Significant Accomplishments in 2009 Position Company for Future Opportunities
“We began 2009 with an action plan and aggressive goals related to asset dispositions, debt reduction and development portfolio leasing,” said Walter C. Rakowich, chief executive officer. “Throughout the year, we made tough choices and remained highly focused on stabilizing the company. We are pleased to have accomplished our goals, putting the company on firm financial footing and positioning us to take advantage of opportunities as market conditions improve.”
Among ProLogis’ specific goals for 2009 were to: reduce debt by $2 billion, complete $1.5 to $1.7 billion of asset dispositions and contributions to property funds (exclusive of the sale of certain Asian operations) and achieve static development portfolio leasing of 60 to 70 percent. At year end 2009, the company had reduced debt by $2.7 billion, completed $1.53 billion of property dispositions and contributions and achieved static development portfolio leasing of 68.2 percent.
Continued Signs of Stabilization and Improvement in Property Markets
“While focusing on our action plan, we also worked diligently to maintain stable occupancies in our core portfolio,” Rakowich added. “The bottoming of market occupancies and rents that we began to see in mid-2009 held up in the fourth quarter, with some markets showing improvement. For the top 31 North American markets we track, overall net demand turned positive in the fourth quarter, and we saw similar pockets of positive take-up in Europe. And, although we expect net effective rental rates on turnovers to be negative throughout 2010, we believe improving occupancies and the continued lack of new supply will pave the way for improving rental rates in 2011.”
ProLogis’ non-development portfolio was 92.4 percent leased at the end of the fourth quarter, down slightly compared with 92.7 percent leased at September 30. Same-store net operating income (SS NOI), as adjusted (excluding same-store assets associated with the company’s development portfolio), decreased 4.2 percent, a slight improvement over the third quarter SS NOI decline. Net effective rental rates on turnover of 23.6 million square feet, or 6.0 percent of the adjusted same-store pool, were down 11.7 percent for the quarter, representing an improvement over the third quarter decline.
Build-to-Suit Development Demand Supports Reductions in Land Position
“While new speculative development has remained virtually non-existent, during the fourth quarter we continued to see demand for build-to-suit development from customers whose supply chain optimization requirements could not be met with the available supply of space,” said Ted R. Antenucci, chief investment officer. ProLogis’ fourth quarter starts consisted of a 667,000-square-foot facility for a major home improvement retailer in Southern California and a 504,000-square-foot facility for a leading UK retailer in Scotland. Including joint venture partner capital contributions, total expected investment for all build-to-suit developments started in the second half of 2009 is $336 million.
“Given the continued interest from customers in build-to-suits, we expect to start $700 to $800 million of new development in 2010, primarily in Europe and Asia. We also will continue to pursue land sales, which when combined with new development, will allow us to begin to monetize roughly $350 to $400 million of land in 2010,” Antenucci added.
Strategic Repositioning of Asset Base
“In 2009, we used the proceeds from nearly $2.9 billion of contributions and dispositions, including the sale of certain Asian operations, to reduce debt and fund our development portfolio,” said Rakowich. “Having stabilized our balance sheet, we are now looking to fund new development activity in a slightly different, leverage-neutral manner. Due to improving property values and growing institutional demand for quality properties, in 2010 we plan to generate $1.3 to $1.5 billion of proceeds from sales of existing assets and contributions to funds, primarily in the United States, and use the proceeds to fund the remaining costs associated with our existing development portfolio as well as 2010 development starts. This approach will allow us to retain more of our non-US development on our balance sheet, thereby improving the geographic diversification of our direct owned assets.”
Continued Financing Progress for ProLogis and Property Funds
“We continued to focus on further extending and smoothing the debt maturities both on ProLogis’ balance sheet and in our property funds,” said William E. Sullivan, chief financial officer. “In the fourth quarter, we issued $600 million of 10-year, ProLogis senior notes and closed on a $108 million secured financing in Japan on our balance sheet. Since the beginning of the fourth quarter, we closed on euro 886 million of financings in our European funds, effectively reducing 2010 maturities within those funds to approximately euro 327 million. This is significant progress from the over euro 1.8 billion of 2010 fund debt maturities we were faced with at the beginning of 2009.”
Guidance for 2010
ProLogis established full-year 2010 FFO guidance, excluding significant non-cash items, of $0.74 to $0.78 per share, of which approximately $0.10 relates to expected gains on dispositions of development and land. Net earnings are expected to be between $0.25 and $0.29 per diluted share.

Notes to Financial Statements Please also refer to our annual and quarterly financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K and 10-Q for further information about us and our business. Certain 2008 amounts included in our financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the 2009 presentation. (1) In May 2008, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued a new standard that requires separate accounting for the debt and equity components of certain convertible debt. The value assigned to the debt component is the estimated fair value of a similar bond without the conversion feature at the time of issuance, which would result in the debt being recorded at a discount. The resulting debt discount is amortized through the first redeemable option date as additional non-cash interest expense. We adopted this standard on January 1, 2009, as required, on a retroactive basis for the convertible notes we issued in 2007 and 2008. As a result, we restated our 2008 results to reflect the additional interest expense and the additional capitalized interest related to our development activities for both properties we currently own, as well as properties that were contributed during the applicable periods. This restatement impacted earnings and FFO. The following tables illustrate the impact of the restatement on our Consolidated Balance Sheets and Consolidated Statements of Operations and FFO for these periods (in thousands): As of December 31, 2008 ------------------------------------------ As Reported Adjustments As Restated ----------- ----------- ----------- Consolidated Balance Sheet: ------------ Net investments in real estate assets $15,706,172 $ 19,100 $15,725,272 Other assets $ 1,129,182 $ (2,189) $ 1,126,993 Debt $11,007,636 $(296,268) $10,711,368 Additional paid in capital $ 6,688,615 $ 381,493 $ 7,070,108 Distributions in excess of net earnings $ (587,199) $ (68,314) $ (655,513) For the Three Months Ended, December 31, 2008 --------------------------------------------- As Reported Adjustments(a) As Restated ----------- -------------- ----------- (before 2009 discontinued operations adjustment) Consolidated Statements of Operations: -------------- Cost of CDFS dispositions $1,102,053 $ 2,878 $1,104,931 Interest expense, net of capitalization $ 88,737 $ 11,289 $ 100,026 Net loss attributable to controlling interests $ (880,713) $(14,167) $ (894,880) For the Twelve Months Ended, December 31, 2008 ---------------------------------------------- As Reported Adjustments (a) As Restated ----------- --------------- ----------- (before 2009 discontinued operations adjustment) Consolidated Statements of Operations: --------------- Cost of CDFS dispositions $3,836,519 $ 4,200 $3,840,719 Interest expense, net of capitalization $ 341,305 $ 42,830 $ 384,135 Net loss attributable to controlling interests $ (406,773) $(47,030) $ (453,803) (a) The adjustments are the same in our Consolidated Statements of FFO. (2) On February 9, 2009, we sold our operations in China and our property fund interests in Japan to affiliates of GIC Real Estate, the real estate investment company of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation ("GIC RE"), for total cash consideration of $1.3 billion ($845 million related to China and $500 million related to the Japan investments). We used the proceeds primarily to pay down borrowings on our credit facilities. All of the assets and liabilities associated with our China operations were classified as Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008. In the fourth quarter of 2008, based on the carrying values of these assets and liabilities, as compared with the estimated sales proceeds less costs to sell, we recognized an impairment of $198.2 million. In connection with the sale in the first quarter of 2009, we recognized a $3.3 million gain on sale. In addition, the results of our China operations are presented as discontinued operations in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods. All operating information presented throughout this report excludes China operations. In connection with the sale of our investments in the Japan property funds, we recognized a gain of $180.2 million. The gain is reflected as CDFS Proceeds in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and FFO, as it represents previously deferred gains on the contribution of properties to the property funds based on our ownership interest in the property funds at the time of original contribution of properties. We also recognized $20.5 million in current income tax expense related to the Japan portion of the transaction. In April 2009, we sold one property in Japan to GIC RE for $128.1 million, resulting in a gain on sale of $13.1 million that is reflected as Discontinued Operations – Net Gains on Dispositions of Development Properties and Land Subject to Ground Leases and as Net Gains on Dispositions of Real Estate Properties in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and FFO, respectively. The building and related borrowings were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2008. We continued to manage the Japan properties until July 2009. In connection with the termination of the management agreement, we earned a termination fee of $16.3 million that is included in Property Management and Other Fees and Incentives in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and FFO. (3) During the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2009 in connection with our announced initiatives to reduce debt, we repurchased portions of several series of notes outstanding, the majority of which were at a discount, and extinguished some secured mortgage debt prior to maturity. These transactions resulted in the recognition of net gains or losses and are summarized, as follows (in thousands): For the For the For the Three Three Twelve and Twelve Months Ended Months Ended Months Ended December 31, December 31, December 31, 2009 2009 2008 ------------ ------------ ------------- Convertible Senior Notes: Original principal amount $117,736 $ 653,993 $ - Cash purchase price $102,920 $ 454,023 $ - Senior Notes (a): Original principal amount $224,506 $ 587,698 $309,722 Cash purchase price $226,754 $ 545,618 $216,805 Secured Mortgage Debt: Original principal amount (b) $ - $ 227,017 $ - Cash extinguishment price $ - $ 227,017 $ - Total: Original principal amount $342,242 $1,468,708 $309,722 Cash purchase/ extinguishment price $329,674 $1,226,658 $216,805 Gain (loss) on early extinguishment of debt(c) $ (960) $ 172,258 $ 90,719 (a) Included in the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 is the repurchase of euro 248.7 million ($356.4 million) original principal amount of our Euro senior notes for euro 235.1 million ($338.7 million). (b) In addition, there was an unamortized premium of $11.4 million (recorded at acquisition) that was included in the calculation of the gain on early extinguishment. (c) Represents the difference between the recorded debt (net of the discount or premium) and the consideration we paid to retire the debt. (4) On October 1, 2009, we completed a consent solicitation with regard to certain of our senior notes, and entered into a new supplemental indenture (the Ninth Supplemental Indenture) that amended certain indenture covenants, defined terms and thresholds for certain events of default. We recognized $14.5 million in fees and expenses related to the consent solicitation that are included in General and Administrative Expenses ("G&A") in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and FFO. (5) In August 2009, we amended the Global Line, extending the maturity to August 21, 2012 and reducing the size of our aggregate commitments to $2.25 billion (subject to currency fluctuations) after October 2010. The Global Line will continue to have lender commitments of $3.7 billion (subject to currency fluctuations) until October 2010, although our borrowing capacity may be less. In August 2009, we issued $350 million of senior notes with a stated interest rate of 7.625% and a maturity of August 2014. On October 30, 2009, we issued $600 million of senior notes with a stated interest rate of 7.375% and a maturity of October 2019. We used the proceeds from both issuances primarily to repay borrowings under our Global Line and other debt. (6) On April 14, 2009, we completed a public offering of 174.8 million common shares at a price of $6.60 per share and received net proceeds of $1.1 billion that were used to repay borrowings under our credit facilities. During the third quarter of 2009, we issued 29.8 million shares and received gross proceeds of $331.9 million and paid offering expenses of approximately $6.9 million under our at the market share issuance plan. (7) On January 1, 2009, we adopted the provisions of a new accounting standard that requires noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a component of equity and changes the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. (8) In our Consolidated Statements of Operations, rental income includes the following (in thousands): Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended December 31, December 31, ------------------- ------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 -------- -------- -------- -------- Rental income $169,188 $158,259 $658,462 $669,460 Rental expense recoveries 46,621 47,591 194,775 210,934 Straight-lined rents 11,553 9,346 37,858 33,256 -------- -------- -------- -------- $227,362 $215,196 $891,095 $913,650 ======== ======== ======== ======== (9) In response to market conditions, during the fourth quarter of 2008 we modified our business strategy. As a result, as of December 31, 2008, we have two operating segments - Direct Owned and Investment Management, and we no longer have a CDFS Business segment. We presented the results of operations of our CDFS Business segment separately in 2008. Our direct owned segment represents the direct, long-term ownership of industrial properties. Our investment strategy in this segment focuses primarily on the ownership and leasing of industrial properties in key distribution markets. We consider these properties to be our Core Portfolio. Also included in this segment are operating properties we developed with the intent to contribute the properties to an unconsolidated property fund that we previously referred to as our "CDFS Pipeline" and, beginning December 31, 2008, we now refer to as our Completed Development Portfolio. Our intent is to hold the Core and Development properties, however, we may contribute either Core or Development properties to the property funds, to the extent there is fund capacity, or sell them to third parties. When we contribute or sell Development properties, we recognize FFO to the extent the proceeds received exceed our original investment (i.e. prior to depreciation). However, beginning January 1, 2009, we now present the results as Net Gains on Dispositions, rather than as CDFS Disposition Proceeds and Cost of CDFS Dispositions. In addition, we have industrial properties that are currently under development (also included in our Development Portfolio) and land available for development that are part of this segment as well. The investment management segment represents the investment management of unconsolidated property funds and joint ventures and the properties they own. (10) Beginning in 2009, we are reporting the direct costs associated with our investment management segment for all periods presented as a separate line item "Investment Management Expenses" in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and FFO. These costs include the property management expenses associated with the property-level management of the properties owned by the property funds and joint ventures (previously included in Rental Expenses) and the investment management expenses associated with the asset management of the property funds and joint ventures (previously included in General and Administrative Expenses). In order to allocate the property management expenses between the properties owned by us and the properties owned by the property funds and joint ventures, we use the square feet owned at the beginning of the period by the respective portfolios. See note 2 related to the Japan properties that we no longer manage. (11) As we announced in the fourth quarter of 2008, in response to the difficult economic climate, we initiated G&A reductions with a near- term target of a 20 to 25% reduction in G&A prior to capitalization or allocation. These initiatives include a Reduction in Workforce ("RIF") and reductions to other expenses through various cost savings measures. Due to the changes in our business strategy in the fourth quarter of 2008, we halted the majority of our new development activities, which, along with lower gross G&A, has resulted in lower capitalized G&A. Our G&A included in our Statements of Operations consisted of the following (in thousands): Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended December 31, December 31, ------------------ ------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------- ------- -------- -------- Gross G&A(a) $80,187 $89,299 $294,598 $400,648 Reclassed to discontinued operations, net of capitalized amounts(b) - (8,906) (1,305) (21,721) Capitalized amounts and amounts reported as rental and investment management expenses (28,026) (43,406) (112,807) (201,577) ------- ------- -------- -------- Net G&A $52,161 $36,987 $180,486 $177,350 ======= ======= ======== ======== (a) Included in G&A in the fourth quarter of 2009 is $14.5 million of fees and expenses associated with the consent solicitation discussed in Note 4. (b) G&A costs included in discontinued operations is net of $2.3 million and $11.3 million of capitalized costs for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2008, respectively. (12) During 2009 and 2008, we recorded impairment charges of certain of our real estate properties and other assets as outlined below (in millions): Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended December 31, December 31, ----------------- ----------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------ ------ ------ ------ Included in "Impairment of Real Estate Properties": Land held for development $135.8 $194.2 $137.0 $194.2 Completed and under development properties 3.5 34.8 126.2 34.8 Retail and mixed use properties 46.2 - 46.2 - Land subject to ground leases and other 17.6 - 17.6 - Other real estate investments 4.6 45.7 4.6 45.7 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total impairment of real estate properties $207.7 $274.7 $331.6 $274.7 Included in "Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets": Goodwill $ - $175.4 $ - $175.4 Other assets 157.1 145.2 163.6 145.2 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total impairment of goodwill and other assets $157.1 $320.6 $163.6 $320.6 ------ ------ ------ ------ Total direct owned impairment charges included in continuing operations $364.8 $595.3 $495.2 $595.3 ====== ====== ====== ====== The impairment charges of real estate properties that we recognized in 2008 and 2009 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. Included in the 2009 impairment charges is $9.2 million that should have been recorded in 2008. This amount, along with an additional $3.0 million of deferred tax expense, was recorded in 2009 and relates to a revision of our estimated deferred income tax liabilities associated with our international operations. In order to generate liquidity, we have contributed certain completed properties to property funds (primarily in Europe) and sold or intend to sell certain land parcels or properties to third parties. To the extent these properties are expected to be sold at a loss, we record an impairment charge when the loss is known. The impairment charges related to goodwill that we recognized in the fourth quarter of 2008 and related to other assets that we recognized in 2009 and 2008 were similarly caused by the decline in the real estate markets. (13) The following table represents our share of income (loss) recognized by the property funds related to derivative activity and the sale of real estate properties (in thousands). Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended December 31, December 31, ------------------- --------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------- --------- --------- ---------- Included in Earnings from Unconsolidated Property Funds in our Consolidated Statements of Operations: Derivative gain (loss) $1,394 $ (19,189) $ (6,306) $ (32,278) Gain (loss) from the sale of properties and impairment charges, net $ 946 $(107,887) $ (4,831) $(106,420) Included in FFO from Unconsolidated Property Funds in our Consolidated Statements of FFO: Derivative loss $ - $ (1,182) $(13,867) $ (9,274) Gain (loss) from the sale of properties and impairment charges, net $ 683 $(108,218) $(12,720) $(106,914) In the fourth quarter of 2008 we recognized a loss of $108.2 million representing our share of the loss recognized by PEPR from the sale of its 30% ownership interest in PEPF II. We acquired PEPR's 20% interest in PEPF II in December 2008, and PEPR sold its remaining ownership in PEPF II of approximately 10% to third parties in early 2009. (14) The following table presents the components of interest expense as reflected in our Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands): Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended December 31, December 31, ------------------- ------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 -------- -------- -------- -------- Gross interest expense $101,314 $117,113 $382,899 $477,933 Amortization of discount, net 16,494 18,451 67,542 63,676 Amortization of deferred loan costs 5,877 3,474 17,069 12,238 -------- -------- -------- -------- Interest expense before capitalization 123,685 139,038 467,510 553,847 Capitalized amounts (16,199) (38,724) (94,205) (168,782) -------- -------- -------- -------- Net interest expense $107,486 $100,314 $373,305 $385,065 ======== ======== ======== ======== Gross interest expense decreased in 2009 from 2008 due to significantly lower debt levels, offset by increases in borrowing rates. The decrease in capitalized amounts is due to less development activity. (15) Included in Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Losses), Net, for the twelve months ended December 31, 2009 and 2008, are net foreign currency exchange gains and losses, respectively, related to the remeasurement of inter-company loans between the U.S. and our consolidated subsidiaries in Japan and Europe due to the fluctuations in the exchange rates of U.S. dollars to the yen, the euro and pound sterling during the applicable periods. We do not include the gains and losses related to inter-company loans in our calculation of FFO. (16) The operations of the properties held for sale or disposed of to third parties and the aggregate net gains recognized upon their disposition are presented as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented, unless the property was developed under a pre-sale agreement. As discussed in Note 2 above, all of the assets and liabilities associated with our China operations were classified as Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008, as well as one property in Japan that we sold in April 2009. During 2009, other than our China operations, we disposed of land subject to ground leases and 140 properties (aggregating 14.8 million square feet, 3 of which were development properties) to third parties. This includes a portfolio of 90 properties aggregating 9.6 million square feet that were sold to a single venture during the third quarter in which we retained a 5% interest. We continue to manage these properties. During 2008, we disposed of land subject to ground leases and 15 properties to third parties, including 6 development properties. The income (loss) attributable to these properties was as follows (in thousands): Three Months Ended Twelve Months Ended December 31, December 31, ------------------ ------------------- 2009 2008 2009 2008 ------ ------- ------- -------- Rental income $2,544 $34,582 $50,492 $121,685 Rental expenses (567) (13,422) (14,434) (42,058) Depreciation and amortization (487) (9,012) (11,319) (33,661) Other expenses, net - (16,603) (576) (34,917) ------ ------- ------- -------- Income (loss) attributable to disposed properties $1,490 $(4,455) $24,163 $ 11,049 ====== ======= ======= ======== For purposes of our Consolidated Statements of FFO, we do not segregate discontinued operations. In addition, we include the gains from disposition of land parcels and Completed Development Properties (2009) and CDFS properties (2008) in the calculation of FFO, including those classified as discontinued operations. (17) In connection with purchase accounting, we record all of the acquired assets and liabilities at the estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. For our taxable subsidiaries, we recognize the deferred tax liabilities that represent the tax effect of the difference between the tax basis carried over and the fair values at the date of acquisition. As taxable income is generated in these subsidiaries, we recognize a deferred tax benefit in earnings as a result of the reversal of the deferred tax liability previously recorded at the acquisition date and we record current income tax expense representing the entire current income tax liability. In our calculation of FFO, we only include the current income tax expense to the extent the associated income is recognized for financial reporting purposes.
