               shares   as  of   the   same   date.   The   debt-to-total-market
               capitalization  ratio as of December 31, 2004, was 42.4% based on

               and unconsolidated debt.

     CBL's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, Charles B. Lebovitz, said, "The
combination  of occupancy  gains,  healthy  rental rate  increases from leasing,
continued growth in mall shop sales, and contributions from new developments and
acquisitions led to an impressive performance in the fourth quarter and a strong
finish  for the year.  The  impressive  results  in 2005 are  indicative  of our
opportunistic   strategy  that  emphasizes   sustainable  long-term  growth  and
financial discipline.  We opened 2.5 million square feet of new developments and
expansions  during the year with initial  unleveraged  returns ranging from 9% -
11%. We also completed more than $1.0 billion of acquisitions, all of which were
immediately accretive to earnings and were consistent with our strict investment
criteria and strategic growth objectives. We deployed our capital efficiently to
finance this growth on attractive terms.

     "Looking ahead, we are excited about the continued strength in our business
and our  focus  on  dominant  regional  malls  in  middle  markets  where we are
well-positioned  to take  advantage  of  continuing  population  and  employment
growth."

 OTHER SIGNIFICANT EVENTS

     In November,  the Richard E. Jacobs Group, Inc. and CBL announced that they
had formed a 50/50 joint venture to own Triangle Town Center and its  associated
and  lifestyle  centers,  Triangle  Town Place and  Triangle  Town  Commons,  in
Raleigh, NC. The joint venture is valued at $283.5 million.

     Additionally,  during the quarter CBL announced  that it had closed on five
separate ten-year fixed rate  non-recourse  loans totaling $452.0 million with a
weighted  average  interest rate of 5.0%.  The  financings  replaced seven loans
totaling  $289.5 million that had a weighted  average  interest rate of 7.0% and
were maturing over the next 18-months.  As a result of the early  extinguishment
of the loans, CBL incurred a one-time charge of  approximately  $5.2 million for
prepayment  penalties and the write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs,
which was  included  in GAAP Net Income and FFO in the fourth  quarter  and year
ended December 31, 2005.

OUTLOOK AND GUIDANCE

     Based on today's  outlook and the Company's  fourth  quarter  results,  the
Company is  providing  guidance  for 2006 FFO in the range of $3.28 to $3.33 per
share.  The full year  guidance  assumes  same center NOI growth in the range of
2.5% to 3.5% and  excludes  the impact of any future  unannounced  acquisitions,
lease termination fee income,  gains on sales of outparcels,  and gains on sales
of non-operating  properties.  The Company expects to update its annual guidance
after each quarter's results.

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.

Reclassification

     Certain prior period amounts in the  consolidated  statements of operations
have been  reclassified  to present  marketing  fund  revenues and expenses on a
gross basis in  accordance  with  Emerging  Issues  Task Force Issue No.  99-19,
Reporting Revenue Gross as a Principal versus Net as an Agent. As a result,  the
following amounts in the consolidated statements of operations have changed from
the previously reported amounts for the three months and year ended December 31,
2004:  tenant  reimbursements  have  increased  by  $9,533,000  and  $27,281,000
respectively,   other   revenues  have  decreased  by  $789,000  and  $3,093,000
respectively,  and property  operating expenses have increased by $8,744,000 and
$24,188,000  respectively.  This  reclassification  did  not  change  previously
reported amounts of net income available to common shareholders.
