11. Segments and Geographic Locations

Our primary business is the ownership, development and management of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, which consist primarily of malls, Premium Outlets, and The Mills.  We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources, assesses performance, and makes decisions.  Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer who is actively involved in all aspects of the portfolio operations.  We have aggregated our consolidated real estate operations, including malls, Premium Outlets, The Mills, and our consolidated international real estate operations into one reportable segment because they have similar economic characteristics and we provide similar products and services to similar types of, and in many cases, the same, tenants.  Revenue earned from these segment operations represents substantially all of lease income reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, all of which is generated from external customers, with the exception of eliminations made to remove our share of lease income earned from tenants in which we have an ownership interest.  The primary financial measure the CODM uses to measure the operating performance of the consolidated real estate operations is net operating income (“NOI”), which is reconciled to consolidated net income below.  The Company believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of operating performance because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of the Company’s properties and because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs providing a relevant basis for comparison among REITs.  Non-segment revenue includes Management Fees and Other revenues, described earlier in Note 3, and the majority of Other income, which primarily includes interest income and miscellaneous activities such as land sales, dividends received from certain investments and other activities as disclosed through these notes to the extent material, as well as eliminations. None of our unconsolidated investments meet the materiality threshold required for separate reporting as a reportable segment, though we have included disclosures related to the activities of these investments in Note 6.  Approximately 96% of total consolidated

assets, with the exception of our investment in Klépierre and other unconsolidated entities and certain other assets, are attributable to our real estate segment. 

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, approximately 6.7% and 6.8%, respectively, of our consolidated long-lived assets were located outside the United States and as of December 31, 2025, 2024, and 2023, approximately 5.3%, 4.4%, and 4.2%, respectively, of our consolidated total revenues were derived from assets located outside the United States.  Substantially all of our capital expenditures reported in the consolidated statements of cash flows relate to our segment operations.  

The following table reconciles our reportable segment to net income:

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.
