Franklin Street Properties Corp. Announces

First Quarter 2015 Results

Wakefield, MA—April 28, 2015—Franklin Street Properties Corp. (the “Company”, “FSP”, “we” or “our”) (NYSE MKT: FSP), a real estate investment trust (REIT), announced today Funds From Operations (FFO) of $25.7 million or $0.26 per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015; and net income was $12.5 million or $0.13 per share for the first quarter ended March 31, 2015.

The Company evaluates its performance based on FFO, Net Income and EPS and believes each is an important measure. A reconciliation of Net Income to FFO, which is a non-GAAP financial measure, is provided on page 3 of this press release.

		Three Months Ended March 31,

Comparing results for the first quarter of 2015 to the same period in 2014, FFO decreased $3.1 million or $0.03 per share to $25.7 million or $0.26 per share in 2015. The FFO decrease was primarily from lower property income as a result of asset sales and loan repayments achieved in the last twelve months and from lower occupancy, which were partially offset by lower interest expense for the quarter as we used proceeds to repay debt. Interest expense was also lower as a result of lower spreads on our revolving line of credit that was amended on October 29, 2014. We achieved a $10.5 million gain on the sale of two properties in the first quarter of 2015. Net Income and EPS was $12.5 million or $0.13 per share for the first quarter of 2015 compared to a net income of $3.6 million or $0.04 per share for the first quarter of 2014.

George J. Carter, President and CEO, commented as follows:

“For the first quarter of 2015, FSP’s profits as represented by FFO totaled approximately $25.7 million or $0.26 per share. Our directly owned real estate portfolio of 36 properties totaling approximately 9.3 million square feet was 90.4% leased as of March 31, 2015. We are maintaining our full-year 2015 FFO guidance range of $1.03 to $1.08 per share.

During the first quarter of 2015 we completed the disposition of a property known as Willow Bend located in Plano, Texas for approximately $20.8 million, and a property known as Eden Bluff located in Eden Prairie, Minnesota for approximately $28.0 million. A total gain of $10.5 million was realized as a result of the sale of these properties. Willow Bend is a two-story suburban office property with approximately 117,050 square feet and is a suburban office property that had been owned by FSP or an FSP affiliate for over fifteen years. Eden Bluff is a one-story, flex, single-tenant, suburban office property with approximately 153,028 square feet that was owned by FSP for approximately five and one-half years. In December 2014, we also sold a property known as Centennial located in Colorado Springs, Colorado for approximately $15.5 million. The sale proceeds from these dispositions were not re-invested during the first quarter of 2015.

-2-

However, on April 8, 2015, we completed the acquisition of a property known as Two Ravinia in the greater Atlanta, Georgia market for $78 million, effectively fully re-investing proceeds from the Centennial, Willow Bend, and Eden Bluff dispositions.

Two Ravinia is a 17-story class “A” multi-tenant office tower with approximately 442,130 rentable square feet that is located in the Central Perimeter Submarket of Atlanta, Georgia. The newly acquired property is directly adjacent to our existing 386,603 square foot office tower known as One Ravinia, which we have owned since July of 2012. Two Ravinia is currently 80.5% leased, with in place rents that we believe average approximately 25% below today’s current market asking rates. We anticipate planned building capital investments at Two Ravinia (excluding leasing costs) of approximately $4.8 million over the next three to four years.

We continue to actively pursue further potential dispositions of other suburban office assets that we believe are no longer core to our long-term strategy of acquiring larger, multi-tenant, urban infill, CBD or town-center office properties. We believe selective acquisitions of this profile will provide shareholders with better risk/reward adjusted returns over an extended slow growth period in the U.S. business cycle. Potential target acquisition opportunities are primarily being pursued in our five core markets of Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Houston and Minneapolis. Along with our existing property portfolio’s ongoing leasing activity, we believe the results, size, timing and execution of our current capital recycling efforts will meaningfully affect value-creation and results for full year 2015 and beyond.

We remain very positive about our prospects and opportunities.”

Dividend Update

On April 10, 2015, the Company announced that its Board of Directors declared a regular quarterly dividend for the three months ended March 31, 2015 of $0.19 per share of common stock that will be paid on May 14, 2015 to stockholders of record on April 24, 2015.

FFO Guidance

Our full year FFO guidance for 2015 continues to be maintained in the range of $1.03 to $1.08 per diluted share. This guidance (a) excludes the impact of future acquisitions, dispositions, debt financings or repayments or other capital market transactions; (b) reflects estimates from our ongoing portfolio of properties, other real estate investments and G&A expenses; and (c) reflects our current expectations of economic conditions. We will update guidance quarterly in our earnings releases. There can be no assurance that the Company’s actual results will not differ materially from the estimates set forth above.

Real Estate Update

Supplementary schedules provide property information for the Company’s owned real estate portfolio and for two non-consolidated REITs in which the Company holds preferred stock interests as of March 31, 2015. The Company will also be filing an updated supplemental information package that will provide stockholders and the financial community with additional operating and financial data. The Company will file this supplemental information package with the SEC and make it available on its website at www.franklinstreetproperties.com.

Funds From Operations (FFO)

A reconciliation of Net Income to FFO is shown below and a definition of FFO is provided on Supplementary Schedule H. Management believes FFO is used broadly throughout the real estate investment trust (REIT) industry as a measurement of performance. Management also believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company has included the NAREIT FFO definition in the table and notes that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently. The Company’s computation of FFO may not be comparable to FFO reported by other REITs or real estate companies that define FFO differently.

Supplementary Schedule H

Definition of Funds From Operations (“FFO”)

The Company evaluates performance based on Funds From Operations, which we refer to as FFO, as management believes that FFO represents the most accurate measure of activity and is the basis for distributions paid to equity holders. The Company defines FFO as net income (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of property and acquisition costs of newly acquired properties that are not capitalized, plus depreciation and amortization, including amortization of acquired above and below market lease intangibles and impairment charges on properties or investments in non-consolidated REITs, and after adjustments to exclude equity in income or losses from, and, to include the proportionate share of FFO from, non-consolidated REITs.

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as an indicator of the Company’s financial performance, nor as an alternative to cash flows from operating activities (determined in accordance with GAAP), nor as a measure of the Company’s liquidity, nor is it necessarily indicative of sufficient cash flow to fund all of the Company’s needs.

Other real estate companies and NAREIT, may define this term in a different manner. We have included the NAREIT FFO definition in our table and note that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do.

We believe that in order to facilitate a clear understanding of the results of the Company, FFO should be examined in connection with net income and cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities in the consolidated financial statements.
