"BioMed's robust business model and disciplined execution were clearly evident from the strong results of the fourth quarter and full-year 2009," said Alan D. Gold, BioMed's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer. "Powerful long-term demand drivers for the life science industry continue to fuel drug research and development efforts throughout the seven core life science markets which, in turn, attract capital used to fund mission-critical laboratory space. Despite macro-economic headwinds, BioMed succeeded in leasing more than 1.5 million square feet of laboratory and office space in 2009 and delivering over one million square feet of space from our development pipeline, which was collectively 91% leased at year-end, to premier research institutions and large, publicly traded companies. These exceptional results in 2009, and throughout our five-year history, demonstrate the ability of our outstanding team of professionals to support the life science industry's real estate needs and position the company well for future growth opportunities, continuing to create value for our shareholders."
Fourth Quarter and Full-Year 2009 Financial Results
Total revenues for the fourth quarter were $88.2 million, compared to $83.0 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of 6.3%. For 2009, total revenues increased 19.6% to $361.2 million from $302.0 million in 2008. Rental revenues for the fourth quarter were $67.3 million compared to $63.5 million for the same period in 2008, an increase of 6.0%. Rental revenues for 2009 were $269.9 million, compared to $227.5 million in 2008, an increase of 18.6%.
The same property portfolio was 89.1% leased as of December 31, 2009. Same property net operating income on a cash basis increased 2.0% for the quarter compared to the same period in 2008. Excluding four properties for which lease terminations resulted in the company recognizing $10.3 million of other income during 2009, net operating income on a cash basis increased 2.8%, primarily as a result of contractual rent escalations.
Net income available to common stockholders for the fourth quarter was $477,000, or $0.00 per diluted share, compared to $5.6 million, or $0.07 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008. FFO for the quarter was $28.0 million, or $0.28 per diluted share, compared to $32.3 million, or $0.39 per diluted share, for the same period in 2008. Excluding the impact of extinguishment of debt associated with the repurchase of exchangeable senior notes during the quarter pursuant to a cash tender offer, net income available to stockholders would have been $3.4 million, or $0.03 per diluted share, while FFO would have been $30.9 million, or $0.31 per diluted share.
Net income available to common stockholders for 2009 was $41.8 million, or $0.45 per diluted share, compared to $44.1 million, or $0.61 per diluted share, in 2008. FFO for 2009 increased 17.4% to $155.5 million, or $1.64 per diluted share, from $132.5 million, or $1.76 per diluted share, for 2008.
Excluding the impact of the extinguishment of debt related to the tender for the exchangeable notes in the fourth quarter, FFO for the year would have been $158.4 million, or $1.67 per diluted share.
FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measure used in the real estate industry to measure and compare the operating performance of real estate companies. A complete reconciliation containing adjustments from GAAP net income available to common stockholders to FFO and a definition of FFO are included at the end of this release.
Financial information for the current and, where applicable, prior periods has been presented to reflect the application of new accounting guidance on noncontrolling interests, convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, and share-based payment transactions that are participating securities adopted by the company effective January 1, 2009.
Financing Activity
At December 31, 2009, the company's debt to total assets ratio was 41.5%. During the fourth quarter, the company completed the following debt-related transactions:
-- Increased aggregate borrowing capacity on its unsecured line of credit
by $120 million to $720 million, with no other material changes to the
terms of the facility.
-- Completed cash tender offer for $61.3 million aggregate principal
amount of exchangeable senior notes.
Subsequent to the end of the quarter, the company announced that its operating partnership subsidiary, BioMed Realty, L.P., completed a private placement of $180 million of 3.75% exchangeable senior notes due 2030.
In addition to the fourth quarter activity described above, the company completed the following debt-related transactions in 2009:
-- Closed on a $350 million loan for the Center for Life Science |
Boston.
-- Closed on an $18 million loan for the company's 9865 Towne Centre
Drive property in San Diego, California.
-- Closed on a $203 million secured loan facility for the company's joint
venture with a fund managed by PREI® which owns, among other
properties, approximately 600,000 square feet of life science space in
Cambridge, Massachusetts.
-- Repurchased $20.8 million face value of exchangeable senior notes at
approximately 61% of par, resulting in a gain on extinguishment of
debt of approximately $7.0 million.
-- Repaid approximately $44.0 million of mortgage debt prior to its
scheduled maturity.
During 2009, the company completed the following equity issuances the net proceeds of which were used to repay a portion of the outstanding borrowings on the company's unsecured line of credit and for other general corporate and working capital purposes:
-- In May 2009, the company completed a follow-on public offering of
common stock, raising net proceeds of approximately $166.9 million.
-- In November 2009, the company raised approximately $7.3 million in net
proceeds from the sale of common stock pursuant to its continuous
offering program established in September 2009.
Commenting on the financial results for the fourth quarter and full year, Kent Griffin, President and Chief Financial Officer of BioMed, said, "We maintained a steady course in 2009, continuing our proactive approach to managing our capital structure. We successfully executed a number of important, but measured steps in advancing our capital plan, including the $350 million single-asset, non-recourse secured loan in June and the successful upsizing of our unsecured line of credit from $600 million to $720 million in December with no change in terms. These were landmark financing transactions, whether considered in isolation or when viewed in the light of the macro-economic environment and the financial market collapse. In combination with our May 2009 common stock offering and January 2010 exchangeable senior notes offering, these achievements position BioMed with an enviable capital position and exceptional financial flexibility. We are very appreciative of the strong, sustained support we have received from our lenders, financial partners and investors."

Earnings Guidance
Based on the strong results for the fourth quarter and the dilutive impact of the exchangeable notes offering in January 2010, the company has revised its initial 2010 guidance for net income per diluted share and FFO per diluted share. The company's revised guidance is set forth and reconciled below.
2010
(Low - High)
Projected net income per diluted share
available to common stockholders $0.21 - $0.31
Add:
Noncontrolling interests in operating
partnership $0.01
Real estate depreciation and amortization $1.01
Projected FFO per diluted share $1.23 - $1.33
Consistent with the initial 2010 guidance, the company's revised 2010 guidance does not include the impact of potential future financing and investment activities.
The foregoing estimates are forward-looking and reflect management's view of current and future market conditions, including certain assumptions with respect to leasing activity, rental rates, occupancy levels, financing transactions, interest rates, and the amount and timing of development and redevelopment activities. The company's actual results may differ materially from these estimates.

Financial information for the current and, where applicable, the prior periods has been presented to reflect the application of new accounting guidance on noncontrolling interests, convertible debt instruments that may be settled in cash upon conversion, and share-based payment transactions that are participating securities adopted by the company effective January 1, 2009.
We present funds from operations, or FFO, available to common shares and partnership and LTIP units because we consider it an important supplemental measure of our operating performance and believe it is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. Because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization unique to real estate, gains and losses from property dispositions and extraordinary items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities and interest costs, providing perspective not immediately apparent from net income. We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, or NAREIT, in its March 1995 White Paper (as amended in November 1999 and April 2002). As defined by NAREIT, FFO represents net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of loan origination costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. Our computation may differ from the methodology for calculating FFO utilized by other equity REITs and, accordingly, may not be comparable to such other REITs. Further, FFO does not represent amounts available for management's discretionary use because of needed capital replacement or expansion, debt service obligations, or other commitments and uncertainties. FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our financial performance or to cash flow from operating activities (computed in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends or make distributions.
