INVESTORS REAL ESTATE TRUST
ANNOUNCES
FINANCIAL AND OPERATING RESULTS
FOR THE QUARTER AND FISCAL YEAR ENDED APRIL 30, 2011;
 
Plans Distribution Reduction
 
Minot, ND – June 30, 2011 – Investors Real Estate Trust (tickers: IRET and IRETP; exchange: NASDAQ Global Select Market) reported financial and operating results today for the quarter and fiscal year ended April 30, 2011.
 
During the three month period ended April 30, 2011, IRET’s revenues decreased from the year-earlier period. Funds From Operations (FFO)1 overall and on a per share and unit basis decreased for the three month period ended April 30, 2011 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year.  Net income decreased from the year-earlier period, primarily due to increased vacancy in the three month period ended April 30, 2011, compared to the three month period ended April 30, 2010.
 
For the three month period ended April 30, 2011, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year:
 
 
Revenues decreased to $59.1 million from $59.4 million.
 
 
FFO decreased to $14.7 million on approximately 100,239,000 weighted average shares and units outstanding, from $15.8 million on approximately 94,979,000 weighted average shares and units outstanding ($.15 per share and unit compared to $.17 per share and unit).
 
 
Net Income (Loss) Available to Common Shareholders, as computed under generally accepted accounting principles, was a loss of approximately $149,000 compared to income of $654,000 in the same period of the prior fiscal year.
 
 
Total expenses increased by $957,000, or 2.3%, in the three months ended April 30, 2011 compared to the three months ended April 30, 2010, from $42.4 million to $43.3 million.
 
During the twelve month period ended April 30, 2011, IRET’s revenues increased from the year-earlier period. FFO increased for the twelve month period ended April 30, 2011 compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year, while FFO on a per share and unit basis decreased.  Net income increased from the year-earlier period, primarily due to a gain on sale of discontinued operations in the twelve month period ended April 30, 2011 compared to the twelve month period ended April 30, 2010.
 
For the twelve month period ended April 30, 2011, as compared to the same period of the prior fiscal year:
 
 
Revenues increased to $237.4 million from $231.5 million.
 
 
FFO increased to $62.2 million on approximately 98,782,000 weighted average shares and units outstanding, from $61.5 million on approximately 89,918,000 weighted average shares and units outstanding ($.63 per share and unit compared to $.69 per share and unit).
 
 
Net Income Available to Common Shareholders, as computed under generally accepted accounting principles, was approximately $17.7 million compared to $1.6 million.
 
 
Total expenses increased by $6.3 million, or 3.8%, in the twelve months ended April 30, 2011 compared to the twelve months ended April 30, 2010, from $163.2 million to $169.4 million.
 
IRET’s President and Chief Executive Officer, Timothy Mihalick, commented: “During fiscal year 2011 we continued to experience a challenging market environment in our commercial office, industrial and retail segments in particular. While many of our markets appear to be emerging from recession, growth remains sluggish and unemployment high, and we continue to find it challenging to lease vacant space, as office, industrial and retail tenants are remaining cautious. We expect these leasing challenges to continue during fiscal year 2012, with flat or modest growth in rental revenues and net operating income.
 
Our multi-family residential properties, however, have shown steady improvement in occupancy and real estate revenue over the past several quarters.  We believe we are now beginning to see positive results from our internal property management initiative, in terms of our ability to focus on increasing net operating income by improving occupancy, maintaining control of expenses and establishing a direct relationship with our tenants.  In some markets we are experiencing sufficient improvement in market fundamentals (i.e., a better balance of supply of available units with demand for those units) to permit us to raise rents.  While we expect to see continued favorable results in our multi-family segment in fiscal year 2012, our ability to maintain occupancy levels and selectively raise rents is dependent on continued economic recovery and employment growth, and the strength and sustainability of a recovery is currently far from certain.”

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. (NAREIT) defines FFO as “net income (computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures will be calculated to reflect funds from operations on the same basis.” FFO is a non-GAAP measure. We consider FFO to be a standard supplemental measure for equity real estate investment trusts because it facilitates an understanding of the operating performance of properties without giving effect to real estate depreciation and amortization, which assume that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.  Since real estate values instead historically rise or fall with market conditions, we believe that FFO provides investors and management with a more accurate indication of our financial and operating results. See table below for a reconciliation of Net Income to FFO.

Operating Results
 
Net Operating Income (NOI)2 from stabilized properties3 decreased approximately $2.1 million or 6.5% during the three month period ended April 30, 2011, compared to the same period one year ago. NOI from stabilized properties decreased in four of our five segments, with NOI increasing only in our multi-family residential segment, which increased 3.9% due to reduced vacancy.  NOI from all properties decreased by $1.2 million, during the three month period ended April 30, 2011, compared to the same period one year ago. NOI from all properties decreased in all of our segments except multi-family residential, which increased 4.4% due to reduced vacancy, and commercial medical, which increased 0.8 % in comparison to commercial medical NOI for the three months ended April 30, 2010, primarily due to new acquisitions in Fiscal 2011.
 
NOI from stabilized properties decreased approximately $5.8 million or 4.3% during the twelve month period ended April 30, 2011, compared to the same period one year ago. NOI from stabilized properties decreased in four of our five segments; only our commercial medical segment increased, by 2.6% due to a reduction in bad debt expense in comparison to the same period one year ago. NOI from all properties decreased by $1.4 million during the twelve month period ended April 30, 2011, compared to the same period one year ago. NOI from all properties decreased in all of our segments except commercial medical and commercial retail, which increased 10.2 % and 0.7% respectively, due  primarily to new acquisitions in Fiscal 2011 and to a lesser extent to a reduction in bad debt expense for the commercial medical segment in comparison to the same period one year ago.
 
As of April 30, 2011, compared to April 30, 2010, physical occupancy levels on a stabilized property basis increased in one of our five reportable segments and on an all property basis increased in two of our five reportable segments.

We measure the performance of our segments based on NOI, which we define as total real estate revenues less real estate expenses (which consist of utilities, maintenance, real estate taxes, insurance and property management expenses). We believe that NOI is an important supplemental measure of operating performance for a real estate investment trust’s operating real estate because it provides a measure of core operations that is unaffected by depreciation, amortization, financing and general and administrative expense. NOI does not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP, and should not be considered an alternative to net income, net income available for common shareholders or cash flow from operating activities as a measure of financial performance. See tables below for a reconciliation of NOI to the condensed consolidated financial statements.

Stabilized properties are those properties owned for the entirety of both periods being compared, and which, in the case of development or re-development properties, have achieved a target level of occupancy.

Acquisitions and Dispositions
 
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, the Company acquired two multi-family residential properties.  On February 3, 2011, the Company closed on its purchase of the 24-unit North Pointe II apartment property in Bismarck, North Dakota, for a purchase price of approximately $1.9 million, consisting of $372,000 in cash and limited partnership units of IRET Properties valued at approximately $1.5 million.  The North Pointe II apartment complex adjoins the Company’s existing North Pointe I property in Bismarck, North Dakota.  On February 28, 2011, the Company completed its acquisition of the 44-unit Sierra Vista Apartments in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, for a purchase price of approximately $2.3 million, consisting of $2.0 million in cash and limited partnership units of IRET Properties valued at approximately $299,000.  The Company had no dispositions during the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011.
 
Shareholder Equity, Distributions and Capital Structure
 
In April 2009, IRET and IRET Properties entered into a continuous equity offering program sales agreement with Robert W. Baird & Co. Incorporated (Baird). Pursuant to the Sales Agreement, IRET may offer and sell its common shares of beneficial interest, no par value, having an aggregate gross sales price of up to $50.0 million, from time to time through Baird as IRET's sales agent. During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, IRET sold no shares under this program.
 
As of April 30, 2011, IRET had a total capitalization of $1.9 billion. Total capitalization is defined as the market value (closing price at end of period) of the Company’s outstanding common shares and the imputed market value of the outstanding limited partnership units of IRET Properties (which are convertible, at the expiration of a specified holding period, into cash or, at the Company’s sole discretion, into common shares of the Company on a one-to-one basis), plus the book value of the Company’s preferred shares and the outstanding principal balance of the consolidated debt of the Company.
 
On April 1, 2011, IRET paid a quarterly distribution of $0.1715 per share and unit on its common shares and limited partnership units of IRET Properties. This was IRET’s 160th consecutive distribution at equal or increasing rates.  IRET also paid, on March 31, 2011, a quarterly distribution of $0.5156 per share on its Series A preferred shares.
 
Distribution Declared.   Subsequent to the end of the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2011, on June 3, 2011, the Company’s Board of Trustees declared a quarterly distribution of $0.1715 per share and unit on the Company’s common shares and the limited partnership units of IRET Properties, payable on July 1, 2011 to shareholders of record on June 15, 2011.  This distribution will be IRET’s 161st consecutive distribution at equal or increasing rates.  The Board of Trustees also declared a quarterly distribution of $0.5156 per share on the Company’s Series A preferred shares, payable June 30, 2011 to preferred shareholders of record on June 15, 2011.
 
Distribution Reduction Planned.  The Board of Trustees of the Company has approved a plan recommended by Company management to reduce the Company’s quarterly distribution to $0.1300 from $0.1715 per common share and limited partnership unit, effective with the next quarterly distribution planned for October 3, 2011.  The Board currently intends to maintain this level of cash distribution for at least the next four quarters, and anticipates growing the distribution over time in line with FFO growth.   All future distributions remain subject to the discretion of the Company’s Board of Trustees.
 
A quarterly distribution of $0.1300 per share and unit will be equivalent to an annualized rate of $0.5200 per share/unit, and will be a decrease of 24.2% from the Company’s prior quarterly distribution of $0.1715 per share/unit, or $0.6860 annually.   This decision will preserve approximately $16.7 million in capital for the Company on an annualized basis, based on 100,735,171 shares and units outstanding as of June 29, 2011.
 
“As we have noted earlier, we recognize the importance of the distribution to our shareholders, and, after a 40-year history of paying distributions at equal or increasing rates, we understand the significance of this decision.  However, we believe it is the correct action at this time to continue to strengthen our Company for the long term,” IRET President and Chief Executive Officer Timothy Mihalick said. “The revised distribution still provides an attractive return to our shareholders, with an annualized yield of 6.0% based on the most recent closing price of our shares on June 29, 2011 of $8.70.  This return is even more attractive when the tax-advantaged status of real estate investment trust distributions is considered.  For example, approximately 71.5% of our calendar year 2010 distributions were classified as return of capital, which is nontaxable until a shareholder’s basis in our stock is fully recovered.   We believe our revised distribution is competitive and reflects an appropriate payout in today’s market.”
 
Mr. Mihalick said: “The Board’s decision to reduce the distribution reflects our expectation that revenues and FFO will continue to be under pressure in the current fiscal year.  Accordingly, we believed it prudent to recommend to our Board an adjustment in our distribution payout level to a more manageable level reflective of our current revenue and FFO trends.  The Company continues to generate strong cash flow, even in this challenging economic environment, and we believe that with access to ample liquidity and the money saved through this planned distribution reduction, we will have additional flexibility to continue to improve our existing properties and fund the build-outs necessary to attract desirable tenants, as well as take advantage of future acquisition and development opportunities, particularly in our home market of North Dakota.  With the oil and gas activity in the Bakken shale formation in the western part of the state and robust farm commodity prices, North Dakota continues to experience a strong energy and agriculture-led economy.”  Company management expects to provide more information about the distribution decision on the Conference Call for 4th Quarter Earnings scheduled for July 1, 2011.
