FINANCIAL HIGHLIGHTS

* All per share amounts presented below are on a diluted basis.

Net income (loss) available to common shareholders for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 amounted to $(8.5) million, or $(0.10) per share, as compared to $(126.9) million, or $(1.42) per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, net income (loss) available to common shareholders equaled $102.0 million, or $1.13 per share, as compared to $(94.0) million, or $(1.05) per share, for the same period last year. Included in net income (loss) for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 was $17.1 million of a net loss from property-related transactions, and net loss from extinguishment of debt of $19.3 million, which were partially offset by $21.7 million of equity in earnings from refinancing proceeds received from a joint venture. The total net non-controlling interests for these items was $1.6 million.

Funds from operations (FFO) for the quarter ended September 30, 2016 amounted to $59.9 million, or $0.60 per share, as compared to $51.5 million, or $0.51 per share, for the quarter ended September 30, 2015. For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, FFO equaled $172.2 million, or $1.71 per share, as compared to $141.1 million, or $1.41 per share, for the same period last year.

For the third quarter 2016, Core FFO was $0.56 per share after adjusting for certain items, primarily $21.7 million from a joint venture loan refinancing, and a $19.3 million loss from extinguishment of debt. The quarter's Core FFO per share of $0.56 increased 16.7 percent from the same quarter last year primarily due to increased base rents in 2016.

OPERATING HIGHLIGHTS

Mack-Cali's consolidated commercial in-service portfolio was 87.7 percent leased at September 30, 2016, as compared to 86.7 percent leased at June 30, 2016 and 85.8 percent leased at September 30, 2015.

For the quarter ended September 30, 2016, the Company executed 62 leases at its consolidated in-service commercial portfolio totaling 664,490 square feet.

Lease transactions included 216,205 square feet in Core properties, 150,454 square feet in Waterfront properties, 241,634 square feet in Flex properties and 56,197 square feet in Non-Core properties. Lease spreads on a GAAP basis were 16.2 percent for new leases and 8.3 percent for renewed or retained leases, for an average of 9.1 percent for the quarter.

Mitchell E. Rudin, chief executive officer, commented "Mack-Cali's repositioning efforts are well underway. Interest in our properties are strong as evidenced by our occupancy gains and lease success year-to-date. We remain keenly focused on 2017 expirations and feel confident in our ability to minimize exposure to potential vacancies."

INFORMATION ABOUT FFO

Funds from operations ("FFO") is defined as net income (loss) before noncontrolling interests of unitholders, computed in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), excluding gains or losses from depreciable rental property transactions, and impairments related to depreciable rental property, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization. The Company believes that FFO per share is helpful to investors as one of several measures of the performance of an equity REIT. The Company further believes that as FFO per share excludes the effect of depreciation, gains (or losses) from sales of properties and impairments related to depreciable rental property (all of which are based on historical costs which may be of limited relevance in evaluating current performance), FFO per share can facilitate comparison of operating performance between equity REITs.

FFO per share should not be considered as an alternative to net income available to common shareholders per share as an indication of the Company's performance or to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. FFO per share presented herein is not necessarily comparable to FFO per share presented by other real estate companies due to the fact that not all real estate companies use the same definition. However, the Company's FFO per share is comparable to the FFO per share of real estate companies that use the current definition of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). A reconciliation of net income per share to FFO per share is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.

Core FFO is defined as FFO, as adjusted for certain items to facilitate comparative measurement of the Company's performance over time. Core FFO is presented solely as supplemental disclosure that the Company's management believes provides useful information to investors and analysts of its results, after adjusting for certain items to facilitate comparability of its performance from period to period. Core FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is not intended to represent cash flow and is not indicative of cash flows provided by operating activities as determined in accordance with GAAP. As there is not a generally accepted definition established for Core FFO, the Company's measures of Core FFO may not be comparable to the Core FFO reported by other REITs. A reconciliation of net income per share to Core FFO in dollars and per share is included in the financial tables accompanying this press release.
