BOSTON PROPERTIES, INC. ANNOUNCES
FOURTH QUARTER 2003 RESULTS
Reports diluted FFO per share of $1.05 | Reports diluted EPS of $0.61 |
BOSTON, MA, January 27, 2004 – Boston Properties, Inc. (NYSE: BXP), a real estate investment trust, today reported results for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2003.
Results for the quarter ended December 31, 2003
Funds from Operations (FFO) for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 were $106.9 million, or $1.09 per share basic and $1.05 per share diluted. This compares to FFO for the quarter ended December 31, 2002 of $113.5 million, or $1.19 per share basic and $1.14 per share diluted before the application of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended. The weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding totaled 97,944,897 and 107,187,540, respectively, for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 and 95,313,371 and 105,630,130, respectively, for the same quarter last year.
Diluted FFO for the fourth quarter 2002 included approximately $0.11 per share generated by One and Two Independence Square, The Candler Building, 875 Third Avenue and 2300 N Street properties, which were sold as part of our capital recycling program in connection with the acquisition of 399 Park Avenue in September 2002. Diluted FFO for the fourth quarter of 2003 included approximately $0.05 per share of higher interest costs compared to the fourth quarter of 2002 primarily as a result of the interest on $1.475 billion of floating-rate debt being refinanced during 2003 with longer-term, unsecured fixed-rate debt at an average interest rate of approximately 5.95% and after taking into account the interest expense associated with the sold properties. After eliminating the contribution to FFO from the sold properties and excluding the effects of the refinancing of our floating-rate debt, diluted FFO per share would have increased by 6.8% between the two periods.
Net income available to common shareholders per share (EPS) for the quarter ended December 31, 2003 was $0.62 basic and $0.61 on a diluted basis. This compares to EPS for the fourth quarter of 2002 of $2.73 basic and $2.70 on a diluted basis. EPS for the fourth quarter of 2002 included $2.08, on a diluted basis, related to gains on sales of real estate and discontinued operations. Excluding the impact of these items, diluted EPS was $0.62 for the quarter ended December 31, 2002.
Results for the year ended December 31, 2003
FFO for the year ended December 31, 2003 were $412.1 million, or $4.25 per share basic and $4.09 per share diluted before the application of SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities,” as amended and early surrender lease adjustment. FFO for the year ended 2003 compares to FFO of $399.5 million, or $4.29 per share basic and $4.09 per share diluted for the year ended December 31, 2002. The weighted average number of basic and diluted shares outstanding totaled 96,899,873 and 106,861,317, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2003 and 93,144,747 and 105,799,277, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2002.
EPS for the year ended December 31, 2003 was $3.77 basic and $3.71 on a diluted basis. This includes $1.35 per share, on a diluted basis, related to gains on sales of real estate and discontinued operations. EPS for the year ended December 31, 2002 was $4.73 basic and $4.66 on a diluted basis. This includes $2.44 per share, on a diluted basis, related to gains on sales of real estate and discontinued operations. Excluding the impact of these items, diluted EPS was $2.36 for the year ended December 31, 2003 and $2.22 for the year ended December 31, 2002.
The reported results are unaudited and there can be no assurance that the results will not vary from the final information for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2003. In the opinion of management, all adjustments considered necessary for a fair presentation of these reported results have been made.
As of December 31, 2003, the Company’s portfolio consisted of 140 properties comprising approximately 43.9 million square feet, including three properties under construction totaling 2.0 million square feet. The overall percentage of leased space for the properties in service as of December 31, 2003 was 92.1%.
Significant events of the fourth quarter include:
• On October 8, 2003, the Company acquired 1333 New Hampshire Avenue, a 315,000 square foot Class A office property in Washington, D.C. at a purchase price of approximately $111.6 million. The acquisition was financed with borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and available cash. The property is 100% leased.
• On November 7, 2003, the Company executed a contract for the sale of Sugarland Business Park-Building Two, an office/technical property totaling approximately 59,000 square feet located in Herndon, Virginia for $7.1 million. The sale is subject
to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and, although there can be no assurances that the sale will be consummated on the terms currently contemplated or at all, we have no reason to believe that the closing will not occur as expected by the end of February 2004.
• On December 12, 2003, the Company executed a contract for the sale of Hilltop Office Center, comprised of nine office/technical properties totaling approximately 143,000 square feet located in South San Francisco, California. The Company has a 35.7% interest in these properties. The sale is subject to the satisfaction of customary closing conditions and, although there can be no assurances that the sale will be consummated on the terms currently contemplated or at all, we have no reason to believe that the closing will not occur as expected by the end of February 2004.
• On December 18, 2003, the Company executed a 10-year lease commencing in June 2004 for 141,348 square feet at its 611 Gateway Boulevard property located in South San Francisco, California. The previously unoccupied development property is now approximately 55% leased.
Transactions completed subsequent to December 31, 2003:
• On January 16, 2004, the Company sold 430 Rozzi Place, an industrial property totaling approximately 20,000 square feet located in South San Francisco, California for $2.5 million. The Company had a 35.7% interest in this property.
• On January 23, 2004, the Company refinanced its $493.5 million construction loan secured by the Times Square Tower property in New York City. The loan bore interest at LIBOR + 1.95% per annum and was scheduled to mature in November 2004. At December 31, 2003, the outstanding balance under the loan was $332.9 million. This loan facility totaling $475.0 million is comprised of two tranches. The first tranche consists of a $300.0 million loan commitment which bears interest at LIBOR + 0.90% per annum and matures in January 2006, with a one year extension option. The second tranche consists of a $175.0 million term loan which bears interest at LIBOR + 1.00% per annum and matures in January 2007, unless the maturity date of the first tranche is not extended, in which case it will mature in January 2006.
• On January 26, 2004, the Company executed a contract to acquire 1330 Connecticut Avenue, a 259,000 square foot Class A office property in Washington, D.C. at a purchase price of approximately $86.6 million. In addition, the Company will be obligated to fund an additional $11.0 million for tenant and capital improvements during approximately the first two years of ownership. The acquisition will be financed with the assumption of mortgage indebtedness secured by the property totaling approximately $52.0 million bearing interest at a fixed rate of 7.58% per annum and maturing in 2011 and through borrowings under the Company’s unsecured revolving credit facility and available cash. The acquisition is subject to the satisfactory assignment and assumption of the in-place mortgage indebtedness and customary closing conditions and, although there can be no assurances that the acquisition
will be consummated on the terms currently contemplated or at all, we have no reason to believe that the closing will not occur.

(1) Pursuant to the revised definition of Funds from Operations adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), we calculate Funds from Operations, or “FFO,” by adjusting net income (loss) (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), including non-recurring items), for gains (or losses) from sales of properties, real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
The use of FFO, combined with the required primary GAAP presentations, has been fundamentally beneficial, improving the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and making comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management generally considers FFO to be a useful measure for reviewing the comparative operating and financial performance of the Company because, by excluding gains and losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and excluding real estate asset depreciation and amortization (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar condition based on historical cost accounting and useful life estimates), FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company’s real estate between periods or as compared to different companies.
Our computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. In addition to presenting FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, we also disclose FFO after specific supplemental adjustments, including net derivative losses and early surrender lease adjustment. Although our FFO as adjusted clearly differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO, as well as that of other REITs and real estate companies, we believe it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities determined in accordance with GAAP and is not a measure of liquidity or an indicator of our ability to make cash distributions. We believe that to further understand our performance, FFO and FFO as adjusted should be compared with our reported net income and considered in addition to cash flows in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements.
(2) Represents cash received under contractual obligations.
