Recent Activity:

- On October 27, 2009, the Company closed a common stock offering of 13.8 million shares that raised net proceeds of $383 million.
- During 2009, the Company reduced its overall debt by $1.36 billion. The deleveraging resulted from applying cash from operations, joint venture transactions, non-core asset sales and the equity offering in October.
- Portfolio occupancy at December 31, 2009 was 91.1% compared to 92.3% at December 31, 2008.

Commenting on the quarter and the year, Arthur Coppola chairman and chief executive officer of Macerich stated, "Much of our focus throughout the year was on improving our balance sheet. That effort has paid off with a significant debt reduction resulting from the execution of our capital plan. Our capital plan for 2009 included joint venturing existing assets, selling non-core assets, issuing stock dividends and a major equity issuance. During the year we generated over $1.14 billion in cash that has been applied towards our de-leveraging goals."

THE MACERICH COMPANY
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT SHARE AND PER SHARE AMOUNTS)
(a) The following dispositions impacted the results for the three and
twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008:
On April 25, 2005, in connection with the acquisition of Wilmorite
Holdings, L.P. and its affiliates, the Company issued, as part of
the consideration, participating and non-participating convertible
preferred units in MACWH, LP. On January 1, 2008, a subsidiary of
the Company, at the election of the holders, redeemed approximately
3.4 million participating convertible preferred units in exchange
for the distribution of the interests in the entity which held that
portion of the Wilmorite portfolio that consisted of Eastview
Commons, Eastview Mall, Greece Ridge Center, Marketplace Mall and
Pittsford Plaza ("Rochester Properties"). This exchange is referred
to as the "Rochester Redemption." As a result of the Rochester
Redemption , the Company recorded a gain of $99.1 million and
classified the gain to discontinued operations.
On December 19, 2008, the Company sold the fee simple and/or ground
leasehold interests in three freestanding Mervyn's buildings to the
Pacific Premier Retail Trust joint venture for $43.4 million. As a
result of the sale, the Company has classified the results of
operations to discontinued operations for all periods presented.
During the twelve months ending December 31, 2009, the Company sold
six non-core community centers for $83.2 million and sold five
Kohl's stores for approximately $52.7 million. As a result of these
sales, the Company has classified the results of operations to
discontinued operations for all periods presented.
(b) On January 1, 2009, the Company adopted new accounting standards
associated with convertible debt. As a result, the Company
retrospectively applied the standards to the three and twelve months
ended December 31, 2008 resulting in an increase to interest expense
of $3.1 million and $13.8 million, respectively, a decrease in gain
on early extinguishment of debt of $11.1 million and $11.1 million,
respectively, and a decrease to net income available to common
stockholders of $12.3 million and $21.4 million, respectively, or
$0.14 per share and $0.25 per share, respectively. In addition, FFO
decreased for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2008 by
$14.3 million and $24.9 million, respectively, or by $0.16 per
share and $0.28 per share, respectively.
(c) This represents the outside partners' allocation of net income in
the Chandler Fashion Center/Freehold Raceway Mall joint venture.
(d) On February 25, 1998, the Company sold $100 million of convertible
preferred stock representing 3.627 million shares. The convertible
preferred shares were convertible on a 1 for 1 basis for common
stock.
On October 18, 2007, 560,000 shares of convertible preferred stock
were converted to common shares. Additionally, on May 6, 2008,
May 8, 2008 and September 18, 2008, 684,000, 1,338,860 and 1,044,271
shares of convertible preferred stock were converted to common
shares, respectively. As of December 31, 2008, there was no
convertible preferred stock outstanding.
The preferred shares were not assumed converted for purposes of net
income per share - diluted for the twelve months ended December 31,
2008 as they would be antidilutive to the calculation. The weighted
average preferred shares are assumed converted for purposes of FFO
per share - diluted for 2008.
(e) 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 the 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 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.
(f) 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. The Company also
cautions that FFO as presented, may not be comparable to similarly
titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts.
Gains or losses on sales of undepreciated assets and the impact of
amortization of above/below market leases have been included in FFO.
The inclusion of gains on sales of undepreciated assets increased
FFO for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008
by $1.3 million, $4.6 million, $0.3 million and $3.8 million,
respectively, or by $0.01 per share, $0.05 per share, $0.00 per
share and $0.04 per share, respectively. Additionally, amortization
of above/below market leases increased FFO for the three and twelve
months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008 by $3.3 million, $13.7
million, $14.2 million and $27.4 million, respectively, or by $0.03
per share, $0.15 per share, $0.16 per share and $0.31 per share,
respectively.

(g) EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes,
depreciation, amortization, noncontrolling interests, 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.
(h) 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
straight-line and above/below market adjustments to minimum rents.
