EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2021, 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 March 31, 2021, the Parent owned 97.25% common general partnership interest in the OP and 100% of the preferred units in the OP. The remaining 2.75% 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 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” or “IRC”), 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 key markets in 19 countries on four continents. 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 and other ventures. See Note 11 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 March 31, 2021, the Parent owned a 97.25% common general partnership interest in the OP and 100% of the preferred units in the OP. The remaining 2.75% common limited partnership interests, which include 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 Statements of Equity of the Parent and Reallocation of Capital in the Consolidated Statements 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. 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, 2020, as filed with the SEC, and other public information.

 

Reclassifications. Lease right-of-use assets and lease liabilities have been reclassified in the Consolidated Financial Statements for 2020 to Other Assets and Other Liabilities, respectively, in order to conform to the 2021 financial statement presentation.

 

NOTE 2. LIBERTY TRANSACTION

 

On February 4, 2020, we acquired Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership (collectively “Liberty” or the “Liberty Transaction”).

 

The Liberty Transaction was completed for $13.0 billion through the issuance of equity based on the value of the Prologis common stock and units issued of $10.0 billion, the assumption of debt of $2.8 billion and transaction costs. In connection with the transaction, each issued and outstanding share or unit held by a Liberty stockholder or unitholder was converted automatically into 0.675 shares of Prologis common stock or common units of Prologis, L.P., respectively, including shares and units under Liberty’s equity incentive plan that became fully vested at closing.

11

 


Index

 

 

Through the Liberty Transaction, we acquired a portfolio primarily comprised of logistics real estate assets, including 519 industrial operating properties, aggregating 99.6 million square feet, which are highly complementary to our U.S. portfolio in terms of product quality, location and growth potential in our key markets.  

 

The aggregate equity consideration is calculated below (in millions, except price per share):

We accounted for the Liberty Transaction as an asset acquisition and as a result, the transaction costs of $115.8 million were capitalized to the basis of the acquired properties. Transaction costs included investment banker advisory fees, legal fees and other costs.

 

Under acquisition accounting, the total purchase price was allocated to the Liberty real estate properties and related lease intangibles on a relative fair value basis. All other assets acquired and liabilities assumed, including debt, and real estate assets that we do not intend to operate long-term are recorded at fair value as follows (in millions):

On January 8, 2020, our two U.S. co-investment ventures, Prologis Targeted U.S. Logistics Fund, L.P. (“USLF”) and Prologis U.S. Logistics Venture, LLC (“USLV”), acquired the wholly-owned real estate assets of Industrial Property Trust Inc. (“IPT”) for $2.0 billion each in a cash transaction, including transaction costs and the assumption and repayment of debt (the “IPT Transaction”). As USLV is a consolidated co-investment venture, the number of operating properties, square feet and acquisition cost are included in the consolidated acquisition activity.

The gains we recognize in Gains on Dispositions of Development Properties and Land, Net are primarily driven by the contribution of newly developed properties to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

 

Leases

 

We recognized lease right-of-use assets of $462.8 million and $492.8 million within Other Assets and lease liabilities of $458.7 million and $487.0 million within Other Liabilities, for land and office space leases in which we are the lessee, on the Consolidated Balance Sheets at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, respectively.

 

NOTE 4. 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 related parties and accounted for using the equity method of accounting. See Note 7 for more detail regarding our consolidated investments that are not wholly owned.

 

We also have investments in other ventures, generally with one partner, which we account for using the equity method. We refer to our investments in 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, resulted principally from four types of transactions: (i) deferred gains from the contribution of property to a venture prior to January 1, 2018; (ii) recording additional costs associated with our investment in the venture; (iii) receivables, principally for fees and promotes ($143.7 million and $165.6 million, respectively); and (iv) customer security deposits retained subsequent to property contributions to Nippon Prologis REIT, Inc.

Equity Commitments Related to Certain Unconsolidated Co-Investment Ventures

 

At March 31, 2021, our outstanding equity commitments were $341.2 million, principally for Prologis China Logistics Venture. The equity commitments expire from 2021 to 2028 if they have not been previously called.

 

NOTE 5. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE OR CONTRIBUTION

 

We had investments in certain real estate properties that met the criteria to be classified as held for sale or contribution at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020. At the time of classification, these properties were expected to be sold to third parties or were recently stabilized and expected to be contributed to unconsolidated co-investment ventures within twelve months. The amounts included in Assets Held for Sale or Contribution represented real estate investment balances and the related assets and liabilities for each property.

 

Assets held for sale or contribution, including certain properties acquired through the Liberty Transaction and the IPT Transaction, consisted of the following (dollars and square feet in thousands):

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, Mexican pesos and U.S. dollars on a revolving basis up to $3.5 billion (subject to currency fluctuations). Pricing under

Index

 

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 January 2023; 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 have the ability to increase the Global Facility to $4.5 billion, subject to currency fluctuations and obtaining additional lender commitments.

 

We also have a Japanese yen revolver (the “Revolver”) with total commitments of ¥55.0 billion ($496.4 million at March 31, 2021). We have the ability to increase the borrowing capacity of the Revolver to ¥75.0 billion ($676.9 million at March 31, 2021), 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. At March 31, 2021, the Revolver was scheduled to mature in July 2024; 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.”

        

In April 2021, we entered into a second global senior credit facility under which we may draw in various currencies on a revolving basis in an aggregate amount up to $1.0 billion (subject to currency fluctuations). The second global senior credit facility is scheduled to mature in April 2024, subject to extension options.

Early Extinguishment of Debt

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $187.5 million and $42.8 million of losses on the early extinguishment of debt, respectively. The losses during both periods were driven by the redemption of certain high interest rate senior notes before their stated maturity. We redeemed $1.5 billion of senior notes with stated maturities of 2024 and 2025, and $783.1 million of senior notes with a stated maturity of 2021, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The losses in 2020 included the extinguishment of debt assumed in the Liberty Transaction and the IPT Transaction, which represented the excess of the prepayment penalties over the premium recorded upon assumption of the debt.

 

Term Loans

 

We did not borrow or pay down on the multi-currency term loan (“2017 Term Loan”) during the three months ended March 31, 2021. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we borrowed a net $500.0 million.

 

Long-Term Debt Maturities

Financial Debt Covenants

 

We had $14.4 billion of senior notes and $1.7 billion of term loans outstanding at March 31, 2021 that were subject to certain financial covenants under their related indentures. We are also subject to financial covenants under our Credit Facilities and certain secured mortgage debt. At March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants.

 

Guarantee of Finance Subsidiary Debt

 

We have finance subsidiaries as part of our operations in Europe (Prologis Euro Finance LLC), Japan (Prologis Yen Finance LLC) and the U.K. (Prologis Sterling Finance LLC) in order to mitigate our foreign currency risk by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest. These entities are 100% indirectly owned by the OP and all unsecured debt issued or to be issued by each entity is or 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 13-01 of Regulation S-X, the separate financial statements of Prologis Euro Finance LLC, Prologis Yen Finance LLC and Prologis Sterling Finance LLC are not provided.

NOTE 7. 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, shares of the Parent’s common stock, generally at a rate of one share of common stock to one limited partnership 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 described above for the OP, as well as the limited partnership units in the OP that are not owned by the Parent. The outstanding limited partnership units receive quarterly cash distributions equal to the quarterly dividends paid on our common stock pursuant to the terms of the applicable partnership agreements.

(1)

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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020 were exchangeable into cash or, at our option, 0.3 million shares of the Parent’s common stock.

 

(2)

We had 8.6 million Class A Units that were convertible into 8.0 million limited partnership units of the OP at March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020.

 

(3)

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, excluding the Class A Units, there were limited partnership units in the OP that were exchangeable into cash or, at our option, 8.2 million shares of the Parent’s common stock. Also included were the vested OP Long-Term Incentive Plan Units (“LTIP Units”) associated with our long-term compensation plan of 4.7 million at March 31, 2021 and 3.9 million at December 31, 2020. See further discussion of LTIP Units in Note 8.

 

NOTE 8. LONG-TERM COMPENSATION

 

Equity-Based Compensation Plans and Programs

 

Prologis Outperformance Plan (“POP”)

 

We allocate participation points or a percentage of the compensation pool to participants under our POP corresponding to three-year performance periods beginning every 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 ranges from three to ten years. The performance hurdle (“Outperformance Hurdle”) at the end of the initial three-year performance period requires our three-year compound annualized total stockholder return (“TSR”) to exceed a threshold set at the three-year compound annualized TSR for the Morgan Stanley Capital International (“MSCI”) US REIT Index for the same period plus 100 basis points. If the Outperformance Hurdle is met, a compensation pool will be formed equal to 3% of the excess value created, subject to a maximum as defined by each performance period. POP awards cannot be paid at a time when we meet the outperformance hurdle yet our absolute TSR is negative. If after seven years our absolute TSR has not been positive, the awards will be forfeited.  

 

We granted participation points for the 2021 – 2023 performance period in January 2021, with a fair value of $30.3 million using a Monte Carlo valuation model that assumed a risk-free interest rate of 0.2% and an expected volatility of 30.5%. The 2021 – 2023 performance period has an absolute maximum cap of $100 million. If an award is earned at the end of the initial three-year performance period, then 20% of the POP award is paid at the end of the initial performance period and the remaining 80% is subject to additional seven-year cliff vesting. The 20% that is paid at the end of the initial three-year performance period is subject to an additional three-year holding requirement.

Index

 

The Outperformance Hurdle was met for the 2018 – 2020 performance period, which resulted in awards being earned at December 31, 2020. Additionally, awards were earned at December 31, 2020 for prior performance periods related to the compensation pool in excess of the initial award based on the terms of the POP awards granted prior to 2018. Awards of $100.0 million for the 2018 – 2020 performance period and $35.7 million in the aggregate for the 2016 – 2018 and 2017 – 2019 performance periods were awarded in January 2021 in the form of common stock, restricted stock units, POP LTIP Units and LTIP Units. POP award activity is included in Summary of Award Activity below.

 

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 the grant date value is charged to compensation expense over the service period.

NOTE 9. 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 10. 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 may 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, 2020.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, we entered into interest rate swap contracts to effectively fix the interest rate on our euro senior notes issued in February 2020 and the U.S. dollar outstanding balance on our 2017 Term Loan. In April 2021, the 2017 Term Loan was terminated and the interest rate swap contracts associated with the outstanding balance were settled.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The change in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during the periods presented was due to the translation into U.S. dollars from the 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 the hedged portion of our debt, as discussed above, are also included in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss).

We estimate an additional expense of $4.4 million will be reclassified to Interest Expense over the next 12 months from March 31, 2021, due to the amortization of previously settled derivatives designated as cash flow hedges.

Included in the three months ended March 31, 2020 was $16.8 million in losses associated with the termination of four U.S. dollar treasury lock contracts with an aggregate notional amount of $750.0 million that fixed the interest rate on the forecasted issuance of U.S. dollar senior notes issued in February 2020.

 

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, 2020.

 

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

 

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, other than the derivatives discussed previously, we had no 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 are significant nonfinancial assets that met the criteria to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, we estimated 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 in Notes 2 and 3 and assets held for sale or contribution in Note 5.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, 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 March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or assumed, including reduced borrowing spreads due to our improved credit ratings. The fair value of the senior notes decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to the increase in bond yields in the market as compared to the weighted average interest rates on our senior notes. The senior notes and many of the issuances of secured mortgage debt contain prepayment 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. We evaluate this on an on-going basis and have taken the opportunity to refinance some of our debt at lower rates and longer maturities as discussed in Note 6.

NOTE 11. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

Our current business strategy includes two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital. We generate revenues, earnings, net operating income 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 revenue 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, and other real estate investments. 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 land leases, along with land and buildings we lease, 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 management and property management services and we earn additional revenues by providing leasing, acquisition, construction, development, financing 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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

 

To the Stockholders and Board of Directors
Prologis, Inc.:

Results of Review of Interim Financial Information

 

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Prologis, Inc. and subsidiaries (the Company) as of March 31, 2021 the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, and equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related notes (collectively, the consolidated interim financial information). Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated interim financial information for it to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB), the consolidated balance sheet of the Company as of December 31, 2020, and the related consolidated statements of income, comprehensive income, equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 10, 2021, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.  In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2020, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

 

Basis for Review Results

This consolidated interim financial information is the responsibility of the Company’s management. We are a public accounting firm registered with the PCAOB and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. A review of consolidated interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

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, 2020, as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) 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, acquisition and 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) international, national, regional and local economic and political climates and conditions; (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; (x) risks related to the coronavirus (“COVID-19”) pandemic; and (xi) 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, 2020. 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. through which it holds substantially all of its assets. 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. We invest in real estate through wholly owned subsidiaries and other entities through which we co-invest with partners and investors. We have a significant ownership interest in the co-investment ventures, which may be consolidated or unconsolidated based on our level of control of the entity.

 

We operate and manage our business on an owned and managed (“O&M”) basis and therefore evaluate the operating performance of the properties for our O&M portfolio, which includes our consolidated properties and properties owned by our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, which we manage. We make operating decisions based on our total O&M portfolio, as we manage the properties similarly regardless of ownership. We also evaluate our results based on our proportionate economic ownership of each property included in the O&M portfolio (“our share”) to reflect our share of the financial results of the O&M portfolio.

 

Included in our discussion below are references to funds from operations (“FFO”) and net operating income (“NOI”), neither of which are U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). See below for a reconciliation of Net Earnings Attributable to Common Stockholders/Unitholders in the Consolidated Statements of Income to our FFO measures and a reconciliation of NOI to Operating Income, the most directly comparable GAAP measures.

 

MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW

 

We are the global leader in logistics real estate with a focus on high-barrier, high-growth markets. We own, manage and develop well-located, high-quality logistics facilities in 19 countries across four continents. Our local teams actively manage our portfolio, which encompasses leasing, property management, capital deployment and opportunistic dispositions. Our disposition activities allow us to recycle capital and largely self-fund our development and acquisition activities. The majority of our properties in the United States (“U.S.”) are wholly owned, while our international properties are primarily held in our co-investment ventures, which has the benefit of mitigating our exposure to foreign currency movements.

 

Our portfolio is focused on the world’s most vibrant centers of commerce and our scale allows us to respond to our customers’ needs for the highest-quality buildings across these locations. There is an emergence of two new structural demand drivers for our real estate: (i) the need for more inventory as supply chains emphasize resilience over efficiency and (ii) the acceleration of e-commerce adoption.

 

As service time increasingly moves to the forefront of the global supply chain, it drives demand for logistics real estate close to the end-consumer. We have invested in properties located within infill and urban areas in our largest global markets with same day access (defined as Last Touch®) and next day access (defined as city distribution), to the consumer population. This positioning gives us the

unique ability to provide our customers with the right real estate solutions for their supply chains that, in turn, allows them to meet end-consumer delivery expectations.

 

As we look to the future of logistics real estate, we are focused on solving our customers’ pain points, innovating in pursuit of creative solutions and operational excellence. We are listening and responding to our customers’ needs for skilled labor through initiatives to create community workforce programs to develop their talent pool, utilize our proprietary data and analytics to ensure efficient distribution solutions and leverage our scale to negotiate better pricing on common products and services that our customers need. Our customers turn to us because they know that a strategic partnership with Prologis is a competitive advantage. We accomplish all of this by employing individuals who continue to grow, embrace change and draw strength from inclusion and diversity.

 

At March 31, 2021, our total O&M portfolio at 100%, including properties and development projects (based on gross book value and total expected investment (“TEI”)), totaled $97.7 billion across 990 million square feet (92 million square meters) and four continents. Our share of the total O&M portfolio was $61.4 billion. We lease modern logistics facilities to a diverse base of approximately 5,500 customers.

 

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

 

Below is information summarizing consolidated activity within our segments (in millions):

 

 

(1)  

NOI from Real Estate Operations is calculated directly from our Consolidated Financial Statements as Rental Revenues and Development Management and Other Revenues less Rental Expenses and Other Expenses.

 

(2)

A developed property moves into the operating portfolio when it meets our definition of stabilization, which is the earlier of one year after completion or 90% occupancy. Amounts represent our TEI, which includes the estimated cost of development or expansion, land, construction and leasing costs.

 

Real Estate Operations

 

Rental. Rental operations comprise the largest component of our operating segments and generally contribute 85% to 90% of our consolidated revenues, earnings and FFO. We collect rent from our customers through operating leases, including reimbursements for the majority of our property operating costs. We expect to generate internal growth by increasing rents, maintaining high occupancy rates and controlling expenses. The primary driver of our revenue growth will be rolling in-place leases to current market rents as leases expire. We believe our active portfolio management, combined with the skills of our property, leasing, maintenance, capital, energy, sustainability and risk management teams allow us to maximize NOI across our portfolio. A majority of our consolidated rental revenue, NOI and cash flows are generated in the U.S.

 

Development. Given the scarcity of modern logistics facilities in our target markets, our development business provides us the opportunity to build what our customers need. We develop properties to meet these needs, deepen our market presence and maintain a modern portfolio. We believe we have a competitive advantage due to (i) the strategic locations of our land bank and redevelopment sites; (ii) the development expertise of our local teams; and (iii) the depth of our customer relationships. Successful development and redevelopment efforts provide significant earnings growth as projects are leased, generate income and increase the net asset value of our Real Estate Operations segment. Based on our current estimates, our consolidated land, including options, has the potential to support the development of $12.0 billion of TEI of new logistics space. In addition to our land portfolio, we have also made investments in other properties that have the potential to be redeveloped to increase value. Generally, we develop properties in the U.S. for long-term hold and outside the U.S. for contribution to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

 

Strategic Capital

 

Our strategic capital segment allows us to partner with many of the world’s largest institutional investors and capitalize our business through private equity, principally perpetual open-ended or long-term ventures. We also access capital in this segment through two publicly traded vehicles: Nippon Prologis REIT, Inc. in Japan and FIBRA Prologis in Mexico. We align our interests with our partners by holding significant ownership interests in all of our 9 unconsolidated co-investment ventures (ranging from 15% to 50%), which allows us to reduce our exposure to foreign currency movements for investments outside the U.S.

30

 


Index

 

 

This segment produces stable, long-term cash flows and generally contributes 10% to 15% of our recurring consolidated revenues, earnings and FFO. We generate strategic capital revenues from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, principally through asset and property management services. 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. Most of the strategic capital revenues are generated outside the U.S. NOI in this segment is calculated directly from our Consolidated Financial Statements as Strategic Capital Revenues less Strategic Capital Expenses and excludes 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 to grow revenues, NOI, earnings, FFO and cash flows.

 

  

 

(1)

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

 

(2)

General and Administrative (“G&A”) Expenses is a line item in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Adjusted G&A expenses is calculated from our Consolidated Financial Statements as G&A Expenses and Strategic Capital Expenses, less expenses under the Prologis Promote Plan (“PPP”) and property-level management expenses for the properties owned by the ventures. Annualized 2021 represents G&A and adjusted G&A expenses for the year ended December 31, 2021 based on the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

Rent Growth. Due to the demand for the location and quality of our properties, we expect rents in our markets to increase. In addition, due to strong market rent growth over the last several years, our in-place leases have considerable upside potential. We estimated that the rental rates of our leases are 13.6% below current market on the basis of our weighted average ownership at March 31, 2021. Therefore, even if market rent growth is flat, a lease renewal will likely 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. We have experienced positive rent change on rollover (comparing the net effective rent (“NER”) of the new lease to the prior lease for the same space) in every quarter since 2013. We expect this trend to continue for several more years due to our current in-place rents being below market. We also expect future growth in market rents to further contribute to increased rental income.

 

Value Creation from Development. A successful development and redevelopment program involves maintaining control of well-located and entitled land and redevelopment sites. We believe that the carrying value of our land bank is below its current fair value. Due to the strategic nature of our land bank, development expertise of our teams and strength of our customer relationships, we expect to create value as we build new properties. We measure the estimated value creation of a development project as the margin above our anticipated cost to develop. As properties stabilize, we expect to realize the value creation principally through contributions to unconsolidated co-investment ventures and increases in NOI.

 

Balance Sheet Strength. We have continued to seek and execute on opportunities to refinance debt at historically low rates, as we did during the first quarter. At March 31, 2021, we had total available liquidity of $4.9 billion and continue to maintain low leverage as a percentage of our real estate investments and our market capitalization. As a result of our low leverage, available liquidity and investment capacity in the co-investment ventures, we have significant capacity to capitalize on value-added investment opportunities that will translate into future earnings growth.

 

Economies of Scale from Growth. We use adjusted G&A expenses as a percentage of the O&M portfolio to measure and evaluate our overhead costs. We have scalable systems and infrastructure in place to grow both our consolidated and O&M portfolios with limited incremental G&A expense. We believe we can continue to grow NOI and strategic capital revenues organically and through accretive development and acquisition activity while further reducing G&A as a percentage of our investments in real estate. As noted in the graph above, the acquisitions of Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership (collectively “Liberty” or the “Liberty Transaction”) and Industrial Property Trust Inc. (“IPT” or the “IPT Transaction”) in

31

 


Index

 

the first quarter of 2020 are key examples of this effort, where we increased our investments in real estate in the O&M portfolio by over 20% and had minimal increases to G&A expenses, which resulted in lower G&A expenses as a percentage of investments in real estate.

 

Staying “Ahead of What’s Next™”. We are working on initiatives to create value beyond the real estate by enhancing our customers’ experience, utilizing our scale to streamline our procurement activities and negotiating better pricing on products and services for us and our customers, as well as delivering improvements to our business through innovation, data analytics and digitization efforts. Underlying our future strategy for growth is our ongoing commitment to, and initiatives in, environmental stewardship, social responsibility and governance.

 

SUMMARY OF 2021

 

Our financial condition and operating results remain strong in the COVID-19 environment and the positive momentum from the fourth quarter of 2020 has carried into 2021, as evidenced by our operating results, profitable deployment activities and solid outlook. While we do not expect significant impacts to our business, financial condition and operating results, we cannot fully predict negative trends due to the continued uncertainty of COVID-19 across the globe.

 

Based on the demand we see in our proprietary data, strong rent collections and in dialogue with our customers, we expect operating conditions in our portfolio to continue to strengthen during 2021. E-commerce continues to grow well above its historical average and customers negatively impacted by the current economy represent a minimal percentage of our annual rent. Leasing activity accelerated for the O&M portfolio during the three months ended March 31, 2021, as discussed below.

 

Overall, our business continuity, communication plans and technology are allowing all functions of our business to continue to work smoothly during this time. Generally, our employees have continued working remotely or in certain locations in our offices under protocols to keep a safe working environment.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we generated net proceeds of $793 million and realized net gains of $190 million, primarily from the contribution of properties to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in Japan and Europe and dispositions to third parties in the U.S.

 

We completed the following consolidated financing activities that included the issuance of $2.0 billion and redemption of $1.5 billion of senior notes, with aggregate principal amounts in U.S. dollars. This resulted in extending our consolidated weighted average remaining maturity to 11 years and lowering our weighted average effective interest rate to 1.7% (principal in millions):

At March 31, 2021, we had total available liquidity of $4.9 billion, principally due to aggregate availability under our credit facilities of $3.9 billion and unrestricted cash balances of $676 million. In April 2021, we increased our available liquidity by entering into a second global senior credit facility with an available borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion and terminating the $500 million multi-currency term loan.

 

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 subsidiaries and utilizing derivative financial instruments.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS – THREE MONTHS ENDED MARCH 31, 2021 AND 2020

 

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 performance 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 our operating results.

 

Below is a reconciliation of our NOI by segment to Operating Income per the Consolidated Financial Statements for the three months ended March 31 (in millions). Each segment’s NOI is reconciled to line items in the Consolidated Financial Statements as provided in the related discussion below.

Real Estate Operations

 

This operating segment principally includes rental revenue and rental expenses recognized from our consolidated properties. We allocate the costs of our property management and leasing 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. In addition, this segment is impacted by our development, acquisition and disposition activities.

The change in Real Estate Operations NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2021 from the same period in 2020, was impacted by the following items (in millions):

 

(1)

Acquisition activity increased NOI in 2021, compared to 2020, primarily due to the Liberty Transaction on February 4, 2020. We acquired 519 industrial operating properties, aggregating 100 million square feet, and increased our consolidated investments in real estate by approximately $13 billion.

 

(2)

During both periods, we experienced positive rental rate growth. Rental rate growth is a combination of higher rental rates on rollover of leases (or rent change) and contractual rent increases on existing leases. If a lease has a contractual rent increase

33

 


Index

 

driven by a metric 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, impacts the rental revenue we recognize. Significant rent change during both periods continues to be a key driver in increasing rental income. See below for key metrics on rent change on rollover and occupancy for the consolidated operating portfolio.

 

(3)

We calculate changes in NOI from development completions period over period by comparing the change in NOI generated on the pool of developments that completed on or after January 1, 2020 through March 31, 2021.

 

Below are key operating metrics of our consolidated operating portfolio, which excludes non-strategic industrial properties.

During the first quarter of 2020, we suspended several recently started speculative development projects for the short term based on the market conditions at that time and government restrictions due to COVID-19. By the fourth quarter of 2020, most suspended projects were restarted and at March 31, 2021, the entire development portfolio consisted of active projects. At March 31, 2021, the consolidated development portfolio, including properties under development and prestabilized properties, was expected to be completed before August 2022 with a TEI of $3.7 billion, leaving $1.7 billion remaining to be spent and was 61.8% leased. We expect our development activities to continue to accelerate in 2021.

Capital Expenditures

 

We capitalize costs incurred in renovating, improving and leasing our operating properties as part of the investment basis or within other assets. The following graph summarizes capital expenditures, excluding development costs, and property improvements per average square foot of our consolidated operating properties during each quarter:

 

 

Strategic Capital

 

This operating segment includes revenues from asset and property management services performed, transactional services for acquisition, disposition and leasing activity and promote revenue earned from the unconsolidated entities. Revenues associated with the Strategic Capital segment fluctuate because of changes in the size of the portfolios through acquisitions and dispositions, the fair value of the properties and other transactional activity including foreign currency exchange rates and timing of promotes. These revenues are reduced by the direct costs associated with the asset and property-level management expenses for the properties owned by these ventures. We allocate the costs of our property management and leasing 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. For further details regarding the key property information and summarized financial condition and operating results of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, refer to Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

G&A expenses were $78 million and $69 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. G&A expenses increased in 2021 as compared to 2020, due to higher compensation expenses based largely on the increase in our share price.

Gains on Real Estate Transactions, Net

 

Gains on the disposition of development properties and land were $174 million and $163 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and primarily included gains from the contribution of properties we developed to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Gains on other dispositions of investments in real estate were $16 million and $31 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, which included sales of operating properties and other real estate transactions. We utilized the proceeds from these transactions primarily to fund our development activities during both periods. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these transactions.

 

Our Owned and Managed (“O&M”) Operating Portfolio

 

We manage our business and review our operating fundamentals on an O&M basis, which includes our consolidated properties and properties owned by our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We believe reviewing the 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. 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.

Index

 

Our O&M operating portfolio does not include our development portfolio, value-added properties, non-industrial properties or properties we do not have the intent to hold long-term that are classified as either held for sale or within other real estate investments. Value-added properties are 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 O&M operating portfolio.

 

 

(1)

Square feet of leases commenced and weighted average net effective rent change were calculated for leases with initial terms of one year or greater. We retained approximately 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 include external leasing commissions and tenant improvements and represent the obligations incurred in connection with the lease commencement for leases greater than one year. As leasing commissions are based on the contractual rent we receive over the lease term, we experienced increases in commissions due to higher rents on leases that commenced during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

 

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 and investors to analyze our ongoing business operations. We determine our same store metrics on property NOI, which is calculated as rental revenue less rental expense for the applicable properties in the same store population for both consolidated and unconsolidated properties based on our ownership interest, as further defined below.

 

We define our same store population for the three months ended March 31, 2021 as the properties in our O&M operating portfolio, including the property NOI for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the unconsolidated co-investment ventures at January 1, 2020 and owned throughout the same three-month period in both 2020 and 2021. We believe the drivers of property NOI for the consolidated portfolio are generally the same for the properties owned by the ventures in which we invest and therefore we evaluate the same store metrics of the O&M portfolio based on Prologis’ ownership in the properties (“Prologis Share”). The same store population excludes properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period (January 1, 2020) and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. 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.

Index

 

As non-GAAP financial measures, the same store metrics have certain limitations as an analytical tool and may vary among real estate companies. As a result, we provide a reconciliation of Rental Revenues less Rental Expenses (“Property NOI”) (from our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to our Same Store Property NOI measures, as follows for the three months ended March 31 (dollars in millions):

(1)

We exclude properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the 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. Same Store Property NOI is adjusted to include an allocation of 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 expense.

 

 

(2)

We include the Property NOI for the same store portfolio for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the co-investment ventures based on our investment in the underlying properties. In order to calculate our share of Same Store Property NOI from the co-investment ventures in which we own less than 100%, we use the co-investment ventures’ underlying Property NOI for the same store portfolio and apply our ownership percentage at March 31, 2021 to the Property NOI for both periods, including the properties contributed during the period. We adjust the total Property NOI from the same store portfolio of the co-investment ventures by subtracting the third parties’ share of both consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

 

During the periods presented, certain wholly owned properties 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 venture subsequent to the contribution date based on our ownership interest at the end of the period). As a result, only line items labeled “Prologis Share of Same Store Property NOI” are comparable period over period.

 

 

(3)

We further remove certain noncash items (straight-line rent and amortization of fair value lease adjustments) included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to reflect a Same Store Property NOI – Cash measure.

 

We manage our business and compensate our executives based on the same store results of our O&M portfolio at 100% as we manage our portfolio on an ownership blind basis. We calculate those results by including 100% of the properties included in our same store portfolio.

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 $67 million and $89 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The earnings we recognize can be impacted by: (i) variances in 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.

 

See the discussion of our unconsolidated entities above in the Strategic Capital segment discussion and in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further breakdown of our share of net earnings recognized.

Interest expense decreased during the three months ended March 31, 2021 as compared to the same period in 2020 principally due to the use of proceeds from the issuance of senior notes throughout 2020 and during the first quarter of 2021 to early redeem higher interest rate senior notes. As a result of our refinancing activities, we lowered the consolidated weighted average effective interest rate on our senior notes by over 60 basis points from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021.

 

See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below, for further discussion of our debt and borrowing costs.

 

Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains, Net

 

We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to investments in and earnings from our foreign investments. We may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our earnings. We recognize the change in fair value of the undesignated derivative contracts in unrealized gains and losses. Upon settlement of these transactions, we recognize realized gains or losses.

 

We primarily hedge our foreign currency risk related to our investments by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest thereby providing a natural hedge. We have issued debt in a currency that is not the same functional currency of the borrowing entity and have designated a portion of the debt as a nonderivative net investment hedge. We recognize the remeasurement and settlement of the unhedged portion of the debt and accrued interest in unrealized gains or losses.

Losses on Early Extinguishment of Debt, Net

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, we recognized $187 million and $43 million of losses on the early extinguishment of debt, respectively. The losses during both periods were driven by the redemption of certain high interest rate senior

Index

 

notes before their stated maturity.  We redeemed $1.5 billion of senior notes with stated maturities of 2024 and 2025, and $783 million of senior notes with a stated maturity of 2021, during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The losses in 2020 included the extinguishment of debt assumed in the Liberty Transaction and the IPT Transaction, which represented the excess of the prepayment penalties over the premium recorded upon assumption of the debt. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section, for more information regarding our debt repurchases.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

We recognize income tax expense related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries and in 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, including gains on the disposition of properties and fees earned from the co-investment ventures. 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.

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 $32 million and $30 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Included in these amounts were $10 million and $14 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, of net earnings attributable to the common limited partnership unitholders of Prologis, L.P.

 

See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our noncontrolling interests.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

The key driver of changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI/L”) during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, was the currency translation adjustment derived from changes in exchange rates during both periods primarily on our net investments in real estate outside the U.S. and the borrowings we issue in the functional currencies of the countries where we invest. These borrowings serve as a natural hedge of our foreign investments. In addition, we use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our foreign investments, that when designated the change in fair value is included in AOCI/L.

 

See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on changes in other comprehensive income (loss) and about our derivative and nonderivative transactions.

 

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:

 

40

 


Index

 

completion of the development and leasing of the properties in our consolidated development portfolio (at March 31, 2021, 80 properties in our development portfolio were 61.8% leased with a current investment of $2.0 billion and a TEI of $3.7 billion when completed and leased, leaving $1.7 billion of estimated additional required investment);

 

development of new properties that we may hold for long-term investment or subsequently contribute 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 $281 million in 2021;

 

additional investments in current and future unconsolidated co-investment ventures and other ventures;

 

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); and

 

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.

 

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

 

net cash flow from property operations;

 

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

 

distributions received from co-investment ventures;

 

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

 

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

 

available unrestricted cash balances ($676 million at March 31, 2021);

 

borrowing capacity under our current credit facility arrangements ($3.9 billion available at March 31, 2021); and in April 2021 we entered into a second global senior credit facility, as described in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements;

 

proceeds from the issuance of debt; and

 

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

 

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

Index

 

Our credit ratings at March 31, 2021, were A3 from Moody’s and A- from Standard & Poor’s, both with stable outlook. These ratings allow us to borrow at an advantageous interest 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 March 31, 2021, 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 6 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.

Operating Activities

 

Cash provided by operating activities, exclusive of changes in receivables and payables, was impacted by the following significant activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

Real estate operations. We receive the majority of our operating cash through the net revenues of our Real Estate Operations segment. Cash flows generated by the Real Estate Operations segment are impacted by our acquisition, development and disposition activities which are key drivers of NOI recognized during each period. 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 $37 million and $24 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Strategic capital. We also generate operating cash through our Strategic Capital segment by providing asset and property management and other services to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. See the Results of Operations section above for the key drivers of the net revenues from our Strategic Capital segment. Included in Strategic Capital Revenues is the third-party investors’ share that is owed for promotes, which is recognized in operating activities in the period the cash is received.

42

 


Index

 

 

G&A expenses and equity-based compensation awards. We incurred $78 million and $69 million of G&A costs in 2021 and 2020, respectively. We recognized equity-based, noncash compensation expenses of $35 million and $32 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively, which were recorded to Rental Expenses in the Real Estate Operations segment, Strategic Capital Expenses in the Strategic Capital segment and G&A Expenses.

 

Operating distributions from unconsolidated entities. We received $116 million and $107 million of distributions as a return on our investment from the cash flows generated from the operations of our unconsolidated entities in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized. We paid interest, net of amounts capitalized, of $90 million and $111 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds. We paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $36 million and $22 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively.

 

Investing Activities

 

Cash provided by investing activities is driven by proceeds from contributions and dispositions of real estate properties. Cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by our capital deployment activities of investing in real estate development, acquisitions and capital expenditures. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these activities. In addition, the following significant transactions also impacted our cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020:

 

Liberty Transaction, net of cash acquired. We paid net cash of $23 million to complete the Liberty Transaction in 2020, primarily due to transaction costs. The acquisition was financed through the issuance of equity and the assumption of debt. A portion of this debt was paid down subsequent to the acquisition, see the Financing Activities section below. See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this transaction.

 

IPT Transaction, net of cash acquired. Our consolidated co-investment venture, USLV, acquired real estate assets from IPT for a cash purchase price of $1.7 billion in 2020. Our partner in USLV contributed their share of the purchase price, $917 million, which is presented in Noncontrolling Interests Contributions in financing activities. All of the debt assumed was paid down subsequent to the acquisition, see the Financing Activities section below. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this transaction.

 

Investments in and advances to our unconsolidated entities. We invested cash in our unconsolidated entities that represented our proportionate share, of $142 million and $252 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The ventures used the funds for the acquisition of properties, development and repayment of debt. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on our unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

 

Return of investment from unconsolidated entities. We received distributions from unconsolidated entities as a return of investment of $38 million and $140 million during 2021 and 2020, respectively. Included in these amounts were distributions from venture activities including proceeds from property sales, debt refinancing and the redemption of our investment in certain unconsolidated entities.

 

Financing Activities

 

Cash provided by and used in financing activities is principally driven by proceeds from and payments on credit facilities and other debt, along with dividends paid on common and preferred stock and noncontrolling interest contributions and distributions.

We completed the Liberty Transaction in 2020 and assumed $2.8 billion of debt, of which $1.8 billion was paid off with the proceeds from the issuance of senior notes. USLV assumed $342 million of debt in the IPT Transaction, all of which was paid off at closing. The assumption of debt was excluded from the table above.

 

Unconsolidated Co-Investment Venture Debt

 

We had investments in and advances to unconsolidated co-investment ventures of $6.6 billion at March 31, 2021. These ventures had total third-party debt of $12.0 billion at March 31, 2021. The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for all unconsolidated co-investment ventures was 27.9% at March 31, 2021 based on gross book value. 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 March 31, 2021, we did not guarantee any third-party debt of the unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

 

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 IRC, relative to maintaining our REIT status, while still allowing us to retain cash to fund capital improvements and other investment activities.

 

Under the IRC, REITs may be subject to certain federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income.

 

We paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.63 and $0.58 per common share in the first quarter of 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our future common stock dividends, if and as declared, may vary and will be determined by the Board based 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 cash distribution of $0.64665 per Class A Unit in both the first quarter of 2021 and 2020.

 

At March 31, 2021, 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 an ongoing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition or disposition of individual properties or portfolios of properties.

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 revenue 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; and

 

foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from (i) debt transactions between us and our foreign entities, (ii) third-party debt that is used to hedge our investment in foreign entities, (iii) derivative financial instruments related to any such debt transactions, and (iv) mark-to-market adjustments associated with other 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 recognize 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;

 

45

 


Index

 

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 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 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.

Index

 

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 three months ended March 31 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 Part 1, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020. See also Note 10 in the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more information about our foreign operations and 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 March 31, 2021. 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 thereby providing a natural hedge. Additionally, we hedge our foreign currency risk by entering into derivative financial instruments that we designate as net investment hedges, as these amounts offset the translation adjustments on the underlying net assets of our foreign investments. At March 31, 2021, after consideration of our ability to borrow in the foreign currencies in which we invest and also derivative and nonderivative financial instruments as discussed in Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we had minimal net equity denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar.

 

For the quarter ended March 31, 2021, $129 million or 11.3% of our total consolidated revenue was denominated in foreign currencies. We enter into other foreign currency contracts, such as forwards, to reduce fluctuations in foreign currency associated with the translation of the future earnings of our international subsidiaries. We have forward contracts that were not designated as hedges, denominated principally in British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, euro and Japanese yen, and have an aggregate notional amount of $1.2 billion to mitigate risk associated with the translation of the future earnings of our subsidiaries denominated in these currencies. The gain or loss on settlement of these contracts is included in our earnings and offsets the lower or higher translation of earnings from

47

 


Index

 

our investments denominated in currencies other than the U.S. dollar. Although the impact to net earnings is mitigated through higher translated U.S. dollar earnings from these currencies, a weakening of the U.S. dollar against these currencies by 10% could result in a $120 million cash payment on settlement of these contracts.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are also exposed to the impact of interest rate changes on future earnings and cash flows. To mitigate that risk, we generally borrow with fixed rate debt and we may use derivative instruments to fix the interest rate on our variable rate debt. At March 31, 2021, $15.0 billion of our debt bore interest at fixed rates and therefore the fair value of these instruments was affected by changes in market interest rates. At March 31, 2021, $1.5 billion of our debt bore interest at variable rates. The following table summarizes the future repayment of debt and scheduled principal payments at March 31, 2021 (dollars in millions):

At March 31, 2021, we had interest rate swap agreements to fix €150 million ($165 million) of our floating rate euro senior notes and $250 million of our multi-currency term loan, both of which are included in fixed rate debt.

 

(2)

The interest rates represent the effective interest rates (including amortization of the debt issuance costs and the noncash premiums and discounts) at March 31, 2021 for the debt outstanding.

 

At March 31, 2021, the weighted average effective interest rate on our variable rate debt was 0.5%. Changes in interest rates can cause interest expense to fluctuate on our variable rate debt. On the basis of our sensitivity analysis, a 10% increase in interest rates on our average outstanding variable rate debt balances would result in additional annual interest expense of $1 million for the quarter ended March 31, 2021, which equates to a change in interest rates of 5 basis points on our average outstanding variable rate debt balances and less than 1 basis point on our average total debt portfolio balances.

 

ITEM 4. Controls and Procedures

 

Controls and Procedures (Prologis, Inc.)

 

Prologis, Inc. 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 March 31, 2021.
