FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
SIMON PROPERTY GROUP ANNOUNCES STRONG FOURTH QUARTER RESULTS
AND DECLARES 8.6% INCREASE IN COMMON STOCK DIVIDEND
Indianapolis, Indiana—February 6, 2006...Simon Property Group, Inc. (the “Company” or “Simon”) (NYSE:SPG) today announced results for the quarter and twelve months ended December 31, 2005:
· Diluted funds from operations (“FFO”) of the Simon portfolio for the quarter increased 9.0% to $433.2 million from $397.6 million in 2004. On a per share basis the increase was 8.1% to $1.47 from $1.36 in the fourth quarter of 2004. Diluted FFO of the Simon portfolio for the twelve months increased 22.5% to $1.468 billion from $1.198 billion in 2004. On a per share basis the increase was 13.0% to $4.96 per share from $4.39 per share in 2004.
· Net income available to common stockholders for the quarter increased 7.7% to $115.7 million from $107.4 million in 2004. On a diluted per share basis the increase was 6.1% to $0.52 from $0.49 in the fourth quarter of 2004. Net income available to common stockholders for the twelve months increased 33.7% to $401.9 million from $300.6 million in 2004. On a diluted per share basis the increase was 26.4% to $1.82 per share from $1.44 per share in 2004.
The Company considers FFO a key measure of its operating performance that is not specifically defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”). The Company believes that FFO is helpful to investors because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”) and provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. A reconciliation of GAAP reported net income to FFO is provided in the financial statement section of this press release.
The Company’s core fundamentals within its three domestic business platforms continue to demonstrate strength as evidenced by reported operating metrics:

Financing Activity
On November 15, 2005, the Company announced the closing of a private offering of $1.1 billion of senior notes by its subsidiary Operating Partnership, Simon Property Group, L.P. The offering consisted of $500 million of 5.375% notes due 2011 and $600 million of 5.750% notes due 2015. The notes were offered in a private placement within the United States to qualified institutional buyers pursuant to Rule 144A and outside the United States in accordance with Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. The Operating Partnership used the proceeds to reduce the outstanding balances of existing credit facilities. The Operating Partnership is required to use its best efforts to make an offer to exchange these notes for registered notes with the same economic terms by the end of April 2006. The Operating Partnership also settled certain forward-hedging instruments concurrently with the pricing of this issue. If the proceeds of the settlement to the Operating Partnership were applied to the notes, the effective yield of the 2011 notes would be reduced to 5.37%, 5.65% for the 2015 notes, and 5.52% on a blended basis over the eight-year weighted average maturity.
62
On December 15, 2005, the Company announced that it had entered into a new unsecured corporate credit facility which increased the Company’s revolving borrowing capacity from $2.0 to $3.0 billion. The facility, which can be increased to $3.5 billion during its term, will mature in January of 2010 and contains a one-year extension at the Company’s option. The base interest rate on the Company’s new facility is LIBOR plus 42.5 basis points, 12.5 basis points lower than the previous credit facility, with the ability to hold auctions and obtain lower pricing for short-term borrowings of up to $1.5 billion. The facility also includes a $750 million multi-currency tranche for Euro, Yen or Sterling borrowings.

Notes:
(A) The Company considers FFO a key measure of its operating performance that is not specifically defined by GAAP and believes that FFO is helpful to investors because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs and provides a relevant basis for comparison among REITs. The Company also uses this measure internally to measure the operating performance of the portfolio. The Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs.
As defined by NAREIT, FFO is consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from the sales of real estate, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP. The Company has adopted NAREIT’s clarification of the definition of FFO that requires it to include the effects of nonrecurring items not classified as extraordinary, cumulative effect of accounting change or resulting from the sale of depreciable real estate. However, you should understand that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.
(B) Includes the Company’s share of gains on land sales of $6.8 million and $21.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $32.1 million and $45.4 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(C) Includes the Company’s share of straight-line adjustments to minimum rent of $7.2 million and $5.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $22.9 million and $10.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(D) Includes the Company’s share of the fair market value of leases from acquisitions of $22.3 million and $12.8 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $63.5 million and $38.3 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(E) Includes the Company’s share of debt premium amortization of $7.3 million and $7.6 million for the three months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively, and $30.0 million and $13.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2005 and 2004, respectively.
(F) Includes dividends and distributions of Series I preferred stock and Series C and Series I preferred units.
(G) Consolidation occurs when the Company acquires an additional ownership interest in a joint venture and has, as a result, gained control of the joint venture. These interests have been separated from operational interests to present comparative results of operations for those joint ventures held as of December 31, 2005. Discontinued joint venture interests represent those partnership interests that have been sold.
(H) Relates to Metrocenter, a regional mall in Phoenix, Arizona sold on January 11, 2005, and Forum Entertainment Centre, a property located in Montreal, Canada sold on December 22, 2005.
(I) Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of the Company’s investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the partnerships and joint ventures acquired. The Company generally amortizes excess investment over the life of the related properties, typically no greater than 35 years, and the amortization is included in income from unconsolidated entities.
