CBL’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Stephen D. Lebovitz, commented, “We finished the year with both improved operating results at our properties and a strengthened balance sheet as a result of the successful disposition of several community centers. Portfolio occupancy, led by our malls and community centers, is up significantly as we executed over 4.8 million square feet of leasing in 2010. The benefits of our strategy to backfill space over the past two years with shorter-term leases are beginning to be more evident with the gains in new lease rates.  We are hopeful that we will achieve similar success in renewal leasing as more retailers begin to experience sustained positive sales trends.

“Our goal throughout the second half of 2010 was to maintain the positive momentum we had established and position CBL for future opportunities. The significant improvement in our liquidity, and continued execution of our strategy to drive revenue growth and control expenses, have helped us achieve that goal. As we move forward in 2011, we are more positive in our outlook and are pursuing opportunities for growth such as our outlet center joint venture and the renovation program to enhance several of our market dominant malls. Our hard work during the past year has made us a much stronger company today and we are confident that we are well positioned to capitalize on the improving economy.”

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 (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (loss) (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 noncontrolling interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and noncontrolling interests are calculated on the same basis. The Company defines FFO allocable to its common shareholders as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. The Company’s method of calculating FFO allocable to its 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 its 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 noncontrolling interest in the operating partnership.  The Company believes FFO allocable to its common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income (loss) attributable to its common shareholders.

In the reconciliation of net income (loss) attributable to the Company's common shareholders to FFO allocable to its common shareholders, located at the end of this earnings release, the Company makes an adjustment to add back noncontrolling interest in income (loss) 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 its 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 (loss) for purposes of evaluating the Company’s operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

During the years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, the Company recorded losses on impairment of certain of its real estate assets. Considering the significance and nature of the impairments, the Company believes that it is important to identify the impact of the change on its FFO measures for a reader to have a complete understanding of the

company's results of operations. Therefore, the Company has also presented its FFO measure excluding these impairment charges.

Same-Center 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 (loss) 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 noncontrolling interests' 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.

Because the Company incurred net losses during the three months and year ended December 31, 2009, there are no potentially dilutive shares recognized in the number of diluted weighted average shares for EPS purposes for those periods due to their anti-dilutive nature.  However, because FFO was positive during these periods, the dilutive shares are recognized in the number of diluted weighted average shares for purposes of calculating FFO per share.

  (3)
FFO per diluted, fully converted share for the three months and year ended December 31, 2010, includes the impact of non-cash impairments of real estate of $0.08 and $0.21, respectively, per share.  FFO per diluted, fully converted share for the three months and year ended December 31, 2009, includes the impact of non-cash impairments of real estate of $0.60 and $0.73, respectively, per share.
