CORE PRINCIPLESConSeRvative leveRage RioCan takes a measured approach to leverage and maintains a strong Balance Sheet with solid coverage metrics.

laddeRed MatuRitieS To avoid the fluctuations of debt markets, RioCan has

laddered its debt maturities to reduce interest rate risk and to manage the amount of debt maturing in any

given year.

diveRSiFied tenant PRoFile To ensure the stability of the Trust, RioCan’s revenue sources are derived from more than 7,600 individual tenants.

StRength in ManageMent From the beginning, RioCan has maintained a consistant vision and philosophy. The management team is comprised of well seasoned and experienced professionals.

StaggeRing oF leaSe MatuRitieS RioCan has staggered its lease maturities to provide additional

security from market fluctuations and to reduce the risk that any single tenant or lease expiry will have a material

impact on its business.

StaBle PRoPeRtY tYPeS and tenantSRioCan has focused on stable sectors, such as grocery, that will withstand the highs and lows of the marketplace. Furthermore, stability is provided by a large proportion of anchor and national tenants, which combined generate more then 86% of RioCan’s rental revenue.

geogRaPhiC diveRSiFiCation RioCan is strategically positioned in Canada’s major population

centres and owns a growing portfolio in the US. In fact, two-thirds of the Trust’s Canadian rental revenue is derived from Canada’s

six major markets, which include Calgary and Edmonton, Alberta, Vancouver, British Columbia, Toronto and the greater

Ottawa region, Ontario, and Montreal, Quebec.

This MD&A has been prepared with an effective date of February 12, 2014 and should be read in conjunction with the auditedannual consolidated financial statements and appended notes for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 (2013 AnnualFinancial Statements). These documents, as well as additional information relating to RioCan, including RioCan’s annualinformation form (AIF), can be accessed at www.riocan.com and at www.sedar.com. Certain comparative amounts have beenreclassified to conform to the current year’s presentation.

The Trust’s Audit Committee has reviewed this document and, prior to its release, the RioCan Board of Trustees (Board ofTrustees) approved it, on the Audit Committee’s recommendation.

Forward-Looking Information

Certain information included in this MD&A contains forward-looking information within the meaning of applicable Canadian securitieslaws. This information includes, but is not limited to, statements made in “About RioCan”, “2013 Highlights”, “Outlook and Strategy”,“Asset Profile”, “Capital Strategy and Resources”, and other statements concerning RioCan’s objectives, its strategies to achieve thoseobjectives, as well as statements with respect to management’s beliefs, plans, estimates, and intentions, and similar statementsconcerning anticipated future events, results, circumstances, performance or expectations that are not historical facts. Forward-lookinginformation generally can be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “outlook”, “objective”, “may”, “will”, “would”,“expect”, “intend”, “estimate”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “should”, “plan”, “continue”, or similar expressions suggesting future outcomes orevents. Such forward-looking information reflects management’s current beliefs and is based on information currently available tomanagement. All forward-looking information in this MD&A is qualified by these cautionary statements.

Forward-looking information is not a guarantee of future events or performance and, by its nature, is based on RioCan’s currentestimates and assumptions, which are subject to numerous risks and uncertainties, including those described under “Risks andUncertainties” in this MD&A which could cause actual events or results to differ materially from the forward-looking informationcontained in this MD&A. Those risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, those related to: liquidity and general marketconditions; tenant concentrations, occupancy levels and defaults; access to debt and equity capital; interest rates; joint ventures/partnerships; the relative illiquidity of real property; unexpected costs or liabilities related to acquisitions; construction; environmentalmatters; legal matters; reliance on key personnel and information systems; unitholder liability; income and indirect taxes; U.S.investment, property management and currency risk; and credit ratings.

RioCan currently qualifies as a real estate investment trust for tax purposes and intends to continue to qualify for future years. TheIncome Tax Act (Canada) contains provisions which potentially impose tax on publicly traded trusts which qualify as specified investmentflow-through entities (the SIFT Provisions). However, the SIFT Provisions do not impose tax on a publicly traded trust which qualifies as areal estate investment trust (REIT). Should RioCan no longer qualify as a REIT under the SIFT Provisions, certain statements contained inthis MD&A may need to be modified.

Other factors, such as general economic conditions, including interest rate and exchange rate fluctuations, may also have an effect onRioCan’s results of operations. Material factors or assumptions that were applied in drawing a conclusion or making an estimate set outin the forward-looking information may include, but are not limited to: a stable retail environment; relatively low and stable interest costs;a continuing trend toward land use intensification in high growth and urban markets; access to equity and debt capital markets to fund, atacceptable costs, future capital requirements and to enable the Trust to refinance debts as they mature; and the availability of investmentopportunities for growth in Canada and the U.S. For a description of additional risks that could cause actual results to materially differfrom management’s current expectations, see “Risks and Uncertainties” in this MD&A and “Risks and Uncertainties” in RioCan’s AIF.Although the forward-looking information contained in this MD&A is based upon what management believes are reasonable assumptions,there can be no assurance that actual results will be consistent with this forward-looking information. Certain statements included in thisMD&A may be considered “financial outlook” for purposes of applicable Canadian securities laws, and as such the financial outlook maynot be appropriate for purposes other than this MD&A. The forward-looking information contained in this MD&A is made as of the date ofthis MD&A, and should not be relied upon as representing RioCan’s views as of any date subsequent to the date of this MD&A.

Except as required by applicable law, management undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking information,whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

ABOUT RIOCAN

RioCan is an unincorporated “closed-end” trust governed by the laws of the Province of Ontario and constituted pursuant to adeclaration of trust dated November 30, 1993, as most recently amended and restated on June 5, 2013 (the Declaration). The Unitsare listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (TSX) under the symbol REI.UN. The Preferred Units, Series A and Preferred Units,Series C are listed on the TSX under the symbols REI.PR.A and REI.PR.C, respectively.

Business Overview

RioCan is Canada’s largest REIT, with a total enterprise value of approximately $13.8 billion as at December 31, 2013. RioCan ownsand manages Canada’s largest portfolio of shopping centres, with ownership interests in a portfolio of 340 retail properties inCanada and the United States (US) combined, including 16 under development, containing an aggregate of 81.7 million square feetas at December 31, 2013 (54.2 million square feet at RioCan’s interest).

RioCan’s Canadian portfolio, as of December 31, 2013, comprises 293 shopping centres, including grocery anchored, new formatretail, urban retail, mixed use, and non-grocery anchored centres. Of these properties, 197 are held through outright ownershipincluding three under development, while 96 centres including 13 under development are held through 22 joint venturearrangements. RioCan’s primary joint venture arrangements in Canada are with Allied Properties REIT (Allied), Canada PensionPlan Investment Board (CPPIB), Kimco Realty Corporation (Kimco), KingSett Capital (KingSett), Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc.(Tanger), and Trinity Development Group (Trinity). RioCan’s long-standing joint venture partner, Kimco, represents the Trust’slargest joint venture partnership, comprising ownership of 46 income properties and total assets of over $2.5 billion, on a 100%basis. For a further details on the Trust’s joint venture relationships, see section “Joint Venture and Partnership Activities.”

RioCan’s US portfolio, as of December 31, 2013, is comprised of 47 shopping centres, predominantly grocery anchored and newformat retail centres. All but one of these assets are owned and operated 100% by RioCan and the one centre is held through ajoint venture arrangement.

The Trust’s purpose is to deliver to its Unitholders stable and reliable cash distributions that increase over the long term. TheTrust accomplishes this goal by following a strategy of focusing on owning, operating, and developing (including redeveloping andintensifying) retail and mixed use real estate. RioCan has grown its business by using prudent strategies, core competencies,conservative financial leverage, long-term strategic partnerships and by adapting to trends in commercial real estate.

RioCan’s core strategy is the ownership and management of retail properties consisting of all retail formats. Its investmentstrategy is to focus on stable, lower risk, retail properties in either stable or high growth urban markets in order to create stableand, over time, growing cash flows from the property portfolio.

Due to RioCan’s focus on major urban markets, RioCan has significant opportunities to redevelop and intensify urban properties.These activities can significantly increase cash flows and value and generate capital through transaction gains where additionaldensity is created and sold.

The specific retail assets in which RioCan currently invests are:

• New format retail centres

New format retail centres (or power centres) are large aggregations of dominant retailers grouped together at high traffic andeasily accessible locations. These unenclosed campus-style centres are generally anchored by supermarkets and/or juniordepartment stores and may include entertainment (movie theatres and restaurants) and fashion components.

• Neighbourhood convenience unenclosed centres

Neighbourhood convenience unenclosed centres are generally supermarket and/or junior department store anchored shoppingcentres, typically comprising between 60,000 to 250,000 square feet of leasable area. Other tenants generally include drugstores, restaurants, banks and other service providers.

• Enclosed shopping centres

Enclosed shopping centres are generally large retail complexes containing stores, restaurants and other facilities with interiorcommon areas with access to all retail units. Typically these centres have one or more anchor tenants and are located close toor in larger population centres.

• Urban retail properties

Urban retail properties are high-quality, innovative, multi-level format retail centres located in major urban markets. Thecentres are situated in high-density locations and may sometimes be part of a multi-use complex, thereby including office spaceand/or a residential component as part of the property.

• Outlet shopping centres

RioCan’s joint venture arrangement with Tanger introduced the outlet shopping centre concept to RioCan’s portfolio. Outletshopping centres provide an opportunity for customers to purchase directly from the manufacturer at substantial savings.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RioCan and Tanger plan to develop a number of outlet centres across Canada. The planned outlet centres are expected to besimilar in concept and design to those within Tanger’s existing US portfolio, which are characterized by a tenant mix of leadingdesigner and brand-name manufacturers having a typical size of approximately 300,000 to 350,000 square feet. The locations of theplanned centres are intended to be within close proximity to larger urban markets and tourist areas across Canada.

PRESENTATION OF FINANCIAL INFORMATION AND NON-GAAP MEASURES

Presentation of Financial Information

Unless otherwise specified herein, financial results, including related historical comparatives, contained in this MD&A are basedon RioCan’s 2013 Annual Financial Statements, which have been prepared by management in accordance with InternationalFinancial Reporting Standards (IFRS) as issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB). The Canadian dollar isRioCan’s reporting currency for purposes of preparing the Trust’s 2013 Annual Financial Statements. Accordingly, all dollarreferences in this MD&A are in Canadian dollars, unless otherwise specified herein.

Non-GAAP Measures

Consistent with RioCan’s management framework, the Trust uses certain measures to assess its financial performance that arenot generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP) measured under IFRS. These measures do not have any standardizeddefinition prescribed by IFRS and are, therefore, unlikely to be comparable to similar measures presented by other reportingissuers. Non-GAAP measures should not be considered as alternatives to net earnings or comparable metrics determined inaccordance with IFRS as indicators of RioCan’s performance, liquidity, cash flows and profitability. RioCan’s management usesthese measures to aid in assessing the Trust’s underlying core performance and provides these additional measures so thatinvestors may do the same.

RioCan’s Interest

On January 1, 2013, RioCan changed its accounting policy for certain joint arrangements as required by IFRS 11, JointArrangements. As a result, effective January 1, 2013, the Trust no longer proportionately consolidates certain joint arrangementsand now accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting. Where applicable, prior period financialinformation has been restated for comparative reporting purposes to reflect this change in accounting policy. An analysis ofRioCan’s consolidated financial position and results of operations plus its interests in the equity accounted investments may befound under “2013 Change in Accounting Policy” on page 5 of this MD&A. All references herein to “consolidated” refer to amountsas reported under IFRS. All references to “RioCan’s interest” refer to a non-GAAP financial measure presented representingRioCan’s proportionate share of the financial position and results of operations of its entire portfolio, taking into account thedifference in accounting for joint ventures using proportionate consolidation versus equity accounting. For a reconciliation of theTrust’s results of operations and statement of financial position, refer to pages 30 through 35 of this MD&A. Further, it should benoted that as of December 31, 2013, as a result of the dissolution of its primary US joint ventures (JV’s), the Trust only has tworemaining joint arrangements qualifying for equity accounting treatment.

Funds From Operations (FFO)

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance widely used by the real estate industry. Congruent with the RealProperty Association of Canada’s (REALpac) intended use of FFO, RioCan considers FFO to be a meaningful measure of operatingperformance as it adjusts for items included in IFRS net earnings that do not necessarily provide an accurate picture of the Trust’spast or recurring performance, such as unrealized changes in the fair value of real estate property, gains and losses on thedisposal of income properties, acquisition and disposition transaction costs and other non-cash items.

FFO should not be construed as an alternative to net earnings or cash flows provided by operating activities determined inaccordance with IFRS. RioCan’s method of calculating FFO is in accordance with REALpac’s recommendations but may differ fromother issuers’ methods and, accordingly, may not be comparable to FFO reported by other issuers.

A reconciliation of FFO to IFRS net earnings (excluding the impact of the adoption of IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements), can be foundunder “Results of Operations.”

Operating Funds From Operations (Operating FFO)

Operating FFO is a non-GAAP measure of operating performance representing the recurring cash flow generated through theownership and management of income properties. In addition to the adjusting items to arrive at FFO, Operating FFO also excludestransaction gains and losses (net of tax) as well as expenditures related to development activities that, in management’s view, formpart of the costs of its development projects. There is no standard industry-defined measure of Operating FFO. As such, RioCan’smethod of calculating Operating FFO will differ from other issuers’ methods and, accordingly, will not be comparable to suchamounts reported by other issuers. Please see “Results of Operations” for a calculation of Operating FFO.

Adjusted Funds From Operations (AFFO)

AFFO is a non-GAAP financial measure of operating performance widely used in the real estate industry. Management views AFFOas an alternative measure of cash generated from operations. AFFO is calculated by adjusting Operating FFO for straight-line rent

17RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Page 22: focused on the€¦ · focused on the RIOCAN FINANCIAL ANNuAL RepORt 20_13. RIOCAN FINANCIAL Annual Report 20 13 2-3 taBle oF ContentS 1_Property Portfolio 14_Financial Review –

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

adjustments, non-cash compensation expenses, normalized costs for capital expenditures and productive capacity maintenanceexpenditures, which include leasing costs for maintaining shopping centres and current lease revenues.

Productive capacity maintenance can vary widely from quarter to quarter due to the lease expiry profile, vacancies and capitalexpenditure estimates due to the life cycle of the property resulting in volatility in AFFO. As well, the Trust reviews capitalmaintenance spending levels based on the performance of the portfolio. For these reasons, normalized capital maintenanceexpenditures have been estimated based on historical activity and management’s expectations on a normalized level of activity.Productive capacity maintenance expenditures are further discussed in “Capital Expenditures on Income Properties” indicating theTrust’s expectation of such annualized expenditures.

In addition, non-recurring costs that impact operating cash flow may be adjusted. There is no standard industry-defined measureof AFFO. As such, RioCan’s method of calculating AFFO will differ from other issuers’ methods and, accordingly, will not becomparable to such amounts reported by other issuers. Please see “Results of Operations” for a calculation of AFFO.

Adjusted Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (Adjusted EBITDA)

Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP measure that is used as an input in several of the Trust’s debt metrics, providing information withrespect to certain financial ratios that the Trust uses in measuring its debt profile and assessing the Trust’s ability to satisfy itsobligations, including servicing its debt. Adjusted EBITDA is used in place of IFRS net earnings because it excludes major non-cashitems, interest expense, acquisition related costs, and other items that management considers non-operating in nature. Pleasesee “Capital Strategy and Resources - Capital Structure” for a reconciliation of Adjusted EBITDA to IFRS net earnings and the debtmetrics that utilize Adjusted EBITDA.

Adjusted Unitholders’ Equity

Adjusted Unitholders’ Equity is a non-GAAP financial measure defined in RioCan’s Declaration as the amount of unitholders’ equityplus the amount of accumulated amortization of income properties recorded by the Trust, calculated in accordance with IFRS.Under IFRS, RioCan accounts for investment property at fair value and, therefore, this is no longer a required adjustment tounitholders’ equity.

Net Operating Income (NOI)

NOI is defined by RioCan as rental revenue from income properties less property operating costs. NOI is an important measure ofthe income generated from the income producing real estate portfolio and is used by the Trust in evaluating the performance ofthe portfolio, as well as a key input in determining the value of the portfolio. RioCan’s method of calculating NOI may differ fromother issuers’ methods and, accordingly, may not be comparable to NOI reported by other issuers.

Same Store NOI

Same-store NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure defined by RioCan to report the period-over-period performance of the sameasset base having consistent leasable area in both periods, which includes the impact of acquisitions and dispositions on a pro-ratabasis. To calculate same store NOI growth, NOI for the period is adjusted to remove the impact of straight-line rents, leasecancellation fees, foreign exchange and other non-recurring items.

Same Property NOI

Same property NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that is consistent with the definition of same-store NOI above, except thatsame property includes the NOI impact of redevelopments.

2013 CHANGE IN ACCOUNTING POLICY

During the first quarter of 2013, RioCan changed its accounting policy for certain joint arrangements as required by the newstandard IFRS 11 “Joint Arrangements”. As a result, the Trust no longer proportionately consolidates certain joint arrangementsand now accounts for these investments using the equity method of accounting in its interim and annual consolidated financialstatements.

The equity method of accounting results in a new line item on the consolidated balance sheet entitled “Equity accountedinvestments and joint ventures” representing RioCan’s share of the assets less liabilities of the equity accounted joint ventures aswell as other investments accounted for using the equity method. As well, the Statement of Earnings presents a new line itementitled “Share of net earnings in equity accounted investments and joint ventures” representing RioCan’s share of the netearnings of the equity accounted investees and joint ventures. Where applicable, prior period financial information has beenrestated for comparative reporting purposes to reflect this change in accounting policy.

See section “Results of Operations” for a reconciliation of consolidated net earnings as reported under IFRS to consolidated netearnings reported at RioCan’s Interest for Q4 2013, Q4 2012, 2013 and 2012.

Net earnings attributable to unitholders

Q4 2013

Consolidated net earnings attributable to common and preferred unitholders for the fourth quarter of 2013 was $265 millioncompared to $468 million for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $203 million. This decrease was primarily due to thefollowing:

• lower fair value gains of $189 million. On a proportionate consolidation basis, fair value gains would be lower by $212 million;

• transaction gains are lower by $7 million largely due to a distribution resulting from the sale of a Toronto development propertyin the Whitecastle New Urban Fund (WCNUF I) in which RioCan has an interest, as well as the sale of certain marketablesecurities held as a portfolio investment;

• lower share of earnings on investments in equity accounted joint ventures of $26 million. On a proportionate consolidation basis,earnings from joint ventures would be favourable by $2 million; less

• lower transaction costs of $2 million, including a $4 million realized foreign currency gain on the disposition of certain USequity-accounted investments;

• increased operating income of $18 million due to the following: increased income as a result of acquisitions, net of dispositions,Canadian and US same property growth and the completion of greenfield developments. On a proportionate consolidation basis,operating income would be favourable by $9 million.

Consolidated net fair value gains on investment property for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $136 million, as compared to$325 million for the same period in 2012. Capitalization rates for the portfolio for the fourth quarter of 2013 remained flat onaverage, as compared to the third quarter of 2013.

Excluding the impact of fair value gains on investment properties, net earnings for the fourth quarter of 2013 were $130 million ascompared to $147 million during the same period in 2012.

2013

Consolidated net earnings attributable to common and preferred unitholders for the year ended December 31, 2013 was$709 million compared to $1,344 million for the same period in 2012, a decrease of $635 million. This decrease was primarily dueto:

• reduced fair value gains of $647 million. On a proportionate consolidation basis, fair value gains would be unfavourable by $670million;

• reduced share of earnings of investments in equity accounted joint ventures of $37 million. On a proportionate consolidationbasis, earnings from joint ventures would be unfavourable by $8 million;

• transaction gains are lower by $8 million largely due to a Q4 2012 distribution resulting from the sale of a Toronto developmentproperty in the WCNUF I in which RioCan has an interest as well as the sale of certain marketable securities held as a portfolioinvestment;

• increased fees and other income of $2 million largely due to overall increases in development activity with joint venture partnersyear over year;

• higher disposition related transaction costs of $3 million, including a $4 million realized foreign currency gain on the dispositionof certain US equity-accounted investments;

• higher general and administrative costs of $5 million mainly due to higher unit-based compensation, a favourable sales taxrecovery in 2012 that did not recur in the current period, and higher costs related to the US platform that was established duringthe year;

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

• early debt redemption costs of $12 million in 2013 related to the repayment of RioCan’s Series M senior unsecured debentures;partially offset by

• increased operating income of $53 million from rental properties as a result of acquisitions, net of dispositions, Canadian andUS same property growth, the completion of greenfield developments and lower lease cancelation fees. Excluding the impact ofthe change in accounting treatment for certain US properties acquired in full, operating income would be favourable by$44 million;

• reduced share of earnings attributable to non-controlling interests of $11 million primarily resulting from the 2012 minorityinterest in its joint venture with Cedar for nine months prior to RioCan’s buyout of Cedar’s stake; and

• prior year impairment charges of $12 million related to RioCan’s Cedar investment.

Consolidated net fair value gains on investment property for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $221 million, as compared to$868 million for the same period in 2012. Capitalization rates for the portfolio for 2013 decreased by 10 basis points, on average, ascompared to the year ended 2012.

Excluding the impact of fair value gains on investment properties, net earnings for the year ended December 31, 2013 were $493million as compared to $491 million during the same period in 2012.

The $8 million increase in Operating FFO at RioCan’s interest for the fourth quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period in2012 is primarily due to the following:

• an increase in NOI from rental properties of $10 million, which includes the impact of the following items: increases in rentalincome as a result of acquisitions, net of dispositions, same store growth of 2.7% for Canada and 1.7% for the US portfolio andthe completion of greenfield developments; partially offset by

• higher general and administrative costs of $1 million primarily due to a favourable GST tax recovery in 2012.

• $3 million of increased other revenue due to higher fees as a result of increased development activity with joint venturepartners; partially offset by

• higher general and administrative costs of $5 million mainly due to higher unit-based compensation, a favourable sales taxrecovery in 2012, and higher costs related to the US platform.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The increased amounts, reduced costs and the extended maturity dates for RioCan’s lines will provide an efficient and flexiblesource of liquidity for the Trust.

As at December 31, 2013, the Trust’s debt strategy has resulted in approximately 18.7% of its income properties beingunencumbered by debt on a NLA basis, providing RioCan with access to a pool of assets for obtaining additional secured debt. Thefair value of the unencumbered income property assets as of December 31, 2013 is estimated at approximately $1.8 billion,comprising 86 properties, or 14.5% of the fair value of the Trust’s income properties as compared to 81 properties with a fair valueof $1.4 billion as at December 31, 2012. In addition to the unencumbered income property assets, the Trust has 17 unencumberedproperties under development with a fair value of $261 million as at December 31, 2013, bringing the total fair value ofunencumbered assets to approximately $2.1 billion.

Equity Capital

On July 25, 2013, the TSX approved the RioCan’s notice of intention to make an NCIB commencing August 3, 2013, pursuant towhich RioCan purchased for cancellation 917,700 common trust Units during the third quarter at an aggregate cost of$22.1 million, representing an average price per Unit of $24.03.

RioCan’s DRIP ratio is defined as the ratio of Units which elect to participate in the DRIP. The Trust raised additional capital of$28 million and reported a DRIP ratio of 25.6% for the quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2013, RioCan raised additionalcapital of $110 million and reported a DRIP ratio of 25.8% (2012-26.9%).

OUTLOOK & STRATEGY

RioCan’s strong operating performance and access to capital coupled with its measured US initiative has facilitated its continuedgrowth and positioning as a leading North American REIT with a retail focus. RioCan’s prudent management of its balance sheethas provided it with the ability to take advantage of the growth that accompanies a recovering economic environment throughsame store rental income growth, acquisitions, greenfield development, redevelopments and asset intensification. RioCanconducts these activities either on its own or through strategic joint venture relationships. RioCan will continue to seekacquisitions in selected markets, with a focus on properties that meet the Trust’s investment criteria in both Canada and the US.RioCan will also seek selected dispositions of properties in order to recycle capital into high growth major markets. The Trust willcontinue to pursue a disciplined approach to the development of new properties in Canada with a focus on major urban markets.

The current economy remains stable and while the outlook for the economy remains cautious due to the slower than expectedeconomic recovery in both the US and Canada, management believes that RioCan is well positioned with a strong balance sheet,liquidity and large operational platform, providing the ability to take advantage of opportunities as they arise. The acquisitionmarket is very competitive while RioCan continues to have strong access to capital. Demand from tenants is steady and continuesto put upward pressure on rental rates, particularly in major markets. The expansion of US and international retailers into Canadaand the repositioning of Canadian retailers in reaction to added competition is creating demand for space. Retailers are, however,moving into the Canadian market cautiously and are very selective in their location decisions. The recent volatility in interest ratesand equity values has created uncertainty in the debt and equity markets. RioCan will continue to monitor both the economy andreal estate markets with a view to ensuring it has adequate access to capital, either by way of equity, debt, or selected assetdispositions to meet its business requirements and maximize opportunities that may become available to it.

In addition to growth generated by acquisitions, RioCan’s growth is expected to continue to come from organic growth from withinthe portfolio, asset intensification and development in Canada. RioCan is committed to remaining focused on its portfolio in orderto preserve high occupancy levels through the active management and leasing in order to maintain a stable stream of cash flowsfrom long term assets which increase in value. The focus on active management led to RioCan’s decision to establish its ownmanagement platform in the US.

Overall, RioCan believes that it is well positioned in the marketplace, due to the depth of its management team, its size, as well asits diversified and stable portfolio, significant development pipeline, solid tenant base, flexible capital structure, and conservativeborrowing practices.

For the remainder of 2014:

Canada

• Fundamentals in retail real estate in Canada are expected to remain steady. The Canadian market benefits from concentratedretail tenants who generally are financially strong, and a low level of development activity that is unlikely to support a supplyimbalance. These factors should support a market in which RioCan can maintain pricing power as a greater number of tenantscompete for prime locations.

• The Trust will continue to review its portfolio with a view towards selective dispositions of properties where appropriate as afurther means of raising and re-cycling capital. One of the objectives of the Trust is to increase its weighting in the six majormarkets in Canada. The Trust evaluates the sale of selected assets as part of a process of actively managing its portfolio and ameans of increasing the portfolio weighting to the six major markets in Canada, which was 71.7% of revenue as at December 31,2013.

Page 35: focused on the€¦ · focused on the RIOCAN FINANCIAL ANNuAL RepORt 20_13. RIOCAN FINANCIAL Annual Report 20 13 2-3 taBle oF ContentS 1_Property Portfolio 14_Financial Review –

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

• The Trust expects to realize organic growth from within the portfolio by way of contractual rental increases in existing leases,additional rental income that can be achieved from positive rental spreads on lease renewals and the potential for positiveabsorption in occupancy.

• Retail consolidation of Loblaws and Shoppers Drug Mart is not expected to have a significant impact on RioCan’s businessoperations in the short and medium term.

• The trend of selected US retailers entering the Canadian market is expected to improve retail fundamentals and drive rentappreciation as they compete for space in desirable locations.

US

• RioCan has established a management operating platform in the US operating out of offices in Mount Laurel, New Jersey andDallas, Texas to manage the Trust’s assets that were previously managed by RioCan’s partners. RioCan’s operating platform inthe US is expected to provide a basis for RioCan to expand its reach in the US and provide the ability to realize additionaleconomies of scale as the portfolio grows.

Macro Economic and Market Trends

• The Trust is closely monitoring the impact of the weakening Canadian dollar relative to the US dollar on its business. In the nearterm we do not expect any significant impact other than the translation impact on US earnings and its net US dollar denominatedassets.

• Interest expense savings derived from refinancing at current market interest rates are anticipated to continue due to the lowinterest rate environment, which is expected to remain in 2014, although these opportunities have been reduced somewhat bythe recent volatility in interest rates.

• The Trust will continue to monitor the impact of online retail sales. RioCan believes that consumer trends will be towardsgreater sales in enclosed malls and shopping centers. As well, it is anticipated that there will be a higher proportion of salesgenerated from services versus products. Further, it is expected that existing retail models will be adapted to integrated salesdepots for online sales. RioCan is well positioned for these trends based upon the depth and breadth of its portfolio, especially inurban markets. Grocery stores have been typically resilient against online sales and due to RioCan’s strong portfolio of groceryanchored centres, the impacts are less severe.

Development Program

• Developments completed during 2013 along with future developments, are expected to contribute to operating FFO growth.Strong fundamentals arising from growth in certain cities with strong economic and population growth (Greater Toronto Areaand Calgary) and new retailers entering Canada will allow RioCan to increase its development activities. RioCan’s joint venturewith Tanger for the development of outlet shopping centres in Canada and RioCan’s urban focused joint venture with Alliedfurther expand the potential development and intensification opportunities available across multiple retail formats.

• Going forward, substantial activity and growth will be seen through a variety of formats in development and redevelopment ofexisting properties. Overall development spending, at RioCan’s interest, in the next five to seven years will range from $100 to$200 million per year. RioCan’s development pipeline is expected to add approximately 10.5 million square feet (4.9 millionsquare feet at RioCan’s interest) of space upon completion over the next six years, with the majority of yields ranging from 7% to11%. RioCan is committed to property development and redevelopment opportunities and is focused on completing thedevelopment pipeline currently underway. Development activity is primarily concentrated in the six high growth markets inCanada and serves as an important component of RioCan’s organic growth strategy. The markets of Toronto and Calgary havebeen a principal focus for development and intensification efforts where strong economic and population growth have affordedRioCan the opportunity to increase its development activity.

• In addition to RioCan’s development program, the Trust contributes to portfolio growth through the intensification of existingproperties where RioCan has identified strategic opportunities to increase density or add to an existing asset. This intensificationof existing properties contributes to NOI growth in an efficient manner, leveraging the existing asset base.

• The Trust has potential development opportunities on existing sites with excess density and/or expansion capability. Based uponmarket and population trends, RioCan will evaluate such opportunities.

Acquisitions

• RioCan has noted that there is currently greater competition for acquisitions as more investors have returned to the market.Despite an increasingly competitive acquisition market, good leveraged returns and an accretive environment for buildingRioCan’s portfolio continue to exist as interest rates have remained at relatively low levels. Management will continue tomaintain a disciplined approach to evaluating acquisition opportunities, while perhaps not at the same pace as the previousthree years. Management believes that RioCan will be able to take advantage of its strong balance sheet and reputation as areliable buyer to acquire real estate in both the Canadian and US markets notwithstanding the increased competition forpotential investment opportunities. At the present time, the opportunities are more likely to arise in the US market.

• The Trust has selected two geographic areas of focus for acquisitions – the northeastern US and the four major urban marketsin Texas (Dallas-Fort Worth, Houston, Austin and San Antonio), which offer a complementary mix of tenants to RioCan’sCanadian portfolio of largely nationally branded tenants.

Page 36: focused on the€¦ · focused on the RIOCAN FINANCIAL ANNuAL RepORt 20_13. RIOCAN FINANCIAL Annual Report 20 13 2-3 taBle oF ContentS 1_Property Portfolio 14_Financial Review –

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

• RioCan will continue its focus on the enclosed mall and urban retail segment, particularly in major markets, as a means ofleveraging its retail tenant base across Canada. There are additional opportunities for organic growth within the acquiredshopping centres, which RioCan believes it can realize with its deep infrastructure and management strength.

• The acquisitions that have been completed during the past year, net of the impact of its dispositions program, will contribute toRioCan’s Operating FFO growth. Going forward, in the near term, RioCan anticipates slowing its pace of acquisitions.

Joint Venture Relationships

The Trust will continue to capitalize on the strength of its joint venture relationships in Canada to acquire property, enhanceRioCan’s development projects, and generate additional income for its unitholders pursuant to arrangements where RioCan earnsfees for its services. RioCan’s important strategic partnerships are with KingSett, Allied, Tanger, Trinity, Kimco, Allied/Diamondand CPPIB.

Capital Management Strategy

RioCan’s capital management framework limits the Trust’s maximum indebtedness to 60% of Aggregate Assets as defined by theDeclaration. RioCan remains focused on preserving a strong balance sheet and continuing to maintain substantial liquidity. Basedon the fair market value of its portfolio, its consolidated leverage ratio of 43.9% of Aggregate Assets is currently substantiallylower than the specified limit of 60%. Furthermore, RioCan believes it has sufficient unencumbered assets ($2.1 billion as ofDecember 31, 2013) and assets with low loan-to-value ratios that can be financed and/or refinanced to generate capital to meet itscapital requirements and grow its asset base. RioCan’s ability to access such financing is dependent on the availability of debt inthe market.

RioCan has developed other metrics regarding debt and leverage that are tracked and disclosed on a quarterly basis to helpfacilitate financial statement users’ and stakeholders’ understanding of RioCan’s leverage and its ability to service such leverage.These metrics include net debt to adjusted EBITDA ratio, debt service coverage ratio, interest coverage ratio, fixed charge coverageratio and unencumbered assets to unsecured debt which are outlined in the “Capital Strategy and Resources” section of thisMD&A.

While having relatively low debt leverage exposure is important, the quality of the rental revenue available to service the Trust’sdebt and pay distributions to unitholders is equally important. The Trust strives to reduce its exposure to rental revenue risk in theshopping centre portfolio through geographical diversification, staggered lease maturities, diversification of revenue sourcesresulting from a large tenant base, avoiding dependence on any single tenant by ensuring no individual tenant contributes asignificant percentage of its gross revenue and ensuring a considerable portion of its rental revenue is earned from national andanchor tenants. In addition, RioCan staggers its debt maturities to reduce its exposure to potential volatility in availability of debtand interest rate movements. RioCan is able to access multiple sources of capital including, but not limited to, secured andunsecured debt, preferred units and Units, to provide the Trust with greater flexibility in raising capital and to manage its overallcost of capital.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITYCorporate responsibility continues to be an area of focus for RioCan as it endeavours to maintain its role as one of Canada’scorporate leaders. RioCan’s corporate responsibility philosophy is based on three cornerstones: Environmental Responsibility,Corporate Philanthropy, and Responsibility to Employees.

Environmental Responsibility

RioCan continuously makes efficiency improvements in its property portfolio and works with its tenants to facilitate their energyconservation needs, which contribute to lowered emissions and reduced energy use. In addition, development projects are viewedthrough the lens of sustainable building with these factors being incorporated wherever possible. RioCan has worked with tenantsas they customize their space to include geothermal heating and cooling, waste water collection and lower carbon footprintinitiatives. RioCan has also taken specific initiatives at its properties to reduce waste, such as the installation of recyclingreceptacles to reduce the amount of waste generated at RioCan properties across Canada. At its head office location, the RioCanYonge Eglinton Centre, RioCan has taken a number of initiatives since acquiring the property to improve the efficiency andenvironmental footprint of the building. The property was BOMA BESt certified in 2009, and RioCan continues to upgrade theproperty’s efficiency. At its own offices, RioCan has undertaken a number of initiatives to reduce paper usage. RioCan hasexpanded its water and waste management strategies into the enclosed mall properties that it acquired in 2013, namely OakvillePlace and Burlington Mall. Through RioCan’s aggressive recycling and waste management programs it have been able to achieve awaste diversion rate in 2013 of approximately 93% at RioCan Yonge Eglinton Centre (as compared to 94% in 2012), 56% at RioCanSheppard Centre (as compared to 64%) and 57% at Georgian Mall (as compared to 64% in 2012). At its newly acquired enclosedmall properties in 2013, RioCan achieved a waste diversion rate of 84% at Oakville Place and 66% at Burlington Mall.

RioCan also strives to make each of its shopping centres a safe and integral part of its local community. Adequate lighting inparking lots, a clean environment and attentive staff all assist in providing a safe shopping environment in RioCan’s centres.RioCan has installed automated external defibrillators (AEDs) in many of RioCan’s enclosed shopping centres to provideemergency care in the event of a heart attack. An AED is a device that can monitor heart rhythms, and if necessary deliver anelectric shock to restore heart rhythm and potentially save lives.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Corporate Philanthropy

Corporate Philanthropy is a key facet of RioCan’s profile as a good corporate citizen and one that RioCan has always viewed as apriority. RioCan regularly sponsors a number of charitable organizations with a focus towards children’s and medical charities.RioCan views its participation in the community where it does business to be of great importance, whether it is through directfinancial contributions, the donation of space for use by charitable organizations, or through the donation of the time taken by itsemployees through volunteerism across Canada.

RioCan recognizes the importance of its dedication to the development of communities through civic involvement and the fundingof vital programs. RioCan believes that support in fundraising efforts returns long-lasting benefits to society, its employees, andthe Trust. In 2013, RioCan was a proud supporter of several non-profit organizations including the United Way, the Heart & StrokeFoundation, the Baycrest Foundation, the University Health Network, the Hospital for Sick Children, and Mount Sinai Hospital.

Responsibility to Employees

RioCan strives to provide its employees with a safe work environment, free from discrimination and harassment. RioCan has anumber of employee-focused initiatives that are designed to improve workplace satisfaction. These initiatives include developmentand education programs. RioCan also has a comprehensive Code of Conduct for all employees, which includes protections againstharassment and discrimination and provides guidelines for employee conduct including anti-bribery and fair dealing with RioCan’sstakeholders. Furthermore RioCan provides a Whistleblower hotline to provide employees with the ability to anonymously reportviolations of RioCan’s Code of Conduct.

OCCUPANCY

RioCan’s committed occupancy decreased to 96.9% as compared to 97.0% as at September 30, 2013 and 97.4% at December 31,2012. The current quarter decrease in committed occupancy over last quarter was primarily due to the expiry of an earnoutprovision with the vendor of Alamo Ranch in San Antonio, Texas in October 2013 and the subsequent assumption of 40,000 squarefeet of vacant space by RioCan at zero cost. Included in this occupancy rate is 542,000 square feet of NLA that has been leased butis not yet generating rent, resulting in an economic occupancy rate of 95.8%, which represents the occupied NLA for which tenantsare paying rent. The annualized rental impact once these tenants take occupancy and commence paying rent is approximately$14 million.

During the quarter, RioCan renewed 1,408,000 square feet in the Canadian portfolio at an average rent increase of $1.37 persquare foot, representing an increase of 8.8% and a renewal retention rate of 97.0%.

Tenant Vacancies and Recent Events

RioCan strives to diversify its tenant base by location, by property type, by anchor type and by minimizing the degree of reliance onany single tenant. In the regular course of business, RioCan will, however, encounter tenants that are subject to restructuring,insolvency or bankruptcy activities. In most cases, rental revenue continues to be paid to RioCan by, or on behalf of, the tenant.RioCan actively monitors such situations and, in those cases where vacancies result, RioCan endeavours to replace tenants asquickly as possible at economically similar or better lease terms.

(i) FFO is generally the same as IFRS net earnings other than excluding changes in the fair values of investment properties, deferred income taxes,acquisition transaction costs and deducting preferred unit distributions.

(ii) To calculate OFFO, the Trust adjusts for certain costs not capitalized during the development period for accounting purposes that, inmanagement’s view, forms part of the cost of its development projects.

(iii) AFFO is calculated by adjusting Operating FFO for straight-line rent adjustments, non-cash compensation expenses, costs for capitalexpenditures and leasing costs for maintaining shopping centre infrastructure and current lease revenues (productive capacity maintenance). Inaddition, non-recurring costs that impact operating cash flow may be adjusted. FFO amounts related to transactions gains and losses anddevelopment/redevelopment are also excluded from AFFO.

Net Operating Income – Rental Properties

NOI is defined by RioCan as rental revenue from income properties less property operating costs. RioCan’s method of calculatingNOI may differ from other issuers’ methods and, accordingly, may not be comparable to NOI reported by other issuers.

Rental revenue includes all amounts earned from tenants related to lease agreements, including property tax and operating costrecoveries, to the extent recoverable under tenant leases. Amounts payable by tenants to terminate their lease prior to thecontractual expiry date (lease cancellation fees) are included in rental revenue.

The change in same store NOI is the result of a combination of factors: contractual rent increases, lease renewals and netabsorption of existing space in the portfolio, which is a product of vacancies and the resultant new leasing.

For the three months ended December 31, 2013, same store and same property NOI increased 2.7% and 2.2%, respectively, whencompared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the following:

• increased NOI as a result of new leasing of approximately $3.6 million;

• renewals and rent steps increased NOI by $1.9 million; and

• re-leasing of space vacated due to bankruptcy and lease cancellations increased NOI by $1.9 million; partially offset by

• reduced NOI due to vacancy caused by normal course turnover of $3.0 million;

• NOI was reduced by $0.5 million from lease cancellations that have occurred in the last 12 months.

During the three months ended December 31, 2013, 164,000 square feet of developments were completed as compared to112,000 square feet during the same period of 2012.

For the three months ended December 31, 2013, lease cancellation fees relate primarily to Rona at RioCan Colossus Centre.Straight line rent in the current period also includes a $1.0 million charge related to the write-off of unamortized straight linerents pertaining to the Rona lease cancellation. Q4 2012 lease cancellation fees relate primarily to Zellers at various locations.

For the year ended December 31, 2013 same store and same property NOI increased by 1.7% and 1.3%, respectively whencompared to the same period in 2012, primarily due to the following:

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

On February 7, 2013, RioCan disposed of all its shares in Cedar for proceeds of US$48 million.

The transaction gains of $7.3 million in the fourth quarter of 2012 were primarily the result of proceeds from the sale of a Torontodevelopment property in WCNUF I in which RioCan has an interest and the sale of certain marketable securities held as a portfolioinvestment.

Interest Income

Interest income for the three months and year ended December 31, 2013 was $3.8 million and $14.0 million respectively, anincrease from the $3.2 million and $12.0 million in the same periods in 2012, due to higher mortgage receivable balances relatingto mezzanine financing for development activities.

(i) See “2013 Change in Accounting Policy” for a reconciliation to RioCan’s consolidated earnings.

The increase in total interest expense during the year ended December 31, 2013, compared to the same period in 2012, resultedprimarily from higher aggregate debt levels during 2013 largely due to increased acquisition activity net of dispositions, partlyoffset by interest savings resulting from refinancing maturing debt at lower interest rates. As at December 31, 2013, the weightedaverage interest rate of RioCan’s debt portfolio was 4.30%, a decrease of 36 basis points from the weighted average rate of 4.66%as at December 31, 2012.

Interest is capitalized to investment properties when they are considered to be in active development. The amounts capitalizedincreased as a result of increased development activity in 2013 as compared to 2012.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

(ii) See “2013 Change in Accounting Policy” for a reconciliation to RioCan’s consolidated earnings.“nm” – not meaningful

During the fourth quarter 2013, general and administrative expenses increased $1.2 million or 8% compared to the same period in2012 primarily mainly due to a favourable sales tax recovery in the prior period and higher costs due to RioCan’s new Texasplatform as of October 2013.

Transaction costs decreased in Q4 2013 by $2.3 million primarily as a result of a foreign currency gain realized upon thedissolution of certain of the Trust’s equity method investments related to its US operations. This exchange gain was partially offsetby higher selling commissions and legal costs on Canadian and US property dispositions during the current quarter.

During the year ended December 31, 2013, general and administrative costs increased $5.0 million or 12% over 2012. Othergeneral and administrative costs increased $3.9 million mainly due to a favourable sales tax recovery in 2012 and higher overallincreases in administrative costs due to the growth of RioCan’s US asset base and the establishment of the US platforms in NewJersey and Texas.

Transaction costs increased $2.0 million year-over-year mainly due to higher legal and selling costs related to a substantialincrease in the number of property dispositions completed in 2013 compared to 2012, partially offset by a $4 million realizedforeign currency transaction gain related to the dissolution of two of the Trust’s joint arrangements in the US.

In addition, RioCan expects to complete a significant information technology initiative during the first half of 2014, whichmanagement expects will result in higher overall platform expenditures.

ASSET PROFILE

As at December 31, 2013, RioCan had ownership interests in a portfolio of 324 shopping centres comprising 71.2 million squarefeet (RioCan’s share being 49.2 million square feet), compared to 333 shopping centres comprised of 74.5 million square feet(RioCan’s share being 49.5 million square feet) at December 31, 2012. In addition, RioCan had ownership interests in developmentprojects at December 31, 2013 that will, upon completion, comprise approximately 10.5 million square feet, of which RioCan’sownership interest will be approximately 4.9 million square feet.

In Canada, the rates decreased from 5.91% to 5.81%, and in the US from 6.58% to 6.40% on ayear-over-year basis. The associated fair value gains in Canada and the US were $132 million and $97 million, respectively (each atRioCan’s interest).

Capital Expenditures on Income Properties

Capital spending for new property acquisitions, greenfield developments and the redevelopment of RioCan’s existing properties tocreate and/or extract additional value are expected to improve the overall earnings capacity of the property portfolio. RioCanconsiders such amounts to be investing activities. As a result, RioCan does not expect such expenditures to be funded from cashflows from operating activities and does not consider such amounts as a key determinant in setting the amount that is distributedto its unitholders.

Productive capacity maintenance capital expenditures refer to capital expenditures that are necessary to maintain the existingearnings capacity of the Trust’s property portfolio and are dependent upon many factors, including, but not limited to the age and

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

location of the income properties. As at December 31, 2013, the estimated weighted average age of the income property portfolio is19.9 and 11.3 years for the Canadian and US portfolios respectively (December 31, 2012 – 17.4 and 11.1 years for the Canadian andUS portfolios respectively). Productive capacity maintenance capital expenditures are considered in determining RioCan’scalculation of AFFO, which influences amounts that are distributed to Unitholders, primarily consist of:

• Leasing commissions and tenant improvements

RioCan’s portfolio requires ongoing investments of capital for tenant installation costs related to new and renewal tenant leases.Tenant installation costs consist of tenant improvements and other leasing costs, including certain costs associated withRioCan’s internal leasing professionals, primarily compensation costs.

Investments of capital for tenant installation costs for RioCan’s income properties are dependent upon many factors, including,but not limited to, the lease maturity profile, unforeseen tenant bankruptcies and the location of the income properties.

• Recoverable and non-recoverable maintenance capital expenditures

RioCan also invests capital on a continuous basis to physically maintain the income properties. Typical costs incurred are forroof replacement programs and the resurfacing of parking lots. Tenant leases generally provide for the ability to recover asignificant portion of such costs from tenants over time as property operating costs. RioCan expenses or capitalizes theseamounts to income properties, as appropriate.

As the majority of the portfolio is located in Canada and the northeastern US, the majority of such activities occur when weatherconditions are favourable. As a result, these expenditures are not consistent throughout the year.

Expenditures for leasing commissions and tenant improvement and recoverable and non-recoverable maintenance capitalincluded in consolidated income properties are as follows:

Joint Venture and Partnership Activities

Co-ownership activities represent real estate investments in which RioCan owns an undivided interest and where it has jointcontrol with its partners. Through September 30th, 2013, RioCan recorded its proportionate share of assets, liabilities, revenue andexpenses of all co-ownerships in which it participates except for the following joint ventures, which are recorded on the equitybasis of accounting: RPAI, Kimco/Dunhill and Montgomery LP. Thereafter, the RPAI and Kimco/Dunhill (Las Palmas) joint ventureswere dissolved (see “2013 Change in Accounting Policy”). RioCan consolidated 100% of the accounts of the Sterling andWhiteshield properties. Where there is a party with a minority investment in a property that the Trust controls, that minorityinterest is reflected as “Non-controlling interest” in the 2013 Annual Financial Statements. As of October 1, 2013, the propertieswholly-owned through the former RPAI joint venture are consolidated.

The Trust’s co-ownership arrangements are governed by co-ownership agreements with its various partners. RioCan’s standardco-ownership agreement provides exit and transfer provisions, including, but not limited to, buy/sell and/or right of first offers thatallow for the unwinding of these co-ownership arrangements should the circumstances necessitate.

Generally, the Trust is only liable for its proportionate share of the obligations of the co-ownerships in which it participates, exceptin limited circumstances. Credit risk arises in the event that co-owners default on the payment of their proportionate share of suchobligations. Co-ownership agreements will typically provide RioCan with an option to remedy any non-performance by a defaultingco-owner. These credit risks are mitigated as the Trust has recourse against the asset under its co-ownership agreements in theevent of default by its co-owners, in which case the Trust’s claim would be against both the underlying real estate investments andthe co-owners that are in default. In addition to the matter noted above, RioCan has provided guarantees on debt totaling$282 million as at December 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012 – $235 million) on behalf of partners and co-owners.

Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) for the year ended December 31, 2013.

PROPERTIES UNDER DEVELOPMENT

RioCan has a development program primarily focused on new format and urban retail centres. The provisions of the Trust’sDeclaration have the effect of limiting direct and indirect investments, net of related mortgage debt, in non-income producingproperties to no more than 15% of the Adjusted Unitholders’ Equity of the Trust. “Adjusted Unitholders’ Equity” is a non-GAAPmeasure defined in RioCan’s Declaration as the amount of unitholders’ equity plus the amount of accumulated amortization ofincome properties recorded by the Trust, calculated in accordance with GAAP. At December 31, 2013, RioCan was in compliancewith this restriction. RioCan undertakes such developments on its own, or on a co-ownership or partnership basis, withestablished developers to whom the Trust generally provides mezzanine financing. With some exceptions for land in the highgrowth markets, RioCan will generally not acquire or fund significant expenditures for undeveloped land unless it is zoned and anacceptable level of space has been pre-leased or pre-sold. An advantage of unenclosed, new format retail is that it lends itself tophased construction keyed to leasing levels, which avoids the creation of meaningful amounts of vacant space. In addition toRioCan’s various development projects, the Trust also contributes to portfolio growth through the intensification andredevelopment of existing properties where RioCan has identified opportunities to increase density or add to an existing asset. Thisintensification and redevelopment of existing properties contributes to NOI growth in an efficient manner, leveraging the existingasset base, and can also lead to significant gains resulting from the sale of residential rights.

(v) The West Kanata Land is a 52.5 acre parcel of land located in Kanata, Ontario, approximately 20 kilometres west of Ottawa, Ontario. The sitewas acquired free and clear of financing and RioCan acquired a managing interest in the development property. It is anticipated that the sitewill be developed into an estimated 357,000 square foot outlet centre. The 316,000 square foot first phase of the development is underwaywith completion scheduled for Q4, 2014. The 41,000 square foot second phase will be complete in 2015.

(vi) This acquisition represents phase II of The Well development site, a 1.27 acre land parcel adjacent to the 6.47 acres acquired in Q4 2012,located west of Spadina Avenue, between Front Street West and Wellington Street West, in Toronto, Ontario. Consistent with the acquisition ofphase I, phase II was acquired on a 40/40/20 joint venture basis between RioCan, Allied and Diamond Corp. In connection with the purchase,the parties assumed vendor take-back mortgage financing of approximately $22 million ($9 million at RioCan’s interest) at an interest rate of2.0% (interest only) for a five year term. The total site (phase I and phase II) will be redeveloped as a mixed-use development known as “TheWell” that will include approximately 570,000 square feet of retail space, 1.1 million square feet of office space and approximately 1.5 millionsquare feet of residential space that will become a landmark destination to live, work and shop in Toronto. The Well will be a newneighbourhood that will be one of the few truly integrated mixed use projects under review by the City offering a meaningful mix ofresidential, retail and office space.

(vii) To be determined based on market conditions.

Development Property Acquisitions Subsequent to Year End

Subsequent to year end, RioCan acquired a 100% interest in 1860 Bayview Avenue in Toronto, Ontario. 1860 Bayview Avenue is adevelopment site located at the northwest corner of Bayview Avenue and Broadway Avenue in the Leaside area of Toronto.KingSett and Trinity Development Group are currently developing a grocery-anchored centre on the site, and RioCan has acquiredthe site on a forward purchase basis at an expected purchase price on completion of $58 million, at a capitalization rate of 5.4%.Once completed, the centre will consist of approximately 83,084 square feet of retail space and will be anchored by a 52,420 squarefoot Whole Foods.

Development Property Acquisitions under Contract

RioCan currently has two development sites in Canada under firm contract where conditions have been waived that, if completed,represent acquisitions of $20 million at RioCan’s interest.

• The acquisition of lands adjacent to Calaway Park, a 35 acre parcel of land located approximately 25 kilometres west ofCalgary, Alberta. The site is to be acquired on a 50/50 joint venture basis between RioCan and Tanger at a purchase price of$28 million ($14 million at RioCan’s interest). The site would be acquired free and clear of financing and RioCan would acquirea managing interest in the development property. The site represents an opportunity for the RioCan/Tanger joint venture toenter the Calgary market with the intention to develop the land into an outlet centre of approximately 350,000 square feet. Theacquisition is expected to close in the second quarter of 2014.

• The acquisition of a 50% interest in the site where TD Bank is currently located at the North East corner of Yonge and Eglintonin Toronto, Ontario, at a purchase price of $12 million ($6 million at RioCan’s interest).

Definitions

Greenfield Development – vacant land located in suburban markets.

Urban Intensification – development or redevelopment projects located in urban markets.

Expansion and Redevelopment – projects that will improve the property through demolition, renovation and/or the addition of density.

Excess Density – leasable area identified and available for future development if and when market demand exists.

Active Committed – a property where the pro forma budget has been approved, all major planning issues have been resolved, tenantshave been secured and construction is about to start or has started.

Active Non – committed – a property where the development team is creating the pro forma budget, all planning issues are beingresolved, the leasing team is in the process of securing tenants, but construction has not started.

Non – active – a property that has future development potential

On an individual development basis, the majority of the projects are estimated to generate yields of approximately 7% to 11%. Onan aggregate basis, RioCan expects these development projects to generate a weighted average net operating income yield of 8%to 9%. Capital expenditures for Greenfield Development and Urban Intensification projects for 2014 are estimated to beapproximately $87 million before construction financing, or approximately $83 million, net of current construction financingarranged. During the year ended December 31, 2013, total costs incurred and mezzanine loans advanced were approximately$83 million.

With respect to Expansion and Redevelopment activities, RioCan expects to incur approximately $104 million in expendituresduring 2014.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RioCan is committed to property development and redevelopment opportunities and is focused on completing the construction ofthe development pipeline underway, on time and on budget, and continuing to make progress on leasing. Commencement ofconstruction for several of the development projects have been deferred until economic conditions warrant. Potential anchortenants are currently more cautious in committing to new developments, which will impact the timing of several developments, asRioCan will not commence construction until it has secured the requisite leasing commitments and appropriate risk-adjustedreturns.

RioCan’s estimated development project square footage and development costs are subject to change, which changes may bematerial to the Trust, as assumptions regarding, among other items, anchor tenants, tenant rents, building sizes, projectcompletion timelines, availability and cost of construction financing, and project costs, are updated periodically based on revisedsite plans, the cost tendering process and continuing tenant negotiations.

Development activity is expected to increase in the upcoming years due to demand from US based tenants entering the Canadianmarket and the demand from existing tenants especially in urban locations. Due to the economic recession of the last few years,the level of development in general has been low across the country. In addition, RioCan’s exclusive joint venture with Tanger willresult in the development of outlet shopping centres.

Greenfield Development

RioCan’s current greenfield development pipeline consists of 16 properties that are expected to add approximately 7.4 millionsquare feet (3.4 million square feet at RioCan’s interest) of space upon completion over the next six years. 1.1 million square feet(0.8 million square feet at RioCan’s interest) is already income producing. RioCan is committed to property development andredevelopment opportunities and is focused on completing its existing development pipeline. These developments will be animportant component of RioCan’s organic growth strategy over time. RioCan’s development program is focused on well locatedurban and suburban land in the six major market markets in Canada. RioCan’s projected returns on development properties arehigher than the returns that can be generated through properties that are purchased. Furthermore, population growth over timewill lead to improved tenant sales and further increases in rent at these properties as tenants renew upon expiry of their originalterm. Development properties that have been completed by RioCan and its partners during the last fifteen years contributesignificantly to RioCan’s existing growth and these types of properties are rarely, if ever, available for sale.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Land use intensification opportunities arise from the fact that retail centres are generally built with lot coverages of approximately25% of the underlying land. Therefore, particularly in urban markets, RioCan can seek to obtain additional density, retail orotherwise, on its existing property portfolio and, as the land is already owned, it may be able to achieve relatively higher returns onnew construction as well as from the sale of non-retail use density. Population growth is significant in these areas and retailerswant locations that are able to access this population. RioCan’s urban development program will serve that demand and returns onthese properties will contribute significantly to RioCan’s growth strategy over time.

As a result of the aforementioned population growth, cities are building infrastructure to serve this population that will benefitRioCan’s urban development growth strategy. The proposed transit line along Toronto’s Eglinton Avenue corridor is expected tocreate a number of development and intensification projects. RioCan is well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities asit currently has five properties located along, or near, this important infrastructure undertaking (including the land assembly at thenortheast corner of Yonge and Eglinton). The City of Toronto has stated a policy to rezone areas surrounding new transit stops topermit higher density developments, which will enable RioCan to redevelop its Eglinton properties more quickly as many of themare located near anticipated transit stops.

Excess Density

In addition to RioCan’s various development projects, the Trust contributes to portfolio growth through the intensification ofexisting properties where RioCan has identified opportunities to increase density or add to an existing asset. This intensification ofexisting properties is an important component of RioCan’s organic growth strategy. As at December 31, 2013, RioCan’s total excessdensity fair market value is $41 million and its potential consists of approximately 1.38 million square feet, of which RioCan’sownership interest will be approximately 1.26 million square feet.

Properties Held for Resale

Properties held for resale are properties acquired or developed for which RioCan generally intends to sell rather than hold on along term basis. RioCan’s plan is to dispose of all or part of such properties in the ordinary course of business. It is expected that

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

the Trust will earn a return on these assets through a combination of property operating income earned during the relatively shortholding period, which will be included in net earnings, and sales proceeds. As at December 31, 2013, the Trust has $45.9 million ofproperties held for resale comprising the following four assets ($47.2 million as at December 31, 2012 comprising four assets):

• Tillicum Centre, Victoria, BC (Excess residential density)

• Sheppard Centre, Toronto, ON (Excess residential density)

• Stouffville Residential Lands, Stouffville, ON (Residential homes)

• Yonge & Eglinton Northeast Corner, Toronto, ON (Residential density)

With respect to excess residential/condo density, RioCan is considering the potential of retaining such density and developingresidential rental properties.

Properties Held for Sale

Properties held for sale are investment properties which RioCan no longer intends to hold as investment property and is in theprocess of disposing. The Trust currently has $12.6 million of properties held for sale comprising the following four assets:

• Canadian Tire unit – Millcroft Shopping Centre, Burlington, ON

• Stouffville Retail Lands, Stouffville, ON

• Chaleur Lands, Big River, NB

• Renfrew Lands, Renfrew, ON

Mortgages and Loans Receivable

RioCan’s Declaration contains provisions that have the effect of limiting the aggregate value of the investment by the Trust inmortgages, other than mortgages taken back on the sale of RioCan’s properties, to a maximum of 30% of Adjusted Unitholders’Equity which is defined in the section, “Presentation of Financial Information and Non-GAAP Measures.” Additionally, RioCan islimited to the amount of capital that can be invested in non-income producing properties to no more than 15% of the AdjustedUnitholders’ Equity, which limitation applies to both greenfield development projects and mortgages receivable to fund theco-owners’ share of such developments, referred to in this MD&A as mezzanine financing. At December 31, 2013, RioCan was incompliance with these restrictions.

Contractual mortgages and loans receivable as at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012 are comprised of the following:

RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONSRioCan may have transactions in the normal course of business with entities whose directors or trustees are also its trustees and/or management. Any such transactions are in the normal course of operations and are measured at market based exchangeamounts.

Transactions subsequent to the formation of a co-ownership that are not contemplated by the co-ownership agreement areconsidered to be related party transactions for financial statement purposes.

CAPITAL STRATEGY AND RESOURCESRioCan strives for an optimal financial structure to drive appropriate risk adjusted total returns. The principal objectives of thecapital strategy are to:

• optimize the risk-adjusted cost of capital through an appropriate mix of debt and equity;

• raise debt from a variety of sources and maintain a well staggered maturity schedule with longer-term financing and committedincome under long term tenant leases;

• maintain significant committed undrawn loan facilities to support current and future business requirements;

• actively manage financial risks, including interest rate, foreign exchange, liquidity and counterparty risks; and

• selectively sell assets as part of actively managing the portfolio and to increase the portfolio weighting to the six urban marketsin Canada as a means to strategically re-cycle capital.

Management believes that the quality of RioCan’s assets and strong balance sheet are attractive to lenders and equity investorsand should enable RioCan to continue to access multiple sources of capital at competitive rates. In addition, management believesthat current market conditions will continue to provide opportunities for RioCan – a well capitalized, highly experienced andgrowing company – to acquire or develop high-quality assets at attractive returns. Opportunities to acquire or develop propertiesmay come through outright acquisitions or joint venture arrangements. RioCan maintains a disciplined investment strategy, whichfocuses on high-quality assets in its targeted markets, emphasizing long-term value creation.

Capital Strategy Supporting Continued Growth

To support growth, RioCan employs a three-fold capital strategy:

• provide the capital necessary to fund growth;

• maintain sufficient flexibility to access capital in many forms, both public and private; and

• manage the overall financial structure in a fashion that preserves investment grade credit ratings.

RioCan plans to further strengthen its balance sheet by reducing its overall debt leverage over time, thereby strengthening variousinterest and cash flow coverage ratios. It is management’s intention that the Trust continually have access to the capital resourcesnecessary to expand and develop its business. Accordingly, the Trust may, from time-to-time, seek to obtain funds throughadditional common and preferred equity offerings, unsecured debt financings and/or mortgage/construction loan financings andother capital alternatives in a manner consistent with its intention to operate with a conservative debt structure, along with therecycling of capital through the paring of the portfolio through selective asset sales.

Liquidity and Cash Management

RioCan maintains committed revolving bank facilities to provide financial liquidity. These can be drawn/repaid at short notice,reducing the need to hold liquid resources in cash and deposits. This minimizes costs arising from the difference betweenborrowing and deposit rates, while reducing credit exposure.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Capital Management Framework

RioCan defines capital as the aggregate of common and preferred unitholders’ equity and debt. The Trust’s capital managementframework is designed to maintain a level of capital that:

• complies with investment and debt restrictions pursuant to the Trust’s Declaration;

• complies with debt covenants;

• enables RioCan to achieve target credit ratings;

• funds the Trust’s business strategies; and

• builds long-term unitholder value.

The key elements of RioCan’s capital management framework are set out in the Trust’s Declaration, and/or approved by theTrust’s Board, through the Board’s annual review of the strategic plan and budget, supplemented by periodic Board and Boardcommittee meetings. Capital adequacy is monitored by management of the Trust by assessing performance against the approvedannual plan throughout the year, which is updated accordingly, and by monitoring adherence to investment and debt restrictionscontained in the Declaration and debt covenants (see Note 28 to RioCan’s 2013 Annual Financial Statements as at December 31,2013). In selecting appropriate funding choices, RioCan’s objective is to manage its capital structure in such a way so as to diversifyits funding sources while minimizing its funding costs and risks. For 2014, RioCan expects to be able to satisfy all of its financingrequirements through the use of cash on hand, cash generated by operations, refinancing of maturing debt, financing of certainassets currently unencumbered by debt, construction financing facilities, sale of non-core properties, utilization of its operatinglines, and through public offerings of unsecured debentures, preferred units and common equity.

Capital Structure

As at December 31, 2013 and December 31, 2012, RioCan’s capital structure, prepared at RioCan’s interest utilizing proportionateconsolidation, was as follows:

For the three months ended December 31, 2013, the interest coverage ratio continued to improve, thereby enabling the Trust toexceed its target ratio on a rolling 12 month basis. Debt service coverage ratio, for the three months ended December 31, 2013 andon a rolling 12 month basis, improved modestly due to higher NOI and refinancing debt at lower interest rates. As at December 31,2013, unencumbered assets to debentures payable increased to 142%, as compared to 104% as at December 31, 2012.Unencumbered assets to debenture payable is defined as unencumbered assets at RioCan’s interest divided by unsecureddebentures payable.

As part of its capital management strategy, it is RioCan’s objective to further improve its leverage and coverage ratios. The Trust’sobjective is to achieve the targeted ratios indicated in the above table over time.

During 2013, the Trust generated $110 million through its common Unit DRIP program, representing a DRIP participation rate of25.8%. The generation of this additional capital supports the Trust’s growth strategy and provides liquidity in support of RioCan’sdevelopment program, where there has been a substantial increase in activity since 2012 on multiple projects. RioCan’s objectiveis for this increased level of activity to continue in 2014 and for several years thereafter, with an increased focus on urbandevelopment.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Debt

RioCan intends to maintain strong debt service coverage and fixed charge coverage ratios as part of its commitment to maintainingits investment-grade debt ratings from Standard and Poor’s (S&P) and from Dominion Bond Rating Services Limited (DBRS). Acredit rating generally provides an indication of the risk that the borrower will not fulfill its obligations in a timely manner withrespect to both interest and principal commitments. Rating categories range from highest credit quality (generally AAA) to defaultpayment (generally D).

As at December 31, 2013, S&P provided RioCan with an entity credit rating of BBB and a credit rating of BBB- relating to RioCan’ssenior unsecured debentures (Debentures). An obligor with a credit rating of BBB by S&P exhibits adequate capacity to meet itsfinancial obligations, however, adverse economic conditions or changing circumstances are more likely to lead to a weakenedcapacity of the obligor to meet its financial commitment on the obligation. A credit rating of BBB- or higher is an investment graderating.

As at December 31, 2013, DBRS provided RioCan with a credit rating of BBB (high) relating to the Debentures. A credit rating ofBBB by DBRS is generally an indication of adequate credit quality, the capacity for the payment of financial obligations isconsidered acceptable but the entity may be vulnerable to future events.

Revolving Lines of Credit

As at December 31, 2013, RioCan had three revolving lines of credit in place with three Canadian Schedule I financial institutions,having an aggregate capacity of $535 million ( December 31, 2012 – $425 million).

Subsequent to December 31, 2013, RioCan renegotiated an existing operating facility and added a fourth operating line. An existingfacility has been increased from $100 million to $130 million and the new facility has a capacity of $75 million; both have pricingsimilar to RioCan’s other operating lines and maturity dates of June 2017. These facilities bring RioCan’s aggregate limit to$640 million.

(i) Secured by charges against certain income properties. Should the aggregate agreed values for lending purposes of such properties fall to alevel which would not support a borrowing of the maximum loan amount, RioCan has the option to provide substitute income properties asadditional security.

Debentures Payable

As at December 31, 2013, RioCan had eight series of Debentures outstanding totalling $1.4 billion (December 31, 2012 – eightseries totalling $1.3 billion). As mentioned below, on January 23, 2014, a ninth series of debentures was issued bringing theoutstanding total to $1.55 billion.

The Debentures have covenants relating to RioCan’s 60% leverage limit to Aggregate Assets as set out in RioCan’s Declaration, themaintenance of a $1.0 billion Adjusted Book Equity, defined in the indenture, and maintenance of an interest coverage ratio of 1.65times or better. There are no requirements under the unsecured Debenture covenants that require RioCan to maintainunencumbered assets. The Series I debentures, which are due in 2026 and aggregate $100 million, have an additional provision

that provides RioCan with the right, at any time, to convert these debentures to mortgage debt, subject to the acceptability of thesecurity given to the debenture holders.

As at December 31, 2013, the Trust’s mortgages payable and drawn lines of credit (at RioCan’s interest), was $4.5 billion ($4.4billion as at December 31, 2012). The vast majority of the Trust’s mortgage indebtedness provides recourse to the assets of theTrust, as opposed to only having recourse to the specific property charged. RioCan follows this policy as it generally results inlower interest costs than would otherwise be obtained. In the United States, mortgage debt is generally non-recourse financing,with no US secured debt having recourse to the assets of the Canadian operations of the Trust.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RioCan has the continued flexibility to generate additional funds in 2014 through refinancing maturing loan balances as well asrepaying such balances to increase the size of RioCan’s pool of unencumbered assets. As at December 31, 2013, RioCan had 103properties that were unencumbered with a fair value of approximately $2.1 billion. During the first quarter of 2014, it is RioCan’sintention to repay mortgages aggregating $82 million on twelve properties with a fair value of approximately $242 million andencumber three properties with a fair value of approximately $75.1 million, with approximately $47 million of debt.

Considering RioCan’s current levels of cash, undrawn credit facilities, relatively low leverage and demonstrated historical accessto debt capital markets, the Trust expects that all maturities will be refinanced or repaid in the normal course of business, and assuch, RioCan does not currently anticipate that it will be required to sell assets and/or issue equity to meet its maturing debtobligations for 2014.

Trust Units

As at February 12, 2014, there are 304.9 million common Units issued and outstanding and 9.7 million options outstanding underthe Trust’s incentive unit option plan (the Plan). All common Units outstanding have equal rights and privileges and entitle theholder thereof to one vote for each Unit at all meetings of Unitholders. During the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, theTrust issued Units as follows:

(number of Units in thousands)Year ended December 31, 2013 2012

Units outstanding, beginning of year (i) 300,099 279,113Units issued:Exchangeable limited partnership units – 29Public offerings – 15,510Distribution reinvestment plan 4,365 4,081Direct purchase plan 53 47Unit option plan 476 1,319Common trust units repurchased and cancelled (918) –

Units outstanding, end of year (i) 304,075 300,099

(i) Included in units outstanding are exchangeable limited partnership units of four limited partnerships that are subsidiaries of the Trust (the LPunits) which were issued to vendors, as partial consideration for income properties acquired by RioCan (December 31, 2013 – 2,144,411 LPunits; December 31, 2012 – 2,312,661 LP units). RioCan is the general partner of the limited partnerships. The LP units are entitled todistributions equivalent to distributions on RioCan Units, must be exchanged for RioCan Units on a one-for-one basis and are exchangeable atany time at the option of the holder.

RioCan’s continued access to capital allows the Trust to be an active acquirer of properties both in Canada and the US asopportunities arise.

On April 20, 2012, RioCan issued an aggregate of 8.6 million common Units at a price of $26.80 per Unit for aggregate grossproceeds of $230 million. The aggregate offering was comprised of the issuance of 7.5 million Units at $26.80 per Unit for grossproceeds of $200 million, together with the option granted to underwriters, which was exercised in full, for an issuance of anadditional 1.1 million Units at $26.80 per Unit for additional gross proceeds of $30 million.

On September 19, 2012, RioCan issued an aggregate of 6.9 million common Units at a price of $27.90 per Unit for aggregate grossproceeds of $193 million. The aggregate offering was comprised of the issuance of 6.3 million Units at $27.90 per Unit for grossproceeds of $175 million, together with the option granted to underwriters, which was exercised in part, for an issuance of anadditional 650,000 Units at $27.90 per Unit for additional gross proceeds of $18 million.

During the fourth quarter of 2013, 1.1 million Units were issued pursuant to the Trust’s distribution reinvestment plan compared to1.1 million Units during the same period in 2012. Participation in the distribution reinvestment plan was 25.6% for the threemonths ended December 31, 2013, compared to 29.2% for the three months ended December 31, 2012.

RioCan has a Restricted Equity Unit (REU) plan which provides for an allotment of REUs to each non-employee trustee. The valueof the REUs allotted appreciate and depreciate with increases or decreases in the market price of the Trust’s Units. During thefourth quarter of 2013, nil REU’s were granted (nil for the same period in 2012).

REU members are also entitled to be credited with REUs for distributions paid in respect of Units of the Trust based on an AverageMarket Price of the Units as defined by the plan. The REUs vest and are settled three years from the date of issuance by a cashpayment equal to the number of vested REUs credited to the member multiplied by the Average Market Price of the Trust’s Units atthe settlement date, less applicable withholdings. The REU plan liability at December 31, 2013 was $1.7 million ($1.9 million atDecember 31, 2012).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

The Trust provides long-term incentives to certain employees by granting options through the Plan. The objective of granting unit-based compensation is to encourage Plan members to acquire an ownership interest in RioCan over time and acts as a financialincentive for such persons to act in the long term interests of RioCan and its unitholders. The exercise price for each option isequal to the volume weighted average trading price of the Units on the Toronto Stock Exchange for the five trading daysimmediately preceding the date of grant except for those options granted prior to May 27, 2009 which have an exercise price equalto the closing price of the Trust’s Units on the date prior to the day the option was granted. Of the 29.2 million Units approved to begranted under the Plan, 4.7 million Units remain available for grant under the Plan as at December 31, 2013 (December 31, 2012 –6.5 million Units). During the fourth quarter of 2013, nil options were granted under the Plan compared to nil granted during thesame period in 2012. During the fourth quarter of 2013, 88,000 Units were issued pursuant to exercises of the incentive Unitoptions, compared to nil Units for the comparable period of 2012.

As part of its ongoing commitment to corporate governance matters, the Board and its Human Resources and CompensationCommittee have retained an independent compensation consultant to assist them in their review and reformulation of the Trust’sapproach to executive compensation matters, and to recommend enhancements to further align the Trust’s compensationprogram with interests of the Trust’s unit holders. Contemplated changes remain a work in progress and continue to be subject tonumerous factors, including without limitation, the review and determination of taxation and accounting matters, external legalreview, and definitive documentation. Any changes are not expected to have a material impact on the quantum of compensationthat is paid to the Trust’s most senior executives but rather on the mix of the components of the compensation program

On July 25, 2013, RioCan announced the TSX approval of its notice of intention to make a NCIB for a portion of its Units asappropriate opportunities arise from time to time. RioCan’s NCIB will be made in accordance with the requirements of theTSX. Under the NCIB, RioCan may acquire up to a maximum of 15,039,156 of its Units, or approximately 5% of its issued andoutstanding Units as of July 9, 2013, for cancellation over the next 12 months commencing on or about August 3, 2013 untilAugust 4, 2014 (as such other time as RioCan completes its purchases or provides notice of termination of such bid). The numberof Units that can be purchased pursuant to the bid is subject to a current daily maximum of 149,016 Units (equal to 25% of theaverage daily trading volume from January 1, 2013 through to June 30, 2013), subject to RioCan’s ability to make one blockpurchase of Units per calendar week in excess of such limits. RioCan intends to fund the purchases out of its available cash andundrawn credit facilities. During the third quarter of 2013, RioCan purchased and cancelled 917,700 common Units, at a total costof $22.1 million. The excess of the purchase price over the book value of the Units purchased during the quarter was recorded as acharge to cumulative earnings amounting to $9.3 million.

Preferred Units

On December 6, 2010, the Trust’s Declaration was amended and restated to permit the future authorization and issuance of a classof preferred equity securities. RioCan believes that preferred units provides the Trust with further enhanced ability to more activelypursue value enhancing opportunities and acquisitions by providing the Trust with greater flexibility in raising capital. In addition,the preferred units potentially provide the Trust with an opportunity to reduce its cost of capital.

In the first quarter of 2011, the Trust issued 5 million 5.25% Preferred Units, Series A at a price of $25 per unit for aggregate grossproceeds of $125 million. Also, on November 20, 2011, the Trust issued 5.98 million 4.7% Preferred Trust Units, Series C at a priceof $25 per unit for aggregate gross proceeds of $149.5 million.

S&P and DBRS provided credit ratings for the Preferred Units, Series A and Preferred Units, Series C Units of the Trust. ThePreferred Units, Series A and Preferred Units, Series C Units have both been assigned a rating of “Pfd-3 (high)” by DBRS and arating of “P-3 (high)” by S&P. DBRS has five rating categories of preferred shares for which it will assign a rating. The ‘‘Pfd-3’’rating is the third highest category available from DBRS for preferred securities and is considered to be of adequate credit quality.According to DBRS, preferred securities rated ‘‘Pfd-3’’are of adequate credit quality and while protection of distributions andprincipal is still considered acceptable, the issuing entity is more susceptible to adverse changes in financial and economicconditions, and there may be other adverse conditions present which detract from debt protection. Pfd-3 ratings generallycorrespond with companies whose senior bonds are rated in the higher end of the BBB category. A “P-3 (High)” rating by S&P isthe third of the three sub-categories within the second highest rating of the eight standard categories of ratings utilized by S&P forpreferred units. “High” and “low” grades may be used to indicate a relative standing of a credit within a particular rating category.

Guarantees

RioCan provides guarantees on behalf of third parties, including co-owners and partners, for which the Trust generally is paid afee, as, among other reasons, it generally results in lower interest costs and higher loan-to-value ratios than would otherwise beobtained. Also, RioCan’s guarantees remain in place for debts assumed by purchasers in connection with certain propertydispositions and will remain until such debts are extinguished or lenders agree to release RioCan’s covenants. Credit risks arise inthe event that these parties default on repayment of their debt since they are guaranteed by RioCan. These credit risks aremitigated as RioCan has recourse under these guarantees in the event of a default by the borrowers, in which case the Trust’sclaim has security against both the purchaser and the underlying real estate investments. As at December 31, 2013, the estimatedamount of debt subject to such guarantees and, therefore, the maximum exposure to credit risk was approximately $467 millionwith expiries between 2014 and 2034. As at December 31, 2013 and during 2013 there have been no defaults by the primaryobligors for debts on which RioCan has provided guarantees, and as a result, no contingent loss on these guarantees has beenrecognized in the Trust’s financial statements.

Liquidity

Liquidity refers to the Trust having and/or generating sufficient amounts of cash and equivalents to fund the ongoing operationalcommitments, distributions to unitholders and planned growth in the business.

RioCan retains a portion of its annual operating cash flows to help fund ongoing maintenance capital expenditures, tenantinstallation costs and long term unfunded contractual obligations, among other items.

Cash on hand, borrowings under the revolving credit facilities, the equity and debt capital markets and the potential sale of assetsalso provide the necessary liquidity to fund ongoing and future capital expenditures and obligations.

At December 31, 2013, on a consolidated basis, RioCan had:

• $39 million of cash;• $426 million of cash available under undrawn bank lines of credit;• indebtedness net of cash is 43.9% of total assets net of cash based on fair value; and• 103 unencumbered properties with a fair value of $2.1 billion.

Unitholder distributions reinvested through the distribution reinvestment and direct purchase plans result in the issuance of Units,as opposed to a cash outlay, thereby providing an additional source of capital to fund RioCan’s activities (see “Distributions toUnitholders” elsewhere in this MD&A).

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Deferred Income Taxes

The Trust qualifies as a mutual fund trust and a REIT for Canadian income tax purposes. The Trust expects to distribute all of itstaxable income to unitholders and is entitled to deduct such distributions for Canadian income tax purposes. Accordingly, noprovision for current income taxes payable is required, except for amounts incurred in its incorporated Canadian subsidiaries.

The Trust’s US subsidiary qualifies as a REIT for US income tax purposes. This subsidiary expects to distribute all of its US taxableincome (if any) to Canada and is entitled to deduct such distributions for US income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for UScurrent income tax payable is required.

The Trust consolidates certain wholly owned incorporated entities that are subject to tax. The tax disclosures, expense anddeferred tax balances relate only to these entities.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are recognized for temporary differences between the tax and accounting bases ofassets and liabilities as well as for the benefit of unused tax credits and losses that are available to be carried forward to future taxyears to the extent that it is probable that the deductions, unused tax credits and losses can be realized. Deferred tax assets andliabilities are measured at the undistributed tax rates that are expected to apply when the assets are realized or the liabilities aresettled, based on the tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Deferred income taxrelating to items recognized in equity will also be recognized in equity.

At December 31, 2013, the Trust had deferred tax assets of $9 million (December 31, 2012 – $9 million) primarily related to agoodwill balance that arose during the restructuring the Trust undertook to qualify as a REIT for purposes of the Income Tax Act(Canada).

If the Trust were to cease to qualify as a REIT for Canadian income tax purposes, certain distributions would not be deductible incomputing income for Canadian income tax purposes and the Trust would be subject to tax on such distributions at a ratesubstantially equivalent to the general corporate income tax rate. Other distributions would generally continue to be treated asreturns of capital to unitholders.

Distributions to Unitholders

The Trust expects to distribute to its unitholders in each year an amount not less than the Trust’s income for the year, ascalculated in accordance with the Act after all permitted deductions under the Act have been taken.

RioCan’s monthly distribution in 2013 was $0.1175 per Unit, representing, on an annualized basis, $1.41 per Unit.

Distributions to Unitholders are as follows:

(millions of dollars, except when otherwise noted)Year ended December 31, 2013 2012

Distributions to common Unitholders $ 426 $ 401Distributions reinvested through the distribution reinvestment plan (110) (108)

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Difference between consolidated cash flows provided by operating activities and distributions to Unitholders

A comparison of distributions to Unitholders with cash flows provided by operating activities and net distributions is as follows:(millions of dollars)Cash Flows Provided By (Used In)Year ended December 31, 2013 2012 2011

Cash flows provided by operating activities $ 408 $ 422 $ 356Adjust for:Changes in non-cash operating items and other 54 12 (9)

Distributions to Unitholders $ 426 $ 401 $ 367Distributions reinvested through the distribution reinvestment plan (110) (108) (82)

Net distributions $ 316 $ 293 $ 285

In determining the annual level of distributions to Unitholders, the Trust considers at forward-looking cash flow informationincluding forecasts and budgets and the future business prospects of the Trust. Furthermore, RioCan does not consider periodiccash flow fluctuations resulting from items such as the timing of property operating costs and tax installments, and semi-annualdebenture and mortgages payable interest payments in determining the level of distributions to Unitholders in any particularquarter. Additionally, in establishing the level of cash distributions to Unitholders the Trust considers the impact of, among otheritems, the future growth in the income producing portfolio, completion of properties under development, impact of futureacquisitions and capital expenditures and leasing related to the income producing portfolio. Distributions to Unitholders areexpected to continue to be funded by cash flows generated from RioCan’s real estate investments and fee generating activities.

Difference between net earnings and distributions to Unitholders

A comparison of distributions to Unitholders with consolidated cash flows provided by operating activities and net earnings is asfollows:(millions of dollars)Year ended December 31, 2013 2012 2011

Cash flows provided by operating activities $ 408 $ 422 $ 356

Net earnings attributable to Unitholders $ 695 $ 1,330 $ 866

Distributions to Unitholders $ 426 $ 401 $ 367

Difference between cash flows provided by operating activities and distributions to Unitholders $ (18) $ 21 $ (11)

Difference between net earnings attributable to Unitholders and distributions to Unitholders $ 269 $ 929 $ 499

The Trust does not use net earnings in accordance with IFRS as the basis to establish the level of Unitholders’ distributions as netearnings include, among other items, non-cash fair value adjustment related to its investment property portfolio and deferredincome taxes. Consideration is given by RioCan to maintenance capital expenditures for the property portfolio and preferreddistributions in establishing the level of annual distributions to Unitholders.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of RioCan’s financial position and results of operations are based upon the Trust’s 2013 AnnualFinancial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with IFRS. The preparation of financial statements requiresmanagement to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure ofcontingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses duringthe reporting period. Actual results may differ from those estimates under different assumptions and conditions.

RioCan believes that the following significant accounting policies are most affected by judgments and estimates used in thepreparation of its 2013 Annual Financial Statements. For a detailed description of these and other accounting policies refer to thenotes to RioCan’s 2013 Annual Financial Statements.

Fair value

Fair value is the amount at which an item could be bought or sold in a current transaction between independent, knowledgeablewilling parties, as opposed to a forced or liquidation sale, in an arm’s length transaction under no compulsion to act.

Quoted market prices in active markets are the best evidence of fair value and are used as the basis for fair value measurement,when available. When quoted market prices are not available, estimates of fair value are based on the best information available,including prices for similar items and the results of other valuation techniques. Valuation techniques used would be consistentwith the objective of measuring fair value.

The techniques used to estimate future cash flows will vary from one situation to another depending on the circumstancessurrounding the asset or liability in question.

The Trust’s financial statements are affected by the fair value based method of accounting, the most significant areas of which areas follows:

• The determination of fair value of Investment property is based upon, among other things, rental revenue from current leasesand reasonable and supportable assumptions that represent what knowledgeable, willing parties would assume about rentalrevenue from future leases in light of current conditions, less future cash outflows in respect of tenant installation costs, capitalexpenditures and investment property operations. The Trust uses the direct capitalization method to fair value its incomeproperties. Under this valuation method a capitalization rate is applied to normalized NOI to yield a fair value. Please see “AssetProfile” for a further discussion of fair values of investment property and sensitivities to changes in capitalization rates.

• Unit based compensation expense is measured at fair value and expensed over the options’ vesting periods, calculated using theBlack-Scholes Model for option valuation. For the year ended December 31, 2013, RioCan recorded Unit based compensationexpense of approximately $5.9 million ($5.2 million for the comparative period of 2012).

• International Financial Reporting Standards IAS 39, “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” establishes thestandard for recognizing and measuring financial assets, financial liabilities and non-financial derivatives (please see the notesto RioCan’s 2013 Annual Financial Statements). All financial instruments are required to be measured at fair value on initialrecognition, except for certain related party transactions. Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financialinstrument has been classified as held-for-trading, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, loans and receivables or otherliabilities.

• For the year ended December 31, 2013, the consideration for real estate acquired during 2013 included $313 million relating tothe assumption of mortgages payable and the granting of vendor-take-back mortgages by the vendors. These financial liabilitieswere measured at fair value on initial recognition. If the interest rate used in the assessment of fair value has a differential of100 basis points, RioCan’s operations would be impacted by approximately $3 million annually.

• At least annually, RioCan reports in its financial statements the fair value of its mortgages and debentures payable, whichamounts are based upon discounted future cash flows using discount rates that reflect current market conditions forinstruments with similar terms and risks. Such fair value estimates are not necessarily indicative of the amounts that RioCanmight pay or receive in actual market transactions. Potential transaction costs have also not been considered in estimating fairvalue.

The carrying cost of RioCan’s mortgages and debentures payable at December 31, 2013 is $ 5.96 billion. The Trust reported a$ 6.15 billion fair value relating to these mortgages and debentures payable in the notes to the 2013 Annual FinancialStatements. If the interest rate used in the assessment of fair value has a differential of 100 basis points, RioCan’s reported fairvalue relating to mortgages and debentures payable would be impacted by approximately $60 million.

Guarantees

GAAP requires RioCan to assess whether there are contingent losses relating to guarantees that the Trust provided on behalf ofthird parties, including co-owners and partners. In addition, RioCan’s guarantees remain in place for debts assumed by purchasersin connection with certain property dispositions, and will remain until such debts are extinguished or the lenders agree to releaseits covenants. Credit risk arises in the event that these parties default on repayment of their debt since they are guaranteed by

116RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Page 121: focused on the€¦ · focused on the RIOCAN FINANCIAL ANNuAL RepORt 20_13. RIOCAN FINANCIAL Annual Report 20 13 2-3 taBle oF ContentS 1_Property Portfolio 14_Financial Review –

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RioCan. These credit risks are mitigated as RioCan has recourse under these guarantees in the event of a default by theborrowers, in which case the Trust would also have a claim against the underlying real estate investments. A contingent loss isrecorded by RioCan when the carrying values of the related real estate investments are not recovered either as a result of theinability of the underlying assets’ performance to meet the contractual debt service terms of the underlying debt and the fair valueof the collateral assets are insufficient to cover the obligations and encumbrances in a sale between unrelated parties in thenormal course of business. RioCan’s estimates of future cash flow which, among other things, involve assumptions of estimatedoccupancy, rental rates and residual value, and the effects of other factors, including general and local economic conditions andchanging tenant formats, could vary and result in a significantly different assessment of such contingent loss. As at December 31,2013, there have been no defaults by the primary obligors for debts on which the Trust has provided its guarantees and as a result,no contingent loss on these guarantees has been recognized in the Trust’s financial statements.

FUTURE CHANGES IN ACCOUNTING POLICIES

RioCan monitors the potential changes proposed by the IASB and analyzes the effect that changes in the standards may have onRioCan’s operations.

Standards issued, but not yet effective, up to the date of issuance of the 2013 Annual Financial Statements for the years endedDecember 31, 2013 and 2012, are described below. This description is of standards and interpretations issued, which the Trustreasonably expects to be applicable at a future date. The Trust intends to adopt these standards when they become effective.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9)

IFRS 9 as issued reflects the IASB’s work to date on the replacement of Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement(IAS 39), and applies to the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in IAS 39. InNovember 2013, the IASB issued a new version of IFRS 9 (IFRS 9 (2013)) which includes the new hedge accounting requirementsand some related amendments to IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments:Disclosures. IFRS 9 (2013) does not have a mandatory effective date. The impact of this ongoing project will be assessed by theTrust as remaining phases of the project are completed.

Amendments to IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (IAS 32)

In December 2011, the IASB issued certain amendments to IAS 32, which establishes disclosure requirements that are intended tohelp clarify for financial statement users the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position.These amendments are effective for the Trust’s annual period beginning on January 1, 2014. The Trust has determined that theadoption of these amendments will not have a material impact on its 2013 Annual Financial Statements.

IFRIC Interpretation 21, Levies (IFRIC 21)

IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment occurs, as identified by therelevant legislation. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liabilityshould be anticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached. The IFRIC does not apply to accounting for income taxes,fines and penalties or for the acquisition of assets from governments. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or afterJanuary 1, 2014. The Trust is in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of this interpretation on its 2013 AnnualFinancial Statements.

CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Internal Controls for Disclosure and Financial Reporting

RioCan maintains appropriate information systems, procedures and controls to ensure that information disclosed externally iscomplete, reliable and timely. RioCan’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, or caused an evaluation undertheir direct supervision of, the design and operating effectiveness of the Trust’s disclosure controls and procedures (as defined inNational Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings) as at December 31, 2013 and haveconcluded that such disclosure controls and procedures were appropriately designed and were operating effectively.

RioCan has also established adequate internal controls over financial reporting to provide reasonable assurance regarding thereliability of the Trust’s financial reporting and the preparation of the financial statements for external purposes in accordancewith IFRS. RioCan’s Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer assessed, or caused an assessment under their directsupervision, of the design and operating effectiveness of the Trust’s internal controls over financial reporting (as defined inNational Instrument 52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings) as at December 31, 2013 using theCommittee of Sponsoring Organizations Internal Control – Integrated Framework. Based on that assessment, it was determinedthat RioCan’s internal controls over financial reporting were appropriately designed and were operating effectively.

During the three month period ended December 31, 2013 there were no changes in the Trust’s internal controls over financialreporting that occurred that have significantly affected, or are reasonably likely to significantly affect the Trust’s internal controlsover financial reporting.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

On January 6, 2014, RioCan completed the initial phase of a conversion to a new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system anddoes not expect the ERP system conversion to result in any significant changes in internal controls over financial reporting or theoverall control environment during 2014. Management employed appropriate procedures to ensure internal controls were in placeduring and after the conversion.

It should be noted that a control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute,assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Given the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation ofcontrols can provide absolute assurance that all control issues, including instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. Theseinherent limitations include, among other items: (i) that management’s assumptions and judgments could ultimately prove to beincorrect under varying conditions and circumstances; (ii) the impact of any undetected errors; and (iii) controls may becircumvented by the unauthorized acts of individuals, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override.

Canadian Income Tax Legislation – REIT Status

The Trust currently qualifies as a REIT for purposes of the Income Tax Act (Canada). Accordingly RioCan continues to be able toflow taxable income through to unitholders on a tax effective basis.

Generally, to qualify as a REIT, RioCan’s Canadian assets must be comprised primarily of real estate and substantially all ofRioCan’s Canadian source revenues must be derived from rental revenue, capital gains and fee income from properties in whichRioCan has an interest.

On October 24, 2012, the Minister of Finance tabled in the House of Commons a detailed Notice of Ways and Means motion toimplement outstanding technical tax amendments. As part of this motion, the Minister is creating a new 10% basket for the holdingof non-qualifying assets and increasing the non-qualifying revenue basket to 10% from 5% for purposes of the 95% REIT RevenueTest, thereby reducing the qualifying revenue threshold to 90%.

On November 21, 2012, the proposed amendments above received first reading in the House of Commons. On March 8, 2013, theamendments received their second reading in the House of Commons and on June 26, 2013, Bill C-48 received Royal Assent (i.e.final approval). The amendments will be retroactive to January 1, 2011.

The Trust does not believe that the enactment and the amendments above, which are generally less restrictive than the original taxlegislation, will impair its ability to continue to qualify as a REIT.

REIT Qualification Monitoring

A key activity of RioCan is the monitoring processes to ensure that RioCan continues to qualify as a REIT for purposes of theIncome Tax Act (Canada) following the adoption of the SIFT Provisions in 2010. In this regard, training of both accounting andoperational staff was carried out.

From time to time the Trust holds REIT information sessions with members of the Board of Trustees, Audit Committee and seniormanagement, including but not limited to, reporting on REIT Exception qualification monitoring and the business implications ofqualifying as a REIT.

RISKS AND UNCERTAINTIESThe achievement of RioCan’s objectives is, in part, dependent on the successful mitigation of business risks identified. Real estateinvestments are subject to a degree of risk. They are affected by various factors including changes in general economic and localmarket conditions, equity and credit markets, fluctuations in interest costs, the attractiveness of the properties to tenants,competition from other available space, the stability and credit-worthiness of tenants, currency and exchange rate risks andvarious other factors.

Liquidity and General Market Conditions

RioCan faces risks associated with general market conditions and their potential consequent effects. Current general marketconditions may include, among other things, the insolvency of market participants, tightening lending standards and decreasedavailability of cash, and changes in unemployment levels, retail sales levels, and real estate values. These market conditions mayaffect occupancy levels and RioCan’s ability to obtain credit on favourable terms or to conduct financings through the publicmarket.

Tenant Concentrations, Occupancy Levels and Defaults

The value of RioCan’s real estate and any improvements thereto, may depend on the credit and financial stability of tenants. TheTrust’s financial position would be adversely affected if a significant number of tenants were to become unable to meet theirobligations to RioCan or if RioCan were unable to lease a significant amount of available space in the properties on economicallyfavourable lease terms.

With respect to tenant concentration risk, in the event a given tenant, or group of tenants, experience financial difficulty and isunable to fulfill its lease commitments, or a given geographical area suffers an economic decline, the Trust could experience adecline in revenue.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

In order to reduce RioCan’s exposure to the risks relating to credit and the financial stability of tenants, the Trust’s Declarationrestricts the amount of space which can be leased to any person and that person’s affiliates, other than in respect of leases with orguaranteed by the Government of Canada, a province of Canada, a municipality in Canada or any agency thereof and certaincorporations, the securities of which meet stated investment criteria, to a maximum premises or space having an aggregate grossleasable area of 20% of the aggregate gross leasable area of all real property held by RioCan. At December 31, 2013, RioCan was incompliance with this restriction.

RioCan’s operating results may be adversely impacted by a decline in revenues if the Trust is unable to maintain the existingoccupancy levels of its properties, if existing tenants experience financial difficulty and become unable to fulfill their leasecommitments, if RioCan becomes unable to attract new tenants at rental rates similar to those paid by existing tenants, or ifexisting tenants do not renew at the expiry of the lease term and such space cannot be re-leased. As well, certain significantexpenditures involved in real property investments, such as property taxes, maintenance costs and mortgage payments, representobligations that must be met regardless of whether the property is producing sufficient, or any, revenue.

At December 31, 2013, RioCan had NLA, at its interest, of 49.2 million square feet and a portfolio occupancy rate of 96.9%. Basedon the Trust’s current annualized rental revenue on a weighted average portfolio basis of approximately $23 per square foot, forevery fluctuation in occupancy by a differential of 1%, the Trust’s operations would be impacted by approximately $11 millionannually.

RioCan’s aggregate lease renewals over the next five years represent annual net rent payments of approximately $425 millionbased on current contractual rental rates. Should such tenancies be renewed upon maturity at an aggregate rental rate differentialof 100 basis points, the Trust’s operations would be impacted by approximately $4 million annually.

RioCan strives to manage tenant concentration risk through geographical diversification (See “Asset Profile”) and diversification ofrevenue sources in order to avoid dependence on any single tenant. RioCan’s objective, as exemplified by the requirements of itsDeclaration noted above, is that no individual tenant contributes a significant percentage of its gross revenue and that aconsiderable portion of the Trust’s revenue is earned from national and anchor tenants (see “About RioCan”). RioCan attempts tolease to creditworthy tenants and will generally conduct credit assessments for new tenants. RioCan attempts to reduce its risksassociated with occupancy levels and lease renewal risk by having staggered lease maturities, negotiating leases with base termsbetween five and ten years, and by negotiating longer term leases with built-in minimum rent escalations where deemedappropriate.

Access to Debt and Equity Capital

A risk to the Trust’s growth program and the refinancing of its debt upon maturity is that of not having sufficient debt and equitycapital available to RioCan. Given the relatively small size of the Canadian marketplace, there are a limited number of lenders fromwhich RioCan can borrow. RioCan’s financial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected if it were unable toobtain financing or cost-effective financing.

At December 31, 2013, RioCan’s total indebtedness had a 4.7 year weighted average term to maturity bearing a weighted averagecontractual interest rate of 4.3% per annum.

Interest Rates

RioCan’s operations are impacted by interest rates, as interest expense represents a significant cost in the ownership of realestate investments. At December 31, 2013, RioCan had aggregate contractual debt comprised of mortgages and debenturespayable having principal maturities through to December 31, 2016 of $1.9 billion (34.4% of the aggregated debt) with a weightedaverage contractual interest rate of 4.6%. Should such amounts be refinanced upon maturity at an aggregate interest ratedifferential of 100 basis points, RioCan’s operations would be impacted by approximately $19.1 million annually.

119RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT 2013

Page 124: focused on the€¦ · focused on the RIOCAN FINANCIAL ANNuAL RepORt 20_13. RIOCAN FINANCIAL Annual Report 20 13 2-3 taBle oF ContentS 1_Property Portfolio 14_Financial Review –

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

RioCan seeks to reduce its interest rate risk by staggering the maturities of long term debt and limiting the use of floating ratedebt so as to minimize exposure to interest rate fluctuations. At December 31, 2013, 8.0 % of the Trust’s aggregate debt was atfloating interest rates.

From time to time, the Trust may enter into interest rate swap transactions to modify the interest rate profile of its current orfuture variable rate debts without an exchange of the underlying principal amount.

Relative Illiquidity of Real Property

Real estate investments are relatively illiquid. This will tend to limit the Trust’s ability to sell components of the portfolio promptlyin response to changing economic or investment conditions. If RioCan were required to quickly liquidate its assets, there is a riskthat the Trust would realize sale proceeds of less than the current book value of its real estate investments.

Unexpected Costs or Liabilities Related to Acquisitions

A risk associated with real property acquisition is that there may be an undisclosed or unknown liability concerning the acquiredproperties, and RioCan may not be indemnified for some or all of these liabilities. Following an acquisition, RioCan may discoverthat it has acquired undisclosed liabilities, which may be material.

RioCan conducts what it believes to be an appropriate level of investigation in connection with its acquisition of properties andseeks through contract to ensure that risks lie with the appropriate party.

Construction

RioCan’s construction commitments are subject to those risks usually attributable to construction projects, which include:(i) construction or other unforeseen delays including municipal approvals; (ii) cost overruns; and (iii) the failure of tenants tooccupy and pay rent in accordance with existing lease agreements, some of which are conditional. Construction risks areminimized through the provisions of the Trust’s Declaration, which have the effect of limiting direct and indirect investments, net ofrelated mortgage debt, in non-income producing properties to no more than 15% of the Adjusted Book Value of RioCan’sunitholders’ equity. RioCan also seeks to undertake such developments with established developers. With some exceptions forland in the high growth markets, RioCan will generally not acquire or fund significant expenditures for undeveloped land unless itis zoned and an acceptable level of space has been pre-leased or pre-sold. An advantage of unenclosed, new format retail is that itlends itself to phased construction keyed to leasing levels, which reduces the creation of significant amounts of vacant butdeveloped space.

Environmental Matters

Environmental and ecological related policies have become increasingly important in recent years. Under various federal,provincial, state and municipal laws, RioCan, as an owner or operator of real property, could become liable for the costs of removalor remediation of certain hazardous or toxic substances released on or in its properties or disposed of at other locations. Thefailure to remove or remediate such substances, or address such matters through alternative measures prescribed by thegoverning authority, may adversely affect RioCan’s ability to sell such real estate or to borrow using such real estate as collateral,and could, potentially, also result in claims against the Trust. RioCan is not currently aware of any material non-compliance,liability or other claim in connection with any of its properties, nor is RioCan currently aware of any environmental condition withrespect to any properties that it believes would involve material expenditures by the Trust.

It is the Trust’s policy to obtain a Phase I environmental audit conducted by a qualified environmental consultant prior to acquiringany additional property. In addition, where appropriate, tenant leases generally specify that the tenant will conduct its business inaccordance with environmental regulations and be responsible for any liabilities arising out of infractions to such regulations. It isRioCan’s practice to regularly inspect tenant premises that may be subject to environmental risk. The Trust maintains insurance tocover a sudden and/or accidental environmental mishap.

Legal Risks

RioCan’s operations are subject to a wide variety of laws and regulations across all of its operating jurisdictions and RioCan facesrisks associated with legal and regulatory changes and litigation. RioCan retains external legal consultants to assist it in remainingcurrent and compliant with legal and regulatory changes and to respond to litigation.

Human Resources and Key Personnel

RioCan faces certain human resource risks, including the risk that it will not have the necessary human resources to performsuccessfully. RioCan relies on the services of certain key personnel on its executive team, including its Chief Executive Officer,Edward Sonshine, its President and Chief Operating Officer, Frederic Waks, and its Executive Vice President and Chief FinancialOfficer, Raghunath Davloor, and the loss of their services could have an adverse effect on RioCan. RioCan mitigates key personnelrisks through succession planning.

MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS

Unitholder Liability

There is a risk that RioCan’s unitholders could become subject to liability. The Trust’s Declaration provides that no unitholder orannuitant under a plan of which a unitholder acts as trustee or carrier will be held to have any personal liability as such, and thatno resort shall be had to the private property of any unitholder or annuitant for satisfaction of any obligation or claim arising out ofor in connection with any contract or obligation of RioCan. Only RioCan’s assets are intended to be subject to levy or execution. TheDeclaration further provides that, whenever possible, certain written instruments signed by RioCan must contain a provision to theeffect that such obligation will not be binding upon unitholders personally or upon any annuitant under a plan of which a unitholderacts as trustee or carrier. In conducting its affairs, RioCan has acquired and may acquire real property investments subject toexisting contractual obligations, including obligations under mortgages and leases that do not include such provisions. RioCan willuse its best efforts to ensure that provisions disclaiming personal liability are included in contractual obligations related toproperties acquired, and leases entered into, in the future.

Certain provinces have legislation relating to unitholder liability protection, including British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan,Manitoba, Ontario and Quebec. To RioCan’s knowledge, certain of these statutes have not yet been judicially considered and it ispossible that reliance on such statute by a unitholder could be successfully challenged on jurisdictional or other grounds.

Income Taxes

RioCan currently qualifies as a mutual fund trust and REIT for income tax purposes. RioCan expects to distribute all of the Trust’staxable income to unitholders and is, therefore, generally not subject to tax on such amounts. In order to maintain RioCan’scurrent mutual fund trust status, the Trust is required to comply with specific restrictions regarding its activities and theinvestments held by the Trust. If the Trust were to cease to qualify as a mutual fund trust, or a REIT for income tax purposes, theconsequences could be material and adverse.

No assurance can be given that the provisions of the Income Tax Act (Canada) regarding mutual fund trusts and REITs will not bechanged in a manner that adversely affects RioCan and its unitholders.

United States Investment, Management Platform and Currency Risk

RioCan intends to continue to make acquisitions from time to time in the United States as determined to be appropriate ordesirable. It is possible that such additional acquisitions may not be completed. Further there may be a lack of availability ofacquisition opportunities and exposure to economic, real estate and capital market conditions in the United States.

RioCan’s recent development of a property management platform in the US will expand the Trust’s direct involvement in the USreal estate market. The US real estate market differs from the Canadian environment in many ways and the Trust’s expertise andexperience in Canada may not prove beneficial in a foreign jurisdiction. The Trust is mitigating the risks relating to its entry intoand exposure to the US by hiring US based employees with real estate experience, and making investments of moderate scale.There can be no certainty, however, that RioCan’s US investments will be successful.

Additionally, it is possible that the Trust’s US investments will expose the Trust to foreign exchange fluctuations. The Trust will inpart mitigate this risk through the use of US denominated debt.

As at December 31, 2013 the Trust’s US denominated assets and liabilities are $754 million such that a 1% change in the value ofthe US dollar will result in a gain or loss to the Trust of approximately $7.5 million to other comprehensive income andapproximately $1 million to consolidated net earnings.

Credit Ratings

Real or anticipated changes in credit ratings on RioCan’s debentures or Preferred Units may affect the market value thereof. Inaddition, real or anticipated change in credit ratings can affect the cost at which RioCan can access the debenture or preferred unitmarket, as applicable.

Management’s Responsibi l i ty for Financial Report ing

The management of RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (RioCan) is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of theaccompanying annual consolidated financial statements and Management’s Discussion and Analysis (MD&A). The consolidatedfinancial statements have been prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS).

The consolidated financial statements and information in the MD&A necessarily include amounts based on best estimates andjudgments by management of the expected effects of current events and transactions with the appropriate consideration tomateriality. In addition, in preparing this financial information, we must make determinations about the relevancy of information tobe included, and estimates and assumptions that affect the reported information. The MD&A also includes information regardingthe impact of current transactions and events, sources of liquidity and capital resources, operating trends, risks and uncertainties.Actual results in the future may differ materially from our present assessment of this information because future events andcircumstances may not occur as expected.

In meeting our responsibility for the integrity and fairness of the annual consolidated financial statements and MD&A and for theaccounting systems from which they are derived, management has established the necessary internal controls designed to ensurethat our financial records are reliable for preparing financial statements and other financial information, transactions are properlyauthorized and recorded, and assets are safeguarded against unauthorized use or disposition.

As at December 31, 2013, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer evaluated, or caused an evaluation under theirdirect supervision, of the design and operation of our internal controls over financial reporting (as defined in National Instrument52-109, Certification of Disclosure in Issuers’ Annual and Interim Filings) and, based on that assessment, determined that our internalcontrols over financial reporting were appropriately designed and operating effectively.

The Board of Trustees oversees management’s responsibility for financial reporting through an Audit Committee, which iscomposed entirely of independent trustees. This committee reviews RioCan’s annual consolidated financial statements and MD&Awith both management and the independent auditors before such statements are approved by the Board of Trustees. Other keyresponsibilities of the Audit Committee include selecting RioCan’s auditors, approving the unaudited interim condensedconsolidated financial statements and MD&A, and monitoring RioCan’s existing systems of internal controls.

Ernst & Young LLP, independent auditors appointed by the unitholders of RioCan upon the recommendation of the Board ofTrustees, have examined our 2013 and 2012 annual consolidated financial statements and have expressed their opinion upon thecompletion of such examination in the following report to the unitholders. The auditors have full and free access to, and meet atleast quarterly with, the Audit Committee to discuss their audits and related matters.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To the Unitholders of

RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, which comprise theconsolidated balance sheets as at December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012, and the consolidated statementsof earnings, changes in equity, comprehensive income, and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, and asummary of significant accounting policies and other explanatory information.

Management’s responsibility for the consolidated financial statementsManagement is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance withInternational Financial Reporting Standards, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable thepreparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

Auditors’ responsibilityOur responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We conducted ouraudits in accordance with Canadian generally accepted auditing standards. Those standards require that we comply with ethicalrequirements and plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financialstatements are free from material misstatement.

An audit involves performing procedures to obtain audit evidence about the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financialstatements. The procedures selected depend on the auditors’ judgment, including the assessment of the risks of materialmisstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error. In making those risk assessments, theauditors consider internal control relevant to the entity’s preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statementsin order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion onthe effectiveness of the entity’s internal control. An audit also includes evaluating the appropriateness of accounting policies usedand the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of theconsolidated financial statements.

We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained in our audits is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our auditopinion.

OpinionIn our opinion, the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of RioCan RealEstate Investment Trust as at December 31, 2013, December 31, 2012, and January 1, 2012, and its financial performance and itscash flows for the years ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards.

RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Audited – Canadian dollars, tabular amounts in mil l ions, except per unit amounts or unless otherwise noted)

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

1. Trust InformationRioCan Real Estate Investment Trust (the Trust or RioCan) is an unincorporated “closed-end” trust governed by the laws of theProvince of Ontario and constituted pursuant to a Declaration of Trust dated November 30, 1993, as most recently amended andrestated on June 5, 2013 (the Declaration). The Trust’s Units are listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange (the TSX) under the symbolREI.UN. Preferred Units, Series A and Series C of the Trust are listed on the TSX under the symbols REI.PR.A and REI.PR.C,respectively.

The Trust’s registered office is located at 2300 Yonge Street, Suite 500, Toronto, Ontario, M4P 1E4.

The Trust’s principal business activities are owning, developing and operating shopping centres in Canada and the United States.

These consolidated financial statements of the Trust for the year ended December 31, 2013 and 2012 were authorized for issue inaccordance with a resolution of the Board of Trustees (the Board) on February 12, 2014.

2. Significant accounting policies(a) Basis of preparation and statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) asissued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB).

These consolidated financial statements of the Trust have been prepared on a cost basis, except for investment property, derivativefinancial instruments and available-for-sale financial assets, which have been measured at fair value. These consolidated financialstatements are presented in Canadian dollars and all values are rounded to the nearest million, except where otherwise indicated.

The Trust presents its consolidated balance sheets based on the liquidity method, whereby all assets and liabilities are presentedin increasing order of liquidity. The notes to the consolidated financial statements distinguish between current and non-currentassets and liabilities. Note 7(b) provides information on the Trust’s current assets and current liabilities.

(b) Principles of consolidation

(i) Subsidiaries

These consolidated financial statements include the assets, liabilities and result of operations of the Trust and its subsidiaries,after elimination of inter-company transactions and balances. Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the date of acquisition,being the date on which the Trust obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. Thefinancial statements of subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the Trust using consistent accountingpolicies.

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Trust and its consolidated subsidiaries, which are theentities over which the Trust has control. Control is achieved when the Trust is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns fromits involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

When RioCan does not own all of the equity in a subsidiary, the non-controlling equity interest is generally disclosed in theconsolidated balance sheet as a separate component of total equity.

(ii) Investment in associates and joint ventures

Associates are entities over which the Trust has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over the financial andoperating policy decisions of the entity.

A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to thenet assets of the joint venture. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists onlywhen decisions about the relevant activities require unanimous consent of the parties sharing control.

The Trust’s investments in its associates and joint ventures are accounted using the equity method and initially recorded atcost and adjusted by post-acquisition changes in RioCan’s share of the net assets of the associate. The statement of earningsreflects the Trust’s share of the result of operations of the associate or joint venture.

The financial statements of the equity-accounted investments are prepared for the same reporting period as the Trust. Wherenecessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Trust.

(iii) Joint operations

A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to theassets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement. Those parties are called joint operators. The Trustrecognizes its share of the assets and liabilities, and benefits generated from the asset in proportion to its rights.

RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Audited – Canadian dollars, tabular amounts in mil l ions, except per unit amounts or unless otherwise noted)

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

(c) Business combinations

At the time of acquisition of property, whether through a controlling share investment or directly, the Trust considers whether theacquisition represents the acquisition of a business. The Trust accounts for an acquisition as a business combination where anintegrated set of activities is acquired in addition to the property. More specifically, consideration is made of the extent to whichsignificant processes are acquired. If no, or only insignificant processes are acquired, the acquisition is treated as an assetacquisition rather than a business combination.

The cost of a business combination is measured as the fair value of the assets given, equity instruments issued and liabilitiesincurred or assumed at the acquisition date. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in abusiness combination are measured initially at fair value at the date of acquisition. The Trust recognizes assets or liabilities, if any,resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement at their acquisition date fair value and such amounts form part of the costof the business combination. Subsequent changes in the fair value of contingent consideration arrangements are recognized in netearnings. The difference between the purchase price and the Trust’s net fair value of the acquired identifiable net assets andliabilities is goodwill. On the date of acquisition, the purchaser records positive goodwill as an asset. Negative goodwill isimmediately recognized in the consolidated statements of earnings. Goodwill is not amortized and must be tested for impairmentat least annually, or more frequently, if events or changes in circumstances indicate that impairment has occurred.

The Trust expenses transaction costs associated with business combinations in the period incurred.

When an acquisition does not represent a business, it is accounted for as an acquisition of a group of assets and liabilities, the costof the acquisition including transaction costs is allocated to the assets and liabilities acquired based upon their relative fair values,and no goodwill is recognized.

(d) Fair value measurement

The Trust measures financial instruments, such as derivatives, and non-financial assets, such as investment properties, at fairvalue at each balance sheet date. Fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in anorderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The fair valuemeasurement is based on the presumption that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

• In the principal market for the asset or liability, or

• In the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability

The principal or the most advantageous market must be accessible by the Trust.

The fair value of an asset or a liability is measured using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing theasset or liability assuming that market participants act in their economic best interests.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into account a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefitsby using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highestand best use.

The Trust uses valuation techniques that are appropriate in the circumstances and for which sufficient data are available tomeasure fair value, maximizing the use of relevant observable inputs and minimizing the use of unobservable inputs.

All assets and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fairvalue hierarchy, described as follows, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole:

• Level 1 — Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities

• Level 2 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is directly orindirectly observable

• Level 3 — Valuation techniques for which the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement is unobservable

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Trust determines whethertransfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization (based on the lowest level input that issignificant to the fair value measurement as a whole) at the end of each reporting period.

For the purpose of fair value disclosures, the Trust has determined classes of assets and liabilities on the basis of the nature,characteristics and risks of the asset or liability and the level of the fair value hierarchy as explained above.

RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Audited – Canadian dollars, tabular amounts in mil l ions, except per unit amounts or unless otherwise noted)

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

(e) Investment property

Investment property is held to earn rental revenue or for capital appreciation or both. A key characteristic of an investmentproperty is that it generates cash flows largely independently of the other assets held by an entity.

Real estate property held under an operating lease is not classified as investment property. Instead, these leases are accountedfor in accordance with IAS 17, Leases. However, certain land leases held under an operating lease are classified as investmentproperty when the definition of an investment property is met. At the inception of these leases, investment property is recognizedat the lower of the fair value of the property and the present value of the future minimum lease payments and an equivalentamount is recognized as a lease liability.

(i) Income properties

Income properties are initially measured at cost. Subsequent to initial recognition, income properties are recorded at fairvalue and related gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in net earnings in the period of change. Thedetermination of fair value is based on, among other things, rental revenue from current leases and reasonable andsupportable assumptions that represent what knowledgeable, willing parties would assume about rental revenue from futureleases in light of current conditions, less future cash outflows in respect of tenant installation costs, income propertyoperations, and capital expenditures.

(ii) Properties under development

Properties under development include those properties, or components thereof, that will undergo activities that will take asubstantial period of time to complete in order to prepare the properties for their use as income properties.

The cost of a development property that is an asset acquisition comprises the amount of cash, or the fair value of the otherconsideration, given to acquire the property including transaction costs.

Subsequent to acquisition, the cost of a property under development includes third party and direct internal development andinitial leasing costs, property taxes, and interest on both specific and general debt.

Direct and indirect borrowing costs, direct internal development costs, and property taxes are capitalized when developmentactivities that change the property’s condition occur.

Interest capitalized is calculated using the Trust’s weighted average cost of borrowing after adjusting for borrowingassociated with specific developments. Where borrowing is associated with specific developments, the amount capitalized isthe gross interest incurred on such borrowing less any investment income arising on temporary investment of suchborrowing. Interest is capitalized from commencement of development work until the date of substantial completion.Capitalization of finance costs is suspended if there are prolonged periods when development activity is interrupted. Interest isalso capitalized on the purchase cost of a property acquired specifically for redevelopment, where activities necessary toprepare the asset for redevelopment are in progress.

Capitalization of costs to properties under development continues until all the activities necessary to prepare the property foruse as a rental property is substantially complete.

Properties under development are also adjusted to fair value at each balance sheet date with fair value adjustmentsrecognized in net earnings.

(iii) Properties held for resale

Properties held for resale are properties acquired or developed by the Trust of which it has no intention of them being used ona long-term basis and the Trust plans to dispose of in the ordinary course of business. The Trust expects to earn a return onsuch assets through a combination of property operating income earned during the holding period and sales proceeds.Properties held for resale are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. No amortization is recorded on these assets.

(f) Revenue recognition

Revenue is recognized to the extent that it is probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Trust and the revenue can bereliably measured. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received. The following specific recognition criteriamust also be met before revenue is recognized:

(i) Rental revenue

The Trust has not transferred substantially all of the benefits and risks of ownership of its investment properties and,therefore, the Trust accounts for leases with its tenants as operating leases. Rental revenue includes all amounts earned fromtenants related to lease agreements including property tax and operating cost recoveries.

RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Audited – Canadian dollars, tabular amounts in mil l ions, except per unit amounts or unless otherwise noted)

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

The Trust reports minimum rental revenue on a straight-line basis, whereby the total amount of cash to be received under alease is recognized in net earnings in equal periodic amounts over the term of the lease. Contingent rents are recognized asrevenue in the period in which they are earned.

Amounts payable by tenants to terminate their lease prior to their contractual expiry date (lease cancellation fees) areincluded in rental revenue.

Initial direct costs incurred in negotiating an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the leased asset. Tenantincentives are recognized as a reduction of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(ii) Fees and other income

The Trust has interests in various investment properties through joint arrangements and investments in associates. Generally,the Trust provides asset and property management services to co-owners, partners, and third parties for which it earnsmarket based fees.

Fees are recognized as the service or contract activity is performed using the percentage of completion method. Under thepercentage of completion method, where services are provided over a specific period of time, revenue is recognized on astraight-line basis unless there is evidence that some other method would better reflect the pattern of performance. Wherethe contract outcome cannot be measured reliably, revenue is recognized only to the extent that the expenses incurred areeligible to be recovered.

Other income includes dividends declared on the Trust’s available for sale assets and is included in earnings when declared.

(iii) Properties held for resale

Revenue from completed properties held for resale is recognized when following conditions are met: the Trust hastransferred to the purchaser the significant risks and rewards of ownership, the Trust has no continuing managerialinvolvement in the property, revenues and costs can be reliably measured and the purchaser has made a substantialcommitment demonstrating its intent to honour its obligation, and collection of any additional consideration is reasonablyassured.

For individual units in condominium projects that are sold separately, the Trust recognizes revenue on the sale of individualunits upon the buyer taking occupancy of a unit.

For arrangements involving multiple elements, the Trust allocates the consideration to each element based on relative fairvalues.

(iv) Interest income

Revenue is recognized as interest accrues using the effective interest method.

(g) Unit-based compensation plans

(i) Equity settled

The Trust and its subsidiaries issue share-based awards to certain employees. The cost of equity-settled share-basedpayment transactions equals the fair value of each tranche of options as at their grant date. The cost of the stock options isrecognized on a proportionate basis consistent with the vesting features of each tranche of the grant.

(ii) Cash settled

The Trust has a Restricted Share Unit (REU) plan which provides for an allotment of REUs to each non-employee trustee. Thecost of cash-settled share-based payment transactions is measured at fair value, and expensed over the vesting period withthe recognition of a corresponding liability. The liability is re-measured at each reporting date at fair value with the vestedchanges in fair value recognized in net earnings.

(h) Financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets include the Trust’s accounts receivable, mortgages and loans receivable, cash and equivalents, investments incommon shares, and interest rate swaps. Financial liabilities include the Trust’s operating lines of credit, mortgages anddebentures payable and accounts payable and accrued liabilities.

(i) Recognition and measurement of financial instruments

The Trust determines the classification of its financial assets and liabilities at initial recognition. Financial instruments arerecognized initially at fair value and, in the case of financial assets and liabilities carried at amortized cost, adjusted fordirectly attributable transaction costs.

134RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUST ANNUAL REPORT 2013

RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Audited – Canadian dollars, tabular amounts in mil l ions, except per unit amounts or unless otherwise noted)

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

Measurement in subsequent periods depends on whether the financial instrument has been classified as held-for-trading,loans and receivables, available-for-sale, held-to-maturity, or other liabilities.

(1) Held-for-trading

Financial assets and financial liabilities classified as held-for-trading are required to be measured at fair value with gainsand losses recognized in net earnings. Transaction costs are expensed as incurred for a financial instrument classified asheld-for-trading. Other than cash and equivalents, the Trust has no significant financial instruments classified as held-for-trading.

Derivative instruments are recorded on the consolidated balance sheets at fair value including those derivatives that areembedded in a financial instrument or other contract but are not closely related to the host financial instrument orcontract. Changes in the fair values of derivative instruments are required to be recognized in net earnings, except forderivatives that are designated as a cash flow hedge, in which case the fair value change for the effective portion of suchhedging relationship is required to be recognized in other comprehensive income (OCI).

(2) Loans and receivables or held-to-maturity

Loans and receivables are financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments that are not quoted in an activemarket. Financial instruments with fixed or determinable payments and fixed maturities are classified as held-to-maturityonly when the Trust has the positive intention and ability to hold it to maturity.

Financial assets classified as held-to-maturity, loans and receivables and other liabilities (other than those held-for-trading) are required to be measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. This method uses an effectiveinterest rate that discounts estimated future cash receipts through the expected life of the financial asset or liability to thenet carrying amount of the financial asset or liability. Amortized cost is computed using the effective interest method lessany allowance for impairment. Gains and losses are recognized in net earnings when the loans and receivables arederecognized or impaired, as well as through amortization.

The principal categories of the Trust’s financial assets and liabilities measured at amortized cost using the effectiveinterest method include: (a) accounts receivable and payable; (b) mortgages and loans receivable and mortgages payable;and (c) debentures payable.

(3) Available-for-sale

Available-for-sale financial assets are financial assets that are designated for accounting purposes as available-for-sale orare not classified in any of the two preceding categories.

Available-for-sale financial assets are required to be measured at fair value with unrealized gains and losses recognized inOCI until the investment is derecognized or impaired, at which time the cumulative gain or loss recorded is recognized innet earnings. Investments in equity instruments classified as available-for-sale that do not have a quoted market price inan active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured are measured at cost. Other than its investments inWhitecastle New Urban Fund, LP (WCNUF I) and Whitecastle New Urban Fund 2, LP (WCNUF II), the Trust has nosignificant financial instruments classified as available-for-sale.

(ii) Impairment of financial assets

The Trust assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any objective evidence of impairment for each financial asset(or a group of financial assets). A financial asset is deemed to be impaired if there is objective evidence of impairment as aresult of an event that has occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (an incurred loss event) and that loss event has animpact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset that can be reliably estimated. Evidence of impairment mayinclude indications that the debtor(s) is experiencing financial difficulty, which may include default or delinquency in interestor principal payments, the probability that it will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, and where observabledata indicate that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows, such as changes in arrears payments oreconomic conditions that correlate with defaults.

(1) Impairment of loans and receivables

The Trust assesses whether there is objective evidence of an indicator of impairment at each balance sheet date for eachloan and receivable. If there is objective evidence that an impairment loss has occurred, the amount of the loss ismeasured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows(excluding future expected credit losses that have not yet been incurred). The carrying amount of the asset is reducedthrough the use of an allowance account and the amount of the loss is recognized in net earnings. Interest incomecontinues to be accrued on the reduced carrying amount based on the original effective interest rate of the asset. Loansand receivables, together with the associated allowance, are written off when there is no realistic prospect of future

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

recovery and all collateral has been realized or has been transferred to the Trust. If, in a subsequent year, the amount ofthe estimated impairment loss increases or decreases because of an event occurring after the impairment was recognized,the previously recognized impairment loss is increased or reduced by adjusting the allowance account. If a past write-off islater recovered, the recovery is recognized in net earnings.

The present value of the estimated future cash flows is discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate. Ifa loan has a variable interest rate, the discount rate for measuring any impairment loss is the current effective interestrate.

(2) Impairment of available-for-sale financial assets

For available-for-sale financial assets, the Trust assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidencethat an asset is impaired. In the case of equity investments classified as available-for-sale, objective evidence wouldinclude a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of the investment below its cost. Where there is evidence ofimpairment, the cumulative loss, measured as the difference between the acquisition cost and the current fair value, lessany impairment loss on that investment previously recognized in net earnings, is removed from equity and recognized innet earnings. Impairment losses on equity investments are not reversed through the statement of earnings; increases intheir fair value after impairment are recognized directly in equity. In the case of debt instruments classified as available-for-sale, impairment is assessed based on the same criteria as financial assets carried at amortized cost. Interestcontinues to be accrued at the original effective interest rate on the reduced carrying amount of the asset and is recordedas part of interest income. If, in a subsequent year, the fair value of a debt instrument increases and the increase can beobjectively related to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized in net earnings, the impairment loss isreversed through net earnings.

(iii) Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts issued by the Trust are those contracts that require a payment to be made to reimburse theholder of the guarantee for a loss it incurs because the specified debtor fails to make a payment when due in accordance withthe terms of a debt instrument. Financial guarantee contracts are recognized initially as a liability at fair value, adjusted fortransaction costs that are directly attributable to the issuance of the guarantee. Subsequently, the liability is measured at thehigher of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the balance sheet date and the initialamount recognized less cumulative amortization.

(iv) Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amounts are reported in the consolidated balance sheets ifthere is an enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or torealize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(v) Hedges

The accounting standard Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement (IAS 39) specifies the criteria under which hedgeaccounting can be applied and how hedge accounting should be executed for each of the permitted hedging strategies: fairvalue hedges, cash flow hedges, and hedges of a foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation.

From time to time, the Trust may enter into interest rate swap (option) transactions to modify the interest rate profile of itscurrent or future debts without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. In such cash flow hedging relationships, theeffective portion of the change in the fair value of the hedging derivative is recognized in OCI. The ineffective portion (asdefined for accounting purposes by the standard) is recognized in net earnings. The Trust has entered into interest rate swapson certain of its variable rate mortgages payable.

Derivatives are carried as financial assets when the fair value is positive and as financial liabilities when the fair value isnegative.

At the inception of a hedging relationship, the Trust formally designates and documents the hedge relationship to which theTrust is applying hedge accounting and the risk management objective and strategy for undertaking the hedge. Thedocumentation includes identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged item or transaction, the nature of the risk beinghedged and how the Trust will assess the hedging instrument’s effectiveness in offsetting the exposure to changes in thehedged item’s cash flows attributable to the hedged risk. Such hedges are expected to be highly effective in achievingoffsetting changes in cash flows and are assessed on an ongoing basis to determine that they actually have been highlyeffective throughout the financial reporting periods for which they were designated.

In a net investment hedging relationship, the effective portion of foreign exchange gains and losses on the hedging instrumentis recognized in OCI and the ineffective portion is recognized in net earnings. The amounts recorded in accumulated othercomprehensive income (AOCI) are recognized in net earnings upon certain reductions in the net investment in the foreignsubsidiary.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

(vi) Comprehensive income

Comprehensive income comprises net earnings and OCI, which represents changes in unitholders’ equity during a periodarising from transactions and other events with non-owner sources. OCI generally would include unrealized gains and losseson financial assets classified as available-for-sale, unrealized foreign currency translation adjustments net of hedging arisingfrom foreign operations, changes in the fair value of the effective portion of cash flow hedging instruments, and actuarial gainsand losses related to the Trust’s defined benefit pension plans. The Trust reports a consolidated statement of comprehensiveincome comprising net earnings and OCI for the period.

(v) Fair value

The fair value of a financial instrument is the amount of consideration that could be agreed upon in an arm’s lengthtransaction between knowledgeable, willing parties who are under no compulsion to act. In certain circumstances, however,the initial fair value may be based on other observable current market transactions in the same instrument withoutmodification or on a valuation technique using market based inputs. Except as noted below, the carrying value of the Trust’sfinancial assets and financial liabilities approximate their fair values because of the short period until receipt or payment ofcash. The fair values of mortgages and loans receivable are based on the current market conditions for mortgage financingloans with similar terms and risks. The fair values of term mortgages, debentures and designated hedging derivativeinstruments included in receivables and other assets and accounts payable and other liabilities are estimated based ondiscounted future cash flows using discount rates that reflect current market conditions for instruments with similar termsand risks.

(i) Income taxes

Upon qualifying as a real estate investment trust (REIT) in the fourth quarter of 2010, the Trust is considered, in substance, taxexempt and therefore does not account for income taxes. Prior to qualifying as a REIT, the Trust was considered taxable. Upon theTrust’s change in tax status, all deferred taxes of the Trust were reversed through net earnings or OCI based upon where theamounts initially arose. The Trust’s US operations are qualifying US REITs and are not subject to income taxes. The Trustconsolidates certain wholly owned incorporated entities that continue to be subject to income taxes. These taxable subsidiaries,and the Trust prior to its change in tax status, account for income taxes as follows:

(i) Current income tax

The Trust qualifies as a mutual fund trust and a REIT for income tax purposes. The Trust intends to distribute all of its taxableincome to unitholders and is entitled to deduct such distributions for income tax purposes. Accordingly, a provision for currentincome taxes payable is not required, except for amounts incurred in its incorporated Canadian taxable subsidiaries.

The Trust’s US subsidiary qualifies as a REIT for US income tax purposes. The subsidiary expects to distribute all of its UStaxable income (if any) to Canada and is entitled to deduct such distributions for US income tax purposes. Accordingly, noprovision for US current income tax payable is required.

(ii) Deferred income tax

Deferred income taxes are provided using the liability method for temporary differences at the balance sheet date between thetax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred income tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

(1) where the deferred income tax liability arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is nota business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting nor taxable income or loss; and

(2) in respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and interests in jointly controlledentities, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that thetemporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred income tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable thattaxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax creditsand unused tax losses, can be utilized except:

(1) where the deferred income tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition ofan asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neitherthe accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss; and

(2) in respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests injointly controlled entities, deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that thetemporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which thetemporary differences can be utilized.

RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Audited – Canadian dollars, tabular amounts in mil l ions, except per unit amounts or unless otherwise noted)

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to undistributed profits inthe year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted orsubstantively enacted at the balance sheet date and reflect the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in whichthe entity expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.Deferred income taxes relating to temporary differences that are in equity are recognized in equity.

Deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities of the same taxable entity related to the same taxationauthority are offset.

(j) Furniture and equipment

Furniture and computer equipment are stated at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment in value, if any.Depreciation is recorded on a straight-line basis over the following expected useful lives:

Furniture and equipment 5 yearsComputer hardware 3 yearsLeasehold improvements Lease term plus first renewal, if renewal is reasonably assured

(k) Intangible assets

The Trust’s intangible assets comprise its management information systems and computer application software that is initiallyrecognized at fair value and amortized over its estimated useful life (5-10 years) on a straight-line basis. The cost of self-builtmanagement information systems and software includes the cost of materials and direct labour. Capitalization ceases anddepreciation commences once the asset is in the location and condition necessary for it to be capable of operating in the mannerintended by management.

Non-refundable sales commissions paid with respect to the sale of inventory property, where it is probable that future economicbenefits will flow to the Trust and the asset can be measured reliably, are accounted for as an intangible asset. No amortizationprior to the recognition of revenue is recognized but rather a charge to net earnings occurs when the revenue associated with thesale is recognized. RioCan pays certain upfront non-refundable selling commissions with respect to its sale of residentialcondominium units at its development located in Toronto, Ontario at the northeast corner of Yonge and Eglinton.

(l) Cash and equivalents

Cash and equivalents comprise cash and short term investments with original maturities of three months or less.

(m) Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Trust has a present obligation (legal or constructive) as a result of a past event, it is probablethat an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and a reliable estimate can bemade of the amount of the obligation. Where the Trust expects some or all of a provision to be reimbursed, for example under aninsurance contract, the reimbursement is recognized as a separate asset but only when the reimbursement is virtually certain. Theexpense relating to any provision is presented in net earnings, net of any reimbursement. If the effect of the time value of money ismaterial, provisions are discounted using a current rate that reflects, where appropriate, the risks specific to the liability. Wherediscounting is used, the increase in the provision due to the passage of time is recognized as a finance cost.

(n) Foreign currency translation

The financial statements are presented in Canadian dollars, which is the functional currency of the Trust and the presentationcurrency for the consolidated financial statements.

Assets and liabilities of operations having a functional currency other than Canadian dollars are translated at the rate of exchangeat the balance sheet date. Revenues and expenses are translated at average rates for the period, unless exchange rates fluctuatedsignificantly during the period, in which case the exchange rates at the dates of the transaction are used. The resulting foreigncurrency translation adjustments are recognized in OCI.

Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using exchange rates prevailing at the date of thetransactions. At the end of each reporting period, foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities are translated tothe functional currency using the prevailing rate of exchange at the balance sheet date. Gains and losses on translation ofmonetary items are recognized in the consolidated statement of earnings in general and administrative expense, except for thoserelated to monetary liabilities qualifying as hedges of the Trust’s investment in foreign operations or certain intercompany loans toa foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, which are included in OCI.

On the disposal of a foreign operation, the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation that have been recognized in OCIand accumulated in the separate component of equity should be recognized in profit or loss when the gain or loss on disposal isrecognized. The Trust utilizes the direct method to determine the amount to be recognized.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

(o) Employee future benefits

The Trust operates a defined contribution pension plan and three defined benefit pension plans for certain employees. The Trustexpenses its required contributions to the defined contribution pension plan.

The cost of providing benefits under the defined benefit plans is determined separately for each plan. Actuarial gains and lossesfor the defined benefit plans are recognized in full in the period in which they occur in OCI. Such actuarial gains and losses are alsoimmediately recognized in retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods. The past service costsare recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. If the benefits havealready vested, immediately following the introduction of, or changes to, a pension plan, past service costs are recognizedimmediately.

The defined benefit asset or liability comprises the present value of the defined benefit obligation (using a discount rate based onhigh quality corporate bonds), less unamortized past service costs and less the fair value of plan assets out of which theobligations are to be settled.

(p) Significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

The preparation of the Trust’s consolidated financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates andassumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingentliabilities, at the reporting date. However, uncertainty about these assumptions and estimates could result in outcomes thatrequire a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

(i) Judgments

In the process of applying the Trust’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have themost significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

(1) Investment properties

The Trust’s accounting policies relating to investment properties are described in Note 2(e). In applying these policies,judgment is applied in determining whether certain costs are additions to the carrying amount of the property, indistinguishing between tenant incentives and improvements and for properties under development, in identifying the pointat which completion of the property occurs and identifying the directly attributable borrowing costs to be included in thecarrying value of the development property.

(2) Development costs

Development costs for properties under development are capitalized in accordance with the accounting policy in Note2(e)(ii). Initial capitalization of costs is based on management’s judgment that the development project is in activedevelopment. This amount includes capitalized direct internal development and initial leasing costs, primarily comprisingcompensation costs, property taxes and interest on both specific and general debt.

(ii) Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the balance sheet date thathave a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the nextfinancial year are discussed below.

(1) Valuation of investment properties

Estimates and assumptions used in the valuation of investment properties are described in Note 3.

(2) Fair value of financial instruments

Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet or disclosed in the notescannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the discounted cash flowsmodel. The inputs to these models are taken from observable markets where possible, but where this is not feasible, adegree of judgment is required in establishing fair values. The judgments include considerations of inputs such as liquidityrisk, credit risk and volatility. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of financialinstruments.

(3) Guarantees

The Trust reviews its contingent liabilities relating to guarantees it provides on behalf of third parties. The Trust’sguarantees remain in place for certain debts assumed by purchasers in connection with property dispositions, and willremain until such debts are extinguished or lenders agree to release RioCan’s covenants. Recourse would be available tothe Trust under these guarantees in the event of a default by the borrowers, in which case the Trust would have a claim

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

against the underlying real estate investments. A provision is recorded by the Trust when it is expected that the borrowerwill not honour its obligations as a result of the inability of the underlying assets’ performance to meet the contractual debtservice terms of the underlying debt and the fair value of the collateral assets are insufficient to cover the obligations andencumbrances in a sale between unrelated parties in the normal course of business. The Trust’s estimates of future cashflow (which amongst others, involve assumptions of estimated occupancy, rental rates and residual value) and fair valuecould vary and result in a significantly different assessment of the need for and amount of any provisions.

(4) Deferred income taxes

Deferred income taxes are determined using the liability method for temporary differences at the balance sheet datebetween the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes, and bygenerally applying the substantively enacted tax rates applicable to the Trust to such temporary differences that wouldfollow from the manner in which the Trust expects to recover or settle the carrying value of its assets and liabilities.

As of January 1, 2011, the Trust qualified as a mutual fund trust and a REIT for Canadian income tax purposes and as aresult does not account for deferred taxes (except those within certain wholly owned incorporated entities) after January 1,2011. The Trust expects to continue to qualify as a mutual fund trust and a REIT; however, should it no longer qualify itwould not be able to flow through its taxable income to unitholders and the Trust would therefore be subject to tax.

The Trust expects its US subsidiary to continue to qualify as a REIT for US tax purposes and as a result does not account fordeferred taxes related to the US subsidiary. If the US subsidiary were to no longer qualify as a US REIT, it would be subjectto tax.

(q) Changes in accounting policies

The Trust has applied, for the first time, certain standards and amendments that required restatement of previous financialstatements. On January 1, 2013, the Trust adopted the following IFRS standards as described below:

IAS 1, Presentation of Financial Statements (IAS 1)

The amendments to IAS 1 require entities to group items presented in other comprehensive income (OCI) on the basis of whetherthey will or will not subsequently be reclassified to profit or loss. Amendments to IAS 1 are applicable to annual periods beginningon or after July 1, 2012. These amendments did not result in a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

IAS 19, Employee Benefits (IAS 19)

The amendments to IAS 19 include eliminating the option to defer the recognition of gains and losses, streamlining thepresentation of changes to assets and liabilities with all changes from re-measurement to be recognized in OCI and enhancing thedisclosure of the characteristics of defined benefit plans and the risks that entities are exposed to through participation in thoseplans. This amendment did not result in a material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

IFRS 10, Consolidated Financial Statements (IFRS 10)

IFRS 10 replaces IAS 27, Consolidated and Separate Financial Statements and Standing Interpretations Committee-12, Consolidation –Special Purpose Entities. The new standard provides a single model for consolidation based on control, which exists when aninvestor is exposed to or has the right to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the current ability to affectthose returns through its power over the investee. IFRS 10 also provides guidance on how to evaluate power and requires thatcontrol be assessed as facts and circumstances change. The adoption of IFRS 10 did not have a material impact on theconsolidated financial statements.

IFRS 11, Joint Arrangements (IFRS 11)

IFRS 11 replaces IAS 31, Interests in Joint Ventures. The new standard eliminates the option to proportionately consolidate interestsin certain types of joint ventures. IAS 28, Investments in Associates has also been amended and establishes the requirements forthe application of the equity method to these investments.

Under IFRS 11, the Trust classifies its interests in joint arrangements as either joint operations or joint ventures depending on theTrust’s rights to the assets and obligations for the liabilities of the arrangements. When making this assessment, managementconsiders the structure of the arrangements, the legal form of any separate vehicles, the contractual terms of the arrangementsand other facts and circumstances.

The Trust re-evaluated its interests in joint arrangements and determined that its joint arrangements in Canada should beclassified as joint operations since the Trust has rights to and is liable for the gross cash flows of the co-owned assets. As a result,the Trust will continue to recognize its proportionate share in these Canadian joint arrangements. For certain of its jointarrangements in the United States, the Trust has determined that these arrangements are joint ventures since the Trust has rightsto and is liable for the net assets of the arrangement. As a result, the Trust no longer proportionately consolidates thesearrangements and accounts for its ownership interest using the equity method. The majority of these investments have been eitherfully consolidated or disposed of during the reporting period (note 17).

IFRS 13, Fair Value Measurement (IFRS 13)

IFRS 13 establishes a comprehensive standard for fair value measurement and establishes disclosure requirements for use acrossall IFRS standards. IFRS 13 does not change when an entity is required to use fair value, but rather provides guidance on how tomeasure fair value under IFRS when fair value is required or permitted. The application of IFRS 13 has not materially impacted thefair value measurements carried out by the Trust, but specific additional disclosures required by this standard are included innote 3 and note 27.

(r) Future changes in accounting policies

RioCan monitors the potential changes proposed by the IASB and analyzes the effect that changes in the standards may have onRioCan’s operations.

Standards issued but not yet effective up to the date of issuance of these consolidated financial statements are described below.This description is of the standards and interpretations issued, that the Trust reasonably expects to be applicable at a future date.The Trust intends to adopt these standards when they become effective.

IFRS 9, Financial Instruments (IFRS 9)

IFRS 9 as issued reflects the IASB’s work to date on the replacement of Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement(IAS 39), and applies to the classification and measurement of financial assets and financial liabilities as defined in IAS 39. InNovember 2013, the IASB issued a new version of IFRS 9 (IFRS 9 (2013)) which includes the new hedge accounting requirementsand some related amendments to IAS 39, Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement and IFRS 7, Financial Instruments:Disclosures. IFRS 9 (2013) does not have a mandatory effective date. The impact of this ongoing project will be assessed by theTrust as remaining phases of the project are completed.

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

Amendments to IAS 32, Financial Instruments: Presentation – Offsetting Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (IAS 32)

In December 2011, the IASB issued certain amendments to IAS 32, which establishes disclosure requirements that are intended tohelp clarify for financial statement users the effect or potential effect of offsetting arrangements on a company’s financial position.These amendments are effective for the Trust’s annual period beginning on January 1, 2014. The Trust has determined that theadoption of these amendments will not have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

IFRIC Interpretation 21, Levies (IFRIC 21)

IFRIC 21 clarifies that an entity recognizes a liability for a levy when the activity that triggers payment occurs, as identified by therelevant legislation. For a levy that is triggered upon reaching a minimum threshold, the interpretation clarifies that no liabilityshould be anticipated before the specified minimum threshold is reached. The IFRIC does not apply to accounting for income taxes,fines and penalties or for the acquisition of assets from governments. IFRIC 21 is effective for annual periods beginning on or afterJanuary 1, 2014. The Trust is in the process of assessing the impact of the adoption of this interpretation on its consolidatedfinancial statements.

(d) Investment properties held for sale

As at December 31, 2013, the Trust has six investment properties held for sale with an aggregate fair value of $60.2 million(December 31, 2012 - $646.5 million), which are included in income properties.

Investment Property

Included in investment property is $97.4 million (December 31, 2012 - $93.5 million) of net rents receivable arising from therecognition of rental revenue on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

Included in investment property are finance leases on properties for which the Trust has exercised its options to purchase in 2034and 2037. As at December 31, 2013, the fair value of these properties is $31.9 million (December 31, 2012 – $33.9 million).

Included in investment property are three properties, Albion Centre, Georgian Mall and Shoppers World Danforth, which aresubject to land leases from third parties. The land lease for Georgian Mall, which expires in 2020, includes a buy-out option. Theland leases for Albion Centre and Shoppers World Danforth, which both expire in 2029, do not include buy-out options. These threeproperties are operating leases, subject to IAS 40, Investment Property, and have been accounted for as finance leases andrecorded at fair value within income properties. The fair value of these three properties is $397.5 million for the land and building(December 31, 2012 - $381.3 million) and the lease obligation is $15.6 million (December 31, 2012 - $17.2 million) and is includedin accounts payable and other liabilities.

Valuation Methodology

As highlighted in note 27, the fair value methodology for the Trust’s income properties, properties under development andinvestments in equity accounted investments and joint ventures is considered Level 3, as significant unobservable inputs arerequired to determine fair value.

Management estimates the fair value of each income property internally based on a valuation technique known as the “directcapitalization income approach”. The fair value is determined by applying a capitalization rate to stabilized net operating income(NOI), which incorporates allowances for vacancy, management fees and structural reserves for capital expenditures for theproperty. The resulting capitalized value is further adjusted, where appropriate, for costs to stabilize the income andnon-recoverable capital expenditures.

Significant increases (decreases) in estimated rental value and rent growth per annum in isolation would result in a significantlyhigher (lower) fair value of income properties. Significant increases (decreases) in long-term vacancy rate (and exit yield) inisolation would result in significantly lower (higher) fair value.

Generally, a change in the assumption made for the estimated rental value is accompanied by:

• A directionally similar change in the rent growth per annum and discount rate (and exit yield)

• An opposite change in the long term vacancy rate

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

Management uses an internal valuation process to estimate the fair value of properties under development that consist ofundeveloped land on a land value per acre basis using the particular attributes of the project with respect to zoning andpre-development work performed on the site. Where a site is partially developed, the direct capitalization method is applied tocapitalize the pro forma NOI, stabilized with market allowances, from which the costs to complete the development are deducted.

Significant increases (decreases) in construction costs, cost escalation rates and estimated time to complete construction inisolation would result in a significantly lower (higher) fair value of properties under development.

The below table summarizes the key unobservable inputs:

Valuation approach Key unobservable input

9. Income TaxesThe Trust qualifies as a REIT for Canadian income tax purposes. The Trust expects to distribute all of its taxable income tounitholders and is entitled to deduct such distributions for income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision for Canadian currentincome tax payable is required, except for amounts incurred in its incorporated Canadian subsidiaries.

The Trust’s US subsidiary qualifies as a REIT for US income tax purposes. The subsidiary expects to distribute all of its US taxableincome (if any) to Canada and is entitled to deduct such distributions for US income tax purposes. Accordingly, no provision forUS current income tax payable is required.

Where an entity does not qualify as a REIT for Canadian income tax purposes, certain distributions will not be deductible by thatentity in computing its income for Canadian tax purposes. As a result, the entity will be subject to tax at a rate substantiallyequivalent to the general corporate income tax rate on distributed taxable income. Distributions paid in excess of taxable incomewill continue to be treated as a return of capital to unitholders. Undistributed taxable income is subject to the top marginalpersonal tax rate. The Trust consolidates certain wholly owned incorporated entities that remain subject to tax. The tax disclosuresand expense relate only to these entities.

23. Hedging ActivitiesFrom time to time, the Trust may enter into interest rate swap transactions to modify the interest rate profile of its current orfuture variable rate debt without an exchange of the underlying principal amount. The Trust applies hedge accounting to such cashflow hedging relationships whereby the change in the fair value of the effective portion of the hedging derivative is recognized inOCI. The ineffective portion for accounting purposes is recognized in net earnings.

Since 2009, the Trust has entered into interest rate swap agreements on floating interest rate first mortgages to hedge thevariability in cash flows attributed to fluctuating interest rates. Settlement on both the fixed and variable portion of the interest rateswaps occurs on a monthly basis. The following table summarizes the details of the interest rate swaps that are outstanding as atDecember 31, 2013:

Transaction date Original principal amountEffective fixed

interest rate Maturity date

$ 727

(i) US denominated $14 million mortgage assumed upon property acquisition.(ii) US denominated $55 million mortgage.(iii) US denominated $50 million mortgage.(iv) $8 million mortgage assumed upon property acquisition.

The Trust has assessed that there is no ineffectiveness in the hedge of its interest rate exposure. The effectiveness of the hedgingrelationships is reviewed on a quarterly basis. As an effective hedge, unrealized gains or losses on the interest rate swapagreements are recognized in OCI. As at December 31, 2013, the fair value of the interest rate swaps are, in aggregate, a netfinancial liability of $8.4 million (December 31, 2012 – $14.8 million). The associated unrealized gains or losses that are recognizedin OCI will be reclassified into net earnings in the same period or periods during which the interest payments on the hedged itemaffect net earnings.

28. Capital ManagementThe Trust defines capital as the aggregate of unitholders’ equity and debt. The Trust’s capital management framework is designedto maintain a level of capital that complies with investment and debt restrictions pursuant to RioCan’s Declaration, complies withexisting debt covenants, enables the Trust to achieve target credit ratings, funds its business strategies and builds long-termunitholder value. The key elements of RioCan’s capital management framework are approved by its unitholders via the Trust’sDeclaration of Trust and by its Board through their annual review of the Trust’s strategic plan and budget, supplemented byperiodic Board and Board Committee meetings. Capital adequacy is monitored by the Trust by assessing performance against theapproved annual plan throughout the year, which is updated accordingly, and by monitoring adherence to investment and debtrestrictions contained in the Declaration and debt covenants.

RioCan’s Declaration provides for maximum total debt levels up to 60% of Aggregate Assets (as defined in the Declaration). TheTrust is in compliance with this restriction.

Additionally, RioCan’s Declaration contains provisions that have the effect of limiting capital expended by the Trust for, amongother items, the following:

• direct and indirect investments (net of related mortgages payable) in non-income producing properties (including greenfielddevelopments and mortgages receivable to fund the Trust’s co-owners’ share of such developments) to no more than 15% of theAdjusted Unitholders’ Equity of the Trust (herein referred to as the “Basket Ratio” with Adjusted Unitholders’ Equity as defined inthe Declaration). The Trust is in compliance with this restriction;

• total investment by the Trust in mortgages receivable, other than mortgages taken back by the Trust on the sale of itsproperties, to no more than 30% of the Adjusted Unitholders’ Equity of the Trust. The Trust is in compliance with this restriction;

• any property acquired by the Trust, directly or indirectly, if the cost to the Trust of such acquisition (net of the amount ofmortgages payable assumed) exceeds 10% of the Adjusted Unitholders’ Equity of the Trust. The Trust is in compliance with thisrestriction;

• subject to the Basket Ratio, securities of an entity, other than to the extent that such securities would, for the purpose of theDeclaration, constitute an investment in real estate. The Trust is in compliance with this restriction; and

• the amount of space that can be leased or subleased to any tenant, with certain exceptions, to a maximum space having anaggregate gross leasable area of 20% of the aggregate gross leasable area of all real estate investments held by the Trust. TheTrust is in compliance with this restriction.

The Trust intends, but is not contractually obligated, to distribute to its unitholders in each year an amount not less than theTrust’s income for the year, as calculated in accordance with the Income Tax Act (Canada) (the Tax Act) after all permitteddeductions under the Tax Act have been taken. RioCan’s Trustees rely upon forward looking cash flow information, includingforecasts and budgets and the future business prospects of RioCan, to establish the level of cash distributions.

The Trust’s debentures payable have covenants that are consistent with the Debt to Aggregate Assets ratio as discussed above,maintenance of at least $1 billion of Adjusted Book Equity (defined in the indenture), and maintenance of at least an interestcoverage ratio (defined in the indenture) of 1.65 for a rolling twelve-month period.

29. Financial Instruments

(a) Fair value of financial instruments

The Trust’s receivables and other assets, mortgages and loans receivable and accounts payable and other liabilities aresubstantially carried at amortized cost, which approximates fair value. Cash and equivalents and investments are measured atfair value. The fair value of other financial instruments is based upon discounted future cash flows using discount rates thatreflect current market conditions for instruments with similar terms and risks. Such fair value estimates are not necessarilyindicative of the amounts the Trust might pay or receive in actual market transactions. Potential transaction costs have alsonot been considered in estimating fair value.

Financial instruments carried at amortized cost on the consolidated balance sheets are as follows:

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

(b) Risk management

The main risks arising from the Trust’s financial instruments are credit, interest rate, liquidity and foreign exchange risks. TheTrust’s approach to managing these risks is summarized below:

(i) Credit risk

Credit risk arises from the possibility that:

• Tenants may experience financial difficulty and be unable to fulfill their lease commitments or tenants may fail to occupyand pay rent in accordance with existing lease agreements, some of which are conditional.

• Borrowers default on the repayment of their mortgages to the Trust.

• Third parties default on the repayment of debt to the Trust (for discussion on joint arrangements, see note 17, and onguarantees, see note 32).

As discussed in note 28, RioCan’s Declaration contains provisions that have the effect of limiting the amount of space thatcan be leased to one tenant and its investment in mortgages receivable.

Additionally, the Trust mitigates tenant credit risk through geographical diversification, staggered lease maturities,diversification of revenue sources resulting from a large tenant base, avoiding dependence on any single tenant by ensuringno individual tenant contributes a significant percentage of the Trust’s gross revenue and ensuring a considerable portionof the Trust’s revenue is earned from national and anchor tenants and conducting credit assessments for new tenants.

As at December 31, 2013:

• Minimum annualized rentals (exclusive of recoverable property operating costs and taxes) for tenant leases expiring ineach of the next five years ending December 31 are as follows: 2014 – $84 million; 2015 – $76 million; 2016 – $88 million;2017 – $80 million; and 2018 – $97 million.

The above aggregate rentals over the next five years represent annual lease payments of $425 million based on currentcontractual rental rates. For every such lease renewed upon maturity at an aggregate rental rate differential of 100 basispoints, the Trust’s net earnings would be impacted by approximately $4 million annually.

• No individual tenant comprises more than approximately 5% of the Trust’s annualized rental revenue for 2013 and 2012.

• Approximately 86.2% of the Trust’s annualized rental revenue for 2013 and 2012 was derived from national and anchortenants (which tenant covenants are expected to be of higher credit quality than other tenants).

(ii) Interest rate and liquidity risks

The Trust is exposed to interest rate risk on its borrowings. Liquidity risk arises from the possibility of not having sufficientdebt and equity capital available to the Trust to fund its growth program and refinance its debts as they mature. The Trust’sfinancial condition and results of operations would be adversely affected if it were unable to obtain financing, or obtain cost-effective financing.

As discussed in note 28, RioCan’s Declaration establishes a Debt to Aggregate Assets ratio limit of 60%.

Additionally, the Trust mitigates interest rate and liquidity risks by staggering the maturity dates of its long-term debt (seenotes 7 and 8 for Aggregate Debt), by entering into interest rate swap (option) agreements (see note 23), and by limiting theuse of floating rate debt.

As at December 31, 2013:

• The Trust’s Aggregate Debt has a 4.72 year weighted average term to maturity bearing interest at a weighted averagecontractual interest rate of 4.3% per annum.

• 8% of the Trust’s Aggregate Debt is at floating interest rates as at December 31, 2013.

• The Trust’s undrawn lines of credit are $426 million (see note 7).

• The ratio of Debt, net of cash, to Total Assets, net of cash is 43.9% (see note 28).

• As at December 31, 2013, the Trust had cash and equivalents of $39 million as compared to $175 million as atDecember 31, 2012.

As at December 31, 2013, the Trust has aggregate contractual debt principal maturities through to December 31, 2016 ofapproximately $1.95 billion (32.7% of RioCan’s Aggregate Debt) with a weighted average contractual interest rate of 4.3%.

RIOCAN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT TRUSTNOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS(Audited – Canadian dollars, tabular amounts in mil l ions, except per unit amounts or unless otherwise noted)

FOR THE YEARS ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2013 AND 2012

For every such amount refinanced upon maturity at an aggregate interest rate differential of 100 basis points, the Trust’snet earnings would be impacted by approximately $19.5 million annually.

(iii) Foreign exchange risk

The Trust operates in Canada and in the US. The functional currency of the Trust is the Canadian dollar, as is the reportingcurrency. The functional currency of the Trust’s US operations is the US dollar. The Trust also holds interest bearing debtdenominated in US dollars. The Trust is exposed to both transaction and translation risk due to the volatility of foreigncurrency exchange rates, primarily arising from its US dollar denominated investments and, to a lesser extent, its monetaryassets and liabilities denominated in this currency. The carrying values of these assets and liabilities, as well as thecomprehensive income and earnings derived from them, are subject to foreign exchange rate fluctuation.

Foreign exchange risk arises because the US dollar denominated financial statements of the US operations may vary onconsolidation into Canadian dollars. Exchange gains and losses from the translation of the US operations are included inOCI. As a result, the Trust may experience translation exposures because of volatility in the exchange rate between theCanadian and US dollar.

As at December 31, 2013, the Trust’s US denominated net assets are $754 million; therefore a 1% change in the value of theUS dollar will result in a gain or loss to OCI to the Trust of approximately $7.5 million, and an approximately $1 millionimpact to consolidated net earnings.
