The Macerich Company
Executive Summary
December 31, 2023

macerich-blk.jpg

We own 46 million square feet of real estate consisting primarily of interests in 43 regional town centers that serve as community cornerstones. As a leading owner, operator and developer of high-quality retail real estate in densely populated and attractive U.S. markets, our portfolio is concentrated in California, the Pacific Northwest, Phoenix/Scottsdale, and the Metro New York to Washington, D.C. corridor. We are firmly dedicated to advancing environmental goals, social good and sound corporate governance. As a recognized leader in sustainability, The Macerich Company (the “Company”) has achieved a #1 Global Real Estate Sustainability Benchmark (“GRESB”) ranking for the North American retail sector for nine consecutive years (2015-2023).

General Updates:

We recently announced that Jackson Hsieh will become the President and Chief Executive of Macerich on March 1, 2024, following the retirement of Thomas O’Hern after 31 years of service to the Company. We are excited to make this leadership transition at a time when the fundamentals of the company are strong, along with recent shareholder returns which ranked approximately eleventh among all REIT’s on a trailing three-year basis as of December 31, 2023 at approximately 69%.

2023 was an exceptional and historic year for our leasing team. We finished the year having leased 4.2 million square feet of space, a 12% increase over 2022, which was itself an extraordinary year of leasing activity. 2023 leasing represents a record high for Macerich dating back to our 1994 inception as a public company. As a result, we have amassed a very impactful pipeline of small and large format lease deals, which are signed but not yet open. We expect to open most of these exciting new uses during 2024 and 2025. Occupancy as of December 31, 2023 was 93.5%, a healthy increase compared to year-end 2022. Trailing twelve-month base rent leasing spreads at December 31, 2023 showed strong double-digit increases for the third consecutive quarter. We also made considerable progress since the third quarter of 2023 in addressing our near-term debt maturities through various financing and disposition transactions.

Results for the Quarter:

The net income attributable to the Company was $62.2 million or $0.29 per share-diluted during the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to the net income attributable to the Company of $1.7 million or $0.01 per share-diluted attributable to the Company for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”), excluding financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold, accrued default interest expense and gain on extinguishment of debt was $126.5 million or $0.56 per share-diluted during the fourth quarter of 2023, compared to $119.5 million or $0.53 per share-diluted for FFO excluding financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold, accrued default interest expense and gain on extinguishment of debt for the quarter ended December 31, 2022.

Same center net operating income (“NOI”), excluding lease termination income, increased 3.0% in the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022. For the year ended December 31, 2023, same center NOI, excluding lease termination income, increased 4.5% compared to 2022.

Portfolio tenant sales per square foot for space less than 10,000 square feet for the year ended December 31, 2023 were $836 compared to $869 for the year ended December 31, 2022. Portfolio tenant sales for the year ended December 31, 2023 from comparable spaces less than 10,000 square feet decreased modestly by 1.8% compared to the year ended December 31, 2022.

Portfolio occupancy continues to improve and as of December 31, 2023 was 93.5%, a 0.9% increase compared to the 92.6% occupancy rate at December 31, 2022 and a sequential 0.1% improvement compared to the 93.4% occupancy rate at September 30, 2023.

Base rent re-leasing spreads were 17.2% greater than expiring base rent for the year ended December 31, 2023. This was the ninth consecutive quarter of positive base rent leasing spreads.

During 2023, we signed leases for a company record 4.2 million square feet, which is 12% more square footage signed than during 2022, on a comparable center basis. This included an 18% increase in leased square footage during the fourth quarter of 2023 compared to the fourth quarter of 2022, on a comparable center basis.

Balance Sheet:

During the fourth quarter of 2023 and in early 2024, we made extensive progress in managing our near-term debt maturities, including the following financing and disposition activity:

The Macerich Company
Executive Summary
December 31, 2023
On December 4, 2023, our joint venture closed a $710 million refinance of the existing $666 million loan on Tysons Corner Center. The new loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.60%, is interest only during the entire loan term and matures on December 6, 2028.

On December 27, 2023, our joint venture sold One Westside for $700 million. The existing $325 million loan on the property was repaid, and $78 million of net proceeds were generated at our 25% ownership share, which were used to reduce our revolving line of credit.
On January 10, 2024, our joint venture closed a $24 million refinance of the existing $23 million loan on Boulevard Shops. The new loan bears variable interest at SOFR + 2.50%, is interest only during the entire loan term and matures on December 5, 2028.

On January 22, 2024, we repaid the majority of the loan on Fashion District Philadelphia. The remaining $8 million matures on April 21, 2024.

On January 25, 2024, we closed a $155 million refinance of the existing $117 million loan on Danbury Fair Mall. The new loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 6.39%, is interest only during the majority of the loan term and matures on February 6, 2034.

To recap 2023 and year-to-date 2024 financing activities, across seven separate transactions we have refinanced or extended eight loans totaling $2.8 billion, or $2 billion at our ownership share. This included an approximate 4.5 year renewal and upsizing of our $650 million revolving corporate credit facility during the third quarter of 2023.

As of the date of this filing, we had approximately $657 million of liquidity, including $490 million of available capacity on our $650 million revolving line of credit.

2024 Earnings Guidance:

At this time, we are issuing our 2024 guidance for both estimated EPS-diluted and FFO per share-diluted, excluding financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold and accrued default interest expense. The following is a reconciliation of estimated EPS-diluted to FFO per share-diluted, excluding financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold and accrued default interest expense:


Fiscal Year 2024
Guidance
EPS-diluted($0.08)-$0.02 
Plus: real estate depreciation and amortization1.83 -1.83 
FFO per share-diluted1.75 -1.85 
Less: impact of financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold0.00-0.00
Plus: impact of accrued default interest expense(1)0.01 -0.01 
FFO per share – diluted, excluding financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold and accrued default interest expense$1.76 -$1.86 

(1) Represents accrued default interest expense on non-recourse debt associated with Country Club Plaza. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require that we accrue these amounts, which are not expected to be paid and are expected to be reversed once a loan is modified or once title to the mortgaged loan collateral is transferred.

This guidance does not assume any sale of common equity during 2024. These estimates do not include potential future gains or losses or the impact on operating results from possible, future, material property acquisitions or dispositions, other than land sales. There can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ from the estimates set forth above.

More details of the guidance assumptions are included on page 15.

Dividend:

On February 2, 2024, we announced a quarterly cash dividend of $0.17 per share of common stock. The dividend is payable on March 4, 2024 to stockholders of record at the close of business on February 16, 2024.

Investor Conference Call:

We will provide an online Web simulcast and rebroadcast of our quarterly earnings conference call. The call will be available on The Macerich Company’s website at www.macerich.com (Investors Section). The call begins on February 7, 2024 at 10:00 a.m. Pacific Time.

The Macerich Company
Executive Summary
December 31, 2023

About Macerich and this Document:

The Company is a fully integrated, self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust, which focuses on the acquisition, leasing, management, development and redevelopment of regional town centers throughout the United States. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a majority of the ownership interests in, The Macerich Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”) and conducts all of its operations through the Operating Partnership and the Company’s management companies.
As of the date of this filing, the Operating Partnership owned or had an ownership interest in 46 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) consisting primarily of interests in 43 regional town centers, three community/power shopping centers and one redevelopment property. These 47 centers are referred to hereinafter as the “Centers” unless the context requires otherwise.
All references to the Company in this document include the Company, those entities owned or controlled by the Company and predecessors of the Company, unless the context indicates otherwise.

Macerich uses, and intends to continue to use, its Investor Relations website, which can be found at https://investing.macerich.com/, as a means of disclosing material nonpublic information and for complying with its disclosure obligations under Regulation FD. Additional information about Macerich can be found though social media platforms such as LinkedIn and Twitter.

The Company presents certain measures in this document on a pro rata basis which represents (i) the measure on a consolidated basis, minus the Company’s partners’ share of the measure from its consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ percentage ownership interest); plus (ii) the Company’s share of the measure from its unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the Company’s percentage ownership interest). Management believes that these measures provide useful information to investors regarding its financial condition and/or results of operations because they include the Company’s share of the applicable amount from unconsolidated joint ventures and exclude the Company’s partners’ share from consolidated joint ventures, in each case presented on the same basis. The Company has several significant joint ventures and the Company believes that presenting various measures in this manner can help investors better understand the Company’s financial condition and/or results of operations after taking into account its economic interest in these joint ventures. Management also uses these measures to evaluate regional property level performance and to make decisions about resource allocations. The Company’s economic interest (as distinct from its legal ownership interest) in certain of its joint ventures could fluctuate from time to time and may not wholly align with its legal ownership interests because of provisions in certain joint venture agreements regarding distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses, payments of preferred returns and control over major decisions. Additionally, the Company does not control its unconsolidated joint ventures and the presentation of certain items, such as assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, from these unconsolidated joint ventures does not represent the Company’s legal claim to such items.

Note: This document contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements which can be identified by the use of words, such as “will,” “expects,” “anticipates,” “assumes,” “believes,” “estimated,” “guidance,” “projects,” “scheduled” and similar expressions that do not relate to historical matters, and includes expectations regarding the Company’s future operational results as well as development, redevelopment and expansion activities. Stockholders are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to vary materially from those anticipated, expected or projected. Such factors include, among others, general industry, as well as global, national, regional and local economic and business conditions, including the impact of rising interest rates and inflation, which will, among other things, affect demand for retail space or retail goods, availability and creditworthiness of current and prospective tenants, anchor or tenant bankruptcies, closures, mergers or consolidations, lease rates, terms and payments, interest rate fluctuations, availability, terms and cost of financing, and cost of operating and capital expenses; adverse changes in the real estate markets including, among other things, competition from other companies, retail formats and technology, risks of real estate development and redevelopment (including rising inflation, supply chain disruptions and construction delays), and acquisitions and dispositions; the adverse impacts from any future pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of any highly infectious disease on the U.S., regional and global economies and the financial condition and results of operations of the Company and its tenants; the liquidity of real estate investments; governmental actions and initiatives (including legislative and regulatory changes); environmental and safety requirements; and terrorist activities or other acts of violence which could adversely affect all of the above factors. The reader is directed to the Company’s various filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2022 for a discussion of such risks and uncertainties, which discussion is incorporated herein by reference. You are cautioned not to place undue reliance on these forward-looking statements, which speak only as of the date of this document. The Company does not intend, and undertakes no obligation, to update any forward-looking information to reflect events or circumstances after the date of this document or to reflect the occurrence of unanticipated events unless required by law to do so.

THE MACERICH COMPANY
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)



(a)The Company accounts for its investment in the Chandler Fashion Center and Freehold Raceway Mall ("Chandler Freehold") joint venture as a financing arrangement. As a result, the Company has included in interest expense (i) a credit of $29,597 and $35,118 to adjust for the change in the fair value of the financing arrangement obligation during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively; and an expense of $9,396 and $24,233 to adjust for the change in the fair value of the financing arrangement obligation during the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively; (ii) distributions of $1,855 and $2,105 to its partner representing the partner's share of net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively; and $1,794 and $1,833 to its partner representing the partner's share of net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022; respectively; and (iii) distributions of $3,545 and $8,807 to its partner in excess of the partner's share of net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2023, respectively; and $177 and $8,669 to its partner in excess of the partner's share of net income for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2022, respectively. On November 16, 2023, the Company acquired its partners' interest in Freehold Raceway Mall and as a result, that property is no longer part of the financing arrangement and is 100% owned by the Company. References to "Chandler Freehold" after November 16, 2023 shall be deemed to only refer to Chandler Fashion Center.

(b)The Operating Partnership has operating partnership units ("OP Units"). OP Units can be converted into shares of Company common stock. Conversion of the OP Units not owned by the Company has been assumed for purposes of calculating FFO per share and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The computation of average shares for FFO-diluted includes the effect of share and unit-based compensation plans, stock warrants and convertible senior notes using the treasury stock method. It also assumes conversion of MACWH, LP preferred and common units to the extent they are dilutive to the calculation.

(c)The Company uses FFO in addition to net income to report its operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO-diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") measures. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit") defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairment write-downs of real estate and write-downs of investments in an affiliate where the write-downs have been driven by a decrease in the value of real estate held by the affiliate and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

The Company accounts for its joint venture in Chandler Freehold as a financing arrangement. In connection with this treatment, the Company recognizes financing expense on (i) the changes in fair value of the financing arrangement, (ii) any payments to such joint venture partner equal to their pro rata share of net income and (iii) any payments to such joint venture partner less than or in excess of their pro rata share of net income. The Company excludes the noted expenses related to the changes in fair value and for the payments to such joint venture partner less than or in excess of their pro rata share of net income.

The Company also presents FFO excluding financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold, gain on extinguishment of debt and accrued default interest expense.
FFO and FFO on a diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization, as the Company believes real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. The Company believes that such a presentation also provides investors with a more meaningful measure of its operating results in comparison to the operating results of other REITs. In addition, the Company believes that FFO excluding financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold, impact associated with extinguishment of debt and accrued default interest expense provides useful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance as it shows a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company's operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare the Company's results. The default interest expense reflects the interest accruing on the nonrecourse loans associated with Towne Mall, Fashion Outlets of Niagara and Country Club Plaza. GAAP requires that the Company accrue these amounts, which are not expected to be paid and are expected to be reversed once a loan is modified or once title to the mortgaged loan collateral is transferred. Towne Mall was sold by the receiver on December 4, 2023, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $8.2 million and the reversal of the entire $0.7 million of accrued default interest expense.

The Company further believes that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP, and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. The Company also cautions that FFO as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other REITs.

(d)Adjusted EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, noncontrolling interests in the OP, extraordinary items, loss (gain) on remeasurement, sale or write down of assets, loss (gain) on extinguishment of debt and preferred dividends and includes joint ventures at their pro rata share. Management considers Adjusted EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it helps investors understand the ability of the Company to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. The Company believes that Adjusted EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) or as a measure of liquidity. The Company also cautions that Adjusted EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies.

(e)The Company presents Same Center NOI because the Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate the operating performance of comparable centers. Same Center NOI is calculated using total Adjusted EBITDA and eliminating the impact of the Management Companies’ revenues and operating expenses, leasing expenses (including joint ventures at pro rata), the Company’s REIT general and administrative expenses and the straight-line and above/below market adjustments to minimum rents and subtracting out NOI from non-Same Centers. The Company also presents Same Center NOI, excluding lease termination income, as the Company believes that it is useful for investors to evaluate operating performance without the impact of lease termination income.

2024 Earnings Guidance (unaudited)
At this time, we are issuing our 2024 guidance for both estimated EPS-diluted and FFO per share-diluted, excluding financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold and accrued default interest expense. The following is a reconciliation of estimated EPS-diluted to FFO per share-diluted, excluding financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold and accrued default interest expense:

Fiscal Year 2024
Guidance
EPS-diluted($0.08)-$0.02 
Plus: real estate depreciation and amortization1.83 -1.83 
FFO per share-diluted1.75 -1.85 
Less: impact of financing expense in connection with Chandler Freehold0.00-0.00
Plus: impact of accrued default interest expense(1)0.01 -0.01 
FFO per share – diluted, excluding financing expense in connection with
Chandler Freehold and accrued default interest expense
$1.76 -$1.86 

(1) Represents accrued default interest expense on non-recourse debt associated with Country Club Plaza. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles require that we accrue these amounts, which are not expected to be paid and are expected to be reversed once a loan is modified or once title to the mortgaged loan collateral is transferred.


This guidance does not assume any sale of common equity during 2024. These estimates do not include potential future gains or losses or the impact on operating results from possible, future, material property acquisitions or dispositions, other than land sales. There can be no assurance that our actual results will not differ from the estimates set forth above.

(a)This column reflects the Company’s legal ownership in the listed properties. Legal ownership may, at times, not equal the Company’s economic interest in the listed properties because of various provisions in certain joint venture agreements regarding distributions of cash flow based on capital account balances, allocations of profits and losses and payments of preferred returns. As a result, the Company’s actual economic interest (as distinct from its legal ownership interest) in certain of the properties could fluctuate from time to time and may not wholly align with its legal ownership interests. Substantially all of the Company’s joint venture agreements contain rights of first refusal, buy-sell provisions, exit rights, default dilution remedies and/or other break up provisions or remedies which are customary in real estate joint venture agreements and which may, positively or negatively, affect the ultimate realization of cash flow and/or capital or liquidation proceeds.

(b)Economic ownership represents the allocation of cash flow to the Company, except as noted below. In cases where the Company receives a current cash distribution greater than its legal ownership percentage due to a capital account greater than its legal ownership percentage, only the legal ownership percentage is shown in this column. The Company’s economic ownership of these properties may fluctuate based on a number of factors, including mortgage refinancings, partnership capital contributions and distributions, and proceeds and gains or losses from asset sales, and the matters set forth in the preceding paragraph.

(c)Includes GLA attributable to anchors (whether owned or non-owned) and mall and freestanding stores.

(d)These Centers have a former Sears store, each of which were acquired from joint venture partner Sertiage Growth Partners and are now wholly owned and controlled by Macerich. The GLA of the former Sears store, or tenant replacing the former Sears store, at these three Centers is included in Total GLA at the center level.

(e)The joint venture entity was formed in September 2009. Upon liquidation of the partnership, distributions are made in the following order: pro rata 49.9% to the third-party partner and 50.1% to the Company until a 13% internal rate of return on and of certain capital expenditures is received; to the Company until it receives approximately $5.8 million; and, thereafter, pro rata 35% to the third-party partner and 65% to the Company.

(a)The Company’s pro rata share of debt represents (i) consolidated debt, minus the Company’s partners’ share of the amount from consolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the partners’ percentage ownership interest); plus (ii) the Company’s share of debt from unconsolidated joint ventures (calculated based upon the Company’s percentage ownership interest). Management believes that this measure provides useful information to investors regarding the Company’s financial condition because it includes the Company’s share of debt from unconsolidated joint ventures and, for consolidated debt, excludes the Company’s partners’ share from consolidated joint ventures, in each case presented on the same basis. The Company has several significant joint ventures and presenting its pro rata share of debt in this manner can help investors better understand the Company’s financial condition after taking into account the Company’s economic interest in these joint ventures. The Company’s pro rata share of debt should not be considered as a substitute to the Company’s total debt determined in accordance with GAAP or any other GAAP financial measures and should only be considered together with and as a supplement to the Company’s financial information prepared in accordance with GAAP.

The Macerich Company
Supplemental Financial and Operating Information (Unaudited)
Outstanding Debt by Maturity Date


(a)The debt balances include the unamortized debt premiums/discounts and loan finance costs. Debt premiums/discounts represent the excess of the fair value of debt over the principal value of debt assumed in various acquisitions. Debt premiums/discounts and loan finance costs are amortized into interest expense over the remaining term of the related debt in a manner that approximates the effective interest method. The annual interest rate in the table represents the effective interest rate, including the debt premiums/discounts and loan finance costs.

(b)Effective October 6, 2023, the loan is in default. The Company is in negotiations with the lender on the terms of this non-recourse loan.

(c)On January 25, 2024, the Company closed a $155 million, ten-year refinance of the loan on Danbury Fair Mall. The new loan bears a fixed interest rate of 6.39%, is interest only during the majority of the loan term and matures on February 6, 2034.

(d)The property is owned by a consolidated joint venture. The loan amount represents the Company's pro rata share of 50.1%.

(e)The property is owned by a consolidated joint venture. The loan amount represents the Company's pro rata share of 84.9%.

(f)On January 22, 2024, the Company repaid $60 million of this loan. The remaining $8 million was extended to April 21, 2024.
(g)The maturity date assumes that all available extension options are fully exercised and that the Company and/or its affiliates do not opt to refinance the debt prior to these dates.

(h)This loan requires an interest rate cap agreement to be in place at all times, which limits how high the prevailing floating loan rate benchmark index (i.e. SOFR) for the loan can rise. As of the date of this document, SOFR for this loan exceeded the strike interest rate within the required interest rate cap agreement and is considered fixed rate debt.

(i)Effective May 9, 2023, the loan is in default. The Company's joint venture is in negotiations with the lender on the terms of this non-recourse loan.

(j)On January 10, 2024, the Company's joint venture closed a five-year refinance of this loan. The extended loan amount was increased to $24 million ($12 million at the Company's share) and will bear interest at a floating rate of SOFR plus 2.50%, is interest only during the entire loan term and matures on December 5, 2028. The extended loan also has a required interest rate cap throughout the term of the loan at a strike rate of 7.50%.
