BIOMED REALTY TRUST REPORTS THIRD QUARTER 2012 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Year-over-year FFO and AFFO per share rise 13.3% and 10.0%, respectively

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – November 1, 2012 – BioMed Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: BMR), a real estate investment trust (REIT) that delivers optimal real estate solutions for the life science industry, today announced financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2012.

Third Quarter 2012 Highlights

Commenting on the company’s third quarter results, Alan D. Gold, Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of BioMed Realty, said, “Once again, our exceptional operating and financial results in the third quarter were directly attributable to sustained strong leasing success - driving over 500 basis points of net absorption in our same property portfolio, significant cash flow growth with a 13% increase in FFO per share and a 10% increase in AFFO per share,

and record total and rental revenues. We are proud to report that, as a result of the third quarter leasing activity and our recently announced leases with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals in New York and Ironwood Pharmaceuticals in Cambridge, we have exceeded 1.8 million square feet of gross leasing volume, a full 150% of our five-quarter leasing goal with two months remaining in the year. This achievement demonstrates, yet again, our proven ability to leverage BioMed Realty’s particular skill, expertise and relationships in life science real estate to create value for our stockholders.”

Portfolio Update

During the quarter ended September 30, 2012, the company executed 22 leasing transactions representing approximately 367,400 square feet, comprised of 16 new leases totaling approximately 190,700 square feet and six lease renewals totaling approximately 176,700 square feet. Leasing activity for the quarter included a new 46,400 square foot lease with Idenix Pharmaceuticals, Inc. at the company’s 320 Bent Street property in Cambridge, Massachusetts and a lease extension with a subsidiary of Vertex Pharmaceuticals Incorporated for approximately 81,200 square feet at the company’s Torreyana Road property in San Diego, California. As result of the leasing volume, net absorption for the quarter exceeded 115,000 square feet.

Same property net operating income on a cash basis increased for the period by 7.7% and the same property leased percentage increased by 510 basis points for the quarter compared to the same period in 2011, primarily as a result of sustained leasing success and contractual rent escalations. Operating margins and operating expense recoveries for the third quarter increased 160 basis points and 310 basis points, respectively, versus the same period in 2011, driven by increased portfolio occupancy.

During the quarter, the company’s largest tenant, Human Genome Sciences, Inc., which occupies the company’s Shady Grove Road and 9911 Belward Campus Drive properties in Rockville, Maryland and represents 10.2% of annualized base rents, was acquired by GlaxoSmithKline plc. GlaxoSmithKline is one of the world’s leading global pharmaceutical and healthcare companies researching and developing a broad range of innovative medicines and brands with a market capitalization of approximately $114 billion and a credit rating of A+ from Standard & Poor’s Rating Services and A1 from Moody’s Investors Service. Primarily as a result of this transaction, the portion of BioMed Realty’s estimate of revenues attributable to global pharmaceuticals, A-rated life science companies and their subsidiaries is approximately 25%. Approximately 83% of the company’s revenues come from universities, government entities, research institutions and public companies.

The total operating portfolio was approximately 90.5% leased on a weighted-average basis as of September 30, 2012, an increase of 360 basis points as compared to the same period last year. Since the third quarter of 2010, the company’s total operating portfolio leased percentage on a weighted-average basis has increased 840 basis points.

Also during the quarter, the company completed the acquisition of 9900/9901 Belward Campus Drive in Rockville, Maryland for approximately $26.2 million. The two building property comprises approximately 106,500 square feet of laboratory and office space which is approximately 92.5% leased.

At September 30, 2012, the company’s total portfolio comprised approximately 13.1 million rentable square feet with an additional 4.0 million square feet of development potential.

Subsequent to the end of the third quarter, the company signed a lease expansion with Regeneron Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for an additional approximately 80,500 square feet at The Landmark at Eastview campus in Tarrytown, New York and a lease expansion with Ironwood Pharmaceuticals, Inc. for approximately 93,000 square feet and an extension for the balance of the 210,000 square feet they currently lease at the company’s 301 Binney Street property in Cambridge, Massachusetts. The term of the Ironwood lease now extends through January 31, 2018.

Third Quarter 2012 Financial Results

Total revenues for the third quarter were $134.5 million, compared to $114.6 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of 17.4% and the highest in the company’s history for the third consecutive quarter. Rental revenues for the third quarter were $101.5 million, compared to $83.5 million for the same period in 2011, an increase of 21.4% and the highest in the company’s history for the eleventh consecutive quarter. The company reported net income available to common stockholders for the third quarter of $2.8 million, or $0.02 per diluted share.

FFO was $56.2 million for the quarter, or $0.34 per diluted share, an increase of 13.3% compared to $0.30 per diluted share for the same period in 2011. AFFO was $55.6 million for the quarter, or $0.33 per diluted share, an increase of 10.0% compared to $0.30 per diluted share for the same period in 2011. These amounts include other revenue of $725,000 from the early termination of a lease with Merck at 320 Bent Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts occurring during the quarter. Acquisition-related expenses for the quarter were not significant.

FFO and AFFO are supplemental non-GAAP financial measures used in the real estate industry to measure and compare the operating performance of real estate companies. A complete reconciliation containing adjustments from GAAP net income available to common stockholders to FFO and AFFO and definitions of terms are included at the end of this release.

Financing Activity

During the third quarter, the company assumed two loans associated with the acquisition of 9900/9901 Belward Campus Drive. These loans are secured by mortgages on the two buildings with an aggregate principal balance of approximately $24.1 million, a weighted-average interest rate of approximately 5.64% and maturity dates in July 2017.

Also during the quarter, the company amended its senior unsecured term loan facility to convert $156.4 million of outstanding borrowings under the facility to British pounds sterling equal to £100 million, with the base rate index on this portion of the facility being GBP 1-month LIBOR. Concurrent with this amendment, the company entered into interest rate swap agreements, which were structured to have the effect of fixing interest payments on the British pounds sterling portion outstanding under the unsecured term loan at approximately 2.39% for the remaining term, subject to adjustment based on the company’s credit ratings.

Quarterly and Annual Distributions

BioMed Realty Trust’s board of directors previously declared a third quarter 2012 dividend of $0.215 per share of common stock, and a dividend of $0.46094 per share of the company’s 7.375% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock for the period from July 16, 2012 through October 15, 2012. The third quarter common share dividend is equivalent to an annualized dividend of $0.86 per common share.

Earnings Guidance

The company’s revised 2012 guidance for net income per diluted share and CFFO and FFO per diluted share is set forth and reconciled below. Projected net income per diluted share and CFFO and FFO per diluted share are based upon estimated, weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding of approximately 167.3 million for the full year, including the impact of the assumed conversion of the company’s exchangeable senior notes due 2030. In addition, projected FFO and CFFO per diluted share include approximately $0.02 of termination fee income arising from the early termination of the lease noted above.

The company’s initial 2013 guidance for net income per diluted share and FFO per diluted share are set forth and reconciled below. Projected net income per diluted share and FFO per diluted share are based upon estimated, weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding of approximately 168.0 million.

At the midpoint, the company’s 2013 FFO guidance represents a 6.2% increase over the company’s 2012 core FFO guidance.

The company continues to target new investment opportunities, including acquisitions and new development projects; however, the company’s 2013 FFO estimates do not reflect the impact of any future new investments (acquisitions or development) as the FFO impact of such investments may vary significantly based on the nature of these investments, timing and other factors. In addition, these projections reflect approximately $5.8 million ($0.03 per diluted share) in other revenue related to Merck’s 2012 lease termination.

The foregoing estimates are forward-looking and reflect management’s view of current and future market conditions, including certain assumptions with respect to leasing activity, rental rates, occupancy levels, interest rates, financings, acquisitions, development and redevelopment and the amount and timing of acquisitions, development and redevelopment activities. The company’s actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Our FFO and CFFO available to common shares and partnership and LTIP units and a reconciliation to net income for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

Our AFFO available to common shares and partnership and LTIP units and a reconciliation of CFFO to AFFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2012 and 2011 was as follows:

We present funds from operations, or FFO, core funds from operations, or CFFO, and adjusted funds from operations, or AFFO, available to common shares and partnership and LTIP units because we consider them important supplemental measures of our operating performance and believe they are frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO, CFFO and AFFO when reporting their results.

FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT. As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, impairment charges on depreciable real estate, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

We calculate CFFO by adding acquisition-related expenses to FFO. We calculate AFFO by adding to CFFO: (a) non-cash revenues and expenses, (b) recurring capital expenditures and second generation tenant improvements, and (c) leasing commissions.

Our computation of FFO, CFFO and AFFO may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO, CFFO and AFFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO, CFFO and AFFO do not represent cash flow available for management’s discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO, CFFO and AFFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. FFO, CFFO and AFFO should be considered only as supplements to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as measures of our operations.
