existing at-the-market ("ATM") equity program under which we may from time to time offer and sell common shares. This amendment reset the aggregate offering price of the program to $500.0 million. Our ATM equity program also allows shares to be sold through forward sales contracts. We intend to use the net proceeds to fund potential acquisition opportunities, fund our development and redevelopment pipeline, repay indebtedness and/or for general corporate purposes.
For the three months ended March 31, 2024, we issued 62,895 common shares (which were sold during 2023 under our previous ATM equity program), at a weighted average price per share of $105.04 for net cash proceeds of $6.4 million including paying $0.1 million in commissions and $0.1 million in additional offering expenses related to the sales of these common shares. There were no sales during the three months ended March 31, 2024 under the amended ATM equity program, and therefore we have the capacity to issue up to $500.0 million in common shares under this program as of March 31, 2024.

NOTE 8—EARNINGS PER SHARE AND UNIT
We have calculated earnings per share (“EPS”) and earnings per unit ("EPU") under the two-class method. The two-class method is an earnings allocation methodology whereby EPS and EPU for each class of common stock and partnership units, respectively, and participating securities is calculated according to dividends or distributions declared and participation rights in undistributed earnings. For both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, we had 0.3 million weighted average unvested shares and units outstanding, which are considered participating securities. Therefore, we have allocated our earnings for basic and diluted EPS and EPU between common shares and units and unvested shares and units; the portion of earnings allocated to the unvested shares and units is reflected as “earnings allocated to unvested shares” or "earnings allocated to unvested units" in the reconciliations below.
The following potentially issuable shares were excluded from the diluted EPS and EPU calculations because their impact is anti-dilutive:
-
exercise of 3,019 and 1,829 stock options for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively,
-
conversions of downREIT operating partnership units for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023,
-
conversions of 5.417% Series 1 Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares and units for both the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and
-
exchange of common shares and units related to the 3.25% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2029 for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Additionally, 10,441 unvested restricted stock units are excluded from the diluted EPS and EPU calculations as the market based performance criteria in the awards has not yet been achieved.
