Market growth indicators remain strong
SAN FRANCISCO (July 18, 2022) – Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD), the global leader in logistics real estate, today reported results for the second quarter of 2022.

During the second quarter, Prologis and its co-investment ventures issued $5.1 billion of debt at a weighted average interest rate of 1.4 percent. This activity includes $4.0 billion from refinancing our lines of credit and $1.1 billion in term loans, privately placed notes and green bonds. The company has maintained its leading liquidity position with approximately $5.2 billion in cash and availability on its credit facilities.
As of June 30, 2022, debt as a percentage of total market capitalization was 18.5 percent, and the company’s weighted average interest rate on its share of total debt was 1.8 percent with a weighted average term of 9.7 years.
"We are entering this uncertain economic environment in a position of financial strength, bolstered by our lease mark-to-market of 56 percent, liquidity of over $5 billion, low leverage and insulated earnings from foreign exchange movements through the next four years," said Timothy D. Arndt, chief financial officer, Prologis. “We feel great about our business and are confident in our ability to deliver on the significant organic growth embedded in our portfolio.”

A. |
The earnings guidance described above does not give effect to the recently announced acquisition of Duke Realty Corporation. |
|
The earnings guidance described above includes potential gains recognized from real estate transactions but excludes any future or potential foreign currency or derivative gains or losses as our guidance assumes constant foreign currency rates. 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 2022 relates predominantly to these items. Please refer to our quarterly Supplemental Information, which is available on our Investor Relations website at https://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.
