Simon Property Group Reports Second Quarter Results and Announces Quarterly Dividend
INDIANAPOLIS, July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Simon Property Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Simon") (NYSE: SPG) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2010.
Net income attributable to common stockholders was $152.5 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to a net loss of $(20.8) million, or $(0.08) per diluted share, in the prior year period. The 2009 results included a non-cash impairment charge of $140.5 million, or $0.43 per diluted share.
Funds from Operations ("FFO") was $487.7 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, in the second quarter of 2010 as compared to $313.1 million, or $0.96 per diluted share, in the prior year period. The impact of the non-cash impairment charge to FFO in 2009 was $0.42 per diluted share.
"Our positive momentum from the first quarter continued," said David Simon, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "The improvement in business conditions extended into the second quarter as demonstrated by higher occupancy and sales. Sales for our malls and Premium Outlets during the second quarter of 2010 were 4.9% higher than in the second quarter of 2009, and occupancy grew 90 basis points from March 31, 2010. Revenue growth and a continued focus on expense management resulted in positive comparable property net operating income growth in the quarter.
The Company utilized a portion of its cash during the first six months of 2010 to retire $1.5 billion of debt, acquire an outlet center in Puerto Rico, and increase its ownership interest in Houston Galleria, arguably one of the top five malls in the United States."

On April 29th, Gallerie Commerciali Italia, one of the Company's European joint venture investment entities, sold its interest in Porta di Roma, a 1.3 million square foot shopping center in Rome, Italy.

- On May 28th, the Company acquired an additional interest of approximately 19% in Houston Galleria in Houston, Texas. The Company's ownership interest increased from 31.5% to 50.4%.

The total cost of the acquisitions was approximately $385 million, including the assumption of existing indebtedness.

2010 Guidance
Today the Company affirmed the guidance for 2010 provided on April 30, 2010, estimating that FFO as adjusted will be within a range of $5.77 to $5.87 per diluted share for the year ending December 31, 2010. Diluted net income has been adjusted to include gains on asset sales and is expected to be within a range of $2.49 to $2.59 per share.

After giving effect to this charge, the Company expects 2010 FFO per diluted share to be within a range of $5.30 to $5.40.
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 and estimated diluted FFO per share to estimated diluted FFO as adjusted per share.

Footnotes to Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures
Unaudited
Notes:
(1) This report contains measures of financial or operating performance
that are not specifically defined by accounting principles generally
accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), including funds from
operations (“FFO”), FFO as adjusted, FFO per share, FFO as adjusted
per share and estimated diluted FFO as adjusted per share. FFO is a
performance measure that is standard in the REIT business. We
believe FFO provides investors with additional information concerning
our operating performance and a basis to compare our performance with
those of other REITs. We also use these measures internally to
monitor the operating performance of our portfolio. As adjusted
measures exclude the effect of certain non-cash impairment and
debt-related charges. We believe these measures provide investors
with a basis to compare our current operating performance with
previous periods in which we did not have those charges. Our
computation of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar
measures 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 $1.4 million
and $2.0 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively and $3.1 million and $2.2 million for the six months
ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
(3) Includes the Company's share of straight-line adjustments to minimum
rent of $9.6 million and $7.0 million for the three months ended June
30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $14.1 million and $17.5
million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009,
respectively.
(4) Includes the Company's share of the amortization of fair market value
of leases from acquisitions of $4.9 million and $6.4 million for the
three months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively and $9.8
million and $13.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively.
(5) Includes the Company's share of debt premium amortization of $2.7
million and $3.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2010 and
2009, respectively and $6.4 million and $7.3 million for the six
months ended June 30, 2010 and 2009, respectively.
(6) Includes dividends and distributions of Series I preferred stock and
Series C and Series I preferred units. All outstanding Series C
preferred units were redeemed in August 2009 and all outstanding
shares of Series I preferred stock and Series I preferred units were
redeemed on April 16, 2010.
