REGENCY CENTERS REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS

Jacksonville, Fla. (November 3, 2011) — Regency Centers Corporation (NYSE:REG) announced today financial and operating results for the quarter ended September 30, 2011.

Earnings

Regency reported Recurring Funds From Operations (Recurring FFO) for the third quarter of $54.9 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, compared to $50.4 million and $0.60 per diluted share for the same period in 2010. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, Recurring FFO was $156.3 million and $1.77 per diluted share, compared to $151.9 million and $1.82 per diluted share for the same period last year.

Regency reported net income attributable to common stockholders for the quarter of $8.5 million, or $0.09 per diluted share, compared to $7.9 million and $0.09 per diluted share for the same period in 2010. Net income attributable to common stockholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2011, was $23.6 million and $0.26 per diluted share, compared to $27.0 million and $0.32 per diluted share for the same period last year.

In response to recent clarifications regarding NAREIT’s definition of Funds From Operations (FFO), Regency has amended its reporting of FFO to exclude impairments from its calculation for all periods presented. FFO for the third quarter was $56.0 million, or $0.62 per diluted share. For the same period in 2010, the Company reported FFO of $51.7 million and $0.62 per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2011, FFO was $163.8 million and $1.85 per diluted share, compared to $154.4 million and $1.85 per diluted share for the same period last year.

Regency reports FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT) as a supplemental operating performance measure. The Company considers this a meaningful performance measurement in the Real Estate Investment Trust industry. Regency also reports Recurring FFO as FFO excluding the impact of gains from the sale of development projects and outparcels, net of related taxes and dead deal costs, gains and losses from the early extinguishment of debt and preferred stock, restructuring charges, transaction fees and promotes and other non-core items.

Capital Markets

Unsecured Revolving Credit Facility

During the quarter, the Company closed on the refinance of its $600 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Facility”). The Facility bears interest at an annual rate of LIBOR plus 150 basis points (inclusive of a 25 basis point facility fee) and is based on the higher of the Company’s current corporate credit ratings from Moody’s and S&P. The Facility will expire in September 2015 and includes a one-year extension option at the Company’s option.

Partnership Financings

During the quarter, Regency and GRI locked the interest rate on $192.8 million of mortgage loan financings, secured by eight assets in its GRI partnership, to refinance a portion of the partnership’s $229.2 million of secured debt maturing in mid-2012. The refinance includes a weighted average interest rate of 4.5% over a weighted average 10-year term and is interest-only for the first year on six of the eight assets. This loan is approximately 60% of combined property values and has a debt yield of approximately 10%. The financing will close in two tranches to maximize prepayment flexibility.

On November 1, 2011, the Board of Directors declared a quarterly cash dividend of $0.4625 per share, payable on November 30, 2011 to shareholders of record on November 16, 2011.
