Looking ahead, given our solid balance sheet and the significant capital availability within our fund platform, we are also well-positioned to opportunistically respond to opportunities that are beginning to form.”

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was $13 million, or $0.15 per share inclusive of $3 million, or $0.04 per share, attributable to an aggregate gain on dispositions of Fund properties which was partially offset by our proportionate share of aggregate impairment and other charges of $2 million, or $0.03 per share, consisting primarily of transaction costs related to the sale of a Fund property. Net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $6 million, or $0.08 per share, reflecting the negative effect of $4 million and $3 million, or $0.05 and $0.04 per share, of retirement-related and acquisition fee expenses, respectively.

Net income attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $41 million or $0.48 per share inclusive of $7 million, or $0.08 per share, attributable to an aggregate gain on dispositions of Fund properties which was partially offset by our proportionate share of aggregate impairment and other charges of $2 million, or $0.03 per share, consisting primarily of transaction costs related to the sale of a Fund property. Net income attributable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 was $53 million, or $0.71 per share, which included $19 million, or $0.27 per share, of gain from two Fund property dispositions.

FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2017 was $33 million, or $0.37 per share. This compares to FFO for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 of $23 million, or $0.27 per share, which reflects the effect of $4 million and $3 million, or $0.05 and $0.04 per share, of retirement-related and acquisition fee expenses, respectively.

FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $102 million, or $1.14 per share, which was net of $0.4 million of acquisition costs. This compares to FFO for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 of $83 million, or $1.05 per share, net of $4 million, or $0.05 per share, of acquisition fee expenses.

CORE PORTFOLIO

Core Operating Results

Consistent with forecast, same-property NOI growth in the Core Portfolio was 0.0% for the quarter ended September 30, 2017, compared to 2016, excluding redevelopment activities. The Company is revising and tightening its full year same property NOI growth from a previous range of 0.0% to 2.0% to 0.0% to 1.0%, primarily relating to a slower-than-initially-anticipated leasing velocity.

The Core Portfolio was 94.2% occupied and 95.0% leased as of September 30, 2017, compared to 95.0% occupied and 95.2% leased as of June 30, 2017. The leased rate includes space that is leased but not yet occupied.

During the quarter, the Company generated a 14.1% increase in average rents on a GAAP basis, and a 6.8% increase on a cash basis, on 15 new and renewal leases aggregating approximately 61,000 square feet.

FUND PLATFORM

Fund Acquisitions

Through September 30, 2017, the Company has completed $141 million of Fund acquisitions, including $70 million completed during third quarter 2017 as follows:

Hickory Ridge, Hickory, NC (Fund V). In July 2017, Fund V acquired a 381,000 square foot power center in Hickory, NC, 60 miles northwest of Charlotte, for $44 million. The property is 99% occupied and anchored by Kohl's, Dick's Sporting Goods, TJ Maxx and Old Navy. This investment is consistent with the Fund platform’s high-yield opportunistic strategy.

New Towne Plaza, Canton, MI (Fund V). In August 2017, Fund V acquired a 187,000 square foot suburban shopping center in Canton, MI, 30 miles west of Detroit, for $26 million. The property is 96% leased and anchored by Kohl's, Jo-Ann Fabrics, DSW and Ulta. This investment is consistent with the Fund platform’s high-yield opportunistic strategy.

Fund Dispositions

Through September 30, 2017, the Company has completed $106 million of Fund dispositions, including $53 million completed during third quarter 2017 as follows:

New Hyde Park Shopping Center, New Hyde Park, NY (Fund III). As previously discussed, in July 2017, Fund III completed the sale of New Hyde Park Shopping Center, a 32,000-square foot retail strip center in New Hyde Park, NY, for $22 million. This compares to an all-in cost basis of $18 million. During its 5.5-year hold period, the fund recaptured and re-tenanted a 16,000-square foot, below-market Annie Sez with PetSmart and Chop’t, completed a façade renovation, and executed new small-shop leases with Smashburger, European Wax Center, and Club Pilates. This sale generated a 14% IRR and 1.6x multiple on the fund’s equity investment.

216^th St, New York, NY (Fund II). In September 2017, Fund II completed the sale of 216th St (4055 10th Ave), a newly-built, single-tenant office building in the Inwood section of northern Manhattan, for $31 million.This compares to an all-in cost basis of $28 million. During its 11.8-year hold period, the fund created steady, long-term cash flows by redeveloping this site and executing a long-term lease with a New York City agency. The property also has a rooftop parking lot. This sale generated a 15% IRR and 3.3x multiple on the fund’s equity investment.

In October 2017, the Company completed $106 million of Fund dispositions as follows:

7 Dekalb (City Point Residential Tower 1), Brooklyn, NY (Fund II). In October 2017, Fund II, in partnership with Washington Square Partners and BFC Partners, completed the sale of 7 Dekalb (City Point’s Residential Tower 1) in Brooklyn, NY for $96 million to the Brodsky Organization. 7 Dekalb has 23 stories and 250 apartments, of which 200 are affordable units for low-income and middle-income tenants. At exit, the property was fully leased. In mid-2010, Fund II and Washington Square Partners (collectively, the “City Point JV”) opportunistically acquired all of City Point’s residential component, totaling 1.1 million square feet of development rights. 7 Dekalb is the last of three towers sold by the City Point JV.

Broughton St Collection (4* of 23 properties), Savannah, GA (Fund IV). In October 2017, Fund IV completed the sale of four properties in its Broughton St Collection in Savannah, GA for $10 million. The total Broughton St Collection contains 23 properties and approximately 200,000 square feet of retail, residential, and office space. The four sold properties total 17,000 square feet and are 100% occupied; Vineyard Vines, L’Occitane, and Savannah Taphouse are the key retail tenants.

*301 W Broughton St, 103 W Broughton St, 101 W Broughton St and 125 E Broughton St

Acadia does not report return metrics for partial sales of its investments.

The Fund platform also has $29 million of dispositions under contract (the “Pending Disposition Amount”). As the Pending Disposition Amount is subject to customary closing conditions, no assurance can be given that the Company will successfully close on the Pending Disposition Amount.

Fund Promote

During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company generated $1.0 million ($0.01 per share) of net promote income from Fund III including $0.4 million recognized during the third quarter.

BALANCE SHEET

The Company did not issue any equity during 2017.

GUIDANCE

The Company is tightening its full year 2017 guidance for FFO per share from a previous range of $1.44 to $1.54 to a revised range of $1.45 to $1.49, primarily to reflect the reduced acquisition volumes in its core and fund businesses, as well as projected early repayments of structured finance investments. Similarly, it is revising its full-year earnings per share guidance from a range of $0.58 to $0.63 to a revised range of $0.50 to $0.55. The guidance is before any acquisition-related costs, and gains/losses on sale or impairment of depreciated and non-operating properties.

Notes to Financial Highlights:


(a)	For additional information and analysis concerning the Company’s results of operations, reference is made to the Company’s Quarterly Supplemental Disclosure furnished on Form 8-K to the SEC and included on the Company’s website at www.acadiarealty.com.

(b)

Diluted earnings per share reflects the potential dilution that could occur if securities or other contracts to issue Common Shares were exercised or converted into Common Shares. The effect of the conversion of Common OP Units is not reflected in the above table as they are exchangeable for Common Shares on a one-for-one basis. The income allocable to such units is allocated on the same basis and reflected as noncontrolling interests in the consolidated financial statements. As such, the assumed conversion of these units would have no net impact on the determination of diluted earnings per share.

(c)

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. FFO and NOI are presented to assist investors in analyzing the performance of the Company. They are helpful as they exclude various items included in net income that are not indicative of the operating performance, such as gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, depreciation and amortization, and impairment of depreciable real estate. In addition, NOI excludes interest expense. The Company’s method of calculating FFO and NOI may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. FFO does not represent cash generated from operations as defined by generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash needs, including distributions. It should not be considered as an alternative to net income for the purpose of evaluating the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Consistent with the NAREIT definition, the Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (losses) from sales of depreciated property, plus depreciation and amortization, impairment of depreciable real estate, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

(d)

In addition to the weighted-average Common Shares outstanding, basic and diluted FFO also assume full conversion of a weighted-average 4,737 thousand and 4,343 thousand OP Units into Common Shares for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and 4,749 thousand and 4,422 thousand OP Units into Common Shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Diluted FFO also includes: (i) the assumed conversion of Preferred OP Units into 512 thousand and 25 thousand Common Shares for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and 507 thousand and 428 thousand Common Shares for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively; and (ii) the effect of 51 thousand and 346 thousand employee share options, restricted share units and LTIP units for the quarters ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 and 77 thousand and 239 thousand for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


(e)	The Pro-rata portion share of NOI is based upon our stated ownership percentages in each operating agreement. Does not include the Operating Partnership's share of NOI from unconsolidated joint ventures within the Funds
