Chris Grigg, Chief Executive said: "This is a strong financial performance from British Land which reflects the good progress we have made right across the business during what has been a busy quarter. We continued to outperform the IPD benchmark and delivered good growth in income, valuation and NAV. Looking forward, while the UK recovery is likely to be muted, British Land is well placed to benefit from occupier and investor demand for high quality space in retail and central London offices coupled with an increase in acquisition opportunities at more realistic prices."

Notes to Editors:
British Land is one of the UK's largest Real Estate Investment Trusts with total assets, owned or under management, valued at £14.5 billion (British Land share £9.3 billion), as at 31 December 2010. Our property portfolio is focused on high quality retail locations and central London offices which we believe are well placed to benefit from growing customer demand. We have among the highest occupancy rates and average lease lengths of the major UK REITs at 98.1% and 12.1 years respectively.
Retail assets account for 66% of our portfolio, around 80% of which are located at prime out-of-town sites. Our portfolio comprises over 26 million sq ft of retail space across 89 retail warehouse properties, 99 superstores, 11 shopping centres and 10 department stores. Our portfolio benefits from flexible planning consents making the portfolio adaptable to a wide range of formats. This allows us to actively manage our portfolio and deliver the most attractive space to both retailers and consumers.
Central London offices currently comprise 32% of the portfolio. Our portfolio comprises 6 million sq ft of office space and includes a 50% share in Broadgate, the premier office campus in the City and Regent's Place, an office estate in the West End. During 2010, we committed to a significant development programme in central London which, on the basis of current estimates of values at completion, increases the weighting of offices in the group's portfolio from 32% to nearly 40%. These developments, which will deliver 2.2 million sq ft of high quality space in the City and West End by 2014, include: a new 700,000 sq ft building for UBS at Broadgate; the 610,000 sq ft Leadenhall Building in London's insurance district; and the 500,000 sq ft NEQ building, which will complete the Regent's Place estate in the West End. The aggregate development cost, including land and interest is expected to be £1.5 billion, of which British Land's share is £1.0 billion.

CHIEF EXECUTIVE'S REVIEW
It was a busy quarter for British Land and we made excellent progress across all areas of our business - asset management, development and investment - in line with our objective of delivering superior total shareholder returns. Our capital returns over the last 12 months are now significantly ahead of the IPD benchmark at +13.3% compared to +8.5% for IPD. The strength of our income, valuation and NAV performance reflect:
· Our sector focus - high quality retail and prime central London offices - where occupier trends have improved and investor demand remains strong. ERVs across our portfolio rose by 0.5% on the prior quarter bringing the increase for the year to date to 1.8%, ahead of the IPD benchmark at +0.1% for the quarter and -0.1% for the year to date;
· Our income focus - best in class income profile with long leases (average 12.1 years) and high occupancy (98.1%) in locations and formats with strong occupier appeal;
· Successful asset management - with lettings ahead of ERVs in both retail and offices;
· Higher development valuations - the valuation of our office developments rose by 11.9% reflecting continued strong growth in central London office rents.
We continued to build our future income stream with an additional £330 million of capital committed to acquisitions since the beginning of the quarter, which included the purchase of Drake Circus shopping centre in Plymouth. We also concluded our agreement to develop the Leadenhall Building in a joint venture with Oxford Properties. So far in 2010/11, we have committed to £1.9 billion (BL share £1.4 billion) of development projects and acquisitions with further prospective deals under review.
Financial Overview
· Portfolio valuation up 2.3% to £9.3 billion - continued trend of outperformance reflecting asset allocation and focus on prime properties. The uplift in the office portfolio valuation was driven by continued investor confidence in central London with yield compression and ERV growth in standing investments and developments, notably the Leadenhall Building. The retail portfolio valuation growth reflected continued investor appetite for high quality retail with Meadowhall also benefiting from rental performance, and the Oasis food court redevelopment.
· NAV per share up 4.4% with 12 month increase of 25%. Net Asset Value per share increased to 548 pence, which compares with 438 pence at 31 December 2009 and 525 pence at September 2010.
· Underlying profits growth (+10%). Underlying pre-tax profits at £64 million were 10% ahead of the comparable quarter last year, benefiting from the successful letting of newly developed space over the last year. Underlying pre-tax profits for the 9 months at £191 million are now significantly ahead of prior year, excluding the 2009 provision release.
· Dividend maintained at 6.5 pence for the quarter, as previously indicated, taking total accounting returns to shareholders in the form of capital growth and dividends to 5.6% for the quarter and 31.1% for the last 12 months.
Asset Management Highlights
· Improving retail rental performance with ERVs ahead by 0.4% up from +0.1% in the second quarter. This compares with declines of 0.1% for the IPD benchmark in both quarters. We agreed a total of 170,000 sq ft of new lettings and renewals at an average of 7.3% ahead of ERV. This included 20,000 sq ft of new lettings at Meadowhall and 50,000 sq ft of space let at Rotherham to Asda Living and Currys/PC World. Occupancy across our retail portfolio was maintained at 98.8%.
· Further growth in London office rental values with ERVs up 1.4%; lettings establish higher rental levels. This brings the increase for the 12 months to date to 9.6% reflecting strong occupier demand coupled with limited availability of modern prime space in central London locations. During the quarter, lettings were agreed at an average of 7.7% ahead of ERV which continued to establish higher benchmark rents. Overall occupancy in the office portfolio increased to 97.1%.
Investment Highlights
· Significant increase in investment activity: £1.9 billion of developments and acquisitions year to date. As expected, investment activity has increased in recent months. We are seeing a greater number of attractive opportunities coming on to the market, particularly good secondary property and assets which require combinations of development, re-financing and restructuring. Following major development commitments earlier in the year, key deals since the beginning of the quarter totalling £330 million (£400 million YTD) have included:
- £240 million purchase of Drake Circus Shopping Centre in Plymouth, a net initial yield of 6%. It is the dominant shopping location for Devon and Cornwall with further asset management potential;
- £59 million commitment to purchase and re-develop an 86,000 sq ft building on the site of Marble Arch House, just North of Oxford St and within the Portman Village;
- Agreement to purchase a 20 acre retail development site in Luton;
- £30 million agreement (announced today) to purchase Green Lanes Shopping Centre in Barnstaple, a locally dominant retail destination, representing a net initial yield of over 8%;
- Sale of a Sainsbury's superstore at Macclesfield for £36 million representing a net initial yield of 4.4%.
· Development programme on schedule with construction underway at three of our six major sites. Our developments at Leadenhall Street and Regent's Place are already generating strong interest from a broad range of occupiers from across the insurance, financial, professional and corporate business sectors. Key milestones since the beginning of the quarter included:
- Completion of our joint venture agreement with Oxford Properties to develop the 610,000 sq ft Leadenhall Building. Piling and basement works started in early January and we are on schedule to start construction mid-year;
- Completion of demolition works at NEQ, Regent's Place, with piling and basement works commenced on site and completion on track for Q2 2013;
- Securing vacant possession, placing the building contract and starting on site at our 158,000 sq ft office-led development on Baker Street;
- Submitting the planning application for the 700,000 sq ft building for UBS at Broadgate. The planning process is well advanced and we expect to start on site later this year;
- Receipt of detailed planning consent for the major refurbishment of 199 Bishopsgate.
Financing
· Balance sheet strength to fund significant investment programme. We remain in a strong position to take advantage of the increase in investment opportunities while at the same time pursuing our development programme. Our loan to value ratio remains comfortable at 23% on a group basis and 45% including our share of debt in joint ventures and funds. The strength and quality of our properties and their rental income continue to underpin our ability to finance our expansion on competitive terms. In the quarter, we refinanced a maturing £185 million debt facility for a joint venture with Tesco on a seven year term at a finance rate lower than the maturing facility.
Outlook
Looking forward, the pace of the recovery in the UK economy seems likely to be muted with uncertainty around the near-term impact of the government's austerity programme and continued pressure on the consumer. However, we have focused our business on those sectors of the property market where we believe the underlying demand dynamics - high quality retail and central London offices - are expected to remain positive.
As anticipated, we are starting to see property coming to market at more realistic prices than was the case for most of calendar year 2010. We have made a number of attractive investments in the quarter with further deals under review and we remain confident that British Land is well placed to take advantage of these opportunities.

4 includes committed and prospective developments: total value £272 million (2.9% of portfolio), 11.9% increase for the
3 months (9 months: +15.5%)
The main contributors to the valuation increase were:
· Letting activity in both retail and offices;
· A 11.9% uplift in development property valuations driven by the growth in ERVs in the committed development pipeline and our joint venture agreement with Oxford Properties to develop the Leadenhall Building;
· Yield compression in shopping centres, notably Meadowhall, reflecting both recent market investment activity and on-going asset management initiatives.
The portfolio capital return (as measured by IPD) for the third quarter was 2.4%, contributing to a capital return of 5.1% for the 9 months to 31 December 2010. This compared to the IPD Benchmark capital return of 1.4% and 4.0% for the same periods.
ERV growth for the total portfolio was up 0.5% in the third quarter, ahead of the IPD Benchmark which was up 0.1%. As a result, rental values across the portfolio have risen 1.8% since 31 March 2010, compared with the IPD Benchmark of -0.1% over the same period. In retail, there was further evidence of improving trends in rental values across our prime portfolio with ERV growth of 0.4% in the quarter. ERV growth in offices up 1.4% continued to outperform driven by recent lettings which have benefited from the cyclical recovery in central London now well underway.

RETAIL
Asset Management
Within the existing portfolio, we agreed new lettings and lease renewals covering nearly 170,000 sq ft with an average lease length of 9 years to first break at an average of 7.3% ahead of ERV. Of these, 70% were long-term deals. Across the retail portfolio, letting activity included:
· Meadowhall, where we agreed 15 long-term lettings including Sugacane, Fashion Rocks, Hugh Rice, Café Rouge, and Thomas Sabo. Occupier demand for the proposed refurbishment of the Oasis Food Court has been strong;
· Parkgate Rotherham, new leases were signed for a 30,000 sq ft Currys/PC World store and a 20,000 sq ft Asda Living store;
· Bon Accord in Aberdeen, lettings included: the Disney Store, Modelzone, and Bravissimo.
Rent reviews totalling 734,000 sq ft were settled in the quarter capturing an increase in rental income of 12.8%. The superstore portfolio accounted for more than 70% of the uplift with rent reviews settled at 13.5% above the previous passing rent.
Investment Activity
Investment activity has increased since the beginning of the quarter with key deals including:
· The acquisition of Drake Circus Shopping Centre in Plymouth, for £240 million reflecting a net initial yield of 6.0% with significant potential for income growth through asset management initiatives. The 570,000 sq ft centre, which was opened in 2006, comprises 70 units in modern retail formats and is anchored by Primark, Marks & Spencer and Next with other key occupiers including established retailers such as Top Shop, New Look, Boots and H&M as well as newer fast growing retail brands such as Cult/Superdry and Republic. Located in the middle of Plymouth, it is the West Country's most popular shopping destination with an extensive catchment covering both Devon and Cornwall, and an annual footfall of nearly 19 million people;
· Agreement to purchase a majority share in Power Court, a 20 acre development site close to Luton town centre;
· Agreement to acquire Green Lanes Shopping Centre in Barnstaple, north Devon, (announced today) for £30 million, representing a net initial yield of over 8%. Green Lanes is one of north Devon's principal shopping locations, providing 131,000 sq ft of retail space and attracting nearly 5.5 million visitors to the scheme each year. It is virtually fully let (99% occupancy) and has 42 retail units. The centre is anchored by Bhs and Wilkinson with other key tenants including Top Shop/Top Man, Peacocks, New Look, Mothercare, Monsoon, M&Co and La Senza. Zone A rents range from £50 to £80 per square foot;
· The sale of a Sainsbury's superstore in Macclesfield for £36 million, representing a net initial yield of 4.4%. The store, which was acquired by British Land in January last year for £32 million, is leased to Sainsbury's for 28.5 years with annual RPI linked increases (subject to a range of 2-4% per annum).
Development
During the quarter, we continued to progress a number of retail development plans.
Plans are well under way to create a new 45,000 sq ft leisure destination at the Glasgow Fort Shopping Park and we are now close to concluding negotiations with a major cinema operator. In addition, discussions are at an advanced stage with a number of leading restaurant brands.
In spring 2011, we expect to accelerate development at Puerto Venecia, Zaragoza, alongside our connected retail park.

Asset Management
With the portfolio now over 97% let, the focus during the quarter was on setting benchmark rents in our remaining space with lettings during the quarter agreed at an average of 7.7% ahead of ERV. At The Broadgate Tower, the Brazilian bank, Banco Itau, took 12,300 sq ft for a term of 10.5 years at a headline rent of £52.50 psf, 11.1% ahead of ERV, contributing to a 4.7% increase in ERV for the whole Tower in Q3.
At 39 Victoria Street, we accepted a surrender of the Bank of America lease in return for a premium payment. We are working up our extension and refurbishment options in anticipation of obtaining vacant possession in mid-2012. We also extended our lease with the Royal Bank of Scotland at 199 Bishopsgate and will secure vacant possession in March 2011 ready for a comprehensive refurbishment. Planning consent has now been received.
Development
We continued to make progress on the £1.5 billion central London office development programme (British Land's share £1.0 billion), and further added to this pipeline with the agreement to purchase and re-develop Marble Arch House in the West End. The programme now comprises 2.2 million sq ft of prime City and West End accommodation to be delivered between 2012 and 2014, and continues to represent the largest commitment to office development in central London at a time when demand/supply imbalances are expected to generate strong growth in rental values.

Gross rental income increased 1.5% to £136 million as income from lettings, rent reviews, and acquisitions throughout the last 12 months offset the effect of disposals made during 2009. Property outgoings decreased by £2 million as a consequence of the increase in the portfolio's occupancy rate. As a result, net rental income increased by £4 million (or 3.1%) to £132 million for the third quarter of 2010.
On a like-for-like basis, annualised gross rental income at 31 December 2010 was 1.4% higher than as at 31 March 2010. Retail increased by 1.5% while offices grew by 0.9% on a like-for-like basis.
Net financing costs in the quarter included interest capitalised on developments of £1 million (9 months to 31 December 2010: £3 million). For the full year ended 31 March 2011 interest capitalised on developments is expected to be around £4 million.
Underlying profit before tax for the 9 months ended 31 December 2010 was £191 million compared with £187 million for the previous year which included the release of £16 million of credit risk provisions. Excluding this item, underlying profit increased by 11.7%.
Underlying earnings per share for the third quarter were 7.0 pence (third quarter 2009: 6.6 pence), giving 21.2 pence for the 9 months to 31 December 2010 (9 months ended 31 December 2009: 21.3 pence).
Balance Sheet
EPRA net asset value per share at 31 December 2010 was 548 pence representing an increase of 8.7% since 31 March 2010 and 4.4% since 30 September 2010. This contributed to a total return of 12.6% for the 9 months ended 31 December 2010.

1 EPRA net assets (which exclude the mark to market on effective cash flow hedges and related debt adjustments, as well as
deferred taxation on revaluations) at 31 December 2010 was £4.9 billion, compared with £4.4 billion at 31 March 2010
Property and other investments at the end of the third quarter were £9.3 billion, up from £8.7 billion in March largely due to a net valuation movement (including profits and losses on disposals) of £418 million recognised in the 9 months ended 31 December 2010 and purchases, principally Drake Circus. Net debt at 31 December 2010 was £4.4 billion (31 March 2010: £4.2 billion). During the quarter, net debt increased by £181 million.

During the quarter, BLT Properties Limited, a joint venture between British Land and Tesco, completed the refinancing of its portfolio of 8 superstores and one retail park and agreed to extend the joint venture for a further 10 years. The new £185 million 7 year loan facility provided by BayernLB, London branch, was used to repay BLT's existing bank loan.
The loan to value (LTV) ratio was unchanged at 45% (including the Group's share of funds and joint ventures) compared with the previous quarter but down from 47% at 31 March 2010. Interest cover for the 9 months to 31 December 2010 has increased from 2.0 times to 2.2 times, compared with the prior year period due to the formation of the Broadgate Joint Venture in 2009.
The Group LTV ratio was 23% (31 March 2010: 25%) and interest cover for the 9 months to 31 December 2010 was 2.9 times (9 months to 31 December 2009: 2.2 times). The Group average debt maturity was 11.5 years. The Group also retains £2.6 billion of committed undrawn facilities, of which £0.9 billion have a maturity of more than 3 years, and £255 million of cash, short-term deposits and liquid investments.
Cash Flow
Net cash inflow from operating activities for the quarter was £69 million including receipts from funds and joint ventures of £23 million.
Investing activity absorbed a net £247 million, of which £262 million was spent on income earning investments and £17 million on development expenditure partially offset by disposals. Acquisitions included the purchase of Drake Circus for £240 million. Development expenditure has reduced compared to the equivalent period in the prior year due to the completion of 10 and 20 Triton Square and Ropemaker in 2009.
As at 31 December 2010, the portfolio benefited from an annual £62 million of contracted growth to come in cash rents from the expiry of rent free periods and from guaranteed fixed and minimum rental uplifts over the next five years.
Dividends
The 2011 second quarter dividend of 6.5 pence per share, totalling £58 million, is payable on 18 February 2011.
The third quarter dividend of 6.5 pence per share, totalling £58 million, is payable on 13 May 2011 to shareholders on the register at close of business on 1 April 2011.
Having regard to share price volatility the Board will announce the availability of the Scrip Alternative via the Regulatory News Service and on the group's website (www.britishland.com), no later than 48 hours before the ex-dividend date of 30 March 2011. The Board expects to announce the split between PID and non-PID income at that time. The Scrip Alternative will not be enhanced.

In respect of the 2011 second quarter PID dividend of 6.5 pence per share, totalling £58m payable on 18 February 2011, 11% of shareholders opted for the Scrip Dividend Alternative. PID dividends are paid, as required by REIT legislation, after deduction of withholding tax at the basic rate (currently 20%), where appropriate. Certain classes of shareholders may be able to claim to receive dividends gross. Please refer to our website (www.britishland.com) for details. The total cash paid by the Group will be £53m, being £44m paid to shareholders and £9m of witholding tax. A cash saving of £5m results from settling the balance by issuing of shares. |

INDEPENDENT REVIEW REPORT TO THE BRITISH LAND COMPANY PLC |
|
|
|
We have been engaged by the company to review the condensed set of financial statements in the financial report for the nine months ended 31 December 2010 which comprises the Consolidated Income Statement, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, the Consolidated Balance Sheet, the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, the Consolidated Statement of Cash flows and the related notes 1 to 12. We have read the other information contained in the financial report for the nine month period and considered whether it contains any apparent misstatements or material inconsistencies with the information in the condensed set of financial statements. |
|
|
|
This report is made solely to the company in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board. Our work has been undertaken so that we might state to the company those matters we are required to state to them in an independent review report and for no other purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by law, we do not accept or assume responsibility to anyone other than the company, for our review work, for this report, or for the conclusions we have formed. |
|
|
|
Directors' responsibilities |
|
|
|
The financial report for the nine month period is the responsibility of, and has been approved by, the directors. The directors are responsible for preparing the financial report for the nine month period in accordance with the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority. |
|
|
|
As disclosed in note 12, the annual financial statements of the group are prepared in accordance with IFRSs as adopted by the European Union. The condensed set of financial statements included in this financial report for the nine month period has been prepared in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting," as adopted by the European Union. |
|
|
|
Our responsibility |
|
|
|
Our responsibility is to express to the Company a conclusion on the condensed set of financial statements in the financial report for the nine month period based on our review. |
|
|
|
Scope of Review |
|
|
|
We conducted our review in accordance with International Standard on Review Engagements (UK and Ireland) 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity" issued by the Auditing Practices Board for use in the United Kingdom. A review of financial information for the nine month period consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with International Standards on Auditing (UK and Ireland) and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion. |
|
|
|
Conclusion |
|
|
|
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the condensed set of financial statements in the financial report for the nine months ended 31 December 2010 is not prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with International Accounting Standard 34 as adopted by the European Union and the Disclosure and Transparency Rules of the United Kingdom's Financial Services Authority. |
