INDIANAPOLIS, IN -- (Marketwire) -- 10/31/12 -- Duke Realty Corporation (NYSE: DRE), a leading industrial, suburban and medical office property REIT, today reported results for the third quarter of 2012.
"Solid operational results, continued progress on our asset repositioning strategy and opportunistic capital raising resulted in a strong third quarter," said Denny Oklak, Chairman and CEO. "Core FFO was $0.26 per share and AFFO was $0.20 per share. We completed 7.4 million square feet of leasing activity and maintained an in-service portfolio occupancy of 92.5 percent. We achieved strong same-property net operating income growth of 3.5 percent as compared to the twelve months ended September 30, 2011. There was continued strong momentum in new development starts during the quarter with five build-to-suit projects and two strategic speculative development projects under construction, all with solid risk-adjusted yields. We also completed significant medical office acquisition activity during the quarter and in early October, substantially advancing our asset repositioning strategy. We continued to lower our cost of capital with the issuance of $300 million of ten-year, senior unsecured notes at a company record low 3.93 percent effective rate, in addition to raising $85 million of proceeds from our at-the-market common equity program. Overall, we are pleased with a very successful third quarter."
Quarterly Highlights
Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO") per diluted share was $0.26 for the quarter. Funds from Operations ("FFO") per diluted share, as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), was also $0.26 for the quarter.

FFO and AFFO Reporting Definitions
Funds from Operations ("FFO"): FFO is computed in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable property, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets, and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP")); plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. The company believes FFO to be most directly comparable to net income as defined by GAAP. The company believes that FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (as defined by GAAP) as presented in the financial statements accompanying this release. FFO does not represent a measure of liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for the company's cash needs, including the company's ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.
Core Funds from Operations ("Core FFO"): Core FFO is computed as FFO adjusted for certain items that are generally non-cash in nature and that materially distort the comparative measurement of company performance over time. The adjustments include impairment charges, tax expenses or benefit related to (i) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances, (ii) changes in tax exposure accruals that were established as the result of the adoption of new accounting principles, or (iii) taxable income (loss) related to other items excluded from FFO or Core FFO (collectively referred to as "other income tax items"), gains (losses) on debt transactions, adjustments on the repurchase of preferred stock, gains (losses) on and related costs of acquisitions, and severance charges related to overhead restructuring activities. Although the company's calculation of Core FFO differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real estate companies, the company believes it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance.
Adjusted Funds from Operations ("AFFO"): AFFO is defined by the company as Core FFO (as defined above), less recurring building improvements and second generation capital expenditures (the leasing of vacant space that had previously been under lease by the company is referred to as second generation lease activity) and adjusted for certain non-cash items including straight line rental income, non-cash components of interest expense and stock compensation expense, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Same Property Performance
The company includes same-property net operating income growth as a property-level supplemental measure of performance. The company does not believe same-property net operating income growth to be a primary measure of overall company operating performance. The company utilizes same-property net income growth as a supplemental measure to evaluate property-level performance, without differentiating or making adjustment as to whether a property is consolidated or jointly controlled.
A description of the properties that are excluded from the company's same-property measure is included on page 21 of our September 30, 2012 supplemental information.
