EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2018, of Prologis, Inc. and Prologis, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Prologis, Inc.” or the “Parent” mean Prologis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to “Prologis, L.P.” or the “Operating Partnership” or the “OP” mean Prologis, L.P., and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms “the Company,” “Prologis,” “we,” “our” or “us” means the Parent and the OP collectively.

 

The Parent is a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) and the general partner of the OP. At June 30, 2018, the Parent owned 97.11% common general partnership interest in the OP and 100% of the preferred units in the OP. The remaining 2.89% common limited partnership interests are owned by unaffiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Parent.

 

We operate the Parent and the OP as one enterprise. The management of the Parent consists of the same members as the management of the OP. These members are officers of the Parent and employees of the OP or one of its subsidiaries. As sole general partner, the Parent has control of the OP through complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and therefore, consolidates the OP for financial reporting purposes. Because the only significant asset of the Parent is its investment in the OP, the assets and liabilities of the Parent and the OP are the same on their respective financial statements.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the Parent and the OP into this single report results in the following benefits:

enhances investors’ understanding of the Parent and the OP by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation as a substantial portion of the Company’s disclosure applies to both the Parent and the OP; and

creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

 

It is important to understand the few differences between the Parent and the OP in the context of how we operate the Company. The Parent does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the OP and issuing public equity from time to time. The Parent itself does not incur any indebtedness, but it guarantees the unsecured debt of the OP. The OP holds substantially all the assets of the business, directly or indirectly. The OP conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the Parent, which are contributed to the OP in exchange for partnership units, the OP generates capital required by the business through the OP’s operations, incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of partnership units to third parties.

 

The presentation of noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Parent and those of the OP. The differences in the presentations between stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital result from the differences in the equity and capital issuances in the Parent and in the OP.

                

The preferred stock, common stock, additional paid-in capital, accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and distributions in excess of net earnings of the Parent are presented as stockholders’ equity in the Parent’s consolidated financial statements. These items represent the common and preferred general partnership interests held by the Parent in the OP and are presented as general partner’s capital within partners’ capital in the OP’s consolidated financial statements. The common limited partnership interests held by the limited partners in the OP are presented as noncontrolling interest within equity in the Parent’s consolidated financial statements and as limited partners’ capital within partners’ capital in the OP’s consolidated financial statements.

                

To highlight the differences between the Parent and the OP, separate sections in this report, as applicable, individually discuss the Parent and the OP, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the Parent and the OP, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of Prologis.

PROLOGIS, INC. AND PROLOGIS, L.P.

NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

NOTE 1. GENERAL

 

Business. Prologis, Inc. (or the “Parent”) commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company in 1997, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and believes the current organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain its status as a REIT. The Parent is the general partner of Prologis, L.P. (or the “Operating Partnership” or “OP”). Through the OP, we are engaged in the ownership, acquisition, development and management of logistics facilities with a focus on high-barrier, high-growth markets in 19 countries. We invest in real estate through wholly owned subsidiaries and other entities through which we co-invest with partners and investors. We maintain a significant level of ownership in these co-investment ventures, which may be consolidated or unconsolidated based on our level of control of the entity. Our current business strategy consists of two operating business segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital. Our Real Estate Operations segment represents the ownership and development of logistics properties. Our Strategic Capital segment represents the management of unconsolidated co-investment ventures. See Note 10 for further discussion of our business segments. Unless otherwise indicated, the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the Parent and the OP. The terms “the Company,” “Prologis,” “we,” “our” or “us” means the Parent and OP collectively.

 

For each share of preferred or common stock the Parent issues, the OP issues a corresponding preferred or common partnership unit, as applicable, to the Parent in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. At June 30, 2018, the Parent owned 97.11% common general partnership interest in the OP and 100% of the preferred units in the OP. The remaining 2.89% common limited partnership interests, which include 8.8 million Class A common limited partnership units (“Class A Units”) in the OP, are owned by unaffiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Parent. Each partner’s percentage interest in the OP is determined based on the number of OP units held, including the number of OP units into which Class A Units are convertible, compared to total OP units outstanding at each period end and is used as the basis for the allocation of net income or loss to each partner. At the end of each reporting period, a capital adjustment is made in the OP to reflect the appropriate ownership interest for each of the common unitholders. These adjustments are reflected in the line items Reallocation of Equity in the Consolidated Statement of Equity of the Parent and Reallocation of Capital in the Consolidated Statement of Capital of the OP.

 

As the sole general partner of the OP, the Parent has complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the OP and we operate the Parent and the OP as one enterprise. The management of the Parent consists of the same members as the management of the OP. These members are officers of the Parent and employees of the OP or one of its subsidiaries. As general partner with control of the OP, the Parent is the primary beneficiary and therefore consolidates the OP. Because the Parent’s only significant asset is its investment in the OP, the assets and liabilities of the Parent and the OP are the same on their respective financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are presented in our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial information has been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and note disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. Our management believes that the disclosures presented in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for both the Parent and the OP for the reported periods have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the SEC, and other public information.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements.

 

New Accounting Standards Adopted

 

Revenue Recognition. In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update (“ASU”) that requires companies to use a five-step model to determine when to recognize revenue from customer contracts in an effort to increase consistency and comparability throughout global capital markets and across industries. In February 2017, the FASB issued an additional ASU that provides the accounting treatment for gains and losses from the derecognition of non-financial assets, including the accounting for partial sales of real estate properties.

 

We adopted the revenue recognition and derecognition of non-financial assets standards (collectively “the new revenue recognition standard”) on January 1, 2018, on a modified retrospective basis.

 

Rental revenues and recoveries earned from leasing our operating properties are excluded from this standard and will be assessed with the adoption of the lease ASU discussed below. Our evaluation under the new revenue recognition standard included recurring and

9

 


 

transactional fees and incentive fees (“promotes” or “promote revenues”) earned from our co-investment ventures as well as dispositions and contributions of real estate properties. There is no change in our recognition of recurring and transactional fees as we will continue to recognize these fees as we provide the services. Promote revenues are earned based on a venture’s cumulative returns over a certain time-period and the returns are determined by both the operating performance and real estate valuation of the venture, including highly variable inputs such as capitalization rates, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. As these key inputs are highly volatile and out of our control, and such volatility can materially impact our promotes period over period, we expect promote revenues will continue to be recognized at or near the end of the performance period. Accordingly, we do not expect significant changes in promote revenue recognition as a result of this ASU.

 

For dispositions of real estate properties to third parties, the standard will not impact the recognition of the sale. Beginning January 1, 2018, we recognized the entire gain attributed to contributions of real estate properties to unconsolidated entities. We previously recognized a gain on contribution only to the extent of the third-party ownership in the unconsolidated entity acquiring the property and deferred the portion of the gain related to our ownership. For discussion of net gains on contributions to unconsolidated entities recognized during the three and six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, see Note 2. For deferred gains from partial sales recorded prior to the adoption, we will continue to recognize these gains over the lives of the underlying real estate properties or at the time of disposition to a third party, as discussed in Note 3.

 

We adopted the practical expedient to only assess the recognition of revenue for open contracts during the transition period and there was no adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at January 1, 2018. The comparative information has not been restated and continues to be reported under the accounting standards in effect for that period.

 

New Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Adopted

 

Leases. In February 2016, the FASB issued an ASU that provides the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases.

 

As a lessor. The accounting for lessors will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP; however, the standard requires that lessors expense, on an as-incurred basis, certain initial direct costs that are not incremental in negotiating a lease. Under existing standards, these costs are capitalizable and therefore this new standard will result in certain of these costs being expensed as incurred after adoption. During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we capitalized $10.5 million and $12.4 million, respectively, of internal costs related to our leasing activities. This standard may also impact the timing, recognition, presentation and disclosures related to our rental recoveries from tenants earned from leasing our operating properties, although we do not expect a significant impact.

 

As a lessee. Under the standard, lessees apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases. A lessee is required to record a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months, regardless of their lease classification. We are a lessee of ground leases and office space leases. At December 31, 2017, we had approximately 90 ground and office space leases that will require us to measure and record a ROU asset and a lease liability upon adoption of the standard. There have been no significant changes to our ground and office space leases since December 31, 2017. Details of our future minimum rental payments under these ground and office space leases are disclosed in Note 4 to the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

The standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019. We expect to adopt the practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. By adopting these practical expedients, we will not be required to reassess (i) whether an expired or existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (ii) the lease classification at the adoption date for existing leases; and (iii) whether costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs would continue to be amortized. This allows us to continue to account for our ground and office space leases as operating leases, however, any new or renewed ground leases may be classified as financing leases unless they meet certain conditions to be considered a lease involving facilities owned by a government unit or authority. The standard will also require new disclosures within the accompanying notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements. While we are well into our analysis of the adoption, we will continue to evaluate the key drivers in the measurement of the ROU asset and lease liability and assess the impact the adoption will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements based on industry practice and potential updates to the ASU.

 

Derivatives and Hedging. In August 2017, the FASB issued an ASU that simplifies the application of hedge accounting guidance in current GAAP and improves the reporting of hedging relationships to better portray the economic results of an entity’s risk management activities in its consolidated financial statements. Among the simplification updates, the standard eliminates the requirement in current GAAP to separately recognize periodic hedge ineffectiveness. Mismatches between the changes in value of the hedged item and hedging instrument may still occur but they will no longer be separately reported. The standard requires the presentation of the earnings effect of the hedging instrument in the same income statement line item in which the earnings effect of the hedged item is reported. The standard is effective for us on January 1, 2019, but early adoption is permitted. We do not expect the adoption of this standard to have a material impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 3. UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

 

Summary of Investments

 

We have investments in entities through a variety of ventures. We co-invest in entities that own multiple properties with partners and investors and we provide asset and property management services to these entities, which we refer to as co-investment ventures. These entities may be consolidated or unconsolidated, depending on the structure, our partner’s participation and other rights and our level of control of the entity. This note details our investments in unconsolidated co-investment ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. See Note 6 for more detail regarding our consolidated investments that are not wholly owned.

 

We also have other ventures, generally with one partner and that we do not manage, which we account for using the equity method. We refer to our investments in all entities accounted for using the equity method, both unconsolidated co-investment ventures and other ventures, collectively, as unconsolidated entities.

Prologis’ investment balance is presented at our adjusted basis derived from the ventures’ U.S. GAAP information. The difference between our ownership interest of a venture’s equity and our investment balance at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, results principally from three types of transactions: (i) deferred gains from the contribution of property to a venture prior to January 1, 2018 ($651.8 million and $667.3 million, respectively); (ii) recording additional costs associated with our investment in the venture ($92.4 million and $94.2 million, respectively); and (iii) advances to a venture ($219.9 million and $210.0 million, respectively). For deferred gains from partial sales recorded prior to the adoption the new revenue recognition standard, we will continue to recognize these gains over the lives of the underlying real estate properties or at the time of disposition to a third party.

Represents our weighted average ownership interest in all co-investment ventures based on each entity’s contribution of total assets, before depreciation, net of other liabilities.

Generally, we borrow in the functional currency of the consolidated subsidiaries but we also borrow in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in the OP and may designate this borrowing as a nonderivative financial instrument. We may also hedge our foreign currency risk by designating derivative financial instruments as net investment hedges, as these amounts offset the translation adjustments on the underlying net assets of our foreign investments. See Note 9 for more information about our nonderivative and derivative financial instruments.

Credit Facilities

 

We have a global senior credit facility (the “Global Facility”), under which we may draw in British pounds sterling, Canadian dollars, euro, Japanese yen and U.S. dollars on a revolving basis up to $3.0 billion (subject to currency fluctuations). We have the ability to increase the Global Facility to $3.8 billion, subject to currency fluctuations and obtaining additional lender commitments. Pricing under the Global Facility, including the spread over LIBOR, facility fees and letter of credit fees, varies based on the public debt ratings of the OP. The Global Facility is scheduled to mature in April 2020; however, we may extend the maturity date for six months on two occasions, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of extension fees.

 

We also have a Japanese yen revolver (the “Revolver”) with availability of ¥50.0 billion ($451.7 million at June 30, 2018). We have the ability to increase the Revolver to ¥65.0 billion ($587.2 million at June 30, 2018), subject to obtaining additional lender commitments. Pricing under the Revolver, including the spread over LIBOR, facility fees and letter of credit fees, varies based on the public debt ratings of the OP. The Revolver is scheduled to mature in February 2021; however, we may extend the maturity date for one year, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of extension fees.

 

We refer to the Global Facility and the Revolver, collectively, as our “Credit Facilities.”

Senior Notes

 

In January 2018, we issued €400.0 million ($494.2 million) of senior notes bearing a floating rate of Euribor plus 0.25%, maturing in January 2020. The exchange rate used to calculate into U.S. dollars was the spot rate at the date of the transaction. The effective interest rate was -0.08% at June 30, 2018, primarily due to the amortization of the net premium on the debt. In association with the issuance, we entered into cash flow hedges to effectively fix the interest rate, as discussed in Note 9. Following the issuance, we used the proceeds to pay down our multi-currency term loan (the “2017 Term Loan”) during the first quarter of 2018.

 

In June 2018, we issued $400.0 million of senior notes that bear an interest rate of 3.88% and mature in September 2028 and $300.0 million of senior notes that bear an interest rate of 4.38% and mature in September 2048. Following the issuance, we used the proceeds to pay down our Global Facility in the second quarter of 2018 and our Canadian term loan (the “2015 Canadian Term Loan”) in July 2018.

 

Term Loans

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we borrowed on our Global Facility and paid down CAD 201.4 million ($158.9 million) on the 2015 Canadian Term Loan, leaving CAD $170.5 million ($128.7 million at June 30, 2018) outstanding. In association with the pay down of the 2015 Canadian Term Loan, we terminated our Canadian denominated cash flow hedges in February 2018. See Note 9 for more information.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we paid down $1.0 billion and $575.7 million, and reborrowed $500.0 million and $877.5 million, on our 2017 Term Loan.

Financial Debt Covenants

 

We have $7.1 billion of senior notes and $1.4 billion of term loans outstanding at June 30, 2018 under two separate indentures, as supplemented, that were subject to certain financial covenants. We are also subject to financial covenants under our Credit Facilities and certain secured mortgages. At June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants.

 

Guarantee of Finance Subsidiary Debt

 

In July 2018, we formed a finance subsidiary as part of our European operations, Prologis Euro Finance LLC (“Euro Finance Subsidiary”), that is 100% indirectly owned by the OP. All unsecured debt issued by the Euro Finance Subsidiary will be fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the OP. There are no restrictions or limits on the OP’s ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan. In reliance on Rule 3-10 of Regulation S-X, the separate financial statements of the Euro Finance Subsidiary are not provided.

 

NOTE 6. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

 

Prologis, L.P.

 

We report noncontrolling interests related to several entities we consolidate but of which we do not own 100% of the equity. These entities include two real estate partnerships that have issued limited partnership units to third parties. Depending on the specific partnership agreements, these limited partnership units are redeemable for cash or, at our option into shares of the Parent’s common stock, generally at a rate of one share of common stock to one unit. We also consolidate certain entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity but the equity of these entities is not exchangeable into our common stock.

 

Prologis, Inc.

 

The noncontrolling interests of the Parent include the noncontrolling interests for the OP, as well as the limited partnership units in the OP that are not owned by the Parent.

(1)

This line item includes our two partnerships that have issued limited partnership units to third parties, as discussed above, along with various other consolidated entities. The limited partnership units outstanding at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 were exchangeable into cash or, at our option, 0.9 million and 1.0 million shares of the Parent’s common stock.

 

(2)

We had 8.8 million and 8.9 million Class A Units that were convertible into 8.4 million and 8.5 million limited partnership units of the OP at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, respectively.

 

(3)

At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, excluding the Class A Units, there were limited partnership units in the OP that were exchangeable into cash or, at our option, 3.9 million and 4.1 million shares of the Parent’s common stock, respectively. Also included are the vested OP Long-Term Incentive Plan Units (“LTIP Units”) associated with our long-term compensation plan. See further discussion of LTIP Units in Note 7.

 

NOTE 7. LONG-TERM COMPENSATION

 

Equity-Based Compensation Plans and Programs

 

Prologis Outperformance Plan (“POP”)

 

We allocate participation points to participants under our POP corresponding to three-year performance periods beginning January 1. The fair value of the awards is measured at the grant date and amortized over the period from the grant date to the date at which the awards vest, which range from three to ten years. POP awards are earned to the extent our three-year compound annualized total stockholder return (“TSR”) for the performance period is positive and exceeds the three-year compound annualized TSR for the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) US REIT Index for the same period plus 100 basis points.

 

We granted participation points for the 2018 – 2020 performance period in January 2018, with a fair value of $23.3 million using a Monte Carlo valuation model that assumed a risk-free interest rate of 2.1% and an expected volatility of 16.5%. The 2018 – 2020 performance period has an absolute maximum cap of $100 million. If the award is earned then 20% of the POP award is paid at the end of the performance period and the remaining 80% is subject to additional seven-year cliff vesting. The 20% that is paid at the end of the three-year performance period is subject to an additional three-year holding requirement.

 

The performance criteria were met for the 2015 – 2017 performance period, which resulted in awards being earned at December 31, 2017. An aggregate performance pool of $110.2 million was awarded in January 2018 in the form of 0.6 million shares of common stock and 1.2 million vested LTIP Units.

 

Other Equity-Based Compensation Plans and Programs

 

Our other equity-based compensation plans and programs include (i) the Prologis Promote Plan (“PPP”); (ii) the annual long-term incentive (“LTI”) equity award program (“Annual LTI Award”); and (iii) the annual bonus exchange program. Awards under these plans and programs may be issued in the form of restricted stock units (“RSUs”) or LTIP Units at the participant’s election. RSUs and LTIP Units are valued based on the market price of the Parent’s common stock on the date the award is granted and is charged to compensation expense over the service period. Beginning in February 2018 with awards for PPP and Annual LTI Awards, the service period is four years.

NOTE 8. EARNINGS PER COMMON SHARE OR UNIT

 

 

We determine basic earnings per share or unit based on the weighted average number of shares of common stock or units outstanding during the period. We compute diluted earnings per share or unit based on the weighted average number of shares or units outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average effect from all outstanding potentially dilutive instruments.

 

The computation of our basic and diluted earnings per share and unit was as follows (in thousands, except per share and unit amounts):

NOTE 9. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. We enter into derivative financial instruments to offset these underlying market risks. There have been no significant changes in our policy or strategy from what was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we entered into two interest rate swap contracts with an aggregated notional amount of €400.0 million ($499.7 million) to effectively fix the interest rate on our senior notes bearing a floating rate of Euribor plus 0.25% issued in January 2018.

 

(2)

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we repaid CAD 201.4 million ($158.9 million) on our 2015 Canadian Term Loan, leaving CAD 170.5 million ($128.7 million at June 30, 2018) outstanding. At that time, we settled the interest rate swap contracts related to the 2015 Canadian Term Loan as we determined at that time it was no longer probable that we would continue to have the future cash flows as originally hedged. As a result, the $12.5 million gain in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) “AOCI/L” at the time of settlement was reclassified to Interest Expense during the first quarter of 2018.

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, we had no losses due to hedge ineffectiveness.

We recognized unrealized gains of $64.6 million and $40.3 million in Foreign Currency and Derivative Losses, Net on the unhedged portion of our debt, net of accrued interest, for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. We recognized unrealized losses of $7.2 million and $11.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2017, respectively.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The change in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during the periods presented is due to the translation into U.S. dollars on consolidation of the financial statements of our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar. The change in fair value of the effective portion of our derivative financial instruments that have been designated as net investment hedges and cash flow hedges and the translation of our nonderivative financial instruments as discussed above are also included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

We estimate an additional expense of $4.2 million will be reclassified to Interest Expense over the next 12 months from June 30, 2018, due to the amortization of previously settled derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

There have been no significant changes in our policy from what was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017.

 

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

 

At June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, other than the derivatives discussed previously, we did not have any significant financial assets or financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. All of our derivatives held at June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Fair Value Measurements on Nonrecurring Basis

 

Acquired properties and assets we expect to sell or contribute met the criteria to be measured on a nonrecurring basis at fair value and the lower of their carrying amount or their estimated fair value less the costs to sell, respectively, at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017. At June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, we estimate the fair value of our properties using Level 2 or Level 3 inputs from the fair value hierarchy. See more information on our acquired properties and assets held for sale or contribution in Notes 2 and 4, respectively.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

At June 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017, the carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values.

 

The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value in the table below were the result of differences in interest rates or borrowing spreads that were available to us at June 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or assumed, including reduced borrowing spreads due to our improved credit ratings. The senior notes and many of the issuances of secured mortgages contain pre-payment penalties or yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at lower rates exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so.

NOTE 10. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

Our current business strategy consists of two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital. We generate revenues, net operating income, earnings and cash flows through our segments, as follows:

 

Real Estate Operations. This operating segment represents the ownership and development of operating properties and is the largest component of our revenues and earnings. We collect rent from our customers through operating leases, including reimbursements for the majority of our property operating costs. Each operating property is considered to be an individual operating segment with similar economic characteristics; these properties are combined within the reportable business segment based on geographic location. Our Real Estate Operations segment also includes development activities that lead to rental operations, including land held for development and properties currently under development. Within this line of business, we utilize the following: (i) our land bank; (ii) the development expertise of our local teams; and (iii) our customer relationships. Land we own and lease to customers under ground leases is also included in this segment.

 

Strategic Capital. This operating segment represents the management of unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We generate strategic capital revenues primarily from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures through asset and property management services and we earn additional revenues by providing leasing, acquisition, construction, development, financing, legal and disposition services. Depending on the structure of the venture and the returns provided to our partners, we also earn revenues through promotes periodically during the life of a venture or upon liquidation. Each unconsolidated co-investment venture we manage is considered to be an individual operating segment with similar economic characteristics; these ventures are combined within the reportable business segment based on geographic location.

 

Reconciliations are presented below for: (i) each reportable business segment’s revenues from external customers to Total Revenues; (ii) each reportable business segment’s net operating income from external customers to Operating Income and Earnings Before Income Taxes; and (iii) each reportable business segment’s assets to Total Assets. Our chief operating decision makers rely primarily on net operating income and similar measures to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing segment performance. The applicable components of Total Revenues, Operating Income, Earnings Before Income Taxes and Total Assets are allocated to each reportable business segment’s revenues, net operating income and assets. Items that are not directly assignable to a segment, such as certain corporate income and expenses, are not allocated but reflected as reconciling items. The following reconciliations are presented in thousands:

NOTE 11. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

 

Our significant noncash investing and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017 included the following:

 

We capitalized $14.1 million and $14.0 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively, of equity-based compensation expense resulting from our development and leasing activities.

 

We received $105.4 million and $22.8 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively, of ownership interests in certain unconsolidated co-investment ventures as a portion of our proceeds from the contribution of properties to these entities, as disclosed in Note 2.

 

We formed a consolidated joint venture into which our partner contributed $11.8 million of land in 2018.

 

We issued 0.7 million shares in 2017 of the Parent’s common stock upon redemption of an equal number of common limited partnership units in the OP.

 

We received a $19.5 million note backed by real estate in exchange for the disposition of real estate in 2017.

 

We paid $154.4 million and $188.1 million for interest, net of amounts capitalized, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

We paid $32.3 million and $23.6 million for income taxes, net of refunds, for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

NOTE 12. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

 

Proposed Merger. On April 29, 2018, we entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with DCT Industrial Trust Inc. (“DCT”) and DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP (“DCT OP”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) DCT will merge with and into Prologis, with Prologis surviving the merger (the “Company Merger”) and (ii) immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger, DCT OP will merge with and into the OP, with the OP surviving the merger (the “Partnership Merger” and, together with the Company Merger, the “Mergers”). The estimated purchase price consideration for the Mergers will be approximately $8.2 billion in a stock-for-stock transaction, including the assumption of debt, and is based on the closing price of Prologis' common stock on July 19, 2018. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, at the effective time of the Company Merger, each issued and outstanding share of DCT common stock will be converted automatically into the right to receive 1.02 shares of Prologis common stock and each issued and outstanding common unit of DCT OP will be converted automatically into the right to receive 1.02 common units of the OP. This exchange ratio is fixed and will not be adjusted to reflect changes in the Prologis stock price prior to closing. Changes in the price of Prologis common stock prior to the Mergers will affect the market value of the

25

 


 

merger consideration that DCT stockholders and unitholders will receive on the closing date of the Mergers. After consideration of all applicable factors pursuant to the business combination accounting rules, we concluded the Mergers will be treated as an asset acquisition and as a result the transaction costs will be capitalized to the basis of the acquired properties.

 

On July 9, 2018, the SEC declared the registration statement on Form S-4 for the proposed Mergers effective. Subject to DCT stockholder approval and the other closing conditions described in the Form S-4, the Mergers are expected to be consummated in August 2018.

 

In connection with the Mergers, on July 2, 2018, DCT, DCT OP, DCT’s board of directors (the “DCT Board”), Prologis, and the OP were sued in a putative class action lawsuit, the Rosenblatt Action, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, in connection with DCT's proposed merger with Prologis and the related Form S-4. The complaint in the Rosenblatt Action alleges that DCT, DCT OP, the DCT Board, Prologis, and Prologis OP violated federal securities laws by omitting material information from the Form S-4, rendering the Form S-4 materially deficient. On July 10, 2018, DCT and the DCT Board were sued in another putative class action lawsuit, the Bushansky Action, also filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, and also in connection with DCT's proposed merger with Prologis and the related Form S-4. On July 13, 2018, DCT, DCT OP and the DCT Board were sued in a third putative class action lawsuit, the Aiken Action, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, also in connection with DCT’s proposed merger with Prologis and the related Form S-4. The complaints in the Bushansky Action and the Aiken Action allege that DCT and the DCT Board violated federal securities laws by omitting from the Form S-4, and/or misrepresenting in the Form S-4, material information, rendering the Form S-4 materially deficient. In all three actions, the plaintiffs seek, among other things, (i) to enjoin the transaction (or rescind it to the extent it is completed), and (ii) attorneys' fees and costs in connection with these lawsuits.

 

Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that these lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend against these actions vigorously.

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 1 of this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

The statements in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate as well as management’s beliefs and assumptions. Such statements involve uncertainties that could significantly impact our financial results. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” and “estimates” including variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, development activity, contribution and disposition activity, general conditions in the geographic areas where we operate, our debt, capital structure and financial position, our ability to form new co-investment ventures and the availability of capital in existing or new co-investment ventures — are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained, and therefore actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) national, international, regional and local economic and political climates; (ii) changes in global financial markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; (iii) increased or unanticipated competition for our properties; (iv) risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties; (v) maintenance of real estate investment trust (“REIT”) status, tax structuring and changes in income tax laws and rates; (vi) availability of financing and capital, the levels of debt that we maintain and our credit ratings; (vii) risks related to our investments in our co-investment ventures, including our ability to establish new co-investment ventures; (viii) risks of doing business internationally, including currency risks; (ix) environmental uncertainties, including risks of natural disasters; and (x) those additional factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this report except as may be required by law.

 

Prologis, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed REIT and is the sole general partner of Prologis, L.P. We operate Prologis, Inc. and Prologis, L.P. as one enterprise and, therefore, our discussion and analysis refers to Prologis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Prologis, L.P., collectively. We invest in real estate through wholly owned subsidiaries and other entities through which we co-invest with partners and investors. We maintain a significant level of ownership in these co-investment ventures, which may be consolidated or unconsolidated based on our level of control of the entity.

 

MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW

 

Prologis is the global leader in logistics real estate with a focus on high-barrier, high-growth markets in 19 countries. We own, manage and develop well-located, high-quality logistics facilities in the world’s busiest consumption markets. Our local teams actively manage our portfolio, which encompasses leasing and property management, capital deployment and opportunistic dispositions allowing us to recycle capital to self-fund our development activities. The majority of our properties in the United States (“U.S.”) are wholly owned, while our properties outside the U.S. are generally held in co-investment ventures, reducing our exposure to foreign currency movements.

 

Our portfolio benefits from key drivers of economic activity, including consumption, supply chain modernization, e-commerce and urbanization. In the developed markets of the U.S., Europe and Japan, key factors are the reconfiguration of supply chains (strongly influenced by e-commerce trends), and the operational efficiencies that can be realized from our modern logistics facilities. In emerging markets, such as Brazil, China and Mexico, new affluence and the rise of a new consumer class have increased the need for modern distribution networks. Our strategy is to own the highest-quality logistics property portfolio in each of our target markets. These markets are characterized by large population densities and consumption. They typically offer proximity to large labor pools and are supported by extensive transportation infrastructure (major airports, seaports and rail and highway networks). Customers turn to us because they know an efficient supply chain will make their businesses run better, and that a strategic relationship with Prologis will create a competitive advantage.

 

We operate our business on an owned and managed basis, including properties that we wholly own and properties that are owned by one of our co-investment ventures. We make decisions based on the property operations, regardless of our ownership interest, and therefore we generally evaluate operating metrics on an owned and managed basis.

 

At June 30, 2018, we owned or had investments in, on a wholly-owned basis or through co-investment ventures, properties and development projects (based on gross book value and total expected investment (“TEI”)) totaling $58.6 billion across 685 million square feet (64 million square meters) across four continents. Our investment totaled $33.6 billion and consisted of our wholly-owned properties and our pro rata (or ownership) share of the properties owned by our co-investment ventures. We leased modern logistics facilities to a diverse base of approximately 5,000 customers.

 

29

 


 

Our business comprises two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital.

 

 

REAL ESTATE OPERATIONS

 

STRATEGIC CAPITAL

 

RENTAL

 

Generate revenues, net operating income and cash flows by increasing rents and maintaining high occupancy rates

 

 

DEVELOPMENT

 

Provide significant earnings growth as projects lease up and generate income

 

 

 

Access third-party capital to grow our business and earn fees, including incentive fees, through long-term co-investment ventures

 

 

Real Estate Operations

 

Rental. Rental operations comprise the largest component of our operating segments and generally contribute 90% of our consolidated revenues, earnings and funds from operations (“FFO”) (see below for more information on FFO, a non-GAAP measure). We collect rent from our customers through operating leases, including reimbursements for the majority of our property operating costs. We expect to generate long-term internal growth by increasing rents, maintaining high occupancy rates and controlling expenses. The primary driver of our rent growth will be rolling in-place leases to current market rents. We believe our active portfolio management, coupled with the skills of our property, leasing, maintenance, capital, energy and risk management teams, will allow us to maximize rental revenues across our portfolio. A significant amount of our rental revenues and net operating income (“NOI”) are generated in the U.S.

 

Development. We develop properties to meet our customers’ needs, deepen our market presence and refresh our portfolio quality. We believe we have a competitive advantage due to (i) the strategic locations of our land bank; (ii) the development expertise of our local teams; and (iii) the depth of our customer relationships. Successful development and redevelopment efforts increase both the rental revenues and the net asset value of our Real Estate Operations segment. We measure the development value we create based on the increase in estimated fair value of a stabilized development property, as compared to the costs incurred. We develop properties in the U.S. for long-term hold or contribution to our unconsolidated co-investment venture and outside the U.S. we develop primarily for contribution to our co-investment ventures. Occasionally, we develop for sale to third parties.

 

NOI from this segment is calculated directly from our financial statements as Rental Revenues, Rental Recoveries and Development Management and Other Revenues less Rental Expenses and Other Expenses.

 

Strategic Capital

 

Real estate is a capital-intensive business that requires new capital to grow. Our strategic capital business gives us access to third-party capital, both private and public, allowing us to diversify our sources of capital and providing us with a broad range of options to fund our growth, while reducing our exposure to foreign currency movements for investments outside of the U.S. We partner with some of the world’s largest institutional investors to grow our business and provide incremental revenues, with a focus on long-term and open-ended ventures. We also access alternative sources of equity through two publicly traded vehicles: Nippon Prologis REIT, Inc. in Japan and FIBRA Prologis in Mexico. We align interests with those of our partners by holding significant ownership interests in all of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures (ranging from 15% to 50%).

 

This segment produces stable, long-term cash flows and generally contributes 10% of our consolidated revenues, earnings and FFO. We generate strategic capital revenues from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, principally through asset and property management services, of which 90% are generally earned from long-term and open-ended ventures. We earn additional revenues by providing leasing, acquisition, construction, development, financing, legal and disposition services. In certain ventures, we also have the ability to earn revenues through incentive fees (“promotes” or “promote revenues”) periodically during the life of a venture or upon liquidation. We plan to profitably grow this business by increasing our assets under management in existing or new ventures. Generally, the majority of the strategic capital revenues are generated outside the U.S. NOI in this segment is calculated directly from our financial statements as Strategic Capital Revenues less Strategic Capital Expenses and does not include property-related NOI.

 

FUTURE GROWTH

 

We believe the quality and scale of our global portfolio, the expertise of our team, the depth of our customer relationships and the strength of our balance sheet give us unique competitive advantages. Our plan to grow revenues, NOI, earnings, FFO, and cash flows is based on the following:

 

Rent Growth. We expect market rents to continue to grow over the next few years, driven by demand for the location and quality of our properties. Due to strong market rent growth over the last several years, our in-place leases have considerable upside potential. We estimate that our leases on an aggregate basis are more than 15% below current market rent on the basis of our proportionate economic ownership of each entity included in our owned and managed portfolio at June 30, 2018. Therefore, even if market rents remain flat, a lease renewal will translate into increased future rental income, on a consolidated basis or through the earnings we recognize from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures based on our ownership. This is reflected in the

30

 


 

positive rent change on rollover (comparing the net effective rent of the new lease to the prior lease for the same space) every quarter since 2013. During the first six months of 2018, our net effective rents increased 21.3% on lease rollover that represented approximately 7% of our proportionate economic ownership of each entity included in our owned and managed operating portfolio. We expect this trend to continue for several more years due to our current rents being below market, increasing market rents and the term of our leases.

 

Value Creation from Development. A successful development and redevelopment program involves maintaining control of well-located and entitled land. Based on our current estimates, our consolidated land bank, excluding land we have under an option contract, has the potential to support the development of $7.5 billion of TEI of new logistics space. TEI is the total estimated cost of development or expansion, including land, construction and leasing costs. We believe the carrying value of our land bank is below its current fair value, and we expect to realize this value going forward—primarily through development. During the first six months of 2018, we stabilized consolidated development projects with a TEI of $1.0 billion, and we estimate the value of these buildings to be 35.6% above our cost to develop (defined as estimated margin and calculated using estimated yield and capitalization rates from our underwriting models), while increasing NOI of our operating portfolio. We expect our properties under development at June 30, 2018, to be completed before October 2019.

 

SUMMARY OF 2018

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, operating fundamentals remained strong for our owned and managed operating portfolio and we ended the period with occupancy of 97.4%. See below for the results of our two business segments and details of the operating activity of our owned and managed portfolio.

 

In 2018, we completed the following significant activities as previously described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements:

 

 

We generated net proceeds of $1.1 billion and realized net gains of $289 million from the contribution of properties to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in Europe and Japan and the disposition of non-strategic operating properties primarily in the U.S. Beginning January 1, 2018, we recognized the entire gain attributed to contributions of real estate assets to our unconsolidated entities under the new revenue recognition standard, as discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We previously recognized gains on contributions to the extent of the third-party ownership in the unconsolidated entity acquiring the property.

 

We recognized promotes aggregating $68 million in Strategic Capital Revenues ($50 million net of expenses in the period), primarily from the Prologis China Logistics Venture, an unconsolidated co-investment venture, in the first quarter of 2018.

 

In January, we issued €400 million ($494 million) of senior notes bearing a floating rate of Euribor plus 0.25%, maturing in January 2020. Following the issuance, we used the proceeds to pay down our multi-currency term loan (the “2017 Term Loan”). The effective interest rate was -0.08% at June 30, 2018, primarily due to the amortization of the net premium on the debt.

 

In June, we issued $400 million of senior notes that bear an interest rate of 3.88% and mature in September 2028 and $300 million of senior notes that bear an interest rate of 4.38% and mature in September 2048. Following the issuance, we used the proceeds to pay down our global senior credit facility in the second quarter of 2018 and our Canadian term loan (the “2015 Canadian Term Loan”) in July 2018.

 

On April 29, 2018, we entered into a definitive agreement (the “Merger Agreement”) with DCT Industrial Trust Inc. (“DCT”) and DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP (“DCT OP”), pursuant to which, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (i) DCT will merge with and into Prologis, with Prologis surviving the merger (the “Company Merger”) and (ii) immediately prior to the effective time of the Company Merger, DCT OP will merge with and into the OP, with the OP surviving the merger (the “Partnership Merger” and, together with the Company Merger, the “Mergers”). The estimated purchase price consideration for the Mergers will be approximately $8.2 billion in a stock-for-stock transaction, including the assumption of debt, and is based on the closing price of Prologis' common stock on July 19, 2018. We expect to close on the transaction in August 2018 after the vote of the DCT shareholders. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this subsequent event.

 

Throughout this discussion, we reflect amounts in U.S. dollars, our reporting currency. Included in these amounts are consolidated and unconsolidated investments denominated in foreign currencies, principally the British pound sterling, euro and Japanese yen that are impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates when translated to U.S. dollars. We mitigate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations by investing outside the U.S. through co-investment ventures, borrowing in the functional currency of our consolidated subsidiaries, borrowing in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in the OP (designated as a nonderivative financial instrument) and utilizing derivative financial instruments.

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017

 

We evaluate our business operations based on the NOI of our two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital. NOI by segment is a non-GAAP financial measure that is calculated using revenues and expenses directly from our financial statements. We consider NOI by segment to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance because it helps management and investors understand the core operations of our real estate assets.

Real Estate Operations

 

This operating segment principally includes rental revenues, rental recoveries and rental expenses recognized from our consolidated properties. We allocate the costs of our property management functions to the Real Estate Operations segment through Rental Expenses and the Strategic Capital segment through Strategic Capital Expenses based on the square footage of the relative portfolios as compared to our total owned and managed portfolio. The operating fundamentals in the markets in which we operate continue to be strong, which has driven rents higher, kept occupancies high and has fueled development activity. This segment is impacted by our development, acquisition and disposition activities.

The change in Real Estate Operations NOI for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from the same period in 2017, was impacted by the following items (in millions):

 

 

(1)

We experienced increased occupancy and positive rent rate growth in 2018 compared to 2017. Rent rate growth (or rent change) is a combination of the rollover of existing leases and increases in certain rental rates from contractual rent increases on existing leases. If a lease has a contractual rent increase that is not known at the time the lease commences, such as the consumer price index or a similar metric, the rent increase is not included in rent leveling and therefore, would impact the rental revenues we recognize. See below for key metrics on occupancy and rent change on rollover for the consolidated operating portfolio.

 

(2)

Contribution and disposition activity decreased NOI from this segment in 2018, compared to 2017, primarily due to the contribution of the Prologis North American Industrial Fund (“NAIF”) operating properties to Prologis Targeted U.S. Logistics Fund (“USLF”) in July 2017.

 

(3)

Other items include recoveries, noncash adjustments for the amortization of above or below market leases, non-recoverable expenses, termination fees and changes in foreign currency rates.

 

32

 


 

Below are key operating metrics of our consolidated operating portfolio. Beginning January 1, 2018, we modified certain definitions of our operating metrics to align methodologies with members of the industrial REIT group. These changes were retroactively applied for all prior periods presented.

Capital Expenditures

 

We capitalize costs incurred in renovating and improving our operating properties as part of the investment basis. The following graph summarizes our capital expenditures on operating properties within our consolidated operating portfolio:

 

 

Strategic Capital

 

This operating segment includes revenues from asset and property management and other fees for services performed, as well as promotes earned, from the unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Revenues associated with the Strategic Capital segment fluctuate because of the size of co-investment ventures under management, the transactional activity in the ventures and the timing of promotes. These revenues are reduced generally by the direct costs associated with the asset management and property-level management expenses for the properties owned by these ventures. We allocate the costs of our property management functions to the Strategic Capital segment through Strategic Capital Expenses and to the Real Estate Operations segment through Rental Expenses based on the square footage of the relative portfolios as compared to our total owned and managed portfolio.

G&A Expenses

 

G&A expenses increased for the six months ended June 30, 2018, from the same period in 2017, principally due to inflationary increases and higher compensation expenses based on the Company’s performance.

 

We capitalize certain costs directly related to our development and leasing activities. Capitalized G&A expenses included salaries and related costs, as well as other G&A costs. The following table summarizes capitalized G&A amounts for the six months ended June 30 (dollars in millions):

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

 

The change in depreciation and amortization expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018 from the same period in 2017, was impacted by the following items (in millions):

 

 

(1)

The decrease in depreciation and amortization expense in 2018 from 2017 was primarily due to the contribution of the NAIF operating properties to USLF in July 2017.

 

Our Owned and Managed Operating Portfolio

 

We manage our business and review our operating fundamentals on an owned and managed basis, which includes properties wholly owned by us or owned by one of our co-investment ventures. We believe reviewing these fundamentals this way allows management to understand the entire impact to the financial statements, as it will affect both the Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital segments, as well as the net earnings we recognize from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures based on our ownership share. We do not control the unconsolidated co-investment ventures for purposes of GAAP and the presentation of the ventures’ operating information does not represent a legal claim to such items.

 

35

 


 

Our owned and managed operating portfolio does not include our development portfolio, value-added properties or properties held for sale to third parties. Value-added properties are defined as properties that are expected to be repurposed or redeveloped to a higher and better use and recently acquired properties that present opportunities to create greater value.

Below are the key operating metrics summarizing the leasing activity of our owned and managed operating portfolio. Beginning January 1, 2018, we modified certain definitions of our operating metrics to align methodologies with members of the industrial REIT group. These changes were retroactively applied for all prior periods presented.

 

 

 

(1)

Square feet of leases commenced and weighted average rent change were calculated for leases with initial terms of one year or greater during each quarter in 2017 and 2018. We retained more than 70% of our customers, based on the total square feet of leases commenced during these periods.

 

(2)

Calculated using the trailing twelve months immediately prior to the period ended.

 

(3)

Turnover costs are defined as leasing commissions and tenant improvements and represent the obligations incurred in connection with the lease commencement for leases greater than one year.

 

Same Store Analysis

 

Our same store metrics are non-GAAP financial measures, which are commonly used in the real estate industry and expected from the financial community, on both a net-effective and cash basis. We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a “same store” analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, which allows us to analyze our ongoing business operations.

 

We define our same store population for the three months ended June 30, 2018 as our owned and managed properties that were in the operating portfolio at January 1, 2017 and owned throughout the end of the same three-month period in both 2018 and 2017. The same store population excludes non-industrial real estate properties and properties held for sale, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period (January 1, 2017) and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. Beginning January 1, 2018, we modified our definition of same store to align methodologies with members of the industrial REIT group. This did not materially change our historical amounts reported. To derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the reported period end exchange rate to translate from local currency into the U.S. dollar, for both periods. We believe the factors that affect rental revenues, rental recoveries, rental expenses and NOI in the same store portfolio are generally the same as for our consolidated portfolio.

 

As our same store measures are non-GAAP financial measures, they have certain limitations as analytical tools and may vary among real estate companies. As a result, we provide a reconciliation of rental revenues, rental recoveries and rental expenses from our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with GAAP to same store property NOI with explanations of how these metrics are calculated. In addition, we further remove certain noncash items (straight-line rent adjustments and amortization of lease intangibles) included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP to reflect a cash same store number. To clearly label these metrics, they are categorized as same store portfolio NOI – net effective and same store portfolio NOI – cash.

We include 100% of the same store NOI from the properties in our same store portfolio. During the periods presented, certain properties owned by us were contributed to a co-investment venture and are included in the same store portfolio. Neither our consolidated results nor those of the co-investment ventures, when viewed individually, would be comparable on a same store basis because of the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (e.g. the results of a contributed property are included in our consolidated results through the contribution date and in the results of the unconsolidated entities subsequent to the contribution date). As a result, only line items labeled “same store portfolio” are comparable period over period.

 

(2)

We exclude non-industrial real estate properties and properties held for sale, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the reporting period and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. We also exclude net termination and renegotiation fees to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each property’s rental revenues without regard to one-time items that are not indicative of the property’s recurring operating performance. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease, offset by the write-off of the asset recorded due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term.

 

(3)

Rental expenses include the direct operating expenses of the property such as property taxes, insurance and utilities. In addition, we include an allocation of the property management expenses for our consolidated properties based on the property management services provided to each property (generally, based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, these amounts are eliminated and the actual costs of providing property management services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expenses.

 

Other Components of Income (Expense)

 

Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net

 

We recognized net earnings from unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method, of $125 million and $117 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017, respectively. The earnings we recognize can be impacted by: (i) variances in NOI and other revenues and expenses of each venture; (ii) the size and occupancy rate of the portfolio of properties owned by each venture; (iii) gains or losses from the dispositions of properties and extinguishment of debt; (iv) our ownership interest in each venture; and (v) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate our share of net earnings to U.S. dollars.

Our overall debt decreased by $1.7 billion from June 30, 2017 to June 30, 2018, primarily from USLF assuming secured debt in conjunction with our contribution of real estate properties in July 2017. Gross interest expense decreased for the six months ended 2018, from the same period in 2017, principally due to decreased secured debt as a result of the USLF contribution, lower interest rates due to the change in the composition of our senior notes and term loans and the settlement of the interest rate swaps on the 2015 Canadian Term Loan.

 

See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below, for further discussion of our debt and borrowing costs.

 

Gains on Dispositions of Investments in Real Estate, Net

 

During the six months ended June 30, 2018, and 2017, we recognized net gains on dispositions of investments in real estate of $289 million and $180 million, respectively. We contributed properties, generally that we developed, to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in Europe in 2018 and 2017 and in Japan in 2018. We also sold properties to third parties, primarily from our operating portfolio in the U.S. During the six months ended June 30, 2017, we sold our investment in Europe Logistics Venture 1 (“ELV”) to our venture partner and contributed properties to our newly formed co-investment venture Prologis UK Logistics Venture. We utilized the proceeds from both contributions and dispositions to fund our capital investments in both periods.

 

Beginning January 1, 2018, we recognized the entire gain attributed to contributions of real estate properties to unconsolidated entities under the new revenue recognition standard, as discussed in Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We previously recognized a gain in connection with contributions to the extent of the third-party ownership in the unconsolidated entity acquiring the property. For deferred gains from partial sales recorded prior to the adoption, we will continue to recognize these gains over the lives of the underlying real estate properties or at the time of disposition to a third party.

 

See Notes 2 and 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the gains we recognized.

See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our derivative transactions.

Gains (Losses) on Early Extinguishment of Debt, Net

 

During the second quarter of 2017, we redeemed $618 million of senior notes and repaid $302 million of secured mortgage debt prior to maturity, which resulted in a loss of $31 million.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

We recognize income tax expense related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries and the local, state and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Our current income tax expense fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our taxable income. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences and the utilization of net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets in taxable subsidiaries operating in the U.S. or in foreign jurisdictions.

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted on December 22, 2017, reduced the corporate federal tax rate in the U.S. to 21.0%, effective upon enactment. As such deferred tax assets and liabilities were remeasured using the lower corporate federal tax rate beginning December 31, 2017. While we do not expect other material impacts, the new rules are complex and lack developed administrative guidance; thus, the impact of certain aspects of these provisions on us is currently unclear.

 

Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

 

This amount represents the third-party investors’ share of the earnings generated in consolidated entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity, reduced by the third-party share of fees or promotes payable to us and earned during the period. We had net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests of $53 million and $35 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. Included in these amounts were $21 million and $13 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively, of net earnings attributable to the common limited partnership unitholders of Prologis, L.P.

 

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our noncontrolling interests.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our derivative transactions and other comprehensive income (loss).

 

Other Matters

 

The U.S. government has created the potential for significant changes in trade policies, including tariffs and government regulations affecting trade between the U.S. and other countries where we operate. The foreign trade policies, tariffs and other impositions on imported goods by the U.S. or other countries are beyond our control. We believe that our customers are moving forward with their growth plans and we do not expect these tariffs will materially change the consumption habits that drive our business globally. However, increased sanctions are generally negative for all businesses in the U.S. and abroad, including our business, and could adversely affect economic growth generally and our financial performance.

 

39

 


 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – THREE MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2018 AND 2017

 

Except as separately discussed above, the changes in comprehensive income attributable to common stockholders and its components for the three months ended June 30, 2018, as compared to the three months ended June 30, 2017, are similar to the changes for the six-month periods ended on the same dates.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Overview

 

We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, distributions from our co-investment ventures, contributions and dispositions of properties and available financing sources to be adequate to meet our anticipated future development, acquisition, operating, debt service, dividend and distribution requirements.

 

Near-Term Principal Cash Sources and Uses

 

In addition to dividends and distributions, we expect our primary cash needs will consist of the following:

 

completion of the development and leasing of the properties in our consolidated development portfolio (at June 30, 2018, 83 properties in our development portfolio were 51.8% leased with a current investment of $1.7 billion and a TEI of $2.9 billion when completed and leased, leaving $1.2 billion of estimated additional required investment);

 

development of new properties for long-term investment or contributions to unconsolidated co-investment ventures, including the acquisition of land in certain markets;

 

capital expenditures and leasing costs on properties in our operating portfolio;

 

repayment of debt and scheduled principal payments of $109 million in 2018;

 

additional investments in current unconsolidated entities or new investments in future unconsolidated entities;

 

acquisition of operating properties or portfolios of operating properties (depending on market and other conditions) for direct, long-term investment in our consolidated portfolio (this might include acquisitions from our co-investment ventures);

 

repurchase of our outstanding debt or equity securities (depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity, contractual restrictions and other factors) through cash purchases, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise; and

 

as discussed earlier, we expect to close on the acquisition of DCT in August principally through the issuance of common stock and the assumption of debt. We expect to repay certain of this debt with available cash, borrowings under our credit facilities and proceeds from the issuance of debt.

 

We expect to fund our cash needs principally from the following sources (subject to market conditions):

 

available unrestricted cash balances ($528 million at June 30, 2018);

 

net cash flow from property operations;

 

fees earned for services performed on behalf of the co-investment ventures, including promotes;

 

distributions received from the co-investment ventures;

 

proceeds from the disposition of properties, land parcels or other investments to third parties;

 

proceeds from the contributions of properties to current or future co-investment ventures;

 

proceeds from the sale of a portion of our investments in co-investment ventures to achieve long-term ownership targets;

 

borrowing capacity under our current credit facility arrangements, other facilities or borrowing arrangements ($3.4 billion available at June 30, 2018); and

 

proceeds from the issuance of debt.

 

We may also generate proceeds from the issuance of equity securities, subject to market conditions.

(1)This activity included a partial pay down on the debt outstanding.

 

At June 30, 2018, we had credit facilities with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $3.5 billion, of which $3.4 billion was available for borrowing.

 

Our credit ratings at June 30, 2018, were A3 from Moody’s and A- from S&P, both with stable outlook. These ratings allow us to borrow at an advantageous rate. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively impact our business and, in particular, our refinancing and other capital market activities, our ability to manage debt maturities, our future growth and our development and acquisition activity. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization.

 

At June 30, 2018, we were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants. These covenants include customary financial covenants for total debt, encumbered debt and fixed charge coverage ratios.

 

See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our debt.

 

Equity Commitments Related to Certain Co-Investment Ventures

 

Certain co-investment ventures have equity commitments from us and our venture partners. Our venture partners fulfill their equity commitment with cash. We may fulfill our equity commitment through contributions of properties or cash. See the Cash Flow Summary below for more information about our investment activity in our co-investment ventures. For more information on equity commitments for our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, see Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Operating Activities

 

Cash provided by operating activities, exclusive of changes in receivables and payables, is impacted by the following significant activity during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

 

Real estate operations. We receive the majority of our operating cash through the net revenues of our Real Estate Operations segment. See the Results of Operations section above for further explanation of our Real Estate Operations segment. The revenues from this segment include noncash adjustments for straight-lined rents and amortization of above and below market leases of $26 million and $49 million for 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Strategic capital. We also generate operating cash through our Strategic Capital segment by providing management services to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. See the Strategic Capital Results of Operations section above for the key drivers of our strategic capital revenues and expenses. Included in Strategic Capital Revenues is the third-party investors’ share of the total promote revenue, which is recognized in operating activities in the period it is received.

 

G&A expenses. We incurred $120 million and $114 million of G&A costs in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Equity-based compensation awards. We record equity-based compensation expenses in Rental Expenses in the Real Estate Operations segment, Strategic Capital Expenses in the Strategic Capital segment and G&A expenses. The total amounts expensed were $39 million and $38 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Operating distributions from unconsolidated entities. We received $176 million and $141 million of distributions from our unconsolidated entities in 2018 and 2017, respectively. Certain co-investment ventures distribute the total promote (third-party investors’ and our share) and our share is recorded to Investment In and Advances to Unconsolidated Entities, and is recognized in operating activities in the period it is received.

 

Cash paid for interest and income taxes. As disclosed in Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we paid combined amounts for interest and income taxes of $187 million and $212 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash provided by investing activities is primarily driven by proceeds from contributions and dispositions of real estate properties. Cash used in investing activities is principally driven by our investments in real estate development, acquisitions and capital expenditures. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these real estate activities. The following significant transactions impacted our cash used in investing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

 

Real estate development. We invested $789 million and $715 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively, in real estate development and leasing costs for first generation space. We had 63 properties under development and 20 properties that were completed but not stabilized at June 30, 2018.

 

Real estate acquisitions. We acquired total real estate of $289 million, which included 808 acres of land and 3 operating properties in 2018. We acquired total real estate of $202 million, which included 524 acres of land and 2 operating properties in 2017.

 

Investments in and advances to. We invested cash in our unconsolidated co-investment ventures and other ventures, which represents our proportionate share of $83 million and $145 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively. The ventures use the funds for the acquisition of operating properties, development and repayment of debt. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on our unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

 

Return of investment. We received distributions from unconsolidated co-investment ventures and other ventures as a return of investment of $135 million and $134 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively. Included in these amounts for 2018 and 2017 was $115 million and $49 million from property dispositions within our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. In 2017, we also included $84 million from the disposition of our investment in ELV.

 

42

 


 

Proceeds from repayment of notes receivable backed by real estate. We received $34 million and $32 million in 2018 and 2017, respectively, for the payment of notes receivable received in connection with dispositions of real estate to third parties.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by financing activities is primarily driven by proceeds from the issuance of debt. Cash used in financing activities is principally driven by dividends paid on common and preferred units, noncontrolling interest distributions and payments of debt and credit facilities. The following significant transactions impacted our cash used in financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017:

 

Settlement of noncontrolling interests. We paid net cash of $710 million to acquire our partner’s interest in NAIF and $80 million to acquire our partner’s interest in the Prologis Brazil Logistics Partners Fund I, L.P. in 2017.

 

Other debt activity. Our repurchase of and payments on debt and proceeds from issuance of debt consisted of the following activity for the six months ended June 30 (in millions):

 

 

 

2018

 

 

2017

 

 

Repurchase of and payments on debt (including extinguishment costs)

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Unconsolidated Co-Investment Venture Debt

 

We had investments in and advances to unconsolidated co-investment ventures, at June 30, 2018, of $5.2 billion. These ventures had total third-party debt of $8.1 billion at June 30, 2018. The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for all unconsolidated co-investment ventures was 27.8% at June 30, 2018. Loan-to-value, a non-GAAP measure, was calculated as the percentage of total third-party debt to the gross book value of real estate for each venture and weighted based on the cumulative gross book value of all unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

 

At June 30, 2018, we did not guarantee any third-party debt of the unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Dividend and Distribution Requirements

 

Our dividend policy on our common stock is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure that we will meet the dividend requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, relative to maintaining our REIT status, while still allowing us to retain cash to fund capital improvements and other investment activities.

 

Under the Internal Revenue Code, REITs may be subject to certain federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed taxable income. We do not expect the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, enacted on December 22, 2017, to modify our current distribution policy.

 

We paid a cash dividend of $0.48 per common share in the first two quarters of 2018. Our future common stock dividends, if and as declared, may vary and will be determined by the board of directors (“Board”) upon the circumstances prevailing at the time, including our financial condition, operating results and REIT distribution requirements, and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year.

 

We make distributions on the common limited partnership units outstanding at the same per unit amount as our common stock dividend. The Class A Units in the OP are entitled to a quarterly distribution equal to $0.64665 per unit so long as the common units receive a quarterly distribution of at least $0.40 per unit. We paid a quarterly distribution of $0.64665 per Class A Unit in the first two quarters of 2018.

 

43

 


 

At June 30, 2018, we had one series of preferred stock outstanding, the series Q. The annual dividend rate is 8.54% per share and dividends are payable quarterly in arrears.

 

Pursuant to the terms of our preferred stock, we are restricted from declaring or paying any dividend with respect to our common stock unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the preferred stock have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the relevant dividend period with respect to the preferred stock.

 

Other Commitments

 

On a continuing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition or disposition of individual properties or portfolios of properties.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS/UNITHOLDERS (“FFO”)

 

FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings.

 

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated properties. We also exclude the gains on revaluation of equity investments upon acquisition of a controlling interest and the gain recognized from a partial sale of our investment, as these are similar to gains from the sales of previously depreciated properties. We exclude similar adjustments from our unconsolidated entities and the third parties’ share of our consolidated co-investment ventures.

 

Our FFO Measures

 

Our FFO measures begin with NAREIT’s definition and we make certain adjustments to reflect our business and the way that management plans and executes our business strategy. While not infrequent or unusual, the additional items we adjust for in calculating FFO, as modified by Prologis, and Core FFO, both as defined below, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period. Although these items may have a material impact on our operations and are reflected in our financial statements, the removal of the effects of these items allows us to better understand the core operating performance of our properties over the long term. These items have both positive and negative short-term effects on our results of operations in inconsistent and unpredictable directions that are not relevant to our long-term outlook.

 

We calculate our FFO measures, as defined below, based on our proportionate ownership share of both our unconsolidated and consolidated ventures. We reflect our share of our FFO measures for unconsolidated ventures by applying our average ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our FFO measures to remove the noncontrolling interests share of the applicable reconciling items based on our average ownership percentage for the applicable periods.

 

These FFO measures are used by management as supplemental financial measures of operating performance and we believe that it is important that stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand the measures management uses. We do not use our FFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance, as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.

 

We analyze our operating performance principally by the rental revenues of our real estate and the revenues from our strategic capital business, net of operating, administrative and financing expenses. This income stream is not directly impacted by fluctuations in the market value of our investments in real estate or debt securities.

 

FFO, as modified by Prologis attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“FFO, as modified by Prologis”)

 

To arrive at FFO, as modified by Prologis, we adjust the NAREIT defined FFO measure to exclude the impact of foreign currency related items and deferred tax, specifically:

 

deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries;

 

current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income tax benefit in earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure;

 

unhedged foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from debt transactions between us and our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated entities;

44

 


 

 

foreign currency exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement (based on current foreign currency exchange rates) of certain third-party debt of our foreign consolidated and unconsolidated entities; and

 

mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative financial instruments.

 

We use FFO, as modified by Prologis, so that management, analysts and investors are able to evaluate our performance against other REITs that do not have similar operations or operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S.

 

Core FFO attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“Core FFO”)

 

In addition to FFO, as modified by Prologis, we also use Core FFO. To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust FFO, as modified by Prologis, to exclude the following recurring and nonrecurring items that we recognized directly in FFO, as modified by Prologis:

 

gains or losses from the disposition of land and development properties that were developed with the intent to contribute or sell;

 

income tax expense related to the sale of investments in real estate;

 

impairment charges recognized related to our investments in real estate generally as a result of our change in intent to contribute or sell these properties;

 

gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt and redemption and repurchase of preferred stock; and

 

expenses related to natural disasters.

 

We use Core FFO, including by segment and region, to: (i) assess our operating performance as compared to other real estate companies; (ii) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods; (iii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iv) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (v) provide guidance to the financial markets to understand our expected operating performance; and (vi) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results.

 

Limitations on the use of our FFO measures

 

While we believe our modified FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREIT’s nor our measures of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant economic components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Accordingly, these are only a few of the many measures we use when analyzing our business. Some of the limitations are:

 

The current income tax expenses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures represent the taxes and transaction costs that are payable.

 

Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are excluded from FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Furthermore, the amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of logistics facilities are not reflected in FFO.

 

Gains or losses from non-development property dispositions and impairment charges related to expected dispositions represent changes in value of the properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO does not capture realized changes in the value of disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions.

 

The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have to be settled at some future point. Our modified FFO measures do not currently reflect any income or expense that may result from such settlement.

 

The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO measures are limited in that they do not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements.

 

The gains and losses on extinguishment of debt or preferred stock that we exclude from our Core FFO, may provide a benefit or cost to us as we may be settling our obligation at less or more than our future obligation.

 

The natural disaster expenses that we exclude from Core FFO are costs that we have incurred.

45

 


 

 

We compensate for these limitations by using our FFO measures only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP when making our decisions. This information should be read with our complete Consolidated Financial Statements prepared under GAAP. To assist investors in compensating for these limitations, we reconcile our modified FFO measures to our net earnings computed under GAAP for six months ended June 30 as follows (in millions):

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to the impact of foreign exchange-related variability and earnings volatility on our foreign investments and interest rate changes. See our risk factors in Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2017. See also Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more information about our derivative financial instruments.

 

We monitor our market risk exposures using a sensitivity analysis. Our sensitivity analysis estimates the exposure to market risk sensitive instruments assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse change in foreign currency exchange rates or interest rates at June 30, 2018. The results of the sensitivity analysis are summarized in the following sections. The sensitivity analysis is of limited predictive value. As a result, revenues and expenses, as well as our ultimate realized gains or losses with respect to foreign currency exchange rate and interest rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during a future period, hedging strategies at the time and the prevailing foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange variability related to investments in and earnings from our foreign investments. Foreign currency market risk is the possibility that our results of operations or financial position could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We primarily hedge our foreign currency risk by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest. Generally, we borrow in the functional currency of the consolidated subsidiaries but we also borrow in currencies other than the U.S. dollar in the OP and may designate this borrowing as a nonderivative financial instrument. We may also hedge our foreign currency risk by designating derivative financial instruments as net investment hedges, as these amounts offset the translation adjustments on the underlying net assets of our foreign investments. Other foreign currency contracts, such as forwards, not designated as hedges reduce fluctuations in foreign currency associated with the translation of our projected net operating income of our international subsidiaries.

 

At June 30, 2018, after consideration of our nonderivative and derivative financial instruments, we had net equity of approximately $694 million denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar representing 3.7% of total net equity. Based on our sensitivity analysis, a 10% strengthening of the U.S. dollar against other currencies would cause a reduction of $69 million to our net equity.

 

46

 


 

At June 30, 2018, we had foreign currency forward contracts, which were designated and qualify as net investment hedges, with an aggregate notional amount of $135 million to hedge a portion of our investments in Canada and Europe. On the basis of our sensitivity analysis, a weakening of the U.S. dollar against the Canadian dollar or Euro by 10% would result in a $13 million negative change in our cash flows on settlement. In addition, we also have British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, euro and Japanese yen forward contracts, which were not designated as hedges, and have an aggregate notional amount of $528 million to mitigate risk associated with the translation of the projected earnings of our subsidiaries in Canada, Europe and Japan. A weakening of the U.S. dollar against these currencies by 10% would result in a $53 million negative change in our net income and cash flows on settlement of these contracts.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We also are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes on future earnings and cash flows. At June 30, 2018, we had $1.7 billion of variable rate debt outstanding, of which $1.2 billion was term loans, $466 million was senior notes, $12 million was credit facilities and $50 million was secured mortgages. At June 30, 2018, we had interest rate swap agreements to fix our floating rate euro senior notes. On the basis of our sensitivity analysis, a 10% adverse change in interest rates based on our average outstanding variable rate debt balances not subject to interest rate swap agreements during the period would result in additional annual interest expense of $2 million, which equates to a change in interest rates of 12 basis points.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Controls and Procedures (The Parent)

 

The Parent carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c)) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) at June 30, 2018. On the basis of this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms.

 

Controls and Procedures (The OP)

 

The OP carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c)) under the Exchange Act at June 30, 2018. On the basis of this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.

 

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. Legal Proceedings

 

In connection with the Mergers, on July 2, 2018, DCT, DCT OP, DCT’s board of directors (the “DCT Board”), Prologis, and the OP were sued in a putative class action lawsuit, the Rosenblatt Action, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, in connection with DCT's proposed merger with Prologis and the related Form S-4. The complaint in the Rosenblatt Action alleges that DCT, DCT OP, the DCT Board, Prologis, and Prologis OP violated federal securities laws by omitting material information from the Form S-4, rendering the Form S-4 materially deficient. On July 10, 2018, DCT and the DCT Board were sued in another putative class action lawsuit, the Bushansky Action, also filed in the United States District Court for the District of Colorado, and also in connection with DCT's proposed merger with Prologis and the related Form S-4. On July 13, 2018, DCT, DCT OP and the DCT Board were sued in a third putative class action lawsuit, the Aiken Action, filed in the United States District Court for the District of Maryland, also in connection with DCT’s proposed merger with Prologis and the related Form S-4. The complaints in the Bushansky Action and the Aiken Action allege that DCT and the DCT Board violated federal securities laws by omitting from the Form S-4, and/or misrepresenting in the Form S-4, material information, rendering the Form S-4 materially deficient. In all three actions, the plaintiffs seek, among other things, (i) to enjoin the transaction (or rescind it to the extent it is completed), and (ii) attorneys' fees and costs in connection with these lawsuits.

 

Although the ultimate outcome of litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we believe that these lawsuits are without merit and intend to defend against these actions vigorously.

 

In addition, Prologis and our unconsolidated investees are party to a variety of other legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. With respect to any such matters to which we are currently a party, the ultimate disposition of any such matters will not result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.
