Scott Wolstein, Developers Diversified's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "We are pleased to announce this quarter's financial results, which reflect the strong performance of our portfolio and the ongoing health of our asset class. We have experienced various economic cycles in the past and have demonstrated the consistency and stability of our operating revenues. From a balance sheet perspective, we believe that we are appropriately positioned to maximize our cash flows and financial flexibility."

Mr. Wolstein continued, "Although we are highly focused on the current uncertainty in the capital markets and economy, we are encouraged by the simple facts that consumers are still shopping, tenants are still opening new locations, and private capital is still investing in retail real estate. While we have consistently managed our balance sheet in a conservative fashion with appropriate amounts of equity and long-term debt, we also continually refine our investment and capital market strategies in anticipation of changes in capital market conditions."

Financial Results:

Net income applicable to common shareholders was $32.2 million, or $0.27 per share (diluted and basic), for the three-month period ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $48.2 million, or $0.44 per share (diluted and basic), for the prior-year comparable period. The decrease in net income for the three-month period ended December 31, 2007, is primarily related to a $14.7 million reduction in gains on sales of real estate in 2007 as compared to 2006 and a decrease in lease termination fees of $5.5 million, offset by increases in same store net operating income and operating results from the merger with Inland Retail Real Estate Trust, Inc. ("IRRETI").

For the three-month periods ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, FFO per share was $0.82 (diluted and basic). FFO applicable to common shareholders was $100.0 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $90.1 million for the three-month period ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 11.0%. The increase in FFO for the three-month period ended December 31, 2007, is primarily due to an increase in joint venture FFO and increases in same store net operating income and operating results from the merger with IRRETI, partially offset by a reduction in gains on sale of real estate and lease termination income.

Net income applicable to common shareholders was $225.1 million, or $1.85 per share (diluted) and $1.86 per share (basic), for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $198.1 million, or $1.81 per share (diluted) and $1.82 per share (basic), for the previous year. The increase in net income for the year ended December 31, 2007, is primarily related to the merger with IRRETI, the release of certain valuation reserves, income earned from recently formed joint ventures and promoted income related to the sale of assets from joint ventures. These increases were partially offset by a non-cash charge relating to the redemption of preferred shares, certain merger integration costs and a charge relating to the departure of the Company's former president.

For the year ended December 31, 2007, FFO per share was $3.79 (diluted) and $3.80 (basic) as compared to $3.41 (diluted) and $3.43 (basic) for the previous year, an increase of 11.1% on a diluted basis. FFO applicable to common shareholders was $465.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2007, as compared to $377.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2006, an increase of 23.1%.

FFO is a supplemental non-GAAP financial measurement used as a standard in the real estate industry and a widely accepted measure of real estate investment trust ("REIT") performance. Management believes that FFO provides an additional indicator of the financial performance of a REIT. The Company also believes that FFO more appropriately measures the core operations of the Company and provides a benchmark to its peer group. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, is not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered as an alternative to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as an indicator of the Company's operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity. FFO is defined and calculated by the Company as net income, adjusted to exclude: (i) preferred dividends, (ii) gains from disposition of depreciable real estate property, except for those sold through the Company's merchant building program, (iii) sales of securities, (iv) extraordinary items, (v) cumulative effect of changes in accounting standards and (vi) certain non-cash items. These non-cash items principally include real property depreciation and amortization of intangibles, equity income from joint ventures and equity income from minority equity investments and adding the Company's proportionate share of FFO from its unconsolidated joint ventures and minority equity investments, determined on a consistent basis. Other real estate companies may calculate FFO in a different manner. A reconciliation of net income to FFO is presented in the financial highlights section.

Leasing:

The following results from the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2007, highlight continued strong leasing activity throughout the portfolio:

--  Executed 138 new leases aggregating 0.8 million square feet and 265
    renewals aggregating 1.4 million square feet.

--  On a cash basis, rental rates on new leases increased 32.5% and rental
    rates on renewals increased 6.3%.  Overall, rental rates for new leases and
    renewals increased 10.5%.

--  Total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot,
    excluding Brazil, as of December 31, 2007 was $12.33, as compared to $11.74
    at December 31, 2006.

--  Core portfolio leased rate was 96.0% as of December 31, 2007 as
    compared to 96.2% at December 31, 2006.
    

The Company and its joint ventures (at 100%) estimate total annual recurring leasing capital expenditures to be approximately $25 million ($0.21 per square foot of owned GLA) in 2008.

Acquisitions:

In November 2007, through a 50% joint venture interest, the Company acquired a 207,000 square foot shopping center in San Antonio, Texas for approximately $16.9 million, of which $12.8 million was funded through the use of a construction loan. This center is consolidated in the results of the Company. Through its joint venture, the Company intends to redevelop the shopping center.

Common Share Repurchase Program:

During the second quarter of 2007, the Company's Board of Directors authorized a common share repurchase program. Under the terms of the program, the Company may purchase up to a maximum value of $500 million of its common shares during the next two years. Through February 11, 2008, the Company repurchased 5.6 million of its common shares in open market transactions at an aggregate cost of approximately $261.9 million, which reflects a weighted-average price per share of $46.66.

Wholly-Owned and Consolidated Joint Venture Development:

The Company currently has the following wholly-owned and consolidated shopping center projects under construction:

    (a) Revenues for the three-month periods ended December 31, 2007 and
        2006 included approximately $2.7 million and $1.3 million,
        respectively, resulting from the recognition of straight-line rents
        of which the Company's proportionate share is $0.4 million and $0.2
        million, respectively.  Revenues for the years ended December 31,
        2007 and 2006 included approximately $9.3 million and $5.1 million,

        increased by $1.6 million for the years ended December 31, 2007 and
        2006, respectively. These adjustments reflect basis differences
        impacting amortization and depreciation and gain on dispositions.
        During the year ended December 31, 2007, the Company received $14.3
        million of promoted income, of which $13.6 million related to the
        sale of assets from the DDR Markaz Joint Venture which is included
        in the Company's proportionate share of net income and FFO.

        At December 31, 2007 and 2006, the Company owned joint venture
        interests, excluding consolidated joint ventures, in 274 and 117

    The preferred operating partnership units were redeemed in June 2007.

(G) During the first quarter of 2007, the Company released to income
    approximately $15.0 million of previously established valuation
    allowances against certain deferred tax assets as management had
    determined, due to several factors, that it is more likely than not
    that the deferred tax asset will be realized. The release was primarily
    due to the Company's increased use of its taxable REIT subsidiaries
    relating to its merchant building program.

(I) For purposes of computing FFO per share (basic), the weighted average
    shares outstanding were adjusted to reflect the conversion of
    approximately 0.9 million Operating Partnership Units (OP Units)
    outstanding at December 31, 2007 and 2006, into 0.9 million common
    shares of the Company for both of the three-month periods ended

    years ended December 31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, on the weighted
    average basis.  The weighted average diluted shares and OP Units
    outstanding, for purposes of computing FFO, were approximately 122.5
    million and 110.4 million for the three-month periods ended December
    31, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and 122.7 and 110.8 million for the
