BEACHWOOD, OHIO, February 12, 2013 – DDR Corp. (NYSE: DDR) today announced operating results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2012.

SIGNIFICANT 2012 ACTIVITY

Generated positive leasing spreads for the full year 2012, with new leases up 9.7% at 100% ownership and 13.6% on a pro rata basis, and renewals up 6.1% at 100% ownership and 6.0% on a pro rata basis; blended spreads were up 6.7% at 100% ownership and 7.0% on a pro rata basis

“We continue to be pleased with our performance metrics, access to capital and overall tenant operating and financial strength within our portfolio. We expect these positive trends to continue in 2013,” commented DDR’s chief executive officer, Daniel B. Hurwitz.


FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

The Company’s fourth quarter Operating Funds From Operations attributable to common shareholders (“Operating FFO”) increased to $84.0 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, which compares to $72.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, for the prior-year comparable period. The increase in Operating FFO for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011, is primarily due to organic growth and shopping center acquisitions and related investments partially offset by asset dispositions.

Funds From Operations attributable to common shareholders (“FFO”) for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, increased to $61.8 million, or $0.20 per diluted share, which compares to $47.4 million, or $0.17 per diluted share, for the prior-year comparable period. The increase in FFO for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, as compared to the same period in 2011, is primarily due to the same factors impacting Operating FFO as well as lower impairment charges on non-depreciable assets partially offset by higher transaction costs and a loss on change in control and sale of interests.

Operating FFO for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased to $305.3 million, or $1.03 per diluted share, which compares to $267.1 million, or $0.97 per diluted share, for the prior year. The increase in Operating FFO for the year ended December 31, 2012, is primarily due to the same factors impacting Operating FFO for the three-month period.

FFO for the year ended December 31, 2012 increased to $312.4 million, or $1.06 per diluted share, which compares to $227.6 million, or $0.75 per diluted share, for the prior year. The increase in FFO for the year ended December 31, 2012, is primarily due to the same factors impacting FFO for the three-month period as well as gains on change in control and sale of interests partially offset by the loss on debt retirement related to the Company’s repurchase of a portion of its 9.625% unsecured senior notes in 2012 and the effect of the valuation adjustment associated with the warrants that were exercised in full for cash in the first quarter of 2011.

Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three-month period ended December 31, 2012, was $7.0 million, or $0.02 per diluted share, which compares to net loss of $1.8 million, or $0.01 per diluted share, for the prior-year comparable period. Net loss attributable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2012, was $60.3 million, or $0.21 per diluted share, which compares to net loss of $53.8 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the prior year. The increase in net loss attributable to common shareholders for the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2012, is primarily due to the same factors impacting FFO as well as higher impairment charges on depreciable assets and depreciation expense.

LEASING & PORTFOLIO OPERATIONS

The following results for the full year and fourth quarter of 2012, highlight continued strong leasing activity throughout the portfolio:

 

   

Executed 189 new leases aggregating 0.7 million square feet and 282 renewals aggregating approximately 1.7 million square feet in the fourth quarter

 

   

Generated positive leasing spreads for the fourth quarter, with new leases up 11.7% at 100% ownership and 14.3% on a pro rata basis, and renewals up 6.8% at both 100% ownership and on a pro rata basis; blended spreads were up 7.6% at 100% ownership and 7.8% on a pro rata basis

 

   

The portfolio leased rate was 94.2% at December 31, 2012, as compared to 94.0% at September 30, 2012 and 93.6% at December 31, 2011


   

Same store net operating income (“NOI”) increased by 4.0% at 100% ownership for the full year 2012 and 4.3% for the fourth quarter as compared to the same periods in 2011 and 3.4% and 4.4% on a pro rata basis for the full year and fourth quarter 2012, respectively

ACQUISITIONS

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company acquired two prime power centers located in North Carolina. The Company funded these acquisitions through a combination of proceeds from asset sales and the issuance of new common equity and the senior unsecured notes.

Carolina Pavilion, in Charlotte, North Carolina, was purchased for $106 million. This 94% leased 852,000 square foot prime power center features anchor tenants such as Target, Kohl’s, Nordstrom Rack, Ross Dress for Less, buybuy BABY, Bed Bath & Beyond, Jo-Ann Fabric and Craft Stores and AMC Theatres. In addition, new leasing activity with national anchors including PetSmart and Golfsmith will soon fill 85,000 square feet of currently vacant space.

Poyner Place, in Raleigh, North Carolina, was purchased for $45 million. This 96% leased 434,000 square foot prime power center is anchored by Target, Ross Dress for Less, Old Navy, World Market, Shoe Carnival and Pier 1 Imports.

FINANCINGS

In January 2013, the Company refinanced its primary $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility arranged by J.P. Morgan Securities LLC and Wells Fargo Securities, LLC. The $65 million unsecured revolving credit facility provided solely by PNC Bank, National Association was refinanced to match the terms of the primary facility. The Company also refinanced its $400 million secured term loan arranged by KeyBanc Capital Markets and RBC Capital Markets.

The refinanced $750 million unsecured revolving credit facility has an initial maturity of April 2017 with borrower options to extend an additional year, and contains an accordion feature that provides for $1.25 billion of potential total capacity. Pricing on both refinanced revolving credit facilities was reduced and is currently set at LIBOR plus 140 basis points, a decrease of 25 basis points from the previous rate, and is determined based upon DDR’s credit ratings from Moody’s and S&P. Further, the annual facility fee for both revolving credit facilities has been reduced from 35 basis points to 30 basis points.

The refinanced secured term loan has an initial maturity of April 2017 with borrower options to extend an additional year. Pricing on the secured term loan is currently set at LIBOR plus 155 basis points, a decrease of 15 basis points from the previous rate, and is determined based upon DDR’s credit ratings from Moody’s and S&P.

The Company accessed its at-the-market common equity program and issued 4.8 million new common shares during the fourth quarter of 2012 at an average price of $15.50, generating gross proceeds of $75 million.

In addition in December 2012, the Company closed $365 million of new long-term financings, comprised of a $265 million mortgage loan and a $100 million increase in the unsecured term loan that initially closed in January 2012. The mortgage is a 3.5% fixed rate, seven-year loan collateralized by four prime shopping centers. DDR had previously entered into interest rate swap contracts that fix LIBOR on the $100 million of additional unsecured term loan proceeds resulting in a fixed interest rate of 2.98%.


Proceeds from these financings were primarily used to repay a $350 million mortgage loan, secured by six prime shopping centers, that was set to mature in April 2013 with a 5% fixed rate.

In November 2012, the Company issued $150 million aggregate principal amount of 4.625% senior unsecured notes due July 2022 at a premium to par of 109.2% and yield-to-maturity of 3.46%.

DISPOSITIONS

The Company sold five consolidated operating shopping centers, aggregating approximately 0.4 million square feet, in the fourth quarter of 2012, generating gross proceeds of approximately $13.7 million. In addition, the Company sold $60.6 million of non-income producing assets. The Company recorded an aggregate net gain of approximately $0.4 million related to asset sales in the fourth quarter of 2012.

In the fourth quarter of 2012, the Company’s unconsolidated joint ventures sold five assets generating gross proceeds of approximately $219.4 million ($51.5 million at DDR’s share). The aggregate gain on sale in the fourth quarter of 2012 was approximately $50.8 million ($10.7 million at DDR’s share). The joint venture disposition activity included the sale by Sonae Sierra Brasil of its 10% ownership interest in Patio Brasil, its 51% interest in Shopping Penha, and its 30% interest in Tivoli Shopping, for approximately $103 million ($34 million at DDR’s share). Sonae Sierra Brasil will continue to manage Shopping Penha and Tivoli Shopping for at least three years.

2013 GUIDANCE

There has been no change in Operating FFO per share guidance since the last update provided on January 7, 2013. The Company continues to estimate Operating FFO for 2013 between $1.07 and $1.11 per diluted share.

NON-GAAP DISCLOSURES

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 and Operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO and Operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group. Neither FFO nor Operating FFO represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should 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 and losses from disposition of depreciable real estate property, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) impairment charges on depreciable real estate property and related investments, (iv) 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 non-controlling interests and adding the Company’s proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests, determined on a consistent basis. The Company calculates Operating FFO by excluding the non-operating charges and gains described above. The Company computes FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as affirmed by NAREIT on October 31, 2011. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner. FFO excluding the net non-operating items detailed in this release is useful to investors as the Company removes these charges and gains to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Operating FFO is presented in the financial highlights section of the Company’s quarterly supplement.
