leading owner, manager and developer of market-dominant shopping
centers, today reported operating results for the fourth quarter
and year ended December 31, 2008.

===========
-- FFO applicable to common shareholders for the three-month period ended
December 31, 2008 was a loss of $114.9 million or a loss of $0.95 per
diluted share which compares to FFO income of $100.0 million or $0.82 per
diluted share for the prior-year comparable period. Net loss applicable to
common shareholders for the three-month period ended December 31, 2008 was
$190.2 million or a loss of $1.57 per diluted share which compares to net
income of $32.2 million or $0.27 per diluted share for the prior-year
comparable period.

adjusting for the $225.7 million of charges summarized below and
eliminating the gain on repurchase of unsecured notes of $11.6 million.

===========
-- FFO applicable to common shareholders for the year ended December 31,
2008 was $183.8 million, or $1.52 per diluted share which compares to
$465.0 million or $3.79 per diluted share in 2007. For the year ended
December 31, 2008, net loss applicable to common shareholders was $100.0
million or $0.83 per diluted share which compares to net income of $225.1
million or $1.85 per diluted share in 2007. The decrease in FFO and net
income per share for the year ended December 31, 2008, is primarily related
to the charges described above for the three-month period and a reduction
in the amount of transactional income recognized in 2008, primarily related
to gains on disposition of real estate that occurred in 2007, as described
below.
-- Executed leases during the fourth quarter totaled approximately 1.9
million square feet, including 105 new leases and 204 renewals.
-- On a cash basis, base rental rates increased 10.0% on new leases, 2.7%
on renewals and 4.0% overall.
-- Core portfolio leased percentage at December 31, 2008 was 92.2%.
-- Same store net operating income ("NOI") for the year increased 1.7%
over the prior-year comparable period.
Scott A. Wolstein, Developers Diversified's Chairman and Chief
Executive Officer, stated, "I am pleased to announce this quarter's
operating results, which have proven to be relatively resilient
despite the severe economic challenges. We continue to see
consumers shift their shopping habits to value-oriented retailers,
which make up a large percentage of our portfolio. We are very
proud of our leasing team's ability to execute leases in this
challenging environment, reflected by nearly 2 million square feet
of executed leases this quarter.
"While our financial results were lowered by significant
impairment charges and certain other non-recurring charges, our
core operating results were in line with expectations and continue
to display relative stability as we weather these unprecedented
economic challenges. We made progress in the fourth quarter, but
are extremely focused on further improving our liquidity and
lowering leverage."
Financial Results:
Net loss applicable to common shareholders was $190.2 million,
or $1.57 per share (diluted and basic), for the three-month period
ended December 31, 2008, as compared to net income of $32.2
million, or $0.27 per share (diluted and basic), for the prior year
comparable period.
For the three-month period ended December 31, 2008, FFO per
share was a loss of $0.95 (diluted and basic) compared to income of
$0.82 (diluted and basic) for the prior-year comparable period. FFO
applicable to common shareholders was a loss of $114.9 million for
the three-month period ended December 31, 2008, as compared to FFO
income of $100.0 million for the three-month period ended December
31, 2007.
Net loss applicable to common shareholders was $100.0 million,
or $0.83 per share (diluted and basic), for the year ended December
31, 2008, as compared to net income of $225.1 million, or $1.85 per
share (diluted) and $1.86 per share (basic), for the previous year.
The decrease in net income for the year ended December 31, 2008, is
primarily the result of non-cash impairment charges recorded
relating to the Company's consolidated real estate assets as well
as its unconsolidated joint venture investments aggregating $169.2
million, net of amounts applicable to minority interests, a
non-cash charge of $15.8 million related to the termination of an
equity award plan and costs incurred of $28.3 million related to
abandoned projects, transaction costs and other non recurring/one
time expenses partially offset by a gain on the repurchase of the
Company's senior notes of $11.6 million and lower transactional
income earned compared to the same period in 2007 (gains on
disposition of real estate of approximately $79 million and
promoted income from joint venture interests of approximately $14.3
million in 2007) relating to the transfer of 62 assets to
unconsolidated joint venture interests and the sale of 67 assets to
third parties.
For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, FFO per share
was $1.52 (diluted and basic) and $3.79 (diluted) and $3.80
(basic), respectively. FFO applicable to common shareholders was
$183.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2008, as compared to
$465.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007. The decrease
in FFO for the year ended December 31, 2008, is primarily a result
of the same factors impacting net income as described above.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used as a
standard in the real estate industry and a widely accepted measure
of real estate investment trust ("REIT") performance. Management
believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the financial
performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO more
appropriately measures the core operations of the Company and
provides a benchmark to its peer group. FFO does not represent cash
generated from operating activities in accordance with generally
accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), is not necessarily
indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be
considered as an alternative to net income computed in accordance
with GAAP as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or
as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO is
defined and calculated by the Company as net income, adjusted to
exclude: (i) preferred share dividends, (ii) gains from disposition
of depreciable real estate property, except for those sold through
the Company's merchant building program, which are presented net of
taxes, (iii) extraordinary items and (iv) certain non-cash items.
These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation
and amortization of intangibles, equity income from joint ventures
and equity income from minority equity investments and adding the
Company's proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint
ventures and minority equity investments, determined on a
consistent basis. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO in
a different manner. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is
presented in the financial highlights section.
Leasing:
The following results from the three-month period ended December
31, 2008 highlight continued strong leasing activity throughout the
portfolio:
-- Executed 105 new leases aggregating approximately 0.5 million square
feet and 204 renewals aggregating approximately 1.4 million square feet.
-- On a cash basis, rental rates on new leases increased 10.0% and rental
rates on renewals increased 2.7%. Overall, rental rates for new leases and
renewals increased 4.0%.
-- Total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot,
excluding Brazil, as of December 31, 2008 was $12.43, as compared to $12.33
at December 31, 2007.
-- Core portfolio leased rate was 92.2% as of December 31, 2008, as
compared to 96.0% at December 31, 2007.
Total annual recurring leasing capital expenditures for the
Company and its joint ventures are estimated to be approximately
$32 million ($0.27 per square foot of owned GLA) in 2009 calculated
based on 100% of the funding.
Dispositions:
The Company sold 11 shopping center properties, aggregating 0.4
million square feet for approximately $35.6 million and recognized
a net loss of approximately $3.0 million in the fourth quarter of
2008. An additional seven assets were sold in the first quarter of
2009 for proceeds of approximately $65.8 million of which a portion
of the proceeds will be allocable to minority partners.

Dividends:
The Company's board of directors has approved the payment of
DDR's first quarter dividend in a combination of cash and shares of
the Company's common stock. The Company intends to limit the
aggregate amount of cash payable to shareholders in the dividend to
10% of the total dividend paid. This new payout initiative is a
part of the Company's strategy to further enhance liquidity and
maximize free cash flow and maintain its REIT status.
Financings:
The Company's joint venture in Brazil obtained 8.5% fixed-rate,
twelve-year financing of R$112 million for the development in
Manaus, Brazil. In addition, during the fourth quarter, the Company
refinanced a $19 million development loan for a consolidated joint
venture with a new loan of approximately $30 million at an interest
rate of LIBOR plus 300 bps, which matures in January 2010.
In the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company purchased
approximately $66.9 million face amount of its outstanding senior
notes at a discount to par resulting in a gain of approximately
$11.4 million. Additionally, during January 2009, the Company
purchased an additional $10 million of senior notes. In January
2009, the Company repaid in full approximately $227 million of its
senior notes upon maturity primarily with borrowings under its
revolving credit facility.
Equity Issuances:
The Company sold approximately 8.6 million of its common shares
in December 2008, generating net proceeds of approximately $43
million in the aggregate through its continuous equity program.
Substantially, all net proceeds have been used to repay debt.

(A) Base and percentage rental revenues for the year ended December 31,
2008, as compared to the prior year, decreased $7.9 million, primarily
due to the disposition of properties in 2008 and 2007 to joint venture
interests and third parties aggregating $29.0 million. Partially
offsetting this decrease were the following increases in base and
percentage rental revenues: an increase of $3.3 million relating to the
core portfolio properties (an increase of 0.6% over the comparable
period in 2007), $17.8 million from the acquisition of assets and the
merger with IRRETI, $3.8 million related to developments and
redevelopments and $0.4 million from an increase in occupancy at the
Company's business centers. Included in rental revenues for the years
ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, is approximately $8.0 million and
$12.1 million, respectively, of revenue resulting from the recognition
of straight-line rents.
(B) Other income for the three-month periods and years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007 was comprised of the following (in millions):

(C) Included in operating and maintenance expense is bad debt expense
aggregating $8.5 million and $2.4 million relating to the three-month
periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Fourth quarter
2008 bad debt expense includes the write off of $4.1 million of
straight-line rents relating to Mervyns, of which 50% is allocable to
minority interest. For the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, bad
debt expense was $18.7 million and $9.0 million or 2% and 1% of total
revenues, respectively.
(D) Due to the continued deterioration of the U.S. capital markets and the
lack of liquidity and the related impact on the real estate market and
retail industry, during the fourth quarter of 2008, the Company
recorded impairment charges on several consolidated real estate
investments, including both operating shopping centers and land under
development, to the extent the book basis of the asset was in excess of
the estimated fair market value. As discussed below, some of these
charges are allocable to minority interest thereby providing a partial
offset. In addition, the Company determined that several of its
unconsolidated joint venture investments suffered an "Other than
Temporary Impairment." The Company recorded approximately $107.0
million of impairment charges associated with certain of its joint
venture investments in accordance with Accounting Principles Board
Opinion No. 18, "The Equity Method of Accounting for Investment in
Common Stock." The provisions of this opinion require that a loss in
value of an investment under the equity method of accounting which is
an other than "temporary" decline must be recognized. The Company also
wrote off costs related to abandoned development projects as well as
costs incurred for transactions that are not expected to close.
(E) General and administrative expenses include internal leasing salaries,
legal salaries and related expenses associated with the releasing of
space, which are charged to operations as incurred. For the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, general and administrative expenses were
approximately 5.2% and 4.5%, respectively, of total revenues, including
joint venture revenues. For the year ended December 31, 2008, the
Company recorded a non-cash charge of approximately $15.8 million
related to the termination of a supplemental equity award plan.
Excluding this charge, general and administrative expenses were 4.3%
of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008. For the year
ended December 31, 2007, the Company recorded a charge of approximately
$4.1 million to general and administrative expense in connection with
the Company's former president's resignation as an executive officer.
Excluding this charge, general and administrative expenses were 4.3%
of total revenues for the year ended December 31, 2007.
(F) Other expense primarily relates to a reserve associated with a
mezzanine notes receivable as well as litigation costs related to a
potential liability associated with a legal verdict. The accrual for
the legal verdict was established in the third quarter of 2008.

(a) Revenues for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
included approximately $0.7 million and $2.7 million, respectively,
resulting from the recognition of straight-line rents, of which the
Company's proportionate share was not material and $0.4 million,
respectively. Revenues for the years ended December 31, 2008 and 2007
included approximately $6.3 million and $9.3 million, respectively,
resulting from the recognition of straight-line rents, of which the
Company's proportionate share was $0.8 million and $1.4 million,
respectively.
(b) Impairment charges aggregating $3.9 million were recorded at two
joint ventures related to assets under contract expected to be sold
in the first half of 2009 of which the Company's share was $0.5
million.
(c) Includes non-cash impairment charges and loss on sale of assets of
which the Company's share aggregated $2.4 million. Also includes the
effects of certain derivative instruments that are marked to market
through earnings from the Company's equity investment in Macquarie
DDR Trust aggregating approximately $45.9 million and $29.4 million
of loss for the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2008,
respectively, of which the Company's share was approximately $5.6
million and $1.7 million of loss, respectively.
(d) The Company's share of joint venture net income was increased by
$1.2 million and decreased by $0.6 million for the three-month
periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The Company's
share of joint venture net income was increased by $0.4 million and
decreased by $1.2 million for the years ended December 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively. These adjustments relate to basis differences
impacting amortization and depreciation and gain on dispositions.
During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company received $13.6
million of promoted income relating to the sale of assets from the
DDR Markaz Joint Venture which is included in the Company's
proportionate share of net income and FFO.
At December 31, 2008 and 2007, the Company owned joint venture
interests, excluding consolidated joint ventures, in 329 and 317
shopping center properties, respectively.
(e) Distributions may include funds received from asset sales and
refinancings in addition to ongoing operating distributions.
(H) Minority interests are comprised of the following:
Three-Month Period Year Ended

2008 2007 2008 2007
---------- --------- --------- ---------
Minority equity interests $ 17,053 $ (1,444) $ 12,333 $ (6,253)

units - - - (9,690)
---------- --------- --------- ---------
$ 17,053 $ (2,013) $ 11,188 $ (18,218)
========== ========= ========= =========
The $17.1 million and $12.3 million of income from minority interests for
the three-month period and year ended December 31, 2008, respectively, is
primarily related to asset impairment charges and the write off of
straight-line rent relating to the DDR MDT MV LLC (Mervyns), a
consolidated joint venture, of which the Company has a 50% interest.
The preferred operating partnership units were redeemed in June 2007. In
June 2008, 0.5 million operating partnership units were converted into an
equivalent number of common shares of the Company.
(I) During the third quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2007, the
Company released to income approximately $16.0 million and $15.0
million, respectively, of previously established valuation allowances
against certain deferred tax assets as management had determined, due
to several factors, that it is more likely than not that the deferred
tax asset will be realized. The release of this reserve in 2008 was
primarily due to the Company's increased use of its taxable REIT
subsidiaries relating to the recognition of fees, primarily from joint
ventures, and other miscellaneous non-real estate related income.
(J) The operating results relating to assets classified as discontinued
operations are summarized as follows:
Three-Month Period Year Ended

(K) For purposes of computing FFO per share (basic), the weighted average
shares outstanding were adjusted to reflect the assumed conversion of
approximately 0.4 million and 0.9 million Operating Partnership Units
("OP Units") outstanding at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
0.9 million common shares of the Company for the three-month period
ended December 31, 2007 (antidilutive at December 31, 2008) and 0.6
million and 0.9 million common shares for the years ended December 31,
2008 and 2007, respectively, on a weighted average basis. The weighted
average diluted shares and OP Units outstanding, for purposes of
computing FFO, were approximately 121.5 million and 122.5 million for
the three-month periods ended December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively, and 121.0 million and 122.7 million for the years ended
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

(A) Amounts include the consolidation of a 50% owned joint venture, DDR
MDT MV LLC ("MV LLC"), that owns 37 sites formerly occupied by Mervyns,
which includes $348.5 and $405.8 million of real estate assets at
December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, $258.5 million of mortgage
debt at December 31, 2008 and 2007, and $70.2 million and $74.6 million
of minority equity interest at December 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The decrease in real estate assets at MV LLC in 2008 is
primarily due to the application of $25.0 million in cash proceeds
received under a purchase price rebate letter of credit from the seller
of the Mervyns portfolio due to the retailer's bankruptcy filing during
the third quarter and approximately $35.3 million of non-cash
impairment charges recorded on these assets in the fourth quarter.
(B) Restricted cash includes $64.8 million at MV LLC at December 31, 2008.
The MV LLC restricted cash is comprised of $23.9 million received from
the seller of the Mervyns portfolio relating to Mervyns bankruptcy
filing in the third quarter, a $33.0 million net capital contribution
by the members of MV LLC, and $7.9 million related to a security
deposit letter of credit, all of which are required to be held in
escrow by the lender. Also included in restricted cash is $47.0
million and $59.0 million at December 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
relating to the terms of a bond issue for one of the Company's projects
in Mississippi.
