Item 2. Results of Operations

Our consolidated results of operations are often not comparable from period to period due to the effect of (i) property acquisitions, (ii) property dispositions and (iii) properties that are taken out of service for repositioning or redevelopment during the comparative reporting periods. Our “Total Portfolio” represents all of the properties owned during the reported periods. To eliminate the effect of changes in our Total Portfolio due to acquisitions, dispositions, and repositioning/redevelopment and to highlight the operating results of our on-going business, we have separately presented the results of our “Same Property Portfolio.”

For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our Same Property Portfolio includes all properties in our industrial portfolio that were wholly-owned by us for the period from January 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, and that were stabilized prior to January 1, 2024, which consisted of buildings aggregating approximately 38.4 million rentable square feet at 292 of our properties. Results for our Same Property Portfolio exclude properties that were acquired or sold during the period from January 1, 2024 through March 31, 2025, properties or buildings classified as current or future repositioning (including select buildings in “other repositioning”), redevelopment or lease-up during 2024 or 2025, management and leasing services revenue, interest income, interest expense and corporate general and administrative expenses.

In addition to the properties included in our Same Property Portfolio, our Total Portfolio includes the 56 properties aggregating approximately 4.6 million rentable square feet that were purchased between January 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025, and the six properties aggregating approximately 0.3 million rentable square feet that were sold between January 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025.

At March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, our Same Property Portfolio occupancy was approximately 95.7% and 96.6%, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, our Same Property Portfolio weighted average occupancy was approximately 95.9% and 96.9%, respectively.

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

The following table summarizes the historical results of operations for our Same Property Portfolio and Total Portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (dollars in thousands):

Rental Income

In the following table, we present the components of rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024, which includes rental revenue, tenant reimbursements and other income related to leases. The below presentation of rental income is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP. We are presenting this information because we believe it is frequently used by management, investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to understand and evaluate the Company’s performance.

Rental income$190,259$188,059$2,2001.2%$248,821$210,990$37,83117.9%

Our Same Property Portfolio and Total Portfolio rental income increased by $2.2 million, or 1.2%, and $37.8 million, or 17.9%, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, for the reasons described below:

(1) Rental Revenue

Our Same Property Portfolio and Total Portfolio rental revenue increased by $1.6 million, or 1.0%, and $31.6 million, or 18.1%, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in our Same Property Portfolio rental revenue is primarily due to an increase in average rental rates on new and renewal leases, partially offset by a decrease of $1.6 million in amortization of net below-market lease intangibles, an increase of $0.9 million in bad debt reserves/write-offs for tenant receivables not deemed probable of collection, and a decrease in average occupancy rates. Our Total Portfolio rental revenue was also positively impacted by the incremental revenues from the 56 properties we acquired between January 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025, and net lease termination income of $8.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, which includes lump-sum lease termination fees and write-offs of deferred rent receivables and below-market lease intangibles associated with the lease terminations.

(2) Tenant Reimbursements

Our Same Property Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue increased by $0.6 million, or 1.8%, and our Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue increased by $6.2 million, or 17.4%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in our Same Property Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue is primarily due to higher reimbursable property tax expenses and higher billings for other reimbursable expenses. Our Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue was also impacted by the incremental tenant reimbursements from the 56 properties we acquired between January 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025.

(3) Other Income

Our Same Property Portfolio and Total Portfolio other income increased by $0.1 million, or 9.3%, and $28 thousand, or 3.3%, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in fees charged for legal fee reimbursement and late rental payments.

Management and Leasing Services

Our Total Portfolio management and leasing services revenue increased by $10 thousand, or 7.6%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024.

Interest Income

Interest income increased by $0.4 million, or 11.8%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to an increase in the average cash balance invested in money market accounts.

Property Expenses

Our Same Property Portfolio and Total Portfolio property expenses increased by $1.2 million, or 3.0%, and $7.8 million, or 16.4%, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase in our Same Property Portfolio property expenses is primarily due to increases in property tax expenses, utility expenses, insurance expenses and repairs and maintenance expenses. Our Total Portfolio property expenses were also impacted by incremental expenses from the 56 properties we acquired between January 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025.

General and Administrative

Our Total Portfolio general and administrative expenses decreased by $0.1 million, or 0.6%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a decrease in overall employee compensation costs.

Depreciation and Amortization

Our Same Property Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased by $5.0 million, or 9.7%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a $4.0 million write-off of acquisition-related in-place-lease costs resulting from an early lease termination, an increase in depreciation expense related to capital improvements placed into service subsequent to January 1, 2024, and an increase in amortization of deferred leasing costs, including a $0.6 million write-off of deferred leasing costs resulting from an early lease termination, partially offset by decrease in depreciation expense due to acquisition-related in-place lease intangibles becoming fully depreciated at certain of our properties subsequent to January 1, 2024. Our Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased by $20.5 million, or 30.9%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to the incremental expense from the 56 properties we acquired between January 1, 2024 and March 31, 2025.

Other Expenses

Our Total Portfolio other expenses increased by $0.8 million from $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024 to $2.2 million for three months ended March 31, 2025, primarily due to $1.5 million of severance costs associated with a workforce reduction, partially offset by a $0.6 million decrease in construction demolition costs.

Interest Expense

Our Total Portfolio interest expense increased by $12.6 million, or 86.0%, during the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to the three months ended March 31, 2024, primarily due to a $13.2 million increase related to the aggregate $1.15 billion of exchangeable notes offering we completed in March 2024, partially offset by a $0.3 million decrease due to an increase in capitalized interest related to repositioning and redevelopment activity.

Gains on Sale of Real Estate

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we recognized gains on sale of real estate of $13.2 million from the disposition of one property that was sold for a gross sales price of $52.5 million. During the three months ended March 31, 2024, we did not complete any property dispositions.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: Funds From Operations and Core Funds From Operations

We calculate funds from operations (“FFO”) attributable to common stockholders in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”)), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property or assets incidental to our business, impairment losses of depreciable operating property or assets incidental to our business, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs) and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.

Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, and asset impairments, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of performance used by other REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.

However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate or interpret FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

We calculate “Core FFO” by adjusting FFO for non-comparable items outlined in the reconciliation below. We believe that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure and that by adjusting for items that are not considered by us to be part of our on-going operating performance, provides a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating and financial performance period-over-period. Because these adjustments have a real economic impact on our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of Core FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate Core FFO in a consistent manner. Accordingly, our Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs' core FFO. Core FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. “Company share of Core FFO” in the table below reflects Core FFO attributable to common stockholders, which excludes amounts allocable to noncontrolling interests, participating securities and preferred stockholders.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to FFO and Core FFO (in thousands):

(1)Noncontrolling interests represent (i) holders of outstanding common units of the Company's Operating Partnership that are owned by unit holders other than the Company and (ii) holders of Series 1 CPOP Units, Series 2 CPOP Units and Series 3 CPOP Units. On April 10, 2024, we exercised our conversion right to convert all 593,960 Series 1 preferred units into OP Units. On March 6, 2025, we exercised our conversion right to convert all remaining 904,583 Series 2 preferred units into OP Units.

(2)Participating securities include unvested shares of restricted stock, unvested LTIP units of partnership interest in our Operating Partnership and unvested performance units in our Operating Partnership.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measures: NOI and Cash NOI

Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP measure which includes the revenue and expense directly attributable to our real estate properties. NOI is calculated as rental income less property expenses (before interest expense, depreciation and amortization).

We use NOI as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate depreciation and amortization expense, general and administrative expenses, interest expense, gains (or losses) on sale of real estate and other non-operating items, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that NOI will be useful to investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because NOI excludes depreciation and amortization expense and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties (all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations), the utility of NOI as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate NOI in a similar manner and, accordingly, our NOI may not be comparable to such other REITs’ NOI. Accordingly, NOI should be considered only as a supplement to net income as a measure of our performance. NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP.

NOI on a cash-basis (“Cash NOI”) is a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate by adding or subtracting the following items from NOI: (i) amortization of above/(below) market lease intangibles and amortization of other deferred rent resulting from sale leaseback transactions with below market leaseback payments and (ii) straight-line rental revenue adjustments. We use Cash NOI, together with NOI, as a supplemental performance measure. Cash NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. Cash NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP.

The following table sets forth the revenue and expense items comprising NOI and the adjustments to calculate Cash NOI (in thousands):

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: EBITDAre

We calculate earnings before interest expense, income taxes, depreciation and amortization for real estate (“EBITDAre”) in accordance with the standards established by NAREIT. EBITDAre is calculated as net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), before interest expense, income tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property or assets incidental to our business, impairment losses of depreciable operating property or assets incidental to our business and adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures.

We believe that EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our properties. We also use this measure in ratios to compare our performance to that of our industry peers. In addition, we believe EBITDAre is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of equity REITs. However, our industry peers may not calculate EBITDArein accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do and, accordingly, our EBITDAre may not be comparable to our peers’ EBITDAre. Accordingly, EBITDAre should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of our performance.

The following table sets forth a reconciliation of net income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, to EBITDAre (in thousands):

Supplemental Guarantor Information

Subsidiary issuers of obligations guaranteed by the parent are not required to provide separate financial statements, provided that the parent guarantee is “full and unconditional,” the subsidiary obligor is consolidated into the parent company’s consolidated financial statements and, subject to certain exceptions as set forth below, the alternative disclosure required by Rule 13-01 is provided, which includes narrative disclosure and summarized financial information. The Company and the Operating Partnership have filed a registration statement on Form S-3 with the SEC registering, among other securities, debt securities of the Operating Partnership, which will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company. At March 31, 2025, the Operating Partnership had issued and outstanding $300.0 million of 5.000% Senior Notes due 2028 (the “$300 Million Notes due 2028”), $400.0 million of 2.125% Senior Notes due 2030 (the “$400 Million Notes due 2030”), $400 million of 2.150% Senior Notes due 2031 (the “$400 Million Notes due 2031”), $575.0 million of 4.375% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Exchangeable Notes”) and $575.0 million of 4.125% Exchangeable Senior Notes due 2029 (the “2029 Exchangeable Notes” and together with the 2027 Exchangeable Notes, the “Exchangeable Notes”). The obligations of the Operating Partnership to pay principal, premiums, if any, and interest on the $300 Million Notes due 2028, $400 Million Notes due 2030, $400 Million Notes due 2031 and Exchangeable Notes are guaranteed on a senior basis by the Company. The guarantee is full and unconditional, and the Operating Partnership is a consolidated subsidiary of the Company. Accordingly, separate consolidated financial statements of the Operating Partnership have not been presented.

Furthermore, as permitted under Rule 13-01(a)(4)(vi), the Company has excluded the summarized financial information for the Operating Partnership as the assets, liabilities and results of operations of the Company and the Operating Partnership are not materially different than the corresponding amounts presented in the consolidated financial statements of the Company, and management believes such summarized financial information would be repetitive and not provide incremental value to investors.

Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for operating expenses, interest expense, general and administrative expenses, capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions, and distributions to our common and preferred stockholders and holders of common units of partnership interests in our Operating Partnership (“OP Units”). We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements through available cash on hand, cash flow from operations, by drawing on our unsecured revolving credit facility and by issuing shares of common stock pursuant to our at-the-market equity offering program or issuing other securities as described below.

Our long-term liquidity needs consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, recurring and non-recurring capital expenditures and scheduled debt maturities. We intend to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through net cash flow from operations, proceeds from long-term secured and unsecured financings, borrowings available under our unsecured revolving credit facility, the issuance of equity securities, including preferred stock, and proceeds from selective real estate dispositions as we identify capital recycling opportunities.

As of March 31, 2025, we had:

Outstanding fixed-rate and variable-rate debt with varying maturities for an aggregate principal amount of $3.4 billion, with $567.7 million due within 12 months (including the $400 million unsecured term loan facility maturing on July 18, 2025, which can be extended for one remaining one-year term at our option, the $100 million unsecured senior notes maturing on August 6, 2025 and the $60.0 million term loan facility maturing on October 27, 2025, which can be extended for two remaining one-year terms at our option);

Total scheduled interest payments on our fixed rate debt and projected net interest payments on our variable rate debt and interest rate swaps of $389.6 million, of which $113.6 million is due within 12 months;

Commitments of $121.3 million for tenant improvements under certain tenant leases and construction work related to obligations under contractual agreements with our construction vendors; and

Operating lease commitments with aggregate lease payments of $25.2 million, of which $1.7 million is due within 12 months.

See “Note 6 – Notes Payable” to the consolidated financial statements included in Item 1 of this Report on Form 10-Q for further details regarding the scheduled principal payments. Also see “Note 7 – Leases” to the consolidated financial statements for further details regarding the scheduled operating lease payments.

As of March 31, 2025, our cash and cash equivalents were $504.6 million, and we did not have borrowings outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility, leaving $995.0 million available for future borrowings after giving effect to the $5.0 million letter of credit that was issued under the unsecured revolving credit facility.

Sources of Liquidity

Cash Flow from Operations

Cash flow from operations is one of our key sources of liquidity and is primarily dependent upon: (i) the occupancy levels and lease rates at our properties, (ii) our ability to collect rent, (iii) the level of operating costs we incur and (iv) our ability to pass through operating expenses to our tenants. We are subject to a number of risks related to general economic and other unpredictable conditions, which have the potential to affect our overall performance and resulting cash flows from operations. However, based on our current portfolio mix and business strategy, we anticipate that we will be able to generate positive cash flows from operations.

ATM Program

On February 17, 2023, we established an at-the-market equity offering program (“ATM program”) pursuant to which we are able to sell from time to time shares of our common stock having an aggregate sales price of up to $1.25 billion (the “2023 ATM Program”).

In connection with our ATM program, we may sell shares of our common stock directly through sales agents or we may enter into forward equity sale agreements with certain financial institutions acting as forward purchasers whereby, at our discretion, the forward purchasers may borrow and sell shares of our common stock under ATM program. The use of a forward equity sale agreement allows us to lock in a share price on the sale of shares of our common stock at the time the agreement is executed but defer settling the forward equity sale agreements and receiving the proceeds from the sale of shares until a later date. Additionally, the forward price that we expect to receive upon physical settlement of an agreement will be subject to adjustment for (i) a floating interest rate factor equal to a specified daily rate less a spread, (ii) the forward purchaser’s stock borrowing costs and (iii) scheduled dividends during the term of the agreement.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we did not sell any shares of common stock directly through sales agents or enter into any forward equity sale agreements under the 2023 ATM Program.

As of March 31, 2025, approximately $927.4 million of common stock remains available to be sold under the 2023 ATM Program. Future sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, determinations by us of the appropriate sources of funding for us and potential uses of funding available to us.

Securities Offerings

We evaluate the capital markets on an ongoing basis for opportunities to raise capital, and as circumstances warrant, we may issue additional securities, from time to time, to fund acquisitions, for the repayment of long-term debt upon maturity and for other general corporate purposes. Such securities may include common equity, preferred equity and/or debt of us or our subsidiaries. Any future issuance, however, is dependent upon market conditions, available pricing and capital needs and there can be no assurance that we will be able to complete any such offerings of securities.

March 2024 Forward Equity Offering —In March 2024, we entered into a forward equity sale agreement with a financial institution acting as forward purchaser in connection with an underwritten public offering of 17,179,318 shares of common stock (the “March 2024 Forward Sale Agreement”), pursuant to which, the forward purchaser borrowed and sold an aggregate of 17,179,318 shares of common stock in the offering. We did not receive any proceeds from the sale of common shares by the forward purchaser at the time of the offering. During 2024, we partially settled the March 2024 Forward Sale Agreement by issuing 7,402,550 shares of common stock, leaving a remaining 9,776,768 shares of common stock for settlement as of December 31, 2024.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we settled the remaining portion of the March 2024 Forward Sale Agreement by issuing the remaining 9,776,768 shares of common stock for net proceeds of $478.0 million, based on a weighted average forward price of $48.89 per share at settlement.

Capital Recycling

We continuously evaluate opportunities for the potential disposition of properties in our portfolio when we believe such disposition is appropriate in view of our business objectives. In evaluating these opportunities, we consider a variety of criteria including, but not limited to, local market conditions and lease rates, asset type and location, as well as potential uses of proceeds and tax considerations. Tax considerations include entering into tax-deferred like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Code (“1031 Exchange”), when possible, to defer some or all of the taxable gains, if any, on dispositions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2025, we completed the sale of one property for an gross sales price of $52.5 million and net cash proceeds of $50.1 million. Subsequent to the first quarter of 2025, we sold one property for a gross sale price of $50.9 million and net cash proceeds of $49.2 million. Cash proceeds from the sale of these properties are classified as restricted cash and are being held by qualified intermediaries for purposes of facilitating tax-deferred like-kind exchanges under 1031 Exchange. However, we may or may not find replacement properties that meet our investment criteria within the 180 day 1031 Exchange period.

We anticipate continuing to selectively and opportunistically dispose of properties, however, the timing of any potential future dispositions will depend on market conditions, asset-specific circumstances or opportunities, and our capital needs. Our ability to dispose of selective properties on advantageous terms, or at all, is dependent upon a number of factors including the availability of credit to potential buyers to purchase properties at prices that we consider acceptable.

Investment Grade Rating

Our credit ratings at March 31, 2025, were Baa2 (Stable outlook) from Moody’s and BBB+ (Stable outlook) from both S&P and Fitch with respect to our Credit Agreement (described below), Exchangeable Notes, $100.0 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (the “$100 Million Notes”), $25.0 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes and $75.0 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (together the “Series 2019A and 2019B Notes”), $300 Million Notes, $400 Million Notes due 2030 and $400 Million Notes due 2031. Our credit ratings at March 31, 2025, were BBB- from both S&P and Fitch with respect to our 5.875% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and our 5.625% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. Our credit ratings are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analysis of us, and, although it is our intent to maintain our investment grade credit rating, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. In the event our current credit ratings are downgraded, it may become difficult or more expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing indebtedness as maturities become due.

Credit Agreement

As of March 31, 2025, under the Fourth Amended and Restated Credit Agreement (the “Credit Agreement”), we have an unsecured revolving credit facility with a borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion (the “Revolver”), which also allows us to issue letters of credit up to an aggregate amount not to exceed $100.0 million, a $300.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$300 Million Term Loan”) and a $400.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$400 Million Term Loan” and together with the $300 Million Term Loan, the “Term Facility”). Subject to certain terms and conditions set forth in the Credit Agreement, we may request additional lender commitments and increase the size of the Credit Agreement by an additional $800.0 million, which may be comprised of additional revolving commitments under the Revolver, an increase to the Term Facility, additional term loan tranches or any combination of the foregoing.

The Revolver is scheduled to mature on May 26, 2026 and has two six-month extension options available. The $400 Million Term Loan is scheduled to mature on July 18, 2025 and has one remaining one-year extension option available. The $300 Million Term Loan matures on May 26, 2027.

Interest on the Credit Agreement is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) 1-month SOFR (“Term SOFR”) plus the applicable margin; (ii) daily Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable margin or (iii) the applicable base rate (which is defined as the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the administrative agent’s prime rate, (c) Term SOFR plus 1.00%, and (d) one percent (1.00%) plus the applicable margin). Additionally, Term SOFR and daily SOFR will be increased by a 0.10% SOFR adjustment. The applicable margin for the Term Facility ranges from 0.80% to 1.60% per annum for SOFR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.60% per annum for base rate loans, depending on our leverage ratio and investment grade ratings. The applicable margin for the Revolver ranges from 0.725% to 1.400% per annum for SOFR-based loans and letters of credit and 0.00% to 0.40% per annum for base rate loans, depending on our leverage ratio and investment grade ratings. In addition to the interest payable on amounts outstanding under the Revolver, we are required to pay an applicable credit facility fee, on each lender's commitment amount under the Revolver, regardless of usage. The applicable credit facility fee ranges from 0.125% to 0.300% per annum, depending on our leverage ratio and investment grade rating.

In addition, the Credit Agreement also features a sustainability-linked pricing component that can periodically adjust the applicable margin by -0.04%, zero or 0.04% and adjust the applicable credit facility fee by -0.01%, zero or 0.01%, depending on our achievement of the annual sustainability performance metric. As of March 31, 2025, the sustainability-linked pricing adjustment was zero for both the applicable margin and the credit facility fee.

The Revolver and the Term Facility may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. Amounts borrowed under the Term Facility and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

The Credit Agreement contains usual and customary events of default including defaults in the payment of principal, interest or fees, defaults in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Credit Agreement and other loan documentation, cross-defaults to certain other indebtedness, and bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults. If an event of default occurs and is continuing under the Credit Agreement, the unpaid principal amount of all outstanding loans, together with all accrued unpaid interest and other amounts owing in respect thereof, may be declared immediately due and payable.

As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Revolver and had $5.0 million outstanding in letters of credit that reduced our borrowing capacity, leaving $995.0 million available for future borrowings.

Uses of Liquidity

Acquisitions

One of our most significant liquidity needs has historically been for the acquisition of real estate properties. Year to date, as of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we did not acquire any properties. However, we are actively monitoring a volume of properties in our markets that we believe represent attractive potential investment opportunities to continue to grow our business. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report, we have no acquisitions under contract or accepted offer. While the actual number of acquisitions that we complete will be dependent upon a number of factors, in the short term, we expect to fund our future acquisitions through restricted cash currently being held at qualified intermediaries, available cash on hand, cash flows from operations, borrowings available under the Revolver, recycling capital through property dispositions and, in the long term, through the issuance of equity securities or proceeds from long-term secured and unsecured financings.

Recurring and Nonrecurring Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures are considered part of both our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. As discussed above under — Factors that May Influence Future Results —Acquisitions and Value-Add Repositioning and Redevelopment of Properties, as of March 31, 2025, 31 of our properties were under current repositioning/redevelopment or lease-up. We currently estimate that approximately $163.5 million of capital will be required over the next few years to complete the repositioning/redevelopment of these properties. However, this estimate is based on our current construction plans and budgets, both of which are subject to change as a result of a number of factors, including increased costs of building materials or construction services (including as a result of trade disputes and tariffs) and construction delays related to supply chain backlogs and increased lead time on building materials. If we are unable to complete construction on schedule or within budget, we could incur increased construction costs and experience potential delays in leasing the properties. We expect to fund these projects through a combination of available cash on hand, the issuance of common stock under the 2023 ATM Program, cash flow from operations and borrowings available under the Revolver.

The following table sets forth certain information regarding non-recurring and recurring capital expenditures at the properties in our portfolio as follows:

Total(1)Square Feet(2)Per Square Foot(3)
Non-Recurring Capital Expenditures(4)$43,36129,600,513$1.46
Recurring Capital Expenditures(5)1,31151,075,653$0.03
Total Capital Expenditures$44,672

(1)Cost is reported in thousands. Excludes the following capitalized costs: (i) compensation costs of personnel directly responsible for and who spend their time on redevelopment, renovation and rehabilitation activity and (ii) interest, property taxes and insurance costs incurred during the pre-construction and construction periods of repositioning or redevelopment projects.

(2)For non-recurring capital expenditures, reflects the aggregate square footage of the properties in which we incurred such capital expenditures. For recurring capital expenditures, reflects the weighted average square footage of our consolidated portfolio during the period.

(3)Per square foot amounts are calculated by dividing the aggregate capital expenditure costs by the square footage as defined in (2) above.

(4)Non-recurring capital expenditures are expenditures made in respect of a property for repositioning, redevelopment, or other major upgrade or renovation of such property, and further includes capital expenditures for seismic upgrades, roof or parking lot replacements or capital expenditures for deferred maintenance existing at the time such property was acquired.

(5)Recurring capital expenditures are expenditures made in respect of a property for maintenance of such property and replacement of items due to ordinary wear and tear including, but not limited to, expenditures made for maintenance of parking lot, roofing materials, mechanical systems, HVAC systems and other structural systems.

Dividends and Distributions

In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are required to distribute annually at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gains. To satisfy the requirements to qualify as a REIT and generally not be subject to U.S. federal income tax, we intend to distribute a percentage of our cash flow on a quarterly basis to holders of our common stock. In addition, we intend to make distribution payments to holders of OP Units and preferred units and dividend payments to holders of our preferred stock.

On April 14, 2025, our board of directors declared the following quarterly cash dividends/distributions record dates and payment dates.

Stock Repurchase Program

On February 3, 2025, our board of directors authorized a stock repurchase program for up to $300.0 million of our outstanding common stock (the “Stock Repurchase Program”). Under the Stock Repurchase Program, we may purchase our shares from time to time in the open market, in privately negotiated transactions or in other transactions as permitted by federal securities laws. The amount and timing of the purchase will depend on a number of factors including the price and availability of our shares, trading volume and general market conditions. The Stock Repurchase Program expires on February 3, 2027. As of March 31, 2025, no shares had been purchased under the Stock Repurchase Program.

We were in compliance with all of our required quarterly financial debt covenants as of March 31, 2025.

Cash Flows

Comparison of the Three Months Ended March 31, 2025 to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024

The following table summarizes the changes in net cash flows associated with our operating, investing, and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024 (in thousands):

Three Months Ended March 31,
20252024Change
Cash provided by operating activities$152,551$133,756$18,795
Cash used in investing activities$(29,043)$(1,153,782)$1,124,739
Cash provided by financing activities$375,205$1,323,542$(948,337)

Net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $18.8 million to $152.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $133.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The increase was primarily attributable to the incremental cash flows from property acquisitions completed during 2024 and the increase in Cash NOI from our Same Property Portfolio, partially offset by higher cash interest paid as compared to the prior year period and changes in working capital.

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $1.12 billion to $29.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.15 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $1.07 billion decrease in cash paid for property acquisitions and a $50.1 million increase in proceeds from the sale of real estate for comparable periods.

Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $948.3 million to $375.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2025, compared to $1.3 billion for the three months ended March 31, 2024. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease of $1.1 billion in net cash proceeds from the issuance of the Exchangeable Notes in March 2024, partially offset by an increase of $187.5 million in net cash proceeds from the issuance of shares of our common stock.

Inflation

We do not believe that inflation has historically had a material impact on the Company. While currently moderating, significant inflation in recent years has resulted in increased operating expenses, capital expenditures and cost of our variable-rate borrowings which could have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. The majority of our leases are either triple net or provide for tenant reimbursement for costs related to real estate taxes and operating expenses. In addition, most of the leases provide for fixed rent increases. We believe that inflationary increases to real estate taxes, utility expenses and other operating expenses may be partially offset by the contractual rent increases and tenant payment of taxes and expenses described above.
