EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2022 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 September 30, 2022, the Company owned an approximate 97.7% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 2.3% common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by limited partners. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and recipients of RLP Units (as defined in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan. 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:

•Equity, Noncontrolling Interest and Partners' Capital. The 2.3% equity interest in the Operating Partnership held by persons or entities other than the Company is 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, although operations are also conducted through several 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 several 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 quarterly 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 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 I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 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.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC. AND FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited; 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 97.7% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at September 30, 2022. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through several 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. The Company's noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 2.3% at September 30, 2022 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units"). The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership and/or recipients of RLP Units of the Operating Partnership (see Note 6) pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan.

We also own an equity interest in and provide various services to a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership. The Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of the Joint Venture is not consolidated with that of the Company or the Operating Partnership as presented herein. See Note 5 for more information related to the Joint Venture.

Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs, the Other Real Estate Partnerships, the TRSs and the Joint Venture 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 September 30, 2022, we owned 421 industrial properties located in 18 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 64.8 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 421 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 2021 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Estimates

In order to conform with 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and our cash flows for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform-related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

3. Investment in Real Estate

Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we acquired ten industrial properties comprised of approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA and 11 land parcels. We accounted for the properties and land parcels as asset acquisitions and therefore capitalized transaction costs to the basis of the acquired assets. The following table summarizes the allocation of the aggregate purchase price, excluding transaction costs, to each major asset class for the industrial properties and land parcels acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

Land	$	220,634
Building and Improvements	42,982
In-Place Leases	8,664
Above Market Leases	23
Below Market Leases	(8,260)
Other Assets	2,867
Total Purchase Price	$	266,910

Sales

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold eight industrial buildings comprised of approximately 1.6 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Gross proceeds from the sales was $124,340 and the gain on sale of real estate attributable to these sales was $84,204.

_______________

(A) The interest rate at September 30, 2022 includes the impact of derivative instruments we entered into to effectively convert the variable rate of the debt to a fixed rate. See Note 10.

(B) At our option, we may extend the maturity pursuant to two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions.

(C) Amounts exclude unamortized debt issuance costs of $3,608 and $4,577 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which are included in the line item Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net. At our option, we may extend the maturity pursuant to two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions.

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we paid off mortgage loans in the amount of $67,973.

As of September 30, 2022, mortgage loans payable are collateralized by industrial properties with a net carrying value of $31,985. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans as of September 30, 2022.

20

Unsecured Term Loans

On August 12, 2022, we entered into a three-year unsecured term loan (the "2022 Unsecured Term Loan II"). The 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II provides up to $300,000 of principal, none of which has been borrowed as of September 30, 2022. We may borrow up to the full principal amount by August 11, 2023 and must pay a non-refundable unused fee at a rate of 0.20% per annum on any unused portion of the facility from November 10, 2022 through August 11, 2023. Borrowings under the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II require interest-only payments and bear interest at a variable rate based on daily, one-month or three-month secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR"), plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment for daily and one-month SOFR, plus a 0.15% SOFR adjustment for three-month SOFR, plus 85 basis points based on our current credit ratings and consolidated leverage ratio. The 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II matures in August 2025, unless extended pursuant to two one-year extension options at our election, subject to certain conditions. The interest rate is subject to adjustment based on changes to our leverage ratio and credit ratings and our achievement of a sustainability-linked pricing metric.

On April 18, 2022, we entered into a five-year, $425,000 unsecured term loan (the "2022 Unsecured Term Loan", and together with the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II and the 2021 Unsecured Term Loan, the "Unsecured Term Loans"), which replaced our 2015 Unsecured Term Loan that was set to mature in September 2022. At September 30, 2022, the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan requires interest-only payments and bears interest at a variable rate based on the one-month SOFR, plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment, plus 85 basis points. The 2022 Unsecured Term Loan matures in October 2027. The interest rate is subject to adjustment based on changes to our leverage ratio and credit ratings and our achievement of a sustainability-linked pricing metric. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we entered into interest rate swaps with a notional value of $425,000 that lock the SOFR rate at 2.69% from October 3, 2022 to September 30, 2027. See Note 10 for additional information.

Indebtedness

The following is a schedule of the stated maturities and scheduled principal payments of our indebtedness, exclusive of discounts and debt issuance costs, for the next five years as of September 30, and thereafter: 

	Amount
Remainder of 2022	$	77
2023	321
2024	335
2025	357,349
2026	200,364
Thereafter	1,432,502
Total	$	1,990,948

Our unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), our Unsecured Term Loans, our senior notes issued in private placements ("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 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 the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2022; 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.

21

Fair Value

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of our indebtedness was as follows: 

	September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Carrying Amount (A)		Fair Value		Carrying Amount (A)		Fair Value
Mortgage Loans Payable	$	10,377	$	10,100	$	79,764	$	81,700
Senior Unsecured Notes, Net	998,517		876,249		998,512		1,070,067
Unsecured Term Loans	625,000		625,000		460,000		460,486
Unsecured Credit Facility	357,000		357,000		79,000		79,000
Total	$	1,990,894	$	1,868,349	$	1,617,276	$	1,691,253

_______________

(A) The carrying amounts include unamortized 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 and the Unsecured Term Loans was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs.

5. Variable Interest Entities

Other Real Estate Partnerships

The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities ("VIEs") of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary, thus causing the Other Real Estate Partnerships to be consolidated by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Operating Partnership is a VIE of the Company and the Company is the primary beneficiary.

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of the Other Real Estate Partnerships included in our consolidated balance sheets, net of intercompany amounts:

	September 30, 2022		December 31, 2021

Total Liabilities and Partners' Capital	$	348,041	$	320,661

Joint Ventures

Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own a 43% interest in the Joint Venture. Since we own our interest in the Joint Venture through a partnership with a third party and we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the partnership, we consolidate the partnership and reflect our partner's 6% interest in the Joint Venture within the financial statements. Additionally, we owned a 49% interest in a joint venture that sold its remaining acres of land and ceased operations during the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Former Joint Venture" together with the Joint Venture, the "Joint Ventures"). The Joint Ventures were formed for the purpose of developing, leasing, operating and selling land located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area.

Under the operating agreements for the Joint Venture, we act as the managing member and are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, development, construction supervision, disposition and asset management services. In addition, the Joint Venture's operating agreement provides us the ability to earn incentive fees based on the ultimate financial performance of the Joint Venture.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we earned fees of $699 and $341, respectively, from the Joint Ventures, related to asset management and development services, of which we deferred recognition of $187 and $51, respectively, due to our economic interest in the Joint Ventures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred fees of $318 related to third-party development management services associated with the Joint Venture. At September 30, 2022, we had an aggregate receivable from the Joint Venture of $649.

We account for our interests in the Joint Ventures using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model. Under this method, we record our Equity in Income (Loss) of Joint Ventures based on our proportionate share of the Joint Venture's earnings based on our ownership interest, after giving effect to incentive fees in which we are entitled to receive.

We classify distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. In general, distributions received are considered returns on the investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If, however, the investor’s cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods determined to be returns of investment, exceeds cumulative equity in earnings recognized, the excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

Net income of the Joint Ventures for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $176,169 and $14,873, respectively. Included in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is gain on sale of real estate of $176,281 related to the sale of 391 acres of land for which our economic share of the gain on sale was $86,378. Included in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is gain on sale of real estate of $15,160 related to the sale of 138 net acres of land from the Former Joint Venture for which our economic share of the gain on sale was $7,142. However, since the Company was the purchaser of the 138 net acres, we netted our portion of the gain on sale against the basis of the land acquired.

The Joint Venture has three buildings under development comprising an aggregate 1.8 million square feet (the "Project") at September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in connection with the Project, the Joint Venture entered into a construction loan with a capacity of $149,500 with a third party lender (the "Joint Venture Loan"). As of September 30, 2022, there have been no borrowings from the Joint Venture Loan. With respect to the Joint Venture Loan, we provided a completion guarantee to the lender and our third-party joint venture partner that requires the Company to timely complete construction of the Project. Total estimated investment for the Project is approximately $210,322 and the Joint Venture is using a third-party contractor to develop the buildings pursuant to a guaranteed maximum price contract. We also provided a guarantee to the lender related to typical non-recourse exceptions and an environmental indemnity. It is not possible to estimate the amount of additional costs, if any, that we may incur in connection with our completion guarantees to the third party lender and/or our joint venture partner as well as the non-recourse exception and environmental indemnity guarantees; however, we do not expect that we will be required to make any significant payments in satisfaction of these guarantees.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we earned incentive fees of $32,276 from the Joint Venture, which are reflected in the Equity In Income of Joint Ventures line item in the consolidated statement of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we earned incentive fees of $3,024 from the Former Joint Venture, which were netted against the basis of the real estate acquired from the Former Joint Venture.

6. Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling Interest of the Company

The equity positions of various individuals and entities that contributed their properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Limited Partner Units, as well as the equity positions of the holders of Limited Partner Units issued in connection with the grant of restricted limited partner Units ("RLP Units") pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan, are collectively referred to as the “Noncontrolling Interests.” An RLP Unit is a class of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership that is structured as a “profits interest” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is an award that is granted under our stock incentive plan (see Note 9). Generally, RLP Units entitle the holder to receive distributions from the Operating Partnership that are equivalent to the dividends and distributions that would be made with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such RLP Units, though receipt of such distributions may be delayed or made contingent on vesting. Once an RLP Unit has vested and received allocations of book income sufficient to increase the book capital account balance associated with such RLP Unit (which will initially be zero) equal to, on a per-unit basis, the book capital account balance associated with a "common" Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership, it automatically becomes a common Limited Partner Unit that is convertible by the holder to one share of Common Stock or a cash equivalent, at the Company's option. Net income is allocated to the Noncontrolling Interests based on the weighted average ownership percentage during the period.

Noncontrolling Interest - Joint Venture

Our ownership interest in the Joint Venture is held through a partnership with a third party. We concluded that we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the partnership. As a result, we consolidate the partnership and reflect the third party's interest in the partnership that invests in the Joint Venture as a Noncontrolling Interest. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, our partner's share of the partnership's income was $63 and $14,294, respectively, and was reflected in the Equity in Income of Joint Ventures and the Noncontrolling Interests line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Noncontrolling Interests line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets includes $14,310 that is our third party partner's interest at September 30, 2022.

ATM Program

On February 14, 2020, we entered into three-year distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell up to 14,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for up to $500,000 aggregate gross sales proceeds, from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings (the "ATM"). Under the terms of the ATM, sales are to be made through transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange, sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or sales made through privately negotiated transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we issued 218,230 shares of the Company's common stock under the ATM, which resulted in $12,823 of net proceeds and payment of compensation to certain sales agents of $130.

7. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The following table summarizes the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income by component for the Company and the Operating Partnership for the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

	Derivative Instruments		Accumulated Other Comprehensive Gain (Loss) of the Operating Partnership		Comprehensive Gain (Loss) Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest of the Company		Accumulated Other Comprehensive Gain (Loss) of the Company
Balance as of December 31, 2021	$	(4,331)	$	(4,331)	$	93	$	(4,238)
Other Comprehensive Gain Before Reclassifications	39,785		39,785		(937)		38,848
Amounts Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss	1,780		1,780		—		1,780
Net Current Period Other Comprehensive Gain	41,565		41,565		(937)		40,628
Balance as of September 30, 2022	$	37,234	$	37,234	$	(844)	$	36,390

The following table summarizes the reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for both the Company and the Operating Partnership for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021:

	Amounts Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (Income)
Details about Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Components	Three Months Ended September 30, 2022		Three Months Ended September 30, 2021		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022		Nine Months Ended September 30, 2021		Affected Line Items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations
Derivative Instruments:
Amortization of Previously Settled Derivative Instruments	$	103	$	103	$	308	$	308	Interest Expense
Net Settlement (Receipts) Payments to our Counterparties	(801)		1,583		1,472		4,832		Interest Expense
Total	$	(698)	$	1,686	$	1,780	$	5,140

The changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income 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 $410 into net income by increasing interest expense for derivative instruments we settled in previous periods. Additionally, recurring settlement amounts on the 2015 Swaps, the 2021 Swaps and the 2022 Swaps (all defined in Note 10) will also be reclassified to net income.

9. Long-Term Compensation

Awards with Performance Measures

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 35,867 performance units ("Performance Units") and 208,454 RLP Units ("Performance RLP Units" and, together with the Performance Units, collectively the "Performance Awards") were granted to certain employees based on performance-based criteria, which had a fair value of approximately $7,266 on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. A portion of each Performance Award vests based upon the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock compared to the TSR of the FTSE Nareit All Equity Index and the remainder vests based upon the TSR of the Company’s common stock compared to a specified group of peer industrial real estate companies. The performance period for these Performance Awards is three years. Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the applicable vesting period for the Performance Awards. At the end of the measuring period, vested Performance Units convert into shares of common stock.

Service Based Awards

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 78,482 shares of restricted stock units ("Service Units") and 57,907 RLP Units ("Service RLP Units" and together with the Service Units, collectively the "Service Awards") were granted to certain employees and outside directors based on service-based criteria, which had an aggregate fair value of approximately $8,032 on the grant date. The Service Awards granted to employees generally either vest ratably over three years or cliff vest after three years based on continued employment. Service awards granted to outside directors vest after one year. Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the Service Awards. At the end of the service period, vested Service Units convert into shares of common stock.

Retirement Eligibility

All award agreements issued underlying Performance Awards and Service Awards contain a retirement benefit for employees with at least 10 years of continuous service and are at least 60 years old. For employees that meet the age and service eligibility requirements, their awards are non-forfeitable. As such, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we expensed 100% of the awards granted to retirement-eligible employees at the grant date as if fully vested. For employees who will meet the age and service eligibility requirements during the normal vesting periods, the grants are amortized over the shorter service period.

Outstanding Performance Awards and Service Awards

We recognized $3,584 and $3,508 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $12,578 and $10,572 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in compensation expense related to the amortization of the Service Awards and the Performance Awards. Service Award and Performance Award amortization capitalized in connection with development activities was $887 and $549 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $3,214 and $1,759 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At September 30, 2022, we had $13,765 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested Service Awards and Performance Awards. The weighted average period over which the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 0.98 years.

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 these objectives, we primarily use derivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Derivative instruments 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.

We have interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in the one-month LIBOR rate related to our Unsecured Term Loans. We have three interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200,000, that fix the one-month LIBOR rate at 0.99% and mature on February 2, 2026 (the "2021 Swaps"). We also had six interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $260,000, that fixed the one-month LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.79% and matured on September 12, 2022 (the "2015 Swaps").

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we entered into eight interest rate swaps (the "2022 Swaps") with an aggregate notional value of $425,000 to manage our exposure to changes in the one-month SOFR rate related to our 2022 Unsecured Term Loan. The 2022 Swaps, which are effective commencing October 3, 2022, fix the one-month daily SOFR rate at 2.69% and mature on September 30, 2027. We have designated the 2022 Swaps as cash flow hedges.

Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain certain cross-default provisions that may be triggered in the event that our other indebtedness is in default, subject to certain thresholds. As of September 30, 2022, 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 related to the 2015 Swaps, the 2021 Swaps and the 2022 Swaps, which are included in the line items Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net or Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

			Fair Value Measurements:

Assets:
2021 Swaps	$	19,137	—	$	19,137	—
2022 Swaps	$	20,793	—	$	20,793	—

Liabilities:
2015 Swaps	$	(2,668)	—	$	(2,668)	—

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the 2015 Swaps, the 2021 Swaps or the 2022 Swaps during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 7 for more information regarding our derivatives.

The estimated fair value of the 2015 Swaps, the 2021 Swaps and the 2022 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 2015 Swaps, the 2021 Swaps and the 2022 Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

11. Related Party Transactions

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Operating Partnership had receivable balances of $9,297 and $9,239, respectively, from a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Additionally, see Note 5 for transactions with our joint ventures.

12. 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.

In conjunction with the development of industrial properties, we have entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction of industrial properties. At September 30, 2022, we had 18 development projects totaling approximately 3.7 million square feet of GLA under construction. The estimated total investment as of September 30, 2022 is approximately $571,100. Of this amount, approximately $259,400 remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated total investment.

13. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to September 30, 2022, we acquired one industrial property and one land parcel for an aggregate purchase price of $26,466, excluding transaction costs.

General

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"). As of September 30, 2022, we owned 421 industrial properties located in 18 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 64.8 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 421 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.

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 97.7% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at September 30, 2022. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through several 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. The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 2.3% at September 30, 2022 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units"). 

We also own an equity interest in and provide various services to a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership. The Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of the Joint Venture is not consolidated with that of the Operating Partnership or the Company as presented herein.

Management's Overview

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 by increasing our cash flow and property values. 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) contractual rent escalations on our long-term leases; (iii) increasing occupancy levels at properties where vacancies exist and maintaining occupancy elsewhere; (iv) controlling and minimizing property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and releasing costs; and (v) renovating existing properties.

•External Growth. We seek to grow externally through (i) the development of best-in-class industrial properties within our 15 target markets; (ii) the acquisition of portfolios of industrial properties or individual properties that meet our investment parameters within our 15 target markets; (iii) the expansion of our properties; and (iv) possible additional 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. We seek and pursue new investments in 15 target markets where land is more scarce and which exhibit desirable long-term growth characteristics. We seek to refine our portfolio over the coming years by focusing on bulk and regional warehouses properties and downsizing our percentage of light industrial buildings.

Our ability to pursue our long-term growth plans is affected by market conditions and our financial condition and operating capabilities.

Business Strategies

We utilize the following strategies in connection with the operation of our business:

•Organizational Strategy. We implement a 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 15 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) favorable economic and business environments that should benefit from increases in distribution activity driven by growth in global trade and local consumption; (iii) population growth as it generally drives industrial demand; (iv) natural barriers to entry and scarcity of land, which are key elements in delivering future rent growth; and (v) 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 while minimizing re-leasing costs 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 investment strategy is primarily focused on developing and acquiring industrial properties in 15 target markets with a coastal orientation in the United States through the deployment of experienced regional management teams. When evaluating potential industrial property acquisitions and developments, we consider such factors as: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the location, construction quality, functionality, 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

32

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.

•Disposition Strategy. We continually evaluate local market conditions and property-related factors in all of our markets for purposes of identifying assets suitable for disposition. We look to sell lower rent growth assets and redeploy the capital into higher rent growth assets in key logistics markets.

•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 $750 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities. We also continually evaluate joint venture arrangements as another source of capital to finance acquisitions and developments.

Summary of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2022

Our operating results remained strong during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Our quarter end in-service occupancy was 98.3% and for leases that commenced during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we increased cash rental rates by 22.8% on new and renewal leasing (30.9% during the third quarter). At September 30, 2022, we had 18 projects comprising 3.7 million square feet of GLA under development with an estimated investment in excess of $570 million. Additionally, we continue to position ourselves for future development activity by acquiring land located in our target markets.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we completed the following significant real estate activities:

•We acquired ten industrial properties comprised of approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA located in our Northern California, Seattle, South Florida and Southern California markets for an aggregate purchase price of $122.0 million, excluding transaction costs. We additionally acquired three income-producing land parcels in our Northern California, Seattle and Southern California markets for an aggregate purchase price of $56.5 million, excluding transaction costs.

•We acquired approximately 60.7 acres of land for development located in our Northern California, South Florida and Southern California markets, for an aggregate purchase price of $88.4 million, excluding transaction costs.

•We commenced speculative development of ten industrial buildings totaling 2.3 million square feet of GLA in our Central Pennsylvania, Chicago, Denver, Lehigh Valley, Northern California, South Florida and Southern California markets.

•We sold eight industrial properties comprising approximately 1.6 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel for gross proceeds of $124.3 million.

•Our Joint Venture sold 391 acres of land located in Phoenix for gross proceeds of $255 million. Our pro-rata share of gain was $76.0 million and we earned an incentive fee of $28.4 million. These amounts exclude our partner's 6% share that we consolidate and report in our financial statements as Noncontrolling Interest.

Our significant financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were:

•We paid off $68.0 million in mortgage loans payable, bringing the percentage of our real estate that is unencumbered to 99.3% at September 30, 2022.

•We replaced our $260.0 million term loan that was scheduled to mature in September 2022 with a $425.0 million term loan that matures on October 18, 2027. Based on our current credit ratings and leverage and the related interest rate hedges with a notional value of $425.0 million that we entered into and commence in October 2022, our all-in interest rate on this term loan is 3.64% commencing in October 2022.

•In August, we entered into a new three-year term loan that provides us with a borrowing capacity up to $300.0 million ("2022 Unsecured Term Loan II"), none of which has been borrowed as of September 30, 2022. Borrowings under the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II requires interest-only payments and bears interest at a variable rate based on daily, one-month or three-month secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR"), plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment for daily and one-month SOFR or plus a 0.15% SOFR adjustment for three-month SOFR, plus 85 basis points based on our current credit ratings and consolidated leverage ratio. The 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II matures in August 2025, unless extended pursuant to two one-year extension options at our election, subject to certain conditions.

•We issued 218,230 shares of our common stock, through “at-the-market” (“ATM”) offerings, resulting in net proceeds of $12.8 million.

•We declared first, second and third quarter cash dividends of $0.295 per common share or Unit per quarter, an increase of 9.3% from the 2021 quarterly rate.

•At September 30, 2022, we had $387.6 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility, $300.0 million available under the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II and cash and cash equivalents of $134.1 million, after excluding our Joint Venture partner's 6% share of cash and cash equivalents that we consolidate and report in our financial statements.

Results of Operations

The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2021 and held as an in-service property through September 30, 2022 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2021. Properties that are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service, unless we anticipate tenant move-outs within two years of ownership would drop occupancy below 75%. Properties that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition are placed in service as they reach the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year subsequent to acquisition. Developments, redevelopments and acquired income-producing land parcels for which our ultimate intent is to redevelop or develop on the land parcel are placed in service as they reach the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year subsequent to development/redevelopment construction completion. Acquired properties with occupancy greater than 75% at acquisition, but with tenants that we anticipate will move out within two years 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, 2020 and held as an operating property through September 30, 2022. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2020. Developments and redevelopments (collectively referred to as "(Re)Developments") include (re)developments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2021; or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2021. 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.

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.

Depreciation and other amortization from same store properties increased $2.8 million primarily due to improvements completed at our properties subsequent to September 30, 2021. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased $2.1 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2020. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $1.4 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2020. Depreciation and other amortization from (re)developments increased $6.2 million primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization related to completed developments. Depreciation from corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment and other increased $1.5 million due to depreciation and amortization related to properties acquired that were not yet stabilized at December 31, 2020 and therefore are not yet included in the same store pool.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we recognized $84.2 million of gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of eight industrial properties comprised of approximately 1.6 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we recognized $66.4 million of gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of 12 industrial properties and seven industrial condominium units comprised of approximately 1.7 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel.

Interest expense decreased by $1.3 million, or 3.7%, due to an increase in capitalized interest of $4.4 million caused by an increase in development projects eligible for capitalization and capitalization of interest related to our joint venture investment during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 (3.26%) as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 (3.52%), offset by an increase in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 ($1,871.7 million) as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2021 ($1,615.5 million).

Amortization of debt issuance costs decreased $0.4 million, or 14.2%, primarily due to amortization of debt issuance costs incurred in 2020 related to the one-year refinancing of the $200.0 million unsecured term loan during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 as compared to September 30, 2022.

Equity in income of joint ventures of $118.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 includes our pro-rata share of gain from the sale of real estate by the Joint Venture of $86.4 million as well as an incentive fee of $32.3 million we earned from the Joint Venture. These amounts include our partner's 6% interest in the Joint Venture that we consolidate and report within our financial statements. Equity in loss of joint ventures for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 was not significant.

Income tax expense increased $22.2 million due to an increase in our pro-rata share of gain from the sale of land and an incentive fee earned from the Joint Venture. Our equity ownership in the Joint Venture is owned through a wholly-owned TRS.

(A)    Net rent is the average base rent calculated in accordance with GAAP, over the term of the lease.

(B)    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.

(C)    The lease term is expressed in years. Assumes no exercise of lease renewal options, if any.

(D)    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 that commenced during the period and do not reflect actual expenditures for the period.

(E)    Represents the weighted average square feet of tenants renewing their respective leases.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At September 30, 2022, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash was approximately $138.6 million, after excluding our Joint Venture partner's 6% share of cash and cash equivalents that we consolidate and report in our financial statements, and we also had $687.6 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and our 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II as of September 30, 2022.

We have considered our short-term (through September 30, 2023) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. 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 other debt or equity securities, subject to market conditions, or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II.

We expect to meet long-term (after September 30, 2023) 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 securities, subject to market conditions.

Our Unsecured Credit Facility and 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II contain 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 September 30, 2022, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants for the next twelve months.

As of October 21, 2022, we had approximately $622.6 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and our 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II.

Our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch Ratings of BBB/Stable, Baa2/Stable and BBB/Stable, respectively. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2022, compared to the prior year comparable period are described as follows:

Operating Activities: Cash provided by operating activities increased $149.6 million (increased $149.5 million for the Operating Partnership), primarily due to the following:

•increase in distributions from our Joint Ventures of $118.0 million in 2022 as compared to 2021 due to a Joint Ventures sale of 391 acres of land for gross proceeds of $255 million, of which our pro-rata share of gain and incentive fee, excluding our Joint Venture partner's 6% share, was $104.4 million;

•increase in NOI from same store properties, acquired properties and recently developed properties of $38.4 million offset by a decrease in NOI due to the disposition of real estate of $7.9 million;

•increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, other liabilities, rents received in advance and security deposits due to timing of cash payments; and

•decrease of $1.3 million in interest expense.

Investing Activities: Cash used in investing activities increased $219.9 million, primarily due to the following:

•increase of $233.6 million related to the acquisition and development of real estate as well as payments for improvements and leasing commissions in 2022 as compared to 2021; offset by:

◦increase of $7.9 million in net proceeds received from the disposition of real estate in 2022 as compared to 2021; and

◦increase in net proceeds of $6.5 million resulting from distributions from and contributions to our Joint Ventures in 2022 as compared to 2021.

Financing Activities: Cash provided by financing activities increased $302.0 million (increased $302.1 million for the Operating Partnership), primarily due to the following:

•increase in net borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility of $204.0 million in 2022 as compared to 2021; and

•increase of $165.0 million in proceeds from refinancing the $260.0 million unsecured term loan with a $425.0 million unsecured term loan in 2022; offset by:

◦decrease of $46.2 million related to net proceeds from the issuance of 218,230 shares of the Company's common stock under our ATM in 2022 as compared to the issuance of 1,076,955 shares of the Company's common stock under our ATM in 2021;

◦increase in dividend and unit distributions of $11.7 million due to the Company increasing the dividend rate in 2022 as well as an increase in common shares and units outstanding;

◦increase in repayments of mortgage loans payable of $8.3 million in 2022 as compared to 2021; and

◦increase in distributions to noncontrolling interests of $4.4 million in 2022 as compared to 2021.

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 that are held by us at September 30, 2022 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.

The Financial Conduct Authority announced it intended to stop compelling banks to submit rates for the calculation of LIBOR after June 30, 2023. As a result, in the U.S., the Federal Reserve Board and the Federal Reserve Bank of New York identified the SOFR as its preferred alternative rate for USD LIBOR in debt and derivative financial instruments. As of September 30, 2022, our Unsecured Credit Facility, our 2021 Unsecured Term Loan and related interest rate swaps (the "2021 Swaps") are indexed to LIBOR. Our loan documents contain provisions that contemplate alternative methods to determine the base rate applicable to our LIBOR-indexed debt to the extent LIBOR-indexed rates are not available. We plan to modify the debt agreements and the 2021 Swaps prior to June 2023 and do not anticipate the modifications will have a material impact on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

At September 30, 2022, $1,208.9 million or 60.7% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. As of the same date, $782.0 million or 39.3% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was variable rate debt. At December 31, 2021, $1,538.3 million or 95.1% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. As of the same date, $79.0 million or 4.9% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was variable rate debt. At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fixed rate debt amounts include variable rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of derivative instruments with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $200.0 million and $460.0 million, respectively, that mitigate our exposure to our Unsecured Term Loans' variable interest rates, which are based on LIBOR and SOFR. Commencing October 3, 2022, interest rate swaps with a notional value of $425.0 million fix the one-month SOFR rate at 2.69% and mature on September 30, 2027.

The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage the risks increases in interest rates would have on our earnings and cash flows. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

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. If the LIBOR and SOFR rates relevant to our variable rate debt were to have increased 10%, we estimate that our interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 would have increased by approximately $0.5 million based on our average outstanding floating-rate debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. Additionally, if weighted average interest rates on our weighted average fixed rate debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 were to have increased by 10% due to refinancing, interest expense would have increased by approximately $3.9 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2022.

As of September 30, 2022, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately $1,868.3 million based on our estimate of the then-current market interest rates.

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 2022 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 may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In accordance with the restated NAREIT definition of FFO, we calculate FFO to be equal to net income available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stockholders and participating securities, plus depreciation and other amortization of real estate, plus impairment of real estate, minus gain or plus loss on sale of real estate, net of any income tax provision or benefit associated with the sale of real estate. We also exclude the same adjustments from our share of net income from unconsolidated joint ventures.

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 real estate assets, impairment of real estate assets and real estate asset depreciation and amortization, 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

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, interest expense, income tax benefit and expense, and equity in income or loss from our joint ventures. 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, above and below market rent amortization and lease termination fees. We exclude straight-line rent and above (below) market rent in calculating SS NOI because we believe it provides a better measure of actual cash basis rental growth for a year-over-year comparison. 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 three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021.

Organization

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 97.7% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at September 30, 2022. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through several 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. The Company's noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 2.3% at September 30, 2022 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units"). The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership and/or recipients of RLP Units of the Operating Partnership (see Note 6) pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan.

We also own an equity interest in and provide various services to a joint venture (the "Joint Venture") through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership. The Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of the Joint Venture is not consolidated with that of the Company or the Operating Partnership as presented herein. See Note 5 for more information related to the Joint Venture.

Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs, the Other Real Estate Partnerships, the TRSs and the Joint Venture 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 September 30, 2022, we owned 421 industrial properties located in 18 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 64.8 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 421 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 2021 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Estimates

In order to conform with 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and our cash flows for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform-related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

Reclassifications

Certain reclassifications have been made to the consolidated statement of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 to conform to the 2022 presentation.

Acquisitions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we acquired ten industrial properties comprised of approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA and 11 land parcels. We accounted for the properties and land parcels as asset acquisitions and therefore capitalized transaction costs to the basis of the acquired assets. The following table summarizes the allocation of the aggregate purchase price, excluding transaction costs, to each major asset class for the industrial properties and land parcels acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2022:

Land	$	220,634
Building and Improvements	42,982
In-Place Leases	8,664
Above Market Leases	23
Below Market Leases	(8,260)
Other Assets	2,867
Total Purchase Price	$	266,910

Sales

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we sold eight industrial buildings comprised of approximately 1.6 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Gross proceeds from the sales was $124,340 and the gain on sale of real estate attributable to these sales was $84,204.

_______________

(A) The interest rate at September 30, 2022 includes the impact of derivative instruments we entered into to effectively convert the variable rate of the debt to a fixed rate. See Note 10.

(B) At our option, we may extend the maturity pursuant to two one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions.

(C) Amounts exclude unamortized debt issuance costs of $3,608 and $4,577 as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, respectively, which are included in the line item Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net. At our option, we may extend the maturity pursuant to two six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions.

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we paid off mortgage loans in the amount of $67,973.

As of September 30, 2022, mortgage loans payable are collateralized by industrial properties with a net carrying value of $31,985. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans as of September 30, 2022.

Unsecured Term Loans

On August 12, 2022, we entered into a three-year unsecured term loan (the "2022 Unsecured Term Loan II"). The 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II provides up to $300,000 of principal, none of which has been borrowed as of September 30, 2022. We may borrow up to the full principal amount by August 11, 2023 and must pay a non-refundable unused fee at a rate of 0.20% per annum on any unused portion of the facility from November 10, 2022 through August 11, 2023. Borrowings under the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II require interest-only payments and bear interest at a variable rate based on daily, one-month or three-month secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR"), plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment for daily and one-month SOFR, plus a 0.15% SOFR adjustment for three-month SOFR, plus 85 basis points based on our current credit ratings and consolidated leverage ratio. The 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II matures in August 2025, unless extended pursuant to two one-year extension options at our election, subject to certain conditions. The interest rate is subject to adjustment based on changes to our leverage ratio and credit ratings and our achievement of a sustainability-linked pricing metric.

On April 18, 2022, we entered into a five-year, $425,000 unsecured term loan (the "2022 Unsecured Term Loan", and together with the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan II and the 2021 Unsecured Term Loan, the "Unsecured Term Loans"), which replaced our 2015 Unsecured Term Loan that was set to mature in September 2022. At September 30, 2022, the 2022 Unsecured Term Loan requires interest-only payments and bears interest at a variable rate based on the one-month SOFR, plus a 0.10% SOFR adjustment, plus 85 basis points. The 2022 Unsecured Term Loan matures in October 2027. The interest rate is subject to adjustment based on changes to our leverage ratio and credit ratings and our achievement of a sustainability-linked pricing metric. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 we entered into interest rate swaps with a notional value of $425,000 that lock the SOFR rate at 2.69% from October 3, 2022 to September 30, 2027. See Note 10 for additional information.

Indebtedness

The following is a schedule of the stated maturities and scheduled principal payments of our indebtedness, exclusive of discounts and debt issuance costs, for the next five years as of September 30, and thereafter: 

	Amount
Remainder of 2022	$	77
2023	321
2024	335
2025	357,349
2026	200,364
Thereafter	1,432,502
Total	$	1,990,948

Our unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), our Unsecured Term Loans, our senior notes issued in private placements ("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 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 the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2022; 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.

Fair Value

At September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the fair value of our indebtedness was as follows: 

	September 30, 2022				December 31, 2021
	Carrying Amount (A)		Fair Value		Carrying Amount (A)		Fair Value
Mortgage Loans Payable	$	10,377	$	10,100	$	79,764	$	81,700
Senior Unsecured Notes, Net	998,517		876,249		998,512		1,070,067
Unsecured Term Loans	625,000		625,000		460,000		460,486
Unsecured Credit Facility	357,000		357,000		79,000		79,000
Total	$	1,990,894	$	1,868,349	$	1,617,276	$	1,691,253

_______________

(A) The carrying amounts include unamortized 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 and the Unsecured Term Loans was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs.

Other Real Estate Partnerships

The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities ("VIEs") of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary, thus causing the Other Real Estate Partnerships to be consolidated by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Operating Partnership is a VIE of the Company and the Company is the primary beneficiary.

Total Liabilities and Partners' Capital	$	348,041	$	320,661

Joint Ventures

Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own a 43% interest in the Joint Venture. Since we own our interest in the Joint Venture through a partnership with a third party and we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the partnership, we consolidate the partnership and reflect our partner's 6% interest in the Joint Venture within the financial statements. Additionally, we owned a 49% interest in a joint venture that sold its remaining acres of land and ceased operations during the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "Former Joint Venture" together with the Joint Venture, the "Joint Ventures"). The Joint Ventures were formed for the purpose of developing, leasing, operating and selling land located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area.

Under the operating agreements for the Joint Venture, we act as the managing member and are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, development, construction supervision, disposition and asset management services. In addition, the Joint Venture's operating agreement provides us the ability to earn incentive fees based on the ultimate financial performance of the Joint Venture.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, we earned fees of $699 and $341, respectively, from the Joint Ventures, related to asset management and development services, of which we deferred recognition of $187 and $51, respectively, due to our economic interest in the Joint Ventures. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we incurred fees of $318 related to third-party development management services associated with the Joint Venture. At September 30, 2022, we had an aggregate receivable from the Joint Venture of $649.

We account for our interests in the Joint Ventures using the hypothetical liquidation at book value model. Under this method, we record our Equity in Income (Loss) of Joint Ventures based on our proportionate share of the Joint Venture's earnings based on our ownership interest, after giving effect to incentive fees in which we are entitled to receive.

We classify distributions received from equity method investments using the cumulative earnings approach. In general, distributions received are considered returns on the investment and classified as cash inflows from operating activities. If, however, the investor’s cumulative distributions received, less distributions received in prior periods determined to be returns of investment, exceeds cumulative equity in earnings recognized, the excess is considered a return of investment and is classified as cash inflows from investing activities.

Net income of the Joint Ventures for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021 was $176,169 and $14,873, respectively. Included in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is gain on sale of real estate of $176,281 related to the sale of 391 acres of land for which our economic share of the gain on sale was $86,378. Included in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2021 is gain on sale of real estate of $15,160 related to the sale of 138 net acres of land from the Former Joint Venture for which our economic share of the gain on sale was $7,142. However, since the Company was the purchaser of the 138 net acres, we netted our portion of the gain on sale against the basis of the land acquired.

The Joint Venture has three buildings under development comprising an aggregate 1.8 million square feet (the "Project") at September 30, 2022. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, in connection with the Project, the Joint Venture entered into a construction loan with a capacity of $149,500 with a third party lender (the "Joint Venture Loan"). As of September 30, 2022, there have been no borrowings from the Joint Venture Loan. With respect to the Joint Venture Loan, we provided a completion guarantee to the lender and our third-party joint venture partner that requires the Company to timely complete construction of the Project. Total estimated investment for the Project is approximately $210,322 and the Joint Venture is using a third-party contractor to develop the buildings pursuant to a guaranteed maximum price contract. We also provided a guarantee to the lender related to typical non-recourse exceptions and an environmental indemnity. It is not possible to estimate the amount of additional costs, if any, that we may incur in connection with our completion guarantees to the third party lender and/or our joint venture partner as well as the non-recourse exception and environmental indemnity guarantees; however, we do not expect that we will be required to make any significant payments in satisfaction of these guarantees.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we earned incentive fees of $32,276 from the Joint Venture, which are reflected in the Equity In Income of Joint Ventures line item in the consolidated statement of operations. For the nine months ended September 30, 2021, we earned incentive fees of $3,024 from the Former Joint Venture, which were netted against the basis of the real estate acquired from the Former Joint Venture.

Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership

9 Months Ended

Sep. 30, 2022

Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]

Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership

Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling Interest of the Company

The equity positions of various individuals and entities that contributed their properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Limited Partner Units, as well as the equity positions of the holders of Limited Partner Units issued in connection with the grant of restricted limited partner Units ("RLP Units") pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan, are collectively referred to as the “Noncontrolling Interests.” An RLP Unit is a class of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership that is structured as a “profits interest” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is an award that is granted under our stock incentive plan (see Note 9). Generally, RLP Units entitle the holder to receive distributions from the Operating Partnership that are equivalent to the dividends and distributions that would be made with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such RLP Units, though receipt of such distributions may be delayed or made contingent on vesting. Once an RLP Unit has vested and received allocations of book income sufficient to increase the book capital account balance associated with such RLP Unit (which will initially be zero) equal to, on a per-unit basis, the book capital account balance associated with a "common" Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership, it automatically becomes a common Limited Partner Unit that is convertible by the holder to one share of Common Stock or a cash equivalent, at the Company's option. Net income is allocated to the Noncontrolling Interests based on the weighted average ownership percentage during the period.

Noncontrolling Interest - Joint Venture

Our ownership interest in the Joint Venture is held through a partnership with a third party. We concluded that we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the partnership. As a result, we consolidate the partnership and reflect the third party's interest in the partnership that invests in the Joint Venture as a Noncontrolling Interest. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022, our partner's share of the partnership's income was $63 and $14,294, respectively, and was reflected in the Equity in Income of Joint Ventures and the Noncontrolling Interests line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Noncontrolling Interests line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets includes $14,310 that is our third party partner's interest at September 30, 2022.

ATM Program

On February 14, 2020, we entered into three-year distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell up to 14,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for up to $500,000 aggregate gross sales proceeds, from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings (the "ATM"). Under the terms of the ATM, sales are to be made through transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange, sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or sales made through privately negotiated transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we issued 218,230 shares of the Company's common stock under the ATM, which resulted in $12,823 of net proceeds and payment of compensation to certain sales agents of $130.

Long-Term Compensation

Long-Term Compensation

Awards with Performance Measures

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 35,867 performance units ("Performance Units") and 208,454 RLP Units ("Performance RLP Units" and, together with the Performance Units, collectively the "Performance Awards") were granted to certain employees based on performance-based criteria, which had a fair value of approximately $7,266 on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. A portion of each Performance Award vests based upon the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock compared to the TSR of the FTSE Nareit All Equity Index and the remainder vests based upon the TSR of the Company’s common stock compared to a specified group of peer industrial real estate companies. The performance period for these Performance Awards is three years. Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the applicable vesting period for the Performance Awards. At the end of the measuring period, vested Performance Units convert into shares of common stock.

Service Based Awards

For the nine months ended September 30, 2022, 78,482 shares of restricted stock units ("Service Units") and 57,907 RLP Units ("Service RLP Units" and together with the Service Units, collectively the "Service Awards") were granted to certain employees and outside directors based on service-based criteria, which had an aggregate fair value of approximately $8,032 on the grant date. The Service Awards granted to employees generally either vest ratably over three years or cliff vest after three years based on continued employment. Service awards granted to outside directors vest after one year. Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the Service Awards. At the end of the service period, vested Service Units convert into shares of common stock.

Retirement Eligibility

All award agreements issued underlying Performance Awards and Service Awards contain a retirement benefit for employees with at least 10 years of continuous service and are at least 60 years old. For employees that meet the age and service eligibility requirements, their awards are non-forfeitable. As such, during the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we expensed 100% of the awards granted to retirement-eligible employees at the grant date as if fully vested. For employees who will meet the age and service eligibility requirements during the normal vesting periods, the grants are amortized over the shorter service period.

Outstanding Performance Awards and Service Awards

We recognized $3,584 and $3,508 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $12,578 and $10,572 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, in compensation expense related to the amortization of the Service Awards and the Performance Awards. Service Award and Performance Award amortization capitalized in connection with development activities was $887 and $549 for the three months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively, and $3,214 and $1,759 for the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. At September 30, 2022, we had $13,765 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested Service Awards and Performance Awards. The weighted average period over which the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 0.98 years.

Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities Disclosure [Abstract]

Derivatives

Derivative Instruments

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 these objectives, we primarily use derivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Derivative instruments 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.

We have interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in the one-month LIBOR rate related to our Unsecured Term Loans. We have three interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200,000, that fix the one-month LIBOR rate at 0.99% and mature on February 2, 2026 (the "2021 Swaps"). We also had six interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $260,000, that fixed the one-month LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.79% and matured on September 12, 2022 (the "2015 Swaps").

During the nine months ended September 30, 2022, we entered into eight interest rate swaps (the "2022 Swaps") with an aggregate notional value of $425,000 to manage our exposure to changes in the one-month SOFR rate related to our 2022 Unsecured Term Loan. The 2022 Swaps, which are effective commencing October 3, 2022, fix the one-month daily SOFR rate at 2.69% and mature on September 30, 2027. We have designated the 2022 Swaps as cash flow hedges.

Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain certain cross-default provisions that may be triggered in the event that our other indebtedness is in default, subject to certain thresholds. As of September 30, 2022, 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 related to the 2015 Swaps, the 2021 Swaps and the 2022 Swaps, which are included in the line items Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net or Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021:

			Fair Value Measurements:

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the 2015 Swaps, the 2021 Swaps or the 2022 Swaps during the nine months ended September 30, 2022. See Note 7 for more information regarding our derivatives.

The estimated fair value of the 2015 Swaps, the 2021 Swaps and the 2022 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 2015 Swaps, the 2021 Swaps and the 2022 Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

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.

In conjunction with the development of industrial properties, we have entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction of industrial properties. At September 30, 2022, we had 18 development projects totaling approximately 3.7 million square feet of GLA under construction. The estimated total investment as of September 30, 2022 is approximately $571,100. Of this amount, approximately $259,400 remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated total investment.

Accounting Policies [Abstract]

Basis of Presentation

Basis of PresentationThe accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2021 ("2021 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 2021 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2021 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2021 audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2021 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Estimates

Use of Estimates

In order to conform with 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 September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of September 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021, and our cash flows for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2022 and 2021. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Recent Accounting PronouncementsIn March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform-related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. The Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.
