The 2012 guidance reflects management’s view of current and future market conditions, including assumptions with respect to rental rates, occupancy levels, capital spend on new and redevelopment activities, and the earnings impact of the events referenced in this release and previously disclosed. The guidance also reflects management’s view of future capital market conditions, which is generally consistent with the current forward rates for LIBOR and U.S. Treasury bonds. The estimates do not include possible future gains or losses or the impact on operating results from other possible future property acquisitions or dispositions, possible capital markets activity or possible future impairment charges. The guidance takes into account the impact of all transactions that have already occurred, including the initial FFO dilution from the sale of the Company’s 49% interest in GCI. EPS estimates may be subject to fluctuations as a result of several factors, including changes in the recognition of depreciation and amortization expense and any gains or losses associated with disposition activity. By definition, FFO does not include real estate-related depreciation and amortization or gains or losses resulting from the sale of, or impairment charges relating to, previously depreciated operating properties. This guidance is a forward-looking statement and is subject to the risks and other factors described elsewhere in this release.

Simon Property Group, Inc. and Subsidiaries
Footnotes to Unaudited Reconciliation of Non-GAAP Financial Measures


Notes:  


(1)This report contains measures of financial or operating performance that are not specifically defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”), including funds from operations (“FFO”), FFO as adjusted, FFO per share and FFO as adjusted per share.  FFO is a performance measure that is standard in the REIT business.  We believe FFO provides investors with additional information concerning our operating performance and a basis to compare our performance with those of other REITs.  We also use these measures internally to monitor the operating performance of our portfolio.  As adjusted measures exclude the effect of certain debt-related charges.  We believe these measures provide investors with a basis to compare our current operating performance with previous periods in which we did not have those charges. Our computation of these non-GAAP measures may not be the same as similar measures reported by other REITs.



The Company determines FFO based upon the definition set forth by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). The Company determines FFO to be our share of consolidated net income computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items, excluding gains and losses from the sales of, or any impairment charges related to, previously depreciated operating properties, plus the allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis in accordance with GAAP.



The Company has adopted NAREIT’s clarification of the definition of FFO that requires it to include the effects of nonrecurring items not classified as extraordinary, cumulative effect of accounting changes, or a gain or loss resulting from the sale of, or any impairment charges relating to, previously depreciated operating properties. We include in FFO gains and losses realized from the sale of land, outlot buildings, marketable and non-marketable securities, and investment holdings of non-retail real estate. However, you should understand that FFO does not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.


(2)Includes the Company’s share of gains on land sales of $1.7 million and $2.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $6.2 million and $11.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


(3)Includes the Company’s share of straight-line adjustments to minimum rent of $11.0 million and $8.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $37.2 million and $32.1 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


(4)Includes the Company’s share of the amortization of fair market value of leases from acquisitions of $5.2 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $22.9 million and $19.9 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


(5)Includes the Company’s share of debt premium amortization of $3.0 million and $3.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, and $10.0 million and $12.7 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.


(6)Includes dividends and distributions on Series I preferred stock and Series I preferred units. All outstanding shares of Series I preferred stock and Series I preferred units were redeemed on April 16, 2010.
