WEINGARTEN REALTY ANNOUNCES
SECOND QUARTER 2011 RESULTS
Houston, August 2, 2011 — Weingarten Realty (NYSE: WRI) announced today the results of its operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2011. The supplemental financial package with additional information can be found on the Company’s website under the Investor Relations tab.
Second Quarter Operating and Financial Highlights
| | • | | Recurring Funds from Operations (“FFO”) for the quarter increased 4.8% on a per share basis from a year ago to $0.44 per diluted share. Reported FFO was $0.30 per diluted share for the quarter; |
| | • | | Retail Same Property Net Operating Income (“NOI”) increased for the fifth consecutive quarter by 0.2%; |
| | • | | Occupancy for retail spaces less than 10,000 square feet (referred to as “small shop space”) increased 1.2% to 86.3% from 85.1% which helped boost retail occupancy to 92.4% for the second quarter; and |
| | • | | Industrial occupancy also increased 1.0% to 88.0% from 87.0% improving the Company’s total occupancy to 91.2% up from 90.8% for the same period in 2010. |
Financial Results
The Company reported a net loss attributable to common shareholders of $7.2 million or $0.06 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2011, as compared to net loss of $5.6 million or $0.05 per diluted share for the same period in 2010. This quarter’s net loss was due to a non-cash impairment charge of $0.18 per share which included the $0.15 per share from the remarketing of tax increment financing bonds related to our Sheridan, CO development project that was discussed on the first quarter conference call.
Recurring FFO for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 was $0.44 per diluted share or $52.5 million. For the same quarter last year, Recurring FFO was $0.42 per diluted share or $50.6 million. The increase in Recurring FFO from the prior year was primarily due to increases in NOI from acquisitions and new development completions. Reported FFO was $36.4 million or $0.30 per diluted share for the second quarter of 2011 compared to $34.5 million or $0.29 per diluted share for 2010.

In addition to the Sheridan impairment previously discussed, the Company recorded an additional $0.03 per share of non-cash impairment related to dispositions in Rockwall, TX, Kansas City, KS, and a tract of land under contract for sale in North Carolina. The total impairment charge for the second quarter was $0.18 per diluted share.
A reconciliation between net income attributable to common shareholders to Reported FFO and Recurring FFO is listed on page 5 of the supplemental package.
Operating Results
Same Property Net Operating Income (“SPNOI”) for retail properties was 0.2% for the quarter. This is the fifth consecutive quarter of positive SPNOI growth. Industrial SPNOI was down 5.0%, resulting in the Company’s total SPNOI decreasing 0.4% for the second quarter.
The Company produced strong leasing results during the second quarter in its retail and industrial portfolios with 481 new leases and renewals, totaling 1.6 million square feet. The 481 transactions were comprised of 212 new leases and 269 renewals, which represent annualized revenues of $9.1 million and $11.0 million, respectively.
“We’re very pleased our shop space occupancy improved from 85.1% to 86.3%, quarter over quarter. Record shop leasing production and significantly reduced shop fallout contributed to the gain,” said Johnny Hendrix, Executive Vice President and Chief Operating Officer.
Acquisitions
During the second quarter, the Company purchased Cherry Creek Retail Center located in Glendale, CO, a suburb of Denver. This 79,000 square foot project has a population density of 191,000 within a three mile radius of the center and is currently 100% leased.
Also during the quarter, the Company acquired its partner’s 50% interest in Palm Coast Landing, a property Weingarten developed in Palm Coast, FL. The 167,000 square foot center is anchored by Super Target, TJ Maxx, Ross Dress for Less, Michael’s and PetSmart and is currently 99.3% leased.
As a result of this acquisition, the Company recorded a $4.6 million gain which essentially represents the realization of the preferred return on equity in the development which the Company was required to recognize upon consolidation of this entity.
The acquisitions completed year-to-date represents a pro rata investment of $68.5 million.
“Weingarten has acquired some high quality, high barrier to entry retail properties in 2011, even with a very challenging market. We continue to focus on acquisitions that will enhance the overall quality of our portfolio requiring patience in our approach to
2
ensure we create shareholder value in the process,” said Drew Alexander, President and Chief Executive Officer.
Dispositions
The Company closed on the sale of two retail properties and four outparcels which totaled $42.1 million dollars on a pro rata basis during the second quarter of 2011. The sales of the two retail properties commenced the disposition of the Secondary portfolio outlined at the Company’s Analyst Day in New York on April 14, 2011.
In addition, the sale of Shawnee Village in Kansas City, KS marks Weingarten’s exit from this non-core market.

The Board of Trust Managers declared a common dividend of $0.275 per share during the second quarter of 2011. The dividend is payable in cash on September 15, 2011 to shareholders of record on September 2, 2011.
