AMB Property Corporation®
Net income available to common stockholders per fully diluted share ("EPS") for the third quarter of 2009 was $0.43, as compared to $0.24 for the same quarter in 2008.
Owned and Managed Portfolio Operating Results
AMB's operating portfolio was 91.0 percent occupied at September 30, 2009, up 50 basis points from June 30, 2009. Average occupancy during the quarter was 90.4 percent, compared to 95.3 percent for the same period in 2008. Cash basis same store net operating income ("SS NOI"), without the effects of lease termination fees, decreased 7.0 percent in the third quarter from the comparable period, driven primarily by a combination of lower than average same store occupancies and rent changes on rollovers. For the trailing four quarters ended September 30, 2009, average rent change on renewals and rollovers in AMB's operating portfolio decreased 3.9 percent.
Leasing Activity
During the third quarter of 2009, the company commenced leases of approximately 9.9 million square feet (915,300 square meters) in its global operating portfolio. In its development pipeline, the company leased more than 935,000 square feet (approximately 86,900 square meters).
Disposition Activities
As of September 30, 2009, the company has completed property dispositions and contributions of $670 million, with a stabilized capitalization rate of 6.7 percent.
During the third quarter, the company completed dispositions totaling $209 million, with gains of approximately $60 million and a 6.2 percent capitalization rate, consisting of the following:
-- The sale of three development and value-added conversion properties in
the Americas for an aggregate price of $145 million and an average
margin of 46.9 percent;
-- The sale of four properties from its U.S. operating portfolio for an
aggregate sales price of $32 million; and
-- The transfer of two assets to AMB Alliance Fund III in exchange for
additional units equal to the fair value of the assets, for an
aggregate price of $33 million, increasing its ownership interest in
the fund to 22.7 percent from 19.3 percent.
"We have addressed two of the company's main priorities: strengthening our balance sheet and reducing our cost structure. The improvements and progress we have made in our business, over the last nine months, have allowed us to successfully navigate the downturn," said Hamid R. Moghadam, chairman & CEO. "We are now working on a number of initiatives to take advantage of opportunities as the global economy rebounds."
Financing Activities
For the nine months ending September 30, 2009, AMB has completed approximately $1.1 billion of debt repayments, repurchases and extensions, with approximately $122 million during the third quarter.
As of September 30, 2009, the company's share of total debt to share of total assets was 43 percent, which includes its share of joint venture debt. The company's liquidity was approximately $1.3 billion, consisting of $1.1 billion of availability on its lines of credit and approximately $201 million of cash.
Subsequent to quarter end and as previously announced, AMB refinanced its $325 million senior unsecured term loan facility, which was set to mature in September 2010, upsizing it to a $345 million facility, maturing October 2012. The facility now includes Euro and Yen tranches and carries a current interest rate of 275 basis points over the applicable LIBOR index.
"The lending environment has improved for stronger and more liquid borrowers, which has been an advantage to us given our solid balance sheet, liquidity position and lender relationships," said Thomas S. Olinger, AMB's chief financial officer. "We remain very well-positioned to address our financial obligations well in advance of their contractual maturities."
Investment Activity
AMB's global development pipeline at quarter end, which included investments held through unconsolidated joint ventures, totaled more than 6.8 million square feet (635,900 square meters) scheduled for delivery through 2010, with an estimated total investment cost of $547 million. As of September 30, 2009, the company's share of the projected remaining cash to fund the completion of its development pipeline was reduced to $54 million.
FFO Guidance
The company narrowed and increased its previous full-year 2009 FFO guidance to $1.45 to $1.46 per share, without recognition of gains from development activities, non-cash impairment charges or restructuring charges. The full-year EPS guidance is a loss of $0.29 to $0.30 per share. The company will provide details of its outlook for 2010 guidance during its third quarter earnings conference call.
Supplemental Earnings Measures
Included in the footnotes to the company's attached financial statements is a discussion of why management believes FFO, FFOPS and FFO, excluding impairment charges and restructuring charges (the "FFO Measures") are useful supplemental measures of operating performance, ways in which investors might use the FFO Measures when assessing the company's financial performance and the FFO Measures' limitations as a measurement tool. Reconciliation from net income available to common stockholders to the FFO Measures are provided in the attached tables and published in the company's quarterly supplemental analyst package, available on the company's website at www.amb.com.
AMB defines net operating income ("NOI") as rental revenues, including reimbursements, less property operating expenses. NOI excludes depreciation, amortization, general and administrative expenses, restructuring charges, real estate impairment losses, development profits (losses), gains (losses) from sale or contribution of real estate interests, and interest expense. AMB believes that net income, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, NOI is a useful supplemental measure calculated to help investors understand AMB's operating performance, excluding the effects of costs and expenses which are not related to the performance of the assets. NOI is widely used by the real estate industry as a useful supplemental measure, which helps investors compare AMB's operating performance with that of other companies. Real estate impairment losses have been excluded in deriving NOI because AMB does not consider its impairment losses to be a property operating expense. AMB believes that the exclusion of impairment losses from NOI is a common methodology used in the real estate industry. Real estate impairment losses relate to the changing values of AMB's assets but do not reflect the current operating performance of the assets with respect to their revenues or expenses. AMB's real estate impairment losses are non-cash charges which represent the write down in the value of assets when estimated fair value over the holding period is lower than current carrying value. The impairment charges were principally a result of increases in estimated capitalization rates and deterioration in market conditions that adversely impacted underlying real estate values. Therefore, the impairment charges are not related to the current performance of AMB's real estate operations and should be excluded from its calculation of NOI.
AMB considers cash-basis same store net operating income ("SS NOI") to be a useful supplemental measure of our operating performance for properties that are considered part of the same store pool. AMB defines SS NOI as NOI on a same store basis excluding straight line rents and amortization of lease intangibles. Same store pool includes all properties that are owned as of the end of both the current and prior year reporting periods and excludes development properties for both the current and prior reporting periods. The same store pool is set annually and excludes properties purchased and developments stabilized after December 31, 2007. AMB considers SS NOI to be an appropriate and useful supplemental performance measure because it reflects the operating performance of the real estate portfolio excluding effects of non-cash adjustments and provides a better measure of actual cash basis rental growth for a year-over-year comparison. In addition, AMB believes that SS NOI helps investors compare the operating performance of AMB's real estate as compared to other companies. While SS NOI is a relevant and widely used measure of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, it does not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to those measures in evaluating our liquidity or operating performance. SS NOI also does not reflect general and administrative expenses, interest expenses, real estate impairment losses, depreciation and amortization costs, capital expenditures and leasing costs, or trends in development and construction activities that could materially impact our results from operations. Further, AMB's computation of SS NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating SS NOI. A reconciliation from net income to SS NOI is provided below (dollars in thousands) and published in AMB's quarterly supplemental analyst package, available on AMB's website at www.amb.com.

(1) Funds From Operations ("FFO"), Funds From Operations Per Share and Unit ("FFOPS") and FFO, excluding impairment and restructuring charges (together with FFO and FFOPS, the "FFO Measures"). AMB believes that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, AMB considers funds from operations, or FFO, FFO per share and unit, or FFOPS, and FFO, excluding impairment and restructuring charges, to be useful supplemental measures of its operating performance. AMB defines FFOPS as FFO per fully diluted weighted average share of AMB's common stock and operating partnership units. AMB calculates FFO as net income available to common stockholders, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, less gains (or losses) from dispositions of real estate held for investment purposes and real estate-related depreciation, and adjustments to derive AMB's pro rata share of FFO of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures.
Unless stated otherwise, AMB includes the gains from development, including those from value-added conversion projects, before depreciation recapture, as a component of FFO. AMB believes gains from development should be included in FFO to more completely reflect the performance of one of our lines of business. AMB believes that value-added conversion dispositions are in substance land sales and as such should be included in FFO, consistent with the real estate investment trust industry's long standing practice to include gains on the sale of land in FFO. However, AMB's interpretation of FFO or FFOPS may not be consistent with the views of others in the real estate investment trust industry, who may consider it to be a divergence from the NAREIT definition, and may not be comparable to FFO or FFOPS reported by other real estate investment trusts that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than AMB does. In connection with the formation of a joint venture, AMB may warehouse assets that are acquired with the intent to contribute these assets to the newly formed venture. Some of the properties held for contribution may, under certain circumstances, be required to be depreciated under U.S. GAAP. If this circumstance arises, AMB intends to include in its calculation of FFO gains or losses related to the contribution of previously depreciated real estate to joint ventures. Although such a change, if instituted, will be a departure from the current NAREIT definition, AMB believes such calculation of FFO will better reflect the value created as a result of the contributions. To date, AMB has not included gains or losses from the contribution of previously depreciated warehoused assets in FFO.
In addition to presenting FFO as described above, AMB presents FFO, excluding impairment and restructuring charges. AMB calculates FFO, excluding impairment and restructuring charges, as FFO less impairment and restructuring charges and adjustments to derive AMB's share of impairment charges from consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. To the extent that the book value of a land parcel or development asset exceeded the fair market value of a property, based on its intended holding period, a non-cash impairment charge was recognized for the shortfall. The impairment charges were principally a result of increases in estimated capitalization rates and deterioration in market conditions that adversely impacted values. The restructuring charges reflected costs associated with AMB's reduction in global headcount and cost structure. Although difficult to predict, these charges may be recurring given the uncertainty of the current economic climate and its adverse effects on the real estate markets. While not infrequent or unusual in nature, these charges are subject to market fluctuations that can have inconsistent effects on AMB's results of operations. The economics underlying these charges reflect market conditions in the short-term but can obscure the value of AMB's long-term investment decisions and strategies. Management believes FFO, excluding impairment and restructuring charges, is significant and useful to both it and its investors because it more appropriately reflects the value and strength of AMB's business model and its potential performance isolated from the volatility of the current economic environment. However, in addition to the limitations of FFO Measures generally discussed below, FFO, excluding impairment and restructuring charges, does not present a comprehensive measure of AMB's financial condition and operating performance. This measure is a modification of the NAREIT definition of FFO and should not be considered a replacement of FFO as AMB defines it or used as an alternative to net income or cash as defined by U.S. GAAP.
AMB believes that the FFO Measures are meaningful supplemental measures of its operating performance because historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with U.S. GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time, as reflected through depreciation and amortization expenses. However, since real estate values have historically risen or fallen with market and other conditions, many industry investors and analysts have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient. Thus, the FFO Measures are supplemental measures of operating performance for real estate investment trusts that exclude historical cost depreciation and amortization, among other items, from net income available to common stockholders, as defined by U.S. GAAP. AMB believes that the use of the FFO Measures, combined with the required U.S. GAAP presentations, has been beneficial in improving the understanding of operating results of real estate investment trusts among the investing public and making comparisons of operating results among such companies more meaningful. AMB considers the FFO Measures to be useful measures for reviewing comparative operating and financial performance because, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets and real estate depreciation and amortization, the FFO Measures can help the investing public compare the operating performance of a company's real estate between periods or as compared to other companies. While FFO and FFOPS are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, the FFO Measures do not represent cash flow from operations or net income as defined by U.S. GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to those measures in evaluating AMB's liquidity or operating performance. The FFO Measures also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to AMB's real estate assets nor are the FFO Measures necessarily indicative of cash available to fund AMB's future cash requirements. Management compensates for the limitations of the FFO Measures by providing investors with financial statements prepared according to U.S. GAAP, along with this detailed discussion of the FFO Measures and a reconciliation of the FFO Measures to net income available to common stockholders, a U.S. GAAP measurement.
See Consolidated Statements of Funds from Operations for a reconciliation of FFO from net income available to common stockholders.
The following table reconciles projected FFO from projected net income available to common stockholders for the year ended December 31, 2009:

Projected net (loss) income available to common
stockholders $(0.30) $(0.29)
AMB's share of projected depreciation and
amortization 1.30 1.30
AMB's share of projected gains on disposition of
operating properties recognized to date (0.23) (0.23)
Impact of additional dilutive securities, other,
rounding (0.03) (0.03)
----- -----
Projected Funds From Operations (FFO) $0.74 $0.75
===== =====
AMB's share of non-cash impairment charges 1.32 1.32
Restructuring charges 0.03 0.03
AMB's share of development gains recognized to date (0.64) (0.64)
----- -----
Projected FFO, excluding AMB's share of non-cash
impairment charges, restructuring charges and
development gains(3) $1.45 $1.46
===== =====
Amounts are expressed per share, except FFO and FFO, excluding AMB's share of non-cash impairment charges, restructuring charges and development gains, which is expressed per share and unit.
(2) Represents amount of FFO allocated to outstanding unvested restricted shares. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, there were 920 unvested restricted shares. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2008, there were 905 unvested restricted shares.
(3) As development gains are difficult to predict in the current economic environment, management believes Projected FFO, excluding AMB's share of non-cash impairment charges, restructuring charges and development gains is the more appropriate and useful measure to reflect its assessment of AMB's projected operating performance.
