Financial Results for the Quarter

For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, Funds From Operations (FFO) attributable to common stockholders was $19.1 million, compared to $18.5 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. On a per share basis, FFO was $0.21 (basic and diluted) in each period.

For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, FFO adjusted for impairment of non-depreciable real estate and other non-cash adjustments, net of taxes was $19.2 million, compared to $18.7 million in the prior year quarter. On a per share basis, FFO adjusted for those items was $0.22 (basic and diluted) for the quarter, compared to $0.21 for the fourth quarter of 2010.

The increases in FFO and FFO adjusted were primarily due to higher consolidated same store net operating income (NOI) and lower interest expense, partially offset by decreased gains on the sale of joint venture interests through our IPCC joint venture, compared to the prior year quarter.

Net income attributable to common stockholders for the fourth quarter of 2011 was $0.9 million, compared to $4.0 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. On a per share basis, net income attributable to common stockholders was $0.01 (basic and diluted), compared to $0.05 for the prior year quarter. Net income for the quarter decreased primarily due to the recording of aggregate non-cash impairment charges of $2.8 million related to two consolidated single-tenant properties under contract to sell at prices below their current carrying value and by the aforementioned lower gains on the sale of joint venture interests. Net income attributable to common stockholders also was impacted by dividends declared during the quarter on the outstanding shares of the 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock) that were issued by the Company in October of 2011.

Financial Results for the Twelve Months Ended December 31, 2011

For the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, FFO attributable to common stockholders was $59.6 million, compared to $53.1 million for the same period in 2010. On a per share basis, FFO for the full year 2011 was $0.67 (basic and diluted), compared to FFO of $0.62 for the prior year.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, the Company recorded aggregate non-cash impairment charges of non-depreciable real estate and other non-cash adjustments, net of taxes, of $12.6 million related to the North Aurora Towne Center development joint venture project to reflect the property at its reduced fair value. By comparison, the Company recorded aggregate non-cash impairment charges of non-depreciable real estate, net of taxes, related to unconsolidated development joint venture projects and a gain on the extinguishment of debt, netting to $19.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2010.

FFO, adjusted for impairment of non-depreciable real estate and other non-cash adjustments, net of taxes, was $72.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2011, compared to $72.4 million for the full year 2010. On a per share basis, FFO adjusted for those items was $0.82 (basic and diluted) for 2011, compared to $0.84 for the prior year.

Net loss attributable to common stockholders for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, was $8.1 million, compared to net income of $1.2 million for the same period in 2010. On a per share basis, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $0.09 (basic and diluted), compared to net income of $0.01 for the prior year. Net income decreased due to higher depreciation and amortization expense, higher interest expense, lower gains from the sale of interests in properties acquired through the joint venture with Inland Private Capital Corporation (IPCC), decreased gains on the sale of investment securities, and the impact in the prior year period of combined gains on the change in control of Algonquin Commons and extinguishment of debt totaling $6.5 million. Net income attributable to common stockholders also was impacted by dividends declared on the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock issued by the Company in the fourth quarter of 2011. The decrease in net income was partially offset by lower non-cash impairment charges compared to the prior year period.

The Company adjusts FFO for the impact of non-cash impairment of non-depreciable real estate and other non-cash adjustments, net of taxes recorded in comparable periods, in order to present the performance of its core portfolio operations. Reconciliations of FFO and FFO, adjusted, to net loss attributable to common stockholders, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, as well as FFO per share and FFO, adjusted per share to net loss attributable to common stockholders per share, are provided at the end of this press release.

Commented Mark Zalatoris, Inland Real Estate Corporation's president and chief executive officer, "The momentum in portfolio operations is reflected in gains in NOI for the consolidated same store portfolio and average base rents for both the quarter and full year. Lease execution also was robust, with approximately 1.9 million square feet of retail space leased across the total portfolio in 2011. As well, we believe the deliberate improvements we have made to our tenant mix have increased the value of our real estate assets.

"Today, we are also better capitalized with enhanced liquidity and flexibility. In addition to a well-priced Preferred Stock offering, in 2011 we took advantage of market opportunities to secure improved terms for our credit facilities as well as lock in new financing with attractive rates to address secured debt maturities, finance acquisitions, and repurchase our 4.625% convertible senior notes.”

Zalatoris added, "As the markets recover, our stronger operating platform should provide continued momentum for growth. Our joint ventures are therefore a primary focus. Toward that end, in 2011 we doubled the amount of acquisitions for our IPCC joint venture over the prior year and added assets in the Chicago, Minneapolis, Milwaukee and Cincinnati markets to our venture with PGGM.”

Portfolio Performance

The Company evaluates its overall portfolio by analyzing the operating performance of properties that have been owned and operated for the same three and twelve-month periods during each year. A total of 104 of the Company’s investment properties within the consolidated portfolio satisfied this criterion during these periods and are referred to as "same store” properties. Same store net operating income (NOI) is a supplemental non-GAAP measure used to monitor the performance of the Company’s investment properties.

A reconciliation of consolidated same store NOI to net loss attributable to common stockholders, calculated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, is provided at the end of this news release.

Consolidated portfolio same store NOI was $24.2 million for the quarter and $90.8 million for the twelve months ended December 31, 2011, representing increases of 8.7 percent and 4.2 percent, respectively, over the prior year periods. The increases were primarily due to decreased property operating expense, including lower real estate tax bills.

As of December 31, 2011, same store financial occupancy for the consolidated portfolio was 89.1 percent, representing increases of 90 and 30 basis points, respectively, over same store financial occupancy at September 30, 2011, and December 31, 2010.

Leasing

For the quarter ended December 31, 2011, the Company executed 91 leases within the total portfolio aggregating 478,829 square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA”), an increase in square feet leased of 30.2 percent over the prior quarter. Leasing activity for this period included 56 renewal leases comprising 327,320 square feet of GLA with an average rental rate of $15.01 per square foot and representing an increase of 6.4 percent over the average expiring rent. Twelve new leases and 23 non-comparable leases aggregating 151,509 square feet of GLA were signed during the quarter. New leases executed during the quarter had an average rental rate of $12.52 per square foot, an increase of 17.5 percent over the expiring rent. The non-comparable leases were signed with an average rental rate of $13.58 per square foot. Non-comparable leases represent leases signed for expansion square footage or for space in which there was no former tenant in place for one year or more. On a blended basis, the 68 new and renewal leases signed during the quarter had an average rental rate of $14.59 per square foot, representing an increase of 7.9 percent over the average expiring rent. The calculations of former and new average base rents are adjusted for rent abatements on the included leases.

Leased occupancy for the total portfolio was 92.7 percent as of December 31, 2011, compared to 93.8 percent as of September 30, 2011, and 93.3 percent as of December 31, 2010. The decrease in total portfolio leased occupancy primarily was due to lease expirations on two big-box spaces that are currently being marketed for sale or lease, as well as the sales of 100-percent-occupied properties in the consolidated and unconsolidated portfolios during the quarter.

Financial occupancy for the total portfolio was 90.3 percent as of December 31, 2011, compared to 88.5 percent as of September 30, 2011, and 89.2 percent as of December 31, 2010. The increase in total portfolio financial occupancy was due to new tenants exiting abatement periods and beginning to pay rent during the quarter. Financial occupancy is defined as the percentage of total gross leasable area for which a tenant is obligated to pay rent under the terms of the lease agreement, regardless of the actual use or occupation by that tenant of the area being leased, and excludes tenants in abatement periods. All occupancy rates exclude seasonal leases.

As of December 31, 2011, the spread between leased and financial occupancy narrowed to 240 basis points from 410 basis points at the end of the fourth quarter of 2010. The decreased spread between leased and financial occupancy indicates that an increased number of new tenants are open for business and paying rent under leases signed earlier in 2011.

EBITDA, Balance Sheet, Liquidity and Market Value

Earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization (EBITDA), adjusted for non-cash impairments of non-depreciable real estate and other non-cash adjustments, was $32.3 million for the quarter, compared to $31.3 million for the fourth quarter of 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2011, EBITDA, adjusted for those items, was $124.6 million, compared to $119.9 million for the prior year period. Definitions and reconciliations of EBITDA and adjusted EBITDA to income (loss) from continuing operations are provided at the end of this news release.

EBITDA coverage of interest expense, adjusted, was 2.8 times for the quarter ended December 31, 2011, compared to 2.5 times for the prior quarter and 2.4 times for the fourth quarter of 2010. The Company has provided EBITDA and related non-GAAP coverage ratios because it believes EBITDA and the related ratios provide useful supplemental measures in evaluating the Company’s operating performance in that expenses that may not be indicative of operating performance are excluded.

During the quarter, the Company closed a new $50 million, seven-year unsecured term loan with a rate of 3.5 percent. The Company utilized the term loan proceeds, cash on hand and its line of credit facility to repurchase the remaining $81 million in principal of 4.625% convertible senior notes outstanding as of October 2011 plus accrued interest. The Company expects to realize interest expense savings of approximately $2 million during 2012, due to the term loan’s lower interest rate, currently 3.5 percent, versus the 5.875 percent rate used in accordance with accounting rules to record interest expense for the 4.625% convertible senior notes.

As of December 31, 2011, the Company had an equity market capitalization (common shares) of $677.2 million, Preferred Stock (at face value) of $50.0 million, and total debt outstanding of $921.0 million (including the pro-rata share of debt in unconsolidated joint ventures and full face value of convertible notes) for a total market capitalization of approximately $1.6 billion and a debt-to-total market capitalization of 55.9 percent. Including the convertible notes, 52.2 percent of consolidated debt bears interest at fixed rates.

As of December 31, 2011, the weighted average interest rate on the fixed rate debt was 5.49 percent and the overall weighted average interest rate, including variable rate debt, was 4.33 percent. The Company had $80 million outstanding on its $150 million unsecured line of credit facility at the end of the quarter.

Acquisitions

On November 1, 2011, and as previously announced, IRC acquired for $25.8 million the 174,782-square-foot Bradley Commons shopping center, a regional power center located approximately 50 miles south of Chicago.

Dispositions

During the quarter the Company sold three unanchored neighborhood retail centers: Rose Plaza East and Rose Plaza West in Naperville, Ill., for a total sales price of $5.05 million, and Orland Park Retail in Orland Park, Ill., for $975,000.

Joint Venture Activity

In the fourth quarter, the joint venture with IPCC completed sales of all remaining interests in the 100-percent-leased National Net Leased Portfolio, comprised of 16 single-tenant retail properties in nine states aggregating approximately 108,000 square feet of GLA plus two ground leases.

During the quarter, the IRC-PGGM joint venture acquired the following assets: the 137,821-square-foot, 94 percent leased Brownstones Shopping Center anchored by Roundy’s Metro Market and TJ Maxx in Brookfield, Wis., for $24.1 million; the 88,218-square-foot, 95 percent leased Elston Plaza anchored by SuperValu’s Jewel-Osco in Chicago, Ill., for $18.9 million; and the 105,471-square-foot, 95 percent leased Turfway Commons anchored by Babies R Us, Michaels and Guitar Center and shadow-anchored by Sam’s Club, in the Cincinnati, Ohio market for $13 million. In conjunction with the acquisitions and according to the terms of the joint venture agreement with PGGM, IRC contributed the Quarry Retail shopping center in Minneapolis, Minn.; the Caton Crossing shopping center in Plainfield, Ill.; and the Woodfield Plaza shopping center in Schaumburg, Ill., to the venture.

Total fee income from unconsolidated joint ventures was $1.8 million for the fourth quarter and $6.0 million for the full year 2011, representing increases of 54.6 percent and 68.4 percent, respectively, over the prior year periods. The increases primarily were due to higher acquisition fee income from the IRC-IPCC joint venture and more assets under management through the joint ventures with IPCC and PGGM.

Distributions

On November 15, 2011, the Company paid a cash dividend of $0.220052 per share on the outstanding shares of its 8.125% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock to Preferred Stockholders of record as of November 1, 2011. In December 2011 and January 2012, the Company paid a monthly cash dividend to Preferred Stockholders of $0.169271 per share on the outstanding shares of its Preferred Stock. In addition, the Company has declared a cash dividend of $0.169271 per share on the outstanding shares of its Preferred Stock, payable on February 15, 2012, to Preferred Stockholders of record as of February 1, 2012.

In November and December 2011 and January 2012, the Company paid monthly cash distributions to Common Stockholders of $0.0475 per common share. The Company also declared a cash distribution of $0.0475 per common share, payable on February 17, 2012, to common stockholders of record as of January 31, 2012.

Guidance

For fiscal year 2012, the Company expects FFO per common share (basic and diluted), to range from $0.84 to $0.89, consolidated same store net operating income to increase by 1 percent to 3 percent, and average total portfolio financial occupancy to range from 90 percent to 91 percent.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We consider FFO a widely accepted and appropriate measure of performance for a REIT. FFO provides a supplemental measure to compare our performance and operations to other REITs. Due to certain unique operating characteristics of real estate companies, NAREIT has promulgated a standard known as FFO, which it believes more accurately reflects the operating performance of a REIT such as ours. As defined by NAREIT, FFO means net income computed in accordance with U.S. GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of operating property, plus depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated entities in which the REIT holds an interest, which NAREIT further elaborated to exclude impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate or of investments in unconsolidated entities that are driven by measurable decreases in the fair value of depreciable real estate. We have adopted the NAREIT definition for computing FFO. Management uses the calculation of FFO for several reasons. We use FFO in conjunction with our acquisition policy to determine investment capitalization strategy and we also use FFO to compare our performance to that of other REITs in our peer group. Additionally, FFO is used in certain employment agreements to determine incentives payable by us to certain executives, based on our performance. The calculation of FFO may vary from entity to entity since capitalization and expense policies tend to vary from entity to entity. Items that are capitalized do not impact FFO whereas items that are expensed reduce FFO. Consequently, our presentation of FFO may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures presented by other REITs. FFO does not represent cash flows from operations as defined by U.S. GAAP, it is not indicative of cash available to fund all cash flow needs and liquidity, including our ability to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, as determined in accordance with U.S. GAAP, for purposes of evaluating our operating performance. The following table reflects our FFO and adjusted FFO for the periods presented, reconciled to net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders for these periods. The Company adjusts FFO for the impact of non-cash impairment charges on non-depreciable real estate and other non-cash adjustments, net of taxes and gains on extinguishment of debt recorded in comparable periods in order to present the performance of its core portfolio operations.

EBITDA is defined as earnings (losses) from operations excluding: (1) interest expense; (2) income tax benefit or expenses; (3) depreciation and amortization expense; and (4) gains (loss) on non-operating property. We believe EBITDA is useful to us and to an investor as a supplemental measure in evaluating our financial performance because it excludes expenses that we believe may not be indicative of our operating performance. By excluding interest expense, EBITDA measures our financial performance regardless of how we finance our operations and capital structure. By excluding depreciation and amortization expense, we believe we can more accurately assess the performance of our portfolio. Because EBITDA is calculated before recurring cash charges such as interest expense and taxes and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements, it does not reflect the amount of capital needed to maintain our properties nor does it reflect trends in interest costs due to changes in interest rates or increases in borrowing. EBITDA should be considered only as a supplement to net earnings and may be calculated differently by other equity REITs.

Same Store Net Operating Income Analysis

The following schedules present same store net operating income, for our consolidated portfolio, which is the net operating income of properties owned in both the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, along with other investment properties' net operating income. Same store net operating income is considered a non-GAAP financial measure because it does not include straight-line rental income, amortization of lease intangibles, interest, depreciation, amortization and bad debt expense. We provide same store net operating income as it allows investors to compare the results of property operations for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. We also provide a reconciliation of these amounts to the most comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders.
