Significant Progress on Asset Repositioning Strategy
Operating Metrics Remain Stable
2011 Earnings Guidance Reaffirmed
(INDIANAPOLIS, April 27, 2011) – Duke Realty Corporation (NYSE: DRE), a leading industrial, medical office and suburban office property REIT, today reported results for the first quarter 2011.
“During the first quarter, we continued to make significant progress on the repositioning of our portfolio as evidenced by property disposition proceeds of over $456 million from the sale of primarily Midwest office assets,” said Dennis D. Oklak, chairman and chief executive officer. “These dispositions in combination with our industrial acquisitions over the last few quarters are a major step in achieving our asset strategy. Operationally, our Core FFO of $0.28 cents per share was again solid, our total portfolio occupancy remained steady at 88.9 percent and we completed over 5 million square feet of leases. We continue to execute on all components of our strategic plan, despite a still challenging economy.”
Quarterly Highlights
| | • | | Core funds from operations per diluted share (“Core FFO”) was $0.28 for the quarter. Funds from Operations per diluted share (“FFO”) as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) was $0.27 for the quarter. |

| | • | | Executing on asset and capital strategies: |
| | • | | Over $456 million of proceeds generated primarily from Midwest office asset dispositions, including $274 million from the completion of the previously announced sale of office properties to the CBRE Realty Trust joint venture; |
| | • | | Throughout the first quarter and in April, closed on the remaining buildings from the previously announced acquisition of primarily industrial buildings in South Florida; |
| | • | | Retired $42.5 million of unsecured bonds in March with available cash; |
| | • | | Balance on unsecured line of credit at zero and cash on hand of $167.1 million as of March 31, 2011; |
| | • | | Strong operating metrics and performance: |
| | • | | Overall portfolio occupancy of 88.9 percent; |
| | • | | Over 5.3 million square feet of leases completed during the quarter; |
| | • | | Same property net operating income growth was positive 0.9 percent for the twelve months ended March 31, 2011 as compared to the period ended March 31, 2010. |
Financial Performance
| | • | | Core FFO for the first quarter of both 2011 and 2010 was $0.28 per share. In June 2010, the company completed a common equity offering in conjunction with the acquisition of an industrial portfolio from a joint venture partner. The impact on Core FFO from the additional shares outstanding in the first quarter of 2011 as a result of this common equity offering was offset by the additional rental operations FFO from the acquisition. |
A reconciliation of FFO as defined by NAREIT to Core FFO is included in the financial tables included in this release.
| | • | | Net income per diluted share (“EPS”) for first quarter 2011 was $0.19, as compared to a loss of $0.07 for the same quarter in 2010. The overall improvement is attributable to increased gains from the sale of assets, which totaled $79.5 million ($0.31 per share) in the first quarter of 2011 as compared to gains of $11.8 million ($0.05 per share) in the first quarter of 2010. |

Operating Performance Highlights
| | • | | Overall portfolio occupancy, including projects under development, was 88.9 percent as of March 31, 2011 compared to 89.1 percent at year-end 2010. The company anticipated the slight decrease in overall occupancy because of known lease terminations, which were concentrated in the bulk distribution portfolio. |
| | • | | Occupancy in the bulk distribution portfolio at the end of the first quarter 2011 was 90.2 percent, down from 90.5 percent at year-end 2010. The portfolio was impacted by known terminations of both temporary space and longer term leases. However, the company did execute over 1.2 million of new industrial leases during the quarter to mitigate the effects of these terminations. |
| | • | | Occupancy in the suburban office portfolio remained steady at 85.6 percent. |
| | • | | Tenant retention for the first quarter was approximately 70 percent. |
| | • | | As anticipated, same-property net operating income for the three months ended March 31, 2011 was flat over the same period in 2010. For the twelve months ended March 31, 2011, same-property net operating income increased by 0.9 percent over the same period in 2010. |

Information Regarding FFO
The company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest and excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable property and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)); plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. The company believes FFO to be most directly comparable to net income as defined by GAAP. The company believes that FFO is an operating measure and should be examined in conjunction with net income (as defined by GAAP) as presented in the financial statements accompanying this release. FFO does not represent a measure of liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for the company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. A reconciliation of net income and net income per share, as defined by GAAP, to FFO, as defined by NAREIT, is included in the financial tables accompanying this release.
For information purposes, the company also provides FFO adjusted for certain items that are generally non-cash in nature and that materially distort the comparative measurement of company performance over time (“Core FFO”). The adjustments include impairment charges, tax expenses or benefits related to either changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances or changes in tax exposure accruals that were established as the result of the adoption of new accounting principles, gains (losses) on debt transactions, adjustments related to the repurchase of preferred stock and gains on and related costs of acquisitions. Although the calculation of Core FFO differs

April 27, 2011
Page 6 of 7
from NAREIT’s definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real estate companies, the company believes it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance. A reconciliation of FFO as defined by NAREIT to Core FFO is included in the financial tables accompanying this release.
