Interim Financial Statements and Basis of Presentation: The accompanying Condensed Consolidated financial statements of The Macerich Company ("financial statements") have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements and have not been audited by independent public accountants. The unaudited interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited financial statements and related notes included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 1995. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) necessary for a fair presentation of the financial statements for the interim periods have been made. The results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for a full year. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 1995 financial statements to conform to the 1996 financial statement presentation. 2. Organization: The Macerich Company (the "Company") was incorporated under the General Corporation Law of Maryland on September 9, 1993 and commenced operations effective with the completion of its initial public offering ("IPO") on March 16, 1994. The Company was formed to continue the business of the Macerich Group, which since 1972 has focused on the acquisition, ownership, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional shopping centers located throughout the United States. In 1994, the Company became the sole general partner of The Macerich Partnership L.P., (the "Operating Partnership"). In connection with it's IPO the Company acquired a 56% interest in the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership now owns 100% of 16 properties, including three that were acquired in 1995 and one in January, 1996. In addition, the Operating Partnership owns interests in four other regional shopping centers. Collectively these properties and interests are referred to as the "Centers". The Company conducts all of its operations through the Operating Partnership and other wholly owned subsidiaries, and the Company's two Management Companies, Macerich Property Management Company and Macerich Management Company, collectively referred to as "the Management Companies". The Company is a real estate investment trust under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, owns approximately 62% of The Operating Partnership and is the sole General Partner. The limited partnership interest not owned by the Company is reflected in these financial statements as Minority Interest. 7 THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands) 3.

[TEXT] Notes: (a) There is a discount on this note which is being amortized over the life of the loan using the effective interest method. At June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 the unamortized discount was $480 and $496, respectively. (b) On April 16, 1996 these loans were combined and secured by all three properties. The loan amount was increased to $103,300. The average interest rate is 7.11% and the maturity is March, 2004. 11 THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands) 6. Mortgage Notes Payable, Continued: (c) The loan indenture requires the Company to deposit all cash flow from the property operations with a trustee to meet its obligations under the Notes. Cash in excess of the required amount, as defined, is released. Included in cash and cash equivalents is $750 of restricted cash deposited with the trustee at June 30, 1996 and at December 31, 1995. (d) This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus .90%. LIBOR was 5.56% at June 30, 1996 and 5.65% at December 31, 1995. Principal payments of $1,800 are due in 1996, $1,600 in 1997 and $1,400 in 1998. There is an interest rate ceiling on this debt of 7.25% for 1996, 7.875% for 1997 and 8.5% from January 1, 1998 to June 30, 1999. The estimated value of this interest rate cap was $420 at June 30, 1996 and $140 at December 31, 1995. (e) This loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 2.22%. Interest only is payable monthly. There is an interest rate cap that provides for an interest rate ceiling of 8% through March, 1999. This interest rate cap had an estimated market value of $840 at June 30, 1996 and $280 at December 31, 1995. (f) This represents the monthly payment of principal and interest. (g) Represents the unamortized cost of interest rate arrangements at Crossroads Mall. The estimated market value of these arrangements is $300 at June 30, 1996 and $886 at December 31, 1995. (h) This amount represents the monthly payment of principal and interest. In addition, contingent interest, as defined in the loan agreement, may be due to the extent that 35% of the amount by which the property's gross receipts (as defined in the loan agreement) exceeds a base amount specified therein. Contingent interest expense recognized by the Company was $153 at June 30, 1996 and $92 at June 30, 1995. (i) Interest only is payable through March, 1996. Thereafter monthly payments total $187 until maturity at which time the balance is due in full. (j) Represents the monthly payment of principal and interest. (k) Represents borrowings under the Company's unsecured working capital line of credit. The total amount of the line is $50,000 and the interest rate is LIBOR plus 1.35% or the prime rate. Certain mortgage loan agreements contain a prepayment penalty provision for the early extinguishment of the debt. The market value of notes payable at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995 is estimated to be approximately $573,000 and $466,000, respectively, based on current interest rates for comparable loans. 12 THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands) 7. Related-Party Transactions: The Company engaged The Management Companies to manage the operations of the unconsolidated joint ventures and other affiliated shopping centers. The Management Companies are reflected under the equity method of accounting for investments. Certain mortgage notes were held by outside partners of the individual Macerich Group partnerships. Interest expense in connection with these notes was $2,691 and $2,045 for the three months ended June 30, 1996 and 1995, respectively, and $5,417 and $4,055 for the six months ended June 30, 1996 and for 1995, respectively. Included in accrued interest expense is interest payable to these partners of $498 and $537 at June 30, 1996 and December 31, 1995, respectively. 8. Commitments and contingencies: Certain partnerships have entered into noncancellable operating ground leases. The leases expire at various times through 2070, subject in some cases to options to extend the terms of the lease. Certain leases provide for contingent rent payments based on a percent of base rent income, as defined. Ground rent expenses were $388, including contingent rents of $10, for the six months ended June 30, 1996, and $1,131, including contingent rents of $360, for the six months ended June 30, 1995. Ground rent expenses were $204 and $533 for three months ended June 30, 1996 and June 30, 1995, respectively. On December 21, 1995, the Company acquired Capitola Mall. As part of the purchase price, the Company will issue $5,000 of Operating Partnership units five years after the acquisition date. The units will be issued at a price equal to the stock price at that time. Perchloroethylene (PCE) has been detected in soil and groundwater in the vicinity of a dry cleaning establishment at North Valley Plaza. The California Department of Toxic Substance Control (DTSC) has advised the Company that very low levels of Dichlorethylene (1,2,DCE) a degradation byproduct of PCE, have been detected in a water well located 1/4 mile west from the dry cleaners, and the dry cleaning facility may have contributed to the introduction of 1,2 DCE into the water well. According to DTSC, the maximum contaminant level (MCL) for 1,2DCE which is permitted in drinking water is 6 parts per billion (ppb); and that the 1,2DCE was detected in the water well at 1.2 ppb, which is below the MCL. The Company has retained an environmental consultant to investigate the contamination and the Company has initiated testing of the site. Evaluation of this situation is preliminary, and at this time the Company is unable to determine whether any remediation will be required, or if necessary, what the range of remediation costs might be. The joint venture that owns that property has set up a $200 reserve ($95 of which has already been incurred) to cover professional fees and testing costs. The Company intends to look to the responsible parties and insurers if remediation is required. 13 THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company) NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Dollars in thousands) 8. Commitments and contingencies - Continued: Toluene, a petroleum constituent, has been detected in one of three groundwater dewatering system holding tanks at the Queens Center. The source of the toluene is currently unknown, but it is possible that an adjacent service station has caused or contributed to the problem. It is also possible that the toluene remains from previous service station operations which occurred on site prior to the development of the site into its current use in the early 1970s. Toluene was detected at levels of 410 and 160 parts per billion (ppb) in samples taken from the tank in October, 1995 and February, 1996, respectively. In May, 1996, two additional samples were collected, one of which contained toluene at .63 ppb, the other sample detected no toluene. Although the Company believes that no remediation will be required, it has set up a $300 reserve to cover professional fees and testing costs. The Company intends to look to the responsible parties and insurers if remediation is required. Dry cleaning chemicals, including perchloroethylene (PCE) have been detected in soil and groundwater in the vicinity of a dry cleaning establishment at Villa Marina Marketplace. The previous owner of the property has reported the problem to the appropriate government authorities and has agreed to fully assess and remediate the site to the extent required by those authorities subject to a limited indemnity agreement. The previous owner has removed the dominant source of impacted soil and is continuing its efforts to assess the site under the direction of the local regulatory oversight agency. Although the Company believes that it will not be required to participate in assessment or remediation activities, it has set up a $300 reserve ($10 of which has already been incurred), concurrent with its January 24, 1996 acquisition of the Center, to cover professional fees and testing costs. 9. Pro Forma Information: Villa Marina Marketplace was acquired on January 25, 1996. On a pro forma basis, reflecting this acquisition as if it had occurred on January 1, 1996, the Company would have reflected total revenues of $73,612, net income of $9,011 and net income per share of $0.45 for the six months ended June 30, 1996. 14 THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company) Item II Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations The following discussion is based primarily on the consolidated balance sheet of the Macerich Company ("the Company") as of June 30, 1996, and also compares the activities for the six months and three months ended June 30, 1996, to the activities for the six months and three months ended June 30, 1995. This information should be read in conjunction with the accompanying consolidated financial statements and notes thereto. These financial statements include all adjustments which are, in the opinion of management, necessary to reflect the fair statement of the results for the interim periods presented, and all such adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company acquired The Centre at Salisbury ("Salisbury") in Salisbury, Maryland on August 15, 1995, Capitola Mall ("Capitola"), in Capitola, California on December 21, 1995, and Queens Center ("Queens"), in Queens, New York on December 28, 1995. These properties are known as the "1995 Acquisition Centers". On January 25, 1996 the Company acquired Villa Marina Marketplace in Marina del Rey, California ("1996 Acquisition"). Shopping centers owned by the Company for the entire six month period ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 are referred to as the "Same Centers" for comparison purposes below. The 1996 financial statements include Villa Marina Marketplace from the date of acquisition to June 30, 1996 and include the 1995 Acquisitions from January 1, 1996 through June 30, 1996. As a result of the acquisitions, many of the variations in the results of operations, discussed below, occurred due to the addition of these properties to the portfolio during 1996 and 1995. The Company's ability to acquire additional properties is impacted by many factors, such as availability and cost of capital, overall debt to market capitalization level, interest rates and availability of potential acquisition targets that meet the Company's criteria. Accordingly, management is uncertain as to whether during the balance of 1996 there will be similar acquisitions and corresponding increases in revenues, net income and funds from operations that occurred as a result of the 1996 and 1995 acquisitions. In addition, the Company's success in the highly competitive real estate shopping center business depends upon many other factors, including general economic conditions, the ability of tenants to make rent payments, increases or decreases in operating expenses, occupancy levels, changes in demographics, competition from other centers and forms of retailing and the ability to renew leases or relet space upon the expiration or termination of leases. The bankruptcy and/or closure of retail stores, particularly anchors, may reduce customer traffic and cash flow generated by a Center. During 1996, Federated Department Stores, Inc. closed the Broadway at Panorama and Weinstocks at Parklane. Although negotiations are underway to replace these anchor tenants, completion of those transactions is not certain and the long-term closure of these or other stores could adversely affect the Company's performance. 15 THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company) Results of Operations - Six months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 Revenues Minimum and percentage rents together increased $15 million to $49.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to $34.7 million in the six months ended June 30, 1995. The 1995 Acquisition Centers contributed $11.1 million of this increase and the 1996 Acquisition contributed $4.0 million. Tenant recoveries for the second quarter of 1996 increased by $10.4 million. This was due to the addition of the 1995 Acquisition Centers and the 1996 Acquisition ($8.8 million) and increases in recoverable expenses at the Same Centers of $1.5 million. Expenses Operating expenses, including shopping center, management, leasing and ground rent expense, increased by $9.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 1996 compared to the same period in 1995. This increase was due to the addition of the 1995 Acquisition Centers ($7.0 million), the 1996 Acquisition ($1.3 million) and increases in Same Centers recoverable expenses of $1.5 million. The increase was offset somewhat by lower ground rent expense of $0.7 million which resulted from the October 1995 acquisition of land at Crossroads-Boulder which was previously ground leased. Depreciation and amortization increased by $3.4 million, virtually all of which was related to the 1996 Acquisition and 1995 Acquisition Centers. Interest expense increased by $8.8 million which resulted primarily from the increased interest expense on debt attributable to the 1995 Acquisition Centers and the 1996 Acquisition. Income From Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and The Management Companies The income from unconsolidated joint ventures increased to $2.1 million compared to $1.6 million for the period ended June 30, 1995. This increase was primarily due to increased net income of $665,000 at the Management Companies. Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt The Company financed the debt secured by Lakewood Mall on June 28, 1995. As a result $1.3 million of unamortized loan costs were written off as an extraordinary item during the six months ended June 30, 1995. Net Income Net income for the period increased to $8.7 million compared to $4.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 1995. This increase was due to the factors discussed above. 16 THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company) Results of Operations - Three months Ended June 30, 1996 and 1995 Revenues Minimum and percentage rents together increased $7.9 million. Of this increase approximate $5.6 million related to the 1995 Acquisition Centers and $2.3 million related to the 1996 Acquisition. Tenant recoveries increased to $12.1 million in 1996, from $6.3 million in 1995. The 1995 Acquisition Centers were responsible for $4.0 million of this increase and $0.5 million of the increase related to the 1996 Acquisition. The balance of the increase was primarily due to higher Same Centers recoverable expenses. Expenses Operating expenses, including shopping center and ground rent expenses, increased by $5.4 million to $12.8 million in 1996, most of which related to the 1995 Acquisition Centers ($3.6 million) and the 1996 Acquisition ($0.7 million). The balance of the increase was primarily due to higher Same Center recoverable expenses of $1.2 million, offset somewhat by lower ground lease expense of $0.3 million. Depreciation and amortization for the quarter increased to $7.9 million from $6.1 million for the same period in 1995. Virtually all of this increase was attributable to the 1995 Acquisition Centers and 1996 Acquisition. Interest expense increased from $5.7 million in 1995 to $10.5 million in 1996. Most of the increase related to debt assumed on, or debt incurred to acquire, the 1995 Acquisition Centers and the 1996 Acquisition. Income From Unconsolidated Joint Ventures and The Management Companies The income from unconsolidated joint ventures and the Management Companies increased from $786,000 in 1995 to $940,000 in 1996. This increase was primarily due to increased net income from the Management Companies. Loss on Early Extinguishment of Debt The Company refinanced the debt secured by Lakewood Mall on June 28, 1995. As a result $1.3 million of unamortized loan costs were written off as an extraordinary item during the quarter ended June 30, 1995. Net Income Net income for the period increased to $4.3 million from $2.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 1995. This increase was due to the factors discussed above. 17 THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company) Liquidity and Capital Resources The Company intends to meet its short term liquidity requirements through cash generated from operations and working capital reserves. The Company anticipates that revenues will continue to provide necessary funds for its operating expenses and debt service requirements, and to pay dividends to stockholders in accordance with REIT requirements. The Company anticipates that cash generated from operations, together with cash on hand, will be adequate to fund capital expenditures which will not be reimbursed by tenants, other than non-recurring capital expenditures. Capital for major expenditures or redevelopments has been, and is expected to continue to be, obtained from equity or debt financings. The Company believes that it will have access to the capital necessary to expand its business in accordance with its strategies for growth and maximizing Funds from Operations. The Company presently intends to obtain additional capital necessary to expand its business through a combination of additional equity offerings and debt financings. The Company's total outstanding mortgage loan indebtedness at June 30, 1996 was $571.6 million (including its pro rata share of joint venture debt). This equated to a debt to Total Market Capitalization (defined as total debt of the Operating Partnership, including its pro rata share of joint venture debt, plus aggregate market value of outstanding shares of common stock, assuming full conversion of OP Units into stock) rate of 46.5% at June 30, 1996. Such debt consists primarily of conventional mortgages payable secured by individual properties. In connection with $65 million of the Company's floating rate indebtedness, the Company has entered into interest rate protection agreements that limit the Company's exposure to increases in interest rates. The Company has a shelf registration to sell securities consisting of $136.6 million of common stock and common stock warrants. The Company has an unsecured line of credit to $50 million. The outstanding borrowings on the line of credit at June 30, 1996 were $29.5 million. At June 30, 1996 the Company had cash and cash equivalents available of $4.1 million. The Company increased its debt on Crossroads-OK, Green Tree and Salisbury by $15.3 million on April 16, 1996. The excess borrowings were used to repay a portion of the debt outstanding under the Company's bank line of credit and for general corporate purposes. Also, under the credit facility the Company has available $10.0 million of notes that can be issued. 18 THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company) Funds From Operations The Company believes that the most significant measure of its performance is Funds from Operations ("FFO"). FFO is defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") to be: Net income, excluding gains (or losses) from debt restructuring and sales of property, plus depreciation and amortization of real property and after adjustments for Unconsolidatedjoint ventures. Adjustments for Unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Also, extraordinary items and significant non-recurring events are excluded from the FFO calculation. FFO does not represent cash flow from operations, as defined by generally accepted accounting principles, and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. The following reconciles net income to the FFO. Six months ended Three months ended June 30, June 30, 1996 1995 1996 1995 (amounts in thousands) Net income $8,713 $4,405 $4,312 $2,101 Adjustments to reconcile net income to FFO: Loss on early extinguishment of debt - 1,297 - 1,297 Extraordinary loss on sale of assets 315 - 315 - Minority interest 5,277 3,494 2,613 1,666 Depreciation and amortization on wholly owned properties 15,650 12,273 7,900 6,124 Less amortization of loan costs and depreciation of personal property (1,315) (1,871) (530) (981) Pro rata share of joint venture depreciation and amortization of real estate 932 951 365 468 Pro rata share of (gain) loss on sale of joint venture assets (54) (137) (20) (69) ------- ------- ------- ------- Total FFO 29,518 20,412 14,955 10,606 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- Weighted average number of shares outstanding, assuming full conversion of OP Units 32,095 25,781 32,105 25,781 ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- ------- -------
[TEXT] Included in minimum rents for the six months ended June 30, 1996 were $745,000 of rents attributable to the accounting practice of "straight lining of rents." This compares to $774,000 for the same period in 1995. 19 THE MACERICH COMPANY (The Company) Inflation In the last three years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company because of a relatively low inflation rate. Substantially all the leases at the Centers have rent adjustments periodically through the lease term. These rent increases are either in fixed increments or based on increases in the Consumer Price Index. In addition, many of the leases are for terms of less than ten years, which enables the Company to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rents if the rents of the existing leases are below the then existing market rate. Additionally, most of the leases require the tenants to pay their pro rata share of operating expenses. This reduces the Company's exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. 20 PART II Other Information Item 1 Legal Proceedings None Item 2 Changes in Securities None Item 3 Defaults Upon Senior Securities None Item 4 Submission of Matters to a Vote of Security Holders None Item 5 Other Information None Item 6 Exhibits and Reports on Form 8-K (a) Exhibits 27.
