PRESS RELEASE

For:   THE MACERICH COMPANY

 

 

MACERICH ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY RESULTS and $600 MILLION 12-YEAR 3.49%
FINANCING OF QUEENS CENTER

        Santa Monica, CA (10/31/12)—The Macerich Company (NYSE Symbol: MAC) today announced results of operations for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 which included funds from operations ("FFO") diluted of $112.9 million compared to $104.2 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") diluted was $112.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $107.4 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 and AFFO per share-diluted was $.78 for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to $.75 for the quarter ended September 30, 2011. Net income available to common stockholders was $43.9 million for the quarter ended September 30, 2012 compared to net income available to common stockholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of $12.9 million. A description and reconciliation of FFO per share-diluted and AFFO per share-diluted to EPS-diluted is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Recent Highlights:

    Mall tenant annual sales per square foot increased 9.4% to $511 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2012 compared to $467 for the twelve months ended September 30, 2011.

    The releasing spreads for the twelve months ended September 30, 2012 were up 18.5%.

    Portfolio occupancy was 93.0% at September 30, 2012 compared to 91.9% at September 30, 2011.

    During the quarter, the Company issued 2,962,000 common shares under its ATM equity program. The average sales price per share was $60.06 and the Company netted $176.1 million.

    On October 3, 2012, the Company acquired a 75% ownership interest in FlatIron Crossing.

        Commenting on the quarter, Arthur Coppola chairman and chief executive officer of Macerich stated, "It was another strong quarter, with continued improvement of our fundamentals with occupancy gains, strong growth in tenant sales and solid releasing spreads.

        In addition, we have been very active on the capital front with over $1.0 billion of financings for the year, with more financings planned for the fourth quarter. These financings will significantly lengthen our maturity schedule and also reduce our floating rate debt levels. The recent announcement of our planned acquisition of Kings Plaza and Green Acres Mall, which combined with $468 million of asset dispositions year to date, is perfectly aligned with our announced goal of recycling capital out of non-core assets into our core markets."

Equity and Financing Activity:

        During the quarter the Company issued 2,962,000 shares of common stock under its at-the-market ("ATM") program. The average sales price per share was $60.06 and the net proceeds were $176.1 million.

        The Company has arranged a $600 million loan on Queens Center. The loan is a 12 year fixed rate loan bearing interest at 3.487%. The loan proceeds will pay off the former loan of $317 million which has an interest rate of 7.3%. The closing is expected in December 2012.

        The Company also committed to a $205 million loan on Deptford Mall. The new 10 year fixed rate loan is expected to have an interest rate of approximately 3.75% and will pay off the current $172 million loan. The new loan is planned to close in December 2012.


        In September, the Company refinanced Westside Pavilion. The new loan is a $155 million, 10 year fixed rate loan with an interest rate of 4.49%.

        Also in September, the Company placed a $110 million loan on the previously unencumbered Chesterfield Towne Center. The loan has a 10 year term and a fixed interest rate of 4.8%.

Acquisition and Disposition Activity:

        On October 3, 2012, the Company acquired a 75% ownership interest in FlatIron Crossing, a 1.5 million square foot super regional mall in Broomfield, Colorado. The purchase price was $196 million in cash plus the assumption of a pro rata share of the debt of $127 million. This acquisition brings the Company's ownership of FlatIron Crossing to 100%. The FlatIron Crossing mall tenant annual sales per square foot are $531.

        On October 22, 2012, the Company announced the $1.25 billion acquisition of Kings Plaza and Green Acres Mall. The Kings Plaza acquisition is expected to close in November 2012, and the Green Acres Mall acquisition is expected to close in January 2013.

        During the quarter, the Company was bought out of its equity interest in NorthPark Center in Dallas, Texas. The Company made an initial equity investment of $75 million in 2004 and was bought out for $119 million in cash. The Company was also relieved of its pro rata share of debt of $163 million. Dispositions for the year total $468 million.

2012 Earnings Guidance:

        Management is reaffirming its previously issued 2012 AFFO per share-diluted guidance range of $3.06 to $3.14.

THE MACERICH COMPANY
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

(a)
The Company has classified the results of operations on dispositions as discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011.

(b)
This represents the outside partners' allocation of net income in the Chandler Fashion Center/Freehold Raceway Mall joint venture.

(c)
The Macerich Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership" or the "OP") has operating partnership units ("OP units"). OP units can be converted into shares of Company common stock. Conversion of the OP units not owned by the Company has been assumed for purposes of calculating FFO per share and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The computation of average shares for FFO—diluted includes the effect of share and unit-based compensation plans, stock warrants and convertible senior notes using the treasury stock method. It also assumes conversion of MACWH, LP preferred and common units to the extent they are dilutive to the calculation.

(d)
The Company uses FFO in addition to net income to report its operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO-diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") measures. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciated operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, impairment write-downs of real estate and write-downs of investments in an affiliate where the write-downs have been driven by a decrease in the value of real estate held by the affiliate and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") excludes the FFO impact of Shoppingtown Mall and Valley View Center for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011. In December 2011, the Company conveyed Shoppingtown Mall to the lender by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure. In July 2010, a court-appointed receiver assumed operational control of Valley View Center and responsibility for managing all aspects of the property. Valley View Center was sold by the receiver on April 23, 2012, and the related non-recourse mortgage loan obligation was fully extinguished on that date. On May 31, 2012, the Company conveyed Prescott Gateway to the lender by a deed-in-lieu of foreclosure and the debt was forgiven resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $16.3 million. AFFO excludes the gain on extinguishment of debt on Prescott Gateway for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012.

FFO and FFO on a diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization, as the Company believes real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. The Company believes that AFFO and AFFO on a diluted basis provide useful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance as they show a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company's operating performance and allow investors to more easily compare the Company's results without taking into account non-cash credits and charges on properties controlled by either a receiver or loan servicer. FFO and AFFO on a diluted basis are measures investors find most useful in measuring the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP, and are not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. The Company also cautions that FFO and AFFO as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts.

(e)
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, noncontrolling interests, extraordinary items, gain (loss) on remeasurement, sale or write down of assets and preferred dividends and includes joint ventures at their pro rata share. Management considers EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it helps investors understand the ability of the Company to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies.

(f)
The Company presents same-center NOI because the Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate the operating performance of comparable centers. Same-center NOI is calculated using total EBITDA and subtracting out EBITDA from non-comparable centers and eliminating the management companies and the Company's general and administrative expenses. Same center NOI excludes the impact of lease termination income, straight-line and above/below market adjustments to minimum rents.
