ACADIA REALTY TRUST REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2020 OPERATING RESULTS

RYE, NY (November 03, 2020) - Acadia Realty Trust (NYSE: AKR) (“Acadia” or the “Company”) today reported operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2020. All per share amounts are on a fully-diluted basis, where applicable.

Acadia operates dual platforms, comprised of a high-quality core real estate portfolio (“Core Portfolio”), through which the Company owns and operates retail assets in the nation’s most dynamic corridors, and a series of discretionary, institutional funds (“Funds”) that target opportunistic and value-add investments.

Please refer to the tables and notes accompanying this press release for further details on operating results and additional disclosures related to net income, funds from operations ("FFO") as per NAREIT and before Special Items (discussed below), and net property operating income ("NOI") which were impacted due to the COVID-19 Pandemic.

“With our significantly improving cash collections along with sustained operating performance, we are cautiously optimistic with the recovery we are seeing,” stated Kenneth F. Bernstein, President and CEO of Acadia Realty Trust. “Additionally, while we remain cognizant of the challenges and resulting uncertainties that may transpire over the next several months, we are encouraged by our recently executed leases as well as our growing pipeline. Lastly, we are beginning to see actionable investment opportunities emerge for our fund platform.”

OPERATIONS UPDATE

COVID-19 Impact on Operations

Third quarter results were negatively impacted by approximately $0.15 related to credit losses, of which $0.06 arose from straight-line rent reserves. The amounts below represent Acadia’s share of credit losses, straight-line rent reserves and tenant abatements associated with the COVID-19 Pandemic (in millions):

Core Portfolio Cash Collections

At October 30, 2020, monthly and quarterly cash collections for the Core Portfolio were as follows:

Additionally, through October 30, 2020, the Company has collected approximately 90% of October 2020 billed rents and recoveries comprised of 89% and 92% for Street/Urban and Suburban, respectively.

All amounts are based upon pre-COVID billings (original contract rents without regard to deferral or abatement agreements) and exclude the impact of any security deposits applied against tenant accounts.

Core Portfolio Opening Status

Core Portfolio store openings continued to increase as follows:

Core Portfolio cash collections and openings continue to improve but could fluctuate on a monthly basis due to timing of payments between reported periods which may continue to occur from the COVID-19 Pandemic. Cash collections and store opening data are presented for information purposes and are not intended to represent future trends.

Dividend

Beginning with the second quarter of 2020, the Board of Trustees (“Board”) temporarily suspended distributions on common shares and common units, which suspension the Board has determined to continue through the fourth quarter of 2020. Assuming that current operating conditions continue to prevail, the Company currently expects to reinstate quarterly distributions in the first quarter of 2021, which would be subject to Board approval at that time.
