FINANCIAL AND OPERATIONAL HIGHLIGHTS -- EPS in the fourth quarter of 2004 was $.41 per share, versus $.46 in the comparable period of 2003. For the full year, EPS was $1.21 as compared to $1.22 in 2003. -- Fully diluted FFO per share increased to $.90 in the fourth quarter of 2004, 20.0% above $.75 reported in the fourth quarter of 2003. FFO per fully diluted share for 2004 was a record $2.77, up 19.9% from $2.31 in 2003. Total FFO for the quarter increased 23.7% to $254.6 million, from $205.9 million in 2003's fourth quarter. The effects of non-cash rental revenue recognized pursuant to SFAS No. 141 and 142 resulted in approximately $9.8 million or $.03 of FFO per fully diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2004 as compared to $4.5 million or $.02 in the comparable period of 2003. Straight-line rent resulted in approximately $7.3 million or $.03 of FFO per fully diluted share in the fourth quarter of 2004, versus $3.4 million or $.01 in the same period of 2003. -- FFO Guidance for 2005 is currently estimated to be $3.13 per share. The Company expects to update this estimate in conjunction with its quarterly earnings releases in 2005. -- Real estate property net operating income (NOI) for the fourth quarter of 2004 increased to $501.4 million, 50.4% above the $333.4 million reported in the fourth quarter of 2003. For the full year, NOI increased 28.8% to $1.43 billion, up from $1.11 billion in 2003. -- Property revenues from consolidated properties were $645.4 million for the quarter, an increase of 78.8%, compared to $361.0 million for the same period in 2003. For the twelve months ended December 31, 2004, revenues from consolidated properties were $1.72 billion, up 45.8% from $1.18 billion in 2003. Property revenues from unconsolidated properties at share increased 71.4% to $195.1 million, compared to $113.8 million in the fourth quarter of 2003.

For unconsolidated properties, average rent for leases expiring in 2004 was $32.35 compared to $31.29 in 2003. -- The Rouse Company The Company completed the merger with The Rouse Company on November 12, 2004. The 2004 financial and operational highlights, with the exception of average rent and comparable NOI, include the effect of this transaction. The financial information included is based on management's current determination of the required purchase accounting adjustments arising from the Rouse transaction. These adjustments are subject to change. As the operations of the master-planned communities acquired in the Rouse transaction are managed separately and now represent a different line of business for General Growth Properties, the Company has presented for 2004 and will continue to present its operations in two business segments, Retail and Other, and Community Development. -- Discontinued operations In early November 2004, the Company sold a group of non-retail assets that were obtained in the July 2002 acquisition of JP Realty, Inc. for a sales price of approximately $67 million. As required by generally accepted accounting principles, the operations of these assets have been classified as discontinued operations. Certain amounts for 2003 have been reclassified to conform to this presentation.

NON-GAAP SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL MEASURES AND DEFINITIONS FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS (FFO) General Growth, consistent with real estate industry and investment community preferences, uses FFO as a supplemental measure of operating performance for a real estate investment trust (REIT). The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)), excluding gains (or losses) from cumulative effects of accounting changes, extraordinary items and sales of properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company considers FFO a supplemental measure for equity REITs and a complement to GAAP measures because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of the company's properties. FFO does not give effect to real estate depreciation and amortization since these amounts are computed to allocate the cost of a property over its useful life. Since values for well-maintained real estate assets have historically increased or decreased based upon prevailing market conditions, the Company believes that FFO provides investors with a clearer view of the Company's operating performance. In order to provide a better understanding of the relationship between FFO and GAAP net income, a reconciliation of FFO to GAAP net income has been provided. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to GAAP net income and is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. In addition, the Company has presented FFO on a consolidated and unconsolidated basis (at the Company's ownership share) as the Company believes that given the significance of the Company's operations that are owned through investments accounted for on the equity method of accounting, the detail of the operations of the Company's unconsolidated properties provides important insights into the income and FFO produced by such investments for the company as a whole. REAL ESTATE PROPERTY NET OPERATING INCOME (NOI) AND COMPARABLE NOI General Growth believes that Real Estate Property Net Operating Income (NOI) is a useful supplemental measure of the Company's operating performance. The Company defines NOI as operating revenues from continuing operations (rental income, tenant recoveries and other income) less property and related expenses from continuing operations (real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, marketing and other property expenses). As with FFO described above, NOI has been reflected on a consolidated and unconsolidated basis (at the Company's ownership share). Other REITs may use different methodologies for calculating NOI, and accordingly, the Company's NOI may not be comparable to other REITs. Because NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, discontinued operations, and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the revenues and expenses directly associated with owning and operating commercial real estate properties and the impact on operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. This measure thereby provides an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP operating or net income. The Company uses NOI to evaluate its operating performance on a property-by-property basis because NOI allows the Company to evaluate the impact that factors such as lease structure, lease rates and tenant base, which vary by property, have on the Company's operating results, gross margins and investment returns. In addition, management believes that NOI provides useful information to the investment community about the Company's operating performance. However, due to the exclusions noted above, NOI should only be used as an alternative measure of the Company's financial performance. For reference and as an aid in understanding of management's computation of NOI, a reconciliation of NOI to consolidated operating income as computed in accordance with GAAP has been presented. Comparable NOI excludes from both years the NOI of properties with significant physical or merchandising changes and those properties acquired or opened during the relevant comparative accounting periods. PROPERTY INFORMATION The Company has presented information on its consolidated and unconsolidated properties separately in the accompanying financial schedules. As a significant portion of the Company's total operations are structured as joint venture arrangements which are unconsolidated, management of the Company believes that operating data with respect to all properties owned provides important insights into the income produced by such investments for the Company as a whole. In addition, the individual items of revenue and expense for the unconsolidated properties have been presented at the Company's ownership share of such unconsolidated ventures. As the management operating philosophies and strategies are the same regardless of ownership structure, an aggregate presentation of NOI and other operating statistics yields a more accurate representation of the relative size and significance of the elements of the Company's overall operations.
