NEW YORK, Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iStar Financial Inc. (NYSE: SFI), a publicly traded finance company focused on the commercial real estate industry, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2010.

Second Quarter 2010 Results

iStar reported adjusted earnings (loss) allocable to common shareholders for the second quarter of ($83.4) million or ($0.89) per diluted common share, compared with ($250.1) million or ($2.51) per diluted common share for the second quarter 2009. Adjusted earnings (loss) represents net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted primarily for preferred dividends, depreciation and amortization and gain (loss) from discontinued operations. Adjusted earnings does not include the $250.3 million, or $2.60 per diluted common share, gain associated with the portfolio sale of 32 corporate tenant lease properties completed during the quarter.

Net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders for the second quarter, inclusive of the $250.3 million gain on the CTL portfolio sale, was $212.3 million, or $2.27 per diluted common share, compared to ($284.2) million or ($2.85) per diluted common share for the second quarter 2009. Please see the financial tables that follow the text of this press release for a detailed reconciliation of adjusted earnings (loss) to GAAP net income (loss).

Revenues for the second quarter 2010 were $136.8 million versus $193.1 million for the second quarter 2009. The year-over-year decrease is primarily due to a reduction of interest income resulting from performing loans moving to non-performing status and, to a lesser extent, a smaller asset base resulting from loan repayments and sales.

Net investment income for the second quarter was $129.8 million compared to $275.9 million for the second quarter 2009. The year-over-year decrease is primarily due to decreased net gains on early extinguishment of debt in the quarter, as well as lower interest income as discussed above, offset by lower interest expense and increased earnings from equity method investments. Gains on early extinguishment of debt for the prior year period included $107.9 million of gains associated with the bond exchange completed in the second quarter 2009. Net investment income represents interest income, operating lease income, earnings (loss) from equity method investments and net gain on early extinguishment of debt, less interest expense and operating costs for corporate tenant lease assets.

During the second quarter, the Company completed the sale of a portfolio of 32 corporate tenant lease (CTL) properties resulting in net proceeds of $1.33 billion. In addition, the Company received $508.8 million in gross principal repayments; generated $82.7 million of proceeds from loan sales; $74.0 million of net proceeds from sales of other real estate owned (OREO) assets; and $69.5 million of net proceeds from the sale of four additional corporate tenant lease assets. Of the gross principal repayments and asset sales, $116.3 million was utilized to pay the A-participation interest associated with the Fremont portfolio down to $135.2 million. Additionally during the quarter, the Company funded a total of $131.0 million under pre-existing commitments and provided a $105.6 million mezzanine loan associated with the CTL portfolio sale, of which $25.0 million was repaid subsequent to quarter-end.

The Company’s leverage, calculated as book debt net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, divided by the sum of book equity, accumulated depreciation and loan loss reserves, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, was 2.4x at June 30, 2010, down from 2.8x at the end of the prior quarter. The Company’s net finance margin, calculated as the rate of return on assets less the cost of debt, was 1.62% for the quarter, versus 2.23% in the prior quarter.

Capital Markets

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had $531.5 million of unrestricted cash versus $640.9 million at the end of the prior quarter.

During the quarter, the Company retired a total of $1.76 billion of debt. Specifically, the Company repurchased $234.9 million par value of its senior unsecured notes and redeemed a total of $282.3 million par value of its 2011 and 2014 senior secured notes. In addition, the Company repaid a $947.9 million term loan which was collateralized primarily by the portfolio of 32 CTL assets sold during the quarter. Also, the Company repaid $290.8 million of other outstanding indebtedness during the quarter, including its 5.375% Senior Unsecured Notes due April 2010. For the quarter, the Company recorded an aggregate net gain on early extinguishment of debt of $70.1 million.

Risk Management

At June 30, 2010, first mortgages, participations in first mortgages, senior loans and corporate tenant lease investments collectively comprised 77.4% of the Company’s asset base, versus 82.3% in the prior quarter. The Company’s loan portfolio consisted of 70.5% floating rate loans and 29.5% fixed rate loans, with a weighted average maturity of 2.2 years.

At the end of the quarter, the weighted average last dollar loan-to-value ratio for all structured finance assets was 84.0%. The Company’s corporate tenant lease assets were 87.7% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of 13.0 years. At June 30, 2010, the weighted average risk ratings of the Company’s structured finance and corporate tenant lease assets were 3.90 and 2.76, versus 3.93 and 2.57, respectively, in the prior quarter.

As of June 30, 2010, the Company had 14 loans on its watch list representing $1.03 billion or 13.8% of total managed loans, compared to 12 loans representing $673.9 million or 8.1% of total managed loans in the prior quarter. Assets on the Company’s watch list are all performing loans. Managed loan value represents iStar’s carrying value of loans, gross of specific reserves and the A-participation interest outstanding on Fremont portfolio assets. The Company’s total managed loan value at quarter end was $7.41 billion.

At the end of the second quarter, 63 of the Company’s 195 total loans were on non-performing loan (NPL) status. These loans represent $2.96 billion or 39.9% of total managed loans, compared to 72 loans representing $3.50 billion or 42.3% of total managed loans in the prior quarter. At the end of the quarter, the Company charged-off $87.5 million against its reserve for loan losses related to restructurings, loan sales and repayments.

During the quarter, the Company took title to nine properties that had an aggregate managed loan value of $384.8 million prior to foreclosure. This resulted, at the end of the quarter, in $146.8 million of charge-offs against the Company’s reserve for loan losses. Additionally, the Company recorded $12.2 million of additional impairments on its OREO portfolio.

At the end of the second quarter, the Company held 49 assets, representing a gross book value of $1.53 billion, which had previously served as collateral for certain of its loan assets. Of these assets, $890.9 million were classified as OREO and considered held for sale based on management’s current intention to market and sell the assets in the near term. The remaining $641.5 million were classified as real estate held for investment (REHI) based on management’s current strategy to hold, operate or develop these assets over a longer term.

At the end of the second quarter, the Company recorded $109.4 million in loan loss provisions. At June 30, 2010, loan loss reserves totaled $1.18 billion or 15.9% of total managed loans. This compares to loan loss reserves of $1.31 billion or 15.8% of total managed loans at March 31, 2010.

(1) Adjusted earnings should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in the Consolidated Statements of
Operations. Adjusted earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance
with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in
accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is this measure indicative of funds available to fund
the Company’s cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders. Rather, adjusted earnings is an additional measure
the Company uses to analyze how its business is performing. It should be noted that the Company’s manner of calculating
adjusted earnings may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies.

(2) For the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, adjusted earnings (loss) allocable to HPU holders was ($2,536)
and ($7,115), respectively, on both a basic and dilutive basis.  For the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, adjusted

(1) Weighted average GAAP yield is the annualized sum of interest income and operating lease income, divided
by the sum of average gross corporate tenant lease assets, average loans and other lending investments and
average assets held for sale over the period. Cost of debt is the annualized sum of interest expense and
operating costs–corporate tenant lease assets, divided by the average gross debt obligations over the period.
Operating lease income, operating costs–corporate tenant lease assets and interest expense exclude
adjustments from discontinued operations of $27,673, $1,612 and $14,466, respectively. The Company does
not consider net finance margin to be a measure of the Company's liquidity or cash flows. It is one of several
measures that management considers to be an indicator of the profitability of its operations.

(2) Net income allocable to common shareholders, HPU holders and Participating Security holders on an
annualized basis is computed without annualizing the gain from discontinued operations.

(3) Adjusted earnings should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. Adjusted earnings should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss)
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s performance, or to cash flows from
operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is this
measure indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs or available for distribution to
shareholders. Rather, adjusted earnings is an additional measure the Company uses to analyze how its
business is performing. It should be noted that the Company’s manner of calculating adjusted earnings may
differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies.

(4) General and administrative expenses and total revenue exclude adjustments from discontinued operations
of $2 and $27,675, respectively.

EBITDA (3)

$346,204



(1) Leverage is calculated by dividing book debt net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents by the sum
of book equity, accumulated depreciation and loan loss reserves.

(2) This measure, which is a trailing twelve-month calculation and excludes the effect of impairment
charges and other non-cash items, is consistent with covenant calculations included in the Company's
secured credit facilities; therefore, we believe it is a useful measure for investors to consider.

(3) EBITDA should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss)
(determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company’s performance, or to cash flows
from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity,
nor is this measure indicative of funds available to fund the Company’s cash needs or available for
distribution to shareholders. It should be noted that the Company’s manner of calculating EBITDA may
differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies.

(4) Interest expense and depreciation and amortization exclude adjustments from discontinued operations
of $14,466 and $417, respectively.
