Current report
•Disposition Strategy. We continually evaluate local market conditions and property-related factors across all of our markets to identify assets suitable for disposition. Our focus is on selling properties with lower rent growth potential or that lack optimal functionality. The capital from these sales is generally reinvested into new assets identified, consistent with our investment strategy discussed above or otherwise used in a manner consistent with our business strategy.
Current report
•We acquired two industrial properties located in our Phoenix market, totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet of GLA. These assets were purchased from our Joint Venture for an aggregate price of $120.0 million, excluding transaction costs. The purchase price is net of our economic share of gain on sale and incentive fees we earned on the sale as well as other deferred fees.

Current report
Sold Properties: Sold properties are properties that were disposed of subsequent to December 31, 2023.
Current report
General and administrative expense increased by $4.1 million, or 34.9%, primarily due to the accelerated recognition of equity compensation expense for certain employees in the first quarter of 2025, compared to full-year amortization of the expense in 2024.
Current report
Income tax provision increased by $4.7 million, or 400.4%, primarily driven by our pro-rata share of gain and incentive fees recognized from the sale of real estate by the Joint Venture during the three months ended March 31, 2025.

Financing Activities: Cash provided by financing activities was $110.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 as compared to cash used in financing activities of $38.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024, resulting in an increase of cash provided by financing activities of $148.9 million, primarily due to the following:
Current report
◦increase in financing issuance costs of $10.0 million related to the amendment and restatement of the Unsecured Credit Facility and the $200.0 million unsecured term loan in 2025.
Current report
We consider cash basis SS NOI to be a useful non-GAAP supplemental measure of our operating performance. We believe SS NOI enhances the comparability of a company's real estate portfolio to that of other real estate companies. SS NOI reflects the results of operations of properties that were owned and placed in service prior to January 1, 2024, and remained in service through the end of the reporting period.
Current report
The primary factors influencing SS NOI are occupancy levels, changes in rental rates and fluctuations in tenant recoveries. Our ability to grow SS NOI is largely dependent on our success in leasing space and recovering property operating costs from tenants under existing lease agreements.
Current report
The following table shows a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders and participating securities to cash basis SS NOI without lease termination fees for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024.

We continually seek to upgrade our overall portfolio via new investments as well as through the sale of select assets that we believe do not exhibit favorable characteristics for long-term cash flow growth. We target new investments in 15 key logistics markets, with a primary emphasis on coastal markets, where developable land is more scarce and which exhibit desirable long-term growth characteristics.

The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2023 and held as an in-service property through September 30, 2024 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2023. Properties that are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service, unless we anticipate tenant move-outs within two years of ownership would drop occupancy below 75%. Properties that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition are placed in service as they reach the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year subsequent to acquisition. Developments, redevelopments and acquired income-producing land parcels for which our ultimate intent is to redevelop or develop on the land parcel are placed in service as they reach the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year subsequent to development/redevelopment construction completion. Acquired properties with occupancy greater than 75% at acquisition, but with tenants that we anticipate will move out within two years of ownership, will be placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or twelve months after move out. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2022 and held as an operating property through September 30, 2024. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2022. Developments and redevelopments (collectively referred to as "(Re)Developments") include (re)developments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2023; or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2023. Other revenues are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, interest income, joint venture fees and other miscellaneous revenues. Other property expenses are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, vacant land expenses and other miscellaneous regional expenses.
Current wording
Same Store Properties: Same store properties include those that were owned and in service prior to January 1, 2024 and remained in service through March 31, 2025. Same store properties also includes developments and redevelopments placed in service prior to January 1, 2024. A property is considered placed in service when it meets one of the following criteria: (i) acquired properties with occupancy of at least 75% at acquisition, unless we anticipate tenant move-outs within two years of ownership would reduce occupancy below 75%; (ii) acquired properties with occupancy less than 75% at acquisition are placed in service upon reaching the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year subsequent to acquisition; (iii) developments, redevelopments and acquired income-producing land parcels for which our ultimate intent is to redevelop or develop on the land parcel are placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year after construction completion; and (iv) properties acquired with occupancy greater than 75% but with anticipated move out within two years of ownership, are placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or twelve months after tenant move out. Properties are moved from the same store category to the redevelopment classification when projected capital expenditures are estimated to exceed 25% of the property's undepreciated gross book value.

Interest expense increased by $0.9 million, or 4.7%, primarily due to a $1.6 million reduction in capitalized interest during the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023. This increase was partially offset by a lower weighted average debt balance of $2,182.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024, compared to $2,233.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and a slight decrease in the weighted average interest rate, which fell to 4.08% for the three months ended September 30, 2024 from 4.10% for the three months ended September 30, 2023.
Current wording
Interest expense decreased by $1.4 million, or 6.8%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate, which fell to 4.03% for the three months ended March 31, 2025 from 4.18% for the three months ended March 31, 2024, a $0.2 million increase in capitalized interest during the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024 and a lower weighted average debt balance of $2,250.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025 compared to $2,264.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Previous wording
Equity in income of joint venture decreased $0.9 million, or 60.8%, primarily due to an increase in our pro-rata share of depreciation, amortization and interest expense recognized by the Joint Venture following the substantial completion of three buildings totaling 1.8 million square feet of GLA during the nine months ended September 30, 2024. This decrease was partially offset by an increase in our pro-rata share of rental income from the Joint Venture. Both periods reflect the 6% interest held by our partner in the Joint Venture, which is consolidated and reported in our financial statements.
Current wording
Equity in income of joint venture increased $2.1 million, or 148.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2025. The increase primarily relates to gain on sale and incentive fees recognized in connection with the sale of two properties by the Joint Venture during the quarter. As we were the purchaser of the properties, our economic share of the gain and incentive fees was offset against the basis of the real estate acquired. The remaining portion of the gain on sale and incentive fees reflects our partner’s share, which is consolidated in our financial statements. Additionally, the increase reflects an increase in our pro-rata share of rental income from the Joint Venture, partially offset by an increase in our pro-rata share of depreciation, amortization and interest expense. These increases in expenses are attributable to the substantial completion of three buildings totaling 1.8 million square feet of GLA during the year ended December 31, 2024.

We have considered our short-term liquidity needs through September 30, 2025, as well as the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet those needs. As of September 30, 2024, our Unsecured Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $248.0 million, maturing on July 7, 2025, with two six-month extension options available. We are evaluating whether to extend the maturity by exercising the extension options or enter into a new facility. Additionally, we have a $300.0 million unsecured term loan maturing on August 12, 2025, with two one-year extension options. We are considering either extending the maturity by exercising the extension option or refinancing part or all of this term loan with new indebtedness. Apart from these payment obligations, we believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs include funding normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions, other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company's REIT qualification under the Code and distributions approved by the Company's Board of Directors. We anticipate that these will be met with cash flows provided by operating activities as well as the disposition of select assets. These needs may also be met by the issuance of other debt or equity securities or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility, subject to market conditions.

We have considered our short-term liquidity needs through March 31, 2026, and assessed the adequacy of our estimated cash flows from operations and other available sources of liquidity to meet those needs. As of March 31, 2025, we have a $300.0 million unsecured term loan maturing on August 12, 2025. We have delivered notice to the lenders to exercise the first of our two available one-year extension options, which, upon satisfaction of certain customary conditions, will extend the loan's maturity to August 2026. Beyond this maturity, we believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs include funding normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, expansions, renovations and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company's REIT status under the Code and distributions approved by the Company's Board of Directors. We anticipate meeting these liquidity needs primarily through cash flows provided by operating activities and proceeds from select asset dispositions. These needs may also be met by the issuance of other debt or equity securities or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility, subject to market conditions.
