RADNOR, Pa., April 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Brandywine Realty Trust (NYSE:
BDN), a real estate investment trust focused on the ownership, management and
development of Class A, suburban and urban office properties in the
mid-Atlantic region and other selected markets throughout the United States,
announced today its financial and operating results for the three-month period
ended March 31, 2009.  The highlights are as follows:

Financial Highlights - First Quarter

    --  Net loss allocated to common shares totaled $2.8 million or ($0.03)
per
        diluted share in the first quarter of 2009 compared to net income of
        $10.9 million or $0.13 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008.

        The first quarter of 2009 included $6.6 million of gains on the early
        extinguishment of debt, a $3.7 million provision for the impairment of
        real estate and $2.9 million of incremental credit reserves, while the
        first quarter of 2008 included $2.6 million of gains on the early
        extinguishment of debt and $11.0 million of income attributable to
        discontinued operations.
    --  Funds from operations available to common shares and units (FFO) in
the
        first quarter of 2009 totaled $50.5 million ($54.2 million excluding
the
        $3.7 million impairment charge) or $0.55 per diluted share ($0.60 per
        diluted share excluding the impairment charge) compared to $60.5
million
        or $0.67 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008.  Our first
        quarter 2009 FFO payout ratio was 54.5% ($0.30 common share dividend
        paid / $0.55 FFO per share) or 50.0% excluding the impairment charge.


    --  In the first quarter of 2009, we incurred $8.5 million of revenue
        maintaining capital expenditures which along with our other
adjustments
        to FFO, resulted in $43.9 million of cash available for distribution
        (CAD) or $0.48 per diluted share compared to $46.4 million of CAD or
        $0.51 per diluted share in the first quarter of 2008 when we incurred
        $6.8 million of revenue maintaining capital expenditures.  Our first
        quarter 2009 CAD payout ratio was 62.5% ($0.30 common share dividend
        paid / $0.48 CAD per share).



Portfolio Highlights

    --  In the first quarter of 2009, our net operating income (NOI) excluding
        termination revenues and other income items increased 0.3% on a GAAP
        basis and 5.6% on a cash basis for our 233 same store properties which
        were 91.2% and 93.2% occupied on March 31, 2009 and March 31, 2008,
        respectively.
    --  During the first quarter of 2009, we completed 717,986 square feet of
        total leasing activity including 510,285 square feet of renewals,
        118,223 square feet of new leases and 89,478 square feet of tenant
        expansions.  We achieved a 78.1% retention rate in our core portfolio
        with negative net absorption of 50,099 square feet excluding 21,328
        square feet of early terminations and 178,641 square feet of tenant
        bankruptcies, or 62.0% including these items.  During the first
quarter
        of 2009, we achieved an 11.2% increase on our renewal rental rates and
a
        6.5% decrease on our new lease and expansion rental rates, both on a
        GAAP basis.


    --  At March 31, 2009, our core portfolio (excluding four recently
completed
        but not yet stabilized developments) was 91.2% occupied and 92.0%
leased
        (reflecting leases commencing after March 31, 2009).  With these four
        developments included, our core portfolio was 89.3% occupied and 91.6%
        leased at March 31, 2009.  We owned 245 properties at March 31, 2009,
        encompassing 237 core properties aggregating 23.8 million square feet
        and eight development/ redevelopment properties aggregating 2.3
million
        square feet.



Investment Highlights

    --  In the first quarter of 2009, we sold three properties in two
        transactions, generating $10.1 million of gross consideration and $0.2
        million of gains.  Subsequent to quarter end, we closed a $26.5
million
        sale of a single property bringing year to date sales to $36.6
million,
        or just over 20% of our $180 million 2009 sales goal.  Net of
        transaction costs and a twelve month $1.0 million seller financing on
        one of the smaller sales, we realized $33.5 million of aggregate net
        proceeds from these sales which we used for debt repayments and other
        general corporate purposes.  We currently have approximately $135
        million of transactions in active discussions with $85 million of that
        under firm contract.  We have many other properties in earlier stages
of
        marketing or in initial bid solicitation and remain confident that we
        will meet or exceed our 2009 sales target.


    --  At March 31, 2009, we were proceeding on two developments and six
        redevelopments with total project costs of $440.7 million of which a
        total of $276.5 million remained to be funded - $161.2 million in 2009
        and $115.3 million in 2010.  These amounts include $355.5 million of
        total project costs for the combined 30th Street Post Office (100%
        leased to the Internal Revenue Service) and Cira South Garage (94.3%
        leased to the Internal Revenue Service) in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania
of
        which $257.2 million remained to be funded at March 31, 2009.  We are
        also finishing the lease-up of the four recently completed
developments
        for which we expect to spend up to an additional $35.6 million, all in
        2009.



Capital Markets Highlights

    --  During the first quarter of 2009, we repurchased a total of $34.9
        million of our unsecured senior notes maturing in 2009, 2010 and 2011
        (our exchangeable notes due 2026 with a put date in October 2011) in
        open-market transactions and completed a tender for $40.3 million of
our
        2009 Notes ($28.4 million of which are being held along with $4.1
        million of prior open-market repurchases of these notes in an escrow
        account until the November 2009 maturity), generating aggregate gains
of
        $6.6 million on the early extinguishment of debt.
    --  At March 31, 2009, our net debt to gross assets measured 50.6%
compared
        to a peak of 54.3% at September 30, 2007, reflecting a $535.6 million
        reduction in our net debt over that eighteen-month period.  At March
31,
        2009, we had $389.5 million available for use and drawdown under our
        various credit facilities.
    --  We achieved a 2.6 times interest coverage ratio for the quarter ended
        March 31, 2009, the same as we achieved for the quarter ended March
31,
        2008.


    --  Subsequent to quarter end, we closed an $89.8 million first mortgage
        financing on Two Logan Square, a 702,006 square foot, 99.1% leased,
        class A, office tower in Philadelphia, PA.  The loan features a 7.57%
        rate and a seven-year term with three years of interest only payments
        followed by a thirty-year amortization schedule.  $68.6 million of the
        proceeds was used to repay without penalty the balance of the former
Two
        Logan first mortgage loan and $21.2 million was used for general
        corporate purposes including the repayment of existing indebtedness.




"Our 2009 plan remains very much on track and is holding up well in the face
of challenging economic conditions," stated Gerard H. Sweeney, President and
Chief Executive Officer of Brandywine Realty Trust.  "We had a successful
quarter on our leasing activities, meeting or exceeding our objectives for new
leases, retention, lease rates and capital deployment.  We were pleased to
close the Two Logan loan, and with continued progress on our capital raising
initiatives, remain focused on sales and financings to enhance our balance
sheet management and liquidity."

Distributions
Our dividend policy is to match aggregate 2009 common share dividends to 2009
taxable income and to evaluate the mix of cash and common shares on an ongoing
basis. On March 18, 2009, our Board of Trustees declared a quarterly dividend
distribution of $0.10 per common share that was paid on April 17, 2009 to
shareholders of record as of April 3, 2009, bringing total year-to-date 2009
dividends to $0.40 per common share.  Our Board also declared regular
quarterly dividend distributions of $0.46875 per 7.50% Series C Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Share and $0.460938 per 7.375% Series D Cumulative
Redeemable Preferred Share that were paid on April 15, 2009 to holders of
record as of March 30, 2009 of the Series C and Series D Preferred Shares,
respectively.

2009 Earnings and FFO Guidance
Based on current plans and assumptions and subject to the risks and
uncertainties more fully described in our Securities and Exchange Commission
filings, we are maintaining our previously issued guidance for full year 2009
FFO per diluted share to be in a range of $2.04 to $2.21 excluding impairment
charges.  When applicable, we report our FFO both with and without impairment
charges.  Our earnings and FFO guidance is provided for informational purposes
and is subject to change.  The following is a reconciliation of the
calculation of 2009 FFO per diluted share and earnings per diluted share:



    Guidance for 2009                                       Range or Value

          Adjusted FFO per diluted share                  $2.04   to   $2.21
                                                          =====        =====


Our 2009 FFO guidance does not include any income or impairments from the sale
of real estate not previously disclosed.  Our 2009 FFO guidance does not
include any income from the sale of undepreciated real estate, in accordance
with our current practice.

Accounting Disclosures
On January 1, 2009, we adopted FSP APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial
Cash Settlement), which requires retrospective application.  This adoption
impacts our exchangeable notes due 2026 with a put date in 2011 that had an
outstanding balance of $264.5 million as of March 31, 2009 and which were
originally issued in October 2006.  The retrospective treatment requires us to
bifurcate the net proceeds of the exchangeable notes on a relative fair value
basis (based on the then market "straight debt" interest rate) between
unsecured debt and the equity conversion options issued in the transaction and
affects previously recognized interest expense, capitalized interest and gain
on extinguishment of debt associated with the convertible notes, and all
related calculations such as net income per diluted share of the Company.

On January 1, 2009, we adopted FAS 160, Non-controlling Interests in
Consolidated Financial Statements an Amendment to ARB 51, which affects the
classification and potential recognition of any non-controlling interest
(formerly called minority interest) relating to Operating Partnership
unit-holders and outside owners of our three consolidated real estate
ventures.  Based on our analysis, the non-controlling interests related to the
Operating Partnership will be reflected as a component of the Equity section
of our Consolidated Balance Sheet, instead of within the "mezzanine" section. 
In addition, the non-controlling interest's portion of earnings is now
presented below net income.  This presentation is applied retrospectively.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Financial Measures
We compute our financial results in accordance with generally accepted
accounting principles (GAAP).  Although FFO, NOI and CAD are non-GAAP
financial measures, we believe that FFO, NOI and CAD calculations are helpful
to shareholders and potential investors and are widely recognized measures of
real estate investment trust performance.  At the end of this press release,
we have provided a reconciliation of the non-GAAP financial measures to the
most directly comparable GAAP measure.

Funds from Operations (FFO)  
We compute FFO in accordance with standards established by the National
Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (NAREIT), which may not be
comparable to FFO reported by other REITs that do not compute FFO in
accordance with the NAREIT definition, or that interpret the NAREIT definition
differently than us.  NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) before
non-controlling interests and excluding gains (losses) on sales of property
and extraordinary items (computed in accordance with GAAP); plus real estate
related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred
financing costs), and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint
ventures.  Net income, the GAAP measure that we believe to be most directly
comparable to FFO, includes depreciation and amortization expenses, gains or
losses on property sales, extraordinary items and non-controlling interests. 
To facilitate a clear understanding of our historical operating results, FFO
should be examined in conjunction with net income (determined in accordance
with GAAP) as presented in the financial statements included elsewhere in this
release.  FFO does not represent cash flow from operating activities
(determined in accordance with GAAP) and should not be considered to be an
alternative to net income (loss) (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an
indication of our financial performance or to be an alternative to cash flow
from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of
our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs,
including our ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

For information purposes, we also provide FFO adjusted for impairment charges.
 Although our calculation of FFO as adjusted differs from NAREIT's definition
of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real estate
companies, we believe it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of our
operating performance because we believe that by excluding impairment charges,
shareholders and potential investors are presented with an indicator of our
operating performance that more closely achieves the objectives of the real
estate industry in presenting FFO.

Net Operating Income (NOI)
NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure equal to net income available to common
shareholders, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, plus
corporate general and administrative expense, depreciation and amortization,
interest expense, non-controlling interests and losses from early
extinguishment of debt, less interest income, development and management
income, gains from property dispositions, gains on sale from discontinued
operations, gains on early extinguishment of debt, income from discontinued
operations, income from unconsolidated joint ventures and non-controlling
interests.  In some cases, we also present NOI on a cash basis, which is NOI
after eliminating the effect of straight-lining of rent and deferred market
intangible amortization.  NOI presented by us may not be comparable to NOI
reported by other REITs that define NOI differently.  NOI should not be
considered an alternative to net income as an indication of our performance,
or as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of
our liquidity or ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

Cash Available for Distribution (CAD)
CAD is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not intended as an alternative to
cash flow from operating activities as determined under GAAP.  CAD is
presented solely as a supplemental disclosure with respect to liquidity
because we believe it provides useful information regarding our ability to
fund our distributions.  Because other companies do not necessarily calculate
CAD the same way as we do, our presentation of CAD may not be comparable to
similarly titled measures provided by other companies.

Revenue Maintaining Capital Expenditures
Revenue maintaining capital expenditures, a non-GAAP financial measure, are a
component of our CAD calculation and represent the portion of capital
expenditures required to maintain our current level of funds available for
distribution.  Revenue maintaining capital expenditures include current tenant
improvement and allowance expenditures for all tenant spaces that have been
owned for at least one year, and that were not vacant during the twelve-month
period prior to the date that the tenant improvement or allowance expenditure
was approved.  Revenue maintaining capital expenditures also include other
expenditures intended to maintain our current revenue base.  Accordingly, we
exclude capital expenditures related to development and redevelopment
projects, as well as certain projects at our core properties that are intended
to attract prospective tenants in order to increase revenues and/or occupancy
rates.
