Current report
On October 22, 2024, American Tire Distributors, Inc. (“ATD”), a tenant that accounts for approximately 1% of our total annualized base rental revenue as of December 31, 2024, voluntarily filed for reorganization under Chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code. ATD leases seven buildings from us totaling 840,658 square feet. Annualized base rental revenue for the seven buildings is approximately $6.1 million as of December 31, 2024. ATD’s bankruptcy filings indicate an intent to continue operations and to sell its assets to its current lender group. The contemplated transaction would eliminate a significant amount of debt and should provide the reorganized business with access to new capital. ATD is current on its rent obligations to us. While the sale and reorganization may not be successful and pursuant to the sale and reorganization ATD could assume or reject any or all of the seven leases (including after closing of the sale of ATD to its lenders), we do not currently believe that the tenant’s bankruptcy is reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect on our results of operations or financial condition.

Interest in Joint Ventures
Current report
We have equity interests in consolidated joint ventures that are primarily engaged in the development and operation of industrial real estate properties. We evaluated the joint ventures under the variable interest entity (“VIE”) model of consolidation and determined that the joint ventures are not VIEs. Accordingly, we determined to account for our interest in the joint ventures under the voting interest model of consolidation, as we have a majority voting interest and financial control. Control is determined using accounting standards related to the consolidation of joint ventures and VIEs. The evaluation of control includes a review of the entity’s governing documents and our rights and obligations. In determining whether we have a controlling financial interest in a joint venture, we consider various factors, including the percentage of voting interests owned, the ability to direct the activities that most significantly impact the entity’s economic performance, and the extent of our exposure to the entity’s returns. We also consider whether other parties hold substantive participating rights or protective rights that would preclude consolidation. We reevaluate our consolidation conclusions on an ongoing basis and upon occurrence of certain significant events under the accounting standards consolidation guidance.
Current report
The assets and liabilities of the consolidated joint ventures are included in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, and the joint ventures’ results of operations are included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Each joint venture partner’s share of its joint venture is reflected as noncontrolling interest in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
Current report
Our interest in the joint ventures is recognized under the hypothetical liquidation at book value model. Under this model, our earnings from and equity interest in the joint ventures are recorded based on our proportionate share of the ownership of the joint venture, after giving effect to incentive fees earned by the joint venture partner.
Current report
On September 10, 2024, we entered into the second amended and restated credit agreement for our unsecured credit facility (the “2024 Credit Agreement”) to, (i) extend the maturity date to September 8, 2028, or such later date which may be extended pursuant to two six-month extension options exercisable by us at our discretion, subject to certain conditions, including the payment of a fee, and (ii) provide that borrowings under our unsecured credit facility will, at our election, bear interest based on a Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (each as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement), which interest rate will be increased by 0.10% for any SOFR Loan (as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement), plus an applicable spread based on our debt rating and leverage ratio (each as defined in the 2024 Credit Agreement). Other than the increase in the borrowing commitments and the interest rate provisions described above, the material terms of our unsecured credit facility remain unchanged.
Current report
On March 25, 2024, we entered into a second amended and restated term loan agreement for the Unsecured Term Loan F to (i) extend the maturity date to March 25, 2027, with two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions, that would extend the maturity date to March 23, 2029 if both exercised, and (ii) provide that borrowings under the Unsecured Term Loan F will, at our election, bear interest based on a Base Rate, Adjusted Term SOFR, or Adjusted Daily Simple SOFR (each as defined in the loan agreement), which interest rate will be increased by 0.10% for any SOFR Loan (as defined in the loan agreement), plus an applicable spread based on our debt rating and leverage ratio (each as defined in the loan agreement), less a sustainability-related adjustment. Other than the maturity and interest rate provisions described above, the material terms remain unchanged.
Current report
On March 13, 2024, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the “March 2024 NPA”) for the private placement by the Operating Partnership of $175.0 million senior unsecured notes maturing May 28, 2029, with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.05%, $125.0 million senior unsecured notes maturing May 28, 2031, with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.17%, and $150.0 million senior unsecured notes maturing May 28, 2034, with a fixed annual interest rate of 6.30%. The March 2024 NPA contains a number of financial covenants substantially similar to the financial covenants contained in our unsecured credit facility and other unsecured notes, plus a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00. The Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership are guarantors of the unsecured notes. On May 28, 2024, we issued all of the notes under the March 2024 NPA.

As of December 31, 2023, we owned 569 buildings in 41 states with approximately 112.3 million rentable square feet, consisting of 493 warehouse/distribution buildings, 70 light manufacturing buildings, one flex/office building, and five Value Add Portfolio buildings. We own both single- and multi-tenant properties, although the majority of our portfolio is single-tenant.

As of December 31, 2024, we owned 591 buildings in 41 states with approximately 116.6 million rentable square feet. We own both single- and multi-tenant properties, although the majority of our portfolio is single-tenant.
Previous wording
As of December 31, 2023, our buildings were approximately 98.2% leased, with no single tenant accounting for more than approximately 2.9% of our total annualized base rental revenue and no single industry accounting for more than approximately 11.0% of our total annualized base rental revenue.

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, GDP increased more than 2.0% during the year ended June 30, 2023 and surged in the third quarter of 2023 to a 4.9% annualized growth rate. Labor conditions held strong with a consistent 3.7% unemployment rate as of December 2023. 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.
Current wording
The industrial real estate business is affected by general macro-economic trends including recent changes in interest rates, inflation, 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 nine consecutive quarters with the most recent measure showing 3.1% growth in the third quarter of 2024. Labor conditions are slowing but holding solid with a 4.1% unemployment rate as of December 2024. The general consensus among economists is low growth in the United States with a continued historically elevated risk of recession. While the macro-economic conditions will evolve and could result in tighter credit conditions, weakening tenant cash flows, and rising vacancy rates, we believe we will benefit on a relative basis 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 positively affect U.S. industrial demand. However, given the current uncertainty and events discussed above, our acquisition activity slowed since 2022.
Previous wording
We believe that the current economic environment, while volatile, will provide us with an opportunity to demonstrate the diversification of our portfolio. Specifically, we believe our existing portfolio should benefit from competitive rental rates and strong occupancy. In addition to our diversified portfolio, we believe that certain characteristics of our business and capital structure should position us well in an uncertain environment, including our minimal floating rate debt exposure (taking into account our hedging activities), strong banking relationships, strong liquidity, access to capital, and the fact that many of our competitors for the assets we purchase tend to be smaller local and regional investors who may have been more heavily impacted by rising interest rates and lack of available capital.

•the increasing attractiveness of the United States as a manufacturing and distribution location because of the size of the U.S. consumer market, an increase in overseas labor costs, a desire for greater supply chain resilience and redundancy which is driving higher inventory to sales ratios and greater domestic warehouse demand over the long term (i.e. the shortening and fattening of the supply chain); and

Previous wording
Our portfolio continues to benefit from historically low availability throughout the national industrial market. Demand moderated in 2023 relative to recent peaks, but remains solid across a broad array of our markets. Vacancy and availability rates, while rising, remain low by historical standards. The supply pipeline remains robust, albeit smaller and more notably concentrated in very large warehouses. Construction starts declined as a result of both moderating demand and volatile capital markets in 2023. 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.

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, in certain market, concentrated in very large warehouses. Construction starts continue to decline as a result of both moderating demand and volatile capital markets.

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 7.6% of our total annualized base rental revenue will expire during the period from January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, 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, overall, the rental rates on the respective new leases will be greater than the rates under existing leases expiring during the period January 1, 2024 to December 31, 2024, thereby resulting in an increase in revenue from the same space.

The excess of the cost of an acquired business over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Our goodwill of approximately $4.9 million represents amounts allocated to the assembled workforce from the acquired management company, and is presented in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our goodwill has an indeterminate life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis at December 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We take a qualitative approach to consider whether an impairment of goodwill exists prior to quantitatively determining the fair value of the reporting unit in step one of the impairment test. We have recorded no impairments to goodwill as of December 31, 2023.

Net income for our total portfolio increased by approximately $15.0 million or 8.2% to approximately $197.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to approximately $182.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Current wording
Net income for our total portfolio decreased by approximately $3.9 million or 2.0% to approximately $193.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to approximately $197.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Previous wording
Same store rental income, which is comprised of lease income and other billings as discussed below, increased by approximately $32.5 million or 5.4% to approximately $634.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to approximately $601.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2022.
Current wording
Same store rental income, which is comprised of lease income and other billings as discussed below, increased by approximately $30.2 million or 4.5% to approximately $701.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to approximately $670.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Previous wording
Same store lease income increased approximately $22.8 million or 4.6% to approximately $518.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to approximately $495.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was primarily due to an increase in rental income of approximately $29.8 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 $5.5 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 $1.0 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. Management determined two tenants should be converted from the cash basis of accounting back to the accrual basis of accounting, for which approximately $1.5 million of straight-line rental income was recognized. This was offset by certain other tenants converting from the accrual basis of accounting to the cash basis of accounting, for which approximately $2.5 million of straight-line rental income was either reversed or was not recognized.
Current wording
Same store lease income increased approximately $22.0 million or 4.0% to approximately $568.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 compared to approximately $546.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023. The increase was primarily due to an increase in rental income of approximately $31.1 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 $5.3 million due to tenant vacancies, and a net increase in the amortization of net above market leases of approximately $0.7 million. Additionally, there was a decrease in same store lease income of approximately $3.1 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 leases that are not probable of collection, we convert to the cash basis of accounting. During the year ended December 31, 2024, management determined certain leases should be converted from the accrual basis of accounting to the cash basis of accounting, which accounts for an approximately $1.3 million decrease during the year ended December 31, 2024 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2023. Additionally, management converted certain leases from the cash basis of accounting back to the accrual basis of accounting during the year ended December 31, 2023, for which approximately $1.8 million of straight-line accrued rental balance was reinstated.
Previous wording
Same store other billings increased approximately $9.7 million or 9.2% to approximately $115.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2023 compared to approximately $105.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2022. The increase was attributable to (i) an increase of approximately $5.7 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, (ii) 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 (iii) occupancy of previously vacant buildings. The increase was also attributable to an increase of approximately $4.0 million in other expense reimbursements which was primarily due to an increase in corresponding expenses.
Current wording

We believe that our liquidity needs will be satisfied through cash flows generated by operations, disposition proceeds, and financing activities. Operating cash flow from rental income, expense recoveries from tenants, and other income from operations is our principal source of funds to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures, and the distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification. We primarily rely on the capital markets (equity and debt securities) to fund our acquisition activity. We seek to increase cash flows from our properties by maintaining quality building standards that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates, while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. We believe that our revenue, together with proceeds from building sales and equity and debt financings, will continue to provide funds for our short-term and medium-term liquidity needs.
