HAMILTON, BERMUDA, April 30, 2015 – Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (NYSE: BPY; TSX: BPY.UN) today announced financial results for the quarter ended March 31, 2015.
FINANCIAL RESULTS
1. Company FFO for the three months ended March 31, 2015 excludes a $14 million gain on extinguishment of debt in the retail segment and for the same period in 2014 excludes a $19 million gain on extinguishment of debt, also in the retail segment.
2. See "Basis of Presentation" and "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Measures" below in this news release for the definition and components.
3. Unitholders refers to holders of general partner units, limited partner units, limited partner units of Brookfield Property L.P., and limited partner units of Brookfield Office Properties Exchange LP.
4. Company FFO per unit and net income attributable to unitholders per unit are calculated based on 712.7 million and 556.1 million units outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. See reconciliation of basic net income in the "Reconciliation of Non-IFRS Earnings Per Unit" section below in this news release.
Brookfield Property Partners L.P. (the “Partnership” or “BPY”) reported Company FFO of $181 million ($0.25 per unit) for the quarter ended March 31, 2015 compared with $157 million ($0.28 per unit) for the same period in 2014. The increase in Company FFO for the quarter was driven by the acquisition of additional interests in Brookfield Office Properties Inc. (“BPO”) and Canary Wharf Group plc (“Canary Wharf”) as well as positive same-store growth in our office and retail portfolios. The increase was partly offset by the impact of foreign exchange rates and interest expense on assets which are not yet fully contributing to income.
Net income attributable to unitholders for the quarter ended March 31, 2015, was $833 million ($1.17 per unit) versus $372 million ($0.67 per unit) for the same period in 2014. The increase in the quarter was primarily driven by valuation increases from strong leasing results and improved market conditions in our office business.
“We recently completed the acquisition of Canary Wharf in London and opened our new retail center at Brookfield Place New York. We also commenced development of our next office tower at Manhattan West in New York,” said Ric Clark, chief executive officer of Brookfield Property Group.
Office
• For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, our office operations generated Company FFO of $170 million compared to $97 million in the same period in 2014. The increase in Company FFO for the quarter was mainly due to the increased ownership in BPO and Canary Wharf, partly offset by the impact of foreign operations converted to U.S. dollars.
• During the quarter, our office operations contributed $770 million of valuation increases, primarily driven by strong market conditions and leasing activity in Manhattan and Sydney.
• Operationally, during the quarter, we leased 1.9 million square feet of space in our core office portfolio at average net rents significantly higher than expiring rents, while increasing global occupancy by 30 basis points over the previous quarter to 92.5%.
• Significant leases executed during the first quarter include:
Retail
• For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, our retail operations reported Company FFO of $114 million compared to $105 million in the comparable period in 2014. The increase in Company FFO for the quarter was due to an increase in same-store NOI of over 3% compared to the prior year and income from our investment in China Xintiandi which was acquired in the second quarter of 2014.
• Initial rent rates for executed leases commencing in 2015 and 2016 on a suite-to-suite basis increased by 11.1% to $60.91 per square foot when compared to the rental rate for expiring leases.
• Occupancy finished the quarter at 94.5%.
• Significant transactions in our retail segment included:
• For the quarter ended March 31, 2015, our industrial, multifamily and other operations posted Company FFO of $33 million compared with $17 million in the comparable period in 2014. The increase in Company FFO over the prior year was largely a result of the acquisitions of our triple net lease business in North America, a multifamily portfolio in New York City, and a hotel in Florida, all completed in the second half of 2014.
• In our industrial operations, we executed 1.8 million square feet of leasing during the quarter. Occupancy finished the quarter at 90.0%.
• Occupancy in our multifamily portfolio increased 30 basis points to 95.0%.
• ADR and REVPAR increased year-over-year in all of our hotel properties to a blended average of $253 and $199, respectively.
• Significant transactions in our industrial, multifamily and other operations during the first quarter included:
COMPANY FFO AND NET INCOME ATTRIBUTABLE TO UNITHOLDERS BY SEGMENT

Basis of Presentation
This press release and accompanying financial information make reference to net operating income (“NOI”), funds from operations (“FFO”), and Company funds from operations (“Company FFO”) on a total and per unit basis. NOI, FFO, and Company FFO (on a total and per unit basis) do not have any standardized meaning prescribed by International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRS”) and therefore may not be comparable to similar measures presented by other companies. NOI is defined as revenues from commercial and hospitality operations of consolidated properties less direct commercial property and hospitality expenses. FFO is defined as income, including equity accounted income, before realized gains (losses) from the sale of investment property, fair value gains (losses) (including equity accounted fair value gains (losses)), depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, income tax expense (benefit), and less non-controlling interests of others in operating subsidiaries and properties. Company FFO is defined as FFO before the impact of depreciation and amortization of non-real estate assets, transaction costs, gains (losses) associated with non-investment properties and the FFO that would have been attributable to unitholders’ shares of GGP, if all outstanding warrants of GGP were exercised on a cash-less basis. It also includes dilution adjustments to undiluted FFO as a result of the net settled warrants. The Partnership uses NOI, FFO and Company FFO to assess its operating results. NOI is important in assessing operating performance and FFO is a widely-used measure to analyze real estate. The Partnership provides the components of NOI and a full reconciliation from net income to FFO and Company FFO with the financial information accompanying this press release. The Partnership reconciles FFO to net income as opposed to cash flow from operating activities as it believes net income is the most comparable measure. We believe that our performance is best assessed by considering these two components in aggregate, and over the long term, because that is the basis on which we make investment decisions and operate the business. In fact, if we were solely focused on short-term financial results, it is quite likely that we would operate the business very differently and, in our opinion, in a manner that would produce lower long-term returns.
In calculating net income attributable to unitholders per unit, the Partnership excludes the impact of mandatorily convertible preferred shares in determining the average number of units outstanding as the holders of mandatorily convertible preferred shares do not participate in current earnings. The Partnership reconciles this measure to basic net income attributable to unitholders per unit determined in accordance with IFRS which includes the effect of mandatorily convertible preferred shares in the basic average number of units outstanding.
Forward-Looking Statements
This news release contains “forward-looking information” within the meaning of Canadian provincial securities laws and applicable regulations and “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of “safe harbor” provisions of the United States Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements include statements that are predictive in nature, depend upon or refer to future events or conditions, include statements regarding our operations, business, financial condition, expected financial results, performance, prospects, opportunities, priorities, targets, goals, ongoing objectives, strategies and outlook, as well as the outlook for North American and international economies for the current fiscal year and subsequent periods, and include words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “plans,” “believes,” “estimates,” “seeks,” “intends,” “targets,” “projects,” “forecasts,” “likely,”, or negative versions thereof and other similar expressions, or future or conditional verbs such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “would” and “could.”
Although we believe that our anticipated future results, performance or achievements expressed or implied by the forward-looking statements and information are based upon reasonable assumptions and expectations, the reader should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements and information because they involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, many of which are beyond our control, which may cause our actual results, performance or achievements to differ materially from anticipated future results, performance or achievement expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements and information.
Factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated or implied by forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: risks incidental to the ownership and operation of real estate properties including local real estate conditions; the impact or unanticipated impact of general economic, political and market factors in the countries in which we do business; the ability to enter into new leases or renew leases on favorable terms; business competition; dependence on tenants’ financial condition; the use of debt to finance our business; the behavior of financial markets, including fluctuations in interest and foreign exchanges rates; uncertainties of real estate development or redevelopment; global equity and capital markets and the availability of equity and debt financing and refinancing within these markets; risks relating to our insurance coverage; the possible impact of international conflicts and other developments including terrorist acts; potential environmental liabilities; changes in tax laws and other tax related risks; dependence on management personnel; illiquidity of investments; the ability to complete and effectively integrate acquisitions into existing operations and the ability to attain expected benefits therefrom; operational and reputational risks; catastrophic events, such as earthquakes and hurricanes; and other risks and factors detailed from time to time in our documents filed with the securities regulators in Canada and the United States.
We caution that the foregoing list of important factors that may affect future results is not exhaustive. When relying on our forward-looking statements or information, investors and others should carefully consider the foregoing factors and other uncertainties and potential events. Except as required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements or information, whether written or oral, that may be as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
Brookfield Property Partners is one of the world’s largest commercial real estate companies. Our goal is to be the leading global owner, operator and investor in best-in-class commercial property assets.
