DUKE REALTY REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS

Improved Operating and Capital Metrics

Continued Progress on Asset Repositioning Strategy

Core FFO per share of $0.29

(INDIANAPOLIS, July 27, 2011) – Duke Realty Corporation (NYSE: DRE), a leading industrial, suburban and medical office property REIT, today reported results for the second quarter 2011.

“During the second quarter, we continued to make meaningful progress in furthering our strategy as measured by the overall improvement in several of our key operating and capital metrics and continued repositioning of our assets” said Dennis D. Oklak, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. “Core FFO was $0.29 per share, which was $0.01 per share better than the first quarter of 2011. Total portfolio occupancy increased to 89.3 percent, our highest level since 2005. We completed over 8.1 million square feet of leases during the quarter, many of which were new leases executed to backfill spaces with expiring leases, and we achieved same-property net operating income growth of 1.5% as compared to the twelve months ended June 30, 2010. We are pleased with our results and remain focused on demonstrating continued success in achieving our strategy.”

Quarterly Highlights

 

   

Core Funds from Operations per diluted share (“Core FFO”) and Funds from Operations per diluted share (“FFO”), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), were each $0.29 for the quarter.

Strong operating metrics and performance:

 

  ¡  

Overall portfolio occupancy of 89.3 percent, and bulk industrial occupancy of 90.6 percent, on June 30, 2011;

  ¡  

8.1 million square feet of leases completed during the quarter;

  ¡  

Same-property net operating income growth of 1.5 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, and 0.5 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the periods ended June 30, 2010.

 

   

Executing on asset and capital strategies:

 

  ¡  

$116 million of acquisitions during the quarter;

  ¡  

$62 million of dispositions during the quarter;

  ¡  

Cash-on-hand of $117.6 million on June 30, 2011 with no balance outstanding on our line of credit.

Financial Performance

 

   

Core FFO for the second quarter of both 2011 and 2010 of $0.29 per share. A reconciliation of FFO as defined by NAREIT to Core FFO is included in the financial tables included in this release.

 

   

Improvement of net loss per diluted share (“EPS”) from a loss of $0.19 for the second quarter of 2010 to a loss of $0.12 for the same quarter in 2011. The improvement in the second quarter of 2011, as compared to the same period in 2010, was primarily attributable to $20.3 million ($0.08 per share) of losses on debt repurchases, and adjustments related to the repurchase of preferred stock, during the second quarter of 2010.

Operating Performance Highlights

 

   

Increase in overall portfolio occupancy, including projects under development, to 89.3 percent on June 30, 2011, compared to 88.9 percent on March 31, 2011.

 

   

Occupancy in the bulk distribution portfolio on June 30, 2011 of 90.6 percent, up from 90.2 percent on March 31, 2011. We executed over 4.0 million square feet of new industrial leases during the quarter to more than offset the effects of expected expirations of both temporary and longer-term leases, resulting in the overall increase in occupancy.

 

   

Improved occupancy in the medical office portfolio to 85.9 percent and maintained steady occupancy in the suburban office portfolio at 85.4 percent.

Tenant retention for the quarter of approximately 61 percent. While our tenant retention rate decreased as a result of anticipated lease terminations, we were able to backfill the space with 4.6 million square feet of new leases resulting in the overall increase in occupancy.

 

   

Same-property net operating income growth was 1.5 percent for the twelve months ended June 30, 2011, and 0.5 percent for the three months ended June 30, 2011, as compared to the periods ended June 30, 2010. This positive same-property performance was driven mainly by increased occupancy and the expiration of free rent periods.

Real Estate Investment Activity

Dispositions

Proceeds from property dispositions totaled $62.5 million during the quarter, including a property built pursuant to a take-out agreement. The dispositions comprised over 1.4 million square feet and were 74 percent leased.

Acquisitions

Consistent with our asset repositioning strategy, during the quarter we acquired $116.4 million of mainly class A industrial buildings in major distribution markets as follows:

 

   

The final three industrial buildings from our previously announced South Florida portfolio acquisition;

 

   

A 323,000 square foot industrial building located in Lynwood, CA that was 100 percent leased to a single tenant;

 

   

A 329,000 square foot industrial building that was 48 percent occupied and located in Savannah, GA within close proximity to the port;

 

   

A 604,000 square foot industrial building located in Phoenix, AZ that was 54 percent occupied.

During the quarter, a 300,000 square foot industrial building located in Houston, TX that was 73 percent leased and a 40,000 square foot medical office building located in Atlanta, GA that was 52 percent leased were placed in service.

Joint Venture Properties

 

   

One joint venture development project in Phoenix, AZ was started during the quarter. The project is a 405,000 square foot expansion of an existing industrial building that was 100 percent leased to a single tenant.

 

   

During the quarter, the 406,000 square foot industrial building expansion located in Indianapolis, IN was placed into service. The asset was 100 percent leased.

Information Regarding FFO

The company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable property and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)), plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. The company believes FFO to be most directly comparable to net income as defined by GAAP. The company believes that FFO is an operating measure and should be examined in conjunction with net income (as defined by GAAP) as presented in the financial statements accompanying this release. FFO neither represents a measure of liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for the company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. A reconciliation of net income and net income per share, as defined by GAAP, to FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is included in the financial tables accompanying this release.

For information purposes, the company also provides FFO adjusted for certain items that are generally non-cash in nature and that materially distort the comparative measurement of company performance over time (“Core FFO”). The adjustments include impairment charges, tax expenses or benefit related to (i) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances, (ii) changes in tax exposure accruals that were established as the result of the adoption of new accounting principles, or (iii) taxable income (loss) related to other items excluded from FFO or Core FFO (collectively referred to as “other income tax

items”), gains (losses) on debt transactions, adjustments on the repurchase of preferred stock and gains (losses) on and related costs of acquisitions. Although the calculation of Core FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real estate companies, the company believes it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance. A reconciliation of FFO as defined by NAREIT to Core FFO is included in the financial tables accompanying this release.
