REXFORD INDUSTRIAL REALTY, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


1.	Organization

Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed full-service real estate investment trust (“REIT”) focused on owning and operating industrial properties in Southern California infill markets. We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January 18, 2013, and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, was formed as a Maryland limited partnership on January 18, 2013. Through our controlling interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, we own, manage, lease, acquire and develop industrial real estate principally located in Southern California infill markets, and, from time to time, acquire or provide mortgage debt secured by industrial property. As of June 30, 2019, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 196 properties with approximately 23.9 million rentable square feet. In addition, we currently manage 19 properties with approximately 1.0 million rentable square feet.

The terms “us,” “we,” “our,” and the “Company” as used in these financial statements refer to Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and its subsidiaries (including our Operating Partnership).


2.	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, the financial statements presented are the consolidated financial statements of Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and its subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements.

Under consolidation guidance, we have determined that our Operating Partnership is a variable interest entity because the holders of limited partnership interests do not have substantive kick-out rights or participating rights. Furthermore, we are the primary beneficiary of the Operating Partnership because we have the obligation to absorb losses and the right to receive benefits from the Operating Partnership and the exclusive power to direct the activities of the Operating Partnership. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same, as the Company does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership.

The accompanying unaudited interim financial statements have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“GAAP”) may have been condensed or omitted pursuant to SEC rules and regulations, although we believe that the disclosures are adequate to make their presentation not misleading. The accompanying unaudited financial statements include, in our opinion, all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial information set forth therein. The results of operations for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2019. The interim financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K and the notes thereto.

Any references to the number of properties and square footage are unaudited and outside the scope of our independent registered public accounting firm’s review of our financial statements in accordance with the standards of the United States Public Company Accounting Oversight Board.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications

In connection with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019, as further described below under “Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements,” tenant reimbursements and other income related to leases have been reclassified to “Rental income” in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, to conform to the 2019 financial statement presentation.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short-term maturity of these investments.

Restricted Cash

Restricted cash is generally comprised of cash proceeds from property sales that are being held by qualified intermediaries for purposes of facilitating tax-deferred like-kind exchanges under Section 1031 of the Internal Revenue Code (“1031 Exchange”). As of June 30, 2019, net proceeds of $11.1 million from the sale of our property located 2350-2384 Orangethorpe Avenue and 1631 Placentia Avenue were included in restricted cash. As of December 31, 2018, we did not have a balance in restricted cash.

Restricted cash balances are included with cash and cash equivalents balances as of the beginning and ending of each period presented in the consolidated statements of cash flows. The following table provides a reconciliation of our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):



	June 30, 2019		December 31, 2018
Cash and cash equivalents	$	172,209	$	180,601
Restricted cash	11,055		—
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash	$	183,264	$	180,601

Investments in Real Estate

Acquisitions

We account for acquisitions of properties under Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-01, Business Combinations - Clarifying the Definition of a Business (“ASU 2017-01”), which provides a framework for determining whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions of assets or businesses and further revises the definition of a business. Our acquisitions of properties generally no longer meet the revised definition of a business and accordingly are accounted for as asset acquisitions.

For asset acquisitions, we allocate the cost of the acquisition, which includes the purchase price and associated acquisition transaction costs, to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed on a relative fair value basis. These individual assets and liabilities typically include land, building and improvements, tenant improvements, intangible assets and liabilities related to above- and below-market leases, intangible assets related to in-place leases, and from time to time, assumed debt. As there is no measurement period concept for an asset acquisition, the allocated cost of the acquired assets is finalized in the period in which the acquisition occurs.

We determine the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. This “as-if vacant” value is estimated using an income, or discounted cash flow, approach that relies upon Level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on the Company’s assumptions about the assumptions a market participant would use. These Level 3 inputs include discount rates, capitalization rates, market rents and comparable sales data for similar properties. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known and anticipated trends, and market and economic conditions. In determining the “as-if-vacant” value for the properties we acquired during the six months ended June 30, 2019, we used discount rates ranging from 6.00% to 7.75% and exit capitalization rates ranging from 4.75% to 7.25%.

In determining the fair value of intangible lease assets or liabilities, we also consider Level 3 inputs. Acquired above- and below-market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases, if applicable. The estimated fair value of acquired in-place at-market tenant leases are the estimated costs that would have been incurred to lease the property to the occupancy level of the property at the date of acquisition. We consider estimated costs such as the value associated with leasing commissions, legal and other costs, as well as the estimated period necessary to lease such property to its occupancy level at the time of its acquisition. In determining the fair value of acquisitions completed during the six months ended June 30, 2019, we used an estimated average lease-up period ranging from six months to nine months.

The difference between the fair value and the face value of debt assumed, if any, in connection with an acquisition is recorded as a premium or discount and amortized to “interest expense” over the life of the debt assumed. The valuation of assumed liabilities are based on our estimate of the current market rates for similar liabilities in effect at the acquisition date.

Capitalization of Costs

We capitalize direct costs incurred in developing, renovating, rehabilitating and improving real estate assets as part of the investment basis. This includes certain general and administrative costs, including payroll, bonus and non-cash equity compensation of the personnel performing development, renovations and rehabilitation if such costs are identifiable to a specific activity to get the real estate asset ready for its intended use. During the development and construction periods of a project, we also capitalize interest, real estate taxes and insurance costs. We cease capitalization of costs upon substantial completion of the project, but no later than one year from cessation of major construction activity. If some portions of a project are substantially complete and ready for use and other portions have not yet reached that stage, we cease capitalizing costs on the completed portion of the project but continue to capitalize for the incomplete portion of the project. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred.

We capitalized interest costs of $1.1 million and $0.6 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.7 million and $0.9 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. We capitalized real estate taxes and insurance costs aggregating $0.4 million and $0.3 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively and $0.6 million and $0.5 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 respectively. We capitalized compensation costs for employees who provide construction services of $0.6 million and $0.5 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $1.3 million and $1.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 respectively.

Depreciation and Amortization

Real estate, including land, building and land improvements, tenant improvements, furniture, fixtures and equipment and intangible lease assets and liabilities are stated at historical cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization, unless circumstances indicate that the cost cannot be recovered, in which case, the carrying value of the property is reduced to estimated fair value as discussed below in our policy with regards to impairment of long-lived assets. We estimate the depreciable portion of our real estate assets and related useful lives in order to record depreciation expense.

The values allocated to buildings, site improvements, in-place lease intangibles and tenant improvements are depreciated on a straight-line basis using an estimated remaining life of 10-30 years for buildings, 5-20 years for site improvements, and the shorter of the estimated useful life or respective lease term for in-place lease intangibles and tenant improvements.

As discussed above in—Investments in Real Estate—Acquisitions, in connection with property acquisitions, we may acquire leases with rental rates above or below the market rental rates. Such differences are recorded as an acquired lease intangible asset or liability and amortized to “rental income” over the remaining term of the related leases.

Our estimate of the useful life of our assets is evaluated upon acquisition and when circumstances indicate that a change in the useful life has occurred, which requires significant judgment regarding the economic obsolescence of tangible and intangible assets.

Assets Held for Sale

We classify a property as held for sale when all of the criteria set forth in the Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 360: Property, Plant and Equipment (“ASC 360”) have been met. The criteria are as follows: (i) management, having the authority to approve the action, commits to a plan to sell the property; (ii) the property is available for immediate sale in its present condition, subject only to terms that are usual and customary; (iii) an active program to locate a buyer and other actions required to complete the plan to sell have been initiated; (iv) the sale of the property is probable and is expected to be completed within one year; (v) the property is being actively marketed for sale at a price that is reasonable in relation to its current fair value; and (vi) actions necessary to complete the plan of sale indicate that it is unlikely that significant changes to the plan will be made or that the plan will be withdrawn. At the time we classify a property as held for sale, we cease recording depreciation and amortization. A property classified as held for sale is measured and reported at the lower of its carrying amount or its estimated fair value less cost to sell. As of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, we did not have any properties classified as held for sale.

Deferred Leasing Costs

Subsequent to the adoption of the new lease accounting standard on January 1, 2019, we only capitalize incremental direct costs of a lease that would not have been incurred had the lease not been executed. As a result, deferred leasing costs on a go-forward basis, will generally only include third-party broker commissions. Prior to January 1, 2019, under prior lease accounting guidance, we capitalized incremental direct costs which included an allocation of internal compensation costs of employees who spent time on successful lease origination activities, in addition to third-party broker commissions. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, we capitalized compensation costs for these employees of $0.2 million and $0.4 million respectively.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

In accordance with the provisions of the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets Subsections of ASC 360, we assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets, including goodwill, whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable.

Recoverability of real estate assets is measured by comparison of the carrying amount of the asset to the estimated future undiscounted cash flows. In order to review real estate assets for recoverability, we consider current market conditions as well as our intent with respect to holding or disposing of the asset. The intent with regards to the underlying assets might change as market conditions and other factors change. Fair value is determined through various valuation techniques; including discounted cash flow models, applying a capitalization rate to estimated net operating income of a property, quoted market values and third-party appraisals, where considered necessary. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan used to manage our underlying business. If our analysis indicates that the carrying value of the real estate asset is not recoverable on an undiscounted cash flow basis, we will recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the real estate property.

Assumptions and estimates used in the recoverability analyses for future cash flows, discount rates and capitalization rates are complex and subjective. Changes in economic and operating conditions or our intent with respect to our investment that occur subsequent to our impairment analyses could impact these assumptions and result in future impairment of our real estate properties.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”) commencing with our initial taxable year ended December 31, 2013. To qualify as a REIT, we are required (among other things) to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income to our stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to matters such as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership. Provided we qualify for taxation as a REIT, we are generally not subject to corporate-level income tax on the earnings distributed currently to our stockholders. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, and were unable to avail ourselves of certain savings provisions set forth in the Code, all of our taxable income would be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates, including any applicable alternative minimum tax.

In addition, we are subject to taxation by various state and local jurisdictions, including those in which we transact business or reside. Our non-taxable REIT subsidiaries, including our Operating Partnership, are either partnerships or disregarded entities for federal income tax purposes. Under applicable federal and state income tax rules, the allocated share of net income or loss from disregarded entities and flow-through entities such as partnerships is reportable in the income tax returns of the respective equity holders. Accordingly, no income tax provision is included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

We periodically evaluate our tax positions to determine whether it is more likely than not that such positions would be sustained upon examination by a tax authority for all open tax years, as defined by the statute of limitations, based on their technical merits. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we have not established a liability for uncertain tax positions.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities

ASC Topic 815: Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”), provides the disclosure requirements for derivatives and hedging activities with the intent to provide users of financial statements with an enhanced understanding of: (a) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments, (b) how the entity accounts for derivative instruments and related hedged items, and (c)

how derivative instruments and related hedged items affect an entity’s financial position, financial performance, and cash flows. Further, qualitative disclosures are required that explain the Company’s objectives and strategies for using derivatives, as well as quantitative disclosures about the fair value of and gains and losses on derivative instruments, and disclosures about credit-risk-related contingent features in derivative instruments.

As required by ASC 815, we record all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, and whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge. We may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to economically hedge certain risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting. See Note 7.

Revenue Recognition

Our primary sources of revenue are rental income, management, leasing and development services and gains on sale of real estate.

Rental Income

Total minimum annual lease payments are recognized in rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease, regardless of when payments are contractually due. Rental revenue recognition commences when the tenant takes possession or controls the physical use of the leased space. Lease termination fees, which are included in rental income, are recognized when the related leases are canceled and we have no continuing obligation to provide services to such former tenants.

Our lease agreements with tenants generally contain provisions that require tenants to reimburse us for certain property expenses. Estimated reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, common area maintenance and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized as revenues in the period that the expenses are incurred. Subsequent to year-end, we perform final reconciliations on a lease-by-lease basis and bill or credit each tenant for any cumulative annual adjustments.

Management, leasing and development services

We provide property management services and leasing services to related party and third-party property owners, the customer, in exchange for fees and commissions. Property management services include performing property inspections, monitoring repairs and maintenance, negotiating vendor contracts, maintaining tenant relations and providing financial and accounting oversight. For these services, we earn monthly management fees, which are based on a fixed percentage of each managed property’s monthly tenant cash receipts. We have determined that control over the services is passed to the customer simultaneously as performance occurs. Accordingly, management fee revenue is earned as the services are provided to our customers.

Leasing commissions are earned when we provide leasing services that result in an executed lease with a tenant. We have determined that control over the services is transferred to the customer upon execution of each lease agreement. We earn leasing commissions based on a fixed percentage of rental income generated for each executed lease agreement and there is no variable income component.

Gain or Loss on Sale of Real Estate

We account for dispositions of real estate properties, which are considered nonfinancial assets, in accordance with ASC 610-20: Other Income—Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets and recognize a gain or loss on sale of real estate upon transferring control of the nonfinancial asset to the purchaser, which is generally satisfied at the time of sale. If we were to conduct a partial sale of real estate by transferring a controlling interest in a nonfinancial asset, while retaining a noncontrolling ownership interest, we would measure any noncontrolling interest received or retained at fair value, and recognize a full gain or loss. If we receive consideration before transferring control of a nonfinancial asset, we recognize a contract liability. If we transfer control of the asset before consideration is received, we recognize a contract asset.

Valuation of Receivables

We may be subject to tenant defaults and bankruptcies that could affect the collection of outstanding receivables related to our operating leases. In order to mitigate these risks, we perform credit reviews and analyses on prospective tenants before significant leases are executed and on existing tenants before properties are acquired. On a quarterly basis, we perform an assessment of the collectability of operating lease receivables on a tenant-by-tenant basis, which includes reviewing the age and nature of our receivables, the payment history and financial condition of the tenant, our assessment of the tenant’s ability to meet its lease obligations and the status of negotiations of any disputes with the tenant. Any changes in the collectability assessment for an operating lease is recognized as an adjustment, which can be a reduction or increase, to rental income in the consolidated statements of operations. As a result of our quarterly collectability assessments, we recognized $0.4 million and $0.1 million, for three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.5 million and $0.3 million, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, as a reduction of rental income in the consolidated statements of operations.

Equity Based Compensation

We account for equity-based compensation in accordance with ASC Topic 718: Compensation - Stock Compensation. Total compensation cost for all share-based awards is based on the estimated fair market value on the grant date. For share-based awards that vest based solely on a service condition, we recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the total requisite service period for the entire award. For share-based awards that vest based on a market or performance condition, we recognize compensation cost on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period of each separately vesting tranche. Forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur. See Note 12.

Equity Offering Costs

Underwriting commissions and offering costs related to our common stock issuances have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital. Underwriting commissions and offering costs related to our preferred stock issuances have been reflected as a direct reduction of the preferred stock balance.

Earnings Per Share

We calculate earnings per share (“EPS”) in accordance with ASC 260 - Earnings Per Share (“ASC 260”). Under ASC 260, nonvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and, therefore, are included in the computation of basic EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines EPS for each class of common stock and participating securities according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings.

Basic EPS is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period.

Diluted EPS is calculated by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding determined for the basic EPS computation plus the effect of any dilutive securities. We include unvested shares of restricted stock and unvested LTIP units in the computation of diluted EPS by using the more dilutive of the two-class method or treasury stock method. We include unvested performance units as contingently issuable shares in the computation of diluted EPS once the market criteria are met, assuming that the end of the reporting period is the end of the contingency period. Any anti-dilutive securities are excluded from the diluted EPS calculation. See Note 13.

Segment Reporting

Management views the Company as a single reportable segment based on its method of internal reporting in addition to its allocation of capital and resources.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

Changes to GAAP are established by the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) in the form of ASUs to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. We consider the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Other than the ASUs discussed below, the FASB has not recently issued any other ASUs that we expect to be applicable and have a material impact on our financial statements.

Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements

Derivatives

On August 28, 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 simplifies hedge accounting by eliminating the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and generally requires the entire change in the fair value of a hedging instrument to be presented in the same income statement line as the hedged item. For cash flow hedges, ASU 2017-12 requires all changes in the fair value of the hedging instrument to be deferred in other comprehensive income and recognized in earnings at the same time that the hedged item affects earnings. ASU 2017-12 also eases certain documentation and assessment requirements and modifies the accounting for components excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness. ASU 2017-12 is effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. Effective January 1, 2018, we early adopted ASU 2017-12 using the modified retrospective approach. We did not record a cumulative effect adjustment to eliminate ineffectiveness amounts as we did not have any ineffectiveness in our historical consolidated financial statements. In addition, certain provisions of ASU 2017-12 require modifications to existing presentation and disclosure requirements on a prospective basis. See Note 7 for disclosures relating to our derivative instruments.

Leases

On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which sets out the principals for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. ASU 2016-02 was subsequently amended by the following updates: (i) ASU 2018-10, Leases: Codification Improvements to Topic 842, (ii) ASU 2018-11, Leases: Targeted Improvements, (iii) ASU 2018-20, Leases: Narrow-Scope Improvements for Lessors and (iv) ASU 2019-01, Leases: Codification Improvements (collectively referred to as “ASC 842”). ASC 842 supersedes prior lease accounting guidance contained in ASC Topic 840, Leases (“ASC 840”).

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach and elected to apply the provisions as of the date of adoption on a prospective basis. In making this election, we have continued to apply ASC 840 to comparative periods, including providing disclosures required by ASC 840 for these periods, and we recognized the effects of applying ASC 842 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019, as described below under “Lessor”.

Upon adoption of ASC 842, we elected the “package of practical expedients” which allowed us to not reassess (a) whether expired or existing contracts as of January 1, 2019 are or contain leases, (b) the lease classification for any expired or existing leases as of January 1, 2019, and (c) the treatment of initial direct costs relating to any existing leases as of January 1, 2019. The package of practical expedients was made as a single election and was consistently applied to all leases that commenced before January 1, 2019.

Lessor

ASC 842 requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases, and operating leases. As we elected the package of practical expedients, our existing leases as of January 1, 2019, continue to be accounted for as operating leases.

Upon adoption of ASC 842, we elected the practical expedient permitting lessors to elect by class of underlying asset to not separate non-lease components (for example, maintenance services, including common area maintenance) from associated lease components (the “non-separation practical expedient”) if both of the following criteria are met: (1) the timing and pattern of transfer of the lease and non-lease component(s) are the same and (2) the lease component would be classified as an operating lease if it were accounted for separately. If both criteria are met, the combined component is accounted for in accordance with ASC 842 if the lease component is the predominant component of the combined component; otherwise, the combined component is accounted for in accordance with the revenue recognition standard. We assessed the criteria above with respect to our operating leases and determined that they qualify for the non-separation practical expedient. As a result, we have accounted for and presented all rental income earned pursuant to operating leases, including tenant reimbursements, as a single line item “Rental income” in the consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842, we presented rental income, tenant reimbursements and other income related to leases separately in our consolidated statements of operations. For comparability, we have adjusted our comparative consolidated statement of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, to conform to the 2019 financial statement presentation.

Under ASC 842, lessors are required to record revenues and expenses on a gross basis for lessor costs (which include real estate taxes) when these costs are reimbursed by a lessee. Conversely, lessors are required to record revenues and expenses on a net basis for lessor costs when they are paid by a lessee directly to a third party on behalf of the lessor. Prior to the adoption of ASC 842, we recorded revenues and expenses on a gross basis for real estate taxes whether they were reimbursed to us by a tenant or paid directly by a tenant to the taxing authorities on our behalf. Effective January 1, 2019, we are recording these costs in accordance with ASC 842.

ASC 842 only allows lessors to capitalize the incremental direct costs of originating a lease that would not have been incurred had the lease not been executed. As a result, deferred leasing costs will generally only include third-party broker commissions. Prior to January 1, 2019, under ASC 840, we capitalized incremental direct costs, which included an allocation of internal compensation costs of employees who spent time on successful lease origination activities. Effective January 1, 2019, such costs will no longer be capitalized as initial direct costs and instead will be expensed as incurred.

For leases that commenced prior to January 1, 2019, capitalized internal compensation costs will continue to be amortized over the remaining life of the lease. For leases that were executed but had not commenced prior to January 1, 2019, we recognized a cumulative-effect adjustment to “Cumulative distributions in excess of earnings” of $0.2 million to write off these capitalized internal compensation costs, as these costs were capitalized in accordance with ASC 840, as noted above, and do not qualify for capitalization under ASC 842.

See Note 6 for additional lessor disclosures required under ASC 842.

Lessee

ASC 842 requires lessees to recognize the following for all leases (with the exception of short-term leases) at the commencement date: (1) a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis; and (2) a right-of-use asset (“ROU asset”), which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. ASC 842 also requires lessees to classify leases as either finance or operating leases based on whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase of the leased asset by the lessee. This classification is used to evaluate whether the lease expense should be recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

We are the lessee on one ground lease and multiple office space leases, which were classified as operating leases under ASC 840. As we elected the package of practical expedients, we were not required to reassess the classification of these existing leases and as such, these leases continue to be accounted for as operating leases. In the event we modify our existing ground lease or enter into new ground leases in the future, such leases may be classified as finance leases.

On January 1, 2019, we recognized ROU assets and lease liabilities for these leases on our consolidated balance sheets, and on a go-forward basis, lease expense will be recognized on a straight-line basis over the remaining term of the lease.

Upon adoption of ASC 842, we also elected the practical expedient to not separate non-lease components, such as common area maintenance, from associated lease components for our ground and office space leases.

See Note 6 for additional lessee disclosures required under ASC 842.

Credit Facility

We have a $450.0 million senior unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), comprised of a $350.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and a $100.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$100 Million Term Loan Facility”). The Revolver is scheduled to mature on February 12, 2021, and has two six-month extension options available, and the $100 Million Term Loan Facility is scheduled to mature on February 14, 2022. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we may request additional lender commitments up to an additional aggregate $550.0 million, which may be comprised of additional revolving commitments under the Revolver, an increase to the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, additional term loan tranches or any combination of the foregoing.

Interest on the Credit Facility is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin that is based upon our leverage ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (which is defined as the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the administrative agent’s prime rate or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin that is based on our leverage ratio. The margins for the Revolver range in amount from 1.10% to 1.50% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.10% to 0.50% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our leverage ratio. The margins for the $100 Million Term Facility range in amount from 1.20% to 1.70% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.20% to 0.70% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our leverage ratio.

If we attain one additional investment grade rating by one or more of S&P or Moody’s to complement our current investment grade Fitch rating, we may elect to convert the pricing structure under the Credit Facility to be based on such rating. In that event, the margins for the Revolver will range in amount from 0.825% to 1.55% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.55% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on such rating, and the margins for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility will range in amount from 0.90% to 1.75% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.75% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on such rating.

In addition to the interest payable on amounts outstanding under the Revolver, we are required to pay an applicable facility fee, based upon our leverage ratio, on each lender's commitment amount under the Revolver, regardless of usage. The applicable facility fee will range in amount from 0.15% to 0.30% per annum, depending on our leverage ratio. In the event that we convert the pricing structure to be based on an investment-grade rating, the applicable facility fee will range in amount from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum, depending on such rating.

The Credit Facility is guaranteed by the Company and by substantially all of the current and to-be-formed subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership that own an unencumbered property. The Credit Facility is not secured by the Company’s properties or by equity interests in the subsidiaries that hold such properties.

The Revolver and the $100 Million Term Loan Facility may be voluntarily prepaid in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. Amounts borrowed under the $100 Million Term Loan Facility and repaid or prepaid may not be reborrowed.

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

On June 30, 2019, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Revolver, leaving $350.0 million available for future borrowings.

Debt Covenants

The Credit Facility, our $225 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$225 Million Term Loan Facility”), our $150 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$150 Million Term Loan Facility”), our $100 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (the “$100 Million Notes”) and our $125 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (the “$125 Million Notes”) all include a series of financial and other covenants that we must comply with, including the following covenants which are tested on a quarterly basis:


•	Maintaining a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 60%;


•	For the Credit Facility, the $225 Million Term Loan Facility and the $150 Million Term Loan Facility, maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 45%;


•	For the $100 Million Notes and the $125 Million Notes, maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 40%;


•	Maintaining a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 15%;


•	Maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of (i) $760,740,750, and (ii) an amount equal to at least 75% of the net equity proceeds received by the Company after September 30, 2016;


•	Maintaining a ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to fixed charges of at least 1.5 to 1.0;


•	Maintaining a ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value of not more than 60%; and


•	Maintaining a ratio of unencumbered NOI (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to unsecured interest expense of at least 1.75 to 1.00.

The Credit Facility, the $225 Million Term Loan Facility, the $150 Million Term Loan Facility, the $100 Million Notes and the $125 Million Notes also provide that our distributions may not exceed the greater of (i) 95.0% of our funds from operations or (ii) the amount required for us to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT and avoid the payment of federal or state income or excise tax in any 12-month period.

Additionally, subject to the terms of the $100 Million Notes and the $125 Million Notes (together the “Senior Notes”), upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a default in the payment of any principal, make-whole payment amount, or interest under the Senior Notes, (ii) a default in the payment of certain of our other indebtedness, (iii) a default in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Senior Notes agreement, and (iv) bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest and the make-whole payment amount on the outstanding Senior Notes will become due and payable at the option of the purchasers. In addition, we are required to maintain at all times a credit rating on the Notes from either S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. In October 2018, Fitch upgraded the investment grade rating of the Senior Notes to BBB from BBB- with a stable outlook.

Our $60 million term loan contains a financial covenant that is tested on a quarterly basis, which requires us to maintain a minimum Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan agreement) of at least 1.10 to 1.0.

We were in compliance with all of our required quarterly debt covenants as of June 30, 2019.


6.	Operating Leases

Lessor

We lease industrial space to tenants primarily under non-cancelable operating leases that generally contain provisions for minimum base rents plus reimbursement for certain operating expenses. Total minimum lease payments are recognized in rental income on a straight-line basis over the term of the related lease and estimated reimbursements from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance, common area maintenance and other recoverable operating expenses are recognized in rental income in the period that the expenses are incurred.

We recognized $61.7 million and $119.6 million of rental income related to operating lease payments of which $10.0 million and $19.3 million were for variable lease payments for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively.

The following table sets forth the undiscounted cash flows for future minimum base rents to be received under operating leases as of June 30, 2019 (in thousands):



Twelve Months Ended June 30,
2020	$	204,017
2021	174,525
2022	136,217
2023	106,590
2024	76,481
Thereafter	256,744
Total	$	954,574

The future minimum base rents in the table above excludes tenant reimbursements of operating expenses, amortization of adjustments for deferred rent receivables and the amortization of above/below-market lease intangibles.

Lessee

As of June 30, 2019, we leased a parcel of land located at 3340 North San Fernando Road under a long-term ground lease, with an expiration date of June 1, 2062, no options to renew, and ground rent, which reset every 10 years, equal to 8.0% of the fair market value of the land, subject to a minimum monthly rent of $12,000. On July 3, 2019, we both acquired the fee title to the parcel of land and assumed the related ground lease from the seller/lessor, such that we became both the ground lessor and the ground lessee under the ground lease.

We lease office space as part of conducting our day-to-day business. Our office space leases have remaining lease terms ranging from 1 to 6 years and some include options to renew. These renewal terms can extend the lease term from 3 to 5 years and are included in the lease term when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise the option.

Upon the adoption of ASC 842 on January 1, 2019, we recognized lease liabilities of $3.6 million (in “Accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities”) and related ROU assets of $3.3 million (in “Other assets”) on our consolidated balance sheets, based on the present value of lease payments for the remaining term of our existing leases. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities commencing after January 1, 2019 are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. As of June 30, 2019, total ROU assets and lease liabilities were approximately $6.3 million and $6.6 million, respectively. All operating lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

The tables below present financial information associated with our leases. This information is only presented as of, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 because, as previously noted, we adopted ASC 842 on a prospective basis which does not require application to periods prior to adoption.

(1)	Because the rate implicit in each of our leases was not readily determinable, we used our incremental borrowing rate. In determining our incremental borrowing rate for each lease, we considered recent rates on secured borrowings, observable risk-free interest rates and credit spreads correlating to our creditworthiness, the impact of collateralization and the term of each of our lease agreements.

Maturities of lease liabilities as of June 30, 2019 were as follows (in thousands):

2018 Rent Expense

We recognized rental expense for our ground lease of $36 thousand and $0.1 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively. We recognized rental expense for our office space leases of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, respectively.


7.	Interest Rate Swaps

Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives

We are exposed to certain risks arising from both our business operations and economic conditions. We principally manage our exposures to a wide variety of business and operational risks through management of our core business activities. We manage economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources and duration of our debt funding and through the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, we enter into derivative financial instruments to manage exposures that arise from business activities that result in the payment of future known and uncertain cash amounts, the value of which are determined by interest rates. Our derivative financial instruments are used to manage differences in the amount, timing and duration of our known or expected cash payments principally related to our borrowings.

Derivative Instruments

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional value. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

The change in fair value of derivatives designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income/(loss) (“AOCI”) and is subsequently reclassified from AOCI into earnings in the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings.

The following table sets forth a summary of our interest rate swaps at June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (dollars in thousands):



					Current Notional Value⁽¹⁾				Fair Value of Interest Rate Derivative Assets /(Derivative Liabilities)⁽²⁾

(1)	Represents the notional value of swaps that are effective as of the balance sheet date presented.


(2)	The fair value of derivative assets are included in the line item “Interest rate swap asset” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets and the fair value of (derivative liabilities) are included in the line item “Interest rate swap liability” in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets.


(3)	On December 6, 2018, we entered into this interest rate swap to hedge the variable-rate interest payments associated with the $150 Million Term Loan Facility. This interest rate swap has a notional value of $150.0 million with an effective date of July 22, 2019, and a maturity date of November 22, 2024.

The following table sets forth the impact of our interest rate swaps on our consolidated statements of operations for the periods presented (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended June 30,					Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018		2019			2018
Interest Rate Swaps in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships:
Amount of (loss) gain recognized in AOCI on derivatives	$	(7,761	)	$	1,924	$	(12,036	)	$	6,170

Total interest expense presented in the Consolidated Statement of Operations in which the effects of cash flow hedges are recorded (line item “Interest expense”)	$	6,255		$	6,452	$	12,726		$	12,304

During the next twelve months, we estimate that an additional $0.2 million will be reclassified from AOCI into earnings as an increase to interest expense.

Offsetting Derivatives

We enter into master netting arrangements, which reduce credit risk by permitting net settlement of transactions with the same counterparty. Derivative instruments that are subject to master netting arrangements and qualify for net presentation in the consolidated balance sheets are presented on a gross basis in the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.

The following tables present information about the potential effects of netting if we were to offset our interest rate swap assets and interest rate swap liabilities in the accompanying consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands).

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

Certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain a provision where if we default on any of our indebtedness, including default where repayment of the indebtedness has not been accelerated by the lender within a specified time period, then we could also be declared in default on its derivative obligations.

Certain of our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if a merger or acquisition occurs that materially changes our creditworthiness in an adverse manner, we may be required to fully collateralize our obligations under the derivative instrument.


8.	Fair Value Measurements

We have adopted FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 820: Fair Value Measurements and Disclosure (“ASC 820”). ASC 820 defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value, and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. ASC 820 applies to reported balances that are required or permitted to be measured at fair value under existing accounting pronouncements; accordingly, the standard does not require any new fair value measurements of reported balances.

ASC 820 emphasizes that fair value is a market-based measurement, not an entity-specific measurement. Therefore, a fair value measurement should be determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. As a basis for considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, ASC 820 establishes a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between market participant assumptions based on market data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity (observable inputs that are classified within Levels 1 and 2 of the hierarchy) and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions (unobservable inputs classified within Level 3 of the hierarchy).

Level 1 inputs utilize quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Company has the ability to access. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Level 2 inputs may include quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability (other than quoted prices), such as interest rates and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability, which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, as there is little, if any, related market activity. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability.

Recurring Measurements – Interest Rate Swaps

Currently, we use interest rate swap agreements to manage our interest rate risk. The valuation of these instruments is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves.

To comply with the provisions of ASC 820, we incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although we have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by ourselves and our counterparties. However, as of June 30, 2019, we have assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, we have determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

The table below sets forth the estimated fair value of our interest rate swaps as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018, which we measure on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy (in thousands).

Financial Instruments Disclosed at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, rents and other receivables, other assets, accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and tenant security deposits approximate fair value because of their short-term nature.

The fair value of our notes payable was estimated by calculating the present value of principal and interest payments, using discount rates that best reflect current market rates for financings with similar characteristics and credit quality, and assuming each loan is outstanding through its respective contractual maturity date.

The table below sets forth the carrying value and the estimated fair value of our notes payable as of June 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 (in thousands):

9.	Related Party Transactions

Howard Schwimmer

We engage in transactions with Howard Schwimmer, our Co-Chief Executive Officer, earning management fees and leasing commissions from entities controlled individually by Mr. Schwimmer. Fees and commissions earned from these entities are included in “Management, leasing and development services” in the consolidated statements of operations. We recorded $0.1 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, and $0.2 million and $0.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively, in management, leasing and development services revenue.


10.	Commitments and Contingencies

Legal

From time to time, we are party to various lawsuits, claims and legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We are not currently a party to any legal proceedings that we believe would reasonably be expected to have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Environmental

We will generally perform environmental site assessments at properties we are considering acquiring. After the acquisition of such properties, we continue to monitor the properties for the presence of hazardous or toxic substances. From time to time, we acquire properties with known adverse environmental conditions. If at the time of acquisition, losses associated with environmental remediation obligations are probable and can be reasonably estimated, we record a liability.

On February 25, 2014, we acquired the property located at West 228th Street. Before purchasing the property during the due diligence phase, we engaged a third party environmental consultant to perform various environmental site assessments to determine the presence of any environmental contaminants that might warrant remediation efforts. Based on their investigation, they determined that hazardous substances existed at the property and that additional assessment and remediation work would likely be required to satisfy regulatory requirements. The total remediation costs were estimated to be $1.3 million, which includes remediation, processing and oversight costs.

To address the estimated costs associated with the environmental issues at the West 228th Street property, we entered into an Environmental Holdback Escrow Agreement (the “Holdback Agreement”) with the former owner, whereby $1.4 million was placed into an escrow account to be used to pay remediation costs. To fund the $1.4 million, the escrow holder withheld $1.3 million of the purchase price, which would have otherwise been paid to the seller at closing, and the Company funded an additional $0.1 million. According to the Holdback Agreement, the seller has no liability or responsibility to pay for remediation costs in excess of $1.3 million.

As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we had a $0.7 million and $1.0 million contingent liability recorded in our consolidated balance sheets included in the line item “Accounts payable and accrued expenses,” reflecting the estimated remaining cost to remediate environmental liabilities at West 228th Street that existed prior to the acquisition date. As of June 30, 2019, and December 31, 2018, we also had a $0.7 million and $1.0 million corresponding indemnification asset recorded in our consolidated balance sheets included in the line item “Other assets,” reflecting the estimated costs we expect the former owner to cover pursuant to the Holdback Agreement.

We expect that the resolution of the environmental matters relating to the above will not have a material impact on our consolidated financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. However, we cannot assure you that we have identified all environmental liabilities at our properties, that all necessary remediation actions have been or will be undertaken at our properties or that we will be indemnified, in full or at all, in the event that such environmental liabilities arise. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that future changes to environmental laws or regulations and their application will not give rise to loss contingencies for future environmental remediation.

Tenant and Construction Related Commitments

As of June 30, 2019, we had commitments of approximately $9.6 million for tenant improvement and construction work under the terms of leases with certain of our tenants and contractual agreements with our construction vendors.

Concentrations of Credit Risk

We have deposited cash with financial institutions that are insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation up to $250,000 per institution. Although we have deposits at institutions in excess of federally insured limits as of June 30, 2019, we do not believe we are exposed to significant credit risk due to the financial position of the institutions in which those deposits are held.

As of June 30, 2019, all of our properties are located in the Southern California infill markets. The ability of the tenants to honor the terms of their respective leases is dependent upon the economic, regulatory and social factors affecting the markets in which the tenants operate.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, no single tenant accounted for more than 5% of our total consolidated rental income.

12.	Equity

Common Stock

On June 13, 2019, we established a new at-the-market equity offering program (the “$550 Million ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $550.0 million of our common stock through sales agents. The $550 Million ATM Program replaces our previous $450.0 million at-the-market equity offering program which was established on February 19, 2019 (the “Prior ATM Program”). All $450.0 million of shares of our common stock available under the Prior ATM Program were sold prior to establishing the $550 Million ATM Program.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we sold a total of 12,809,666 shares of our common stock under the $550 Million ATM Program and the Prior ATM Program at a weighted average price of $36.27 per share, for gross proceeds of $464.7 million, and net proceeds of $457.7 million, after deducting the sales agents’ fee. As of June 30, 2019, we had the capacity to issue up to an additional $535.3 million of common stock under the $550 Million ATM Program. Actual sales going forward, if any, will depend on a variety of factors, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock, determinations by us of the appropriate sources of funding for us and potential uses of funding available to us.

Noncontrolling Interests

Noncontrolling interests relate to interests in the Operating Partnership, represented by common units of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”), fully-vested LTIP units, fully-vested performance units and Series 1 CPOP Units, as described below, that are not owned by us.

Operating Partnership Units

As of June 30, 2019, noncontrolling interests included of 1,883,319 OP Units and 539,910 fully-vested LTIP units and performance units and represented approximately 2.2% of our Operating Partnership. OP Units and shares of our common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics, as they share equally in the total net income or loss and distributions of our Operating Partnership. Investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to redeem any or all of their units in our Operating Partnership for an amount of cash per unit equal to the then current market value of one share of common stock, or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis.

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, 44,967 OP Units were converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock, resulting in the reclassification of $0.3 million of noncontrolling interest to Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc.’s stockholders’ equity.

Preferred Units - Series 1 CPOP Units

On April 10, 2019, we acquired from an unaffiliated seller (the “Seller”) an industrial property located at 1515 East 15th Street for a purchase price of $28.1 million. In consideration for the property, we issued the Seller 593,960 newly issued 4.43937% Cumulative Redeemable Convertible Preferred Units of partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“Series 1 CPOP Units”), valued at $27.4 million, plus the payment of certain closing costs, including $0.7 million of closing costs typically attributable to the Seller.

The transaction was priced based upon a common stock price of $31.56, equal to the trailing 30-day average closing price of our common stock as of the letter of intent date (the “Average Value”). Holders of Series 1 CPOP Units, when and as authorized by the Company as general partner of the Operating Partnership, are entitled to cumulative cash distributions at the rate of 4.43937% per annum of the $45.50952 per unit liquidation preference (a 44.2% conversion premium to the Average

Value described above), payable quarterly in arrears on or about the last day of March, June, September and December of each year, beginning on June 28, 2019. The holders of Series 1 CPOP Units are entitled to receive the liquidation preference, which is $45.50952 per unit and approximately $27.0 million in the aggregate for all of the Series 1 CPOP Units, before the holders of OP Units in the event of any voluntary or involuntary liquidation, dissolution or winding-up of the affairs of the Operating Partnership.

The Series 1 CPOP Units are convertible (i) at the option of the holder anytime from time to time (the “Holder Conversion Right”), or (ii) at the option of the Operating Partnership, at any time on or after April 10, 2024 (the “Company Conversion Right”), in each case, into OP Units on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment to eliminate fractional units or to the extent that there are any accrued and unpaid distributions on the Series 1 CPOP Units. As noted above, investors who own OP Units have the right to cause our Operating Partnership to redeem any or all of their units in our Operating Partnership for an amount of cash per unit equal to the then current market value of one share of common stock, or, at our election, shares of our common stock on a one-for-one basis (the “Subsequent Redemption Right”).

The Series 1 CPOP Units rank senior to the Operating Partnership’s OP Units, on parity with the Operating Partnership’s 5.875% series A and series B cumulative redeemable preferred units and with any future class or series of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership expressly designated as ranking on parity with the Series 1 CPOP Units, and junior to any other class or series of partnership interest of the Operating Partnership expressly designated as ranking senior to the Series 1 CPOP Units.

Pursuant to relevant accounting guidance, we analyzed the Series 1 CPOP Units for any embedded derivatives that should be bifurcated and accounted for separately and also considered the conditions that would require classification of the Series 1 CPOP Units in temporary equity versus permanent equity. In carrying out our analyses, we evaluated the key features of the Series 1 CPOP Units including the right to discretionary distributions, the Holder Conversion Right, the Company Conversion Right and the Subsequent Redemption Right to determine whether we control the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of shares that could be required to be delivered under the share settlement if the Series 1 CPOP Units are converted into shares of our common stock (subsequent to conversion into OP Units). Based on the results of our analyses, we concluded that (i) none of the embedded features of the Series 1 CPOP Units require bifurcation and separate accounting, and (ii) the Series 1 CPOP Units met the criteria to be classified within equity, and accordingly are presented as noncontrolling interests within permanent equity in the consolidated balance sheet.

Amended and Restated 2013 Incentive Award Plan

On June 11, 2018, our stockholders approved the Amended and Restated Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the “Plan”), superseding and replacing the Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. 2013 Incentive Award Plan (the “Prior Plan”). Pursuant to the Plan, we may continue to make grants of stock options, restricted stock, dividend equivalents, stock payments, restricted stock units, performance shares, LTIP units of partnership interest in our Operating Partnership (“LTIP Units”), performance units in our Operating Partnership (“Performance Units”), and other stock based and cash awards to our non-employee directors, employees and consultants.

The aggregate number of shares of our common stock, LTIP Units and Performance Units that may be issued or transferred pursuant to the Plan is 1,770,000, plus any shares that have not been issued under the Prior Plan, including shares subject to outstanding awards under the Prior Plan that are not issued or delivered to a participant for any reason or that are forfeited by a participant prior to vesting. As of June 30, 2019, a total of 1,674,651 shares of common stock, LTIP Units and Performance Units remain available for issuance. Shares and units granted under the Plan may be authorized but unissued shares or units, or, if authorized by the board of directors, shares purchased in the open market. If an award under the Plan is forfeited, expires, or is settled for cash, any shares or units subject to such award will generally be available for future awards.

LTIP Units and Performance Units

LTIP Units and Performance Units are each a class of limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership. Initially, LTIP Units and Performance Units do not have full parity with OP Units with respect to liquidating distributions. However, upon the occurrence of certain events described in the Operating Partnership’s partnership agreement, the LTIP Units and Performance Units can over time achieve full parity with the OP Units for all purposes. If such parity is reached, vested LTIP Units and vested Performance Units may be converted into an equal number of OP Units, and, upon conversion, enjoy all rights of OP Units. LTIP Units, whether vested or not, receive the same quarterly per-unit distributions as OP Units, which equal the per-share distributions on shares of our common stock. Performance Units that have not vested receive a quarterly per-unit distribution equal to 10% of the distributions paid on OP Units.

Share-Based Award Activity

The following table sets forth our share-based award activity for the six months ended June 30, 2019:

Unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, whether paid or unpaid, are accounted for as participating securities. As such, unvested shares of restricted stock, unvested LTIP Units and unvested Performance Units are considered participating securities. Participating securities are included in the computation of basic EPS pursuant to the two-class method. The two-class method determines EPS for each class of common stock and each participating security according to dividends declared (or accumulated) and their respective participation rights in undistributed earnings. Participating securities are also included in the computation of diluted EPS using the more dilutive of the two-class method or treasury stock method for unvested shares of restricted stock and LTIP Units, and by determining if certain market conditions have been met at the reporting date for unvested Performance Units.

The effect of including unvested shares of restricted stock and unvested LTIP Units using the treasury stock method was excluded from our calculation of weighted average shares of common stock outstanding – diluted, as their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.

Performance Units, which are subject to vesting based on the Company achieving certain TSR levels over a three-year performance period, are included as contingently issuable shares in the calculation of diluted EPS when TSR has been achieved at or above the threshold levels specified in the award agreements, assuming the reporting period is the end of the performance period, and the effect is dilutive.

We also consider the effect of other potentially dilutive securities, including the Series 1 CPOP Units and OP Units, which may be redeemed for shares of our common stock under certain circumstances, and include them in our computation of diluted EPS when their inclusion is dilutive.

Company Overview

Rexford Industrial Realty, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed full-service REIT focused on owning and operating industrial properties in Southern California infill markets. We were formed as a Maryland corporation on January 18, 2013, and Rexford Industrial Realty, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”), of which we are the sole general partner, was formed as a Maryland limited partnership on January 18, 2013. Through our controlling interest in our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, we acquire, own, improve, develop, lease and manage industrial real estate principally located in Southern California infill markets, and, from time to time, acquire or provide mortgage debt secured by industrial property. We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”), as amended, and generally are not subject to federal taxes on our income to the extent we distribute our income to our shareholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT.

As of June 30, 2019, our consolidated portfolio consisted of 196 properties with approximately 23.9 million rentable square feet. In addition, we currently manage an additional 19 properties with approximately 1.0 million rentable square feet.

Our goal is to generate attractive risk-adjusted returns for our stockholders by providing superior access to industrial property investments and mortgage debt secured by industrial property in high-barrier Southern California infill markets. Our target markets provide us with opportunities to acquire both stabilized properties generating favorable cash flow, as well as properties or land parcels where we can enhance returns through value-add renovations and redevelopment or the development of new industrial buildings. Scarcity of available space and high barriers limiting new construction of for-lease product all contribute to create superior long-term supply/demand fundamentals within our target infill Southern California industrial property markets. With our vertically integrated operating platform and extensive value-add investment and management capabilities, we believe we are positioned to capitalize upon the opportunities in our markets to achieve our objectives.

Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations

Market Fundamentals

Our operating results depend upon the infill Southern California industrial real estate market.

The infill Southern California industrial real estate sector has continued to exhibit strong fundamentals. These high-barrier infill markets are characterized by a relative scarcity of available product, generally operating at above 98% occupancy, coupled with limited ability to introduce new supply due to high land and development costs and a dearth of developable land in markets experiencing a net reduction in supply as more industrial property is converted to non-industrial uses than can be delivered. Consequently, available industrial supply continues to decrease in many of our target infill submarkets, landlord concessions are at cyclically low levels and construction deliveries are falling short of demand. Meanwhile, underlying tenant demand within our infill target markets continues to demonstrate growth, illustrated or driven by strong re-leasing spreads, strong renewal activity, an expanding regional economy, substantial growth in e-commerce transaction and delivery volumes, as well as further compression of delivery time-frames to consumers and to businesses, increasing the significance of last-mile facilities for timely fulfillment. Despite potential concerns related to global growth, tax reform and changes to trade and tariff policies and the impact of rising interest rates, we continue to observe a number of positive trends within our target infill markets. Based on current observations within the Southern California industrial property market and within our property portfolio, we expect these positive trends will continue through the remainder of 2019.

In Los Angeles County, strong market fundamentals continued into the second quarter of 2019. High tenant demand kept vacancy at historically low levels and average asking lease rates increased quarter-over-quarter. Current market conditions indicate rents are likely to continue their upward trend through the remainder of 2019, as occupancy remains at near capacity levels and new development is limited by a lack of land availability and an increase in land and development costs.

In Orange County, market fundamentals remained favorable during the second quarter of 2019. With steady tenant demand and a continued low availability of industrial product in this region, average asking lease rates increased quarter-over-quarter and vacancy decreased slightly quarter-over-quarter. Current regional market conditions indicate continued rental growth through the remainder of 2019.

In San Diego, although there was a slight increase in vacancy quarter-over-quarter due to new supply entering the market, demand remained steady and average asking lease rates increased quarter-over-quarter.

In Ventura County, there was a decrease in vacancy quarter-over-quarter and asking lease rates were unchanged quarter-over-quarter.

Lastly, in the Inland Empire, new industrial product continues to be absorbed well in the market. In the Inland Empire West, which contains the infill markets in which we operate, vacancy remained at historically low levels and average asking lease rates increased slightly quarter-over-quarter. We expect the outlook for the Inland Empire West to be positive through the remainder of 2019. We generally do not focus on properties located within the Inland Empire East sub-market where available land and the development and construction pipeline for new supply is substantial.

Acquisitions and Value-Add Repositioning and Development of Properties

The Company’s growth strategy comprises acquiring leased, stabilized properties as well as properties with value-add opportunities to improve functionality and to deploy our value-driven asset management programs in order to increase cash flow and value. Additionally, from time to time, we may acquire land parcels or properties with excess land where we may construct new buildings, although we don’t anticipate this to be a substantial part of our operations. Acquisitions may comprise single property investments as well as the purchase of portfolios of properties, with transaction values ranging from sub-$10 million dollar single-property investments to portfolios potentially valued in the billions of dollars. The Company’s geographic focus remains infill Southern California. However, from time-to-time, portfolios could be acquired comprising a critical mass of infill Southern California industrial property that could include some assets located in markets outside of infill Southern California. In general, to the extent non-infill-Southern California assets were to be acquired as part of a larger portfolio, the Company may underwrite such investments with the potential to dispose such assets over a certain period of time in order to maximize its core focus on infill Southern California, while endeavoring to take appropriate steps to satisfy REIT safe harbor requirements to avoid prohibited transactions under REIT tax laws.

A key component of our growth strategy is to acquire properties through off-market and lightly marketed transactions that are often operating at below-market occupancy or below-market rent at the time of acquisition or that have near-term lease roll-over or that provide opportunities to add value through functional or physical repositioning and improvements. Through various redevelopment, repositioning, and professional leasing and marketing strategies, we seek to increase the properties’ functionality and attractiveness to prospective tenants and, over time, to stabilize the properties at occupancy rates that meet or exceed market rates.

A repositioning can consist of a range of improvements to a property. This may include a complete structural renovation of a property whereby we convert large underutilized spaces into a series of smaller and more functional spaces, or it may include the creation of additional square footage, the modernization of the property site, the elimination of functional obsolescence, the addition or enhancement of loading areas and truck access, the enhancement of fire-life-safety systems or other accretive improvements. Because each repositioning effort is unique and determined based on the property, targeted tenants and overall trends in the general market and specific submarket, the timing and effect of the repositioning on our rental revenue and occupancy levels will vary, and, as a result, will affect the comparison of our results of operations from period to period with limited predictability.

As of June 30, 2019, 11 of our properties were in various stages of repositioning or development and two of our properties were in the lease-up stage. In addition, we anticipate beginning repositioning work on one additional property in the near future. The table below sets forth a summary of these properties, as well the four properties that were stabilized during the first half of 2019 and the four properties that were stabilized during 2018, as the timing of these 2018 stabilizations have a direct impact on our current and comparative results of operations. In addition to the properties in the table below, we also have a range of smaller spaces in value-add repositioning or renovation, that due to their smaller size and relatively nominal amount of down-time, are not presented below, however, in the aggregate, may be substantial.

(1)	The estimated construction period is subject to change as a result of a number of factors including but not limited to permit requirements, delays in construction, changes in scope, and other unforeseen circumstances.


(2)	Our “Same Properties Portfolio” is a subset of our consolidated portfolio and includes all properties that were wholly-owned by us as of January 1, 2018, and still owned by us as of June 30, 2019. A property with a “Y” indicates its inclusion in the Same Properties Portfolio and a property with a “N” indicates its exclusion from the Same Properties Portfolio.


(3)	We expect to demolish the existing 49,976 rentable square foot building at 851 Lawrence Drive and construct a new 89,270 rentable square foot multi-unit building.


(4)	We acquired Conejo Spectrum Business Park, a nine-building property during the first quarter of 2019. Information presented in this table relates to one of the nine buildings, located at 2455 Conejo Spectrum Street.


(5)	The Merge is a fully entitled industrial development site on which we plan to build six industrial buildings totaling 333,491 rentable square feet.


(6)	As of June 30, 2019, we are repositioning space aggregating 109,636 rentable square feet at 3233 Mission Oaks Boulevard. Upon completion the space will be comprised of eight units. As of June 30, 2019, two units totaling 25,320 rentable square feet have been pre-leased.


(7)	As of June 30, 2019, 1580 Carson Street has been leased with a lease commencement date of August 1, 2019.


(8)	9615 Norwalk Boulevard is a 10.26 acres storage-yard with three buildings totaling 38,362 rentable square feet. In January 2019, we converted the tenant’s month to month land lease to a term lease with an expiration date of June 30, 2020. We will demolish the existing buildings and construct a new 201,808 rentable square foot building upon termination of the land lease.


(9)	We consider a repositioning property to be stabilized at the earlier of the following: (i) upon reaching 90% occupancy or one year from the date of completion of repositioning construction work.

Properties that are nonoperational as a result of repositioning or redevelopment activity may qualify for varying levels of interest, insurance and real estate tax capitalization during the development and construction period. An increase in our repositioning and redevelopment activities resulting from value-add acquisitions could cause an increase in the asset balances qualifying for interest, insurance and tax capitalization in future periods. We capitalized $1.1 million and $1.7 million of interest expense and $0.4 million and $0.6 million of insurance and real estate tax expenses during the three and six months ended June 30, 2019, respectively, related to our repositioning and redevelopment projects.

Rental Revenues

Our operating results depend primarily upon generating rental revenue from the properties in our portfolio. The amount of rental revenue generated by these properties is affected by our ability to maintain or increase occupancy levels and rental rates at our properties, which will depend upon our ability to lease vacant space and re-lease expiring space at favorable rates.

Occupancy Rates

As of June 30, 2019, our consolidated portfolio, inclusive of space in repositioning as described in the subsequent paragraph, was approximately 94.2% occupied, while our stabilized consolidated portfolio exclusive of such space was approximately 97.8% occupied. We believe the opportunity to increase occupancy at our properties will be an important driver of future revenue growth. An opportunity to drive this growth will derive from the lease-up of recently completed repositioning projects and the completion and lease-up of repositioning and development projects that are currently under construction.

As summarized in the table under “Acquisitions and Value-Add Repositioning and Development of Properties” above, as of June 30, 2019, 11 of our properties with a combined 0.9 million vacant rentable square feet are in current repositioning or lease-up. Vacant repositioning space and lease-up space at these 11 properties are concentrated in our Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura and San Diego markets, and represent 3.7% of our total consolidated portfolio square footage as of June 30, 2019. Including vacant repositioning space and lease-up space at these 11 properties, our weighted average occupancy rate as of June 30, 2019, in Los Angeles, Orange County, Ventura and San Diego was 96.0%, 90.9%, 85.1% and 92.5%, respectively. Excluding vacant repositioning space and lease-up space at these 11 properties, our weighted average occupancy rate as of June 30, 2019, in these markets was 98.7%, 97.0%, 95.4% and 96.5%, respectively. We believe that an important portion of our long-term future growth will come from the completion of these projects currently under repositioning, as well as through the identification or acquisition of new opportunities for redevelopment and repositioning, whether in our existing portfolio or through new investments, which may vary from period to period subject to market conditions.

The occupancy rate of properties not undergoing repositioning is affected by regional and local economic conditions in our Southern California infill markets. In recent years, the Los Angeles, Orange and San Diego county markets have continued to show historically low vacancy and positive absorption, resulting from high tenant demand combined with low product availability. Accordingly, our properties in these markets have exhibited a similar trend. We expect general market

conditions to remain positive throughout the remainder of 2019, and believe the opportunity to increase occupancy and rental rates at our properties will be an important driver of future revenue growth.

Leasing Activity and Rental Rates

(1)	Effective rent per square foot is the average base rent calculated in accordance with GAAP, over the term of the lease, expressed in dollars per square foot per year. Includes all new and renewal leases that were executed during the quarter.


(2)	Calculated as the change between GAAP rents for new or renewal leases and the expiring GAAP rents on the expiring leases for the same space.


(3)	Calculated as the change between starting cash rents for new or renewal leases and the expiring cash rents on the expiring leases for the same space.

(4)

The GAAP and cash re-leasing spreads for new leases executed during the six months ended June 30, 2019, exclude 27 leases aggregating 630,632 rentable square feet for which there was no comparable lease data. Of these 27 excluded leases, eight leases aggregating 178,092 rentable square feet are leases of recently repositioned space. Comparable leases generally exclude: (i) space that has never been occupied under our ownership, (ii) recently repositioned/redeveloped space, (iii) space that has been vacant for over one year or (iv) space with lease terms shorter than six months.


(5)	The GAAP and cash re-leasing rent spreads for renewal leases executed during the six months ended June 30, 2019, exclude three leases for 18,670 rentable square feet for which there was no comparable lease data. Comparable leases generally exclude: (i) space with different lease structures or (ii) space with lease terms shorter than six months.


(6)	Includes two leases totaling 132,650 rentable square feet that expired during the six months ended June 30, 2019, for which the space was placed into repositioning after each tenant vacated.


(7)	Retention is calculated as renewal lease square footage plus relocation/expansion square footage, divided by the square footage of leases expiring during the period. Retention excludes expiring leases associated with space that is placed into repositioning after the tenant vacates.

Our leasing activity is impacted both by our redevelopment and repositioning efforts, as well as by market conditions. While we reposition a property, its space may become unavailable for leasing until completion of our repositioning efforts. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we stabilized 14748-14750 Nelson Avenue, 1998 Surveyor Avenue, 15401 Figueroa Street and 1332-1340 Rocky Point Drive with a combined 370,627 rentable square feet. As of June 30, 2019, we have nine current repositioning projects and two development projects with estimated construction completion periods ranging from the third quarter of 2019 to the third quarter of 2020. Additionally, we have two properties in the lease-up stage, one of which is located at 1580 Carson Street, and has been leased with a lease commencement date of August 1, 2019. We expect these

properties to have positive impacts on our leasing activity and revenue generation as we complete our value-add repositioning plans and place these properties in service.

Scheduled Lease Expirations

Our ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases is affected by economic and competitive conditions in our markets and by the relative desirability of our individual properties, which may impact our results of operations. The following table sets forth a summary schedule of lease expirations for leases in place as of June 30, 2019, for each of the 10 full and partial calendar years beginning with 2019 and thereafter, plus space that is available and under current repositioning.

(1)	Represents the contracted square footage upon expiration.


(2)	Calculated as monthly contracted base rent (before rent abatements) per the terms of such lease, as of June 30, 2019, multiplied by 12. Excludes billboard and antenna revenue. Amounts in thousands.


(3)	Calculated as annualized base rent set forth in this table divided by annualized base rent for the total portfolio as of June 30, 2019.


(4)	Calculated as annualized base rent for such leases divided by the occupied square feet for such leases as of June 30, 2019.


(5)	Represents vacant space (not under repositioning) as of June 30, 2019. Includes new leases aggregating 111,959 rentable square feet that have been signed but had not yet commenced as of June 30, 2019.


(6)	Represents vacant space at nine of our properties that were classified as current repositioning as of June 30, 2019. Refer to the table under “Acquisitions and Value-Add Repositioning of Properties” for a summary of these properties. Excludes development properties, stabilized properties and properties in lease-up.


(7)	Represents tenants under month-to-month (“MTM”) leases or having holdover tenancy. Of the 64 MTM leases, 59 MTM leases aggregating 63,290 rentable square feet are at our property located at 14723-14825 Oxnard Street, where due to number and the small size of spaces, we typically only enter into MTM leases.

As of June 30, 2019, in addition to 0.6 million rentable square feet of currently available space in our portfolio and 0.8 million rentable square feet of vacant space under current repositioning, leases representing 4.8% and 18.2% of the aggregate rentable square footage of our portfolio are scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2019 and 2020, respectively. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we renewed 108 leases for 1,673,405 rentable square feet, resulting in a 78.9% retention rate. Our retention rate during the period was impacted by the combination of low vacancy and high demand in many of our key markets. During the six months ended June 30, 2019, new and renewal leases had a weighted average term of 5.7 and 4.8 years, respectively, and we expect future new and renewal leases to have similar terms.

The leases scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2019 and 2020 represent approximately 5.2% and 18.2% respectively, of the total annualized base rent for our portfolio as of June 30, 2019. We estimate that, on a weighted average

basis, in-place rents of leases scheduled to expire during the remainder of 2019 and 2020 are currently below current market asking rates, although individual units or properties within any particular submarket may currently be leased either above, below, or at the current market asking rates within that submarket. As described in the above Market Fundamentals section, we expect market dynamics to remain strong and that these positive trends will provide a favorable environment for additional increases in lease renewal rates. Accordingly, we expect the remainder of 2019 will show positive renewal rates and leasing spreads. We also currently do not see any reason not to expect that 2020 lease expirations will show positive growth upon renewal; however, it is difficult to predict market conditions that far into the future.

Property Expenses

Our property expenses generally consist of utilities, real estate taxes, insurance, site repair and maintenance costs, and the allocation of overhead costs. For the majority of our properties, our property expenses are recovered, in part, by either the triple net provisions or modified gross expense reimbursements in tenant leases. The majority of our leases also comprise contractual three percent annual rental rate increases meant, in part, to help mitigate potential increases in property expenses over time. However, the terms of our leases vary, and, in some instances, we may absorb property expenses. Our overall financial results will be impacted by the extent to which we are able to pass-through property expenses to our tenants.

Taxable REIT Subsidiary

As of June 30, 2019, our Operating Partnership indirectly and wholly owns Rexford Industrial Realty and Management, Inc., which we refer to as the services company. We have elected, together with our services company, to treat our services company as a taxable REIT subsidiary for federal income tax purposes. A taxable REIT subsidiary generally may provide non-customary and other services to our tenants and engage in activities that we may not engage in directly without adversely affecting our qualification as a REIT, provided a taxable REIT subsidiary may not operate or manage a lodging facility or health care facility or provide rights to any brand name under which any lodging facility or health care facility is operated. We may form additional taxable REIT subsidiaries in the future, and our Operating Partnership may contribute some or all of its interests in certain wholly owned subsidiaries or their assets to our services company. Any income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries will not be included in our taxable income for purposes of the 75% or 95% gross income tests, except to the extent such income is distributed to us as a dividend, in which case such dividend income will qualify under the 95%, but not the 75%, gross income test. Because a taxable REIT subsidiary is subject to federal income tax, and state and local income tax (where applicable) as a regular corporation, the income earned by our taxable REIT subsidiaries generally will be subject to an additional level of tax as compared to the income earned by our other subsidiaries. Our taxable REIT subsidiary is a C-corporation subject to federal and state income tax. However it has a cumulative unrecognized net operation loss carryforward and therefore there is no income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018.

New Accounting Pronouncements

See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosure related to the adoption of Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases (“ASC 842”).

Critical Accounting Policies

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions in certain circumstances that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amount of revenues and expenses for the reporting periods. Actual amounts may differ from these estimates and assumptions. Management evaluates these estimates on an ongoing basis, based upon information currently available and on various assumptions that it believes are reasonable as of the date hereof. In addition, other companies in similar businesses may use different estimation policies and methodologies, which may affect the comparability of our results of operations and financial condition to those of other companies.

In our 2018 Annual Report on Form 10-K, we identified certain critical accounting policies that affect certain of our more significant estimates and assumptions used in preparing our consolidated financial statements. We have not made any material changes to our critical accounting policies during the period covered by this report.

Results of Operations

Our consolidated results of operations are often not comparable from period to period due to the effect of property acquisitions and dispositions completed during the comparative reporting periods. Our “Total Portfolio” represents all of the properties owned during the reported periods. To eliminate the effect of changes in our Total Portfolio due to acquisitions and dispositions and to highlight the operating results of our on-going business, we have separately presented the results of our “Same Properties Portfolio.”

For the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our Same Properties Portfolio includes all properties in our industrial portfolio that were wholly-owned by us as of January 1, 2018, and still owned by us as of June 30, 2019, which consisted of 146 properties aggregating approximately 18.3 million rentable square feet. Results for our Same Properties Portfolio exclude any properties that were acquired or sold during the period from January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019, interest income, interest expense and corporate general and administrative expenses. In addition to the properties included in our Same Properties Portfolio, our Total Portfolio includes the 51 properties aggregating approximately 5.6 million rentable square feet that were purchased between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019, and the nine properties aggregating approximately 0.3 million rentable square feet that were sold between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019.

As of June 30, 2019 and 2018, our Same Properties Portfolio occupancy was approximately 96.8% and 95.3%, respectively. For the three months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our Same Properties Portfolio weighted average occupancy was approximately 96.8% and 95.4%, respectively. Comparatively, for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, our Same Properties Portfolio weighted average occupancy was approximately 96.5% and 95.5%, respectively. These occupancy changes were partially driven by the completion of repositioning and development work and subsequent lease-up of space at the following five properties in our Same Properties Portfolio during the period from January 1, 2018 through June 30, 2019: (i) 14748-14750 Nelson Avenue, (ii) 3233 Mission Oaks Boulevard - Unit H, (iii) 301-445 Figueroa Street, (iv) 28903 Avenue Paine and (v) 15401 Figueroa Street (collectively, the “SPP Stabilized Properties”).

Rental Income

On January 1, 2019, we adopted ASC 842 using the modified retrospective approach and elected the “non-separation practical expedient” in ASC 842 that alleviates the requirement to separately present lease and non-lease components of lease contracts if certain criteria are met. As a result, we account for and present all rental income earned pursuant to tenant leases, including tenant reimbursements, as a single component in one line, “Rental income,” in our consolidated statements of operations. Prior to the adoption ASC 842, we presented rental revenue, tenant reimbursements and other income related to leases separately in our consolidated statements of operations. However, to facilitate comparability, we have reclassified 2018 amounts to conform with 2019 presentation.

The following table reports the breakdown of 2019 rental income, as reported prior to the adoption of ASC 842, and compares this breakdown with 2018 amounts for the comparable period (dollars in thousands). We believe that the below presentation of rental income is not, and is not intended to be, a presentation in accordance with GAAP. We are presenting this information because we believe it is frequently used by management, investors, securities analysts and other interested parties to evaluate the Company’s performance.

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio rental income increased by $2.5 million, or 5.2%, and $12.0 million, or 23.2%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, for the reasons described below:

(1) Rental Revenue

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio rental revenue increased by $2.3 million, or 5.7%, and $10.0 million, or 23.0%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio rental revenue is primarily due to the increase in the weighted average occupancy of the portfolio for comparable periods, which was partially driven by the lease-up of the five SPP Stabilized Properties, and the increase in average rental rates on new and renewal leases. Our Total Portfolio rental revenue was also positively impacted by the incremental revenues from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019.

(2) Tenant Reimbursements

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue increased by $0.1 million, or 1.2%, and $1.8 million, or 23.2%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio tenant reimbursement revenue is primarily due to an increase in the weighted average occupancy for comparable periods, which was partially driven by the lease-up of the five SPP Stabilized Properties. This increase was partially offset by a decrease in tenant reimbursements revenue due to timing differences in completing prior year recoverable expense reconciliations for comparable periods and the adoption of ASC 842 and the related change in reporting for real estate taxes that are paid directly by a lessee to a third party, from a gross basis to a net basis, at three of our properties. Under ASC 842, real estate taxes paid by tenants directly to the taxing authorities are reported on a net basis, which means that we do not report tenant reimbursement revenue or a corresponding expense for such amounts. Prior to January 1, 2019, under prior lease accounting (ASC 840), we reported real estate taxes paid by tenants directly to the taxing authorities on a gross basis, which means that we reported both tenant reimbursement revenue and a corresponding expense for such amounts. Our Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue was also impacted by the incremental reimbursements from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019.

(3) Other Income

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio other income increased by $0.1 million, or 104.0%, and $0.1 million, or 103.4%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in late fee income.

Management, Leasing and Development Services

Our Total Portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue decreased by $31 thousand, or 22.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest Income

Interest income increased from zero to $0.7 million during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, due to the investment of excess cash in money market accounts during the current period.

Property Expenses

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio property expenses increased by $49.0 thousand, or 0.4%, and $2.4 million, or 18.5%, respectively, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio property expenses is primarily due to increases in allocated overhead costs and real estate tax expense relating to California Proposition 13 annual increases and lower capitalized real estate tax expense related to repositioning activity. These increases were partially offset by decreases in repairs and maintenance expense and real estate tax expense due to the adoption of ASC 842 and the change in reporting for real estate taxes that are paid directly by a lessee to a third party, from a gross basis to a net basis at three of our properties. Our Total Portfolio property expenses were also impacted by incremental expenses from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019.

General and Administrative

Our Total Portfolio general and administrative expenses increased by $0.8 million, or 12.2%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increases in non-cash equity compensation expense, accrued bonus expense, payroll related costs due to a higher headcount, and other various corporate expenses, partially offset by a decrease in legal expense.

Depreciation and Amortization

Our Same Properties Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $46.0 thousand, or 0.3%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to acquisition-related tenant improvements and in-place lease intangibles becoming fully depreciated at certain of our properties subsequent to April 1, 2018, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense related to capital improvements placed into service subsequent to April 1, 2018. Our Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $4.7 million, or 24.0%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the incremental expense from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019.

Acquisition Expenses

Our Total Portfolio acquisition expenses decreased by $8 thousand, or 21.6%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest Expense

Our Total Portfolio interest expense decreased by $0.2 million, or 3.1%, during the three months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to a $0.6 million decrease in interest related to lower average outstanding borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility and a $0.5 million increase in capitalized interest related to our repositioning and development properties, partially offset by a $0.9 million increase in interest related to the $150.0 million term loan facility borrowing we made in May 2018.

Gains on Sale of Real Estate

During the three months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized gains on sale of real estate of $4.8 million from the disposition of one property that was sold for a gross sale price of $11.6 million. During the three months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized gains on sale of real estate of $1.6 million from the disposition of two properties that were sold for an aggregate gross sales price of $10.7 million.

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio rental revenue increased by $4.7 million, or 5.8%, and $19.4 million, or 23.0%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio rental revenue is primarily due to the increase in the weighted average occupancy of the portfolio for comparable periods, which was partially driven by the lease-up of the five SPP Stabilized Properties, and the increase in average rental rates on new and renewal leases. Our Total Portfolio rental income was also positively impacted by the incremental revenues from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019.

(2) Tenant Reimbursements

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue increased by $0.5 million, or 3.6%, and $3.6 million, or 23.6%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio tenant reimbursements is primarily due to an increase in the weighted average occupancy for comparable periods, which was partially driven by the lease-up of the five SPP Stabilized Properties, and timing differences in completing prior year recoverable expense reconciliations for comparable periods. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in tenant reimbursements revenue due to the adoption of ASC 842 and the related change in reporting for real estate taxes that are paid directly by a lessee to a third party, from a gross basis to a net basis, at three of our properties. Our Total Portfolio tenant reimbursements revenue was also impacted by the incremental reimbursements from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2018 and June 30, 2019.

(3) Other Income

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio other income increased by $0.1 million, or 31.3%, and $0.2 million, or 48.8%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to an increase in late fee income.

Management, Leasing and Development Services

Our Total Portfolio management, leasing and development services revenue decreased by $32 thousand, or 13.2%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest Income

Interest income increased from zero to $1.3 million during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, due to the investment of excess cash in money market accounts during the current period.

Property Expenses

Our Same Properties Portfolio and Total Portfolio property expenses increased by $0.1 million, or 0.5%, and $4.2 million, or 17.0%, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase in our Same Properties Portfolio property expenses is primarily due to increases in allocated overhead costs, real estate tax expense relating to California Proposition 13 annual increases and lower capitalized real estate tax expense related to repositioning activity, and insurance expense. These increases were partially offset by decreases in repairs and maintenance expense and real estate tax expense due to the adoption of ASC 842 and the change in reporting for real estate taxes that are paid directly by a lessee to a third party, from a gross basis to a net basis at three of our properties. Our Total Portfolio property expenses were also impacted by incremental expenses from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019.

General and Administrative

Our Total Portfolio general and administrative expenses increased by $2.0 million, or 15.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to increases in payroll related costs due to a higher headcount, non-cash equity compensation expense, accrued bonus expense and other various corporate expenses, partially offset by a decrease in legal expense.

Depreciation and Amortization

Our Same Properties Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense decreased by $1.4 million, or 3.9%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to acquisition-related tenant improvements and in-place lease intangibles becoming fully depreciated at certain of our properties subsequent to January 1, 2018, partially offset by an increase in depreciation expense related to capital improvements placed into service subsequent to January 1, 2018. Our Total Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense increased $7.3 million, or 18.6%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to the incremental expense from the 51 properties we acquired between January 1, 2018, and June 30, 2019, partially offset by the decrease in our Same Properties Portfolio depreciation and amortization expense noted above.

Acquisition Expenses

Our Total Portfolio acquisition expenses increased by $6 thousand, or 13.0%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018.

Interest Expense

Our Total Portfolio interest expense increased by $0.4 million, or 3.4%, during the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018, primarily due to a $2.4 million increase in interest related to the $150.0 million term loan facility borrowing we made in May 2018, partially offset by a $1.1 million decrease in interest related to lower average outstanding borrowings on our unsecured revolving credit facility and a $0.7 million increase in capitalized interest related to our repositioning and development properties.

Gains on Sale of Real Estate

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we recognized gains on sale of real estate of $4.8 million from the disposition of one property that was sold for a gross sales price of $11.6 million. During the six months ended June 30, 2018, we recognized gains on sale of real estate of $11.6 million from the disposition of five properties that were sold for an aggregate gross sales price of $37.6 million.

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: Funds From Operations

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

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

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

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

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: NOI and Cash NOI

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

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

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

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

Non-GAAP Supplemental Measure: EBITDAre

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

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

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

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

As of June 30, 2019, our cash and cash equivalents were $172.2 million, and we did not have any borrowings outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit facility, leaving $350.0 million available for future borrowings.

Sources of Liquidity

Cash Flow from Operations

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

ATM Program

On June 13, 2019, we established a new at-the-market equity offering program (the “$550 Million ATM Program”) pursuant to which we may sell from time to time up to an aggregate of $550.0 million of our common stock through sales agents. The $550 Million ATM Program replaces our previous $450.0 million at-the-market equity offering program which was established on February 19, 2019 (the “Prior ATM Program”). Substantially all $450.0 million of shares of our common stock available under the Prior ATM Program were sold prior to establishing the $550 Million ATM Program.

Future sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including among others, market conditions, the trading price of our common stock and capital needs. We intend to use the net proceeds from the offering of shares under the $550 Million ATM Program, if any, to fund potential acquisition opportunities, repay amounts outstanding from time to time under our unsecured revolving credit facility or other debt financing obligations, to fund our development or redevelopment activities and/or for general corporate purposes.

Equity Offerings

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

Capital Recycling

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

During the six months ended June 30, 2019, we completed the sale of one of our properties for a gross sales price of $11.6 million and net cash proceeds of $11.1 million. We intend to recycle the net cash proceeds from this disposition to fund a future acquisition through a 1031 Exchange transaction.

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

Credit Facility

We have a $450.0 million senior unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility”), comprised of a $350.0 million unsecured revolving credit facility (the "Revolver") and a $100.0 million unsecured term loan facility (the "$100 Million Term Loan Facility"). The Revolver is scheduled to mature on February 12, 2021 and has two six-month extension options available for a maximum maturity date of February 14, 2022, subject to certain conditions and the payment of an additional fee. The $100 Million Term Loan Facility is scheduled to mature on February 14, 2022. Under the terms of the Credit Facility, we may request additional lender commitments up to an additional aggregate $550.0 million, which may be comprised of additional revolving commitments under the Revolver, an increase to the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, additional term loan tranches or any combination of the foregoing.

Interest on the Credit Facility is generally to be paid based upon, at our option, either (i) LIBOR plus an applicable margin that is based upon our leverage ratio or (ii) the Base Rate (which is defined as the highest of (a) the federal funds rate plus 0.50%, (b) the administrative agent’s prime rate or (c) the Eurodollar Rate plus 1.00%) plus an applicable margin that is based on our leverage ratio. The margins for the Revolver range in amount from 1.10% to 1.50% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.10% to 0.50% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our leverage ratio. The margins for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility range in amount from 1.20% to 1.70% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.20% to 0.70% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on our leverage ratio.

If we attain one additional investment grade rating by one or more of Standard & Poor’s (“S&P”) or Moody’s Investor Services (“Moody’s”) to complement our current investment grade Fitch rating, we may elect to convert the pricing structure under the Credit Facility to be based on such rating. In that event, the margins for the Revolver will range in amount from 0.825% to 1.550% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.55% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on such rating, and the margins for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility will range in amount from 0.90% to 1.75% per annum for LIBOR-based loans and 0.00% to 0.75% per annum for Base Rate-based loans, depending on such ratings.

In addition to the interest payable on amounts outstanding under the Revolver, we are required to pay an applicable facility fee, based upon our leverage ratio, on the aggregate amount of each lender's Revolving Credit Commitment (whether or not such Revolving Credit Commitment is drawn), as defined in the Credit Facility. The applicable facility fee will range in amount from 0.15% to 0.30% per annum, depending on our leverage ratio. In the event that we convert the pricing structure to be based on an investment-grade rating, the applicable facility fee will range in amount from 0.125% to 0.30% per annum, depending on such rating.

As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we did not have any borrowings outstanding under the Revolver, leaving $350.0 million available for future borrowings.

Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement

On July 16, 2019, we entered into a Note Purchase and Guarantee Agreement (the “NPGA”) which provides for the private placement of $100.0 million of guaranteed senior notes, of which (i) $25.0 million are designated as 3.88% Series 2019A Guaranteed Senior Notes due July 16, 2029 (the "Series 2019A Notes") and (ii) $75.0 million are designated as 4.03% Series 2019B Guaranteed Senior Notes due July 16, 2034 (the "Series 2019 B Notes" and, together with the Series 2019A Notes, the "Series 2019A and 2019B Notes"). Interest on the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes will be payable semiannually on the sixteenth day of January and July in each year, beginning on January 16, 2020, until maturity. On July 16, 2019, we completed the issuance of the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes. The proceeds will be used to fund the acquisition of industrial properties and for general corporate purposes.

Investment Grade Rating

In October 2018, Fitch Ratings upgraded our investment grade credit rating to BBB from BBB- with a stable outlook on the Credit Facility, our $225 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$225 Million Term Loan Facility”), our $150 million unsecured term loan facility (the “$150 Million Term Loan Facility”), our $100 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (the “$100 Million Notes”) and our $125 million unsecured guaranteed senior notes (the “$125 Million Notes”). They also upgraded our investment grade credit rating to BB+ from BB on our 5.875% Series A Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock and assigned a BB+ rating on our 5.875% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock. Our credit ratings are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analysis of us, and, although it is our intent to maintain our investment grade credit rating, there can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings. In the event our current credit ratings are downgraded, it may become difficult or more expensive to obtain additional financing or refinance existing indebtedness as maturities become due.

Uses of Liquidity

Acquisitions

One of our most significant liquidity needs has historically been for the acquisition of real estate properties. Year to date, we have acquired 22 properties with a combined 2.6 million rentable square feet for a total gross purchase price of $497.2 million, and we are actively monitoring a volume of properties in our markets that we believe represent attractive potential investment opportunities to continue to grow our business. As of the filing date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, we have approximately $316.1 million of acquisitions under contract or letter of intent. While the actual number of acquisitions that we complete will be dependent upon a number of factors, in the short term, we expect to fund our acquisitions through available cash on hand, cash flows from operations, borrowings available under the Revolver, recycling capital through property dispositions and, in the long term, through the issuance of equity securities or proceeds from long-term secured and unsecured financings.

Recurring and Nonrecurring Capital Expenditures

Capital expenditures are considered part of both our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements. As discussed above under — Factors that May Influence Future Results —Acquisitions and Value-Add Repositioning and Development of Properties, as of June 30, 2019, 14 of our properties were in various stages of repositioning, development or lease-up. We currently estimate that approximately $88.9 million of capital will be required through the end of 2020, to bring these projects to completion. This estimate, however, is based on our current construction plans and budgets, both of which are subject to change as a result of a number of factors. If we are unable to complete construction on schedule or within budget, we could incur increased construction costs and experience potential delays in leasing the properties. We expect to fund these projects through a combination of cash flow from operations, the issuance of common stock under the $550 Million ATM Program and borrowings available under the Revolver.

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



	Six Months Ended June 30, 2019

(2)

Reflects an estimate of interest payments due on variable rate debt, including the impact of interest rate swaps. For variable rate debt where interest is paid based on LIBOR plus an applicable LIBOR margin, we used the applicable LIBOR margin in effect as of June 30, 2019, and the one-month LIBOR rate of 2.398%, as of June 30, 2019. Furthermore, it is assumed that any maturity extension options available are not exercised.

(3)

Includes total commitments for tenant improvements related to obligations under certain tenant leases and construction work related to obligations under contractual agreements with our construction vendors. We anticipate these obligations to be paid as incurred through the remainder of 2019 and 2020, however, as the timing of these obligations is subject to a number of factors, for purposes of this table, we have included the full amount under “Remainder of 2019”.

Dividends and Distributions

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

(1)	Includes the effect of interest rate swaps that were effective as of June 30, 2019. Assumes a 1-month LIBOR rate of 2.398% as of June 30, 2019, as applicable. Excludes the effect of amortization of debt issuance costs, discounts and the facility fee on the Revolver.


(2)	Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts totaling $3.4 million as of June 30, 2019.


(3)	One 24-month extension is available at the borrower’s option, subject to certain terms and conditions.


(4)	The Revolver is subject to an applicable facility fee which is calculated as a percentage of the total lenders’ commitment amount, regardless of usage. The applicable facility fee will range from 0.15% to 0.30% depending upon our leverage ratio.


(5)	Two additional six-month extensions are available at the borrower’s option, subject to certain terms and conditions.

(6)

The LIBOR margin will range from 1.10% to 1.50% per annum for the Revolver, 1.20% to 1.70% per annum for the $100 Million Term Loan Facility, 1.20% to 1.70% per annum for the $225 Million Term Loan Facility and 1.50% to 2.20% per annum for the $150 Million Term Loan Facility, depending on our leverage ratio, which is the ratio of our outstanding consolidated indebtedness to the value of our consolidated gross asset value. This leverage ratio is measured on a quarterly basis, and as a result, the effective interest rate will fluctuate from period to period.


(7)	As of June 30, 2019, the $100 Million Term Loan Facility has been effectively fixed at 1.764% plus an applicable LIBOR margin through the use of an interest rate swap with a notional value of $100.0 million and an effective date of December 14, 2018.

The following table summarizes the composition of our consolidated debt between fixed-rate and variable-rate and secured and unsecured debt as of June 30, 2019:



	Average Term Remaining (in years)	Stated Interest Rate	Effective Interest Rate⁽¹⁾	Principal Balance (in thousands)⁽²⁾		% of Total
Fixed vs. Variable:
Fixed	4.9	3.27%	3.27%	$	552,539	73%
Variable	5.4	LIBOR + 1.56%	3.95%	$	208,499	27%
Secured vs. Unsecured:
Secured	4.4		4.14%	$	61,038	8%
Unsecured	5.1		3.40%	$	700,000	92%


(1)	Includes the effect of interest rate swaps that were effective as of June 30, 2019. Excludes the effect of amortization of debt issuance costs, discounts/premiums and the facility fee on the Revolver. Assumes a 1-month LIBOR rate of 2.398% as of June 30, 2019, as applicable.


(2)	Excludes unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts totaling $3.4 million as of June 30, 2019.

At June 30, 2019, we had total consolidated indebtedness of $761.0 million, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, with a weighted average interest rate of 3.46% and an average term-to-maturity of 5.0 years. As of June 30, 2019, $552.5 million, or 73% of our outstanding indebtedness had an interest rate that was effectively fixed under either the terms of the loan ($227.5 million) or an interest rate swap ($325.0 million).

At June 30, 2019, we had consolidated indebtedness of $761.0 million, reflecting a net debt to total combined market capitalization of approximately 11.1%. Our total market capitalization is defined as the sum of the liquidation preference of our outstanding preferred stock and preferred units plus the market value of our common stock excluding shares of nonvested restricted stock, plus the aggregate value of common units not owned by us, plus the value of our net debt. Our net debt is defined as our consolidated indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents.

Debt Covenants

The Credit Facility, the $225 Million Term Loan Facility, the $150 Million Term Loan Facility, the $100 Million Notes, the $125 Million Notes and the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes all include a series of financial and other covenants that we must comply with, including the following covenants which are tested on a quarterly basis:


•	Maintaining a ratio of total indebtedness to total asset value of not more than 60%;


•	For the Credit Facility, the $225 Million Term Loan Facility and the $150 Million Term Loan Facility, maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 45%;


•	For the $100 Million Notes, the $125 Million Notes and the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes, maintaining a ratio of secured debt to total asset value of not more than 40%;


•	Maintaining a ratio of total secured recourse debt to total asset value of not more than 15%;


•	Maintaining a minimum tangible net worth of at least the sum of (i) $760,740,750, and (ii) an amount equal to at least 75% of the net equity proceeds received by the Company after September 30, 2016;


•	Maintaining a ratio of adjusted EBITDA (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to fixed charges of at least 1.50 to 1.0;


•	Maintaining a ratio of total unsecured debt to total unencumbered asset value of not more than 60%;


•	Maintaining a ratio of unencumbered NOI (as defined in each of the loan agreements) to unsecured interest expense of at least 1.75 to 1.0.

The Credit Facility, the $225 Million Term Loan Facility, the $150 Million Term Loan Facility, the $100 Million Notes, the $125 Million Notes and the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes also contain limitations on our ability to pay distributions on our common stock. Specifically, our cash dividends may not exceed the greater of (1) 95% of our FFO (as defined in the credit agreement) and (2) the amount required for us to qualify and maintain our REIT status. If an event of default exists, we may only make distributions sufficient to qualify and maintain our REIT status.

Additionally, subject to the terms of the $100 Million Notes, the $125 Million Notes and the Series 2019A and 2019B Notes (together the “Senior Notes”), upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a default in the payment of any principal, make-whole payment amount, or interest under the Senior Notes, (ii) a default in the payment of certain of our other indebtedness, (iii) a default in compliance with the covenants set forth in the Senior Notes agreement and (iv) bankruptcy and other insolvency defaults, the principal and accrued and unpaid interest and the make-whole payment amount on the outstanding Senior Notes will become due and payable at the option of the purchasers. In addition, we are required to maintain at all times a credit rating on the Senior Notes from either S&P, Moody’s or Fitch. As noted above, most recently in October 2018, Fitch upgraded the investment grade rating of the $100 Million Notes and the $125 Million Notes to BBB from BBB- with a stable outlook.

Our $60 million term loan contains the following financial covenants:


•	Maintaining a Debt Service Coverage Ratio (as defined in the term loan agreement) of at least 1.10 to 1.00, to be tested quarterly;


•	Maintaining Unencumbered Liquid Assets (as defined in the term loan agreement) of not less than (i) $5 million, or (ii) $8 million if we elect to have Line of Credit Availability (as defined in the term loan agreement) included in the calculation, of which $2 million must be cash or cash equivalents, to be tested annually as of December 31 of each year;


•	Maintaining a minimum Fair Market Net Worth (as defined in the term loan agreement) of at least $75 million, to be tested annually as of December 31 of each year.

We were in compliance with all of our quarterly debt covenants as of June 30, 2019.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of June 30, 2019, we did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements.

Cash Flows

Comparison of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2019 to the Six Months Ended June 30, 2018

The following table summarizes the changes in net cash flows associated with our operating, investing, and financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 (in thousands):



	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2019			2018			Change
Cash provided by operating activities	$	61,548		$	45,124		$	16,424
Cash used in investing activities	$	(474,382	)	$	(320,182	)	$	(154,200	)
Cash provided by financing activities	$	415,497		$	430,892		$	(15,395	)

Net cash provided by operating activities. Net cash provided by operating activities increased by $16.4 million to $61.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $45.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental cash flows from property acquisitions completed subsequent to January 1, 2018, and the increase in Cash NOI from our Same Properties Portfolio, partially offset by changes in working capital and higher cash paid interest.

Net cash used in investing activities. Net cash used in investing activities increased by $154.2 million to $474.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $320.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to a $134.3 million increase in cash paid for property acquisitions and acquisition related deposits and a $24.1 million decrease in net cash proceeds received from the sale of properties, partially offset by a $4.2 million decrease in cash paid for construction and repositioning projects for comparable periods.

Net cash provided by financing activities. Net cash provided by financing activities decreased by $15.4 million to $415.5 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to $430.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018. The decrease was primarily attributable to the following: (i) a decrease of $216.0 million in draws on the Revolver, (ii) a decrease of $150.0 million in borrowings on the $150 Million Term Loan Facility and (iii) an increase of $10.6 million in dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and unit holders resulting from the increase in the number of common shares outstanding and the increase in our quarterly per share cash dividend. These decreases in cash flows were partially offset by the following: (i) a decrease of $276.0 million in paydowns on the Revolver, (ii) an increase of $83.1 million in net cash proceeds from the sale of shares of our common stock and (iii) a decrease of $1.7 million in deferred loan costs.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. A key market risk we face is interest rate risk. We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of using variable-rate debt to satisfy various short-term and long-term liquidity needs, which have interest rates based upon LIBOR. We use interest rate swaps to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings. Because actual interest rate movements over time are uncertain, our swaps pose potential interest rate risks, notably if interest rates fall. We also expose ourselves to credit risk, which we attempt to minimize by contracting with highly-rated banking financial counterparties. For a summary of our outstanding variable-rate debt, see Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Liquidity and Capital Resources. For a summary of our interest rate swaps, see Note 7 to our consolidated financial statements.

As of June 30, 2019, the $100 Million Term Loan Facility has been effectively fixed through the use of one interest rate swap. The interest rate swap has a notional value of $100.0 million, an effective date of December 14, 2018, a maturity date of August 14, 2021, and currently fixes the annual interest rate payable on the $100 Million Term Loan Facility at 1.764% plus an applicable LIBOR margin under the terms of the Credit Facility.

As of June 30, 2019, the $225 Million Term Loan Facility has been effectively fixed through the use of two interest rate swaps. The first interest rate swap has a notional value of $125.0 million, an effective date of February 14, 2018, a maturity date of January 14, 2022, and currently fixes the annual interest rate payable at 1.349% plus an applicable LIBOR margin under the terms of the $225 Million Term Loan Facility. The second interest rate swap has a notional value of $100.0 million, an effective date of August 14, 2018, a maturity date of January 14, 2022, and currently fixes the annual interest rate payable at 1.406% plus an applicable LIBOR margin under the terms of the $225 Million Term Loan Facility.

On December 6, 2018, we entered into an interest rate swap transaction to manage our exposure to fluctuations in variable interest rate associated with the $150 Million Term Loan Facility. The interest rate swap has a notional value of $150.0 million with an effective date of July 22, 2019, and a maturity date of November 22, 2024. The interest rate swap will effectively fix the annual interest rate payable on the $150 Million Term Loan Facility at 2.7625% plus an applicable margin under the terms of the $150 Million Term Loan Facility.

At June 30, 2019, we had total consolidated indebtedness, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs and discounts, of $761.0 million. Of this total amount, $552.5 million, or 73%, had an interest rate that was effectively fixed under the terms of the loan or an interest rate swap. The remaining $208.5 million, or 27%, comprises our variable-rate debt. Based upon the amount of variable-rate debt outstanding as of June 30, 2019, if LIBOR were to increase by 50 basis points, the increase in interest expense on our variable-rate debt would decrease our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.0 million annually. If LIBOR were to decrease by 50 basis points, the decrease in interest expense on our variable-rate debt would increase our future earnings and cash flows by approximately $1.0 million annually.

Interest risk amounts are our management’s estimates and were determined by considering the effect of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. We calculate interest sensitivity by multiplying the amount of variable rate debt outstanding by the respective change in rate. The sensitivity analysis does not take into consideration possible changes in the balances or fair value of our floating rate debt or the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur in that environment. Further, in the event of a change of that magnitude, we may take actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, this analysis assumes no changes in our financial structure.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports under the Exchange Act is processed, recorded, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Security and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to management, including the Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognizes that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer, regarding the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2019, the end of the period covered by this report.

Based on the foregoing, our Co-Chief Executive Officers and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of June 30, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.
