KEY TAKEAWAYS:
Same-center sales per square foot for the stabilized mall portfolio during the first quarter increased 4.1% compared with the prior-year quarter. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2018, same-center sales were $376 per square foot.
FFO per diluted share, as adjusted, was $0.42 for the first quarter 2018, compared with $0.52 per share for the first quarter 2017. First quarter 2018 was impacted by approximately $0.01 per share of dilution from asset sales completed in 2017, $0.05 per share of lower property NOI, lower outparcel sales of $0.02 per share, $0.03 per share higher corporate interest expense offset by $0.04 lower property level interest expense and $0.01 higher G&A expense primarily related to lower capitalized overhead, a one-time favorable accrual adjustment in the prior-year period as well as comparatively higher legal expense.
Total Portfolio Same-center NOI declined 6.8% for the first quarter 2018.
Portfolio occupancy was 91.1% as of March 31, 2018, compared with 92.1% as of March 31, 2017. Same-center mall occupancy was 89.5% as of March 31, 2018 compared with 90.4% as of March 31, 2017.
CBL completed gross asset sales of $12.3 million during the first quarter and in April entered into a binding contract for the sale of a Tier 3 mall for a gross sales price of $18.0 million.
Redevelopment activity is underway at eight properties, including five anchor redevelopments.

"First quarter results were in-line with expectations and, as anticipated, reflect the impact from 2017 and 2018 bankruptcies and rent reductions,” said Stephen Lebovitz, CBL's president & CEO.  "We were encouraged by the solid 4.1% increase in retail sales in our portfolio during the first quarter and reports from a number of brands citing marked improvement in both traffic and sales, which should lead to improved leasing metrics later in the year.  Operationally, our focus in 2018 is stabilizing revenues as well as diversifying income by adding more dining, entertainment, value and service users.
"While we are disappointed with the news of Bon-Ton liquidating, we have been proactive by preparing for this outcome.  We have identified replacement tenants for the majority of our locations and have several in advanced negotiations, including one lease already executed with a supermarket that will require zero investment by CBL.  We are estimating a total investment of $60 - $90 million for the replacement of the Bon-Ton stores in our portfolio over several years. We had already incorporated expected rent loss, including any co-tenancy impact, in our guidance for the year and are on-track to perform within that range.  
            "Actively managing our balance sheet to maximize liquidity and lengthen maturities is a top priority for us.  We are expecting to complete the refinancing of the loan secured by CoolSprings Galleria shortly.  We are also holding preliminary discussions to complete early refinancings of our unsecured term loan and line of credit that mature in 2019 and 2020, respectively, which will put us in an even stronger financial position and provide further flexibility to execute our strategies."
Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the first quarter 2018 was $10.3 million, or $(0.06) per diluted share, compared with net income of $22.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2017.
FFO allocable to common shareholders, as adjusted, for the first quarter 2018 was $72.2 million, or $0.42 per diluted share, compared with $88.4 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the first quarter 2017. FFO allocable to the Operating Partnership common unitholders, as adjusted, for the first quarter 2018 was $83.8 million compared with $103.0 million for the first quarter 2017.

CBL's definition of same-center NOI excludes the impact of lease termination fees and certain non-cash items of straight-line rents, write-offs of landlord inducements and net amortization of acquired above and below market leases.

Major variances impacting same-center NOI for the quarter ended March 31, 2018, include:

Same-center NOI declined $11.2 million, due to a $10.5 million decrease in revenue and a $0.7 million increase in operating expenses.
Minimum rents and tenant reimbursements declined $9.5 million during the quarter, primarily related to store closures and rent concessions for tenants in bankruptcy.
Percentage rents declined $0.2 million compared with the prior year quarter.
Other rents and other income declined $0.8 million.
Property operating expenses decreased $1.3 million, maintenance and repair expense increased $1.7 million, and real estate tax expenses increased $0.3 million.

DISPOSITIONS
During the quarter, CBL closed on the sale of Gulf Coast Town Center Phase III in Ft. Myers, FL, for a gross sales price of $9.0 million. CBL also completed the sale of various outparcel locations generating an aggregate $3.3 million in gross proceeds.

CBL has entered into a binding contract for the sale of Janesville Mall in Janesville, WI, for $18.0 million to RockStep Capital. The buyer has posted a significant non-refundable deposit. The disposition is expected to close summer 2018, subject to due diligence and customary closing conditions. CBL recorded an impairment charge of $18.1 million in the first quarter to write down the depreciated carrying value of the mall to its net sales price.

FINANCING ACTIVITY
In January, CBL retired the $37.5 million loan secured by Kirkwood Mall in Bismarck, ND, using availability on its lines of credit. The loan bore an interest rate of 5.75% and was scheduled to mature in April 2018.     

DEVELOPMENT
In April, CBL commenced construction on the first phase of redevelopment of the former Sears building at Brookfield Square in Milwaukee, WI. The redevelopment will deliver new dining and entertainment options, including new-to-market entertainment concept, WhirlyBall, and BistroPlexSM from Marcus Theatres®, which combines dining and moviegoing in every auditorium. Planning is underway for additional phases of the redevelopment, which will include new dining options and other non-retail uses. More details will be announced over the coming months.

OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE
CBL is maintaining 2018 FFO, as adjusted, guidance in the range of $1.70 - $1.80 per diluted share. Guidance incorporates a full-year budgeted impact of loss in rent related to 2017 tenant bankruptcies, store closures and rent adjustments net of expected new leasing as well as a reserve in the range of $10.0 - $20.0 million (the "Reserve") for potential future unbudgeted loss in rent from tenant bankruptcies, store closures or lease modifications that may occur in 2018. Based on bankruptcy and leasing activity year-to-date, including the impact of any co-tenancy, CBL expects to utilize $10.0 - $13.0 million of the Reserve.

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Funds From Operations
FFO is a widely used non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. We define FFO as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock of the Company or distributions on preferred units of the Operating Partnership, as applicable. The Company’s method of calculating FFO may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
The Company believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of its operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of the Company’s properties and interest rates, but also by its capital structure.
The Company presents both FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders and FFO allocable to common shareholders, as it believes that both are useful performance measures. The Company believes FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders is a useful performance measure since it conducts substantially all of its business through its Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of the Company’s common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company believes FFO allocable to its common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss) attributable to its common shareholders.
In the reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to the Company's common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders, located in this earnings release, the Company makes an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) of its Operating Partnership in order to arrive at FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders. The Company then applies a percentage to FFO of the Operating Partnership common unitholders to arrive at FFO allocable to its common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted-average number of common shares and the weighted-average number of Operating Partnership units held by noncontrolling interests during the period.
FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) for purposes of evaluating the Company’s operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
The Company believes that it is important to identify the impact of certain significant items on its FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of the Company's results of operations. Therefore, the Company has also presented adjusted FFO measures excluding these items from the applicable periods. Please refer to the reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders to FFO allocable to Operating Partnership common unitholders on page 9 of this news release for a description of these adjustments.

Same-center Net Operating Income
NOI is a supplemental non-GAAP measure of the operating performance of the Company's shopping centers and other properties. The Company defines NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).
The Company computes NOI based on the Operating Partnership's pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. The Company believes that presenting NOI and same-center NOI (described below) based on its Operating Partnership’s pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties is useful since the Company conducts substantially all of its business through its Operating Partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of the Company's common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company's definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies and, accordingly, the Company's calculation of NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies.
Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of the Company's shopping center properties, the Company believes that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, sales at the malls and operating costs and the impact of those trends on the Company's results of operations. The Company’s calculation of same-center NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of above and below market lease intangibles and write-off of landlord inducement assets in order to enhance the comparability of results from one period to another. A reconciliation of same-center NOI to net income is located at the end of this earnings release.
Pro Rata Share of Debt
The Company presents debt based on its pro rata ownership share (including the Company's pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding noncontrolling interests' share of consolidated properties) because it believes this provides investors a clearer understanding of the Company's total debt obligations which affect the Company's liquidity. A reconciliation of the Company's pro rata share of debt to the amount of debt on the Company's condensed consolidated balance sheet is located at the end of this earnings release.

CBL defines NOI as property operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income), less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs). Same-center NOI excludes lease termination income, straight-line rent adjustments, amortization of above and below market lease intangibles and write-offs of landlord inducement assets. We include a property in our same-center pool when we own all or a portion of the property as of March 31, 2018, and we owned it and it was in operation for both the entire preceding calendar year and the current year-to-date reporting period ending March 31, 2018. New properties are excluded from same-center NOI, until they meet this criteria. Properties excluded from the same-center pool that would otherwise meet this criteria are properties which are either under major redevelopment, being considered for repositioning, where we intend to renegotiate the terms of the debt secured by the related property or return the property to the lender, or minority interest properties in which we own an interest of 25% or less.

CBL & Associates Properties, Inc.
Supplemental Financial And Operating Information
For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2018

EBITDA for real estate ("EBITDAre") is a non-GAAP financial measure which NAREIT defines as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), plus interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, losses (gains) on the dispositions of depreciable property and impairment write-downs of depreciable property, and after adjustments to reflect the Company's share of EBITDAre from unconsolidated affiliates.  The Company also calculates Adjusted EBITDAre to exclude the non-controlling interest in EBITDAre of consolidated entities, and the Company's share of abandoned projects expense and gain or loss on extinguishment of debt. 

The Company presents the ratio of Adjusted EBITDAre to interest expense because the Company believes that the Adjusted EBITDAre to interest coverage ratio, along with cash flows from operating activities, investing activities and financing activities, provides investors an additional indicator of the Company's ability to incur and service debt.  Adjusted EBITDAre excludes items that are not a normal result of operations which assists the Company and investors in distinguishing changes related to the growth or decline of operations at our properties.  EBITDAre and Adjusted EBITDAre, as presented, may not be comparable to similar measures calculated by other companies.  This non-GAAP measure should not be considered as an alternative to net income, cash from operating activities or any other measure calculated in accordance with GAAP.  Pro rata amounts listed below are calculated using the Company's ownership percentage in the respective joint venture and any other applicable terms.

(1)
Tenant allowances, sometimes made to third-generation tenants, are recovered through minimum rents from the tenants over the term of the lease.
(2)
Renovation capital expenditures for remodelings and upgrades to enhance our competitive position in the market area. A portion of these expenditures covering items such as new floor coverings, painting, lighting and new seating areas are also recovered through tenant billings. The costs of other items such as new entrances, new ceilings and skylights are not recovered from tenants. We estimate that 30% of our renovation expenditures are recoverable from our tenants over a ten to fifteen year period.
(3)
The capital expenditures incurred for maintenance such as parking lot repairs, parking lot lighting and roofs are classified as deferred maintenance expenditures. These expenditures are billed to tenants as common area maintenance expense and the majority is recovered over a five to fifteen year period.

Exhibit 99.2

Scott:
Thank you and good morning. We appreciate your participation in the CBL Properties conference call to discuss first quarter results. Presenting on today’s call are Stephen Lebovitz, President and CEO, Farzana Khaleel, Executive Vice President and CFO and Katie Reinsmidt, Executive Vice President and CIO.
This conference call contains "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the federal securities laws. Such statements are inherently subject to risks and uncertainties. Future events and actual results, financial and otherwise, may differ materially. We direct you to the Company’s various filings with the SEC for a detailed discussion of these risks.    
A reconciliation of supplemental non-GAAP financial measures to the comparable GAAP financial measures was included in yesterday’s earnings release and supplemental that will be furnished on Form 8-K and is available in the invest section of the website at cblproperties.com.
This call is being limited to one hour. In order to provide time for everyone to ask questions, we ask that each speaker limit their questions to two and then return to the queue to ask additional questions. If you have questions that were not answered during today’s call, please reach out to Katie following the conclusion of the call.
I will now turn the call over to Mr. Lebovitz for his remarks. Please go ahead, sir.
Stephen:
Thank you, Scott and good morning everyone.
As we said in our call last quarter, 2018 will be a difficult year for CBL. While our results for the first quarter were in-line with our expectations and street estimates, I can assure you that we are not satisfied and are working diligently to improve our results. First quarter was most significantly impacted by bankruptcies and stores closures in late 2017 and additional bankruptcies in the first quarter.
Despite these challenges, we are encouraged by signs of a recovery in the general retail landscape and our portfolio. Sales for the first quarter were strong and many of our top retailers reported improved earnings. This bodes well for occupancy costs and future leasing negotiations and should lead to improved leasing metrics later in the year. One of our major goals for the year is to stabilize our operations and cash flows and these improvements are critical to this effort.
In addition, we are extremely focused on enhancing liquidity and financial flexibility, which Farzana will discuss in more detail. We are in preliminary discussions to refinance our unsecured term loan that matures late next year as well as our lines of credit, which mature in 2020. Our proactive approach will ensure we are in a strong financial position with a lengthened maturity schedule and access to capital.
This quarter we made solid progress towards diversifying our tenant base with more non-apparel users as well as renewing and expanding with successful retail concepts. In the first quarter approximately 70% of our total new leasing was executed with non-apparel tenants. These included entertainment and dining users such as Round 1, Dave & Busters and Prime 22 Steakhouse. We are also having active discussions to add new uses to our properties including hotels, multi-family, medical office and co-working locations. During the first quarter we started the permitting process for a future 292-unit apartment complex adjacent to one of our open-air centers. Under the proposed joint venture structure, our only cost will be the contribution of land we already own. We are in active negotiations on a number of similar opportunities across the portfolio. These new and unique uses contribute to the evolution of our properties to suburban town centers that supplement in-demand retail with services, restaurants, fitness, heath & wellness and more.
While disappointing, we were not surprised with the outcome of the Bon-Ton bankruptcy. As we discussed last quarter, we incorporated a potential liquidation in our reserve estimate for the year. On a full-year basis, the impact is $7.3 million in annual rent loss and up to $3.0 - $3.5 million in potential co-tenancy. We expect the former Bon-Ton stores to close by the end of August. We started the year with 16 locations. Two were announced as closing when Bon-Ton initially filed. We already have a lease executed with a supermarket for one of those locations, which does not require any investment by CBL. Construction is expected to start later this year for a 2019 opening. The other is owned in





an unconsolidated joint venture and our partner is working with a value retailer to take the space. Of the remaining 14 locations, 8 are leased, 2 are ground leased and 4 are owned by third parties. In anticipation of a liquidation we have already been in active discussions with replacements for the majority of the locations and are also working closely with the other landlords to move those replacements forward. One of the boxes is in the mall that we have under binding contract for sale. Two of the boxes are in centers that are secured by mortgage loans and we will work with the lenders to determine the impact and outcome on those specific centers and whether any investment in a redevelopment will be made. We estimate these redevelopments will cost a total of $60-90 million over the next three to four years.
With the expectation of ongoing redevelopment opportunities, we have adjusted our approach to investing in these projects and have a heightened focus on capital allocation. We are targeting more outparcel and non-retail uses which allow us to limit our investment by utilizing joint ventures, ground leases or pad sales. The steps we take to limit CBL’s capital outlay doesn’t mean that these projects are any less significant. Our tenants and other partners also make meaningful contributions. A great example is the Brookfield Square redevelopment. While our share of the development cost is approximately $28 million, overall the project encompasses an investment of nearly $100 million including other uses such as a hotel and conference center, which demonstrates the confidence that other stakeholders have in the future success of this project and property.
In addition to maximizing our redevelopment spend, we are focused on maintaining cost controls and reducing capital expenditures. This ensures that we are able to fund redevelopment activity primarily from free cash flow. Supplementing our cash flow, we raised approximately $12 million through dispositions completed in the first quarter. We entered into a binding contract with a significant non-refundable deposit for the sale of a Tier 3 property, Janesville Mall in Janesville, WI. We have a number of active negotiations occurring on additional non-core assets and will continue to opportunistically sell or joint venture assets going forward.
I will now turn the call over to Katie to discuss our operating results and investment activity.
Katie:
Thank you, Stephen.
As Stephen said, our top priority from an operational point of view is to stabilize our results. We expect to make progress on this goal in the back half of the year as we begin to benefit from the impact of leasing and redevelopment activity. For the first quarter, portfolio occupancy ended at 91.1%, down 100 basis points compared with the prior-year quarter. Same-center mall occupancy declined 90 basis points from the prior-year. Bankruptcy-related store closures impacted mall occupancy by approximately 95 basis points or 175,000-square feet for the first quarter. In addition, occupancy was impacted by the closure of 15 Teavana locations totaling 17,000-square-feet. We do expect additional occupancy pressure in the second quarter due to the closure of the Best Buy Mobile stores. We have 36 locations representing 50,000 square feet, which are all expected to close by the end of May. As a result of these closures and the new leasing coming online primarily in the back-half of the year, we expect second quarter to be our weakest from an occupancy stand-point.
During the quarter we executed over 1.1 million square feet of leases in total. On a comparable same-space basis, we signed roughly 707,000-square-feet of new and renewal mall shop leases at an average gross rent decline of 13.6%. Spreads on new leases for stabilized malls were relatively flat and renewal leases were signed at an average of 15% lower than the expiring rent. Renewal leasing activity during the quarter was negatively impacted by five renewal leases signed with Express, seven with Motherhood Maternity and 11 Hollister/Abercrombie renewals. These 23 leases represented 450 bps of the decline in renewals and 420 bps of the overall decline.
As we stated last quarter, we expect renewal spreads to remain negative for the next several quarters. We continue to work through maturing leases with certain struggling retailers as well as retailers in bankruptcy reorganization where we are negotiating occupancy cost reductions instead of allowing stores to close.
Sales were a bright spot for the first quarter with an increase of 4.1%, bringing rolling 12-month sales up one dollar to $376 per square foot. Sales were very strong in border and energy markets as we are starting to experience a rebound from the previous weakness. We also saw returning strength in a few key retailers, such as L Brands, that suffered declines last year. The extra week in January and an early Easter also helped sales results for the quarter. We anticipate sales for the full year to remain positive.





2018 will be an active redevelopment year as we have numerous openings and construction commencements planned. These projects bring new life and energy to our properties and position them for long-term success.
During the first quarter we opened a Planet Fitness at Frontier Mall in Cheyenne in the former Sports Authority space. We also opened two new restaurants on pads at Parkdale Mall in Beaumont, TX. In April, Dick’s Sporting Goods opened at Richland Mall in Waco, TX, taking space formerly occupied by mall shops and a junior anchor. Later this year we’ll open H&M and Planet Fitness as well as Outback Steakhouse at Eastland Mall in Bloomington, IL in the former JCPenney space.
Yesterday we opened a new Marshalls at York Galleria in York, PA. The 21,000-square-foot store replaced a portion of the former JCPenney location and joins the recently opened H&M and Gold’s Gym.
In April, we started construction on the Sears redevelopment at Brookfield Square in Milwaukee, WI, which was one of the stores we purchased last year through a sale-leaseback. The first phase of the project includes the new BistroPlex dine-in movie experience from Marcus Theaters and Whirlyball entertainment center. The project will also include several restaurants, a hotel and convention center as well as other attractions, which will be announced in the coming months.
At Volusia Mall in Daytona Beach, we’ve commenced construction on the former Sears Auto Center to add a Bonefish Grill, Casual Pint and Metro Diner. We have also started construction on the former Sears Auto Center here in Chattanooga at Northgate Mall, adding two new dining options with Aubrey’s and Panda Express. Openings are scheduled for later this year.
At Jefferson Mall in Louisville, KY, we are under construction to add a Round 1 entertainment center in the former Macy’s location. The opening is set for later this year.
In Greensboro at Friendly Center, we have an O2 Fitness under construction replacing a former freestanding restaurant location. The new 27,000-square-foot location is expected to open in late 2018 or early 2019.
We formed a 50/50 joint venture with an experienced self-storage developer to construct CubeSmart branded storage facilities on available land on the periphery of two of our malls. We contributed the land as our share of equity in the project with the remainder being funded by our partner and through a construction loan. The first project is under construction at our mall in Cincinnati and the second will start construction within the next two weeks at our property in St. Charles, MO. The projects are expected to open this summer.
We will have additional announcements on other redevelopment projects over the coming months as leases are executed and plans finalized.
I will now turn the call over to Farzana to discuss our financial results.    
Farzana:
Thank you, Katie.
First Quarter adjusted FFO per share was in line with street estimates at $0.42, representing a decline of $0.10 per share compared with $0.52 per share for the first quarter 2017. The majority of the variance was a result of $0.05 per share from lower property NOI and $0.02 per share lower gains on outparcel sales.
First quarter same-center NOI declined 6.8% or $11.2 million with revenues down $10.5 million and expenses increasing $0.7 million. The decline in revenues was primarily due to lower occupancy and rent reductions related to tenants in bankruptcy. Property operating expense improved by $1.3 million; however, maintenance and repair expense increased $1.7 million, which included a $1.0 million increase in snow removal expense. Real estate tax expense also increased by $0.3 million.
We are maintaining our 2018 guidance for adjusted FFO in the range of $1.70 - $1.80 per share, which assumes a same-center NOI decline of (6.75)% - (5.25)%. Guidance continues to include a top line reserve to take into consideration the impact of unbudgeted bankruptcies, store closures and rent reductions. In addition to the impact of the liquidation of Bon-Ton, year-to-date there have been a handful of bankruptcies announced, most notably Claire’s and Walking Company. Based on our Q1 results and current expectation of rent loss from rent reductions, closures and co-tenancy from activity year-to-date, we expect to utilize approximately $10 - $13 million of the reserve. We will continue to update this number as the year progresses as well as other assumptions that underlay our guidance.





We’ve continued to enhance our balance sheet by reducing total pro rata debt. As previously announced, in January we utilized $37 million of availability to retire the loan secured by Kirkwood Mall in Bismarck, ND, adding the property to our pool of unencumbered assets. We are on-track to close a new 10-year non-recourse loan secured by CoolSprings Galleria in Nashville, TN, in the near term. This new financing will extend our maturity schedule and reduce our average borrowing cost. We are also in the process of placing a new loan on The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso. We are early in the process and will provide more color on proceeds and other details at closing. We anticipate utilizing net proceeds from financings of The Outlet Shoppes at El Paso and CoolSprings as well as disposition proceeds to address the $190 million paydown of the term loan later this year.
As Stephen mentioned, we are in the process of refinancing our $350 million unsecured term loan, which has an outside maturity date in October 2019 as well as our two major lines of credit totaling $1.0 billion in capacity, which mature in 2020.
In addition to extending the maturities, our goal is to work with our bank group to right size both the term loan and the line facilities to a lower level, while still maintaining adequate capacity and flexibility. Our lines were last recast prior to the raising of the $1.4 billion of unsecured bonds and executing our major disposition program so it is appropriate to adjust our bank debt exposure relative to overall debt and future recycling of secured debt. In addition, we typically maintain a low balance on our lines of credit, preferring to fund our projects primarily through free cash flow. While we are very early in these discussions and are not able to provide specifics on term or size at this time, our banks are supportive of an early recast. We will provide more details as they are finalized.
At quarter-end, we had total pro rata debt of $4.7 billion, a reduction of more than $285 million from the prior-year period and a $24 million reduction from year-end 2017. We anticipate ending the year with lower total debt as the foreclosure of the $122 million loan secured by Acadiana Mall is finalized. We had approximately $116 million outstanding on our lines of credit at the end of the first quarter. Net debt-to-EBITDA was 6.9 times compared with 6.6 times in the prior-year period. The increase was primarily due to lower total property level NOI. We anticipate improvements in this metric in 2019 as debt is reduced and we benefit from lease-up and new NOI from projects coming online.
We extended the $10.8 million loan secured by our community center, Statesboro Crossing for a year. We are also working to extend the maturity of two unconsolidated secured loans totaling $58 million at our share for several years. The loans currently have an outside maturity date in February 2019.
I’ll now turn the call over to Stephen for concluding remarks.
Stephen:
Thank you, Farzana.
There is no doubt that we face many challenges in 2018, but we are taking a proactive approach to leasing and operations and also in managing our liquidity position and balance sheet. The progress on our balance sheet over the past year has been notable. We’ve reduced leverage, reduced borrowing costs and lengthened our maturity schedule. We are continuing these efforts by addressing our upcoming maturities well ahead of schedule.
We are also focused on managing our capital spend and funding redevelopments primarily from our significant free cash flow. These investments will generate future growth in NOI and FFO, diversifying our income streams and reinventing our properties. We are also supplementing free cash flow with asset sales, such as the ones announced this quarter. We are confident that these strategies will put CBL in a stronger position both as this year progress and the years to come.
We will now take your questions.
