Exhibit 99.1
AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION® ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2009 RESULTS
SAN FRANCISCO, February 2, 2010 AMB Property Corporation® (NYSE: AMB), a leading
owner, operator and developer of global industrial real estate, today reported results for the
fourth quarter and full year 2009. Funds from operations per fully diluted share and unit (FFOPS)
was $0.29 for the fourth quarter of 2009 and $0.72 for the full year 2009 compared to $(1.68) and
$0.77 for the same periods in 2008. Excluding the impact of early debt extinguishment costs,
preferred unit redemption discount and restructuring charges, FFO as adjusted would have been $0.32
for the fourth quarter, and $2.09 for full year 2009, which also excludes the impact of impairments
recognized in the first quarter.
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders per fully diluted share (EPS) for the fourth
quarter of 2009 was $(0.05), as compared to $(2.06) for the same quarter in 2008. EPS for the full
year 2009 was $(0.37), as compared to $(0.68) for 2008. The loss in 2009 was primarily due to
impairment charges that the company incurred in the first quarter.
In 2009 we successfully executed on the key priorities we identified in 2008. We are well
positioned to take advantage of emerging opportunities in 2010 and beyond, said Hamid R. Moghadam,
chairman & CEO. We believe the leading indicators of demand for industrial real estate reached an
inflection point during the fourth quarter. Against a strengthening macroeconomic backdrop, were
seeing increased interest from both investors and customers as they actively re-engage in
discussions and decisions regarding new investments and space requirements.
Owned and Managed Portfolio Operating Results
The companys operating results were in line with expectations for the fourth quarter and full
year 2009. AMBs operating portfolio was 91.2 percent occupied at December 31, 2009, up 20 basis
points from September 30, 2009. Average occupancy during the quarter was 90.7 percent, up 30 basis
points from the previous quarter. Cash-basis same store net operating income (SS NOI), without
the effects of lease termination fees, decreased 7.3 percent in the fourth quarter and 4.5 percent
for the full year from comparable periods, driven primarily by lower than average same store
occupancies. For the trailing four quarters ended December 31, 2009, average rent change on
renewals and rollovers in AMBs operating portfolio decreased 6.9 percent.
Leasing Activity
The company leased a total of 7.8 million square feet (719,900 square meters) in its operating
portfolio in the fourth quarter and 29.0 million square feet (2.7 million square meters) in the
full year 2009. In its development portfolio, the company reduced vacancy by 2.5 million square
feet (233,600 square meters) in the fourth quarter and 4.9 million square feet (455,300 square
meters) in the full year 2009.

Disposition Activity
During the fourth quarter, the company completed dispositions totaling $93 million, with gains
of approximately $2 million and an 8.2 percent stabilized capitalization rate, consisting of the
following:
§ |
|
The sale of eight development and value-added conversion properties in the
Americas and Europe, including a land parcel, for an aggregate price of $70 million; and |
|
§ |
|
The sale of four properties from its U.S. operating portfolio for an aggregate
price of $23 million. |
For the year ended December 31, 2009, the company completed property dispositions and contributions
totaling $763 million, with a stabilized capitalization rate of 6.8 percent.
Financing Activities
The company completed more than $1.6 billion of debt repayments, repurchases and extensions
during the fourth quarter and $2.7 billion for the full year 2009. The net result of these
transactions further improved and extended the weighted average remaining life of over 25 percent
of its debt to more than five and a half years at an average interest rate of 4.9 percent without
effectively increasing the companys total indebtedness. As of December 31, 2009, the companys
share of total debt to share of total assets was 43.6 percent, which includes its share of joint
venture debt.
The companys liquidity was $1.4 billion, consisting of $1.2 billion of availability on its lines
of credit and more than $200 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash. The company is
committed to maintaining its solid financial position and will continue to look for opportunities
to further term out its maturities and progress towards its long-term leverage goals.
Investment Activity
Subsequent to quarter end, the company invested $150 million into its core open-end funds,
consisting of $100 million in AMB Alliance Fund III and $50 million in AMB Europe Fund I. AMB
Alliance Fund III received $50 million in third-party equity, subsequent to quarter end. The
company expects AMB Alliance Fund III and AMB Europe Fund I to reinstate their investor
distributions beginning in the first quarter.
We believe the best way to invest in industrial real estate today is by increasing our commitments
to portfolios we have assembled very carefully over the years. These portfolios are of very high
quality, consistent with our investment strategy and are of course very familiar to us, said Guy
F. Jaquier, president, Europe & Asia; president, Private Capital.
FFO Guidance
Subsequent to setting preliminary 2010 earnings guidance in October of 2009, the company
completed two transactions which will impact 2010 FFO. The November 2009 bond offering will
increase interest expense in 2010; this expense will be partially offset by an increase in income
related to the companys investment, in its open-ended funds. Accordingly, the company revises
|
|
|
|
|
Page 3 |
full-year 2010 FFO guidance to $1.26 to $1.33 per share without recognition of gains from
development activities, non-cash impairment charges, early debt extinguishment costs or
restructuring charges. The company will provide updated details of its outlook for 2010 guidance
during its fourth quarter earnings conference call.
Supplemental Earnings Measures
Included in the footnotes to the companys attached financial statements is a discussion of
why management believes FFO, FFOPS and FFO, as adjusted (the FFO Measures) are useful
supplemental measures of operating performance, ways in which investors might use the FFO Measures
when assessing the companys 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 companys quarterly supplemental
analyst package, available on the companys 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 AMBs 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 AMBs 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 AMBs assets but do not reflect the current operating performance of the assets
with respect to their revenues or expenses. AMBs 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 AMBs 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 AMBs
|
|
|
|
|
Page 4 |
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, AMBs
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 AMBs quarterly supplemental analyst
package, available on AMBs website at www.amb.com.

On July 1, 2008, the partners of AMB Partners II (previously, a consolidated
co-investment venture) contributed their interests in AMB Partners II to AMB Institutional Alliance
Fund III in exchange for interests in AMB Institutional Alliance Fund III, an unconsolidated
co-investment venture. Pro forma rental revenues for the year ended December 31, 2008 would have
been $585,706 and proforma operating expenses for the year ended December 31, 2008 would have been
$169,333 if AMB Partners II had been deconsolidated as of January 1, 2008. |

Funds From Operations (FFO), Funds From Operations Per Share and Unit
(FFOPS) and FFO, as adjusted (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, as adjusted, to
be useful supplemental measures of its operating performance. AMB defines FFOPS as FFO per fully
diluted weighted average share of AMBs 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 AMBs 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
industrys long standing practice to include gains on the sale of land in FFO. However, AMBs
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, as adjusted. AMB calculates
FFO, as adjusted, as FFO less impairment and restructuring charges, debt extinguishment losses and
the Series D preferred unit redemption discount. 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 AMBs
reduction in global headcount and cost structure. Debt extinguishment losses generally included the
costs of repurchasing debt securities. AMB repurchased certain tranches of senior unsecured debt to
manage its debt maturities in response to the current financing environment, resulting in greater
debt extinguishment
|
|
|
|
|

costs. The Series D preferred unit redemption discount reflects the gain
associated with the discount to liquidation preference in the Series D preferred unit redemption
price less costs incurred as a result of the redemption. Although difficult to predict, these items
may be recurring given the uncertainty of the current economic climate and its adverse effects on
the real estate and financial markets. While not infrequent or unusual in nature, these items
result from market fluctuations that can have inconsistent effects on AMBs results of operations.
The economics underlying these items reflect market and financing conditions in the short-term but
can obscure AMBs performance and the value of AMBs long-term investment decisions and strategies.
Management believes FFO, as adjusted, is significant and useful to both it and its investors. FFO,
as adjusted, more appropriately reflects the value and strength of AMBs business model and its
potential performance isolated from the volatility of the current economic environment and
unobscured by costs (or gains) resulting from AMBs management of its financing profile in response
to the tightening of the capital markets. However, in
addition to the limitations of FFO Measures generally discussed below, FFO, as adjusted, does not
present a comprehensive measure of AMBs 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 companys 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 AMBs
liquidity or operating performance. The FFO Measures also do not consider the costs associated with
capital expenditures related to AMBs real estate assets nor are the FFO
Measures necessarily indicative of cash available to fund AMBs 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.

As development gains are difficult to predict in the current economic environment,
management believes Projected FFO, as adjusted, excluding AMBs share of development gains is the
more appropriate and useful measure to reflect its assessment of AMBs projected operating
performance. |
