DDR REPORTS OPERATING FFO PER DILUTED SHARE OF $0.28

FOR THE QUARTER ENDED MARCH 31, 2014

BEACHWOOD, OHIO, May 6, 2014 – DDR Corp. (NYSE: DDR) today announced operating results for the first quarter ended March 31, 2014.

Significant First Quarter Activity:

• Generated Operating FFO of $0.28 per diluted share, 3.7% greater than the first quarter of 2013

• Executed 378 new leases and renewals for 3.1 million square feet, the highest square footage volume in 19 quarters

• Increased the U.S. portfolio leased rate by 10 basis points to 95.1% at March 31, 2014, from 95.0% at December 31, 2013 and by 90 basis points from 94.2% at March 31, 2013

• Generated positive new leasing spreads of 15.1% at 100% ownership and 20.4% on a pro rata basis, and positive renewal leasing spreads of 6.7% at 100% ownership and 7.6% on a pro rata basis

• Generated same store net operating income growth of 3.1% at 100% ownership and 3.2% on a pro rata basis compared to the prior year

• Sold $198 million of non-prime assets; DDR’s pro rata gross proceeds were $142 million

• Announced the sale of 50% ownership interest in Sonae Sierra Brazil BV Sarl for gross proceeds of $344 million and closed subsequent to quarter end

“We are extremely pleased to report consistently strong operating results with momentum accelerating during the first quarter. We are also pleased to close on the sale of our investment in Brazil and encouraged by the prospects of reallocating the capital into high-quality prime power centers in the U.S. The simplification and portfolio quality enhancement strategy continues,” commented DDR’s Chief Executive Officer Daniel B. Hurwitz.

Financial Highlights

• First quarter operating funds from operations attributable to common shareholders (“Operating FFO”) increased to $100.7 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, which compares to $86.1 million, or $0.27 per diluted share, for the prior-year comparable period. The increase in Operating FFO primarily is due to organic growth as well as prime shopping center acquisitions, partially offset by non-prime asset dispositions.

• First quarter net loss attributable to common shareholders was $23.2 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, which compares to net loss of $0.7 million, or $0.00 per diluted share, for the prior-year comparable period. The change in net loss attributable to common shareholders primarily is due to higher impairment charges partially offset by the impact of organic growth and net acquisition activity.

Significant First Quarter Operating Activity

• New leases totaling 0.8 million square feet at spreads of 15.1% at 100% ownership and 20.4% at pro rata share

• Renewal leases totaling 2.3 million square feet at spreads of 6.7% at 100% ownership and 7.6% at pro rata share

• Increase in the total U.S. portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot to $13.44 as of March 31, 2014 as compared to $12.90 at March 31, 2013

Significant First Quarter Transactional Activity

• Sold nine consolidated operating shopping centers totaling 1.3 million square feet and one consolidated non-income producing asset. Gross proceeds were $132.3 million. A net gain of $9.6 million was recorded related to these sales.

• Sold four unconsolidated operating shopping centers totaling 0.4 million square feet for $65.7 million, of which the Company’s pro rata share was $13.1 million. A net gain of $21.5 million was recorded related to these sales, of which the Company’s pro rata share was $5.4 million.

• Announced the sale of its 50% ownership interest in Sonae Sierra Brazil BV Sarl (“SSB BV Sarl”) for $343.6 million which closed on April 28, 2014. DDR’s interest in SSB BV Sarl represents DDR’s entire investment in Brazil.

2014 Guidance

• There has been no change in Operating FFO per share guidance since the last update provided on March 10, 2014. The Company continues to estimate a range of $1.14 to $1.18 for 2014 Operating FFO per diluted share. The major assumptions include:

^¡  same store NOI growth of 2.5% to 3.5% excluding redevelopment activity

^¡  increase in the 2013 year-end leased rate by 75 basis points

^¡  annual common stock dividend of $0.62 per share

Non-GAAP Disclosures

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used as a standard in the real estate industry and a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust (“REIT”) performance. Management believes that FFO and Operating FFO provide additional indicators of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO and Operating FFO more appropriately measure the core operations of the Company and provide benchmarks to its peer group. Neither FFO nor Operating FFO represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), is necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should be considered as an alternative to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company’s operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.

FFO is defined and calculated by the Company as net income, adjusted to exclude: (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains and losses from disposition of depreciable real estate property, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) impairment charges on depreciable real estate property and related investments, (iv)extraordinary items and (v) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income from joint ventures and equity income from non-controlling interests and the Company’s proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling interests, determined on a consistent basis. The Company calculates Operating FFO by excluding the non-operating charges and gains described below. The Company computes FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO and Operating FFO in a different manner. Operating FFO is useful to investors as the Company removes these charges and gains to analyze the results of its operations and assess performance of the core operating real estate portfolio. A reconciliation of net income (loss) to FFO and Operating FFO is presented herein.
