Current report
The use of artificial intelligence presents risks and challenges that may adversely impact our business and operating results or that of our tenants.
Current report
We may adopt and integrate generative artificial intelligence and machine learning (collectively, “AI”) tools into our operations to enhance efficiencies and streamline existing systems. However, the development and maintenance of AI tools may entail substantial risks. While these tools hold promise in optimizing processes and driving efficiencies, as with many technological innovations, they also pose inherent risks. These include, but are not limited to, the potential for inaccuracy, bias, intellectual property infringement, or misappropriation, as well as concerns regarding data privacy and cyber security.
Current report
Certain provisions of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”), may delay or prevent a change of control, including, among other provisions, the following:
Current report
Trade policies, tariffs and related government actions may cause a decline in economic activity and disrupt supply chains, which could have a material adverse impact on our business.
Current report
The U.S. government has continued to evaluate and effectuate changes to international trade policy and in some cases to renegotiate, or potentially terminate, certain existing bilateral or multi-lateral trade agreements and treaties with foreign countries, and has made proposals and taken actions related thereto. During 2025, new tariffs were imposed in the United States for imports from a broad range of countries and on certain materials. Several countries also implemented or proposed retaliatory tariffs on imports from the United States and introduced additional trade barriers. Tariffs on imported goods imposed by the United States or by foreign countries could further increase costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of products and services offered by our current and future tenants and adversely affect the revenues and profitability of our tenants whose businesses rely on goods imported from such impacted jurisdictions or exported to foreign countries.
Current report
In addition, there is uncertainty as to further actions that may be taken by the United States and by foreign countries with respect to trade policy and tariffs. Further governmental actions related to the imposition of tariffs or other trade barriers or changes to international trade agreements or policies could further increase costs, decrease margins, reduce the competitiveness of products and services offered by our current and future tenants and adversely affect the revenues and profitability of companies whose businesses rely on goods imported from outside of the United States or exported to foreign countries. Any of these impacts could depress economic activity, including consumption, and have a material adverse effect on the businesses of our current and future tenants as well as on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

The extent to which any future pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of any highly infectious disease, impacts our operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted accurately, including the scope, severity and duration of such pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Any future pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of any highly infectious disease may materially and adversely affect our businesses, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and may also have the effect of heightening many of the risks described below and within this “Risk Factors” section, including:

Previous wording
In addition to general regional, national and international economic conditions that may materially adversely affect our business and financial results, our operating performance may be materially adversely impacted by adverse economic conditions in the specific markets in which we operate and particularly in the markets in which we have significant concentrations of properties. For example, as of December 31, 2024, approximately 19.9% of our rentable square feet and approximately 41.4% of our improved land parcels were located in New York City/Northern New Jersey, representing a combined percentage of approximately 27.9% of our total annualized base rent. See “Item 2 - Properties” in this Annual Report on Form 10-K for additional information regarding our ownership of properties in our markets. Any downturn in the economy in the real estate market or any of the markets in which we own properties and any failure to accurately predict the timing of any economic improvement in these markets could cause our operations and our revenue and cash available for distribution to our stockholders to be materially adversely affected.

Previous wording
In general, we prefer to utilize local third-party managers for day-to-day property management, although we may directly manage other properties in the future. To the extent we utilize third-party managers, our cash flows from our industrial properties may be adversely affected if our managers fail to provide quality services. In addition, our managers or their affiliates may manage, and in some cases may own, invest in or provide credit support or operating guarantees to industrial properties that compete with our industrial properties, which may result in conflicts of interest and decisions regarding the operation of our industrial properties that are not in our best interests.

Our IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our tenants. We face risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber-attacks or intrusions, malware, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, people with access or who gain access to our systems and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through cyber-attack or cyber intrusion, including by computer hackers, foreign governments and cyber terrorists, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks and intrusions from around the world have increased, which, in turn, may lead to increased costs to protect our network and systems. Additionally, third-party security events at our vendors or other service providers could impact our data and operations via unauthorized access to, or loss or other compromise of information or disruption of services. Although we make efforts to maintain the security and integrity of our IT networks and related systems, and we have implemented various measures to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption, including but not limited to password protection, ongoing training modules throughout the year, frequent backups and a redundant data system, there can be no assurance that our security efforts and measures will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. A security breach or other significant disruption involving our IT networks and related systems could significantly disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems and, as a result, disrupt our operations, which could have a material adverse effect on our cash flow, financial condition and results of operations.

Recent developments in the cyber threat landscape include the use of AI, as well as an increased number of cyber extortion and ransomware attacks, with the potential for higher financial ransom demand amounts and increasing sophistication and variety of ransomware techniques and methodologies. Further, any adoption of AI by us or by third parties may pose new security challenges.

Our business strategy contemplates the use of both non-recourse secured debt and unsecured debt to finance long-term growth. As of December 31, 2024, we had total debt, net of deferred financing costs and unamortized fair value adjustment, of approximately $823.4 million, which consisted of revolving credit facility borrowings, term loan borrowings, senior unsecured note borrowings and a mortgage loan payable. While over the long term we intend to limit the sum of the outstanding principal amount of our consolidated indebtedness and the liquidation preference of any outstanding shares of preferred stock to less than 35% of our total enterprise value, our governing documents contain no limitations on the amount of debt that we may incur, and our board of directors may change our financing policy at any time without stockholder approval. We also intend to maintain a fixed charge coverage ratio in excess of 2.0x and a net debt-to-adjusted EBITDA ratio below 5.0x and limit the principal amount of our outstanding floating rate debt to less than 20% of our total consolidated indebtedness but our board of directors may modify or eliminate these limitations at any time without the approval of our stockholders. As a result, we may be able to incur substantial additional debt, including secured debt, in the future. Our existing debt, and the incurrence of additional debt, could subject us to many risks, including the risks that:

Our business strategy contemplates the use of both non-recourse secured debt and unsecured debt to finance long-term growth. As of December 31, 2025, we had total debt, net of deferred financing costs and unamortized fair value adjustment, of approximately $943.3 million, which consisted of revolving credit facility borrowings, term loan borrowings, senior unsecured note borrowings and a mortgage loan payable. While over the long term we intend to limit the sum of the outstanding principal amount of our consolidated indebtedness and the liquidation preference of any outstanding shares of preferred stock to less than 30% of our total enterprise value, our governing documents contain no limitations on the amount of debt that we may incur, and our board of directors may change our financing policy at any time without stockholder approval.

Previous wording
Certain of our debt, such as our term loans, senior unsecured notes and mortgage loan, require that the principal be repaid at the maturity of the loan in a “balloon payment.” As of December 31, 2024, the financing arrangements of our outstanding indebtedness could require us to make lump-sum or “balloon” payments of approximately $829.9 million at maturity dates that range from 2026 to 2031. If we do not have sufficient funds to repay existing or future debt at maturity, including debt under our credit facility, term loans and senior unsecured notes, it may be necessary to refinance the debt through additional debt or raise additional funds through equity financings. If the credit environment is constrained at the time of any refinancing, we could have a very difficult time refinancing debt on acceptable terms, or at all. For example, if prevailing interest rates or other factors result in higher interest rates on refinancings, the increase in interest expense would adversely affect our cash flows, and, consequently, cash available for distribution to our stockholders. If we are unable to refinance our debt on acceptable terms, we may be forced to choose from a number of unfavorable options, including agreeing to otherwise unfavorable financing terms on new debt or disposing of one or more of our industrial properties on disadvantageous terms, potentially resulting in losses. We may also place mortgages on our properties that we own to secure a revolving credit facility or other debt. To the extent we cannot meet any future debt service obligations, we will risk losing some or all of our industrial properties that may be pledged to secure our obligations to foreclosure.
Current wording
Certain of our debt, such as our term loans, senior unsecured notes and mortgage loan, require that the principal be repaid at the maturity of the loan, rather than amortized via principal payments over the term of the loan. As of December 31, 2025, the financing arrangements of our outstanding indebtedness could require us to make lump-sum payments of approximately $947.9 million at maturity dates that range from 2026 to 2031. If we do not have sufficient funds to repay existing or future debt at maturity, including debt under our credit facility, term loans and senior unsecured notes, it may be necessary to refinance the debt through additional debt or raise additional funds through equity financings.

We have a credit facility, which consists of a $100.0 million term loan that matures in January 2027, a $100.0 million term loan that matures in January 2028 and a revolving credit facility with $600.0 million in borrowing capacity that matures in January 2029. As of December 31, 2024, the revolving credit facility had an outstanding balance of approximately $82.0 million. We also have $475.0 million of senior unsecured notes outstanding as well as an outstanding mortgage loan with a total contractual principal amount of approximately $72.9 million. We have agreed to guarantee the obligations of the borrower (a wholly-owned subsidiary) under our revolving credit facility, our term loans and our senior unsecured notes. Our revolving credit facility, our term loans and our senior unsecured notes contain, and we expect that our agreements for future indebtedness will contain, financial and operating covenants, such as fixed charge coverage and debt ratios and other limitations that will limit or restrict our ability to make distributions or other payments to our stockholders and may restrict our investment activities. For example, our credit facility restricts distributions if we are in default. These covenants may limit our operating and financial flexibility and our ability to respond to changes in our business or competitive activities in the future and may also restrict our ability to engage in transactions that we believe would otherwise be in the best interests of our stockholders or obtain necessary funds.

In addition, throughout 2023 and 2024, we observed economic and geopolitical uncertainty in the United States and abroad. If such uncertainty continues or is heightened, it could lead to sustained periods of economic slowdown or recession, continued inflation and higher interest rates or declining demand for real estate, and the occurrence of such events or public perception that any of these events may occur, would result in a general decrease in rents or an increased occurrence of defaults under existing leases, which would materially adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations. Future terrorist attacks or wars may also result in declining economic activity, which could reduce the demand for, and the value of, our properties and adversely impact our tenants, including their ability to meet obligations under their leases. For these and other reasons, we cannot assure our stockholders that we will be profitable or that we will realize growth in the value of our properties.

Environmental laws in the U.S. also require that owners or operators of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, adequately inform or train those who may come into contact with asbestos and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, in the event that asbestos is disturbed during building renovation or demolition. These laws may impose fines and penalties on building owners or operators who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos. Some of our properties may contain asbestos-containing building materials.

Government authorities and various interest groups are promoting laws and regulations relating to climate change, including regulations aimed at limiting greenhouse gas emissions and the implementation of “green” building codes, due to concerns over contributions to climate change. In addition, laws and regulations at the federal, state and local level aimed at increasing climate-related disclosures, including the rules proposed by the SEC and the legislation recently enacted in the state of California, may increase compliance and data collection costs if, and when, such laws and regulations become effective. Further, such laws and regulations may require us to make improvements to our existing properties or result in increased capital expenditures in order to comply with such regulations, as well as increased operating costs that we may not be able to effectively pass on to our tenants. In addition, such laws and regulations could impose substantial costs on our tenants, including, for example, an increase in the cost of the fuel and other energy purchased by our tenants. Any such increased costs could impact the financial condition of our tenants and their ability to meet their lease obligations and also affect our ability to lease or re-lease our properties.

Currently, the maximum tax rate for certain qualified dividends payable to U.S. stockholders that are individuals, trusts and estates generally is 20%. Ordinary dividends payable by REITs, however, are generally not eligible for such reduced rates and therefore are taxable as ordinary income when paid to such stockholders. However, for taxable years beginning before January 1, 2026, a deduction of up to 20% (subject to certain limitations) is available on most ordinary REIT dividends and certain trade or business income of non-corporate taxpayers. Additionally, to the extent such dividends are attributable to certain dividends that we receive from a TRS, such dividends generally will be eligible for the reduced rates that apply to qualified dividend income. The more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate dividends could cause investors who are individuals, trusts and estates or are otherwise sensitive to these lower rates to perceive investments in REITs to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stock of non-REIT corporations that pay dividends, which could adversely affect the value of the stock of REITs, including our common stock.

In particular, we must ensure that at the end of each calendar quarter, at least 75% of the value of our assets consists of cash, cash items, government securities and qualified real estate assets. The remainder of our investments in securities (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) generally cannot include more than 10% of the total voting power or more than 10% of the total value, in each case, of the outstanding securities of any one issuer. In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, no more than 20% of the value of our total assets can be represented by the securities of one or more TRSs and no more than 25% of the value of our total assets can be represented by unsecured debt of publicly offered REITs, in each case, at the close of each calendar quarter. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of such quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.

In addition, in general, no more than 5% of the value of our assets (other than government securities and qualified real estate assets) can consist of the securities of any one issuer, no more than 25% of the value of our total assets can be represented by the securities of one or more TRSs and no more than 25% of the value of our total assets can be represented by unsecured debt of publicly offered REITs, in each case, at the close of each calendar quarter. If we fail to comply with these requirements at the end of any calendar quarter, we must correct the failure within 30 days after the end of such quarter or qualify for certain statutory relief provisions to avoid losing our REIT qualification and suffering adverse tax consequences. As a result, we may be required to liquidate otherwise attractive investments. These actions could have the effect of reducing our income and amounts available for distribution to our stockholders.
