Cash Flows Our net cash flow from operating activities and distributions of capital from unconsolidated entities totaled $4.2 billion during 2022. In addition, we had net repayments of debt from our debt financing and repayment activities of $0.3 billion in 2022. These activities are further discussed below under “Financing and Debt.” During 2022, we also: funded the acquisition of a noncontrolling interest in Jamestown for cash consideration of $173.4 million, paid stockholder dividends and unitholder distributions totaling approximately $2.6 billion and preferred unit distributions totaling $5.3 million, funded consolidated capital expenditures of $650.0 million (including development and other costs of $108.2 million, redevelopment and expansion costs of $282.5 million, and tenant costs and other operational capital expenditures of $259.3 million),
funded investments in unconsolidated entities of $235.8 million, and funded the repurchase of $180.4 million of Simon’s common stock.
In general, we anticipate that cash generated from operations will be sufficient to meet operating expenses, monthly debt service, recurring capital expenditures, and dividends to stockholders and/or distributions to partners necessary to maintain Simon’s REIT qualification on a long-term basis. In addition, we expect to be able to generate or obtain capital for nonrecurring capital expenditures, such as acquisitions, major building redevelopments and expansions, as well as for scheduled principal maturities on outstanding indebtedness, from the following, however a severe and prolonged disruption and instability in the global financial markets, including the debt and equity capital markets, may affect our ability to access necessary capital: excess cash generated from operating performance and working capital reserves, borrowings on the Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper program,
additional secured or unsecured debt financing, or additional equity raised in the public or private markets.
We expect to generate positive cash flow from operations in 2023, and we consider these projected cash flows in our sources and uses of cash. These cash flows are principally derived from rents paid by our tenants. A significant deterioration in projected cash flows from operations, could cause us to increase our reliance on available funds from the Credit Facilities and Commercial Paper program, further curtail planned capital expenditures, or seek other additional sources of financing.

Borrowings may be denominated in U.S. dollars, Euro, Yen, Pounds, Sterling, Canadian dollars and Australian dollars.
