SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. 4 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- BRE Properties, Inc. (NYSE:BRE) today reported operating results for the quarter ended June 30, 2009. All per share results are reported on a fully diluted basis. Funds from operations (FFO), the generally accepted measure of operating performance for real estate investment trusts, totaled $37.2 million, or $0.70 per share, for second quarter 2009, as compared with $35.2 million, or $0.67 per share, for the quarter ended June 30, 2008. FFO for the 2009 and 2008 periods reflected the net impact of the adoption of APB-14-1, totaling $1.7 million, or $0.03 per share, and $1.6 million, or $0.03 per share, respectively. FFO for the second quarter 2009 also included nonroutine income of $2.0 million, or $0.04 per share, from a net gain on the retirement of debt. Excluding nonroutine income and the APB-14-1-related noncash interest charge, core FFO per share was flat on a year-over-year basis. (A reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to FFO is provided at the end of this release.) Net income available to common shareholders for the second quarter totaled $28.2 million, or $0.54 per share, as compared with $14.4 million, or $0.28 per share, for the same period 2008. The second quarter 2009 results included a gain on sale of real estate of approximately $14.3 million, or $0.28 per share, and the nonroutine income item cited previously. Total revenues from continuing operations for the quarter were $86.3 million, as compared with $86.1 million a year ago. Adjusted EBITDA for the quarter totaled $57.3 million, as compared with $61.1 million in second quarter 2008. (A reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to Adjusted EBITDA is provided at the end of this release.) Six-Month Period Ended June 30, 2009 For the year-to-date period, FFO totaled $72.0 million, or $1.37 per share, as compared with $69.4 million, or $1.31 per share, for the six-month period in 2008. FFO for the first half of 2009 and 2008 reflected the net impact of APB-14-1, totaling $3.3 million, or $0.06 per share, and $3.1 million, or $0.06 per share, respectively. FFO for the six-month period in 2009 also included the nonroutine income cited previously. Excluding nonroutine income and the noncash charge related to APB-14-1, core FFO per share growth was 1.5% year-over-year. Net income available to common shareholders for the six-month period totaled $41.2 million, or $0.79 per diluted share, as compared with $27.1 million, or $0.52 per diluted share, for the same period 2008. The 2009 year-to-date results included the gain on sale and nonroutine income item cited previously. For the first half of 2009, total revenues from continuing operations were $172.6 million, as compared with $170.4 million for the same period 2008, representing growth of 1.3%. Adjusted EBITDA for the six-month period totaled $115.7 million, as compared with $121.0 million for the same period in 2008. BRE's year-over-year earnings and FFO results reflected declines in same-store property-level operating results, which were offset by income from newly developed and redeveloped properties, a lower interest rate environment and a reduction in corporate-level G&A expenses. Same-store net operating income (NOI) declined 6.7%, or $4.0 million, for the quarter, as compared with the same period in 2008. (A reconciliation of net income available to common shareholders to NOI is provided at the end of this release.) Developed properties generated $2.0 million in additional NOI during the quarter, as compared with second quarter 2008. Same-Store Property Results BRE defines same-store properties as stabilized apartment communities owned by the company for at least five full quarters. Of the 21,485 apartment units owned directly by BRE, same-store units totaled 19,572 for the quarter. On a year-over-year basis, overall same-store revenue declined 3.8% for the quarter. Average same-store market rent for the second quarter 2009 decreased 4.1% to $1,451 per unit, from $1,513 per unit in second quarter 2008. Physical occupancy levels averaged 93.9% during second quarter 2009, as compared with 94.3% for the same period in 2008. Physical occupancy at the end of the second quarter was 95.2%. Rent concessions in the same-store portfolio totaled $2.0 million, or nine days rent, for second quarter 2009, as compared with $880,000, or four days, for the same period 2008. On a sequential basis, same-store revenue declined 1.7%, expenses increased 2.2% and NOI decreased 3.4% against first quarter 2009 results. Sequential declines in revenue and NOI were driven by a reduction in market rents and increased concessions. Same-store results were impacted primarily by the increasing job losses in the company's operating markets. In Southern California, unemployment rates increased to 11.2% in the second quarter 2009 from 10.9% in the first quarter 2009; the San Francisco Bay area saw unemployment rates rise to 10.7% in the second quarter, from 10.0% in the previous quarter; Seattle's sequential unemployment rate increased to 9.3% from 8.7%.

The current physical occupancy at Taylor 28 is 58%; Park Viridian is 52%; leasing velocity has averaged 26 units and 28 units per month, respectively, since the communities opened. BRE currently has two communities under construction, one in Seattle, Washington and one in Northern California, with a total of 566 units, an aggregate projected investment of $176.1 million and an estimated balance to complete totaling $51.2 million. Estimated completion dates are first and third quarter 2010, respectively. BRE owns three land parcels, two in Southern California and one in Northern California, representing 960 units of future development, and an estimated aggregate investment of $455 million upon completion. Dispositions During the quarter, the company sold a stabilized community in Sacramento, Calif., Overlook at Blue Ravine (512 units). Sales proceeds totaled approximately $50.1 million. In connection with the transaction, the company recorded a gain on sale of approximately $14.3 million, or $0.28 per share, for the quarter. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the company sold another stabilized community in Sacramento, Arbor Pointe (240 units), which was reported as held for sale at June 30, 2009. Sales proceeds totaled approximately $15.4 million. In connection with the transaction, the company expects to record a gain on sale of approximately $7.2 million, or $0.14 per share, in the third quarter. The composite transaction capitalization rate of these dispositions was approximately 8.5%, calculated on an annualized trailing three months of property-level NOI. Proceeds derived from the sales were used to repay the company's unsecured credit facility. The disposition of these two properties completes the company's planned exit of the Sacramento market. Over the past 24 months, the company sold eight properties, with a total of 1,756 units, in Sacramento, at a composite capitalization rate of 6.9%, for total sales proceeds of approximately $194 million, and an aggregate gain on sale of approximately $73.6 million. Capital Markets Activity As previously reported, during the second quarter, the company completed two public tender offers for four series of senior unsecured notes, retiring $472 million of debt, at an average 99.62% of par. The transactions resulted in a net loss of $1.4 million after recognition of unamortized issuance fees and transaction costs. Also during the quarter, the company repurchased through open market transactions $40 million of its 4.125% convertible notes, at an average 89.3% of par, resulting in a net gain of $3.4 million.

Proceeds from the issuance of common stock were used to repay the company's unsecured credit facility. Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the company received the second $310 million advance from the $620 million transaction with Fannie Mae, which was closed and reported in April. Proceeds were used to pay down the company's unsecured credit facility. The current balance of the credit facility is $170 million. Earnings Outlook The company has adjusted its FFO guidance for the full year 2009 to a range of $2.42 to $2.52 per share, from the previous range of $2.38 to $2.53. The revised guidance range includes the nonroutine income of $2.0 million, or $0.04 per share, from the gain on retirement of debt recorded in the second quarter. Excluding the nonroutine income item and APB-14-1 noncash interest, per share core FFO amounts for 2009 are expected to range $2.50 to $2.60. Guidance for earnings per share (EPS) has been revised to a range of $1.15 to $1.25, from the previous range of $0.69 to $0.84. The revised EPS guidance range includes the $2.0 million gain ($0.04 per share) on the retirement of debt and gains on the sales of assets totaling $21.5 million ($0.42 per share) that have closed through the date of this release.

BRE Properties, Inc. Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations and Definitions (Dollar amounts in thousands) ----------------------------------------------------------- This document includes certain non-GAAP financial measures that management believes are helpful in understanding our business, as further described below. BRE's definition and calculation of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those of other REITs, and may, therefore, not be comparable. The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measurement of performance and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities as a measure of liquidity. Funds from Operations (FFO) FFO is used by industry analysts and investors as a supplemental performance measure of an equity REIT. FFO is defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts as net income or loss (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States) excluding extraordinary items as defined under GAAP and gains or losses from sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate assets and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition. We believe that FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation. Because real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, management considers FFO an appropriate supplemental performance measure because it excludes historical cost depreciation, as well as gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated property, from GAAP net income. By excluding depreciation and gains or losses on sales of real estate, management uses FFO to measure returns on its investments in real estate assets. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have Management also believes that FFO, combined with the required GAAP presentations, is useful to investors in providing more meaningful comparisons of the operating performance of a company's real estate between periods or as compared to other companies. FFO does not represent net income or cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not intended to indicate whether cash flows will be sufficient to fund cash needs. It should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indicator of the REIT's operating performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Our FFO may not be comparable to the FFO of other REITs due to the fact that not all REITs use the NAREIT definition.

Non-GAAP Financial Measure Reconciliations and Definitions (Dollar amounts in thousands) --------------------------------------------------------- Earnings Before Interest, Taxes, Depreciation and Amortization (EBITDA) and Adjusted EBITDA EBITDA is defined as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. Adjusted EBITDA is defined by BRE as EBITDA, excluding minority interests, gains or losses from sales of investments, preferred stock dividends and other expenses. We consider EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA to be appropriate supplemental measures of our performance because they eliminate depreciation, interest, and, with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, gains (losses) from property dispositions and other charges, which permits investors to view income from operations without the impact of noncash depreciation or the cost of debt, or with respect to Adjusted EBITDA, other non-operating items described above. Because EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA exclude depreciation and amortization and capture neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of EBITDA and Adjusted EBITDA as measures of our performance is limited.

This is more reflective of the operating performance of the real estate, and allows for an easier comparison of the operating performance of single assets or groups of assets. In addition, because prospective buyers of real estate have different overhead structures, with varying marginal impact to overhead by acquiring real estate, NOI is considered by many in the real estate industry to be a useful measure for determining the value of a real estate asset or groups of assets. Because NOI excludes depreciation and does not capture the change in the value of our communities resulting from operational use and market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures required to adequately maintain the communities (all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations), the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI consistently with our definition and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs' NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions. NOI also should not be used as a supplement to or substitute for cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP).
