Sweeney Beckerman Public Relations Christopher P. Marr 908-781-6420 Brandywine Realty Trust michael@beckermanpr.com 610-325-5600 info@brandywinerealty.com Brandywine Realty Trust Announces First Quarter 2004 Earnings PLYMOUTH MEETING, PA, April 22, 2004 - Brandywine Realty Trust (BDN-NYSE) announced today that net income was $12.5 million for the first quarter of 2004, a decrease of $1.4 million, as compared to $13.9 million for the first quarter of 2003. In accordance with Emerging Issues Task Force ("EITF") Topic D-42, the Company incurred a gain to Earnings Per Share (EPS) for the first quarter of 2004 of $4.5 million associated with the redemption of Series B Preferred Units in February 2004. Fully diluted EPS (which includes the gain of $0.10 per share) was $0.34 for the first quarter of 2004, an increase of $0.04 per share as compared to $0.30 for the first quarter of 2003. Fully diluted funds from operations (FFO) including a $0.09 per share gain associated with the redemption of the Series B Preferred Units were $34.4 million or $0.72 per share for the first quarter 2004 as compared to $30.1 million or $0.65 per share for the first quarter of 2003. Excluding this gain related to EITF Topic D-42, FFO for the first quarter of 2004 was $29.9 million or $0.63 per share as compared to $30.1 million or $0.65 per share for the comparable period in 2003. FFO represents a non-generally accepted accounting principle (GAAP) financial measure. A table reconciling FFO to net income, the GAAP measure that the Company believes to be most directly comparable, is within the consolidated financial statements included in this release. Brandywine President and Chief Executive Officer, Gerard H. Sweeney, commented, "The first quarter was an active one for the Company. We seized the opportunities the strong capital markets afforded us and completed the remaining steps in our balance sheet strengthening program. Raising $120 million of common equity and an additional $56 million of perpetual preferred at pricing levels that are even more attractive when viewed by the standards of today's markets is very satisfying. These activities, when combined with all of the accomplishments of 2003, resulted in both Standard & Poor's and Fitch initiating coverage of the Company with BBB- ratings." Brandywine Realty Trust Summary Portfolio Performance o Payout ratio of FFO (excluding redemption gain) was 70.2% for the quarter o Quarterly rental rate growth on new leases was negative 3.5% on a straight-line basis and negative 11.1% on a cash basis o Quarterly rental rate growth on renewals was positive 1.6% on a straight-line basis and negative 4.5% on a cash basis o Quarterly retention rate was 76.4% o Portfolio was 90.0% occupied and 90.9% leased as of March 31, 2004 o Leases expired or were terminated for approximately 971,000 square feet during the quarter o Leases were renewed for 742,000 square feet during the quarter and new leases were signed for 121,000 square feet during the quarter Distributions On March 25, 2004, the Board of Trustees declared a regular quarterly dividend distribution of $0.44 per common share that was paid April 15, 2004 to shareholders of record as of April 6, 2004. The Company also announced its dividend for the first quarter of 2004 was $.46875 per 7.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares and $.17413 per 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares (with such per share amount reflecting the issuance of the Series D Preferred Shares on February 27, 2004) that was paid on April 15, 2004 to holders of record of the Series C and Series D Preferred Shares as of April 5, 2004. Capital Transactions On January 12, 2004, the Company consummated a public offering of 2,300,000 Common Shares, plus an over-allotment option of an additional 345,000 Common Shares, with net proceeds to the Company of $69.3 million. Bear, Stearns & Co. Inc. served as the underwriter for this transaction. Proceeds from this offering were used to reduce indebtedness under the Company's revolving credit facility incurred in connection with the Series B Preferred Share redemption and the funding of a property acquisition in Lawrenceville, New Jersey in December 2003. In February 2004, the Company redeemed all of the outstanding Series B Preferred Units in our operating partnership (the "Series B Preferred Units") for an aggregate price of $93.0 million, together with accrued but unpaid distributions from January 1, 2004. The Series B Preferred Units had an aggregate stated value of $97.5 million and accrued distributions at 7.25% per annum. In accordance with EITF Topic D-42, the Company recorded a gain of $4.5 million related to the redemption, which was included in EPS and FFO per share for the first quarter of 2004. On February 27, 2004, the Company issued 2,000,000 shares, plus an over-allotment option of 300,000, of Series D Perpetual Preferred Shares with a 7.375% coupon rate for net proceeds of $55.7 million. The Series D Perpetual Preferred Shares may be redeemed, at the Company's option, on or after February 27, 2009, for $25 per share. Wachovia Securities was the book-running manager of the offering with Bear Stearns & Co. Inc. and Raymond James as co-managers. The proceeds from this offering were used to reduce indebtedness under the Company's revolving credit facility including funds used in the redemption of the Series B Preferred Units. On March 3, 2004, the Company consummated a public offering of 1,600,000 Common Shares, plus an over-allotment option of an additional 240,000 Common Shares, with net proceeds to the Company of $50.8 million. Citigroup served as the underwriter for this transaction. Proceeds from this offering were used to reduce indebtedness under the Company's revolving credit facility incurred in connection with the Series B Preferred Unit redemption. During the first quarter, the Company sold one industrial property containing 37,000 net rentable square feet and one office property containing 45,000 net rentable square feet for an aggregate of $6.1 million. 2004 Financial Outlook As a result of economic conditions in the Company's markets, we continue to experience operational challenges that result in difficult earnings visibility. Our expectations for 2004 are based on the following key factors: o A slight increase in average occupancy from levels achieved in 2003 of 1.0% to 1.5% o A slight increase in same-store net operating income ranging from 1.0% to 1.5% o Operating margins and general and administrative margins consistent with those experienced in 2003 Based on these key assumptions, we expect the second quarter 2004 FFO per share to be $0.62 to $0.63 and EPS to be $0.22 to $0.23 and full year 2004 FFO per share to be $2.60 to $2.65 and EPS to be $1.10 to $1.15. These estimates reflect management's view of current market conditions and certain assumptions with regard to rental rates, occupancy levels and various other assumptions and projections. The estimates may be positively or negatively impacted primarily by the timing and terms of property leases. Forward-Looking Statements Estimates of future earnings per share and FFO per share and certain other statements in this release constitute "forward-looking statements" within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Such forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause the actual results, performance, achievements or transactions of the Company and its affiliates to be materially different from any future results, performance, achievements or transactions expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. Such risks, uncertainties and other factors relate to, among others: the Company's ability to lease vacant space and to renew or relet space under expiring leases at expected levels, competition with other real estate companies for tenants, the potential loss or bankruptcy of major tenants, interest rate levels, the availability of debt and equity financing, competition for real estate acquisitions and risks of acquisitions, dispositions and developments, including the cost of construction delays and cost overruns, unanticipated operating and capital costs, the Company's ability to obtain adequate insurance, including coverage for terrorist acts, dependence upon certain geographic markets, and general and local economic and real estate conditions, including the extent and duration of adverse changes that affect the industries in which the Company's tenants compete. Additional information on factors which could impact the Company and the forward-looking statements contained herein are included in the Company's filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission, including the Company's Annual Report for the year ended December 31, 2003. The Company assumes no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements that become untrue because of subsequent events. Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures Funds from Operations (FFO) - --------------------------- FFO is a widely recognized measure of REIT performance. Although FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure, the Company believes that information regarding FFO is helpful to shareholders and potential investors. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than the Company. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before minority interest of unitholders (preferred and common) and excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable operating property and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after adjustment for unconsolidated joint ventures. The GAAP measure that the Company believes to be most directly comparable to FFO, net income, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales and minority interest. In computing FFO, the Company eliminates substantially all of these items because, in the Company's view, they are not indicative of the results from the Company's property operations. To facilitate a clear understanding of the Company's historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in the financial statements included elsewhere in this release. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company's financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for the Company's cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. Cash Available for Distribution (CAD) - ------------------------------------- Cash available for distribution, CAD, is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not intended to represent cash flow for the period and is not indicative of cash flow provided by operating activities as determined under GAAP. CAD is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure with respect to liquidity because the Company believes it provides useful information regarding the Company's ability to fund its dividends. Because all companies do not calculate CAD the same way, the presentation of CAD may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
