Developers Diversified Realty Corporation (NYSE: DDR), the nation's leading owner, manager and developer of market-dominant shopping centers, today reported operating results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2008.
--  Funds From Operations ("FFO") per diluted share was $0.83 and net
    income per diluted share was $0.23 for the three-month period ended
    September 30, 2008, as compared to the prior-year comparable period of
    $0.80 and $0.26, respectively.  The increase in FFO per share for the three-
    month period ended September 30, 2008, primarily represents solid operating
    results from the Company's core properties.  The decrease in net income per
    share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, primarily
    represents increased depreciation costs.  There are several one-time items
    included in this quarter's results such as the release of previously
    established tax reserves offset by certain litigation related matters, the
    loss on sale of one of the Company's business centers and the effect of
    mark-to-market hedging adjustments at certain joint ventures.  The net
    impact of the items mentioned above is approximately zero.

--  FFO per diluted share was $2.48 and net income per diluted share was
    $0.75 for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, as compared to
    the prior-year comparable period of $2.97 and $1.59, respectively.  The
    decrease in FFO and net income per share for the nine-month period ended
    September 30, 2008, is primarily related to a reduction in the amount of
    transactional income recognized in 2008 as described below.

--  Executed leases during the third quarter totaled approximately 2.8
    million square feet, including 176 new leases and 289 renewals.

--  On a cash basis, base rental rates increased 16.4% on new leases, 6.9%
    on renewals and 8.9% overall.

--  Core portfolio leased percentage at September 30, 2008 was 94.5%.

--  Same store net operating income ("NOI") for the year increased 1.8%
    over the prior-year comparable period.
    

Scott A. Wolstein, Developers Diversified's Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, stated, "I'm pleased to announce this quarter's financial results, which reflect consumers' continued shift to value-oriented retailers. Our centers and our largest tenants have been, and should continue to be, the relative winners, thereby contributing to the consistency of our core operations. We see this consumer trend reflected in our leasing volume, which set an all-time company record in terms of number of new leases executed in a quarter, and in our leasing spreads, which are comparable to historic averages on an overall, blended basis."

Financial Results:

Net income applicable to common shareholders was $27.9 million, or $0.23 per share (diluted and basic), for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $32.7 million, or $0.26 per share (diluted) and $0.27 per share (basic), for the prior-year comparable period.

For the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, FFO per share was $0.83 (diluted and basic) and $0.80 (diluted and basic), respectively. FFO applicable to common shareholders was $100.0 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $99.5 million for the three-month period ended September 30, 2007.

Net income applicable to common shareholders was $90.2 million, or $0.75 per share (diluted and basic), for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $192.9 million, or $1.59 per share (diluted) and $1.60 per share (basic), for the prior-year comparable period. The decrease in net income for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, is primarily related to a reduction in the amount of transactional income earned during the same period in 2007 (gains on disposition of real estate of approximately $72.5 million and promoted income from joint venture interests of approximately $14.3 million) and the transfer of 62 assets to unconsolidated joint venture interests in 2007 and the sale of 67 assets to third parties in 2007.

For the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, FFO per share was $2.48 (diluted and basic) and $2.97 (diluted) and $2.98 (basic), respectively. FFO applicable to common shareholders was $298.7 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, as compared to $365.0 million for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007. The decrease in FFO for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2008, is primarily a result of the same factors impacting net income as described above.

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 ("GAAP"), 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 share dividends, (ii) gains from disposition of depreciable real estate property, except for those sold through the Company's merchant building program, which are presented net of taxes, (iii) extraordinary items and (iv) 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 third quarter ended September 30, 2008 highlight continued strong leasing activity throughout the portfolio:

--  Executed 176 new leases aggregating 1.0 million square feet and 289
    renewals aggregating 1.8 million square feet.

--  On a cash basis, rental rates on new leases increased 16.4% and rental
    rates on renewals increased 6.9%.  Overall, rental rates for new leases and
    renewals increased 8.9%.

--  Total portfolio average annualized base rent per occupied square foot,
    excluding Brazil, as of September 30, 2008 was $12.38, as compared to
    $12.28 at September 30, 2007.

--  Core portfolio leased rate was 94.5% as of September 30, 2008, as
    compared to 95.9% at September 30, 2007.
    

Total annual recurring leasing capital expenditures for the Company and its joint ventures are estimated to be approximately $32 million ($0.27 per square foot of owned GLA) in 2009 calculated based on 100% of the funding.

Dispositions:

In the third quarter of 2008, the Company sold six shopping center assets and one business center, aggregating approximately 0.6 million square feet, for aggregate sales proceeds of $69.8 million and recorded an aggregate loss of approximately $2.4 million. The Company recorded a loss on sale of $5.8 million relating to the sale of one of its business centers in Massachusetts. This loss was recorded as a charge to FFO for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008.

(A) Base and percentage rental revenues for the nine-month period ended
    September 30, 2008, as compared to the prior-year period, decreased
    $2.8 million, primarily due to the disposition of properties in 2007
    and 2008 to joint venture interests of $28.9 million. Increases in base
    and percentage rental revenues of core portfolio properties increased
    $4.1 million (an increase of 1.0% over the comparable period in 2007),
    $18.3 million from the acquisition of assets and the merger with
    IRRETI, $3.3 million related to developments and redevelopments and
    $0.4 million from an increase in occupancy at the Company's business
    centers.  Included in the rental revenues for the nine-month periods
    ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, is approximately $7.2 million and
    $9.4 million, respectively, of revenue resulting from the recognition
    of straight-line rents.

(B) Other income for the three- and nine-month periods ended September 30,
    2008 and 2007 was comprised of the following (in millions):

(C) General and administrative expenses include internal leasing salaries,
    legal salaries and related expenses associated with the releasing of
    space, which are charged to operations as incurred.  For the nine-month
    periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, general and administrative
    expenses were approximately 4.3% and 4.6%, respectively, of total
    revenues, including joint venture revenues.  For the nine-month period
    ended September 30, 2007, the Company recorded a charge of
    approximately $4.1 million to general and administrative expense in
    connection with the Company's former president's resignation as an
    executive officer.  Excluding this charge, general and administrative
    expenses were 4.3% of total revenues for the nine-month period ended
    September 30, 2007.

(D) Other expense primarily relates to abandoned acquisition and
    development project costs and litigation costs.  The increase in other
    expense for the third quarter of 2008 is due in part to an accrual for
    the potential liability associated with a legal verdict as well as the
    related litigation expenses.

    (a) Revenues for the three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and
        2007 included approximately $1.5 million and $2.3 million,
        respectively, resulting from the recognition of straight-line rents
        of which the Company\'s proportionate share was $0.2 million and
        $0.3 million, respectively.  Revenues for the nine-month periods
        ended September 30, 2008 and 2007 included approximately $5.7
        million and $6.6 million, respectively, resulting from the
        recognition of straight-line rents of which the Company's
        proportionate share was $0.7 million and $1.0 million,
        respectively.

    (b) Amount reflects equity in net income associated with a 50% owned
        joint venture that owns 37 Mervyn's stores.  In addition, the
        effects of certain derivative instruments that are marked to market
        through earnings from the Company's equity investment in MDT
        aggregating approximately $37.7 million of loss and $16.5 million
        of gain are reflected in the three- and nine-month periods ended
        September 30, 2008, respectively, of which the Company's share was
        approximately $3.5 million of loss and $1.0 million of gain,
        respectively.

    (c) The Company's share of joint venture net income was decreased by
        $0.6 million and $0.2 million for the three-month periods ended
        September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively.  The Company's share of
        joint venture net income was decreased by $0.9 million and $0.6
        million for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and
        2007, respectively.  These adjustments reflect basis differences
        impacting amortization and depreciation and gain on dispositions.
        During the nine-month period ended September 30, 2007, the Company
        received $13.6 million of promoted income relating 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 September 30, 2008 and 2007, the Company owned joint venture
        interests, excluding consolidated joint ventures, in 329 and 317
        shopping center properties, respectively.

    The preferred operating partnership units were redeemed in June 2007.
    In June 2008, 0.5 million operating partnership units were converted
    into an equivalent number of common shares of the Company.

(G) During the third quarter of 2008 and the first quarter of 2007, the
    Company released to income approximately $16.0 million and $15.0
    million, respectively, 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 of this reserve in 2008 was
    primarily due to the Company's increased use of its taxable REIT
    subsidiaries relating to the recognition of fees, primarily from joint
    ventures, and other miscellaneous non real estate related income.

(I) For purposes of computing FFO per share (basic), the weighted average
    shares outstanding were adjusted to reflect the assumed conversion of
    approximately 0.4 million and 0.9 million Operating Partnership Units
    ("OP Units") outstanding at September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
    into 0.4 million and 0.9 million common shares of the Company for the
    three-month periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively,
    and 0.6 million and 0.9 million common shares for the nine-month
    periods ended September 30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, on a weighted
    average basis.  The weighted average diluted shares and OP Units
    outstanding, for purposes of computing FFO, were approximately 120.8
    million and 125.1 million for the three-month periods ended September
    30, 2008 and 2007, respectively, and 120.6 million and 122.8 million

 (A)   Amounts include the consolidation of a 50% owned joint venture, DDR
       MDT MV LLC ("MV LLC"), that owns 37 sites occupied by Mervyns, which
       includes $380.4 and $405.8 million of real estate assets at
       September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007, respectively,
       $258.5 million of mortgage debt at September 30, 2008 and
       December 31, 2007, and $87.0 million and $74.6 million of minority
       equity interest at September 30, 2008 and December 31, 2007,
       respectively. The decrease in real estate assets at MV LLC is
       primarily due to the application of $25.0 million in cash proceeds
       received under a purchase price rebate letter of credit from the
       seller of the Mervyns portfolio due to the retailer's bankruptcy
       filing during the third quarter.

 (B)   Restricted cash includes $58.0 million at MV LLC and $48.4 million
       relating to the terms of a bond issue for one of the Company's
       projects in Mississippi. The MV LLC restricted cash is comprised of
       $25.0 million received from the seller of the Mervyns portfolio
       relating to Mervyns bankruptcy filing in the third quarter and a
       $33.0 million capital contribution by the members of MV LLC, both
       of which are required to be held in escrow by the lender.
