DUKE REALTY CORPORATION REPORTS

SECOND QUARTER RESULTS

Liquidity Position Further Enhanced to Address Debt Maturities;

Earnings Guidance Reaffirmed

(INDIANAPOLIS, July 29, 2009) – Duke Realty Corporation (NYSE: DRE), a leading industrial and office property REIT, today reported results for the second quarter 2009.

Operating Highlights

 

   

Funds from operations per diluted share (“FFO”) was $0.29 for the quarter, which includes the effects of $18.7 million of impairment and other non-cash charges and $1.5 million of gains on repurchases of unsecured bonds. Without the effects of these non-cash items, FFO for the quarter was $0.37, in line with expectations.

 

   

Liquidity position further enhanced during the quarter:

 

   

$575.0 million raised in sale of 75.2 million shares of common stock in follow-on public offering closed April 21, 2009;

 

   

$114.0 million in secured financing closed on July 16, 2009;

 

   

$73.3 million in cash generated from property and land sales;

 

   

$21.5 million par value of unsecured debt obligations repurchased at a discount.

 

   

Capital raised through July 2009 exceeded $970.0 million; anticipate capital raised in 2009 in excess of $1.2 billion upon closing of $280.0 million of secured debt financing in third quarter.

 

   

2009 FFO guidance reaffirmed: $1.42 – $1.64 per share as adjusted for the additional shares issued in the April 2009 common stock offering ($1.85 – $2.15 per share pre-offering).

“We are pleased that we have been able to raise nearly $1 billion of capital to date in 2009,” said Dennis D. Oklak, chairman and chief executive officer.

“We are focused on using funds to reduce leverage. We are on track with our capital plan and, as of mid-July, have a zero balance outstanding on our credit facility.”

Financial Performance

 

   

FFO for the second quarter of 2009 was $0.29 (including $0.13 per share dilution resulting from the company’s common offering in April), compared to $0.59 for the second quarter of 2008. Second quarter 2009 FFO includes impairments and other non-cash charges of $18.7 million ($0.09 per share), partially offset by $1.5 million ($0.01 per share) of gains on the repurchase of unsecured debt obligations. Excluding the impact of these non-cash items, FFO would have been $0.37 for the second quarter of 2009.

 

   

Net income per diluted share (EPS) for the second quarter 2009 was a loss of $0.16, as compared to earnings of $0.11 for the same quarter in 2008. The loss was primarily attributable to impairment charges incurred and higher depreciation expense recognized in the second quarter of 2009.

Financing Update

The company announced the following transactions which, in the aggregate, have or will add additional liquidity and strengthen the company’s balance sheet:

 

   

Completion on April 21, 2009, of an underwritten public offering of 75,210,000 shares of the company’s common stock at a price per share of $7.65. The offering raised $575.0 million ($551.9 million of net proceeds), which the company used to repay outstanding borrowings under its unsecured line of credit and for general corporate purposes.

 

   

Completion of a $114.0 million, 10-year secured debt financing on July 16, 2009. The loan is secured by a portfolio of suburban office and industrial assets.

 

   

Execution of a commitment letter in July for a $280.0 million 7-year secured loan. The loan, subject to closing, will be secured by suburban office and industrial assets. The company anticipates the closing of this loan in the third quarter of 2009. The company is also actively discussing additional secured debt financing, which the company believes may generate proceeds in the range of $75 million to $100 million in 2009. To the extent that such financing is finalized, it also would be secured by a geographically diverse portfolio of suburban office and industrial assets.

As of June 30, 2009, the company had $5.9 billion of in-service, unencumbered assets in its portfolio.

 

   

Repurchase of $21.5 million in outstanding unsecured debt that was scheduled to mature in 2010 and 2011. Year to date, the company has repurchased $191.0 million par value of unsecured debt maturing at various dates from 2009 through 2011 for $150.0 million at an average discount of 21.5 percent.

Portfolio Performance

 

   

Overall portfolio occupancy, including projects under development, was 87.4 percent as of June 30, 2009, compared to 87.3 percent at March 31, 2009.

 

   

Stabilized, in-service properties (128 million square feet) were 88.5 percent leased at June 30, 2009, compared with 89.7 percent at March 31, 2009. This decrease is attributable to the addition of 11 recently developed properties aggregating 3.3 million square feet which were 42 percent leased at June 30, 2009. The company classifies a property as stabilized upon the earlier of its reaching 90% occupancy or one year after its in-service date. The decrease in stabilized occupancy as a result of these newly developed assets was anticipated by the company.

 

   

Tenant retention for the second quarter of 2009 was 81.9 percent, with growth in net effective rents on renewals of 3.1 percent.

 

   

Same store net operating income decreased by 1.6 percent for the second quarter of 2009, compared with the three-month period ended June 30, 2008. Same store net operating income increased by approximately 1.6 percent for the 12-month period ended June 30, 2009, compared with the 12-month period ended June 30, 2008.

Real Estate Investment Activity

Development

Wholly Owned Properties

 

   

The company’s wholly owned development pipeline at June 30, 2009, consists mostly of projects that are in the final stages of completion. The total estimated costs of these projects upon stabilization are $297.1 million, with $130.0 million in remaining costs to be funded. The pipeline is comprised of 13 properties (1.7 million square feet), which are 89 percent pre-leased.

The company began only one project during the quarter: an expansion of a bulk distribution facility in Phoenix which is 100% leased and scheduled for contribution to a joint venture upon completion in the second half of 2009.

 

   

The company placed into service three healthcare properties (242,000 square feet), of which two were 100% leased and one was 10% leased upon completion.

Joint Venture Properties

 

   

The company’s joint venture development pipeline at June 30, 2009, consists mostly of projects that are in the final stages of completion. The total estimated costs of these projects upon stabilization are $339.5 million, with $118.0 million in remaining costs to be funded. The pipeline is comprised of 3 properties (1.1 million square feet), which are 26 percent pre-leased. Each joint venture has obtained third-party debt to finance construction of these properties. (All joint venture costs and square footage are reported at 100 percent ownership.)

 

   

Two speculative industrial assets were placed in service during the quarter: a 503,000 square foot bulk industrial property in the Dugan Realty joint venture and a 533,000 square foot bulk industrial building in the AllPoints Midwest joint venture. Neither property is leased.

Acquisitions

The company acquired two industrial properties aggregating 450,000 square feet near the Port of Savannah, Georgia. These properties are 100% leased.

Dispositions

 

   

During the quarter, the company completed the disposition of five assets, including three properties contributed to the company’s joint venture with CB Richard Ellis Realty Trust. The company realized gross proceeds of $65.8 million at an aggregate capitalization rate of 9.0%.

 

   

The company sold approximately 30 acres of undeveloped land that no longer met its growth objectives. These sales generated gross proceeds of $7.5 million.

Real Estate Valuation – Impairment and Other Charges

During the second quarter of 2009, the company recorded impairment and other charges for the quarter of $18.7 million, pertaining to certain land parcels sold or held for sale ($4.6 million), properties sold or held for sale ($7.4 million), and investments in joint ventures ($6.7 million). These charges were the result of increases in estimated capitalization rates and changes in market conditions that negatively affected values. These non-cash charges have no effect on liquidity, and have no impact on compliance with the company’s credit facility or unsecured bond covenants.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative expenses for the second quarter aggregated $13.6 million, compared with $6.9 million for the same period in 2008. The second quarter 2009 expenses include approximately $3.5 million of severance payments resulting from a reduction in workforce during the quarter. Year to date non-recurring severance costs included in general and administrative expenses totaled $6.1 million.

As a result of current economic conditions, the company’s workforce has been reduced approximately 26 percent since the beginning of 2008 and most development activities have been curtailed.

Dividends Declared

The company’s board of directors has declared a quarterly cash dividend on the company’s common stock of $0.17 per share, or $0.68 per share on an annualized basis. The second quarter dividend will be payable August 31, 2009, to shareholders of record as of August 14, 2009. The company’s policy is to pay aggregate annual dividends in 2009 in an amount generally equal to and not to exceed its annual taxable income.

The board also declared the following dividends on the company’s outstanding preferred stock:

Earnings Guidance Reaffirmed

The company reaffirmed FFO guidance for 2009 of $1.42 – $1.64 per share, as adjusted for the additional shares issued in the April 2009 common stock offering ($1.85 – $2.15 per share pre-offering). Based upon current expectations of leasing volumes, tenant delinquencies and other economic conditions for the rest of 2009, it is anticipated that FFO per share will be at the lower end of guidance. Guidance excludes the effects of impairment and other non-cash charges and gains on the repurchase of the company’s securities.
