EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2015 of Brixmor Property Group Inc. and Brixmor Operating Partnership LP. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to the “Parent Company” or “BPG” mean Brixmor Property Group Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to the “Operating Partnership” mean Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms the “Company,” “Brixmor,” “we,” “our” and “us” mean the Parent Company and the Operating Partnership, collectively.

The Parent Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) which owns 100% of the common stock of BPG Subsidiary Inc. (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole owner of Brixmor OP GP LLC, or the General Partner, the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2015, the Parent Company beneficially owned, through its direct and indirect interest in BPG Sub and the General Partner, approximately 98.1% of the outstanding partnership common units of interest (the “OP Units”) in the Operating Partnership. Certain investments funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. and certain current and former members of the Company’s management collectively owned the remaining 1.9% interest 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 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 both the Parent Company and 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 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 does not incur any material indebtedness. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all of our assets. 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 remaining 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 OP Units.

Stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital, and non-controlling interests are the primary areas of difference between the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Parent Company and those of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership’s capital includes OP Units owned by the Parent Company through BPG Sub and the General Partner as well as OP Units owned by certain investments funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. and certain current and former members of the our management. OP Units owned by third parties are accounted for in partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and outside of stockholders’ equity in non-controlling interests in the Parent Company’s 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, separate certification of periodic report under Section 302 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002 and separate certification pursuant to 18 U.S.C Section 1350 as adopted pursuant to Section 906 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. 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.

The Parent Company consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the Parent Company does not have material assets other than its indirect 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 materially the same on their respective financial statements.

BRIXMOR PROPERTY GROUP INC. AND BRIXMOR OPERATING PARTNERSHIP LP

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited, in thousands, unless otherwise stated)

1. Nature of Business and Financial Statement Presentation

Description of Business

Brixmor Property Group Inc. and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Parent Company”) is an internally-managed REIT. Brixmor Operating Partnership LP and subsidiaries (collectively, the “Operating Partnership”) is the entity through which the Parent Company conducts substantially all of its operations and owns substantially all of its assets. The Parent Company owns 100% of the common stock of BPG Subsidiary Inc. (“BPG Sub”), which, in turn, is the sole member of Brixmor OP GP LLC (the “General Partner”), the sole general partner 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 substantial assets or liabilities other than through its investment in the Operating Partnership. The Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (collectively the “Company” or “Brixmor”) owns and operates the largest wholly-owned portfolio of grocery-anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers in the United States.

As of September 30, 2015, the Parent Company beneficially owned, through its direct and indirect interest in BPG Sub and the General Partner, 98.1% of the outstanding partnership common units of interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). Certain investments funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. (together with such affiliated funds, “Blackstone”) and certain members of the Parent Company’s current and former management collectively owned the remaining 1.9% of the outstanding OP Units. Holders of OP Units (other than the Parent Company, BPG Sub and the General Partner) may redeem their OP Units for cash based upon the market value of an equivalent number of shares of the Parent Company’s common stock or, at the Parent Company’s election, exchange their OP Units for shares of the Parent Company’s common stock on a one-for-one basis subject to customary conversion rate adjustments for splits, unit distributions and reclassifications. The number of OP Units in the Operating Partnership beneficially owned by the Parent Company is equivalent to the number of outstanding shares of the Parent Company’s common stock, and the entitlement of all OP Units to quarterly distributions and payments in liquidation is substantially the same as those of the Parent Company’s common stockholders.

The Company does not distinguish its principal business or group its operations on a geographical basis for purposes of measuring performance. Accordingly, the Company believes it has a single reportable segment for disclosure purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”).

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for the fair presentation of the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the periods presented have been included. The operating results for the periods presented are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for a full fiscal year. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2014 and accompanying notes included in the Company's annual report on Form 10-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 19, 2015.

Certain prior period balances in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation for the results of discontinued operations and certain prior period balances in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation for the adoption of Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03,“Interest - Imputation of Interest (Topic 835): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.”

Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include the accounts of the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership, each of their wholly owned subsidiaries and all other entities in which they have a controlling financial interest. The portions of consolidated entities not owned by the Parent Company and the Operating

- 15 -

Partnership are presented as non-controlling interests as of and during the periods presented. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated.

Subsequent Events

In preparing the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company has evaluated events and transactions occurring after September 30, 2015 for recognition or disclosure purposes. Based on this evaluation, there were no subsequent events from September 30, 2015 through the date the financial statements were issued.

Income Taxes

The Parent Company has elected to qualify as a REIT in accordance with the Internal Revenue Code (the “Code”). To qualify as a REIT, the Parent Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement that it currently distribute at least 90% of its adjusted REIT taxable income to its stockholders. It is management’s intention to adhere to these requirements and maintain the Parent Company’s REIT status.

As a REIT, the Parent Company generally will not be subject to federal income tax, provided that distributions to its stockholders equal at least the amount of its REIT taxable income as defined under the Code. If the Parent Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal taxes at regular corporate rates (including any applicable alternative minimum tax) and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years.

The Parent Company does not have any taxable REIT subsidiaries, but may in the future elect to treat newly formed subsidiaries as taxable REIT subsidiaries which would be subject to income tax. Taxable REIT subsidiaries may participate in non-real estate-related activities and/or perform non-customary services for tenants and are subject to United States federal and state income tax at regular corporate tax rates.

The Operating Partnership is organized as a limited partnership and is generally not subject to federal income tax. Accordingly, no provision for federal income taxes has been reflected in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. The Operating Partnership, however, may be subject to certain state and local income taxes or franchise taxes. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company recognized $3.9 million of income related to certain federal and state tax contingencies. These amounts are included in Other on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

The Company has analyzed the tax position taken on income tax returns for the open 2012 through 2014 tax years and has concluded that no provision for income taxes related to uncertain tax positions is required in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements

In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued ASU 2015-03, “Interest - Imputation of Interest (Topic 835): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs.” ASU 2015-03 requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this update. ASU 2015-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 beginning with the period ending June 30, 2015 (see Note 6). The adoption of ASU 2015-03 did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU No. 2014-09 contains a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. The guidance in ASU No. 2014-09 affects any entity that either enters into contracts with customers to transfer goods or services or enters into contracts for the transfer of nonfinancial assets unless those contracts are within the scope of other standards. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. For public entities, ASU No. 2014-09, as amended by ASU No. 2015-14, is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that reporting period. Early application is not permitted. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU No. 2014-09 will have on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

- 16 -

Any other recently issued accounting standards or pronouncements not disclosed above have been excluded as they either are not relevant to the Company, or they are not expected to have a material effect on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company.

2. Acquisition of Real Estate

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company acquired the following properties, in separate transactions (dollars in thousands):



			Purchase Price
Property Name	Location	Month Acquired	Cash		Debt Assumed		Total		GLA
Retail Building at Bardin Place Center	Arlington, TX	Jun-15	$	9,258	$	—	$	9,258	96,127
Larchmont Centre	Mt. Laurel, NJ	Jun-15	11,000		7,000		18,000		103,787
Webster Square Shopping Center	Marshfield, MA	Jun-15	31,950		—		31,950		182,756
			$	52,208	$	7,000	$	59,208	382,670

The purchase price for these acquisitions has been allocated to real estate and related intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, as applicable, in accordance with our accounting policies for business combinations. The aggregate purchase price of the properties acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, has been allocated as follows:



Assets
		Land	$	13,004
		Buildings	35,606
		Building Improvements	4,671
		Tenant Improvements	2,335
		Above Market Rents	95
		In-Place Leases	4,101
	Real estate, net		59,812
	Deferred charges and prepaid expenses, net		1,792
Total assets			$	61,604

Liabilities
		Mortgage payable	$	7,000
		Mortgage Fair Value Adjustment	440
	Debt obligations, net		7,440
	Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities (Below Market Leases)		1,956
Total liabilities			9,396
Net Assets Acquired			$	52,208

In addition the Company acquired the following land parcels adjacent to existing Company owned shopping centers in connection with its repositioning activities at those centers: (i) during the three months ended September 30, 2015, two land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of $6.5 million; (ii) during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, four land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of $8.6 million; and (iii) during the nine months ended September 30, 2014, three land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of $12.3 million.

The real estate operations acquired were not considered material to the Company, individually or in the aggregate, and therefore pro forma financial information is not necessary.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 the Company incurred acquisition related expenses of $1.6 million. These amounts are included in Other on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.

- 17 -

3. Disposals, Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company disposed of four shopping centers and two outparcels for net proceeds of $41.8 million resulting in an aggregate gain of $9.2 million and an aggregate impairment of $0.8 million. The impairment charge was based upon the sales price in the signed contract with the third party buyer, adjusted to reflect associated disposition costs. These inputs are classified as Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

The Company had no properties held for sale as of September 30, 2015.

As a result of adopting ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” there were no discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 as none of the current year disposals represented a strategic shift in the Company’s business that would qualify as discontinued operations. The following table provides a summary of revenues and expenses from properties included in discontinued operations during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014:



	Three Months Ended September 30, 2014			Nine Months Ended September 30, 2014
Discontinued operations:
Revenues	$	123		$	637
Operating expenses	(82		)	(1,571		)
Other income (expense), net	—			5,815
Income from discontinued operating properties	41			4,881
Gain on disposition of operating properties	—			14,426
Income from discontinued operations	$	41		$	19,307

Discontinued operations includes the results of 34 shopping centers disposed of during the year ended December 31, 2014, including 33 shopping centers distributed to Blackstone in connection with the Company's initial public offering ("IPO").

4. Real Estate

The Company’s components of Real estate, net consisted of the following:



	September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Land	$	2,015,176		$	2,000,415
Buildings and improvements:
Building	7,355,922			7,332,073
Building and tenant improvements	652,530			552,351
Other rental property ⁽¹⁾	886,729			917,410
	10,910,357			10,802,249
Accumulated depreciation and amortization ⁽¹⁾	(1,798,676		)	(1,549,234		)
Total	$	9,111,681		$	9,253,015

⁽¹⁾

At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, Other rental property consisted of intangible assets including: (i) $805.7 million and $833.3 million, respectively, of in-place lease value, (ii) $81.1 million and $84.1 million, respectively, of above-market leases, and (iii) $592.7 million and $550.4 million, respectively, of accumulated amortization. These intangible assets are amortized over the term of each related lease.

In addition, at September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had intangible liabilities relating to below-market leases of $515.2 million and $528.7 million, respectively, and accumulated amortization of $230.9 million and $202.7 million, respectively. These intangible liabilities, which are included in Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities in the Company’s unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, are accreted over the term of each related lease, including any renewal periods, with fixed rentals that are considered to be below market.

Amortization expense associated with the above mentioned intangible assets and liabilities recognized for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $10.8 million and $18.1 million, respectively. Amortization expense associated with the above mentioned intangible assets and liabilities recognized for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 was $33.5 million and $58.4 million, respectively. The estimated net amortization expense associated

- 18 -

with the Company’s intangible assets and liabilities for the next five years is as follows:



Year Ended December 31,	Estimated net amortization expense
2015 (remaining three months)	$	9,400
2016	22,995
2017	11,161
2018	5,029
2019	2,908

On a continuous basis, management assesses whether there are any indicators, including property operating performance and general market conditions, that the value of the Company’s assets (including any related amortizable intangible assets or liabilities) may be impaired. To the extent impairment has occurred, the carrying value of the asset would be adjusted to an amount to reflect the estimated fair value of the asset.

5. Financial Instruments - Derivatives and Hedging

The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate agreements or other instruments to manage interest rate risk exposures and not for speculative purposes. In certain situations, the Company may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swap and interest rate cap agreements to manage interest rate risk exposure arising from variable rate debt transactions that result in the receipt or payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. The Company’s objective in using interest rate derivatives is to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company uses interest rate swaps to manage its exposure to changes in benchmark interest rates. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without changing the underlying notional amount. During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not enter into any new interest rate swap agreements.

A detail of the Company’s interest rate derivatives designated as cash flow hedges outstanding as of September 30, 2015 is as follows:



	Number of Instruments	Notional Amount
Interest Rate Swaps	5	$	1,500,000

The Company has elected to present its interest rate derivatives on its unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets on a gross basis as interest rate swap assets and interest rate swap liabilities. A detail of the Company’s fair value of interest rate derivatives on a gross and net basis as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively, is as follows:



	Fair Value of Derivative Instruments
Interest rate swaps classified as:	September 30, 2015			December 31, 2014
Gross derivative assets	$	—		$	—
Gross derivative liabilities	(6,255		)	(4,423		)
Net derivative liability	$	(6,255	)	$	(4,423	)

The gross derivative liabilities are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. All of the Company’s outstanding interest rate swap agreements for the periods presented were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives is determined using market standard 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. These inputs are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated as, and that qualify as, cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (“OCI”)

- 19 -

and is reclassified into earnings as interest expense in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings. The Company estimates that approximately $6.3 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense over the next twelve months. No gain or loss was recognized related to hedge ineffectiveness or to amounts excluded from effectiveness testing on the Company’s cash flow hedges during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Non-Designated (Mark-to Market) Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company did not have any material non-designated hedges.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with its derivative counterparties that contain a provision whereby if the Company defaults on any of its indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender, then the Company could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations. If the Company were to breach any of the contractual provisions of the derivative contracts, it would be required to settle its obligations under the agreements at their termination value including accrued interest, or approximately $7.0 million.

6. Debt Obligations

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had the following indebtedness outstanding:

Total debt obligations, net	$	5,969,336		$	6,022,508


⁽¹⁾	The Company’s mortgages and secured loans are collateralized by certain properties and the equity interests of certain subsidiaries. These properties had a carrying value as of September 30, 2015 of approximately $3.9 billion.


⁽²⁾	The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s fixed rate mortgage and secured loans was 5.93% as of September 30, 2015.


⁽³⁾	The weighted average interest rate on the Company’s unsecured notes was 3.91% as of September 30, 2015.

⁽⁴⁾

The Unsecured Credit Facility (as defined below) consists of a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility and a $1.5 billion term loan facility. The Company has in place five forward starting interest rate swap agreements that convert the floating interest rate on the $1.5 billion term loan facility to a fixed, combined interest rate of 0.844% plus an interest spread of 140 basis points. In February 2015, the Unsecured Credit Facility was amended to terminate the guarantees and release and discharge the Parent Guarantors from their respective obligations under the guarantees.

⁽⁵⁾

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03, which requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Beginning with the period ending June 30, 2015, the Company elected to early adopt ASU 2015-03 and appropriately and retrospectively applied the guidance to its debt obligations for all periods presented. These amounts were previously included in Deferred charges and prepaid expenses, net on the Company’s Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

2015 Debt Transactions

In January 2015, the Operating Partnership issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.850% Senior Notes due 2025 (the “2025 Notes”), the proceeds of which were used to repay outstanding borrowings under its $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility that had been used to repay indebtedness and financial liabilities over the course of 2014. The 2025 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.850% per annum, payable semi-annually on February 1 and August 1 of each year. The 2025 Notes will mature on February 1, 2025. The 2025 Notes are the Operating Partnership’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Operating Partnership may redeem the 2025 Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the applicable make-whole redemption price specified in the Indenture with respect to the 2025 Notes. If the 2025 Notes are redeemed on or after November 1, 2024 (three months prior to the maturity date), the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2025 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

In August 2015, the Operating Partnership issued $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of 3.875% Senior Notes due 2022 (the “2022 Notes”), the proceeds of which were utilized to repay outstanding indebtedness, including borrowings under the Company's $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and $125 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes held at an indirect subsidiary of the Company, Brixmor LLC. The 2022 Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.875% per annum, payable semi-annually on February 15 and August 15 of each year, commencing February 15, 2016. The 2022 Notes will mature on August 15, 2022. The 2022 Notes are the Operating Partnership’s unsecured and unsubordinated obligations and rank equally in right of payment with all of the Operating Partnership’s existing and future senior unsecured and unsubordinated indebtedness. The Operating Partnership may redeem the 2022 Notes at any time in whole or from time to time in part at the applicable make-whole redemption price specified in the Indenture with respect to the 2022 Notes. If the 2022 Notes are redeemed on or after June 15, 2022 (two months prior to the maturity date), the redemption price will be equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 2022 Notes being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid interest thereon to, but not including, the redemption date.

In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company repaid $487.7 million of mortgages and secured loans and $225.0 million of unsecured notes, resulting in a $0.9 million net gain on extinguishment of debt. These repayments were funded primarily from borrowings under the Company’s Unsecured Credit Facility.

Pursuant to the terms of an unsecured $600.0 million term loan (the “Term Loan”), a $2.75 billion senior unsecured credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”), the 2022 Notes and the 2025 Notes, the Company among other things is subject to maintenance of various financial covenants. The Company is currently in compliance with these covenants.

7. Fair Value Disclosures

All financial instruments of the Company are reflected in the accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets at amounts which, in management’s judgment, reasonably approximate their fair values, except those instruments listed below:



	September 30, 2015				December 31, 2014
	Carrying Amounts		Fair Value		Carrying Amounts		Fair Value
	Carrying Amounts		Fair Value		Carrying Amounts		Fair Value
Mortgage and secured loans payable	$	2,658,377	$	2,793,090	$	3,178,841	$	3,337,250
Notes payable	1,203,317		1,209,590		240,300		252,441
Unsecured credit facility and term loan	2,107,642		2,120,000		2,603,367		2,619,475
Total debt obligations	$	5,969,336	$	6,122,680	$	6,022,508	$	6,209,166

As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, a fair value hierarchy is included in GAAP that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs that are classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

The valuation methodology used to estimate the fair value of the Company’s debt obligations is based on discounted cash flows, with assumptions that include credit spreads, loan amounts and debt maturities. The Company determined that the valuations of its debt obligations are classified within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that would be realized upon disposition.

The Company’s marketable securities and interest rate derivatives are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. At September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair values of the marketable securities are based on published values, securities dealers’ estimated market values or comparable market sales and fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. See Note 5 for fair value information on the interest rate derivatives.

The Company’s impairment charges are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. See Note 3 for fair value information on the impairment charges.

8. Equity and Capital

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Parent Company entered into an at-the-market equity offering program ("ATM") through which the Parent Company may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $400.0 million of its common stock through sales agents over a three-year period. There were no shares issued under the ATM for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015. As of September 30, 2015, $400.0 million of common stock remained available for issuance under the ATM.

During the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company declared common stock dividends and OP unit distributions of $0.225 per share and $0.20 per share, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company declared common stock dividends and OP unit distributions of $0.675 per share and $0.60 per share, respectively. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the Company had declared but unpaid common stock dividends and OP unit distributions of $69.7 million and $68.8 million, respectively. These amounts are included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the Company's unaudited Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The non-controlling interests presented in these unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements relate to portions of consolidated subsidiaries held by the non-controlling interest holders.

Certain investments funds affiliated with The Blackstone Group L.P. and certain members of the Company’s management collectively owned 1.91% and 2.54% of the Operating Partnership’s outstanding vested partnership

common units as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, 1.9 million OP Units were converted to an equal number of the Company’s common shares.

9. Stock Based Compensation

In 2011 and 2013 prior to the IPO, certain employees of the Company were granted long-term incentive awards which provided them with equity interests as an incentive to remain in the Company’s service and align executives’ interests with those of the Company’s equity holders. The awards were granted to such employees by the Partnerships, in the form of Class B Units in each of the Partnerships. The awards were granted with service, performance and market conditions. In connection with the IPO, certain of these awards vested and the vested awards were exchanged for a combination of vested common shares of the Company and vested shares of BPG Sub. The remaining unvested Class B Units as of the IPO effective date were exchanged for a combination of unvested restricted common shares of the Company and unvested restricted common shares of BPG Sub, (collectively, the “RSAs”). The RSAs are subject to the same vesting terms as those applicable to the exchanged Class B Units. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the achievement of the performance condition became probable and the Company recognized $9.9 million of equity based compensation expense as a component of General and administrative expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In connection with the IPO, the Board of Directors approved the 2013 Omnibus Incentive Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan provides for a maximum of 15.0 million shares of the Company’s common stock to be issued for qualified and non-qualified options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock and restricted stock units, OP Units in the Operating Partnership, performance awards and other stock-based awards.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and year ended December 31, 2014, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) in the Company to certain employees, or at the election of certain employees, long-term incentive plan units (“LTIP Units”) in the Operating Partnership. The RSUs and LTIP Units are divided into multiple tranches, with each tranche subject to separate performance-based vesting conditions, market-based vesting conditions and service-based vesting conditions. Each award contains a threshold, target, and maximum number of units in respect to each tranche. The number of units actually earned for each tranche is determined based on performance during a specified performance period, and the earned units are then further subject to time-based vesting conditions. The aggregate number of RSUs and LTIP Units granted, assuming that the target level of performance is achieved, was 0.6 million and 0.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and year ended December 31, 2014, respectively, with service periods ranging from one to five years.

The Company recognized $3.8 million and $1.9 million of equity based compensation expense for the three months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The Company recognized $19.3 million and $7.0 million of equity based compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. As of September 30, 2015, the Company had $14.6 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested stock compensation expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 2.3 years.

10. Earnings per Share

Basic earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Company’s common stockholders, including participating securities, by the weighted average number of shares outstanding for the period. Certain restricted shares issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities, as such shares have rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends. Unvested restricted shares are not allocated net losses and/or any excess of dividends declared over net income, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the common stockholders. Fully-diluted EPS reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common stock were exercised or converted into shares of common stock.

11. Earnings per Unit

Basic earnings per unit is calculated by dividing net income attributable to the Operating Partnership’s common units, including participating securities, by the weighted average number of partnership common units outstanding for the period. Certain restricted units issued pursuant to the Company’s share-based compensation program are considered participating securities. Unvested restricted units are not allocated net losses, as such amounts are allocated entirely to the partnership common units.

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

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and the accompanying notes thereto. Historical results and percentage relationships set forth in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and contained in the unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and accompanying notes, including trends which might appear, should not be taken as indicative of future operations.

Executive Summary

Our Company

We operate the largest wholly-owned portfolio of grocery-anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers in the United States. Our high quality national portfolio is diversified by geography, tenancy and retail format, and our shopping centers are primarily anchored by market-leading grocers. The Parent Company has been organized and operated in conformity with the requirements for qualification and taxation as a REIT under the United States federal income tax laws, commencing with our taxable year ended December 31, 2011, and has maintained such requirements for our taxable year ended December 31, 2014, and expects to satisfy such requirements for subsequent taxable years.

Our primary objective is to maximize total returns to the Parent Company’s stockholders through a combination of growth and value-creation at the asset level supported by stable cash flows. We seek to achieve this through ownership of a large, high quality, diversified portfolio of primarily grocery-anchored community and neighborhood shopping centers and by creating meaningful NOI growth from this portfolio. We expect that the major drivers of this growth will be a combination of positive rent spreads from below-market in-place rents and significant near-term lease rollover, occupancy increases across both our anchor and small shop space, annual contractual rent increases across the portfolio and the realization of embedded anchor space repositioning / redevelopment opportunities / outparcel development opportunities.

We expect the following set of core competencies to position us to execute on our growth strategies:


•	Anchor Space Repositioning / Redevelopment / Outparcel Development Expertise - We have been a top redeveloper over the past decade, according to Chain Store Age magazine, having completed anchor space repositioning / redevelopment projects totaling over $1 billion since January 1, 2003.

•

Expansive Retailer Relationships - We believe that given the scale of our asset base and our nationwide footprint, we have a competitive advantage in supporting the growth plans of the nation’s largest retailers.

•	Experienced Management - Senior members of our management team are experienced real estate operators with deep industry expertise and retailer relationships and have an average of 24 years of experience in the real estate industry and an average tenure of 15 years with the Company.

Factors That May Influence our Future Results

We derive our revenues primarily from rents (including percentage rents based on tenants’ sales levels) and expense reimbursements due to us from tenants under existing leases at each of our properties. Expense reimbursements consist of payments made by tenants to us under contractual lease obligations for their proportional share of the property’s operating expenses, insurance and real estate taxes and certain capital expenditures related to maintenance of the properties.

- 27 -

The amount of rental income and expense reimbursements we receive is primarily dependent on our ability to maintain or increase rental rates and on our ability to lease available space, including renewing expiring leases. Factors that could affect our rental income include: (1) changes in national, regional or local economic climates; (2) local conditions, including an oversupply of space in, or a reduction in demand for, properties similar to those in our Portfolio; (3) the attractiveness of properties in our Portfolio to our tenants; (4) the financial stability of tenants, including the ability of tenants to pay rents and expense reimbursements; (5) in the case of percentage rents, our tenants’ sales volumes; (6) competition from other available properties; (7) changes in market rental rates; and (8) changes in the regional demographics of our properties.

Our operating costs include property-related costs, including repairs and maintenance, roof repair, landscaping, parking lot repair, snow removal, utilities, property insurance costs, security, ground rent expense related to ground lease payments for which we are the lessee and various other property related costs. Increases in our operating expenses, to the extent they are not offset by revenue increases, impact our overall performance. For a further discussion of these and other factors that could impact our future results, performance or transactions, see Item 1A. “Risk Factors” in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

Cash flows used in financing activities	$	(274,433	)	$	(257,656	)

Operating Activities

Cash and cash equivalents for the Parent Company were $38.0 million and $92.8 million as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. Cash and cash equivalents for the Operating Partnership were $37.9 million and $92.6 million as of September 30, 2015 and 2014 respectively.

Our net cash flow provided by operating activities primarily consist of cash inflows from tenant rental payments and tenant expense reimbursements and cash outflows for property operating expenses, real estate taxes, general and administrative expenses and interest payments.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s net cash flow provided by operating activities increased $39.6 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. The increase is primarily due to (i) an increase in Same Property NOI, (ii) a decrease in interest expense due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate on outstanding indebtedness, and (iii) an increase in working capital due to an increase in accounts payable accrued expenses and other liabilities due to timing of payments, partially offset by a reduction in cash flows from restricted cash.

Investing Activities

Net cash flow used in investing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and extent of improvements made to our shopping centers, allowances provided to our tenants, and our acquisition and disposition programs. Capital used to fund these activities, and the source thereof, can vary significantly from period to period based on, for example, negotiations with tenants and their willingness to pay higher base rents over the terms of their respective leases as well as the availability of operating cash flows. Net cash flow used in investing activities is also impacted by the level of recurring property capital expenditures in a given period.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Company’s net cash flow used in investing activities increased $25.0 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to (i) an increase of $52.3 million in acquisitions of real estate assets, (ii) a decrease of $5.1 million in restricted cash attributable to investing activities and (iii) a decrease of $6.4 million in proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, partially offset by (iv) an increase of $39.0 million in proceeds from sales of real estate assets.

- 35 -

Improvements to and investments in real estate assets

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, the Company expended $147.4 million and $146.5 million, respectively, on improvements to and investments in real estate assets.

Recurring capital expenditures are costs to maintain properties and their common areas including new roofs and paving of parking lots. Recurring capital expenditures per square foot for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, were $0.18 and $0.23, respectively.

In addition to recurring capital expenditures, we evaluate our Portfolio on an ongoing basis to identify value-creating anchor space repositioning / redevelopment opportunities / outparcel development opportunities. We have intensified our focus on enhancing the quality of our assets and improving the customer experience through a unified organizational effort known as "Raising the Bar." These efforts are tenant-driven and focus on renovating, re-tenanting and repositioning assets and generally present higher risk-adjusted returns than new developments. Such initiatives are focused on upgrading our centers with strong, best-in-class anchors and transforming such properties’ overall merchandise mix and tenant quality. Potential new projects include value-creation opportunities that have been previously identified within the Portfolio, as well as new opportunities created by the lack of meaningful community and neighborhood shopping center development in the United States. We may occasionally seek to acquire non-owned anchor spaces and land parcels at or adjacent to our shopping centers in order to facilitate redevelopment projects. In addition, as we own a vast majority of our anchor spaces greater than 35,000 sq. ft., we have important operational control over the positioning of our shopping centers in the event an anchor ceases to operate and flexibility in working with new and existing anchor tenants as they seek to expand or reposition their stores. Currently, our anchor space repositioning / redevelopments / outparcel developments in our Portfolio relate to 48 projects for which we anticipate incurring approximately $110.6 million in improvements, of which $60.9 million had not yet been incurred as of September 30, 2015.

Acquisitions of and proceeds from sales of real estate assets

Although we expect that the major drivers of our growth will come from our existing Portfolio, we will continue to evaluate the market for available properties and may acquire properties when we believe strategic opportunities exist. We may also dispose of properties when we feel growth has been maximized. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we acquired two properties and a retail building in one of our existing shopping centers and we disposed of four properties and two outparcels.

Financing Activities

Our net cash flow used in financing activities is impacted by the nature, timing and extent of issuances of debt and equity, principal and other payments associated with our outstanding indebtedness and prevailing market conditions associated with each source of capital.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Parent Company’s net cash used in financing activities increased $16.1 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to a $47.0 million net increase in distributions to stockholders and non-controlling interests, partially offset by a $31.0 million decrease in debt repayments, net of borrowings.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Operating Partnership’s net cash used in financing activities increased $16.8 million as compared to the corresponding period in 2014. The increase was primarily due to a $47.6 million increase in distributions to partners and non-controlling interests, partially offset by a $31.0 million decrease in debt repayments, net of borrowings.

Our current capital structure provides us with financial flexibility and capacity to fund our current capital needs as well as future growth opportunities. We have an Unsecured Credit Facility consisting of a $1.5 billion term loan and a $1.25 billion revolving credit facility, with a lending group comprised of top-tier financial institutions under which we had $1.23 billion of undrawn capacity as of September 30, 2015. We believe we have strong access to multiple forms of capital, including unsecured corporate level debt, preferred equity and additional credit facilities. We continue to maintain the investment grade credit ratings from all three major credit rating agencies received during 2014. We intend to continue to enhance our financial and operating flexibility through ongoing commitment to ladder and extend the duration of our debt, and further expand our unencumbered asset pool.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, the Operating Partnership issued $700.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2025 Notes and $500.0 million aggregate principal amount of the 2022 Notes, the proceeds of which were utilized to repay outstanding indebtedness, including borrowings under the Company's $1.25 billion unsecured revolving credit facility and $125 million aggregate principal amount of senior unsecured notes held at an indirect subsidiary of the Company, Brixmor LLC. In addition, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we repaid $487.7 million of mortgages and secured loans and $225.0 million of unsecured notes. These repayments were funded primarily from borrowings under the Company’s Unsecured Credit Facility. During the remainder of 2015, we do not have any mortgage loans and notes scheduled to mature and we have $8.1 million of scheduled mortgage amortization payments. We currently intend to repay the scheduled amortization payments with operating cash.

In connection with our intention to continue to qualify as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we expect to continue paying regular dividends to our stockholders. Our Board of Directors will continue to evaluate the dividend policy on a quarterly basis as the Board of Directors monitors sources of capital and evaluates the impact of the economy and capital markets availability on operating fundamentals. Since cash used to pay dividends reduces amounts available for capital investment, we generally intend to maintain a conservative dividend payout ratio, reserving such amounts as the Board of Directors considers necessary for the expansion and renovation of shopping centers in our portfolio, debt reduction, the acquisition of interests in new properties and other investments as suitable opportunities arise and such other factors as the Board of Directors considers appropriate. Cash dividends paid to common stockholders and OP Unit holders for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $205.8 million and $178.2 million, respectively. Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.225 per common share and OP Unit for the third quarter of 2015. The dividend was paid on October 15, 2015 to shareholders of record on October 5, 2015. Our Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.245 per common share and OP Unit for the fourth quarter of 2015. The dividend is payable on January 15, 2016 to shareholders of record on January 6, 2016.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual debt obligations relate to our notes payable, mortgages and secured loans with maturities ranging from one year to 15 years, and non-cancelable operating leases pertaining to our shopping centers and corporate offices.

The following table summarizes our debt maturities (excluding options and fair market debt adjustments) and obligations under non-cancelable operating leases as of September 30, 2015.

⁽¹⁾	Debt includes scheduled principal amortization and scheduled maturities for mortgages and secured loans, credit facilities and notes payable.

⁽²⁾

We incur variable rate interest on $20.0 million and $600.0 million of debt related to the Unsecured Credit Facility and Term Loan, respectively. The margin associated with Unsecured Credit Facility borrowings is based on a total leverage based grid and ranges from 0.40% to 1.00%, for base rate loans, and 1.40% to 2.00%, for LIBOR rate loans. The margin on the Unsecured Credit Facility was 1.40% as of September 30, 2015. The margin associated with the Term Loan is based on a total leverage based grid and ranges from 0.35% to 0.75%, for base rate loans, and 1.35% to 1.75% for LIBOR rate loans. The margin on the Term Loan was 1.40% as of September 30, 2015.

Same Property Net Operating Income

Same Property NOI is calculated (using properties owned as of the end of both reporting periods and for the entirety of both periods excluding properties classified as discontinued operations), as rental income (minimum rent, percentage rents, tenant recoveries and other property income) less rental operating expenses (property operating expenses, real estate taxes and bad debt expense) of the properties owned by us. Same Property NOI excludes

- 37 -

corporate level income (including transaction and other fees), lease termination income, straight-line rent and amortization of above- and below-market leases of the same property pool from the prior year reporting period to the current year reporting period.

Same Property NOI is a supplemental, non-GAAP financial measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies and is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in understanding business and operating results regarding the underlying economics of our business operations. It includes only the net operating income of properties owned for the full period presented, which eliminates disparities in net income due to the acquisition or disposition of properties during the period presented, and therefore provides a more consistent metric for comparing the performance of properties. Management uses Same Property NOI to review operating results for comparative purposes with respect to previous periods or forecasts, and also to evaluate future prospects. Same Property NOI is not intended to be a performance measure that should be regarded as an alternative to, or more meaningful than, net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) or other GAAP financial measures. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Computation of Same Property NOI may differ in certain respects from the methodology utilized by other REITs and, therefore, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

Funds From Operations

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure utilized to evaluate the operating performance of real estate companies. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income

- 39 -

(loss) in accordance with GAAP excluding (i) gain (loss) on disposition of operating properties, and (ii) extraordinary items, plus (iii) depreciation and amortization of operating properties, (iv) impairment of operating properties and real estate equity investments, and (v) after adjustments for joint ventures calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.

FFO attributable to stockholders and non-controlling interests convertible into common stock is FFO as further adjusted to exclude net income (loss) attributable to non-controlling interests not convertible into common stock. We believe FFO attributable to stockholders and non-controlling interests convertible into common stock is a meaningful supplemental measure that is more reflective of our operating performance by excluding FFO attributable to non-controlling interests not convertible into common stock.

We present FFO and FFO attributable to stockholders and non-controlling interests convertible into common stock as we consider them important supplemental measures of our operating performance and we believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs. FFO and FFO attributable to stockholders and non-controlling interests convertible into common stock should not be considered as alternatives to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as indicators of financial performance and are not alternatives to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as measures of liquidity. Non-GAAP financial measures have limitations as they do not include all items of income and expense that affect operations, and accordingly, should always be considered as supplemental to financial results presented in accordance with GAAP. Computation of FFO and FFO attributable to stockholders and non-controlling

interests convertible into common stock may differ in certain respects from the methodology utilized by other REITs

and, therefore, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures presented by such other REITs. Investors are cautioned that items excluded from FFO and FFO attributable to stockholders and non-controlling interests convertible into common stock are significant components in understanding and addressing financial performance.

Our reconciliation of Brixmor Property Group Inc’s net income to FFO and FFO attributable to stockholders and non-controlling interest convertible into common stock for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 is as follows (in thousands, except per share amounts):

Inflation

The majority of leases contain provisions designed to mitigate the adverse impact of inflation. Such provisions contain clauses enabling us to receive percentage rents, which generally increase as prices rise but may be adversely impacted by tenant sales decreases, and/or escalation clauses which are typically related to increases in the consumer price index or similar inflation indices. In addition, we believe that many of our existing lease rates are below current market levels for comparable space and that upon renewal or re-rental such rates may be increased to be

- 40 -

consistent with, or closer to, current market rates. This belief is based upon an analysis of relevant market conditions, including a comparison of comparable market rental rates, and upon the fact that many of our leases have been in place for a number of years and may not contain escalation clauses sufficient to match the increase in market rental rates over such time. Most of our leases require the tenant to pay its share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, we periodically evaluate our exposure to interest rate fluctuations, and may enter into interest rate protection agreements which mitigate, but do not eliminate, the effect of changes in interest rates on our floating rate loans.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We had no material off-balance sheet arrangements as of September 30, 2015.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
