     CBL's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Charles B. Lebovitz, said, "The
continued  strong pace of  year-over-year  growth in funds from  operations  and
same-center  NOI reflects the number of new, viable  opportunities  we have been
able to source in today's marketplace and the additional growth opportunities we
continue to generate  within our existing  portfolio.  With  approximately  $1.1
billion in  acquisitions  and operating  joint  ventures  announced  to-date and
anticipated to close in 2005, we are well on our way to completing  another year
of impressive acquisitions. We have also been able to reward our shareholders in
the form of today's  common stock dividend  increase and the recently  announced
one-time special dividend.

     "With every new investment, we assess the long-term growth potential of the
property  as well as the  near-term  impact.  In doing  so, we have been able to
consistently  produce  higher  overall  returns  from our  acquisitions  through
redevelopment and expansions, specialty leasing programs, and aggressive leasing
and marketing programs. The level of acquisition and development activity so far
this year provides a solid base on which to add significant  value through these
strategies.

     "In  addition  to the  growth  from our  investment  activities,  we remain
confident  in the strength of the retail  environment  in our markets and at our
malls and open-air centers. Retailers continue to execute active expansion plans
nationwide  and introduce  new concepts.  Retailer  demand has  translated  into
strong leasing  activity at our properties  and  opportunities  to retenant with
more productive  retailers which should result in higher  releasing and rollover
spreads. With several renovations and redevelopments  underway in our portfolio,
we expect  this  favorable  environment  to provide  opportunity  for  continued
growth."

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 generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The National Association of Real Estate
Investment  Trusts 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.  The Company believes that FFO provides an additional  indicator
of the operating  performance of the Company's  properties without giving effect
to real estate  depreciation and  amortization,  which assumes the value of real
estate assets decline  predictably  over time.  Since values of  well-maintained
real estate assets have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the
Company  believes that FFO enhances  investors'  understanding  of the Company's
operating performance.

     FFO does not represent  cash flow 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
continuing  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.

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.
