News Release
TANGER REPORTS YEAR-END RESULTS FOR 2015
Adjusted Funds From Operations Per Share Increases 12.7%
Greensboro, NC, February 9, 2016, Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (NYSE:SKT) today reported adjusted funds from operations ("AFFO") available to common shareholders increased 12.7% to $2.22 per share, or $221.4 million, from $1.97 per share, or $194.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2014. AFFO available to common shareholders for the three months ended December 31, 2015 increased 9.4% to $0.58 per share, or $58.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, from $0.53 per share, or $52.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014. A reconciliation of funds from operations ("FFO") available to common shareholders, a widely accepted supplemental measure of REIT performance, to AFFO available to common shareholders is shown in the table below.

"2015 was another record year for Tanger. Significant highlights included opportunistic dispositions that upgraded the overall quality and long-term growth potential of the Tanger portfolio, delivery of four new Tanger Outlet Centers that expanded our total footprint significantly, and double digit AFFO per share growth over 2014, while achieving a compounded annual AFFO growth rate of 12.9% over the last three years. Other 2015 milestones included completing our 35th consecutive year with consolidated portfolio occupancy of at least 95%, and in the fourth quarter, reporting same center net operating income growth for the 44th consecutive quarter," commented Steven B. Tanger, President & Chief Executive Officer. "We enter 2016 with optimism. By year-end, we plan to open the two new Tanger Outlet Centers currently under construction. We are projecting solid AFFO growth for 2016, in spite of the dilutive impact of the recent asset sales. On a per share basis excluding this $0.08 per share net dilutive impact, the top end of our 2016 guidance for FFO represents a 9.5% growth rate over 2015 AFFO," he added.

Core Portfolio Drives Operating Results
During the year ended December 31, 2015, Tanger executed 397 leases totaling 1,726,000 square feet throughout its consolidated portfolio with a 22.4% increase in average base rental rates, on top of a 23.0% increase for the year ended December 31, 2014. Lease renewals accounted for 1,282,000 square feet, which generated a 19.7% increase in average base rental rates, on top of a 17.1% increase for the year ended December 31, 2014. Leases renewed represent 84% of the space scheduled to expire in 2015, on top of a 2014 renewal rate of 77% as of December 31, 2014. Re-tenanted space accounted for the remaining 444,000 square feet, with an increase in average base rental rates of 29.4%, compared to a 36.1% increase for the year ended December 31, 2014.
    
Historically, most of the company's leasing activity in the consolidated portfolio happens early in the year. During the fourth quarter of 2015, only 12% of the total square feet renewed during 2015 was completed, and only five leases were retenanted. Later quarters, when only a small portion of the annual leasing activity occurs, may not be representative of ongoing leasing performance, as the mix of leases can easily skew rent spreads when the base activity is small. As of January 31, 2016, Tanger already had leases executed or in process for 59% of the space in the consolidated portfolio scheduled to expire during 2016, up from 55% of the space scheduled to expire during 2015 that was executed or in process as of January 31, 2015. During January 2016, Tanger renewed or retenanted 716,000 square feet, which generated blended cash and straight-line rent spreads of 10.9% and 22.4%, respectively.

Consolidated portfolio same center net operating income for the year ended December 31, 2015, increased 3.5%, compared to a 2.6% increase for the year ended December 31, 2014. For the three months ended December 31, 2015, consolidated portfolio same center net operating income increased 2.1%, compared to a 2.7% increase for the three months ended December 31, 2014. Same center net operating income excludes lease termination fees of $4.6 million and $0.2 million for the year ended and three months ended December 31, 2015, respectively.

Consolidated portfolio average tenant sales for the twelve months ended December 31, 2015 were $395 per square foot, flat compared to the twelve months ended December 31, 2014. Sales are based on reports by all reporting retailers leasing outlet center stores less than 20,000 square feet in size which have occupied such stores for a minimum of twelve months.
 
As of December 31, 2015, the company's consolidated portfolio was 97.5% occupied, an increase of 30 basis points from 97.2% as of September 30, 2015, marking Tanger's 35th consecutive year with occupancy of 95% or greater at year-end.

Investment Activities Provide Potential Future Growth
In 2015, Tanger delivered four new Tanger Outlet Centers totaling 1.4 million square feet, or approximately 10% expansion based on the company's footprint at the beginning of the year. These projects represent a total investment of approximately $386.1 million and are currently expected to generate a weighted average stabilized yield of approximately 10.1%. Tanger's net equity requirement for these projects is expected to be approximately $153.1 million, substantially all of which had been funded as of December 31, 2015.
The company opened its newest Tanger Outlet Center on November 20, 2015 in the Memphis, Tennessee market in Southaven, Mississippi. The 324,000 square foot center opened 96% leased and has generated positive feedback from shoppers and retailers. The other new outlet centers delivered by Tanger during 2015 are located in the Savannah, Georgia market (opened April 16, 2015), at Foxwoods Resort Casino in Mashantucket, Connecticut (opened May 21, 2015), and in the Grand Rapids, Michigan market (opened July 31, 2015). All of these new centers were at least 95% occupied as of December 31, 2015.
Construction of two additional Tanger Outlet Centers is ongoing, with plans to open both properties during 2016. Grand opening festivities are currently scheduled for June 2016 in the Columbus, Ohio market, and Tanger currently expects to complete construction in the Daytona Beach, Florida market in time for a holiday 2016 opening. These projects represent a total investment of approximately $186.1 million and are currently expected to generate a weighted average stabilized yield of approximately 10.3%. Tanger's net equity requirement is expected to be approximately $138.7 million, including $103.5 million of which remained to be funded as of December 31, 2015. In addition, the company has a shadow pipeline of new development opportunities that have not yet been announced, all of which are currently in the pre-development stage.
Asset Recycling Activity Strengthens Portfolio
During 2015, Tanger improved its overall asset quality by opportunistically divesting six non-core assets, including its ownership interest in a joint venture partnership that owned one non-core outlet center. The centers were small and older, with an average age of approximately 24 years, compared to Tanger's remaining portfolio average of 16 years. The 2015 divestitures included the sale of non-core outlet centers located in Kittery, Maine (two centers); Tuscola, Illinois; West Branch, Michigan; Barstow, California; and the company's ownership interest in a joint venture partnership that owned a non-core outlet center located in Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin. The company believes these assets may no longer produce the growth in long-term internal cash flow and tenant sales that Tanger expects within its core portfolio due to various factors, including the potential upcoming capital expenditures necessary to enhance older centers, and changes within the individual markets in which these centers are located. Gross proceeds for these transactions totaled $166.3 million, and the company recorded gains of $120.4 million and $86.5 million, respectively for year and three months ended December 31, 2015.
As of December 31, 2015, the balance of the proceeds from the 2015 asset sales held by a qualified intermediary was $121.3 million, which was classified in the company's balance sheet as restricted cash. A portion of these

3


proceeds were used in the recent Deer Park transactions, described in the section "Balance Sheet Summary" below, which helped Tanger defer a significant portion of the tax gains related to the 2015 asset sales. Immediately following the unencumbrance of the Deer Park asset, approximately $16.8 million of 2015 asset sales proceeds remained in restricted cash. The company intends to invest the remaining proceeds in qualified replacement property, including the ongoing construction of Tanger's wholly-owned new outlet center development project in Daytona Beach, Florida. However, any proceeds that the company is unable to reinvest using this strategy may be used for the payment of an additional special dividend, if required. Any residual proceeds will be utilized to pay down debt balances.
On January 12, 2016, the company completed the sale of a small outlet center in Fort Myers, Florida near Sanibel Island. The $26.0 million transaction represented a capitalization rate of approximately 7.0% for this bottom-tier asset. The proceeds from the Fort Myers transaction were used to pay down balances outstanding under the company's unsecured lines of credit. Tanger expects to record a book gain of approximately $4.9 million during the first quarter of 2016 and has elected not to defer any taxable gain, as the transaction is not expected to have a significant impact on 2016 taxable income.
Since 2014, including the consolidated and unconsolidated portfolio of properties, the company has sold eight properties totaling approximately 1.3 million square feet with an average age of 22 years and added five new centers totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet.
Balance Sheet Summary
As of December 31, 2015, Tanger had a total market capitalization of approximately $4.9 billion including $1.6 billion of debt outstanding, equating to a 32% debt-to-total market capitalization ratio. The company had $190.3 million outstanding under its $520.0 million in available unsecured lines of credit. For the year ended December 31, 2015, Tanger maintained an interest coverage ratio of 4.58 times.

In October 2015, the company closed on amendments to its unsecured lines of credit, extending the maturity from October 2017 to October 2019, with the ability to further extend the maturity date for an additional year at Tanger's option. In addition, the amendments reduced the interest rate from LIBOR plus 1.00% to LIBOR plus 0.90%, based on the company's current credit ratings, and increased the maximum borrowings to which the syndicated line can be increased through an accordion feature from $750.0 million to $1.0 billion.

On April 1, 2015, the company's Board of Directors approved an increase in its regular quarterly common dividend to $1.14 per share from $0.96 per share on an annualized basis, representing an increase of 18.8%. Tanger has paid a cash dividend each quarter and has increased its dividend each year since becoming a public company in May 1993. On December 10, 2015, Tanger's Board of Directors approved a special dividend of $0.21 per share which was paid on January 15, 2016 to holders of record on December 31, 2015. Together, this special dividend and the regular quarterly common share dividends paid in 2015, represent a 38% increase over dividends paid in 2014, or a 16.3% three-year compounded annual growth rate.

In January 2016, Tanger unencumbered the Deer Park, New York center by repaying the $150.0 million floating rate mortgage loan secured by the property and increased its legal ownership interest in the property to 100% by repaying a $28.4 million deferred financing obligation owed to its former partner. The transactions were funded with a portion of the proceeds from the asset sales and borrowings under the company's unsecured lines of credit, resulting in a $108.7 million reduction of Tanger's floating rate debt.

FFO Per Share Guidance for 2016
Based on Tanger's internal budgeting process, the company's view on current market conditions, and the strength and stability of its core portfolio, management currently believes its net income and funds from operations for 2016 will be as follows:
For the year ended December 31, 2016:
 
 
 
Low Range
High Range
Estimated diluted net income per share
$1.07
$1.13
Noncontrolling interest, depreciation and amortization
 
 
 
of real estate assets including noncontrolling interest
 
 
 
share and our share of unconsolidated joint ventures,
 
 
 
and gains on sale of real estate
1.22
1.22
Estimated diluted FFO per share
$2.29
$2.35

Tanger's guidance reflects estimated same center net operating income growth of 3.0% to 3.5% and assumes that tenant sales remain stable. In addition, 2016 guidance includes incremental net operating income related to the full year impact of four new outlet centers that opened in 2015, and the partial year impact of the new outlet center in Columbus, Ohio that is expected to open in 2016. The Daytona Beach, Florida project is not expected to have a significant impact until 2017, as it is not expected to open until holiday 2016.

The company estimates the 2015 and early 2016 asset sales will have a net dilutive impact on 2016 FFO of approximately $0.08 per share, consisting of a reduction in net operating income of approximately $0.11 per share, partially offset by a reduction in interest expense of approximately $0.03 per share resulting from the use of proceeds. The dilutive impact on 2016 net income is expected to be approximately $0.05 per share. The difference in the calculation of net income and FFO is that net income includes depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, which are excluded from FFO.

Tanger's estimates reflect average projected general and administrative expense of approximately $11.4 million to $11.9 million per quarter and average projected management, leasing, and other services income of approximately $1.0 million per quarter . The company's floating rate interest expense forecast includes interest rate assumptions based on the forward LIBOR curve, with a gradual increase during the year, resulting in a projected average 30-day LIBOR rate of 0.685% for 2016. Tanger's estimates assume the Canadian dollar to U.S. dollar exchange rate will average 73% for 2016. Tanger's guidance does not include the impact of any termination rents, additional refinancing transactions, the sale of any out parcels of land, any property acquisitions, or the sale of any additional properties. The company's guidance is based on approximately 100.1 million weighted average diluted common shares for 2016.

a.
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss), to which it is reconciled. We believe that for a clear understanding of our operating results, FFO should be considered along with net income as presented elsewhere in this report. FFO is presented because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by certain investors and analysts to analyze and compare one equity REIT with another on the basis of operating performance. FFO is generally defined as net income (loss), computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, before extraordinary items and gains (losses) on sale or disposal of depreciable operating properties, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, impairment losses on depreciable real estate of consolidated real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures, including depreciation and amortization, and impairment losses on investments in unconsolidated joint ventures driven by a measurable decrease in the fair value of depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated joint ventures. We caution that the calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity and as such the presentation of FFO by us may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other reporting companies. FFO does not represent net income or cash flow from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of operating performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash flows available to fund dividends to shareholders and other cash needs.

b.
Notional units granted in 2010 were converted into 933,769 restricted common shares in January 2014 which vested on December 31, 2014. The restricted common shares were considered participating securities through the vesting date.

c.
The exchangeable operating partnership units (noncontrolling interest in operating partnership) are not dilutive on earnings per share computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

d.
Excludes the centers in which we have ownership interests but are held in unconsolidated joint ventures.

e.
Excludes the Fort Myers, FL center which was sold on January 12, 2016.
