Financial

The Company reported net loss attributable to common stockholders for the second quarter of $506.9 million, or $2.26 per diluted share, compared to net income of $113.4 million, or $0.48 per diluted share, in the prior year quarter. Net loss in the second quarter includes $624.8 million of impairments and $21.9 million of gains on sale of real estate, as compared to $0 and $44.4 million, respectively, for the prior year quarter. The non-cash impairments primarily reflect certain assets designated for disposition whose expected holding periods were shortened in connection with the Company's increased disposition guidance. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, net loss attributable to common stockholders was $419.0 million, or $1.86 per diluted share, compared to net income of $181.8 million, or $0.78 per diluted share, in the prior year period. Net loss in the six months ended June 30, 2026 includes $631.6 million of impairments and $48.2 million of gains on sale of real estate, as compared to $0 and $57.5 million, respectively, for the prior year period.

The Company reported its share of Core FFO for the second quarter of $141.4 million, representing a 1.2% increase, compared to $139.7 million for the prior year quarter. The Company reported Core FFO of $0.63 per diluted share, representing an increase of 6.8%, compared to $0.59 per diluted share for the prior year quarter. Company share of Core FFO increased by $1.7 million, or $0.04 per diluted share year-over-year, driven by lower general and administrative expense related to the CEO leadership transition and the benefit of share repurchases, partially offset by lower NOI from dispositions executed in the first half of 2026. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company's share of Core FFO was $281.2 million, representing a 0.2% increase, compared to $280.7 million for the prior year period. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company reported Core FFO of $1.24 per diluted share, representing an increase of 2.5%, compared to $1.21 per diluted share for the prior year period.

In the second quarter of 2026, the Company's Same Property Portfolio NOI and Cash NOI decreased 0.5% and increased 1.5%, respectively, compared to the prior year quarter. Same Property Portfolio NOI decrease was primarily driven by effective rental rate compression and higher bad debt, partially offset by higher average occupancy. Same Property Portfolio Cash NOI growth was positively driven by annual contractual rent increases and higher average occupancy, partially offset by higher bad debt. For the six months ended June 30, 2026, the Company's Same Property Portfolio NOI and Cash NOI increased 0.3% and 0.6%, respectively, compared to the prior year period.

Guidance

The Company is updating its full year 2026 guidance as indicated below. Please refer to the Company's supplemental information package for a complete detail of guidance and the 2026 Guidance Rollforward.

The Company is announcing a disposition initiative to realign its portfolio through the planned sale of approximately $2 billion of identified non-core assets. The Company intends to recycle proceeds to increase its financial flexibility through the strengthening of its balance sheet as well as deployment toward the highest risk-adjusted return opportunities, including accretive share repurchases. Accordingly, the Company has increased its full year 2026 disposition guidance to $1.5 to $2.0 billion from $400 to $500 million.

A number of factors could impact the Company's ability to deliver results in line with its guidance, including, but not limited to, the potential impacts related to interest rates, inflation, the economy, tariffs, geopolitical risks including impacts from the war in the Middle East, the supply and demand of industrial real estate, the availability and terms of financing to the Company or to potential acquirers of real estate and the timing and yields for divestment and investment. There can be no assurance that the Company can achieve such results.

Definitions / Discussion of Non-GAAP Financial Measures

Funds from Operations (FFO): We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT"). FFO represents net income (loss) (computed in accordance with GAAP), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, gains (or losses) from sales of assets incidental to our business, impairment losses of depreciable operating property or assets incidental to our business, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and amortization of above/below-market lease intangibles) and after adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because, in excluding real estate related depreciation and amortization, gains and losses from property dispositions, other than temporary impairments of unconsolidated real estate entities, and impairment on our investment in real estate, it provides a performance measure that, when compared year over year, captures trends in occupancy rates, rental rates and operating costs. We also believe that, as a widely recognized measure of performance used by other REITs, FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs. However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other equity REITs may not calculate or interpret FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition as we do, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs' FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends. FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. A reconciliation of net income or loss, the nearest GAAP equivalent, to FFO is set forth below in the Financial Statements and Reconciliations section. "Company Share of FFO" reflects FFO attributable to common stockholders, which excludes amounts allocable to noncontrolling interests, participating securities and preferred stockholders.

Core Funds from Operations (Core FFO): We calculate Core FFO by adjusting FFO for non-comparable items outlined in the "Reconciliation of Net (Loss) Income to Funds From Operations and Core Funds From Operations" table, which is located in the Financial Statements and Reconciliations section below. We believe that Core FFO is a useful supplemental measure and that by adjusting for items that are not considered by the Company to be part of its on-going operating performance, provides a more meaningful and consistent comparison of the Company's operating and financial performance period-over-period. Because these adjustments have a real economic impact on our financial condition and results from operations, the utility of Core FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. Other REITs may not calculate Core FFO in a consistent manner. Accordingly, our Core FFO may not be comparable to other REITs' Core FFO. Core FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP as a measure of our performance. "Company Share of Core FFO" reflects Core FFO attributable to common stockholders, which excludes amounts allocable to noncontrolling interests, participating securities and preferred stockholders.

Reconciliation of Net Loss Attributable to Common Stockholders per Diluted Share Guidance to Company Share of Core FFO per Diluted Share Guidance:

The following is a reconciliation of the Company's 2026 guidance range of net income attributable to common stockholders per diluted share, the most directly comparable forward-looking GAAP financial measure, to Company share of Core FFO per diluted share.

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

NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities in accordance with GAAP. We use NOI to help evaluate the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the performance of our Same Property Portfolio. A calculation of NOI for our Same Property Portfolio, as well as a reconciliation of net income or loss to NOI for our Same Property Portfolio, is set forth below in the Financial Statements and Reconciliations section.

Cash NOI: Cash NOI is a non-GAAP measure, which we calculate by adding or subtracting from NOI: (i) amortization of above/(below) market lease intangibles and amortization of other deferred rent resulting from sale leaseback transactions with below market leaseback payments and (ii) straight-line rent adjustments. We use Cash NOI, together with NOI, as a supplemental performance measure. Cash NOI should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available to fund our cash needs. Cash NOI should not be used as a substitute for cash flow from operating activities computed in accordance with GAAP. We use Cash NOI to help evaluate the performance of the Company as a whole, as well as the performance of our Same Property Portfolio. A calculation of Cash NOI for our Same Property Portfolio, as well as a reconciliation of net income or loss to Cash NOI for our Same Property Portfolio, is set forth below in the Financial Statements and Reconciliations section.

Same Property Portfolio: Our 2026 Same Property Portfolio is a subset of our total portfolio and includes properties that were wholly owned by us for the period from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, and excludes (i) properties that were acquired or sold during the period from January 1, 2025 through June 30, 2026, and (ii) properties acquired prior to January 1, 2025 that were classified as repositioning/development (current and future) or lease-up during 2025 and 2026 and select buildings in "Other Repositioning," which we believe will significantly affect the properties' results during the comparative periods. As of June 30, 2026, our 2026 Same Property Portfolio consisted of buildings aggregating 41.6 million rentable square feet at 341 of our properties.

Properties and Space Under Repositioning: Typically defined as properties or units where a significant amount of space is held vacant in order to implement capital improvements that improve the functionality (not including basic refurbishments, i.e., paint and carpet), cash flow and value of that space. A repositioning is generally considered complete once the investment is fully or nearly fully deployed and the property is available for occupancy.

Properties Under Development: Typically defined as properties where we plan to fully or partially demolish an existing building(s) due to building obsolescence and/or a property with excess or vacant land where we plan to construct a ground-up building.

Stabilization Date — Repositioning/Development Properties: We consider a repositioning/development property to be stabilized at the earlier of the following: (i) upon rent commencement and achieving 90% occupancy or (ii) one year from the date of completion of repositioning/development construction work.

Net Debt to Enterprise Value: As of June 30, 2026, we had consolidated indebtedness of $3.3 billion, reflecting a net debt to enterprise value of approximately 29.1%. Our enterprise value is defined as the sum of the liquidation preference of our outstanding preferred stock and preferred units plus the market value of our common stock excluding shares of nonvested restricted stock, plus the aggregate value of common units not owned by us, plus the value of our net debt. Our Net Debt is defined as our consolidated indebtedness less cash and cash equivalents.

Net Debt to Adjusted EBITDAre: Calculated as Net Debt divided by annualized Adjusted EBITDAre. We calculate Adjusted EBITDAre as net income or loss (computed in accordance with GAAP), before interest expense, tax expense, depreciation and amortization, gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating property, impairment losses of depreciable property, non-cash stock-based compensation expense, write-offs of below market lease intangibles related to unexercised renewal options, acquisition expenses, the pro-forma effects of dispositions and other nonrecurring expenses. We believe that Adjusted EBITDAre is helpful to investors as a supplemental measure of our operating performance as a real estate company because it is a direct measure of the actual operating results of our industrial properties. We also use this measure in ratios to compare our performance to that of our industry peers. In addition, we believe Adjusted EBITDAre is frequently used by securities analysts, investors and other interested parties in the evaluation of Equity REITs. However, because Adjusted EBITDAre is calculated before recurring cash charges including interest expense and income taxes, and is not adjusted for capital expenditures or other recurring cash requirements of our business, its utility as a measure of our liquidity is limited. Accordingly, Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered an alternative to cash flow from operating activities (as computed in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our liquidity. Adjusted EBITDAre should not be considered as an alternative to net income or loss as an indicator of our operating performance. Other Equity REITs may calculate Adjusted EBITDAre differently than we do; accordingly, our Adjusted EBITDAre may not be comparable to such other Equity REITs' Adjusted EBITDAre. Adjusted EBITDAre should be considered only as a supplement to net income or loss (as computed in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of our performance. A reconciliation of net income or loss, the nearest GAAP equivalent, to Adjusted EBITDAre is set forth below in the Financial Statements and Reconciliations section.
