MACERICH ANNOUNCES QUARTERLY RESULTS

        Santa Monica, CA (7/28/11)—The Macerich Company (NYSE Symbol: MAC) today announced results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2011 which included total funds from operations ("FFO") diluted of $66.7 million or $.47 per share-diluted, compared to $.57 per share-diluted for the quarter ended June 30, 2010. For the quarter ended June 30, 2011, adjusted FFO ("AFFO") per share-diluted was $.72 and excludes the impact of a $35.7 million or $.25 per share impairment charge. Net loss available to common stockholders was $19.2 million or $.15 per share-diluted, compared to a net loss available to common stockholders for the quarter ended June 30, 2010 of $.4 million or $.01 per share-diluted. A description and reconciliation of FFO per share diluted and AFFO per share-diluted to EPS is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Recent Highlights:

    Occupancy increased to 92.3% at June 30, 2011, up from 91.8% at June 30, 2010.

    Mall tenant annual sales per square foot increased 9.1% to $458 for the year ended June 30, 2011 compared to $420 for the year ended June 30, 2010.

    The releasing spreads for the year ended June 30, 2011 were up 11.6%.

    On July 22, 2011, the Company closed on the acquisition of the Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls, a 526,000 square foot center that is 96% occupied, with shop tenant annual sales of approximately $650 per square foot.

        Commenting on the quarter and recent events, Arthur Coppola chairman and chief executive officer of Macerich stated, "it was a very active quarter for us, increasing our ownership interest in two Phoenix malls, entering the fashion outlet sector with the acquisition of Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls and our announced plans to develop a fashion outlet center in the Phoenix/Scottsdale market. In addition, we continue to see strong fundamentals in our portfolio with occupancy gains, solid tenant sales growth and good releasing spreads."

Acquisition Activity:

        On July 22, 2011, the Company closed the acquisition of the 526,000 square foot Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls, USA. The center is anchored by Saks Off 5th, Nike, Coach Women's and Men's stores, Old Navy, Gap and Polo Ralph Lauren and includes many other prominent tenants including Michael Kors, Barneys of NY outlet, J. Crew, Cole Haan, Burberry, Tommy Hilfiger, Brooks Brothers, Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss, Banana Republic and 120 others. The enclosed center's shop tenant sales per square foot are approximately $650. The center ranks as one of the most productive outlet centers in the country. The Fashion Outlets of Niagara Falls was purchased for $200 million, including the assumption of the existing debt of $121 million that has an interest rate of 5.90% and a maturity of October 1, 2020.


        On June 3, 2011, the Company acquired a 33.3% ownership interest of Superstition Springs Mall and Arrowhead Towne Center, both in the Phoenix, Arizona market. This brings the Company's ownership of both assets up to 66.7%. The partnership interests were obtained in exchange for six big-box anchor locations in Arizona, California, Illinois and Utah and $75 million in cash.

        Including these transactions, total acquisitions for the year are over $400 million.

Balance Sheet Activity:

        In May, the Company closed on a new $1.5 billion line of credit. The facility has a four year term, extendable to five years and has an interest rate, based on current leverage of LIBOR plus 2.00%. At June 30, 2011, the line of credit had an outstanding balance of $145 million.

        On July 1, 2011, the Company closed on a $200 million loan on Los Cerritos Center. The fixed rate loan has an interest rate of 4.46% and a term of seven years.

        In June, 2011 the Company paid off the $83.4 million loan with a 7.2% interest rate on Pacific View Mall and in July the Company paid off the $40.2 million loan with interest at 7.6% on Rimrock Mall. Both assets are now unencumbered by mortgage debt.

        On May 11, 2011, the $39 million non recourse loan on Shoppingtown Mall matured and the asset is being transitioned back to the loan servicer. As a result of the maturity default and on-going negotiations with the loan servicer, the Company has recorded a $35.7 million impairment charge on that asset as of June 30, 2011.

Earnings Guidance:

        Management is narrowing its previously issued FFO guidance range to a new range of $2.84 to $2.92. The Company's definition of FFO is in accordance with the definition provided by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") excludes impairment charges.

        A reconciliation of EPS to FFO per share and AFFO per share follows:

Estimated EPS range:

  $  .19 to $  .27

Plus: real estate depreciation and amortization

  $2.40 - $2.40
     

Estimated range for FFO per share—diluted:

  $2.59 to $2.67

Plus: impairment charges

  $  .25 - $  .25
     

Estimated Adjusted FFO per share—diluted

  $2.84 to $2.92
     

        The revised guidance factors in the recent acquisitions but excludes the impact of any possible future acquisitions or dispositions.

        Macerich is a fully integrated self-managed and self-administered real estate investment trust, which focuses on the acquisition, leasing, management, development and redevelopment of regional malls throughout the United States. Macerich now owns approximately 72 million square feet of gross leaseable area consisting primarily of interests in 70 regional malls.

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

(IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE AMOUNTS)

(a)
The Company has classified the results of operations on any dispositions as discontinued operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010.

(b)
This represents the outside partners' allocation of net income in the Chandler Fashion Center/Freehold Raceway Mall joint venture.

(c)
The Macerich Partnership, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership" or the "OP") has operating partnership units ("OP units"). OP units can be converted into shares of Company common stock. Conversion of the OP units not owned by the Company has been assumed for purposes of calculating the FFO per share and the weighted average number of shares outstanding. The computation of average shares for FFO—diluted includes the effect of share and unit-based compensation plans and convertible senior notes using the treasury stock method. It also assumes conversion of MACWH, LP preferred and common units to the extent they are dilutive to the calculation.

(d)
The Company uses FFO in addition to net income to report its operating and financial results and considers FFO and FFO-diluted as supplemental measures for the real estate industry and a supplement to Generally Accepted Accounting Principles ("GAAP") measures. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from extraordinary items and sales of depreciated operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Adjusted FFO ("AFFO") excludes impairments of consolidated assets. FFO and FFO on a diluted basis are useful to investors in comparing operating and financial results between periods. This is especially true since FFO excludes real estate depreciation and amortization, as the Company believes real estate values fluctuate based on market conditions rather than depreciating in value ratably on a straight-line basis over time. The Company believes that AFFO and AFFO on a diluted basis provide useful supplemental information regarding the Company's performance as they show a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company's operating performance and allow investors to more easily compare the Company's results without taking into account the unrelated impairment losses, which is a non-routine item. FFO and AFFO on a diluted basis are measures investors find most useful in measuring the dilutive impact of outstanding convertible securities. FFO and AFFO do not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) as defined by GAAP, and are not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs. The Company also cautions that FFO and AFFO as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures reported by other real estate investment trusts.

    Gains or losses on sales of undepreciated assets and the impact of amortization of above/below market leases have been included in FFO. The inclusion of gains on sales of undepreciated assets increased FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 by $1.7 million and $2.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.4 million respectively, or by $0.01 per share, $0.02 per share, $0.00 and $0.00 per share, respectively. Additionally, amortization of above/below market leases increased FFO for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 by $2.7 million, $5.6 million, $2.9 million and $5.8 million, respectively, or by $0.02 per share, $0.04 per share, $0.02 per share and $0.05 per share, respectively.

(e)
EBITDA represents earnings before interest, income taxes, depreciation, amortization, noncontrolling interests, extraordinary items, gain (loss) on remeasurement, sale or write down of assets and preferred dividends and includes joint ventures at their pro rata share. Management considers EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it helps investors understand the ability of the Company to incur and service debt and make capital expenditures. EBITDA should not be construed as an alternative to operating income as an indicator of the Company's operating performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (as determined in accordance with GAAP) or as a measure of liquidity. EBITDA, as presented, may not be comparable to similarly titled measurements reported by other companies.

(f)
The Company presents same-center NOI because the Company believes it is useful for investors to evaluate the operating performance of comparable centers. Same-center NOI is calculated using total EBITDA and subtracting out EBITDA from non-comparable centers and eliminating the management companies and the Company's general and administrative expenses. Same center NOI excludes the impact of lease termination income, staraight-line and above/below market adjustments to minimum rents.
