Unconsolidated Entities

NOTE 4. UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

 

Summary of Investments

 

We have investments in entities through a variety of ventures. We co-invest in entities that own multiple properties with partners and investors and provide asset and property management services to these entities, which we refer to as co-investment ventures. These entities may be consolidated or unconsolidated, depending on the structure, our partner’s participation and other rights and our level of control of the entity. This note details our investments in unconsolidated co-investment ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. See Note 8 for more detail regarding our consolidated investments.

 

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

 

The following table summarizes our investments in and advances to our unconsolidated entities (in thousands):

Unconsolidated Co-Investment Ventures

 

The amounts recognized in Strategic Capital Revenue and Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net depend on the size and operations of the co-investment ventures, the timing of revenues earned through incentive fees during the life of a venture or upon liquidation (“promotes”), as well as fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. Our ownership interest in these ventures also impacts the equity in earnings we recognize. We recognized Strategic Capital Expenses for direct costs associated with the asset management of these ventures and allocated property-level management costs for the properties owed by the ventures. The co-investment venture information below represents the venture’s information (not our proportionate share) prepared on a GAAP basis.

The following tables summarize these unconsolidated co-investment ventures:

The difference between our ownership interest of a venture’s equity and our investment balance, at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015, results principally from three types of transactions: (i) deferring a portion of the gains we recognize from a contribution of a property to a venture ($429.7 million and $430.7 million, respectively); (ii) recording additional costs associated with our investment in a venture ($123.9 million and $122.1 million, respectively); and (iii) advances to a venture ($165.2 million and $189.7 million, respectively). Included in the advances to our ventures at June 30, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were receivables from Nippon Prologis REIT, Inc. (“NPR”) of $109.5 million and $85.2 million, respectively, related to customer security deposits that originated through a leasing company owned by us that pertain to properties owned by NPR. We have a corresponding payable to NPR’s customers in Other Liabilities.

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

In April 2016, we redeemed a portion of our investment in Prologis Targeted European Logistics Fund (“PTELF”) and Prologis Targeted U.S. Logistics Fund (“USLF”) for €185.0 million ($210.6 million) and $200.0 million, respectively, and recorded a gain of $86.6 million, which is included in Gains on the Dispositions of Investments in Real Estate, Net. The amounts received for the redemptions were included in Return of Investment from Unconsolidated Entities. Also in April 2016, PTELF received an additional €120.0 million ($135.0 million) from third-party investors. As a result of these transactions, our ownership percentage in these funds decreased to 27.9% and 17.6% in PTELF and USLF, respectively.

 

In June 2016, we submitted additional redemption requests for €90.0 million ($99.9 million at June 30, 2016) and $100 million in PTELF and USLF, respectively. We expect the requests to close in the second half of 2016 and they will be fulfilled by other investors so our ownership percentage will decrease.

Equity commitments are denominated in euro and reported in U.S. dollars based on an exchange rate of $1.11 U.S. dollars to the euro.

In January 2016, we reached an agreement with our partner in this venture to increase the equity commitments by $882.4 million, of which our share is $132.4 million, to fund future developments in China.

 

During the first quarter of 2016, we satisfied our remaining commitment to Prologis European Logistics Partners with the contribution of $46.9 million for the repayment of third-party debt by the venture.
