MACERICH ANNOUNCES A 46% INCREASE IN AFFO PER SHARE

        Santa Monica, CA (5/02/12)—The Macerich Company (NYSE Symbol: MAC) today announced results of operations for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 which included funds from operations ("FFO") diluted of $106.2 million compared to $73.7 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") was $109.2 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to $74.5 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 and AFFO per share-diluted was $.76 for the quarter ended March 31, 2012 compared to $.52 for the quarter ended March 31, 2011. Net loss available to common stockholders was $14.1 million compared to net income available to common stockholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2011 of $.034 million. A description and reconciliation of FFO per share-diluted and AFFO per share-diluted to EPS-diluted is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Recent Highlights:

        Commenting on the quarter, Arthur Coppola chairman and chief executive officer of Macerich stated, "As expected, we had another quarter of double-digit growth in AFFO per share. We are pleased to see our portfolio fundamentals continue to improve with solid tenant sales growth, positive releasing spreads and strong same center net operating income growth."

Balance Sheet Activity:

        During the quarter, the Company arranged a $140 million construction loan on Fashion Outlets of Chicago. The loan has an interest rate that floats at LIBOR plus 2.50% and has a five year maturity, including extensions.

        The Company has committed to a $220 million refinancing of The Oaks. The new loan has a fixed interest rate of 4.11% and has a 10 year term. The loan is expected to close in May, 2012.

        On April 23, 2012, the title to Valley View Center was transferred to a buyer. The $125 million non-recourse loan that was secured by Valley View Center was fully forgiven concurrent with the sale transaction. During the quarter ended March 31, 2012, the Company recorded an impairment loss of


$54.3 million on Valley View. As a result of the forgiveness of debt on Valley View, in April 2012 the Company recorded a gain on extinguishment of debt of approximately $104 million.

Dispositions:

        During the quarter, the Company disposed of its interests in three non-core assets: Chandler Festival, Chandler Village Center and San Tan Village Power Center. The Company's pro rata share of the sales proceeds was approximately $65 million.

2012 Earnings Guidance:

        Management is maintaining its previously issued 2012 AFFO per share-diluted guidance range of $3.06 to $3.14.

        A reconciliation of EPS to FFO per share and AFFO per share-diluted follows:

Estimated EPS range:

  $1.93 - $2.01

Less: Gain on asset sales

  -.98 - -.98

Plus: Impairment on real estate

  .39 - .39

Plus: Real estate depreciation and amortization

  $2.43 - $2.43
     

Estimated range for FFO per share-diluted

  $3.77 to $3.85

Less: Net positive FFO impact of Valley View

  -.71 - -.71
     

Estimated AFFO per share-diluted:

  $3.06 to $3.14

THE MACERICH COMPANY
FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS
(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

(a)
The Company has classified the results of operations on any dispositions, including Valley View Center, as discontinued operations for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011.

(b)
This represents the outside partners' allocation of net income in the Chandler Fashion Center/Freehold Raceway Mall joint venture.

(c)
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 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.

(d)
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, impairment write-downs of real estate and write-downs of investments in an affiliate where the write-downs have been driven by a decrease in the value of real estate held by the affiliate and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis.

Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") excludes the FFO impact of Shoppingtown Mall and Valley View Center for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011. In December 2011, the Company conveyed Shoppingtown Mall to the lender by a deed in lieu of foreclosure. In July 2010, a court-appointed receiver assumed operational control of Valley View Center and responsibility for managing all aspects of the property. Valley View Center was sold by the receiver on April 23, 2012, and the related non-recourse mortgage loan obligation was fully extinguished on that date.

FFO and FFO on a 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. The Company believes that AFFO and AFFO on a diluted basis provide useful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance as they show a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company's operating performance and allow investors to more easily compare the Company's results without taking into account the unrelated non-cash charges on properties controlled by either a receiver or loan servicer. FFO and AFFO on a diluted basis are measures investors find most useful in measuring the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP, and are not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. The Company also cautions that FFO and AFFO as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts.

  $ 161,653   $ 156,283  
           

(e)
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, noncontrolling interests, extraordinary items, gain (loss) on remeasurement, sale or write down 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.

(f)
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 lease termination income, straight-line and above/below market adjustments to minimum rents.

The Macerich Company

Supplemental Financial and Operating Information

Overview

        The Macerich Company (the "Company") is involved in the acquisition, ownership, development, redevelopment, management and leasing of regional and community shopping centers located throughout the United States. The Company is the sole general partner of, and owns a majority of the ownership interests in, The Macerich Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership").

        As of March 31, 2012, the Operating Partnership owned or had an ownership interest in 65 regional shopping centers and 11 community shopping centers aggregating approximately 65 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). These 76 centers are referred to hereinafter as the "Centers", unless the context requires otherwise.

        On December 31, 2011, the Company and its joint venture partner reached an agreement for the distribution and conveyance of interests in SDG Macerich Properties, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("SDG Macerich") that owned 11 regional malls in a 50/50 partnership. Six of the eleven assets were distributed to the Company on December 31, 2011. Macerich received 100% ownership of Eastland Mall in Evansville, Indiana, Lake Square Mall in Leesburg, Florida, NorthPark Mall in Davenport, Iowa, SouthPark Mall in Moline, Illinois, Southridge Mall in Des Moines, Iowa, and Valley Mall in Harrisonburg, Virginia (collectively referred to herein as the "SDG Acquisition Properties").

        As of December 1, 2011, the Prescott Gateway non-recourse loan was in maturity default. The Company is negotiating with the loan servicer. The outcome is uncertain at this time.

        On July 15, 2010, a court-appointed receiver assumed operational control of Valley View Center and responsibility for managing all aspects of the property. Valley View Center was sold by the receiver on April 23, 2012, and the related non-recourse mortgage loan obligation was fully extinguished on that date. Consequently, Valley View Center has been excluded from the Debt Summary and Outstanding Debt by Maturity Date as of March 31, 2012. Furthermore, Valley View Center has been excluded from certain Non-GAAP operating measures in 2010, 2011 and 2012 as indicated in this document.

        The Company is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") and conducts all of its operations through the Operating Partnership and the Company's management companies (collectively, the "Management Companies").

        All references to the Company in this Exhibit include the Company, those entities owned or controlled by the Company and predecessors of the Company, unless the context indicates otherwise.
