Kite Realty Group Trust Reports Third Quarter 2009 Results

Kite Realty Group Trust (NYSE: KRG) (the "Company”) today announced results for its third quarter ended September 30, 2009. Financial statements and exhibits attached to this release include results for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.

Financial and Operating Results

For the three months ended September 30, 2009, funds from operations (FFO), a widely accepted supplemental measure of REIT performance established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, were $2.8 million for the Kite Portfolio, or $0.04 per diluted share. Results for the quarter were reduced by a non-cash impairment charge of $5.4 million, or $0.08 per diluted share. Excluding the effect of this charge, FFO for the Kite Portfolio was $8.2 million, or $0.12 per diluted share. FFO for the Kite Portfolio was $12.0 million, or $0.32 per share, in the third quarter of 2008. The decrease in diluted FFO per share between years was primarily a result of the dilution from the issuance of 28.8 million shares in the Company’s May common share offering, the impairment charge, lower construction activity of $1.0 million and lower gains on sales of land and outlot parcels of $2.5 million.

In the third quarter of 2009, as part of its regular quarterly review, the Company determined that it was appropriate to write off the net book value on the Galleria Plaza operating property in Dallas, Texas and recognize a non-cash impairment charge of $5.4 million. The Company’s estimate of future cash flows, which considers recent negative property-specific events, are anticipated to be insufficient to cover costs due to significant ground lease obligations and expected future required capital expenditures. The Company leases the ground on which the property is situated and currently intends to turn over the operations of the center to the ground lessor which will increase the Company’s annual cash flows by approximately $700,000. The non-cash impairment has no effect on the Company’s liquidity and there is no mortgage on the property.

FFO allocable to the Company for the third quarter of 2009 was $2.5 million, or $7.3 million excluding the impairment charge, compared to $9.3 million for the same period of the prior year.

The Company’s total revenue for the third quarter of 2009 was $25.9 million, down from $34.3 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily a result of lower construction activity ($4.7 million) and lower gains on sales of land and outlot parcels ($2.5 million). Including the impairment charge, the Company recorded a net loss of $3.4 million for the third quarter of 2009, compared to net income of $2.9 million in the prior year. The decline reflects the Company’s share of the impairment charge of $4.6 million and lower construction activity and gains on land and outlot sales, offset by the Company’s share of a non-cash gain of $0.8 million recorded as a result of the consolidation of an operating property subsidiary.

The Company’s total revenue for the first nine months of 2009 was $86.5 million, down from $100.9 million for the same period in 2008. This decrease was primarily a result of lower gains on sales of land and outlot parcels ($6.8 million) and lower construction activity ($5.4 million). The Company’s net loss was $2.4 million for the first nine months of 2009, compared to net income of $8.1 million in the same period of 2008. The decline reflects the impairment charge and lower gains on land and outlot sales and construction activity, offset by the Company’s share of the non-cash gain recorded as a result of the consolidation of the operating property subsidiary.

John A. Kite, Kite Realty Group’s Chairman and Chief Executive Officer said, "Our leasing group produced another solid quarter and we continue to see positive activity from tenants at our well located centers. On a capital front, we ended the third quarter in a strong liquidity position with over $100 million of cash and availability under the credit facility. We are also pleased to have extended or refinanced all 2009 maturities, and we have made good progress on 2010 maturities. ”

Operating Portfolio

As of September 30, 2009, the Company owned interests in 51 retail operating properties totaling approximately 7.9 million square feet. The owned gross leasable area ("GLA”) in the Company’s retail operating portfolio was 90.8% leased as of September 30, 2009, compared to 90.7% leased as of the end of the prior quarter.

In addition, the Company owns four commercial operating properties totaling 499,221 square feet. As of September 30, 2009, the owned net rentable area of the commercial operating portfolio was unchanged from the prior quarter at 95.2% leased. For the combined retail and commercial operating portfolio, the leased percentage was 91.2% as of September 30, 2009, compared to 91.1% at the end of the prior quarter.

On a same property basis, the leased percentage of the Company’s 52 operating properties was 91.2% at September 30, 2009 and 92.3% at September 30, 2008. Same property net operating income for these properties decreased 2.1% in the third quarter of 2009 compared to the same period in the prior year. The majority of this decrease is attributed to three junior anchor vacancies, including two former Circuit City locations. On a year to date basis, same property net operating income has decreased 2.7% and is within the Company’s previously disclosed range of expectations.

Leasing Activities

During the third quarter of 2009, the Company executed 25 new and renewal leases totaling 130,000 square feet. New leases were signed with 14 tenants for approximately 77,000 square feet of GLA. These leases represent a negative 2.8% cash rent spread. A total of 11 leases for 53,000 square feet were renewed during the quarter. Rental rates for these renewals were approximately 0.5% above previous rents with the Company committing only $2.88 per square foot of tenant improvements as part of these renewals.

The Company is currently in various stages of negotiations for 25 new and renewal leases with tenants for a total of approximately 200,000 square feet.

Capital Activities

The Company has satisfied all of its 2009 debt maturities including the retirement with cash of a $15.8 million loan on Ridge Plaza, an A&P Grocery-anchored shopping center in Oak Ridge, New Jersey. The Company anticipates securing this property with mortgage debt with a commercial bank for a seven year term and the cash proceeds are expected to be used to address 2010 maturities. In October, the Company retired with cash the $11.8 million loan on Boulevard Crossing. Both unencumbered properties were contributed to the Company’s line of credit collateral pool thus increasing the availability under the facility.

During the third quarter, the Company extended its loan on Bridgewater Marketplace from June 2010 to June 2013 and paid down the balance of the loan by approximately $1.2 million to $7.0 million.

Development Activities

As of September 30, 2009, the Company owned interests in two projects in the current development pipeline that are expected to total approximately 323,000 owned square feet. The total estimated cost of these projects is approximately $82 million, of which approximately $68 million had been incurred as of September 30, 2009. The majority of the remaining costs to complete will be funded through existing construction loans on each project. The Company also has five properties in its redevelopment pipeline representing a total of approximately 494,000 square feet at an estimated total cost of $11.5 million.

The first retail tenants opened for business at Phase I of Eddy Street Commons in September. As of the end of the third quarter, this development was 72% leased or committed.

Tenants continue to open at Cobblestone Plaza, including a 12,000 square foot Party City store. The Company is in late stage negotiations for a replacement anchor tenant for this property.

Distributions

On September 15, 2009, the Board of Trustees declared a quarterly cash distribution of $0.06 per common share for the quarter ended September 30, 2009 to shareholders of record as of October 7, 2009. This distribution was paid on October 16, 2009. The Board of Trustees continues to evaluate current economic and market conditions and anticipates declaring a quarterly cash distribution for the quarter ending December 31, 2009 later in the fourth quarter.

FFO Guidance

The Company is reaffirming its earnings and FFO guidance excluding impairment charges for the year ending December 31, 2009 in a range $0.57 to $0.61 per diluted share. Following is a reconciliation of net (loss) income per common share to diluted FFO per share:

Guidance Range for 2009

Low   High
Net (loss) income per diluted share $ (0.04 ) $ 0.00
Depreciation and amortization of consolidated entities 0.53 0.53
Depreciation and amortization of unconsolidated entities   0.00     0.00
FFO per diluted share $ 0.49 $ 0.53
Non-cash impairment charge   0.08     0.08
FFO per diluted share excluding impairment charge $ 0.57   $ 0.61

Funds From Operations

The Company’s business is the ownership, operation and management of real estate. It believes that Funds From Operations (FFO) is helpful to investors when measuring operating performance because it excludes various items that are considered in the determination of net income that do not relate to or are not indicative of operating performance, such as gains or losses from sales of operating properties and depreciation and amortization, which can make periodic and peer analyses of operating performance more difficult. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is included in the attached table.

Earnings Conference Call

Management will host a conference call on Friday, November 6, 2009 at 1:00 p.m. EDT to discuss financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2009. A live webcast of the conference call will be available online on the Company’s corporate website at www.kiterealty.com. The dial-in numbers are (888) 679-8033 for domestic callers and (617) 213-4846 for international callers (passcode 70830031). In addition, a telephonic replay of the call will be available until February 6, 2010. The replay dial-in telephone numbers are (888) 286-8010 for domestic callers and (617) 801-6888 for international callers (passcode 53209736).
