Adjusted EBITDA increases by 27% from same period last year

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (May 7, 2012) - Kennedy-Wilson Holdings, Inc. (NYSE: KW) (“Kennedy Wilson”, "we," "us," "our," or the “Company”), an international real estate investment and services company, today reported a first quarter 2012 net loss attributable to common shareholders of $3.4 million (or $0.07 per basic and diluted share) compared to a net loss of $1.0 million (or $0.02 per basic and diluted share) for the same period in 2011. Net loss attributable to common shareholders, adjusted for stock-based compensation expense, was $2.5 million (or $0.05 per basic share) compared to net income of $0.2 million for the same period in 2011.

The Company's earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and stock-based compensation expense (“Adjusted EBITDA”) for the first quarter 2012 was $19.2 million compared to $15.1 million for the same period in 2011.
