Catellus Announces Second Quarter 2004 Results SAN FRANCISCO, July 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Catellus Development Corporation (NYSE:CDX) today reported earnings per fully diluted share ("EPS") for the second quarter of 2004 of $0.34, compared to $0.19 for the same period in 2003. EPS for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $0.65, compared to $0.42 for the same period in 2003. Net income for the second quarter of 2004 was $35.3 million, compared to $19.3 million for the same period in 2003. Net income for the six months ended June 30, 2004, was $67.4 million, compared to $42.7 million for the same period in 2003. The increase in net income for the second quarter of 2004 is due primarily to a significantly reduced tax expense resulting from the company's conversion to a real estate investment trust, effective January 1, 2004, and gain from the sale of desert land. "We are pleased with our financial performance during the quarter and encouraged by improving economic indicators in general. Interest in our non-core land is particularly strong, which we attribute to, in part, the economy's recovery combined with the increase of capital flows into the real estate sector," said Nelson C. Rising, Catellus' chairman and CEO. Rental Portfolio -- For the second quarter of 2004, rental revenue less property operating costs, including equity in earnings from operating joint ventures and before adjustments for discontinued operations, was $60.1 million, compared to $56.4 million for the same period in 2003. For the first half of the year, rental revenue less property operating costs, including equity in earnings from operating joint ventures and before adjustments for discontinued operations, was $118.3 million, compared to $114.1 million for the same period in 2003. -- At June 30, 2004, the rental portfolio totaled 41.4 million square feet, 90.3 percent of which is industrial property. This represents a net increase of approximately 1.4 million square feet from March 31, 2004. -- The total rental portfolio's occupancy rate at quarter end was 95.7 percent, unchanged from March 31, 2004, and compared to 94.4 percent at June 30, 2003. -- The industrial portfolio's occupancy rate at quarter end was 96.6 percent, compared to 96.4 percent at March 31, 2004, and 95.3 percent at June 30, 2003. -- Development properties completed and added to the rental portfolio during the quarter included three industrial buildings totaling 1.5 million square feet -- two facilities at Kaiser Commerce Center in Fontana, California, at 758,000 and 617,000 square feet, respectively; and a 117,000 square foot expansion of an existing distribution facility in Woodridge, Illinois. The three buildings are 100 percent leased and represent a total investment of $52.8 million with a projected return on cost of 10.6 percent. -- During the quarter, an 84,000 square foot industrial building was sold in Portland, Oregon, to a tenant exercising a purchase option. Development and Investment Activity -- At June 30 2004, Core Segment construction in progress was 2.2 million square feet. 905,000 square feet will be added to Catellus' rental portfolio upon completion; one million square feet is development for fee; and 338,000 square feet is included in a joint venture. (See below for a definition of Core Segment.) -- For the 905,000 square feet of space under construction that will be added to Catellus' rental portfolio upon completion, the projected total cost of development is approximately $72.2 million. These buildings are 13 percent preleased, and when fully leased, they are projected to yield a return on cost of approximately 11.6 percent. -- During the quarter, construction commenced on 837,000 square feet, consisting of a 362,000 square foot industrial building in Carteret, New Jersey; a 338,000 square foot facility at Los Angeles Air Force base that is being developed in a joint venture; and 137,000 square feet of retail space at Pacific Commons in Fremont, California. -- As previously announced, Catellus is developing a retail center at Pacific Commons in Fremont, California, which when completed and fully stabilized will total 730,000 square feet and generate approximately $10.3 million of rental revenue less property operating costs, or net operating income. At June 30, 2004, leases executed and leases out for signature together represented approximately 80 percent of the retail center's projected net operating income. (Reconciliation of net operating income is provided below.) Urban, Residential & Other -- During the quarter, 99,000 acres of California desert land was sold generating approximately $16 million of non-core gain. Virtually all of the company's desert land, which came from its railroad predecessor company, has now been sold. -- At June 30, 2004, the company had $63 million of non-core land sales under contract, and is in active negotiations on over $250 million of additional urban land. Supplemental Reporting Measure -- The company provides a supplemental performance measure of Funds From Operations ("FFO"), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), which Catellus believes provides a useful measure, along with GAAP net income, of its operating performance. (Reconciliation of FFO to net income is provided below.) -- Additionally, the company provides FFO in two segments: Core Segment and Urban, Residential, and Other Segment. The first segment, or Core Segment, reflects that part of Catellus' business it expects will be ongoing and central to its future operations. -- The second segment, or Urban, Residential, and Other Segment, reflects the company's urban and residential businesses, including residential lot development, urban development, and desert land sales, which the company intends to transition out of over time. This segment also includes REIT conversion costs, certain of which will continue for three years. These costs include third party costs, and the effects of the stock option exchange offer in 2003. -- In presenting FFO prior to beginning operations as a REIT (effective January 1, 2004), Catellus includes "hypothetical tax savings" (including the tax effects of the REIT conversion) that would have occurred had it been a REIT during the prior periods presented. -- FFO, including both segments as defined above, for the second quarter of 2004 was $54.8 million, compared to $41.2 million for the same period in 2003. FFO, including both segments as defined above, for the first half of 2004 was $101.3 million, compared to $86.2 million for the same period in 2003. -- Core Segment FFO for the second quarter of 2004 was $40.2 million, compared to $38.3 million for the same period in 2003. On a fully diluted basis, Core Segment FFO per share for the second quarter of 2004 was $0.39, compared to $0.38 for the same period in 2003. Core Segment FFO for the first half of 2004 was $86.5 million, compared to $77.0 million for the same period in 2003. On a fully diluted basis, Core Segment FFO per share for the first half of 2004 was $0.83, compared to $0.76 for the same period in 2003.
