| Net loss allocated to common shares totaled $2.8 million or ($0.03) per diluted share in the first quarter of 2009 compared to net income of $10.9 million or $0.13 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008. The first quarter of 2009 included $6.6 million of gains on the early extinguishment of debt, a $3.7 million provision for the impairment of real estate and $2.9 million of incremental credit reserves, while the first quarter of 2008 included $2.6 million of gains on the early extinguishment of debt and $11.0 million of income attributable to discontinued operations. | ||
| Funds from operations available to common shares and units (FFO) in the first quarter of 2009 totaled $50.5 million ($54.2 million excluding the $3.7 million impairment charge) or $0.55 per diluted share ($0.60 per diluted share excluding the impairment charge) compared to $60.5 million or $0.67 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008. Our first quarter 2009 FFO payout ratio was 54.5% ($0.30 common share dividend paid / $0.55 FFO per share) or 50.0% excluding the impairment charge. | ||
| In the first quarter of 2009, we incurred $8.5 million of revenue maintaining capital expenditures which along with our other adjustments to FFO, resulted in $43.9 million of cash available for distribution (CAD) or $0.48 per diluted share compared to $46.4 million of CAD or $0.51 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008 when we incurred $6.8 million of revenue maintaining capital expenditures. Our first quarter 2009 CAD payout ratio was 62.5% ($0.30 common share dividend paid / $0.48 CAD per share). |
| In the first quarter of 2009, our net operating income (NOI) excluding termination revenues and other income items increased 0.3% on a GAAP basis and 5.6% on a cash basis for our 233 same store properties which were 91.2% and 93.2% occupied on March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008, respectively. | ||
| During the first quarter of 2009, we completed 717,986 square feet of total leasing activity including 510,285 square feet of renewals, 118,223 square feet of new leases and 89,478 square feet of tenant expansions. We achieved a 78.1% retention rate in our core portfolio with negative net absorption of 50,099 square feet excluding 21,328 square feet of early terminations and 178,641 square feet of tenant bankruptcies, or 62.0% including these items. During the first quarter of 2009, we achieved an 11.2% increase on our renewal rental rates and a 6.5% decrease on our new lease and expansion rental rates, both on a GAAP basis. | ||
| At March 31, 2009, our core portfolio (excluding four recently completed but not yet stabilized developments) was 91.2% occupied and 92.0% leased (reflecting leases commencing after March 31, 2009). With these four developments included, our core portfolio was 89.3% occupied and 91.6% leased at March 31, 2009. We owned 245 properties at March 31, 2009, encompassing 237 |

core properties aggregating 23.8 million square feet and eight development/ redevelopment properties aggregating 2.3 million square feet. |
| In the first quarter of 2009, we sold three properties in two transactions, generating $10.1 million of gross consideration and $0.2 million of gains. Subsequent to quarter end, we closed a $26.5 million sale of a single property bringing year to date sales to $36.6 million, or just over 20% of our $180 million 2009 sales goal. Net of transaction costs and a twelve month $1.0 million seller financing on one of the smaller sales, we realized $33.5 million of aggregate net proceeds from these sales which we used for debt repayments and other general corporate purposes. We currently have approximately $135 million of transactions in active discussions with $85 million of that under firm contract. We have many other properties in earlier stages of marketing or in initial bid solicitation and remain confident that we will meet or exceed our 2009 sales target. | ||
| At March 31, 2009, we were proceeding on two developments and six redevelopments with total project costs of $440.7 million of which a total of $276.5 million remained to be funded $161.2 million in 2009 and $115.3 million in 2010. These amounts include $355.5 million of total project costs for the combined 30th Street Post Office (100% leased to the Internal Revenue Service) and Cira South Garage (94.3% leased to the Internal Revenue Service) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of which $257.2 million remained to be funded at March 31, 2009. We are also finishing the lease-up of the four recently completed developments for which we expect to spend up to an additional $35.6 million, all in 2009. |
| During the first quarter of 2009, we repurchased a total of $34.9 million of our unsecured senior notes maturing in 2009, 2010 and 2011 (our exchangeable notes due 2026 with a put date in October 2011) in open-market transactions and completed a tender for $40.3 million of our 2009 Notes ($28.4 million of which are being held along with $4.1 million of prior open-market repurchases of these notes in an escrow account until the November 2009 maturity), generating aggregate gains of $6.6 million on the early extinguishment of debt. | ||
| At March 31, 2009, our net debt to gross assets measured 50.6% compared to a peak of 54.3% at September 30, 2007, reflecting a $535.6 million reduction in our net debt over that eighteen-month period. At March 31, 2009, we had $389.5 million available for use and drawdown under our various credit facilities. | ||
| We achieved a 2.6 times interest coverage ratio for the quarter ended March 31, 2009, the same as we achieved for the quarter ended March 31, 2008. | ||
| Subsequent to quarter end, we closed an $89.8 million first mortgage financing on Two Logan Square, a 702,006 square foot, 99.1% leased, class A, office tower in Philadelphia, PA. The loan features a 7.57% rate and a seven-year term with three years of interest only payments followed by a thirty-year amortization schedule. $68.6 million of the proceeds was used to repay without penalty the balance of the former Two Logan first mortgage loan and $21.2 million was used for general corporate purposes including the repayment of existing indebtedness. |
