FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

TAUBMAN CENTERS ISSUES 2008 RESULTS AND 2009 GUIDANCE

·   Adjusted FFO per Share Up 14.9% in the Quarter; Up 6.9% for Year

·   Impairment Charges at Sarasota and Oyster Bay

·   Solid Growth in Rents for 2008

·   Strong Balance Sheet

BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Mich., Feb. 11, 2009 - - Taubman Centers, Inc. (NYSE:  TCO) today reported financial results for the quarter and full year periods ended December 31, 2008.

Net loss allocable to common shareholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2008 was $1.86 per diluted common share (EPS), versus $0.40 per share of income for the fourth quarter of 2007.  EPS for the year ended December 31, 2008 was a $1.60 loss versus $0.90 of income for the year ended December 31, 2007. The 2008 amounts were significantly impacted by impairment charges for Sarasota and Oyster Bay.

During the fourth quarter, the company recognized a charge of $8.3 million related to its project in Sarasota, Florida that has been put on hold.  Also subsequent to the fourth quarter, the company received an unfavorable court ruling on the Oyster Bay project.  As a result, the company recognized a $116 million impairment charge in the fourth quarter of 2008.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, Funds from Operations (FFO) per diluted share was $(0.55), compared to $0.87 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, FFO per diluted share was $1.54 compared to $2.88 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2007.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2008, Adjusted FFO per diluted share (which excludes the impairment charges) was $1.00, up 14.9 percent from $0.87 per diluted share for the quarter ended December 31, 2007.  For the year ended December 31, 2008, Adjusted FFO per diluted share was $3.08, up 6.9 percent from $2.88 per diluted share for the year ended December 31, 2007.

“Although the retail environment is very challenging, our centers produced good operating income growth in the fourth quarter, even excluding a high level of lease cancellation income in the quarter," said Robert S. Taubman, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Taubman Centers.

Occupancy, Rents and Sales

Ending occupancy for the portfolio was 90.3 percent on December 31, 2008 versus 91.2 percent on December 31, 2007.  This decline is primarily the result of the closing in late 2008 of three big box store locations at the company’s value centers, which were part of national bankruptcies.

Rents per square foot in Taubman’s consolidated portfolio averaged $45.12 for the quarter, an increase of 4.0 percent from the fourth quarter of 2007.  Rents per square foot in Taubman’s consolidated portfolio averaged $44.58 for 2008, an increase of 2.7 percent from the full year 2007.

Mall tenant sales per square foot decreased 13.7 percent for the quarter and 2.9 percent for the year to average $539 per square foot in 2008.  “After 22 consecutive quarters of sales increases, we experienced a dramatic reversal that began in mid September and occurred nearly across the board,” said Mr. Taubman.   “As a result, retailers are being very cautious as they manage their business and capital spending in 2009.”

Strong Balance Sheet

Taubman is financed with property-specific secured debt and has no maturities until fall 2010 when its share of three loans mature.  The company’s share of these loans is $264 million.  The company’s secured credit lines total $590 million and mature in 2011 with a one year extension option to 2012 on $550 million of the lines.   As of December 31, $350 million was available for use.

“Our strong balance sheet, liquidity and great assets provide us the strength to weather this economic storm,” said Lisa A. Payne, Taubman Centers vice chairman and chief financial officer.  “We are also well positioned to take advantage of opportunities that may arise in this tough environment.”

2009 Guidance

The company is introducing guidance for 2009.  For the full year 2009, the company expects FFO per diluted share to be in the range of $2.69 to $2.94.  During the first quarter of 2009, the company expects to record a charge of approximately $2.6 million related to a workforce reduction that occurred in January.  Excluding this charge, 2009 Adjusted FFO per diluted share is expected to be in the range of $2.72 to $2.97.  Both FFO per share and Adjusted FFO per share include $0.03 for ongoing expenditures on the Oyster Bay project and $0.10 of interest expense that will no longer be capitalized.

Net income allocable to common shareholders for the year is expected to be in the range of $0.69 to $1.02 per share.

Taubman Centers/5

(1)	Includes charges of $115.9 million and $8.3 million relating to The Mall at Oyster Bay and University Town Center projects, respectively, for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2008.  No similar charges were incurred in 2007.
(2)	Because the net equity balances of the Operating Partnership and the outside partners in certain consolidated joint ventures are less than zero, the income allocated to the minority and outside partners during the three months and year ended December 31, 2008 and 2007 is equal to their share of distributions. The net equity of these minority partners is less than zero due to accumulated distributions in excess of net income and not as a result of operating losses.
(3)	Beneficial Interest in EBITDA represents the Operating Partnership’s share of the earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of its consolidated and unconsolidated businesses. The Company believes Beneficial Interest in EBITDA provides a useful indicator of operating performance, as it is customary in the real estate and shopping center business to evaluate the performance of properties on a basis unaffected by capital structure.
	The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines Funds from Operations (FFO) as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company and most industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results that exclude historical cost depreciation to be useful in evaluating the operating performance of REITs. FFO is primarily used by the Company in measuring performance and in formulating corporate goals and compensation.
	These non-GAAP measures as presented by the Company are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other REITs due to the fact that not all REITs use common definitions. None of these non-GAAP measures should be considered alternatives to net income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, and they do not represent cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities as defined by GAAP.
(4)	Based on reports of sales furnished by mall tenants.
(5)	Statistics exclude The Mall at Partridge Creek and The Pier Shops at Caesars. The 2007 statistics have been restated to include comparable centers to 2008.

(1)	FFO in 2008 includes, and Adjusted FFO excludes, impairment charges related to the Company's investments in University Town Center and The Mall at Oyster Bay projects. The Company discloses this Adjusted FFO due to the significance and infrequent nature of the charges. Given the significance of the charges, the Company believes it is essential to a reader's understanding of the Company's results of operations to emphasize the impact on the Company's earnings measures. The adjusted measures are not and should not be considered alternatives to net income (loss) or cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities as defined by GAAP.

	(1) During the first quarter of 2009, the Company expects to recognize a restructuring charge of approximately $2.6 million, which represents primarily the cost of involuntary terminations of personnel.
	(2) In 2009, the Company will adopt Statement No. 160 "Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements - an amendment of ARB No. 51" effective January 1, 2009. Consequently, minority interests in consolidated subsidiaries with equity balances of less than zero will be allocated income equal to their ownership interest in the subsidiary, rather than their share of distributions, as required under the accounting effective for 2008 and prior years. See Note 2, Table 1 for current accounting of minority interests. Under the new accounting, participating securities such as deferred option units, which are entitled to dividend equivalents, will continue to be a reduction of net income. As of December 31, 2008, 0.9 million deferred units were outstanding.
