CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (November 6, 2007) – CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (NYSE:CBL) announced results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007. A description of each non-GAAP financial measure and the related reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure is located at the end of this news release.

 

Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter ended September 30, 2007, was $17,087,000 or $0.26 per diluted share compared with $14,337,000 or $0.22 per diluted share for the prior-year period.

Net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, declined by $9,924,000 primarily due to the non-cash income tax provision, higher interest expense and the write off of direct issuance costs related to the redemption of the Company’s 8.75% Series B Perpetual Preferred Stock on June 28, 2007.

FFO allocable to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2007, declined $1,218,000 from the prior year period primarily due to the non-cash income tax provision and adjustments to the depreciable lives of certain acquired assets that resulted in an increase in the net amortization of above and below market leases in the quarter ended September 30, 2006.

 

FFO allocable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, was $149,094,000 compared with $152,603,000 for the nine months ended September 30, 2006. FFO per share on a diluted, fully converted basis was $2.27 for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, compared with $2.37 in the prior-year period.

 

FFO allocable to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2007, declined $3,509,000 from the prior year period primarily due to the non-cash income tax provision, increases in the net amortization of above and below market leases in the quarter ended September 30, 2006, and the write-off of direct issuance costs related to the redemption of the Company’s 8.75% Series B Perpetual Preferred Stock on June 28, 2007.

CBL’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Charles B. Lebovitz, said, “This quarter, we were pleased to achieve same center NOI growth of 3.9%, excluding lease termination fees, representing the true growth that is occurring within our portfolio. We are improving occupancy at the malls and continuing to increase spreads on both new and renewal leasing, which has totaled nearly 4.5 million square feet year-to-date. Leasing at our new developments is exceeding our targets with strong interest and commitments by retailers.

 

“The momentum we have built through the year with our acquisition program and development pipeline is positioning us for an active year in 2008 and an even bigger year in 2009. We announced three new lifestyle and community center developments in the past two weeks totaling over 1.3 million square feet. We also announced an expansion of our international presence with a partnership to develop shopping centers in Brazil. With more than $460 million of projects under construction and a shadow pipeline that is growing for 2008 and beyond, we are optimistic about the growth prospects of our Company going forward.”

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

 

Funds From Operations

FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income determined in accordance with GAAP. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of operating properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and minority interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and minority interests are calculated on the same basis. The Company defines FFO allocable to common shareholders as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. The Company’s method of calculating FFO allocable to common shareholders may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.

 

The Company believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of its operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of the Company’s properties and interest rates, but also by its capital structure.

 

The Company presents both FFO of its operating partnership and FFO allocable to common shareholders, as it believes that both are useful performance measures. The Company believes FFO of its operating partnership is a useful performance measure since it conducts substantially all of its business through its operating partnership and, therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of the Company’s common shareholders and the minority interest in the operating partnership. The Company believes FFO allocable to common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income available to common shareholders.

 

In the reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO allocable to common shareholders, the Company makes an adjustment to add back minority interest in earnings of its operating partnership in order to arrive at FFO of its operating partnership. The Company then applies a percentage to FFO of its operating partnership to arrive at FFO allocable to common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the weighted average number of operating partnership units outstanding during the period.

 

FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income for purposes of evaluating the Company’s operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

 

Same-Center Net Operating Income

Net operating income (“NOI”) is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of the Company’s shopping centers. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).

Similar to FFO, the Company computes NOI based on its pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. The Company’s definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies and, accordingly, the Company’s NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies. A reconciliation of same-center NOI to net income is located at the end of this earnings release.

 

Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of its shopping center properties, the Company believes that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs and the impact of those trends on the Company’s results of operations. Additionally, there are instances when tenants terminate their leases prior to the scheduled expiration date and pay the Company one-time, lump-sum termination fees. These one-time lease termination fees may distort same-center NOI trends and may result in same-center NOI that is not indicative of the ongoing operations of the Company’s shopping center properties. Therefore, the Company believes that presenting same-center NOI, excluding lease termination fees, is useful to investors.

Pro Rata Share of Debt

The Company presents debt based on its pro rata ownership share (including the Company’s pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding minority investors’ share of consolidated properties) because it believes this provides investors a clearer understanding of the Company’s total debt obligations which affect the Company’s liquidity. A reconciliation of the Company’s pro rata share of debt to the amount of debt on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet is located at the end of this earnings release.
