Rental Operations. Rental operations comprise the largest component of our operating segments and generally contributes 90% to 95% of our consolidated revenues, earnings and FFO. We collect rent from our customers through operating leases, including reimbursements for the majority of our property operating costs. For leases that commenced during the six months ended June 30, 2024, within the consolidated operating portfolio, the weighted average lease term was 57 months. We expect to generate earnings growth by increasing rents, maintaining high occupancy rates and controlling expenses. The primary driver of our revenue growth will be the rolling of in-place leases to current market rents when leases expire, as discussed further below. We believe our active portfolio management, combined with the skills of our property, leasing, maintenance, energy, sustainability and risk management teams allow us to maximize NOI across our portfolio. Substantially all of our consolidated rental revenue, NOI and cash flows from rental operations are generated in the U.S.

This segment produces durable, long-term cash flows and generally contributes 5% to 10% of our consolidated revenues, earnings and FFO, excluding promotes, all while requiring minimal capital other than our investment in the venture. We generate strategic capital revenue from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, principally through asset management and property management services. Revenue earned from asset management fees is primarily driven by the quarterly valuation of the real estate properties owned by the respective ventures. We earn additional revenues by providing leasing, acquisition, construction management, development and disposition services. In certain ventures, we also have the ability to earn revenues through incentive fees (“promotes” or “promote revenues”) periodically during the life of a venture, upon liquidation of a venture or upon stabilization of individual venture assets based primarily on the total return of the investments over certain financial hurdles. Promote revenues are recognized when earned at the end

We plan to grow this business and increase revenues by increasing our assets under management in existing or new ventures. The majority of the strategic capital revenues are generated outside the U.S.
Previous wording
Rent Growth. As a result of several years of increases in market rents, our in-place leases have considerable upside potential to capture these higher rents and to drive future organic NOI growth. This is evident in the positive rent change we have experienced in every quarter since 2013 and was significant to our operating results over the last several years. We estimate that our share of the lease mark-to-market is approximately 42% (on an NER basis), which represents the growth rate from in-place rents to current market rents based on our share of the O&M portfolio at June 30, 2024. Therefore, even if there was no additional market rent growth in the future, we expect our lease renewals to translate into significant increases in future rental income.

This is evident in the positive rent change we have experienced in every quarter since 2013 and was significant to our operating results over the last several years.

Therefore, even without further market rent growth, we expect our lease renewals to result in higher future rental income.
Previous wording
Value Creation from Development. The global nature of our development program provides a wide landscape of opportunities to pursue based on our judgment of market conditions, opportunities and risks. One of the ways in which we create value is through our focus on sourcing well-located land and redevelopment sites through acquisition opportunities. This strategy has allowed us to create opportunities for the conversion of income-producing assets, acquired with the intention for redevelopment, into industrial properties (Covered Land Plays or "CLPs") and data centers. Based on our current estimates, our consolidated land and other real estate investments, including options and CLPs, have the potential to support the development of $35.1 billion ($39.6 billion on an O&M basis) of TEI of newly developed buildings. We measure the estimated value creation of a development project as the stabilized value above our TEI. As properties are completed and leased, we expect to realize the value creation principally through gains realized through contributions of these properties to unconsolidated co-investment ventures and increases in the NOI of the consolidated portfolio.

As properties are completed and leased, we expect to realize the value creation principally through gains realized through contributions of these properties to unconsolidated co-investment ventures and increases in the NOI of the consolidated portfolio.

Strategic Capital Advantages. The co-investment ventures provide capital from third parties that allows us to grow our O&M portfolio, contribute to self-funding our development activities through the sale of newly developed assets to these vehicles and produce substantial fees for our management of the assets. We raise capital to support the long-term growth of the co-investment ventures while maintaining our own substantial investments in these vehicles. At June 30, 2024, the gross book value of the operating portfolio held by our nine unconsolidated co-investment ventures was $52.3 billion across 511 million square feet.

Balance Sheet Strength. We have a long-held strategy to build and maintain a balance sheet that is strong and flexible by using conservative levels of financial leverage. At June 30, 2024, the weighted average remaining maturity of our consolidated debt was 10 years and the weighted average interest rate was 3.1%. Through our refinancing activities we have substantially addressed our debt maturities until 2026. At June 30, 2024, we had total available liquidity of $6.4 billion. We continue to maintain low leverage as a percentage of our real estate investments and our market capitalization. As a result of our low leverage, available liquidity and investment capacity in the co-investment ventures, we have significant ability to capitalize on opportunistic value-added investments as they arise.

Previous wording
Our operating results were strong during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Due to increases in market rents over the last several years, our existing lease mark-to-market drove rent change on rollover and same-store growth in our O&M portfolio. Our O&M operating portfolio occupancy was 96.4% at June 30, 2024 and rent change on leases that commenced during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was 70.6%, on a net effective basis based on our ownership share.
Current wording
Our operating results were strong during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 despite the softening of rents and occupancy in the market. Due to increases in market rents over the last several years, our existing lease mark-to-market drove rent change on rollover and same-store growth in our O&M portfolio. Our operating portfolio occupancy was 96.2% at September 30, 2024 and rent change on leases that commenced during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 was 69.5% on a net effective basis, both metrics based on our ownership share.
Previous wording
While our proprietary metrics around property tours and proposals are positive, we expect our customers to exercise caution in their leasing decisions through the remainder of 2024 due to uncertainty in the economic and geopolitical environment. Despite the current environment, we believe we are well positioned to organically grow revenues over the long-term given the cumulative growth in market rents over the last several years and our existing high lease mark-to-market.

While our proprietary metrics around lease proposals are positive, we expect our customers to exercise caution in their leasing decisions through the remainder of 2024 due to uncertainty in the economic and geopolitical environment.

Despite the current environment, we believe we are well positioned to organically grow revenues over the long-term given the cumulative growth in market rents over the last several years and our existing high lease mark-to-market.

The key driver of changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI/L”) in the Consolidated Financial Statements during the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, was the currency translation adjustment derived from changes in exchange rates during both periods principally on our net investments in real estate outside the U.S. and the borrowings we issue in the functional currencies of the countries where we invest. These borrowings serve as a natural hedge of our foreign investments. In addition, we use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our foreign investments and interest rate contracts to manage interest rate risk, that when designated the change in fair value is included in AOCI/L.

Value Creation from Development. The global nature of our development program provides a wide landscape of opportunities to pursue based on our judgment of market conditions, opportunities and risks. One of the ways in which we create value is through our focus on sourcing well-located land and redevelopment sites through acquisition opportunities. This strategy has allowed us to create opportunities for the conversion of income-producing assets, acquired with the intention for redevelopment, into industrial properties (Covered Land Plays or "CLPs") and data centers.
