FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
AMB PROPERTY CORPORATION® ANNOUNCES FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2010 RESULTS
SAN FRANCISCO, February 3, 2011 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 2010. Core FFO, as adjusted, which excludes the recognition of
development gains, was $0.32 for the fourth quarter of 2010 and $1.22 for the full year 2010
compared to $0.32 and $1.46 respectively for the same periods in 2009. Funds from operations, as adjusted, per
fully diluted share and unit (FFOPS, as adjusted), which includes the recognition of development
gains, was $0.33 for the fourth quarter 2010 and $1.27 for the full year 2010 compared to $0.32 and
$2.09 respectively for the same periods in 2009. The year-over-year change in FFO, as adjusted, was
primarily due to higher development gains recognized in 2009.
Net income (loss) available to common stockholders per fully diluted share (EPS) for the fourth
quarter of 2010 was $0.03, as compared to a loss of $(0.05) for the same quarter in 2009. EPS for
the full year 2010 was $0.06 as compared to a loss of $(0.37) for 2009.
We made significant progress on our top priorities for the year as reflected in our financial
performance. Due to the efforts of our teams around the world we leased a record 32 million square
feet and our cash-basis same store NOI turned positive for the first time
in two years, said Hamid R.
Moghadam, chairman and CEO. As the leading indicators of demand for industrial real estate
continue to strengthen and customer sentiment further improves, we believe this will lead to an
increase in space utilization and new demand in 2011.
Owned and Managed Portfolio Operating Results
The companys operating results were slightly higher than expectations for the fourth quarter.
AMBs operating portfolio was 93.7 percent occupied at December 31, 2010, up 110 basis points from
September 30, 2010. Cash-basis same store net operating income (SS NOI), without the effects of
lease termination fees, increased 0.9 percent during the fourth quarter of 2010 compared with the
same period in 2009, driven by increases in occupancy. This increase in quarterly SS NOI marked the
first positive year-over-year performance since the fourth quarter of 2008. SS NOI for the full
year 2010 decreased 3.2 percent. Average rent on renewals and rollovers in AMBs operating
portfolio decreased 11.9 percent for the trailing four quarters ended December 31, 2010.
Leasing Activity
During the
fourth quarter, the company leased a total of 7.7 million square feet (715,400
square meters) of its operating portfolio, consistent with leasing volume in the fourth quarter of
2009. The company leased a record 32.0 million square feet (2.9 million square meters) in the full
year 2010. The company leased 1.2 million square feet (115,000 square meters) of its development
portfolio in the fourth quarter and more than 5.7 million square feet (530,500 square meters) in
the full year 2010.

Capital Deployment
During 2010, the company continued to invest capital opportunistically. During the fourth
quarter, the company deployed approximately $230.2 million of capital. For the year ended December
31, 2010, capital deployment totaled $832.2 million, which included:
| $343.3 million in acquisitions at a stabilized capitalization rate of 7.0 percent, composed of 16 properties totaling approximately 4.8 million square feet; |
| $300.0 million into its open-end funds, consisting of $200.0 million in AMB U.S. Logistics Fund and $100 million in AMB Europe Logistics Fund; |
| $102.9 million of new development starts in Brazil, China and Mexico; and |
| $86.0 million in mezzanine debt. |
The company completed dispositions totaling $56.0 million in the fourth quarter at a stabilized
capitalization rate of 7.4 percent, and completed dispositions and contributions totaling $153.3
million in the full year 2010, at a stabilized capitalization rate of 7.3 percent.
Private Capital Activity
During the fourth quarter, the company raised $355.1 million of new third-party capital. For
the year ended December 31, 2010, new commitments in the companys co-investment vehicles totaled
approximately $1.4 billion, including $781.4 million of new third-party equity, AMBs investment of
$300 million into the companys open-end funds and AMBs commitment of $280 million to AMB Mexico
Fondo Logistico and AMB Brazil Logistics Partners Fund I.
New third-party equity raised in 2010 included:
| $312.3 million committed to the companys two open-end funds, AMB U.S. Logistics Fund and AMB Europe Logistics Fund; |
| $252.2 million (3.3 billion Pesos) contributed to AMB Mexico Fondo Logistico, which was formed in the third quarter. The ventures overall equity commitment is $315.3 million, including AMBs 20 percent co-investment; and |
| $216.9 million (R$360 million) committed to AMB Brazil Logistics Partners Fund I, which was formed in fourth quarter. The fund overall equity commitment is $433.8 million (R$720 million), including AMBs 50 percent co-investment. |
Financing Activities
The company completed more than $1.9 billion of financings during the fourth quarter. This
activity included $1.5 billion of wholly-owned debt consisting of the renewal of its two lines of
credit, a corporate term loan, a new bond issuance, and $391 million for its co-investment ventures
in Europe, Japan and the U.S. For the year ended December 31, 2010, the company completed
financings of approximately $4.0 billion. These transactions further improved and
extended the weighted average remaining life of the companys share of debt to 4.8 years from 3.8
years at an
Page 3
average interest rate of 4.6 percent. As of December 31, 2010, the companys share of total debt to
share of total assets was 43 percent, which includes its share of joint venture debt.
We had a busy year on the financing front as we successfully took the opportunity to lock in
favorable interest rates to further enhance our debt maturity profile, said Thomas S. Olinger,
AMBs chief financial officer. We completed approximately $3 billion of activity in the second half of 2010, which was a
record for us.
As of December 31, 2010, the companys liquidity was approximately $1.6 billion, consisting of
approximately $1.4 billion of availability on its lines of credit and more than $260 million of
unrestricted cash and cash equivalents.
FFO Guidance
The company maintains its previous full-year 2011 Core FFO, as adjusted, guidance of $1.30 to
$1.40 per share, which excludes the recognition of gains and losses from development activities,
early debt extinguishment costs and restructuring charges. The companys 2011 Core FFO, as
adjusted, guidance excludes any impact from the proposed merger with ProLogis.

Supplemental Earnings Measures
Included in the footnotes to the
companys attached financial statements is a discussion of
why management believes FFO, as adjusted, FFOPS, as adjusted, Core FFO,
as adjusted, and Core FFOPS, as adjusted (the FFO
Measures, as adjusted), are useful supplemental measures of operating performance, ways in which investors
might use the FFO Measures, as adjusted when assessing the companys
financial performance and the limitations of the FFO Measures, as adjusted, as a measurement tool. Reconciliation from net income
(loss) available to common stockholders
to the FFO Measures, as adjusted 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
Page 4
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, 2008. 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 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 (loss) 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.

inability to lease properties at all or at favorable rents and terms, and public opposition to
these activities); the companys failure to set up additional funds, attract additional investment
in existing funds or to contribute properties to its co-investment ventures due to such factors as
its inability to acquire, develop, or lease properties that meet the investment criteria of such
ventures, or the co-investment ventures inability to access debt and equity capital to pay for
property contributions or their allocation of available capital to cover other capital
requirements; risks and uncertainties relating to the disposition of properties to third parties
and the companys ability to effect such transactions on advantageous terms and to timely reinvest
proceeds from any such dispositions; risks of doing business internationally and global expansion,
including unfamiliarity with the new markets and currency and hedging risks; risks of changing
personnel and roles; risks related to suspending, reducing or changing the companys dividends;

requirements, including changes in real estate, tax and zoning laws; increases in real property tax
rates; risks associated with the companys tax structuring; increases in interest rates and
operating costs or greater than expected capital expenditures; environmental uncertainties; risks
related to natural disasters; and our failure to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate
investment trust. Our success also depends upon economic trends generally, various market
conditions and fluctuations and those other risk factors discussed under the heading Risk Factors
and elsewhere in our most recent annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2009.

(1) | Funds From Operations, as adjusted, (FFO, as adjusted), Funds From Operations, Per Share and Unit, as adjusted (FFOPS, as adjusted), Core FFO, as adjusted, and Core FFO Per Share and Unit, as adjusted (Core FFOPS, as adjusted) (together with FFO, as adjusted, FFOPS, as adjusted, Core FFO, as adjusted and Core FFOPS, as adjusted, the FFO Measures, as adjusted). AMB believes that net income, as defined by U.S. GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, AMB considers funds from operations, as adjusted (or FFO, as adjusted), FFO per share and unit, as adjusted (or FFOPS, as adjusted), Core FFO, as adjusted and Core FFO per share and unit, as adjusted (or Core FFOPS, as adjusted) to be useful supplemental measures of its operating performance. AMB defines FFOPS, as adjusted, as FFO, as adjusted, per fully diluted weighted average share of AMBs common stock and operating partnership units. AMB calculates FFO, as adjusted, as net income ( or loss) 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, as adjusted, of consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. AMB defines Core FFOPS, as adjusted as Core FFO, as adjusted per fully diluted weighted share of AMBs common stock and operating partnership units. AMB calculates Core FFO, as adjusted as FFO, as adjusted excluding AMBs share of development profits. These calculations also include adjustments for items as described below. | |
Unless stated otherwise, AMB includes the gains from development, including those from value-added conversion projects before depreciation recapture, as a component of FFO, as adjusted. AMB believes gains from development should be included in FFO, as adjusted, 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, as adjusted, consistent with the real estate investment trust industrys long standing practice to include gains on the sale of land in funds from operations. However, AMBs interpretation of FFO, as adjusted, or FFOPS, as adjusted, 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 funds from operations or funds from operations per share and unit 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, as adjusted, 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, as adjusted, 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 as adjusted. | ||
In addition, AMB calculates FFO, as adjusted, to exclude 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, as adjusted, 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 funds from operations and should not be used as an alternative to net income or cash as defined by U.S. GAAP. | ||
AMB believes that the FFO Measures, as adjusted, 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, as adjusted, 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, as adjusted, 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, as adjusted, 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, as adjusted, can help the investing public compare the operating performance of a companys real estate between periods or as compared to other companies. While funds from operations and funds from operations per share are relevant and widely used measures of operating performance of real estate investment trusts, the FFO Measures, as adjusted, 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, as adjusted, also do not consider the costs associated with capital expenditures related to AMBs real estate assets nor are the FFO Measures, as adjusted, necessarily indicative of cash available to fund AMBs future cash requirements. Management compensates for the limitations of the FFO Measures, as adjusted, by providing investors with financial statements prepared according to U.S. GAAP, along with this detailed discussion of the FFO Measures, as adjusted, and a reconciliation of the FFO Measures, as adjusted, to net income available to common stockholders, a U.S. GAAP measurement. | ||
