We believe the disclosures made are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. However, the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, or our 2020 Annual Report. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals) considered necessary for a fair statement of results for the interim period have been included. All intercompany transactions and balances with or among our consolidated subsidiaries have been eliminated. Our operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect reported amounts. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Significant estimates in the condensed consolidated financial statements include purchase price allocations, useful lives of fixed assets, impairments of real estate and related intangibles.

Note 2. Real Estate Investments

As of March 31, 2021, our portfolio was comprised of 289 wholly owned properties containing approximately 34,870,000 rentable square feet, including 226 buildings, leasable land parcels and easements containing approximately 16,756,000 rentable square feet of primarily industrial lands located on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, or our Hawaii Properties, and 63 properties containing approximately 18,114,000 rentable square feet of industrial properties located in 30 other states, or our Mainland Properties. As of March 31, 2021, we also owned a 22% equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which owns 12 properties located in nine states totaling approximately 9,227,000 rentable square feet.

We operate in one business segment: ownership and leasing of properties that include industrial and logistics buildings and leased industrial lands. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, approximately 50.2% and 41.1%, respectively, of our rental income was from our Hawaii Properties. In addition, a subsidiary of Amazon.com, Inc., which is a tenant at certain of our Mainland Properties, accounted for $5,538, or 10.2%, and $9,662, or 15.0%, of our rental income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we committed $3,256 for expenditures related to leasing related costs for leases executed during the period for approximately 620,000 square feet. Committed but unspent tenant related obligations based on existing leases as of March 31, 2021 were $1,704.

Certain of our industrial lands in Hawaii may require environmental remediation, especially if the use of those lands is changed; however, we do not have plans to change the use of those lands. As of both March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, accrued environmental remediation costs of $6,940 were included in accounts payable and other liabilities in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These accrued environmental remediation costs relate to maintenance of our properties for current uses, and, because of the indeterminable timing of the remediation, these amounts have not been discounted to present value. In general, we do not have any insurance designated to limit any losses that we may incur as a result of known or unknown environmental conditions which are not caused by an insured event, such as fire or flood, although some of our tenants may maintain such insurance that may benefit us. Although we do not believe that there are environmental conditions at any of our properties that will have a material adverse effect on us, we cannot be sure that such conditions are not present at our properties or that costs we incur to remediate contamination will not have a material adverse effect on our business or financial condition. Charges for environmental remediation costs, if any, are included in other operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

In March 2021, we entered into an agreement to acquire a newly built property located near the Rickenbacker intermodal terminal and airport in Columbus, Ohio containing approximately 358,000 rentable square feet and net leased to a single tenant for a purchase price of $31,500, excluding acquisition related costs. This acquisition is expected to close during the second quarter of 2021. However, this acquisition is subject to conditions; accordingly, we cannot be sure that we will complete this acquisition, that this acquisition will not be delayed or that the terms will not change.

(1) Includes the effect of mark to market purchase accounting.

(2) Amounts are not adjusted for our minority interest; none of the debt is recourse to us.

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we entered into agreements related to a joint venture for 12 of our properties in the mainland United States, or our joint venture, with an Asian institutional investor, and contributed those 12 properties to our joint venture. We received an aggregate of $108,266 from that investor for a 39% equity interest in our joint venture and we retained the remaining 61% equity interest in our joint venture. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we incurred transaction costs of $626 in connection with the formation of this joint venture.

We recognized a 39% noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The portion of our joint venture's net loss not attributable to us, or $152 for the three months ended March 31, 2020, is reported as noncontrolling interest in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. No distributions were made by our joint venture during the three months ended March 31, 2020.

In November 2020, we sold an additional 39% equity interest from our remaining 61% equity interest to a second unrelated third party institutional investor and retained a 22% equity interest in our joint venture. Effective as of the date of the sale, we deconsolidated our joint venture and, since that time, we account for our joint venture using the equity method of accounting under the fair value option.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded the change in the fair value of our investment in our joint venture of $2,581 as equity in earnings of investees in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, our joint venture made aggregate cash distributions of $660 to us. See Note 5 for more information regarding our joint venture.

Note 3. Leases

We are a lessor of industrial and logistics properties. Our leases provide our tenants with the contractual right to use and economically benefit from all the physical space specified in the leases; therefore, we have determined to evaluate our leases as lease arrangements.

Our leases provide for base rent payments and in addition may include variable payments. Rental income from operating leases, including any payments derived by index or market-based indices, is recognized on a straight line basis over the lease term when we have determined that the collectability of substantially all of the lease payments is probable. Some of our leases have options to extend or terminate the lease exercisable at the option of our tenants, which are considered when determining the lease term. We do not include in our measurement of our lease receivables certain variable payments, including payments determined by changes in the index or market-based indices after the inception of the lease, certain tenant reimbursements and other income until the specific events that trigger the variable payments have occurred. Such payments totaled $9,872 and

(dollars in thousands, except per share data)

$11,520 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, of which tenant reimbursements totaled $9,627 and $11,275, respectively.

We increased rental income to record revenue on a straight line basis by $2,044 and $1,967 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

During the year ended December 31, 2020, certain of our tenants requested relief from their obligations to pay rent due to us in response to the economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. In most cases, the tenants granted deferrals were obligated to pay the deferred rents in 12 equal monthly installments beginning in September 2020. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, deferred payments totaling $1,725 and $2,630, respectively, are included in rents receivable in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. These deferred amounts did not impact our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Note 4. Indebtedness

Unamortized debt issuance costs	(4,285)		(4,421)
	$	862,715	$	866,579

(1) The principal balances are the amounts stated in contracts. In accordance with GAAP, our carrying values and recorded interest expense may be different because of market conditions at the time we assumed certain of these debts.

(2) The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is December 29, 2021 and we have the option to extend the maturity date for two, six month periods through December 29, 2022.

We have a $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility that is available for our general business purposes, including acquisitions. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is December 29, 2021. We may borrow, repay and reborrow funds under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. Interest on borrowings under our revolving credit facility is calculated at floating rates based on LIBOR plus a premium that varies based on our leverage ratio. We have the option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility for two, six month periods, subject to payment of extension fees and satisfaction of other conditions. We are also required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of our revolving credit facility. The agreement governing our revolving credit facility, or our credit agreement, also includes a feature under which the maximum borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility may be increased to up to $1,500,000 in certain circumstances. As of March 31, 2021, interest payable on the amount outstanding under our revolving credit facility was LIBOR plus 130 basis points and our commitment fee was 25 basis points. As of March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.41% and 1.70%, respectively. The weighted average interest rate for borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.57% and 3.23% for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. As of March 31, 2021 and April 22, 2021, we had $217,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility, and $533,000 available to borrow under our revolving credit facility.

Our credit agreement provides for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as a change of control of us, which includes The RMR Group LLC, or RMR LLC, ceasing to act as our business manager and property manager. Our credit agreement also contains a number of covenants, including covenants that restrict our ability to incur debts or to make distributions in certain circumstances, and generally requires us to maintain certain financial ratios. We believe we were in compliance with the terms and conditions of the covenants under our credit agreement at March 31, 2021.

Note 5. Fair Value of Assets and Liabilities

Our financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, rents receivable, our revolving credit facility, mortgage notes payable, accounts payable, rents collected in advance, security deposits and amounts due from or to related persons. At March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2020, the fair value of our financial instruments approximated their carrying values in our condensed consolidated financial statements, due to their short term nature or floating interest rates, except as follows:


	At March 31, 2021				At December 31, 2020

Note 8. Business and Property Management Agreements with RMR LLC

We have no employees. The personnel and various services we require to operate our business are provided to us by RMR LLC. We have two agreements with RMR LLC to provide management services to us: (1) a business management agreement, which relates to our business generally; and (2) a property management agreement, which relates to our property level operations.

Pursuant to our business management agreement with RMR LLC, we recognized net business management fees of $2,544 and $3,307 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The net business management fees we recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2020 include $129 of management fees paid to RMR LLC for that period by our joint venture we then owned a majority interest in and whose operating results we reported on a consolidated basis. Beginning in November 2020, our ownership in our joint venture was reduced to a minority interest; as a result, we ceased at that time to consolidate our joint venture’s operating results and, since then, we do not include the management fees it pays to RMR LLC in the management fees we pay to RMR LLC. Our joint venture is further described in Notes 2 and 9. Based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement, as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, no incentive fees are included in the net business management fees we recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2021 or 2020. The actual amount of annual incentive fees for 2021, if any, will be based on our common share total return, as defined in our business management agreement, for the three year period ending December 31, 2021, and will be payable in 2022. We did not incur any incentive fee payable to RMR LLC for the year ended December 31, 2020. We include business management fees in general and administrative expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

Pursuant to our property management agreement with RMR LLC, we recognized aggregate property management and construction supervision fees of $1,594 and $1,923 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Of these amounts, for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, $1,582 and $1,860, respectively, were expensed to other operating expenses in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income and $12 and $63, respectively, were capitalized as building improvements in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

We are generally responsible for all our operating expenses, including certain expenses incurred or arranged by RMR LLC on our behalf. We are generally not responsible for payment of RMR LLC’s employment, office or administrative expenses incurred to provide management services to us, except for the employment and related expenses of RMR LLC’s employees assigned to work exclusively or partly at our properties, our share of the wages, benefits and other related costs of RMR LLC’s centralized accounting personnel, our share of RMR LLC’s costs for providing our internal audit function, or as otherwise agreed. Our property level operating expenses are generally incorporated into the rents charged to our tenants, including certain payroll and related costs incurred by RMR LLC. We reimbursed RMR LLC $1,141 and $1,199 for these expenses and costs for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. These amounts are included in other operating expenses and general and administrative expenses, as applicable, in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income.

See Note 9 for further information regarding our relationships, agreements and transactions with RMR LLC.

Note 9. Related Person Transactions

We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR LLC, The RMR Group Inc., or RMR Inc., and others related to them, including other companies to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services and some of which have trustees, directors or officers who are also our Trustees or officers. RMR LLC is a majority owned

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 2020 Annual Report.

OVERVIEW (dollars in thousands, except per share and per square foot data)

We are a real estate investment trust, or REIT, organized under Maryland law. As of March 31, 2021, our portfolio was comprised of 289 wholly owned properties containing approximately 34.9 million rentable square feet, including 226 buildings, leasable land parcels and easements containing approximately 16.8 million rentable square feet located on the island of Oahu, Hawaii, and 63 properties containing approximately 18.1 million rentable square feet located in 30 other states. As of March 31, 2021, we also owned a 22% equity interest in an unconsolidated joint venture which owns 12 properties located in nine states containing approximately 9.2 million rentable square feet that were 100% leased with an average (by annualized rental revenues) remaining lease term of 8.0 years. As of March 31, 2021, our consolidated properties were approximately 98.6% leased (based on rentable square feet) to 253 different tenants with a weighted average remaining lease term (based on annualized rental revenues) of approximately 9.4 years. We define the term annualized rental revenues as used in this section as the annualized contractual rents, as of March 31, 2021, including straight line rent adjustments and excluding lease value amortization, adjusted for tenant concessions including free rent and amounts reimbursed to tenants, plus estimated recurring expense reimbursements from tenants.

Our business is focused on industrial and logistics properties. The industrial and logistics sector has fared better than some other industries thus far during the COVID-19 pandemic, including other real estate sectors, due to the demand for e-commerce. Although, to date, the COVID-19 pandemic has not had a significant adverse impact on our business, certain of our tenants requested relief from their obligations to pay rent due to us in response to the economic conditions resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic. As of April 23, 2021, we granted requests to certain of our tenants to defer aggregate rent payments of $3,103 with respect to leases that represent, as of March 31, 2021, approximately 1.5% of our annualized rental revenues. As of March 31, 2021, we recognized $1,725 in our accounts receivable related to the remaining deferred amounts. In most cases, these tenants were obligated to pay the deferred rents in 12 equal monthly installments beginning in September 2020. These deferred amounts did not negatively impact our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2021, and will continue to be reflected in our financial results in the applicable future reporting periods, assuming these tenants continue to pay the deferred rents due to us. Our manager, RMR LLC, has taken various actions in response to the COVID-19 pandemic to address its operating and financial impact on us and to protect the health and safety of our tenants and other persons who visit our properties. In addition, we are continuing to closely monitor the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of our business. See our 2020 Annual Report for further information regarding these actions and monitoring activities.

There are uncertainties surrounding the COVID-19 pandemic and, as a result of these uncertainties, we are unable to determine what the ultimate impact will be on our, our tenants’ and other stakeholders’ businesses, operations, financial results and financial position. For further information and risks relating to the COVID-19 pandemic on us and our business, see Part I, Item 1, “Business—Impact of COVID-19” and Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors”, of our 2020 Annual Report.

The average effective rental rates per square foot, as defined below, for our properties for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are as follows:


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Average effective rental rates per square foot leased: (1)
All properties	$	6.31	$	6.02
Comparable properties (2)	$	6.35	$	6.11

(2)Consists of properties that we owned continuously since January 1, 2020 and excludes 12 properties owned by an unconsolidated joint venture in which we own a 22% equity interest.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we entered new and renewal leases for approximately 620,000 square feet at weighted average (by square feet) rental rates that were approximately 16.0% higher than prior rates for the same land area or building area (with leasing rate increases for vacant space based upon the most recent rental rate for the same space). The weighted average (by square feet) lease term for leases that were in effect for the same land area or building area during the prior lease term was 11.7 years. Commitments for tenant improvements, leasing costs and concessions for leases entered during the three months ended March 31, 2021 totaled $3,256, or approximately $0.45 per square foot per year of the new weighted average lease term.

As shown in the table below, approximately 0.9% of both our total leased square feet and our total annualized rental revenues as of March 31, 2021 are included in leases scheduled to expire by December 31, 2021.

As of March 31, 2021, our lease expirations by year are as follows (dollars and square feet in thousands):

Mainland Properties. As of March 31, 2021, our Mainland Properties represented approximately 49.2% 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. Due to the capital 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 March 31, 2021, our Hawaii Properties represented approximately 50.8% of our annualized rental revenues. As of March 31, 2021, certain of our Hawaii Properties are lands leased for rents that periodically reset based on fair market values, generally every ten years. Revenues from our Hawaii Properties have generally increased under our or our predecessors’ ownership 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. Despite our and our predecessors’ 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.

As of March 31, 2021, $2,725, or 1.3%, of our annualized rental revenues are included in leases scheduled to expire through March 31, 2022 and 1.4% 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; however, our ability to maintain or increase the rents for our current properties will depend in large part upon market conditions, which are beyond our control.

Tenant Review Process. Our manager, RMR LLC, employs a tenant review process for us. RMR LLC assesses tenants on an individual basis based on various applicable credit criteria. In general, depending on facts and circumstances, RMR LLC 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 LLC also often uses 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.

Investing and Financing Activities (dollars in thousands)

During the three months ended March 31, 2020, we entered into agreements related to a joint venture for 12 of our properties in the mainland United States with an Asian institutional investor and contributed those 12 properties to our joint venture. We received an aggregate of $108,266 from that investor for a 39% equity interest in our joint venture and we retained the remaining 61% equity interest in our joint venture. As of March 31, 2020, we incurred transaction costs of $626 in connection with the formation of this joint venture.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we recorded the change in the fair value of our investment in our joint venture of $2,581 in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. In addition, during the three months ended March 31, 2021, our joint venture made aggregate cash distributions of $660 to us.

(2)Consists of two properties that we acquired during the period from January 1, 2020 to March 31, 2021, one property we sold in 2020 and 12 properties we contributed in the first quarter of 2020 to a joint venture in which we currently own a 22% equity interest. We consolidated our properties owned by the joint venture until November 2020.

References to changes in the income and expense categories below relate to the comparison of results for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020.

Rental income. The decrease in rental income is primarily a result of our acquisition and disposition activities, which includes the contribution of 12 properties to our joint venture that was deconsolidated in November 2020, partially offset by increases from leasing activity and rent resets at certain of our comparable properties. Rental income includes non-cash straight line rent adjustments totaling approximately $2,044 for the 2021 period and approximately $1,967 for the 2020 period, and net amortization of acquired real estate leases and assumed real estate lease obligations totaling approximately $180 for the 2021 period and approximately $200 for the 2020 period.

Real estate taxes. The decrease in real estate taxes primarily reflects our acquisition and disposition activities.

Table of Contents

Other operating expenses. Other operating expenses primarily include repairs and maintenance, utilities, insurance, snow removal, legal and property management fees. The decrease in other operating expenses is primarily due to our acquisition and disposition activities, partially offset by an increase in snow removal and insurance costs in the 2021 period at certain of our comparable properties.

Depreciation and amortization. The decrease in depreciation and amortization primarily reflects our acquisition and disposition activities, partially offset by certain leasing related assets becoming fully amortized in the 2021 period.

General and administrative. General and administrative expenses primarily include fees paid under our business management agreement with RMR LLC, legal fees, audit fees, Trustee fees and expenses and equity compensation expense. The decrease in general and administrative expenses is primarily due to a decrease in business management fees as a result of our net disposition of properties since April 1, 2020.

Interest income. Interest income represents interest earned on our cash balances. The decrease in interest income is primarily due to a decrease in the interest rate earned on invested cash during the 2021 period as compared to the 2020 period.

Interest expense. The decrease in interest expense is primarily due to lower average outstanding indebtedness during the 2021 period as compared to the 2020 period.

Income tax expense. Income tax expense primarily reflects state income taxes payable in certain jurisdictions.

Equity in earnings of investees. Equity in earnings of investees is the change in the fair value of our investment in our joint venture.

Net income. The increase in net income for the 2021 period compared to the 2020 period reflects the changes noted above.

Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. Net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest represents the net loss attributable to the 39% equity interest in our joint venture that we did not own during the 2020 period when we owned a 61% equity interest in the venture.

Weighted average common shares outstanding. The increase in weighted average common shares outstanding primarily reflects common shares awarded under our equity compensation plan since January 1, 2020.

Net income attributable to common shareholders per common share - basic and diluted. The increase in net income attributable to common shareholders per common share reflects the changes to net income attributable to common shareholders and weighted average common shares noted above.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

We present certain “non-GAAP financial measures” within the meaning of the applicable rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, including net operating income, or NOI, funds from operations, or FFO, attributable to common shareholders and 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 alternatives to net income or net income 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 income and net income attributable to common shareholders as presented in our condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income. We consider these non-GAAP measures to be appropriate supplemental measures of operating performance for a REIT, along with net income and net income 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 income in order to provide results that are more closely related to our property level results of operations. NOI excludes amortization of capitalized tenant improvement costs and leasing commissions that we record as 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 income to NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands):

Funds From Operations 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 net income attributable to common shareholders, calculated in accordance with GAAP, excluding any gain or loss on sale of real estate and equity in earnings of an unconsolidated joint venture, plus real estate depreciation and amortization of consolidated properties and our proportionate share of FFO of unconsolidated joint venture properties and minus FFO adjustments attributable to noncontrolling interest, as well as certain other adjustments currently not applicable to us. In calculating Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, we adjust for the items shown below including similar adjustments for our unconsolidated joint venture, if any. FFO attributable to common shareholders and

Table of Contents

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 income attributable to common shareholders to FFO attributable to common shareholders and Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 (dollars in thousands, except per share data):

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Our Operating Liquidity and 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 and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. With $533,000 of availability under our revolving credit facility as of April 22, 2021, 72.3% of our annualized rental revenues derived from investment grade rated tenants, subsidiaries of investment grade rated parent entities or our Hawaii land leases and only 1.3% of our annualized rental revenues as of March 31, 2021 from expiring leases 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. 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;

•control our operating cost increases; and

•purchase additional properties that produce cash flows in excess of our costs of acquisition capital and property operating expenses.

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 (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended March 31,
	2021		2020
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at beginning of period	$	22,834	$	34,550
Net cash provided by (used in):

Investing activities	(789)		(73,935)
Financing activities	(25,550)		41,112
Cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash at end of period	$	26,147	$	31,172

The increase in net cash provided by operating activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the 2020 period is primarily due to changes in our working capital. The decrease in net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the 2020 period is primarily due to the acquisition of one property during the 2020 period compared to no property acquisitions during the 2021 period. The change in net cash provided by financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2021 to net cash provided by financing activities for the 2020 period is primarily due to the proceeds we received from our sale of equity interests in our joint venture in the 2020 period.

Our Investing and Financing Liquidity and Resources (dollars in thousands, except per share and per square foot data)

Our future acquisition or development activity cannot be accurately projected because such activity depends upon available opportunities that come to our attention and upon our ability to successfully acquire, develop and operate properties, financing available to us, our cost of capital, other commitments we have made and alternative uses for the amounts that would be required for the acquisition or development, the extent of our leverage, and the expected impact of the acquisition or development on our debt covenants and certain other financial metrics. We generally do not intend to purchase “turn around” properties, or properties that do not generate positive cash flows, but we may conduct construction or redevelopment activities on our properties.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2021, we had cash and cash equivalents of $26,147. 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. In order to fund cash needs that may result from timing differences between our receipt of rents and our desire or need to make distributions, to pay operating or capital expenses or to fund any future property acquisitions, development or redevelopment efforts, we maintain a $750,000 unsecured revolving credit facility with a group of lenders. The maturity date of our revolving credit facility is December 29, 2021. We have the option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility for two, six month periods, subject to payment of extension fees and satisfaction of other conditions. We pay interest on borrowings under our revolving credit facility at the rate of LIBOR plus a premium that varies based on our leverage ratio. We are required to pay a commitment fee on the unused portion of our revolving credit facility. At March 31, 2021, the interest rate premium on our revolving credit facility was 130 basis points and our commitment fee was 25 basis points. We can borrow, repay and reborrow funds available under our revolving credit facility until maturity, and no principal repayment is due until maturity. As of March 31, 2021, the annual interest rate payable on borrowings under our revolving credit facility was 1.41%. As of March 31, 2021 and April 22, 2021, we had $217,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility, and $533,000 available to borrow under our revolving credit facility.

Our credit agreement includes a feature under which the maximum borrowing availability under the facility may be increased to up to $1,500,000 in certain circumstances.

As of March 31, 2021, our debt maturities (other than our revolving credit facility), consisted of mortgage notes with an aggregate principal amount of $650,000, which is scheduled to mature in 2029.

We expect to use borrowings under our revolving credit facility, payments we may receive for pro rata equity contributions from the other investors in our joint venture in connection with properties we may contribute to our joint venture, equity contributions from the third party investors in our joint venture and net proceeds from offerings of equity or debt securities to fund any future property acquisitions, development or redevelopment efforts. We may also assume mortgage notes in connection with future acquisitions. When significant amounts are outstanding under our revolving credit facility or the maturities of our revolving credit facility or our other debt approach, we intend to explore refinancing alternatives. Such alternatives may include incurring term debt, obtaining financing secured by mortgages on properties we own, issuing new equity or debt securities, extending the maturity date of our revolving credit facility, participating in joint ventures or selling properties. We currently have an effective shelf registration statement that allows us to issue public securities on an expedited basis, but we cannot be sure that there will be purchasers for such securities. 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.

Table of Contents

The completion and the costs of any future financings will depend primarily upon our success in operating our business and upon market conditions. In particular, the feasibility and cost of any future debt financings will depend primarily on our then current credit qualities and on market conditions. We have no control over market conditions. Potential lenders in future debt transactions will evaluate our ability to fund required debt service and repay principal balances when they become due by reviewing our financial condition, results of operations, business practices and plans and our ability to maintain our earnings, to stagger our debt maturities and to balance our use of debt and equity capital so that our financial performance and leverage ratios afford us flexibility to withstand any reasonably anticipated adverse changes. We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner which will afford us reasonable access to capital for investing and financing activities. However, as noted elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, it is uncertain what the duration and severity of the current economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic will be. A protracted and extensive downturn may have various negative consequences, including a decline in financing availability and increased costs for financing. Further, such conditions could also disrupt capital markets and limit our access to financing from public sources, particularly if the global financial markets experience significant disruptions.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021, we paid a quarterly cash distribution to our shareholders totaling $21,550 using existing cash balances and borrowings under our revolving credit facility. For more information regarding the distribution we paid in 2021, see Note 6 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

During the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, amounts capitalized for tenant improvements, leasing costs, building improvements and development and redevelopment activities were as follows:


	Three Months Ended
	March 31,
	2021		2020
Tenant improvements and leasing costs (1)	$	823	$	293

Building improvements (2)	232		1,237
Development, redevelopment and other activities (3)	—		1
	$	1,055	$	1,531

(1)Tenant improvements and leasing costs include capital expenditures used to improve tenants’ space or amounts paid directly to tenants to improve their space and leasing related costs, such as brokerage commissions and tenant inducements.

(2)Building improvements generally include expenditures to replace obsolete building components and expenditures that extend the useful life of existing assets.

(3)Development, redevelopment and other activities generally include capital expenditure projects that reposition a property or result in new sources of revenues.

As of March 31, 2021, we had estimated unspent leasing related obligations of $1,704.

(1)Includes commitments made for leasing expenditures and concessions, such as leasing commissions, tenant improvements or other tenant inducements.

Debt Covenants (dollars in thousands)

Our principal debt obligations at March 31, 2021 were borrowings outstanding under our revolving credit facility and a $650,000 non-recourse, mortgage loan that is secured by 186 of our properties. The mortgage loan agreement contains certain exceptions to the general non-recourse provisions that obligate us to indemnify the lenders for certain potential environmental losses relating to hazardous materials and violations of environmental law.

Our credit agreement provides for acceleration of payment of all amounts outstanding upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default, such as a change of control of us, which includes RMR LLC ceasing to act as our business and property manager. Our credit agreement contains covenants, including those that restrict our ability to incur debts, including debts secured by mortgages on our properties, in excess of calculated amounts, restrict our ability to make distributions to our shareholders in certain circumstances and generally require us to maintain certain financial ratios. As of March 31, 2021, we believe we were in compliance with all the covenants and other terms under our credit agreement.

Our credit agreement does not contain provisions for acceleration which could be triggered by our leverage ratio. However, under our credit agreement, our leverage ratio is used to determine the interest rates for calculating the amount of interest payable on outstanding borrowings and the fees we pay. Accordingly, if our leverage ratio increases above the applicable thresholds, our interest expense and related costs under our credit agreement would increase.

Our revolving credit facility has cross default provisions to other indebtedness that is recourse of $25,000 or more and indebtedness that is non-recourse of $50,000 or more.

The loan agreement and related documents governing our mortgage loan contain customary covenants and provide for acceleration of payment of all amounts due thereunder upon the occurrence and continuation of certain events of default and require us to maintain a minimum consolidated net worth of at least $250,000 and liquidity of at least $15,000. As of March 31, 2021, we believe we were in compliance with all the covenants and other terms under this mortgage loan agreement.

Related Person Transactions

We have relationships and historical and continuing transactions with RMR LLC, RMR Inc. and others related to them. For further information about these and other such relationships and related person transactions, see Notes 8 and 9 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our 2020 Annual Report, our definitive Proxy Statement for our 2021 Annual Meeting of Shareholders and our other filings with the SEC. In addition, see the section captioned “Risk Factors” of our 2020 Annual Report for a description of risks that may arise as a result of these and other related person transactions and relationships. We may engage in additional transactions with related persons, including businesses to which RMR LLC or its subsidiaries provide management services.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk (dollars in thousands, except per share data)

We are exposed to risks associated with market changes in interest rates. We manage our exposure to this market risk by monitoring available financing alternatives. Our strategy to manage exposure to changes in interest rates is materially unchanged since December 31, 2020. Other than as described below, we do not currently expect any significant changes in our exposure to fluctuations in interest rates or in how we manage this exposure in the near future.

Table of Contents

Fixed Rate Debt

At March 31, 2021, our outstanding fixed rate debt consisted of the following mortgage notes:



			Annual		Annual			Interest
	Principal		Interest		Interest			Payments
Debt	Balance (1)		Rate (1)		Expense (1)		Maturity	Due

Mortgage notes (186 properties in Hawaii)	$	650,000	4.31	%	$	28,015	2029	Monthly

	$	650,000			$	28,015

(1)The principal balance, annual interest rate and annual interest expense are the amounts stated in the applicable contract. In accordance with GAAP, our carrying values and recorded interest expense may differ from these amounts because of market conditions at the time we assumed or issued this debt.

These mortgage notes require interest only payments until maturity. Because our mortgage notes require interest to be paid at a fixed rate, changes in market interest rates during the terms of these mortgage notes will not affect our interest obligations. If these mortgage notes are refinanced at an interest rate which is one percentage point higher or lower than shown above, our annual interest cost would increase or decrease by approximately $6,500.

Changes in market interest rates would affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligations. Increases in market interest rates decrease the fair value of our fixed rate debt, while decreases in market interest rates increase the fair value of our fixed rate debt. Based on the balance outstanding at March 31, 2021 and discounted cash flow analyses through the maturity date, and assuming no other changes in factors that may affect the fair value of our fixed rate debt obligation, a hypothetical immediate one percentage point change in the interest rates would change the fair value of this obligation by approximately $46,008.

Floating Rate Debt

At March 31, 2021, our floating rate debt consisted of $217,000 outstanding under our revolving credit facility. Our revolving credit facility matures on December 29, 2021 and, subject to the payment of extension fees and satisfaction of other conditions, we have the option to extend the maturity date for two, six month periods. No principal repayments are required under our revolving credit facility prior to maturity, and prepayments may be made at any time without penalty.

Borrowings under our revolving credit facility are in U.S. dollars and require interest to be paid at LIBOR plus a premium that varies based on our leverage ratio. Accordingly, we are vulnerable to changes in the U.S. dollar based short term rates, specifically LIBOR. In addition, upon renewal or refinancing of this obligation, we are vulnerable to increases in interest rate premiums due to market conditions or our perceived credit risk. Generally, a change in interest rates would not affect the value of our floating rate debt but would affect our operating results. The following table presents the approximate impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense at March 31, 2021:


	Impact of an Increase in Interest Rates
					Total Interest		Annual
	Interest Rate		Outstanding		Expense		Earnings Per
	Per Year		Debt		Per Year		Share Impact (1)
At March 31, 2021	1.41	%	$	217,000	$	3,060	$	(0.05)
One percentage point increase	2.41	%	$	217,000	$	5,230	$	(0.08)

(1)Based on the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

The following table presents the approximate impact a one percentage point increase in interest rates would have on our annual floating rate interest expense at March 31, 2021 if we were fully drawn on our revolving credit facility:


	Impact of an Increase in Interest Rates
					Total Interest		Annual
	Interest Rate		Outstanding		Expense		Earnings Per
	Per Year		Debt		Per Year		Share Impact (1)
At March 31, 2021	1.41	%	$	750,000	$	10,575	$	(0.16)
One percentage point increase	2.41	%	$	750,000	$	18,075	$	(0.28)

(1)Based on the diluted weighted average common shares outstanding for the three months ended March 31, 2021.

Table of Contents

The foregoing tables show the impact of an immediate one percentage point change in floating interest rates. If interest rates were to change gradually over time, the impact would be spread over time. Our exposure to fluctuations in floating interest rates will increase or decrease in the future with increases or decreases in the outstanding amounts of our revolving credit facility and any other floating rate debt.

LIBOR Phase Out

LIBOR is currently expected to be phased out for new contracts by December 31, 2021 and for pre-existing contracts by June 30, 2023. We are required to pay interest on borrowings under our revolving credit facility at floating rates based on LIBOR. Interest we may pay on any future debt that we may incur may also require that we pay interest based upon LIBOR. We currently expect that the determination of interest under our revolving credit facility would be revised as provided under our credit agreement or amended as necessary to provide for an interest rate that approximates the existing interest rate as calculated in accordance with LIBOR. Despite our current expectations, we cannot be sure that, if LIBOR is phased out or transitioned, the changes to the determination of interest under our agreements would approximate the current calculation in accordance with LIBOR. We do not know what standard, if any, will replace LIBOR if it is phased out or transitioned.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15 and 15d-15 under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. Based upon that evaluation, our President and Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are effective.

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 2021 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Warning Concerning Forward-Looking Statements

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains statements that constitute forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and other securities laws. Also, whenever we use words such as “believe”, “expect”, “anticipate”, “intend”, “plan”, “estimate”, “will”, “may” and negatives or derivatives of these or similar expressions, we are making forward-looking statements. These forward-looking statements are based upon our present intent, beliefs or expectations, but forward-looking statements are not guaranteed to occur and may not occur. Forward-looking statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q relate to various aspects of our business, including:

•Our tenants’ ability and willingness to pay their rent obligations to us,

•The likelihood that our tenants will renew or extend their leases or that we will be able to obtain replacement tenants on terms as favorable to us as the terms of our existing leases,

•The duration and severity of the economic downturn resulting from the COVID-19 pandemic and its impact on us and our tenants,

•Our expectations about our ability and the ability of the industrial and logistics properties real estate sector and our tenants to operate throughout the COVID-19 pandemic and current economic conditions,

•Our belief that the industrial and logistics sector and many of our tenants are critical to sustaining a resilient supply chain and that our business will benefit as a result,

•Our acquisitions or sales of properties,

•Our ability to compete for acquisitions and tenancies effectively,

•The likelihood that our rents will increase when we renew or extend our leases, when we enter new leases, or when our rents reset at our Hawaii Properties,

•Our ability to pay distributions to our shareholders and to sustain the amount of such distributions,

•The future availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility,

•Our policies and plans regarding investments, financings and dispositions,

•Our ability to raise debt or equity capital,

•Our ability to pay interest on and principal of our debt,

•Our ability to appropriately balance our use of debt and equity capital,

•Our ability to expand our existing or enter into additional real estate joint ventures or to attract co-venturers and benefit from our existing joint venture or any real estate joint ventures we may enter into,

•Whether we may contribute additional properties to our joint venture and receive proceeds from the other investors in our joint venture in connection with those contributions,

•The credit qualities of our tenants,

•Changes in the security of cash flows from our properties,

•Our ability to maintain sufficient liquidity for the duration of the COVID-19 pandemic and resulting economic downturn,

•Our ability to prudently pursue, and successfully and profitably complete, expansion and renovation projects at our properties and to realize our expected returns on those projects,

•Our expectation that we benefit from our relationships with RMR LLC,

•Our qualification for taxation as a REIT,

•Changes in federal or state tax laws,

Table of Contents

•Changes in environmental laws or in their interpretations or enforcement as a result of climate change or otherwise, or our incurring environmental remediation costs or other liabilities, and

•Other matters.

Our actual results may differ materially from those contained in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors, some of which are beyond our control. Risks, uncertainties and other factors that could have a material adverse effect on our forward-looking statements and upon our business, results of operations, financial condition, FFO attributable to common shareholders, Normalized FFO attributable to common shareholders, NOI, cash flows, liquidity and prospects include, but are not limited to:

•The impact of economic conditions and the capital markets on us and our tenants,

•Competition within the real estate industry, particularly for industrial and logistics properties in those markets in which our properties are located,

•Compliance with, and changes to, federal, state and local laws and regulations, accounting rules, tax laws and similar matters,

•Limitations imposed on our business and our ability to satisfy complex rules in order for us to maintain our qualification for taxation as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes,

•Actual and potential conflicts of interest with our related parties, including our managing trustees, RMR LLC and others affiliated with them, and

•Acts of terrorism, outbreaks of pandemics, including COVID-19, or other manmade or natural disasters beyond our control.

For example:

•Our ability to make future distributions to our shareholders and to make payments of principal and interest on our indebtedness depends upon a number of factors, including our receipt of rent from our tenants, future earnings, the capital costs we incur to lease our properties and our working capital requirements. We may be unable to pay our debt obligations or to increase or maintain our current rate of distributions on our common shares and future distributions may be reduced or eliminated,

•Our ability to grow our business and increase our distributions depends in large part upon our ability to acquire properties and lease them for rents, less their property operating costs, that exceed our capital costs. We may be unable to identify properties that we want to acquire, and we may fail to reach agreement with the sellers and complete the purchases of any properties we do want to acquire. In addition, we might encounter unanticipated difficulties and expenditures relating to any acquired properties, and any properties we may acquire may not provide us with rents less property operating costs that exceed our capital costs or achieve our expected returns,

•Contingencies in our acquisition and sale agreements may not be satisfied and any expected acquisitions and sales may not occur, may be delayed or the terms of such transactions may change,

•Rents that we can charge at our properties may decline upon rent resets, lease renewals or lease expirations because of changing market conditions or otherwise,

•Leasing for some of our properties depends on a single tenant and we may be adversely affected by the bankruptcy, insolvency, a downturn of business or a lease termination of a single tenant at these properties,

•Certain of our Hawaii Properties are lands leased for rents that periodically reset based on then current fair market values. Rental income from our properties in Hawaii have generally increased during our and our predecessors’ ownership as the leases for those properties have been reset, extended or renewed. Although we expect that rents for our Hawaii Properties could increase in the future, subject to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic and its resulting economic downturn, we cannot be sure they will increase. Future rents from these properties could decrease or not increase to the extent they have in the past or by the amount we expect, particularly in the current economic conditions,

•Any possible development or redevelopment of our properties may not be realized or be successful,

Table of Contents

•It is difficult to accurately estimate leasing related obligations and costs of development and tenant improvement costs. Our leasing related obligations, development projects and tenant improvements may cost more and may take longer to complete than we currently expect and we may incur increasing amounts for these and similar purposes in the future,

•Economic conditions in areas where our properties are located may decline in the future. Such circumstances or other conditions may reduce demand for leasing industrial space. If the demand for leasing industrial space is reduced, we may be unable to renew leases with our tenants as leases expire or enter new leases at rental rates as high as expiring rents and our financial results may decline,

•E-commerce retail sales may not continue to grow and increase the demand for industrial and logistics real estate as we expect,

•Increasing development of industrial and logistics properties may reduce the demand for, and rents from, our properties,

•We may not achieve or sustain our targeted capitalization rates for properties we acquire and we may incur losses with respect to those acquisitions,

•Our belief that there is a likelihood that tenants may renew or extend our leases prior to their expirations whenever they have made significant investments in the leased properties, or because those properties may be of strategic importance to them, may not be realized,

•Some of our tenants may not renew expiring leases, and we may be unable to obtain new tenants to maintain or increase the historical occupancy rates of, or rents from, our properties, and we may need to make significant expenditures to lease our properties,

•The competitive advantages we believe we have may not in fact exist or provide us with the advantages we expect. We may fail to maintain any of these advantages or our competition may obtain or increase their competitive advantages relative to us,

•We intend to conduct our business activities in a manner that will afford us reasonable access to capital for investing and financing activities. However, we may not succeed in this regard and we may not have reasonable access to capital,

•Continued availability of borrowings under our revolving credit facility is subject to our satisfying certain financial covenants and other credit facility conditions. However, if challenging market conditions last for a long period or worsen, our tenants may experience liquidity constraints and as a result may be unable to pay rent to us and our ability to operate our business effectively may be challenged. If our operating results and financial condition are significantly negatively impacted by the current economic conditions or otherwise, we may fail to satisfy those covenants and conditions,

•Actual costs under our revolving credit facility will be higher than LIBOR plus a premium because of fees and expenses associated with such debt,

•The maximum borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility may be increased to up to $1.5 billion in certain circumstances. However, increasing the maximum borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility is subject to our obtaining additional commitments from lenders, which may not occur,

•We have the option to extend the maturity date of our revolving credit facility upon payment of a fee and meeting other conditions. However, the applicable conditions may not be met,

•The premiums used to determine the interest rate payable on our revolving credit facility and the unused fee payable on our revolving credit facility are based on our leverage. Changes in our leverage may cause the interest and fees we pay to increase,

•We may not reduce our level of indebtedness or maintain any reduction we may effect and increased leverage may restrict our ability to acquire properties and pursue business opportunities,

•We may spend more for capital expenditures than we currently expect or than we have in the past,

•Our existing joint venture and any other joint ventures that we may enter may not be successful,

Table of Contents

•Our Board of Trustees considers, among other factors, our dividend yield and our dividend yield compared to the dividend yields of other industrial REITs when setting our distributions to shareholders. This may imply that we will maintain or seek to maintain a specific dividend yield on our common shares. However, the dividend yield is only one of many factors our Board of Trustees considers in its discretion when setting our distributions to shareholders. Further, various market and other factors impact trading prices for our and our competitors’ securities and the corresponding yields on those securities. As a result, the trading prices on our common shares and the yields on our common shares are subject to change and may fluctuate significantly. We do not intend to maintain or to seek to maintain any specific yield on our common shares,

•We believe that we are well positioned to weather the present disruptions of the COVID-19 pandemic facing the real estate industry. However, the full extent of the future impact of the COVID-19 pandemic to us is unknown and we may not realize similar or better operating results in the future,

•We face limited lease expirations in 2021 and we have granted requests to certain of our tenants to defer rent payments in exchange for increased payments over, in most cases, a 12-month period which began in September 2020. However, current market and economic conditions may deteriorate and such deterioration may result in an increase in tenant defaults and terminations, and these concessions and assistance given to our tenants may not allow them to continue to be successful during this challenging time,

•The business and property management agreements between us and RMR LLC have continuing 20 year terms. However, those agreements permit early termination in certain circumstances. Accordingly, we cannot be sure that these agreements will remain in effect for continuing 20 year terms, and

•We believe that our relationships with our related parties, including RMR LLC, RMR Inc. and others affiliated with them may benefit us and provide us with competitive advantages in operating and growing our business. However, the advantages we believe we may realize from these relationships may not materialize.

Currently unexpected results could occur due to many different circumstances, some of which are beyond our control, such as the COVID-19 pandemic and its aftermath, acts of terrorism, natural disasters, changes in our tenants’ financial conditions, the market demand for leased space or changes in capital markets or the economy generally.

The information contained elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our 2020 Annual Report or in our other filings with the SEC, including under the caption “Risk Factors”, or incorporated herein or therein, identifies other important factors that could cause differences from our forward-looking statements. Our filings with the SEC are available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov.

You should not place undue reliance upon our forward-looking statements.

Except as required by law, we do not intend to update or change any forward-looking statements as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.
