“Duke Realty had a solid quarter operationally with portfolio occupancy increasing to 88.9 percent and execution of over 8.5 million square feet of leases, which was our best leasing quarter in terms of volume since the third quarter of 2007,” said Dennis D.

Tenant retention rate was 78.5 percent for the quarter.

 

   

Over 8.5 million square feet of leases were executed during the quarter.

2010 Core FFO guidance is being updated to $1.11 to $1.15 per share from previously announced $0.95 - $1.15 per share.

Financial Performance

 

   

Core FFO for the third quarter was $0.30 compared with $0.32 for the third quarter of 2009. The change is primarily attributable to an increase in the company’s weighted average share count resulting from its June 2010 common equity offering. FFO as defined by NAREIT was $0.50 for the third quarter 2010 and a loss of ($1.02) for the third quarter 2009.

Included in the $0.50 per share for 2010 is $57.5 million ($0.22 per share) associated with a net gain on the acquisition of our joint venture partner’s 50% interest in Dugan, and a $5.7 million ($0.02 per share) reduction from adjustments related to the repurchase of preferred stock in the open market. Included in the 2009 third quarter FFO loss of $1.02 were non-cash impairment and related charges of $297.1 million ($1.28 per share), and $13.6 million ($0.06 per share) of losses on debt transactions.

Net income per diluted share (EPS) for third quarter 2010 was $0.13, as compared to a loss of $1.44 for the same quarter in 2009. Third quarter 2010 EPS was positively impacted by the $57.5 million gain on the acquisition of our joint venture partner’s 50% interest in Dugan as noted above. The loss in 2009 was primarily attributable to the impairment and other non-cash charges and losses on debt transactions recognized in the third quarter of 2009.

Information Regarding FFO

The company computes FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before non-controlling interest and excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable property and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”); plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. The company believes FFO to be most directly comparable to net income as defined by GAAP. The company believes that FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (as defined by GAAP) as presented in the financial statements accompanying this release. FFO does not represent a measure of liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for the company’s cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions to shareholders. A reconciliation of net income and net income per share, as defined by GAAP, to FFO and FFO per share, as defined by NAREIT, is included in the financial information accompanying this release.

For information purposes, the company also provides FFO adjusted for certain items that are generally non-cash in nature and that materially distort the comparative measurement of company performance over time. The adjustments include impairment charges, tax expenses or benefits related to either changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances or changes in tax exposure accruals that were established as the result of the adoption of new accounting principles, gains (losses) on debt transactions, adjustments related to the repurchase of preferred stock and gains on and related costs of acquisitions. Although the calculation of Core FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real estate companies, the company believes it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance. A reconciliation of FFO as defined by NAREIT to Core FFO is included in the Financial Performance section of this release.
