Acquisition Activity
Camden completed acquisitions of nine apartment communities during the quarter for approximately $317 million through its discretionary investment funds (“Fund”), in which it owns a 20% interest.  The communities acquired are located in the Tampa, Houston, Dallas, Austin and San Antonio metropolitan areas and consist of 3,407 apartment homes with an average age of three years.

Development Activity
Lease-up continued during the second quarter at Camden Ivy Hall, a $17 million joint venture community owned by the Fund which is currently 88% occupied.  Construction continued during the quarter on three wholly-owned development communities:  Camden LaVina, a $61 million project in Orlando, FL; Camden Summerfield II, a $32 million project in Landover, MD; and Camden Royal Oaks II, a $14 million project in Houston, TX.  Initial occupancy at these communities is scheduled for mid- to late 2011, with construction completions expected by mid-2012.

The Company also began construction during the quarter on three additional wholly-owned development communities comprising 978 apartment homes for a total cost of $141 million:  Camden Montague in Tampa, FL, a $23 million project with 192 apartment homes; Camden Westchase in Tampa, FL, a $52 million project with 348 apartment homes; and Camden Town Square in Orlando, FL, a $66 million project with 438 apartment homes.

In addition, Camden sold two land parcels located in Washington, DC and Austin, TX to the Fund for approximately $12.5 million during the quarter. The Company was reimbursed for previously written-off third party development costs related to these parcels, resulting in a gain of $4.7 million recorded in the second quarter.  Construction on those communities - Camden South Capitol, an $88 million project with 276 apartment homes, and Camden Amber Oaks II, a $25 million project with 244 apartment homes – commenced during the quarter.

Equity Issuance
During the second quarter, Camden issued 550,355 common shares through its at-the-market (“ATM”) share offering programs at an average price of $61.88 per share, for total net consideration of approximately $33.3 million.  Subsequent to quarter-end, the Company issued an additional 499,900 common shares through its ATM program at an average price of $65.77 per share, for total net consideration of approximately $32.4 million.  Year-to-date through July 2011, Camden has issued 1,121,598 common shares through its ATM programs at an average price of $63.12 per share, for total net consideration of approximately $69.5 million.

 
 

 
 
Earnings Guidance
Camden updated its earnings guidance for 2011 based on its current and expected views of the apartment market and general economic conditions.  Full-year 2011 FFO is expected to be $2.65 to $2.75 per diluted share, and full-year 2011 EPS is expected to be $0.21 to $0.31 per diluted share.  Third quarter 2011 earnings guidance is $0.74 to $0.78 per diluted share for FFO and $0.14 to $0.18 per diluted share for EPS.  Guidance for EPS excludes potential future gains on the sale of properties.  Camden intends to update its earnings guidance to the market on a quarterly basis.

The Company’s 2011 earnings guidance is based on projections of same property revenue growth between 4.75% and 5.75%, expense growth between 2.75% and 3.25%, and NOI growth between 6.25% and 7.25%.  Additional information on the Company’s 2011 financial outlook and a reconciliation of expected net income attributable to common shareholders to expected FFO are included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

This document contains certain non-GAAP financial measures management believes are useful in evaluating an equity REIT's performance.  Camden's definitions and calculations of non-GAAP financial measures may differ from those used by other REITs, and thus may not be comparable.  The non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indication of our operating performance, or to net cash provided by operating activities as a measure of our liquidity.
                     
                     
                     
FFO
                 
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) currently defines FFO as net income attributable to common shares computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from depreciable operating property sales, plus real estate depreciation and amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.  Camden’s definition of diluted FFO also assumes conversion of all dilutive convertible securities, including minority interests, which are convertible into common equity.  The Company considers FFO to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance because, by excluding gains or losses on dispositions of operating properties and excluding depreciation, FFO can help one compare the operating performance of a company's real estate between periods or as compared to different companies.  A reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders to FFO is provided below:

Net Operating Income (NOI)
NOI is defined by the Company as total property income less property operating and maintenance expenses less real estate taxes.  The Company considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it reflects the operating performance of our communities without allocation of corporate level property management overhead or general and administrative costs.

EBITDA
EBITDA is defined by the Company as earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization, including net operating income from discontinued operations, excluding equity in (income) loss of joint ventures, (gain) loss on sale of unconsolidated joint venture interests, and income (loss) allocated to noncontrolling interests. The Company considers EBITDA to be an appropriate supplemental measure of operating performance to net income attributable to common shareholders because it represents income before non-cash depreciation and the cost of debt, and excludes gains or losses from property dispositions.
