PREIT Reports First Quarter 2011 Results

Philadelphia, PA, April 27, 2011 – Pennsylvania Real Estate Investment Trust (NYSE: PEI) today reported results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011.

Ronald Rubin, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, said, “We’re pleased to report our fifth consecutive quarterly increase in comp-store sales, up to $357 per square foot. Performance was in line with our expectations and our improved sales are creating exciting opportunities for the portfolio.”

Funds From Operations (“FFO”) for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 was $21.3 million, or $0.37 per diluted share. FFO for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 was $25.5 million, or $0.55 per diluted share.

Same store NOI excluding lease termination revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 decreased 0.7% to $66.7 million, compared to $67.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Lease termination revenue for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 decreased $1.8 million compared to the quarter ended March 31, 2010. Same store results represent retail properties owned for the full periods presented.

Total NOI was $66.8 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to $71.6 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2010, a decrease of 6.7%, primarily due to the sale of five power centers in September 2010 and lower lease termination revenue. A description of each non-GAAP financial measure and the related reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure are located at the end of this press release.

Net loss attributable to PREIT was $14.3 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2011, compared to a net loss attributable to PREIT of $17.6 million, or $0.41 per diluted share, for the quarter ended March 31, 2010.

Primary Factors Affecting Financial Results

Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 included:

 

   

Increased weighted average shares, as a result of the public offering of 10.35 million common shares in May 2010; and

 

   

A $6.8 million reduction in depreciation and amortization, as the value of in-place lease intangibles related to properties acquired in 2003 became fully amortized during 2010.

Results for the quarter ended March 31, 2010 also included:

 

   

$2.4 million of NOI from the five wholly-owned power centers sold in September 2010.

Definitions

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines Funds From Operations (“FFO”), which is a non-GAAP measure commonly used by REITs, as income before gains (losses) on sales of operating properties and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate depreciation; plus or minus adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships to reflect funds from operations on the same basis. Similarly, FFO per diluted share and OP Unit is a measure that is useful because it reflects the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities.

The Company uses FFO and FFO per diluted share and OP Unit in measuring its performance against peers and as one of the performance measures for determining incentive compensation amounts earned under certain of our performance-based executive compensation programs. The Company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition, or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than the Company.

FFO does not include gains or losses on the sale of operating real estate assets, which are included in the determination of net income in accordance with GAAP. Accordingly, FFO is not a comprehensive measure of our operating cash flows. In addition, since FFO does not include depreciation on real estate assets, FFO may not be a useful performance measure when comparing our operating performance to that of other non-real estate commercial enterprises. We compensate for these limitations by using FFO in conjunction with other GAAP financial performance measures, such as net income and net cash provided by operating activities, and other non-GAAP financial performance measures, such as net operating income. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company’s financial performance, or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions.

The Company believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to FFO. The Company believes that FFO is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it excludes various items included in net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as various non-recurring items that are considered extraordinary under GAAP, gains on sales of operating real estate and depreciation and amortization of real estate.

Net operating income (“NOI”), which is a non-GAAP measure, is derived from real estate revenue (determined in accordance with GAAP) minus operating expenses (determined in accordance with GAAP). It does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of the Company’s financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company’s liquidity; nor is it indicative of funds available for the Company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. The Company believes that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP measurement to net operating income.


 

PREIT / 4

 

The Company believes that net operating income is helpful to management and investors as a measure of operating performance because it is an indicator of the return on property investment, and provides a method of comparing property performance over time. Net operating income excludes general and administrative expenses, interest and other income, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, gains on sales of interests in real estate, gains on sales of discontinued operations, impairment losses, project costs, other expenses and gain on extinguishment of debt.
