DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY REPORTS FFO PER
DILUTED SHARE OF $0.82 FOR THE QUARTER ENDED JUNE 30, 2008
CLEVELAND, OHIO, July 24, 2008 - Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (NYSE: DDR), the nation’s leading owner, manager and developer of market-dominant shopping centers, today reported operating results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2008.
    Funds From Operations (“FFO”) per diluted share was $0.82 and net income per diluted share was $0.25 for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the prior-year comparable period of $1.26 and $0.89, respectively. The decrease in FFO and net income per share for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, is primarily related to a reduction in the amount of transactional income associated with gains on sale of real estate in 2008 as compared to 2007.
    FFO per diluted share was $1.65 and net income per diluted share was $0.52 for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the prior-year comparable period of $2.18 and $1.33, respectively. The decrease in FFO and net income per share for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, is primarily related to the release of certain tax reserves in the first quarter of 2007 and a reduction in the amount of transactional income described above.
    Executed leases during the second quarter totaled approximately 2.2 million square feet, including 173 new leases and 271 renewals.
    On a cash basis, base rental rates increased 10.2% on new leases, 8.6% on renewals and 8.9% overall.
    Core portfolio leased percentage at June 30, 2008 was 95.5%.
    Same store net operating income (“NOI”) for the quarter increased 2.5% over the prior-year comparable period.
Scott Wolstein, Developers Diversified’s Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer, commented, “We are pleased to announce this quarter’s financial results, which reflect the consistency and stability of our portfolio and operating platform. Despite a challenging macro environment, the fundamentals of our business remain sound. We have addressed virtually all of our

 


 

2008 consolidated and joint venture maturities and are in discussions with lenders regarding our 2009 maturities as well.”
Mr. Wolstein continued, “While we have refined our leasing development, investment and financing strategies to reflect a more conservative stance given current market conditions, we continue to see increasingly attractive investment opportunities. We are concentrating our investments in the highest yielding opportunities on a risk-adjusted basis with a focus towards maintaining considerable balance sheet strength at the same time. With that in mind, we are reaffirming our 2008 FFO per share guidance of $3.95 to $4.05 per share.”
Financial Results:
Net income applicable to common shareholders was $29.4 million, or $0.25 per share (diluted and basic), for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $111.4 million, or $0.89 per share (diluted) and $0.90 per share (basic), for the prior-year comparable period. The decrease in net income for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, is primarily related to a reduction in the amount of transactional income (gains on disposition of real estate of approximately $62.8 million and promoted income from joint venture interests of approximately $14.3 million) earned during the same period in 2007 and the transfer of 62 assets to unconsolidated joint venture interests and the sale of 61 assets to third parties in 2007.
For the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, FFO per share was $0.82 (diluted and basic) and $1.26 (diluted) and $1.27 (basic), respectively. FFO applicable to common shareholders was $99.1 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $159.3 million for the three-month period ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in FFO for the three-month period ended June 30, 2008, is primarily a result of the same factors impacting net income as described above.
Net income applicable to common shareholders was $62.2 million, or $0.52 per share (diluted and basic), for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $160.2 million, or $1.33 per share (diluted) and $1.34 per share (basic), for the prior-year comparable period. The decrease in net income for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, is primarily related to the release of certain tax reserves in the first quarter of 2007, a reduction in the amount of transactional and promoted income and 2007 asset sales as described above.
For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, FFO per share was $1.65 (diluted and basic) and $2.18 (diluted) and $2.19 (basic), respectively. FFO applicable to common shareholders was $198.7 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to $265.4 million for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007. The decrease in FFO for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, is primarily a result of the same factors impacting net income as described above.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used as a standard in the real estate industry and a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust (“REIT”) performance. 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 (“GAAP”), 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 share dividends, (ii) gains from disposition of depreciable real estate property, except for those sold through the Company’s merchant building program, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) extraordinary items and (iv) 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:
The following results from the second quarter ended June 30, 2008 highlight continued strong leasing activity throughout the portfolio:
    Executed 173 new leases aggregating 0.7 million square feet and 271 renewals aggregating 1.5 million square feet.
 
    On a cash basis, rental rates on new leases increased 10.2% and rental rates on renewals increased 8.6%. Overall, rental rates for new leases and renewals increased 8.9%.
 
    Total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot, excluding Brazil, as of June 30, 2008 was $12.41, as compared to $12.16 at June 30, 2007.
 
    Core portfolio leased rate was 95.5% as of June 30, 2008, as compared to 95.9% at June 30, 2007.
Total annual recurring leasing capital expenditures for the Company and its joint ventures are estimated to be approximately $29 million ($0.25 per square foot of owned GLA) in 2008 calculated based on 100% of the funding.
Dispositions:
In the second quarter of 2008, the Company sold two shopping center assets, aggregating approximately 0.2 million square feet for aggregate sales proceeds of $19 million and recorded an aggregate gain of approximately $1.1 million.
Macquarie DDR Trust Share Purchase:
In February 2008, the Company began purchasing units of Macquarie DDR Trust (“MDT”), an Australian-based Listed Property Trust sponsored by Macquarie Bank Limited (ASX: MBL), an international investment bank, advisor and manager of specialized real estate funds. MDT is DDR’s joint venture partner in the DDR Macquarie Fund LLC joint venture (the “Fund”). Through the combination of its purchase of the units in MDT and its direct and indirect ownership of the Fund, DDR has an approximate 20.3% economic interest in the Fund at June 30, 2008. Through June 30, 2008, the Company has purchased 62.9 million MDT units in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of approximately $29.3 million.

(A)   Increases in base and percentage rental revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2008, as compared to the prior-year period, aggregated $2.6 million, consisting of $4.1 million related to leasing of core portfolio properties (an increase of 1.5% over the comparable period in 2007), $18.4 million from the acquisition of assets and the merger with Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. (“IRRETI”), $2.6 million related to developments and redevelopments and $0.7 million from an increase in occupancy at the Company’s business centers.

For the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, general and administrative expenses were approximately 4.4% and 4.8%, respectively, of total revenues, including joint venture revenues. For the six-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company recorded a charge of approximately $4.1 million to general and administrative expense in connection with the Company’s former president’s resignation as an executive officer. Excluding this charge, general and administrative expenses were 4.3% of total revenues for the six-month period ended June 30, 2007.
 
(D)   Other income/expense primarily relates to a gain of $0.2 million from the retirement of $3.425 million of the Company’s Senior Notes offset by abandoned acquisition and development project costs.

(a)   Revenues for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 included approximately $1.8 million and $2.1 million, respectively, resulting from the recognition of straight-line rents of which the Company’s proportionate share was $0.3 million in both 2008 and 2007. Revenues for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007 included approximately $4.1 million and $3.7 million, respectively, resulting from the recognition of straight-line rents of which the Company’s proportionate share was $0.5 million in both 2008 and 2007.

(c)   The Company’s share of joint venture net income was decreased by $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company’s share of joint venture net income was decreased by $0.3 million and $0.4 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively. These adjustments reflect basis differences impacting amortization and depreciation and gain on dispositions. During the three-month period ended June 30, 2007, the Company received $13.6 million of promoted income relating to the sale of assets from the DDR Markaz Joint Venture which is included in the Company’s proportionate share of net income and FFO.
 
    At June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company owned joint venture interests, excluding consolidated joint ventures, in 273 and 269 shopping center properties, respectively. In addition, at June 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company owned 44 and 46 shopping center sites formerly owned by Service Merchandise, respectively, through its 20% owned joint venture with Coventry II.

    The preferred operating partnership units were redeemed in June 2007. In June 2008, 0.5 million operating partnership units were converted into an equivalent number of common shares of the Company.
(G)   During the first quarter of 2007, the Company released to income approximately $15.0 million of previously established valuation allowances against certain deferred tax assets as management had determined, due to several factors, that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax asset will be realized. The release was primarily due to the Company’s increased use of its taxable REIT subsidiaries relating to its merchant building program.

(I)   For purposes of computing FFO per share (basic), the weighted average shares outstanding were adjusted to reflect the assumed conversion of approximately 0.4 million and 0.9 million Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”) outstanding at June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, into 0.8 million and 0.9 million common shares of the Company for the three and six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, on a weighted average basis. The weighted average diluted shares and OP Units outstanding, for purposes of computing FFO, were approximately 120.8 million and 126.4 million for the three-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 120.7 million and 121.6 million for the six-month periods ended June 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.
