EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the Annual Reports on Form 10-K for the period ended December 31, 2017 of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and First Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. At December 31, 2017, the Company owned an approximate 96.8% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 3.2% common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by certain limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company exercises exclusive and complete discretion over the Operating Partnership’s day-to-day management and control and can cause it to enter into certain major transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions and refinancings. The management of the Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.
The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one enterprise. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of the Company’s assets are held by, and its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.
We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Company and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. The main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership are:
•
Stockholders’ Equity, Noncontrolling Interest and Partners’ Capital. The 3.2% equity interest in the Operating Partnership held by entities other than the Company are classified within partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as a noncontrolling interest in the Company's financial statements.
•
Relationship to Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, though operations are also conducted through eight other limited partnerships, which are referred to as the "Other Real Estate Partnerships." The Operating Partnership is a limited partner, holding at least a 99% interest, and the Company is a general partner, holding at least a .01% general partnership interest through eight separate wholly-owned corporations, in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities that both the Company and the Operating Partnership consolidate. The Company's direct general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships is reflected as noncontrolling interest within the Operating Partnership's financial statements.
•
Relationship to Service Subsidiary. The Company has a direct wholly-owned subsidiary that does not own any real estate but provides services to various other entities owned by the Company. Since the Operating Partnership does not have an ownership interest in this entity, its operations are reflected in the consolidated results of the Company but not the Operating Partnership. Also, this entity owes certain amounts to the Operating Partnership, for which a receivable is included on the Operating Partnership’s balance sheet but is eliminated on the Company’s consolidated balance sheet, since both this entity and the Operating Partnership are fully consolidated by the Company.
We believe combining the Company’s and Operating Partnership’s annual reports into this single report results in the following benefits:
•
enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
•
creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports; and
•
eliminates duplicative disclosures and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation for our investors to review since a substantial portion of the Company’s disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.
To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides the following separate disclosures for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:
•
consolidated financial statements;
•
a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity’s stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital, as applicable; and
•
a combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes distinct information related to each entity.
This report also includes separate Part II, Item 9A, Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

PART I
THE COMPANY
Item  1.
Business
Background
First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops and redevelops industrial real estate. The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). As of December 31, 2017, our in-service portfolio consisted of 164 bulk warehouse properties, 92 regional warehouse properties, 183 light industrial properties and 45 R&D/flex properties, containing an aggregate of approximately 59.3 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA") located in 21 states. Our in-service portfolio includes all properties that have reached stabilized occupancy (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased), developed and redeveloped properties one year from the date construction is completed and acquired properties that are at least 75% occupied at acquisition or one year from the acquisition date.
We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, a Delaware limited partnership formed on November 23, 1993 of which the Company is the sole general partner (the "General Partner"), with an approximate 96.8% and 96.7% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through the Other Real Estate Partnerships, numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100% ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. Noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 3.2% and 3.3% at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units").
Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs, the Other Real Estate Partnerships and the TRSs are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, the members or the shareholders, as applicable, of such entities in accordance with the provisions contained within their respective organizational documents.
We utilize an operating approach which combines the effectiveness of decentralized, locally based property management, acquisition, sales and development functions with the cost efficiencies of centralized acquisition, sales and development support, capital markets expertise, asset management and fiscal control systems. At December 31, 2017, we had 160 employees.

Business Objectives and Growth Plans
Our fundamental business objective is to maximize the total return to the Company's stockholders and the Operating Partnership's partners through an increase in cash flows and increases in the value of our properties and operations. Our long-term business growth plans include the following elements:
•
Internal Growth. We seek to grow internally by (i) increasing revenues by renewing or re-leasing spaces subject to expiring leases at higher rental levels; (ii) increasing occupancy levels at properties where vacancies exist and maintaining occupancy elsewhere; (iii) controlling and minimizing property operating and general and administrative expenses; and (iv) renovating existing properties.
•
External Growth. We seek to grow externally through (i) the development of industrial properties; (ii) the acquisition of portfolios of industrial properties or individual properties which meet our investment parameters within our target markets; (iii) the expansion of our properties; and (iv) possible joint venture investments.
•
Portfolio Enhancement. We continually seek to upgrade our overall portfolio via new investments as well as through the sale of select assets that we believe do not exhibit favorable characteristics for long-term cash flow growth.
Our ability to pursue our long-term growth plans is affected by market conditions and our financial condition and operating capabilities. See "Summary of Significant Transactions in 2017" under Item 7,"Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations."
Business Strategies
We utilize the following six strategies in connection with the operation of our business:
•
Organizational Strategy. We implement our decentralized property operations strategy through the deployment of experienced regional management teams and local property managers. We provide acquisition, development and financing assistance, asset management oversight and financial reporting functions from our headquarters in Chicago, Illinois to support our regional operations. We believe the size of our portfolio enables us to realize operating efficiencies by spreading overhead among many properties and by negotiating purchasing discounts.
•
Market Strategy. Our market strategy is to concentrate on the top industrial real estate markets in the United States. These markets have one or more of the following characteristics: (i) favorable industrial real estate fundamentals, including improving industrial demand and constrained supply that can lead to long-term rent growth; (ii) warehouse distribution markets with favorable economic and business environments that should benefit from increases in distribution activity driven by growth in global trade and local consumption; and (iii) sufficient size to provide ample opportunity for growth through incremental investments as well as offer asset liquidity.
•
Leasing and Marketing Strategy. We have an operational management strategy designed to enhance tenant satisfaction and portfolio performance. We pursue an active leasing strategy, which includes broadly marketing available space, seeking to renew existing leases at higher rents per square foot and seeking leases which provide for the pass-through of property-related expenses to the tenant. We also have local and national marketing programs which focus on the business and real estate brokerage communities and multi-national tenants.
•
Acquisition/Development Strategy. Our acquisition/development strategy is to invest in industrial properties in the top industrial real estate markets in the United States.
•
Disposition Strategy. We continuously evaluate local market conditions and property-related factors in all of our markets for purposes of identifying assets suitable for disposition.
•
Financing Strategy. To finance acquisitions, developments and debt maturities, as market conditions permit, we may utilize a portion of proceeds from property sales, unsecured debt offerings, term loans, mortgage financings and line of credit borrowings under our $725.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities. As of February 23, 2018, we had approximately $720.8 million available for additional borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

Future Property Acquisitions, Developments and Property Sales
We have acquisition and development programs through which we seek to identify portfolio and individual industrial property acquisitions and developments. We also sell properties based on market conditions and property related factors. As a result, we are currently engaged in negotiations relating to the possible acquisition, development or sale of certain industrial properties in our portfolio.
When evaluating potential industrial property acquisitions and developments, as well as potential industrial property sales, we will consider such factors as: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the location, construction quality, condition and design of the property; (iii) the terms of tenant leases, including the potential for rent increases; (iv) the potential for economic growth and the general business, tax and regulatory environment of the area in which the property is located; (v) the occupancy and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the vicinity; (vi) competition from existing properties and the potential for the construction of new properties in the area; (vii) the potential for capital appreciation of the property; (viii) the ability to improve the property’s performance through renovation; and (ix) the potential for expansion of the physical layout of the property and/or the number of sites.
Industry
Industrial properties are typically used for the design, assembly, packaging, storage and distribution of goods and/or the provision of services. As a result, the demand for industrial space in the United States is related to the level of economic output. Accordingly, the competition we face to lease our existing properties and acquire new properties varies with the level of economic output.

Item  1A.
Risk Factors
Our operations involve various risks that could adversely affect our business, including our financial condition, our results of operations, our cash flow, our liquidity, our ability to make distributions to holders of the Company's common stock and the Operating Partnership's Units, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units. These risks, among others contained in our other filings with the SEC, include:
Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing and may negatively impact our liquidity, financial condition and operating results.
A significant amount of our existing indebtedness was issued through capital markets transactions. We anticipate that the capital markets could be a source of refinancing of our existing indebtedness in the future. This source of refinancing may not be available if volatility in or disruption of the capital markets occurs. From time to time, the capital and credit markets in the United States and other countries experience significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which can cause the market prices of many securities and the spreads on prospective debt financings to fluctuate substantially. These circumstances can materially impact liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in some cases result in the unavailability of financing. Furthermore, we could potentially lose access to available liquidity under our Unsecured Credit Facility if one or more participating lenders were to default on their commitments. If our ability to issue additional debt or equity securities or to borrow money under our Unsecured Credit Facility were to be impaired by volatility in or disruption of the capital markets, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.
In addition, price volatility in the capital and credit markets could make the valuation of our properties more difficult. There may be significant uncertainty in the valuation, or in the stability of the value, of our properties that could result in a substantial decrease in the value of our properties. As a result, we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of our properties, which may require us to recognize an impairment loss in earnings.
Real estate investments fluctuate in value depending on conditions in the general economy and the real estate industry. These conditions may limit our revenues and available cash.
The factors that affect the value of our real estate and the revenues we derive from our properties include, among other things:
•
general economic conditions;
•
local, regional, national and international economic conditions and other events and occurrences that affect the markets in which we own properties;
•
local conditions such as oversupply or a reduction in demand in an area;
•
increasing labor and material costs;
•
the ability to collect on a timely basis all rents from tenants;
•
changes in tenant operations, real estate needs and credit;
•
changes in interest rates and in the availability, cost and terms of mortgage funding;
•
zoning or other regulatory restrictions;
•
competition from other available real estate;
•
operating costs, including maintenance, insurance premiums and real estate taxes; and
•
other factors that are beyond our control.
Our investments in real estate assets are concentrated in the industrial sector, and the demand for industrial space in the United States is related to the level of economic output. Accordingly, reduced economic output may lead to lower occupancy rates for our properties. In addition, if any of our tenants experiences a downturn in its business that weakens its financial condition, delays lease commencement, fails to make rental payments when due, becomes insolvent or declares bankruptcy, the result could be a termination of the tenant’s lease, which could adversely affect our cash flow from operations. These factors may be amplified by a disruption of financial markets or more general economic conditions.

7


Many real estate costs are fixed, even if income from properties decreases.
Our financial results depend on leasing space to tenants on terms favorable to us. Our income and funds available for distribution to our stockholders and Unitholders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay their rent or we are unable to lease properties on favorable terms. In addition, if a tenant does not pay its rent, we may not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and we may incur substantial legal costs. Costs associated with real property, such as real estate taxes and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property.
We may be unable to acquire properties on advantageous terms or acquisitions may not perform as we expect.
We have routinely acquired properties from third parties as conditions warrant and, as part of our business, we intend to continue to do so. The acquisition of properties entails various risks, including risks that our investments may not perform as expected and that our cost estimates for bringing an acquired property up to market standards, if necessary, may prove inaccurate. Further, we face significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded REITs and private investors. This competition increases as investments in real estate become attractive relative to other forms of investment. As a result of competition, we may be unable to acquire additional properties and purchase prices may increase. In addition, we expect to finance future acquisitions through a combination of borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility, proceeds from equity or debt offerings and debt originations and proceeds from property sales, which may not be available. Any of the above risks could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units.
We may obtain only limited warranties when we purchase a property and would have only limited recourse in the event our due diligence did not identify any issues that lower the value of our property.
The seller of a property often sells such property in its "as is" condition on a "where is" basis and "with all faults," without any warranties of merchantability or fitness for a particular use or purpose. In addition, purchase agreements may contain only limited warranties, representations and indemnifications that will only survive for a limited period after the closing. The purchase of properties with limited warranties increases the risk that we may lose some or all of our invested capital in the property as well as the loss of rental income from that property.
We may be unable to sell properties when appropriate or at all because real estate investments are not as liquid as certain other types of assets.
Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly, which could limit our ability to adjust our property portfolio in response to changes in economic conditions or in the performance of the portfolio. This could adversely affect our financial condition and our ability to service debt and make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders. In addition, like other companies qualifying as REITs under the Code, our ability to sell assets may be restricted by tax laws that potentially result in punitive taxation on asset sales that fail to meet certain safe harbor rules or other criteria established under case law.
We may be unable to sell properties on advantageous terms.
We have routinely sold properties to third parties as conditions warrant and, as part of our business, we intend to continue to do so. However, our ability to sell properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms or to redeploy the proceeds in accordance with our business strategy, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected. Further, if we sell properties by providing financing to purchasers, defaults by the purchasers would adversely affect our operations and financial condition.

8


We may be unable to complete development and re-development projects on advantageous terms.
As part of our business, we develop new properties and re-develop existing properties as conditions warrant. This part of our business involves significant risks, including the following:
•
we may not be able to obtain financing for these projects on favorable terms;
•
we may not complete construction on schedule or within budget;
•
we may not be able to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other governmental permits and authorizations;
•
contractor and subcontractor disputes, strikes, labor disputes or supply chain disruptions may occur; and
•
properties may perform below anticipated levels, producing cash flow below budgeted amounts, which may result in us paying too much for a property, cause the property to not be profitable and limit our ability to sell such properties to third parties.
To the extent these risks result in increased debt service expense, construction costs and delays in budgeted leasing, they could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units.
We may be unable to renew leases or find other lessees on advantageous terms or at all.
We are subject to the risks that, upon expiration, leases may not be renewed, the space subject to such leases may not be relet or the terms of renewal or reletting, including the cost of required renovations, may be less favorable than the expiring lease terms. If we were unable to promptly renew a significant number of expiring leases or to promptly relet the spaces covered by such leases, or if the rental rates upon renewal or reletting were significantly lower than the current rates, our financial condition, results of operation, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.
The Company might fail to qualify as a REIT under existing laws (including recent changes to the federal tax laws) and/or federal income tax laws could change.
The Company intends to operate so as to qualify as a REIT under the Code, and we believe that the Company is organized and will operate in a manner that allows us to continue to do so. However, qualification as a REIT involves the satisfaction of numerous requirements, some of which must be met on a recurring basis. These requirements are established under highly technical and complex Code provisions. There are only limited judicial and administrative interpretations of these provisions, and they involve the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control.
If the Company were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company would be subject to federal income tax at corporate rates. This could result in a discontinuation or substantial reduction in distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders and could reduce the cash available to pay interest and principal on debt securities that we issue. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, the Company would be disqualified from electing treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which the Company failed to qualify. Additionally, since the Internal Revenue Service ("IRS"), the United States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review federal income tax legislation, we cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new federal laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Any such legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify the Company's tax treatment and therefore, may adversely affect taxation of us and/or our stockholders and Unitholders.

An act to provide for reconciliation pursuant to titles II and V of the concurrent resolution on the budget for fiscal year 2018 commonly known as Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the "TCJ Act"), which generally takes effect for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 (subject to certain exceptions), makes many significant changes to the U.S. federal income tax laws that will profoundly impact the taxation of individuals and corporations (including both regular C corporations and corporations that have elected to be taxed as REITs). Among other changes, the TCJ Act permanently reduces the generally applicable corporate tax rate, generally reduces the tax rate applicable to individuals and other non-corporate taxpayers for tax years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and before January 1, 2026, eliminates or modifies certain previously allowed deductions (including substantially limiting interest deductibility and, for individuals, the deduction for non-business state and local taxes), and, for taxable years beginning on or after January 1, 2018 and before January 1, 2026, provides for preferential rates of taxation through a deduction of up to 20% (subject to certain limitations) on most ordinary REIT dividends and certain trade or business income of non-corporate taxpayers. The TCJ Act also imposes new limitations on the deduction of net operating losses, which may result in the Company having to make additional taxable distributions to our stockholders in order to comply with REIT distribution requirements and avoid taxes on retained income and gains. A number of changes that affect noncorporate taxpayers will expire at the end of 2025 unless Congress acts to extend them. These changes will impact us and our shareholders in various ways, some of which are adverse or potentially adverse compared to prior law. To date, the IRS has issued only limited guidance with respect to certain of the new provisions, and there are numerous interpretive issues that will require guidance. It is highly likely that technical corrections legislation will be needed to clarify certain aspects of the new law and give proper effect to Congressional intent. There can be no assurance, however, that technical clarifications or changes needed to prevent unintended or unforeseen tax consequences will be enacted by Congress in the near future. Additionally, since the IRS, the United States Treasury Department and Congress frequently review federal income tax legislation, we cannot predict whether, when or to what extent new federal laws, regulations, interpretations or rulings will be adopted. Additional changes to tax laws are likely to continue to occur in the future and any such legislative action may prospectively or retroactively modify the Company's tax treatment and therefore, may adversely affect taxation of us and/or our stockholders and Unitholders. Any such changes could have an adverse effect on an investment in shares or on the market value or the resale potential of our properties. Stockholders and Unitholders are urged to consult with their own tax advisor with respect to the impact of recent legislation, the status of legislative, regulatory, or administrative developments and proposals, and their potential effect on ownership of our shares.
Certain property transfers may generate prohibited transaction income, resulting in a penalty tax on the gain attributable to the transaction.
As part of our business, we sell properties to third parties as opportunities arise. Under the Code, a 100% penalty tax could be assessed on the tax gain recognized from sales of properties that are deemed to be prohibited transactions. The question of what constitutes a prohibited transaction is based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each transaction. The IRS could contend that certain sales of properties by us are prohibited transactions. While we have implemented controls to avoid prohibited transactions, if a dispute were to arise that was successfully argued by the IRS, the 100% penalty tax could be assessed against the Company's profits from these transactions.
The REIT distribution requirements may limit our ability to retain capital and require us to turn to external financing sources.
As a REIT, the Company must distribute to its stockholders at least 90% of its taxable income each year. The Company could, in certain instances, have taxable income without sufficient cash to enable it to meet this requirement. In that situation, we could be required to borrow funds or sell properties on adverse terms in order to do so. The distribution requirement could also limit our ability to accumulate capital to provide capital resources for our ongoing business, and to satisfy our debt repayment obligations and other liquidity needs, we may be more dependent on outside sources of financing, such as debt financing or issuances of additional capital stock, which may or may not be available on favorable terms. Additional debt financings may substantially increase our leverage and additional equity offerings may result in substantial dilution of stockholders’ and Unitholders' interests.

Dividends payable by the Company do not qualify for the reduced tax rates available for some dividends.
The maximum tax rate applicable to “qualified dividend income” payable to U.S. stockholders that are taxed at individual rates is 23.8% (including the 3.8% net investment income tax). As a REIT, dividends payable by the Company, however, generally are not eligible for the reduced rates on qualified dividend income. For 2018 and future years, dividends payable by REITs to U.S. stockholders are taxed at a maximum individual rate of 33.4% (including the 3.8% net investment income tax and after factoring in a 20% deduction for pass-through income). To the extent such dividends are attributable to certain dividends that we receive from a TRS, however such dividends generally will be eligible for the reduced rates that apply to qualified dividend income. The more favorable rates applicable to regular corporate qualified dividends could cause stockholders and Unitholders who are taxed at individual rates to perceive an investment in the Company to be relatively less attractive than investments in the stocks of non-REIT corporations, which could adversely affect the value of the shares of the Company.
We face possible state and local tax audits.
Because the Company is organized and qualifies as a REIT, we are generally not subject to federal income taxes, but we are subject to certain state and local taxes. In the normal course of business, certain entities through which we own real estate have undergone tax audits. Collectively, tax deficiency notices received to date from the jurisdictions conducting previous audits have not been material. However, there can be no assurance that future audits will not occur with increased frequency or that the ultimate result of such audits will not have a material adverse effect on our results of operations.
Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may adversely affect our results of operations.
Subject to maintaining the Company's qualification as a REIT, we may seek to manage our exposure to interest rate volatility by using interest rate hedging arrangements, such as interest cap agreements and interest rate swap agreements. These agreements may fail to protect or could adversely affect us because, among other things:
•
interest rate hedging can be expensive, particularly during periods of rising and volatile interest rates;
•
available interest rate hedges may not correspond directly with the interest rate risk for which protection is sought;
•
the duration of the hedge may not match the duration of the related liability;
•
the amount of income that a REIT may earn from hedging transactions (other than through taxable REIT subsidiaries) is limited by U.S. federal tax provisions governing REITs;
•
the credit quality of the party owing money on the hedge may be downgraded to such an extent that it impairs our ability to sell or assign our side of the hedging transaction;
•
the party owing money in the hedging transaction may default on its obligation to pay;
•
we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements;
•
the underlying transactions could fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under generally accepted accounting practices; and
•
a court could rule that such an agreement is not legally enforceable.
We have adopted a practice relating to the use of derivative financial instruments to hedge interest rate risks related to our borrowings. This practice requires the Company's Board of Directors to authorize our use of derivative financial instruments to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of unsecured debt and to manage the interest rates on our variable rate borrowings. Our practice is that we do not use derivatives for speculative or trading purposes and intend only to enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors, but the Company's Board of Directors may choose to change these practices in the future. Hedging may reduce the overall returns on our investments, which could reduce our cash available for distribution to our stockholders and Unitholders. Failure to hedge effectively against interest rate changes may materially adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.

11


Debt financing, the degree of leverage and rising interest rates could reduce our cash flow.
We use debt to increase the rate of return to our stockholders and Unitholders and to allow us to make more investments than we otherwise could. Our use of leverage presents an additional element of risk in the event that the cash flow from our properties is insufficient to meet both debt payment obligations and the distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code. In addition, rising interest rates would reduce our cash flow by increasing the amount of interest due on our floating rate debt and on our fixed rate debt as it matures and is refinanced. Our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount or percentage of indebtedness we may incur.
Failure to comply with covenants in our debt agreements could adversely affect our financial condition.
The terms of our agreements governing our indebtedness require that we comply with a number of financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage. Complying with such covenants may limit our operational flexibility. Our failure to comply with these covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt agreement even if we have satisfied our payment obligations. Consistent with our prior practice, we will continue to interpret and certify our performance under these covenants in a good faith manner that we deem reasonable and appropriate. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by the noteholders or lenders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs. Our ability to meet our financial covenants may be adversely affected if economic and credit market conditions limit our ability to reduce our debt levels consistent with, or result in net operating income below, our current expectations. Under our Unsecured Credit Facility, an event of default can also occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred that could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreement.
Upon the occurrence of an event of default, we would be subject to higher finance costs and fees, and the lenders under our Unsecured Credit Facility will not be required to lend any additional amounts to us. In addition, our indebtedness, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, could be accelerated and declared to be immediately due and payable. Furthermore, our Unsecured Credit Facility, our unsecured term loans and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain cross-default provisions that may be triggered in the event that our other material indebtedness is in default. These cross-default provisions may require us to repay or restructure our Unsecured Credit Facility, our unsecured term loans or our senior unsecured notes (which includes our private placement notes), depending on which is in default, and such restructuring could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units. If repayment of any of our indebtedness is accelerated, we cannot provide assurance that we would be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance such indebtedness or that we would be able to sell sufficient assets to repay such indebtedness. Even if we were able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms, or terms that are acceptable to us.
Cross-collateralization of mortgage loans could result in foreclosure on a significant portion of our properties if we are unable to service its indebtedness.
Certain of our mortgages were issued on a cross-collateralized basis. Cross-collateralization makes all of the subject properties available to the lender in order to satisfy the debt. To the extent indebtedness is cross-collateralized, lenders may seek to foreclose upon properties that do not comprise the primary collateral for a loan, which may, in turn, result in acceleration of other indebtedness collateralized by such properties. Foreclosure of properties would result in a loss of income and asset value to us, making it difficult for us to meet both debt payment obligations and the distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code.
We may have to make lump-sum payments on our existing indebtedness.
We are required to make lump-sum or "balloon" payments under the terms of some of our indebtedness. Our ability to make required payments of principal on outstanding indebtedness, whether at maturity or otherwise, may depend on our ability to refinance the applicable indebtedness or to sell properties. Currently, we have no commitments to refinance any of our indebtedness.
Our mortgages may impact our ability to sell encumbered properties on advantageous terms or at all.
Certain of our mortgages contain, and some future mortgages may contain, substantial prepayment premiums that we would have to pay upon the sale of a property, thereby reducing the net proceeds to us from the sale of any such property. As a result, our willingness to sell certain properties and the price at which we may desire to sell a property may be impacted. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms or redeploy the proceeds of property sales in accordance with our business strategy, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.

12


Adverse market and economic conditions could cause us to recognize impairment charges.
We regularly review our real estate assets for impairment indicators, such as a decline in a property’s occupancy rate, decline in general market conditions or a change in the expected hold period of an asset. If we determine that indicators of impairment are present, we review the properties affected by these indicators to determine whether an impairment charge is required. As a result, we may be required to recognize asset impairment, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. We use considerable judgment in making determinations about impairments, from analyzing whether there are indicators of impairment, to the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the investment. Accordingly, our subjective estimates and evaluations may not be accurate, and such estimates and evaluations are subject to change or revision.
Earnings and cash dividends, asset value and market interest rates affect the price of the Company's common stock.
The market value of the Company's common stock is based in large part upon the market’s perception of the growth potential of the Company's earnings and cash dividends. The market value of the Company's common stock is also based upon the value of the Company's underlying real estate assets. For this reason, shares of the Company's common stock may trade at prices that are higher or lower than the Company's net asset value per share. To the extent that the Company retains operating cash flow for investment purposes, working capital reserves, or other purposes, these retained funds, while increasing the value of the Company's underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market price of the Company's common stock. The Company's failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future earnings and the payment of cash dividends/distributions likely would adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock. Further, the distribution yield on the common stock (as a percentage of the price of the common stock) relative to market interest rates may also influence the market price of the Company's common stock. An increase in market interest rates might lead prospective purchasers of the Company's common stock to expect a higher distribution yield, which would adversely affect the market price of the Company's common stock. Any reduction in the market price of the Company's common stock would, in turn, reduce the market value of the Units.
We may become subject to litigation.
We may become subject to litigation, including claims relating to our operations, offerings, and otherwise in the ordinary course of business. Some of these claims may result in significant defense costs and potentially significant judgments against us, some of which are not, or cannot be, insured against. Resolution of these types of matters could adversely impact our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow. Certain litigation or the resolution of certain litigation may affect the availability or cost of some of our insurance coverage, which could adversely impact our results of operations and cash flows, expose us to increased risks that would be uninsured, and/or adversely impact our ability to attract officers and directors.
We may incur unanticipated costs and liabilities due to environmental problems.
Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, we may, as an owner or operator of real estate, be liable for the costs of clean-up of certain conditions relating to the presence of hazardous or toxic materials on, in or emanating from a property and any related damages to natural resources. Environmental laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic materials. The presence of such materials, or the failure to address those conditions properly, may adversely affect our ability to rent or sell a property or to borrow using a property as collateral. The disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic materials, or the arrangement of such disposal or treatment, may cause us to be liable for the costs of clean-up of such materials or for related natural resource damages occurring at or emanating from an off-site disposal or treatment facility, whether or not the facility is owned or operated by us. No assurance can be given that existing environmental assessments with respect to any of our properties reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner or operator of any of our properties did not create any material environmental condition not known to us or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist as to any of our properties. Moreover, there can be no assurance that (i) changes to existing laws, ordinances or regulations to address, among other things, climate change, will not impose any material environmental liability or (ii) the current environmental condition of our properties will not be affected by customers, 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.

13


All of our properties were subject to a Phase I or similar environmental assessment by independent environmental consultants at the time of acquisition. Phase I assessments are intended to discover and evaluate information regarding the environmental condition of the surveyed property and surrounding properties. Phase I assessments generally include a historical review, a public records review, an investigation of the surveyed site and surrounding properties, and preparation and issuance of a written report, but do not include soil sampling or subsurface investigations and typically do not include an asbestos survey. While some of these assessments have led to further investigation and sampling, none of our environmental assessments of our properties have revealed an environmental liability that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations taken as a whole. However, we cannot give any assurance that such conditions do not exist or may not arise in the future. Material environmental conditions, liabilities or compliance concerns may arise after the environmental assessment has been completed.
Environmental laws in the U.S. also require that owners or operators 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 building owners or operators who fail to comply with these requirements and may allow third-parties to seek recovery from owners or operators for personal injury associated with exposure to asbestos. Some of our properties may contain asbestos-containing building materials.
We invest in properties historically used for industrial, manufacturing and commercial purposes. Some of these properties contain, or may have contained, underground storage tanks for the storage of petroleum products and other hazardous or toxic substances. All of these operations create a potential for the release of petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances. Some of our properties are adjacent to or near other properties that may have contained or currently contain underground storage tanks used to store petroleum products, or other hazardous or toxic substances. In addition, previous or current occupants of our properties and adjacent properties may have engaged, or may in the future engage, in activities that may release petroleum products or other hazardous or toxic substances.
We have a portfolio environmental insurance policy that provides coverage for potential environmental liabilities, subject to the policy’s coverage conditions and limitations, for most of our properties. From time to time, we may acquire properties or interests in properties, with known adverse environmental conditions where we believe that the environmental liabilities associated with these conditions are quantifiable and that the acquisition will yield a superior risk-adjusted return. In such an instance, we underwrite the costs of environmental investigation, clean-up and monitoring into the cost. 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.
Our insurance coverage does not include all potential losses.
Real property is subject to casualty risk including damage, destruction, or loss resulting from events that are unusual, sudden and unexpected. Some of our properties are located in areas where casualty risk is higher due to earthquake, wind and/or flood risk. We carry comprehensive insurance coverage to mitigate our casualty risk, in amounts and of a kind that we believe are appropriate for the markets where each of our properties and their business operations are located. Among other coverage, we carry property, boiler and machinery, general liability, cyber liability, fire, flood, terrorism, earthquake, extended coverage and rental loss insurance. Our coverage includes policy specifications and limits customarily carried for similar properties and business activities.  We evaluate our level of insurance coverage and deductibles using analysis and modeling, as is customary in our industry. However, we do not insure against all types of casualty, and we may not fully insure against certain perils such as earthquake and cyber risk, either because coverage is not available or because we do not deem it to be economically feasible or prudent to do so. As a result, we could experience a significant loss of capital or revenues, and be exposed to obligations under recourse debt associated with a property. This could occur if an uninsured loss occurs, a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, or a loss is not paid due to insurer insolvency.

14


We may incur significant costs complying with various federal, state and local laws, regulations and covenants that are applicable to our properties and, in particular, costs associated with complying with regulations such as the Americans with Disabilities Act of 1990 (the "ADA") may result in unanticipated expenses.
The properties in our portfolio are subject to various covenants and U.S. federal, state and local laws and regulatory requirements, including permitting and licensing requirements. Local regulations, including municipal or local ordinances, zoning restrictions and restrictive covenants imposed by community developers may restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials or restrict our use of our properties and may require us to obtain approval from local officials of community standards organizations at any time with respect to our properties, including prior to acquiring a property or when undertaking renovations of any of our existing properties. Among other things, these restrictions may relate to fire and safety, seismic or hazardous material abatement requirements. There can be no assurance that existing laws and regulatory policies will not adversely affect us or the timing or cost of any future acquisitions or renovations, or that additional regulation will not be adopted that increase such delays or result in additional costs. Our growth strategy may be affected by our ability to obtain permits, licenses and zoning relief. Our failure to obtain such permits, licenses and zoning relief or to comply with applicable laws could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flow.
In addition, under the ADA, all places of public accommodation are required to meet certain U.S. federal requirements related to access and use by disabled persons. Noncompliance with the ADA could result in an order to correct any non-complying feature, which could result in substantial capital expenditures. We do not conduct audits or investigations of all of these properties to determine their compliance and we cannot predict the ultimate cost of compliance with the ADA, or other legislation. If one or more of our properties in which we invest is not in compliance with the ADA, or other legislation, then we would be required to incur additional costs to bring the property into compliance. If we incur substantial costs to comply with the ADA or other legislation, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, our ability to satisfy debt service obligations and to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.
Terrorist attacks and other acts of violence or war may affect the market for the Company's common stock, the industry in which we conduct our operations and our profitability.
Acts of violence, including terrorist attacks could occur in the localities in which we conduct business. More generally, these events could cause consumer confidence and spending to decrease or result in increased volatility in the worldwide financial markets and economy. These attacks or armed conflicts may adversely impact our operations or financial condition. In addition, losses resulting from these types of events may be uninsurable.
We face risks relating to cybersecurity attacks that could cause loss of confidential information and other business disruptions.
We rely extensively on computer systems to manage our business, and our business is at risk from and may be impacted by cybersecurity attacks. These could include attempts to gain unauthorized access to our data and computer systems. Attacks can be both individual and/or highly organized attempts organized by very sophisticated hacking organizations. We employ a number of measures to prevent, detect and mitigate these threats, which include password protection, frequent password change events, firewall detection systems, frequent backups, a redundant data system for core applications and annual penetration testing; however, there is no guarantee such efforts will be successful in preventing a cybersecurity attack. A cybersecurity attack could compromise the confidential information of our employees, tenants and vendors. A successful attack could have a materially adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively affect our liquidity and business operations.
The credit ratings of our senior unsecured notes are based on our operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analyses. Our credit ratings can affect the availability, terms and pricing of any indebtedness we may incur or preferred stock that we might issue going forward. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain any credit rating and, in the event any credit rating is downgraded, we could incur higher borrowing costs or may be unable to access certain or any capital markets.

15


Our business could be adversely impacted if we have deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting.
The design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent all errors, misstatements or misrepresentations. While management will continue to review the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, there can be no guarantee that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing all control objectives all of the time. Deficiencies, including any material weakness, in our internal control over financial reporting which may occur could result in misstatements of our results of operations, restatements of our financial statements, a decline in the price/value of our securities, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.
The Company is authorized to issue preferred stock. The issuance of preferred stock could adversely affect the holders of the Company's common stock issued pursuant to its public offerings.
Our declaration of trust authorizes the Company to issue 225,000,000 shares, of which 10,000,000 shares are designated as preferred stock. Subject to approval by the Company's Board of Directors, the Company may issue preferred stock with rights, preferences and privileges that are more beneficial than the rights, preferences and privileges of its common stock. Holders of the Company's common stock do not have preemptive rights to acquire any shares issued by the Company in the future. If the Company ever creates and issues preferred stock with a distribution preference over common stock, payment of any distribution preferences on outstanding preferred stock would reduce the amount of funds available for the payment of distributions to our common stockholders and Unitholders. In addition, holders of preferred stock are normally entitled to receive a preference payment in the event of liquidation, dissolution or winding up before any payment is made to our common stockholders, which would reduce the amount our common stockholders and Unitholders, might otherwise receive upon such an occurrence. Also, under certain circumstances, the issuance of preferred stock may have the effect of delaying or preventing a change in control of the Company.
The Company's Board of Directors may change its strategies, policies or procedures without stockholder approval, which may subject us to different and more significant risks in the future.
Our investment, financing, leverage and distribution policies and our policies with respect to all other activities, including growth, debt, capitalization and operations, are determined by the Company's Board of Directors. These policies may be amended or revised at any time and from time to time at the discretion of the Company's Board of Directors without notice to or a vote of its stockholders. This could result in us conducting operational matters, making investments or pursuing different business or growth strategies. Under these circumstances, we may expose ourselves to different and more significant risks in the future, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and growth. In addition, the Company's Board of Directors may change its governance policies provided that such changes are consistent with applicable legal requirements. A change in these policies could have an adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, ability to satisfy our principal and interest obligations, ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units.
We may be unable to retain and attract key management personnel.
We may be unable to retain and attract talented executives. In the event of the loss of key management personnel or upon unexpected death, disability or retirement, we may not be able to find replacements with comparable skill, ability and industry expertise. Until suitable replacements are identified and retained, if at all, our operating results and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.

16


We could be subject to risks and liabilities in connection with joint venture arrangements.
Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in joint ventures. Although we have no investments in joint ventures as of December 31, 2017, we may selectively develop and acquire properties through joint ventures with other persons or entities when we deem such transactions are warranted by the circumstances in the future. Joint venture investments, in general, involve certain risks not otherwise present with other methods of investment in real estate, including:
•
joint venturers may share certain approval rights over major decisions;
•
joint venturers might become bankrupt or otherwise fail to fund their share of any required capital commitments;
•
joint venturers might have economic or other business interests or goals that are competitive or inconsistent with our business interests or goals that would affect our ability to operate the property;
•
joint venturers may have the power to act contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including our current policy with respect to maintaining the Company's qualification as a REIT;
•
the joint venture agreements often restrict the transfer of a member’s or joint venturer’s interest or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell the interest when we desire or on advantageous terms;
•
disputes between us and our joint venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business and subject the properties owned by the applicable joint venture to additional risk; and
•
we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our joint venturers.
The occurrence of one or more of the events described above could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units.

Properties
General
At December 31, 2017, we owned 484 in-service industrial properties containing an aggregate of approximately 59.3 million square feet of GLA in 21 states, with a diverse base of approximately 1,350 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses, including manufacturing, retail, wholesale trade, distribution and professional services. The average annual base rent per square foot on a portfolio basis, calculated at December 31, 2017, was $5.08. The properties are generally located in business parks that have convenient access to interstate highways and/or rail and air transportation. We maintain insurance on our properties that we believe is adequate.
We classify our properties into four industrial categories: bulk warehouse, regional warehouse, light industrial and R&D/flex. While some properties may have characteristics which fall under more than one property type, we use what we believe is the most dominant characteristic to categorize the property.
The following describes, generally, the different industrial categories:
•
Bulk warehouse buildings are of more than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of at least 22 feet and are comprised of 5%-15% of office space;
•
Regional warehouses are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of at least 22 feet and are comprised of 5%-15% of office space;
•
Light industrial properties are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of 16-21 feet and are comprised of 5%-50% of office space; and
•
R&D/flex buildings are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of less than 16 feet and are comprised of 50% or more of office space.

Tenant and Lease Information
We have a diverse base of approximately 1,350 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses including retail, wholesale trade, distribution, manufacturing and professional services. At December 31, 2017, our leases have a weighted average lease length of 6.6 years and the majority provide for periodic rent increases that are either fixed or based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. Industrial tenants typically have net or semi-net leases and pay as additional rent their percentage of the property’s operating costs, including the costs of common area maintenance, utilities, property taxes and insurance. As of December 31, 2017, approximately 97.3% of the GLA of our in-service properties was leased, and no single tenant or group of related tenants accounted for more than 2.6% of our rent revenues, nor did any single tenant or group of related tenants occupy more than 2.3% of the total GLA of our in-service properties.

_______________
(1) 
Net rent is the average base rent calculated in accordance with GAAP, over the term of the lease.
(2) 
Straight Line basis rent growth is a ratio of the change in net rent (including straight-line rent adjustments) on a new or renewal lease compared to the net rent (including straight-line rent adjustments) of the comparable lease. New leases where there were no prior comparable leases are excluded.
(3) 
The lease term is expressed in years. Assumes no exercise of lease renewal options, if any.
(4) 
Lease costs are comprised of the costs incurred or capitalized for improvements of vacant and renewal spaces, as well as the commissions paid and costs capitalized for leasing transactions. Lease costs per square foot represent the total turnover costs expected to be incurred on the leases signed during the period and do not reflect actual expenditures for the period.
(5) 
Represents the weighted average square feet of tenants renewing their respective leases.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, 95 new leases commenced with free rent periods during the lease term with such leases constituting 2.4 million square feet of GLA. Total free rent concessions of $2.5 million were associated with these new leases. During the year ended December 31, 2017, two renewal leases commenced with free rent periods during the lease term with such leases constituting 0.1 million square feet of GLA. Total free rent concessions of $0.02 million were associated with these renewal leases. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2017, 12 development and not in service acquisition leases commenced with free rent periods during the lease term with such leases constituting 1.6 million square feet of GLA. Total free rent concessions of $2.7 million were associated with these development and not in service acquisition leases.

Lease Expirations
Fundamentals for the United States industrial real estate market remained favorable in 2017, as continued growth in the general economy, including e-commerce supply chain activity, drove additional demand for space. Development of new industrial space increased in response to this growth in demand. New supply slightly exceeded incremental demand in 2017, following seven years of net absorption outpacing new completions. National vacancy levels remained low and the overall industry conditions resulted in continued growth in market rental rate environments in virtually all of our markets. Based on our recent experience, a new supply/demand environment near equilibrium, and the 2018 forecast from a leading national research company, we expect our average net rental rates for renewal leases on a cash basis to be higher than the expiring rates. For 2018, net rental rates for new leases on a cash basis on average are also expected to be higher than the comparative prior leases, primarily due to the improvement in market conditions as compared to the conditions prevailing when the comparative leases were structured. The following table shows scheduled lease expirations for all leases for our in-service properties as of December 31, 2017.

As of February 20, 2018, the Company had 408 common stockholders of record. The number of holders does not include individuals or entities who beneficially own shares but whose shares are held of record by a broker or clearing agency, but does include each such broker or clearing agency as one record holder. The Operating Partnership had 124 holders of record of Units registered with our transfer agent.
In order to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code, the Company is generally required to make common share distributions and preferred share distributions (other than capital gain distributions) to its shareholders in amounts that together at least equal i) the sum of a) 90% of the Company's “REIT taxable income” computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains and b) 90% of net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus ii) certain excess non-cash income.
Our dividend/distribution policy is determined by the Company's Board of Directors and is dependent on multiple factors, including cash flow and capital expenditure requirements, as well as ensuring that the Company meets the minimum distribution requirements set forth in the Code. The Company met the minimum distribution requirements with respect to 2017.
Holders of Units are entitled to receive distributions when, as and if declared by the Company's Board of Directors, after the priority distributions required under the Operating Partnership's partnership agreement have been made with respect to preferred partnership interests in the Operating Partnership out of any funds legally available for that purpose.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Operating Partnership did not issue any Limited Partner Units.
Subject to certain lock-up periods, holders of Limited Partner Units can redeem their Units by providing written notification to the General Partner of the Operating Partnership. Unless the General Partner provides notice of a redemption restriction to the holder, redemption must be made within seven business days after receipt of the holder’s notice. The redemption can be effectuated, as determined by the General Partner, either by exchanging the Limited Partner Units for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, or by paying cash equal to the fair market value of such shares. Prior requests for redemption have generally been fulfilled with shares of common stock of the Company, and the Operating Partnership intends to continue this practice. If each Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership were redeemed as of December 31, 2017, the Operating Partnership could satisfy its redemption obligations by making an aggregate cash payment of approximately $126.1 million or by issuing 4,008,221 shares of the Company’s common stock.

Item 7.
Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the sections of this Form 10-K titled "Forward-Looking Statements" and "Selected Financial Data" and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.
Business Overview
The Company is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops and redevelops industrial real estate. The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust as defined in the Code.
We believe our financial condition and results of operations are, primarily, a function of our performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisition and development of additional industrial properties, disposition of industrial properties and access to external capital.
We generate revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from operating leases of our industrial properties. Such revenue is offset by certain property specific operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities and insurance expenses, along with certain other costs and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization costs and general and administrative and interest expenses. Our revenue growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to: (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties; (ii) maximize tenant recoveries; and (iii) minimize operating and certain other expenses. Revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries are a significant source of funds, in addition to income generated from gains on the sale of our properties (as discussed below), for our liquidity. The leasing of property, in general, and occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and certain non-operating expenses, in particular, are impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If we were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, our revenue would decline. Further, if a significant number of our tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if we were unable to rent our properties on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.
Our revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on our ability to acquire existing, and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. We seek to identify opportunities to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seek to acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they are leased, generate revenue from rental income, tenant recoveries and fees, income from which, as discussed above, is a source of funds for our distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders. The acquisition and development of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as expected. For example, acquired existing and acquired and developed new properties may not sustain and/or achieve anticipated occupancy and rental rate levels. With respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties. Also, we face significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded REITs and private investors. Further, as discussed below, we may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities we identify. If we were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable terms, or if such investments did not perform as expected, our revenue growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.

27


We also generate income from the sale of our properties (including existing buildings, buildings which we have developed or re-developed on a merchant basis and land). The gain or loss on, and fees from, the sale of such properties are included in our income and can be a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries. Proceeds from sales are used to repay outstanding debt and, market conditions permitting, may be used to fund the acquisition of existing industrial properties, and the acquisition and development of new industrial properties. The sale of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Further, our ability to sell properties is limited by safe harbor rules applying to REITs under the Code which relate to the number of properties that may be disposed of in a year, their tax bases and the cost of improvements made to the properties, along with other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms, our income growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.
We utilize a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securities to refinance debt and finance future acquisitions and developments. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in our financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts our cost of capital and our ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and our ability to fund acquisitions and developments. Our ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our debt, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of the Company's common stock. If we were unable to access external capital on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.
Summary of Significant Transactions During 2017
During 2017, we completed the following significant transactions and financing activities:
•
We acquired eight industrial properties comprising approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $174.2 million.
•
We placed in-service a development project totaling approximately 0.6 million square feet of GLA at a total cost of approximately $45.4 million. The occupancy of this development project is 100% at December 31, 2017.
•
We sold 60 industrial properties comprising approximately 4.6 million square feet of GLA for total gross sales proceeds of approximately $236.1 million.
•
We issued ten-year, $125.0 million private placement unsecured notes at a fixed rate of 4.30% and twelve-year, $75.0 million private placement unsecured notes at a fixed rate of 4.40%. Also, subsequent to year-end, we issued $150 million of 3.86% fixed rate senior unsecured notes with a 10-year term and $150 million of 3.96% fixed rate senior unsecured notes with a 12-year term. See Subsequent Events.
•
We amended the terms of our revolving line of credit to, among other things, decrease the interest spread, based on our current leverage, by five basis points, increase available capacity by $100 million and extend the maturity to October 2021, with a one-year extension option.
•
We amended the terms of both term loan agreements to, among other things, decrease by 50 basis points the interest spread on our $200 million term loan, which matures in January 2021, and decrease by a 40 basis points the interest spread on our $260 million term loan, which matures in September 2022.
•
We paid off and retired $156.9 million of unsecured notes with an average interest rate of 6.49% as well as $36.1 million in mortgage loans payable with an average interest rate of 5.58%.
•
We issued 2,560,000 shares of the Company's common stock in an underwritten public offering for proceeds, net of underwriting discounts and commissions, of $74.9 million.
•
We declared an annual cash dividend of $0.84 per common share or Unit, an increase of 10.5% from 2016.

Results of Operations
Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2017 to Year Ended December 31, 2016
Our net income was $208.3 million and $125.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2016 and held as an in-service property through December 31, 2017 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2016 or were substantially completed for the 12 months prior to January 1, 2016. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service, unless we anticipate the tenants to move out in the first year of ownership. Acquisitions that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition, developments and redevelopments are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development/redevelopment construction completion. Acquired properties with occupancy greater than 75% at acquisition, but with tenants that we anticipate will move out in the first year of ownership, will be placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or twelve months after move out. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2015 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2017. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2015. (Re)Developments include developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2016; or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2016. Other revenues are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous revenues. Other property expenses are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, vacant land expenses and other miscellaneous regional expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, one industrial property, comprising approximately 0.1 million square feet of GLA, was taken out of service due to a fire which caused major damage to the building. As a result of taking this industrial property out of service, the results of operations were reclassified from the same store property classification to the (re)development classification. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2016, one industrial property, comprising approximately 28 thousand square feet of GLA, was taken out of service due to a fire which caused complete destruction of the building. The results of this property are also included in the (re) development classification. We intend to rebuild and repair both of these damaged buildings and will reclassify the operations of both properties to the same store classification following a complete calendar year of in service classification.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, one industrial property, comprising approximately 0.2 million square feet of GLA, was taken out of service with the intention of demolishing the industrial property and developing a new industrial property. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the newly developed industrial property was completed and the results related to this industrial property are included in the (re)development classification. This property will return to the same store classification in the first quarter of 2018.
Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition, (re)development and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.
For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the average occupancy rates of our same store properties were 96.2% and 96.4%, respectively.

Revenues from same store properties increased $9.7 million due primarily to an increase in rental rates and tenant recoveries, slightly offset by a decrease in occupancy. Revenues from acquired properties increased $6.6 million due to the 14 industrial properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2015 totaling approximately 1.8 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from sold properties decreased $16.3 million due to the 123 industrial properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2015 totaling approximately 8.6 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments increased $16.8 million due to an increase in occupancy. Other revenues increased $1.5 million primarily due to an increase in occupancy related to three properties acquired in the year ended December 31, 2015 that were placed in service during the year ended December 31, 2016.

Property expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other property related expenses. Property expenses from same store properties increased $2.5 million primarily due to an increase in real estate tax expense caused by higher assessed values on our properties and real estate tax abatements expiring. Property expenses from acquired properties increased $1.9 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2015. Property expenses from sold properties decreased $6.2 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2015. Property expenses from (re)developments increased $3.3 million primarily due to the substantial completion of developments. Other property expenses decreased $0.4 million due to a decrease in certain miscellaneous expenses.
General and administrative expense increased $1.4 million, or 5.2%, primarily due to an increase in incentive compensation during the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016.
As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, on January 1, 2017 we adopted a new accounting standard relating to the definition of a business. As a result of this adoption, our acquisitions of real estate during the year ended December 31, 2017 did not meet the definition of a business combination and thus the closing costs, which historically have been expensed, were capitalized as part of the basis of the real estate assets acquired. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized $0.5 million of expenses related to costs associated with acquiring industrial properties from third parties.

Depreciation and other amortization from same store properties decreased by $1.4 million due to accelerated depreciation and amortization taken during the year ended December 31, 2016 attributable to certain tenants who terminated their leases early. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased $3.5 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2015. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $5.0 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2015. Depreciation and other amortization from (re)developments increased $1.8 million primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization related to completed developments offset by accelerated depreciation on one property in Rancho Dominguez, CA which was razed during the year ended December 31, 2016. Depreciation from corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment and other increased $0.2 million due to higher depreciation related to incurred leasing costs at three properties acquired in the year ended December 31, 2015 that were placed in service during the year ended December 31, 2016.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized $131.3 million of gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of 60 industrial properties comprising approximately 4.6 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. For the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized $68.2 million of gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of 63 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.9 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels.
Interest expense decreased $2.2 million, or 3.8%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2017 (4.42%) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016 (4.50%), a decrease in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2017 ($1,392.2 million) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016 ($1,400.5 million) and an increase in capitalized interest of $0.8 million for the year ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2016 due to an increase in development activities.
Amortization of debt issuance costs remained relatively unchanged.
In September 2017, we entered into interest rate protection agreements (the “Treasury Locks”) in order to fix the interest rate on an anticipated unsecured debt offering. The Treasury Locks were settled during the fourth quarter. Due to the strict requirements surrounding the application of hedge accounting, we elected not to designate the Treasury Locks as hedges. As such, the Company recorded the full change in the fair value of the Treasury Locks within the income statement as opposed to being recorded in other comprehensive income. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we recorded $1.9 million of settlement gain on interest rate protection agreements.
For the year ended December 31, 2017, we recognized a loss from retirement of debt of $1.8 million due to prepayment penalties related to the early payoff of certain mortgage loans and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs on these mortgage loans as well as the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to an exiting lender on our revolving line of credit and one of our unsecured term loans.
The income tax provision remained relatively unchanged.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2016 to Year Ended December 31, 2015
The Company's net income was $125.7 million and $76.7 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Operating Partnership's net income was $125.7 million and $76.8 million for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.
The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2015 and held as an in-service property through December 31, 2016 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2015 or were substantially completed for the 12 months prior to January 1, 2015. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service, unless we anticipate the tenants to move out in the first year of ownership. Acquisitions that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition, developments and redevelopments are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development/redevelopment construction completion. Acquired properties with occupancy greater than 75% at acquisition, but with tenants that we anticipate will move out in the first year of ownership, will be placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or twelve months after move out. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2014 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2016. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2014. (Re)Developments include developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2015; or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2015. Other revenues are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous revenues. Other property expenses are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, vacant land expenses and other miscellaneous regional expenses.
During the year ended December 31, 2015, one industrial property, comprising approximately 0.2 million square feet of GLA, was taken out of service with the intention of demolishing the industrial property and developing a new industrial property. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the newly developed industrial property was completed and the results related to this industrial property are included in the (re)development classification. This property will return to the same store classification in the first quarter of 2018.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, one industrial property, comprising approximately 28 thousand square feet of GLA, was taken out of service due to a fire which caused complete destruction of the building. As a result of taking the industrial property out of service, the results related to this industrial property were reclassified from the same store classification to the (re) development classification. We intend to rebuild the damaged building and will reclassify the operations of the property to the same store classification following a complete calendar year of in service classification.
Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition, (re)development and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.
For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the average occupancy rates of our same store properties were 95.9% and 95.2%, respectively.

Revenues from same store properties increased $11.4 million due primarily to an increase in occupancy, rental rates and tenant recoveries. Revenues from acquired properties increased $8.2 million due to the 14 industrial properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2014 totaling approximately 2.7 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from sold properties decreased $22.8 million due to the 129 industrial properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2014 totaling approximately 7.7 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments increased $15.2 million due to an increase in occupancy. Other revenues increased $0.3 million primarily due to an increase in occupancy related to a property acquired in the year ended December 31, 2014 that was placed in service during the year ended December 31, 2015.

Property expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other property related expenses. Property expenses from same store properties increased $1.2 million primarily due to a decrease in real estate tax refunds received in 2016 compared to 2015. Property expenses from acquired properties increased $2.6 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2014. Property expenses from sold properties decreased $8.9 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2014. Property expenses from (re)developments increased $3.1 million primarily due to the substantial completion of developments. Other property expenses remained relatively unchanged.
General and administrative expense for the Company increased $1.3 million, or 5.3%, and for the Operating Partnership increased $1.5 million, or 5.8%, in each case primarily due to an increase in compensation, partially offset by a decrease in professional service expense during the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015.
For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, we recognized $0.5 million and $1.4 million, respectively, of expense related to costs associated with acquiring industrial properties from third parties.
The impairment charge for the year ended December 31, 2015 of $0.6 million is due to marketing certain properties for sale and our assessment of the likelihood of a potential sale transaction.

Depreciation and other amortization from same store properties remained relatively unchanged. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased $5.3 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2014. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $7.3 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2014. Depreciation and other amortization from (re)developments increased $6.2 million primarily due to an increase in developments that were placed in service as well as accelerated depreciation on one property in Rancho Dominguez, CA which was razed during the year ended December 31, 2016. Depreciation from corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment and other remained relatively unchanged.
For the year ended December 31, 2016, we recognized $68.2 million of gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of 63 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.9 million square feet of GLA. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recognized $48.9 million of gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of 66 industrial properties comprising approximately 3.8 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels.
Interest expense decreased $8.0 million, or 11.9%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2016 (4.50%) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 (4.99%) and an increase in capitalized interest of $1.1 million for the year ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 due to an increase in development activities, offset by an increase in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2016 ($1,400.5 million) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 ($1,399.9 million).
Amortization of debt issuance costs remained relatively unchanged.
In August 2014, we entered into interest rate protection agreements in order to maintain our flexibility to pursue an offering of unsecured debt. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we de-designated the interest rate protection agreements as a result of determining the forecasted offering of unsecured debt was no longer probable to occur within the time period stated in the respective hedge designation memos. For the year ended December 31, 2015, we recorded $11.5 million of settlement loss on the three interest rate protection agreements.
Equity in income of joint ventures is not significant.
The income tax provision increased $1.0 million during the year ended December 31, 2016 compared to the year ended December 31, 2015 primarily due to an increase in taxable gain from the sales of real estate from one of our TRSs.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies relate to the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.
•
Accounts Receivable: We are subject to tenant defaults and bankruptcies that could affect the collection of rent due under our outstanding accounts receivable, including straight-line rent. In order to mitigate these risks, we perform credit reviews on all prospective tenants meeting certain financial thresholds before leases are executed. We closely monitor all existing tenants and maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts which is an estimate that is based on our assessment of various factors including the accounts receivable aging, customer credit-worthiness and historical bad debts.
•
Investment in Real Estate: We allocate purchase price of acquired properties to tangible (land, building, tenant improvements) and identified intangible assets (leasing commissions, in-place leases, tenant relationships, above and below market leases and below market ground lease obligations). Above-market and below-market lease and below market ground lease obligation values for acquired properties are recorded based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rents for each corresponding in-place lease. Leasing commission, in-place lease and tenant relationship values for acquired properties are recorded based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value allocated to tenant relationships is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimate of the probability of lease renewal and its estimated term. We also allocate purchase price on multi-property portfolios to individual properties. The allocation of purchase price is based on our assessment of various characteristics of the markets where the property is located and the expected cash flows of the property.
•
Capitalization of Costs: We capitalize costs incurred in developing and expanding real estate assets as part of the investment basis. During the construction period, we capitalize interest costs, real estate taxes and certain costs of the personnel performing development up to the time the property is substantially complete. The interest rate used to capitalize interest is based upon our average borrowing rate on existing debt. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. We also capitalize internal and external costs incurred to successfully originate a lease that result directly from, and are essential to, the acquisition of that lease. Leasing costs that meet the requirements for capitalization are presented as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets. The determination and calculation of certain costs requires estimates by us.
•
Impairment of Real Estate Assets: We review our real estate assets for possible impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying amounts may not be recoverable. The judgments regarding the existence of indicators of impairment are based on the operating performance, market conditions, as well as our ability to hold and our intent with regard to each property.  The judgments regarding whether the carrying amounts of these assets may not be recoverable are based on estimates of future undiscounted cash flows from properties which include estimates of future operating performance and market conditions. If any real estate investment is considered permanently impaired, a loss is recorded to reduce the carrying value of the property to its estimated fair value.  Real estate assets that are classified as held-for-sale are reported at the lower of their carrying value or their fair value, less estimated costs to sell.

35


•
Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities: We account for income taxes related to one of our TRSs under the asset and liability method, which requires the recognition of deferred tax assets and liabilities for the expected future tax consequents of events that have been included in the financial statements. Our estimates are based on our interpretation of tax laws. These estimates may have an impact on the income tax expense recognized. Adjustments may be required by a change in assessment of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, changes due to audit adjustments by federal and state tax authorities, the Company's inability to qualify as a REIT and changes in tax laws. Adjustments required in any given period are included within the income tax provision. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, we estimate future taxable income, considering the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax loss carryforwards. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through an increase to income in the period in which that determination is made.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At December 31, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash were approximately $21.1 million and $25.3 million, respectively. Restricted cash is comprised of gross proceeds from the sales of certain industrial properties. These sale proceeds will be disbursed as we exchange industrial properties under Section 1031 of the Code. We also had $575.7 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility as of December 31, 2017.
We have considered our short-term (through December 31, 2018) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We have $158.5 million in mortgage loans payable outstanding at December 31, 2017 that we anticipate prepaying prior to December 31, 2018. We expect to satisfy these payment obligations on or prior to the maturity dates with the issuance of unsecured debt securities (see Subsequent Events). With the exception of these payment obligations, we believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company's REIT qualification under the Code and distributions approved by the Company's Board of Directors. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating activities as well as the disposition of select assets. These needs may also be met by the issuance of additional equity or debt securities or long-term unsecured indebtedness, subject to market conditions and contractual restrictions or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.
We expect to meet long-term (after December 31, 2018) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through the disposition of select assets, long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities, subject to market conditions.
At December 31, 2017, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.46%. As of February 23, 2018 we had approximately $720.8 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if we fail to meet any of these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of December 31, 2017, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants in 2018.
As of December 31, 2017, our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings of BBB-/Positive, Baa3/Positive and BBB/Stable, respectively. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient capital; however, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.

Changes in cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2017, compared to the prior year comparable period are described as follows:
Operating Activities: Cash provided by operating activities increased $17.8 million, primarily due to the following:
•
Increase in NOI generated from recently developed properties of $13.5 million, an increase in NOI from same store properties due to an increase in rental rates of $7.2 million and an increase in NOI from acquired properties of $4.8 million offset by decreases in NOI due to building disposals of $10.1 million.
Investing Activities: Cash used in investing activities decreased $14.8 million, primarily due to the following:
•
Decrease of $38.5 million due to higher proceeds received from the disposition of real estate in 2017 less cash held at our 1031 intermediary; and
•
Decrease of $34.0 million due to less building, tenant improvement and leasing commission expenditures; and
•
Insurance proceeds of $10.1 million received in 2017 related to casualty losses related to fires at two of our buildings.
Offset by:
•
Increase of $67.8 million due to an increase in real estate acquisitions in 2017.
Financing Activities: Cash used in financing activities increased $27.1 million for the Company (increased $27.2 million for the Operating Partnership), primarily due to the following:
•
Increase in net debt repayments aggregating to $155.6 million; and
•
Decrease of $50.1 million in proceeds related to the issuance of common stock in underwritten public offerings; and
•
Increase of $17.8 million in the payment of common stock dividends and distributions.
Offset by:
•
The issuance of unsecured private placement notes in 2017 aggregating to $200.0 million.

(4)

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
At December 31, 2017, we had letters of credit and performance bonds outstanding amounting to $20.2 million in the aggregate. The letters of credit and performance bonds are not reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K, other than those disclosed on the Contractual Obligations and Commitments table above that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity and capital resources.
Environmental
We paid approximately $0.4 million and $0.4 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, related to environmental expenditures. We estimate 2018 expenditures of approximately $0.3 million. We estimate that the aggregate expenditures which need to be expended in 2018 and beyond with regard to currently identified environmental issues will not exceed approximately $1.0 million.
Inflation
For the last several years, inflation has not had a significant impact on us because of the relatively low inflation rates in our markets of operation. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, our leases have a weighted average lease length of 6.6 years which may enable us to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rentals if rents of existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.
Market Risk
The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes "forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, as described below.

Interest Rate Risk
The following analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments which are held by us at December 31, 2017 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.
In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.
At December 31, 2017, $1,160.3 million or 88.9% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. This includes $460.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements. As of the same date, $144.5 million or 11.1% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was variable rate debt. At December 31, 2016, $1,164.2 million or 86.0% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. This includes $460.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements. As of the same date, $189.5 million or 14.0% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was variable rate debt.
For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the base interest rate used to calculate the all-in interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.
Our variable rate debt is subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had approximately $144.5 million and $189.5 million, respectively, of variable rate debt outstanding indexed to LIBOR rates (excluding the $460.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements). If the LIBOR rates relevant to our variable rate debt were to have increased 10%, we estimate that our interest expense during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016 would have increased by approximately $0.26 million and $0.14 million, respectively, based on our average outstanding floating-rate debt during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Additionally, if weighted average interest rates on our fixed rate debt were to have increased by 10% due to refinancing, interest expense would have increased by approximately $5.8 million and $6.0 million during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.
As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately $1,341.5 million and $1,384.1 million, respectively, based on our estimate of the then-current market interest rates.
The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage risks of increases in interest rates with respect to the effect these fluctuations would have on our earnings and cash flows. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, we had interest rate protection agreements with a notional aggregate amount outstanding of $460.0 million, which mitigate our exposure to our unsecured term loans' variable interest rates, which are based upon LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreements. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we settled certain interest rate protection agreements, which were entered into in September 2017, to maintain our flexibility to pursue an offering of unsecured debt. We received a settlement payment of $1.9 million from our derivative counterparties and recognized such payment as settlement gain on interest rate protection agreements. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of these interest rate protection agreements. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

Supplemental Earnings Measure
Investors in and industry analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations ("FFO") and net operating income ("NOI") as supplemental operating performance measures of an equity REIT. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time through depreciation. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors prefer to supplement operating results that use historical cost accounting with measures such as FFO and NOI, among others. We provide information related to FFO and same store NOI ("SS NOI") both because such industry analysts are interested in such information, and because our management believes FFO and SS NOI are important performance measures. FFO and SS NOI are factors used by management in measuring our performance, including for purposes of determining the compensation of our executive officers under our 2017 incentive compensation plan.
Neither FFO nor SS NOI should be considered as a substitute for net income, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Neither FFO nor SS NOI represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and neither should be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.
Funds From Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has recognized and defined for the real estate industry a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance, FFO, that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO is calculated by us in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT and therefore may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Management believes that the use of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities, combined with net income (which remains the primary measure of performance), improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management believes that, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, real estate asset depreciation and amortization and impairment of depreciable real estate, investors and analysts are able to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’s activity and use these operating results for assistance in comparing these operating results between periods or to those of different companies.
The following table shows a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders and participating securities to the calculation of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, and 2013.

Same Store Net Operating Income
SS NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides a measure of rental operations and, as calculated by us, that does not factor in depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, acquisition costs, interest expense, impairment charges, equity in income and loss from joint ventures, income tax benefit and expense, gains and losses on retirement of debt, sale of real estate and mark-to-market and settlement gain (loss) on interest rate protection agreements. We define SS NOI as revenues minus property expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses, minus the NOI of properties that are not same store properties and minus the impact of straight-line rent, the amortization of lease inducements, the amortization of above/below market rent and lease termination fees. As so defined, SS NOI may not be comparable to same store net operating income or similar measures reported by other REITs that define same store properties or NOI differently. The major factors influencing SS NOI are occupancy levels, rental rate increases or decreases and tenant recoveries increases or decreases. Our success depends largely upon our ability to lease space and to recover the operating costs associated with those leases from our tenants.
The following table shows a reconciliation of the same store revenues and property expenses disclosed in the results of operations (and reconciled to revenues and expenses reflected on the statements of operations) to SS NOI for the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016.

Subsequent Events
From January 1, 2018 to February 23, 2018, we acquired one industrial property and one land parcel for a purchase price of approximately $15.6 million, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial property.
During January 2018, the Company restructured its staffing to align its personnel with changes in its portfolio. The severance and other costs associated with the restructuring is approximately $1.0 million.
During February 2018, the Company renewed a lease on a long term basis for a 1.3 million square feet facility located in Eastern PA, that was set to expire during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Effective as of January 1, 2018, the Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, adopted a First Amendment to the Twelfth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (the “LPA Amendment”) to amend the Twelfth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership (the “Existing LPA”) to provide that the General Partner, who had existing authority regarding tax matters decision-making authority as the “Tax Matters Partner” of the Operating Partnership under the Existing LPA, would also be designated as the “Partnership Representative” of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the revised partnership audit rules adopted pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 with respect to taxable years starting January 1, 2018.  A conformed copy of the Existing LPA, which incorporates the amendments effectuated pursuant to the LPA Amendment, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.9 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.

On February 15, 2018, the Operating Partnership issued $150.0 million of 3.86% Series C Guaranteed Senior Notes due February 15, 2028 (the “2028 Private Placement Notes”) and $150.0 million of 3.96% Series D Guaranteed Senior Notes due February 15, 2030 (the “2030 Private Placement Notes”) in a private placement pursuant to a Note and Guaranty Agreement dated December 12, 2017. The 2028 Private Placement Notes and the 2030 Private Placement Notes are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and require semi-annual interest payments.
We anticipate paying off $157.8 million of mortgage loans payable which were originally scheduled to mature on June 1, 2018 on or about March 1, 2018.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of
First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.:
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in stockholders’ equity and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, 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, 2017, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017 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, 2017, 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.
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.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Partners of
First Industrial, L.P.:
Opinions on the Financial Statements and Internal Control over Financial Reporting
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of First Industrial, L.P. and its subsidiaries (the “Operating Partnership”) as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 and the related consolidated statements of operations, of comprehensive income, of changes in partners’ capital and of cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017, including the related notes and financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”). We also have audited the Company's internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2017, 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 Operating Partnership as of December 31, 2017 and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2017 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

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.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC. AND FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Dollars in thousands, except per share and Unit data)
1. Organization
First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops and redevelops industrial real estate. The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner (the "General Partner"), with an approximate 96.8% and 96.7% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through eight other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, wholly-owned by the Company, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100% ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. Noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 3.2% and 3.3% at December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively, represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units") . 
Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs, the Other Real Estate Partnerships and the TRSs are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, the members or the shareholders, as applicable, of such entities in accordance with the provisions contained within their respective organizational documents.
As of December 31, 2017, we owned 488 industrial properties located in 21 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 60.2 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 488 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.
Any references to the number of industrial properties and square footage in the financial statement footnotes are unaudited.
2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2017 and 2016 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 include the accounts and operating results of the Company and the Operating Partnership. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Use of Estimates
In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"), in preparation of our consolidated financial statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each of the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash includes cash held in escrow in connection with gross proceeds from the sales of certain industrial properties. These sales proceeds will be disbursed as we exchange into properties under Section 1031 of the Code. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments.

64


Investment in Real Estate and Depreciation
Investment in real estate is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We review our properties on a quarterly basis for impairment and provide a provision if impairments exist. To determine if an impairment may exist, we review our properties and identify those that have had either an event of change or event of circumstances warranting further assessment of recoverability (such as a decrease in occupancy, a decline in general market conditions or a change in the expected hold period of an asset or asset group). If further assessment of recoverability is needed, we estimate the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the property and its eventual disposition. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property or group of properties, we will recognize an impairment loss based upon the estimated fair value of the property or group of properties. For properties we consider held for sale, we cease depreciating the properties and value the properties at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property or group of properties previously classified as held for sale, we will reclassify the properties as held and used. Properties are measured at the lower of their carrying amounts (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the properties been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. We classify properties as held for sale when all criteria within the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the "FASB") guidance on the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets are met.
Interest costs, real estate taxes, compensation costs of development personnel and other directly related costs incurred during construction periods are capitalized and depreciated commencing with the date the property is substantially completed. Upon substantial completion, we reclassify construction in progress to building, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. Such costs begin to be capitalized to the development projects from the point we are undergoing necessary activities to get the development ready for its intended use and cease when the development projects are substantially completed and held available for occupancy. Interest is capitalized using the weighted average borrowing rate during the period.
Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives: 
 
Years
Buildings and Improvements
7 to 50
Land Improvements
5 to 20
Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment
3 to 10
Tenant Improvements
Lease Term
Construction expenditures for tenant improvements, leasehold improvements and leasing commissions (inclusive of compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing) are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Capitalized compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing relate to time directly attributable to originating leases with tenants that result directly from and are essential to originating those leases and would not have been incurred had these leasing transactions not occurred. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized.
Upon acquisition of a property, we allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consists of land, buildings, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and intangible assets including in-place leases, above market and below market leases, below market ground lease obligations and tenant relationships. We allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. Acquired above and below market leases and below market ground lease obligations are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases and below market ground lease obligations, and the initial term plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options for below market leases. The above market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the below market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

65


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 our overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships, which are included as components of deferred leasing intangibles, net are amortized over the remaining lease term (and expected renewal periods of the respective lease for tenant relationships) as adjustments to depreciation and other amortization expense. If a tenant terminates its lease early, the unamortized portion of the tenant improvements, leasing commissions, above and below market leases, the in-place lease value and tenant relationships is immediately written off.
Acquisition related costs associated with business combinations are expensed as incurred. As defined by GAAP, a business is an integrated set of activities and assets that is capable of being conducted and managed for the purpose of providing a return in the form of dividends, lower costs or other economic benefits directly to investors or other owners, members or participants. Due to the adoption of the Accounting Standard Updates ("ASU") in 2017, we expect most acquisitions to be treated as asset acquisitions rather than business combinations as our typical acquisitions consist of properties whereby substantially all the fair value of gross assets acquired is concentrated in a single asset (land, building, and in-place leases), which under the new standard, will be treated as an asset acquisition. Acquisition costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized to the basis of the acquired asset.
Deferred leasing intangibles, net of accumulated amortization, included in our total assets and total liabilities consist of the following:

Rental revenues increased by $1,116, $996 and $462 related to net amortization of above and below market leases. We will recognize net amortization expense related to deferred leasing intangibles over the next five years, for properties owned as of December 31, 2017 as follows:

Debt Issuance Costs
Debt issuance costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing. These fees and costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans. Unamortized debt issuance costs are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date. Debt issuance costs are presented as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the respective debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The debt issuance costs related to the unsecured credit facility remain classified as an asset and are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets.

Investments in Joint Ventures
Investments in joint ventures represented noncontrolling equity or limited partnership interests in joint ventures. We accounted for investments in joint ventures under the equity method of accounting, as we did not have a majority voting interest, operational control or financial control. Control is determined using accounting standards related to the consolidation of joint ventures and variable interest entities ("VIEs"). In order to assess whether consolidation of a VIE is required, an enterprise is required to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a VIE based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Additionally, they require an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary and provide a framework for the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE.
Under the equity method of accounting, our share of earnings or losses of joint ventures was reflected in income as earned and contributions or distributions increased or decreased our investments in joint ventures as paid or received, respectively. Differences between our carrying value of our investments in joint ventures and our underlying equity of such joint ventures were amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets. During the year ended 2015, the joint venture in which we held a noncontrolling equity interest, sold its last remaining industrial property.
Limited Partner Units
Limited Partner Units are reported within Partners’ Capital in the Operating Partnership's balance sheet as of December 31, 2017 and 2016 because they are not redeemable for cash or other assets (a) at a fixed or determinable date, (b) at the option of the Unitholder or (c) upon the occurrence of an event that is not solely within the control of the Operating Partnership. Redemption can be effectuated, as determined by the General Partner, either by exchanging the Units for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, or by paying cash equal to the fair market value of such shares.
The Operating Partnership is the only significant asset of the Company and economic, fiduciary and contractual means align the interests of the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Company's Board of Directors and officers of the Company direct the Company to act when acting in its capacity as sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. Because of this, the Operating Partnership is deemed to have effective control of the form of redemption consideration. As of December 31, 2017, all criteria were met for the Operating Partnership to control the actions or events necessary to issue the maximum number of the Company’s common shares required to be delivered upon redemption of all remaining Limited Partner Units.
Stock Based Compensation
We measure compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognize compensation expense over the service period for awards expected to vest.
Net income, net of preferred stock dividends or preferred Unit distributions and redemption of preferred stock or preferred Units, is allocated to common stockholders or Unitholders and participating securities based upon their proportionate share of weighted average shares or Units plus weighted average participating securities. Participating securities are unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. Restricted stock or restricted Unit awards granted to employees and directors are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable dividend or dividend equivalents at the same rate as common stock or Units. See Note 8 for further disclosure about participating securities.
Revenue Recognition
Rental income is recognized on a straight-line method under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Tenant recovery income includes payments from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses and is recognized as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred by us.
If the lease provides for tenant improvements, we determine whether the tenant improvements are owned by the tenant or us. When we are the owner of the tenant improvements, the tenant is not considered to have taken physical possession or have control of the leased asset until the tenant improvements are substantially complete. Also, when we are the owner of the tenant improvements, any tenant improvements funded by the tenant are treated as lease payments which are deferred and amortized into income over the lease term. When the tenant is the owner of the tenant improvements, we record any tenant improvement allowance funded as a lease inducement and amortize it as a reduction of revenue over the lease term.
Revenue is generally recognized on payments received from tenants for early lease terminations upon the effective termination of a tenant’s lease and when we have no further obligations under the lease.

We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant accounts receivable including deferred rent receivable, which is estimated to be uncollectible. Tenant accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $310 and $528 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. Deferred rent receivable in the consolidated balance sheets is shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,557 and $1,694 as of December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively. For accounts receivable we deem uncollectible, we use the direct write-off method.
Gain on Sale of Real Estate
Gain on sale of real estate is recognized using the full accrual method, when appropriate. Gains relating to transactions which do not meet the full accrual method of accounting are deferred and recognized when the full accrual method of accounting criteria are met or by using the installment or deposit methods of profit recognition, as appropriate in the circumstances. As the assets are sold, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are written off with resulting gains or losses reflected in net income. Estimated future costs to be incurred by us after completion of each sale are accrued and included in the determination of the gain on sales.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of its adjusted taxable income to its stockholders. Management intends to continue to adhere to these requirements and to maintain the Company's REIT status. As a REIT, the Company is entitled to a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends it pays to shareholders. Accordingly, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income taxes as long as it currently distributes to shareholders an amount equal to or in excess of the Company's taxable income. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, it will be subject to federal income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years.
REIT qualification reduces, but does not eliminate, the amount of state and local taxes we pay. In addition, our financial statements include the operations of taxable corporate subsidiaries that are not entitled to a dividends paid deduction and are subject to corporate federal, state and local income taxes.
In accordance with partnership taxation, each of the partners of the Operating Partnership is responsible for reporting their share of taxable income or loss.
We may also be subject to certain federal excise and franchise taxes if we engage in certain types of transactions. A benefit or provision has been made for federal, state and local income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. The provision for excise and franchise taxes has been reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and has not been separately stated due to its insignificance.
Earnings Per Share and Earnings Per Unit ("EPS" and "EPU")
Basic net income per common share or Unit is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or Unitholders by the weighted average number of common shares or Units outstanding for the period.
Diluted net income per common share or Unit is computed by dividing net income available to common shareholders or Unitholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares or Units outstanding and any dilutive non-participating securities for the period.
Derivative Financial Instruments
Historically, we have used interest rate protection agreements ("Agreements") to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured notes. Receipts or payments that result from the settlement of Agreements used to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured notes are amortized over the life of the derivative or the life of the debt and included in interest expense. Receipts or payments resulting from Agreements used to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt are recognized as a component of interest expense. Agreements which qualify for hedge accounting are marked-to-market and any gain or loss that is effective is recognized in other comprehensive income whereas mark-to-market gains and losses on Agreements which do not qualify for hedge accounting are recognized in net income immediately. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income (loss) during the hedge period are reclassified to earnings in the same period during which the forecasted transaction or hedged item affects net income. The credit risks associated with Agreements are controlled through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of the counterparty. In the event that the counterparty fails to meet the terms of Agreements, our exposure is limited to the fair value of Agreements, not the notional amounts.

68


Fair Value
GAAP establishes a framework for measuring fair value and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in an orderly transaction between market participants. The guidance establishes a hierarchy for inputs used in measuring fair value based on observable and unobservable inputs by requiring that the most observable inputs be used when available. Observable inputs are based on market data obtained from independent sources. Unobservable inputs are inputs that reflect our assumptions of pricing the asset or liability based on the best information available in the circumstances. We estimate fair value using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three broad levels:
•
Level 1 - quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date;
•
Level 2 - inputs other than quoted prices within Level 1 that are either directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability; and
•
Level 3 - unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists for the asset or liability.
Our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to their fair value measurement. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that we would realize on disposition.
Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale
We report results of operations from real estate assets that are sold or classified as held for sale as discontinued operations provided the disposal represents a strategic shift that has (or will have) a major effect on our operations and financial results.
We generally classify certain properties and related assets and liabilities as held for sale when the sale of an asset has been duly approved by management, a legally enforceable contract has been executed and the buyers due diligence period, if any, has expired. At such time, the respective assets and liabilities are presented separately on the consolidated balance sheets. Assets held for sale are reported at the lower of carrying value or estimated fair value less estimated costs to sell.
Segment Reporting
Management views the Company, inclusive of the Operating Partnership, as a single segment based on its method of internal reporting.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
New Accounting Standards Adopted
Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted ASU No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business" ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the framework for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities meets the definition of a business. The revised framework establishes a screen for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities is a business and narrows the definition of a business, which is expected to result in fewer transactions being accounted for as business combinations. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. We applied ASU 2017-01 prospectively. We anticipate that our acquisitions of real estate in the future will generally not meet the definition of a business combination and, accordingly, transaction costs which have historically been expensed will be capitalized as part of the basis of the real estate assets acquired.

69


New Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Adopted
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue when they transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018. Given the nature of our business, a majority of our revenue comes from rent and recoveries earned from leasing our properties which will be assessed with the adoption of the new lease accounting standard discussed below. Generally, our only significant source of non-lease related contract revenue comes from real estate sales; however, our property dispositions over the last three years have been cash sales with no future involvement in the property operations. Therefore, we do not anticipate that the adoption of the standard will have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases. ASU 2016-02 will require lessees, at lease commencement to record a lease liability, which is a lessee’s obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and record a right-of-use asset, which represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. We are a lessee on a limited number of ground and office leases as disclosed in Note 14. While we expect to record a right-of-use asset and lease liability upon adoption of this standard, we anticipate the impact will not be material to our overall financial condition and results of operations. We are the lessor on a significant number of leases, however, we believe that ASU 2016-02 will have minimal impact to our financial condition or results of operations as such leases will be accounted for in a similar method to existing GAAP standards with the underlying leased asset being reported and recognized as a real estate asset and rental income being recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term. The most significant changes ASU 2016-02 will have to lessor accounting will be the requirement that lessors expense certain initial direct costs that are not incremental in negotiating a lease as incurred. Under existing GAAP standards, certain of these costs are capitalizable. ASU 2016-02 requires the use of a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest period presented in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. If practical expedients are elected, we would not be required to reassess (1) whether an expired or existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (2) the lease classification for expired or existing leases; and (3) whether costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs would continue to be amortized. We continue to monitor FASB activity with respect to possible amendments to ASU 2016-02, particularly the Board’s recent vote to provide an optional practical expedient to lessors that would remove the requirement for lessors to separate lease and non-lease components when the pattern of recognition of those components are the same and, when combined as a single unit, those would be classified as operating leases. Should such amendment be finalized, we expect to elect the practical expedient. We will adopt ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 and anticipate electing the practical expedients. We will continue to refine our evaluation and finalize our implementation plan throughout 2018.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues and intends to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with retrospective application required. We expect ASU 2016-15 to impact the presentation of our consolidated statement of cash flows and we will adopt ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"). ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning- of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We expect ASU 2016-18 to impact the presentation of our consolidated statement of cash flows and we will adopt ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018.
In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeting Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 is intended to better align financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. As a result of the transition guidance, cumulative ineffectiveness that has been previously recognized on cash flow and net investment hedges that are still outstanding and designated as of the date of adoption will be adjusted and removed from beginning retained earnings and placed in accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We continue to assess all the potential impacts of ASU 2017-12; however, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

3. Investment in Real Estate
REIT Acquisition
On August 15, 2017, via a share purchase agreement, we acquired a private real estate investment trust that owns one industrial property consisting of 0.2 million square feet of GLA from a third party seller in exchange for $20,962, exclusive of closing costs and credits (“REIT Acquisition”). As part of the REIT Acquisition, we acquired 100% of the common shares of beneficial interest of this private real estate investment trust.
Acquisitions
The following table summarizes our acquisition of industrial properties from third parties for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015.

Impairment Charge
The impairment charge of $626 recorded during the year ended December 31, 2015 was due to marketing certain industrial properties for sale and our assessment of the likelihood and timing of a potential sale transaction. The fair market values were determined using third party offers. Valuations based on third party offers include bona fide contract prices and letter of intent amounts that we believe are indicative of fair value and fall into Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy.

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net
During the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we paid off mortgage loans in the amount of $36,108 and $59,420, respectively. In connection with the mortgage loans paid off during the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $1,653 and $79 as loss from retirement of debt, respectively, of which the loss related to the year ended December 31, 2016 was included in general and administrative expense.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, we assumed a mortgage loan in the amount of $4,513 in conjunction with the acquisition of one industrial property, totaling approximately 0.1 million square feet of GLA. The mortgage loan bears interest at a fixed rate of 7.35%, principal payments are amortized over 25 years and the loan matures in September 2019. In conjunction with the assumption of the mortgage loan, we recorded a premium in the amount of $529, which will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense through maturity.
As of December 31, 2017, mortgage loans payable are collateralized, and in some instances cross-collateralized, by industrial properties with a net carrying value of $576,580. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans as of December 31, 2017.
Senior Unsecured Notes, Net
During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Operating Partnership issued $125,000 of 4.30% Series A Guaranteed Senior Notes due April 20, 2027 (the "2027 Private Placement Notes") and $75,000 of 4.40% Series B Guaranteed Senior Notes due April 20, 2029 (the "2029 Private Placement Notes" and, together with the 2027 Private Placement Notes, collectively, the "Private Placement Notes") in a private placement pursuant to a Note and Guaranty Agreement dated February 21, 2017. The 2027 Private Placement Notes and the 2029 Private Placement Notes are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and require semi-annual interest payments. The Operating Partnership issued an additional $300,000 of senior unsecured private placement notes in February 2018. See Subsequent Events.
During the year ended December 31, 2017, we paid off and retired our 2017 II and 2017 Notes, at maturity, in the amounts of $101,871 and $54,981, respectively.
Unsecured Term Loans, Net
On January 29, 2014, we entered into a seven-year, $200,000 unsecured loan (the "2014 Unsecured Term Loan") with a syndicate of financial institutions. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we amended the terms of the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan to, among other things, reduce by 50 basis points our interest spread from the prior rate. At December 31, 2017, the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan requires interest only payments and bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 120 basis points. During the year ended December 31, 2017, in connection with the amendment, we recognized $51 as loss from retirement of debt related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to a lender that opted out of its position and whose position was replaced by other lenders.
On September 11, 2015, we entered into a seven-year, $260,000 unsecured loan (the "2015 Unsecured Term Loan"; together with the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan, the "Unsecured Term Loans") with a syndicate of financial institutions. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we amended the terms of the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan to, among other things, reduce by 40 basis points our interest spread from the prior rate. At December 31, 2017, the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan requires interest only payments and bears interest at a variable rate based on LIBOR plus 120 basis points. The interest rates on the Unsecured Term Loans vary based on the Company's leverage ratio or, at our election, the Company's credit ratings.
Unsecured Credit Facility
On October 31, 2017, we amended and restated our $625,000 revolving credit agreement (the "Old Credit Facility") with a new $725,000 revolving credit agreement (as amended and restated, the "Unsecured Credit Facility"). We may request that the borrowing capacity under the Unsecured Credit Facility be increased to $1,000,000, subject to certain restrictions. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures on October 29, 2021, with an option to extend an additional one year at our election, subject to certain restrictions. At December 31, 2017, the Unsecured Credit Facility provides for interest only payments at LIBOR plus 110 basis points. The interest rate on the Unsecured Credit Facility varies based on our leverage ratio. During the year ended December 31, 2017, in connection with the amendment, we recognized $71 as loss from retirement of debt related to the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs related to a lender that opted out of its position and whose position was replaced by other lenders.

The Unsecured Credit Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans, the Private Placement Notes and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain financial covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Under the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loans, an event of default can occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreements. We believe that the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans, the Private Placement Notes and indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2017. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our lenders and noteholders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.

(A) The carrying amounts include unamortized premiums and discounts and exclude unamortized debt issuance costs.
The fair values of our mortgage loans payable were determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made based upon similar remaining maturities. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes were determined by using rates, as advised by our bankers, that are based upon recent trades within the same series of the senior unsecured notes, recent trades for senior unsecured notes with comparable maturities, recent trades for fixed rate unsecured notes from companies with profiles similar to ours, as well as overall economic conditions. The fair value of the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loans was determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term, assuming no repayment until maturity. We have concluded that our determination of fair value for each of our mortgage loans payable, senior unsecured notes, the Unsecured Term Loans and the Unsecured Credit Facility was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs.

6. Stockholders’ Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership
Operating Partnership Units
The Operating Partnership has issued General Partner Units, Limited Partner Units and preferred general partnership Units. The General Partner Units resulted from capital contributions from the Company. The Limited Partner Units are issued in conjunction with the acquisition of certain properties. Subject to certain lock-up periods, holders of Limited Partner Units can redeem their Units by providing written notification to the General Partner. Unless the General Partner provides notice of a redemption restriction to the holder, redemption must be made within seven business days after receipt of the holder’s notice. The redemption can be effectuated, as determined by the General Partner, either by exchanging the Limited Partner Units for shares of common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis, subject to adjustment, or by paying cash equal to the fair market value of such shares. Prior requests for redemption have generally been fulfilled with shares of common stock of the Company, and the Operating Partnership intends to continue this practice. If each Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership were redeemed as of December 31, 2017, the Operating Partnership could satisfy its redemption obligations by making an aggregate cash payment of approximately $126,139 or by issuing 4,008,221 shares of the Company’s common stock. The preferred general partnership Units result from preferred capital contributions from the Company. The Operating Partnership is required to make all required distributions on the preferred general partnership Units prior to any distribution of cash or assets to the holders of the Units. The consent of the holder of the Limited Partner Units is required to alter such holder’s rights as to allocations and distributions, to alter or modify such holder’s rights with respect to redemption, to cause the early termination of the Operating Partnership or to amend the provisions of the partnership agreement which requires such consent.
Preferred Stock or General Partner Preferred Units
The Company has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. As of December 31, 2017 and 2016, there were no preferred shares or general partner preferred Units outstanding.
Shares of Common Stock or Unit Contributions
For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, 31,154, 266,332 and 68,930 Limited Partner Units, respectively, were converted into an equivalent number of shares of common stock of the Company, resulting in a reclassification of $364, $2,862 and $673, respectively, of noncontrolling interest to the Company’s stockholders’ equity.

75


During the year ended December 31, 2017, the Company issued 2,560,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering. Proceeds to the Company, net of the underwriter's discount, were $74,880. During the year ended December 31, 2016, the Company issued 5,600,000 shares of the Company’s common stock in an underwritten public offering. Proceeds to the Company, net of the underwriter's discount, were $124,936. The proceeds were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units and are reflected in the Operating Partnership's financial statements as a general partner contribution.
On March 13, 2014, we entered into distribution agreements with sales agents to sell up to 13,300,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for up to $200,000 aggregate gross sales proceeds, from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings (the "2014 ATM Program"). The distribution agreements entered into with respect to the 2014 ATM Program expired by their terms on March 13, 2017 and, on March 16, 2017, we entered into distribution agreements with sales agents to sell up to 8,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for up to $200,000 aggregate gross sales proceeds, from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings (the "2017 ATM Program"). Under the terms of the 2014 ATM Program and the 2017 ATM Program, sales were or are to be made primarily in transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or by privately negotiated transactions. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company did not issue any shares of common stock under the 2014 ATM Program or the 2017 ATM Program.
The following table is a roll-forward of the Company's shares of common stock outstanding and the Operating Partnership's Units outstanding, including unvested restricted stock or restricted Unit awards (see Note 11), for the three years ended December 31, 2017:

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the derivative or over the life of the debt. In the next 12 months, we expect to amortize approximately $95 into net income by increasing interest expense for interest rate protection agreements we settled in previous periods. Additionally, recurring settlement amounts on the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps (as defined in Note 12) will also be reclassified to net income. See Note 12 for more information about our derivatives.

9. Income Taxes
Our Consolidated Financial Statements include the operations of our TRSs, which are not entitled to the dividends paid deduction and are subject to federal, state and local income taxes on its taxable income. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company qualified as a REIT and incurred no federal income tax expense; accordingly, the only federal income taxes included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements relate to activities of one of our TRSs.
The components of the income tax provision for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015 are comprised of the following:

Deferred income taxes represent the tax effect of the temporary differences between the book and tax basis of assets and liabilities. New 2017 tax reform legislation reduces the corporate tax rate to 21%, effective January 1, 2018. Consequently, our deferred income tax assets and liabilities were re-measured to reflect the reduction in the U.S. corporate income tax rate. As a result, we recorded a decrease related to the net deferred tax assets and a decrease to the associated valuation allowance.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities include the following as of December 31, 2017 and 2016:

A valuation allowance is recorded if we believe it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred income tax assets will not be realized. We do not have projections of future taxable income or other sources of taxable income in the TRSs significant enough to allow us to believe it is more likely than not that we will realize our deferred income tax assets. Therefore, we have recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred income tax assets. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and which causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred income tax assets, is included in the current income tax provision.

The income tax provision pertaining to income from continuing operations of the TRSs differs from the amounts computed by applying the applicable federal statutory rate as follows for the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015:

We evaluate tax positions taken in the financial statements on a quarterly basis under the interpretation for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As a result of this evaluation, we may recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is "more-likely-than-not" that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2017, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits.
We file income tax returns in the U.S. and various states. The statute of limitations for income tax returns is generally three years. As such, our tax returns that are subject to examination would be primarily from 2014 and thereafter.
Federal Income Tax Treatment of Common Dividends
For income tax purposes, dividends paid to the Company's common shareholders are characterized as ordinary income, capital gains or as a return of a shareholder's invested capital. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the dividends per common share were characterized as follows:

The income tax characterization of dividends to common shareholders is based on the calculation of Taxable Earnings and Profits, as defined in the Code. Taxable Earnings and Profits differ from regular taxable income due primarily to differences in the estimated useful lives and methods used to compute depreciation and in the recognition of gains and losses on the sale of real estate assets.

11. Benefit Plans
Stock Based Compensation
The Company maintains a stock incentive plan (the “Stock Incentive Plan”), which is administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. Officers, certain employees and the Company's independent directors generally are eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plan. Awards made under the Stock Incentive Plan can be in the form of restricted stock awards, restricted stock unit awards, performance share awards, dividend equivalent rights, non-statutory stock options and stock appreciation rights. Special provisions apply to awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plan in the event of a change in control in the Company. As of December 31, 2017, awards covering 1.9 million shares of common stock were available to be granted under the Stock Incentive Plan.
Restricted Stock or Restricted Unit Awards
For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company awarded 260,685, 308,373 and 216,975 shares, respectively, of restricted stock awards to certain employees, which had a fair value of $6,871, $6,047 and $4,708 on the date such awards were approved by either the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors or the Company's stockholders of the Stock Incentive Plan, as the case may be. These restricted stock awards were granted based upon the achievement of certain corporate performance goals and generally vest over a period of three years. Additionally, during the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, the Company awarded 15,108, 14,460 and 17,385 shares, respectively, of restricted stock to non-employee members of the Board of Directors, which had a fair value of $420, $350 and $350 on the date of approval. These restricted stock awards vest over a one-year period. The Operating Partnership issued restricted Unit awards to the Company in the same amount for both restricted stock awards.
Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the restricted stock or restricted Unit awards expected to vest except if the recipient is not required to provide future service in exchange for vesting of such restricted stock or restricted Unit awards. If vesting of a recipient's restricted stock or restricted Unit awards is not contingent upon future service, the expense is recognized immediately at the date of grant. During the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we recognized $1,590, $1,710 and $1,352, respectively, of compensation expense related to restricted stock or restricted Unit awards granted to our former Chief Executive Officer for which future service was not required.
LTIP Unit Awards
For the years ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Company granted to certain employees 195,951 and 254,524 Long-Term Incentive Program ("LTIP") performance units ("LTIP Unit Awards"), which had a fair value of $2,473 and $2,561 on the grant date. The LTIP Unit Awards vest based upon the relative total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock compared to the TSRs of the MSCI US REIT Index and the NAREIT Industrial Index over a performance period of three years. Compensation expense is charged to earnings on a straight-line basis over the respective performance periods. At the end of the respective performance periods each participant will be issued shares of the Company's common stock equal to the maximum shares issuable to the participant for the performance period multiplied by a percentage, ranging from 0% to 100%, based on the Company's TSR as compared to the TSRs of the MSCI US REIT Index and the NAREIT Industrial Index. The participant is also entitled to dividend equivalents for shares issued pursuant to vested LTIP Unit Awards. The Operating Partnership issues General Partner Units to the Company in the same amounts for vested LTIP Unit Awards.

The fair values of the LTIP Unit Awards at issuance were determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on Monte Carlo simulations using the following assumptions:

Outstanding Restricted Stock or Restricted Unit Awards and LTIP Unit Awards
For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we recognized $8,611, $7,371 and $7,177, respectively, in amortization related to restricted stock or restricted Unit awards and LTIP Unit Awards. Restricted stock or restricted Unit award and LTIP Unit Award amortization capitalized in connection with development activities was not significant. At December 31, 2017, we had $7,752 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested restricted stock or restricted Unit awards and LTIP Unit Awards. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 0.88 years.

401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan
Under the Company's 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan, all eligible employees may participate by making voluntary contributions and the Company may make, but is not required to make, matching contributions, which are funded by the Operating Partnership. For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, total expense related to matching contributions was $518, $509 and $471, respectively.
12. Derivatives
Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate protection agreements as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate protection agreements designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
In connection with the originations of the Unsecured Term Loans (see Note 4), we entered into interest rate protection agreements to manage our exposure to changes in the one month LIBOR rate. The four interest rate protection agreements, which fix the variable rate of the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan, have an aggregate notional value of $200,000, mature on January 29, 2021 and fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 2.29% (the "2014 Swaps"). The six interest rate protection agreements, which fix the variable rate of the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan, have an aggregate notional value of $260,000, mature on September 12, 2022 and fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.79% (the "2015 Swaps"). We designated the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps as cash flow hedges.

82


During the year ended December 31, 2014, we entered into three interest rate protection agreements, with an aggregate notional value of $220,000, to manage our exposure to changes in the three month LIBOR rate (the "Settled Swaps") related to an anticipated unsecured debt offering. At origination, we designated the Settled Swaps as cash flow hedges but, during the three months ended March 31, 2015, the Settled Swaps were de-designated and the fair market value loss of $12,990 was reclassified to earnings from other comprehensive income since we determined the forecasted offering of unsecured debt was no longer probable to occur within the time period stated in the designation memos. During the year ended December 31, 2015, we made a settlement payment of $11,546 to our derivative counterparties, which is recognized as settlement loss on interest rate protection agreements.
Derivative Instruments Not Designated for Hedge Accounting Treatment
In September 2017, we entered into two interest rate protection agreements (the "Treasury Locks"), with an aggregate notional value of $100,000, in order to fix the interest rate on an anticipated unsecured debt offering. The Treasury Locks fixed the ten year U.S. Treasury rate at a weighted average rate of approximately 2.18%. Due to the strict requirements surrounding the application of hedge accounting, we elected not to designate the Treasury Locks as hedges. As such, the change in the fair value of the Treasury Locks is recorded within the income statement as opposed to being recorded in other comprehensive income. During the year ended December 31, 2017 we settled the Treasury Locks and recognized $1,896 in settlement gain on interest rate protection agreements.
Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if we default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations subject to certain thresholds. As of December 31, 2017, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the provisions of these agreements. If we had breached these agreements, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value.
The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities related to the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets and accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2017:

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps during the year ended December 31, 2017.
The estimated fair value of the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair value to account for potential non-performance risk, including our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’s non-performance risk. We determined that the significant inputs used to value the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
13. Related Party Transactions
At December 31, 2017 and 2016, the Operating Partnership had receivable balances of $10,129 and $10,448, respectively, from a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

14. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of our industrial properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.
Four properties have leases granting the tenants options to purchase the property. Such options are exercisable at various times at appraised fair market value or at a fixed purchase price. None of the tenant purchase options have been exercised.
At December 31, 2017, we had outstanding letters of credit and performance bonds in the aggregate amount of $20,188.
In conjunction with the development of industrial properties, we have entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction of industrial properties. At December 31, 2017, we had 11 industrial properties totaling approximately 4.2 million square feet of GLA under construction. The estimated total investment as of December 31, 2017 is approximately $291,000 (unaudited). Of this amount, approximately $175,800 (unaudited) remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated total investment.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, a fire significantly destroyed one industrial property totaling approximately 0.03 million square feet of GLA located in San Diego, California. In a separate event, on April 3, 2017, a fire caused significant damage to one industrial property totaling approximately 0.08 million square feet of GLA located in Los Angeles, California. During the respective periods in which the fires occurred, we wrote off the unamortized net book value of the building improvements for the damaged portions of the industrial properties and recorded a receivable from our insurance company for the amount of the write off, less our $25 deductible per occurrence. During the year ended December 31, 2017, we collected insurance proceeds in excess of the amounts we wrote off related to unamortized net book value of the building improvements.
Ground and Operating Lease Agreements
For the years ended December 31, 2017, 2016 and 2015, we recognized $1,419, $1,380 and $1,281, respectively, in operating and ground lease expense.
Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable ground and operating leases under which we are the lessee as of December 31, 2017 are as follows: 
2018

15. Subsequent Events
From January 1, 2018 to February 23, 2018, we acquired one industrial property and one land parcel for a purchase price of approximately $15,625, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial property.
During January 2018, the Company restructured its staffing to align its personnel with changes in its portfolio. The severance and other costs associated with the restructuring is approximately $1,000.
During February 2018, the Company renewed a lease on a long term basis for a 1.3 million square feet facility located in Eastern PA, that was set to expire during the three months ended March 31, 2018.
Effective as of January 1, 2018, the Company, as general partner of the Operating Partnership, adopted a First Amendment to the Twelfth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement (the “LPA Amendment”) to amend the Twelfth Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership (the “Existing LPA”) to provide that the General Partner, who had existing authority regarding tax matters decision-making authority as the “Tax Matters Partner” of the Operating Partnership under the Existing LPA, would also be designated as the “Partnership Representative” of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the revised partnership audit rules adopted pursuant to the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015 with respect to taxable years starting January 1, 2018. A conformed copy of the Existing LPA, which incorporates the amendments effectuated pursuant to the LPA Amendment, is attached hereto as Exhibit 3.9 to this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
On February 15, 2018, the Operating Partnership issued $150,000 of 3.86% Series C Guaranteed Senior Notes due February 15, 2028 (the “2028 Private Placement Notes”) and $150,000 of 3.96% Series D Guaranteed Senior Notes due February 15, 2030 (the “2030 Private Placement Notes”) in a private placement pursuant to a Note and Guaranty Agreement dated December 12, 2017. The 2028 Private Placement Notes and the 2030 Private Placement Notes are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and require semi-annual interest payments.
We anticipate paying off $157,782 of mortgage loans payable which were originally scheduled to mature on June 1, 2018 on or about March 1, 2018.
