NEW YORK, July 31 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- iStar Financial Inc. (NYSE: SFI), a leading publicly traded finance company focused on the commercial real estate industry, today reported results for the second quarter ended June 30, 2009. iStar reported adjusted earnings (loss) allocable to common shareholders for the second quarter of ($250.1) million or ($2.51) per diluted common share, compared with ($196.2) million or ($1.46) per diluted common share for the second quarter 2008. Adjusted earnings (loss) represents net income (loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, adjusted primarily for preferred dividends, depreciation, depletion, amortization, impairments of goodwill and intangible assets, gain (loss) from discontinued operations, and gain on sale of joint venture interest. Net income (loss) allocable to common shareholders for the second quarter was ($284.2) million, or ($2.85) per diluted common share, compared to $18.5 million or $0.14 per diluted common share for the second quarter 2008. Please see the financial tables that follow the text of this press release for a detailed reconciliation of adjusted earnings to GAAP net income (loss). Revenues for the second quarter 2009 were $224.6 million versus $320.4 million for the second quarter 2008. The year-over-year decrease is primarily due to a reduction of interest income resulting from an increase in non-performing loans (NPLs), lower interest rates and an overall lower asset base. Net investment income for the quarter was $289.0 million compared to $149.7 million for the second quarter 2008. The year-over-year increase is primarily due to gains associated with the bond exchange and early extinguishment of debt, offset by lower interest income resulting from an increase in the Company's NPLs. Net investment income represents interest income, operating lease income, earnings (loss) from equity method investments and gain on early extinguishment of debt, less interest expense and operating costs for corporate tenant lease assets. During the quarter, the Company recorded a $42.4 million charge associated with the termination of a long-term lease with its landlord for headquarters space. During the quarter, the Company received $414.9 million in gross principal repayments. Additionally, the Company generated proceeds of $141.5 million from loan sales; $4.1 million of net proceeds from the sale of one corporate tenant lease (CTL) asset; and $72.2 million of net proceeds from other real estate owned (OREO) asset sales. Of the gross principal repayments and asset sales, $148.8 million was utilized to pay down the A-participation interest associated with the Fremont portfolio. Additionally during the quarter, the Company funded a total of $377.7 million under pre-existing commitments. The Company's leverage, calculated as book debt net of unrestricted cash and cash equivalents, divided by the sum of book equity, accumulated depreciation and loan loss reserves, each as determined in accordance with GAAP, was 2.8x at June 30, 2009, versus 2.9x at March 31, 2009. The Company's net finance margin, calculated as the rate of return on assets less the cost of debt, was 1.48% for the quarter, versus 2.37% in the prior quarter. Capital Markets As of June 30, 2009, the Company had $417.4 million of unrestricted cash and available capacity on its credit facilities versus $1.0 billion at the end of the prior quarter. The Company is currently in compliance with all of its bank and bond covenants. As previously announced, during the quarter the Company issued $155.3 million of its new 8.0% secured notes due 2011 and $479.5 million of its new 10.0% secured notes due 2014 in exchange for $1.0 billion of its unsecured senior notes. The new notes are secured by a second priority lien on the same pool of assets that serve as collateral for its current secured bank lines. In connection with this transaction, the Company recognized a gain of $108.0 million during the second quarter and $262.7 million will be amortized against interest expense over the life of the new notes. In addition, the Company repurchased $371.9 million par value of its senior unsecured notes, including $155.6 million of its senior unsecured notes due September 2009, resulting in a net gain on early extinguishment of debt of $92.9 million. The Company also repurchased approximately 2.8 million shares of its common stock during the quarter. The Company currently has remaining authority to repurchase up to $34.5 million of shares under its share repurchase programs. Risk Management At June 30, 2009, first mortgages, participations in first mortgages, senior loans and corporate tenant lease investments collectively comprised 91.0% of the Company's asset base, versus 91.7% in the prior quarter. The Company's loan portfolio consisted of 78.9% floating rate loans and 21.1% fixed rate loans, with a weighted average maturity of 2.1 years. At the end of the quarter, the weighted average last dollar loan-to-value ratio for all structured finance assets was 82.1%. The Company's corporate tenant lease assets were 94.0% leased with a weighted average remaining lease term of 11.4 years. At June 30, 2009, the weighted average risk ratings of the Company's structured finance and corporate tenant lease assets were 3.90 and 2.59, respectively, versus 3.71 and 2.59, respectively, in the prior quarter. As of June 30, 2009, 90 of the Company's 299 total loans were on NPL status. These loans represent $4.6 billion or 39.6% of total managed loans, compared to 76 loans representing $3.9 billion or 32.6% of total managed loans in the prior quarter. Managed asset and loan values represent iStar's book value plus the A-participation interest associated with the Fremont portfolio. The Company's total managed loan value at quarter end was $11.6 billion. At the end of the second quarter, the Company had 28 loans on its watch list representing $1.2 billion or 10.4% of total managed loans, compared to 30 loans representing $1.3 billion or 10.7% of total managed loans in the prior quarter. Assets on the Company's watch list are all performing loans. At the end of the second quarter, the Company had 16 assets classified as OREO with a book value of $382.6 million. During the quarter, the Company took title to six properties that served as collateral on its loans with managed loan values totaling $258.2 million, resulting in $48.7 million of charge-offs against the Company's reserve for loan losses. In addition, the Company recorded $22.2 million of non-cash impairment charges on its OREO portfolio. During the quarter, the Company charged off $53.9 million against its reserve for losses associated with loan sales and repayments during the quarter.

During the second quarter, the Company recorded $435.0 million in loan loss provisions, comprised of $412.5 million of asset specific provisions and $22.5 million of general provisions. Provisions in the quarter reflect the continued deterioration in the overall credit markets and its impact on the portfolio as determined in the Company's regular quarterly risk ratings review process. At June 30, 2009, the Company had loan loss reserves of $1.5 billion or 12.6% of total managed loans. This compares to loan loss reserves of $1.1 billion or 9.4% of total managed loans at March 31, 2009. Summary of Fremont Contributions to Quarterly Results At the end of the second quarter, the Fremont portfolio, including additional fundings made during the quarter, had a managed loan value of $3.6 billion consisting of 122 loans versus $3.7 billion consisting of 128 loans at the end of the prior quarter.

(2) This measure, which is a trailing twelve-month calculation and excludes the effect of impairment charges and other non-cash items, is consistent with covenant calculations included in the Company's secured credit facilities; therefore, we believe it is a useful measure for investors to consider. (3) EBITDA should be examined in conjunction with net income (loss) as shown in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. EBITDA should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indicator of the Company's performance, or to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of the Company's liquidity, nor is this measure indicative of funds available to fund the Company's cash needs or available for distribution to shareholders. It should be noted that the Company's manner of calculating EBITDA may differ from the calculations of similarly-titled measures by other companies. iStar Financial Inc.
