ENTERTAINMENT PROPERTIES TRUST REPORTS

FOURTH QUARTER AND YEAR-END RESULTS

~Raises Dividend by 8%~

Kansas City, MO, February 28, 2011 — Entertainment Properties Trust (NYSE:EPR) today announced operating results for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010.

Total revenue was $81.6 million for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $66.6 million for the same quarter in 2009. Net income available to common shareholders was $26.7 million, or $0.57 per diluted common share, for the fourth quarter of 2010 compared to $6.7 million, or $0.17 per diluted common share, for the same quarter in 2009. Funds From Operations (FFO) for the fourth quarter of 2010 was $40.4 million, or $0.86 per diluted common share, compared to $17.0 million, or $0.43 per diluted common share, for the same quarter in 2009.

For the year ended December 31, 2010, total revenue was $313.1 million compared to $259.1 million for year ended December 31, 2009. Net income available to common shareholders for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $84.7 million, or $1.86 per diluted common share, versus a net loss available to common shareholders of $22.2 million, or $0.61 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2009. FFO for the year ended December 31, 2010 was $136.6 million, or $3.00 per diluted common share, compared to $4.9 million, or $0.13 per diluted common share, for the year ended December 31, 2009.

David Brain, President and CEO, commented, “I am proud of what we accomplished in 2010, including over $300 million in accretive transactions, the stabilization of Toronto Dundas Square and the deleveraging of our balance sheet. While these are important achievements, the milestone I am most proud of is the investment grade ratings we received in connection with our inaugural bond offering as we transition from a secured to an unsecured borrower. This transformation augments our ability to grow and should serve to drive our cost of capital lower over time.”

Portfolio Update

As of December 31, 2010, the Company’s real estate portfolio consisted of 107 megaplex theatres (including two joint venture properties) totaling approximately 8.7 million square feet, and restaurant, retail and other destination recreation and specialty properties totaling 4.5 million square feet. The Company also owned 27 public charter schools, and six vineyards totaling approximately 1,250 acres and ten wineries totaling approximately 850 thousand square feet. At December 31, 2010, the Company’s megaplex theatres were 99% occupied, public charter schools were 100% occupied, and its overall real estate portfolio was 97% occupied.

In addition, as of December 31, 2010, the Company’s real estate mortgage loan portfolio had a carrying value of $305.4 million and included financing provided for entertainment, retail and recreational properties, including ten metropolitan ski areas covering approximately 6,100 acres in six states.

On February 3, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to sell its Toronto Dundas Square entertainment retail center in downtown Toronto. The sale proceeds, net of closing costs, are expected to exceed $220 million CAD. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, the transaction is expected to close by the end of the first quarter of 2011 or shortly thereafter. In addition, the Company hedged its foreign currency exposure on this investment by entering into a forward contract to sell $200 million CAD for $201.5 USD with a settlement date of April 15, 2011. Including the impact of foreign currency, the Company expects to record a gain in excess of $17 million upon closing.

Investment Update

The Company’s investment spending in the fourth quarter totaled $3.3 million bringing the total for the year ended December 31, 2010 to approximately $323.0 million.

On January 5, 2011, the Company entered into an agreement to acquire four theatre properties for a total investment of $36.8 million from a third-party. The transaction is expected to close in the first quarter of 2011. The theatre properties are located in New Hampshire and Maine and contain an aggregate of 56 screens. The theatre properties will be leased to Cinemagic pursuant to lease agreements that are structured as triple net with the tenant responsible for all taxes, costs and expenses arising from the use or operation of the properties. As a part of this transaction, the Company will assume a mortgage loan of $3.8 million on one of the four theatres.


Balance Sheet Update

The Company’s balance sheet remains strong with a debt to gross assets ratio (i.e., total long-term debt to total assets plus accumulated depreciation) of 37% at December 31, 2010 and no debt maturities through September 2012. Combined unrestricted cash and credit line capacity at December 31, 2010 totaled $190 million.

On February 7, 2011, the Company paid off all of its secured term loans totaling $86.2 million related to its vineyard and winery portfolio with borrowings under its unsecured line of credit. In conjunction with this pay-off, the Company incurred $4.6 million in costs related to early settlement of interest rate swap agreements and $1.8 million of net deferred financing fees were written off.

Dividend

The Company is announcing a dividend for the first quarter of 2011 of $0.70 per common share. This dividend represents an annualized dividend of $2.80 per common share, an 8% increase over the prior year.

Guidance Update

The Company is revising its 2011 guidance for FFO as adjusted per diluted share to $3.40 to $3.50 from the previous guidance of $3.40 to $3.60. Including expected charges of $0.14 per diluted share for costs associated with the pay-off of the vineyard and winery loan facility, the guidance for FFO per diluted share is $3.26 to $3.36. The Company is maintaining its 2011 investment spending guidance of approximately $300 million.

This 2011 guidance reflects the anticipated sale of Toronto Dundas Square and the Company’s initiative to exit the vineyard and winery business over time. This initiative includes the pay-off of the vineyard and winery term loans, modifying or terminating existing lease agreements as well as asset dispositions.

Quarterly and Year-End Supplemental

The Company’s supplemental information package for the fourth quarter and year ended December 31, 2010 is available on the Company’s website at www.eprkc.com.

(A) The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and management provides FFO herein because it believes this information is useful to investors in this regard. FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate companies and management believes it is useful to provide it here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share. FFO, as defined under the NAREIT definition and presented by us, is net income available to common shareholders, computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of depreciable operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of the Company’s operations, cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO the same way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. In addition to FFO, we present FFO as adjusted. Management believes it is useful to provide it here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders and earnings per share. FFO as adjusted is FFO plus charges for loan losses, costs associated with loan refinancing, impairments and transaction costs, less gain on acquisitions. FFO as adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO as adjusted does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of the results of the Company’s operations, cash flows or liquidity as defined by GAAP.

The additional 1.9 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company’s 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the additional 1.6 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company’s 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and FFO per share for the three months and years ended December 31, 2010 and 2009 because the effect is anti-dilutive.
