Financial Performance

•Core FFO per share for the fourth quarter of $0.27 compared with $0.30 for the fourth quarter of 2011. The change is primarily attributable to short term dilution from our repositioning activities and lower income from service operations as the result of reduced third party construction fees in the fourth quarter of 2012 compared to 2011. Core FFO per share for the year ended 2012 was $1.02, compared with $1.15 for the year ended 2011. The change is also primarily attributable to short term dilution from our repositioning activities, a decrease in property and service operations income and increase in share count to fund development for the year ended 2012 over 2011. A reconciliation of FFO, as defined by NAREIT, to Core FFO is included in the financial tables included in this release.

•FFO as defined by NAREIT, of $0.25 compared with $0.24 for the fourth quarter of 2011 and $0.98 for the year, compared with $1.07 for the year ended 2011. Partially offsetting the impacts outlined in Core FFO above, FFO as defined by NAREIT was also reduced by impairment charges recognized during the fourth quarter of 2011. A reconciliation of FFO, as defined by NAREIT, to Core FFO is included in the financial tables included in this release.

•Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") for the fourth quarter of $0.21 compared with $0.20 for the fourth quarter of 2011. This increase in AFFO is attributable to our shift in asset mix from suburban office properties to bulk distribution which resulted in significant reductions in second generation capital expenditures that more than offset the temporary earnings dilution from our asset repositioning. AFFO per share for the year ended 2012 was $0.82, compared with $0.78 for the year ended 2011. Similarly, our shift in asset mix from suburban office properties to bulk distribution resulted in significant reduction in second generation capital expenditures contributing to this AFFO increase. A reconciliation of FFO, as defined by NAREIT, to AFFO is included in the financial tables included in this release.

•Net income per diluted share (EPS) for fourth quarter 2012 was ($0.12), as compared to $0.17 for the same quarter in 2011. EPS for the year was ($0.48) compared to a gain of $0.11 in 2011. Both fourth quarter and full year 2011 EPS were positively impacted by gains on sales of assets.
