After completing $247.0 million in new investments in 2012, we believe that investment volume this year will substantially increase. With just 3.0% of single-tenant revenue currently expiring this year and a strong pipeline of accretive investment opportunities, we expect to generate strong growth in our cash flow and funds from operations per share."

FINANCIAL RESULTS

Revenues

For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, total gross revenues were $95.5 million, compared with total gross revenues of $79.6 million for the quarter ended December 31, 2011. The increase is primarily due to property acquisitions and an increase in occupancy.

Company FFO, As Adjusted

For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, the Company generated Company FFO, as adjusted, of $48.2 million, or $0.25 per diluted share, compared to Company FFO, as adjusted, for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 of $45.6 million, or $0.25 per diluted share. For the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company generated Company FFO, as adjusted, of $180.6 million, or $0.98 per diluted share, compared to Company FFO, as adjusted, for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $170.0 million, or $0.97 per diluted share. The calculation of Company FFO, as adjusted, and a reconciliation to net income (loss) is included later in this press release.

Net Income (Loss) Attributable to Common Shareholders

For the quarter ended December 31, 2012, net loss attributable to common shareholders was $(7.0) million, or a loss of $(0.04) per diluted share, compared with net income attributable to common shareholders for the quarter ended December 31, 2011 of $7.5 million, or income of $0.05 per diluted share.

Capital Activities and Balance Sheet Update

Lexington financed its office property in Palo Alto, California with a $59.5 million non-recourse mortgage loan which bears interest at a fixed rate of 3.97%. The fully-amortizing loan matures at the end of the tenant lease in December 2023.

In addition, Lexington exercised an accordion feature within its seven-year term loan agreement increasing the term loan to $255.0 million, all of which is currently outstanding. Lexington swapped the LIBOR rate on such borrowings for a weighted-average fixed rate of 3.67% as of the date of this press release.

Lexington issued 17.25 million common shares in a public offering, raising net proceeds of approximately $156.3 million. The net proceeds were primarily used to satisfy $150.5 million of outstanding debt on Lexington's credit facilities. In addition, Lexington satisfied $30.1 million in non-recourse mortgage debt which had a weighted-average interest rate of 5.6%.

Lexington issued 4.5 million common shares upon conversion of an aggregate of $31.1 million original principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes due 2030 and made an aggregate cash payment of $2.4 million plus accrued and unpaid interest on the notes. In January 2013, Lexington converted an additional $35.0 million original principal amount of 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes due 2030 for 5.0 million common shares and a cash payment of approximately $2.3 million plus accrued and unpaid interest.

In total, Lexington's consolidated debt declined by $118.6 million in the fourth quarter of 2012.

In February 2013, Lexington refinanced its secured credit facility with an unsecured credit facility consisting of a four-year $300.0 million unsecured revolving loan and a five-year $250.0 million unsecured term loan. Lexington expects to use a portion of the credit facility to retire $137.9 million of mortgage debt in March 2013. Lexington also amended its term loan due in 2019 to release the collateral as security for such loan. As a result, all of Lexington's corporate borrowings are now unsecured.

Subsequent to December 31, 2012, Lexington obtained a $40.0 million non-recourse mortgage secured by its property in Lenexa, Kansas. The loan bears interest at a blended fixed rate of 3.70% and matures in November 2027.

1 Lexington believes that Funds from Operations ("FFO"), which is not a measure under generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), is a widely recognized and appropriate measure of the performance of an equity REIT. Lexington believes FFO is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of REITs, many of which present FFO when reporting their results. FFO is intended to exclude GAAP historical cost depreciation and amortization of real estate and related assets, which assumes that the value of real estate diminishes ratably over time. Historically, however, real estate values have risen or fallen with market conditions. As a result, FFO provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, reflects the impact to operations from trends in occupancy rates, rental rates, operating costs, development activities, interest costs and other matters without the inclusion of depreciation and amortization, providing perspective that may not necessarily be apparent from net income.
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, Inc. ("NAREIT") defines FFO as "net income (or loss) computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property, plus real estate depreciation and amortization and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures." NAREIT clarified its computation of FFO to exclude impairment charges on depreciable real estate owned directly or indirectly. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs. 
Lexington presents "Reported Company funds from operations" or "Reported Company FFO," which differs from FFO because it includes Lexington's operating partnership units, Lexington's 6.50% Series C Cumulative Convertible Preferred Shares, and Lexington's 6.00% Convertible Guaranteed Notes because these securities are convertible, at the holder's option, into Lexington's common shares. Management believes this is appropriate and relevant to securities analysts, investors and other interested parties because Lexington presents Reported Company FFO on a company-wide basis as if all securities that are convertible, at the holder's option, into Lexington's common shares, are converted. Lexington also presents "Company funds from operations, as adjusted" or "Company FFO, as adjusted," which adjusts Reported Company FFO for certain items which Management believes are non-recurring and not indicative of the operating results of its real estate portfolio. Management believes this is an appropriate presentation as it is frequently requested by security analysts, investors and other interested parties. Since others do not calculate funds from operations in a similar fashion, Reported Company FFO and Company FFO, as adjusted, may not be comparable to similarly titled measures as reported by others. Reported Company FFO and Company FFO, as adjusted, should not be considered as an alternative to net income as an indicator of our operating performance or as an alternative to cash flow as a measure of liquidity.
Reported Company Funds Available for Distribution ("FAD") is calculated by making adjustments to Company FFO, as adjusted, for (1) straight-line rent revenue, (2) lease incentive amortization, (3) amortization of above/below market leases, (4) cash paid for tenant improvements, (5) cash paid for lease costs, (6) non-cash general and administrative expenses, and (7) non-cash interest, net. Although FAD may not be comparable to that of other REITs, Lexington believes it provides a meaningful indication of its ability to fund cash needs. FAD is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be viewed as an alternative measurement of operating performance to net income, as an alternative to net cash flows from operating activities or as a measure of liquidity.
