MACK-CALI REALTY CORPORATION

REPORTS FOURTH QUARTER AND FULL YEAR 2017 RESULTS

Jersey City, New Jersey - February 21, 2018 - Mack-Cali Realty Corporation (NYSE: CLI) today reported its results for the fourth quarter and full year 2017.

FOURTH QUARTER 2017 HIGHLIGHTS

Michael J. DeMarco, Chief Executive Officer, commented “We made considerable progress during 2017 in repositioning our office portfolio and converting subordinate interests in our Roseland residential portfolio into majority owned positions.  Our office disposition activity has allowed us to further streamline property operations and deepen our focus on core markets.  As Roseland’s developments are put into service, we anticipate its contribution to operating income will grow meaningfully over the next three years.  While leasing in the fourth quarter did not meet our expectations, for 2018 the Company is laser focused on waterfront leasing and executing an additional $400 million of non-core dispositions.  Our approach positions Mack-Cali for NAV accretion and stronger earnings growth potential in the years ahead.”

FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

* All per share amounts presented below are on a diluted basis.

Net income (loss) available to common shareholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2017 amounted to $2.6 million, or $(0.01) per share, as compared to $15.2 million, or $0.17 per share, for the quarter ended December 31, 2016. For the year ended December 31, 2017, net income available to common shareholders equaled $23.2 million, or $0.06 per share, as compared to $117.2 million, or $1.30 per share, for the same period last year.

The Company’s residential same store portfolio increased net operating income by 6.0 percent for the fourth quarter and 4.2 percent for the year.  The same store portfolio is comprised of 3,528 units that were 96.6 percent leased at year-end.  The Company’s 2017 lease-up properties, which consist of Urby Harborside, Chase II at Overlook Ridge and Quarry Place at Tuckahoe, leased at an accelerated pace.  Collectively, the properties, which comprise 1,162 units, are currently 96.7 percent leased.

ACQUISITIONS AND DISPOSITIONS/TRANSACTION ACTIVITY

The Company continued its repositioning efforts in the fourth quarter with the sale of three properties for $56 million.  Total disposition activity for the year totaled $528 million.  Additional dispositions of approximately $400 million are planned for 2018 and expected to be completed by the end of the second quarter.  This will conclude the Company’s major disposition program with future sales occurring on a select one-off basis.

2017 office property acquisitions totaled $395 million.  In 2017, the Company also acquired residential development sites, including a mortgage note, totaling $212 million.  The Company also acquired a multifamily property valued at $315 million using Rockpoint Capital and assuming a mortgage of $165 million.  All of the acquisitions were funded in a tax efficient manner and with proceeds from the Company’s disposition program and Rockpoint’s capital.

INFORMATION ABOUT FFO

Funds from operations (“FFO”) is defined as net income (loss) before noncontrolling interests of unitholders, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), excluding gains or losses from depreciable rental property transactions, and impairments related to depreciable rental property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that FFO per share is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. The Company further believes that as FFO per share excludes the effect of depreciation, gains (or losses) from sales of properties and impairments related to depreciable rental property (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO per share can facilitate comparison of operating performance between equity REITs.

FFO per share should not be considered as an alternative to net income available to common shareholders per share as an indication of the Company’s performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.  FFO per share presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO per share presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company’s FFO per share is comparable to the FFO per share of real estate companies that use the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”).  A reconciliation of net income per share to FFO per share is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Core FFO is defined as FFO, as adjusted for certain items to facilitate comparative measurement of the Company’s performance over time.  Core FFO is presented solely as supplemental disclosure that the Company’s management believes provides useful information to investors and analysts of its results, after adjusting for certain items to facilitate comparability of its performance from period to period. Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not intended to represent cash flow and is not indicative of cash flows provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP.  As there is not a generally accepted definition established for Core FFO, the Company’s measures of Core FFO may not be comparable to the Core FFO reported by other REITs.  A reconciliation of net income per share to Core FFO in dollars and per share is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
