EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2016, of Prologis, Inc. and Prologis, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Prologis, Inc.” or the “Parent” mean Prologis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to “Prologis, L.P.” or the “Operating Partnership” mean Prologis, L.P., and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms “the Company,” “Prologis,” “we,” “our” or “us” means Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership collectively.

Prologis, Inc. is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. At March 31, 2016, Prologis, Inc. owned an approximate 97.04% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and 100% of the preferred units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 2.96% common limited partnership interests are owned by nonaffiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of Prologis, Inc. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Prologis, Inc. has complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership.

We operate Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of Prologis, Inc. consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of Prologis, Inc. and employees of the Operating Partnership or one of its subsidiaries. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, Prologis, Inc. consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. Because the only significant asset of Prologis, Inc. is its investment in the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities of Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:

·

enhances investors’ understanding of Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

·

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Company’s disclosure applies to both Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership; and

·

creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

 

It is important to understand the few differences between Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate the Company. Prologis, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and issuing public equity from time to time. Prologis, Inc. itself does not incur any indebtedness, but it guarantees the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the business, directly or indirectly, and holds the ownership interests in the Company’s investment in certain entities. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by Prologis, Inc., which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates capital required by the business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of partnership units to third parties.

 

Noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of Prologis, Inc. and those of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s consolidated financial statements include the interests in consolidated entities not owned by the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in Prologis, Inc.’s consolidated financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership level, as well as the common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, not owned by Prologis, Inc., which are accounted for as partners’ capital by the Operating Partnership.

 

To highlight the differences between Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, separate sections in this report, as applicable, individually discuss Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of Prologis.

(or the “Parent”) commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company in 1997, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and believes the current organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain its status as a REIT. The Parent is the general partner of Prologis, L.P. (or the “Operating Partnership”). Through the Operating Partnership, we are engaged in the ownership, acquisition, development and management of logistics properties in the world’s primary population centers and in those supported by extensive transportation infrastructure. Our current business strategy consists of two operating business segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital. Our Real Estate Operations segment represents the ownership of industrial properties. Our Strategic Capital segment represents the management of co-investment ventures and other unconsolidated entities. See Note 12 for further discussion of our business segments. Unless otherwise indicated, the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the Parent and the Operating Partnership. The terms “the Company,” “Prologis,” “we,” “our” or “us” means the Parent and Operating Partnership collectively.

 

For each share of common stock or preferred stock the Parent issues, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding common or preferred partnership unit, as applicable, to the Parent in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. At March 31, 2016, the Parent owned an approximate 97.04% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and 100% of the preferred units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 2.96% common limited partnership interests, which include 8.9 million Class A common limited partnership units (“Class A Units”) in the Operating Partnership, are owned by unaffiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Parent. Each partner’s percentage interest in the Operating Partnership is determined based on the number of Operating Partnership units owned as compared to total Operating Partnership units outstanding as of each period end and is used as the basis for the allocation of net income or loss to each partner. At the end of each reporting period, a capital adjustment is made in the Operating Partnership to reflect the appropriate ownership interest for each of the common unitholders. These adjustments are reflected in the line items Reallocation of Equity and Reallocation of Capital.

 

As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent has complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership and we operate the Parent and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the Parent consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of the Parent and employees of the Operating Partnership or one of its subsidiaries. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent consolidates the Operating Partnership. Because the Parent’s only significant asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities of the Parent and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with United States (“U.S.”) generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are presented in our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial information has been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in our annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. Our management believes that the disclosures presented in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for both the Parent and the Operating Partnership for the reported periods have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the SEC, and other public information.

 

Certain amounts included in the accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements for 2015 have been reclassified to conform to the 2016 financial statement presentation.  

 

New Accounting Pronouncements. In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued an accounting standard update that amends the leasing standards in existing GAAP. Under the update, companies that lease assets will be required to recognize on their balance sheets the assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations created by leases with a term greater than 12 months. This will have the effect of recognizing substantially all operating leases on the balance sheet. The accounting for companies that own assets that are leased, such as Prologis, will remain largely unchanged from current GAAP. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2018, but early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the consolidation requirements in existing GAAP. Under the update, all entities, including limited partnerships and similar legal entities, are now within the scope of consolidation guidance, unless a scope exception applies. The presumption that a general partner controls a limited partnership has been eliminated. In addition, fees paid to decision makers that meet certain conditions no longer cause the decision makers to consolidate variable interest entities (“VIEs”). If an entity is determined to be a VIE, it must be consolidated by the primary beneficiary. The primary beneficiary is the enterprise that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE that most significantly impact the VIE’s economic performance, absorbs the majority of the entity’s expected losses, or receives a majority of the entity’s expected residual returns. We adopted this standard on a modified retrospective basis on January 1, 2016, and the adoption did not have a material effect on the Consolidated Financial Statements, however the Operating Partnership and certain of our consolidated co-investment ventures now qualify as VIEs under the new guidance, which required additional disclosures. See Note 8 for additional information about our VIEs. 

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that requires companies to use a five step model to determine when to recognize revenue from customer contracts in an effort to increase consistency and comparability throughout global capital markets and across industries. Under the model, a company will identify the contract, identify any separate performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price and recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date by one year to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The FASB also permits early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

NOTE 2. BUSINESS COMBINATION

 

On May 29, 2015, we acquired the real estate assets and operating platform from KTR Capital Partners and its affiliates (“KTR”). The portfolio consisted of 315 operating properties, aggregating 59.0 million square feet, 3.6 million square feet of properties under development and land parcels that will support an estimated build out of 6.8 million square feet. The properties were acquired by our consolidated co-investment venture Prologis U.S. Logistics Venture, of which we own 55%. The acquisition was funded through cash (which included the contribution of $2.3 billion from our venture partner and the proceeds from the issuance of debt), the assumption of secured mortgage debt and the issuance of 4.5 million common limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership.

The allocation of the purchase price required a significant amount of judgment and was based on our valuations, estimates and assumptions of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed. While the preliminary allocation of the purchase price is substantially complete, the valuation of the real estate properties is still being finalized. We do not expect future revisions, if any, to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

The allocation of the purchase price was as follows (in thousands):

The following pro forma financial information presents our results as though the KTR acquisition had been completed on January 1, 2014. The pro forma information does not reflect the actual results of operations had the transaction actually been completed on January 1, 2014, and it is not indicative of future operating results. The results for the three months ended March 31, 2015, include three months of pro forma adjustments.

These results include certain adjustments, primarily: (i) decreased revenues from the amortization of the net assets from the acquired leases with net favorable rents relative to estimated market rents; (ii) increased depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the adjustment of real estate assets to estimated fair value and recognition of intangible assets related to in-place leases; and (iii) additional interest expense attributable to the debt issued to finance our cash portion of the acquisition offset by lower interest expense due to the accretion of the fair value adjustment of debt assumed.

NOTE 4. UNCONSOLIDATED ENTITIES

 

Summary of Investments

 

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

 

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

 

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

Unconsolidated Co-Investment Ventures

 

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

 

In April 2016, we redeemed a portion of our investment in Prologis Targeted European Logistics Fund (“PTELF”) and Prologis Targeted U.S. Logistics Fund (“USLF”) for €185.0 million ($210.6 million at March 31, 2016) and $200.0 million, respectively. Also in April 2016, PTELF received an additional €120.0 million from third-party investors. As a result of these transactions, our ownership decreased to 27.9% and 17.6% in PTELF and USLF, respectively.

The difference between our ownership interest of a venture’s equity and our investment balance, at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, results principally from three types of transactions: (i) deferring a portion of the gains we recognize from a contribution of a property to a venture ($445.9 million and $430.7 million, respectively); (ii) recording additional costs associated with our investment in a venture ($123.9 million and $122.1 million, respectively); and (iii) advances to a venture ($144.1 million and $189.7 million, respectively). Included in the advances to our ventures at March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015 were receivables from Nippon Prologis REIT, Inc. (“NPR”) of $98.6 million and $85.2 million, respectively, related to customer security deposits that originated through a leasing company owned by us that pertain to properties owned by NPR. We have a corresponding payable to NPR’s customers in Other Liabilities.

Net operating income represents rental revenues less rental expenses.

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

 

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

 

NOTE 5. ASSETS HELD FOR SALE OR CONTRIBUTION

 

We have classified our investments in certain real estate properties that met the criteria to be classified as Assets Held for Sale or Contribution at March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015. These properties are expected to be sold to third parties or contributed to unconsolidated co-investment ventures within twelve months of classification as such. The amounts included in held for sale or contribution represented real estate investment balances and the related assets and liabilities for each property.

NOTE 6. NOTES RECEIVABLE BACKED BY REAL ESTATE

 

In February 2016, a $197.5 million note backed by real estate and all of the accrued interest was paid in full. The note was received in the first quarter of 2015 in connection with the disposition of real estate to a third party.

 

In December 2015, we received other notes backed by real estate of $37.6 million in connection with the disposition of real estate to third parties. We earn interest on the notes at annual rates ranging from 5.5% to 10.0%. The notes have maturity dates ranging from June 2016 to April 2017.

 

NOTE 7. DEBT

 

All debt is incurred by the Operating Partnership. The Parent does not have any indebtedness, but guarantees the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership.

Credit Facilities

 

We have a global senior credit facility (the “Global Facility”), under which we may draw in U.S. dollars, euro, Japanese yen, British pounds sterling and Canadian dollars on a revolving basis up to $2.3 billion at March 31, 2016, subject to currency fluctuations. We also have a ¥45 billion ($400.6 million at March 31, 2016) Japanese yen revolver (the “Revolver”) with availability to increase to ¥56.5 billion. We refer to the Global Facility and the Revolver, collectively, as our “Credit Facilities.”

In April 2016, we amended the Global Facility, under which we may draw the aforementioned currencies on a revolving basis up to $3.0 billion, subject to currency fluctuations. The amended Global Facility is scheduled to mature in April 2020; however, we may extend the maturity date for six months on two occasions, subject to payment of extension fees.

 

Term Loans

 

In March 2016, we entered into an unsecured senior term loan agreement (the “2016 Yen Term Loan”) under which we can draw in Japanese yen in an aggregate amount not to exceed ¥11.2 billion ($99.6 million at March 31, 2016). The 2016 Yen Term Loan bears interest at LIBOR plus 1.10% and is scheduled to mature in March 2017. We borrowed $99.6 million, causing the Yen Term Loan to be fully drawn at March 31, 2016.

 

Long-Term Debt Maturities

Exchangeable Senior Notes

 

During March 2015, the holders of exchangeable notes exchanged $459.8 million of their notes for 11.9 million shares of common stock of the Parent and $0.2 million of their notes for cash. When the debt was exchanged into common stock, the value of the derivative associated with the debt was reclassified to Additional Paid-In Capital. We recognized unrealized gains of $8.3 million during the first quarter of 2015 on the change in fair value of the derivative instrument associated with the exchangeable debt.

 

15

 


 

Debt Covenants

 

We have approximately $6.6 billion of senior notes and $1.9 billion of term loans outstanding at March 31, 2016, that were issued under three separate indentures, as supplemented, and are subject to certain financial covenants. We are also subject to financial covenants under our Credit Facilities and certain secured mortgage debt. At March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all covenants.

 

NOTE 8. NONCONTROLLING INTERESTS

 

Prologis, L.P.

 

We report noncontrolling interests related to several entities we consolidate but of which we do not own 100% of the equity. These entities include two real estate partnerships that have issued limited partnership units to third parties. Depending on the specific partnership agreements, these limited partnership units are exchangeable into shares of the Parent’s common stock (or cash), generally at a rate of one share of common stock to one unit. We also consolidate several entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity and the units of the entity are not exchangeable into our common stock.

 

As discussed in Note 1, the Parent has complete responsibility, power and discretion in the day-to-day management of the Operating Partnership. The Parent, through its majority interest, has the right to receive benefits from and incur losses of the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Operating Partnership does not have either substantive liquidation rights or substantive kick-out rights without cause or substantive participating rights that could be exercised by a simple majority of noncontrolling interests. The absence of such rights renders the Operating Partnership as a VIE. Accordingly, the Parent is the primary beneficiary of and consolidates the Operating Partnership.

 

Prologis, Inc.

 

The noncontrolling interests of the Parent include the noncontrolling interests presented in the Operating Partnership, as well as the common limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the Parent.

 

The following table summarizes our noncontrolling interests and the consolidated entity’s total assets and total liabilities at March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015 (dollars and units in thousands):

(1)

These ventures are considered VIE’s under the new consolidation guidance discussed in Note 1. Based on our evaluation, the noncontrolling interests in these ventures do not hold substantive participating or kick-out rights and therefore as a group they lack the power to direct the significant activities of these ventures that most significantly impact the venture’s economic performance. We have both the power to direct the significant activities and the obligation to absorb losses and the rights to receive benefits from these ventures. As a result, we are the primary beneficiary of both ventures and consistent with prior reporting periods, we consolidate each venture within our financial statements.

The assets of Prologis Brazil Logistics Partners Fund I (“Brazil Fund”) are primarily investments in unconsolidated entities of $108.4 million and $103.1 million at March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, respectively. For additional information on our unconsolidated investments, see Note 4.

 

(3)

This line item includes our two partnerships that have issued limited partnership units to third parties, as discussed above, along with various other consolidated entities. At March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, limited partnership units were exchangeable into cash or, at our option, 1,835 shares of the Parent’s common stock. All of these outstanding limited partnership units receive quarterly cash distributions equal to the quarterly dividends paid on our common stock pursuant to the terms of the applicable partnership agreements.

 

(4)

At March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, we had 8.9 million Class A Units that were convertible into 8.8 million common limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership.

 

(5)

At March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, excluding the Class A Units, there were common limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership that were exchangeable into cash or, at our option, 6.4 million shares of the Parent’s common stock with a fair value of $284.1 million and $275.0 million, respectively, based on the closing stock price of the Parent’s common stock. At March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, there were 2.0 million and 1.2 million LTIP Units (as defined in Note 9) outstanding, respectively, associated with our long-term compensation plan that are exchangeable into common units of the Operating Partnership and redeemable into the Parent’s common stock after they vest and other applicable conditions are met. All of these outstanding limited partnership units receive quarterly cash distributions equal to the quarterly distributions paid on our common stock pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement.

NOTE 9. LONG-TERM COMPENSATION

 

Prologis Outperformance Plan (“POP” formerly “OPP”)

 

We may grant points under our POP with a fair value at the date of grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model that assumes a risk free interest rate and an expected volatility. Such points relate to a three-year performance period. At March 31, 2016, we have POP points outstanding for the 2014 – 2016 and 2015 – 2017 performance periods under the POP.

NOTE 11. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS AND FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage these risks, we may enter into various derivative contracts, such as foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure, and interest rate swaps to manage the effect of interest rate fluctuations. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All of our derivative financial instruments are customized derivative transactions and are not exchange-traded. Management reviews our hedging program, derivative positions and overall risk management strategy on a regular basis. We enter into only those transactions we believe will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying risk. There have been no significant changes in our policy or strategy from what was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

 

The following table presents the fair value and location of our derivative instruments (in thousands):

As discussed above, these foreign currency options are not designated as hedges. We recognized losses of $16.8 million and gains of $20.1 million in Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains and (Losses) and Related Amortization, Net from the change in value of our outstanding foreign currency options for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively.

 

Foreign Currency

 

We primarily manage our foreign currency exposure by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest. We may issue debt in a currency that is not the same functional currency of the borrowing entity to offset the translation and economic exposures related to our net investment in international subsidiaries. To mitigate the impact of the translation from the fluctuations in exchange rates, we may designate this debt as a nonderivative financial instrument hedge. We also hedge our investments in certain international subsidiaries using foreign currency derivative contracts (net investment hedges) to offset the translation and economic exposures related to our investments in these subsidiaries by locking in a forward exchange rate at the inception of the hedge. To the extent we have an effective hedging relationship, we report all changes in fair value of the hedged portion of the nonderivative financial instruments and net investment hedges in equity in the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCI” in the Consolidated Balance Sheets). These amounts offset the translation adjustments on the underlying net assets of our foreign investments, which we also record in AOCI. The changes in fair value of the portion of the nonderivative financial instruments that are not designated as hedges are recorded directly in earnings within the line item Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses) and Related Amortization, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Income. We recognize ineffectiveness, if any, in earnings at the time the ineffectiveness occurred.

 

We may use foreign currency option contracts, including puts, calls and collars to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the translation of our projected net operating income of our international subsidiaries. These are not designated as hedges as they do not meet hedge accounting requirements. Changes in the fair value of non-hedge designated derivatives are recorded directly in earnings within the line item Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses) and Related Amortization, Net. We may also use foreign currency forwards designed as cash flow hedges to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with payments in a currency that is not the functional currency of our foreign subsidiaries. To the extent we have an effective hedging relationship; we report all changes in fair value of the hedged portion of the foreign currency forwards cash flow hedges in AOCI. We recognize ineffectiveness, if any, in earnings at the time the ineffectiveness occurred. We did not record any ineffectiveness on our foreign currency derivative contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015.

(1)

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, we exercised eight and six option contracts and realized gains of $1.7 million and $2.2 million, respectively, in Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses) and Related Amortization, Net.

 

(2)

Included in our British pounds sterling denominated option contracts are two forward contracts to sell British pounds sterling and buy euros. These forwards have a notional amount of £11.0 million (€14.8 million) and were reported in this table using a weighted average exchange rate of $1.09 U.S. dollars to the euro.

 

Interest Rate

 

We may enter into interest rate swap agreements, which allow us to borrow on a fixed rate basis for longer-term debt issuances, or interest rate cap agreements, which allow us to minimize the impact of increases in interest rates. We may also enter into interest rate swap agreements that allow us to receive variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of our agreements without the exchange of the underlying notional amount.

 

We report the effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative as a component of AOCI and reclassify it to Interest Expense over the corresponding period of the hedged item. To the extent the hedged debt is paid off early, we write off the remaining balance in AOCI and we recognize the amount in Gains (Losses) on Early Extinguishment of Debt, Net. We recognize losses on a derivative representing hedge ineffectiveness in Interest Expense at the time the ineffectiveness occurred. Losses due to hedge ineffectiveness on our interest rate derivative contracts were not considered material during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015.

 

At March 31, 2016 and December 31, 2015, we had seven interest rate swaps outstanding with a notional amount of $1.4 billion. We did not enter into or settle any interest rate swaps during the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015.

 

In January 2016, the Bank of Japan introduced negative interest rates. As a result, our two Japanese yen denominated interest rate hedges related to the 2015 Japan term loan no longer qualified for hedge accounting due to a zero percent floor mismatch in the hedging relationship. These interest rate hedges were designated as cash flow hedges at December 31, 2015, and the change in fair value was recorded in Other Comprehensive Income. We began recording the change in fair value of these interest rate hedges to our statement of income when the hedges no longer qualified for hedge accounting. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we recorded a loss of $6.7 million in Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses) and Related Amortization, Net.

 

20

 


 

Other Comprehensive Income

 

The change in Other Comprehensive Income in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income during the periods presented is due to the translation upon consolidation of the financial statements into U.S. dollars of our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar for which we recorded gains of $154.8 million and losses $517.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively. It also includes the change in fair value for the effective portion of our derivative and nonderivative instruments that have been designated as hedges.

 

The following table presents the gains and (losses) associated with the change in fair value for the effective portion of our derivative and nonderivative hedging instruments included in Other Comprehensive Income (in thousands):

(2)

The amounts reclassified to interest expense for three months ended March 31, 2016, were $1.0 million. The amounts reclassified to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015, were not considered significant. For the next 12 months from March 31, 2016, we estimate an additional expense for $5.9 million will be reclassified to Interest Expense.

 

(3)

At March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, we had €3.2 billion ($3.6 billion) and €3.2 billion ($3.5 billion) of debt, net of accrued interest, respectively, designated as nonderivative financial instrument hedges of our net investment in international subsidiaries. We recognized unrealized gains of $15.4 million in Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses) and Related Amortization, Net on the unhedged portion of our debt for the three months ended March 31, 2015. There were no unrealized gains or losses recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2016.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that we would realize on disposition. There have been no significant changes in our policy or strategy from what was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015.

 

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

 

At March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, other than the derivatives discussed previously, we did not have any significant financial assets or financial liabilities that were measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. All of our derivatives held at March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Fair Value Measurements on Nonrecurring Basis

 

No assets met the criteria to be measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis at March 31, 2016, or December 31, 2015.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

At March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, the carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values because of the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value in the table below are the result of differences in interest rates or borrowing spreads that were available to us at March 31, 2016, and December 31, 2015, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or assumed, including reduced borrowing spreads due to our improved credit ratings. The senior notes and many of the issues of secured mortgage debt contain pre-payment penalties or yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at lower rates exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so.

NOTE 12. BUSINESS SEGMENTS

 

Our current business strategy consists of two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital. We generate revenues, earnings, net operating income and cash flows through our segments, as follows:

 

·

Real Estate Operations. This operating segment represents the ownership of industrial operating properties and is the largest component of our revenue and earnings. We collect rent from our customers through operating leases, including reimbursements for the majority of our property operating costs. Each operating property is considered to be an individual operating segment with similar economic characteristics; these properties are combined within the reportable segment based on geographic location. Our Real Estate Operations segment also includes development activities that lead to rental operations, including land held for development and properties currently under development. Within this line of business, we capitalize on the following: (i) the land that we currently own; (ii) the development expertise of our local teams; (iii) our global customer relationships; and (iv) our in-depth knowledge of global demand for high-quality logistics facilities. Land we own and lease to customers under ground leases is also included in this segment.

 

·

Strategic Capital. This operating segment represents the management of unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We generate strategic capital revenues from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures through asset management and property management services and we earn additional revenues by providing leasing, acquisition, construction, development, financing and disposition services. Depending on the structure of the venture and the returns provided to our partners, we also earn revenues through promotes during the life of a venture or upon liquidation. Each unconsolidated co-investment venture we manage is considered to be an individual operating segment with similar economic characteristics; these ventures are combined within the reportable segment based on geographic location.

 

Reconciliations are presented below for: (i) each reportable business segment’s revenue from external customers to Total Revenues; (ii) each reportable business segment’s net operating income from external customers to Earnings Before Income Taxes; and (iii) each reportable business segment’s assets to Total Assets. Our chief operating decision makers rely primarily on net operating income and similar measures to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing segment performance. The applicable components of Total Revenues, Earnings Before Income Taxes and Total Assets are allocated to each reportable business segment’s revenues, net operating income and assets. Items that are not directly assignable to a segment, such as certain corporate income and expenses, are not allocated but reflected as reconciling items. The following reconciliations are presented in thousands:

ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

 

The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 1 of this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015, as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).

 

Certain statements contained in this discussion or elsewhere in this report may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” and “estimates” including variations of such words and similar expressions are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, development activity and changes in sales or contribution volume of properties, disposition activity, general conditions in the geographic areas where we operate, our debt, capital structure and financial position, our ability to form new co-investment ventures and the availability of capital in existing or new co-investment ventures — are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained, and therefore actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that may affect outcomes and results are beyond our ability to control. For further discussion of these factors see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. References to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Prologis, Inc. (or the “Parent”) and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW

 

We are the global leader in logistics real estate with a focus on high-barrier, high-growth markets. As of March 31, 2016, we owned or had investments in, on a wholly owned basis or through co-investment ventures, properties and development projects expected to total $52.8 billion in gross total investment across 667 million square feet (62 million square meters) in 20 countries. Our investment is $32.0 billion, which consists of our wholly-owned properties and our pro rata (or ownership) share of the properties owned by our co-investment ventures. We lease modern distribution facilities to a diverse base of approximately 5,200 customers across two major categories: business-to-business and retail/on-line fulfillment.

 

Our strategy is to invest in Class-A logistics facilities in the world’s primary population centers and in those supported by extensive transportation infrastructure (major airports, seaports and rail and highway systems). We believe our portfolio is the highest quality logistics property portfolio in the industry. In addition, this portfolio is concentrated in the key markets at the intersection of consumption and global trade. Our local teams actively manage the portfolio, which encompasses leasing and property management efforts, new capital deployment activities and an opportunistic disposition program. The majority of our consolidated properties are in the U.S., while outside the U.S., our properties are generally held in co-investment ventures reducing our exposure to movements in foreign currency. Therefore, we are principally an owner-operator in the U.S. and a manager-developer outside the U.S.

 

Real estate is a capital-intensive business that requires growth capital. Our strategic capital business gives us access to third-party capital, both private and public, which allows us to diversify our sources of capital and therefore have a broader range of options to fund our growth. We co-invest with some of the world’s largest institutional partners to grow our business and provide incremental revenues. We also access alternative sources of equity through two publicly traded vehicles: Nippon Prologis REIT, Inc. (“NPR”) in Japan and FIBRA Prologis in Mexico. We tailor logistics portfolios to meet our partners’ specific needs, with a focus on long-term ventures and open-ended funds. We hold significant ownership interests in these ventures, aligning our interests with those of our partners. These vehicles source their capital primarily in the local currency and borrow in the local currency, which mitigates our foreign currency exposure for our international co-investment ventures. We also have other programs to mitigate foreign currency exposure that are discussed below.

 

Prologis, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (“REIT”) and is the sole general partner of Prologis, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). We operate Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise and, therefore, our discussion and analysis refers to Prologis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, collectively.

 

Our business comprises two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital.

REAL ESTATE –

OPERATIONS

generate net operating income (“NOI”) by maintaining high occupancy rates and increasing rents

REAL ESTATE –

DEVELOPMENT

Generate value from development completions

STRATEGIC CAPITAL

Access third-party capital to grow our business and earn recurring fees and promotes

We have a high-quality logistics portfolio that serves premier brands across the globe. In the first quarter of 2016, we:

 

·generated over 90% of the NOI from our consolidated buildings in the U.S.

·increased NOI 41% from the first quarter of 2015

·ended the quarter with occupancy of 96%

Development contributes to significant earnings growth as projects lease up and generate NOI. In the first quarter of 2016, we:

 

·stabilized a total estimated investment of $448 million of development projects with an estimated gross margin of 27%, creating $121 million of value

Durable fee stream with more than 90% from perpetual or long-life co-investment ventures. In the first quarter of 2016, we:

 

·increased Strategic Capital NOI 45% from the first quarter of 2015.

·generated over 90% of our NOI from outside the U.S.

·co-invested with some of the world's largest institutional partners

 

The operations and development information above is for our consolidated portfolio and is similar to our owned and managed portfolio.

 

Real Estate Operations

 

Rental Operations. Rental operations comprise the largest component of our operating segments and contributed more than 90% of our revenues, earnings and funds from operations in the first quarter of 2016 (see below for our definition of funds from operations and a complete reconciliation to net earnings). We collect rent from our customers through operating leases, including reimbursements for the majority of our property operating costs. We expect to generate long-term internal growth by maintaining high occupancy rates, increasing rents and controlling expenses. We believe our active portfolio management, coupled with the skills of our property management, leasing, maintenance, capital expenditures, energy and risk management teams, will allow us to maximize rental revenues across our global portfolio. In the first quarter of 2016, 92.7% of our NOI in this segment was generated in the U.S.

 

Development. We capitalize on (i) our land bank, (ii) the development expertise of our local teams, (iii) our customer relationships and (iv) our in-depth knowledge of global demand for high-quality logistics facilities. Successful development efforts increase both our rental revenue and our net asset value of the Real Estate Operations segment. We develop properties for long-term hold, for contribution to our co-investment ventures and, occasionally, for sale to third parties. The value we created from this activity for all of 2015 and for the first quarter of 2016 included a development margin that averaged 19.6%.

 

Strategic Capital

 

We generate strategic capital revenues from our unconsolidated ventures through asset management and property management services and we earn additional revenues by providing leasing, acquisition, construction, development, financing and disposition services. Depending on the structure of the venture and the returns provided to our partners, we also earn revenues through incentive fees (“promotes”) during the life of a venture or upon liquidation. This segment contributed approximately 10% of our revenues, earnings and funds from operations in the first quarter of 2016. We plan to grow this business through our existing ventures. In the first quarter of 2016, 93.0% of the NOI in this segment was generated outside the U.S.

 

Growth Strategies

 

We believe the scale and quality of our global operating portfolio, the skills of our team and the strength of our balance sheet give us unique competitive advantages. Our plan to grow revenue, earnings, NOI, cash flows and funds from operations is based on the following:

 

·

Rising Rents. Market rents are rising across many of our markets, and additional increases are expected as demand for logistics facilities remains strong. Because many of our leases originated during low rent periods following the global financial crisis, in-place leases have room for growth, which translates into increased earnings, NOI and cash flow, both on a consolidated basis and through the amounts we recognize from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures based on our ownership. This is reflected in the positive rent change on rollovers (when comparing the net effective rent of the new lease to the prior lease for the same space) on our owned and managed operating portfolio every quarter for the last three years. During the first quarter of 2016, we had rental increases of 16.2% on rollovers in our owned and managed portfolio.

 

·

Value Creation from Development. We believe a successful development program involves maintaining control of well-positioned land. On the basis of our current estimates, our owned and managed land bank has the potential to support the development of more than $8.7 billion of total expected investment (“TEI”) of logistics space. TEI represents the total estimated cost of development or expansion, including land, development and leasing costs. We believe the carrying value of our land bank is below its current fair value, and we expect to realize this value going forward through the development of our land and also the disposition of land that no longer serves our business model. During 2015 and through the first quarter of 2016, in our owned and managed portfolio, we stabilized development projects with a TEI of $2.4 billion. Post stabilization (defined as occupancy greater than 90%), we estimate the value of these buildings to be approximately 27% above their book value or the cost to develop

28

 


 

(defined as estimated weighted average margin and calculated using estimated yield and capitalization rates from our underwriting models). In addition, as these properties lease up, we will have increased NOI. 

 

·

Economies of Scale from Growth in Assets Under Management. We believe we have the right infrastructure in place to allow us to increase our investments in real estate, with minimal increases to general and administrative (“G&A”) expenses. During 2015 and through the first quarter of 2016, our owned and managed real estate assets increased through the acquisition of 75 million square feet of operating properties and the addition of 30 million square feet of development starts, which was partially offset by dispositions to third parties of 31 million square feet. The acquisitions are related primarily to the acquisition of the real estate portfolio of KTR Capital Partners and its affiliates (“KTR”) in 2015. We completed this acquisition and integrated the portfolio with only minimal increases in overhead related to property management functions.

 

SUMMARY OF 2016

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, and through the date of this report, we completed the following activities as further described in the Consolidated Financial Statements:

 

·

We generated net proceeds of $678 million and net gains of $144 million from the contribution and disposition of real estate investments in the first quarter of 2016. The proceeds were driven by dispositions to third parties of $280 million, primarily in the U.S., and property contributions of $398 million, primarily in Japan.

 

·

In April 2016, we redeemed a portion of our investment in Prologis Targeted European Logistics Fund and Prologis Targeted U.S. Logistics Fund for €185 million ($211 million at March 31, 2016) and $200 million, respectively.

 

·

In April 2016, we amended our global senior credit facility (the “Global Facility”) and increased the total borrowing capacity to $3.0 billion and extended the maturity until April 2020, which along with our Japanese yen revolver increased our total borrowing capacity to $3.4 billion.

 

We had significant development activity and strong operating metrics during the first quarter of 2016. See below for details of our development and operating activity.  

 

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2016, and 2015

 

Real Estate Operations

 

This operating segment includes rental revenue and rental expense recognized from buildings we operate, primarily from our consolidated operating portfolio. The operating fundamentals in the markets in which we operate have been improving, which has positively affected both the rental rates and occupancy we have experienced and also has fueled development activity. This operating segment also includes revenue from land we own and lease to customers and development management and other revenue, net of acquisition and land holding costs.

Total change in NOI

 

$

(1)

The increase from acquisitions was primarily due to the KTR transaction during the second quarter of 2015, which generated $83 million of NOI. Approximately 45% of all KTR activity is offset in Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests in the Consolidated Statements of Income attributable to our venture partner’s share.

 

(2)

Rent rate growth is a combination of increases in rental rates from contractual rent on existing leases and on the turnover of existing leases. If a lease has a contractual rent increase that is not known at the time the lease is signed, such as the consumer price index or a similar metric, the rent increase is not included in rent leveling and therefore, would impact the rental revenue we recognize. We have experienced an increase in rental rates on the turnover of existing leases every quarter since 2012 that has resulted in higher average rental rates in our portfolio and increased rental revenue and NOI as those leases commenced.

 

(3)

The NOI is from developed properties that were completed subsequent to the first quarter 2015.

 

Strategic Capital

 

This operating segment includes revenue from fees and promotes earned for services performed for our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. This revenue is reduced generally by the direct costs associated with the asset management of these ventures and allocated property-level management costs for the properties owned by the ventures. Revenue associated with the Strategic Capital segment fluctuates because of the size of co-investment ventures under management, the transactional activity in the ventures and the timing of promotes.

 

The amounts presented for Europe and Asia are shown in U.S. dollars and were impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates, primarily the euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen, to the U.S. dollar. We have hedged the majority of our foreign investments through outstanding debt and derivative instruments that offset the majority of these fluctuations.

Our Owned and Managed Portfolio

 

We manage our business on an owned and managed basis including properties wholly owned by us or owned by one of our co-investment ventures. We review our operating fundamentals on an owned and managed basis, and in most cases, our ownership share. We believe reviewing these fundamentals in both ways allow management to understand the entire impact to the financial statements, as it will affect both the Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital segments, as well as the net earnings we recognize from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures based on our ownership share.

 

Our owned and managed portfolio includes operating industrial properties and does not include properties under development or held for sale to third parties (square feet in millions):

Same Store Analysis

 

We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a “same store” analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of the portfolio on performance measures. We include properties from our owned and managed portfolio in our same store analysis. We have defined the same store portfolio, for the three months ended March 31, 2016, as those properties that were in operation at January 1, 2015, and have been in operation throughout the same three-month periods in both 2016 and 2015. We have removed all properties that were disposed of to a third party or were classified as held for sale to a third party from the population for both periods. We believe the factors that affect rental revenue, rental expenses and NOI in the same store portfolio are generally the same as for the total portfolio. To derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the recent period end exchange rate to translate from local currency into the U.S. dollar, for both periods.

 

32

 


 

We calculate our same store results on a quarterly basis. The following is a reconciliation of our consolidated rental revenue, rental expenses and NOI (calculated as rental revenue and recoveries less rental expenses), as included in the Consolidated Statements of Income, to the respective amounts in our same store portfolio analysis for the three months ended March 31 (dollars in millions):

(1)

We include 100% of the NOI from the properties in our same store portfolio. During the periods presented, certain properties owned by us were contributed to a co-investment venture and are included in the same store portfolio. Neither our consolidated results nor those of the co-investment ventures, when viewed individually, would be comparable on a same store basis because of the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (e.g. the results of a contributed property are included in our consolidated results through the contribution date and in the results of the unconsolidated entities subsequent to the contribution date).

 

(2)

We exclude the net termination and renegotiation fees from our same store rental revenue to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each property’s rental revenue without regard to items that are not indicative of the property’s recurring operating performance. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease, offset by the write-off of the asset recorded due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term. The adjustments to remove these items are included in “effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other” in this table.

 

(3)

Rental expenses include the direct operating expenses of the property such as property taxes, insurance and utilities. In addition, we include an allocation of the property management expenses for our direct-owned properties based on the property management services provided to each property (generally, based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, these amounts are eliminated and the actual costs of providing property management services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expenses. These expenses fluctuate based on the level of properties included in the same store portfolio and any adjustment is included as “effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other” in this table.

 

Other Components of Income (Expense)

 

G&A Expenses, Net

 

Our property management functions are provided by Prologis personnel who perform the management of the properties in our owned and managed portfolio. We allocate the costs of our property management to the properties we consolidate (included in Rental Expenses in our Real Estate Operations segment) and the properties owned by the unconsolidated co-investment ventures (included in Strategic Capital Expenses in our Strategic Capital segment) by using the square feet owned by the respective portfolios. During the first quarters of 2016 and 2015, $9 million and $8 million, respectively, of net employee costs related to property management activities were included in Rental Expenses. In addition to the allocated property management costs, Strategic Capital Expenses also include the direct expenses associated with the asset management of the unconsolidated co-investment ventures provided by our employees who are assigned to our Strategic Capital segment. We do not allocate indirect costs to Strategic Capital Expenses.

 

33

 


 

We capitalize certain costs directly related to our development and leasing activities. Capitalized G&A expenses included salaries and related costs, as well as other G&A costs. The following table summarizes capitalized G&A amounts for the three months ended March 31 (in millions):

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses

 

Depreciation and amortization expenses increased $80 million from the three months ended March 31, 2015 to the same time period in 2016, primarily from acquired properties (including the properties acquired in the KTR acquisition in May 2015) and development properties that were completed during 2015 and 2016. This is offset slightly by the disposition and contribution of properties during 2015 and 2016.

 

Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net

 

We recognized net earnings from unconsolidated entities that are accounted for using the equity method of $58 million and $31 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively. The earnings we recognize may be impacted by: (i) variances in revenues and expenses of each venture; (ii) the size and occupancy rate of the portfolio of properties owned by each venture; (iii) gains or losses from the dispositions of properties; (iv) our ownership interest in each venture; and (v) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate our share of net earnings to U.S. dollars. See the discussion of our co-investment ventures above in the Strategic Capital segment discussion and in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further breakdown of our share of net earnings recognized.

Gross interest expense increased from the three months ended March 31, 2015 to the same period in 2016, due to higher debt levels, offset somewhat by a decrease in interest rates. Our debt increased by $3.0 billion from March 31, 2015, to March 31, 2016, principally from the financing of KTR and the assumption of secured mortgage debt during 2015. Our weighted average effective interest rate was 3.2% and 3.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below, for further discussion of our debt and borrowing costs.

 

Gains on Dispositions of Investments in Real Estate, Net

 

We recognized gains on dispositions of investments in real estate, net of $144 million and $278 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, respectively. In 2016, the gains were driven from the contribution of five properties primarily to NPR and the sale of 27 properties to third parties, primarily in the U.S. We used the proceeds to pay down the remaining balance of the term loan ($400 million) that was used to finance a portion of the KTR acquisition. In 2015, the gains were driven from the contribution of three properties in Europe, and the disposition of 34 properties to third parties, primarily in the U.S. We expect to continue to have contributions to co-investment ventures in the future, primarily in Europe, Japan and Mexico, as well as make dispositions of properties to third parties, primarily in the U.S., all depending on market conditions and other factors. We expect to use the proceeds from such contributions and dispositions to fund our capital deployment activities and to pay down debt. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the gains we recognized.

These gains or losses were primarily related to the remeasurement of short-term intercompany loans between the U.S. parent and certain consolidated subsidiaries in Japan and Europe and result from fluctuations in the exchange rates of the U.S. dollar to the Japanese yen, British pound sterling and euro.

 

Income Tax Expense

 

We recognize current income tax expense for income taxes incurred by our taxable REIT subsidiaries, state and local income taxes and taxes incurred in our foreign jurisdictions. Our current income tax expense fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our taxable income. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences and the utilization of net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets in taxable subsidiaries operating in the U.S. or in foreign jurisdictions.

Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

 

This amount represents the third-party investors’ share of the earnings generated in consolidated entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity, reduced by the third party share of fees or promotes payable to us and earned during the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, the net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests for Prologis, Inc. was $13 million and $4 million, respectively, of which $7 million and $3 million was related to noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership. The increase was due to the additional units in the Operating Partnerships issued in connection with acquisitions during 2015. The remaining difference is primarily related to operating activity in our consolidated co-investment ventures. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our consolidated ventures.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

 

We recognize unrealized gains or losses related to the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars. We primarily manage our foreign currency exposure by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest. In certain circumstances, we may issue debt in a currency that is not the same functional currency of the borrowing entity to offset the translation and economic exposures related to our net investment in international subsidiaries. To mitigate the impact of the translation from the fluctuations in exchange rates, we may designate the debt as a nonderivative financial instrument hedge. We also hedge our investments in certain international subsidiaries using foreign currency derivative contracts (net investment hedges) to offset the translation and economic exposures related to our investments in these subsidiaries by locking in a forward exchange rate at the inception of the hedge. The realized and unrealized gains or losses associated with the changes in the fair value of derivative and nonderivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges and hedges of net investments in foreign operations.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, we recorded unrealized gains of $1 million and unrealized losses of $124 million, respectively, related to foreign currency translations of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars upon consolidation. The unrealized gains in 2016 were principally due to the strengthening of the euro and Japanese yen offset by the weakening of the British pound sterling and Brazilian real to the U.S. dollar from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. The unrealized losses in 2015 were principally due to the weakening of the euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen and Brazilian real to the U.S. dollar from the beginning of the period to the end of the period. During the three months ended March 31, 2016, and 2015, we also recorded unrealized losses of $16 million and unrealized gains of $4 million, respectively, related to the change in fair value of our cash flow hedges.

 

See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our derivative transactions.

 

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

 

Overview

 

We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, distributions from our co-investment ventures, dispositions of properties and from available financing sources to be adequate to meet our anticipated future development, acquisition, operating, debt service, dividend and distribution requirements.

 

Near-Term Principal Cash Sources and Uses

 

In addition to dividends to the common and preferred stockholders of Prologis and distributions to the holders of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership and our partners in the consolidated co-investment ventures, we expect our primary cash needs will consist of the following:

 

·

repayment of debt and scheduled principal payments of $337 million for the remainder of 2016;

 

35

 


 

·

completion of the development and leasing of the properties in our consolidated development portfolio (at March 31, 2016, 89 properties in our development portfolio were 43.4% leased with a current investment of $1.9 billion and a TEI of $2.7 billion when completed and leased, leaving $0.8 billion remaining to be spent); 

 

·

development of new properties for long-term investment, including the acquisition of land in certain markets;

 

·

capital expenditures and leasing costs on properties in our operating portfolio;

 

·

additional investments in current unconsolidated entities or new investments in future unconsolidated co-investment ventures;

 

·

acquisition of operating properties or portfolios of operating properties in global or regional markets (depending on market and other conditions) for direct, long-term investment in our consolidated portfolio (this might include acquisitions from our co-investment ventures); and

 

·

repurchase of our outstanding debt or equity securities (depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors) through cash purchases, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise.

 

We expect to fund our cash needs principally from the following sources, all subject to market conditions:

 

·

available unrestricted cash balances ($370 million at March 31, 2016);

 

·

property operations;

 

·

fees earned for services performed on behalf of the co-investment ventures, including promotes;

 

·

distributions received from the co-investment ventures;

 

·

proceeds from the disposition of properties, land parcels or other investments to third parties;

 

·

proceeds from the contributions of properties to current or future co-investment ventures;

 

·

proceeds from the sale of a portion of our investments in co-investment ventures. (In April 2016, we redeemed a portion of our investment in Prologis Targeted European Logistics Fund and Prologis Targeted U.S. Logistics Fund for €185 million ($211 million at March 31, 2016) and $200 million, respectively);

 

·

borrowing capacity under our current credit facility arrangements discussed in the following section, other facilities or borrowing arrangements; and

 

·

proceeds from the issuance of debt securities, including secured mortgage debt.

 

We may also generate proceeds from the issuance of equity securities, subject to market conditions.

We repaid the $400 million remaining balance on the senior term loan that was used to fund the KTR acquisition with proceeds generated from the contributions of development properties to our co-investment ventures and proceeds generated from the disposition of certain nonstrategic properties to third parties.

 

At March 31, 2016, we had credit facilities with an aggregate borrowing capacity of $2.7 billion, of which $2.4 billion was available for borrowing. In April 2016, we amended the Global Facility and increased our aggregate borrowing capacity $0.7 billion.

 

At March 31, 2016, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants. These covenants include customary financial covenants for total debt, encumbered debt and fixed charge coverage ratios.

 

See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our debt.

 

Equity Commitments Related to Certain Co-Investment Ventures

 

Certain co-investment ventures have equity commitments from us and our venture partners. Our venture partners fulfill their equity commitment with cash. We may fulfill our equity commitment through contributions of properties or cash. For more information on equity commitments for our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We also have one consolidated co-investment venture with equity commitments, the Brazil Fund. There has been no material change to the equity commitments since December 31, 2015.

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, cash provided by operating activities was less than cash dividends paid on common and preferred stock by $109 million. In 2015, we had other sources of cash that we used to fund dividends not covered by cash flows from operating activities, including proceeds from dispositions of real estate properties of $326 million. As disclosed in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we paid $117 million and $149 million for interest and income taxes in 2016 and 2015, respectively. In addition, our cash provided by operating activities, exclusive of changes in receivables and payables, is impacted by the following significant activity:

 

·

Real estate operations NOI. We receive the majority of our operating cash through our Real Estate Operations segment. NOI from this segment, less the noncash amount of straight-lined rent and amortization of above and below market leases, was $385 million and $283 million for 2016 and 2015, respectively. See our Real Estate Operations Results of Operations section above for the key drivers of our real estate operations NOI.

 

·

Strategic capital NOI. We also generate operating cash through our Strategic Capital segment by providing management services to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. NOI from this segment was $24 million and $17 million for 2016 and 2015. See our Strategic Capital Results of Operations section above for the key drivers of our strategic capital NOI. Included in the cash provided by operating activities for 2016 is $25 million for the promote revenue, which represented the third-party share and was accrued as strategic capital NOI for the year ended December 31, 2015 and paid in 2016.

 

·

Distributions from unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We receive distributions from our unconsolidated entities that are classified as a return on our investment or return of our investment. A return on our investment is reflected in Operating Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and represents our share of the net earnings in the ventures, which is reduced by non-cash charges such as depreciation and amortization. A return of our investment is reflected in Investing Activities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and represents distributions that we receive in excess of our share of net earnings in the ventures.

Cash Provided by (Used in) Investing Activities

 

·

Real estate development. We invested $344 million and $337 million in 2016 and 2015, respectively, in real estate development and leasing costs for first generation leases. We had 65 properties under development and 24 properties that were completed but not stabilized at March 31, 2016, and we expect to continue to develop new properties as the opportunities arise.

 

·

Real estate acquisitions. In 2016, we acquired total real estate of $67 million, which included 99 acres of land and four operating properties. In 2015, we acquired total real estate of $69 million, which included 198 acres of land and one operating property.

 

·

Capital expenditures. We invested $52 million and $42 million in our operating properties during 2016 and 2015, respectively; which included recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions on existing operating properties that were previously leased.

 

·

Proceeds from dispositions and contributions. We generated cash from dispositions and contributions of real estate properties of $603 million and $326 million during 2016 and 2015, respectively.

·

Return of investment. As discussed above, we receive distributions from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures from operations representing our share of the net earnings recognized that are reflected in Operating Activities. Any distribution that we receive in excess of our share of net earnings is reflected as a return of investment in Investing Activities. We received distributions from unconsolidated co-investment ventures and other ventures as a return of investment of $121 million and $35 million during 2016 and 2015, respectively. Included in this amount for 2016 is $79 million from the disposition of our investment in a joint venture. Included in these amounts for both 2016 and 2015, are distributions in excess of our share of net earnings of $34 million from additional operating cash flows primarily related to our share of non-cash expenses such as depreciation.

 

·

Proceeds from repayment of notes receivable backed by real estate. In February 2016, we received $198 million for the payment in full of a note receivable backed by real estate in connection with the disposition of real estate to a third party in 2015. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this note receivable backed by real estate.

 

Cash Used In Financing Activities

 

·

Proceeds from issuance of common stock. We generated net proceeds of $72 million from the issuance of shares of common stock under our at-the-market program during the first quarter of 2015.

 

·

Dividends paid on common and preferred stock. We paid dividends of $223 million and $191 million to our common and preferred stockholders during 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

·

Noncontrolling interests distributions. In 2016 and 2015, we distributed $79 million and $22 million to various noncontrolling interests, respectively. Distributions in 2016 included $33 million related to proceeds from distributions of real estate, primarily to our partner in Prologis U.S. Logistics Venture. Distributions in 2015 included $10 million related to proceeds from dispositions, primarily to our partner in Mexico Fondo Logistico.

 

·

Net proceeds from credit facilities. We received net proceeds of $303 million and $67 million on our credit facilities during 2016 and 2015, respectively.

 

·

Repurchase and payments of debt. During 2016, we made payments of $600 million on our outstanding term loans, $5 million on regularly scheduled debt principal payments and payments at maturity and repurchased and extinguished secured mortgage debt of $204 million. During 2015, we made payments of $3 million on regularly scheduled debt principal payments and payments at maturity and repurchased and extinguished secured mortgage debt of $310 million.

 

·

Proceeds from issuance of debt. In 2016, we issued $299 million of term loans and used the net proceeds for general corporate purposes. In 2015, we issued $348 million of term loans. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on debt.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Unconsolidated Co-Investment Venture Debt

 

We had investments in and advances to unconsolidated co-investment ventures at March 31, 2016, of $4.7 billion. These ventures had total third-party debt of $6.4 billion (of which $1.7 billion was our proportionate share) at March 31, 2016.

 

At March 31, 2016, we did not guarantee any third-party debt of the co-investment ventures. In our role as the manager, we work with the co-investment ventures to refinance their maturing debt. There can be no assurance that the co-investment ventures will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness on terms as favorable as the maturing debt, or at all. If the ventures are unable to refinance the maturing indebtedness with newly issued debt, they may be able to obtain funds by voluntary capital contributions from us and our partners or by selling assets. Certain of our ventures also have credit facilities, or unencumbered properties, both of which may be used to obtain funds.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Distribution and Dividend Requirements

 

Our dividend policy on our common stock is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure that we will meet the dividend requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, relative to maintaining our REIT status, while still allowing us to retain cash to meet other needs such as capital improvements and other investment activities.

 

We paid a cash dividend of $0.42 per common share for the first quarter of 2016. Our future common stock dividends may vary and will be determined by our board of directors upon the circumstances prevailing at the time, including our financial condition, operating results and REIT distribution requirements, and may be adjusted at the discretion of the board of directors during the year.

 

38

 


 

At March 31, 2016, we had one series of preferred stock outstanding, the series Q. The annual dividend rate is 8.54% per share and dividends are payable quarterly in arrears.

 

Pursuant to the terms of our preferred stock, we are restricted from declaring or paying any dividend with respect to our common stock unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the preferred stock have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the relevant dividend period with respect to the preferred stock.

 

Other Commitments

 

On a continuing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition or disposition of individual properties or portfolios of properties.

 

NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

 

See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS/UNITHOLDERS (“FFO”)

 

FFO is a financial measure that is not determined in accordance with GAAP, but is a measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings. Although the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has published a definition of FFO, modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business.

 

FFO is not meant to represent a comprehensive system of financial reporting and does not present, nor do we intend it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and operating performance. We believe that FFO is only meaningful when it is used in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP. Furthermore, we believe the consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide the most meaningful picture of our financial condition.

 

NAREIT’s FFO measure adjusts net earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated properties. We agree that these NAREIT adjustments are useful to investors for the following reasons:

 

·

historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes, through depreciation charges, that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. NAREIT stated in its White Paper on FFO “since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.” Consequently, NAREIT’s definition of FFO reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time and depreciation charges required by GAAP do not reflect the underlying economic realities. We exclude depreciation from our unconsolidated entities and the third parties’ share of our consolidated ventures.

 

·

REITs were created in order to encourage public ownership of real estate as an asset class through investment in firms that were in the business of long-term ownership and management of real estate. The exclusion, in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, of gains and losses from the sales, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’s activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. We include the gains and losses (including impairment charges) from dispositions of land and development properties, as well as our proportionate share of the gains and losses (including impairment charges) from dispositions of development properties recognized by our unconsolidated and consolidated entities, in our definition of FFO. We exclude the gain on revaluation of equity investments upon acquisition of a controlling interest from our definition of FFO.

 

Our FFO Measures

 

At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO measure for the REIT industry, it also recognized that “management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community.” We believe stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts who review our operating results are best served by a defined FFO measure that includes other adjustments to net earnings computed under GAAP in addition to those included in the NAREIT defined measure of FFO. Our FFO measures are used by management in analyzing our business and the performance of our properties and we believe that it is important that stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand the measures management uses.

 

We calculate our FFO measures, as defined below, based on our proportionate ownership share of both our unconsolidated and consolidated ventures. We reflect our share of our FFO measures for unconsolidated ventures by applying our average ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our FFO measures to remove the third party ownership share of the applicable reconciling items based on average ownership percentage for the applicable periods. 

 

We use these FFO measures, including by segment and region, to: (i) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions; (ii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iii) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (iv) assess our performance as compared with similar real estate companies and the industry in general; and (v) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Because we make decisions with regard to our performance with a long-term outlook, we believe it is appropriate to remove the effects of short-term items that we do not expect to affect the underlying long-term performance of the properties. The long-term performance of our properties is principally driven by rental revenue. While not infrequent or unusual, these additional items we exclude in calculating FFO, as defined by Prologis, defined below, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and negative short-term effects on our results of operations in inconsistent and unpredictable directions that are not relevant to our long-term outlook.

 

39

 


 

We use our FFO measures as supplemental financial measures of operating performance. We do not use our FFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance, as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.

 

FFO, as defined by Prologis attributable to common stockholders and unitholders (“FFO, as defined by Prologis”)

 

To arrive at FFO, as defined by Prologis, we adjust the NAREIT defined FFO measure to exclude:

 

·

deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries;

 

·

current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income tax benefit in GAAP earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure;

 

·

unhedged foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from debt transactions between us and our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated entities;

 

·

foreign currency exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement (based on current foreign currency exchange rates) of certain third-party debt of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated entities; and  

 

·

mark-to-market adjustments and related amortization of debt discounts associated with derivative financial instruments.

 

We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in planning and executing our business strategy.

 

Core FFO attributable to common stockholders and unitholders (“Core FFO”)

 

In addition to FFO, as defined by Prologis, we also use Core FFO. To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust FFO, as defined by Prologis, to exclude the following recurring and nonrecurring items that we recognized directly in FFO, as defined by Prologis:

 

·

gains or losses from contribution or sale of land or development properties;

 

·

income tax expense related to the sale of investments in real estate and third-party acquisition costs related to the acquisition of real estate;

 

·

impairment charges recognized related to our investments in real estate generally as a result of our change in intent to contribute or sell these properties;

 

·

gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt and redemption and repurchase of preferred stock; and

 

·

expenses related to natural disasters.

 

We believe it is appropriate to further adjust our FFO, as defined by Prologis for certain recurring items as they were driven by transactional activity and factors relating to the financial and real estate markets, rather than factors specific to the on-going operating performance of our properties or investments. The impairment charges we have recognized were primarily based on valuations of real estate, which had declined due to market conditions, that we no longer expected to hold for long-term investment. Over the last few years, we made it a priority to strengthen our financial position by reducing our debt, our investment in certain low yielding assets and our exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. As a result, we changed our intent to sell or contribute certain of our real estate properties and recorded impairment charges when we did not expect to recover the costs of our investment. Also, we purchased portions of our debt securities when we believed it was advantageous to do so, which was based on market conditions, and in an effort to lower our borrowing costs and extend our debt maturities. As a result, we have recognized net gains or losses on the early extinguishment of certain debt due to the financial market conditions at that time.

 

We analyze our operating performance primarily by the rental revenue of our real estate and the revenue driven by our strategic capital business, net of operating, administrative and financing expenses. This income stream is not directly impacted by fluctuations in the market value of our investments in real estate or debt securities. Although these items discussed above have had a material impact on our operations and are reflected in our financial statements, the removal of the effects of these items allows us to better understand the core operating performance of our properties over the long term.

 

We use Core FFO, including by segment and region, to: (i) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison to expected results and results of previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions; (ii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iii) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (iv) provide guidance to the financial markets to understand our expected operating performance; (v) assess our operating performance as compared to similar real estate companies and the industry in general; and (vi) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Because we make decisions with regard to our performance with a long-term outlook, we believe it is appropriate to remove the effects of items that we do not expect to affect the underlying long-term performance of the properties we own. As noted above, we believe the long-term performance of our properties is principally driven by rental revenue. We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in planning and executing our business strategy.

Limitations on the use of our FFO measures

 

While we believe our defined FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREIT’s nor our measures of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant economic components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Accordingly, these are only a few of the many measures we use when analyzing our business. Some of these limitations are:

 

·

The current income tax expenses and acquisition costs that are excluded from our defined FFO measures represent the taxes and transaction costs that are payable.

 

·

Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are excluded from FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Furthermore, the amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of industrial properties are not reflected in FFO.

 

·

Gains or losses from non-development property acquisitions and dispositions or impairment charges related to expected dispositions represent changes in value of the properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO does not capture realized changes in the value of acquired or disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions.

 

·

The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our defined FFO measures result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have to be settled at some future point. Our defined FFO measures do not currently reflect any income or expense that may result from such settlement.

 

·

The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our defined FFO measures are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO measures are limited in that they do not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements.

 

·

The gains and losses on extinguishment of debt that we exclude from our Core FFO, may provide a benefit or cost to us as we may be settling our debt at less or more than our future obligation.

 

·

The natural disaster expenses that we exclude from Core FFO are costs that we have incurred.

 

We compensate for these limitations by using our FFO measures only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP when making our decisions. This information should be read with our complete consolidated financial statements prepared under GAAP. To assist investors in compensating for these limitations, we reconcile our defined FFO measures to our net earnings computed under GAAP for three months ended March 31 as follows (in millions).

ITEM 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

 

We are exposed to the impact of foreign-exchange related variability and earnings volatility on our foreign investments and interest rate changes. See our risk factors in Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2015. See also Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more information about our derivative financial instruments.

 

41

 


 

We monitor our market risk exposures using a sensitivity analysis. Our sensitivity analysis estimates the exposure to market risk sensitive instruments assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse change in exchange or interest rates at March 31, 2016. The results of the sensitivity analysis are summarized in the following sections. The sensitivity analysis is of limited predictive value. As a result, revenues and expenses, as well as our ultimate realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during a future period, hedging strategies at the time and the prevailing interest and foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We are exposed to foreign exchange-related variability and earnings volatility on our foreign investments. Foreign currency market risk is the possibility that our financial results or financial position could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. At March 31, 2016, we had net equity of approximately $1.8 billion, or 9.3% of total net equity, denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, after consideration of our derivative and nonderivative financial instruments. Based on our sensitivity analysis, a 10% reduction in exchange rates would cause a reduction of $180 million to our net equity.

 

At March 31, 2016, we had foreign currency forward contracts, which were designated and qualify as net investment hedges, with an aggregate notional amount of $486 million to hedge a portion of our investments in the United Kingdom and Canada. We also have foreign currency forward contracts, which were designated and qualify as cash flow hedges, with an aggregate notional amount of $2 million to hedge cash payments for development in Mexico. On the basis of our sensitivity analysis, a weakening of the U.S. dollar against the British pound sterling, Canadian dollar and Mexican peso by 10% would result in a $49 million negative change in our cash flows on settlement. In addition, we also have British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, euro and Japanese yen forward and option contracts, which were not designated as hedges, and have an aggregate notional amount of $638 million to mitigate risk associated with the translation of the projected financial results of our subsidiaries in Europe, Canada and Japan. A weakening of the U.S. dollar against these currencies by 10% would result in a $64 million negative change in our net income on settlement.

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We also are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes on future earnings and cash flows. At March 31, 2016, we had $2.3 billion of variable rate debt outstanding, of which $1.9 billion was outstanding on our term loans, $307 million was outstanding on our credit facilities and $108 million was outstanding on secured mortgage debt. At March 31, 2016, we had interest rate swap agreements to fix $652 million of our Japanese yen term loans (¥41 billion) and our Canadian term loan (CAD $372 million). During the three months ended March 31, 2016, we had weighted average daily outstanding borrowings of $35 million on our variable rate credit facilities. On the basis of our sensitivity analysis, a 10% adverse change in interest rates based on our average outstanding variable rate debt balances not subject to interest rate swap agreements during the period would result in additional interest expense of $2 million, which equates to a change in interest rates of 17 basis points.

Controls and Procedures (The Parent)

 

The Parent carried out an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of management, including the chief executive officer and chief financial officer, of the effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c)) under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) at March 31, 2016. On the basis of this evaluation, the chief executive officer and the chief financial officer have concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that the information required to be disclosed in reports that are filed or submitted under the Exchange Act are recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and forms.

 

No changes in the internal controls over financial reporting during the most recent fiscal quarter have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, internal control over financial reporting.
