SAN FRANCISCO (July 18, 2017) – Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD), the global leader in logistics real estate, today reported results for the second quarter of 2017.

Net earnings per diluted share was $0.50 compared with $0.52 for the same period in 2016. Core funds from operations* per diluted share was $0.84 compared with $0.60 for the same period in 2016. The impact from net promote income for the quarter was $0.18 per share.

“Our second quarter results were excellent and reflect record rent increases and higher earnings from our strategic capital business,” said Hamid R. Moghadam, chairman and CEO, Prologis. “Market conditions continue to be healthy. On the margin, we are now even more positive as we see increased activity from our customers and a greater willingness to compete and pay for quality locations. Market rent growth surprised us to the upside, and the mark-to-market of our portfolio increased to 13 percent globally, which positions us for strong operating performance for the next several years.”

As previously announced, Prologis entered into an agreement to acquire its partner’s interest in its Brazil platform for approximately R$1.2 billion (US$362) million. The transaction is expected to close this year, at which point we will own 100% of the Brazil platform.

Subsequent to quarter-end, Prologis contributed $2.8 billion of the assets formerly owned by the North American Industrial Fund (NAIF) to its Prologis Targeted U.S. Logistics Fund (USLF) at a 5.4 percent stabilized capitalization rate. The NAIF portfolio, primarily developed by Prologis, is highly complementary to USLF. Prologis received cash proceeds of $720 million and additional units, which increased its interest in USLF to 27 percent. USLF raised over $950 million from 14 new and existing investors to facilitate this transaction. With this activity, the company now has 9 co-investment ventures.

During the second quarter, the company and its co-investment ventures completed $2.9 billion of financings, principally denominated in sterling and yen. In aggregate, this activity reduced Prologis’ weighted average cost of debt by 10 basis points to 3 percent and extended maturities by 6 months to 5.3 years. The company ended the quarter with 95 percent USD net equity exposure and liquidity of $3.7 billion.

At the midpoint, guidance for net earnings per diluted share increased $1.05 and Core FFO* per diluted share increased $0.05.

“The promote we earned this quarter was above our forecast, driven by rising property values in our USLF portfolio from higher-than-expected rents and slight cap rate compression,” said Thomas S. Olinger, chief financial officer, Prologis. “The combination of this promote income and higher operational performance led us to raise the midpoint of our full-year earnings guidance ranges.”

The earnings guidance described above includes potential future gains (losses) recognized from real estate transactions but excludes any future foreign currency or derivative gains or losses as these items are difficult to predict. In reconciling from net earnings to Core FFO*, Prologis makes certain adjustments, including but not limited to real estate depreciation and amortization expense, gains (losses) recognized from real estate transactions and early extinguishment of debt, impairment charges, deferred taxes and unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency or derivative activity. The difference between the company's Core FFO* and net earnings guidance for 2017 relates predominantly to these items. Please refer to our second quarter Supplemental Information, which is available on our Investor Relations website at www.ir.prologis.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov for a definition of Core FFO* and other non-GAAP measures used by Prologis, along with reconciliations of these items to the closest GAAP measure for our results and guidance.
