Core Portfolio Acquisitions

Completed: Approximately $120 million | Pipeline: Approximately $150 million

• Bleecker Street Portfolio, Manhattan, New York. As previously announced, during the third quarter, the Company acquired a four-building retail portfolio along the Bleecker Street retail corridor in the West Village of Manhattan for $20.3 million. The portfolio offers the potential for both lease up and accretive mark-to-market re-leasing opportunities. This acquisition is complementary to its existing Street retail corridors and aligns with the Company's strategy of targeting high-quality core assets in markets with high barriers to entry.

• Williamsburg, Brooklyn, New York. In October 2024, the Company completed the acquisitions of 123-129 N. 6th Street for $35.0 million and 109 N. 6th Street for $18.3 million in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. This collection of retail assets is located in one of New York City's most dynamic and in-demand retail corridors and offers below-market rents and lease-up opportunities. These acquisitions expand the Company's existing Williamsburg portfolio.

• SoHo Manhattan, New York. In October 2024, the Company closed on 92-94 Greene Street for $43.4 million which is adjacent to its existing property located on the corner of Spring and Green Street in SoHo. This acquisition expands the Company's SoHo portfolio to 12 buildings, eight of which are on Greene Street. The property provides an opportunity for near-term opportunity for accretive re-leasing.

• Core Portfolio Pipeline. The Company is also under agreements or in advanced stages of negotiations relating to potential investments with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $150.0 million to acquire Street retail assets within its existing markets, including the Georgetown corridor of Washington D.C., SoHo Manhattan, New York, and Henderson Avenue in Dallas, Texas.

Investment Management Acquisitions

Completed: Approximately $30 million | Pipeline: Approximately $275 million

• The Walk at Highwoods Preserve, Tampa, Florida. As previously announced, in July 2024, the Company completed the acquisition of a 141,000 square foot open-air shopping center anchored by Home Goods and Michaels.
  In October 2024, the Company entered into a joint venture with funds managed by the Private Real Estate Group of Cohen & Steers to own the property. The Company will be entitled to an asset management fee and an opportunity to earn a promote upon the ultimate disposition of the investment. Additionally, the Company will manage the day-to-day operations of the investment entitling it to earn management, leasing, and construction fees.

• Investment Management Pipeline. The Company is in advanced stages of negotiation involving a potential investment with an aggregate purchase price of approximately $275.0 million of gross asset value (including the Company's share). The Company anticipates acquiring a minority interest along with a leading global alternative asset management firm. Upon closing, the Company will be entitled to an asset management fee and an opportunity to earn a promote upon the ultimate disposition of the investment. Additionally, the Company will manage day-to-day operations entitling it to earn management, leasing, and construction fees.

The pending Core and Investment Management transactions described within the Pipeline above are subject to final agreement between the parties, customary closing conditions and market uncertainty. Thus, no assurances can be given that the Company will successfully close on any of these transactions on the anticipated timeline or at all.

DISPOSITION ACTIVITY

Investment Management Disposition

• Frederick Crossing, Frederick, Maryland. In the third quarter, the Company, in partnership with DLC Management Corp., completed the sale of Frederick Crossing, a Fund V asset, for $47.2 million, and repaid the related $23.2 million mortgage loan. This sale generated a 27% IRR, 2.1x multiple on the Fund's equity investment and a $11.6 million gain, of which $2.3 million was the Company's share.

PORTFOLIO EXPANSION

Core Portfolio

• Henderson Avenue Corridor Expansion. In October 2024, the Company, in partnership with Ignite-Rebees, commenced construction on a major expansion to its existing 14 building portfolio on Henderson Avenue in Dallas, Texas. Upon completion, the project will add up to an additional 10 buildings and approximately 160,000 square feet to its existing 121,385 square feet retail portfolio, which was acquired by the Company in 2022. The expansion will accelerate the transformation of this corridor into a vibrant, walkable, street retail destination, positioning the asset to be one of the most exciting urban retail hubs in the Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex. The project is scheduled for completion in late 2026 and stabilization in 2027.

BALANCE SHEET

• Equity Activity: Raised net proceeds during the quarter and through October 28, 2024 of $318.8 million from the sale of 14.3 million shares of its common stock consisting of $187.0 million (8.5 million shares) through the Company's at-the-market issuance program and $131.8 million (5.75 million shares, inclusive of the underwriters exercised option to purchase 750,000 additional shares) through an underwritten public offering in connection with forward sales agreements.

ACADIA REALTY TRUST AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Financial Highlights:

1. For additional information and analysis concerning the Company’s balance sheet and results of operations, reference is made to the Company’s quarterly supplemental disclosures for the relevant periods furnished on the Company's Current Report on Form 8-K, which is available on the SEC's website at www.sec.gov and on the Company’s website at www.acadiarealty.com.

2. Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue common shares of the Company were exercised or converted into common shares. The effect of the conversion of units of limited partnership interest ("OP Units") in Acadia Realty Limited Partnership, the operating partnership of the Company (the "Operating Partnership"), is not reflected in the above table; OP Units are exchangeable into common shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such OP units is allocated on the same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these OP Units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

3. The Company considers funds from operations ("FFO") as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") and net property operating income ("NOI") to be appropriate supplemental disclosures of operating performance for an equity REIT due to their widespread acceptance and use within the REIT and analyst communities. In addition, the Company believes that given the atypical nature of certain unusual items (as further described below), "FFO Before Special Items" is also an appropriate supplemental disclosure of operating performance. FFO, FFO Before Special Items and NOI are presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. The Company believes they are helpful as they exclude various items included in net income (loss) that are not indicative of operating performance, such as (i) gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties; (ii) depreciation and amortization and (iii) impairment of depreciable real estate properties. In addition, NOI excludes interest expense and FFO Before Special Items excludes certain unusual items (as further described below). The Company’s method of calculating FFO, FFO Before Special Items and NOI may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Neither FFO nor FFO Before Special Items represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), or are indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. Such measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

   1. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding:

      1. gains (losses) from sales of real estate properties;

      2. depreciation and amortization;

      3. impairment of real estate properties;

      4. gains and losses from change in control; and

      5. after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

   2. Also consistent with NAREIT’s definition of FFO, the Company has elected to include: the impact of the unrealized holding gains (losses) incidental to its main business, including those related to its RCP investments such as Albertsons in FFO.

   3. FFO Before Special Items begins with the NAREIT definition of FFO and adjusts FFO (or as an adjustment to the numerator within its earnings per share calculations) to take into account FFO without regard to certain unusual items including:

      1. charges, income and gains that management believes are not comparable and indicative of the results of the Company’s operating real estate portfolio;

      2. the impact of the unrealized holding gains (losses) incidental to its main business, including those related to its Retailer Controlled Property Venture ("RCP") investments such as Albertsons; and

      3. any realized income or gains from the Company’s investment in Albertsons.

4. The Company defines Special Items to include (i) unrealized holding losses or gains (net of noncontrolling interest share) on investments and (ii) other costs that do not occur in the ordinary course of our underwriting and investing business.

5. The pro-rata share of NOI is based upon the Operating Partnership’s stated ownership percentages in each venture or Investment Management’s operating agreement and does not include the Operating Partnership's share of NOI from unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures within Investment Management.
