RADNOR, PA--(MARKET WIRE)--Nov 5, 2008 -- Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:BDN - News), a real estate investment trust focused on the ownership, management and development of Class A, suburban and urban office properties in the mid-Atlantic region and other selected markets throughout the United States, announced today its financial and operating results for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008. The highlights are as follows:

Financial Highlights - Third Quarter

 
--  Net income allocated to common shares totaled $0.7 million or $0.01
    per diluted share in the third quarter of 2008 compared to $0.4 million or
    $0.00 per diluted share in the third quarter of 2007.

--  Funds from operations (FFO) in the third quarter of 2008 totaled $53.6
    million or $0.59 per diluted share compared to $62.0 million or $0.68 per
    diluted share in the third quarter of 2007.  The third quarter 2008 results
    included $0.3 million of termination revenues while the third quarter 2007
    results included $7.6 million of termination revenues.  Our third quarter
    2008 FFO payout ratio was 74.6% ($0.44 common share dividend / $0.59 FFO
    per share).

--  In the third quarter of 2008, we incurred $8.9 million of revenue
    maintaining capital expenditures which along with our other adjustments to
    FFO, resulted in $41.4 million of cash available for distribution (CAD) or
    $0.46 per diluted share compared to $35.7 million of CAD or $0.39 per
    diluted share in the third quarter of 2007 when we incurred $14.8 million
    of revenue maintaining capital expenditures.  Our third quarter 2008 CAD
    payout ratio was 95.7% ($0.44 common share dividend / $0.46 CAD per share).

Financial Highlights - Nine Months

 
--  Net income allocated to common shares totaled $20.8 million or $0.24
    per diluted share in the first nine months of 2008 compared to $16.8
    million or $0.19 per diluted share in the first nine months of 2007.  Net
    income in the first nine months of 2008 included $21.4 million of gains on
    the disposition of discontinued real estate, a $6.85 million impairment
    charge related to assets held for sale and a $4.3 million gain on the early
    extinguishment of debt, while net income in the first nine months of 2007
    included $25.5 million of gains on the disposition of discontinued real
    estate.

--  FFO for the first nine months of 2008 totaled $168.3 million ($175.2
    million excluding the $6.85 million impairment charge) or $1.85 per diluted
    share ($1.93 per diluted share excluding the impairment charge), compared
    to $179.5 million or $1.95 per diluted share for the first nine months of
    2007.  The results for the first nine months of 2008 also included $4.5
    million of termination revenues while the results for the first nine months
    of 2007 included $9.4 million of termination revenues.  Our FFO payout
    ratio for the first nine months of 2008 was 71.4% ($1.32 common share
    dividends / $1.85 FFO per diluted share).

--  For the first nine months of 2008, CAD totaled $132.2 million or $1.45
    per diluted share versus $101.3 million or $1.10 per diluted share for the
    first nine months of 2007.  Our CAD payout ratio for the first nine months
    of 2008 was 91.0% ($1.32 common share dividends / $1.45 CAD per diluted
    share).

Portfolio Highlights

 
--  At September 30, 2008, our core portfolio was 92.1% occupied and 93.3%
    leased (reflecting leases commencing after September 30, 2008).  We owned
    254 properties at September 30, 2008, encompassing 237 core properties
    aggregating 23.4 million square feet, 11 development/redevelopment
    properties aggregating 3.1 million square feet and 6 properties designated
    as held for sale aggregating 2.1 million square feet.

--  During the third quarter of 2008, net operating income (NOI) excluding
    termination revenues and other income items declined 3.6% on a GAAP basis
    and increased 0.8% on a cash basis for our 226 same store properties which
    were 92.4% and 93.9% occupied on September 30, 2008 and September 30, 2007,
    respectively.  For the first nine months of 2008, NOI excluding termination
    revenues and other income items for our same store portfolio decreased 2.0%
    on a GAAP basis and increased 1.0% on a cash basis.

--  For the third quarter of 2008, our core portfolio retention rate was
    60.7% with overall negative net absorption of 86,033 square feet.  During
    the third quarter of 2008, we achieved a 10.0% increase on our renewal
    rental rates and a 3.6% increase on our new lease rental rates, both on a
    GAAP basis.

Investment Highlights

 
--  We did not acquire any properties in the third quarter of 2008 nor in
    all of 2008.

--  We did not sell any properties in the third quarter of 2008.
    Subsequent to quarter end, we sold a five-property office portfolio in
    Oakland, California for aggregate consideration of $412.5 million and an
    office building in Richmond, Virginia for $48.8 million, bringing year-to-
    date completed sales volume to $517.5 million.  Net of $95.3 million of
    buyer debt assumptions, $40.0 million of seller financing and $8.5 million
    of transaction costs, these two sales provided aggregate net proceeds of
    approximately $317.5 million which were used for debt repayments and to
    establish cash balances for future needs.

--  At September 30, 2008, we were actively proceeding on five existing
    developments and six existing redevelopments with total estimated costs of
    $608.7 million of which $351.8 million remained to be funded.  These
    amounts include $370.0 million of total project costs for the combined 30th
    Street Post Office (100% leased to the U.S. Government) and Cira South
    garage (76% leased to the U.S. Government) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania of
    which $291.7 million remained to be funded at September 30, 2008, primarily
    in 2009 and 2010.  As of October 31, 2008, our five developments and six
    redevelopments were collectively 77.8% leased, reflecting a recently
    completed 235,000 square foot lease at our South Lake at Dulles Corner
    project and other leasing activity.

Capital Markets Highlights

 
--  At September 30, 2008, our net debt to gross assets measured 52.5%
    compared to 54.3% at September 30, 2007.  At September 30, 2008, we had
    $430.3 million available for use and drawdown under our various credit
    facilities.  Subsequent to quarter end, we utilized the $317.5 million of
    net proceeds from the aforementioned two sales to fully pay down the
    balance on our $620.0 million of revolving credit facilities and provide
    approximately $145.0 million of initial cash balances for future needs.  We
    expect to fully utilize all of this cash by year-end 2008 for a variety of
    general corporate purposes including the repayment of existing
    indebtedness.

--  We achieved a 2.5 times interest coverage ratio for the quarter ended
    September 30, 2008 versus 2.6 times for the quarter ended September 30,
    2007.

"Our third quarter 2008 results reflect the continued strong performance of our core portfolio, the ongoing lease-up of our development projects and prudent balance sheet management," stated Gerard H. Sweeney, President and Chief Executive Officer of Brandywine Realty Trust. "These activities, together with the sales we completed subsequent to quarter end, position us favorably in a challenging business environment and underscore our commitment to liquidity, capital availability and financial flexibility."

Distributions

On September 17, 2008, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend distribution of $0.44 per common share that was paid on October 17, 2008 to shareholders of record as of October 3, 2008. Our Board also declared quarterly dividend distributions of $0.46875 per 7.50% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share and $0.460938 per 7.375% Series D Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Share that were paid on October 15, 2008 to holders of record as of September 30, 2008 of the Series C and Series D Preferred Shares, respectively.

For our 2009 common share distributions beginning with our January 2009 quarterly distribution, our Board has adopted a dividend policy designed to match our distributions to our projected, normalized taxable income. As such, we anticipate that our quarterly 2009 distributions will be $0.30 per share ($1.20 annually) subject to declaration by our Board. Taxable gains or income items beyond this normalized level would be addressed through a combination of special distributions and/or other tax planning techniques.

Share Repurchase Program

We are authorized to purchase an additional 539,200 common shares and may make repurchases from time to time in the open market or in privately negotiated transactions, subject to market conditions and compliance with legal requirements. The share repurchase program does not contain any time limitation and does not obligate us to repurchase any shares. We did not purchase any shares in the third quarter of 2008 and may discontinue the program at any time.

Increase of 2008 Earnings and FFO Guidance

Based on current plans and assumptions and subject to the risks and uncertainties more fully described in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we are increasing our previously announced guidance for full year 2008 FFO per diluted share to be in a range $2.39 to $2.43 versus the prior range of $2.32 to $2.42 (including the deduction of $6.85 million or approximately $0.08 per diluted share for an impairment charge incurred in the second quarter of 2008). Earnings and FFO guidance are provided for informational purposes and are subject to change. The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of 2008 FFO per diluted share (with and without the impairment charge) and earnings per diluted share:

For information purposes, we have provided FFO guidance both with and without the impairment charge. For guidance purposes, we have not considered any future gains, losses or impairments from the sale of real estate not previously disclosed. Our 2008 FFO guidance does not include any income from the sale of undepreciated real estate, in accordance with our current practice.

Introduction of 2009 Earnings and FFO Guidance

Based on current plans and assumptions and subject to the risks and uncertainties more fully described in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, we estimate that full year 2009 FFO per diluted share will be in a range of $2.17 to $2.27. This guidance is provided for informational purposes and is subject to change. The following is a reconciliation of the calculation of 2009 FFO per diluted share and earnings per diluted share:

FFO per diluted share                                  $ 2.17  to  $ 2.27

Our 2009 FFO guidance does not include any income from the sale of undepreciated real estate, in accordance with our current practice.

Accounting Disclosure

During the quarter ended June 30, 2008, we identified certain instances dating back to 1998 in which we canceled, upon the vesting of restricted shares, a portion of such shares in settlement of tax withholdings in excess of statutory rates. As a result, we have changed the classification of the affected restricted share grants from equity to liability awards with corresponding immaterial changes in individual period net income amounts. While no single period impact is material, the error requires correction. We have made corresponding revisions as appropriate to our prior period financial statements in our supplemental information package and will do so in future SEC filings. No Form 8-K or prior period restatement filings are required.

NON-GAAP SUPPLEMENTAL FINANCIAL MEASURES

We compute our financial results in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP). Although FFO, NOI and CAD are non-GAAP financial measures, we believe that FFO, NOI and CAD calculations are helpful to shareholders and potential investors and are widely recognized measures of real estate investment trust performance. At the end of this press release, we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Funds from Operations (FFO)

We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition differently than us. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before minority interest of unit holders (preferred and common) and excluding gains (losses) on sales of property and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs), and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Net income, the GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly comparable to FFO, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or losses on property sales, extraordinary items and minority interest. To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as presented in the financial statements included elsewhere in this release. FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) and should not be considered to be an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

For information purposes, we also provide FFO adjusted for impairment charges. Although our calculation of FFO as adjusted differs from NAREIT's definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real estate companies, we believe it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance because we believe that by excluding impairment charges, shareholders and potential investors are presented with an indicator of our operating performance that more closely achieves the objectives of the real estate industry in presenting FFO.

Net Operating Income (NOI)

NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income available to common shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus corporate general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization, interest expense, minority interest in the Operating Partnership and losses from early extinguishment of debt, less interest income, development and management income, gains from property dispositions, gains on sale from discontinued operations, gains on early extinguishment of debt, income from discontinued operations, income from unconsolidated joint ventures and minority interest in property partnerships. In some cases, we also present NOI on a cash basis, which is NOI after eliminating the effect of straight-lining of rent and deferred market intangible amortization. NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI reported by other REITs that define NOI differently. NOI should not be considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance, or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity or ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

Cash Available for Distribution (CAD)

CAD is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not intended as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as determined under GAAP. CAD is presented solely as a supplemental disclosure with respect to liquidity because we believe it provides useful information regarding our ability to fund our distributions. Because other companies do not necessarily calculate CAD the same way as we do, our presentation of CAD may not be comparable to similarly titled measures provided by other companies.

Revenue Maintaining Capital Expenditures

Revenue maintaining capital expenditures, a non-GAAP financial measure, are a component of the Company's CAD calculation and represent the portion of capital expenditures required to maintain the Company's current level of funds available for distribution. Revenue maintaining capital expenditures include current tenant improvement and allowance expenditures for all tenant spaces that have been owned for at least one year, and that were not vacant during the twelve-month period prior to the date that the tenant improvement or allowance expenditure was approved. Revenue maintaining capital expenditures also include other expenditures intended to maintain our current revenue base. Accordingly, the Company excludes capital expenditures related to development and redevelopment projects, as well as certain projects at our core properties that are intended to attract prospective tenants in order to increase revenues and/or occupancy rates.
