Vornado Announces its Share of Toys “R” Us Fourth Quarter Net Income

and Offsetting Impairment Loss

PARAMUS, NEW JERSEY,..…. In the quarter ended December 31, 2012, Vornado Realty Trust (NYSE:VNO) recorded a $40,000,000 non-cash impairment loss with regards to its investment in Toys “R” Us and disclosed, that if current facts don’t change, its share of Toys’ undistributed income, which in accordance with the equity method of accounting, would increase the carrying amount of its investment above fair value, would require an offsetting impairment loss.

Vornado Realty Trust announced today that in its first quarter ended March 31, 2013 it has recognized its 32.5% share of Toys “R” Us net income of $78,542,000 and a corresponding non-cash impairment loss of the same amount.  Vornado’s income applicable to Toys after the impairment loss in the quarter ended March 31, 2013 is $1,759,000, or $0.01 per diluted share, representing management fees earned which are not subject to impairment.  Vornado’s income applicable to Toys in the quarter ended March 31, 2012 was $116,471,000, or $0.57 per diluted share.

Vornado’s share of Toys’ Funds From Operations (“FFO”) after the impairment loss is $16,685,000 (which represents depreciation), or $0.08 per diluted share, compared to $132,288,000, or $0.65 per diluted share in the quarter ended March 31, 2012.  Vornado’s share of Toys FFO will be treated as non-comparable for both this year and last year.

The business of Toys is highly seasonal; historically, Toys’ fourth quarter net income accounts for more than 80% of its fiscal year net income.

Attached is a summary of Toys’ financial results and Vornado’s 32.5% share of its equity in Toys’ net income, as well as reconciliations of net income to earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (“EBITDA”) and FFO.

Vornado Realty Trust is a fully-integrated equity real estate investment trust.

(1) EBITDA represents “Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization.” Management considers EBITDA a supplemental measure for making decisions and assessing the unlevered performance of its segments as it relates to the total return on assets as opposed to the levered return on equity.  EBITDA should not be considered a substitute for net income. EBITDA may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.

     _________________

(1) FFO is computed in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  NAREIT defines FFO as GAAP net income or loss adjusted to exclude net gains from sales of depreciated real estate assets, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization expense from real estate assets, extraordinary items and other specified non-cash items, including the pro rata share of such adjustments of unconsolidated subsidiaries.  FFO and FFO per diluted share are used by management, investors and analysts to facilitate meaningful comparisons of operating performance between periods and among our peers because it excludes the effect of real estate depreciation and amortization and net gains on sales, which are based on historical costs and implicitly assume that the value of real estate diminishes predictably over time, rather than fluctuating based on existing market conditions.  FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash requirements and should not be considered as an alternative to net income as a performance measure or cash flows as a liquidity measure.  FFO may not be comparable to similarly titled measures employed by other companies.
