Portfolio Dispositions
Current report
During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold seven buildings comprised of approximately 1.1 million rentable square feet with a net book value of approximately $52.6 million to third parties. Net proceeds from the sales of rental property were approximately $75.7 million and we recognized the full gain on the sales of rental property, net, of approximately $23.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024. The gain on the sales of rental property, net, is inclusive of a loss on the sale of rental property, net, of approximately $2.0 million.
Current report
Total other expenses increased approximately $11.8 million, or 14.5%, to approximately $92.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $80.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $6.8 million due to an increase in the depreciable asset base from net acquisitions after June 30, 2023. Additionally, a loss on impairment of approximately $5.0 million was recognized during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as discussed in Note 3 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, that did not occur during the three months ended June 30, 2023.

Same Store Total Operating Revenue
Current report
Same store rental income, which is comprised of lease income and other billings as discussed below, increased by approximately $17.4 million, or 5.2%, to approximately $351.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $334.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Total same store operating expenses increased by approximately $4.2 million or 6.2% to approximately $70.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $66.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was due to increases in real estate tax, other expenses, insurance, and snow removal of approximately $2.1 million, $1.3 million, $0.6 million, and $0.4 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a reduction of utility expense of approximately $0.2 million.

Total Other Income (Expense)
Current report
Total other expense increased approximately $16.9 million, or 216.8%, to approximately $24.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $7.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily a result of a decrease in the gain on the sales of rental property, net of approximately $14.6 million. This increase was also attributable to an increase in interest expense of approximately $7.3 million which was primarily attributable to the issuance of $450.0 million of unsecured notes on May 28, 2024, as discussed in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, there was a higher average credit facility balance and an increase in one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was also attributable to an increase in debt extinguishment and modification expenses of approximately $0.7 million related to the unsecured term loan amendment during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as discussed in Note 4 of the accompany Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. These increases were partially offset by an increase in gain on involuntary conversion of approximately $5.7 million that was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as discussed in Note 3 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, that did not occur during the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Previous wording
The industrial real estate business is affected by the recent high inflationary, rising interest rate environment, disruption in the banking industry, and geopolitical tensions. These factors are key drivers of financial market volatility and raise concerns about a slowing global economy. While U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”) declined during the first two quarters of 2022, real GDP has increased for six consecutive quarters with the most recent measure showing 3.4% growth in the fourth quarter of 2023. Labor conditions are holding strong with a 3.8% unemployment rate as of March 2024. Going forward, the general consensus among economists is to expect low growth in the United States with a continued historically elevated risk of recession. While the macro-economic conditions continue to evolve and could result in tighter credit conditions, weakening tenant cash flows, and rising vacancy rates, we believe we will continue to benefit from having a well-diversified portfolio across various markets, tenant industries, and lease terms. Additionally, we believe that recent moves toward more regional supply chains and geopolitical tensions have accelerated a number of trends that positively impact U.S. industrial demand. However, given the current uncertainty and events discussed above, our acquisition activity slowed in 2022 and 2023 relative to our historical acquisition pace.

Previous wording
Our portfolio continues to have strong occupancy and benefits from geographic diversity throughout the national industrial market. Demand across the industrial market is moderating relative to recent peaks. Vacancy and availability rates, while rising, remain low by historical standards in many markets. The supply pipeline remains robust, albeit smaller and more notably concentrated in very large warehouses. Construction starts continue to decline as a result of both moderating demand and volatile capital markets. The weakening global and U.S. economic trends could be a notable headwind and may result in relatively less demand for space and higher vacancy. We believe that the diversification of our portfolio by market, tenant industry, and tenant credit will prove to be a strength in this environment.

Previous wording
Our ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases will impact our results of operations and is affected by economic and competitive conditions in our markets and by the desirability of our individual buildings. Leases that comprise approximately 8.6% of our total annualized base rental revenue will expire during the period from April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025, excluding month-to-month leases. We assume, based upon internal renewal probability estimates, that some of our tenants will renew and others will vacate and the associated space will be re-let subject to downtime assumptions. Using the aforementioned assumptions, we expect that the rental rates on the respective new leases will be greater than the rates under existing leases expiring during the period April 1, 2024 to March 31, 2025, thereby resulting in an increase in revenue from the same space.
Current wording
Our ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases will impact our results of operations and is affected by economic and competitive conditions in our markets and by the desirability of our individual buildings.

For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, the buildings acquired after January 1, 2023 contributed approximately $5.9 million and $0.2 million to NOI, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2024 and June 30, 2023, the buildings sold after January 1, 2023 contributed approximately $0.2 million and $2.8 million to NOI, respectively. Refer to Note 3 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding buildings acquired or sold.
Previous wording

Previous wording
Total other expense increased approximately $23.6 million, or 957.9%, to approximately $26.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to approximately $2.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase was primarily a result of a decrease in the gain on the sales of rental property, net of approximately $20.1 million, as there were no sales of rental property during the three months ended March 31, 2024. This increase was also attributable to an increase in interest expense of approximately $2.8 million which was primarily attributable to a higher average credit facility balance and an increase in one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) for the three months ended March 31, 2024, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. This increase was also attributable to an increase in debt extinguishment and modification expenses of approximately $0.7 million related to the unsecured term loan amendment, as discussed in Note 4 of the accompany Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Current wording
Total other income (expense) increased approximately $6.8 million, or 127.2%, to approximately $1.4 million total other income for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $5.3 million total other expense for the three months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily a result of recognizing a gain on involuntary conversion of approximately $5.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2024, as discussed in Note 3 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, that did not occur during the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was also attributable to an increase in the gain on the sales of rental property, net of approximately $5.6 million. These increases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense of approximately $4.5 million which was primarily attributable to the issuance of $450.0 million of unsecured notes on May 28, 2024, as discussed in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, there was a higher average credit facility balance and an increase in one-month Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“Term SOFR”) for the three months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Previous wording
Same store lease income increased by approximately $5.3 million, or 3.8%, to approximately $143.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to approximately $137.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due the execution of new leases and lease renewals with existing tenants of approximately $7.9 million. This increase was partially offset by the reduction of base rent of approximately $1.3 million due to tenant vacancies and a net increase in the amortization of net above market leases of approximately $0.2 million. Additionally, there was a decrease in same store lease income of approximately $1.1 million which was primarily attributable to management’s evaluation of operating leases to determine the probability of collecting substantially all of the lessee’s remaining lease payments under the lease term. For those that are not probable of collection, we convert to the cash basis of accounting. Subsequent to March 31, 2023, management determined two tenants should be converted from the accrual basis of accounting to the cash basis of accounting, which accounts for approximately $0.8 million of the decrease during the three months March 31, 2024 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023. Additionally, management converted one tenant from the cash basis of accounting back to the accrual basis of accounting during the three months ended March 31, 2023, for which approximately $0.3 million of straight-line accrued rental balance was reinstated.
Current wording
Same store lease income increased by approximately $10.9 million, or 4.0%, to approximately $284.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $273.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in rental income of approximately $16.2 million from the execution of new leases and lease renewals with existing tenants. This increase was partially offset by the reduction of base rent of approximately $3.9 million due to tenant vacancies, and a net increase in the amortization of net above market leases of approximately $0.5 million. Additionally, there was a decrease in same store lease income of approximately $0.9 million which was primarily attributable to management’s evaluation of operating leases to determine the probability of collecting substantially all of the lessee’s remaining lease payments under the lease term. For those that are not probable of collection, we convert to the cash basis of accounting. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, management determined two tenants should be converted from the accrual basis of accounting to the cash basis of accounting, which accounts for approximately $0.6 million of the decrease during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023. Additionally, management converted one tenant from the cash basis of accounting back to the accrual basis of accounting during the six months ended June 30, 2023, for which approximately $0.3 million of straight-line accrued rental balance was reinstated.
Previous wording
Same store other billings increased by approximately $4.3 million, or 13.5%, to approximately $36.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to approximately $31.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase in other billings was primarily attributable to an increase of approximately $3.9 million of expense reimbursements (excluding real estate tax reimbursements) due to an increase in the corresponding expenses and the occupancy of previously vacant buildings. Additionally, the increase was also attributable to an increase in real estate tax reimbursements of approximately $0.4 million due to changes to lease terms where we began paying the real estate taxes on behalf of tenants that had previously paid the taxes directly to the taxing authorities or the building was previously been vacant.
Current wording
Same store other billings increased by approximately $6.5 million, or 10.7%, to approximately $67.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $60.8 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was attributable to an increase of approximately $4.5 million in other expense reimbursements which was primarily due to an increase in corresponding expenses. The increase was also attributable to an increase of approximately $2.0 million of real estate tax reimbursements due to an increase in real estate taxes levied by the taxing authority for certain tenants for which we pay the real estate taxes on their behalf, changes to lease terms where we began paying the real estate taxes on behalf of tenants that had previously paid the taxes directly to the taxing authorities, and occupancy of previously vacant buildings.
Previous wording
Total other expenses increased approximately $0.3 million, or 0.4%, to approximately $84.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to approximately $84.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $2.5 million due to an increase in the depreciable asset base from net acquisitions after March 31, 2023, as well as an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $0.3 million primarily due to increases in compensation and other payroll costs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other expenses of approximately $2.4 million, which was primarily attributed to the relinquishment of an acquisition deposit of approximately $2.5 million related to the termination of an acquisition contract during the three months ended March 31, 2023 that did not recur during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Current wording
Total other expenses increased approximately $12.1 million, or 7.3%, to approximately $177.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $165.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in depreciation and amortization expense of approximately $9.3 million due to an increase in the depreciable asset base from net acquisitions after June 30, 2023. Additionally, a loss on impairment of approximately $5.0 million was recognized during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as discussed in Note 3 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, that did not occur during the six months ended June 30, 2023. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in other expenses of approximately $2.2 million, which was primarily attributed to the relinquishment of an acquisition deposit of approximately $2.5 million related to the termination of an acquisition contract during the six months ended June 30, 2023 that did not recur during the six months ended June 30, 2024.
Previous wording
Total other income (expense) consists of interest and other income, interest expense, debt extinguishment and modification expenses, and gain on the sales of rental property, net.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $18.7 million to approximately $105.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to approximately $86.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental operating cash flows from property acquisitions completed after March 31, 2023, and operating performance at existing properties. These increases were partially offset by the loss of cash flows from property dispositions completed after March 31, 2023 and fluctuations in working capital due to timing of payments and rental receipts.
Current wording
Net cash provided by operating activities increased approximately $31.2 million to approximately $227.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $196.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental operating cash flows from property acquisitions completed after June 30, 2023, and operating performance at existing properties.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities decreased approximately $86.1 million to approximately $76.3 million net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to approximately $9.8 million net cash provided by investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2023. The decrease to a net cash used in investing activities was primarily attributable to the acquisition of one building for a total cash consideration of approximately $49.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, whereas there were no acquisitions for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was also attributable to a decrease in proceeds from sales of rental property, net of approximately $36.3 million during the three months ended March 31, 2024, as there were no dispositions of rental property during the three months ended March 31, 2024.
Current wording
Net cash used in investing activities increased approximately $222.0 million to approximately $247.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $25.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily attributable to the acquisition of 11 buildings and one parcel of land for a total cash consideration of approximately $281.1 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, whereas there were two buildings acquired for a total cash consideration of approximately $40.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in cash paid for the additions of land and buildings and improvements related to development and other capital expenditures of approximately $13.5 million, as well as an increase in proceeds from sales of rental property, net of approximately $6.4 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024, as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.
Previous wording
Net cash used in financing activities decreased approximately $67.2 million to approximately $37.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to approximately $104.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2023. This decrease was primarily attributable to the redemption of $100.0 million of unsecured notes on January 5, 2023 that did not occur during the three months ended March 31, 2024. This decrease was partially offset by a decrease in net borrowings of approximately $27.0 million under our unsecured credit facility and an increase of approximately $4.8 million in dividends and distributions paid during the three months ended March 31, 2024 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2023.
Current wording
Net cash provided by (used in) financing activities increased approximately $215.7 million to approximately $32.9 million net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $182.9 million net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023. This increase was primarily attributable to the issuance of $450.0 million of unsecured notes on May 28, 2024, as discussed in Note 4 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The increase was also attributable to the redemption of $100.0 million of unsecured notes on January 5, 2023 that did not occur during the six months ended June 30, 2024. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in net borrowings of approximately $316.0 million under our unsecured credit facility, an increase of approximately $6.2 million in dividends and distributions paid, and a decrease of approximately $8.8 million due to a reduction of proceeds from the sales of common stock during the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

As of March 31, 2024, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate swaps through initial maturity. To the extent interest rates increase, interest costs on our floating rate debt not fixed with interest rate swaps will increase, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our security holders. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including swaps, caps and floors. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.

Same store lease income increased by approximately $6.0 million, or 4.4%, to approximately $143.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to approximately $137.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2023. The increase was primarily due to the execution of new leases and lease renewals with existing tenants of approximately $8.8 million. This increase was partially offset by the reduction of base rent of approximately $2.0 million due to tenant vacancies and a net increase in the amortization of net above market leases of approximately $0.2 million. Additionally, there was a decrease in same store lease income which was primarily attributable to management’s evaluation of operating leases to determine the probability of collecting substantially all of the lessee’s remaining lease payments under the lease term. For those that are not probable of collection, we convert to the cash basis of accounting. During the three months ended June 30, 2024, management determined two tenants should be converted from the accrual basis of accounting to the cash basis of accounting, which accounts for approximately $0.6 million of the decrease during the three months June 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.

The increase in other billings was primarily attributable to an increase in real estate tax reimbursements of approximately $1.4 million due to an increase in real estate taxes levied by the taxing authority for certain tenants for which we pay the real estate taxes on their behalf and occupancy of previously vacant buildings. Additionally, the increase was also attributable to an increase of approximately $0.8 million of other expense reimbursements due to an increase in the corresponding expenses and the occupancy of previously vacant buildings.
