Camden Property Trust Announces Second Quarter 2004 Operating Results

    HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 5, 2004--Camden Property Trust
(NYSE:CPT) announced that its net income ("EPS") for the second
quarter of 2004 was $7.7 million or $0.18 per diluted share compared
to $5.9 million or $0.14 per diluted share for the same period in
2003. For the six months ended June 30, 2004, EPS totaled $17.0
million or $0.40 per diluted share compared to $14.2 million or $0.35
per diluted share for the same period in 2003.
    Funds from operations ("FFO") for the second quarter of 2004
totaled $0.79 per diluted share or $35.1 million, as compared to $0.75
per diluted share or $32.4 million reported for the same period in
2003. FFO for the six months ended June 30, 2004 totaled $1.63 per
diluted share or $71.9 million, as compared to $1.54 per diluted share
or $66.0 million reported for the same period in 2003. FFO for the six
months ended June 30, 2004 included $1.7 million or $0.04 per diluted
share related to an insurance settlement for lost rents related to a
fire in one of Camden's communities in 2000, and $0.9 million or $0.02
per diluted share associated with the sale of an e-commerce investment
that had previously been written off. 2003 FFO has been adjusted from
amounts previously reported to include gains on sale of undepreciated
property in accordance with the National Association of Real Estate
Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") definition of FFO. A reconciliation of
net income to FFO is included in the financial tables accompanying
this press release.
    Physical occupancy levels averaged 94.3% during both the first and
second quarters of 2004 as compared to 91.4% and 92.4% in the first
and second quarters of 2003 respectively. For the 44,481 apartment
homes included in "same-property" results, second quarter 2004
revenues increased 0.6% while operating expenses increased 2.8%,
producing a 0.9% decline in same-property net operating income ("NOI")
compared to the second quarter of 2003. On a sequential basis, second
quarter 2004 same-property NOI declined 2.2% compared to first quarter
2004, with revenues declining 0.2% and expenses increasing 3.0%
compared to the prior quarter. On a year-to-date basis, 2004
same-property NOI increased 1.2%, with a revenue increase of 1.8% and
expense growth of 2.7% compared to the same period in 2003. A
reconciliation of net income to net operating income and same-property
net operating income is included in the financial tables accompanying
this press release.
    During the quarter, lease-ups were completed at Camden Oak Crest
in Houston, TX and Camden Sierra at Otay Ranch in Chula Vista, CA, and
the properties are currently 93% and 95% occupied, respectively. The
Company also completed construction at Camden Harbor View in Long
Beach, CA during the quarter, and that community is currently 69%
leased and 66% occupied. Construction continued on Camden Westwind in
Ashburn, VA, Camden Lee Vista II in Orlando, FL and Camden Farmers
Market II in Dallas, TX, with initial occupancies expected at all
three communities during early to mid-2005. Camden Westwind is being
developed in a joint venture format, with Camden retaining a 20%
ownership interest. In addition, construction recently began on an
additional phase at Camden Miramar in Corpus Christi, TX, which will
add 126 student housing units to the existing community in time for
the 2004 fall semester.
    The Company also acquired two tracts of undeveloped land in the
Washington DC/Northern Virginia area during the quarter for
approximately $29 million. Pre-development activities are currently
underway on both sites, and Camden plans to develop two multifamily
communities containing 747 apartment homes on those sites in late 2004
or early 2005.
    Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company issued $100 million of
senior unsecured notes under its existing shelf registration. These
five-year notes, rated Baa2 by Moody's and BBB by Standard & Poor's
and Fitch, were issued at 99.841% of par value with a coupon of 4.70%.
Interest on the notes is payable semi-annually on January 15 and July
15, and the notes will mature on July 15, 2009. The Company used the
net proceeds to reduce the balance outstanding under its unsecured
credit facility.
    Camden expects 2004 FFO between $3.15 and $3.30 per diluted share
and 2004 EPS between $0.63 and $0.78 per diluted share, excluding any
future gains from potential property sales. For 2004, 11 research
analysts have contributed FFO estimates on CPT to First Call ranging
from $3.10 to $3.30 per diluted share, for a mean of $3.25 per diluted
share. The Company also provided guidance for the third quarter of
2004 of $0.75 to $0.80 per diluted share for FFO and $0.11 to $0.16
per diluted share for EPS. Camden updates its earnings guidance to the
market on a quarterly basis. A reconciliation of expected net income
to expected FFO is included in the financial tables accompanying this
press release.

at 11:00 AM Central Time to review its second quarter results and

 CAMDEN                                    NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

(Unaudited)

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures that
management believes are useful in evaluating an equity REIT's
performance. Camden's definitions and calculations of non-GAAP
financial measures may differ from those used by other REITs, and thus
may not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be
considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our
operating performance, or to net cash provided by operating activities
as a measure of our liquidity.

FFO
- ---
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT")
currently defines FFO as net income computed in accordance with
generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains or
losses from of depreciable operating property sales, plus real estate
depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for
unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Camden's definition of
diluted FFO also assumes conversion of all dilutive convertible
securities, including minority interests, which are convertible into
common equity. The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate
supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding
gains or losses on dispositions of operating properties and excluding
depreciation, FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a
company's real estate between periods or as compared to different
companies. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is provided below:

(a) FFO for the three months ended and six months ended June 30, 2003
    previously included a reduction of $0.7 million and $2.1 million
    respectively from gains on sales of undepreciated property. We
    have adjusted FFO to include these types of gains as they
    currently do not meet NAREITs definition of gains that should be
    adjusted from net income in calculating FFO.

Expected FFO
- ------------
Expected FFO is calculated in a method consistent with historical FFO,
and is considered an appropriate supplemental measure of expected
operating performance when compared to expected net income (EPS). A
reconciliation of the ranges provided for expected net income per
diluted share to expected FFO per diluted share is provided below:

Net Operating Income (NOI)
- --------------------------
NOI is defined by the Company as total property income less property
operating and maintenance expenses less real estate taxes. The Company
considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating
performance to net income because it reflects the operating
performance of our communities without allocation of corporate level
property management overhead or general and administrative costs. A
reconciliation of net income to net operating income is provided
below:

EBITDA
- ------
EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes,
depreciation and amortization, including net operating income from
discontinued operations, excluding equity in income of joint ventures,
gain on sale of real estate assets, and income allocated to minority
interests. The Company considers EBITDA to be an appropriate
supplemental measure of operating performance to net income because it
represents income before non-cash depreciation and the cost of debt,
and excludes gains or losses from property dispositions. A
reconciliation of net income to EBITDA is provided below:
