 has achieved a 42% compounded annual growth rate in EBDDT per share.

"Catellus had a terrific year in 2000," commented Nelson C. Rising, chairman and chief executive officer. "Our accomplishments demonstrate the success of our business model, which was designed to provide stability and sustainable growth even during periods of economic uncertainty. We have built our business on a platform of high quality income producing properties, a strong balance sheet with ample liquidity, talented real estate professionals, and a one-of-a-kind inventory of developable land. In doing so, we have achieved an appropriate balance of growth and stability by deriving de·rive

." Rising went on to make the following points:

Catellus is positioned for continued growth in net operating income from our stable rental portfolio because we:
- Increased our rental portfolio in 2000 to 28.8 million square feet,
diversified by tenant industry and competitive markets, with overall occupancy
at 95.7% at year end.

- Grew 2000 NOI by 18% over 1999 to $161.3 million, predominantly from new
development completed over the last two years.

- Completed 5.2 million square feet of high quality newly constructed
properties which was added to our rental portfolio at a cost of $173.0 million,
and which is expected to contribute $20.0 million to NOI on a fully stabilized
annual basis. Only $9.0 million of NOI was realized from these new properties
in 2000.

- Began 2001 with 3.5 million square feet under construction. Of that total,
3.3 million square feet is expected to be added to our rental portfolio, which
when completed and stabilized is expected to cost $191.0 million and to
contribute approximately $25.5 million in annual NOI.


Catellus began 2001 with increased financial strength because we:

      NOTE: We use a supplemental performance measure, earnings before
depreciation and deferred taxes (EBDDT), along with net income, to
report our operating results. EBDDT is not a measure of operating
results or cash flows from operating activities as defined by
generally accepted accounting principles. Further, EBDDT is not
necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should
not be considered as an alternative to cash flows as a measure of
liquidity. We believe that EBDDT provides relevant information about
our operations and is useful, along with net income, for an
understanding of our operating results.

      EBDDT is calculated by making various adjustments to net income.
Depreciation expense, amortization and deferred income taxes are added
back to net income as they represent non-cash charges. Since
depreciation expense is added back to net income in arriving at EBDDT,
the portion of gain on property sales attributable to depreciation
recapture is excluded from EBDDT. In addition, gains on the sale of
non-strategic assets and extraordinary items, including their current
tax effect, represent unusual and/or non-recurring items and are
excluded from the EBDDT calculation. A reconciliation from net income
to EBDDT is provided.
