SL Green Realty Corp. (NYSE:SLG) reported a 1% increase in operating results for the three months ended September 30, 2003. During this period, funds from operations (FFO) before minority interests totaled $31.8 million, or $0.87 per share (diluted), compared to $30.3 million, or $0.86 per share (diluted), for the same quarter in 2002.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2003, operating results improved 6% as FFO before minority interest totaled $93.6 million, or $2.59 per share (diluted), compared to $85.6 million, or $2.45 per share (diluted), for the same period in 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to the acquisitions of 220 East 42nd Street and condominium interests in 125 Broad Street in the first quarter of 2003.

Net income available to common shareholders for the third quarter of 2003 totaled $19.4 million, or $0.59 per share (diluted), a 9% increase as compared to the same quarter in 2002 when net income totaled $17.0 million, or $0.54 per share (diluted). The increase in net income is primarily due to the $3.7 million ($0.10 per share) gain from the sale of 1370 Broadway, partially offset by increased depreciation expense from the first quarter 2003 acquisitions of 220 East 42nd Street and condominium interests in 125 Broad Street.

Net income available to common shareholders for the nine months ended September 30, 2003 totaled $68.9 million, or $2.09 per share (diluted), an increase of 35% as compared to the same period in 2002 when net income totaled $47.9 million, or $1.55 per share (diluted). The increase is primarily due to $21.3 million in gains on the sales of 50 West 23rd Street and 1370 Broadway.

The Company's third quarter weighted average diluted shares outstanding increased 1.4 million, or 4%, to 39.2 million in 2003 from 37.8 million in 2002. The increase is primarily attributable to (i) the issuance of units of limited partnership interests in the Company's operating partnership in connection with the acquisitions of 220 East 42nd Street and condominium interests in 125 Broad Street in the first quarter of 2003, (ii) employee stock grants and stock option redemptions and (iii) additional dilution from outstanding stock options.
