Macerich Announces Second Quarter Results

SANTA MONICA, Calif., Aug. 3 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- The Macerich Company (NYSE: MAC) today announced results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2006 which included net income available to common stockholders of $25.7 million or $.36 per share-diluted compared to $6.7 million or $.11 per share-diluted for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, net income increased to $33.1 million compared to $24.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. Funds from operations ("FFO") diluted was $85.3 million or $.96 per share compared to $77.0 million or $1.00 per share for the quarter ended June 30, 2005. For the six months ended June 30, 2006, FFO-diluted was $175.4 million compared to $153.0 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005. The Company's definition of FFO is in accordance with the definition provided by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). A reconciliation of net income to FFO and net income per common share-diluted ("EPS") to FFO per share-diluted is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Recent Highlights:

  • During the quarter, Macerich signed 398,000 square feet of specialty store leases at average initial rents of $41.14 per square foot. Starting base rent on new lease signings was 24.5% higher than the expiring base rent.
  • Total same center tenant sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2006, were up 4.4% compared to sales for the quarter ended June 30, 2005.
  • Portfolio occupancy at June 30, 2006 was 92.1% compared to 92.3% at June 30, 2005. On a same center basis, occupancy was 92.1% at June 30, 2006 compared to 92.6% at June 30, 2005.
  • In June, Macerich sold Scottsdale 101 for a total price of $117.6 million. In late July, Greeley Mall, Holiday Village Mall, and Parklane Mall were also sold for a combined sale price of $105 million. The Macerich share of total gain on sale of these assets is in excess of $60 million.
  • In July, Macerich upsized its line of credit from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion. The average borrowing rate was reduced by .25% to 1.15% over LIBOR and the maturity was extended to 2010.

Commenting on results, Arthur Coppola president and chief executive officer of Macerich stated, "The quarter was highlighted by improvement of our balance sheet through continued refinancing activity and sale of non-core assets. The recent sale of four such non-core assets continues our strategy of recycling and redeploying our capital. The strengthening of our balance sheet leaves us very well positioned to take advantage of the pipeline of development and redevelopment opportunities in our existing portfolio.

Although our results were adversely impacted by the increase in short term interest rates compared to a year ago, our core operations continue to be strong. Occupancy remained high, leasing spreads and the volume of leasing were excellent and mall tenant sales growth continues at a healthy level. "

Redevelopment and Development Activity

The opening of the first phase of Twenty-Ninth Street, an 877,000 square foot shopping district in Boulder, Colorado, is planned for October 12 with the balance of the project scheduled for completion in the spring 2007. The project is 75% leased with another 15% of the space committed. Tenants include Ann Taylor Loft, Apple, Bath and Body Works, Borders, California Pizza Kitchen, Century Theatres, Coldwater Creek, Home Depot, J. Jill, Macy's, Muttropolis, Puma, Purple Martini, Victoria's Secret and Wild Oats Market.

Construction began on the 435,000 square foot Village at Flagstaff Mall, a 45 acre large format and lifestyle expansion of Flagstaff Mall. The project is expected to be completed in phases starting in the fall of 2007.

At Westside Pavilion in Los Angeles, construction continues on the redevelopment of the western portion of the center that will include a 104,000 square foot state of the art Landmark Theatre, a Barnes & Noble and restaurants. The estimated completion of the redevelopment is Fall 2007.

In February, construction began on the SanTan Village regional shopping center in Gilbert, Arizona. The center is an outdoor open air streetscape project planned to contain in excess of 1.2 million square feet on 120 acres. The center will be anchored by Dillard's, Harkins Theatres and will contain a lifestyle shopping district featuring retail, office and restaurants. Additional tenants include American Eagle Outfitters, Ann Taylor Loft, Borders, Charlotte Russe, Chico's, Coldwater Creek, J. Jill, Lucy, Pac Sun and Soma. The project is scheduled to open in phases starting in the fall of 2007, with the retail phases expected to be completed by late 2008.

Asset Sales

Macerich continued its strategy of selling non-core assets with the June sale of Scottsdale 101, a power center located in Phoenix, Arizona, for $117.6 million. Macerich owned 46% of the asset. The center was developed by the Westcor subsidiary of Macerich with completion in 2004.

In July, Holiday Village Mall, Greeley Mall and Parklane Mall were sold for an aggregate total purchase price of $105 million. In addition, the sale of Great Falls Marketplace is scheduled to close in August. It is anticipated that the gain on the sale of these four assets will exceed $48 million. These centers totaled 1.6 million square feet and averaged $239 per square foot in annual tenant sales.

The average capitalization rate for the above sales is approximately 7.5%.

Financing Activity

The Company's line of credit was upsized from $1.0 billion to $1.5 billion in July. The borrowing spread was reduced by .25% to 1.15% over LIBOR at the current leverage level. The maturity was extended from July 2007 to April 2010.

In July, a $61 million, 6.625% fixed rate, 10-year loan was placed on Crossroads Mall. On April 19, a $115 million loan was placed on the Centre at Salisbury. The loan is a ten-year fixed rate loan bearing interest at 5.789%. The proceeds of the above loans were used primarily to pay-down floating rate debt.

At the Twenty-Ninth Street development, a $115 million floating rate construction loan closed in June. The initial floating interest rate is LIBOR plus 1.25% for a term of up to three years.

Earnings Guidance

Management is revising upward its guidance for EPS and reducing its guidance range for FFO per share for 2006.

    Revised guidance for 2006 and reconciliation of EPS to FFO per share and
to EBITDA per share:



                                                       Range per share:
    Fully Diluted EPS                                   $1.73 - $1.83
    Plus: Real Estate Depreciation and Amortization      3.71 -  3.71
    Less: gain on sales of depreciated assets           (.89) - (.89)
    Less: impact of preferred stock (dilutive to FFO)   (.10) - (.10)
    Fully Diluted FFO per share                         $4.45 - $4.55

    Plus:  Interest Expense per share                    4.32 - 4.32
    Plus:  Effect of preferred stock dividends            .39 - .39
    Plus: other items                                     .13 - .13
    EBITDA per share                                    $9.29 - $9.39



    This range is based on many assumptions, including the following:

Management expects 2006 same center EBITDA to grow at a 3.0% to 3.5% rate compared to 2005 results. EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, minority interest, extraordinary items, gain (loss) on sale of assets and preferred dividends and includes joint ventures at their pro rata share.

Management's original guidance was based on the forward LIBOR curve at the date of the original guidance and assumed short-term LIBOR interest rates would increase to 5.00% by year-end 2006. The new guidance range assumes LIBOR will reach 5.70% by year-end 2006.

The above guidance also reflects the impact on EPS and FFO of the sale of Holiday Village, Greeley Mall, Great Falls Marketplace, Parklane Mall and Scottsdale 101.

The guidance is based on management's current view of the current market conditions in the regional mall business. Due to the uncertainty in the timing and economics of acquisitions and dispositions, the guidance ranges do not include any potential mall acquisitions or dispositions other than those that have closed or are under contract as of August 3, 2006. The Company is not able to assess at this time the potential impact of such exclusions on future EPS and FFO.

The Macerich Company is a fully integrated self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust, which focuses on the acquisition, leasing, management, development and redevelopment of regional malls throughout the United States. The Company is the sole general partner and owns an 84% ownership interest in The Macerich Partnership, L.P. Macerich now owns approximately 79 million square feet of gross leaseable area consisting primarily of interests in 73 regional malls.

    (a) On February 25, 1998, the Company sold $100,000 of convertible
        preferred stock representing 3.627 million shares.  The convertible
        preferred shares can be converted on a 1 for 1 basis for common stock.
        These preferred shares are not assumed converted for purposes of net
        income per share for 2006 and 2005 as they would be antidilutive to
        those calculations.  The weighted average preferred shares outstanding
        are assumed converted for purposes of FFO per diluted share as they
        are dilutive to that calculation for all periods presented.

    (b) 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 and after adjustments for unconsolidated
        partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated
        partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the
        same basis.  FFO and FFO on a fully 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.  FFO on a fully
        diluted basis is one of the measures investors find most useful in
        measuring the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities.
        FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP,
        should not be considered as an alternative to net income as defined by
        GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow
        needs.  FFO as presented may not be comparable to similarly titled
        measures reported by other real estate investment trusts.

        Effective January 1, 2003, gains or losses on sale of undepreciated
        assets and the impact of SFAS 141 have been included in FFO.  The
        inclusion of gains on sales of undepreciated assets increased FFO
        for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 by
        $3.5 million, $3.6 million, $0.3 million and $1.8 million,
        respectively, or by $.04 per share, $.04 per share, $.00 per share and
        $.02 per share, respectively. Additionally, SFAS 141 increased FFO for
        the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005 by $4.3 million,
        $8.9 million, $3.7 million and $6.1 million, respectively or by $.05
        per share, $.10 per share, $.05 per share and $.08 per share,
        respectively.

    (c) This includes, using the equity method of accounting, the Company's
        prorata share of the equity in income or loss of its unconsolidated
        joint ventures  for all periods presented.

    (d) The Macerich Partnership, LP (the "Operating Partnership" or the "OP")
        has operating partnership units ("OP units").  Each OP unit can be
        converted into a share of Company stock.  Conversion of the OP units
        not owned by the Company has been assumed for purposes of calculating
        the FFO per share and the weighted average number of shares
        outstanding.  The computation of average shares for FFO -- diluted
        includes the effect of outstanding stock options and restricted stock
        using the treasury method.  Also assumes conversion of MACWH, LP units
        to the extent they are dilutive to the calculation.  For the three and
        six months ended June 30, 2006 and 2005, the MACWH, LP units were
        antidilutive to FFO.

    (e) In October 2001, the FASB issued SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the
        Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" ("SFAS 144").  SFAS 144
        addresses financial accounting and reporting for the impairment or
        disposal of long-lived assets.  The Company adopted SFAS 144 on
        January 1, 2002.

        On January 5, 2005, the Company sold Arizona Lifestyle Galleries.  The
        sale of this property resulted in a gain on sale of $0.3 million.  On
        June 9, 2006, Scottsdale 101 in Arizona was sold.  The sale of this
        property resulted in a gain on sale, at the Company's prorata share,
        of $26.0 million.  Additionally, the Company reclassified the results
        of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2006 and
        2005 to discontinued operations.

    (j) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes,
        depreciation, amortization, minority interest, extraordinary items,
        gain (loss) on sale 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.

    (k) 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.
