CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. (February 7, 2008) – CBL & Associates Properties, Inc. (NYSE:CBL) announced results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2007. A description of each non-GAAP financial measure and the related reconciliation to the comparable GAAP measure is located at the end of this news release.
Net income available to common shareholders for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, was $13,418,000 or $0.20 per diluted share compared with $31,055,000 or $0.47 per diluted share for the prior-year period.

Net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2007, declined by $27,561,000 primarily due to an $18,456,000 non-cash write-down of marketable securities resulting from a significant decline in their market value during the fourth quarter 2007 (“write-down”), an increase in the non-cash income tax provision, higher interest expense and the write-off of direct issuance costs related to the redemption of the Company’s 8.75% Series B Perpetual Preferred Stock on June 28, 2007.
Funds from Operations (“FFO”) per share on a diluted, fully converted basis was $0.83 for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007.

| § | Same-center net operating income (“NOI”), excluding lease termination fees for the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, increased by 0.9% over the prior-year period. NOI, excluding lease termination fees for the year ended December 31, 2007, increased by 1.7% over the prior year. |
| § | Same-store sales growth for mall tenants of 10,000 square feet or less for stabilized malls for the year ended December 31, 2007, was flat at $346 per square foot compared with a 3.3% increase for the prior year. |
| § | The debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio as of December 31, 2007, was 64.0% based on the common stock closing price of $23.91 and a fully converted common stock share count of 116,814,000 shares as of the same date. The debt-to-total-market capitalization ratio as of December 31, 2006, was 47.6% based on the common stock closing price of $43.35 and a fully converted common stock share count of 116,280,000 shares as of the same date. |

CBL's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Charles B. Lebovitz, said, “Our focus throughout 2007 was to drive same center NOI growth, establish leasing momentum and selectively expand the portfolio through strategic acquisitions and new developments. The execution of this strategy in 2007 reflected improvement in new and renewal leasing spreads while raising the total square footage of leases signed for the year to 6.6 million square feet – the most ever in our 30-year history. Same center NOI, excluding lease termination fees, was up 1.7% for the year in a challenging retail environment.
"We also exceeded a previous record for acquisitions with a total of $1.6 billion closed in the year, which included securing an institutional joint venture partner. These transactions add to a growth platform that today includes 15 development projects under construction totaling 4.1 million square feet and a portfolio of 84 dominant regional malls and open-air centers. We are cautiously optimistic we will be able to leverage this program in 2008 by continuing to emphasize high levels of development pre-leasing, enhance our conservative balance sheet and maintain the healthy leasing momentum into 2008 in our existing portfolio."

NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
Funds From Operations
FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies that supplements net income determined in accordance with GAAP. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP) excluding gains or losses on sales of operating properties, plus depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and minority interests. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures and minority interests are calculated on the same basis. The Company defines FFO allocable to common shareholders as defined above by NAREIT less dividends on preferred stock. The Company’s method of calculating FFO allocable to common shareholders may be different from methods used by other REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs.
The Company believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the operating performance of its properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assumes the value of real estate assets declines predictably over time. Since values of well-maintained real estate assets have historically risen with market conditions, the Company believes that FFO enhances investors’ understanding of its operating performance. The use of FFO as an indicator of financial performance is influenced not only by the operations of the Company’s properties and interest rates, but also by its capital structure.
The Company presents both FFO of its operating partnership and FFO allocable to common shareholders, as it believes that both are useful performance measures. The Company believes FFO of its operating partnership is a useful performance measure since it conducts substantially all of its business through its operating partnership and,

therefore, it reflects the performance of the properties in absolute terms regardless of the ratio of ownership interests of the Company’s common shareholders and the minority interest in the operating partnership. The Company believes FFO allocable to common shareholders is a useful performance measure because it is the performance measure that is most directly comparable to net income available to common shareholders.
In the reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO allocable to common shareholders, the Company makes an adjustment to add back minority interest in earnings of its operating partnership in order to arrive at FFO of its operating partnership. The Company then applies a percentage to FFO of its operating partnership to arrive at FFO allocable to common shareholders. The percentage is computed by taking the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period and dividing it by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares and the weighted average number of operating partnership units outstanding during the period.
FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income for purposes of evaluating the Company’s operating performance or to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
Same-Center Net Operating Income
Net operating income ("NOI") is a supplemental measure of the operating performance of the Company's shopping centers. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues (rental revenues, tenant reimbursements and other income) less property operating expenses (property operating, real estate taxes and maintenance and repairs).
Similar to FFO, the Company computes NOI based on its pro rata share of both consolidated and unconsolidated properties. The Company's definition of NOI may be different than that used by other companies and, accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to that of other companies. A reconciliation of same-center NOI to net income is located at the end of this earnings release.
Since NOI includes only those revenues and expenses related to the operations of its shopping center properties, the Company believes that same-center NOI provides a measure that reflects trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs and the impact of those trends on the Company's results of operations. Additionally, there are instances when tenants terminate their leases prior to the scheduled expiration date and pay the Company one-time, lump-sum termination fees. These one-time lease termination fees may distort same-center NOI trends and may result in same-center NOI that is not indicative of the ongoing operations of the Company's shopping center properties. Therefore, the Company believes that presenting same-center NOI, excluding lease termination fees, is useful to investors.
Pro Rata Share of Debt
The Company presents debt based on its pro rata ownership share (including the Company's pro rata share of unconsolidated affiliates and excluding minority investors' share of consolidated properties) because it believes this provides investors a clearer understanding of the Company's total debt obligations which affect the Company's liquidity. A reconciliation of the Company's pro rata share of debt to the amount of debt on the Company's consolidated balance sheet is located at the end of this earnings release.
