Kansas City, MO, February 23, 2012 -- Entertainment Properties Trust (NYSE:EPR) today announced operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011.

Total revenue was $77.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2011, representing a 4% increase from $74.7 million for the same quarter in 2010. Net income available to common shareholders was $31.9 million, or $0.68 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2011 compared to $26.7 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share, for the same quarter in 2010. Funds From Operations (FFO) for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $42.6 million, or $0.91 per diluted common share, compared to $40.4 million, or $0.86 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2010. FFO as adjusted for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $42.4 million, or $0.90 per diluted common share, compared to $40.5 million, or $0.86 per diluted common share, for the same period in 2010.
 
Total revenue was $301.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 representing a 4% increase from $289.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2010. Net income available to common shareholders was $84.3 million, or $1.80 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to $84.7 million, or $1.86 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2010. FFO for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $150.3 million, or $3.20 per diluted common share, compared to $128.1 million, or $2.81 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2010. FFO as adjusted for the year ended December 31, 2011 was $160.8 million, or $3.43 per diluted common share, compared to $152.2 million, or $3.34 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

David Brain, President and CEO, commented “In 2011, our business units produced solid results even though our disciplined investment approach resulted in less investment spending than was anticipated. With the continued strengthening of our balance sheet and a significant investment pipeline, particularly in our key build-to-suit theatre and public charter school businesses, we believe we are well positioned for accelerated portfolio and earnings growth. As a result, we are pleased to report an increase in 2012 earnings guidance as well as a 7% increase in our dividend run rate.”

Portfolio Update

As of December 31, 2011, the Company's real estate portfolio consisted of 112 megaplex theatres (including two joint venture properties) totaling approximately 8.8 million square feet, and restaurant, retail and other destination recreation and specialty properties totaling 4.4 million square feet. The Company also owned 35 public charter schools (including two public charter school properties under construction), five vineyards totaling approximately 726 plantable acres and eight wineries totaling approximately 640 thousand square feet. At December 31, 2011, the Company's megaplex theatres were 99% occupied, public charter schools were 100% occupied, and its overall real estate portfolio was 98% occupied.
 
In addition, as of December 31, 2011, the Company's real estate mortgage loan portfolio had a carrying value of $325.1 million and included financing provided for entertainment, retail and recreational properties, including ten metropolitan ski areas covering approximately 6,100 acres in six states.

Investment Update

The Company's investment spending in the fourth quarter totaled $31.0 million bringing the total for the year ended December 31, 2011 to $137.9 million. The Company's investment activity in the fourth quarter included $13.2 million for the development of public charter school properties, $9.0 million in funding to Peak Resorts for the purchase of land at two ski resorts as well as $7.7 million for theatre and retail development projects.
 
Looking forward to 2012, in the first quarter we anticipate entering into eight to ten new build-to-suit theater investments totaling approximately $80.0 million to $100.0 million and closing on $75.0 million of other entertainment and recreational properties. Also in the first quarter of 2012, we anticipate executing commitments totaling approximately $40.0 million for the development of five additional public charter schools expected to open before the end of the fiscal year.

Balance Sheet Update

The Company's balance sheet remains strong with a debt to gross assets ratio (defined as total long-term debt to total assets plus accumulated depreciation) of 38% at December 31, 2011. As previously announced, on October 13, 2011, the Company amended and restated its unsecured revolving credit facility. The facility was increased from $382.5 million to $400.0 million and includes a $100.0 million accordion feature. The facility is priced based on a grid related to the Company's senior unsecured credit ratings, with pricing at closing of LIBOR plus 160 basis points, a 140 basis point reduction in the credit spread from the former facility. The new facility has a maturity date of October 13, 2015 with a one year extension available at the Company's option.
 





On January 5, 2012, the Company entered into a new $240.0 million five year term loan facility. The loan matures on January 5, 2017 and includes a $110.0 million accordion feature. Similar to the revolving credit facility, pricing is based on a grid related to the Company's senior unsecured credit ratings, which at closing was LIBOR plus 175 basis points. Simultaneously at closing, this rate was fixed at 2.66% for the first four years through interest rate swaps. The net proceeds from this new term loan facility were primarily utilized to reduce the outstanding balance of the Company's revolving credit facility to zero.

Dividend

The Company is announcing a dividend for the first quarter of 2012 of $0.75 per common share. This dividend represents an annualized dividend of $3.00 per common share, a 7% increase over the prior year.

Guidance Update

The Company is maintaining its 2012 investment spending guidance of $250.0 million to $300.0 million. The Company is increasing its 2012 guidance for FFO as adjusted per diluted share to $3.50 to $3.70, from the previous guidance of $3.44 to $3.64, to reflect the Company's current investment spending expectations as well as recent financing activities.

Quarterly and Year-End Supplemental

The Company's supplemental information package for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2011 is available on the Company's website at www.eprkc.com.

(A)
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP and management provides FFO herein because it believes this information is useful to investors in this regard. FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies and is provided here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share. Pursuant to the definition of FFO by the Board of Governors of NAREIT, we calculate FFO as net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales or acquisitions of depreciable operating properties and impairment losses of depreciable real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. We have calculated FFO for all periods presented in accordance with this definition. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of our operations or our cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO the same way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. In addition to FFO, we present FFO as adjusted. Management believes it is useful to provide it here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share. FFO as adjusted is FFO plus charges for loan losses, costs (gain) associated with loan refinancing or payoff, net, preferred share redemption costs and transaction costs, less gain on acquisitions. FFO as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO as adjusted does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative to net income




or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of the Company's operations, cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP.

The additional 1.9 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company's 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the additional 1.6 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company's 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and FFO per share for the three months and year ended December 31, 2011 and 2010 because the effect is anti-dilutive.
