2011 Fourth Quarter and Year-End Earnings Results
Reports FFO of $0.27 Per Diluted Share For the Quarter
and $1.38 Per Diluted Share For the Year
SANTA MONICA, CALIFORNIA – February 7, 2012 – Douglas Emmett, Inc. (NYSE:DEI), a real estate investment trust (REIT), today announced its financial results for the period ended December 31, 2011.
Financial Results
Funds From Operations (FFO) for the three months ended December 31, 2011 totaled $43.9 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, compared to $43.6 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, for the three months ended December 31, 2010. FFO for the year ended December 31, 2011 totaled $221.2 million, or $1.38 per diluted share, compared to $194.4 million, or $1.24 per diluted share, for the year ended December 31, 2010.
For the three months ended December 31, 2011, Douglas Emmett had GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders of $3.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share. This compares to a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders of $5.2 million, or $(0.04) per diluted share for the three months ended December 31, 2010. For 2011 as a whole, Douglas Emmett had GAAP net income attributable to common stockholders of $1.5 million, or $0.01 per diluted share. This compares to a GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders for 2010 of $26.4 million, or $(0.22) per diluted share.
Company Operations
Office: Occupancy in Douglas Emmett’s total office portfolio increased by 40 basis points during the fourth quarter and 60 basis points during 2011. Excluding the eight properties owned by its unconsolidated funds, Douglas Emmett’s office portfolio was 90.0% leased and 88.4% occupied at December 31, 2011. Douglas Emmett’s total office portfolio, including the unconsolidated funds, was 89.3% leased and 87.5% occupied at December 31, 2011. The occupied percentage represents the portion of Douglas Emmett’s office portfolio that is leased where the rent commencement date has occurred.
Douglas Emmett signed office leases covering 906,077 square feet in the fourth quarter of 2011, compared to leases covering 640,721 square feet in the third quarter of 2011.
Multifamily: At December 31, 2011, Douglas Emmett’s multifamily portfolio was 99.6% leased.
Fund Interest Acquisition
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, Douglas Emmett entered into an agreement to purchase a 16.3% interest in one of its institutional funds for approximately $33.4 million from a European investor that is rebalancing its portfolio. The fund involved owns six Class A office buildings, aggregating approximately 1.4 million square feet, in Douglas Emmett’s submarkets.

Balance Sheet Deleveraging
Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter, Douglas Emmett substantially reduced its overall leverage:
§ | Douglas Emmett concluded its At-the-Market (“ATM”) program by raising an additional $190 million since the end of the third quarter. |
§ | Douglas Emmett obtained a secured, non-recourse $155 million term loan, which bears interest at a fixed rate of 4.00% per annum and matures on February 1, 2019. |
§ | Douglas Emmett used the proceeds from this loan and its ATM, as well as a portion of its cash on hand, to repay the remaining $522.0 million of debt scheduled to mature in 2012. |
As a result of these actions, Douglas Emmett has reduced its outstanding consolidated debt from $3.62 billion on December 31, 2011 to $3.26 billion on February 1, 2012. Consequently, Douglas Emmett lowered its consolidated debt to 47% of its total capitalization as of that date.
In December 2011, Douglas Emmett terminated a $322.5 million interest rate swap that had been scheduled to expire on August 1, 2012. The termination had a one-time $10.1 million cash and non-cash impact on FFO during the fourth quarter of 2011.
Dividends
During the quarter, Douglas Emmett’s Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.13 per common share, or $0.52 per common share on an annualized basis. The dividend was paid on January 13, 2012 to shareholders of record as of December 30, 2011.
Guidance
Douglas Emmett has established its full year 2012 FFO guidance range of $230 million to $240 million compared to 2011 FFO of $221.2 million. As a result of the issuance of equity and deleveraging activities, this equates to $1.33 to $1.39 per diluted share. The assumptions underlying this guidance will be discussed in further detail on Douglas Emmett’s February 8, 2012 conference call.

(1) We calculate funds from operations before non-controlling interest (FFO) in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT). FFO represents net income (loss), computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, real estate depreciation and amortization (other than amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We provide FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, by excluding real estate depreciation and amortization and gains and losses from property dispositions, it can illustrate trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs from year to year. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs, FFO can be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, FFO has limitations as a measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations. Other equity REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to those other REITs’ FFO. Accordingly, FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. FFO should not be used as a supplement to or substitute measure for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. |
(2) We terminated certain interest rate swaps in November 2010 and December 2011 by paying an amount based on the projected payments due under the swap. For FFO purposes, we recognize the full impact of the termination in the quarter in which the swap is terminated. In contrast, under GAAP, we amortize the impact over the remaining life of the swap. With respect to the swap terminated in November 2010, GAAP net income for the fourth quarter and full year of 2010 was reduced by only $3.5 million, while FFO in both periods was reduced by an additional $10.4 million to reflect the full impact of terminating that swap. As that additional $10.4 million of non cash interest expense was amortized for GAAP purposes during the first seven months of 2011, we offset that amortization by an equivalent amount in calculating FFO for each period. As a result, the November 2010 swap termination had a net zero impact on 2011 FFO. Similarly, with respect to the swap terminated in December 2011, GAAP net income for the fourth quarter and full year of 2011 was reduced by only $1.3 million, while FFO in both periods was reduced by an additional $8.8 million to reflect the full impact of terminating those swaps. During the first seven months of 2012, as that additional $8.8 million of non cash interest expense is amortized for GAAP purposes, we will offset that amortization by an equivalent amount in calculating FFO for each period. Accordingly, there will be a net zero impact from the December 2011 swap termination on 2012 FFO. |

(1) | To facilitate comparisons, we calculate comparable amounts for a subset of our owned properties referred to as our “same properties.” Same property amounts are calculated as the amounts attributable to properties which have been owned and operated by us, and reported in our consolidated results, during the entire span of both periods compared. Therefore, any properties acquired after the first day of the earlier comparison period or sold, contributed or otherwise removed from our consolidated financial statements before the last day of the later comparison period are excluded from same properties. We may also exclude from the same property set any property that is undergoing a major repositioning project that would impact the comparability of its results between two periods. |

(1) | Net operating income (NOI) is a non-GAAP measure consisting of the revenue and expense attributable to the real estate properties that we own and operate. Although NOI is considered a non-GAAP measure, we present NOI on a “GAAP basis” by using property revenues and expenses calculated in accordance with GAAP. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to NOI is net income (or loss), adjusted to exclude general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization expense, interest income, interest expense, income from unconsolidated partnerships, income (or loss) attributable to noncontrolling interests, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating properties, net income from discontinued operations and extraordinary items. We also provide NOI calculated on a “cash basis”. Cash basis NOI is also a non-GAAP measure that we calculate by excluding from GAAP basis NOI our straight-line rent adjustments and the amortization of above/below market lease intangible assets and liabilities. We provide NOI (on both a “GAAP “and “cash” basis) as a supplemental performance measure because, by excluding real estate depreciation and amortization expense and gains (or losses) from property dispositions, some investors use it to illustrate trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs from year to year. We also believe that some investors find NOI useful as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, NOI has limitations as a measure of our performance because it excludes depreciation and amortization expense and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties (all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations). Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI in a similar manner and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to those other REITs’ NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. NOI should not be used as a substitute measure for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. |
