Equity Office Properties Trust (NYSE: EOP) today reported results for the third quarter 2006. �We continue to reposition our portfolio to take advantage of the positive momentum in office markets,� commented Richard D. Kincaid, president and chief executive officer of Equity Office. �Rental rates have increased in virtually all of our strategic markets, with an overall increase in asking rents of 8.6% in the third quarter, as compared to a year ago. Occupancy in our portfolio has increased to over 91% driven by improving fundamentals throughout the country and strong leasing results.� Financial and Operating Results For the third quarter 2006, Equity Office reported a net loss of $139.4 million with a diluted loss per share of $0.40, compared to net income of $93.7 million in the third quarter 2005, or $0.23 per share on a diluted basis. The third quarter 2006 loss was caused by a previously announced non-cash impairment charge of $188.9 million taken in anticipation of future asset sales. The company expects to recognize gains in excess of $700 million, assuming all of the proposed dispositions close at targeted prices and provided current market conditions continue. Gains from property sales in third quarter 2006 were $58.5 million, substantially all of which is included in this $700 million estimate. Quarterly results also included severance costs of $21.8 million related to a previously announced company reorganization. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the company reported a net loss of $6.0 million with a diluted loss per share of $0.02, compared to a net loss of $10.8 million, or a net loss of $0.03 per share on a diluted basis in 2005. There were non-cash impairment and severance charges in both comparable year-to-date periods. The nine-month 2006 results included $177.1 million of gains on assets sold. Funds From Operations For the third quarter 2006, Funds From Operations (FFO) available to common shareholders resulted in a net loss of $3.4 million, or a loss of $0.01 per share on a diluted basis. FFO for the same period in 2005 totaled $227.7 million, or $0.50 per share on a diluted basis. Third quarter 2006 FFO included non-cash impairment and severance charges totaling $0.54 per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, FFO available to common shareholders totaled $448.7 million or $1.11 per share on a diluted basis. FFO for the same period in 2005 totaled $427.2 million, or $0.94 per share on a diluted basis. There were non-cash impairment and severance charges in both comparable nine-month periods. Also, the year-to-date 2005 results included one significant lease termination fee of $48.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. The attachment to this press release reconciles FFO to net income/loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Financial Results Summary Listed below are significant financial statement items that affect comparability of GAAP net income/loss between periods.

(b) The total per share amounts may not total the sum of the individual per share amounts due to rounding. Effective January 1, 2006, in accordance with GAAP, EOP consolidated the assets, liabilities and results of operations of 18 joint ventures that were previously accounted for under the equity method. This consolidation did not impact net income or FFO, but did impact various line items on the statement of operations, making comparisons difficult. The attachment to this release, Impact of EITF 04-5, reflects the impact on both the balance sheet and statement of operations as a result of this change. Same-Store Revenue and Net Operating Income In the third quarter, same-store property operating revenues increased 4.3% on a year-over-year basis as a result of occupancy gains, higher tenant reimbursements, and market rent growth. Year-to-date same-store revenues increased .8%. The comparable 2005 year-to-date period included income from one significant lease termination. Same-store property net operating income (NOI), excluding income from early lease terminations and the effects of Hurricane Katrina, decreased 0.2% in the third quarter 2006 from the same period in 2005, and increased 0.5% on a year-to-date comparison from the same period in 2005. Quarterly and year-to-date property operating margins have declined as a result of higher utility costs and repairs and maintenance expenses. Leasing Results On a same-store basis, occupancy increased to 91.9% at quarter-end, up from 90.2% at the end of the third quarter last year. EOP�s effective office portfolio occupancy was 91.1% at September 30, 2006, compared to 89.3% at September 30, 2005. The effective office portfolio represents the company�s economic interest in the properties, which is used to derive GAAP net income. In third quarter 2006, the company leased 3.7 million square feet, compared to 5.3 million square feet in third quarter 2005 on a larger portfolio. For the first nine months of 2006, the company leased 12.7 million square feet, compared to 15.6 million square feet for the same period in 2005. Tenant improvements and leasing costs for leases that commenced during the third quarter 2006 were $20.66 per square foot on a weighted average basis, compared to $20.59 per square foot in the third quarter 2005. Tenant improvements and leasing costs for leases that commenced during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, were $18.23 per square foot on a weighted average basis, compared to $19.58 per square foot during the same period in 2005. Investment Activity �Given strong investor interest in office properties, we are marketing 16 million to 18 million square feet or $3 billion to $3.5 billion of assets for sale,� commented Kincaid. �We feel confident in our ability to execute a disposition program of this size, provided market conditions continue.� In the third quarter 2006, Equity Office sold 2.5 million square feet for $435.0 million. Year-to-date through October 30, the company sold assets totaling 5.7 million square feet for $966.4 million. EOP has recognized gains of approximately $177.1 million from property sales year-to-date through September 30, 2006. During the third quarter 2006, Equity Office acquired 1.6 million square feet of assets for $768.9 million, which included the acquisition of 1540 Broadway in New York City. Year-to-date through October 30, the company acquired over $1.1 billion of assets totaling 2.9 million square feet, including recent acquisitions in Miami, Florida. 2006 / 2007 Outlook Given the anticipated size of Equity Office�s current disposition program, 2006 and 2007 guidance assumes the sale of $3 billion to $3.5 billion of assets at targeted pricing levels. Guidance does not include any future impairments, acquisitions not currently under contract, share repurchases, or any dilutive impact of convertible debt, which, if significant, could materially impact guidance. Furthermore, future gains and losses are excluded from current guidance, and will be recognized and included in guidance updates as asset sales close. 2006� � � 2007� Diluted EPS ($0.07) to $0.08 $0.33 to $0.48 Less: Gain on Sales of Real Estate through September 30, 2006 ($0.44) --� Plus: Real Estate Depreciation and Amortization $2.10� � � $1.92� Diluted FFO per share $1.59 to $1.74 � � $2.25 to $2.40 The primary assumptions used in calculating the 2006 and 2007 EPS and FFO per share guidance ranges include: 2006� 2007� Year-End Effective Office Portfolio Occupancy 91% to 92% 92% to 94% Income from Early Lease Terminations $15 million to $20 million $10 million to $15 million Deferred Rental Revenue $35 million to $40 million $15 million to $20 million G&A Expense(excluding severance) $160 million to $170 million $150 million to $160 million Same-Store Property Net Operating Income Growth(a) 0% to 1% 1% to 2% Tenant Improvements and Leasing Costs $20.00 to $21.50 per square foot $20.00 to $21.50 per square foot � (a) excluding income from early lease terminations and hurricane related charges Conference Call Details Management will discuss its third quarter 2006 results on Equity Office�s earnings conference call scheduled for Tuesday, October 31, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. Central.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net (loss) income, to which it is reconciled. See definition below. � (b) FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 includes $188.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of non-cash impairment charges and losses on properties sold and properties held for sale, which is equivalent to $0.48 and $0.01 per share on a diluted basis, respectively. These charges are not added back to net (loss) income when calculating FFO. � FFO Definition: FFO is defined as net (loss) income, computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), excluding gains from sales of properties (but including losses from sales of properties, impairments and provisions for losses on properties held for sale), plus real estate related depreciation and amortization. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Equity Office believes that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. Equity Office further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other equity REITs. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net (loss) income when trying to understand an equity REIT�s operating performance. Equity Office computes FFO in accordance with its interpretation of the standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other equity REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than Equity Office does. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of Equity Office's financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of its liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund its cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. � Equity Office Properties Trust Reconciliation of Net Income to Funds From Operations ("FFO")(continued) � For the nine months ended September 30, 2006� 2005� (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) Reconciliation of net income to FFO (a): Net income $20,132� $15,276� Adjustments: Plus depreciation and amortization: Included in income from continuing operations and discontinued operations 689,006� 598,572� Included in income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures 8,613� 37,974� Allocated to minority interests in partially owned properties (51,771) (4,419) Non-real estate related depreciation and amortization (13,411) (10,429) Less net gain on sales of real estate: Included in income from continuing operations and discontinued operations (177,173) (194,721) Included in income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures (b) 91� (17,405) Allocated to minority interests in partially owned properties -� 29,699� Less minority interests in EOP Partnership share of the above adjustments (45,615) (44,228) FFO 429,872� 410,319� Preferred distributions (26,102) (26,102) FFO available to common shareholders - basic $403,770� $384,217� Net (loss) available to common shareholders per share - basic ($0.02) ($0.03) FFO available to common shareholders per share - basic $1.12� $0.95� � Adjustments to arrive at net (loss) and FFO available to common shareholders: Net Income (Loss) FFO (c) Net Income (Loss) FFO (c) Net income and FFO $20,132� $429,872� $15,276� $410,319� Preferred distributions (26,102) (26,102) (26,102) (26,102) Net (loss) and FFO available to common shareholders (5,970) 403,770� (10,826) 384,217� Net (loss) allocated to minority interests in EOP Partnership (665) (665) (1,212) (1,212) Minority interests in EOP Partnership share of the above adjustments -� 45,615� -� 44,228� Net (loss) and FFO available to common shareholders - diluted ($6,635) $448,720� ($12,038) $427,233� � Weighted average Common Shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding 400,765,403� 405,660,072� 455,370,659� 455,370,659� � Net (loss) and FFO available to common shareholders per share - diluted ($0.02) $1.11� ($0.03) $0.94� � � Common Shares and common share equivalents Weighted average Common Shares outstanding (used for both net (loss) and FFO basic per share calculation) 360,406,786� 405,866,866� Effect of dilutive potential common shares: Units 40,358,617� 45,682,227� Share options and restricted shares which are dilutive to both net (loss) and FFO -� 3,821,566� Weighted average Common Shares and dilutive potential common shares used for net (loss) available to common shareholders 400,765,403� 455,370,659� Impact of share options and restricted shares which are dilutive to FFO but not dilutive to net (loss) 4,894,669� -� Weighted average Common Shares and dilutive potential common shares used for the calculation of FFO available to common shareholders 405,660,072� 455,370,659� � (a) FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure.

These charges are not added back to net income when calculating FFO. � FFO Definition: FFO is defined as net income, computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), excluding gains from sales of properties (but including losses from sales of properties, impairments and provisions for losses on properties held for sale), plus real estate related depreciation and amortization. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Equity Office believes that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. Equity Office further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other equity REITs. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net income when trying to understand an equity REIT�s operating performance. Equity Office computes FFO in accordance with its interpretation of the standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other equity REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than Equity Office does. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of Equity Office's financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of its liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund its cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions.

"We continue to reposition our portfolio to take advantage of the positive momentum in office markets," commented Richard D. Kincaid, president and chief executive officer of Equity Office. "Rental rates have increased in virtually all of our strategic markets, with an overall increase in asking rents of 8.6% in the third quarter, as compared to a year ago. Occupancy in our portfolio has increased to over 91% driven by improving fundamentals throughout the country and strong leasing results." Financial and Operating Results For the third quarter 2006, Equity Office reported a net loss of $139.4 million with a diluted loss per share of $0.40, compared to net income of $93.7 million in the third quarter 2005, or $0.23 per share on a diluted basis. The third quarter 2006 loss was caused by a previously announced non-cash impairment charge of $188.9 million taken in anticipation of future asset sales. The company expects to recognize gains in excess of $700 million, assuming all of the proposed dispositions close at targeted prices and provided current market conditions continue. Gains from property sales in third quarter 2006 were $58.5 million, substantially all of which is included in this $700 million estimate. Quarterly results also included severance costs of $21.8 million related to a previously announced company reorganization. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, the company reported a net loss of $6.0 million with a diluted loss per share of $0.02, compared to a net loss of $10.8 million, or a net loss of $0.03 per share on a diluted basis in 2005. There were non-cash impairment and severance charges in both comparable year-to-date periods. The nine-month 2006 results included $177.1 million of gains on assets sold. Funds From Operations For the third quarter 2006, Funds From Operations (FFO) available to common shareholders resulted in a net loss of $3.4 million, or a loss of $0.01 per share on a diluted basis. FFO for the same period in 2005 totaled $227.7 million, or $0.50 per share on a diluted basis. Third quarter 2006 FFO included non-cash impairment and severance charges totaling $0.54 per diluted share. For the nine months ended September 30, 2006, FFO available to common shareholders totaled $448.7 million or $1.11 per share on a diluted basis. FFO for the same period in 2005 totaled $427.2 million, or $0.94 per share on a diluted basis. There were non-cash impairment and severance charges in both comparable nine-month periods. Also, the year-to-date 2005 results included one significant lease termination fee of $48.7 million, or $0.11 per diluted share. The attachment to this press release reconciles FFO to net income/loss, the most directly comparable GAAP measure. Financial Results Summary Listed below are significant financial statement items that affect comparability of GAAP net income/loss between periods. -0- *T For the three months ended September 30, ---------------------------------------- 2006 2005 ---------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands, except Per Share Per Share per share amounts) Amount - Diluted Amount - Diluted --------------------------------------------------------------------- Impairments, loss on sales of real estate, and assets held for sale (a) $(188,928) $(0.49) $(3,533) $(0.01) Gains on sales of real estate (a) 58,494 0.15 78,533 0.17 Hurricane related charges 2,000 0.01 (12,506) (0.03) Severance charges (a) (21,751) (0.06) (2,718) (0.01) Income from early lease terminations (a) 2,914 0.01 4,558 0.01 ---------------------------------------- Total (b) $(147,271) $(0.38) $64,334 $0.14 ======================================== For the nine months ended September 30, ---------------------------------------- 2006 2005 ---------------------------------------- (Dollars in thousands, except Per Share Per Share per share amounts) Amount - Diluted Amount - Diluted --------------------------------------------------------------------- Impairments, loss on sales of real estate, and assets held for sale (a) $(190,131) $(0.47)$(384,119) $(0.84) Gains on sales of real estate (a) 177,082 0.44 182,427 0.40 Hurricane related charges 2,000 0.00 (12,506) (0.03) Severance charges (a) (24,847) (0.06) (7,112) (0.02) Income from early lease terminations (a) 12,331 0.03 66,816 0.15 ---------------------------------------- Total (b) $(23,565) $(0.06)$(154,494) $(0.34) ======================================== *T (a) Includes amounts from continuing operations, discontinued operations and our share of joint ventures. (b) The total per share amounts may not total the sum of the individual per share amounts due to rounding. Effective January 1, 2006, in accordance with GAAP, EOP consolidated the assets, liabilities and results of operations of 18 joint ventures that were previously accounted for under the equity method. This consolidation did not impact net income or FFO, but did impact various line items on the statement of operations, making comparisons difficult. The attachment to this release, Impact of EITF 04-5, reflects the impact on both the balance sheet and statement of operations as a result of this change. Same-Store Revenue and Net Operating Income In the third quarter, same-store property operating revenues increased 4.3% on a year-over-year basis as a result of occupancy gains, higher tenant reimbursements, and market rent growth. Year-to-date same-store revenues increased .8%. The comparable 2005 year-to-date period included income from one significant lease termination. Same-store property net operating income (NOI), excluding income from early lease terminations and the effects of Hurricane Katrina, decreased 0.2% in the third quarter 2006 from the same period in 2005, and increased 0.5% on a year-to-date comparison from the same period in 2005. Quarterly and year-to-date property operating margins have declined as a result of higher utility costs and repairs and maintenance expenses. Leasing Results On a same-store basis, occupancy increased to 91.9% at quarter-end, up from 90.2% at the end of the third quarter last year. EOP's effective office portfolio occupancy was 91.1% at September 30, 2006, compared to 89.3% at September 30, 2005. The effective office portfolio represents the company's economic interest in the properties, which is used to derive GAAP net income. In third quarter 2006, the company leased 3.7 million square feet, compared to 5.3 million square feet in third quarter 2005 on a larger portfolio. For the first nine months of 2006, the company leased 12.7 million square feet, compared to 15.6 million square feet for the same period in 2005. Tenant improvements and leasing costs for leases that commenced during the third quarter 2006 were $20.66 per square foot on a weighted average basis, compared to $20.59 per square foot in the third quarter 2005. Tenant improvements and leasing costs for leases that commenced during the nine months ended September 30, 2006, were $18.23 per square foot on a weighted average basis, compared to $19.58 per square foot during the same period in 2005. Investment Activity "Given strong investor interest in office properties, we are marketing 16 million to 18 million square feet or $3 billion to $3.5 billion of assets for sale," commented Kincaid. "We feel confident in our ability to execute a disposition program of this size, provided market conditions continue." In the third quarter 2006, Equity Office sold 2.5 million square feet for $435.0 million. Year-to-date through October 30, the company sold assets totaling 5.7 million square feet for $966.4 million. EOP has recognized gains of approximately $177.1 million from property sales year-to-date through September 30, 2006. During the third quarter 2006, Equity Office acquired 1.6 million square feet of assets for $768.9 million, which included the acquisition of 1540 Broadway in New York City. Year-to-date through October 30, the company acquired over $1.1 billion of assets totaling 2.9 million square feet, including recent acquisitions in Miami, Florida. 2006 / 2007 Outlook Given the anticipated size of Equity Office's current disposition program, 2006 and 2007 guidance assumes the sale of $3 billion to $3.5 billion of assets at targeted pricing levels. Guidance does not include any future impairments, acquisitions not currently under contract, share repurchases, or any dilutive impact of convertible debt, which, if significant, could materially impact guidance. Furthermore, future gains and losses are excluded from current guidance, and will be recognized and included in guidance updates as asset sales close. -0- *T 2006 2007 ---------------------------------- Diluted EPS ($0.07) to $0.08 $0.33 to $0.48 Less: Gain on Sales of Real Estate through September 30, 2006 ($0.44) -- Plus: Real Estate Depreciation and Amortization $2.10 $1.92 ---------------------------------- Diluted FFO per share $1.59 to $1.74 $2.25 to $2.40 ================================== *T The primary assumptions used in calculating the 2006 and 2007 EPS and FFO per share guidance ranges include: -0- *T 2006 2007 Year-End Effective Office Portfolio Occupancy 91% to 92% 92% to 94% Income from Early Lease $15 million to $10 million to Terminations $20 million $15 million Deferred Rental Revenue $35 million to $15 million to $40 million $20 million G&A Expense $160 million to $150 million to (excluding severance) $170 million $160 million Same-Store Property Net Operating Income Growth(a) 0% to 1% 1% to 2% Tenant Improvements and Leasing $20.00 to $21.50 $20.00 to $21.50 Costs per square foot per square foot (a) excluding income from early lease terminations and hurricane related charges *T Conference Call Details Management will discuss its third quarter 2006 results on Equity Office's earnings conference call scheduled for Tuesday, October 31, 2006, at 10:00 a.m. Central.

Prior periods have not been restated for this change. The table below summarizes the effect on Equity Office's assets and liabilities as a result of the consolidation of these joint ventures.

Upon consolidation, Equity Office's results of operations include the revenues and expenses of these joint ventures and an allocation to the minority interest partners for their share of the net income. The consolidation of the joint ventures did not impact net income available to common shareholders or funds from operations available to common shareholders. The table below summarizes the effect on Equity Office's results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2006 as a result of the consolidation of these joint ventures.

The most directly comparable GAAP measure is net (loss) income, to which it is reconciled. See definition below. (b) FFO for the three months ended September 30, 2006 and 2005 includes $188.9 million and $3.5 million, respectively, of non-cash impairment charges and losses on properties sold and properties held for sale, which is equivalent to $0.48 and $0.01 per share on a diluted basis, respectively. These charges are not added back to net (loss) income when calculating FFO. *T FFO Definition: FFO is defined as net (loss) income, computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States ("GAAP"), excluding gains from sales of properties (but including losses from sales of properties, impairments and provisions for losses on properties held for sale), plus real estate related depreciation and amortization. Adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures are calculated to reflect FFO on the same basis. Equity Office believes that FFO is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. Equity Office further believes that by excluding the effect of depreciation, amortization and gains from sales of real estate, all of which are based on historical costs and which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance, FFO can facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other equity REITs. Investors should review FFO, along with GAAP net (loss) income when trying to understand an equity REIT's operating performance. Equity Office computes FFO in accordance with its interpretation of the standards established by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"), which may not be comparable to FFO reported by other equity REITs that do not define the term in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or that interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than Equity Office does. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP, nor does it represent cash available to pay distributions and should not be considered as an alternative to net (loss) income, determined in accordance with GAAP, as an indication of Equity Office's financial performance, or to cash flow from operating activities, determined in accordance with GAAP, as a measure of its liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund its cash needs, including its ability to make cash distributions. -0- *T Equity Office Properties Trust Reconciliation of Net Income to Funds From Operations ("FFO")(continued) For the nine months ended September 30, ------------------------------ 2006 2005 --------------- -------------- (Dollars in thousands, except per share amounts) Reconciliation of net income to FFO (a): Net income $20,132 $15,276 Adjustments: Plus depreciation and amortization: Included in income from continuing operations and discontinued operations 689,006 598,572 Included in income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures 8,613 37,974 Allocated to minority interests in partially owned properties (51,771) (4,419) Non-real estate related depreciation and amortization (13,411) (10,429) Less net gain on sales of real estate: Included in income from continuing operations and discontinued operations (177,173) (194,721) Included in income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures (b) 91 (17,405) Allocated to minority interests in partially owned properties - 29,699 Less minority interests in EOP Partnership share of the above adjustments (45,615) (44,228) --------- --------- FFO 429,872 410,319 Preferred distributions (26,102) (26,102) --------- --------- FFO available to common shareholders - basic $403,770 $384,217 ========= ========= Net (loss) available to common shareholders per share - basic ($0.02) ($0.03) ========= ========= FFO available to common shareholders per share - basic $1.12 $0.95 ========= ========= *T -0- *T Adjustments to arrive at net (loss) and FFO available to Net Income Net Income common shareholders: (Loss) FFO (c) (Loss) FFO (c) ------------------------ ------------------------ Net income and FFO $20,132 $429,872 $15,276 $410,319 Preferred distributions (26,102) (26,102) (26,102) (26,102) ------------------------ ------------------------ Net (loss) and FFO available to common shareholders (5,970) 403,770 (10,826) 384,217 Net (loss) allocated to minority interests in EOP Partnership (665) (665) (1,212) (1,212) Minority interests in EOP Partnership share of the above adjustments - 45,615 - 44,228 ------------------------ ------------------------ Net (loss) and FFO available to common shareholders - diluted ($6,635) $448,720 ($12,038) $427,233 ======================== ======================== Weighted average Common Shares and dilutive potential common shares outstanding 400,765,403 405,660,072 455,370,659 455,370,659 ======================== ======================== Net (loss) and FFO available to common shareholders per share - diluted ($0.02) $1.11 ($0.03) $0.94 ======================== ======================== *T -0- *T Common Shares and common share equivalents ------------------------------------------- Weighted average Common Shares outstanding (used for both net (loss) and FFO basic per share calculation) 360,406,786 405,866,866 Effect of dilutive potential common shares: Units 40,358,617 45,682,227 Share options and restricted shares which are dilutive to both net (loss) and FFO - 3,821,566 --------------------- -------------------- Weighted average Common Shares and dilutive potential common shares used for net (loss) available to common shareholders 400,765,403 455,370,659 Impact of share options and restricted shares which are dilutive to FFO but not dilutive to net (loss) 4,894,669 - --------------------- -------------------- Weighted average Common Shares and dilutive potential common shares used for the calculation of FFO available to common shareholders 405,660,072 455,370,659 ===================== ==================== (a) FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure.
