[MAGUIRE PROPERTIES LETTERHEAD] FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE MAGUIRE PROPERTIES REPORTS INITIAL POST-IPO PERIOD FINANCIAL RESULTS LOS ANGELES, August 12, 2003 - Maguire Properties, Inc. (NYSE: MPG), a real estate investment trust, today reported results for its initial post-IPO period ended June 30, 2003 and announced its outlook for the third and fourth quarters of 2003 and for the full year of 2004. RECENT CORPORATE HIGHLIGHTS INCLUDE: - - Successfully completed initial public offering raising approximately $722.0 million in net proceeds, including exercise of over-allotment option - - Used net proceeds from initial public offering and debt refinancings principally to: - - Buy out the preferred equity holder and pay down indebtedness secured by the US Bank Tower property - - Refinance and pay down indebtedness secured by the Gas Company Tower property - - Acquire an additional 42% interest in, as well as refinance and pay down indebtedness secured by Wells Fargo Tower Property - - Pay down indebtedness secured by the KPMG Tower - - Repay financing secured by Plaza Las Fuentes - - Acquire the Cerritos Corporate Center - - Completed a new three-year senior secured revolving credit facility of $100 million. The financing was arranged through Citigroup Global Markets Inc. and Wachovia Securities, LLC - - Executed new lease with US Bank for 155,000 square feet for newly renamed US Bank Tower - - Completed early lease renewal with Morrison & Foerster, early lease renewal and expansion with Gibson Dunn & Crutcher and a new 72,000 square foot lease with Latham & Watkins INITIAL POST-IPO PERIOD FINANCIAL RESULTS Including a $44.3 million loss on extinguishment of debt related to our refinancing of $790 million of indebtedness in connection with the initial public offering and $14.1 million of compensation expense incurred in connection with the initial public offering, our four day operating results for the period from June 27, 2003 (inception of the company) to June 30, 2003 resulted in a net loss of $46.2 million, or $1.25 per diluted share. We do not believe that these historical financial results are comparable to future expected operating results of the company since they include various offering-related charges. The weighted average common shares outstanding were 36,853,421 for this period. EPS AND FFO PER SHARE PROJECTIONS The Company's guidance for the third and fourth quarters of 2003 for earnings per share (EPS) (diluted) and funds from operations (FFO) per share (diluted) is set forth and reconciled below. THIRD QUARTER FOURTH QUARTER FULL-YEAR 2003 2003 2004 (Low - High) (Low - High) (Low - High) Projected net income per share (diluted) $0.27 - $0.29 $0.28 - $0.33 $1.23 - $1.41 Add: Projected company share of real estate depreciation and amortization $0.19 - $0.18 $0.20 - $0.18 $0.88 - $0.80 Projected funds from operations per share (diluted) $0.46 - $0.47 $0.48 - $0.51 $2.11 - $2.21 The foregoing estimates reflect management's view of current and future market conditions, including certain assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels and acquisitions/dispositions. There can be no assurance that the Company's actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth above. Mr. Richard Gilchrist, President and Co-Chief Executive Officer commented, "During the quarter, our leasing strategy remained focused on managing our existing, high-quality tenant base to maximize value while mitigating near term lease rollover. We executed several key leases and early lease renewals and increased our leased rate from 89.5% to 92.4% as of the end of the quarter. In addition, we continued to pursue opportunistic acquisitions, and completed the acquisition of the AT&T Wireless Headquarters project in Cerritos in conjunction with our initial public offering. We continue to evaluate potential opportunities to recycle capital into other assets through institutional investments in our existing properties. "We are very pleased to have successfully completed our initial public offering. The debt refinancings we completed in conjunction with the offering have strengthened the Company's financial position and flexibility. We are pleased with our results and believe we have a strong platform and financial capability to continue to capitalize on the growth opportunities we have identified in our markets." As of June 30, 2003, the Company's portfolio consisted of eight office properties with approximately 6.1 million net rentable square feet, a 350-room hotel with 266,000 square feet, and total on- and off-site parking of approximately 3.1 million square feet, accommodating a capacity of over 10,500 vehicles. The Company also owns an undeveloped two-acre land parcel adjacent to an existing office property that we believe can support future office development.
