KANSAS CITY, Mo.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- Entertainment Properties Trust (NYSE:EPR) today announced operating results for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011.

Portfolio Update

As of June 30, 2011, the Company's real estate portfolio consisted of 112 megaplex theatres (including two joint venture properties) totaling approximately 8.9 million square feet, and restaurant, retail and other destination recreation and specialty properties totaling 4.3 million square feet. The Company also owned 33 public charter schools (including six public charter school properties under construction), six vineyards totaling approximately 760 plantable acres and nine wineries totaling approximately 750 thousand square feet. At June 30, 2011, the Company's megaplex theatres were 99% occupied, public charter schools were 100% occupied, and its overall real estate portfolio was 97% occupied.

In addition, as of June 30, 2011, the Company's real estate mortgage loan portfolio had a carrying value of $311.4 million and included financing provided for entertainment, retail and recreational properties, including ten metropolitan ski areas covering approximately 6,100 acres in six states.

Investment Update

The Company's investment spending in the second quarter totaled $20.1 million bringing the total for the six months ended June 30, 2011 to approximately $70.5 million. The Company's investment activity in the second quarter included the purchase of five public charter school properties for development located in Colorado and Arizona totaling $10.2 million. The Company currently has six public charter school properties in development, all of which are subject to long-term triple net leases which will commence upon completion, and has a commitment to fund an additional $26.7 million at June 30, 2011 for additional improvements at these properties.

Vineyards and Wineries

The Company continues to make progress on the sale of its investments in vineyards and wineries. As previously announced, in the second quarter, the Company completed the sale of the winery assets related to the Gary Farrell brand for $6.5 million. The Company also expects to enter into an agreement in the third quarter to sell its vineyard and winery in Paso Robles, California for approximately $13.0 million.

Additionally, during the second quarter, the Company engaged outside brokers to list all of its remaining winery and vineyard properties for sale or lease with the primary focus on selling all of these assets within the next two years. It was determined that the carrying value of the Company's vineyard and winery properties exceeded the estimated fair values by $34.3 million, and an impairment charge was recorded in the second quarter for this amount.

Redemption of Series B Preferred Shares

On July 28, 2011, the Company announced that it will give notice that it will redeem its callable 7.75% Series B preferred shares on August 31, 2011 for a total of $80 million plus prorated dividends. In conjunction with this redemption, we expect to recognize a charge in the third quarter 2011 for approximately $2.9 million, or $0.06 per share, consisting primarily of original issuance costs from 2005.

Balance Sheet Update

The Company's balance sheet remains strong with a debt to gross assets ratio (defined as total long-term debt to total assets plus accumulated depreciation) of 34% at June 30, 2011 and no debt maturities through September 2012. Combined unrestricted cash and credit line capacity at June 30, 2011 was approximately $308 million.

Dividend Information

On June 2, 2011, the Company declared a regular quarterly cash dividend of $0.70 per common share, which was paid on July 15, 2011 to common shareholders of record on June 30, 2011. This dividend represents an annualized dividend of $2.80 per common share, an increase of 8% over the prior year. The Company also declared and paid second quarter cash dividends of $0.4844 per share on the 7.75% Series B Preferred Shares, $0.3594 per share on the 5.75% Series C Convertible Preferred Shares, $0.4609 per share on the 7.375% Series D Preferred Shares and $0.5625 per share on the 9.00% Series E Convertible Preferred Shares.

Guidance Update

The Company is revising its 2011 investment spending guidance to a range of $200 million to $400 million and it is now expected that this spending will be more heavily weighted toward the second half of 2011 than originally planned, with much of the spending expected to occur in the fourth quarter.

As a result of the shift in expected timing of investments, the Company is revising its 2011 guidance for FFO as adjusted per diluted share to $3.35 to $3.42 from the previous guidance of $3.40 to $3.50. Including charges of $0.99 per diluted share for costs associated with loan refinancing, transaction costs, impairment charges and the expected charge related to the Series B preferred redemption, the guidance for FFO per diluted share is $2.36 to $2.43.

Quarterly Supplemental

The Company's supplemental information package for the second quarter and six months ended June 30, 2011 is available on the Company's website at www.eprkc.com.

     The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT)
     developed FFO as a relative non-GAAP financial measure of performance of an
     equity REIT in order to recognize that income-producing real estate
     historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under Generally
     Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) and management provides FFO herein
     because it believes this information is useful to investors in this regard.
     FFO is a widely used measure of the operating performance of real estate
     companies and management believes it is useful to provide it here as a
     supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to common shareholders
     and earnings per share. FFO, as defined under the NAREIT definition and
     presented by us, is net income available to common shareholders, computed
     in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains and losses from sales of
     depreciable operating properties, plus real estate related depreciation and
     amortization, and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships, joint
     ventures and other affiliates. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships,
     joint ventures and other affiliates are calculated to reflect FFO on the
(A)  same basis. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO does not represent
     cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not indicative that
     cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not to be considered
     an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as a measurement of
     the results of the Company's operations, cash flows or liquidity as defined
     by GAAP. It should also be noted that not all REITs calculate FFO the same
     way so comparisons with other REITs may not be meaningful. In addition to
     FFO, we present FFO as adjusted. Management believes it is useful to
     provide it here as a supplemental measure to GAAP net income available to
     common shareholders and earnings per share. FFO as adjusted is FFO plus
     charges for loan losses, costs associated with loan refinancing,
     impairments and transaction costs, less gain on acquisitions. FFO as
     adjusted is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO as adjusted does not
     represent cash flows from operations as defined by GAAP and is not
     indicative that cash flows are adequate to fund all cash needs and is not
     to be considered an alternative to net income or any other GAAP measure as
     a measurement of the results of the Company's operations, cash flows or
     liquidity as defined by GAAP.



The dilutive effect of potential common shares from the exercise of share options is included in diluted earnings per share except in those periods with a loss from continuing operations.

The additional 1.9 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company's 5.75% Series C cumulative convertible preferred shares and the additional 1.6 million common shares that would result from the conversion of the Company's 9.00% Series E cumulative convertible preferred shares and the corresponding add-back of the preferred dividends declared on those shares are not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share and FFO per share for the three and six months ended June 30, 2011 and 2010 because the effect is anti-dilutive.
