MACERICH ANNOUNCES 13% INCREASE IN FFO PER SHARE

 

Santa Monica, CA (8/4/05) - The Macerich Company (NYSE Symbol: MAC) today announced results of operations for the quarter and six months ended June 30, 2005 which included funds from operations (“FFO”) per share – diluted increasing 13% to $1.00 compared to $.89 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and increasing to $1.99 for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $1.79 for the comparable period in 2004. Total FFO – diluted increased by 13.2% to $77 million for the quarter compared to $68 million for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 and to $153 million for the six months ended June 30, 2005 compared to $137 million for the comparable period in 2004. 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 per common share-diluted (“EPS”) to FFO per share-diluted is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

 

Net income available to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2005 was $6.7 million or $.11 per share-diluted compared to $17.1 million or $.29 per share-diluted for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. For the six months ended June 30, 2005 net income available to common stockholders was $24.9 million or $.42 per share-diluted compared to $35.2 million or $.60 per share-diluted for the six months ended June 30, 2004. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is included in the financial highlights section of this press release.

 

Recent highlights:


During the quarter, Macerich signed 339,000 square feet of specialty store leases at average initial rents of $34.97 per square foot. First year rents on mall and freestanding store leases signed during the quarter were 13% higher than average expiring rents.

This quarter’s FFO per diluted share increased 13% to $1.00 from $.89 for the quarter ended June 30, 2004. The growth was reduced by approximately $.02 per share as a result of marking the director’s phantom stock to market.

Total same center tenant sales, for the quarter ended June 30, 2005, were up 6.0% compared to sales levels for the quarter ended June 30, 2004.

Portfolio occupancy at June 30, 2005 was 92.3% compared to 91.7% at June 30, 2004. On a same center basis occupancy was 92.1% at June 30, 2005 compared to 92.3% at June 30, 2004.

On April 25, 2005 the Company closed on the $2.333 billion acquisition of the Wilmorite portfolio.

 

Commenting on results and recent events, Arthur Coppola president and chief executive officer of Macerich stated, “The quarter was highlighted by the acquisition of Wilmorite. The addition of Tysons Corner, Danbury Fair Mall, Freehold Raceway Mall and the balance of the Wilmorite portfolio is a huge benefit for us. Tysons, Danbury, Freehold, along with our recently expanded Queens Center in New York, gives us a very substantial presence in the East.

 

Macerich enjoyed another quarter of double digit growth in FFO per share and we continue to see very strong occupancy levels and leasing activity. Our substantial redevelopment and growing development pipelines continue to progress well and we expect them to fuel our FFO growth in the years to come.

 

On July 28, 2005, Federated Department Store, Inc. announced that after their merger with May Department Stores, they plan to sell or dispose of 68 anchor stores where the two companies have duplicate locations. Within the Macerich portfolio, there are ten stores that were included in this announcement. These stores are located in highly productive Macerich malls which currently average approximately $470 per square foot. The recycling of these locations will result in the opportunity to introduce exciting new retailers to these centers and the possibility of accelerating the timing of currently planned expansions and remerchandising at several of the centers”.

 

 

Redevelopment and Development Activity

At Washington Square in suburban Portland, the Company is proceeding with a lifestyle oriented expansion project which consists of the addition of 76,000 square feet of shop space. The expansion is underway with substantial completion earmarked for the fourth quarter of 2005. New tenants include Cheesecake Factory, Pottery Barn Kids, Williams-Sonoma, Godiva and Papyrus. In addition agreement has been reached with Mervyn’s to recapture their 100,000 square foot location and recycle that square footage over the next two years.

 

At Fresno Fashion Fair, an 87,000 square foot lifestyle center expansion to the existing mall continues on schedule. The ground breaking took place in March 2005 with completion expected in the spring of 2006. Illustrative new tenants in the expansion include Cheesecake Factory, Sephora, Anthropologie, Bebe Sport, Lucky Brand Jeans and Fleming’s Steakhouse.

 

The recycling of the former Crossroads Mall, now named Twenty Ninth Street in Boulder, Colorado continues. The vast majority of the former mall has been demolished and construction has commenced on the 877,000 square foot open-air retail and entertainment center. The planned completion is in the fall of 2006.

The 364,000 square foot expansion of the recently acquired Tysons Corner Center is scheduled to open on September 29, 2005. The expansion is currently 97% leased. Included in the expansion is a 105,000 square foot, state of the art, 16-screen AMC theatre complex, five exclusive restaurants including Coastal Flats, Brio Tuscan Grille, Pauli Moto’s Asian Bistro, Gordon Biersch, and T.G.I. Friday’s. In addition the expansion features a two-level, 33,700 square foot Barnes & Noble and a 10-unit 800 seat food court. Notable tenants include Z Gallerie, West Elm, H by Tommy Hilfiger, Banana Republic Petites, Esprit, Sony Style, The North Face, Urban Outfitters, Guess, Mexx, Lucky Brand Jeans, Free People and Oakley. Also at Tysons Corner Center the entitlement process is underway to further expand our project with the addition of approximately 3 million square feet of office, residential and mixed use high-rise development.

 

Construction will begin soon 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 1,200,000 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, residential and restaurants. Robinson’s-May had previously committed to this center and management anticipates that after the Federated/May Company merger that Macy’s will replace Robinson’s-May in this project. The project is scheduled to open in phases with completion by fall 2007.

 

Plans for Estrella Falls, a major regional shopping center and mixed use project, have been accelerated. The project is located on approximately 300 acres in Goodyear, Arizona. The Company will develop the regional mall, which will consist of approximately 1.2 million square feet, and will co-develop associated commercial uses surrounding the shopping center. The first phase of this project is anticipated to open in 2007 with completion of the mall in 2008.

 

Acquisitions

 

On April 25, 2005 the Company completed its $2.333 billion acquisition of Wilmorite Properties, Inc. and Wilmorite Holdings L.P. (“Wilmorite”). Wilmorite’s portfolio includes interests in 11 regional malls and two open-air community centers, with 13.4 million square feet of space located in Connecticut, New York, New Jersey, Kentucky and Virginia. Approximately 5 million square feet of gross leaseable area is located at three premier regional malls: Tysons Corner Center in McLean, Virginia, Freehold Raceway Mall in Freehold, New Jersey and Danbury Fair Mall in Danbury, Connecticut. The average tenant sales-per-square foot for these three centers is in excess of $539. The total portfolio average of mall store annual sales per square foot is $392. The addition of Tysons Corner Center, Freehold Raceway Mall and Danbury Fair Mall combined with the recently expanded Queens Center gives Macerich four premier super-regional malls in the East with combined total annual retail sales in excess of $2 billion.

Financing Activity

 

Concurrent with the Wilmorite closing, the Company repriced its $250 million unsecured term loan. The interest rate on the loan was reduced from LIBOR plus 2.50% to LIBOR plus 1.50%.

 

The Company has refinanced the mortgage on Lakewood Mall. The former mortgage of $127 million with interest at 7.1% was replaced with a $250 million 10-year fixed rate loan bearing interest at 5.41%.

 

Earnings Guidance

 

Management is reaffirming its previously issued guidance for 2005 FFO per share and revising its EPS guidance as follows:

 

Guidance for 2005 and reconciliation of EPS to FFO per share and to EBITDA per share:

 

 

Range per share:

Fully Diluted EPS

$ .89.......$ .99

 

Plus: Real Estate Depreciation and Amortization

$3.49..... $3.49

 

Less: other items including gain on asset sales

($.08).......($.08)

 

Fully Diluted FFO per share

$ 4.30......$4.40

 

 

Plus: Interest Expense per share

$4.43 .... $4.43

 

Plus: effect of preferred stock dividends

$ .33... .$ .33

Plus: Non real estate depreciation, income taxes

 

and ground rent expense per share

$ .23...... $ .23

EBITDA

per share

$9.29.... $9.39

 

Less: management company expenses, REIT

 

General and administrative expenses and

 

 

EBITDA of non-comparable centers

($2.87)... ($2.87)

Same center EBITDA per share

$ 6.42......$6.52

 

 

 

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

 

Management expects 2005 same center EBITDA to grow at a 2.5% to 3.0% rate compared to 2004 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 has assumed short-term LIBOR interest rates will increase to 3.75% by year-end 2005.

 

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 property acquisitions or dispositions other than those that have closed or are under contract as of August 4, 2005. The Company is not able to assess at this time the potential impact of such exclusions on future EPS and FFO. FFO does not include gains or losses on sales of depreciated operating assets.

 

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 81% 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 76 regional malls. Additional information about The Macerich Company can be obtained from the Company’s web site at www.macerich.com.

Stockholders are cautioned that any such forward-looking statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause actual results, performance or achievements of the Company to vary materially from those anticipated, expected or projected.

THE MACERICH COMPANY

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

 

 

 

 

 

 

(a) On February 25, 1998, the Company sold $100,000 of convertible preferred stock and on June 16, 1998 another

 

 

$150,000 of convertible preferred stock was issued. 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 2004 and

 

2005 as it would be antidilutive to those calculations.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

On September 9, 2003, 5.487 million shares of Series B convertible preferred stock were converted into common shares.

 

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 peripheral land and the impact of SFAS 141 have been included

 

in FFO. The inclusion of gains on sales of peripheral land increased FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 by

 

$0.3 million, $1.6 million, $1.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively, or by $.00 per share, $.02 per share, $.01 per share and $.03 per share,

 

respectively. Additionally, SFAS 141 increased FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 by $3.7 million, $6.0 million,

 

$1.9 million and $3.8 million, respectively or by $.05 per share, $.08 per share, $.02 per share and $.05 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. Certain reclassifications have been made in the 2004 financial highlights to conform to

 

the 2005 financial highlights presentation.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(d) The Macerich Partnership, LP has operating partnership units ("OP units"). Each OP unit can be converted into a share

 

of Company stock. Conversion of the OP units has been assumed for purposes of calculating the FFO per

 

share and the weighted average number of shares outstanding.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

(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 December 17, 2004, the Company sold Westbar and the results for the three and six months

 

ended June 30, 2004 have been reclassified to discontinued operations. The sale of Westbar resulted in a gain on sale of $6.8 million.

 

On January 5, 2005, the Company sold Arizona Lifestyle Galleries and the results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2004 have

 

been reclassified to discontinued operations. The sale of this property resulted in a gain on sale of $0.3 million.

 

 

 

Additionally, the results of Crossroads Mall in Oklahoma for the three and six months ended June 30, 2005 and 2004 have been reclassified

 

to discontinued operations as the Company has identified this asset for disposition.

(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.
