TANGER REPORTS YEAR END RESULTS FOR 2011
Funds From Operations Increases 37.6% for the Quarter and 22.5% for the Year
Same Center NOI Increases 6.2% in the Fourth Quarter

Greensboro, NC, February 14, 2012, Tanger Factory Outlet Centers, Inc. (NYSE:SKT) today reported its financial results for the quarter and year ended December 31, 2011. Funds from operations available to common shareholders (“FFO”), a widely accepted supplemental measure of REIT performance, increased 37.6% for the three months ended December 31, 2011, to $41.3 million, or $0.42 per share as compared to FFO of $30.1 million, or $0.32 per share for the three months ended December 31, 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, FFO increased 22.5% to $138.5 million, or $1.44 per share as compared to FFO of $113.1 million, or $1.22 per share for the year ended December 31, 2010.

“We had a tremendously busy and successful year in 2011. Our stable, well diversified portfolio of outlet centers produced robust internal growth, while our new developments and acquisitions added incremental FFO throughout the year,” commented Steven B. Tanger, President and Chief Executive Officer. “Through it all, we maintained our conservative balance sheet, benefiting from a secondary offering of 4.6 million common shares and a recast of our unsecured revolving credit facilities. Our dividend continues to be well covered by our operating cash flow,” he added.

Balance Sheet Summary

On July 6, 2011, Tanger successfully closed a public offering of 4.6 million common shares at $25.662 per share; net proceeds to the company of $117.4 million. Proceeds were used to repay borrowings under the company's unsecured revolving lines of credit and for general corporate purposes.






On November 8, 2011, the company amended its unsecured revolving lines of credit, increasing the total capacity from $400 million to $520 million, reducing the LIBOR spread and facility fee by a combined 80 basis points and extending the maturity through November 2015. The amended lines of credit currently bear interest at LIBOR + 125 (previously 190), require the quarterly payment of facility fees at an annual rate of 25 (previously 40) basis points on the total committed amounts, and include financial covenants that do not differ materially from those of our former facilities.

As of December 31, 2011, Tanger's total market capitalization had increased 26.8% from the prior year, to approximately $3.9 billion including $1.0 billion of debt outstanding, equating to a 26.3% debt-to-total market capitalization ratio.

As of December 31, 2011, 65.2% of the company's debt was at fixed interest rates and the company had $357.1 million outstanding on its $520.0 million in available unsecured lines of credit. During 2011, Tanger continued to maintain a strong interest coverage ratio of 4.07 times.

Subsequent to year end, Tanger engaged Wells Fargo Securities, LLC, SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc. and PNC Capital Markets, LLC as Lead Arrangers for a seven-year $250 million unsecured term loan. The company is pleased to announce that the transaction is fully committed and that the term loan, which is subject to definitive documentation and customary conditions, is expected to close prior to the end of February. The term loan will be interest only and is expected to mature in the first quarter of 2019. It is pre-payable without penalty beginning the second quarter of 2015. Based on Tanger's current credit ratings, the new loan will have an initial interest rate of LIBOR + 180 basis points. Tanger intends to use the net proceeds of the term loan to reduce the outstanding balances on its $520 million in unsecured revolving credit facilities and for general corporate purposes.
  
Highly Productive Portfolio Continues to Drive Operating Results

During 2011, Tanger executed 463 leases, totaling 2,007,000 square feet within its consolidated properties. Lease renewals during the year accounted for 1,459,000 square feet, which generated a 13.1% increase in average base rental rates. Base rental rate increases on re-tenanted space during the year averaged 50.1% and accounted for the remaining 548,000 square feet.

Tanger continues to derive its rental income from a diverse group of national brand name manufacturers and retailers with no single tenant accounting for more than 8.0% of its gross leasable area and 6.5% of its total base and percentage rentals.

Same center net operating income for Tanger's consolidated properties increased 6.2% for the fourth quarter and 5.3% for the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the same periods in 2010. This follows same center annual net operating income increases of 2.6% in 2010, 1.4% in 2009, 4.1% in 2008, 5.3% in 2007, and 3.1% in 2006.

Tanger's broad geographic representation and established brand name within the factory outlet industry continues to generate solid operating results. The company's consolidated portfolio of properties had a year-end occupancy rate of 98.8%, compared to 98.4% for the same period in 2010. This represents the 31th consecutive year since the company commenced operations in 1981 that it has achieved a year-end portfolio occupancy rate at or above 95%.

Reported tenant comparable sales for the company's consolidated properties for the rolling twelve months ended December 31, 2011 increased 3.5% to $366 per square foot. Reported tenant comparable sales for the three months ended December 31, 2011 increased 4.9%. Tanger's average tenant occupancy cost as a percentage of average sales was 8.4% for 2011 compared to 8.3% in 2010, 8.5% in 2009, 8.2% in 2008, 7.7% in 2007, and 7.4% in 2006.







Investment Activities Provide Potential Future Growth

On March 31, 2011, Tanger reopened its completely redeveloped Hilton Head I center in Bluffton, South Carolina. The center and its sister center, Tanger Hilton Head II, are located off I-95 at South Carolina Exit 8 on Highway 278 in the Hilton Head Resort Area. Tanger I, a LEED® Certified property, includes 177,000 square feet of outlet space featuring an array of more than 40 popular outlet names such as Adidas, Brooks Brothers Factory Store, Donna Karan, Hugo Boss, J. Crew, Joe's Jeans, Kenneth Cole, New Balance, Saks Fifth Avenue OFF 5TH, Talbots, Theory, Under Armour and many more. Currently, the center has leases signed or out for signature on 98.3% of the leasable square feet. In addition, the property features four pad sites, three of which are leased to Panera Bread, Longhorn Steakhouse, and Olive Garden.
On June 28, 2011 the company closed on the acquisition of Prime Outlets at Jeffersonville from Ohio Factory Stores Partnership, a subsidiary of Indiana-based Simon Property Group (NYSE:SPG), for a purchase price of $134 million. The property is Ohio's largest outlet shopping center, centrally located in the tri-city area of Cincinnati, Columbus and Dayton, and measures approximately 410,000 square feet.
On July 15, 2011, the company closed on the acquisition of substantially all of the economic interests in Phase I & II of Atlantic City Outlets - The Walk and Ocean City Factory Outlets, and subsequently, in November 2011 purchased substantially all of the economic interests in Phase III of Atlantic City Outlets - The Walk. The combined acquisition price, once all earn-out provisions are settled, is expected to be $200.3 million, consisting of approximately $116.8 million in cash (of which $3.0 million is currently contingent consideration) and the assumption of approximately $83.5 million of indebtedness.  Including all phases, the Atlantic City asset includes approximately 490,000 square feet, and Ocean City totals approximately 199,000 square feet.   In addition to expanding the size of Tanger's portfolio, the acquisition increases the company's geographic footprint into New Jersey and Maryland. 
On September 30, 2011, the company closed on the acquisition of substantially all of the economic interests in The Outlets at Hershey, a popular 247,000 square foot outlet center located adjacent to Hershey Chocolate World and Amusement Park on Route 39 near Interstate 81 in Hershey, Pennsylvania. The $56.0 million in total consideration consisted of approximately $24.6 million in cash and the assumption of approximately $31.4 million of indebtedness.
On December 9, 2011, Tanger announced that through its 50/50 co-ownership agreement with RioCan Real Estate Investment Trust, the acquisition of the Cookstown Outlet Mall. The existing outlet center, located approximately 50 kilometers north of the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) directly off of Highway 400 in the town of Innisfil, Ontario, was acquired for $47.4 million, plus an additional $13.8 million for excess land payable upon the seller meeting certain conditions, for an aggregate purchase price of $61.2 million. RioCan will provide development and property management services and Tanger will provide leasing and marketing services. In connection with the purchase, the co-owners assumed the in place financing of $29.6 million. The property was built in 1995 and is approximately 159,000 square feet with the potential to expand to approximately 320,000 square feet. This well established outlet center features many national retailers such as, Coach Outlet, Adidas, Tommy Hilfiger Outlet, Puma and Rockport. The acquisition of this property enables the co-owners to begin to implement their outlet center strategy immediately, as well as provides the flexibility to further develop, through expansion, the site into a full-scale Tanger Outlet Center.
During 2011, Tanger announced the identification of four projects where it is planning to build outlet shopping centers. Construction began on the project located in Texas City (Houston), Texas on August 30, 2011 through a 50/50 joint venture arrangement with Simon Property Group, Inc. The center will be located approximately 30 miles south of Houston and 20 miles north of Galveston on the highly traveled Interstate 45, Exit 17 at Holland Road. Houston is currently the fourth largest U.S. city, and Galveston is a popular Gulf Coast getaway destination that attracts over 5 million visitors a year. When completed, we expect the center will play host to over 90 brand name and designer outlet stores in the first phase of approximately 350,000 square feet, with ample room for expansion for a total build out of approximately 470,000 square feet.





We plan to move forward with our previously announced site in Glendale, Arizona, beginning construction within the next week. Currently, we expect the opening of the center to be in time for the 2012 Holiday shopping season.

The two remaining identified sites are located in Scottsdale, Arizona and in National Harbor, the Washington, DC metro area's premier waterfront resort. Both of the projects are currently in the predevelopment phase.

Tanger Expects Solid FFO Per Share In 2012

Based on Tanger's internal budgeting process, the company's view on current market conditions, and the strength and stability of its core portfolio, management currently believes its net income available to common shareholders for 2012 will be between $0.60 and $0.66 per share and its FFO available to common shareholders for 2012 will be between $1.57 and $1.63 per share. The company's earnings estimates reflect a projected increase in same-center net operating income of between 4% and 5%. The earnings estimates also assume the seven year unsecured term loan discussed earlier closes as anticipated and that the company's general and administrative expenses will average approximately $8.3 million per quarter. The company's estimates do not include the impact of any rent termination fees, any additional potential refinancing transactions, the sale of any out parcels of land, or the sale or acquisition of any properties.

a.
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net income (loss), to which it is reconciled. We believe that for a clear understanding of our operating results, FFO should be considered along with net income as presented elsewhere in this report. FFO is presented because it is a widely accepted financial indicator used by certain investors and analysts to analyze and compare one equity REIT with another on the basis of operating performance. FFO is generally defined as net income (loss), computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, before extraordinary items and gains (losses) on sale or disposal of depreciable operating properties, plus depreciation and amortization uniquely significant to real estate and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We caution that the calculation of FFO may vary from entity and as such the presentation of FFO by us may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other reporting companies. FFO does not represent net income or cash flow from operations as defined by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America and should not be considered an alternative to net income as indication of operating performance or to cash flows from operations as a measure of liquidity. FFO is not necessarily indicative of cash flows available to fund dividends to shareholders and other cash needs.

b.
The convertible operating partnership units (noncontrolling interest in operating partnership) are not dilutive on earnings per share computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.

c.
Excludes Wisconsin Dells, Wisconsin; Deer Park, New York and Cookstown, Ontario properties which were operated by us through unconsolidated joint ventures.
