SUMMARY

Gramercy Capital Corp. (NYSE: GKK | Quote | Chart | News | PowerRating) today reported results for the third quarter ended September 30, 2009. Funds from operations ("FFO") was negative $178.2 million, or $3.57 per fully diluted common share, compared to positive FFO of $30.6 million, or $0.60 per fully diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2008. Net loss to common stockholders was $203.1 million, or $4.07 per fully diluted common share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2009, compared to net income of $7.3 million, or $0.14 per fully diluted common share, for the third quarter of 2008. The Company generated total revenues of $153.6 million during the third quarter, a decrease of $19.6 million from $173.2 million generated during the same quarter of the prior year.

At September 30, 2009, the Company owned 26.4 million rentable square feet of commercial real estate in 36 states and the District of Columbia with an aggregate book value of approximately $3.8 billion, in addition to $1.5 billion of loan investments, $983.4 million of commercial mortgage real estate securities investments, and $706.4 million in other assets. As of September 30, 2009, approximately 54.3% of the Company's assets were comprised of commercial property, 21.4% of debt investments, 14.1% of commercial mortgage real estate securities and 10.2% of other assets.

DEBENTURE EXCHANGE

On October 15, 2009, the Company's operating partnership subsidiary (the "OP") entered into an Exchange Agreement with certain affiliates of Taberna Capital Management, LLC (collectively, "Taberna"), pursuant to which the Company and Taberna agreed to exchange (the "Exchange") $97.5 million aggregate principal amount of junior subordinated notes due 2035 for approximately $97.5 million par amount of bonds previously issued by the Company's CDOs that the Company had repurchased in the open market. The transaction will be accounted for as an exchange of debt and beginning in the 4th quarter of 2009, the Company's GAAP interest expense will decrease by approximately $5.3 million annually. As a condition precedent to the Exchange Agreement, certain indenture covenants with respect to the junior subordinated notes which restrict the OP and its subsidiaries from declaring or paying dividends or distributions and taking certain other corporate actions during the 2009 calendar year have been eliminated from the remaining $52.5 million of junior subordinated notes outstanding.

LIQUIDITY AND FUNDING

The Company remains focused on extending debt maturities and restructuring certain debt facilities, actively managing portfolio credit, generating liquidity from existing assets and leasing vacant space. Liquidity at September 30, 2009 was $200.1 million, an increase of $63.1 million from the $137.0 million of liquidity for the prior quarter. The Company's liquidity at September 30, 2009 included $96.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $103.4 million of restricted cash in its three CDOs. Cash and cash equivalents increased $9.1 million as of September 30, 2009 as compared to $87.6 million at the end of the second quarter. Restricted cash in the Company's three CDOs increased by $54.0 million as of September 30, 2009 as compared to $49.4 million at the end of the second quarter. The increase in restricted cash in the CDOs was primarily attributable to the sale of a property acquired through foreclosure.

During the first quarter of 2009, the Company resolved or restructured substantially all of its recourse debt obligations. From January 1, 2009 through September 30, 2009, the Company's secured and other debt was reduced by $355.3 million as a result of these restructurings, additional cash repayments and sales of certain loan investments classified as held for sale that served as collateral for these borrowings. In October 2009, Gramercy repaid in full borrowings of $4.3 million under its secured credit facility with an affiliate of Goldman, Sachs & Co., and terminated the facility. Also in October 2009, the Company satisfied substantially all of its contingent payment obligation in connection with a negotiated settlement during the first quarter of 2009 of its $172.3 million unsecured corporate credit facility with a syndicate of lenders led by KeyBank National Association.

Loan prepayments, partial repayments, and scheduled amortization payments were $8.4 million during the quarter. Unfunded commitments associated with existing loans declined to $38.2 million at September 30, 2009 from $50.4 million at June 30, 2009.

Additionally, Gramercy Realty sold 15 properties for an aggregate gross sales price of approximately $9.8 million. Approximately $5.2 million of debt related to these properties was repaid.

The Company's CDOs contain minimum interest coverage and asset overcollateralization covenants that must be satisfied for the Company to receive cash flow on the interests retained by the Company in its CDOs and to receive the subordinate collateral management fee earned. During periods when these covenants are not satisfied for a particular CDO, cash flows from that CDO that would otherwise be paid to the Company as a bondholder and holder of the preferred shares may be diverted away from the Company to repay principal and interest on the most senior outstanding CDO bonds. As of the most recent distribution date for each CDO, (10/25/09 for CDOs 2005-1 and 2006-1 and 8/15/09 for CDO 2007-1), the Company was in compliance with the interest coverage and asset over collateralization covenants. Future declines in performance and credit metrics could cause one or more of the Company's CDOs to fall out of compliance and, in such event, cash flows from the CDOs to the Company as a bondholder and holder of the preferred shares may be reduced or eliminated. The chart below is a summary of the Company's CDO compliance tests as of the most recent distribution date.

Cash Flow Triggers          CDO 2005-1  CDO 2006-1  CDO2007-1
Overcollateralization (1)
Current                     118.29 %    107.82 %    102.12 %
Limit                       117.85 %    105.15 %    102.05 %

Interest Coverage (2)

Limit                       132.85 %    105.15 %    N/A
Pass/Fail                   Pass        Pass        N/A

(1) The overcollateralization ratio divides the total principal balance of all collateral in the CDO by the total bonds outstanding for the classes senior to those retained by the Company. To the extent an asset is considered a defaulted security, the asset's principal balance is multiplied by the asset's recovery rate which is determined by the rating agencies.

(2) The interest coverage ratio divides interest income by interest expense for the classes senior to those retained by the Company.

The Company expects that the overcollateralization test for the CDO 2007-1 will fail at the November 2009 distribution date. However, as the Company does not currently receive cash flows as the holder of the preferred shares of the CDO 2007-1, no incremental loss of cash flow is expected.

OPERATING RESULTS

For the third quarter, Gramercy Realty's rental revenues totaled $77.7 million, and related operating expenses aggregated $46.0 million as compared to same quarter of the prior year rental revenues of $77.0 million and related operating expenses of $49.9 million. Net operating income from Gramercy Realty for the three months ended September 30, 2009 increased by 1.6% to $62.8 million from $61.8 million in the third quarter of 2008, inclusive of reclassification adjustments of discontinued operations.

Gramercy Finance's debt investments generated investment income of $42.2 million for the third quarter, as compared to $44.9 million for the prior quarter.

Interest expense of $55.9 million for the third quarter, as compared to $58.2 million for the prior quarter, declined due to the corporate debt restructuring and resolutions completed in the first and second quarters of 2009 as well as decreases in LIBOR. Interest expense includes costs related to $2.6 billion of long-term notes issued by the three CDOs but not held by the Company, $2.3 billion of mortgage and mezzanine notes payable, and $199.0 million of other debt.

Marketing, general and administrative expense was $8.5 million, an increase of $1.1 million from the $7.4 million incurred in the prior quarter, primarily reflecting the additional costs incurred in the connection with the restructuring of 14 Gramercy Finance debt investments.

DIVIDENDS

Beginning with the third quarter of 2008, the Company's board of directors elected not to pay a dividend on the common stock, which for the second quarter of 2008 was $0.63 per share.
