17. REPORTABLE SEGMENTS
Our principal business is the ownership and operation of community and neighborhood shopping centers. We conduct our operations solely in the United States, and we do not distinguish our principal business, or group our operations, by geography or size for the purpose of measuring performance. We concluded that we have only one operating and reportable segment, Real Estate Properties. Our conclusion was determined on the basis of the way in which our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) regularly reviews internally reported financial information to analyze financial performance, make decisions, and allocate resources at the consolidated level.
Our Real Estate Properties segment derives a majority of its revenue from the lease contracts it enters into as a lessor, which are all in the form of operating leases. Further, our lease contracts typically provide for reimbursements from tenants for common area maintenance, insurance, and real estate tax expense. No single tenant comprised 10% or more of our aggregate ABR for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023. For a detailed discussion of the accounting policies related to our lease revenue, see Note 2.
Our CODM is Mr. Edison, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. Our CODM assesses performance, makes decisions, and allocates operating and capital resources of the Real Estate Properties segment by utilizing net income (loss) on a consolidated basis. Our CODM evaluates net income (loss) by monitoring budget versus actual as well as variance analysis to prior periods to analyze the performance of the segment. Information about the net income (loss) of the Real Estate Properties segment that is regularly reviewed by our CODM, including revenue and significant expenses, was as follows for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023 (in thousands):

(2)Other general and administrative expenses is primarily made up of professional fees, technology and communication expense, and insurance, taxes, and board costs.
(3)Interest income is not a significant component of Interest Expense, Net.

About Segments Disclosures

Segment disclosures break a company into its reportable operating units, revealing revenue, profit, and asset allocation that consolidated financial statements obscure. Under ASC 280, segments must match how the chief operating decision maker views the business, providing a window into internal management structure and resource allocation priorities.

Key signals: compare segment margins to identify which units drive profitability and which destroy value. Watch for changes in the number of reportable segments — segment aggregation or disaggregation often coincides with strategic shifts or attempts to obscure declining performance. Intersegment elimination patterns reveal internal pricing practices. The reconciliation between segment totals and consolidated figures exposes corporate overhead allocation and unallocated items. Geographic revenue concentration highlights regulatory and currency exposure. Compare segment-level capital expenditure against segment revenue to assess where management is investing for future growth versus harvesting existing assets.
