For the year ended December 31, 2003, Alexandria reported FFO of $81,360,000, or $4.23 per share (diluted), on total revenues of $160,558,000, compared to FFO of $68,069,000, or $3.81 per share (diluted), on total revenues of $142,271,000 for the year ended December 31, 2002. Comparing 2003 to 2002, total revenues increased 13%, FFO increased 20% and FFO per share (diluted) increased 11%. Net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $50,745,000, or $2.64 per share (diluted), as compared to $31,453,000, or $1.76 per share (diluted), for the year ended December 31, 2002.
FFO is a non-GAAP measure widely used by publicly-traded real estate investment trusts. Alexandria computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). In 2003, NAREIT issued guidance which modifies the calculation of FFO for both past and future periods. In accordance with NAREIT's revised guidance, the Company now includes losses from early extinguishment of debt [$1,002,000, or $0.06 per share (diluted) for 2002] and real estate impairment charges [$1,150,000, $0.06 per share (diluted) for 2002] in its calculation of FFO. As such, the reported amounts of FFO and FFO per share for the fourth quarter of 2002 and for the year ended December 31, 2002 have been modified from those previously reported. A reconciliation of FFO to GAAP net income showing the effects of the modifications based on recent guidance from NAREIT, is included in the financial information accompanying this press release.
The Company announced that it had signed a total of 26 leases during the fourth quarter for approximately 366,000 square feet of space at 19 different properties (excluding 17 month-to-month leases for approximately 65,000 square feet which were effective during the quarter). Of this total, approximately 131,000 square feet were for redeveloped, developed or previously vacant space at 12 properties, approximately 64,000 square feet of which were delivered from the Company's redevelopment or development programs, with the remaining approximately 67,000 square feet for previously vacant space. The remaining approximately 235,000 square feet were for new or renewal leases related to previously leased space. Rental rates for new or renewal leases were on average approximately 7% higher than expiring leases. For the year ended December 31, 2003, the Company signed a total of 66 leases for approximately 785,000 square feet of space at 32 different properties (excluding month-to-month leases). Of this total, approximately 265,000 square feet were for redeveloped, developed or previously vacant space at 21 properties, of which approximately 157,000 square feet were delivered from the Company's redevelopment or development programs. The remaining 520,000 square feet were for new or renewal space with rental rates on average approximately 6% higher than expiring leases.
The Company announced that it acquired an office/laboratory property aggregating approximately 67,000 square feet in the San Francisco Bay market for approximately $11.8 million in cash during November 2003. It also acquired an office/laboratory property in the San Francisco Bay market containing approximately 92,000 square feet of space for approximately $20 million in cash during December 2003. In December 2003, the Company acquired an office/laboratory property containing approximately 57,000 square feet in the San Diego market for approximately $13 million in cash. The properties are each fully leased to a single life science tenant.
The Company announced the closing of the sale in December 2003 of a non-core property containing approximately 171,000 square feet in Suburban Washington D.C. for approximately $9 million and recorded a loss of approximately $36,000 in connection with this transaction.

- GAAP basis accounting for real estate assets utilizes historical cost accounting and assumes real estate values diminish over time. In an effort to overcome the mis-correlation between real estate values and historical cost accounting for real estate assets, the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") established the measurement tool of funds from operations ("FFO"). Since its introduction, FFO has become a widely used non-GAAP financial measure by REITs.We believe that FFO is helpful to investors as an additional measure of the performance of an equity REIT. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of NAREIT in its April 2002 White Paper (the "White Paper") and related implementation guidance, which may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs, and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. The White Paper defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. While FFO is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of REITs, it should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions. We believe that net income is the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to FFO.
- Includes depreciation and amortization on assets held for sale reflected as discontinued operations (for the periods prior to when such assets were designated as held for sale).
- Loss/(gain) on sales of property relates to the disposition of a property in the Suburban Washington D.C. market during the quarter ended December 31, 2003, the disposition of a property in the Eastern Massachusetts market during the quarter ended September 30, 2003 and the disposition of a property in the San Francisco Bay market during the quarter ended March 31, 2003. Loss/(gain) on sales of property is included on the income statement in income (loss) from discontinued operations.
- Pursuant to SFAS 145, "Rescission of FASB Statement No. 4, 44 and 64, Amendment of FASB Statement No. 13, and Technical Corrections", in 2003 we reclassified the 2002 loss on early extinguishment of debt to continuing operations. In 2002, this loss was classified as an extraordinary item as previously required under SFAS 4, "Reporting Gains and Losses from Extinguishment of Debt". FFO for the year ended December 31, 2002 has been adjusted to include this loss. Previously, this loss was excluded from FFO.
- Pursuant to NAREIT's revised implementation guidance issued in October 2003, FFO includes non-cash real estate impairment charges recognized prior to the date of sale. Previously, such impairment write-downs were excluded from FFO.

NOTE: This summary represents operating data for all properties that were owned and fully operating for the entire periods presented (the "Fourth Quarter Same Properties" for the Quarterly periods and "2003 Same Properties" for the full year).
- Revenue less operating expenses computed under GAAP is total revenue associated with the Fourth Quarter Same Properties and the 2003 Same Properties, as applicable, (excluding lease termination fees, if any) less property operating expenses. Under GAAP, rental revenue is recognized on a straight-line basis over the respective lease terms. Revenue less operating expenses on a cash basis is total revenue associated with the Fourth Quarter Same Properties and the 2003 Same Properties, as applicable, (excluding lease termination fees, if any) less property operating expenses, adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent adjustments required by GAAP. Straight-line rent adjustments for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 for the Fourth Quarter Same Properties were $787,000 and $1,193,000, respectively. Straight-line rent adjustments for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 2002 for the 2003 Same Properties were $2,280,000 and $3,161,000, respectively. We believe that revenue less operating expenses on a cash basis is helpful to investors as an additional measure of operating performance because it eliminates non-cash adjustments to rental revenue.
- Fees received from tenants in connection with termination of their leases, if any, are excluded from revenue in the Same Property Comparison.
