EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended September 30, 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 September 30, 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 16% 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, and 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
September 30, 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. As of September 30, 2013, the Parent Company, the Operating Partnership and their controlled subsidiaries on a consolidated basis (the "Company” or “Regency”) directly owned 202 retail shopping centers and held partial interests in an additional 131 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 periods 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 master netting agreements, it does not have multiple derivatives with the same counterparties subject to a single master netting agreement to offset, therefore no additional disclosures are necessary.

In addition, 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 partnership 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 $7.6 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 all 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 Company has master netting agreements, however the Company does not have multiple derivatives subject to a single master netting agreement 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. The Company will settle these swaps upon the early termination date, which is expected to coincide with the date new unsecured borrowings are obtained, and will begin amortizing the gain or loss realized from the

18

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

swap settlement over the ten year period expected for the new borrowings; resulting in a modified effective interest rate on those borrowings. In October 2013, the Company entered into two additional forward-starting interest rate swaps for $95.0 million of notional value at a combined fixed rate of 2.867% for a ten year period effective April 15, 2014, to hedge potential changes in the ten-year LIBOR rate covering the expected borrowing term between now and the expected date that new unsecured borrowings are obtained in 2014.
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 within interest expense.

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 approximate their fair values, except for the following as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 (in thousands):

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

be paid to transfer those liabilities in an orderly transaction between market participants as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012. These fair value measurements maximize the use of observable inputs. However, in situations where there is little, if any, market activity for the asset or liability at the measurement date, the fair value measurement reflects the Company's own judgments about the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability.

The Company develops its judgments based on the best information available at the measurement date, including expected cash flows, appropriately risk-adjusted discount rates, and available observable and unobservable inputs. 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 material fair value measurements are discussed with the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors on a quarterly basis. As considerable judgment is often necessary to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments, the fair values presented above are not necessarily indicative of amounts that will be realized upon disposition of the financial instruments.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of these financial instruments:

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 interest rates available for notes of the same terms and maturities, adjusted for counter-party specific credit risk. 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.

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. 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. The fair value of the notes payable was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

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. The fair value of the credit facilities was determined using Level 2 inputs of the fair value hierarchy.

As of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012 the following interest rates were used by the Company to estimate the fair value of its financial instruments:

(b) Fair Value Measurements

The following financial instruments are 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.

20

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2013


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.

Interest Rate Derivatives
The fair value of the Company's interest rate derivatives 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. The Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its interest rate swaps. As a result, the Company determined that its interest rate swaps valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

(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. During the three months ended September 30, 2013, the Company recognized a $6.0 million impairment on a single operating property as a result of an unoccupied anchor declaring bankruptcy, and the inability of the Company, thus far, to re-lease the anchor space.
The Company recognized a $54.5 million impairment loss related to two operating properties during the year ended December 31, 2012. The majority of this impairment, $50.0 million, related to one operating property, which the Company determined was more likely than not to be sold before the end of its previously estimated hold period, which led to the impairment during the fourth quarter of 2012. The Company subsequently sold this property in May of 2013. The other operating property exhibited weak operating fundamentals, including low economic occupancy for an extended period of time, which led to a $4.5 million impairment during the second quarter of 2012. The Company subsequently sold this property in June of 2013.
Fair value for the long-lived assets held and used 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 property specific information, market transactions, and other financial and industry data. The terminal cap rate and discount rate are significant inputs to this valuation. The following are the key inputs used in determining the fair value of real estate measured using Level 3 inputs as of September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012:
 
 
2013
 
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.

8.    Equity and Capital

Common Stock of the Parent Company

Issuances:

In August 2012, the Parent Company entered into at the market ("ATM") equity distribution agreements through which it is permitted to offer and sell its common stock from time to time. Net proceeds would fund potential acquisition opportunities, development and redevelopment activities, repay amounts outstanding under the credit facilities and for general corporate purposes. Approximately $121.8 million of common stock was offered and sold through this ATM equity program.

In August 2013, the Parent Company filed a prospectus supplement with respect to a new ATM equity offering program, which ended the prior program established in August 2012. The August 2013 program has similar terms and conditions as the August 2012 program, and authorizes the Parent Company to sell up to $200.0 million of common stock. As of September 30, 2013, $198.4 million in common stock remained available for issuance under this ATM equity program.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013, the following shares were issued under the ATM equity programs (in thousands, except price per share data):

Income allocated to noncontrolling interests of the Operating Partnership has been excluded from the numerator and exchangeable Operating Partnership units have been omitted from the denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share since the effect of including these amounts in the numerator and denominator would have no impact. Weighted average exchangeable Operating Partnership units outstanding for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2013 were 167,649 and 173,946, respectively, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 were 177,164.

REGENCY CENTERS CORPORATION AND REGENCY CENTERS, L.P.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2013


12.    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 September 30, 2013 and December 31, 2012, the Company had $19.3 million and $20.8 million letters of credit outstanding, respectively. 

13.     Subsequent Events

The Company evaluated subsequent events and transactions that occurred after the September 30, 2013 consolidated balance sheet date for potential recognition or disclosure in its consolidated financial statements.

On October 23, 2013, the Company sold 100% of its interest in the BRET unconsolidated real estate partnership and received a capital distribution of $47.5 million, its share of the undistributed income of the partnership, and a redemption premium. Regency no longer has any interest in the BRET partnership.

In October 2013, the Company entered into two additional forward-starting interest rate swaps for $95.0 million of notional value at a combined fixed rate of 2.867% for a ten year period effective April 15, 2014, to hedge potential changes in the ten-year LIBOR rate covering the expected borrowing term between now and the expected date that new unsecured borrowings are obtained in 2014.

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 and redevelopment 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 Company operates, 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 building pads ("out-parcels"); changes in leasing activity and market rents; timing of development starts; meeting development schedules; natural disasters in geographic areas in which we operate; cost of environmental remediation; our inability to exercise voting control over the co-investment partnerships through which we own many of our properties; and technology disruptions. 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 of Regency Centers, L.P. We endeavor to be the preeminent, best-in-class national shopping center company, distinguished by total shareholder return and per share growth in Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO) and Net Asset Value (NAV) that positions Regency as a leader among its peers. We work to achieve these goals through:
reliable growth in net operating income from a high-quality, growing portfolio of thriving, primarily grocery-anchored shopping centers,
disciplined value-add development and redevelopment capabilities profitably creating and enhancing high-quality shopping centers,
a conservative balance sheet and track record of cost effectively accessing capital to withstand market volatility and efficiently fund investments, and
an engaged and talented team of people guided by Regency's culture.

All of our operating, investing, and financing activities are performed through the Operating Partnership, its wholly-owned subsidiaries, and through its co-investment partnerships. The Parent Company currently owns approximately 99.8% of the outstanding common partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

At September 30, 2013, we directly owned 202 shopping centers (the “Consolidated Properties”) located in 23 states representing 22.5 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”). Through co-investment partnerships, we own partial ownership interests in 131 shopping centers (the “Unconsolidated Properties”) located in 23 states and the District of Columbia representing 15.8 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 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 September 30, 2013, the consolidated shopping centers were 94.4% leased, as compared to 94.0% at September 30, 2012 and 94.1% at December 31, 2012.

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 developments 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.


28



Co-investment partnerships provide us with an additional capital source for shopping center acquisitions, developments, and redevelopments, as well as the opportunity to earn fees for asset management, property management, and other investing and financing services. As an 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, direct purchases from us, and developments. 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. The following table summarizes our three most significant tenants, each of which is a grocery tenant, occupying our shopping centers at September 30, 2013:

In July 2013, The Kroger Co. ("Kroger") announced its plan to buy Harris Teeter Supermarkets, Inc. Although Kroger's acquisition is expected to expand its presence in the southeastern United States, there is a possibility that Kroger may

30



identify stores in which it has a presence in the same local market as Harris Teeter, which could result in store closures. We currently have nine stores leased by Harris Teeter, which represents 0.7% of annualized base rent on a pro-rata basis.

On October 10, 2013, Safeway Inc. announced that it intends to exit the Chicago market, where it operates 72 Dominick's stores, by early 2014. Safeway is marketing the chain for sale or individual store sublease.  We have 7 store leases with Dominick’s, which represent less than 1% of company owned GLA and less than 0.5% of annualized base rent, on a pro-rata basis.  It is uncertain at this time whether the Dominick's stores at our shopping centers will be sold, subleased, or closed.        

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 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. 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 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.

Net cash provided by operating activities:

Cash provided by operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 was $4.5 million more than the nine months ended September 30, 2012 primarily due to improved net operating income and timing of cash payments. 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 included in net cash used in financing activities, above, which were $141.6 million and $137.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 and 2012, respectively. Our dividend

31



distribution policy is set by our Board of Directors who monitor our financial position. Our Board of Directors declared common stock quarterly dividend of $0.4625 per share, payable on November 27, 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 stock and unit holders that, at a minimum, meet the requirements to continue qualifying as a REIT for Federal income tax purposes.

Net cash used in investing activities:

Cash flows from investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 changed by $145.8 million compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012 due to the proceeds from the portfolio sale completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Significant investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included:

We received proceeds of $137.0 million from the sale of real estate investments, including eight shopping centers and five out-parcels;

We received distributions from our investments in real estate partnerships of $31.5 million, primarily related to the disposition of all operating properties within the Regency Retail Partners, LP (the "Fund") during August 2013 and subsequent distribution of proceeds, offset by additional investments of $10.8 million for mortgage maturities and acquisitions;

We paid $26.7 million for the acquisition of the Preston Oaks shopping center; and

We paid $162.4 million for the development, redevelopment, improvement and leasing of our real estate properties as comprised of the following (in thousands):

During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we acquired five land parcels for $27.1 million, compared to three land parcels for approximately $17.4 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

As occupancy stabilizes, there is less vacant space to lease, which reduces our cash outflow on tenant allowances, which are generally highest with new leases. Occupancy increased 30 basis points during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, compared to 100 basis point increase during the nine months ended September 30, 2012, which resulted in the decrease in tenant allowances over the prior year.

Although the number of development projects remained relatively consistent during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, development costs increased primarily due to the size of the current projects under construction during the nine months ended September 30, 2013. East Washington Place and Grand Ridge Plaza, which are projected to have estimated net development costs of $146.9 million upon completion, are progressing and represent $67.2 million of 2013 development costs.

Capitalized interest increases as development costs accumulate during the construction period, which is why more interest costs were capitalized during 2013 than 2012.

At September 30, 2013, we had seven development projects that were either under construction or in lease up, compared to four such development projects at December 31, 2012. The following table details our development projects as of September 30, 2013 (in thousands, except cost per square foot):

There were no development projects completed during the nine months ended September 30, 2013.

We plan to continue developing and redeveloping projects for long-term investment purposes and have a staff of employees who directly support our development and redevelopment program. Internal costs attributable to these development and redevelopment activities are capitalized as part of each project. During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we capitalized $4.2 million of interest expense and $5.5 million of internal costs for salaries and related benefits for development and redevelopment activity. Changes in the level of future development and redevelopment activity could adversely impact results of operations by reducing the amount of internal costs for development and redevelopment projects that may be capitalized. A 10% reduction in development and redevelopment activity without a corresponding reduction in the compensation costs directly related to our development and redevelopment activities could result in an additional charge to net income of approximately $824,000.

Net cash used in financing activities:

Significant financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2013 include:

The Parent Company issued 1.9 million shares of common stock through our ATM program resulting in net proceeds of $99.8 million;

We repaid $70.0 million, net, on our Line and $16.4 million of mortgage loans; and

We paid dividends to our common and preferred stockholders of $125.5 million and $15.8 million, respectively.

We endeavor to maintain a high percentage of unencumbered assets. At September 30, 2013, 77.2% 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 2.4 times for the nine months ended September 30, 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 2014, we estimate that we will require approximately $312.1 million, including $143.1 million to complete currently in-process developments and redevelopments, $167.8 million to repay maturing debt, and $1.2 million to fund our pro-rata share of estimated capital contributions to our co-investment partnerships for repayment of debt. If we start new developments or redevelop additional shopping centers, our cash requirements will increase. At September 30, 2013, we and our joint ventures had $176.1 million and $67.1 million, respectively, of debt maturing through 2014. To meet our cash requirements, we will refinance maturing mortgages, 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.

We have $150.0 million and $350.0 million of fixed rate, unsecured debt maturing in April 2014 and August 2015, respectively.  As the economy improves, long term interest rates will likely continue to increase.  In order to mitigate the risk of interest rate volatility, in December 2012, we entered into $300.0 million of forward starting interest rate swaps for new debt issues occurring through August 1, 2016.  These interest rate swaps locked in a weighted average fixed rate of 2.32% plus a credit spread based upon the Company's credit rating at the time of the debt issuance. In October 2013, we entered into two additional forward-starting interest rate swaps for $95.0 million of notional value at a combined fixed rate of 2.867% for a ten year period effective April 15, 2014, to hedge potential changes in the ten-year LIBOR rate covering the expected borrowing term between now and the expected date that new unsecured borrowings are obtained in 2014.

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 $5.6 million and $6.3 million, and $18.6 million and $19.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 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 $100,000, net of liabilities assumed.

(2) On August 13, 2013, Regency Retail Partners, LP (the Fund) sold 100% of its interest in its entire portfolio of shopping centers to a third party. The Fund will be dissolved following the final distribution of proceeds.

(3) On October 23, 2013, the Company sold 100% of its interest in the BRET unconsolidated real estate partnership and received a capital distribution of $47.5 million, its share of the undistributed income of the partnership, and a redemption premium. Regency no longer has any interest in the BRET partnership.

(4) 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, as shown above.

Notes Payable - Investments in Real Estate Partnerships

At September 30, 2013, our investments in real estate partnerships, excluding BRET, had notes payable of $1.5 billion maturing through 2028, of which 98.4% had a weighted average fixed interest rate of 5.5%, and the remaining notes payable float over LIBOR and had a weighted average variable interest rate of 2.9%.

Results from Operations

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2013 to 2012:

Minimum rent increased during 2013 as compared to 2012 due to acquisitions, dispositions, and changes in overall occupancy and average base rent for our same properties, as follows:

$2.1 million decrease due to the sale of a 15-property portfolio on July 25, 2012; offset by

$6.1 million increase due to the acquisitions of operating properties and operations beginning at development properties during 2012 and 2013; and

$1.8 million increase in minimum rent from same properties, which was driven by rental rate and occupancy growth and increases from contractual rent steps in existing leases.

Recoveries from tenants and other income represent reimbursements from tenants for their pro-rata share of the operating, maintenance, and real estate tax expenses that we incur to operate our shopping centers, as well as other income earned at our operating properties. Recoveries from tenants increased during 2013 as compared to 2012 due to the following:

Approximately $678,000 decrease due to the sale of a 15-property portfolio on July 25, 2012; offset by

$1.4 million increase due to the acquisition of operating properties and operations beginning at development properties during 2012 and 2013; and

Approximately $549,000 increase in recoveries at same properties, which was driven by an increase in recoverable costs and an increase in our recovery ratio, due to improvements in occupancy and market recovery rates.

Leasing commissions and other fees decreased during the three months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2012, due to the decrease in leasing activity performed for co-investment partnerships and third parties during 2013, driven by leasing volume, as occupancy levels stabilize and less vacant GLA is available to be leased.

Depreciation and amortization, operating and maintenance expenses, and real estate taxes increased due to the impact of dispositions, acquisitions and development operations, and same property operating costs, as follows:

Approximately $822,000 decrease due to the sale of a 15-property portfolio on July 25, 2012; offset by

$5.1 million increase due to the acquisition of operating properties and operations beginning at development properties during 2012 and 2013, and

$2.3 million increase at same properties, primarily due to additional depreciation resulting from capital improvements to our existing centers and increased operating and maintenance costs primarily associated with landscaping and irrigation.

In addition, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to lower amounts of incentive compensation expense during 2013, as compared to 2012. Other expenses decreased due to lower bad debt expense offset by additional acquisition costs during 2013.

(1) As of June 30, 2012, our ownership interest in MCWR III was 24.95%. The liquidation of MCWR III was complete effective March 20, 2013.
(2) On August 13, 2013, Regency Retail Partners, LP (the "Fund") sold 100% of its interest in its entire portfolio of shopping centers to a third party. The Fund will be dissolved following the final distribution of proceeds.

Regency no longer has any interest in the BRET partnership.


    
The $7.9 million increase in our equity in income in investments in real estate partnerships for 2013, as compared to 2012, is primarily due to recognizing $7.4 million of pro-rata gain on the sale of all operating properties within the Fund in August 2013.

Income from discontinued operations of $16.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2013 includes $16.1 million of gains, net of taxes, from the sale of four operating properties, their operating income, and the operating income of one operating property held for sale at September 30, 2013. Income from discontinued operations of $1.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2012 includes the operating income of operating properties sold or held for sale during 2013 and 2012, along with $4.5 million of impairment losses.

Preferred stock dividends decreased $2.7 million due primarily to the non-cash charge for stock issuance costs recognized upon redemption of the Series 5 Preferred Stock redeemed during the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Related to our Parent Company's results, our net income attributable to common stockholders increased $23.4 million during 2013 as compared to 2012 primarily from gains on the sale of real estate, including discontinued operating centers, and to the increase in our equity in income in investments in real estate partnerships, as discussed above. Our diluted net income per share was $0.38 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to diluted net income per share of $0.13 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Related to our Operating Partnership results, our net income attributable to common unit holders increased $23.4 million during 2013 as compared to 2012 for the same reasons stated above. Our diluted net income per unit was $0.38 for the three months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to net income per unit of $0.13 for the three months ended September 30, 2012.

Minimum rent increased during 2013 as compared to 2012 due to acquisitions, dispositions, and changes in overall occupancy and average base rent for our same properties, as follows:

$17.8 million decrease due to the sale of a 15-property portfolio on July 25, 2012; offset by

$16.2 million increase due to the acquisition of operating properties and operations beginning at development properties during 2012 and 2013; and

$6.2 million increase in minimum rent from same properties, which was driven by rental rate and occupancy growth and increases from contractual rent steps in existing leases.

Recoveries from tenants and other income increased during 2013 as compared to 2012 due to the following:

$5.0 million decrease due to the sale of a 15-property portfolio on July 25, 2012;

$1.9 million decrease due to a change in the timing and amount of our captive insurance distribution; offset by

$3.6 million increase due to the acquisition of operating properties and operations beginning at development properties during 2012 and 2013; and

$4.6 million increase in recoveries at same properties, which was driven by an increase in recoverable costs and an increase in our recovery ratio, due to improvements in occupancy and market recovery rates.

Leasing commissions and other fees decreased during the nine months ended September 30, 2013, as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2012, due to the decrease in leasing activity performed for co-investment partnerships and third parties during 2013, driven by leasing volume, as occupancy levels stabilize and less vacant GLA is available to be leased.

Depreciation and amortization, operating and maintenance expenses, and real estate taxes changed due the impact of acquisitions, development operations, and dispositions during 2012 and 2013, as follows

$15.0 million decrease due to the sale of a 15-property portfolio on July 25, 2012; offset by

$14.3 million increase due to the acquisition of operating properties and operations beginning at development properties during 2012 and 2013, and

$7.0 million increase at same properties, primarily due to incremental operating expenses associated with winter weather in 2013, increased operating and maintenance costs, additional depreciation expense resulting from capital improvements to existing centers, and increases in real estate tax assessments.

In addition, general and administrative expense increased primarily due to lower capitalization of development and leasing overhead costs of $3.8 million, due to the timing of development project starts and leasing activity. These costs were offset by $2.3 million of reduced incentive compensation expense during 2013, as compared to 2012, due primarily to the timing of development project completions. Incentive compensation related to development projects is paid upon completion and there were no development project completions in the current year as compared to two completions in the prior year.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we recognized a $6.0 million impairment on a single operating property as a result of an unoccupied anchor declaring bankruptcy, where we have thus far been unable to re-lease the anchor space. During the nine months ended September 30, 2012, we recognized a $20.2 million impairment, including $19.1 million related to the 15-property portfolio sold in July 2012, and impairment losses on three land parcels.

(1) As of June 30, 2012, our ownership interest in MCWR III was 24.95%. The liquidation of MCWR III was complete effective March 20, 2013.
(2) On August 13, 2013, Regency Retail Partners, LP (the "Fund") sold 100% of its interest in its entire portfolio of shopping centers to a third party. The Fund will be dissolved following the final distribution of proceeds.
(3) On October 23, 2013, the Company sold 100% of its interest in the BRET unconsolidated real estate partnership and received a capital distribution of $47.5 million, its share of the undistributed income of the partnership, and a redemption premium. Regency no longer has any interest in the BRET partnership.
    
The $6.0 million increase in our equity in income in investments in real estate partnerships for 2013, as compared to 2012, is primarily due to the following:

$2.0 million increase from the GRIR partnership due to the additional shopping center acquired in January 2012, coupled with increased tenant percentage rent, increased recovery revenue rates, and lower interest expense as a result of paying off debt in 2012,

$6.7 million decrease from the Columbia I partnership due to our share of a $34.5 million gain on sale of an operating property that was sold in April 2012,

$7.4 million increase from the Fund due to recognizing $7.4 million pro-rata gain on the sale of all operating properties within the Fund in August 2013, and

$2.8 million increase from our ownership interest retained in BRET, as part of the 15-property portfolio sale completed in July 2012, which we redeemed 100% of our ownership interest for cash in October 2013.

Income from discontinued operations of $31.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 included $27.5 million of gains, net of taxes, from the sale of eight operating properties, their operating income, and the operating income of one operating property held for sale at September 30, 2013. Income from discontinued operations of $10.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2012 included $8.6 million of gains, net of taxes, from the sale of four operating properties and their operating income, including $4.5 million of impairment losses, as well as the operating income of properties sold or held for sale since September 30, 2012.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2013, we had a gain of $1.8 million, which includes gains from the sale of five out-parcels, compared to six out-parcel sales for a gain of $2.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Preferred stock dividends decreased $11.5 million, which is attributable to the $9.3 million non-cash charge for stock issuance costs recognized upon redemption of the Series 3, 4 and 5 Preferred Stock during the nine months ended September 30, 2012. We issued $325.0 million of new preferred stock during 2012 at a weighted average dividend rate of 0.72% less than those redeemed, saving us $2.2 million in preferred dividends on an annualized basis.

Related to our Parent Company's results, our net income attributable to common stockholders increased $51.9 million during 2013 as compared to 2012 primarily from the gains on sale of operating properties, the decrease in preferred stock dividends, the decrease in impairment costs during 2013, and the increase in equity in income of investments in real estate partnerships, as discussed above. Our diluted net income per share was $0.90 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to diluted net income per share of $0.34 for the nine months ended September 30, 2012.

Related to our Operating Partnership results, our net income attributable to common unit holders increased $52.0 million during 2013 as compared to 2012 for the same reasons stated above. Our diluted net income per unit was $0.90 for the nine months ended September 30, 2013 as compared to net income per unit of $0.34 for the nine months ended September 30, 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 and 95% occupied 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.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

There have been no material changes from the quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk disclosed in item 7A of Part II of our Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Controls and Procedures (Regency Centers Corporation)

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Parent Company's management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, the Parent Company conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Based on this evaluation, the Parent Company's chief executive officer and chief financial officer concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Parent Company in the reports it files or submits is accumulated and communicated to management, including its chief executive officer and chief financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the third quarter of 2013 and that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.

Under the supervision and with the participation of the Operating Partnership's management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of its general partner, the Operating Partnership conducted an evaluation of its disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined under Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Exchange Act. Based on this evaluation, the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of its general partner concluded that its disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of the end of the period covered by this quarterly report on Form 10-Q to ensure information required to be disclosed in the reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time period specified in the SEC's rules and forms. These disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by the Operating Partnership in the reports it files or submits is accumulated and communicated to management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer of its general partner, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

There have been no changes in our internal controls over financial reporting identified in connection with this evaluation that occurred during the third quarter of 2013 and that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
