INDIANAPOLIS, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Simon Property Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Simon") (NYSE: SPG) today announced results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2009.

"I am very pleased with our fourth quarter and full year financial and operational performance," said David Simon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "We reported funds from operations as adjusted per share of $1.66 for the quarter and $6.01 for the year. In addition, our regional mall and Premium Outlet Center portfolios generated positive comparable property net operating income growth in 2009.  These are significant accomplishments given the state of the U.S. economy and the challenges faced by consumers in 2009."

Results for the Quarter Ended December 31, 2009

  • Funds from Operations ("FFO") as adjusted was $573.3 million, or $1.66 per diluted share. FFO as adjusted excludes the impact of non-cash impairment charges. The Company recorded impairment charges of $88.1 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, during the period resulting in FFO of $485.2 million, or $1.40 per diluted share.
  • Net income attributable to common stockholders as adjusted was $164.8 million, or $0.58 per diluted share. Net income attributable to common stockholders as adjusted excludes the impact of non-cash impairment charges. Common stockholders' share of impairment charges was $73.3 million, or $0.26 per diluted share, during the period resulting in net income attributable to common stockholders of $91.5 million, or $0.32 per diluted share.

Results for the Year Ended December 31, 2009

  • FFO as adjusted was $1.977 billion, or $6.01 per diluted share.  The Company recorded impairment charges of $228.6 million, or $0.68 per diluted share, during the period resulting in FFO of $1.748 billion, or $5.33 per diluted share.
  • Net income attributable to common stockholders as adjusted was $471.5 million, or $1.76 per diluted share.  Common stockholders' share of impairment charges was $188.4 million, or $0.71 per diluted share, during the period resulting in net income attributable to common stockholders of $283.1 million, or $1.05 per diluted share.

Per share amounts reflect the impact of the issuance of 52.1 million shares of common stock through public offerings and common stock dividends in 2009.

Dividends

Today the Company announced that the Board of Directors approved the declaration of a quarterly common stock dividend of $0.60 per share payable in cash. This dividend is payable on February 26, 2010 to stockholders of record on February 16, 2010.

The Company also declared dividends on its two outstanding public issues of preferred stock:

  • 6% Series I Convertible Perpetual Preferred (NYSE:SPGPrI) dividend of $0.75 per share is payable on February 26, 2010 to stockholders of record on February 16, 2010.
  • 8 3/8% Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred (NYSE:SPGPrJ) dividend of $1.046875 per share is payable on March 31, 2010 to stockholders of record on March 17, 2010.

Acquisition Update

On December 8, 2009, the Company announced that it entered into a definitive agreement to acquire all of the outlet shopping center business of Prime Outlets Acquisition Company and certain of its affiliated entities ("Prime Outlets") in a transaction valued at approximately $2.325 billion, including the assumption of Prime Outlets' existing indebtedness and preferred stock.

Under the terms of the agreement, the owners' interests in Prime Outlets will be acquired for equity consideration of approximately $700 million. The equity consideration to Prime Outlets' owners will generally be comprised of 80% in cash and 20% in common partnership units of the Company's majority-owned partnership subsidiary, Simon Property Group, L.P. ("SPGLP"), which will be based on a ten day trading average of the Company's common stock shortly before closing, subject to a 10% collar.

Prime Outlets is an owner, manager, operator and developer of outlet centers in the U.S. The Prime Outlets portfolio includes 22 outlet centers.  

Financing

On December 8, 2009, the Company announced that SPGLP entered into a new unsecured corporate credit facility providing an initial revolving borrowing capacity of $3.565 billion, an increase to the prior $3.5 billion revolver.  The new facility contains an accordion feature allowing borrowing capacity to increase to as much as $4.0 billion and will mature on March 31, 2013. The base interest rate on the new facility is LIBOR plus 210 basis points, and it includes a money market competitive bid option program that allows SPGLP to hold auctions at lower pricing for short-term borrowings.

As of December 31, 2009, the Company had approximately $4.3 billion of cash on hand, including its share of joint venture cash, and an additional $3.1 billion of available capacity on SPGLP's corporate credit facility.    

During January of 2010, the following capital market activities were completed:

  • On January 19th, the Company announced the sale by SPGLP of $2.25 billion of senior unsecured notes in an underwritten public offering.  Net proceeds from the offering were used to fund SPGLP's purchase of senior unsecured notes tendered in an any and all cash tender offer launched on January 12th.  The notes offering received exceptionally strong interest with book orders totaling $10 billion.  The notes offering consisted of:
    • $400 million of 4.20% notes due 2015; priced at 99.78% of the principal amount to yield 4.25% to maturity
    • $1.25 billion of 5.65% notes due 2020; priced at 99.62% of the principal amount to yield 5.70% to maturity
    • $600 million of 6.75% notes due 2040; priced at 99.44% of the principal amount to yield 6.79% to maturity

The weighted average duration of the notes offering is 14.4 years and the weighted average coupon is 5.69%.

  • On January 20th, SPGLP's tender offer expired and on the following day, the Company announced that approximately $2.285 billion of notes were tendered and accepted for purchase.  These notes had a weighted average remaining duration of 2.0 years and a weighted average coupon of 5.76%.  A $166 million charge to earnings was recorded in January of 2010 in connection with this transaction.  

"This recent capital market activity was well executed," said David Simon.  "We believe that it is a testament to our Company's financial strength that we were able to expand the size of our new credit facility while extending the term to 2013, and that we obtained a significant extension of duration of our senior unsecured notes portfolio with no overall increase in our weighted average interest rate through our concurrent tender offer and sale of unsecured notes. With over $7 billion of available liquidity, we are exceptionally well-positioned."

Sale of Simon Ivanhoe

The Company and Ivanhoe Cambridge (50/50 partners in Simon Ivanhoe, one of the Company's two European joint venture investment entities) announced today that they have entered into a definitive agreement to sell their interests in Simon Ivanhoe (which owns seven shopping centers located in France and Poland) to Unibail-Rodamco. Simon and Ivanhoe Cambridge are to receive consideration of euro 715 million for the assets, subject to customary post-closing adjustments. Simon expects the sale to result in a gain of approximately $300 million. The transaction is scheduled to close during the first half of 2010, subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals.

Simon and Ivanhoe Cambridge have also agreed to venture with Unibail-Rodamco in the development of five retail projects in the Simon Ivanhoe development pipeline. Simon will own a 25% interest in this pipeline.

U.S. New Development and Redevelopment

The Company continues construction on the following development projects:

  • A 600,000 square foot Phase II expansion of The Domain in Austin, Texas. The expansion will include Dillard's, a Village Road Show theater, Dick's Sporting Goods (opened October 16, 2009), 136,000 square feet of small shops and restaurants, and 78,000 square feet of office space. The Company owns 100% of this project, slated for an opening on February 22, 2010.  
  • Addition of Nordstrom, Target and 138,000 square feet of small shops at South Shore Plaza in Braintree (Boston), Massachusetts. Nordstrom and the small shops are scheduled to open on March 26, 2010, with Target scheduled to open in October of 2010. The center is 100% owned by the Company.

2010 Guidance

The Company estimates that FFO as adjusted will be within a range of $5.72 to $5.87 per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2010, and diluted net income will be within a range of $2.58 to $2.73 per share.  FFO as adjusted excludes the impact of a $166 million charge ($0.47 per share) in the first quarter related to SPGLP's January tender offer.  After giving effect to this charge, the Company expects 2010 FFO per diluted share to be within a range of $5.25 to $5.40.

This guidance is based upon the following assumptions:

  • Completion of the Prime Outlets acquisition in spring 2010
  • Completion of the sale of interest in Simon Ivanhoe during the first half of 2010
  • No other acquisition or disposition activity
  • An interest rate environment consistent with the current forward curve for LIBOR and U.S. Treasuries
  • Comparable property NOI growth for the Company's core domestic portfolios of 1 to 1.5%

This guidance is a forward-looking statement and is subject to the risks and other factors described elsewhere in this release.

The following table provides the reconciliation of the range of estimated diluted net income available to common stockholders per share to estimated diluted FFO per share.

    Notes:     
               
    (A)  During the fourth quarter of 2009, the Company recorded non-cash 
         impairment charges aggregating $88.1 million, net of tax benefit and
         adjusted for noncontrolling interest holders' share, related to two 
         operational regional malls, certain parcels of land and non-retail 
         real estate, and certain predevelopment costs related to projects no
         longer being pursued. In the second quarter of 2009, the Company 
         recorded a non-cash impairment charge of $140.5 million, 
         representing the decline in the value of the Company's investment in
         Liberty International, PLC.   
    
         During the fourth quarter of 2008, a non-cash impairment charge of 
         $21.2 million was recorded related to one operational regional mall 
         and the write-off of certain predevelopment projects that were 
         abandoned.    
    
    (B)  In accordance with ASC 805, acquisition-related costs are required 
         to be expensed as incurred for transactions entered into after 
         January 1, 2009. 
    
    (C)  Discontinued joint venture interests represent assets and 
         partnership interests that have been sold.    
    
    (D)  The Company's share of impairment charge from unconsolidated 
         entities is included within the joint venture statements of     
         operations.  This charge is presented separately on the consolidated
         statement of operations along with $35.1 million of impairment 
         charges of investments in certain unconsolidated entities and for 
         which declines in value below our carrying amount were deemed other 
         than temporary.    
    
    (E)  Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of the 
         Company's investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the
         partnerships and joint ventures.  The Company generally amortizes 
         excess investment over the life of the related properties, typically
         no greater than 40 years, and the amortization is included in income
         from unconsolidated entities.

    Notes:         
                   
    (1)  The Company considers FFO a key measure of its operating performance
         that is not specifically defined by GAAP and believes that FFO is
         helpful to investors because it is a widely recognized measure of 
         the performance of REITs and provides a relevant basis for 
         comparison among REITs. The Company also uses this measure 
         internally to measure the operating performance of the portfolio.  
         The Company's computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO 
         reported by other REITs.    
    
         The Company determines FFO based upon the definition set forth by 
         the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts 
         ("NAREIT"). The Company determines FFO to be our share of
         consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding
         real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains
         and losses from extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from
         the sales of previously depreciated operating properties, plus the
         allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon
         economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent 
         basis in accordance with GAAP.     
      
         The Company has adopted NAREIT's clarification of the definition of 
         FFO that requires it to include the effects of nonrecurring items 
         not classified as extraordinary, cumulative effect of accounting 
         changes, or a gain or loss resulting from the sale of previously 
         depreciated operating properties. We include in FFO gains and losses
         realized from the sale of land, outlot buildings, marketable and 
         non-marketable securities, and investment holdings of non-retail 
         real estate. However, you should understand that FFO does not 
         represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not 
         be considered as an alternative to net income determined in 
         accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is 
         not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.    
    
    (2)  Includes the Company's share of gains on land sales of $17.7 million
         and $3.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2009 and 
         2008, respectively, and $19.9 million and $21.6 million (including 
         $9.4 million as a result of the disposition of an investment in a 
         50% owned multi-family residential facility adjacent to one of our
         retail operating properties) for the twelve months ended 
         December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.    
    
    (3)  Includes the Company's share of straight-line adjustments to minimum
         rent of $5.6 million and $8.6 million for the three months ended 
         December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $30.9 million and 
         $39.6 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 
         2008, respectively.    
    
    (4)  Includes the Company's share of the fair market value of leases from
         acquisitions of $5.9 million and $8.6 million for the three months 
         ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively, and $24.9 million 
         and $45.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and
         2008, respectively.    
    
    (5)  Includes the Company's share of debt premium amortization of $4.0 
         million and $4.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 
         2009 and 2008, respectively, and $14.8 million and $19.4 million for
         the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, respectively.   
    
    (6)  Includes dividends and distributions of Series I preferred stock and
         Series C and Series I preferred units.
