Revenues, and Tenant and other Receivables

Leasing Income and Tenant Receivables

The Company leases space to tenants under agreements with varying terms that generally provide for fixed payments of base rent, with stated increases over the term of the lease. Some of the lease agreements contain provisions that provide for additional rents based on tenants' sales volume ("percentage rent"), which are recognized when the tenants achieve the specified targets as defined in their lease agreements. Additionally, most lease agreements contain provisions for reimbursement of the tenants' share of actual real estate taxes and insurance and common area maintenance ("CAM") costs (collectively "Recoverable Costs") incurred.

Lease terms generally range from three to seven years for tenant spaces under 10,000 square feet ("Shop Space") and in excess of five years for spaces greater than 10,000 square feet ("Anchor Space"). Many leases also provide tenants the option to extend their lease beyond the initial term of the lease. If a tenant does not exercise its option or otherwise negotiate to renew, the lease expires and the lease contains an obligation for the tenant to relinquish its space, allowing it to be re-leased to a new tenant. This generally involves some level of cost to prepare the space for re-leasing, which is capitalized and depreciated over the shorter period of the life of the subsequent lease or the useful life of the improvement.

The Company accounts for its leases under ASC Topic 842, Leases ("Topic 842"), as follows:

Classification

Under Topic 842, new leases or modifications thereto must be evaluated against specific classification criteria, which, based on the customary terms of the Company's leases, are classified as operating leases. However, certain longer-term leases (both lessee and lessor leases) may be classified as direct financing or sales type leases, which may result in selling profit and an accelerated pattern of earnings recognition. At December 31, 2025, the Company classified three leases as sales type leases, with all others classified as operating leases.

Recognition and Presentation

Lease income for operating leases with fixed payment terms is recognized on a straight-line basis over the expected term of the lease for all leases for which collectibility is considered probable. CAM is considered a non-lease component of the lease contract under Topic 842. However, as the timing and pattern of providing the CAM service to the tenant is the same as the timing and pattern of the tenant's use of the underlying lease asset, the Company elected, as part of an available practical expedient, to combine CAM with the remaining lease components, along with tenant's reimbursement of real estate taxes and insurance, and recognize them together as Lease income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

For sales type leases, the Company records any selling profit or loss arising from the lease at inception within Gain on sale of real estate, net of tax in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations, as well as any initial direct costs recorded as an expense if, at commencement, the fair value of the underlying asset differs from its carrying amount, otherwise, they are deferred and included in the net investment in the lease. The net investment in the sales-type lease represents the lease receivable, the components of which are the future lease payments and any guaranteed residual value for the underlying assets, as well as any unguaranteed residual asset expected at the end of the lease term, each measured at net present value discounted using a rate implicit in the lease. Interest income is recorded within Lease income in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations over the lease term so as to produce a constant periodic rate of return on the Company’s net investment in the leases. At the commencement date, the Company derecognizes the carrying amount of the underlying asset. When measuring the net investment in a long-term ground lease, the undiscounted residual value of the land will be limited to its fair value at commencement which will likely equate to its cost.

Collectibility

At lease commencement, the Company generally expects that collectibility of substantially all payments due under the lease is probable due to the Company's credit checks on tenants and other creditworthiness analysis undertaken before entering into a new lease; therefore, income from most operating leases is initially recognized on a straight-line basis. For operating leases in which collectibility of Lease income is not considered probable, Lease income is recognized on a cash basis and all previously recognized straight-line rent receivables are reversed in the period in which the Lease income is determined not to be probable of collection. Should collectibility of Lease income become probable again, through evaluation of qualitative and quantitative measures on a tenant by tenant basis, accrual basis accounting resumes and all commencement-to-date straight-line rent is recognized in that period.

In addition to the lease-specific collectibility assessment performed under Topic 842, the Company may also recognize a general reserve, as a reduction to Lease income, for its portfolio of operating lease receivables which are not expected to be fully collectible based on the Company's historical collection experience. The Company estimates the collectibility of the accounts receivable related to base rents, straight-line rents, recoveries from tenants, and other revenue taking into consideration the Company's historical write-off experience, tenant credit-worthiness, current economic trends, and remaining lease terms. Uncollectible lease income is a direct charge against Lease income. Although we estimate uncollectible receivables and provide for them through charges against income, actual experience may differ from those estimates.

Other Property Income and Management Services

The Company recognizes revenue under ASC Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers ("Topic 606"), when or as control of the promised services are transferred to its customers, in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to be entitled to in exchange for those services. The following is a description of the Company's revenue from contracts with customers within the scope of Topic 606.

Other Property Income

Other property income includes parking fees and other incidental income from the properties and is generally recognized at the point in time that the performance obligation is met.

Management, Transaction, and other fees

Property and Asset Management Services

The Company is engaged under agreements with its joint venture partnerships, which are generally perpetual in nature and cancellable through unanimous partner approval, absent an event of default and, in certain cases, specified intentional misconduct. Under these agreements, the Company is to provide asset and property management and leasing services for the joint ventures' shopping centers. The fees are market-based, generally calculated as a percentage of either revenues earned or the estimated values of the properties managed or the proceeds received, and are recognized over the monthly or quarterly periods as services are rendered. Property management and asset management services represent a series of distinct daily services. Accordingly, the Company satisfies its performance obligation as service is rendered each day and the variability associated with that compensation is resolved each day. Amounts due from the partnerships for such services are paid during the month following the monthly or quarterly service periods.

Several of the Company's joint venture partnership agreements provide for incentive payments, generally referred to as "promotes" or "earnouts," to Regency for appreciation in property values while Regency is managing member of the partnership. The terms of these promotes are based on appreciation in real estate value over designated time intervals or upon designated events. The Company evaluates its expected promote payout at each reporting period, which generally does not result in revenue recognition until the measurement period has completed, when the amount can be reasonably determined and the amount is not probable of significant reversal.

Leasing Services

Leasing service fees are based on a percentage of the total rent due under the lease. The leasing service is considered performed upon successful execution of an acceptable tenant lease for the joint ventures' shopping centers, at which time revenue is recognized. Payment of the first half of the fee is generally due upon lease execution and the second half is generally due upon tenant opening or the commencement of rent payments.

Transaction Services

The Company also receives transaction fees, as contractually agreed upon with in each joint venture, which include acquisition fees, disposition fees, and financing service fees. Control of these services is generally transferred at the time the related transaction closes, which is the point in time when the Company recognizes the related fee revenue. Any unpaid amounts related to transaction-based fees are included in Tenant and other receivables within the Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Income within Management, transaction, and other fees is primarily derived from contracts with the Company's unconsolidated real estate partnerships. The primary components of these revenue streams, the timing of satisfying the performance obligations, and amounts are as follows:

Real Estate Sales

The Company accounts for sales of nonfinancial assets under ASC Subtopic 610-20, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets, whereby the Company derecognizes real estate and recognizes a gain or loss on sales when a contract exists and control of the property has transferred to the buyer. Control of the property, including controlling financial interest, is generally considered to transfer upon closing through transfer of the legal title and possession of the property. While generally rare, any retained noncontrolling interest is measured at fair value at that time.

About Revenue Disclosures

Revenue disclosures under ASC 606 explain how a company identifies performance obligations, allocates transaction prices, and determines when revenue is recognized. This section is essential for understanding whether reported revenue reflects genuine economic activity or aggressive accounting choices. Analysts examine the mix of point-in-time versus over-time recognition, which directly affects revenue timing and comparability.

Key signals: rising contract liabilities (deferred revenue) suggest strong future revenue visibility, while declining contract assets may indicate slowing project milestones. Watch for variable consideration estimates — rebates, returns, and performance bonuses that require management judgment. Significant changes in disaggregated revenue by geography or product line can reveal shifting business mix before it appears in headline numbers. Compare revenue growth against contract liability growth to assess sustainability, and scrutinize any changes in the timing of recognition that coincide with earnings pressure.
