EMPIRE STATE REALTY TRUST ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2014 RESULTS

– Reports Core FFO of $0.25 Per Fully Diluted Share For the Fourth Quarter –

New York, New York, February 25, 2015—Empire State Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: ESRT) (the “Company”), a real estate investment trust with office and retail properties in Manhattan and the greater New York metropolitan area, today reported operational and financial results for the fourth quarter and full year 2014.

“We are pleased to report strong operating and financial performance in the fourth quarter, driven by overall strength in leasing, along with continued progress in our redevelopment program for new leases of consolidated larger spaces” stated Anthony E. Malkin, Empire State Realty Trust’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Over the full year, we leased approximately 785,000 square feet of office and retail space to high quality tenants and achieved increases in starting cash rents of over 20% overall, and 31.5% on all new leasing in our Manhattan office portfolio. At the Empire State Building, we delivered attractive new amenities to tenants as part of our “Urban Campus,” while the Observatory again achieved record attendance and revenues. We expanded our portfolio with the acquisition of two buildings, one located in Times Square South on Broadway and one directly opposite Macy’s on 34th Street. We continued to improve our low leveraged balance sheet as we unencumbered assets, extended the weighted average term maturity and converted our secured corporate credit facility to an unsecured facility. All these balance sheet changes support our ability to fund our future capital plan and acquisitions as, and when, we make them. We are very happy to have our new President and Chief Operating Officer John B. Kessler added to our already outstanding senior executive team. We continue to execute on our strategy and create lasting value for our shareholders.”

Financial Results for the Fourth Quarter 2014

The Company began operations upon the completion of its formation transactions and initial public offering in October 2013. Accordingly, the fourth quarter 2013 results noted below are not directly comparable.

Going forward the Company will report Modified Funds From Operations (“Modified FFO”) in addition to the Funds From Operations (“FFO”) and Core FFO measures already provided. Modified FFO is defined as FFO plus adjustments for any above or below market ground lease amortization. Under the NAREIT definition of FFO, the July 15, 2014 acquisitions of 1400 Broadway’s and 112 West 34th Street’s significantly below market ground leases require the Company to charge non-cash amortization that is material to the Company’s FFO calculation. This non-cash charge reduces FFO, and is consistent and predictable over the remaining terms of the ground leases on a straight line basis, with a fourth quarter 2014 impact of $2.0 million, or $0.01 per fully diluted share. The Company considers Modified FFO as a useful supplemental measure in evaluating the operating performance of the Company due to the non-cash accounting treatment under GAAP.

Core FFO was $65.2 million, or $0.25 per fully diluted share. In the period from October 7, 2013 through December 31, 2013, Core FFO was $41.8 million or $0.17 per fully diluted share.

Modified FFO was $61.4 million, or $0.23 per fully diluted share. In the period from October 7, 2013 through December 31, 2013, Modified FFO was $221.2 million or $0.90 per fully diluted share. Modified FFO for 2013 included a gain on consolidation of non-controlled entities.

FFO was $59.4 million, or $0.22 per fully diluted share, compared to $220.8 million or $0.90 per fully diluted share in the period from October 7, 2013 through December 31, 2013. FFO for 2013 included a gain on consolidation of non-controlled entities.

The Observatory revenue for the fourth quarter 2014 grew 10.9% to $28.2 million, from $25.4 million in the fourth quarter 2013.
