Future Growth

We believe that the quality and scale of our portfolio, our ability to develop our land bank and redevelopment sites, our strategic capital business, the depth of our customer relationships and the strength of our balance sheet are differentiators that allow us to drive growth in revenues, NOI, earnings, FFO and cash flows.

(1)

Net effective rent ("NER") is calculated at the beginning of the lease using estimated total cash base rent to be received over the term and annualized and excludes fair value lease amortization from acquisitions. Amounts derived in a currency other than the U.S. dollar have been translated using the average rate from the previous twelve months.

Rent change represents the percentage change in net effective rental rates (average rate over the lease term), on new and renewed leases, commenced during the period compared with previous net effective rental rates in that same space.

Rent Growth. We have experienced positive rent growth every quarter since 2013. 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. We estimate that our share of the lease mark-to-market is approximately 30% (on an NER basis), which represents the amount by which current market rents exceed our in-place rents based on our share of the O&M portfolio at December 31, 2024. This lease mark-to-market has remained meaningfully positive despite recent quarters of lower or even negative market rental growth due to the compounded nature of market rent growth. Therefore, even without further market rent growth, we would expect our lease renewals to result in higher future rental income.

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 enabled us to create value by converting income-producing assets acquired for redevelopment into industrial properties, known as Covered Land Plays ("CLPs"), as well as converting existing industrial properties into higher uses, such as 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 $36.9 billion ($41.5 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 capture 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 or contribution 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 December 31, 2024, the gross book value of the operating portfolio held by our nine unconsolidated co-investment ventures was $56.3 billion across 548 million square feet.

G&A Expenses is a line item in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Adjusted G&A expenses is calculated from our

Consolidated Financial Statements as G&A Expenses and Strategic Capital Expenses, less expenses under the Prologis Promote Plan (“PPP”) and property-level management expenses for the properties owned by the ventures.

Balance Sheet Strength. We have a long-held strategy to build and maintain a strong and flexible balance sheet by using conservative levels of financial leverage. At December 31, 2024, the weighted average remaining maturity of our consolidated debt was 9 years and the weighted average interest rate was 3.1%. At December 31, 2024, we had total available liquidity of $7.4 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.

Our Scale Drives Efficiency. We have scalable systems and infrastructure in place to grow both our consolidated and O&M portfolios with limited incremental G&A expense. We use adjusted G&A expenses as a percentage of the O&M portfolio (based on gross book value) to measure and evaluate the overhead costs associated with the O&M portfolio. We believe we can continue to grow NOI and strategic capital revenues organically and through accretive development and acquisition activity while further reducing G&A as a percentage of our investments in real estate.

Staying “Ahead of What’s Next™”. We are focused on creating value beyond real estate by enhancing our customers’ experience, leveraging our scale in procurement and innovating through data analytics and digitization efforts. This includes investments in early and growth-stage companies that are focused on emerging technologies for the logistics sector through Prologis Ventures, our corporate venture capital group. Our Prologis Essentials platform provides our customers with solutions through services and products that address their operations and energy and sustainability needs, simplify their decision-making and support them in achieving their environmental goals.

Competition

Real estate ownership is highly fragmented, and we face competition from many owners and operators. Competitively priced logistics space could impact our occupancy rates and have an adverse effect on how much rent we can charge, which in turn could affect our operating results. We face competition regarding our capital deployment activities, including regional, national and global operators and developers. We also face competition from investment managers for institutional capital within our strategic capital business.

Despite the competition, our global reach and local market knowledge over the years have given us distinct competitive advantages, including the following:

a portfolio of properties strategically located in markets characterized by large population densities, growing consumption and high barriers to entry, typically near large labor pools and extensive transportation infrastructure, including our Last Touch® facilities;

the ability to leverage the organizational scale and structure of our 1.3 billion square foot O&M portfolio to provide a single point of contact for our multi-market customers to address their needs through our in-house global Customer Led Solutions Team;

services and solutions offered through Prologis Essentials to assist our customers with their operations and energy and sustainability needs and at the same time enhancing the value of our real estate;

a strategically located, global land bank and redevelopment sites that have the potential to support the development of $41.5 billion of TEI of new logistics space on an O&M basis, including build-to-suit development and redevelopment as industrial properties or data centers;

capabilities to convert properties to data centers in key markets, with total TEI of $0.9 billion on an O&M basis currently under development;

local teams with the expertise, experience and relationships to lease our properties and deploy capital advantageously, supported by our in-house government and community affairs and entitlement teams;

development of logistics facilities with sustainable design features that meet customer needs for efficient, high-quality buildings while enabling them to make progress on their own sustainability goals;

relationships and successful track record with current and prospective investors in our strategic capital business that is comprised of 95% open-ended ventures, long-term ventures and two publicly traded vehicles;

a market intelligence team that allows us to track business conditions in real time, proactively pursue market opportunities and disruptions alike, and develop revenue-generating capabilities;

an investment in technology and talent to support our sustainability objectives, including expanding our efforts around renewable energy;

an internal venture capital group, Prologis Ventures, through which we invest in growth stage companies focused on innovating across the logistics sector; and

a strong balance sheet and credit ratings, coupled with significant liquidity, borrowing capacity and long-term fixed debt with low rates.
