DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY REPORTS AN INCREASE OF 16.7%
IN DILUTED FFO PER SHARE FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2007
     CLEVELAND, OHIO, April 26, 2007 - Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (NYSE: DDR), the nation’s leading owner, manager and developer of market-dominant community centers, today reported operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2007.
    Funds From Operations (“FFO”) per diluted share increased 16.7% to $0.91 and net income per diluted share increased 27.3% to $0.42 for the three-months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to the prior year
 
    Executed leases during the first quarter totaled approximately 2.4 million square feet, including 155 new leases and 272 renewals
 
    Base rents increased 24.1% on new leases, 10.7% on renewals and 12.6% on a blended basis
 
    Core portfolio leased percentage at March 31, 2007 was 95.9%
 
    Same store net operating income (“NOI”) for the quarter increased 2.3% over the prior year quarter
     Scott Wolstein, DDR’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “ I am pleased to announce this quarter’s financial results, which reflect solid market fundamentals and continued strong tenant demand in our operating and development portfolios from both traditional community center retail names and a growing number of specialty retailers. During the quarter, we successfully closed the acquisition of Inland Retail Real Estate Trust and our joint venture with TIAA-CREF. These transactions showcased many of the strengths and competencies of our Company. Through the integration process, we now control all of the leasing, accounting and property management functions of the former IRRETI assets. We can now leverage our national asset management platform to increase efficiencies and enhance the operating results of the assets, which will strengthen our portfolio as a whole and lead to increased shareholder value.”
     Financial Results:
     FFO, a widely accepted measure of a Real Estate Investment Trust’s (“REIT”) performance, on a diluted and basic per share basis was $0.91 for the three-months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $0.78 for the same period in the previous year, an increase of 16.7%. FFO available to common shareholders was $106.2 million for the three-months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $86.2 million for the first quarter of 2006, an increase of 23.2%. Net income available to common shareholders was $48.7 million or $0.42 per share (diluted and basic) for the three-months ended March 31, 2007, as compared to $35.9 million, or $0.33 per share (diluted and basic) for the prior comparable period. The increase in net income and FFO for the

 


 

three-months ended March 31, 2007, primarily is related to the merger with Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“IRRETI”) and the release of certain valuation reserves.
     FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used as a standard in the real estate industry. Management believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO more appropriately measures the core operations of the Company and provides a benchmark to its peer group. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO is defined and calculated by the Company as net income, adjusted to exclude: (i) preferred dividends, (ii) gains (or losses) from disposition of depreciable real estate property, except for those sold through the Company’s merchant building program, (iii) sales of securities, (iv) extraordinary items, (v) cumulative effect of changes in accounting standards and (vi) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income from joint ventures and equity income from minority equity investments and adding the Company’s proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and minority equity investments, determined on a consistent basis. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO in a different manner. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is presented in the financial highlights section.
Leasing:
     Leasing activity continues to be strong throughout the portfolio. During the first quarter of 2007, the Company executed 155 new leases aggregating 704,549 square feet and 272 renewals aggregating 1,711,577 square feet. Rental rates on new leases increased by 24.1% and rental rates on renewals increased by 10.7%. On a blended basis, rental rates for new leases and renewals increased by 12.6%. At March 31, 2007, the average annualized base rent per occupied square foot, including those properties owned through joint ventures and excluding the impact of the Mervyns assets, was $12.36, as compared to $11.50 at March 31, 2006.
     At March 31, 2007, the portfolio, including those properties owned through joint ventures, was 96.0% leased. Excluding the impact of the Mervyns, Brazil, and Inland assets, the core portfolio was 95.9% leased, as compared to 95.9% at March 31, 2006. These percentages include tenants for which signed leases have been executed and occupancy has not occurred. Based on tenants in place and responsible for paying rent as of March 31, 2007, the portfolio was 95.0% occupied. Excluding the impact of the Mervyns, Brazil, and Inland assets, the core portfolio was 94.8% occupied, as compared to 95.0% at March 31, 2006.
Strategic Real Estate Transactions:
Inland Retail Real Estate Trust:
     On February 27, 2007, the Company merged with IRRETI. The Company acquired all of the outstanding shares of IRRETI for a total merger consideration of $14.00 per share, of which $12.50 per share was funded in cash and $1.50 per share in the form of DDR common shares. As a result, the Company issued 5.7 million of DDR common shares to the IRRETI shareholders for a total consideration of approximately $394.1 million.
     The IRRETI merger was recorded at a total cost of approximately $6.2 billion. Real estate related assets of approximately $3.0 billion were recorded by the Company and the joint venture with TIAA-CREF, respectively.

feet of total GLA of which 66 shopping centers comprising approximately 23.1 million square feet of total GLA are in the joint venture with TIAA-CREF.
Acquisitions:
     During the first quarter, the Company’s joint venture in Brazil acquired an additional 73% interest in Shopping Metropole Center and, as such, the joint venture now owns 83% in this shopping center. The Company’s proportionate share aggregated approximately $24.7 million for its share of this acquisition.

     The Company anticipates commencing construction in 2007 on five additional shopping centers, which includes two projects that were acquired in the merger with IRRETI. These projects are located in Ukiah, California; Homestead, Florida; Wesley Chapel, Florida; Union City, Georgia and Gulfport, Mississippi.

     At March 31, 2007, approximately $456.4 million of costs were incurred in relation to the above projects under construction and projects that will be commencing construction.
     In addition to the above developments, the Company has identified several development sites in its development pipeline reflecting an aggregate estimated cost of over $1 billion. While there are no assurances that any of these projects will be developed, they provide a source of potential development projects over the next several years.
Development (Joint Ventures):
     Three of the Company’s joint ventures have shopping center projects under construction. These projects are located in Merriam, Kansas; Bloomfield Hills, Michigan and Allen, Texas. These three projects are being developed through the Coventry II program. The three projects are scheduled for completion during 2007 through 2009. These projects have an aggregate gross projected cost of approximately $526.7 million. At March 31, 2007, approximately $130.7 million of costs had been incurred in relation to these development projects.
Financings:
Term Loan:
     In February 2007, the Company amended its secured term loan agreement with KeyBank National Association. The facility was amended to increase the loan to $550 million, and at the Company’s option, up to $800 million, to extend the maturity date to February 2011 and to reduce the interest rate to LIBOR plus 0.70% based on the Company’s current credit rating.
Bridge Financing:
     In February 2007, the Company entered into a $750 million Bridge Facility with Bank of America, N.A. The Bridge Facility has a maturity date of August 2007 and bears interest at LIBOR plus 0.75%. The Company has the right to extend the facility for an additional three-month period. At March 31, 2007, total borrowings under the Credit Agreement aggregated $550 million.
Common Shares:
     In addition to the 5.7 million shares issued to the IRRETI shareholders valued at approximately $394.1 million discussed above, in February 2007, the Company received approximately $751.0 million in exchange for 11.6 million of its common shares upon the closing of the forward sale agreements entered into in December 2006.
Preferred Operating Partnership Units:
     In 2007, a subsidiary of the Company, issued to a designee of Wachovia Bank, N.A. (“Wachovia”), 20,000,000 preferred units (“Preferred Units”), with a liquidation preference of $25 per unit, aggregating

 


 

$500 million. The Preferred Units have a distribution rate equal to three-month LIBOR plus 0.75% through June 2007.
     The Company has the right to redeem the Preferred Units at any time at a redemption price equal to the aggregate liquidation preference of the Preferred Units, subject to a varying discount of up to 3% if redeemed prior to February 26, 2008, plus any accumulated unpaid distributions on the Preferred Units.
Convertible Notes:
     In March 2007, the Company issued $600 million of Senior Convertible Notes due 2012 (the “Senior Convertible Notes”). The Senior Convertible Notes were issued at par and pay interest in cash semi-annually in arrears on March 15 and September 15 of each year, beginning on September 15, 2007. The Senior Convertible Notes are senior unsecured obligations and rank equally with all other senior unsecured indebtedness. The Senior Convertible Notes have an initial conversion price of approximately $74.75 per common share and would be subject to net settlement. The Senior Convertible Notes may only be converted prior to maturity based on certain provisions in the governing note documents. A total of $117.0 million of the net proceeds from Senior Convertible Notes were used to repurchase common stock.
     Concurrent with the issuance of the Senior Convertible Notes, the Company purchased an option on its common stock in a private transaction in order to effectively increase the conversion premium from 20% to 40% or a conversion price of $87.21 per share at March 31, 2007. This option allows the Company to receive shares of the Company’s common stock, up to a maximum of approximately 1.1 million shares, from counterparties equal to the amounts of common stock and/or cash related to the excess conversion value that it would pay to the holders of the Senior Convertible Notes upon conversion. The option, which cost $32.6 million, was recorded as a reduction of shareholders’ equity.
     Preferred F Shares:
     In April 2007, the Company redeemed all outstanding shares of its 8.6% Class F Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Shares, aggregating $150 million, at a redemption price of $25.10750 per Class F Preferred Share (the sum of $25.00 per share and a dividend per share of $0.10750 prorated to the redemption date). The Company had the right to revoke the notice of redemption of theses shares until April 2, 2007, the redemption date. The Company will record a non-cash charge to net income available to common shareholders of approximately $5.4 million in the second quarter of 2007 relating to the write-off of original issuance costs.
