Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following information should be read in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and with our 2023 Annual Report.
OVERVIEW (dollars in thousands, except per square foot data)
We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, organized under Maryland law. As of June 30, 2024, our portfolio was comprised of 411 properties containing approximately 59,893,000 rentable square feet located in 39 states with 95.4% occupancy leased to 300 different tenants. As of June 30, 2024, we also owned a 22% equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture.
Our portfolio as of June 30, 2024 is summarized below (square feet in thousands):

(1) Based on annualized rental revenues as of June 30, 2024.
During the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, our rental income and net operating income, or NOI, increased compared to the 2023 period primarily due to leasing activity and rent resets at our properties. Long-term e-commerce trends and supply chain resiliency have resulted in high occupancy and increases in rents. We believe customer service expectations, growth in the number of households and demand for supply chain resiliency will keep demand for industrial properties strong for the foreseeable future. However, inflationary pressures and high interest rates in the United States and globally, and global geopolitical hostilities and tensions, have given rise to economic uncertainty and have caused disruptions in the financial markets. These conditions have increased our cost of capital and negatively impacted our ability to reduce our leverage. An economic recession, or continued or intensified disruptions in the financial markets, could adversely affect our financial condition and that of our tenants, could adversely impact the ability or willingness of our tenants to renew our leases or pay rent to us, may restrict our access to and would likely increase our cost of capital, may impact our ability to sell properties and may cause the values of our properties and of our common shares or other securities to decline.

(2) Annualized rental revenues are as of June 30, 2024.
As of June 30, 2024, subsidiaries of FedEx and Amazon leased 22.4% and 7.9% of our total leased square feet, respectively, and represented 29.0% and 6.8% of our total annualized rental revenues, respectively.
Mainland Properties. As of June 30, 2024, occupancy at our Mainland Properties was 98.9% and represented 72.4% of our annualized rental revenues. We generally will seek to renew or extend the terms of leases at our Mainland Properties as their expirations approach. A majority of the leases at our Mainland Properties include periodic set dollar amount or percentage increases that increase the cash rent payable to us. Due to the capital that many of the tenants in our Mainland Properties have invested in these properties and because many of these properties appear to be of strategic importance to the tenants’ businesses, we believe that it is likely that these tenants will renew or extend their leases prior to their expirations. If we are unable to extend or renew our leases, it may be time consuming and expensive to relet some of these properties and the terms of any leases we may enter may be less favorable to us than the terms of our existing leases for those properties.
Hawaii Properties. As of June 30, 2024, occupancy at our Hawaii Properties was 86.1% and represented 27.6% of our annualized rental revenues. As of June 30, 2024, certain of our Hawaii Properties are lands leased for rents that periodically reset based on fair market values, generally every 10 years. Revenues from our Hawaii Properties have generally increased as rents under the leases for those properties have been reset or renewed. Lease renewals, lease extensions, new leases and rental rates for our Hawaii Properties in the future will depend on prevailing market conditions when these lease renewals, lease extensions, new leases and rental rates are set. As rent reset dates or lease expirations approach at our Hawaii Properties, we generally negotiate with existing or new tenants for new lease terms. If we are unable to reach an agreement with a tenant on a rent reset, our Hawaii Properties’ leases typically provide that rent is reset based on an appraisal process. Due to the limited availability of land suitable for industrial uses that might compete with our Hawaii Properties, we believe that our Hawaii Properties offer the potential for future rent growth as a result of periodic rent resets, lease extensions and new leasing.

Total $ 22,744
As of June 30, 2024, $22,564, or 5.1%, of our annualized rental revenues are included in leases scheduled to expire by June 30, 2025 and 4.6% of our rentable square feet are currently vacant. Rental rates for which available space may be leased in the future will depend on prevailing market conditions when lease extensions, lease renewals or new leases are negotiated. Whenever we extend, renew or enter new leases for our properties, we intend to seek rents that are equal to or higher than our historical rents for the same properties. Despite our prior experience with rent resets, lease extensions and new leases in Hawaii, our ability to increase rents when rents reset, leases are extended or leases expire depends upon market conditions, which are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot be sure that the historical increases achieved at our Hawaii Properties will continue in the future.
Tenant Review Process. Our manager, RMR, conducts a tenant review process for us. RMR assesses tenants on an individual basis based on various applicable credit criteria. In general, depending on facts and circumstances, RMR evaluates the creditworthiness of a tenant based on information that is provided by the tenant and, in some cases, information that is publicly available or obtained from third party sources. RMR also may use a third party service to monitor the credit ratings of debt securities of our existing tenants whose debt securities are rated by a nationally recognized credit rating agency.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of results for the three months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended June 30, 2023.
Rental income. Rental income increased primarily due to increases from our leasing activity and rent resets.
Other operating expenses . Other operating expenses increased primarily due to increases in insurance expenses at certain of our properties.
21
Table of Contents
Depreciation and amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization primarily reflects certain leasing related assets becoming fully amortized after July 1, 2023, partially offset by an increase in depreciation of improvements made to certain of our properties after July 1, 2023.
General and administrative. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to decreases in legal and other professional fees and franchise taxes, partially offset by increases in our equity based compensation and in our business management fees during the 2024 period.
Loss on impairment of real estate. During the 2023 period, we recognized a loss on impairment of real estate on one property that was classified as held for sale.
Interest income. The increase in interest income is primarily due to higher interest rates and average cash balances during the 2024 period as compared to the 2023 period.
Interest expense. In March 2024, our consolidated joint venture exercised the first of its three, one year options to extend the maturity date of the Mountain Floating Rate Loan and purchased a one year interest rate cap for $26,175 and reduced the weighted average interest rate from 6.17% to 5.81%. The increase in interest expense is primarily due to increased amortization related to the cost of the interest rate cap, partially offset by decreased weighted average interest costs and amortization of debt issuance costs related to the Mountain Floating Rate Loan.
Loss on early extinguishment of debt. Loss on early extinguishment of debt primarily relates to prepayment penalties incurred upon the repayment of four mortgage notes aggregating $35,910 in the 2023 period.
Income tax expense. Income tax expense primarily reflects state income taxes payable in certain jurisdictions.
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint venture. Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint venture represents the change in the fair value of our investment in the unconsolidated joint venture.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures (dollars in thousands, except per share data)
We present certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the applicable Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, rules, including NOI, funds from operations, or FFO, attributable to common shareholders and normalized funds from operations, or Normalized FFO, attributable to common shareholders. These measures do not represent cash generated by operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as alternatives to net loss or net loss attributable to common shareholders, as indicators of our operating performance or as measures of our liquidity. These measures should be considered in conjunction with net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). We consider these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net loss and net loss attributable to common shareholders. We believe these measures provide useful information to investors because by excluding the effects of certain historical amounts, such as depreciation and amortization expense, they may facilitate a comparison of our operating performance between periods and with other REITs and, in the case of NOI, reflecting only those income and expense items that are generated and incurred at the property level may help both investors and management to understand the operations of our properties.
Net Operating Income
We calculate NOI as shown below. We define NOI as income from our rental of real estate less our property operating expenses. The calculation of NOI excludes certain components of net loss in order to provide results that are more closely related to our property level results of operations. NOI excludes depreciation and amortization expense. We use NOI to evaluate individual and company-wide property level performance. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate NOI differently than we do.
The following table presents the reconciliation of net loss to NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders and Normalized Funds From Operations Attributable to Common Shareholders
We calculate FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders as shown below. FFO attributable to common shareholders is calculated on the basis defined by The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts, which is: (1) net loss attributable to common shareholders calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of real estate and equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint venture; (2) plus real estate depreciation and amortization of our properties and our proportionate share of FFO from unconsolidated joint venture properties; (3) minus FFO adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest; and (4) certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. In calculating Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, we adjust for certain non-recurring items shown below, including adjustments for such items related to the unconsolidated joint venture, if any.

Table of Contents
FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders are among the factors considered by our Board of Trustees when determining the amount of distributions to our shareholders. Other factors include, but are not limited to, requirements to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT, limitations in the agreements governing our debt, the availability to us of debt and equity capital, our distribution rate as a percentage of the trading price of our common shares, or dividend yield, and our dividend yield compared to the dividend yields of other industrial REITs, our expectation of our future capital requirements and operating performance and our expected needs for and availability of cash to pay our obligations. Other real estate companies and REITs may calculate FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders differently than we do.
The following table presents our calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders and reconciliations of net loss attributable to common shareholders to FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES (dollars in thousands)
Our principal sources of funds to meet our operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders are rents from tenants at our properties. As of June 30, 2024, investment grade rated tenants, subsidiaries of investment grade rated parent entities or our Hawaii land leases represented approximately 77% of our annualized rental revenues and only 5.1% of our annualized rental revenues were from leases expiring over the next 12 months. We believe that these sources of funds will be sufficient to meet our operating and capital expenses, pay debt service obligations and make distributions to our shareholders for the next 12 months and for the foreseeable future thereafter.
The following is a summary of our sources and uses of cash flows for the periods presented, as reflected in our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
Six Months Ended June 30,
2024 2023
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents at beginning of period $ 245,723 $ 140,780
Net cash provided by (used in):
Operating activities 18,839 10,631
Investing activities 4,648 17,387
Financing activities (10,641) 41,570
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and cash equivalents at end of period $ 258,569 $ 210,368

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the 2023 period is primarily due to higher cash flows from our properties and favorable changes in working capital in the 2024 period. The decrease in net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to the 2023 period is primarily due to costs associated with the purchase of an interest rate cap for $26,175 in the 2024 period, partially offset by increased proceeds from the settlement of our interest rate caps and a reduction in our real estate improvements. The change in net cash used in financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to net cash provided by financing activities for the 2023 period was primarily due to our consolidated joint venture obtaining a $91,000 fixed rate, interest only mortgage loan secured by four properties owned by our consolidated joint venture in the 2023 period. A portion of the net proceeds was used to repay four then outstanding mortgage loans of our consolidated joint venture with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $35,910 in the 2023 period.
Our Operating Liquidity and Resources
Our future cash flows from operating activities will depend primarily upon our ability to:
• collect rents from our tenants when due;
• maintain the occupancy of, and maintain or increase the rental rates at, our properties; and
• control our operating cost increases, including interest and other financing costs.
Our Investing and Financing Liquidity and Resources (dollars in thousands, except per share and per square foot data)
As of June 30, 2024, we had cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents, of $146,150. To maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, we generally are required to distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income annually, subject to specified adjustments and excluding any net capital gain. This distribution requirement limits our ability to retain earnings and thereby provide capital for our operations or acquisitions. We may use our cash and cash equivalents on hand, the cash flow from our operations, net proceeds from any sales of assets and net proceeds of offerings of equity or debt securities to fund our distributions to our shareholders.
We expect to fund any future property acquisitions, developments and redevelopments with proceeds we may receive in connection with any additional properties we may sell to our joint ventures, equity contributions from any third party investors in our joint ventures or any future joint ventures, and net proceeds from offerings of equity or debt securities. We may also assume mortgage loans or incur debt in connection with future acquisitions, developments and redevelopments. When the maturities of our debt approach or we desire to reduce our leverage or refinance maturing debt, we intend to explore refinancing alternatives, property sales or sales of equity interests in joint ventures. Such alternatives may include incurring term debt, obtaining financing secured by mortgages on properties we own, issuing new equity or debt securities, obtaining a revolving credit facility, participating or selling equity interests in joint ventures or selling properties. Further, any issuances of our equity securities may be dilutive to our existing shareholders. Although we cannot be sure that we will be successful in completing any particular type of financing, we believe that we will have access to financing, such as debt or equity offerings, to fund capital expenditures, future acquisitions, development, redevelopment and other activities and to pay our obligations.

Consolidated Joint Venture
We own a 61% equity interest in our consolidated joint venture, which owns 94 properties in 27 states totaling approximately 20,981,000 rentable square feet. We control this consolidated joint venture and therefore account for the properties owned by this joint venture on a consolidated basis in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We recognized net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 of $10,314 and $10,676, respectively, and $20,828 and $21,404 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. As of June 30, 2024, our consolidated joint venture had total assets of $2,964,265 and total liabilities of $1,769,499.
Unconsolidated Joint Venture
We own a 22% equity interest in the unconsolidated joint venture, which owns 18 industrial properties located in 12 states totaling approximately 11,726,000 rentable square feet. We account for the unconsolidated joint venture using the equity method of accounting under the fair value option. We recognize changes in the fair value of our investment in the unconsolidated joint venture as equity in earnings of the unconsolidated joint venture in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss). The unconsolidated joint venture made aggregate cash distributions to us of $990 for both the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and $1,980 for both the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
Indebtedness
The ILPT Floating Rate Loan, which is secured by 104 of our properties, matures in October 2024, subject to three, one year extension options, and requires that interest be paid at an annual rate of SOFR plus a weighted average premium of 3.93%. The weighted average interest rate under the ILPT Floating Rate Loan was 6.18%, including the impact of our interest rate cap on SOFR of 2.25%, as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we have the option to prepay the ILPT Floating Rate Loan in full or in part at any time at par with no premium. As of July 30, 2024, we intend to exercise the first of our three, one year options to extend the maturity of this loan.

The Mountain Floating Rate Loan matures in March 2025, subject to two remaining one year extension options, and requires that interest be paid at an annual rate of SOFR plus a premium of 2.77%. In March 2024, in connection with the exercise of its option to extend the maturity date of this loan to March 2025, our consolidated joint venture purchased a one year interest rate cap for $26,175 with a SOFR strike rate equal to 3.04%, which replaced the previous interest rate cap with a SOFR strike rate equal to 3.40%. As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the interest rate under the Mountain Floating Rate Loan was 5.81% and 6.17%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate under the Mountain Floating Rate Loan was 5.81% and 5.95% for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024, respectively, including the impact of our interest rate caps. The weighted average annual interest rate under the Mountain Floating Rate Loan was 6.17% for both the three and six months ended June 30, 2023, including the impact of our interest rate caps. Subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, we have the option to prepay up to $280,000 of the Mountain Floating Rate Loan at par with no premium, and to prepay the balance of the Mountain Floating Rate Loan at any time, subject to a premium.
The one year options to extend the ILPT Floating Rate Loan and the Mountain Floating Rate Loan require, among other things, that we obtain a replacement interest rate cap, as defined in the applicable agreement.
In May 2023, our consolidated joint venture obtained a $91,000 fixed rate, interest only mortgage loan secured by four properties owned by our consolidated joint venture. This mortgage loan matures in June 2030 and requires that interest be paid at an annual rate of 6.25%. A portion of the net proceeds from this mortgage loan was used to repay four then outstanding mortgage loans of our consolidated joint venture with an aggregate outstanding principal balance of $35,910 and a weighted average interest rate of 3.70%. We recognized a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $359 for the six months ended June 30, 2023 in conjunction with the repayment of these mortgage loans.
As of June 30, 2024, we had an aggregate principal amount of $4,316,970 of indebtedness, including the ILPT Floating Rate Loan, the Mountain Floating Rate Loan, our $700,000 mortgage loan and our $650,000 mortgage loan, scheduled to mature between 2024 and 2038.
The agreements and related documents governing the ILPT Floating Rate Loan, the Mountain Floating Rate Loan, our $700,000 mortgage loan and our $650,000 mortgage loan contain customary covenants, provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default and, in the case of the $650,000 mortgage loan, also require us to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth of at least $250,000 and liquidity of at least $15,000. As of June 30, 2024, we believe that we were in compliance with all of the covenants and other terms under the agreements governing these loans.
