Item 1. Business
Certain Definitions
In this report:
We define “GAAP” as generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
We define “total annualized base rental revenue” as the contractual monthly base rent as of December 31, 2020 (which differs from rent calculated in accordance with GAAP) multiplied by 12. If a tenant is in a free rent period as of December 31, 2020, the total annualized base rental revenue is calculated based on the first contractual monthly base rent amount multiplied by 12.
We define “occupancy rate” as the percentage of total leasable square footage for which either revenue recognition has commenced in accordance with GAAP or the lease term has commenced as of the close of the reporting period, whichever occurs earlier.
We define the “Value Add Portfolio” as properties that meet any of the following criteria: (i) less than 75% occupied as of the acquisition date; (ii) will be less than 75% occupied due to known move-outs within two years of the acquisition date; (iii) out of service with significant physical renovation of the asset; or (iv) development.
We define “Stabilization” for properties being redeveloped as the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or 12 months after completion. With respect to properties acquired and immediately added to the Value Add Portfolio, (i) if acquired with less than 75% occupancy as of the acquisition date, Stabilization will occur upon the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or 12 months from the acquisition date; or (ii) if acquired and will be less than 75% occupied due to known move-outs within two years of the acquisition date, Stabilization will occur upon the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy after the known move-outs have occurred or 12 months after the known move-outs have occurred.
4
We define the “Operating Portfolio” as all warehouse and light manufacturing assets that were acquired stabilized or have achieved Stabilization. The Operating Portfolio excludes non-core flex/office assets, assets contained in the Value Add Portfolio, and assets classified as held for sale.
We define a “Comparable Lease” as a lease in the same space with a similar lease structure as compared to the previous in-place lease, excluding new leases for space that was not occupied under our ownership.
We define “SL Rent Change” as the percentage change in the average monthly base rent over the term of the lease that commenced during the period compared to the Comparable Lease for assets included in the Operating Portfolio. Rent under gross or similar type leases are converted to a net rent based on an estimate of the applicable recoverable expenses, and this calculation excludes the impact of any holdover rent.
We define “Cash Rent Change” as the percentage change in the base rent of the lease commenced during the period compared to the base rent of the Comparable Lease for assets included in the Operating Portfolio. The calculation compares the first base rent payment due after the lease commencement date compared to the base rent of the last monthly payment due prior to the termination of the lease, excluding holdover rent. Rent under gross or similar type leases are converted to a net rent based on an estimate of the applicable recoverable expenses.
We define a “New Lease” as any lease that is signed for an initial term equal to or greater than 12 months for any vacant space, including a lease signed by a new tenant or an existing tenant that is expanding into new (additional) space.
We define “Renewal Lease” as a lease signed by an existing tenant to extend the term for 12 months or more, including (i) a renewal of the same space as the current lease at lease expiration, (ii) a renewal of only a portion of the current space at lease expiration, or (iii) an early renewal or workout, which ultimately does extend the original term for 12 months or more.
Overview
We are a REIT focused on the acquisition, ownership and operation of single-tenant, industrial properties throughout the United States. We seek to (i) identify properties for acquisition that offer relative value across all locations, industrial property types, and tenants through the principled application of our proprietary risk assessment model, (ii) operate our properties in an efficient, cost-effective manner, and (iii) capitalize our business appropriately given the characteristics of our assets. We are a Maryland corporation and our common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange (“NYSE”) under the symbol “STAG.”
We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”), and generally are not subject to federal income tax to the extent we currently distribute our income to our stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We remain subject to state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
As of December 31, 2020, we owned 492 buildings in 39 states with approximately 98.2 million rentable square feet, consisting of 409 warehouse/distribution buildings, 73 light manufacturing buildings, eight flex/office buildings, one Value Add Portfolio building, and one building classified as held for sale. We own both single- and multi-tenant properties, although we focus on the former. As of December 31, 2020, our buildings were approximately 96.9% leased to 444 tenants, with no single tenant accounting for more than approximately 3.8% of our total annualized base rental revenue and no single industry accounting for more than approximately 12.4% of our total annualized base rental revenue. We intend to maintain a diversified mix of tenants to limit our exposure to any single tenant.
As of December 31, 2020, our Operating Portfolio was approximately 97.2% leased and our SL Rent Change on new and renewal leases together grew approximately 8.2% and 18.2% during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively and our Cash Rent Change on new and renewal leases together grew approximately 2.2% and 10.0% during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
We have a fully-integrated acquisition, leasing and asset management platform, and our senior management team has a significant amount of single-tenant, industrial real estate experience. Our mission is to continue to be a disciplined, relative value investor and a leading owner and operator of single-tenant, industrial properties in the United States. We seek to deliver attractive stockholder returns in all market environments by providing a covered dividend combined with accretive growth.
5
We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, also known as an UPREIT, and own all of our properties and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership, which we control and manage. As of December 31, 2020, we owned approximately 98.0% of the common equity of our Operating Partnership, and our current and former executive officers, directors, senior employees and their affiliates, and third parties who contributed properties to us in exchange for common equity in our Operating Partnership, owned the remaining 2.0%. We completed our initial public offering of common stock and related formation transactions, pursuant to which we succeeded our predecessor, on April 20, 2011.
Our Strategy
Our primary business objectives are to own and operate a balanced and diversified portfolio of binary risk investments (individual single-tenant industrial properties) that maximize cash flows available for distribution to our stockholders, and to enhance stockholder value over time by achieving sustainable long-term growth in distributable cash flow from operations per share.
We believe that our focus on owning and operating a portfolio of individually-acquired, single-tenant industrial properties throughout the United States will, when compared to other real estate portfolios, generate returns for our stockholders that are attractive in light of the associated risks for the following reasons.
•Buyers tend to price an individual, single-tenant, industrial property according to the binary nature of its cash flows; with only one potential tenant, any one property is either generating revenue or not. Furthermore, tenants typically cover operating expenses at a property and when a property is not generating revenue, we, as owners, are responsible for paying these expenses. We believe the market prices these properties are based upon a higher risk profile due to the single-tenant nature of these properties and therefore applies a lower value relative to a diversified cash flowing investment.
•The acquisition and contribution of these single-tenant properties to an aggregated portfolio of these individual binary risk cash flows creates diversification, thereby lowering risk and creating value.
•Industrial properties generally require less capital expenditure than other commercial property types and single-tenant properties generally require less expenditure for leasing, operating and capital costs per property than multi-tenant properties.
•Other institutional, industrial real estate buyers tend to focus on properties and portfolios in a select few primary markets. In contrast, we focus on individual properties across many markets. As a result, our typical competitors are local investors who often do not have the same access to debt or equity capital as us. In our fragmented, predominantly non-institutional environment, a sophisticated, institutional platform with access to capital has execution and operational advantages.
Our focus on single-tenant properties is not exclusive; we also own multi-tenant properties, as a result of acquiring properties with more than one tenant or of originally single-tenant properties re-leasing to multiple tenants.
Regulation
General
We are subject to various laws, ordinances, rules and regulations of the United States and the states and local municipalities in which we own properties, including regulations relating to common areas and fire and safety requirements. We believe that we or our tenants, as applicable, have the necessary permits and approvals to operate each of our properties.
Americans with Disabilities Act
Our properties must comply with Title III of the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990, as amended (the “ADA”) to the extent that such properties are “public accommodations” as defined under the ADA. Under the ADA, places of public accommodation must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. The ADA may require removal of structural barriers to access by persons with disabilities in certain public areas of our properties where such removal is readily achievable. Although we believe that the properties in our portfolio in the aggregate substantially comply with current requirements of the ADA, and we have not received any notice for correction from any regulatory agency, we have not conducted a comprehensive audit or investigation of all of our properties to determine whether we are in compliance and therefore we may own properties that are not in compliance with the ADA.
6
ADA compliance is dependent upon the tenant’s specific use of the property, and as the use of a property changes or improvements to existing spaces are made, we will take steps to ensure compliance. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in additional costs to attain compliance, the imposition of fines by the federal government or the award of damages or attorney’s fees to private litigants. The obligation to make readily achievable accommodations is an ongoing one, and we will continue to assess our properties and to make alterations to achieve compliance as necessary.
Environmental Matters
Our properties are subject to various federal, state and local environmental laws. Under these laws, courts and government agencies have the authority to require us, as the owner of a contaminated property, to clean up the property, even if we did not know of or were not responsible for the contamination. These laws also apply to persons who owned a property at the time it became contaminated, and therefore it is possible we could incur these costs even after we sell a property. In addition to the costs of cleanup, environmental contamination can affect the value of a property and, therefore, an owner’s ability to borrow using the property as collateral or to sell the property. Under applicable environmental laws, courts and government agencies also have the authority to require that a person who sent waste to a waste disposal facility, such as a landfill or an incinerator, pay for the clean-up of that facility if it becomes contaminated and threatens human health or the environment. We invest in properties historically used for industrial, light manufacturing and commercial purposes. Some of our properties contain, or may have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain, underground storage tanks used to store petroleum products and other hazardous or toxic substances, which create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. We also own properties that are on or are adjacent to or near other properties upon which other persons, including former owners or tenants of our properties, have engaged, or may in the future engage, in activities that may generate or release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances.
Environmental laws in the United States also require that owners of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, adequately inform or train those who may come into contact with asbestos and undertake special precautions, including removal or other abatement, in the event that asbestos is disturbed during building renovation or demolition. These laws may impose fines and penalties on owners or who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos. Some of our buildings are known to have asbestos containing materials, and others, due to the age of the building and observed conditions, are suspected of having asbestos containing materials. We do not believe these conditions will materially and adversely affect us. In most or all instances, no immediate action was recommended to address the conditions.
Furthermore, various court decisions have established that third parties may recover damages for injury caused by property contamination. For instance, a person exposed to asbestos at one of our properties may seek to recover damages if he or she suffers injury from the asbestos. Lastly, some of these environmental laws restrict the use of a property or place conditions on various activities. An example would be laws that require a business using chemicals to manage them carefully and to notify local officials that the chemicals are being used.
We could be responsible for any of the costs discussed above. The costs to clean up a contaminated property, to defend against a claim, or to comply with environmental laws could be material and could adversely affect the funds available for distribution to our stockholders. All of our properties were subject to a Phase I or similar environmental assessment by independent environmental consultants at the time of acquisition. We generally expect to continue to obtain a Phase I or similar environmental assessment by independent environmental consultants on each property prior to acquiring it. However, these environmental assessments may not reveal all environmental costs that might have a material adverse effect on our business, assets, results of operations or liquidity and may not identify all potential environmental liabilities.
At the time of acquisition, we add each property to our portfolio environmental insurance policy that provides coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations.
We can make no assurances that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose material environmental liabilities on us, or the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by tenants, the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of our properties (such as releases from underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to us.
Insurance
We carry comprehensive general liability, fire, extended coverage and rental loss insurance covering all of the properties in our portfolio under a blanket insurance policy. In addition, we maintain a portfolio environmental insurance policy that provides coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. Generally, we do
7
not carry insurance for certain losses, including, but not limited to, losses caused by floods (unless the property is located in a flood plain), earthquakes, acts of war, acts of terrorism or riots. We carry employment practices liability insurance that covers us against claims by employees, former employees or potential employees for various employment related matters including wrongful termination, discrimination, sexual harassment in the workplace, hostile work environment, and retaliation, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. We carry comprehensive cyber liability insurance coverage that covers us against claims related to certain first party and third party losses including data restoration costs, crisis management expenses, credit monitoring costs, failure to implement and maintain reasonable security procedures, invasion of customer’s privacy and negligence, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations. We also carry directors and officers insurance. We believe the policy specifications and insured limits are appropriate and adequate given the relative risk of loss, the cost of the coverage and standard industry practice; however, our insurance coverage may not be sufficient to cover all of our losses.
Competition
In acquiring our target properties, we compete primarily with local or regional operators due to the smaller, single asset (versus portfolio) focus of our acquisition strategy. From time to time we compete with other public industrial property sector REITs, single-tenant REITs, income oriented non-traded REITs, and private real estate funds. Local real estate investors historically have represented our predominant competition for deals and they typically do not have the same access to capital that we do as a publicly traded institution. We also face significant competition from owners and managers of competing properties in leasing our properties to prospective tenants and in re-leasing space to existing tenants.
Operating Segments
We manage our operations on an aggregated, single segment basis for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions, and accordingly, have only one reporting and operating segment. See Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements under “Segment Reporting.”
Human Capital Management
We believe that demonstrating strong financial performance while also promoting awareness and respect for fundamental human rights is important to long-term value creation, business continuity and corporate success. As part of our commitment to providing a work environment that attracts, develops and retains high-performing individuals and that treats employees with dignity and respect:
•We offer equal employment opportunities to all of our employees and seek to foster a diverse and vibrant workplace with employees who possess a broad range of experiences, backgrounds and skills. We continually assess and strive to enhance employee satisfaction and engagement. Our employees, many of whom have a relatively long tenure with our company, are offered regular opportunities to participate in personal growth and professional development programs and social or team building events. We seek to identify and develop future leaders within our company and periodically review with our Chief Executive Officer and board of directors the identity, skills and characteristics of those persons who could succeed to senior and executive positions.
•We endeavor to maintain a workplace free from discrimination or harassment on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, genetic information, national origin, ancestry, age, disability, military or veteran status, and political affiliate or activities, among others. We conduct training to prevent discrimination and harassment and monitor and address employee conduct.
•We are committed to compensating our employees well and at competitive industry rates while, at the same time, monitoring our compensation programs to ensure that we are continuously attracting and retaining top talent. We also provide our employees with highly competitive health and wellness benefits, including medical, dental, vision, life and short-term disability insurance, with the premiums therefor entirely paid by the Company. We also offer flexible spending accounts for medical and dependent care, a program to pay commuting and office parking costs with pre-tax income and a competitive vacation policy, including paid holidays, personal time off and a variety of leave benefits. In addition, in response to the outbreak of COVID-19 in the United States, we prioritized the health and safety of our employees. By mid-March, we transitioned substantially all employees to working remotely with no disruption to our financial, operational, communications and other systems.
8
•We seek to foster a corporate culture where our many stakeholders, including our employees, engage in the topic of community development and collaborate to extend resources towards the advancement of this principle. In furtherance of this commitment, we partner with and support local charitable organizations that we believe are contributing to the growth and development of the community, particularly at-risk youth. In recent years, our employees have donated and coordinated substantial fundraising and have spent many hours volunteering to support children and young adults through a variety of charities with which we partner.
As of December 31, 2020, we employed 78 employees. None of our employees are represented by a labor union.
Additional information regarding our human capital programs and initiatives will be included in our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2021 Annual Meeting of Stockholders and is currently available under the “Corporate Responsibility” section of our website at www.stagindustrial.com.

Our Corporate Structure
We were incorporated in Maryland on July 21, 2010, and our Operating Partnership was formed as a Delaware limited partnership on December 21, 2009.
We are structured as an UPREIT; our publicly-traded entity, STAG Industrial, Inc., is the REIT in the UPREIT structure, and our Operating Partnership is the umbrella partnership. We own a majority, but not all, of the Operating Partnership. We also wholly own the sole general partner (the manager) of the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of our assets are held in, and substantially all of our operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership. Shares of our common stock are traded on the NYSE under the symbol “STAG.” The limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, which we sometimes refer to as “common units,” are not and cannot be publicly traded, although they may provide liquidity through an exchange feature described below. Our UPREIT structure allows us to acquire properties on a tax-deferred basis by issuing common units in exchange for the property.
The common units of limited partnership interest in our Operating Partnership correlate on a one-for-one economic basis to the shares of common stock in the REIT. Each common unit receives the same distribution as a share of our common stock, the value of each common unit is tied to the value of a share of our common stock and each common unit, after one year, generally may be redeemed (that is, exchanged) for cash in an amount equivalent to the value of a share of common stock or, if we choose, for a share of common stock on a one-for-one basis. When redeeming common units for cash, the value of a share of common stock is calculated as the average common stock closing price on the NYSE for the 10 trading days immediately preceding the redemption notice date.

Item 1A. Risk Factors
The following risk factors and other information included in this Annual Report on Form 10-K should be carefully considered. The risks and uncertainties described below are not the only risks we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not presently known to us or that we may currently deem immaterial also may impair our business operations. If any of the following or other
10
risks occur, our business, operating results, financial condition, cash flows and distributions, as well as the market prices for our securities, could be materially adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Business and Operations
The COVID-19 pandemic or any future pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of infectious disease could have material and adverse effects on our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows and the markets in which we operate.
The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global economic activity, caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets and has had adverse effects on almost every industry, directly or indirectly. Additionally, in June 2020, the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the United States entered into a recession in February 2020. The COVID-19 pandemic or any future pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of infectious disease could have material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows due to, among other factors:
•government authorities requiring the closure of offices or other businesses or instituting quarantines of personnel as the result of, or in order to avoid, exposure to a contagious disease;
•disruption in supply and delivery chains;
•a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate;
•the repurposing or redevelopment of retail properties made defunct by the pandemic into industrial properties;
•reduced economic activity, general economic decline or recession, which may impact our tenants’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of lease obligations;
•difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions, which may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis; and
•the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of our employees are impacted, which would result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.
While we did not incur significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic during the year ended December 31, 2020, a number of our tenants requested rent deferral or rent abatement as a result of the pandemic. In response to such requests, we entered into rent deferral agreement with certain tenants which resulted in approximately $2.1 million of rent deferrals during the year ended December 31, 2020.
The ultimate adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on our business and operations, our tenant’s business and operations or the global economy as a whole. While the spread of COVID-19 may eventually be contained or mitigated, there is no guarantee that a future outbreak or any other widespread epidemics will not occur, or that the global economy will recover, either of which could materially harm our business. The COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our business, operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Moreover, many risk factors set forth below should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Adverse economic conditions may adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
Our operating results and financial condition may be affected by market and economic challenges and uncertainties, which may result from a general economic downturn experienced by the nation as a whole, by the local economies where our properties are located or our tenants conduct business, or by the real estate industry, including the following:
•poor economic conditions may result in tenant defaults under leases and extended vacancies at our properties;
•re-leasing may require concessions or reduced rental rates under the new leases due to reduced demand;
•adverse capital and credit market conditions may restrict our operating activities; and
11
•constricted access to credit may result in tenant defaults, non-renewals under leases or inability of potential buyers to acquire properties held for sale.
Also, to the extent we purchase real estate in an unstable market, we are subject to the risk that if the real estate market ceases to attract the same level of capital investment in the future, or the number of companies seeking to acquire properties decreases, the value of our investments may not appreciate or may decrease significantly below the amount we paid for these investments. Our operating results and financial condition could be negatively affected to the extent that an economic slowdown or downturn is prolonged or becomes more severe.
Our investments are concentrated in the industrial real estate sector, and we would be adversely affected by an economic downturn in that sector.
As of December 31, 2020, the majority of our buildings were industrial properties. This concentration may expose us to the risk of economic downturns in the industrial real estate sector to a greater extent than if our properties were more diversified across other sectors of the real estate industry.
We are subject to geographic and industry concentrations that make us susceptible to adverse events with respect to certain markets and industries.
We are subject to certain geographic and industry concentrations with respect to our properties. See the “Geographic Diversification” table in Item 2, “Properties” for details of geographic concentration of our properties and the “Industry Diversification” table in Item 2, “Properties” for details of industry concentration of our properties. As a result of these concentrations, any adverse event or downturn in local economic conditions or industry conditions, changes in state or local governmental rules and regulations, acts of nature, epidemics, pandemics or other public health crises (including the COVID-19 pandemic) and actions taken in response thereto, and other factors affecting these markets or industries could adversely affect us and our tenants operating in those markets or industries. If any tenant is unable to withstand such adverse event or downturn or is otherwise unable to compete effectively in its market or business, it may be unable to meet its rental obligations, seek rental concessions, be unable to enter into new leases or forced to declare bankruptcy and reject our leases, which could materially and adversely affect us.
We have owned many of our properties for a limited time, and we may not be aware of characteristics or deficiencies involving any one or all of them.
Of the properties in our portfolio at December 31, 2020, 262 buildings totaling approximately 54.8 million rentable square feet have been acquired in the past five years. These properties may have characteristics or deficiencies unknown to us that could affect their valuation or revenue potential and such properties may not ultimately perform up to our expectations. We cannot assure you that the operating performance of the properties will not decline under our management.
Our growth depends upon future acquisitions of properties, and we may be unable to consummate acquisitions on advantageous terms and acquisitions may not perform as we expect.
The acquisition of properties entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as we expect. Our ability to continue to acquire properties in our pipeline that we believe to be suitable and compatible with our growth strategy may be constrained by numerous factors, including our ability to negotiate and execute a mutually-acceptable definitive purchase and sale agreement with the seller, our completion of satisfactory due diligence and the satisfaction of customary closing conditions, including the receipt of third-party consents and approvals. Further, we face competition for attractive investment opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded and non-traded REITs, private equity investors and other institutional investment funds that may have greater financial resources and a greater ability to borrow funds to acquire properties, the ability to offer more attractive terms to prospective tenants and the willingness to accept greater risk or lower returns than we can prudently manage. This competition may increase the demand for our target properties and, therefore, reduce the number of, or increase the price for, suitable acquisition opportunities, all of which could materially and adversely affect us. This competition will increase as investments in real estate become increasingly attractive relative to other forms of investment. In addition, we expect to finance future acquisitions through a combination of secured and unsecured borrowings, proceeds from equity or debt offerings by us or our Operating Partnership or its subsidiaries and proceeds from property contributions and divestitures which may not be available and which could adversely affect our cash flows.
12
We may face risks associated with acquiring properties in unfamiliar markets.
We have acquired, and may continue to acquire, properties in markets that are new to us. When we acquire properties located in these markets, we face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy (including that competitors and counterparties may have much greater knowledge and understanding), forging new business relationships in the area and unfamiliarity with local government and laws.
A significant portion of our properties have leases that expire in the next two years and we may be unable to renew leases, lease vacant space or re-lease space on favorable terms
Our operating results, cash flows, cash available for distribution, and the market price of our securities would be adversely affected if we are unable to lease, on economically favorable terms, a significant amount of space in our properties. Our properties may have some level of vacancy at the time of our acquisition and may incur a vacancy either by the continued default of a tenant under its lease or the expiration of one of our leases. As of December 31, 2020, leases with respect to approximately 18.2% (excluding month-to-month leases) of our total annualized base rental revenue will expire before December 31, 2022. We cannot assure you that expiring leases will be renewed or that our properties will be re-leased at base rental rates equal to or above the current market rental rates. In addition, our ability to release space at attractive rental rates will depend on (i) whether the property is specifically suited to the particular needs of a tenant and (ii) the number of vacant or partially vacant industrial properties in a market or sub-market. In connection with a vacancy at one of our properties, we may face difficulty obtaining, or be unable to obtain, a new tenant for the vacant space. If the vacancy continues for a long period of time, we may suffer reduced revenue resulting in less cash available for distribution to stockholders and the resale value of the property could be diminished.
We face significant competition for tenants, which may negatively impact the occupancy and rental rates at our properties.
We compete with other owners, operators and developers of real estate, some of which own industrial properties in the same markets and sub-markets in which our properties are located. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose potential tenants, and we may be pressured to lower our rental rates or to offer more substantial tenant improvements, early termination rights, below-market renewal options or other lease incentive payments to remain competitive. Competition for tenants could negatively impact the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.
Default by one or more of our tenants could materially and adversely affect us, and bankruptcy laws limit our remedies in the event of a tenant default.
Any of our tenants may experience an adverse event or downturn in its business at any time that may significantly weaken its financial condition or cause its failure, as has occurred during the pendency of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, such a tenant may fail to make rental payments when due, decline to extend or renew its lease upon expiration and/or declare bankruptcy and reject our lease. The default, financial distress or bankruptcy of a tenant could cause interruptions in the receipt of rental revenue and/or result in a vacancy, which is, in the case of a single-tenant property, likely to result in the complete reduction in the operating cash flows generated by the property and may decrease the value of that property. In addition, a majority of our leases generally require the tenant to pay all or substantially all of the operating expenses associated with the ownership of the property, such as utilities, real estate taxes, insurance and routine maintenance. Following a vacancy at a single-tenant property, we will be responsible for all of the operating costs at such property until it can be re-let, if at all.
The bankruptcy or insolvency of a tenant could diminish the income we receive from that tenant’s lease and we may not be able to evict a tenant solely because of its bankruptcy filing. On the other hand, a bankruptcy court might authorize the tenant to terminate its lease with us. If that happens, our claim against the bankrupt tenant for unpaid future rent would be an unsecured pre-petition claim, subject to statutory limitations, and therefore such amounts received in bankruptcy are likely to be substantially less than the remaining rent we otherwise were owed under the lease. In addition, any claim we have for unpaid past rent could be substantially less than the amount owed.
If our tenants are unable to obtain financing necessary to continue to operate their businesses and pay us rent, we could be materially and adversely affected.
Many of our tenants rely on external sources of financing to operate their businesses. The U.S. financial and credit markets may experience liquidity disruptions, resulting in the unavailability of financing for many businesses. If any of these tenants is unable to obtain financing necessary to continue to operate its business, it may be unable to meet its rental obligations, unable to enter into new leases or forced to declare bankruptcy and reject our leases, which could materially and adversely affect us.

Risks Related to Our Organization and Structure
Our growth depends on external sources of capital, which are outside of our control and affect our ability to finance acquisitions, take advantage of strategic opportunities, satisfy debt obligations and make distributions to stockholders.
In order to maintain our qualification as a REIT, we are generally required under the Code to annually distribute at least 90% of our net taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding any net capital gain. In addition, we will be subject to federal income tax at regular corporate rates to the extent that we distribute less than 100% of our net taxable income, including any net capital gains. Because of these requirements, we may not be able to fund future capital needs, including acquisition financing, from operating cash flow and rely on third-party sources to fund our capital needs. Our access to third-party sources of capital depends, in part, on general market conditions, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current debt levels, our current and expected future earnings, our cash flow and distributions and the market price of our common stock. If we cannot raise equity or obtain financing from third-party sources on favorable terms, or at all, we may not be able to acquire properties when opportunities exist, meet the capital and operating needs of our existing properties or satisfy our debt service obligations. To the extent that capital is not available to acquire properties, profits may not be realized or their realization may be delayed, which could result in an earnings stream that is less predictable than some of our competitors or a failure to meet our projected earnings and distributable cash flow levels in a particular reporting period.
Further, in order to meet the REIT distribution requirements and avoid the payment of income and excise taxes, we may need to borrow funds on a short-term basis even if the then-prevailing market conditions are not favorable for these borrowings. These short-term borrowing needs could result from differences in timing between the actual receipt of cash and inclusion of income for federal income tax purposes or the effect of non-deductible capital expenditures, the creation of reserves, certain restrictions on distributions under loan documents or required debt or amortization payments.
Certain provisions of our governing documents and Maryland law may delay or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might be in the best interest of stockholders.
Our charter and bylaws, the Operating Partnership agreement and Maryland law contain provisions that may delay or prevent a transaction or a change of control, including, among other provisions, the following:
Our charter contains 9.8% ownership limits. Our charter, subject to certain exceptions, authorizes our directors to take such actions as are necessary and desirable to limit any person to actual or constructive ownership of no more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our capital stock and no more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of the outstanding shares of our common stock. In addition, our charter provides that generally no person may own more than 9.8% in value or in number of shares, whichever is more restrictive, of our outstanding 6.875% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Series C Preferred Stock”). While our board of directors, in its sole discretion, may exempt a proposed transferee from the ownership limits, it may not grant an exemption to any proposed transferee whose ownership could jeopardize our REIT status. These ownership limits may delay or prevent a transaction or a change of control that might be in the best interest of stockholders.
Our board of directors may create and issue a class or series of preferred stock without stockholder approval. Subject to the rights of holders of Series C Preferred Stock, our board of directors may amend our charter, without stockholder approval, to (i) increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares of common stock or the number of shares of stock of any class or series, (ii) designate and issue from time to time one or more classes or series of preferred stock, (iii) classify or reclassify any unissued shares of stock, and (iv) determine the relative rights, preferences and privileges of any class or series of preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock could have the effect of delaying or preventing a transaction or a change of control that might be in the best interests of stockholders.
Certain provisions in the Operating Partnership agreement may delay or prevent a change of control. Provisions in the Operating Partnership agreement could discourage third parties from making proposals involving an unsolicited acquisition or change of control transaction, although some stockholders might consider such proposals, if made, desirable. These provisions include, among others, redemption rights, transfer restrictions on our common units, the ability of the general partner to amend certain provisions in the Operating Partnership agreement without the consent of limited partners and the right of limited partners to consent to certain mergers and transfers of the general partnership interest. In addition, any potential change of control transaction may be further limited as a result of provisions related to the LTIP units, which require us to preserve the rights of LTIP unit holders and may restrict us from amending the Operating Partnership agreement in a manner that would have an adverse effect on the rights of LTIP unit holders.
Certain provisions of Maryland law could delay or prevent a change in control. Title 8, Subtitle 3 of the Maryland General Corporation Law (“MGCL”), permits our board of directors, without stockholder approval and regardless of what is currently
14
provided in our charter or bylaws, to implement takeover defenses, some of which (for example, a classified board) we do not currently have. These provisions and other provisions of Maryland law may have the effect of inhibiting a third party from making an acquisition proposal for our company or delaying or preventing a change of control under circumstances that might be in the best interest of stockholders.
Our board of directors can take many actions without stockholder approval.
Our board of directors has the general authority to oversee our operations and determine our major corporate policies. This authority includes significant flexibility and allows the board to take many actions, without stockholder approval, that could increase our operating expenses, impact our ability to make distributions or reduce the value of our assets. For example, our board of directors can, among other things, (i) change our investment, financing and borrowing strategies and our policies with respect to all other activities, including distributions, leasing, debt, capitalization and operations (including creditworthiness standards with respect to our tenants), (ii) subject to provisions in our charter, prevent the ownership, transfer and accumulation of shares in order to protect our status as a REIT or for any other reason deemed to be in the best interests of us and our stockholders, (iii) issue additional shares (which could dilute the ownership of existing stockholders) and, subject to the rights of holders of Series C Preferred Stock, increase or decrease the aggregate number of shares or the number of shares of any class or series or classify or reclassify any unissued shares, without obtaining stockholder approval, and (iv) determine that it is no longer in our best interests to continue to qualify as a REIT.
Our rights and the rights of our stockholders to take action against our directors and officers are limited.
Maryland law provides that a director or officer has no liability in that capacity if he or she performs his or her duties in good faith, in a manner he or she reasonably believes to be in our best interests and with the care that an ordinarily prudent person in a like position would use under similar circumstances. In addition, our charter eliminates our directors’ and officers’ liability to us and our stockholders for monetary damages, except for liability resulting from actual receipt of an improper benefit or profit in money, property or services or active and deliberate dishonesty established by a final judgment and which is material to the cause of action. Our bylaws require us to indemnify our directors and officers to the maximum extent permitted by Maryland law for liability actually incurred in connection with any proceeding to which they may be made, or threatened to be made, a party, except to the extent that the act or omission of the director or officer was material to the matter giving rise to the proceeding and was either committed in bad faith or was the result of active and deliberate dishonesty, the director or officer actually received an improper personal benefit in money, property or services, or, in the case of any criminal proceeding, the director or officer had reasonable cause to believe that the act or omission was unlawful. As a result, we and our stockholders may have more limited rights against our directors and officers than might otherwise exist under common law. In addition, we may be obligated to fund the defense costs incurred by our directors and officers.
Our fiduciary duties as sole member of the general partner of our Operating Partnership could create conflicts of interest, which may impede business decisions that could benefit our stockholders.
We have fiduciary duties to the other limited partners in our Operating Partnership, including members of our senior management team and board who are limited partners in our Operating Partnership through the receipt of common units or long-term incentive plan units in our Operating Partnership (“LTIP units”) granted under the STAG Industrial, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2011 Plan”), the discharge of which may conflict with the interests of our stockholders. In addition, those persons holding common units will have the right to vote on certain amendments to the Operating Partnership agreement. These voting rights may be exercised in a manner that conflicts with the interests of our stockholders. For example, we are unable to modify the rights of limited partners to receive distributions as set forth in the Operating Partnership agreement in a manner that adversely affects their rights without their consent, even though such modification might be in the best interest of our stockholders.
Conflicts also may arise when the interests of our stockholders and the limited partners of our Operating Partnership diverge, particularly in circumstances in which there may be an adverse tax consequence to the limited partners. As a result of unrealized built-in gain attributable to contributed properties at the time of contribution, some holders of common units, including members of our management team, may suffer more adverse tax consequences than our stockholders upon the sale or refinancing of certain properties, including disproportionately greater allocations of items of taxable income and gain upon a realization event. As those holders will not receive a correspondingly greater distribution of cash proceeds, they may have different objectives regarding the appropriate pricing, timing and other material terms of any sale or refinancing of certain properties, or whether to sell or refinance such properties at all.
15
We are subject to financial reporting and other requirements for which our accounting, internal audit and other systems and resources may not be adequately prepared and we may not be able to accurately report our financial results.
We are subject to reporting and other obligations under the Exchange Act, including the requirements of Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002. Section 404 requires annual management assessments of the effectiveness of our internal controls over financial reporting and a report by our independent registered public accounting firm addressing these assessments. These reporting and other obligations place significant demands on our management, administrative, operational, internal audit and accounting resources and cause us to incur significant expenses. We may need to upgrade our systems or create new systems; implement additional financial and management controls, reporting systems and procedures; expand our internal audit function; or hire additional accounting, internal audit and finance staff. Any failure to maintain effective internal controls could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and market prices of our securities.
Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Stock
The market price and trading volume of our common stock may be volatile.
The market price for our common stock, particularly at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, has experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, often without regard to our operating performance. For example, during the year ended December 31, 2020, the trading price for our common stock ranged from a low of $17.54 at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic in March 2020 to a high of $34.50 in November 2020. If the market price of our common stock declines significantly, you may be unable to sell your shares at or above the price at which you acquired them. A number of factors could negatively affect the market price or trading volume of our common stock, many of which are out of our control, including:
•actual or anticipated variations in our quarterly operating results or those of our competitors;
•publication of research reports about us, our competitors, our tenants or the real estate industry;
•changes in our distribution policy;
•increases in market interest rates that lead purchasers of our shares to demand a higher yield;
•the market’s perception of equity investments in REITs and changes in market valuations of similar REITs;
•difficulties or inability to access capital or extend or refinance existing debt or an adverse market reaction to any increased indebtedness we incur in the future;
•a change in credit ratings issued by analysts or nationally recognized statistical rating organizations;
•additions or departures of key management personnel;
•actions by institutional stockholders or speculation in the press or investment community; and
•general U.S. and worldwide market and economic conditions.
The cash available for distribution to stockholders may not be sufficient to make distributions at expected levels, nor can we assure you of our ability to make distributions in the future.
Distributions will be authorized and determined by our board of directors in its sole discretion from time to time and will depend upon a number of factors, including cash available for distribution, our operating results, operating expenses and financial condition (especially in relation to our anticipated future capital needs), REIT distribution requirements under the Code and other factors the board deems relevant. Consequently, our distribution levels may fluctuate. In addition, to the extent that we make distributions in excess of our current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions would generally be considered a return of capital for federal income tax purposes to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. A return of capital is not taxable, but it has the effect of reducing the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its investment. To the extent that distributions exceed the adjusted tax basis of a holder’s shares, they will be treated as gain from the sale or exchange of such stock. Further, if we borrow funds to make distributions, our future interest costs would increase, thereby reducing our earnings and cash available for distribution from what they otherwise would have been.
16
Future offerings of debt or equity securities may adversely affect the market prices of our securities.
In the future, we may attempt to increase our capital resources by making additional offerings of debt securities, which would be senior to our common stock upon liquidation (including commercial paper, medium-term notes and senior or subordinated notes), or equity securities, which would dilute our existing stockholders and may be senior to our common stock for the purposes of distributions (including classes of preferred or common stock). Upon liquidation, holders of our debt securities and shares of preferred stock and lenders with respect to other borrowings will receive a distribution of our available assets prior to the holders of our common stock. Additional equity offerings may dilute the holdings of our existing stockholders or reduce the market prices of our securities, or both. Holders of our common stock are not entitled to preemptive rights or other protections against dilution. Our outstanding Series C Preferred Stock ranks, and future issuances of preferred stock will rank, senior to our common stock and also has, or will have, a preference upon our dissolution, liquidation or winding up of our affairs and a preference on distribution payments that could limit our ability to make distributions to holders of common stock. Because our decision to issue securities in any future offering will depend on market conditions and other factors beyond our control, we cannot predict or estimate the amount, timing or nature of our future offerings. Thus, our stockholders bear the risk of our future offerings reducing the market prices of our securities and diluting their proportionate ownership.
The number of shares of our common stock available for future sale could adversely affect the market price of our common stock, and future sales of common stock may be dilutive to existing stockholders.
Sales of a substantial number of shares of our common stock in the public market or the perception that such sales might occur could adversely affect the market price of our common stock. The exchange of common units for common stock, the vesting of equity awards granted under the 2011 Plan, the issuance of our common stock or common units in connection with acquisitions and other issuances of our common stock or common units could have an adverse effect on the market price of our common stock. In addition, the existence of shares of our common stock reserved for issuance under the 2011 Plan or upon exchange of common units may adversely affect the terms upon which we may be able to obtain additional capital through the sale of equity securities. We also have filed a registration statement with the SEC allowing us to offer, from time to time, an indefinite amount of equity securities (including common and preferred stock) on an as-needed basis and subject to our ability to affect offerings on satisfactory terms based on prevailing conditions. Our board of directors has authorized us to issue shares up to $600 million of common stock in our “at-the-market” program under such registration statement. Our ability to execute our business strategy depends on our access to an appropriate blend of debt financing, including unsecured lines of credit and other forms of secured and unsecured debt, and equity financing, including issuances of common and preferred stock. No prediction can be made about the effect that future distributions or sales of our common stock will have on the market price of our common stock. In addition, future sales by us of our common stock may be dilutive to existing stockholders.
We have previously entered into forward sale agreements and may in the future enter into additional forward sale agreements, including under our “at-the-market” program or in follow-on offerings, that subject us to certain risks. As of December 31, 2020, we remained obligated to issue (subject to our right to elect cash settlement or net share settlement) a total of 4,681,923 shares of our common stock pursuant to our existing forward sale agreements. Settlement provisions contained in our forward sale agreements could result in substantial dilution to our earnings per share and return on equity or result in substantial cash payment obligations (including upon an acceleration of the forward sale agreement by the forward purchaser under certain circumstances). In addition, in the case of our bankruptcy or insolvency, any forward sale agreement will automatically terminate, and we would not receive the expected proceeds from the sale of our common stock under such agreement.
General Real Estate Risks
Our performance is subject to general economic conditions and risks associated with our real estate assets.
The investment returns available from equity investments in real estate depend on the amount of income earned and capital appreciation generated by the properties, as well as the expenses incurred in connection with the properties. If our properties do not generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, then our ability to make distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected. In addition, there are significant expenditures associated with an investment in real estate (such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs) that generally do not decline when circumstances reduce the income from the property. Income from and the value of our properties may be adversely affected by, among other things:
•a global economic crisis that results in increased budget deficits and weakened financial condition of international, national and local governments, which may lead to reduced governmental spending, tax increases, public sector job losses, increased interest rates, currency devaluations, defaults on debt obligations or other adverse economic events;
17
•other periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur;
•tenant turnover, the attractiveness of our properties to potential tenants and changes in supply of, or demand for, similar or competing properties in an area (including from general overbuilding or excess supply in the market);
•technological changes, such as reconfiguration of supply chains, autonomous vehicles, drones, robotics, 3D printing, online marketplaces for industrial space, or other developments;
•our ability to control rental rates and changes in operating costs and expenses, including costs of compliance with tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws, rules and regulations and our potential liability thereunder;
•changes in the cost or availability of insurance, including coverage for mold or asbestos;
•unanticipated changes in costs associated with known adverse environmental conditions or retained liabilities for such conditions;
•periods of high interest rates and tight money supply;
•future terrorist attacks, which may result in declining economic activity, which could reduce the demand for, and the value of, our properties, and may adversely affect our tenants’ business and their ability to continue to honor their existing leases; and
•disruptions in the global supply chain caused by political, regulatory or other factors, including geopolitical developments outside the United States, such as the effects of the United Kingdom’s referendum to withdraw from the European Union.
Real estate investments are not as liquid as other types of investments.
The lack of liquidity in real estate investments may limit our ability to vary our portfolio and react promptly to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, significant expenditures associated with real estate investments, such as mortgage payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs, are generally not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the investments. We intend to comply with the safe harbor rules relating to the number of properties that can be sold each year, the tax basis and the costs of improvements made to such sale properties, and other items that enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on property sales. Thus, our ability at any time to sell properties or contribute properties to real estate funds or other entities in which we have an ownership interest may be restricted.
Uninsured losses may adversely affect your returns.
There are certain losses, including losses from floods, earthquakes, acts of war, acts of terrorism or riots, that are not generally insured against or that are not generally fully insured against because it is not deemed economically feasible or prudent to do so. In addition, changes in the cost or availability of insurance could expose us to uninsured casualty losses. In the event that any of our properties incurs a casualty loss that is not fully covered by insurance, the value of our assets will be reduced by the amount of any such uninsured loss, we could experience a significant loss of invested capital and potential revenue in the property, we could remain obligated under any recourse debt associated with the property, and we may have no source of funding to repair or reconstruct the damaged property. Moreover, we may be liable for our Operating Partnership’s unsatisfied recourse obligations, including any obligations incurred by our Operating Partnership as the general partner of joint ventures.
Environmentally hazardous conditions may adversely affect our operating results.
Under various federal, state and local environmental laws, a current or previous owner of real property may be liable for the cost of remediation or removing hazardous or toxic substances on such property. Such laws often impose liability whether or not the owner knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of such hazardous or toxic substances. Even if more than one person may have been responsible for the contamination, each person covered by the environmental laws may be held responsible for all of the clean‑up costs incurred. In addition, third parties may sue the property owner for damages based on personal injury, natural resources, property damage or other costs, including investigation and clean‑up costs, resulting from the
18
environmental contamination. The presence of hazardous or toxic substances on one of our properties, or the failure to properly remediate a contaminated property, could give rise to a lien in favor of the government for costs it may incur to address the contamination, or otherwise adversely affect our ability to sell or lease the property or borrow using the property as collateral. Environmental laws also may impose restrictions on the manner in which property may be used or businesses may be operated. A property owner who violates environmental laws may be subject to sanctions which may be enforced by governmental agencies or, in certain circumstances, private parties. In connection with the acquisition and ownership of our properties, we may be exposed to such costs. The costs of compliance with environmental regulatory requirements, defending against environmental claims or remediation of any contaminated property could materially adversely affect our business, operating results and cash available for distribution to stockholders.
Some of our properties contain asbestos‑containing building materials. Environmental laws require owners of buildings containing asbestos properly manage and maintain the asbestos, adequately inform or train those who may come into contact with asbestos and undertake special precautions in the event that asbestos is disturbed during building renovation or demolition. These laws may impose fines and penalties on owners who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third parties to seek recovery from owners for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos. In addition, some of our properties contain, or may have contained, or are adjacent to or near other properties that have contained or currently contain, underground storage tanks used to store petroleum products and other hazardous or toxic substances, which create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. We also own properties that are on or are adjacent to or near other properties upon which other persons, including former owners or tenants of our properties, have engaged, or may in the future engage, in activities that may release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances.
Before acquiring a property, we typically obtain a preliminary assessment of environmental conditions at the property, often referred to as “Phase I environmental site assessment.” However, this environmental assessment does not include soil sampling or subsurface investigations and typically does not include an asbestos survey. We may acquire properties with known adverse environmental conditions and/or material environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns may arise after the environmental assessment has been completed. Further, in connection with property dispositions, we may agree to remain responsible for, and to bear the cost of, remediating or monitoring certain environmental conditions on the properties. Moreover, there can be no assurance that future laws, ordinances or regulations will not impose any material environmental liability, or the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by tenants, by the condition of land or operations in the vicinity of our properties (such as releases from underground storage tanks), or by third parties unrelated to us.
We are exposed to the potential impacts of future climate change and climate change-related risks.
Our properties may be exposed to rare catastrophic weather events, such as severe storms, floods or wildfires. If the frequency of extreme weather events increases due to climate change, our exposure to these events could increase. In addition, in connection with any development, redevelopment or renovation project, we may be harmed by potential changes to the supply chain or stricter energy efficiency standards for industrial buildings. To the extent climate change causes shifts in weather patterns, our markets could experience negative consequences, including declining demand for industrial space and our inability to operate our buildings. Climate change may also have indirect negative effects on our business by increasing the cost of, or decreasing the availability of, property insurance on terms we find acceptable and increasing the cost of energy, building materials and snow removal at our properties. In addition, compliance with new laws or regulations relating to climate change, including compliance with “green” building codes, may require us to make improvements to our existing properties or result in increased operating costs that we may not be able to effectively pass on to our tenants. Any such laws or regulations could also impose substantial costs on our tenants, thereby impacting the financial condition of our tenants and their ability to meet their lease obligations and to lease or re-lease our properties.
Compliance or failure to comply with the ADA and other regulations could result in substantial costs.
Under the ADA, places of public accommodation must meet certain federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Noncompliance with these requirements could result in additional costs to attain compliance, the imposition of fines by the federal government or the award of damages or attorney’s fees to private litigants. If we are required to make unanticipated expenditures to comply with the ADA or other regulations, including removing access barriers, then our cash flows and cash available for distribution may be adversely affected. In addition, changes to the requirements set forth in the ADA or other regulations or the adoption of new requirements could require us to make significant unanticipated expenditures.
The ownership of properties subject to ground leases exposes us to certain risks.
We currently own and may acquire additional properties subject to ground leases, or leasehold interests in the land underlying the building. As lessee under a ground lease, we are exposed to the possibility of losing the property upon expiration, or an
19
earlier breach by us, of the ground lease. Our ground leases may also contain provisions that limit our ability to sell the property or require us to obtain the consent of the landlord in order to assign or transfer our rights and obligations under the ground lease in connection with a sale of the property, which could adversely impact the price realized from any such sale. We also own properties that benefit from payment in lieu of tax (“PILOT”) programs or similar programs through leasehold interests with the relevant municipality serving as lessor. While we have the right to purchase the fee interests in these properties for a nominal purchase price, in the event of such a conversion of our ownership interests, any preferential tax treatment offered by the PILOT programs will be lost.
We may be unable to sell properties, including as a result of uncertain market conditions.
We expect to hold our properties until a sale or other disposition is appropriate given our investment objectives. Our ability to dispose of any property on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers. Due to the uncertainty of market conditions that may affect future property dispositions, we cannot assure you that we will be able to sell our properties at a profit. Accordingly, the extent to which you will receive cash distributions and realize potential appreciation on our investments will be dependent upon fluctuating market conditions. Furthermore, we cannot assure you that we will have the funds that may be required to correct defects or to make improvements before a property can be sold.
If we sell properties and provide financing to purchasers, defaults by the purchasers would adversely affect our cash flows.
Under certain circumstances, we may sell properties by providing financing to purchasers. If we provide financing to purchasers, we will bear the risk that the purchaser may default, which could adversely affect our cash flows and ability to make distributions to stockholders and may result in litigation and increased expenses. Even in the absence of a purchaser default, the reinvestment or distribution of the sales proceeds will be delayed until the promissory notes (or other property we may accept upon a sale) are actually paid, sold or refinanced.
Risks Related to Our Debt Financings
Our operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected if we are unable to make required payments on our debt.
Our charter and bylaws do not limit the amount of indebtedness we may incur, and we are subject to risks normally associated with debt financing, including the risk that our cash flows will be insufficient to meet required payments of principal and interest. There can be no assurance that we will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness, that such refinancing would be on terms as favorable as the terms of the maturing indebtedness or that we will be able to otherwise obtain funds by selling assets or raising equity to make required payments on maturing indebtedness. In particular, loans obtained to fund property acquisitions may be secured by first mortgages on such properties. If we are unable to make our debt service payments as required, a lender could foreclose on the properties securing its debt, which would cause us to lose part or all of our investment. Certain of our existing secured indebtedness is, and future secured indebtedness may be, cross-collateralized and, consequently, a default on this indebtedness could cause us to lose part or all of our investment in multiple properties.
Increases in interest rates could increase our required debt payments and adversely affect our ability to make distributions to stockholders.
As of December 31, 2020, we had total outstanding debt of approximately $1.7 billion, including $107.0 million of debt subject to variable interest rates (excluding amounts that were hedged to fix rates), and we expect that we will incur additional indebtedness in the future. Interest we pay on outstanding debt reduces our cash available for distribution. Since we have incurred and may continue to incur variable rate debt, increases in interest rates by the Federal Reserve or changes in the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”), or its replacement, would raise our interest costs, which reduces our cash flows and our ability to make distributions. If we are unable to refinance our indebtedness at maturity or meet our payment obligations, our financial condition and cash flows would be adversely affected, and we may lose the properties securing such indebtedness. In addition, if we need to repay existing debt during periods of rising interest rates, we could be required to sell one or more of our properties at times which may not permit realization of the maximum return on such investments.
We may be adversely affected by developments in the LIBOR market or the use of alternative reference rates.
As of December 31, 2020, approximately 63.3% or $1.1 billion of our outstanding debt was indexed to LIBOR. In July 2017, the U.K. Financial Conduct Authority (the “FCA”) announced its intention to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after 2021. As a result, the Federal Reserve Board organized the Alternative Reference Rates Committee
20
(“ARRC”), which identified the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) as its preferred alternative for U.S. dollar LIBOR in derivatives and other financial contracts. We are not able to predict when LIBOR will cease to be available or whether SOFR will become the market benchmark in its place. Any changes adopted by the FCA or other authorities or institutions in the methods used for determining LIBOR or the transition from LIBOR to a successor benchmark may result in, among other things, a sudden or prolonged increase in LIBOR, a delay in the publication of LIBOR, higher interest obligations arising from such successor benchmark and changes in the rules or methodologies for determining LIBOR in the overall debt capital markets, which may discourage market participants from continuing to administer or to participate in variable rate debt tied to LIBOR or such successor benchmark. If LIBOR as determined in accordance with the terms of our particular debt is no longer available, whether before or after 2021, the interest rates on such debt would be determined using various alternative methods, any of which may result in interest obligations which are more than or do not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on such debt if LIBOR was available in its current form. As a result, there can be no assurance that any of the aforementioned developments or changes will not result in financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark interest rates, substantially higher financing costs or a shortage of available debt financing, any of which could have an adverse effect on us.
Our loan covenants could limit our flexibility and adversely affect our financial condition and ability to make distributions.
Our existing mortgage notes and unsecured loan agreements require us to comply with certain financial and other covenants, including loan-to-collateral-value ratios, debt service coverage ratios, leverage ratios, fixed charge coverage ratios and, in the case of an event of default, limitations on our ability to make distributions. In addition, our existing unsecured loan agreements contain, and future borrowing facilities may contain, certain cross-default provisions which are triggered in the event that other material indebtedness is in default. These cross-default provisions may require us to repay or restructure the facilities in addition to any mortgage or other debt that is in default. New indebtedness that we may incur in the future may contain financial or other covenants more restrictive than those in our existing loan agreements.
We are a holding company and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership. As a result, we rely on distributions from our Operating Partnership to pay dividends (including distributions required to maintain our REIT status) and to meet our debt service and other obligations. The ability of our Operating Partnership to make distributions to us depends on the operating results of our Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries and on the terms of any loans that encumber the properties owned by them. Such loans may contain lock box arrangements, reserve requirements, financial covenants and other provisions that restrict the distribution of funds in the event of a default. For example, our mortgage notes prohibit, in the event of default, the distribution of any cash from the defaulting borrower subsidiary to our Operating Partnership. As a result, a default under any of these loans by the borrower subsidiaries could cause us to have insufficient cash to make the distributions and meet our debt service and other obligations.
If debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to finance acquisitions or refinance our existing debt.
If debt is unavailable at reasonable rates, we may not be able to finance acquisitions or refinance existing debt when the loans come due on favorable terms, or at all. Most of our financing arrangements require us to make a lump-sum or “balloon” payment at maturity. Our ability to make a balloon payment at maturity is uncertain and, in the event that we do not have sufficient funds to repay the debt at maturity, we will need to refinance this debt. If interest rates are higher when we refinance such debt, our net income could be reduced. If the credit environment is constrained at the time the balloon payment is due, we may not be able to refinance the existing financing on acceptable terms and may be forced to choose from a number of unfavorable options, including agreeing to unfavorable financing terms, selling one or more properties on disadvantageous terms or defaulting on the loan and permitting the lender to foreclose. In addition, we locked in our fixed-rate debt at a point in time when we were able to obtain favorable interest rates, principal amortization and other terms. When we refinance this debt, prevailing interest rates and other factors may result in paying a greater amount of debt service, which will adversely affect our cash flow, and, consequently, our cash available for distribution to stockholders.
Our hedging strategies may not be successful in mitigating our risks associated with interest rates.
Our various derivative financial instruments involve certain risks, such as the risk that the counterparties may fail to honor their obligations under these arrangements, that these arrangements may not be effective in reducing our exposure to interest rate changes and that a court could rule that such agreements are not legally enforceable. These instruments may also generate income that may not be treated as qualifying REIT income for purposes of REIT income tests. In addition, the nature, timing and costs of hedging transactions may influence the effectiveness of our hedging strategies. Poorly designed strategies or improperly executed transactions could actually increase our risk and losses. We cannot assure you that our hedging strategies and derivative financial instruments will adequately offset the risk of interest rate volatility or that such instruments will not result in losses that may adversely impact our financial condition.
21
Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively affect our financing activity.
The credit ratings of our unsecured debt are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies. Our credit ratings can affect the amount of capital we can access, as well as the terms and pricing of any debt we may incur. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain our current credit ratings, and in the event our credit ratings are downgraded, we would incur greater borrowing costs and may encounter difficulty in obtaining additional financing. Also, a downgrade in our credit ratings may trigger additional payments or other negative consequences under our unsecured credit facility and other debt instruments. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could harm our business and, in particular, our financing, refinancing and other capital market activities, ability to manage debt maturities, future growth and acquisition activity.
U.S. Federal Income Tax Risks
Failure to qualify as a REIT would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution.
Our qualification as a REIT will depend upon our ability to meet requirements regarding our organization and ownership, distributions of our income, the nature and diversification of our income and assets and other tests imposed by the Code. If we fail to qualify as a REIT for any taxable year after electing REIT status, we will be subject to federal income tax on our taxable income at regular corporate rates. In addition, we would generally be disqualified from treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year in which we failed to qualify as a REIT. Losing our REIT status would reduce our net earnings available for investment or distribution to stockholders because of the additional tax liability. In addition, dividends to stockholders would no longer qualify for the dividends‑paid deduction and we would no longer be required to make distributions. If this occurs, we might be required to borrow funds or liquidate some investments in order to pay the applicable tax.
Even if we maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to other tax liabilities that reduce our cash flow and our ability to make distributions to stockholders.
Even if we maintain our qualification as a REIT for federal income tax purposes, we may be subject to some federal, state and local taxes. For example:
•To the extent that we satisfy the REIT distribution requirements but distribute less than 100% of our REIT taxable income, we will be subject to federal corporate income tax on the undistributed income.
•We will be subject to a 4% nondeductible excise tax on the amount, if any, by which distributions we pay in any calendar year are less than the sum of 85% of our ordinary income, 95% of our capital gain net income and 100% of our undistributed income from prior years.
•If we have net income from the sale of foreclosure property that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business or other non‑qualifying income from foreclosure property, we must pay a tax on that income at the highest corporate income tax rate.
•If we sell an asset, other than foreclosure property, that we hold primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business, our gain would be subject to the 100% “prohibited transaction” tax unless such sale were made by our taxable REIT subsidiary (“TRS”) or if we qualify for a safe harbor from tax.
•Our TRS will be subject to federal, state and local income tax at regular corporate rates on any income that it earns.
REIT distribution requirements could adversely affect our ability to execute our business plan.
From time to time, we may generate taxable income greater than our income for financial reporting purposes, or our taxable income may be greater than our cash available for distribution to stockholders. If we do not have other funds available in these situations, we could be required to borrow or raise equity on unfavorable terms, sell investments at disadvantageous prices, make taxable distributions of our stock or debt securities or find another alternative source of funds to distribute enough of our taxable income to satisfy the REIT distribution requirement and to avoid corporate income tax and the 4% excise tax in a particular year. These alternatives could increase our costs or reduce the value of our equity. In addition, to maintain our
22
qualification as a REIT, we must satisfy certain tests on an ongoing basis concerning, among other things, the sources of our income, nature of our assets and the amounts we distribute to our stockholders. We may be required to make distributions to stockholders at times when it would be more advantageous to reinvest cash in our business or when we do not have funds readily available for distribution. Thus, compliance with the REIT requirements may hinder our ability to operate solely on the basis of maximizing profits and the value of our stockholders’ investment.
Re-characterization of sale‑leaseback transactions may cause us to lose our REIT status.
In certain circumstances, we expect to purchase properties and lease them back to the sellers of such properties. While we intend to structure such a sale‑leaseback transaction such that the lease will be characterized as a “true lease” for tax purposes, we cannot assure you that the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) will not challenge such characterization. In the event that any such sale‑leaseback transaction is challenged and re-characterized as a financing transaction or loan for federal income tax purposes, deductions for depreciation and cost recovery relating to such property would be disallowed. If a sale‑leaseback transaction were so re-characterized, we might fail to satisfy the REIT qualification “asset tests” or “income tests” and, consequently, lose our REIT status effective with the year of re-characterization. Alternatively, the amount of our REIT taxable income could be recalculated which might also cause us to fail to meet the distribution requirement for a taxable year.
The prohibited transactions tax may limit our ability to engage in certain transactions.
A REIT’s net income from prohibited transactions is subject to a 100% tax. In general, prohibited transactions are dispositions of property, other than foreclosure property, held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Although a safe harbor to the characterization of a disposition as a prohibited transaction is available, we cannot assure you that we can comply with the safe harbor or that we will avoid owning property that may be characterized as held primarily for sale to customers in the ordinary course of business. Consequently, we may choose not to engage in certain dispositions or may conduct such dispositions through a TRS.
We may be subject to adverse legislative or regulatory tax changes.
Federal income taxation rules are constantly under review by the IRS, the U.S. Department of the Treasury and persons involved in the legislative process. Changes to tax laws, with or without retroactive application, through new legislation, Treasury Regulations, administrative interpretations or court decisions could adversely affect us or our stockholders, including by negatively affecting our ability to qualify as a REIT or the federal income tax consequences of such qualification, or reducing the relative attractiveness of an investment in a REIT compared to a corporation not qualified as a REIT. Additional changes to the tax laws are likely to continue to occur and we cannot predict how such changes might affect us or our stockholders.
The U.S. federal income tax treatment of the cash that we might receive from cash settlement of our forward sale agreements is unclear and could jeopardize our ability to meet the REIT qualification requirements.
In the event that we elect to settle our existing or any future forward sale agreements for cash and the settlement price is below the forward sale price, we would be entitled to receive a cash payment from the forward purchaser. Under Section 1032 of the Code, generally, no gains and losses are recognized by a corporation in dealing in its own shares, including pursuant to a “securities futures contract,” as defined in the Code. Although we believe that any amount received by us in exchange for our stock would qualify for the exemption under Section 1032 of the Code, because it is not entirely clear whether a forward sale agreement qualifies as a “securities futures contract,” the U.S. federal income tax treatment of any cash settlement payment we receive is uncertain. In the event that we recognize a significant gain from the cash settlement of a forward sale agreement, we might not be able to satisfy the gross income requirements applicable to REITs under the Code. In that case, we may be able to rely upon the relief provisions under the Code in order to avoid the loss of our REIT status. Even if the relief provisions apply, we would be subject to a tax based on the amount of non-qualifying income. In the event that these relief provisions were not available, we could lose our REIT status under the Code.
Other General Risks
We face risks associated with system failures through security breaches or cyber-attacks, as well as other significant disruptions of our information technology (“IT”) networks and related systems.
We face risks associated with security breaches, whether through cyber-attacks, computer viruses, attachments to e-mails, phishing schemes, persons inside our organization or persons with access to systems inside of our organization, and other significant disruptions of our IT networks and related systems. The risk of a security breach or disruption, particularly through
23
cyber-attack, has generally increased as the number, intensity and sophistication of attempted attacks from around the world have increased. Our IT networks and related systems are essential to the operation of our business and our ability to perform day-to-day operations and, in some cases, may be critical to the operations of certain of our tenants. There can be no assurance that our security measures taken to manage the risk of a security breach or disruption will be effective or that attempted security breaches or disruptions would not be successful or damaging. Even the most well protected information, networks, systems and facilities remain potentially vulnerable because the techniques used in such attempted security breaches evolve and generally are not recognized until launched against a target, and in some cases are designed to not be detected and, in fact, may not be detected. Accordingly, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate security barriers or other preventative measures, and thus it is impossible for us to mitigate this risk entirely. A security breach or disruption involving our IT networks and related systems could disrupt the proper functioning of our networks and systems; result in misstated financial reports, violations of loan covenants and/or missed reporting deadlines; result in our inability to monitor our compliance with REIT qualification rules and regulations; result in the unauthorized access to, and destruction, loss, theft, misappropriation or release of proprietary, confidential, sensitive or otherwise valuable information, which others could use to compete against us or for disruptive, destructive or otherwise harmful purposes; require significant management attention and resources to remedy any damages that result; subject us to claims for breach of contract or failure to safeguard personal information, damages, credits, penalties or termination of leases or other agreements; or damage our reputation among our tenants and investors generally.
Additionally, we face potential heightened cybersecurity risks during the COVID-19 pandemic as our level of dependence on our IT networks and related systems increases, stemming from employees working remotely, and the number of malware campaigns and phishing attacks preying on the uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic increases. These heightened cybersecurity risks may increase our vulnerability to cyber-attacks and cause disruptions to our internal control procedures.
We depend on key personnel; the loss of their full service could adversely affect us.
Our success depends to a significant degree upon the continued contributions of certain key personnel including, but not limited to, our executive officers, whose continued service is not guaranteed, and each of whom would be difficult to replace. Our ability to retain our management team or to attract suitable replacements should any members of the management team leave is dependent on the competitive nature of the employment market. The loss of services from key members of the management team or a limitation in their availability could adversely impact our operating results, financial condition and cash flows. Further, such a loss could be negatively perceived in the capital markets. Each executive officer may terminate his employment at any time and, under certain conditions, may receive cash severance, immediate vesting of equity awards and other benefits under employment agreements, equity award agreements and our retirement vesting program. In addition, in the case of certain terminations, executive officers would not be restricted from competing with us after their departure. As of December 31, 2020, we have not obtained and do not expect to obtain key man life insurance on any of our key personnel. We also believe that, as we expand, our future success depends, in large part, upon our ability to hire and retain highly skilled managerial, investment, financing, operational and marketing personnel. Competition for such personnel is intense, and we cannot assure you that we will be successful in attracting and retaining such skilled personnel.
Our compensation plans may not be tied to or correspond with our improved financial results or the market prices for our securities, which may adversely affect us.
The compensation committee of our board of directors is responsible for overseeing our compensation and employee benefit plans and practices, including our executive compensation plans and our incentive compensation and equity-based compensation plans. The compensation committee has significant discretion in structuring these compensation packages and may make compensation decisions based on any number of factors. As a result, compensation awards may not be tied to or correspond with improved financial results at our company or the market prices for our securities.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and related notes included elsewhere in this report. For the definitions of certain terms used in the following discussion, refer to Item 1, “Business - Certain Definitions” included elsewhere in this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
36
Overview
We are a REIT focused on the acquisition, ownership, and operation of single-tenant, industrial properties throughout the United States. We seek to (i) identify properties that offer relative value across all locations, industrial property types, and tenants through the principled application of our proprietary risk assessment model, (ii) operate our properties in an efficient, cost-effective manner, and (iii) capitalize our business appropriately given the characteristics of our assets. We are a Maryland corporation and our common stock is publicly traded on the NYSE under the symbol “STAG.”
We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Code, and generally are not subject to federal income tax to the extent we currently distribute our income to our stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We remain subject to state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.
Our qualification and taxation as a REIT depend upon our ability to meet on a continuing basis, through actual annual operating results, qualification tests in the federal income tax laws. Those tests involve the percentage of income that we earn from specified sources, the percentage of our assets that falls within specified categories, the diversity of our capital stock ownership and the percentage of our earnings that we distribute.
As of December 31, 2020, we owned 492 buildings in 39 states with approximately 98.2 million rentable square feet, consisting of 409 warehouse/distribution buildings, 73 light manufacturing buildings, eight flex/office buildings, one Value Add Portfolio building, and one building classified as held for sale. We own both single- and multi-tenant properties, although we focus on the former.
As of December 31, 2020, our buildings were approximately 96.9% leased to 444 tenants, with no single tenant accounting for more than approximately 3.8% of our total annualized base rental revenue and no single industry accounting for more than approximately 12.4% of our total annualized base rental revenue.
We own the interests in all of our properties and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership. We are the sole member of the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2020, we owned approximately 98.0% of the common equity of our Operating Partnership, and our current and former executive officers, directors, senior employees and their affiliates, and third parties who contributed properties to us in exchange for common equity in our Operating Partnership, owned the remaining 2.0%.
Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations
Our ability to increase revenues or cash flow will depend in part on our (i) external growth, specifically acquisition activity, and (ii) internal growth, specifically occupancy and rental rates on our portfolio. A variety of other factors, including those noted below, also affect our future results of operations.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely harmed global economic activity and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the pandemic continues to evolve and many countries, including the United States, continue to react by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry, including the real estate industry and the industries of our tenants, directly or indirectly. The rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact the pandemic may have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
While we did not incur significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic during the year ended December 31, 2020, a number of our tenants requested rent deferral or rent abatement as a result of the pandemic. In response to such requests, we entered into rent deferral agreement with certain tenants during the year ended December 31, 2020, which resulted in approximately $2.1 million of rent deferrals during the year ended December 31, 2020. We will continue to evaluate tenant rent relief requests on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests will ultimately result in modified agreements, nor are we foregoing our contractual rights under our lease agreements.
The COVID-19 pandemic or a future pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of infectious disease affecting states or regions in which we or our tenants operate could have material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and
37
cash flows due to, among other factors: health or other government authorities requiring the closure of offices or other businesses or instituting quarantines of personnel as the result of, or in order to avoid, exposure to a contagious disease; disruption in supply and delivery chains; a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate; reduced economic activity, general economic decline or recession, which may impact our tenants’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of lease obligations; difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions, which may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis; and the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of our employees are impacted, which would result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic or any other pandemic, epidemic or disease impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic (or a future pandemic, epidemic or disease) presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Outlook
Our business is affected by the uncertainty regarding the current COVID-19 pandemic, the effectiveness of policies introduced to neutralize the disease, and the impact of those policies on economic activity. In June 2020, the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the United States entered into a recession in February 2020. In the third and fourth quarter, certain economic measurements show that the U.S. economy is recovering. The ultimate shape of the recovery will depend on many factors, including the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. While there has been a negative impact to our tenants, we believe we will continue to benefit from having a well-diversified portfolio across various markets, tenant industries, and lease terms. Additionally, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic is accelerating a number of trends that positively impact industrial demand.
In the first half of 2020, the U.S. federal and state governments, as well as the Federal Reserve, responded to the profoundly uncertain outlook with a series of policies to ease the economic burden of COVID-19 closures on businesses and individuals. The major U.S. congressional policy action known as the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act, allocated $2 trillion in federal aid to specific industries, small businesses and individuals. The Federal Reserve also took major actions including the completion of two emergency fed funds rate cuts in March 2020 to a range between 0% to 0.25%, which resulted in added liquidity to the bond market, establishing new lending facilities, and expanding its bond buying program to include mortgage backed securities, investment grade corporate debt, and high yield corporate exchange-traded funds. In the fourth quarter, due to surging COVID-19 cases in the United States, certain economic lockdown measures returned, and pressure on certain businesses renewed. In addition, in November 2020, the U.S. elections resulted in the Democratic party taking control of the Presidency and Congress. The new Biden administration entered office in January 2021 on the heels of the first phase of U.S. vaccine distribution and of a newly passed, $900 billion COVID-19 relief bill to further support businesses and individuals. We expect supportive fiscal and monetary policy to continue under the Biden administration as needed.
We believe that the current economic environment, while challenging, will provide us with an opportunity to demonstrate the diversification of our portfolio. Specifically, we believe our existing portfolio should benefit from competitive rental rates and strong occupancy. In addition to our diversified portfolio, we believe that certain characteristics of our business and capital structure should position us well in an uncertain environment, including the fact that we have minimal floating rate debt exposure (taking into account our hedging activities) and strong liquidity and access to capital, and that many of our competitors for the assets we purchase tend to be smaller local and regional investors who are likely to be more heavily impacted by interest rates and availability of capital.
38
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect acceleration in a number of industrial specific trends to support stronger long-term demand, including:
•the rise of e-commerce (as compared to the traditional retail store distribution model) and the concomitant demand by e-commerce industry participants for well-located, functional distribution space;
•the increasing attractiveness of the United States as a manufacturing and distribution location because of the size of the U.S. consumer market, an increase in overseas labor costs, a desire for greater supply chain resilience and redundancy and the overall cost of supplying and shipping goods (i.e. the shortening and fattening of the supply chain); and
•the overall quality of the transportation infrastructure in the United States.
Our portfolio continues to benefit from historically low availability throughout the national industrial market. During 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic caused both positive and negative impacts at varying levels across different industries and geographies. Ultimately, the acceleration in e-commerce brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, actions taken by federal and state governments and the Federal Reserve in response to the pandemic, and the recent economic recovery has helped industrial space demand remain strong as the national availability rate remains stable. We believe that the diversification of our portfolio by market, tenant industry, and tenant credit will prove to be a strength in this environment. Industrial development continues to be concentrated in the larger primary markets, and after a brief deceleration is expected to regain pre-COVID pandemic momentum. We have limited exposure to many of the most active development markets. We will continue to monitor the supply and demand fundamentals for industrial real estate and assess its impact on our business.
Conditions in Our Markets
The buildings in our portfolio are located in markets throughout the United States. Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions, new supply, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters and other factors in these markets may affect our overall performance.
Rental Income
We receive income primarily in the form of rental income from the tenants who occupy our buildings. The amount of rental income generated by the buildings in our portfolio depends principally on occupancy and rental rates.
Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our submarkets that impair our ability to renew or re-lease space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, including those brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our buildings. Our ability to lease our properties and the attendant rental rate is dependent upon, among other things, (i) the overall economy, (ii) the supply/demand dynamic in our markets, (iii) the quality of our properties, including age, clear height, and configuration, and (iv) our tenants’ ability to meet their contractual obligations to us.

The following table summarizes our Operating Portfolio leases that commenced during the year ended December 31, 2020. Certain leases contain rental concessions; any such rental concessions are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.
| Operating Portfolio | Square Feet | Cash Basis Rent Per Square Foot | SL Rent Per Square Foot | Total Costs Per Square Foot(1) | Cash Rent Change | SL Rent Change | Weighted Average Lease Term(2) (years) | Rental Concessions per Square Foot(3) | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Year ended December 31, 2020 | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

(1)We define Total Costs as the costs for improvements of vacant and renewal spaces, as well as the contingent-based legal fees and commissions for leasing transactions. Total Costs per square foot represent the total costs expected to be incurred on the leases that commenced during the period and do not reflect actual expenditures for the period.
(2)We define weighted average lease term as the contractual lease term in years, assuming that tenants exercise no renewal options, purchase options, or early termination rights, weighted by square footage.
(3)Represents the total rental concessions for the entire lease term.
Additionally, for the year ended December 31, 2020, leases commenced totaling 879,203 square feet related to the Value Add Portfolio and are excluded from the Operating Portfolio statistics above.
Property Operating Expenses
Our property operating expenses generally consist of utilities, real estate taxes, management fees, insurance, and site repair and maintenance costs. For the majority of our tenants, our property operating expenses are controlled, in part, by the triple net provisions in tenant leases. In our triple net leases, the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the building and its operation during the lease term, including utilities, taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, but typically excluding roof and building structure. However, we also have modified gross leases and gross leases in our building portfolio. The terms of those leases vary and on some occasions we may absorb certain building related expenses of our tenants. In our modified gross leases, we are responsible for some building related expenses during the lease term, but the cost of most of the expenses is passed through to the tenant for reimbursement to us. In our gross leases, we are responsible for all costs related to the building and its operation during the lease term. Our overall performance will be affected by the extent to which we are able to pass-through property operating expenses to our tenants.
Scheduled Lease Expirations
Our ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases will impact our results of operations and is affected by economic and competitive conditions in our markets and by the desirability of our individual buildings. Leases that comprise approximately 8.4% of our total annualized base rental revenue will expire during the period from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, excluding month-to-month leases. We assume, based upon internal renewal probability estimates, that some of our tenants will renew and others will vacate and the associated space will be re-let subject to downtime assumptions. Using the aforementioned assumptions, we expect that the rental rates on the respective new leases will generally be the same as the rates under existing leases expiring during the period January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021, thereby resulting in approximately the same revenue from the same space.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to use judgment in the application of accounting policies, including making estimates and assumptions. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to various transactions had been different, it is possible that different accounting policies would have been applied resulting in a different presentation of our financial statements. From time to time, we evaluate our estimates and assumptions. In the event estimates or assumptions prove to be different from actual results, adjustments are made in subsequent periods to reflect more current information. Below is a discussion of accounting policies that we consider critical in that they may require complex judgment in their application or require estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain.
40
See Note 2 in the accompanying Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of new accounting pronouncements.
Rental Property and Deferred Leasing Intangibles
Rental property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Significant renovations and betterments that extend the economic useful lives of assets are capitalized.
We capitalize costs directly and indirectly related to the development, pre-development, redevelopment, or improvement of rental property. Real estate taxes, compensation costs of development personnel, insurance, interest, and other directly related costs during construction periods are capitalized as incurred, with depreciation commencing with the date the property is substantially completed. Such costs begin to be capitalized to the development projects from the point we are undergoing the necessary activities to get the development project ready for its intended use and cease when the development projects are substantially completed and held available for occupancy. Interest is capitalized based on actual capital expenditures from the period when development or redevelopment commences until the asset is ready for its intended use, at the weighted average borrowing rate of our unsecured indebtedness during the period.
For properties classified as held for sale, we cease depreciating and amortizing the rental property and value the rental property at the lower of depreciated and amortized cost or fair value less costs to dispose. We present those properties classified as held for sale with any qualifying assets and liabilities associated with those properties as held for sale in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Using information available at the time of acquisition, we allocate the purchase price of properties acquired based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, mortgage debt assumed, and deferred leasing intangibles, which includes in-place leases, above market and below market leases, and tenant relationships. The process for determining the allocation to these components requires estimates and assumptions, including rental rates, discount rates and exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot, as well as available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The portion of the purchase price that is allocated to above and below market leases is 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 term plus the term of any bargain renewal options. The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and its overall relationship with the respective tenant.
The above and below market lease values are amortized into rental income over the remaining lease term. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships are amortized over the remaining lease term (and expected renewal period of the respective lease for tenant relationships) as increases to depreciation and amortization expense. The remaining lease terms are adjusted for bargain renewal options or assumed exercises of early termination options, as applicable. If a tenant subsequently terminates its lease, any unamortized portion of above and below market leases is accelerated into rental income and the in-place lease value and tenant relationships are accelerated into depreciation and amortization expense over the shortened lease term.
The purchase price allocated to deferred leasing intangible assets are included in rental property, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and the purchase price allocated to deferred leasing intangible liabilities are included in deferred leasing intangibles, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets under the liabilities section.
In determining the fair value of the debt assumed, we discount the spread between the future contractual interest payments and hypothetical future interest payments on mortgage debt based on a current market rate. The associated fair market value debt adjustment is amortized through interest expense over the life of the debt on a basis which approximates the effective interest method.
We evaluate the carrying value of all tangible and intangible rental property assets and deferred leasing intangible liabilities (collectively, the “property”) held for use for possible impairment when an event or change in circumstance has occurred that indicates their carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes estimating and reviewing anticipated future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the property. If such cash flows are less than the property’s carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent by which the property’s carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding anticipated hold period, future
41
occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, and exit capitalization rates that could differ from actual results. The discount rate used to present value the cash flows for determining fair value is also subjective.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives.
| Description | Estimated Useful Life | |||||||
| Building | 40 Years | |||||||
| Building and land improvements (maximum) | 20 years | |||||||
| Tenant improvements | Shorter of useful life or terms of related lease | |||||||
Leases
For leases in which we are the lessee, we recognize a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets equal to the present value of the fixed lease payments. In determining operating right-of-use asset and lease liability for our operating leases, we estimate an appropriate incremental borrowing rate on a fully-collateralized basis for the terms of the leases. We utilize a market-based approach to estimate the incremental borrowing rate for each individual lease. Since the terms under our ground leases are significantly longer than the terms of borrowings available to us on a fully-collateralized basis, the estimate of this rate required significant judgment, and considered factors such as yields on outstanding public debt and other market based pricing on longer duration financing instruments.
Goodwill
The excess of the cost of an acquired business over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Our goodwill of approximately $4.9 million represents amounts allocated to the assembled workforce from the acquired management company, and is presented in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our goodwill has an indeterminate life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis at December 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. We take a qualitative approach to consider whether an impairment of goodwill exists prior to quantitatively determining the fair value of the reporting unit in step one of the impairment test. We have recorded no impairments to goodwill as of December 31, 2020.
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
We record all derivatives on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, 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 of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or we elect not to apply hedge accounting.
In accordance with fair value measurement guidance, we made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of our derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. Credit risk is the risk of failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the contract. We minimize the credit risk in our derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with various high-quality counterparties. Our exposure to credit risk at any point is generally limited to amounts recorded as assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant accounts receivable, interest rate swaps, accounts payable, accrued expenses, unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, unsecured notes, and mortgage notes. See Note 4 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the fair value of our indebtedness. See Note 5 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for the fair value of our interest rate swaps.
42
We adopted fair value measurement provisions for our financial instruments recorded at fair value. The guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Incentive and Equity-Based Employee Compensation Plans
We grant equity-based compensation awards to our employees and directors in the form of restricted shares of common stock, LTIP units, and outperformance programs and performance units (outperformance programs and performance units are collectively, the “Performance-based Compensation Plans”). See Notes 6, 7 and 8 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion of restricted shares of common stock, LTIP units, and Performance-based Compensation Plans, respectively. We measure equity-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date and recognize the expense ratably over the vesting period, and forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Revenue Recognition
All current leases are classified as operating leases and rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (and expected bargain renewal terms or assumed exercise of early termination options) when collectability is reasonably assured. Differences between rental income earned and amounts due under the lease are charged or credited, as applicable, to accrued rental income.
We determined that for all leases where we are the lessor, that the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease components and associated lease components are the same, and that the lease components, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, we have made an accounting policy election to recognize the combined component in accordance with Topic 842 as rental income on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Rental income recognition commences when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space and the leased space is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. In order to determine whether the leased space is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, we determine whether we or the tenant own the tenant improvements. When it is determined that we are the owner of the tenant improvements, rental income recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the finished space, which is generally when our owned tenant improvements are completed. In instances when it is determined that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements, rental income recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space.
When we are the owner of tenant improvements or other capital items, the cost to construct the tenant improvements or other capital items, including costs paid for or reimbursed by the tenants, is recorded as capital assets. For these tenant improvements or other capital items, the amount funded by or reimbursed by the tenants are recorded as deferred revenue, which is amortized on a straight-line basis as income over the shorter of the useful life of the capital asset or the term of the related lease.
Early lease termination fees are recorded in rental income on a straight-line basis from the notification date of such termination to the then remaining (not the original) lease term, if any, or upon collection if collection is not reasonably assured.
We evaluate cash basis versus accrual basis of rental income recognition based on the collectability of future lease payments.
Results of Operations
The following discussion of our results of our same store (as defined below) net operating income (“NOI”) should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements. For a detailed discussion of NOI, including the reasons management believes NOI is useful to investors, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Same store results are considered to be useful to investors in evaluating our performance because they provide information relating to changes in building-level operating performance without taking into account the effects of acquisitions or dispositions. We encourage the reader to not only look at our same store results, but also our total portfolio results, due to historic and future growth.
43
We define same store properties as properties that were in the Operating Portfolio for the entirety of the comparative periods presented. The results for same store properties exclude termination fees, solar income, and revenue associated with one-time tenant reimbursements of capital expenditures. Same store properties exclude Operating Portfolio properties with expansions placed into service or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2018. On December 31, 2020, we owned 364 industrial buildings consisting of approximately 71.7 million square feet, which represents approximately 73.0% of our total portfolio, that are considered our same store portfolio in the analysis below. Same store occupancy increased approximately 0.4% to 96.4% as of December 31, 2020 compared to 96.0% as of December 31, 2019.
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2020 to the year ended December 31, 2019
The following table summarizes selected operating information for our same store portfolio and our total portfolio for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 (dollars in thousands). This table includes a reconciliation from our same store portfolio to our total portfolio by also providing information for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 with respect to the buildings acquired and disposed of and Operating Portfolio buildings with expansions placed into service or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2018 and our flex/office buildings, Value Add Portfolio, and buildings classified as held for sale.

Net Income
Net income for our total portfolio increased by $156.1 million or 308.2% to $206.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $50.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Same Store Total Operating Revenue
Same store total operating revenue consists primarily of rental income consisting of (i) fixed lease payments, variable lease payments, straight-line rental income, and above and below market lease amortization from our properties (“lease income”), and (ii) other tenant billings for insurance, real estate taxes and certain other expenses (“other billings”).
For a detailed reconciliation of our same store total operating revenue to net income, see the table above.
Same store rental income, which is comprised of lease income and other billings as discussed below, increased by $3.2 million or 0.9% to $354.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $351.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Same store lease income increased by $1.9 million or 0.7% to $298.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $296.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. Approximately $10.0 million of the increase was attributable to rental increases due to new leases and renewals of existing tenants and approximately $0.1 million due to a net decrease in the amortization of net above market leases. This increase was partially offset by a reduction of rental income of approximately $3.2 million at properties where we determined that the future collectability of revenue was not reasonably assured, and accordingly, we converted to the cash basis of accounting for the leases and reversed any accounts receivable and accrued rent balances into rental income and did not recognize revenue for payments that were not received from the tenants. Additionally, the increase was partially offset by an approximately $5.0 million decrease due to a reduction of base rent due to tenants downsizing their spaces and vacancies.
Same store other billings increased by $1.3 million or 2.3% to $55.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $54.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase was primarily attributable to an increase in other billings for insurance and other certain expenses of $1.1 million due to increased occupancy at certain buildings. The increase was also attributable to an increase in real estate taxes levied by the taxing authority and changes to lease terms where we began paying the real estate taxes and operating expenses on behalf of tenants that had previously paid its taxes and operating expenses directly to respective vendors of approximately $0.2 million.
Same Store Operating Expenses
Same store operating expenses consist primarily of property operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance.
For a detailed reconciliation of our same store portfolio operating expenses to net income, see the table above.
Total same store operating expenses increased by $0.7 million or 1.1% to $63.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $62.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase was primarily related to increases in real estate taxes levied by the applicable taxing authority and changes to lease terms where we began paying the real estate taxes on behalf of tenants that had previously paid the taxes directly to the taxing authority of approximately $1.0 million, as well as an increase in repairs and maintenance expense and insurance expense of approximately $0.7 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in snow removal expense of approximately $0.8 million and a decrease in utility expense of $0.2 million.
Acquisitions and Dispositions Net Operating Income
For a detailed reconciliation of our acquisitions and dispositions NOI to net income, see the table above.
Subsequent to December 31, 2018, we acquired 110 buildings consisting of approximately 24.0 million square feet (excluding six buildings that were included in the Value Add Portfolio at December 31, 2020 or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2018), and sold 16 buildings and two land parcels consisting of approximately 5.0 million square feet. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the buildings acquired after December 31, 2018 contributed approximately $86.5 million and $27.6 million to NOI, respectively. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the buildings sold after December 31, 2018 contributed approximately $7.9 million and $9.7 million to NOI, respectively.
46
Refer to Note 3 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding buildings acquired or sold.
Other Net Operating Income
Our other assets include our flex/office buildings, Value Add Portfolio, buildings classified as held for sale, and Operating Portfolio buildings with expansions placed in service or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2018. Other NOI also includes termination, solar, and other income adjustments from buildings in our same store portfolio.
For a detailed reconciliation of our other NOI to net income, see the table above.
At December 31, 2020 we owned eight flex/office buildings consisting of approximately 0.4 million square feet, one building in our Value Add Portfolio consisting of approximately 0.1 million square feet, one building classified as held for sale consisting of approximately 20,000 square feet, and eight buildings consisting of approximately 2.0 million square feet that were Operating Portfolio buildings with expansions placed in service or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2018. These buildings contributed approximately $7.4 million and $4.4 million to NOI for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. Additionally, there was $1.0 million and $0.2 million of termination, solar, and other income adjustments from certain buildings in our same store portfolio for the years ended December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, respectively.
Total Other Expenses
Total other expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, loss on impairments, and other expenses.
Total other expenses increased $29.5 million or 12.7% for the year ended December 31, 2020 to $262.4 million compared to $232.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. This is primarily a result of an increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $29.3 million as a result of acquisitions that increased the depreciable asset base. Additionally, general and administrative expenses increased by approximately $4.1 million primarily due to increases in compensation and other payroll costs. These increases were partially offset by a decrease of approximately $4.2 million in loss on impairments as discussed in Note 3 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.
Total Other Income (Expense)
Total other income (expense) consists of interest and other income, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on involuntary conversion, and gain on the sales of rental property, net. Interest expense includes interest incurred during the period as well as adjustments related to amortization of financing fees and debt issuance costs, and amortization of fair market value adjustments associated with the assumption of debt.
Total net other income increased $122.3 million or 259.3% to $75.2 million total other income for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to $47.2 million total other expense for the year ended December 31, 2019. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in the gain on the sales of rental property, net of $128.3 million, as well as an increase in gain on involuntary conversion of $2.2 million. Additionally, there was an increase of approximately $0.4 million in interest and other income due to an increased cash and cash equivalents balance during the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019. These increases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense of approximately $7.7 million which was primarily attributable to the funding of unsecured term loans on March 25, 2020, December 18, 2019, and July 25, 2019. Additionally, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.8 million during the year ended December 31, 2020 that was primarily related to the refinance of the Unsecured Term Loan B and the Unsecured Term Loan C on April 17, 2020, as discussed in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Net income for our total portfolio decreased by $45.6 million or 47.4% to $50.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $96.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Same Store Total Operating Revenue
Same store total operating revenue consists primarily of rental income consisting of (i) fixed lease payments, variable lease payments, straight-line rental income, and above and below market lease amortization from our properties (“lease income”), and (ii) other tenant billings for insurance, real estate taxes and certain other expenses (“other billings”).
For a detailed reconciliation of our same store total operating revenue to net income, see the table above.
Same store rental income, which is comprised of lease income and other billings as discussed below, increased by $6.3 million or 2.2% to $299.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $293.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018.
Same store lease income increased by $3.9 million or 1.9% to $252.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $249.0 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. Approximately $7.4 million of the increase was attributable to rental increases due to new leases and renewals of existing tenants and approximately $0.6 million due to a net decrease in the amortization of net above market leases. This increase was partially offset by an approximately $4.1 million decrease due to a reduction of base rent due to tenants downsizing their spaces and vacancies.
Same store other billings increased by $2.5 million or 5.6% to $46.7 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $44.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in real estate taxes levied by the taxing authority and changes to lease terms where we began paying the real estate taxes and operating expenses on behalf of tenants that had previously paid its taxes and operating expenses directly to respective vendors of approximately $2.8 million. This increase was partially offset by a decrease of approximately $0.3 million related to tenant specific billings that occurred during the year ended December 31, 2018 that did not recur during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Same store other income decreased by $0.5 million or 55.8% to $0.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $0.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease is primarily the result of income received during the year ended December 31, 2018 for settlements or other sums received from former tenants which did not recur during the year ended December 31, 2019.
Same Store Operating Expenses
Same store operating expenses consist primarily of property operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance.
For a detailed reconciliation of our same store portfolio operating expenses to net income, see the table above.
Total same store expenses increased by $1.8 million or 3.4% to $55.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $53.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This increase was primarily related to increases in real estate taxes levied by the related taxing authority and changes to lease terms where we began paying the real estate taxes on behalf of tenants that had previously paid its taxes directly to the taxing authority of approximately $3.1 million, as well as an increase in snow removal and other expenses of approximately $0.6 million. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in insurance expenses of approximately $1.4 million and a decrease in repairs and maintenance and utility expenses of $0.5 million.
Acquisitions and Dispositions Net Operating Income
For a detailed reconciliation of our acquisitions and dispositions NOI to net income, see the table above.
Subsequent to December 31, 2017, we acquired 115 buildings consisting of approximately 25.0 million square feet (excluding seven buildings that were included in the Value Add Portfolio at December 31, 2019 or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2017), and sold 28 buildings and two land parcels consisting of approximately 5.5 million square feet. For the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, the buildings acquired after December 31, 2017 contributed approximately $77.0 million and $18.2 million to NOI, respectively. For the years ended
50
December 31, 2019 and 2018, the buildings sold after December 31, 2017 contributed approximately $(0.7) million and $13.3 million to NOI, respectively. Refer to Note 3 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding buildings acquired or sold.
Other Net Operating Income
Our other assets include our flex/office buildings, Value Add Portfolio, buildings classified as held for sale, and Operating Portfolio buildings with expansions placed in service or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2017. Other NOI also includes termination income from buildings from our same store portfolio.
For a detailed reconciliation of our other NOI to net income, see the table above.
At December 31, 2019 we owned eight flex/office buildings consisting of approximately 0.4 million square feet, six buildings in our Value Add Portfolio consisting of approximately 1.4 million square feet, two buildings classified as held for sale consisting of approximately 0.7 million square feet, and six buildings consisting of approximately 1.6 million square feet that were Operating Portfolio buildings with expansions placed in service or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2017. These buildings contributed approximately $9.7 million and $10.0 million to NOI for the years ended December 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively. Additionally, there was $0.1 million and $(0.2) million of termination, solar, and other income adjustments from certain buildings in our same store portfolio for the years ended December 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, respectively.
Total Other Expenses
Total other expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, loss on impairments, and other expenses.
Total other expenses increased $23.8 million or 11.4% for the year ended December 31, 2019 to $232.9 million compared to $209.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. This is primarily a result of an increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $17.8 million as a result of acquisitions that increased the depreciable asset base, as well as an increase of approximately $3.6 million in loss on impairments. General and administrative expenses increased by approximately $1.9 million primarily due to increases in compensation and other payroll costs.
Total Other Income (Expense)
Total other income (expense) consists of interest and other income, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, and gain on the sales of rental property, net. Interest expense includes interest incurred during the period as well as adjustments related to amortization of financing fees and debt issuance costs, and amortization of fair market value adjustments associated with the assumption of debt.
Total net other income decreased $70.6 million or 301.6% to $47.2 million total other expense for the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to $23.4 million total other income for the year ended December 31, 2018. This decrease is primarily the result of an decrease in the gain on the sales of rental property, net of approximately $64.8 million. This decrease is also attributable to an increase in interest expense of approximately $5.8 million which was primarily attributable to the funding of unsecured term loans on March 28, 2018, July 27, 2018, July 25, 2019, and December 18, 2019, and the funding of unsecured notes on June 13, 2018.
Non-GAAP Financial Measures
In this report, we disclose funds from operations (“FFO”) and NOI, which meet the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” as set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the SEC. As a result, we are required to include in this report a statement of why management believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors.
Funds From Operations
FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance further, FFO should be compared with our reported net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements included in this report.
51
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO represents GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating buildings, impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and fair market value of debt adjustment) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.
Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of 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 buildings that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our buildings, 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. In addition, other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, 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 summarizes a reconciliation of our FFO attributable to common stockholders and unit holders for the periods presented to net income, the nearest GAAP equivalent.

Net Operating Income
We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure to net income (loss) because we believe it helps investors and management understand the core operations of our buildings. NOI is defined as rental income, which includes billings for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, less property expenses. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes expenses which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI.

Cash Flows
Comparison of the year ended December 31, 2020 to the year ended December 31, 2019
The following table summarizes our cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2020 compared to the year ended December 31, 2019.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $60.6 million to $293.9 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $233.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental operating cash flows from property acquisitions completed after December 31, 2019, and operating performance at existing properties. These increases were partially offset by the loss of cash flows from property dispositions completed after December 31, 2019 and fluctuations in working capital due to timing of payments and rental receipts.
Net cash used in investing activities decreased by $668.0 million to $554.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $1,222.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily attributable to a decrease in cash paid for the acquisition of 48 buildings during the year ended December 31, 2020 of approximately $773.3 million, compared to the acquisition of 69 buildings during the year ended December 31, 2019 of approximately $1,203.4 million. The decrease is also attributable to an increase in net proceeds from the sale of seven buildings during the year ended December 31, 2020 for net proceeds of approximately $273.6 million, compared to the year ended December 31, 2019 where we sold nine buildings and two land parcels for net proceeds of approximately $42.0 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $709.4 million to $269.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2020, compared to $978.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in net cash outflow on our unsecured credit facility of approximately $84.5 million, a decrease in net proceeds from unsecured term loans of $175.0 million, a decrease in proceeds from sales of common stock of approximately $413.9 million, and an increase in dividends paid of $34.7 million.

Net cash used in investing activities increased by $715.4 million to $1,222.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $507.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in cash paid for the acquisition of 69 buildings during the year ended December 31, 2019 of approximately $1,203.4 million, compared to the acquisition of 53 buildings during the year ended December 31, 2018 of approximately $675.6 million. The increase is also attributable to a decrease in net proceeds from the sale of nine buildings and two land parcels during the year ended December 31, 2019 for net proceeds of approximately $42.0 million, compared to the year ended December 31, 2018 where we sold 19 buildings for net proceeds of approximately $207.9 million.
Net cash provided by financing activities increased $674.7 million to $978.5 million for the year ended December 31, 2019, compared to $303.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2018. The increase was primarily due to an increase in net cash inflow on our unsecured credit facility of approximately $216.0 million and an increase in proceeds from sales of common

stock of approximately $466.3 million, as well as an increase in proceeds from unsecured term loans of $125.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018. These increases were partially offset by decreases in proceeds from unsecured notes of $175.0 million and an approximately $30.7 million increase in dividends paid during the year ended December 31, 2019 compared to the year ended December 31, 2018.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We believe that our liquidity needs will be satisfied through cash flows generated by operations, disposition proceeds, and financing activities. Operating cash flow is primarily rental income, expense recoveries from tenants, and other income from operations and is our principal source of funds that we use to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures, and the distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification. We look to the capital markets (common equity, preferred equity, and debt) to primarily fund our acquisition activity. We seek to increase cash flows from our properties by maintaining quality standards for our buildings that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. We believe that our revenue, together with proceeds from building sales and debt and equity financings, will continue to provide funds for our short-term and medium-term liquidity needs.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our buildings, including interest expense, interest rate swap payments, scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, funding of property acquisitions under contract, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures for tenant improvements and leasing commissions.
Our long-term liquidity needs, in addition to recurring short-term liquidity needs as discussed above, consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, non-recurring capital expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities. We intend to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, the issuance of equity or debt securities, other borrowings, property dispositions, or, in connection with acquisitions of certain additional buildings, the issuance of common units in the Operating Partnership.
In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have worked to ensure that we maintain adequate liquidity. On April 17, 2020, we paid in full the amounts outstanding under our Unsecured Term Loan B and the Unsecured Term Loan C with proceeds from our new Unsecured Term Loan G, as discussed in “Indebtedness Outstanding” below. As of December 31, 2020, we had total immediate liquidity of approximately $405.7 million, comprised of $15.7 million of cash and cash equivalents and $390.0 million of immediate availability on our unsecured credit facility. When incorporating the remaining undrawn balance available on our unsecured credit facility and the approximately $139.3 million of forward equity proceeds available to us at our option through November 16, 2021, our total liquidity as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $545.0 million.
In addition, we require funds for future dividends to be paid to our common and preferred stockholders and common unit holders in our Operating Partnership. These distributions on our common stock are voluntary (at the discretion of our board of directors), to the extent in excess of distribution requirements in order to maintain our REIT status for federal income tax purposes, and the excess portion may be reduced or stopped if needed to fund other liquidity requirements or for other reasons. The following table summarizes the dividends attributable to our common stock that were declared or paid during the year ended December 31, 2020.

(2)The unsecured term loans have a stated interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 1.0%, with the exception of the Unsecured Term Loan G which has a spread of 1.5% and is subject to a minimum rate for LIBOR of 0.25%. As of December 31, 2020, one-month LIBOR for the Unsecured Term Loans A, D, E, F, and G was swapped to a fixed rate of 2.38%, 1.85%, 2.92%, 2.11%, and 1.17%, respectively. One-month LIBOR for the Unsecured Term Loan G will be swapped to a fixed rate of 0.28% effective March 19, 2021.
(3)Prepayment terms consist of (i) pre-payable with no penalty; (ii) pre-payable with penalty; (iii) pre-payable without penalty three months prior to the maturity date, however can be defeased; and (iv) pre-payable without penalty three months prior to the maturity date.
(4)The capacity of the unsecured credit facility is $500.0 million. The initial maturity date is January 15, 2023, which may be extended pursuant to two six-month extension options exercisable at our discretion upon advance written notice. Exercise of each six-month option is subject to the following conditions: (i) absence of a default immediately before the extension and immediately after giving effect to the extension, (ii) accuracy of representations and warranties as of the extension date (both immediately before and after the extension), as if made on the extension date, and (iii) payment of a fee.
(5)The initial maturity date is April 16, 2021, which may be extended pursuant to two one-year extension options exercisable at our discretion upon advance written notice. Exercise of each one-year option is subject to the following conditions: (i) absence of a default immediately before the extension and immediately after giving effect to the extension, (ii) accuracy of representations and warranties as of the extension date (both immediately before and after the extension), as if made on the extension date, and (iii) payment of a fee. Neither extension option is subject to lender consent, assuming proper notice and satisfaction of the conditions. Subsequent to December 31, 2020, the Unsecured Term Loan G was amended, as discussed below.
(6)The weighted average interest rate was calculated using the fixed interest rate swapped on the current notional amount of $975.0 million of debt, and was not adjusted to include the amortization of deferred financing fees or debt issuance costs incurred in obtaining debt or any unamortized fair market value premiums.
The aggregate undrawn nominal commitments on the unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans as of December 31, 2020 was approximately $390.0 million, including issued letters of credit. Our actual borrowing capacity at any given point in time may be less and is restricted to a maximum amount based on our debt covenant compliance.
On April 17, 2020, we entered into the $300.0 million Unsecured Term Loan G with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent on behalf of the various lenders under the agreement. In connection with execution of the Unsecured Term Loan G, the Unsecured Term Loan B and Unsecured Term Loan C were paid in full. As of December 31, 2020, the Unsecured Term Loan G bore an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 1.5% based on our debt rating, as defined in the loan agreement, and subject to a minimum rate for LIBOR of 0.25%. The Unsecured Term Loan G matures on April 16, 2021, subject to two one-year extension options at our discretion, and subject to certain conditions (other than lender discretion) such as the absence of default and the payment of an extension fee. At execution, we intended to exercise both extension options. To exercise the extension options we are required pay a fee equal to (i) 0.15% of the outstanding amount on the effective day of the first extension period and (ii) 0.20% of the outstanding amount on the effective day of the second extension period. The Unsecured Term Loan G has an accordion feature that allows us to increase its borrowing capacity to $600.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and lender consents. The Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership are guarantors of the Unsecured Term Loan G. The agreement also contains financial and other covenants substantially similar to the covenants in our unsecured credit facility.
Subsequent to December 31, 2020, on February 5, 2021, we entered into (i) an amendment to the unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) and (ii) an amendment to the Unsecured Term Loan G (the “Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G”). The Credit Facility Amendment provides for an increase in the aggregate commitments available for borrowing under the unsecured credit facility from $500 million to up to $750 million. Other than the increase in the borrowing commitments, the material terms of the unsecured credit facility remain unchanged. The Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G provides for an extension of the maturity date to February 5, 2026 and a reduced stated interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 0.85% to 1.65% for LIBOR borrowings based on our debt ratings. The Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G also amended the provision for a minimum interest rate, or floor, for LIBOR borrowings to 0.00%. As of February 5, 2021, borrowings under the Unsecured Term Loan G bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.00%. We previously entered into interest rate swaps to fix LIBOR on the Unsecured Term Loan G at 1.17% and, effective March 19, 2021, at 0.28% through April 18, 2023. Other than the maturity and interest rate provisions described above, the material terms of the Unsecured Term Loan G remain unchanged.
The Wells Fargo Bank, National Association CMBS loan agreement is a commercial mortgage backed security that provides for a secured loan. There are 24 properties that are collateral for the CMBS loan. The Operating Partnership guarantees the obligations under the CMBS loan.

Net Debt to Real Estate Cost Basis (1) | 32 | % | ||||||
(1)We define Net Debt as our amounts outstanding under our unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, unsecured notes, and mortgage notes, less cash and cash equivalents. We define Real Estate Cost Basis as the book value of rental property and deferred leasing intangibles, exclusive of the related accumulated depreciation and amortization.
We regularly pursue new financing opportunities to ensure an appropriate balance sheet position. As a result of these dedicated efforts, we are confident in our ability to meet future debt maturities and building acquisition funding needs. We believe that our current balance sheet is in an adequate position at the date of this filing, despite possible volatility in the credit markets.
Our interest rate exposure as it relates to interest expense payments on our floating rate debt is managed through our use of interest rate swaps, which fix the rate of our long term floating rate debt. For a detailed discussion on our use of interest rate swaps, see “Interest Rate Risk” below.
Unsecured Credit Facility, Unsecured Term Loans, and Unsecured Notes
The unsecured credit facility provides for a facility fee payable by us to the lenders at a rate per annum of 0.125% to 0.3%, depending on our debt rating, as defined in the credit agreement, of the aggregate commitments (currently $500.0 million). The facility fee is due and payable quarterly.
Covenants: Our ability to borrow, maintain borrowings and avoid default under the unsecured credit facility, the unsecured term loans, and unsecured notes is subject to our ongoing compliance with a number of financial covenants, including:
•a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 0.60:1.00;
•a maximum secured leverage ratio of not greater than 0.40:1.00;
•a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio of not greater than 0.60:1.00;
•a minimum fixed charge ratio of not less than or equal to 1.50:1.00; and
•a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio of not less than or equal to 1.75:1.00.
The respective note purchase agreements additionally contain a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00.
Pursuant to the terms of our unsecured debt agreements, we may not pay distributions that exceed the minimum amount required for us to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT if a default or event of default occurs and is continuing.
Our unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, unsecured notes, and mortgage notes are subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial and other covenants. As of December 31, 2020, we were in compliance with the applicable financial covenants.
Events of Default: Our unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans contain customary events of default, including but not limited to non-payment of principal, interest, fees or other amounts, defaults in the compliance with the covenants contained in the documents evidencing the unsecured credit facility and the unsecured term loans, cross-defaults to other material debt and bankruptcy or other insolvency events.
Borrower and Guarantors: The Operating Partnership is the borrower under the unsecured credit facility, the unsecured term loans and is the issuer of the unsecured notes. STAG Industrial, Inc. and certain of its subsidiaries guarantee the obligations under our unsecured debt agreements.

Noncontrolling Interests
We own our interests in all of our properties and conduct substantially all of our business through our Operating Partnership. We are the sole member of the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of December 31, 2020, we owned approximately 98.0% of the common units of our Operating Partnership, and our current and former executive officers, directors, senior employees and their affiliates, and third parties who contributed properties to us in exchange for common units in our Operating Partnership, owned the remaining 2.0%.
Interest Rate Risk
We use interest rate swaps to fix the rate of our variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2020, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate swaps through maturity.
We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), which is a component of equity. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value and the changes in fair value must be reflected as income or expense.
We have established criteria for suitable counterparties in relation to various specific types of risk. We only use counterparties that have a credit rating of no lower than investment grade at swap inception from Moody’s Investor Services, Standard & Poor’s, Fitch Ratings, or other nationally recognized rating agencies.

The swaps outlined in the above table were all designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, and all are valued as Level 2 financial instruments. Level 2 financial instruments are defined as significant other observable inputs. As of December 31, 2020, the fair value of all of our 24 interest rate swaps were in a liability position of approximately $40.7 million, including any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements.
As of December 31, 2020, we had $1,082.0 million of variable rate debt. As of December 31, 2020, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with exception of our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate swaps through maturity. To the extent interest rates increase, interest costs on our floating rate debt not fixed with interest rate swaps will increase, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our security holders. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including swaps, caps and floors. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.
Inflation
Our business could be impacted in multiple ways due to inflation. We believe, however, that we are well positioned to be able to manage our business in an inflationary environment. Specifically, as of December 31, 2020 our weighted average lease term was approximately 5.2 years and, on average, approximately 8-13% of our total annualized base rental revenue will roll annually over the next few years. We expect that this lease roll will allows us to capture inflationary increases in rent on a relatively efficient basis. In addition, as of December 31, 2020 we have long term liabilities averaging approximately 3.4 years when excluding our unsecured credit facility. Our variable rate debt as of December 31, 2020 has been fully swapped to fixed rates through maturity with the exception of our unsecured credit facility. Therefore, as rents rise and increase our operating cash flow, this positive impact will flow more directly to the bottom line without the offset of higher in place debt costs. Lastly, while inflation will likely lead to increases in the operating costs of our portfolio, such as real estate taxes, utility expenses, and other operating expenses, the majority of our leases are either triple net leases or otherwise provide for tenant reimbursement for costs related to these expenses. Therefore, the increased costs in an inflationary environment would generally be passed through to our tenant.
60
Off-balance Sheet Arrangements
As of December 31, 2020, we had letters of credit related to development projects and certain other agreements of approximately $3.0 million. As of December 31, 2020, we had no other material off-balance sheet arrangements. See the table under “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Contractual Obligations” above for information regarding certain off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 7A. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. The primary market risk we are exposed to is interest rate risk. We have used derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings, primarily through interest rate swaps.
As of December 31, 2020, we had $1,082.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding. As of December 31, 2020, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility which had a balance of $107.0 million, was fixed with interest rate swaps through maturity. To the extent we undertake additional variable rate indebtedness, if interest rates increase, then so will the interest costs on our unhedged variable rate debt, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our security holders. Further, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures or significantly increase our future interest expense. From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including swaps, caps and floors. While these agreements are intended to lessen the impact of rising interest rates on us, they also expose us to the risk that the other parties to the agreements will not perform, we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements, the agreements will be unenforceable and the underlying transactions will fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under GAAP. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. If interest rates increased by 100 basis points and assuming we had an outstanding balance of $107.0 million on our unsecured credit facility for the year ended December 31, 2020, our interest expense would have increased by approximately $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2020.

Item 9A. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we have evaluated, under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of December 31, 2020. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures for the periods covered by this report were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by our Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) of the Exchange Act. Under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting based on the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Based on our evaluation under the framework in Internal Control—Integrated Framework (2013), our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of December 31, 2020.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020 has been audited by PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report, which appears on page F-2 of this Annual Report on Form 10‑K.
Changes in Internal Controls
There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the fourth quarter ended December 31, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
Item 9B. Other Information
As of the quarter ended December 31, 2020, all items required to be disclosed in a Current Report on Form 8-K were reported under Form 8-K.
Entry Into a Material Definitive Agreement; Creation of a Direct Financial Obligation or an Obligation Under an Off-Balance Sheet Arrangement of a Registrant
On February 5, 2021, we entered into an amendment to our unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) that provides for an increase in the aggregate commitments available for borrowing from $500 million to up to $750 million. Other than the increase in the borrowing commitments, the material terms of our unsecured credit facility, including the pricing and maturity date, remain unchanged.
On February 5, 2021, we entered into an amendment to our Unsecured Term Loan G (the “Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G”) that provides for an extension of the maturity date to February 5, 2026 and a reduction in the floating interest rate. As amended, our Unsecured Term Loan G will bear interest per annum equal to, at our election, LIBOR or the Base Rate (each as defined in our Unsecured Term Loan G) plus a spread. Depending upon our debt ratings, the performance-based spread ranges from 0.85% to 1.65% for LIBOR borrowings and from 0.00% to 0.65% for Base Rate borrowings. The Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G also amended the provision for a minimum interest rate, or floor, for LIBOR and the Base Rate borrowings to 0.00%. As of February 5, 2021, borrowings under our Unsecured Term Loan G bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.00%. We previously entered into interest rate swaps to fix LIBOR on our Unsecured Term Loan G at 1.17% and, effective on March 19, 2021, at 0.28% through April 18, 2023. Other than the maturity and interest rate provisions described above, the material terms of our Unsecured Term Loan G remain unchanged.
62
In connection with the Credit Facility Amendment and the Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G, we paid customary arrangement and/or amendment fees to an affiliate of Wells Fargo Bank, National Association and to the other lenders or their affiliates.
The foregoing descriptions of the Credit Facility Amendment and the Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G do not purport to be complete and are qualified in their entirety by reference to the Credit Facility Amendment and the Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G, copies of which will be filed with the SEC as exhibits to our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ending March 31, 2021.

INDEX TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
F-1
Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of STAG Industrial, Inc.
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of STAG Industrial, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income, equity and cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020, including the related notes and financial statement schedules listed in the accompanying index (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the results of its operations and its cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2020 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2020, based on criteria established in Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the COSO.
Basis for Opinions
The Company's management is responsible for these consolidated financial statements, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting, and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on the Company’s consolidated financial statements and on the Company's internal control over financial reporting based on our audits. We are a public accounting firm registered with the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States) (PCAOB) and are required to be independent with respect to the Company in accordance with the U.S. federal securities laws and the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the PCAOB.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the PCAOB. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements are free of material misstatement, whether due to error or fraud, and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects.
Our audits of the consolidated financial statements included performing procedures to assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to error or fraud, and performing procedures that respond to those risks. Such procedures included examining, on a test basis, evidence regarding the amounts and disclosures in the consolidated financial statements. Our audits also included evaluating the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall presentation of the consolidated financial statements. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.
Definition and Limitations of Internal Control over Financial Reporting
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
F-2
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
Critical Audit Matters
The critical audit matters communicated below are matters arising from the current period audit of the consolidated financial statements that were communicated or required to be communicated to the audit committee and that (i) relate to accounts or disclosures that are material to the consolidated financial statements and (ii) involved our especially challenging, subjective, or complex judgments. The communication of critical audit matters does not alter in any way our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, taken as a whole, and we are not, by communicating the critical audit matters below, providing separate opinions on the critical audit matters or on the accounts or disclosures to which they relate.
Purchase Price Accounting
As described in Notes 2 and 3 to the consolidated financial statements, during 2020, the Company completed 48 property acquisitions for consideration of approximately $775.8 million, of which approximately $67.9 million of land, $596.2 million of buildings and improvements, $111.2 million of net leasing intangibles, and $0.5 million of other assets were recorded. Management allocates the purchase price of properties based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, mortgage debt assumed, and deferred leasing intangibles, which includes in-place leases, above market and below market leases, and tenant relationships. The process for determining the allocation to these components requires estimates and assumptions, including rental rates, discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot.
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to purchase price accounting is a critical audit matter are (i) there was significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurement of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which resulted in a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in performing procedures relating to these estimates, (ii) significant audit effort was necessary in evaluating the significant assumptions, including rental rates, discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot, (iii) significant auditor judgment was necessary in evaluating audit evidence, and (iv) the audit effort included the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to purchase price accounting, including controls over the allocation of the purchase price to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for estimating the fair value of assets acquired and liabilities assumed by (i) reading the purchase agreements and (ii) evaluating the appropriateness of methods and, for a sample of acquisitions, the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management in developing the fair value measurement including rental rates, discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot. Evaluating these assumptions involved evaluating whether the assumptions used were reasonable considering past performance of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, consistency with external market and industry data, and considering whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Procedures were also performed to test the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management. For certain acquisitions, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of management’s methods and evaluating the reasonableness of the assumptions related to the rental rates, discount rates, exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot.
Rental Property and Deferred Leasing Intangible Liabilities Impairment Assessment
As described in Note 3 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company’s consolidated total rental property, net balance was $4,525.2 million and deferred leasing intangible liabilities, net balance was $32.8 million as of December 31, 2020. During 2020, the Company recognized an impairment loss of approximately $5.6 million. Management evaluates the carrying value of all tangible and intangible rental property assets and deferred leasing intangible liabilities (collectively, the “property”) held for use for possible impairment when an event or change in circumstance has occurred that indicates their carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes estimating and reviewing anticipated future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the property. If such cash flows are less than the property’s carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent by which the asset’s carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions related to anticipated hold period, future occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, and exit capitalization rates that could differ from actual results. The discount rate used to present value the cash flows for determining fair value is also subjective.
F-3
The principal considerations for our determination that performing procedures relating to the rental property and deferred leasing intangible liabilities impairment assessment is a critical audit matter are (i) there was significant judgment by management when developing the fair value measurement of the rental property and deferred leasing intangible liabilities, which resulted in a high degree of auditor judgment and subjectivity in performing procedures relating to these estimates, (ii) significant audit effort was necessary in evaluating the significant assumptions, including the anticipated hold period, rental rates, discount rates and exit capitalization rates, (iii) significant auditor judgment was necessary in evaluating audit evidence related to the fair value measurement of the rental property and deferred leasing intangible liabilities, and (iv) the audit effort included the involvement of professionals with specialized skill and knowledge to assist in evaluating the audit evidence obtained.
Addressing the matter involved performing procedures and evaluating audit evidence in connection with forming our overall opinion on the consolidated financial statements. These procedures included testing the effectiveness of controls relating to the impairment assessment of rental property and deferred leasing intangible liabilities, including controls over management’s identification of events or changes in circumstances that indicate an impairment of rental property and deferred leasing intangible liabilities has occurred, and the development of significant assumptions used to determine the impairment loss. These procedures also included, among others, testing management’s process for developing estimates of undiscounted cash flows related to rental property and deferred leasing intangible liabilities and estimates of the fair value of the rental property and deferred leasing intangible liabilities, including the appropriateness of the discounted cash flow model and the reasonableness of significant assumptions used by management in developing the fair value measurement including the anticipated hold period, rental rates, discount rates and exit capitalization rates. Evaluating these assumptions involved evaluating whether the assumptions used were reasonable considering past performance of the rental property and deferred leasing intangible liabilities, consistency with external market and industry data and considering whether the assumptions were consistent with evidence obtained in other areas of the audit. Procedures were also performed to test the completeness and accuracy of data provided by management. For certain impairment assessments, professionals with specialized skill and knowledge were used to assist in evaluating the appropriateness of management’s discounted cash flow model.

STAG Industrial, Inc.
Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements
1. Organization and Description of Business
STAG Industrial, Inc. (the “Company”) is an industrial real estate operating company focused on the acquisition, ownership, and operation of single-tenant, industrial properties throughout the United States. The Company was formed as a Maryland corporation and has elected to be treated and intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Code”). The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, commonly called an UPREIT, and owns substantially all of its properties and conducts substantially all of its business through its operating partnership, STAG Industrial Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company owned a 98.0% and 97.5%, respectively, common equity interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As used herein, the “Company” refers to STAG Industrial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships, including the Operating Partnership, except where context otherwise requires.
As of December 31, 2020, the Company owned 492 buildings in 39 states with approximately 98.2 million rentable square feet (square feet unaudited herein and throughout the Notes), consisting of 410 warehouse/distribution buildings, 74 light manufacturing buildings, and eight flex/office buildings.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Currently, one of the most significant risks and uncertainties facing the Company and the real estate industry generally is the adverse effect of the ongoing public health crisis of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic.
The Company closely monitors the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how the pandemic will affect its tenants and business partners. While the Company did not incur significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic during the year ended December 31, 2020, a number of the Company’s tenants requested rent deferral or rent abatement as a result of the pandemic and other tenants may make requests in the future. In response to such requests, the Company entered into rent deferral agreement with certain tenants which resulted in approximately $2.1 million of rent deferrals during the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company will continue to evaluate tenant rent relief requests on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests will ultimately result in modified agreements, nor is the Company foregoing its contractual rights under its lease agreements.
The Company remains unable to predict the ultimate impact that the pandemic will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects the Company’s operations and those of its tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership and their subsidiaries. Interests in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company are referred to as “Noncontrolling Common Units.” These Noncontrolling Common Units are held by other limited partners in the form of common units (“Other Common Units”) and long term incentive plan units (“LTIP units”) issued pursuant to the STAG Industrial, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended (the “2011 Plan”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of entities. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis for all periods presented.
New Accounting Standards
New Accounting Standards Adopted
In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as
F-10
reference rate reform activities occur. During the quarter ended March 31, 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Rental Property and Deferred Leasing Intangibles
Rental property is carried at cost less accumulated depreciation and amortization. Expenditures for maintenance and repairs are expensed as incurred. Significant renovations and betterments that extend the economic useful lives of assets are capitalized.
The Company capitalizes costs directly and indirectly related to the development, pre-development, redevelopment, or improvement of rental property. Real estate taxes, compensation costs of development personnel, insurance, interest, and other directly related costs during construction periods are capitalized as incurred, with depreciation commencing with the date the property is substantially completed. Such costs begin to be capitalized to the development projects from the point the Company is undergoing the necessary activities to get the development project ready for its intended use and cease when the development projects are substantially completed and held available for occupancy. Interest is capitalized based on actual capital expenditures from the period when development or redevelopment commences until the asset is ready for its intended use, at the weighted average borrowing rate of the Company’s unsecured indebtedness during the period.
For properties classified as held for sale, the Company ceases depreciating and amortizing the rental property and values the rental property at the lower of depreciated and amortized cost or fair value less costs to dispose. The Company presents those properties classified as held for sale with any qualifying assets and liabilities associated with those properties as held for sale in the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Using information available at the time of acquisition, the Company allocates the purchase price of properties acquired based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consist of land, buildings, tenant improvements, mortgage debt assumed, and deferred leasing intangibles, which includes in-place leases, above market and below market leases, and tenant relationships. The process for determining the allocation to these components requires estimates and assumptions, including rental rates, discount rates and exit capitalization rates, and land value per square foot, as well as available market information. The fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property considers the value of the property as if it were vacant. The portion of the purchase price that is allocated to above and below market leases is 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 term plus the term of any bargain renewal options. The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on the Company’s evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and its overall relationship with the respective tenant.
The above and below market lease values are amortized into rental income over the remaining lease term. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships are amortized over the remaining lease term (and expected renewal period of the respective lease for tenant relationships) as increases to depreciation and amortization expense. The remaining lease terms are adjusted for bargain renewal options or assumed exercises of early termination options, as applicable. If a tenant subsequently terminates its lease, any unamortized portion of above and below market leases is accelerated into rental income and the in-place lease value and tenant relationships are accelerated into depreciation and amortization expense over the shortened lease term.
The purchase price allocated to deferred leasing intangible assets are included in rental property, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and the purchase price allocated to deferred leasing intangible liabilities are included in deferred leasing intangibles, net on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets under the liabilities section.
F-11
In determining the fair value of the debt assumed, the Company discounts the spread between the future contractual interest payments and hypothetical future interest payments on mortgage debt based on a current market rate. The associated fair market value debt adjustment is amortized through interest expense over the life of the debt on a basis which approximates the effective interest method.
The Company evaluates the carrying value of all tangible and intangible rental property assets and deferred leasing intangible liabilities (collectively, the “property”) held for use for possible impairment when an event or change in circumstance has occurred that indicates their carrying value may not be recoverable. The evaluation includes estimating and reviewing anticipated future undiscounted cash flows to be derived from the property. If such cash flows are less than the property’s carrying value, an impairment charge is recognized to the extent by which the property’s carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value. Estimating future cash flows is highly subjective and is based in part on assumptions regarding anticipated hold period, future occupancy, rental rates, capital requirements, and exit capitalization rates that could differ from actual results. The discount rate used to present value the cash flows for determining fair value is also subjective.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following estimated useful lives.
| Description | Estimated Useful Life | |||||||
| Building | 40 Years | |||||||
| Building and land improvements (maximum) | 20 Years | |||||||

Fully depreciated or amortized assets or liabilities and the associated accumulated depreciation or amortization are written-off. The Company wrote-off fully depreciated or amortized tenant improvements, deferred leasing intangible assets, and deferred leasing intangible liabilities of approximately $5.0 million, $62.0 million, $2.3 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2020 and approximately $22.8 million, $87.7 million, $5.5 million, respectively, for the year ended December 31, 2019.
Leases
For leases in which the Company is the lessee, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets equal to the present value of the fixed lease payments. In determining the operating right-of-use asset and lease liability for the Company’s operating leases, the Company estimates an appropriate incremental borrowing rate on a fully-collateralized basis for the terms of the leases. The Company utilizes a market-based approach to estimate the incremental borrowing rate for each individual lease. Additionally, since the terms of our ground leases are significantly longer than the terms of borrowings available to the Company on a fully-collateralized basis, the estimate of this rate required significant judgment, and considered factors such as yields on outstanding public debt and other market based pricing on longer duration financing instruments.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents consist of cash and highly liquid short-term investments with original maturities of three months or less. The Company maintains cash and cash equivalents in United States banking institutions that may exceed amounts insured by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation. While the Company monitors the cash balances in its operating accounts, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or are subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, the Company has experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in its operating accounts, and mitigates this risk by using nationally recognized banking institutions.

Restricted Cash
Restricted cash may include tenant security deposits, cash held in escrow for real estate taxes and capital improvements as required in various mortgage note agreements, and cash held by the Company’s transfer agent for preferred stock dividends that are distributed subsequent to period end. Restricted cash may also include cash held by qualified intermediaries to facilitate a like-kind exchange of real estate under Section 1031 of the Code.
The following table presents a reconciliation of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets to amounts reported on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

Deferred Costs
Deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs include costs incurred in obtaining debt that are capitalized and are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the associated debt liability that is not a line-of-credit arrangement on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements are presented as an asset in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs are amortized through interest expense over the life of the respective loans on a basis which approximates the effective interest method. Any unamortized amounts upon early repayment of debt are written off in the period of repayment as a loss on extinguishment of debt. Fully amortized deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs are written off upon maturity of the underlying debt.
Leasing commissions include commissions and other direct and incremental costs incurred to obtain new tenant leases as well as to renew existing tenant leases, and are presented in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. Leasing commissions are capitalized and amortized over the terms of the related leases (and bargain renewal terms or assumed exercise of early termination options) using the straight-line method. If a lease terminates prior to the expiration of its initial term, any unamortized costs related to the lease are accelerated into amortization expense. Changes in leasing commissions are presented in the cash flows from operating activities section of the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Goodwill
The excess of the cost of an acquired business over the net of the amounts assigned to assets acquired (including identified intangible assets) and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. Goodwill of the Company of approximately $4.9 million represents amounts allocated to the assembled workforce from the acquired management company, and is presented in prepaid expenses and other assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s goodwill has an indeterminate life and is not amortized, but is tested for impairment on an annual basis at December 31, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The Company takes a qualitative approach to consider whether an impairment of goodwill exists prior to quantitatively determining the fair value of the reporting unit in step one of the impairment test. The Company has recorded no impairments to goodwill through December 31, 2020.
Use of Derivative Financial Instruments
The Company records all derivatives on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets at fair value. The accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative, whether the Company has 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. The Company may enter into derivative contracts that are intended to
F-13
economically hedge certain of its risks, even though hedge accounting does not apply or the Company elects not to apply hedge accounting.
In accordance with fair value measurement guidance, the Company made an accounting policy election to measure the credit risk of its derivative financial instruments that are subject to master netting arrangements on a net basis by counterparty portfolio. Credit risk is the risk of failure of the counterparty to perform under the terms of the contract. The Company minimizes the credit risk in its derivative financial instruments by entering into transactions with various high-quality counterparties. The Company’s exposure to credit risk at any point is generally limited to amounts recorded as assets on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant accounts receivable, interest rate swaps, accounts payable, accrued expenses, unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, unsecured notes, and mortgage notes. See Note 4 for the fair value of the Company’s indebtedness. See Note 5 for the fair value of the Company’s interest rate swaps.
The Company adopted fair value measurement provisions for its financial instruments recorded at fair value. The guidance establishes a three-tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.
Offering Costs
Underwriting commissions and direct offering costs have been reflected as a reduction of additional paid-in capital on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Equity. Indirect costs associated with equity offerings are expensed as incurred and included in general and administrative expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Dividends
Earnings and profits, which determine the taxability of dividends to stockholders, will differ from income reported for financial reporting purposes due to the differences for federal income tax purposes in the treatment of gains on the sale of real property, revenue and expense recognition, and in the estimated useful lives and basis used to compute depreciation. In addition, the Company’s distributions may include a return of capital. To the extent that the Company makes distributions in excess of its current and accumulated earnings and profits, such distributions would generally be considered a return of capital for federal income tax purposes to the extent of the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its shares. A return of capital may not be taxable. A return of capital has the effect of reducing the holder’s adjusted tax basis in its investment, which may or may not be taxable to the holder.
The Company paid approximately $2.4 million ($0.87413 per share) of the 6.625% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock ("Series B Preferred Stock") dividends, of which $0.71493 per share was treated as ordinary income for tax purposes, $0.07521 per share was treated as unrecaptured section 1250 capital gain for tax purposes, and $0.08399 per share was treated as other capital gain for income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2018.
The Company paid approximately $5.2 million ($1.71875 per share) of the 6.875% Series C Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series C Preferred Stock”) dividends for the year ended December 31, 2020, of which $1.349944 that were treated as ordinary income for tax purposes, $0.100392 per share was treated as unrecaptured section 1250 capital gain for tax purposes, and $0.268414 per share was treated as other capital gain for income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2020. The Company paid approximately $5.2 million ($1.71875 per share) of the Series C Preferred Stock dividends for the year ended December 31, 2019, of which $1.71441 that were treated as ordinary income for tax purposes and $0.00434 that were treated as qualified dividends for tax purposes. The Company paid approximately $5.2 million ($1.71875 per share) of the Series C Preferred Stock dividends, of which $1.40573 per share was treated as ordinary income for tax purposes, $0.14789 per share was treated as unrecaptured section 1250 capital gain for tax purposes, and $0.16513 per share was treated as other capital gain for income tax purposes for the year ended December 31, 2018.

Revenue Recognition
All current leases are classified as operating leases and rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease (and expected bargain renewal terms or assumed exercise of early termination options) when collectability is reasonably assured. Differences between rental income earned and amounts due under the lease are charged or credited, as applicable, to accrued rental income.
The Company determined that for all leases where the Company is the lessor, that the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease components and associated lease components are the same, and that the lease components, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, the Company has made an accounting policy election to recognize the combined component in accordance with Topic 842 as rental income on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Rental income recognition commences when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space and the leased space is substantially complete and ready for its intended use. In order to determine whether the leased space is substantially complete and ready for its intended use, the Company determines whether the Company or the tenant own the tenant improvements. When it is determined that the Company is the owner of the tenant improvements, rental income recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the finished space, which is generally when the Company owned tenant improvements are completed. In instances when it is determined that the tenant is the owner of tenant improvements, rental income recognition begins when the tenant takes possession of or controls the physical use of the leased space.
When the Company is the owner of tenant improvements or other capital items, the cost to construct the tenant improvements or other capital items, including costs paid for or reimbursed by the tenants, is recorded as capital assets. For these tenant improvements or other capital items, the amount funded by or reimbursed by the tenants are recorded as deferred revenue, which is amortized on a straight-line basis as income over the shorter of the useful life of the capital asset or the term of the related lease.
Early lease termination fees are recorded in rental income on a straight-line basis from the notification date of such termination to the then remaining (not the original) lease term, if any, or upon collection if collection is not reasonably assured.
The Company evaluates cash basis versus accrual basis of rental income recognition based on the collectability of future lease payments.
Gain on the Sales of Rental Property, net
The timing of the derecognition of a rental property and the corresponding recognition of gain on the sales of rental property, net is measured by various criteria related to the terms of the sale transaction, and if the Company has lost control of the property and the acquirer has gained control of the property after the transaction. If the derecognition criteria is met, the full gain is recognized.
F-15
Incentive and Equity-Based Employee Compensation Plans
The Company grants equity-based compensation awards to its employees and directors in the form of restricted shares of common stock, LTIP units, and outperformance programs and performance units (outperformance programs and performance units are collectively, “Performance-based Compensation Plans”). See Notes 6, 7 and 8 for further discussion of restricted shares of common stock, LTIP units, and Performance-based Compensation Plans, respectively. The Company measures equity-based compensation expense based on the fair value of the awards on the grant date and recognizes the expense ratably over the vesting period, and forfeitures are recognized in the period in which they occur.
Related-Party Transactions
The Company did not have any related-party transactions during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.
Taxes
Federal Income Taxes
The Company elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code commencing with its taxable year ended December 31, 2011 and intends to continue to qualify as a REIT. As a REIT, the Company is generally not subject to corporate level federal income tax on the earnings distributed currently to its stockholders that it derives from its REIT qualifying activities. As a REIT, the Company is required to distribute at least 90% of its REIT taxable income to its stockholders and meet the various other requirements imposed by the Code relating to such matters as operating results, asset holdings, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership.
The Company will not be required to make distributions with respect to income derived from the activities conducted through subsidiaries that the Company elects to treat as taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRS”) for federal income tax purposes, nor will it have to comply with income, assets, or ownership restrictions inside of the TRS. Certain activities that the Company undertakes must or should be conducted by a TRS, such as performing non-customary services for its tenants and holding assets that it cannot hold directly. A TRS is subject to federal and state income taxes. The Company’s TRS recognized a net income (loss) of approximately $0, $0.3 million and $(0.1) million, for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively, which has been included on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.
State and Local Income, Excise, and Franchise Tax
The Company and certain of its subsidiaries are subject to certain state and local income, excise and franchise taxes. Taxes in the amount of approximately $1.7 million, $1.2 million and $0.9 million have been recorded in other expenses on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively.
Uncertain Tax Positions
Tax benefits of uncertain tax positions are recognized only if it is more likely than not that the tax position will be sustained based solely on its technical merits, with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all relevant information. The measurement of a tax benefit for an uncertain tax position that meets the “more likely than not” threshold is based on a cumulative probability model under which the largest amount of tax benefit recognized is the amount with a greater than 50% likelihood of being realized upon ultimate settlement with the taxing authority having full knowledge of all the relevant information. As of December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were no liabilities for uncertain tax positions.
Earnings Per Share
The Company uses the two-class method of computing earnings per common share, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any dilutive securities for the period.
F-16
Segment Reporting
The Company manages its operations on an aggregated, single segment basis for purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions and, accordingly, has only one reporting and operating segment.
Concentrations of Credit Risk
Concentrations of credit risk relevant to the Company may arise when a number of financing arrangements, including revolving credit facilities or derivatives, are entered into with the same lenders or counterparties, and have similar economic features that would cause their inability to meet contractual obligations. The Company mitigates the concentration of credit risk as it relates to financing arrangements by entering into loan syndications with multiple, reputable financial institutions and diversifying its debt counterparties. The Company also reduces exposure by diversifying its derivatives across multiple counterparties who meet established credit and capital guidelines.
Concentrations of credit risk may also arise when the Company enters into leases with multiple tenants concentrated in the same industry, or into a significant lease or multiple leases with a single tenant, or tenants are located in the same geographic region, or have similar economic features that would cause their inability to meet contractual obligations, including those to the Company, to be similarly affected. The Company regularly monitors its tenant base to assess potential concentrations of credit risk through financial statement review, tenant management calls, and press releases. Management believes the current credit risk portfolio is reasonably well diversified and does not contain any unusual concentration of credit risk.

2020 Debt Activity
On April 29, 2020, the mortgage note associated with the Wells Fargo Bank, National Association CMBS Loan was partially defeased in the amount of approximately $1.0 million in connection with the sale of the Johnstown, NY property, which had served as partial collateral for the mortgage note. The associated defeasance fees and unamortized deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs of approximately $0.1 million were written off to loss on extinguishment of debt in the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations during the year ended December 31, 2020.
On April 17, 2020, the Company entered into the $300.0 million Unsecured Term Loan G with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent on behalf of the various lenders under the agreement. In connection with execution of the Unsecured Term Loan G, the Unsecured Term Loan B and Unsecured Term Loan C were paid in full. As of December 31, 2020, the Unsecured Term Loan G bore an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 1.5% based on the Company’s debt rating, as defined in the loan agreement, and subject to a minimum rate for LIBOR of 0.25%. The Unsecured Term Loan G matures on April 16, 2021, subject to two one year extension options at the Company's discretion, and subject to certain conditions (other than lender discretion) such as the absence of default and the payment of an extension fee. At execution, the Company intended to exercise both extension options. To exercise the extension options the Company is required pay a fee equal to (i) 0.15% of the outstanding amount on the effective day of the first extension period and (ii) 0.20% of the outstanding amount on the effective day of the second extension period. In connection with the refinancing, the Company incurred approximately $2.1 million in deferred financing fees, including approximately $1.1 million of accrued extension fees, which are being amortized through the extended maturity date of April 18, 2023. In connection with the refinancing, the Company also recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.7 million related to associated unamortized deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs related to the Unsecured Term Loan B and the Unsecured Term Loan C and other third-party costs. The Company is required to pay an annual fee of $35,000. The Unsecured Term Loan G has an accordion feature that allows the Company to increase its borrowing capacity to $600.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and lender consents. The Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership are guarantors of the Unsecured Term Loan G. The agreement also contains financial and other covenants substantially similar to the covenants in the Company's unsecured credit facility.
On March 25, 2020, the Company drew the remaining $100.0 million of the $200.0 million Unsecured Term Loan F that was entered into on July 12, 2019.
2019 Debt Activity
On July 25, 2019, the Company drew $175.0 million of the $175.0 million Unsecured Term Loan E that was entered into on July 26, 2018.
On July 12, 2019, the Company entered into the $200.0 million Unsecured Term Loan F. As of December 31, 2020, the interest rate on the Unsecured Term Loan F was LIBOR plus a spread of 1.00% based on the Company’s debt rating, as defined in the loan agreement. Unless otherwise terminated pursuant to the loan agreement, the Unsecured Term Loan F will mature on January 12, 2025. The Unsecured Term Loan F has a feature that allows the Company to request an increase in the aggregate size of the unsecured term loan of up to $400.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions and lender consents. The agreement includes a delayed draw feature that allows the Company to draw up to six advances of at least $25.0 million each
F-24
until July 12, 2020. To the extent that the Company did not request advances of the $200.0 million of aggregate commitments by July 12, 2020, the unadvanced commitments would terminate. The Unsecured Term Loan F has an unused commitment fee equal to 0.15% of its unused commitments, which began to accrue on October 10, 2019 and is due and payable monthly until the earlier of (i) the date that aggregate commitments of $200.0 million have been fully advanced, (ii) July 12, 2020, and (iii) the date that aggregate commitments have been reduced to zero pursuant to the terms of the agreement. The Company is required to pay an annual administrative agent fee of $35,000. The Company and certain wholly owned subsidiaries of the Operating Partnership are guarantors of the Unsecured Term Loan F. The agreement also contains financial and other covenants substantially similar to the covenants in the Company’s unsecured credit facility. On December 18, 2019, the Company drew $100.0 million of the $200.0 million Unsecured Term Loan F.
Financial Covenant Considerations
The Company’s ability to borrow under the unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, and unsecured notes are subject to its ongoing compliance with a number of customary financial covenants, including:
•a maximum consolidated leverage ratio of not greater than 0.60:1.00;
•a maximum secured leverage ratio of not greater than 0.40:1.00;
•a maximum unencumbered leverage ratio of not greater than 0.60:1.00;
•a minimum fixed charge ratio of not less than or equal to 1.50:1.00; and
•a minimum unsecured interest coverage ratio of not less than or equal to 1.75:1.00.
The unsecured notes are also subject to a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00. The Company was in compliance with all such applicable restrictions and financial covenants as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. In the event of a default under the unsecured credit facility or the unsecured term loans, the Company’s dividend distributions are limited to the minimum amount necessary for the Company to maintain its status as a REIT.
Each of the Company’s mortgage notes has specific properties and assignments of rents and leases that are collateral for these loans. These debt facilities contain certain financial and other covenants. The Company was in compliance with all such applicable restrictions and financial covenants as of December 31, 2020 and 2019. The real estate net book value of the properties that are collateral for the Company’s mortgage notes was approximately $81.4 million and $85.5 million at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and is limited to senior, property-level secured debt financing arrangements.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
The Company’s objectives in using interest rate swaps are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. The Company uses interest rate swaps to fix the rate of its long term variable rate debt. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same period during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.
Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedges will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company estimates that approximately $16.0 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense over the next 12 months.
The following table summarizes the effect of cash flow hedge accounting and the location in the consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features
The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness. As of December 31, 2020, the Company had not breached the provisions of these agreements and has not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of its provisions at December 31, 2020, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreement of the interest rate swaps in a net liability position by counterparty plus accrued interest for approximately $41.6 million.
Fair Value of Interest Rate Swaps
The Company’s valuation of the interest rate swaps 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. The fair values of interest rate swaps are determined by using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of future interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves.
The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.
Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Restricted Stock-Based Compensation
Pursuant to the 2011 Plan, the Company grants restricted shares of common stock to certain employees of the Company. The restricted shares of common stock are subject to time-based vesting. Restricted shares of common stock granted in 2020, 2019, and 2018, subject to the recipient’s continued employment, will vest over four years in equal installments on January 1 of each year beginning in 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. Refer to Note 8 for details on restricted shares of common stock granted on January 7, 2021. Holders of restricted shares of common stock have voting rights and rights to receive dividends. Restricted shares of common stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of and are subject to a risk of forfeiture prior to the expiration of the applicable vesting period.

The weighted average grant date fair value of outstanding LTIP units was $21.64 per unit at January 1, 2020, $29.47 per unit for LTIP units granted during the year ended December 31, 2020, $18.27 per unit for LTIP units that were converted during the year ended December 31, 2020, and $23.49 per unit at December 31, 2020.
The Company adjusts the carrying value of noncontrolling interest to reflect its share of the book value of the Operating Partnership when there has been a change in the Company’s ownership of the Operating Partnership. Such adjustments are recorded to additional paid-in capital as a rebalancing of noncontrolling interest on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Equity.
LTIP Units
LTIP units are granted to certain executive officers and senior employees of the Company as part of their compensation, and to independent directors for their service. LTIP units are valued by reference to the value of the Company’s common stock and are subject to such conditions and restrictions as the compensation committee of the board of directors may determine, including continued employment or service. Vested LTIP units can be converted to Other Common Units on a one-for-one basis once a material equity transaction has occurred that results in the accretion of the member’s capital account to the economic equivalent of an Other Common Unit. All LTIP units, whether vested or not, will receive the same monthly per unit distributions as Other Common Units, which equal per share dividends on common stock.
LTIP units granted in January 2020, 2019, and 2018 to certain senior executive officers and senior employees, subject to the recipient’s continued employment, will vest quarterly over four years, with the first vesting date having been March 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively. LTIP units granted in January 2020, 2019, and 2018 to independent directors, subject to the recipient’s continued service, will vest on January 1, 2021, 2020, and 2019, respectively. On March 12, 2018, the Company’s board of directors appointed Michelle Dilley to serve as director of the Company. On March 12, 2018, Ms. Dilley was granted 3,930 LTIP units which vested on January 1, 2019.
Refer to Note 8 for a discussion of the LTIP units granted in January 2021, 2020, 2019, and 2018, pursuant to the January 2018, 2017, 2016 performance units, and the 2015 Outperformance Program (the “2015 OPP”), respectively.
The fair value of the LTIP units at the date of grant was determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the LTIP units is based on Level 3 inputs and is a non-recurring fair value measurement. The following table summarizes the assumptions used in valuing such LTIP units granted during years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 (excluding those LTIP units granted pursuant to the 2017 and 2016 performance units and those LTIP units granted pursuant to the 2015 OPP; refer to Note 8 for details).

Other Common Units
Other Common Units and shares of the Company’s common stock have essentially the same economic characteristics in that Other Common Units directly, and shares of the Company’s common stock indirectly, through the Company’s interest in the Operating Partnership, share equally in the total net income or loss distributions of the Operating Partnership. Subject to certain restrictions, investors who own Other Common Units have the right to cause the Operating Partnership to redeem any or all of their Other Common Units for cash equal to the then-current value of one share of the Company’s common stock, or, at the Company’s election, shares of common stock on a one-for-one basis. When redeeming the Other Common Unit for cash, the value of a share of common stock is calculated as the average common stock closing price on the NYSE for the 10 days immediately preceding the redemption notice date. Each Other Common Unit receives the same monthly distribution as a share of common stock.
8. Equity Incentive Plan
The 2011 Plan provides for the issuance of equity-based awards, including stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, unrestricted stock awards and other awards based on shares of the Company’s common stock, such as LTIP units in the Operating Partnership, that may be made by the Company directly to the executive officers, directors, employees, and other individuals providing bona fide services to or for the Company.
Subject to certain adjustments identified within the 2011 Plan, the aggregate number of shares of the Company’s common stock that may be awarded under the 2011 Plan is 6,642,461 shares. Under the 2011 Plan, each LTIP unit awarded will be equivalent to an award of one share of common stock reserved under the 2011 Plan, thereby reducing the number of shares of common stock available for other equity awards on a one-for-one basis.
The 2011 Plan may be terminated, amended, modified or suspended at any time by the board of directors, subject to stockholder approval as required by law or stock exchange rules. The 2011 Plan expires on March 31, 2021.
F-33
Under the 2011 Plan, the Company grants performance units to certain key employees of the Company. The ultimate value of the performance units depends on the Company’s total stockholder return (“TSR”) over a three-year period (the “measuring period”). At the end of the measuring period, the performance units convert into shares of common stock, or, at the Company’s election and with the award recipient’s consent, LTIP units or other securities (“Award Shares”), at a rate depending on the Company’s TSR over the measuring period as compared to three different benchmarks and on the absolute amount of the Company’s TSR. A recipient of performance units may receive as few as zero shares or as many as 250% of the number of target units, plus deemed dividends. The target amount of the performance units is nominally allocated as: (i) 25% to the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of an industry peer group; (ii) 25% to the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of a size-based peer group; and (iii) 50% to the Company’s TSR compared to the TSR of the companies in the MSCI US REIT index.
No dividends are paid to the recipient during the measuring period. At the end of the measuring period, if the Company’s TSR is such that the recipient earns Award Shares, the recipient will receive additional Award Shares relating to dividends deemed to have been paid and reinvested on the Award Shares. The Company, in the discretion of the compensation committee of the board of directors, may pay the cash value of the deemed dividends instead of issuing additional Award Shares.
In January 2020, 2019, and 2018, the Company granted performance units approved by the compensation committee of the board of directors, under the 2011 Plan to certain key employees of the Company. The measuring periods commenced on January 1, 2020, 2019, and 2018, respectively, and end on December 31, 2022, 2021, and 2020, respectively. For the 2020 and 2019 performance units, the Award Shares are immediately vested at the end of the measuring period. For the 2018 performance units, one-half of the Award Shares and all dividend shares vest immediately. The other one-half of the Award Shares will be restricted (subject to forfeiture) and vest one year after the end of the measuring period.
The fair value of the performance units at the date of grant was determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. The fair value of the performance units is based on Level 3 inputs and is a non-recurring fair value measurement. The performance unit equity compensation expense is recognized into earnings ratably from the grant date over the respective vesting periods. The following table summarizes the assumptions used in valuing the performance units granted during the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

The compensation committee of the board of directors approved the issuance of 183,256 vested LTIP units and 53,722 vested shares of common stock (of which 15,183 shares of common stock were repurchased and retired) to the participants, all of which were issued on January 5, 2018.
The unrecognized compensation expense associated with the Company’s performance units at December 31, 2020 was approximately $5.9 million and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.6 years.
At December 31, 2020 and 2019, the number of shares available for issuance under the 2011 Plan were 2,325,389 and 2,851,304, respectively. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2011 Plan as of December 31, 2020 do not include an allocation for the 2020 and 2019 performance units as the awards were not determinable as of December 31, 2020. The number of shares available for issuance under the 2011 Plan as December 31, 2019 do not include an allocation for the 2019 and 2018 performance units as the awards were not determinable as of December 31, 2019.

The number of shares of common stock granted is calculated based on the trailing 10 days average common stock price ending on the third business day preceding the grant date.
9. Leases
Lessor Leases
The Company has operating leases in which it is the lessor for its rental property. Certain leases contain variable lease payments based upon changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Certain leases contain options to renew or terminate the lease, and options for the lessee to purchase the rental property, all of which are predominately at the sole discretion of the lessee.
The following table summarizes the components of rental income recognized during the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company evaluated its operating leases and determined that the future collectability for certain leases was not reasonably assured. As a result the Company converted to the cash basis of accounting for these leases which resulted in a reduction of rental income of approximately $1.7 million and $0 for years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, due to the reversal of accrued rent. Additionally, there was $2.2 million and $0 of contractual rental income that was not recognized for payments that were not received from the tenants for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.
As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had accrued rental income of approximately $60.0 million and $44.3 million, respectively, included in tenant accounts receivable on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
F-35
As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $30.1 million and $22.6 million, respectively, of total lease security deposits available in the form of existing letters of credit, which are not reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company had approximately $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of lease security deposits available in cash, which are included in restricted cash on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s remaining lease security deposits are commingled in cash and cash equivalents. These funds may be used to settle tenant accounts receivables in the event of a default under the related lease. As of December 31, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Company’s total liability associated with these lease security deposits was approximately $11.0 million and $9.8 million, respectively, and is included in tenant prepaid rent and security deposits on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.
The Company estimates that billings for real estate taxes, which are the responsibility of certain tenants under the terms of their leases and are not reflected on the Company’s consolidated financial statements, was approximately $21.1 million, $19.1 million and $15.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, respectively. These amounts would have been the maximum real estate tax expense of the Company, excluding any penalties or interest, had the tenants not met their contractual obligations for these periods.

10. Earnings Per Share
The Company uses the two-class method of computing earnings per common share, which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share for common stock and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Basic net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing net income available to common stockholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any dilutive securities for the period.
Restricted shares of common stock are considered participating securities as these stock-based awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends, unless and until a forfeiture occurs, and these awards must be included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to the two-class method. During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018, there were 187,283, 217,623 and 195,281, respectively, unvested shares of restricted stock on a weighted average basis that were considered participating securities. Participating securities are included in the computation of diluted EPS using the treasury stock method if the impact is dilutive. Other potentially dilutive common shares from the Company’s performance units and forward sales agreements are considered when calculating diluted EPS.
The following table reconciles the numerators and denominators in the computation of basic and diluted earnings per common share for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018.

(1)During the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019, and 2018, there were 187, 218, and 195, unvested shares of restricted common stock, respectively, on a weighted average basis that were not included in the computation of diluted earnings per share because the allocation of income under the two-class method was more dilutive.
11. Commitments and Contingencies
The Company is subject to various legal proceedings and claims that arise in the ordinary course of business. These matters are generally covered by insurance subject to deductible requirements. Management believes that the ultimate settlement of these actions will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
F-37
The Company has letters of credit of approximately $3.0 million as of December 31, 2020 related to construction projects and certain other agreements.
12. Employee Benefit Plans
Effective April 20, 2011, the Company adopted a 401(k) Defined Contribution Savings Plan (the “Plan”) for its employees. Under the Plan, as amended, employees, as defined, are eligible to participate in the Plan after they have completed three months of service. The Company provides a discretionary match of 50% of the employee’s contributions annually up to 6.0% of the employee’s annual compensation, subject to a cap imposed by federal tax law. The Company’s aggregate matching contribution for the years ended December 31, 2020, 2019 and 2018 was approximately $0.3 million, $0.4 million and $0.3 million, respectively. The Company’s contribution is subject to vest over three years, such that employees who have been with the Company for three years are fully vested in past and future contributions.
13. Subsequent Events
The Company identified the following events subsequent to December 31, 2020 that are not recognized in the financial statements.
On January 7, 2021, the Company granted 83,952 restricted shares of common stock to certain employees of the Company pursuant to the 2011 Plan. The restricted shares of common stock granted will vest over four years in equal installments on January 1 of each year beginning January 1, 2022. The fair value of the restricted shares of common stock at the date of grant was $29.77 per share.
On January 7, 2021, the Company granted 28,440 LTIP units to non-employee, independent directors, and 124,990 LTIP units to certain executive officers and senior employees pursuant to the 2011 Plan. The LTIP units granted to non-employee, independent directors will vest on January 1, 2022. The LTIP units granted to certain executive officers and senior employees will vest in equal quarterly installments over four years, with the first vesting date being March 31, 2021. The aggregate fair value of the LTIP units at the date of grant was approximately $4.3 million, as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation using an expected term of ten years, a weighted average volatility factor of 34.0%, a weighted average expected dividend yield of 5.0%, and a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.229%. The fair value of the LTIP units is based on Level 3 inputs and is a non-recurring fair value measurement.
On January 7, 2021, the Company granted performance units to certain executive officers and senior employees pursuant to the 2011 Plan. The terms of the January 7, 2021 performance units are substantially the same as the performance units discussed in Note 8, except that the measuring period commences on January 1, 2021 and ends on December 31, 2023, and the Award Shares are immediately vested at the end of the measuring period. The aggregate fair value of the performance units at the date of grant was approximately $5.5 million, as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation using a weighted average volatility factor of 34.4%, a weighted average expected dividend yield of 5.0%, and a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 0.2271%. The fair value of the performance units is based on Level 3 inputs and is a non-recurring fair value measurement.
On January 7, 2021, the Company adopted the STAG Industrial, Inc. Employee Retirement Vesting Program (the “Vesting Program”) to provide supplemental retirement benefits for eligible employees. The Company estimates that adoption of the Vesting Program will result in an increase of general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.3 million for the year ending December 31, 2021 due to the acceleration of non-cash compensation expense for certain eligible employees.
On February 5, 2021, the Company entered into (i) an amendment to the unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility Amendment”) and (ii) an amendment to the Unsecured Term Loan G (the “Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G”). The Credit Facility Amendment provides for an increase in the aggregate commitments available for borrowing under the unsecured credit facility from $500 million to up to $750 million. Other than the increase in the borrowing commitments, the material terms of the unsecured credit facility remain unchanged. The Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G provides for an extension of the maturity date to February 5, 2026 and a reduced stated interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 0.85% to 1.65% for LIBOR borrowings based on the Company’s debt ratings. The Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G also amended the provision for a minimum interest rate, or floor, for LIBOR borrowings to 0.00%. As of February 5, 2021, borrowings under the Unsecured Term Loan G bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.00%. The Company previously entered into interest rate swaps to fix LIBOR on the Unsecured Term Loan G at 1.17% and, effective March 19, 2021, at 0.28% through April 18, 2023. Other than the maturity and interest rate provisions described above, the material terms of the Unsecured Term Loan G remain unchanged.
