2013 non-cash impairments of $339.8 million (pre-tax, at pro-rata) at Atlantic Yards and Las Vegas land

CLEVELAND, Ohio - February 27, 2014 - Forest City Enterprises, Inc. (NYSE: FCEA and FCEB) today announced FFO, Operating FFO, net earnings/loss and revenues for the 11-month period ended December 31, 2013, as the company completed its previously announced transition to calendar-year reporting.

FFO
Total FFO for the 11 months ended December 31, 2013 was $22.3 million, or $0.11 per share. Total FFO for the company's full, 12-month 2012 fiscal year was $267.4 million, or $1.27 per share. Per-share amounts are on a fully diluted basis.

Positive factors impacting FFO results for the 11 months ended December 31, 2013, compared with the year ended January 31, 2013, included increased FFO from new property openings of $11.7 million, and increased FFO from the mature portfolio of $8.7 million. Major offsets to these positive factors were pre-tax, non-cash impairments of non-depreciable real estate of $339.8 million ($208.0 million net of tax), including impairments at Atlantic Yards in Brooklyn of $242.4 million ($148.4 million net of tax), and Las Vegas land of $97.4 million ($59.6 million net of tax). Other negative impacts to FFO for the 11 months, compared with fiscal year 2012, included reduced capitalized interest of $41.0 million as the company has reduced its development and construction pipeline, lower FFO from properties sold or joint ventured of $28.9 million, reduced FFO of $12.3 million related to a vacancy at One Pierrepont Plaza in Brooklyn, and lower FFO from military housing of $8.1 million.

FFO and FFO per share are non-GAAP measures commonly used by publicly traded real estate companies. Included with this press release is a table reconciling net earnings (loss), the most comparable GAAP measure, to FFO.

Operating FFO
Operating FFO for the 11 months ended December 31, 2013, was $163.4 million. Operating FFO for the full, 12-month 2012 fiscal year was $223.6 million. With the exception of the non-cash impairments referenced above, many of the same factors that impacted FFO for the 11 months also impacted Operating FFO. Those factors are illustrated

Operating FFO is a non-GAAP measure derived from FFO. The company believes Operating FFO provides investors with additional information about its core operations. Included with this press release is a table reconciling Operating FFO to FFO.

Net Earnings/Loss
For the 11 months ended December 31, 2013, the net loss attributable to Forest City Enterprises, Inc., was $5.3 million. For the full 12-month 2012 fiscal year, the company had net earnings of $36.4 million.

For the 11 months ended December 31, 2013, the net loss attributable to common shareholders was $5.5 million, or $0.03 per share. For the full 12-month 2012 fiscal year, the company had net earnings of $4.3 million, or $0.01 per share. Per-share amounts are on a fully diluted basis.

Additional explanations of factors impacting FFO, Operating FFO and net earnings/loss for the 11 months ended December 31, 2013, are included in the company's 2013 Form 10-KT, filed with the SEC, and Yearend 2013 supplemental package furnished to the SEC and available on the company's website, www.forestcity.net.

Revenues
Consolidated revenues from real estate operations for the 11 months ended December 31, 2013, were $1.0 billion. Revenues for the company's full, 12-month 2012 fiscal year were $1.1 billion.

Commentary
“2013 was a transformational year for Forest City in many ways," said David J. LaRue, Forest City president and chief executive officer. “The continued execution of our key strategies is strengthening our balance sheet and reducing risk, improving the overall quality of our mature portfolio, focusing future development in the strongest markets, and ensuring that we strive for efficient, best-in-class operations. These actions are positioning the company for future growth and value creation.

"While we are pleased with this strategic progress, our FFO results for the 11 months were clearly disappointing. Underperformance of the Barclays Center arena and our Westchester's Ridge Hill regional mall contributed to the shortfall, but the largest factors were the non-cash impairments we recognized in the third quarter on our Las Vegas land project, and at yearend on our investment at Atlantic Yards. While these impairments negatively impacted our 2013 results, they reflect our continued strategic focus on core markets and on activating our pipeline of entitled development opportunities.

"Turning to our mature portfolio, operating results continued to show considerable strength in 2013. Our apartment portfolio had a good year, with growth in Comp NOI in line with peers, following very strong growth in prior periods. Results from our retail malls continue to trend positive, both as a result of a strengthening economy as well as continued focus on a higher-productivity portfolio of centers. Performance of our office portfolio was down, impacted primarily by vacancy at One Pierrepont Plaza in Brooklyn. We expect improved performance in our office portfolio in 2014.

"We made considerable progress in 2013 on improving our balance sheet, reducing risk and building a strong, sustaining capital structure. We achieved overall debt reduction of $1.1 billion at our pro-rata share ($1.5 billion at full consolidation), going from $8.3 billion at pro-rata ($6.8 billion at full consolidation) of total debt at yearend 2012 to $7.2 billion at pro-rata ($5.3 billion at full consolidation) at yearend 2013. Within that overall reduction, we reduced corporate recourse debt by approximately $330 million and annual fixed charges by more than $25 million.

"In addition, we executed strategic partnerships with QIC to invest in and grow eight of our regional malls, and signed a definitive agreement with Greenland Group, subject to regulatory approvals, to accelerate the continued development of Atlantic Yards. We also activated new development in our core markets, including starting two projects that are part our residential development fund with the Arizona State Retirement System (ASRS). Lastly, we complet

ed 10 dispositions of non-core and lower productivity assets, yielding cash proceeds of approximately $250 million."

NOI, Occupancies and Rent
Overall comparable NOI decreased 0.2 percent for the 11 months ended December 31, 2013, compared with the same 11-month period in 2012, with increases of 4.7 percent in apartments and 3.6 percent in retail, and a decrease of 6.4 percent in office.

Comparable office occupancies increased to 92.8 percent at December 31, 2013, compared with 91.9 percent at January 31, 2013. For the 11 months ended December 31, 2013, rent per square foot in new office leases increased 1.9 percent over expiring leases.

At December 31, 2013, comparable retail occupancies were 92.4 percent, up from 91.8 percent at January 31, 2013. Sales in the company's regional malls averaged $499 per square foot on a rolling 12-month basis, up from $470 per square foot at January 31, 2013, and up from $482 per square foot at October 31, 2013. Year-to-date comparable sales in the company's regional malls increased 1.4 percent, compared with results for the fourth quarter of 2012. For the 11 months ended December 31, 2013, new, same-space leases in the company's regional malls increased 17.5 percent over prior rents.

In the residential portfolio, comparable average occupancies year to date were 94.7 percent, up from 94.5 percent for the fourth quarter of 2012. For the 11 months ended December 31, 2013, average monthly residential rents for the company's comparable apartments rose to $1,301, a 3.4 percent increase compared with $1,258 at the end of fiscal 2012. Comparable average rents in the company's core markets were $1,699, a 4.2 percent increase from $1,631 at the end of 2012.

Comparable NOI, defined as NOI from stabilized properties operated in the 11 months ended December 31, 2013 and 2012, is a non-GAAP financial measure and is based on the pro-rata consolidation method, also a non-GAAP financial measure. Included in this release is a schedule that presents comparable NOI on the full-consolidation method and a reconciliation of NOI to net earnings (loss).

Debt Maturities, Financing Activity and Liquidity
Since January 31, 2013, the company has addressed, through closed loans and committed financings, a total of approximately $2.3 billion ($2.2 billion at pro-rata) of long-term maturities, including all of the $835.6 million ($1.0 billion at pro-rata) of long-term debt maturities that came due in 2013, and $1.5 billion ($1.2 billion at pro-rata) of loans maturing in future years.

In financing its real estate assets, the company uses nonrecourse mortgage debt at the property level and seeks to fix interest rates on its mortgage debt through long-term financings in order to take advantage of historically low interest rates in the current environment. At December 31, 2013, the company's overall weighted-average cost of debt decreased to 4.66 percent, compared with 5.04 percent at January 31, 2013. Fixed-rate debt represented 75 percent of total debt at December 31, 2013. The company's weighted-average life of its debt increased to 8.0 years at December 31, 2013, from 7.0 years at January 31, 2013.

At December 31, 2013, the company had $280.2 million ($311.7 million at the company's pro-rata share) in cash on its balance sheet and $440.2 million of available capacity on its bank revolving credit facility.

Project Openings and Under Construction
At December 31, 2013, Forest City had seven projects under construction at a total cost of $408.2 million at the company's pro-rata share ($406.6 million at full consolidation). They include the following projects:

In Boston, Radian (formerly 120 Kingston), a 240-unit apartment project, is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2014.

2175 Market Street, an 88-unit apartment project in San Francisco, is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2014.

At The Yards in Washington, D.C, Twelve12, a 218-unit apartment project with 88,000 square feet of street-level retail, is expected to open in the third quarter of 2014 and 92 percent of the retail component is leased.

3700M (formerly West Village), a 381-unit apartment project in Dallas, is expected to begin phased opening in the third quarter of 2014.

In New Haven, Connecticut, Winchester Lofts, a 158-unit adaptive reuse apartment project, is expected to be completed in the third quarter of 2014.

At B2 BKLYN, the first residential tower at Atlantic Yards, located adjacent to the Barclays Center, delivery of the project's modular apartments began in January 2014. B2 will be a 50/30/20 rental building with a total of 363 rental units: 182 market-rate, 108 middle-income, and 73 low-income units, and is anticipated to open in the fourth quarter of 2014.

During December 2013 work began at 300 Massachusetts Avenue, a 246,000-square-foot office building at University Park at MIT in Cambridge. The project is expected to be completed in the first quarter of 2016. Millennium Pharmaceuticals will be the sole tenant in the building under a 15-year lease.

Outlook
"Transformation is a ongoing process, and it requires disciplined execution and a commitment to continuous improvement," said LaRue. "We've made considerable progress, but we recognize that there is more to be done. With the improvements we have made on our balance sheet, our focus on strong core markets and products, our strategic partnerships with global real estate leaders, and our pipeline of entitled development opportunities, we believe the company is well positioned to accelerate future growth and value creation.”

Change in Fiscal Year-End
On March 29, 2012, the Board of Directors of the company approved a change to the company's fiscal year-end to December 31 from January 31, effective December 31, 2013 (the “Year-end change”). As a result, the company is presenting an 11 month period ended December 31, 2013 as its transition period (the “2013 Transition period”) in this earnings release. Due to the Year-end change, many of the differences in comparisons of the company's results are impacted by the one-month difference between the 2013 Transition period and the full years. The company believes the Year-end change is important and useful to its financial statement users to allow for increased comparability of its performance to its peers.

Corporate Description
Forest City Enterprises, Inc. is an NYSE-listed national real estate company with $9.0 billion in total assets. The company is principally engaged in the ownership, development, management and acquisition of commercial and residential real estate and land throughout the United States. For more information, visit www.forestcity.net.

Supplemental Package
Please refer to the Investor Relations section of the company's website at www.forestcity.net for a supplemental package, which the company will furnish to the SEC on Form 8-K. The supplemental package includes operating and financial information for the eleven months ended December 31, 2013 and the year ended January 31, 2013, with reconciliations of non-GAAP financial measures, such as FFO, Operating FFO, NOI, comparable NOI and results prepared using the pro-rata consolidation method, to their most directly comparable GAAP financial measures.

FFO
The company uses FFO, along with net earnings (loss) to report its operating results. The majority of the company's peers in the publicly traded real estate industry are Real Estate Investment Trusts (“REITs") and report operations using FFO as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO provides

4


supplemental information about the company's operations. Although FFO is not presented in accordance with GAAP, the company believes it is necessary to understand its business and operating results, along with net earnings, the most comparable GAAP measure.

FFO is defined by NAREIT as net earnings (loss) excluding the following items, at the company's proportionate share: i) gain (loss) on disposition of rental properties, divisions and other investments (net of tax); ii) non-cash charges for real estate depreciation and amortization; iii) impairment of depreciable real estate (net of tax); iv) extraordinary items (net of tax); and v) cumulative or retrospective effect of change in accounting principle (net of tax). Net earnings (loss), the most comparable financial measure calculated in accordance with GAAP, is reconciled to FFO in the table titled Reconciliation of Net Earnings (Loss) to FFO below and in the company's supplemental package, which the company will furnish to the SEC on Form 8-K.

Operating FFO
The company defines Operating FFO as FFO, as defined by NAREIT, adjusted to exclude: i) activity related to our land held for divestiture (including impairment charges); ii) impairment of non-depreciable real estate; iii) write-offs of abandoned development projects; iv) income recognized on state and federal historic and other tax credits; v) gains or losses from extinguishment of debt; vi) change in fair market value of nondesignated hedges; vii) gains or losses on change in control of interests; viii) the adjustment to recognize rental revenues and rental expense using the straight-line method; ix) participation payments to ground lessors on refinancing of our properties; x) other transactional items; xi) the Nets pre-tax FFO; and xii) income taxes on FFO. The company believes its presentation of FFO and Operating FFO provides important supplemental information to its investors. Operating FFO may not be directly comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other companies.

Pro-Rata Consolidation Method
This press release contains certain financial measures prepared in accordance with GAAP under the full consolidation accounting method and certain financial measures prepared in accordance with the pro-rata consolidation method (non-GAAP). The company presents certain financial amounts under the pro-rata method because it believes this information is useful to investors as this method reflects the manner in which the company operates its business. In line with industry practice, the company has made a large number of investments in which its economic ownership is less than 100 percent as a means of procuring opportunities and sharing risk. Under the pro-rata consolidation method, the company presents its investments proportionate to its economic share of ownership. Under GAAP, the full consolidation method is used to report partnership assets and liabilities consolidated at 100 percent if deemed to be under its control or if the company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of the variable interest entities ("VIE"), even if its ownership is not 100 percent. The company provides reconciliations from the full consolidation method to the pro-rata consolidation method below and throughout its supplemental package, which the company will furnish to the SEC on Form 8-K.

NOI
NOI, a non-GAAP measure, is defined as revenues (excluding straight-line rent adjustments) less operating expenses (including depreciation and amortization for non-real estate groups) plus interest income, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated entities (excluding gain (loss) on disposition, gain (loss) on land held for divestiture activity, impairment, interest expense, gain (loss) on extinguishment of debt and depreciation and amortization of unconsolidated entities). The company believes NOI provides management, as well as investors, with additional information about the company's core business operations and, along with earnings, is necessary to understand the business and operating results. NOI may not be directly comparable to similarly-titled measures reported by other companies.

Comparable NOI
In addition to NOI, the company uses comparable NOI as a metric to evaluate performance of its operating rental property portfolio, specifically for multi-family, office and retail properties. This measure provides a same-store comparison of operating results of all stabilized properties that are open and operating in both periods presented. Write-offs of abandoned development projects, non-capitalizable development costs and unallocated management and service company overhead, net of tax credit income, are not directly attributable to an operating property and are considered non-comparable NOI. In addition, certain income and expense items at the property level, such as lease

5


termination income, real estate tax assessments or rebates and participation payments as a result of refinancing transactions and NOI impacts of changes in ownership percentages, are removed from comparable NOI and are included in non-comparable NOI. Other properties and activities such as Arena, hotels, subsidized senior housing, military housing, the Nets, corporate activities and land are not evaluated on a same-store basis and the NOI from these properties and activities are considered non-comparable NOI.

Safe Harbor Language

The company's actual results could differ materially from those expressed or implied in such forward-looking statements due to various risks, uncertainties and other factors.
