Primary Factors Affecting Financial Results for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2023 and 2022

• Net loss attributable to PREIT common shareholders was $63.9 million (which takes into consideration the accrual of preferred dividends that accumulated during the quarter but have not been paid), or $(12.00) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2023, compared to net loss attributable to PREIT common shareholders of $77.2 million, or $(14.52) per basic and diluted share for the three months ended September 30, 2022.
• Funds from Operations decreased in the three months ended September 30, 2023 compared to the prior year period primarily due to higher interest expense.
• FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2023 was $(5.33) per diluted share and OP Unit compared to $(1.13) per diluted share and OP Unit for the three months ended September 30, 2022.

Liquidity and Financing Activities

As of September 30, 2023, the Company had $30.6 million available under its First Lien Revolving Credit Facility. The Company’s corporate cash balances, when combined with available credit, provide total liquidity of $38.6 million. The Company’s Credit Facilities, with a balance of $1,118.8 million as of September 30, 2023, mature on December 10, 2023.  The Company, through its advisors, has engaged in discussions and negotiations with certain members of a lender group under its Credit Agreements with respect to a potential restructuring transaction. These discussions have included negotiations of the terms and conditions of a financial restructuring. Although the Company and the members of the lender group are working toward an agreement on certain terms and conditions of a restructuring, there can be no assurance that the parties will reach a binding agreement regarding terms of a restructuring in a timely manner, on terms that are attractive to the Company, or at all.

During the third quarter, the Company repaid the mortgage loan secured by Dartmouth Mall using funds from its First Lien Revolving Credit Facility.

2023 Outlook

The Company is not issuing detailed guidance at this time.
