Corporation (NYSE: KIM) today announced net income for the third quarter ended
September 30, 2005 of $85.3 million compared to $78.5 million a year earlier, an
increase of 8.7 percent. On a per share basis, net income increased 9.1 percent
to $0.36 from $0.33 reported in the third quarter of 2004. All prior period
amounts presented have been adjusted to reflect the Company's 2-for-1 stock
split that was effective August 8, 2005.

    Kimco's third quarter funds from operations ("FFO"), a widely accepted
supplemental measure of REIT performance, rose 14.4 percent to $116.3 million
from $101.6 million for the same period last year. On a per share basis, third
quarter FFO increased 13.6 percent to $0.50 from $0.44 a year ago. Quarterly FFO
excludes gains on dispositions of operating properties net of minority interests
and joint venture properties of approximately $5.6 million, or $0.02 per share,
in 2005 and approximately $8.0 million, or $0.03 per share, in 2004.

    For the nine months ended September 30, 2005, net income increased 15.6
percent to $256.0 million from $221.3 million for the same period last year. Net
income per share increased 13.8 percent to $1.07 from $0.94 a year ago. Funds
from operations rose 11.8 percent to $337.2 million for the nine-month period
ended September 30, 2005 from $301.7 million in the year earlier period. On a
per share basis, FFO increased 9.8 percent to $1.45 from $1.32 reported a year
ago. Funds from operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2005 excludes
gains on dispositions and transfers of operating properties net of minority
interests and joint venture properties of approximately $26.3 million or $0.11
per share and approximately $14.9 million or $0.06 per share for the same period
last year.

    FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used as a standard in the
real estate industry to measure and compare the operating performance of real
estate companies. A complete reconciliation containing adjustments from GAAP net
income to FFO is included in this release.

    During the quarter, Kimco's parent portfolio occupancy increased to 94.2
percent from 94.1 percent at June 30, 2005 and 92.9 percent a year earlier.
Kimco's occupancy is the highest level in Company history. For the quarter,

lease renewals totaling 415,300 square feet. Year to date the Company has signed
334 new leases in this portfolio totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet
and 254 lease renewals totaling 1.7 million square feet. The average increase in
base rent for new leases signed for same space leases was 11.4 percent and 10.6
percent for the quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.
Occupancy in the Company's combined operating portfolio encompassing
approximately 108.5 million square feet of gross leasable area was 94.8 percent,
90 basis points higher than a year ago.



    Investment Activity

    Kimco has acquired property interests totaling $544 million for the
Company's core portfolio, co-investment programs and international portfolios
since the end of the second quarter. A summary of the significant investments is
as follows:

    - Kimco acquired all the shares of GDE Properties Corporation, a private
      entity that owned a portfolio of three supermarket anchored properties
      located in Southern and Central California for approximately $104.5
      million. The properties are Marigold Center, Laband Village and Plaza di
      Northridge. Marigold Center, located in San Luis Obispo, California,
      contains 175,000 square feet of gross leasable area and is anchored by
      Vons, Michaels and Sav-on Drug. Laband Village located in Chino Hills,
      California, is a 73,000 square foot neighborhood shopping center anchored
      by Stater Bros. Market, the largest privately owned supermarket chain in
      Southern California. Plaza di Northridge in Northridge, California, is a
      160,000 square foot, 100 percent leased shopping center anchored by
      Gelson's supermarket, Linens-N-Things and DSW. These properties will
      remain in Kimco's parent portfolio.

    - Kimco acquired four shopping centers for the Company's co-investment
      programs totaling $146 million. Stafford Marketplace, a 332,000 square
      foot shopping center located in Stafford, Virginia, was purchased for
      approximately $80.0 million. This shopping center is anchored by Shoppers
      Food Warehouse, TJ Maxx, Pier 1 Imports, Borders and several other
      national tenants. Yorkshire Plaza located in Aurora, Illinois, was also
      acquired for approximately $29.7 million. Yorkshire Plaza is 362,000
      square feet and anchored by Best Buy, Value City, Pier I Imports and
      Sportsmart. The Company also acquired Greeley Commons in Greeley,
      Colorado, and North Quincy Plaza in Quincy, Massachusetts. Greeley
      Commons is a 139,000 square foot shopping center anchored by Bed Bath &
      Beyond, Michaels, Petco and Circuit City and is currently 100 percent
      leased. North Quincy Plaza is an 80,510 square foot in-fill neighborhood
      center anchored by Victory Supermarket and Brooks Pharmacy. These
      properties were acquired for an aggregate cost of approximately $36.0
      million.

    - In addition, Kimco formed a new joint venture with a new institutional
      partner and transferred a previously acquired portfolio of 45 net leased
      properties to the venture. Kimco is also under contract to purchase Doc
      Stone Market located in Stafford, Virginia, for this venture. Doc Stone
      Market is a 100,000 square foot center anchored by Giant Food, Petco and
      Staples, valued at approximately $17.2 million.

    - In Mexico, Kimco formed a strategic joint venture with American
      Industries, a leading real estate owner and operator in Mexico. Kimco
      invested approximately $55 million to acquire a 50 percent interest in
      American Industries' portfolio of 57 net leased industrial, warehouse and
      distribution facilities. The portfolio has a gross value of approximately
      $277 million and the tenant leases are triple net, U.S. Dollar denominated
      obligations of U.S. and multi-national tenants.

    - Also in Mexico, Kimco invested $2.6 million to acquire an interest in a
      development to be anchored by Walmart. The project will be a 105,000
      square foot multi-tenant shopping center located in the city of Tuxtepec
      in the State of Oaxaca. Kimco now has an ownership interest in 70
      properties in Mexico with a gross real estate value of approximately $475
      million.

    In addition, Kimco made several opportunistic investments through its Kimco
Select Investment and Retail Property Solutions business lines. Kimco's Retail
Property Solutions team participated in the successful recapitalization and
emergence from bankruptcy of Frank's Nursery and Crafts, which has been renamed
FNC Realty. At emergence, FNC Realty consisted of 55 properties of which, eight
were subsequently sold. The remaining properties are being leased, redeveloped
or marketed for sale by Kimco. Kimco Select invested approximately $14 million
to purchase an interest in One City Center, an office building located in
Houston, Texas. The building is predominantly leased to credit tenants with long
term leases and was purchased well below replacement cost. Kimco Select, through
a joint venture, also purchased a 90 percent interest in a first mortgage
receivable with a principal amount due of $46.7 million at a significant
discount. The Company also agreed to provide up to $33 million of construction
financing for a 388,412 square foot Target-anchored retail center in Richland
Township, Pennsylvania. In addition to receiving interest income from the loan,
Kimco will receive an ownership position in the completed project.



    Kimco's preferred equity investment program continued to provide a
meaningful contribution to FFO and growth in the Company's invested assets.
During the quarter, two preferred equity investments were redeemed and Kimco
realized profit participation of approximately $4.4 million. Five new preferred
equity investments were initiated during the quarter totaling approximately
$21.4 million of new investment, including one Canadian property in Kamloops,
British Columbia, and domestically in properties in San Marcos, Texas; Sarasota,
Florida; Lansing, Illinois; and Hamilton, New Jersey.

    Kimco's merchant building business, Kimco Developers Inc. (KDI), completed
the sale of one shopping center and sold portions of five additional projects
generating proceeds of $59.6 million. These property sales resulted in gains on
sales of approximately $8.1 million, net of tax. Several pad sites and one
additional shopping center are currently under contract for sale in the fourth
quarter of 2005. In addition, KDI acquired land for six new projects for a total
of $67.9 million and invested an additional $87.6 million in its pipeline of 31
shopping center developments.

    Increased Earnings Guidance

        As a result of the Company's continued strong operating results, Kimco's
management increased its projection for FFO per share to $1.96 for the full year
ending December 31, 2005. This estimate is $0.02 per share above the high end of
the range of guidance management provided last quarter. Management also
increased guidance for FFO per share for the year ending December 2006 to
between $2.09 and $2.14, which represents growth in FFO of between 7.0 percent
and 9.0 percent. Management's increase was from prior guidance for 2006 of
between $2.07 per share to $2.10 per share.

    Kimco, a publicly-traded real estate investment trust, has specialized in
shopping center acquisitions, development and management for over 45 years.
Kimco owns and operates the nation's largest portfolio of neighborhood and
community shopping centers with interests in 946 properties comprising
approximately 127.0 million square feet of leasable space located throughout 43
states, Canada and Mexico. For further information refer to the Company's web

(1)  Most industry analysts and equity REITs, including the Company, generally
     consider funds from operations ("FFO") to be an appropriate supplemental
     measure of the performance of an equity REIT. FFO is defined as net income
     applicable to common shares before depreciation and amortization,
     extraordinary items, cumulative effect of accounting changes, gains on
     sales of operating real estate, plus the pro-rata amount of depreciation
     and amortization of unconsolidated joint ventures, net of minority
     interests, determined on a consistent basis. Given the nature of the
     Company's business as a real estate owner and operator, the Company
     believes that FFO is helpful to investors as a measure of its operational
     performance. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating
     activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and
     therefore should not be considered an alternative for net income as a
     measure of liquidity. In addition, the comparability of the Company's FFO
     with the FFO reported by other REITs may be affected by the differences
     that exist regarding certain accounting policies relating to expenditures
     for repairs and other recurring items.

(2)  Reflects the potential impact if certain units were converted to common
     stock at the beginning of the period. Funds from operations would be
     increased by $1,739 and $1,502 for the three months ended September 30,
     2005 and 2004, respectively, and $4,953 and $4,506 for the nine months
     ended September 30, 2005 and 2004, respectively, reflecting the
     distributions associated with these units.

    Projections involve numerous assumptions such as rental income (including
assumptions on percentage rent), interest rates, tenant defaults, occupancy
rates, foreign currency exchange rates (such as the US-Canadian rate), selling
prices of properties held for disposition, expenses (including salaries and
employee costs), insurance costs and numerous other factors. Not all of these
factors are determinable at this time and actual results may vary from the
projected results, and may be above or below the range indicated. The above
range represents management's estimate of results based upon these assumptions
as of the date of this press release.
