BIOMED REALTY TRUST REPORTS SECOND QUARTER 2013 FINANCIAL RESULTS

Second Quarter Leasing Volume of 898,000 Square Feet – Largest in Company History

SAN DIEGO, Calif. – August 6, 2013 – 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 second quarter ended June 30, 2013.

Second Quarter 2013 Highlights

Commenting on the second quarter results, BioMed Realty’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Alan D. Gold, remarked, “Our exceptional leasing performance in the second quarter of 898,000 square feet pushed our leasing volume well ahead of our full year target. Our sustained leasing success continues to provide the catalyst that drives our operating and financial results, with robust year-over-year increases in revenues and cash flows for the second quarter. Our team’s core competencies in singularly focusing on serving the needs of and building valuable relationships with the life science industry are the foundation of our superior top-line and bottom-line results and enterprise growth, which was enhanced during the second quarter with the addition of the Wexford Science & Technology team and platform. Together, we leverage the strongest team in the industry and continue to acquire, develop and operate the industry’s highest quality portfolio, attracting and supporting top-tier tenants to drive our growth over the balance of 2013 and beyond.”

Portfolio Update

The company executed 20 leasing transactions in the quarter ended June 30, 2013, representing approximately 898,000 square feet, comprised of eight new leases totaling approximately 422,800 square feet and twelve lease renewals totaling approximately 475,300 square feet.

During the second quarter, the company completed its merger with Wexford Science & Technology, owner and developer of institutional quality life science real estate for academic and medical research organizations. The

aggregate consideration for Wexford Science & Technology was approximately $669.1 million, which reflects the estimated initial consideration of $640 million adjusted for additional construction and development costs incurred from March 26, 2013, the date of the merger agreement, to the closing date of May 31, 2013, and the value of common stock and operating partnership units issued by BioMed Realty as consideration.

In addition, the company acquired 320 Charles Street in Cambridge, Massachusetts during the quarter for $49.5 million, excluding transaction costs, comprising approximately 99,500 square feet of laboratory and office space which was 100% leased to The Whitehead Institute for BioMedical Research. In connection with the acquisition, the company issued approximately 2.0 million operating partnership units to the seller, with the balance of the purchase price paid in cash.

Kent Griffin, President and Chief Operating Officer of BioMed Realty, noted, “We are very pleased that the merger with Wexford Science & Technology was completed ahead of schedule, largely a function of the common commitment and dedication of our combined teams. The expedited and seamless closing gives us a head start toward growing and maximizing the value of our combined operating portfolios and expanded development pipeline.”

Same property net operating income on a cash basis increased for the period by 2.5%, primarily as a result of sustained leasing success and contractual rent escalations, partially offset by a lease termination at the 180 and 200 Oyster Point properties in South San Francisco. The company received a $46.5 million termination payment from Elan Corporation in the second quarter of 2013 which is not reflected in these same-property operating results. Excluding these two properties, which were concurrently leased to Life Technologies, the same property net operating income on a cash basis increased by 4.9% for the second quarter of 2013 as compared to the same period a year-ago.

The total operating portfolio was approximately 90.8% leased on a weighted-average basis as of June 30, 2013. At June 30, 2013, the company’s total portfolio comprised approximately 16.3 million rentable square feet with an additional 4.3 million square feet of development potential.

Second Quarter 2013 Financial Results

Total revenues for the second quarter were approximately $159.6 million, compared to approximately $124.8 million for the same period in 2012, an increase of 27.9%. Total revenues include approximately $17.7 million associated with the previously-announced termination of a lease with Elan Corporation, for which the company received a termination fee of $46.5 million in the second quarter. Net of the related accelerated amortization of accrued straight-line rents and lease intangibles, the termination fee increased FFO by approximately $35.2 million, of which approximately $13.6 million ($0.07 per diluted share) was recognized in the second quarter. Rental

revenues for the second quarter were approximately $108.1 million, compared to approximately $95.7 million for the same period in 2012, an increase of 13.0%, and the highest in the company’s history.

CFFO for the second quarter was $0.41 per diluted share, compared to $0.32 per diluted share for the same period in 2012. FFO per share, calculated in accordance with standards established by NAREIT, was $0.40 per diluted share for the quarter. AFFO for the quarter was $0.37 per diluted share, as compared to $0.33 per diluted share in the second quarter of 2012.

The company reported net income available to common stockholders for the quarter of approximately $14.8 million, or $0.08 per diluted share.

FFO, CFFO 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, CFFO and AFFO and definitions of terms are included at the end of this release.

Financing Activity

During the second quarter, the company completed a follow-on public offering of 17,250,000 shares of common stock, which included the full exercise of the underwriters’ option to purchase additional shares, raising net proceeds of approximately $354.1 million. The company used the net proceeds of the offering to fund a portion of the purchase price of the merger with Wexford Science & Technology, to repay a portion of the outstanding indebtedness under its unsecured line of credit and for other general corporate and working capital purposes.

“In addition to the tremendous operating success in the second quarter, we stayed true to our proven, sound funding strategy of matching two long-term value creation opportunities – the merger with Wexford Science & Technology and the acquisition of 320 Charles – with long-term capital,” said Greg N. Lubushkin, Chief Financial Officer of BioMed Realty. “Both of these investments were substantially funded with common stock and operating partnership units, thereby ensuring that we remain properly capitalized in order to take full advantage of our fully integrated platform and position ourselves to capture future opportunities.”

Quarterly and Annual Distributions

BioMed Realty Trust’s board of directors previously declared a second quarter 2013 dividend of $0.235 per share of common stock, which is equivalent to an annualized dividend of $0.94 per common share.

Earnings Guidance

The company’s updated 2013 guidance for net income per diluted share, FFO per diluted share and CFFO per diluted share are set forth and reconciled below. Projected net income per diluted share, FFO per diluted share and CFFO per diluted share are based upon estimated, weighted-average diluted common shares outstanding of approximately 198.0 million.

The company continues to target new investment opportunities, including acquisitions and new development projects; however, the company’s 2013 estimates do not reflect the impact of any future new investments as the impact of such investments may vary significantly based on the nature of these investments, timing and other factors.

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 six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 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 six months ended June 30, 2013 and 2012 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 subtracting from 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.
