Simon Property Group Announces Second Quarter Results and Quarterly Dividends

INDIANAPOLIS, July 30 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Simon Property Group, Inc. (the "Company" or "Simon") (NYSE: SPG) today announced results for the quarter ended June 30, 2007:

     - Funds from operations ("FFO") of the Simon portfolio for the quarter
       increased 4.1% to $373.0 million from $358.4 million in the second
       quarter of 2006. On a diluted per share basis the increase was 4.0% to
       $1.31 from $1.26 in 2006. FFO of the Simon portfolio for the six months
       increased 6.7% to $765.4 million from $717.3 million in 2006. On a
       diluted per share basis the increase was 6.3% to $2.68 per share from
       $2.52 per share in 2006.
     - Net income available to common stockholders for the quarter decreased
       27.7% to $59.9 million from $82.9 million in the second quarter of
       2006. On a diluted per share basis the decrease was 27.0% to $0.27 from
       $0.37 in 2006. Net income available to common stockholders for the six
       months decreased 15.3% to $158.3 million from $186.9 million in 2006.
       On a diluted per share basis the decrease was 15.5% to $0.71 per share
       from $0.84 per share in 2006. The decrease in net income for the
       quarter and six months is primarily attributable to higher gains
       recognized in 2006 on the sale of interests in unconsolidated entities
       than in 2007 and lower income from unconsolidated entities in 2007.
       Income from unconsolidated entities was lower in the second quarter of
       2007 than the year earlier period primarily as a result of increased
       depreciation expense attributable to the acquisition of the Mills
       portfolio of assets.

     - On July 26th, the Company announced that the Porta di Roma shopping
       center in Rome, Italy opened to the public. The center is located on

       fully or partially owned by GCI.  Two of the shopping centers are

       (Naples). Another project, located in Argine (Naples), is scheduled to
       open in late 2008. After the opening of these three projects, GCI will

    Notes:
     (A) Consolidation occurs when the Company acquires an additional
         ownership interest in a joint venture and, as a result, gains control
         of the joint venture.  These interests have been separated from
         operational interests to present comparative results of operations
         for those joint ventures held as of June 30, 2007.  Discontinued
         joint venture interests represent assets and partnership interests
         that have been sold.

     (B) Relates to the sale of Great Northeast Plaza, a community center, on
         April 25, 2006, and Metrocenter, a regional mall, in January 2005.

     (C) As a result of the consolidation of Mall of Georgia during the fourth
         quarter of 2006 and Town Center at Cobb and Gwinnett Mall as of March
         31, 2007, we reclassified our share of the pre-consolidation earnings
         from these properties.

     (D) Excess investment represents the unamortized difference of the
         Company's investment over equity in the underlying net assets of the
         partnerships and joint ventures.  The Company generally amortizes
         excess investment over the life of the related properties, typically
         no greater than 40 years, and the amortization is included in income
         from unconsolidated entities.

               Footnotes to Reconciliation of Net Income to FFO
                                  Unaudited

    Notes:

    (1)  The Company considers FFO a key measure of its operating performance
         that is not specifically defined by GAAP and believes that FFO is
         helpful to investors because it is a widely recognized measure of the
         performance of REITs and provides a relevant basis for comparison
         among REITs. The Company also uses this measure internally to measure
         the operating performance of the portfolio.  The Company's
         computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other
         REITs.

         As defined by NAREIT, FFO is consolidated net income computed in
         accordance with GAAP, excluding real estate related depreciation and
         amortization, excluding gains and losses from extraordinary items,
         excluding gains and losses from the sales of real estate, plus the
         allocable portion of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures based upon
         economic ownership interest, and all determined on a consistent basis
         in accordance with GAAP. The Company has adopted NAREIT's
         clarification of the definition of FFO that requires it to include
         the effects of nonrecurring items not classified as extraordinary,
         cumulative effect of accounting change or resulting from the sale of
         depreciable real estate. However, you should understand that FFO does
         not represent cash flow from operations as defined by GAAP, should
         not be considered as an alternative to net income determined in
         accordance with GAAP as a measure of operating performance, and is
         not an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity.

    (2)  Includes the Company's share of gains on land sales of $3.7 million
         and $19.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
         respectively, and $11.3 million and $26.3 million for the six months
         ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    (3)  Includes the Company's share of straight-line adjustments to minimum
         rent of $5.6 million and $1.5 million for the three months ended June
         30, 2007 and 2006, respectively and $10.7 million and $5.3 million
         for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively.

    (4)  Includes the Company's share of the fair market value of leases from
         acquisitions of $12.3 million and $17.8 million for the three months
         ended June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $26.2 million and
         $35.2 million for the six months ended June 20, 2007 and 2006,
         respectively.

    (5)  Includes the Company's share of debt premium amortization of
         $15.0 million and $6.7 million for the three months ended
         June 30, 2007 and 2006, respectively, and $22.0 million and
         $13.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2007 and 2006,
         respectively.

    (6)  Includes dividends and distributions of Series I preferred stock and
         Series C and Series I preferred units.
