DEVELOPERS DIVERSIFIED REALTY REPORTS AN 8.8% INCREASE IN FFO
PER SHARE FOR THE YEAR ENDED DECEMBER 31, 2005

     CLEVELAND, OHIO, February 13, 2006 — Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (NYSE: DDR), a real estate investment trust (“REIT”), today announced that fourth quarter 2005 Funds From Operations (“FFO”), a widely accepted measure of REIT performance, on a per share basis was $0.74 (diluted and basic) as compared to $0.69 (diluted) and $0.70 (basic) per share for the same period in the previous year, an increase of 7.2% diluted and 5.7% basic. FFO available to common shareholders was $81.7 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2005, as compared to $73.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2004, an increase of 11.9%. Net income available to common shareholders for the three month period ended December 31, 2005 decreased 52.6% to $35.1 million or $0.32 per share (diluted and basic) compared to fourth quarter 2004 net income of $74.1 million, or $0.71 per share (diluted) and $0.72 per share (basic). The decrease in net income for the quarter ended December 31, 2005 is primarily related to a decrease in gain on sales of real estate assets and discontinued operations, of $43 million of which $37 million is excluded from the computation of FFO.
     On a per share basis, FFO (diluted) was $3.21 and $2.95 for the years ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, an increase of 8.8%. FFO available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2005 was $355.1 million compared to FFO available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2004 of $292.3 million. Net income available to common shareholders for the twelve month period ended December 31, 2005 was $227.5 million, or $2.08 per share (diluted) and $2.10 (basic) in 2005, compared to net income available to common shareholders of $219.1 million, or $2.24 per share (diluted) and $2.27 (basic) for 2004.
     Scott Wolstein, DDR’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer stated, “I’m pleased to report this quarter’s earnings, which reflect outstanding tenant demand for space in our community center portfolio and strong portfolio fundamentals, as well as a strong balance sheet position, with significant cashflow liquidity and financial flexibility. Our year-end results reflect the growing strength of our asset class and successful execution of a focused and disciplined capital recycling strategy. We sold nearly $600 million in assets, which helped generate the capital needed to fund our development pipeline and expand our footprint into Puerto Rico and the Western U.S. through key portfolio acquisitions from Caribbean Property Group and Mervyns.”
     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 sales of depreciable real estate property, except for those sold through the

 


 

Company’s merchant building program, which are presented net of taxes, (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 fourth quarter of 2005, the Company executed 101 new leases aggregating approximately 740,000 square feet and 182 renewals aggregating approximately 674,000 square feet. Rental rates on new leases increased by 29.2% to $14.35 per square foot and rental rates on renewals increased by 9.4% to $12.87 per square foot as compared to previously occupied rental rates. On a blended basis, rental rates for new leases and renewals increased by 14.2% to $13.56 per square foot. At December 31, 2005, the average annualized base rent per occupied square foot, including those properties owned through joint ventures, was $11.30.
     At December 31, 2005, the portfolio, including those properties owned through joint ventures, was 96.4% leased. Excluding the impact of the properties acquired from Benderson Development, Caribbean Property Group and Mervyns, the portfolio was also 96.4% leased, as compared to 95.4% at December 31, 2004. 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 December 31, 2005, the portfolio was 95.3% occupied. Excluding the impact of the properties acquired from Benderson Development, Caribbean Property Group and Mervyns, the portfolio was 95.1% occupied, as compared to 94.6% at December 31, 2004.
     Same store Net Operating Income (“NOI”) relating to Core Portfolio Properties (i.e., shopping center properties owned since January 1, 2004, including those owned through joint ventures and excluding properties under redevelopment) increased approximately $8.5 million (or 2.2%) for the year ended December 31, 2005.
Strategic Real Estate Transactions:
Mervyns Stores
     In mid September 2005, the Company formed a joint venture (the “Mervyns Joint Venture”) with Macquarie DDR Trust (“MDT”), which acquired the underlying real estate of 36 operating Mervyns stores. The Mervyns Joint Venture is owned 50% by the Company and 50% by MDT. However, the assets, liabilities and operating results are consolidated within the DDR accounts in accordance with FIN 46. The Mervyns Joint Venture acquired one additional asset in the fourth quarter of 2005 for approximately $20.7 million and the final asset was acquired by the joint venture for approximately $11.0 million in January 2006.

 


 

Expansions:
     During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company completed nine expansions and redevelopment projects located in Hoover, Alabama; Tallahassee, Florida; Suwanee, Georgia; Princeton, New Jersey; Hendersonville, North Carolina; Allentown, Pennsylvania; Erie, Pennsylvania; Bayamon, Puerto Rico and Johnson City, Tennessee at an aggregate cost of $41.6 million. The Company is currently expanding/redeveloping eight shopping centers located in Gadsden, Alabama; Ocala, Florida; Stockbridge, Georgia; Ottumwa, Iowa; Gaylord, Michigan; Rome, New York; Mooresville, North Carolina and Bayamon, Puerto Rico at a projected incremental cost of approximately $38.5 million. The Company is also scheduled to commence construction on an additional expansion and redevelopment project at its shopping center located in Amherst, New York.
     During the year ended December 31, 2005, two of the Company’s joint ventures completed expansion/redevelopment projects at their shopping centers located in St. Petersburg, Florida and Merriam, Kansas at an aggregate cost of $9.3 million. Three of the Company’s joint ventures are currently expanding/redeveloping their shopping centers located in Phoenix, Arizona; Lancaster, California and Kansas City, Missouri at a projected incremental cost of approximately $57.4 million. Two of the Company’s joint ventures are also scheduled to commence additional expansion/redevelopment projects at their shopping centers located in Deer Park, Illinois and Kirkland, Washington.
Development (Consolidated):
     During the year ended December 31, 2005, the Company substantially completed the construction of four shopping center projects located in Overland Park, Kansas; Lansing, Michigan; Freehold, New Jersey and Mt. Laurel, New Jersey. Many of these tenants are open and operating.
     The Company currently has eight shopping center projects under construction. These projects are located in Miami, Florida; Nampa, Idaho; McHenry, Illinois; Chesterfield, Michigan; Horseheads, New York; Apex, North Carolina (Beaver Creek Crossings — Phase I); Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and San Antonio, Texas. These projects are scheduled for completion during 2006 through 2007 at a projected aggregate cost of approximately $428.6 million and will create an additional 4.1 million square feet of retail space. At December 31, 2005, approximately $178.3 million of costs were incurred in relation to these development projects.
     The Company anticipates commencing construction in early 2006 on four additional shopping centers located in Homestead, Florida; Norwood, Massachusetts; Seabrook, New Hampshire and McKinney, Texas.
Development (Joint Ventures):
     The Company has joint venture development agreements for four shopping center projects. These projects have an aggregate projected cost of approximately $119.3 million. These projects are located in Merriam, Kansas; Jefferson County (St. Louis), Missouri; Apex, North Carolina (Beaver Creek Crossings — Phase II, adjacent to a wholly-owned development project) and San Antonio, Texas. The projects located in Merriam, Kansas and San Antonio, Texas are being developed through the Coventry II program. The project located in San Antonio, Texas was substantially completed during 2005 and a portion of the project located in Jefferson County (St. Louis), Missouri has been substantially completed. The remaining projects are scheduled for completion during 2007. At December 31, 2005, approximately $60.7 million of costs were incurred in relation to these development projects.

 


 

Dispositions:
     In the fourth quarter of 2005, the Company sold three shopping center properties aggregating 0.1 million square feet for approximately $18.8 million and recognized a non-FFO gain of approximately $2.7 million.
     In December 2005, one of the Company’s joint ventures with Coventry Real Estate Partners sold a 0.3 million square foot shopping center in San Ysidro, California for approximately $42.5 million. The joint venture recognized an aggregate gain of approximately $9.1 million. In conjunction with this transaction, the Company recognized a contribution to FFO of $1.9 million, as the Company considers this sale part of its merchant build program due to the recent redevelopment of this former factory outlet center, which is reflected through its equity in earnings of joint ventures.
Financings:
     In October 2005, the Company issued $350 million of seven-year senior unsecured notes. The 5.375% notes are due on October 15, 2012 and were offered at 99.52% of par. The notes are redeemable prior to maturity at par value plus a make-whole premium. If the notes are redeemed within 90 days of the maturity date, no make-whole premium will be paid. The effective interest rate, after taking into account the treasury rate locks that were previously entered into by the Company, will adjust the seven-year rate to an effective rate of 5.1%. Proceeds from the offering were used for general corporate purposes, including repayment of floating rate debt on the Company’s revolving credit facilities.
     Developers Diversified Realty Corporation currently owns and manages approximately 500 retail operating and development properties in 44 states, plus Puerto Rico, comprising approximately 113 million square feet of real estate. DDR is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) operating as a fully integrated real estate company which acquires, develops, leases and manages shopping centers.

  (1)   During 2005, the Company’s gain on sales of real estate was reduced by $1.9 million relating to debt prepayment costs incurred as a result of the sales transaction. This debt prepayment has been accounted for as a cost of sale and neither the gross gain on sale nor the related costs of the sale have been included in FFO.
(H)   The Company recorded a charge of $3.0 million in 2004 as a cumulative effect of adoption of a new accounting standard (FIN 46) attributable to the consolidation of the shopping center in Martinsville, Virginia. This amount represents the minority partner’s share of cumulative losses in the partnership.
 
(I)   For purposes of computing FFO per share (basic), the weighted average shares outstanding were adjusted to reflect the conversion of 1.3 million Operating Partnership Units (OP Units) outstanding at December 31, 2005 and 2004 into 1.3 million and 1.4 million common shares of the Company for the three month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 1.3 million for each of the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, on a weighted average basis. The weighted average diluted shares and OP Units outstanding were 110.8 million and 105.4 million for the three month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and 110.7 million and 99.1 million for the twelve month periods ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
