EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended March 31, 2013 of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Regency Centers Corporation” or the “Parent Company” mean Regency Centers Corporation and its controlled subsidiaries; and references to “Regency Centers, L.P.” or the “Operating Partnership” mean Regency Centers, L.P. and its controlled subsidiaries. The term “the Company” or “Regency” means the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.
The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units (“Units”). As of March 31, 2013, the Parent Company owned approximately 99.8% of the Units in the Operating Partnership and the remaining limited Units are owned by investors. The Parent Company owns all of the Series 6 and 7 Preferred Units of the Operating Partnership. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent Company has exclusive control of the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management.
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 business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;  

eliminates duplicative 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. The management of the Parent Company consists of the same individuals as the management of the Operating Partnership. These individuals are officers of the Parent Company and employees of the Operating Partnership.
The Company believes 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 ownership of partnership interests of the Operating Partnership. As a result, the Parent Company does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, issuing public equity from time to time and guaranteeing certain debt of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company does not hold any indebtedness, but guarantees all of the unsecured public debt and approximately 19% of the secured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds all the assets of the Company 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 partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates all remaining capital required by the Company's business. These sources include the Operating Partnership's operations, its direct or indirect incurrence of indebtedness, and the issuance of partnership units.
Stockholders' equity, partners' capital, and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership's capital includes general and limited common Partnership Units, Series 6 and 7 Preferred Units owned by the Parent Company. The limited partners' units in the Operating Partnership owned by third parties are accounted for in partners' capital in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and outside of stockholders' equity in noncontrolling interests in the Parent Company's financial statements. The Series 6 and 7 Preferred Units owned by the Parent Company are eliminated in consolidation in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and are classified as preferred units of general partner in the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership.
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, 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. 

As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, 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 stockholders' 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.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2013

1.
Organization and Principles of Consolidation
General
Regency Centers Corporation (the “Parent Company”) began its operations as a Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) in 1993 and is the general partner of Regency Centers, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). The Parent Company currently owns approximately 99.8% of the outstanding common Partnership Units of the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company engages in the ownership, management, leasing, acquisition, and development of retail shopping centers through the Operating Partnership, and has no other assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. At March 31, 2013, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the "Company” or “Regency”) directly owned 205 retail shopping centers and held partial interests in an additional 140 retail shopping centers through investments in real estate partnerships (also referred to as joint ventures or co-investment partnerships).
The financial statements reflect all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to a fair statement of the results for the interim period presented. These adjustments are considered to be of a normal recurring nature.
Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
On January 1, 2013, the Company adopted Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2011-11, Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities ("ASU 2011-11") and ASU No. 2013-01, Clarifying the Scope of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities. These new standards retain the existing offsetting models under U.S. GAAP but require new disclosure requirements for derivatives, including bifurcated embedded derivatives, repurchase and reverse repurchase agreements, and securities lending transactions that are either offset in the Consolidated Balance Sheets or subject to an enforceable master netting arrangement or similar agreement. Retrospective application is required. While the Company does have derivatives subject to master netting agreements, it does not have multiple derivatives with the same counterparties to offset, therefore no additional disclosures are necessary.

2.
Real Estate Investments

There were no shopping centers acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2013.

On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into a liquidation agreement with Macquarie Countrywide (US) No. 2, LLC ("CQR") to redeem its 24.95% interest through dissolution of the Macquarie CountryWide-Regency III, LLC (MCWR III) co-investment partnership through a distribution-in-kind ("DIK"). The assets of the partnership were distributed as 100% ownership interests to CQR and Regency after a selection process, as provided for by the agreement. Regency selected one asset, Hilltop Village, which was recorded at the carrying value of the Company's equity investment in MCWR III, net of deferred gain, on the date of dissolution of $7.7 million, including a $7.5 million mortgage assumed.

(1) Represents the date specified in the agreement for either optional or mandatory early termination which will result in cash settlement.
These derivative financial instruments are comprised of interest rate swaps, which are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and currently does not have any derivatives that are not designated as hedges. The derivative instruments are subject to master netting agreements, however the Company does not have multiple derivatives with the same counterparties, therefore none are offset in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet.
The Company has $150.0 million of unsecured long-term debt that matures in 2014 and $350.0 million of unsecured long-term debt that matures in 2015. In order to mitigate the risk of interest rates rising before new unsecured borrowings are obtained, the Company entered into five forward-starting interest rate swaps during December 2012, for the same ten year periods expected for the future borrowings. These swaps total $300.0 million of notional value, as shown above as assets at March 31, 2013. The Company will settle these swaps upon maturity, which is expected to coincide with the date new unsecured borrowings are obtained, and will begin amortizing the gain or loss realized from the swap settlement over the ten year period expected for the new borrowings; resulting in a modified effective interest rate on those borrowings.
The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings as a gain or loss on derivative instruments.

7.    Fair Value Measurements

(a) Disclosure of Fair Value of Financial Instruments

All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management's estimation, reasonably approximates their fair values, except those listed below. The following provides information about the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the Company's financial instruments, including their estimated fair values.
    
Notes Receivable

The fair value of the Company's notes receivable is estimated by calculating the present value of future contractual cash flows discounted at an interest rate available for notes of the same terms and maturities adjusted for customer specific credit risk. The interest rates range from 7.01% to 8.56% at March 31, 2013, based on the Company's estimates. The fair value of notes receivable was determined primarily using Level 3 inputs of the fair value hierarchy, which considered counter-party credit risk and loan to value ratio on the underlying property securing the note receivable. Based on the estimates made by the Company, the fair value of notes receivable was $19.7 million and $23.7 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Notes Payable

The fair value of the Company's notes payable is estimated by discounting future cash flows of each instrument at rates that reflect the current market rates available to the Company for debt of the same terms and maturities. These rates range from 2.3% to 3.0% at March 31, 2013, based on the Company's estimates. Fixed rate loans assumed in connection with real estate acquisitions are recorded in the accompanying consolidated financial statements at fair value at the time the property is acquired including those loans assumed in distribution-in-kind liquidations. The fair value of the notes payable was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Based on the estimates used by the Company, the fair value of notes payable was $2.0 billion at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

Unsecured Credit Facilities

The fair value of the Company's unsecured credit facilities is estimated based on the interest rates currently offered to the Company by financial institutions, which is estimated to be 1.6% at March 31, 2013. The fair value of the credit facilities was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Based on the estimates used by the Company, the fair value of the credit facilities was $145.2 million and $170.2 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

(b) Fair Value Measurements

Internally developed fair value measurements, including the unobservable inputs, are evaluated for reasonableness based on current transactions and experience in the real estate and capital markets. Service providers involved in fair value measurements are evaluated for competency and qualifications on an ongoing basis. The Company's valuation policies and procedures are determined by its Finance Group, which reports to the Chief Financial Officer, and the results of significant fair value measurements are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. The following describes valuation methods for each of our financial instruments required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

Trading Securities Held in Trust

The Company has investments in marketable securities that are classified as trading securities held in trust on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The fair value of the trading securities held in trust was determined using quoted prices in active markets, considered Level 1 inputs of the fair value hierarchy. Changes in the value of trading securities are recorded within net investment (income) loss from deferred compensation plan in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

18

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
March 31, 2013


Derivative Financial Instruments
The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves and implied volatilities. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty's nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads, to evaluate the likelihood of default by the Company and its counterparties. Changes in these credit valuation adjustments are not expected to result in a significant change in the valuation of the Company's derivatives.
The following are fair value measurements recorded on a recurring basis at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively (in thousands):

)

(1) Excludes impairments for properties sold during the year ended December 31, 2012.
Long-lived assets held and used are comprised primarily of real estate. The Company recognized a $54.5 million impairment loss related to two operating properties during the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company determined that it is more likely than not that one of the properties will be sold before the end of its previously estimated useful life, and the other property exhibited weak operating fundamentals, including low economic occupancy for an extended period of time, which led to the impairments. As a result, the Company estimated the fair value of the properties and recorded the impairment losses.
Fair value for those assets measured using Level 3 inputs was determined through the use of an income approach. The income approach estimates an income stream for a property (typically 10 years) and discounts this income plus a reversion (presumed sale) into a present value at a risk adjusted rate. Yield rates and growth assumptions utilized in this approach are derived from market transactions as well as other financial and industry data. The terminal cap rate and discount rate are significant inputs to this valuation. The following are ranges of key inputs used in determining the fair value of real estate measured using Level 3 inputs as of December 31, 2012:

Changes in these inputs could result in a significant change in the valuation of the real estate and a change in the impairment loss recognized during the period.

9.    Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan

The Company maintains a non-qualified deferred compensation plan (“NQDCP”) which allows select employees and directors to defer part or all of their salary, cash bonus, and restricted stock awards. All contributions into the participants' accounts are fully vested upon contribution to the NQDCP and are deposited into a Rabbi trust. The participants' deferred compensation liability is included within accounts payable and other liabilities in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $23.9 million and $22.8 million at March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, respectively.

11.    Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is involved in litigation on a number of matters and is subject to certain claims, which arise in the normal course of business, none of which, in the opinion of management, is expected to have a material adverse effect on the Company's consolidated financial position, results of operations, or liquidity. Legal fees are expensed as incurred.
The Company is also subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to real estate pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks. The Company believes that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on its financial position, liquidity, or operations; however, it can give no assurance that existing environmental studies with respect to the shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental liabilities; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to it; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to the Company.
The Company has the right to issue letters of credit under the Line up to an amount not to exceed $80.0 million, which reduces the credit availability under the Line. The Company also has stand alone letters of credit with other banks. These letters of credit are primarily issued as collateral to facilitate the construction of development projects. As of March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $19.4 million and $20.8 million letters of credit outstanding, respectively. 

12.     Subsequent Events

Pursuant to FASB ASC Topic 855, Subsequent Events, the Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the March 31, 2013 consolidated balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements.

On May 3, 2013, the Company sold a shopping center, Deer Springs Town Center, for a gross sales price of $50.5 million and a net gain of $4.4 million.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

Forward-Looking Statements    

In addition to historical information, the following information contains forward-looking statements as defined under federal securities laws. These forward-looking statements include statements about anticipated changes in our revenues, the size of our development program, earnings per share and unit, returns and portfolio value, and expectations about our liquidity. These statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the real estate industry and markets in which the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively “Regency” or the "Company”, operate, and management's beliefs and assumptions. Forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such statements. Such risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, changes in national and local economic conditions; financial difficulties of tenants; competitive market conditions, including timing and pricing of acquisitions and sales of properties and out-parcels; changes in leasing activity and market rents; timing of development starts; meeting development schedules; our inability to exercise voting control over the co-investment partnerships through which we own or develop many of our properties; consequences of any armed conflict or terrorist attack against the United States; and the ability to obtain governmental approvals. For additional information, see “Risk Factors” included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto of Regency Centers Corporation and Regency Centers, L.P. appearing elsewhere herein. We do not undertake any obligation to release publicly any revisions to such forward-looking statements to reflect events or uncertainties after the date hereof or to reflect the occurrence of uncertain events.

Overview of Our Strategy

Regency Centers Corporation began its operations as a REIT in 1993 and is the managing general partner in Regency Centers, L.P. We endeavor to be the preeminent, best-in-class national shopping center company distinguished by sustaining growth in shareholder value and compounding total shareholder return in excess of our peers. We work to achieve these goals through reliable growth in net operating income from a portfolio of dominant, infill shopping centers, balance sheet strength, value-added development capabilities and an engaged team of talented and dedicated people. All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through the Operating Partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through its investments in real estate partnerships with third parties (also referred to as "co-investment partnerships" or "joint ventures"). The Parent Company currently owns approximately 99.8% of the outstanding common partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

At March 31, 2013, we directly owned 205 shopping centers (the “Consolidated Properties”) located in 24 states representing 22.6 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). Through co-investment partnerships, we own partial ownership interests in 140 shopping centers (the “Unconsolidated Properties”) located in 24 states and the District of Columbia representing 17.4 million square feet of GLA.
We earn revenues and generate cash flow by leasing space in our shopping centers to grocery stores, major retail anchors, restaurants, side-shop retailers, and service providers, as well as ground leasing or selling building pads ("out-parcels") to these same types of tenants. We experience growth in revenues by increasing occupancy and rental rates in our existing shopping centers and by acquiring and developing new shopping centers. At March 31, 2013, the consolidated shopping centers were 93.9% leased, as compared to 92.2% at March 31, 2012 and 94.1% at December 31, 2012.
We monitor the operating performance and rent collections of all tenants in our shopping centers, especially those tenants operating retail formats that are experiencing significant changes in competition, business practice, and store closings in other locations. We also evaluate consumer preferences, shopping behaviors, and demographics to anticipate both challenges and opportunities in the changing retail industry that may affect our tenants.
We grow our shopping center portfolio through acquisitions of operating centers and new shopping center development. We will continue to use our development capabilities, market presence, and anchor relationships to invest in value-added new development and redevelopments of existing centers. Development is customer driven, meaning we generally have an executed lease from the anchor before we start construction. Developments serve the growth needs of our anchors and retailers, resulting in modern shopping centers with long-term anchor leases that produce attractive returns on our invested capital. This development process typically requires two to three years once construction has commenced, but can vary subject to the size and complexity of the project. We fund our acquisition and development activity from various capital sources including property sales, equity offerings, and new debt.

25



Co-investment partnerships provide us with an additional capital source for shopping center acquisitions, as well as the opportunity to earn fees for asset management, property management, and other investing and financing services. As asset manager, we are engaged by our partners to apply similar operating, investment and capital strategies to the portfolios owned by the co-investment partnerships as those applied to the portfolio that we wholly-own. Co-investment partnerships grow their shopping center investments through acquisitions from third parties or direct purchases from us. Although selling properties to co-investment partnerships reduces our direct ownership interest, it provides a source of capital that further strengthens our balance sheet while we continue to share, to the extent of our ownership interest, in the risks and rewards of shopping centers that meet our high quality standards and long-term investment strategy.

We seek to reduce our operating and leasing risks through geographic diversification, avoiding dependence on any single property, market, or tenant, and owning a portion of our shopping centers through co-investment partnerships.

Although base rent is supported by long-term lease contracts, tenants who file bankruptcy may have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases and close related stores. In the event that a tenant with a significant number of leases in our shopping centers files bankruptcy and cancels its leases, we could experience a significant reduction in our revenues. We monitor industry trends and sales data to help us identify declines in retail categories or tenants who might be experiencing financial difficulties as a result of slowing sales, lack of credit, changes in retail formats or increased competition. As a result of our findings, we may reduce new leasing, suspend leasing, or curtail the allowance for the construction of leasehold improvements within a certain retail category or to a specific retailer.

We monitor the financial condition of our tenants. We communicate often with those tenants who have announced store closings or filed bankruptcy. We are not currently aware of the pending bankruptcy or announced store closings of any tenants in our shopping centers that would individually cause a material reduction in our revenues, and no tenant represents more than 5% of our annual base rent on a pro-rata basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our Parent Company has no capital commitments other than its guarantees of the commitments of our Operating Partnership. The Parent Company will from time to time access the capital markets for the purpose of issuing new equity and will simultaneously contribute all of the offering proceeds to the Operating Partnership in exchange for additional partnership units. All debt is issued by our Operating Partnership or by our co-investment partnerships. On March 31, 2013, our cash balance was $22.4 million. We have an $800.0 million Line, which matures in September 2016, that had an outstanding balance of $45.0 million at March 31, 2013 with remaining available borrowings of $735.6 million, net of outstanding letters of credit. As of March 31, 2013, we were authorized to issue $75.6 million in common stock under our ATM equity program.

Net cash provided by operating activities:
Net cash provided by operating activities decreased by $3.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, due primarily to the payout of 2012 incentive compensation, using 2012 excess cash flows from operating activities, that was accrued within accounts payable and other liabilities at December 31, 2012.  We expect our future cash flows from operating activities to be sufficient to fund our distribution requirements.

Our dividend distribution policy is set by our Board of Directors who monitor our financial position. Our Board of Directors recently declared our common stock quarterly dividend of $0.4625 per share, payable on June 5, 2013. Our dividend has remained unchanged since May 2009 and future dividends will be declared at the discretion of our Board of Directors and will be subject to capital requirements and availability. We plan to continue paying an aggregate amount of distributions to our

27



stock and unit holders that, at a minimum, meet the requirements to continue qualifying as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes. We operate our business such that we expect net cash provided by operating activities will provide the necessary funds to pay our distributions to our common and preferred share and unit holders, which were $41.4 million and $41.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.
    
Net cash used in investing activities:
Net cash used in investing activities increased by $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. Significant investing activity during the three months ended March 31, 2013 included:
Receiving proceeds of $4.0 million from the collection of notes receivable, which matured during the quarter;
Receiving distributions of $6.9 million from a co-investment partnership for our pro-rata share of loan proceeds:
Capital expenditures incurred for the development, redevelopment, improvement and leasing of our real estate properties was $30.4 million and $32.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012 (in thousands), respectively, as follows:

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, we acquired one land parcel for $13.7 million, compared to no land parcels acquired during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
The increase in building improvements and other capital expenditures is due to normal ongoing capitalizable improvements to our existing centers.
The decrease in redevelopment costs is primarily due to the timing of our redevelopment projects. Although we had no redevelopment projects start during the three months ended March 31, 2013 or 2012, redevelopment costs were higher in the three months ended March 31, 2012, primarily due to two redevelopments that started towards the end of 2011 and progressed in the first quarter of 2012.
Development costs increased $14.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012. Although we did not have any development projects start in the first quarter of 2013 and had two development projects start in the first quarter of 2012, we incurred substantial development costs on two projects under construction during the three months ended March 31, 2013. East Washington Place and Grand Ridge Plaza are progressing and are projected to have estimated net development costs of $147.6 million upon completion.
Further, the majority of the direct compensation associated with a development or redevelopment project is recorded at project start or soon thereafter. Thus, although overall development costs increased, capitalized direct compensation decreased, since there were no starts in the three months ended March 31, 2013.

At March 31, 2013, we had four development projects that were either under construction or in lease up, compared to seven such development projects at December 31, 2012. The following table details our development projects as of March 31, 2013 (in thousands, except cost per square foot):

There were no development projects completed during the three months ended March 31, 2013.
We plan to continue developing projects for long-term investment purposes and have a staff of employees who directly support our development program. Internal costs attributable to these development activities are capitalized as part of each development project. During the three months ended March 31, 2013, we capitalized $1.1 million of interest expense and approximately $910,000 of internal costs for salaries and related benefits for development and redevelopment activity. Changes in the level of future development activity could adversely impact results of operations by reducing the amount of internal costs for development projects that may be capitalized. A 10% reduction in development activity without a corresponding reduction in the compensation costs directly related to our development activities could result in an additional charge to net income of approximately $912,000.
Net cash used in financing activities:
Net cash used in financing activities increased by $2.3 million. Significant financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2013 include:
The Parent Company issued 995,728 shares of common stock through our ATM program resulting in net proceeds of $51.6 million;
We repaid $25.0 million, net, on our Line; and
We received proceeds of $8.3 million from the issuance of fixed rate, mortgage loan.

We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. At March 31, 2013, 76.3% of our wholly-owned real estate assets were unencumbered. Such assets allow us to access the secured and unsecured debt markets and to maintain significant availability on the Line. Our coverage ratio, including our pro-rata share of our partnerships, was 2.3 times for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012. We define our coverage ratio as earnings before interest, taxes, investment transaction profits net of deal costs, depreciation and amortization (“Core EBITDA”) divided by the sum of the gross interest and scheduled mortgage principal paid to our lenders plus dividends paid to our preferred stockholders.

Through the remainder of 2013, we estimate that we will require approximately $149.7 million to repay $16.4 million of maturing debt (excluding scheduled principal payments), $128.4 million to complete currently in-process developments and redevelopments, and $4.9 million to fund our pro-rata share of estimated capital contributions to our co-investment partnerships for repayment of debt. If we start new development or redevelop additional shopping centers, our cash requirements will increase. At March 31, 2013, our joint ventures had $13.7 million of scheduled secured mortgage loans and credit lines maturing through 2013. To meet our cash requirements, we will utilize cash generated from operations, borrowings from our Line, proceeds from the sale of real estate, and when the capital markets are favorable, proceeds from the sale of common equity and the issuance of debt.

Investments in Real Estate Partnerships

At March 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, we had investments in real estate partnerships of $432.3 million and $442.9 million, respectively.

(2) Pro-rata financial information is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP. However, management believes that providing such information is useful to investors in assessing the impact of its investments in real estate partnership activities on the operations of Regency, which includes such items on a single line presentation under the equity method in its consolidated financial statements.
 
(3) The difference between Regency's share of the net assets of the co-investment partnerships and the Company's investments in real estate partnerships per the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets relates primarily to differences in inside/outside basis.
Investments in real estate partnerships are primarily composed of co-investment partnerships in which we currently invest with five co-investment partners and a closed-end real estate fund (“Regency Retail Partners” or the “Fund”), as further summarized below. In addition to earning our pro-rata share of net income or loss in each of these co-investment partnerships, we receive recurring market-based fees for asset management, property management, and leasing as well as fees for investment and financing services, which were $6.6 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2013 and 2012, respectively.

(1) On March 20, 2013, the Company entered into a liquidation agreement with Macquarie Countrywide (US) No. 2, LLC ("CQR") to redeem its 24.95% interest through dissolution of the Macquarie CountryWide-Regency III, LLC ("MCWR III") co-investment partnership through a distribution-in-kind ("DIK"). The assets of the partnership were distributed as 100% ownership interests to CQR and Regency after a selection process, as provided for by the agreement. Regency selected one asset, Hilltop Village, which was recorded at the carrying value of the Company's equity investment in MCWR III on the date of dissolution of approximately $100.0 thousand, net of liabilities assumed.
 
(2) On April 11, 2013, we announced that, together with our partners, we have elected to sell all of the assets (the “Portfolio”) owned in Regency Retail Partners, LP (the “Fund”). The Portfolio is under contract and once the transaction closes, the Fund will be dissolved. The disposition is expected to occur by the end of the third quarter of 2013.
 
(3) The difference between Regency's share of the net assets of the co-investment partnerships and the Company's investments in real estate partnerships per the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets relates primarily to differences in inside/outside basis.
Notes Payable - Investments in Real Estate Partnerships
At March 31, 2013, our investments in real estate partnerships, excluding BRET, had notes payable of $1.8 billion maturing through 2028, of which 98.7% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 5.5%, and the remaining notes payable had a weighted average variable interest rate of 3.0%, which is based on a spread over LIBOR. These loans are all non-recourse and our pro-rata share was $589.4 million.
As of March 31, 2013, scheduled principal repayments on notes payable held by our investments in real estate partnerships, excluding BRET, were as follows (in thousands):

$7.8 million decrease due to the sale of a 15-property portfolio on July 25, 2012; offset by

$4.1 million increase due to the acquisition of six operating properties and operations beginning at three development properties since March 31, 2012, and

Depreciation and amortization, and operating and maintenance expense decreased $3.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, due to the 15-property portfolio sale discussed above. These decreases were offset by increases from the acquisition of six operating properties and operations beginning at three development properties since March 31, 2012. In addition, general and administrative expense increased primarily due to a $1.7 million decrease in development overhead capitalization recorded during the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, due to the timing of development starts, offset by lower compensation and non-qualified deferred compensation expense. Real estate taxes decreased $1.4 million due to the 15-property portfolio sale, which was offset by increases from current year acquisitions and developments.

(1) At March 31, 2012, our ownership interest in MCWR III was 24.95%. The liquidation of MCWR III was complete effective March 20, 2013.
The increase in our equity in income in investments in real estate partnerships for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012, is primarily due to an approximately $502,000 increase in our share of net operating income for the GRIR investment over the prior year due to the timing of annual percentage rent increases, an approximately $668,000 decrease in our share of interest expense for the GRIR investment over the prior year due to a change in the mix of debt, and the $1.2 million earned on the new ownership interest retained in BRET, as part of the 15-property portfolio sale completed in July 2012.
The following represents the remaining components to determine net income attributable to the common stockholders and unit holders for the three months ended March 31, 2013, as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2012 (in thousands):

Income from discontinued operations of $6.9 million for the three months March 31, 2012 included $6.3 million in gains, net of taxes, from the sale of two operating properties and the operations, of the shopping centers sold.
During the the three months ended March 31, 2012, we sold two out-parcels and received net proceeds of $7.3 million and recognized a gain of $1.8 million, whereas during the three months ended March 31, 2013, we had one out-parcel sale and received net proceeds of approximately $96,000 and recognized no gain.
Preferred stock dividends decreased $8.7 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013, from $13.9 million during the three months ended March 31, 2012 to $5.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2013. The decrease is attributable to the $7.0 million non-cash charge for stock issuance costs recognized upon redemption of the Series 3 and 4 Preferred Stock on March 31, 2012 as well as additional dividends declared on the Series 5 Preferred Stock that was outstanding during the three months ended March 31, 2012 and redeemed during the third quarter of 2012.

34



Related to our Parent Company's results, our net income attributable to common stockholders for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $15.6 million, an increase of $2.4 million as compared to net income of $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012. The higher net income primarily resulted from the decrease in interest expense and increase in our equity in income in investments in real estate partnerships from 2012 to 2013, as discussed above. Our diluted net income per share was $0.17 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to diluted net income per share of $0.14 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.
Related to our Operating Partnership results, our net income attributable to common unit holders for the three months ended March 31, 2013 was $15.6 million, an increase of $2.4 million as compared to net income of $13.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 for the same reasons stated above. Our diluted net income per unit was $0.17 for the three months ended March 31, 2013 as compared to net income per unit of $0.14 for the three months ended March 31, 2012.

Supplemental Earnings Information

We use certain non-GAAP performance measures, in addition to the required GAAP presentations, as we believe these measures are beneficial to us in improving the understanding of the Company's operational results among the investing public. We believe such measures make comparisons of other REITs' operating results to the Company's more meaningful. We continually evaluate the usefulness, relevance, and calculation of our reported non-GAAP performance measures to determine how best to provide relevant information to the public, and thus such reported measures could change.
The following are our definitions of Same Property Net Operating Income ("NOI"), Funds from Operations ("FFO"), and Core FFO, which we believe to be beneficial non-GAAP performance measures used in understanding our operational results:
Ÿ
Same Property NOI includes only the net operating income of comparable operating properties that were owned and operated for the entirety of both periods being compared and excludes all Properties in Development and Non-Same Properties. A Non-Same Property is a property acquired during either period being compared or a development completion that is less than 90% funded or features less than two years of anchor operations. In no event can a development completion be termed a non-same property for more than two years. As such, Same Property NOI assists in eliminating disparities in net income due to the development, acquisition or disposition of properties during the particular period presented, and thus provides a more consistent performance measure for the comparison of our properties.
Ÿ
NOI is calculated as total property revenues (minimum rent, percentage rents, and recoveries from tenants and other income) less direct property operating expenses (operating and maintenance and real estate taxes) from the properties owned by the Company, and excludes corporate-level income (including management, transaction, and other fees), for the entirety of the periods presented.
Ÿ
FFO is a commonly used measure of REIT performance, which the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines as net income, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable property, net of tax, excluding operating real estate impairments, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We compute FFO for all periods presented in accordance with NAREIT's definition. Many companies use different depreciable lives and methods, and real estate values historically fluctuate with market conditions. Since FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from depreciable property dispositions, and impairments, it can provide a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, acquisition and development activities, and financing costs. This provides a perspective of our financial performance not immediately apparent from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. Thus, FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure of our operating performance, which does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and therefore, should not be considered an alternative for cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
Ÿ
Core FFO is an additional performance measure we use as the computation of FFO includes certain non-cash and non-comparable items that affect our period-over-period performance. Core FFO excludes from FFO, but is not limited to, transaction profits, income or expense, gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt and other non-core items. We provide a reconciliation of FFO to Core FFO as shown below.

Environmental Matters
We are subject to numerous environmental laws and regulations as they apply to our shopping centers pertaining to chemicals used by the dry cleaning industry, the existence of asbestos in older shopping centers, and underground petroleum storage tanks. We believe that the tenants who currently operate dry cleaning plants or gas stations do so in accordance with current laws and regulations. Generally, we use all legal means to cause tenants to remove dry cleaning plants from our shopping centers or convert them to more environmentally friendly systems. Where available, we have applied and been accepted into state-sponsored environmental programs. We have a blanket environmental insurance policy for third-party liabilities and remediation costs on shopping centers that currently have no known environmental contamination. We have also placed environmental insurance, where possible, on specific properties with known contamination, in order to mitigate our environmental risk. We monitor the shopping centers containing environmental issues and in certain cases voluntarily remediate the sites. We also have legal obligations to remediate certain sites and we are in the process of doing so. We believe that the ultimate disposition of currently known environmental matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, liquidity, or results of operations; however, we can give no assurance that existing environmental studies on our shopping centers have revealed all potential environmental liabilities; that any previous owner, occupant or tenant did not create any material environmental condition not known to us; that the current environmental condition of the shopping centers will not be affected by tenants and occupants, by the condition of nearby properties, or by unrelated third parties; or that changes in applicable environmental laws and regulations or their interpretation will not result in additional environmental liability to us.

Inflation/Deflation

Inflation has been historically low and has had a minimal impact on the operating performance of our shopping centers; however, inflation may become a greater concern in the future. Substantially all of our long-term leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Most of our leases require tenants to pay their pro-rata share of operating expenses, including common-area maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and utilities, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, many of our leases are for terms of less than ten years, which permits us to seek increased rents upon re-rental at market rates. However, during deflationary periods or periods of economic weakness, minimum rents and percentage rents will decline as the supply of available retail space exceeds demand and consumer spending declines. Occupancy declines resulting from a weak economic period will also likely result in lower recovery rates of our operating expenses.
