Simon Property Group, Inc. Simon Property Group, L.P. Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Dollars in thousands, except share, per share, unit and per unit amounts and where indicated as in millions or billions)
Insurance We maintain insurance coverage with third-party carriers who provide a portion of the coverage for specific layers of potential losses, including commercial general liability, cyber liability, property all risk and business interruption insurance on our wholly-owned properties and non-wholly owned properties which we are contractually required to insure in the United States. Some portions of coverage, including property insurance and certain windstorm risks, not provided by third- party carriers may be insured through our wholly-owned captive insurance company, or other financial arrangements controlled by us. If required, a third-party carrier has, in turn, agreed to provide evidence of coverage for this layer of losses under the terms and conditions of the carrier’s insurance policy with us. We currently maintain insurance coverage against acts of terrorism on our wholly-owned properties and non-wholly owned properties which we are contractually required to insure in the United States on an “all risk” basis in the amount of up to $1 billion. Despite the existence of this insurance coverage, any threatened or actual terrorist attacks where we operate could adversely affect our property values, revenues, consumer traffic and tenant sales. Guarantees of Indebtedness Joint venture debt is the liability of the joint venture and is typically secured by the joint venture property, which is non-recourse to us. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Operating Partnership guaranteed joint venture related mortgage indebtedness of $118.8 million and $109.8 million, respectively. Mortgages guaranteed by the Operating Partnership are secured by the property of the joint venture which could be sold in order to satisfy the outstanding obligation and which have estimated fair values in excess of the guaranteed amount. Concentration of Credit Risk Our U.S. Malls, Premium Outlets, and The Mills rely upon anchor tenants to attract customers; however, anchors do not contribute materially to our financial results as many anchors own their spaces. No customer or tenant accounts for 5% or more of our consolidated revenues. 11. Segments and Geographic Locations Our primary business is the ownership, development and management of premier shopping, dining, entertainment and mixed-use destinations, which consist primarily of malls, Premium Outlets, and The Mills. We identify our operating segments based on how our chief operating decision maker (“CODM”) allocates resources, assesses performance, and makes decisions. Our CODM is our President and Chief Executive Officer who is actively involved in all aspects of the portfolio operations. We have aggregated our consolidated real estate operations, including malls, Premium Outlets, The Mills, and our consolidated international real estate operations into one reportable segment because they have similar economic characteristics and we provide similar products and services to similar types of, and in many cases, the same, tenants. Revenue earned from these segment operations represents substantially all of lease income reported on the consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income, all of which is generated from external customers, with the exception of eliminations made to remove our share of lease income earned from tenants in which we have an ownership interest. The primary financial measure the CODM uses to measure the operating performance of the consolidated real estate operations is net operating income (“NOI”), which is reconciled to consolidated net income below. The Company believes that NOI is helpful to investors as a measure of operating performance because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of the Company’s properties and because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs providing a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. Non-segment revenue includes Management Fees and Other revenues, described earlier in Note 3, and the majority of Other income, which primarily includes interest income and miscellaneous activities such as land sales, dividends received from certain investments and other activities as disclosed through these notes to the extent material, as well as eliminations. None of our unconsolidated investments meet the materiality threshold required for separate reporting as a reportable segment, though we have included disclosures related to the activities of these investments in Note 6.
