(1) Adjusted FFO for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014 excludes charges related to the sale of seven centers to Starwood.

It was a productive quarter with solid results, said Robert S. Taubman, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Taubman Centers. Then in October, we were delighted with the very successful opening of University Town Center in Sarasota, Florida. We were also pleased to complete the Starwood transaction, which is transformational for the company.

With increased rents and recoveries and lower predevelopment expenses, our adjusted FFO grew by two cents in the quarter despite a tough comparison with last year, added Mr. Taubman. Last year the company received the final incentive fee for leasing IFC Mall in Seoul, South Korea. This year the company is also experiencing dilution from the January 2014 sales of Arizona Mills (Tempe, Ariz.) and a 49.9 percent interest in International Plaza (Tampa, Fla.). These items combined for nearly 10 cents of FFO during the third quarter of last year.

Operating Statistics

Comparable center NOI excluding lease cancellation income was up 2.5 percent in the quarter, bringing year-to-date growth to 3 percent. Excluding the companys assets that were sold to Starwood, comparable center NOI excluding lease cancellation income was up 2.8 percent in the quarter, and up 3.1 percent year-to-date.

Average rent per square foot for the quarter was $51.54, up 4.5 percent from $49.31 in the comparable period last year. Excluding the companys assets that were sold to Starwood, average rent per square foot for the quarter was $61.12, up 6.3 percent.

Trailing 12-month releasing spreads per square foot for the period ended September 30, 2014 were 22.3 percent. Excluding the companys assets that were sold to Starwood, spreads were 29.9 percent.

Excluding the companys assets that were sold to Starwood, mall tenant sales per square foot were up 0.2 percent from the third quarter of 2013. This brings the company's 12-month trailing mall tenant sales per square foot to $807, a 1 percent decline from the 12-months ended September 30, 2013.

Our releasing spreads were outstanding and although mall tenant sales per square foot were only modestly positive, we were encouraged by an acceleration throughout the quarter, said Mr. Taubman.

Excluding the companys assets that were sold to Starwood, ending occupancy in comparable centers was 94.1 percent, down 1.5 percent. This includes temporary tenants of 2.7 percent.

Sale of Seven Malls to Starwood Complete

In October, the company completed the previously announced sales of seven malls to Starwood. The sales are part of the companys ongoing strategy to recycle capital, maximize its NOI growth rate and create net asset value for investors over time. Total consideration, excluding transaction costs, was $1.403 billion. See Taubman Completes Sale of Seven Malls to Starwood Capital Group - Oct. 17, 2014.

The Mall at University Town Center Successfully Opened October 16, 2014

On October 16, 2014, the company held the grand opening of The Mall at University Town Center (UTC) (Sarasota, Fla.), the only newly built enclosed regional shopping center to open in the United States this year. The Mall at UTC, which is anchored by Saks Fifth Avenue, Macys and Dillards, opened over 90 percent leased. Well over half of the centers more than 100 retailers and restaurants are unique to the Sarasota-Manatee market.

The Mall at UTC is the focal point of the larger University Town Center Development that features additional retail, dining and hotels, with a world-class rowing competition facility located immediately adjacent to the mall. We have filled the tremendous void for upscale retail in the broader Sarasota market, said Mr. Taubman. See Shoppers Welcome Sarasotas Premier Shopping Destination - Oct. 16, 2014.

Ownership in Hanam Union Square Increased

In August, the company announced it increased its ownership in the Hanam Union Square project. Taubman Asia partnered with a major institution in Asia to acquire an additional 19 percent stake from Shinsegae Group. The new institutional partner owns 14.7 percent of the project, increasing Taubman Asias effective ownership from 30 percent to 34.3 percent. Collectively, the partnership has a 49 percent ownership interest. See Taubman Asia Announces Additional Partner and Ownership Increase in Hanam Union Square, South Korea - Aug. 26, 2014.

2014 Guidance

The company is changing its guidance for 2014 Adjusted FFO per diluted share to the range of $3.58 to $3.68 from the previous range of $3.72 to $3.82. This guidance now includes the impact of the companys sale of seven centers to Starwood, which the company estimates will reduce adjusted FFO by 14 cents. The companys Adjusted FFO guidance excludes charges related to the discontinuation of hedge accounting on the interest rate swap previously designated to hedge the MacArthur note payable, a restructuring charge, and disposition and debt extinguishment costs incurred related to the sale of centers to Starwood.

The companys 2014 FFO per diluted share guidance is $3.07 to $3.17 per share.

2014 EPS is expected to be in the range of $13.40 to $13.54. 2014 EPS includes $5.30 per share gains from the first quarter 2014 sales of the company's 50 percent interest in Arizona Mills, land in Syosset, New York, and a 49.9 percent interest in International Plaza. The range also includes the impact of the companys sale of seven centers to Starwood. The impact includes an estimated gain of approximately $600 million, or $6.65 per share, to be recognized in the fourth quarter of 2014.

(1)
Beneficial Interest in EBITDA represents the Operating Partnerships share of the earnings before interest, income taxes, and depreciation and amortization of its consolidated and unconsolidated businesses. The Company believes Beneficial Interest in EBITDA provides a useful indicator of operating performance, as it is customary in the real estate and shopping center business to evaluate the performance of properties on a basis unaffected by capital structure.
The Company uses Net Operating Income (NOI) as an alternative measure to evaluate the operating performance of centers, both on individual and stabilized portfolio bases. The Company defines NOI as property-level operating revenues (includes rental income excluding straight-line adjustments of minimum rent) less maintenance, taxes, utilities, promotion, ground rent (including straight-line adjustments), and other property operating expenses. Since NOI excludes general and administrative expenses, pre-development charges, interest income and expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment charges, restructuring charges, and gains from peripheral land and property dispositions, it provides a performance measure that, when compared period over period, reflects the revenues and expenses most directly associated with owning and operating rental properties, as well as the impact on their operations from trends in tenant sales, occupancy and rental rates, and operating costs. The Company also uses NOI excluding lease cancellation income as an alternative measure because this income may vary significantly from period to period, which can affect comparability and trend analysis. The Company generally provides separate projections for expected comparable center NOI growth and lease cancellation income. Comparable centers are generally defined as centers that were owned and open for the entire current and preceding period presented.
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) defines Funds from Operations (FFO) as net income (computed in accordance with Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP)), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of properties and impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, plus real estate related depreciation and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. The Company believes that FFO is a useful supplemental measure of operating performance for REITs. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, the Company and most industry investors and analysts have considered presentations of operating results that exclude historical cost depreciation to be useful in evaluating the operating performance of REITs. The Company primarily uses FFO in measuring performance and in formulating corporate goals and compensation.
The Company may also present adjusted versions of NOI, Beneficial Interest in EBITDA, and FFO when used by management to evaluate operating performance when certain significant items have impacted results that affect comparability with prior or future periods due to the nature or amounts of these items. The Company believes the disclosure of the adjusted items is similarly useful to investors and others to understand management's view on comparability of such measures between periods. For the three and nine month periods ended September 30, 2014, FFO and EBITDA were adjusted for expenses related to the sale of seven centers to an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group (Starwood) completed in October 2014. Specifically, these measures were adjusted for charges related to the discontinuation of hedge accounting on the interest rate swap previously designated to hedge the MacArthur Center (MacArthur) note payable, a restructuring charge and disposition costs incurred related to the sale. In addition, for the nine month period ended September 30, 2014, EBITDA was adjusted for the gain on dispositions of interests in International Plaza, Arizona Mills, and land in Syosset, New York related to the former Oyster Bay project.
These non-GAAP measures as presented by the Company are not necessarily comparable to similarly titled measures used by other REITs due to the fact that not all REITs use the same definitions. These measures should not be considered alternatives to net income or as an indicator of the Company's operating performance. Additionally, these measures do not represent cash flows from operating, investing, or financing activities as defined by GAAP.
(2)
In October 2014, the Company completed the sale of seven centers to affiliates of Starwood Capital Group.
(3)
Statistics exclude non-comparable centers. In 2014 and 2013, non-comparable centers are Taubman Prestige Outlets Chesterfield and Arizona Mills.
(4)
Based on reports of sales furnished by mall tenants.
(5)
Statistics have been adjusted to exclude the portfolio of seven centers included in the sale to Starwood Capital Group in October 2014.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, the Company recognized a gain (net of tax) of $476.9 million from dispositions of interests in International Plaza, Arizona Mills, and land in Syosset, New York related to the former Oyster Bay project. In the fourth quarter, the Company expects to recognize a gain of approximately $600 million, or $6.65 per share, related to the sale of centers to Starwood in October 2014. This represents an approximation of the Company's share of the gain that will be recorded on the sale of the centers. The actual gain recorded on the sale of centers to Starwood will be based on the balance sheets of the disposed centers at closing and be subject to final prorations and adjustments.

Effective with the June 2014 announcement of the Starwood sale, the Company ceased recognizing depreciation on the property balances that are classified as held for sale.
