Douglas Emmett, Inc. Announces Its Predecessor’s
Third Quarter 2006 Earnings Results
SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA — DECEMBER 5, 2006 — Douglas Emmett, Inc. (NYSE:DEI) (the “Company”), a Los Angeles-based real estate investment trust, today announced the financial results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2006 for those entities that constituted the predecessor of Douglas Emmett, Inc. for accounting purposes prior to the completion of the Company’s initial public offering (“IPO”) on October 30, 2006 as well as recent corporate highlights of the Company. The Company’s accounting predecessor did not include certain entities (which were also acquired by the Company in connection with the IPO) that provided management, leasing and construction services and that owned four office properties, three multifamily properties and the fee interest in one parcel of land.
Recent Corporate Highlights
· Completed the IPO on October 30, 2006, raising approximately $1.52 billion in net proceeds, including exercise of the over-allotment option.
· Consolidated a property portfolio located in Los Angeles County, California and Honolulu, Hawaii consisting of 46 office properties with approximately 11.6 million rentable square feet and nine multifamily properties with a total of 2,868 units.
· Consummated a new three-year $250 million senior secured revolving credit facility with provisions that permit an increase to up to $500 million.
· Increased the Company’s existing $1.75 billion term loan facilities by an additional $545 million to $2.3 billion.
· Used the proceeds from the IPO, the financing, certain cash contributions and existing cash on hand to redeem approximately $335 million of existing debt and preferred equity interests and approximately $1.9 billion of prior investors’ interests.
· Executed $545 million of interest rate swap contracts to fix the variable interest rate on the additional borrowings under our term loan facilities.
· Leased a total of just under 500,000 square feet of space in the third quarter, signing 130 new and renewal deals.
· Overall office portfolio leased percentage was 93.7% as of September 30, 2006.
Third Quarter Results
For the quarter ended September 30, 2006, the Company’s accounting predecessor reported a net loss of $25.7 after deductions of $54.0 million for the decline in value of in place interest rate swaps and $31.6 million of depreciation and amortization. The Company entered into interest rate swap agreements at the time of the IPO so that fluctuations in the value of the Company’s interest rate swaps will not impact its financial results in the future. In addition, as noted above, these historical financial results of the Company’s accounting predecessor do not include the financial performance of those entities that have been consolidated under the ownership of the Company, but which were not included in the Company’s predecessor under applicable accounting rules or the impact of purchase accounting adjustments resulting from the acquisitions. For these and other reasons, these results are not directly comparable to the results expected for periods following the IPO.
