• Portfolio operating performance within the company's industrial portfolio:

• Total in-service occupancy at September 30, 2017 of 95.7 percent compared to 96.0 percent at June 30, 2017 and 97.4 percent at September 30, 2016
• Total occupancy, including properties under development, of 93.2 percent at September 30, 2017 compared to 93.5 percent at June 30, 2017 and 95.2 percent at September 30, 2016
• Tenant retention of 70.2 percent for the quarter
• Same-property net operating income growth of 2.2 percent and 3.9 percent for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 compared to the same periods in 2016
• Total leasing activity of 5.9 million square feet for the quarter
• Overall rent growth on new and renewal leases of 15.9 percent for the quarter

• Successful execution of capital transactions:

• Completed the sale of ten properties for a combined sales price of $301 million
• Redeemed $129 million of 6.75 percent unsecured notes with a scheduled maturity of March 2020
• Extension of the company's $1.2 billion unsecured revolving credit facility from January 2019 to January 2022 at a rate (subject to adjustment) of LIBOR plus .875 percent
• Completed $390 million of acquisitions of nine bulk industrial buildings in Tier 1 markets during the quarter
• Started new industrial development projects with expected costs of $230 million 

Jim Connor, Chairman and CEO said, "We enjoyed a successful third quarter of 2017, highlighted by closing on the first tranche of an acquisition, from Bridge Development Partners, LLC, that will ultimately include ten state-of-the-art bulk industrial buildings along with two parcels of undeveloped land (the "Bridge Portfolio"). We also closed on the sale of seven of our remaining nine medical office properties as well as three suburban office buildings, which were our last in the Indianapolis office market.

From an operational standpoint, we maintained a high level of stabilized occupancy, which slightly increased to 98.0 percent. Our lease renewal rate for the quarter was 70.2 percent.

We also continued to see significant rent growth across our portfolio, which we expect to continue in the near future, with rent growth on new and renewal leases executed during the quarter totaling 15.9 percent. We reported 2.2 percent growth in same property net operating income for the quarter which was driven almost entirely by rental rate growth, since we have been operating at peak occupancy levels in our same property portfolio for several quarters now. The previously disclosed hhgregg bankruptcy had a roughly 80 basis point drag on same store net operating income growth for the quarter."

Mark Denien, Executive Vice President and Chief Financial Officer, stated, "We continue to have significant on-balance sheet financing capacity, with $513 million of cash held in escrow for future 1031 exchanges, which should mostly be re-invested in property acquisitions and development projects by the end of this year. We also have $427 million in interest-bearing notes receivable, primarily from the medical office disposition, that will mature over the next three years.

The extension of our revolving credit facility that we just completed will provide us with a secure source of capital. We anticipate finishing the year at a lower-than-targeted level of leverage and in 2018 it is our intention to return to a leverage profile commensurate with our credit rating, which will provide a further source of growth.

Finally, we plan to finalize and announce our special dividend requirement, which should be consistent with our previously disclosed estimates, in early December."

Financial Performance

• A complete reconciliation, in dollars and per share amounts, of net income to FFO, as defined by NAREIT, as well as to Core FFO, is included in the financial tables included in this release.

• Net income was $0.46 per diluted share, or $167 million, for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $0.32 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2016. The increased net income per diluted share was primarily the result of gains on property sales. 

• FFO, as defined by NAREIT, was $0.26 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2017, or $93 million, compared to $0.31 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2016. The decreased FFO per diluted share was primarily due to the loss on debt extinguishment related to the early redemption of $129 million of unsecured notes in July 2017. 

• Core FFO was $0.30 per diluted share, or $108 million, for the third quarter of 2017 compared to $0.31 per diluted share for the third quarter of 2016.

Real Estate Investment Activity

Mr. Connor further stated, “The Bridge Portfolio includes ten recently constructed state-of-the-art bulk distribution buildings in Northern New Jersey, South Florida and Southern California, which we believe to be the best industrial markets in the country, for a total purchase price of $516 million. The portfolio also includes two parcels of undeveloped land in Northern New Jersey, for a total purchase price of $62 million, upon which construction of two additional properties will commence later this year or early next year. The entire portfolio, when construction on the two land parcels is completed, will ultimately total 4.3 million rentable square feet with a total investment of slightly under $700 million. We agreed to the terms of the acquisition in April, at which point the properties were 58 percent leased in total. After assuming leasing responsibilities in July 2017, we executed additional leases to increase the portfolio to 69 percent leased. We believe that, since April, rental rates have continued to increase while cap rates have also further compressed.

During the third quarter we also started $230 million of developments, which were 54 percent pre-leased in total. We finished the quarter with an 11.1 million square foot development pipeline, with total expected project costs of $696 million, and a very solid pre-leasing level of 63 percent.

We believe that, on average, our acquisitions for the year will be executed at roughly the same stabilized cap rate that we achieved on the medical office disposition and also better future rent growth, while our development activity will ultimately generate significantly higher stabilized yields than our acquisition activity."

Acquisitions

The first tranche of the Bridge Portfolio closed at the end of September and consisted of two bulk distribution properties in Southern California, two in South Florida, and one in Northern New Jersey, all of which totaled $219 million and 1.7 million rentable square feet, and were 70 percent pre-leased. The remaining five buildings to be acquired in the Bridge Portfolio, with a total purchase price of $297 million, are all located in Northern New Jersey.

The company also acquired (i) two properties in Southern California totaling 1.0 million square feet, which were 100 percent leased, (ii) one parcel of land upon which construction immediately began on an expansion of one of these Southern California properties, (iii) a recently completed speculative property in Chicago and (iv) a 100 percent leased property in Northern New Jersey.

Development

The third quarter included the following development activity:

 Wholly Owned Properties

• During the quarter, the company started $166 million of wholly owned development projects totaling 2.4 million square feet, which were 66 percent pre-leased in total. These wholly owned development starts were comprised of a speculative development project in the Lehigh Valley of Pennsylvania totaling 832,000 square feet, a 100 percent pre-leased expansion project in Southern California totaling 736,000 square feet and a 100 percent pre-leased project in Dallas totaling 875,000 square feet.

• Nine projects totaling 3.4 million square feet, which were 80 percent leased, were placed in service during the quarter.

Joint Venture Properties

• During the quarter, a 50 percent-owned joint venture started a 708,000 square foot bulk industrial project in Indianapolis, which was 65 percent pre-leased at September 30, 2017 and subsequently fully leased, while another 50 percent-owned joint venture started a 674,000 square foot speculative project in Columbus.

• A 192,000 square foot project in Columbus, which was 100 percent pre-leased, was placed in service during the quarter by a 50 percent-owned joint venture. 

Building Dispositions

Building dispositions totaled $301 million in the third quarter and included the following:

Wholly Owned Properties

• Seven medical office buildings totaling 519,000 square feet

• Three suburban office properties in Indianapolis, Indiana, totaling 391,000 square feet, which completed the company's exit from the Indianapolis office market

Distributions Declared

The company's board of directors declared a quarterly cash distribution on its common stock of $0.20 per share, or $0.80 per share on an annualized basis. The third quarter dividend will be payable on November 30, 2017 to shareholders of record on November 16, 2017.

2017 Earnings Guidance

A reconciliation of the company's per share guidance for diluted net income per common share to FFO, as defined by NAREIT and to Core FFO is included in the financial tables to this release. The company revised its guidance for net income to $4.45 to $4.60 per diluted share from its previous guidance of $4.40 to $4.66 per diluted share. The company revised its guidance for FFO, as defined by NAREIT, to $1.22 to $1.29 per diluted share from its previous guidance of $1.20 to $1.33 and also revised its guidance for Core FFO to $1.21 to $1.25 per diluted share from its previous range of $1.20 to $1.26 per diluted share. 

FFO and AFFO Reporting Definitions

FFO: FFO is computed in accordance with standards established by NAREIT. NAREIT defines FFO as net income (loss) excluding gains (losses) on sales of depreciable property, impairment charges related to depreciable real estate assets; plus real estate related depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated joint ventures. The company believes FFO to be most directly comparable to net income as defined by generally accepted accounting principles ("GAAP"). The company believes that FFO should be examined in conjunction with net income (as defined by GAAP) as presented in the financial statements accompanying this release. FFO does not represent a measure of liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for the company’s cash needs, including the company’s ability to make cash distributions to shareholders.

Core FFO: Core FFO is computed as FFO adjusted for certain items that are generally non-cash in nature and that materially distort the comparative measurement of company performance over time. The adjustments include gains on sale of undeveloped land, impairment charges not related to depreciable real estate assets, tax expenses or benefits related to (i) changes in deferred tax asset valuation allowances, (ii) changes in tax exposure accruals that were established as the result of the adoption of new accounting principles, or (iii) taxable income (loss) related to other items excluded from FFO or Core FFO (collectively referred to as “other income tax items”), gains (losses) on debt transactions, gains (losses) on and related costs of acquisitions, gains on sale of merchant buildings, promote income and severance charges related to major overhead restructuring activities. Although the company’s calculation of Core FFO differs from NAREIT’s definition of FFO and may not be comparable to that of other REITs and real estate companies, the company believes it provides a meaningful supplemental measure of its operating performance.

AFFO: AFFO is a supplemental performance measure defined by the company as Core FFO (as defined above), less recurring building improvements and total second generation capital expenditures (the leasing of vacant space that had previously been under lease by the company is referred to as second generation lease activity) related to leases commencing during the reporting period and adjusted for certain non-cash items including straight line rental income and expense, non-cash components of interest expense and stock compensation expense, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Same-Property Performance

The company includes same-property net operating income growth as a property-level supplemental measure of performance. The company utilizes same-property net operating income growth as a supplemental measure to evaluate property-level performance, and jointly-controlled properties are included at the company's ownership percentage.

A reconciliation of net income from continuing operations to same property net operating income is included in the financial tables to this release. A description of the properties that are excluded from the company’s same-property net operating income measure is included on page 17 of its September 30, 2017 supplemental information.
