PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. General:
Business. ProLogis, collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries (we, our, us, the
Company or ProLogis), is a publicly held real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns,
operates and develops (directly and through our unconsolidated investees) primarily industrial
properties in North America, Europe and Asia. Through 2008, our business consisted of three
reportable business segments: (i) direct owned; (ii) investment management; and (iii) CDFS
business. Our direct owned segment represents the direct long-term ownership of industrial
properties. Our investment management segment represents the long-term investment management of
property funds and certain joint ventures and the properties they own. Our CDFS business segment
primarily encompassed our development or acquisition of real estate properties that were generally
contributed to a property fund in which we had an ownership interest and managed, or sold to third
parties. Changes in global economic conditions resulted in changes to our business strategy and,
therefore, as of December 31, 2008, our business strategy no longer includes the CDFS business
segment. See Note 10 for further discussion of our business segments.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements, presented in the U.S.
dollar, are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP).
GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and
liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial
statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ
from those estimates and assumptions. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated
entities have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial information has been prepared according to the rules
and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). Certain information and
footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with
GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. Our management
believes that the disclosures presented in these financial statements are adequate to make the
information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting
only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of
September 30, 2009, our results of operations for the three and nine months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008, and our cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 have been
included. We have evaluated all subsequent events for adjustment to or disclosure in these
financial statements through the issuance of these financial statements on November 4, 2009. The
results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for
the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in
conjunction with our December 31, 2008 Consolidated Financial Statements, as filed with the SEC in
our Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2008 have been
restated due to the required retroactive application of a new accounting standard that we adopted
as of January 1, 2009, as further discussed below. In addition, in 2009 we began reporting the
direct costs associated with our investment management segment as Investment Management Expenses in
our Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs include the property-level management
expenses associated with the properties owned by the unconsolidated investees (previously included
in Rental Expenses) and the direct investment management expenses associated with the asset
management of the property funds (previously included in General and Administrative Expenses).
Therefore, we have reclassified these expenses in 2008, as well as certain other 2008 amounts, to
conform to the 2009 financial statement presentation.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements. On July 1, 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards
Board (FASB) issued the FASB Accounting Standards Codification (ASC or the Codification) that
establishes the exclusive authoritative reference for U.S. GAAP for use in financial statements,
except for SEC rules and interpretive releases, which are also authoritative GAAP for SEC
registrants. The Codification will supersede all existing non-SEC accounting and reporting
standards.
On January 1, 2009, we adopted a new accounting standard that establishes a framework for measuring
fair value of non-financial assets and liabilities that are not required or permitted to be
measured at fair value on a recurring
basis but only in certain circumstances, such as a business combination. This adoption did not have
a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
7
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
In December 2007, the FASB issued two new accounting standards for business combinations and
consolidations. These accounting standards require most identifiable assets, liabilities,
noncontrolling interests and goodwill acquired in a business combination to be recorded at full
fair value and require noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority interests) to
be reported as a component of equity, which changes the accounting for transactions with
noncontrolling interest holders. The accounting standard related to business combinations applies
to business combinations occurring after the effective date, including any that existed at the
effective date. This accounting standard broadens the scope of what qualifies as a business
combination to include the acquisition of an operating property by us and our unconsolidated
investees. Transaction costs related to the acquisition of a business that were previously
capitalized are expensed under this new standard. The transaction costs related to the acquisition
of land and equity method investments continue to be capitalized. This accounting standard requires
subsequent adjustments of tax uncertainties that occur after the purchase price allocation period
to be recognized in earnings. Previously, these adjustments were recognized in the purchase price
as an adjustment to goodwill. The initial adoption of this accounting standard, as of January 1,
2009, did not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. The
adoption of the accounting standard regarding consolidations, as of January 1, 2009, changed the
classification and reporting of our noncontrolling interests (previously referred to as minority
interests). The provisions of both accounting standards may have a more significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements in the future depending on our acquisition activity and any
potential changes to our tax uncertainties.
In March 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires enhanced disclosures related to
derivative instruments and hedging activities. This accounting standard requires disclosures
relating to: (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (ii) how derivative instruments
and related hedge items are accounted for; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related hedged
items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. We adopted this
accounting standard on January 1, 2009 and applied it prospectively. As the accounting standard
only requires enhanced disclosures, the adoption did not have a significant impact on our
consolidated financial statements.
In May 2008, the FASB issued an accounting standard that requires separate accounting for the debt
and equity components of convertible debt. The value assigned to the debt component is the
estimated fair value at the date of issuance of a similar bond without the conversion feature,
which results in the debt being recorded at a discount. The resulting debt discount is amortized
over the estimated remaining life of the debt (the first cash redemption date in 2012 and 2013 for
our outstanding convertible notes) as additional non-cash interest expense. We adopted this
accounting standard on January 1, 2009 on a retroactive basis to the convertible notes we issued in
2007 and 2008. As a result, we restated 2008 amounts to reflect the adjustments to debt and
equity, as well as the additional interest expense. This restatement also impacted the interest we
would have capitalized related to our development activities for both properties we currently own,
as well as properties that were contributed or sold during the periods the convertible notes were
outstanding.
The following tables illustrate the impact of this accounting standard on our Consolidated Balance
Sheet and Consolidated Statement of Operations for these periods (in thousands):

See Note 6 for additional information on our convertible notes.
In April 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that amends previous accounting standards
and requires disclosures about fair value of financial instruments in interim financial statements.
These disclosures were previously only required in annual financial statements. On June 30, 2009,
we adopted this accounting standard, which did not have a material impact on our consolidated
financial statements, as the only requirement was additional disclosures.
In June 2009, the FASB issued a new accounting standard that will be effective on January 1, 2010.
This accounting standard is a revision to a previous FASB interpretation and changes how a
reporting entity evaluates whether an entity is a variable interest entity (VIE) and which entity
is considered the primary beneficiary of a VIE and is therefore required to consolidate such VIE.
This accounting standard will also require assessments at each reporting period of which party
within the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary and will require a number of new disclosures
related to VIEs. We are currently evaluating the impact that this accounting standard will have on
our financial position and results of operations upon adoption.
2. Sale of China Operations and Property Fund Interest in Japan
On February 9, 2009, we sold our operations in China and our property fund interests in Japan to
affiliates of GIC Real Estate, the real estate investment company of the Government of Singapore
Investment Corporation (GIC RE), for total cash consideration of $1.3 billion ($845.5 million
related to China and $500.0 million related to the Japan investments). We used these proceeds
primarily to pay down borrowings on our credit facilities.
All of the assets and liabilities associated with our China operations were classified as
Discontinued Operations Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale in our accompanying Consolidated
Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008, at
which time we recognized an impairment of $198.2 million based on the carrying values of these
assets and liabilities, as compared with the estimated sales proceeds less costs to sell. In
connection with the sale in the first

quarter of 2009, we recognized a $3.3 million gain. The results of our China operations are
presented as discontinued operations in our accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations for
all periods.
In connection with the sale of our investments in the Japan property funds, we recognized a net
gain of $180.2 million. The gain is reflected as CDFS Proceeds in our Consolidated Statements of
Operations, as it represents the recognition of previously deferred gains on the contribution of
properties to these property funds based on our ownership interest in the property funds at the
time of original contribution. We also recognized $20.5 million in current income tax expense
related to a portion of the transaction.
In addition, as part of this transaction, we entered into an agreement to sell one property in
Japan to GIC RE. Therefore, this property was classified as held for sale as of December 31, 2008,
along with borrowings of $108.6 million under our credit facilities, and its operations have been
included in discontinued operations for all periods presented in our accompanying Consolidated
Statements of Operations. In April 2009, we sold the Japan property for proceeds of $128.1 million,
resulting in a gain of $13.1 million. See Note 5 for detail of all amounts included in discontinued
operations.

At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had 1,201 and 1,297 distribution properties
consisting of 194.1 million square feet and 195.7 million square feet, respectively. This
includes operating properties we developed with the intent to contribute to an unconsolidated
property fund that we previously referred to as our CDFS properties. Beginning December 31,
2008, we now intend to generally hold these properties and we refer to them as our completed
development properties (see Note 1 and Note 10 for information about changes to our business
segments). |
|

|
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had 35 and 34 retail properties consisting of
1.5 million square feet and 1.4 million square feet, respectively. We also owned two office
properties with aggregate cost of $38.6 million at September 30, 2009 and one office property
with a cost of $7.9 million at December 31, 2008. |
|
(3) |
|
Properties under development consisted of 9 properties aggregating 3.0 million square feet at
September 30, 2009 and 65 properties aggregating 19.8 million square feet at December 31,
2008. Our total expected
investment upon completion of the properties under development at September 30, 2009 was $438.3
million, including development and leasing costs. |
|
(4) |
|
Land held for development consisted of 10,417 acres and 10,134 acres at September 30, 2009
and December 31, 2008, respectively. |

Other investments include: (i) certain infrastructure costs related to projects we are
developing on behalf of others; (ii) costs incurred related to future development projects,
including purchase options on land; (iii) costs related to our corporate office buildings,
which we occupy; (iv) earnest money deposits associated with potential acquisitions; and (v)
restricted funds that are held in escrow pending the completion of tax-deferred exchange
transactions involving operating properties. |
At September 30, 2009, we owned real estate assets in North America (Canada, Mexico and the United
States), Europe (Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the
Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom) and Asia (Japan and
South Korea).
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized net gains of $22.4 million related
to the sale of land parcels ($4.5 million gain), the contribution of properties ($2.5 million
gain), the recognition of previously deferred gains from three property funds when those property
funds sold properties to third parties that we originally contributed ($9.4 million in gains) and a
$6.0 million gain related to the settlement of an obligation to our fund partner in connection with
the restructuring of ProLogis North American Industrial Fund II in July 2009. The contribution
activity resulted in cash proceeds of $454.4 million and included the contribution of 30
development properties aggregating 6.1 million square feet to ProLogis European Properties Fund II
(PEPF II).
If we realize a gain on contribution of a property, we recognize the portion attributable to the
third party ownership in the property fund until the property is sold to a third party. If we
realize a loss on contribution, we recognize the full amount of the impairment as soon as it is
known. Due to our continuing involvement through our ownership in the property fund, these
dispositions are not included in discontinued operations. As discussed earlier, in 2008,
contribution activity was reported as CDFS Proceeds and Cost of CDFS Dispositions within our CDFS
business segment. See Note 5 for further discussion of properties we sold to third parties that are
reported in discontinued operations.
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recorded impairment charges of $39.7
million and $123.9 million, respectively, related primarily to completed development properties in
Europe that we have contributed or expected to contribute to PEPF II. The charges represent the
difference between the estimated proceeds from disposition and our cost basis at the time of
contribution and were due to our intent to contribute or sell these properties at the time of the
impairment charge. We estimated the proceeds from contribution of these properties based on the
future net rental income of the property and the expected market capitalization rates or on third
party appraisals. In the case of properties to be contributed to PEPF II, we further adjusted the
capitalization rates based on our contribution agreement with PEPF II, which was modified during
the fourth quarter of 2008. To determine the contribution value for 2009 contributions, after the
capitalization rate is determined based on a third party appraisal, a margin of 0.25 to 0.75
percentage points is added depending on the quarter contributed. This modification was made due to
the belief that appraisals were lagging true market conditions. The agreement provides for an
adjustment in our favor if the appraised values at the end of 2010 are higher than those used to
determine contribution values. These properties do not meet the criteria to be classified as held
for sale at September 30, 2009.
The estimate of proceeds from disposition is based on assumptions that are consistent with our
estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business
and represents primarily Level 3 input, as discussed in Note 9. However, assumptions and estimates
about future rental income, market capitalization rates and the timing of the contribution are
complex and subjective. Changes in economic and
operating conditions and the ultimate investment intent that may occur in the future could impact
these assumptions and result in additional impairment charges of these or other real estate
properties.

Property Funds
We have investments in several property funds that own portfolios of operating industrial
properties. Many of these properties were originally developed by ProLogis and contributed to these
property funds, although certain of the property funds have also acquired properties from third
parties. When we contribute a property to a property fund, we may receive ownership interests as
part of the proceeds generated by the contribution. We earn fees for acting as manager of the
property funds and the properties they own. We may earn additional fees by providing other services
including, but not limited to, acquisition, development, construction management, leasing and
financing activities. We may also earn incentive performance returns based on the investors
returns over a specified period.

On July 1, 2009, we and our fund partner amended a loan agreement and the governing
documents of this property fund. The property fund extended the term of a $411.3 million loan
payable to an affiliate of our fund partner, which was scheduled to mature in July 2009, until
2014 with an option for an additional extension until 2016. As part of the restructuring, we
made an $85 million cash capital contribution to the property fund and we may be required to
make an additional cash contribution of up to $25 million for the repayment of debt or other
obligations. In addition, we pledged properties we own directly, valued at approximately $275
million, to serve as additional collateral on the loan and outstanding derivative contracts.
As a result, we are entitled to receive a 10% preferred distribution on all new contributions
paid out of operating cash flow prior to other distributions. Upon liquidation of the property
fund, we are entitled to receive a 10% preferred return per annum on our initial equity
investment and the return of our total investment prior to any other distributions. |
|
(2) |
|
During 2008, PEPR owned approximately 30% of PEPF II. In December 2008, we purchased a 20%
ownership interest in PEPF II from PEPR. In February 2009, PEPR sold its remaining 10%
interest in PEPF II. |
|
(3) |
|
On February 9, 2009, we sold our interests in the Japan property funds resulting in the
recognition of a gain of $180.2 million and current income tax expense of $20.5 million (see
Note 2). |
Several property funds have equity commitments from us and our fund partners. We may fulfill our
equity commitment through property fund contributions or cash. Our fund partners fulfill their
equity commitment with cash. To the extent a property fund acquires properties from a third party
or requires cash to pay-off debt or has other cash needs, we may be required or agree to contribute
our proportionate share of the equity component in cash to the property fund. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, we made cash contributions into the property funds of $196.8
million and loaned $25.4 million to a property fund (discussed below). The contributions included $106.6 million (in respect of our 20% ownership interest that
we acquired from PEPR in December 2008) in connection with the contribution of 30 properties to
PEPF II, $85 million to
ProLogis North American Industrial Fund II (as discussed above) and
amounts to ProLogis North American Industrial Fund and ProLogis North American Properties Fund XI for the repayment of debt.
Summarized financial information of the property funds (for the entire entity, not our
proportionate share) and our investment in such funds is presented below (dollars in millions):

In North America, certain property funds are or have been a party to interest rate swap
contracts that were initially designated as cash flow hedges and used to mitigate interest
expense volatility associated with movements of interest rates in future debt issuances.
Certain of these derivative contracts no longer meet the requirements for hedge accounting
and, therefore, the changes in fair value of these contracts are recorded through earnings,
along with the gain or loss on settlement of the underlying debt instrument. In Japan, each of
the property funds were party to interest rate swap contracts that did not qualify for hedge
accounting and all of the change in fair value was recorded through earnings. |

As of September 30, 2009, ProLogis North American Industrial Fund II had outstanding interest
rate swap contracts, with notional amounts aggregating $181.9 million resulting in a liability
at fair value of $28.8 million and swap rates ranging from 5.78% to 5.83%. |
|
(2) |
|
In September 2009, two North American property funds recorded impairment charges aggregating
$11.1 million related to properties they expect to sell. During the three and nine months
ended September 30, 2009, PEPR sold 4 and 14 properties to unrelated third parties that
resulted in a gain of $4.0 million and a loss of $15.3 million, respectively. |
|
(3) |
|
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, ProLogis North American Industrial Fund
paid off debt scheduled to mature in 2011 and 2012 at a $32.4 million discount. This resulted
in the recognition of a gain on early extinguishment of debt that was included in net
earnings. |
|
(4) |
|
During the first quarter of 2009, we and our fund partner each loaned $25.4 million to
ProLogis North American Industrial Fund III that was used to repay maturing debt of the
property fund. These notes will be paid with operating cash flow, mature at dissolution of the
property fund and bear interest at LIBOR plus 8%. As of September 30, 2009, the outstanding
balance was $23.2 million. In addition, as of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008,
ProLogis Mexico Industrial Fund had a note payable to us for $14.3 million and $15.2 million,
respectively. The remaining amounts represent current balances from services provided by us. |
|
(5) |
|
As of September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, we had not guaranteed any of the third party
debt of the property funds. On July 1, 2009, in connection with the restructuring and
amendment of the partnership and loan agreements discussed earlier, we pledged direct owned
properties, valued at approximately $275 million, to serve as additional collateral for the
secured loan of ProLogis North American Industrial Fund II payable to an affiliate of our fund
partner and outstanding derivative contracts. |
|
(6) |
|
Represents our weighted average ownership interest in all property funds based on each
entitys contribution to total assets, before depreciation, net of other liabilities. |
|
(7) |
|
The difference between our ownership interest of the property funds equity and our
investment balance results principally from three types of transactions: (i) deferring a
portion of the gains we recognize from a contribution of one of our properties to a property
fund as a result of our continuing ownership in the property (see next footnote); (ii)
recording additional costs associated with our investment in the property fund; and (iii)
advances to the property fund. |
|
(8) |
|
This amount is recorded as a reduction to our investment and represents the gains that were
deferred when we contributed a property to a property fund due to our continuing ownership in
the property. |
Other unconsolidated investees
At September 30, 2009, we had investments in entities that develop and own industrial and retail
properties, perform land and mixed-use development activity, own a hotel and own office properties.

Included in this balance is $137.4 million, representing our 25% investment in and advances
to a joint venture that develops retail and mixed use properties. In light of the current
environment, we have been evaluating our options associated with this investment. During the
second quarter of 2009, the management of this company implemented a restructuring plan. The
plan will include using the proceeds received from the orderly disposition of assets to repay
debt and return capital to the equity investors. We believe that we will recover our
investment based on the current plan, however, we will continue to monitor the progress in
executing the plan and thereby our ability to realize our investment. |
|
(2) |
|
This investment relates to a new joint venture in Japan to which we contributed land. The
joint venture is with one partner and is accounted for under the equity method as we do not
have majority voting rights and all substantive decisions require unanimous consent of both us
and our partner. Our partner is responsible for funding 51% of the costs of construction and
we are responsible for 49%. The joint venture expects to obtain secured financing and use the
proceeds to reimburse our costs of construction. Following financing, our total investment in
this joint venture is expected to equal our land investment balance and represent 60% of the
joint venture equity. |
5. Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations:
The operations of the properties held for sale or disposed of to third parties and the aggregate
net gains recognized upon their disposition are presented as discontinued operations in our
Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented, unless the property was developed
under a pre-sale agreement. Interest expense is included in discontinued operations only if it is
directly attributable to these operations or properties.
As discussed in Note 2, all of the assets and liabilities associated with our China operations were
classified as held for sale in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2008,
as well as one property in Japan that we sold to a third party in April 2009.
We had no properties classified as held for sale at September 30, 2009.
During the first nine months of 2009, other than our China operations, we disposed of 128
properties to third parties aggregating 13.7 million square feet, 3 of which were development
properties. This includes a portfolio of 90 properties aggregating 9.6 million square feet that
were sold to a single venture and we will continue to act as property manager for this venture.
During all of 2008, we disposed of 15 properties to third parties, 6 of which were development
properties, as well as land subject to ground leases.

(Unaudited)
As of September 30, 2009, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants.
During 2009, in connection with our announced initiatives to reduce debt, we purchased portions of several
series of notes outstanding at a discount and extinguished some secured mortgage debt prior to maturity, as

Although we reduced our debt obligations by $2.0 million and $226.3 million in the three and
nine months ended September 30, 2009, respectively, the gain is calculated based on the
recorded debt balance, including related debt issuance costs, premiums and discounts. |
Credit Facilities
In July 2009, we exercised our option to extend the maturity of our Global Line to October 6, 2010.
In August 2009, we amended our Global Line, extending the maturity to August 21, 2012 and reducing
the size of the aggregate commitments to $2.25 billion (subject to currency fluctuations), after
October 6, 2010. The Global Line will continue to have a
capacity of $3.8 billion (subject to
currency fluctuations) through October 6, 2010. We may draw funds from a syndicate of banks in US
dollars, euros, Japanese yen, British pound sterling and Canadian dollars, and until October 2010,
South Korean won. Lenders who did not participate in the amended and extended facility will be
subject to the pre-amendment pricing structure through October 6, 2010, while the new pricing structure
is effective immediately to extending lenders. Based on our public debt ratings and a pricing grid, interest
on the borrowings under the Global Line accrues at a variable rate based upon the interbank offered
rate in each respective jurisdiction in which the borrowings are outstanding (2.27% per annum at
September 30, 2009 based on a weighted average using local currency rates).
We also have a 12.6 million British pound sterling facility, which matures December 31, 2009.
During the first quarter of 2009, we reduced the commitment of this facility to the balance of the
outstanding letters of credit.
As of September 30, 2009, we had outstanding borrowings of $823.8 million and letters of credit of
$124.1 million under these facilities, resulting in remaining borrowing capacity of approximately
$2.9 billion.
Convertible Notes
We issued three series of convertible senior notes in 2007 and 2008 and refer to them in the
aggregate as Convertible Notes. The Convertible Notes are senior obligations of ProLogis and are
convertible, under certain circumstances, for cash, our common shares or a combination of cash and
our common shares, at our option, at a
18
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
conversion rate per $1,000 of principal amount of the notes
of 13.1614 shares for the March 2007 issuance, 12.2926 shares for the November 2007 issuance and
13.1203 shares for the May 2008 issuance. The initial conversion price ($76.58 for the March 2007
issuance, $82.00 for the November 2007 issuance and $76.22 for the May 2008 issuance) represented a
premium of approximately 20% over the closing price of our common shares at the date of first sale
and is subject to adjustment under certain circumstances. The Convertible Notes, issued in 2007
and 2008, are redeemable at our option beginning in 2012 and 2013, respectively, for the principal
amount plus accrued and unpaid interest and at any time prior to maturity to the extent necessary
to preserve our status as a REIT. Holders of the Convertible Notes have the right to require us to
repurchase their Convertible Notes for cash on specific dates approximately every five years
beginning in 2012 and 2013 and at any time prior to their maturity upon certain limited
circumstances. Therefore, we have reflected these amounts in 2012 and 2013 in the schedule of debt
maturities below based on the first put date and we will amortize the discount through these
dates.
While we have the legal right to settle the conversion in either cash or shares, we intend to
settle the principal balance of the Convertible Notes in cash and, therefore, we have not included
the effect of the conversion of these notes in our computation of diluted earnings per share. Based
on the current conversion rates, 30.6 million shares would be required to settle the principal
amount in shares. Such potentially dilutive shares, and the corresponding adjustment to interest
expense, are not included in our computation of diluted earnings per share. The amount in excess of
the principal balance of the notes (the Conversion Spread) will be settled in cash or, at our
option, ProLogis common shares. If the Conversion Spread becomes dilutive to our earnings per
share, (i.e., if our share price exceeds $75.98 for the March 2007 issuance, $81.35 for the
November 2007 issuance or $76.22 for the May 2008 issuance) we will include the shares in our
computation of diluted earnings per share.

Senior and Other Notes
On August 11, 2009, we issued $350.0 million of 7.625% senior notes maturing in 2014, at 99.489% of par value for an all-in-rate of 7.75%. The proceeds
were used to repay borrowings under our credit facilities and other debt.
During the third quarter of 2009, we repaid maturing debt of $250.0 million with borrowings under
our Global Line.
On October 1, 2009, we completed a consent solicitation with regard to our senior notes, other than
our Convertible Notes, to amend certain covenants and events of default contained in the indenture
governing the notes and to provide that all series of the senior notes issued under the indenture,
other than the Convertible Notes, will have the same financial covenants and events of default. Due to the terms of the Convertible Notes, they
are not subject to financial covenants.

Secured Mortgage Debt
During the second quarter of 2009, we issued $391.7 million in secured mortgage debt including $101.8
million at 6.5% due July 2014, $245.5 million at 7.55% due July 2019 and a ¥4.3 billion TMK bond
($47.4 million at September 30, 2009) at 4.09% (effective fixed rate including interest rate swap
contract) that matures in June 2012. TMK bonds are a financing vehicle in Japan for special purpose
companies known as TMKs. These financings are secured by 65 real estate properties with an
aggregate undepreciated cost of $1.2 billion at September 30, 2009.

|
The maturities in 2012 and 2013 include the aggregate principal amounts of convertible notes
of $1,107.5 million and $1,276.8 million, respectively, based on the year in which the holders
first have the right to require us to repurchase their notes. |

|
The convertible notes issued in November 2007 are included as 2013 maturities since the
holders have the right to require us to repurchase their notes for cash in January 2013. The
holders of these notes also have the option to convert their notes in November 2012, which we
may settle in cash or common shares, at our option. |
7. Long-Term Compensation:
Our long-term incentive plans provide for grants of share options, stock appreciation rights, full
value awards and cash incentive awards to employees and other persons, including outside trustees.
The full value awards include restricted share units (RSUs), contingent performance shares
(CPSs) and performance share awards (PSAs).

In 2009, we granted 829,571 PSAs to certain employees of the company that vest over three years and
will be earned based on the attainment of certain individual and company goals for 2009. The
ultimate number of shares to be issued may vary from 50 150% of the award.
8. Earnings Per Common Share:
We determine basic earnings per share based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. We compute diluted earnings per share based on the weighted average
number of common shares outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average effect from all
outstanding potentially dilutive instruments.
The following table sets forth the computation of our basic and diluted earnings per share (in
thousands, except per share amounts):

ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively and 6,875 and 1,769 were anti-dilutive for
nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. During a loss period, the effect
of stock awards is not included as the impact is anti-dilutive. |
On April 14, 2009, we completed a public offering of 174.8 million common shares at a price of
$6.60 per share (Equity Offering). We received net proceeds of $1.1 billion that were used to
repay borrowings under our credit

facilities. During the third quarter of 2009, we issued 29.8 million shares and received net
proceeds of approximately $325.1 million under our at the market equity issuance program.
9. Financial Instruments:
Derivative Financial Instruments
In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to global market risks, including the
effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage these risks, we
may enter into various derivatives contracts. Foreign currency contracts, including forwards and
options, may be used to manage foreign currency exposure. We may use interest rate swaps to manage
the effect of interest rate fluctuations. We do not use derivative financial instruments for
trading purposes. The majority of our derivative financial instruments are customized derivative
transactions and are not exchange-traded. Management reviews our hedging program, derivative
positions, and overall risk management strategy on a regular basis. We only enter into
transactions that we believe will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying risk.
Our use of derivatives does generate the risk that counterparties may default on a derivative
contract. We establish exposure limits for each counterparty to minimize this risk and provide
counterparty diversification. Substantially all of our derivative exposures are with counterparties
that have long-term credit ratings of single-A or better. We enter into master agreements with
counterparties that generally allow for netting of certain exposures; therefore, the actual loss we
would recognize if all counterparties failed to perform as contracted would be significantly lower.
To mitigate pre-settlement risk, minimum credit standards become more stringent as the duration of
the derivative financial instrument increases. To minimize the concentration of credit risk, we
enter into derivative transactions with a portfolio of financial institutions. Based on these
factors, we consider the risk of counterparty default to be minimal.
All derivatives are recognized at fair value in the Consolidated Balance Sheets within the line
items Other Assets or Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses, as applicable. We do not net our
derivative position by counterparty for purposes of balance sheet presentation and disclosure. The
accounting for gains and losses that result from changes in the fair values of derivative
instruments depends on whether the derivatives are designated as and qualify as hedging
instruments. Derivatives can be designated as fair value hedges, cash flow hedges or hedges of net
investments in foreign operations. We do not typically designate derivatives as fair value hedges
or hedges of net investments.
Changes in the fair value of derivatives that are designated and qualify as cash flow hedges are
recorded in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss). We reclassify changes in the fair
value of derivatives into the applicable line item in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in
which the hedged items are recorded in the same period that the underlying hedged items affect
earnings. Due to the high degree of effectiveness between the hedging instruments and the
underlying exposures hedged, fluctuations in the value of the derivative instruments will generally
be offset by changes in the fair values or cash flows of the underlying exposures being hedged. The
changes in fair values of derivatives that were not designated and/or did not qualify as hedging
instruments are immediately recognized into earnings.
For derivatives that will be accounted for as hedging instruments in accordance with the accounting
standards, we formally designate and document, at inception, the financial instrument as a hedge of
a specific underlying
exposure, the risk management objective and the strategy for undertaking the hedge transaction. In
addition, we formally assess both at inception and at least quarterly thereafter, whether the
derivatives used in hedging transactions are effective at offsetting changes in either the fair
values or cash flows of the related underlying exposures. Any ineffective portion of a derivative
financial instruments change in fair value is immediately recognized into earnings. Derivatives
not designated as hedges are not speculative and are used to manage our exposure to foreign
currency fluctuations but do not meet the strict hedge accounting requirements.
Our interest rate risk management strategy is to limit the impact of future interest rate changes
on earnings and cash flows. To achieve this objective, we primarily borrow on a fixed rate basis
for longer-term debt issuances. The
22
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
maximum length of time that we hedge our exposure to future cash flows is typically less than 10
years. We use cash flow hedges to minimize the variability in cash flows of assets or liabilities
or forecasted transactions caused by fluctuations in interest rates. We typically designate our
interest rate swap agreements as cash flow hedges as these derivative instruments may be used to
manage the interest rate risk on potential future debt issuances or to fix the interest rate on a
variable rate debt issuance. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is
reported as a component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in our Consolidated
Balance Sheets, and reclassified into the line item, Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statement
of Operations over the corresponding period of the hedged item. Losses on the derivative
representing hedge ineffectiveness are recognized in Interest Expense at the time the
ineffectiveness occurred.
There was no ineffectiveness recorded during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009 and
2008. The amount reclassified to interest expense for the three and nine months ended September
30, 2009 and 2008 is not considered material.
We generally have the following derivative contracts not designated as hedges:
|
|
Foreign currency forwards we may use foreign currency forward contracts to manage the
foreign currency fluctuations of intercompany loans not deemed to be a long-term investment
and certain transactions denominated in a currency other than the entitys functional
currency. These contracts are marked-to-market through earnings, as they are not designated
as hedges. The gains or losses resulting from these derivative instruments are included in
Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Losses), Net in our Consolidated Statement of Operations. For
contracts associated with intercompany loans, the impact on earnings is generally offset by
the remeasurement gains and losses recognized on the related intercompany loans. We had no
outstanding foreign currency forwards at September 30, 2009. |
|
|
|
Foreign currency put options we may use foreign currency put option contracts to manage
foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the projected net operating income of our
foreign consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated investees. These contracts are
marked-to-market through earnings in Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Losses), Net, as they do
not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. We had no outstanding foreign currency put
options at September 30, 2009. |

During the first nine months of 2009, we entered into and settled forward contracts to buy
yen to manage the foreign currency fluctuations related to the sale of our investments in the
Japan property funds and recognized losses of $5.7 million in Foreign Currency Exchange Gains
(Losses), Net in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the first nine months of
2008, we recognized net losses of $3.2 million associated with forward contracts on certain
intercompany loans. These losses were also included in Foreign Currency Exchange Gains
(Losses), Net. |

In June 2009, we entered into an interest rate swap contract to fix the interest rate on our
variable rate TMK bond (¥4.3 billion) that matures in June 2012. We designated this contract
as a cash flow hedge and it qualifies for hedge accounting treatment. We have recorded a
liability of $0.2 million in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses in our Consolidated Balance
Sheets at September 30, 2009. |

During the first nine months of 2008, in connection with the issuance of notes, we entered
into and unwound interest rate swap contracts and recognized a decrease in value of $3.3
million in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss in ProLogis Shareholders Equity on our
Consolidated Balance Sheets and began amortizing as an increase to Interest Expense as
interest payments are made on the related notes. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
We have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information
and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment
and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they
are not necessarily indicative of amounts that we would realize upon disposition.
The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described below:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that
the entity has the ability to access. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Observable inputs, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as
quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for
identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other
inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity
and that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This
includes certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar
techniques that use significant unobservable inputs. |
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the carrying amounts of certain of our financial
instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, accounts and notes receivable and accounts
payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term nature
of these instruments, the recent acquisition of these items or, in the case of notes receivable,
adjustments to fair value made in connection with impairment charges recorded in 2008.
At September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, the fair value of our senior notes and convertible
notes, have been estimated based upon quoted market prices for the same (Level 1) or similar (Level
2) issues when current quoted market prices are available, the fair value of our credit facilities
have been estimated by discounting the future cash flows using rates and borrowing spreads
currently available to us (Level 3), and the fair value of our secured mortgage debt and assessment bonds
that does not have current quoted market prices available have been estimated by discounting the
future cash flows using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities
(Level 3). The fair value of our derivative financial instruments are determined through widely
accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of
each derivative (Level 2). The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value in
the table below are the result of differences in interest rates and/or borrowing spreads that were
available to us at September 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008, as compared with those in effect when
the debt was issued or acquired. In addition, based on debt market conditions as of September 30,
2009 and December 31, 2008, many of our public debt issuances were trading at a discount to par
value. The senior notes and many of the issues of secured mortgage debt contain pre-payment penalties or
yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at the lower rates
exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so.

10. Business Segments:
As discussed in Note 1, we modified our business strategy during the fourth quarter of 2008 to no
longer focus on the CDFS business segment. We made contributions and dispositions of CDFS
properties through December 2008 and have reported the results of operations of this activity
within this business segment. As of December 31, 2008, we transferred all of the assets from the
CDFS business segment into our two remaining segments. We now intend to principally hold the
properties we had previously planned to contribute, and, therefore, we have transferred these
assets to our direct owned segment. The investments we have in joint ventures have been transferred
to our investment management segment. Our current segments are as follows:
|
|
Direct Owned representing the direct long-term ownership of industrial distribution and
retail properties. Each operating property is considered to be an individual operating segment
having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based
upon geographic location. We own real estate in North America (Canada, Mexico and the United
States), Europe (Austria, Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the
Netherlands, Poland, Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and Asia (Japan
and South Korea). Also included in this segment is the development of
properties for continued direct ownership, including land held for development and properties
currently under development. In addition, in 2009, we also include the land we own and lease to
customers under ground leases that was previously included in our other operating segments.
Therefore, we have reclassified 2008 amounts to conform to the 2009 presentation. |
|
|
|
Investment Management representing the long-term investment management of property funds
and industrial and retail joint ventures and the properties they own. We recognize our
proportionate share of the earnings or losses from our investments in unconsolidated property
funds and certain joint ventures operating in North America, Europe and Asia. Along with the
income recognized under the equity method, we include fees and incentives earned for services
performed on behalf of the unconsolidated investees and interest income earned on advances to
unconsolidated investees, if any. We utilize our leasing and property management expertise to
efficiently manage the properties and our unconsolidated investees, and we allocate the costs
as Investment Management Expenses in this segment. Each investment in a property fund or joint
venture is considered to be an individual operating segment having similar economic
characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic
location. Our operations in the investment management segment are in North America (Canada,
Mexico and the United States), Europe (Belgium, the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary,
Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and the United Kingdom), and Asia
(Japan, through July 2009, and South Korea). |
In addition, throughout 2008, we operated a third segment. As discussed above, due to changes in
our business strategy, we no longer have a CDFS business segment in 2009, other than as discussed
below for the sale of our investments in Japan.
|
|
CDFS business primarily encompassed our development or acquisition of real estate
properties that were subsequently contributed to a property fund in which we had an ownership
interest and acted as manager, or sold to third parties. The proceeds and related costs of
these dispositions are presented as Developed and Repositioned Properties in the Consolidated
Statements of Operations. In addition, we occasionally acquired a |
25
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
|
|
portfolio of properties with the intent of contributing the portfolio to an existing or future
property fund. The proceeds and related costs of these dispositions are presented as Acquired
Property Portfolios in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. During the period between
the completion of development or acquisition of a property and the date the property is
contributed to a property fund or sold to a third party, the property and its associated
rental income and rental expenses were included in the direct owned segment because the
primary activity associated with the property during that period was leasing. Upon
contribution or sale, the resulting gain or loss was included in the income of the CDFS
business segment. The separate activities in this segment were considered to be individual
operating segments having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the
reportable segment based upon geographic location. When a property that we originally
contributed to a property fund was sold to a third party, we recognized any gain that was
deferred due to our ownership interest in the property fund at the time of contribution as
CDFS proceeds. In 2009, the only activity being reported in the CDFS segment is the gain on
sale of our investments in the Japan property funds as it is essentially the recognition of
gains from this segment that were deferred due to our ownership interests at the time of the
contribution. Our CDFS business segment operations in 2008 were in North America (Canada,
Mexico and the United States), in Europe (the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy,
the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and in Asia (Japan
and South Korea). |
As a result of the changes in our business strategy and segments, we have restated the operating
results of certain items in prior years to agree to the current year segment presentation. We are
including the earnings (loss) recognized from our investments in retail and industrial joint
ventures that were previously reported in our CDFS
business segment in the investment management segment and certain expenses previously reported in
the CDFS business segment are now reported in the direct owned segment.
In addition, we present the operations and net gains associated with properties sold to third
parties or classified as held for sale as discontinued operations, which results in the restatement
of prior years operating results to exclude the items presented as discontinued operations.
Reconciliations are presented below for: (i) each reportable business segments revenue from
external customers to our total revenues; (ii) each reportable business segments net operating
income from external customers to our earnings before income taxes; and (iii) each reportable
business segments assets to our total assets. Our chief operating decision makers rely primarily
on net operating income and similar measures to make decisions about allocating resources and
assessing segment performance. The applicable components of our revenues, earnings before income
taxes and total assets are allocated to each reportable business segments revenues, net operating
income and assets. Items that are not directly assignable to a segment, such as certain corporate
income and expenses, are reflected as reconciling items. The following reconciliations are
presented in thousands:

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
ProLogis:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ProLogis and subsidiaries
(the Company) as of September 30, 2009, the related consolidated statements of operations for the
three-month and nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, the related statement of
equity and comprehensive income (loss) for the nine-month period ended September 30, 2009 and the
related statements of cash flows for the nine-month periods ended September 30, 2009 and 2008.
These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Companys management.
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting
Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of
applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and
accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with
the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of
which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole.
Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
As discussed in Note 1 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company adopted FASB Staff
Position APB 14-1, Accounting for Convertible Debt Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon
Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement), also known as FASB Accounting Standards
Codification 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, as of January 1, 2009.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of December
31, 2008, and the related consolidated statements of operations, shareholders equity and
comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in
our report dated February 27, 2009, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated
financial statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated
balance sheet as of December 31, 2008, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to
the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements
and the related notes included in Item 1 of this report and our 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Certain statements contained in this discussion or elsewhere in this report may be deemed
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Words and phrases such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes,
seeks, estimates, designed to achieve, variations of such words and similar expressions are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature.
All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or
anticipate will occur in the future including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth,
development activity and changes in sales or contribution volume or profitability of developed
properties, economic and market conditions in the geographic areas where we operate and the
availability of capital in existing or new property funds are forward-looking statements. These
statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and
assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any
forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our
expectations will be attained and therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from
what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Many of the factors that may
affect outcomes and results are beyond our ability to control. For further discussion of these
factors see Part II, Item 1A. Risk Factors in this report and in our most recent annual report on
Form 10-K. All references to we, us and our refer to ProLogis and our consolidated
subsidiaries.
Managements Overview
We are a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns,
operates and develops real estate properties, primarily industrial properties, in North America,
Europe and Asia (directly and through our unconsolidated investees). Our business is primarily
driven by requirements for modern, well-located inventory space in key global distribution
locations. Our focus on our customers needs has enabled us to become a leading global provider of
industrial distribution properties.
The global financial markets have been undergoing pervasive and fundamental disruptions, which
began to impact us late in the third quarter of 2008. As the global credit crisis worsened in the
fourth quarter of 2008, it was prudent for us to modify our business strategy. As such, we
discontinued most of our new development and acquisition activities in order to focus on our core
business of owning and managing industrial properties. Narrowing our focus has allowed us to take
the necessary steps toward reducing our debt and maximizing liquidity and cash flow and allowed us
to meet the objectives that we established in the fourth quarter of 2008 to:
|
|
reduce our debt at December 31, 2009 by at least $2.0 billion from our debt levels at
September 30, 2008, through debt retirements utilizing proceeds from property contributions
and dispositions, buying back outstanding debt and issuing additional equity; and |
|
|
|
recast our global line of credit. |
These objectives are discussed in more detail in Liquidity and Capital Resources below.
We believe our current business strategy, coupled with the following objectives for both the near
and long-term, will position us to take advantage of business opportunities upon the stabilization
of the global financial markets.
In the following discussion, we will address our progress on meeting the remaining near-term
objectives that we set in the fourth quarter of 2008, which are to:
|
|
simplify our business model and focus on our core business; |
|
|
|
complete the development and leasing of properties currently in our development portfolio; |
31
|
|
manage our core portfolio of industrial distribution properties to maintain and improve our
net operating income stream from these assets; |
|
|
provide exceptional customer service to our current and future customers; |
|
|
generate liquidity through contributions of properties to our property funds and through
sales of real estate to third parties; and |
|
|
reduce our general and administrative expenses through various cost savings initiatives,
including a reduction in workforce program. |
Our longer-term objectives are to:
|
|
employ a conservative growth model; |
|
|
continue to focus on staggering and extending our debt maturities; |
|
|
develop pre-leased buildings on our land using development capital or take out commitments from one of our partners or customers, or otherwise monetize our land
holdings through dispositions; and |
|
|
grow the property funds by utilizing the property fund structure for the development of
properties and the opportunistic acquisition of properties from third parties. |
Our current business strategy includes two operating segments: (i) direct owned and (ii) investment
management. Our direct owned segment represents the direct long-term ownership of industrial and
retail properties. Our investment management segment represents the long-term investment management
of property funds, other unconsolidated investees and the properties they own.
We generate and seek to increase revenues; earnings; FFO, as defined at the end of Item 2; and cash
flows through our segments primarily as follows:
|
|
Direct Owned Segment Our investment strategy in this segment focuses primarily on the
ownership and leasing of industrial and retail properties in key distribution markets. We may
refer to these properties as core properties or our core portfolio. Also included in this
segment are operating properties we developed with the intent to contribute the properties to
an unconsolidated property fund that we previously referred to as our CDFS properties and,
beginning December 31, 2008, we now refer to as our completed development properties. In
addition, we have industrial properties that are currently under development (also included in
our development portfolio), land available for development and land subject to ground leases
that are part of this segment as well. |
|
|
|
We earn rent from our customers, including reimbursements of certain operating costs, under
long-term operating leases for the properties we own. The revenue in this segment has decreased
due to the contribution of properties to property funds, offset partially with increases in
occupancy levels within our development portfolio. However, rental revenues generated by the
lease-up of newly developed properties have not been adequate to completely offset the loss of
rental revenues from property contributions. We expect our total revenues from this segment will
continue to decrease in 2009 due to the contributions of properties we completed in 2008 and
2009 or that we may make in the remainder of 2009. We intend to grow our revenue in the
remaining properties primarily through increases in occupied square feet in our development
portfolio. Our development portfolio, including completed development properties and those
currently under development, was 58.30% and 41.44% leased at September 30, 2009 and December 31,
2008, respectively. |
|
|
|
Investment Management Segment We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings or
losses from our investments in unconsolidated property funds and certain joint ventures that
are accounted for under the equity method. In addition, we recognize fees and incentives
earned for services performed on behalf of these and other entities. We provide services to
these entities, which may include property management, asset management, acquisition,
financing and development. We may also earn incentives from our property funds |
32
|
|
depending on the return provided to the fund partners over a specified period. We expect future
growth in income recognized to result from growth in existing property funds and other
properties managed through the formation of future property funds or joint ventures. |
|
|
CDFS Business Segment Our CDFS business segment primarily encompassed our development or
acquisition of real estate properties that were subsequently contributed to a property fund in
which we have an ownership interest and act as manager, or sold to third parties. As of
December 31, 2008, all of the assets and liabilities in this segment were transferred into our
two remaining segments. In 2009, we recognized income from the previously deferred gains from
the Japan property funds that were deferred upon original contributions and triggered with the
sale of our investments. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized income
primarily from the contributions of developed properties to the property funds as well as from
dispositions of land and properties to third parties. The income was generated due to the
increased fair value of the properties at the time of contribution, based on third party
appraisals, and income was recognized only to the extent of the third party ownership interest
in the property fund acquiring the property. |
Our intent is to hold and use the properties in our direct owned segment; however, we may
contribute certain properties to a property fund or sell them to third parties, depending on market
conditions and liquidity needs. Beginning in 2009, we report these as net gains on dispositions
rather than CDFS proceeds and cost of CDFS dispositions.
Key Transactions in 2009
|
|
Since December 31, 2008, we have reduced our debt by $3.0 billion (and since September 30,
2008, we have reduced our debt by $3.1 billion) with proceeds from the issuance of equity and
dispositions and contributions of assets as further discussed below. |
|
|
In August 2009, we amended and restated our global line of credit (Global Line),
extending the maturity to August 2012 and reducing the size of our aggregate commitments to
$2.25 billion (subject to currency fluctuations), after
October 2010. The Global Line will continue to have a capacity
of $3.8
billion (subject to currency fluctuations) until October 2010. In connection with the amendment, we repaid the balance
outstanding and terminated our existing multi-currency credit facility (the Credit
Facility), which was scheduled to mature in October 2009. |
|
|
In June 2009, we incurred $391.7 million of secured mortgage debt in four separate transactions. |
|
|
In August 2009, we issued $350 million of 7.625% senior notes due 2014, at 99.489% of par value for an all-in-rate of 7.75%. |
|
|
On October 30, 2009, we issued $600 million of 7.375% senior notes due 2019, at 99.728% of par value for an all-in-rate of 7.414%. |
|
|
In the first nine months of 2009, we repurchased an aggregate of $899.4 million original
principal amount of our senior notes for $673.1 million. We also repaid $227.0 million of
secured mortgage debt with a maturity date of 2012 that had $11.4 million unamortized premium balance remaining.
These transactions resulted in the reduction of our debt obligations by $226.3
million and the recognition of a gain in earnings of $173.2 million, which represented the
difference between the recorded debt balance, including related debt issue costs, premiums and discounts, and the cash consideration
paid. |
|
|
On October 1, 2009, pursuant to a consent solicitation, we amended certain covenants and events of default related to certain of our
senior notes, as further discussed below. |
|
|
During the third quarter, we generated net proceeds of $325.1 million from the issuance of
29.8 million common shares under our at the market equity issuance program after payment of
$6.9 million of commissions paid to the sales agent. |
|
|
On April 14, 2009, we completed a public offering of 174.8 million common shares at a price
of $6.60 per share and received net proceeds of $1.1 billion (Equity Offering). |
|
|
We generated $1.345 billion of cash from the sale of our China operations ($845 million)
and our investments in the Japan property funds ($500 million) in the first quarter of 2009.
We entered into a sale agreement in |
33
|
|
December 2008, at which time we recorded an impairment charge of $198.2 million on our China
operations and classified the assets and liabilities as held for sale. |
|
|
In connection with the sale of our investments in the Japan property funds, we recognized a
net gain of $180.2 million and $20.5 million of current income tax expense. The gain is
reflected as CDFS proceeds as it represents the recognition of previously deferred gains on
the contribution of properties to the property funds based on our ownership interest in the
property funds at the time of original contributions. |
|
|
In the first nine months of 2009, we generated aggregate proceeds of $1.2 billion from the
contribution of 30 development properties to ProLogis European Properties Fund II and the sale
of land parcels and 128 properties to third parties. |
Results of Operations
Nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
We adopted a new accounting standard that requires separate accounting for the debt and equity
components of convertible debt on January 1, 2009, on a retroactive basis, to reflect the new
accounting associated with the convertible notes we issued in 2007 and 2008. As a result, we
restated 2008 amounts to reflect the adjustment to debt and equity, as well as the additional
interest expense. See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for further
information about this restatement.
Net earnings attributable to common shares for the nine months ended September 30 was as follows:

The decrease in net earnings in 2009 from 2008 is due primarily to: (i) lower total gains on
contribution/sale of properties of $150.2 million; and (ii) impairment charges primarily on real
estate properties of $130.5 million; offset by: (i) gains recognized from the early extinguishment
of debt of $173.2 million; (ii) increased foreign currency exchange gains of $67.9 million
primarily unrealized and due to intercompany debt; and (iii) income of $16.3 million from the
termination of the Japan properties management agreement.
In addition to the items noted above, net earnings per share is also impacted by the issuance of
204.6 million common shares through the Equity Offering and our at the market equity issuance
program.
In the discussion that follows, we present the results of operations as net operating income by
reportable business segment. See Note 10 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for
further description of our segments and a reconciliation of net operating income to earnings before
income taxes.
Direct Owned Segment
The net operating income of the direct owned segment consists of rental income and rental expenses
from industrial and retail properties that we own. The size and leased percentage of our direct
owned operating portfolio fluctuates due to the timing of development, contributions and
dispositions of properties and impacts the net operating income we recognize in this segment. Also
included in this segment is land we own and lease to customers under ground leases, development
management and other income and land holding and acquisition costs.

Included at September 30, 2009 are 50 properties aggregating 15.3 million square feet for
which development was completed in 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we
contributed or sold 32 properties (11 properties that were completed in 2009) from this
portfolio that were 96.5% leased at the time of contribution or sale. |
The decrease in rental and other income in 2009 from 2008 is due primarily to the contributions of
properties in 2009 and 2008 (generally completed development properties) to the unconsolidated
property funds and a decrease in the leased percentage of our core industrial properties, partially
offset by new leasing activity in our completed development properties. Due to our continuing
involvement with the property funds, the operations of the contributed properties are not included
in discontinued operations.
Rental expenses decreased by $11.2 million in 2009 over 2008 primarily due to the properties that
were contributed to the property funds in 2009 and 2008 and lower property management expenses,
offset with increases in expenses due to the completed development properties. Also included in
this segment are other expenses, which increased in 2009 over 2008 by $8.8 million primarily due to
the write-off of costs associated with potential development projects when the development is not
likely of happening and land holding costs. Under the terms of our lease agreements, we are able to
recover the majority of our rental expenses from customers. Rental expense recoveries, included in
both rental income and expenses, were $151.8 million and $165.1 million for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
Investment Management Segment
The net operating income of the investment management segment consists of: (i) earnings or losses
recognized under the equity method from our investments in property funds and certain joint
ventures (that develop or own industrial or retail properties); (ii) fees and incentives earned for
services performed; and (iii) interest earned on advances; offset by (iv) our direct costs of
managing these entities and the properties they own. The net earnings or losses of the
unconsolidated investees may include the following income and expense items, in addition to rental
income and rental expenses: (i) interest income and interest expense; (ii) depreciation and
amortization expenses; (iii) general and administrative expenses; (iv) income tax expense; (v)
foreign currency exchange and derivative gains and losses; (vi) gains or losses on dispositions of
properties or investments; and (vii) impairment charges. The fluctuations in income we recognize in
any given period are generally the result of: (i) variances in the income and expense items of the
unconsolidated investees; (ii) the size of the portfolio and occupancy levels in each period; (iii)
changes in our ownership interest; and (iv) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates at
which we translate our share of net earnings to U.S. dollars, if applicable.
35
Beginning in 2009, we are reporting the direct costs associated with our investment management
segment for all periods presented as a separate line item Investment Management Expenses in our
Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs include the property management expenses
associated with the property-level management of the properties owned by the unconsolidated
investees (previously included in Rental Expenses) and the direct investment management expenses
associated with the asset management of the property funds (previously included in General and
Administrative Expenses). In order to allocate the property management expenses between the
properties owned by us and the properties owned by the unconsolidated investees, we use the square
feet owned at the beginning of the period by the respective portfolios.
The net operating income from the investment management segment was as follows (in thousands):

Represents the income earned by us from our investments in 12 property funds in North
America. Our ownership interests ranged from 20.0% to 50.0% at September 30, 2009. These
property funds on a combined basis owned 850 and 833 properties at September 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively. The increase in properties is due primarily to contributions we made to
certain of the property funds in the fourth quarter of 2008. |
|
|
|
Included in net operating income for 2009 and 2008 are net losses of $7.7 million and $15.4
million, respectively, which represent our proportionate share of realized and unrealized
losses that were recognized by certain of the property funds related to interest rate
derivative contracts that no longer meet the requirements for hedge
accounting. In addition, in
2009, we recognized $2.2 million of losses due to impairment charges recognized by two
property funds on properties they expect to sell and gains of $7.2 million from the early
extinguishment of debt by the North American Industrial Fund. |
|
(2) |
|
Represents the income earned by us from our investments in two property funds in Europe,
ProLogis European Properties (PEPR) and ProLogis European Properties Fund II (PEPF II).
On a combined basis, these funds owned 415 and 362 properties at September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. The increase in properties is due primarily to contributions we made to PEPF II
in 2008 and 2009, offset somewhat by the sale of 14 properties by PEPR to a third party
during the second and third quarters of 2009. Our share of the net loss from these property
sales was $3.8 million. |
|
|
|
Our ownership interest in PEPR was 24.8% and 24.9% at September 30, 2009 and 2008,
respectively. Our ownership interest in PEPF II was 32.7% and 24.5% at September 30, 2009 and
2008, respectively. Our ownership interest in PEPF II at September 30, 2008 included a 17%
direct ownership and a 7.5% indirect ownership (through PEPRs 30% ownership interest in PEPF
II). In December 2008, we acquired from PEPR a 20% ownership interest in PEPF II, and in
February 2009 PEPR sold its remaining 10% interest to third parties. As such, we have only a
direct ownership interest in PEPF II at September 30, 2009. |
|
(3) |
|
Represents the income earned by us from our 20% ownership interest in one property fund in
South Korea and two property funds in Japan through February 2009, at which time we sold our
investments in Japan (see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1). We
continued to manage the Japan properties until July 2009. In connection with the termination
of the management agreement, we earned a termination fee of $16.3 million. At September 30,
2009 and 2008, the property funds, in which we maintain an ownership interest, on a combined
basis owned 12 and 86 properties. |
|
(4) |
|
We have restated the net operating income of this segment for 2008 to include our
proportionate share of the net earnings of certain of our other unconsolidated investees that
principally develop and operate industrial and retail properties and were previously included
in the CDFS business segment. |
36
CDFS Business Segment
Net operating income of the CDFS business segment for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 was
$180.2 million, compared with $548.0 million for the same period in 2008. As discussed earlier, our
business strategy no longer includes the CDFS business segment. The amount in 2009 is the gain from
the sale of our investments in the Japan property funds in February 2009, while the amount in 2008
consisted of gains recognized principally from the contributions of 128 properties to the property
funds.
Operational Outlook
During the first nine months of 2009, industrial property fundamentals have continued to mirror
global economic weakness. We are experiencing a very challenging leasing environment throughout the
majority of our markets with increased leasing costs and lower rental rates due to the competitive
markets. Partially offsetting the impact of these market trends on our business is our continued
strong customer retention.
However, during the third quarter, the global market fundamentals began to show signs of stability.
Globally, industrial demand is still soft, but we are seeing signs of increased customer activity.
Market occupancy declines are slowing globally and leasing activity has increased. Market rents remain
lower than a year ago and we expect this to remain the case for the foreseeable future. However, we
believe this situation will reverse itself when market occupancies trend upward.
The industry as a whole has had sharply reduced levels of new supply. We expect demand in the U.S.
to improve as Gross Domestic Product (GDP) growth returns. We believe significant obsolescence
and ownership shifts, in the industry as a whole, in Europe and Asia will continue to drive demand
in those regions.
In our total operating portfolio, including properties managed by us and owned by our
unconsolidated investees that are accounted for under the equity method, we leased 76.8 million
square feet and 121.5 million square feet of space during the first nine months of 2009 and the
year ended December 31, 2008, respectively, including 92.7 million square feet of leases signed in
the first nine months of 2008. The total operating portfolio was 88.6% leased at September 30,
2009, as compared to 88.4% leased at December 31, 2008.
In our direct owned portfolio, we leased 42.5 million square feet, including 14.2 million square
feet of new leases in our development portfolio (both completed properties and those under
development) in the nine months ended September 30, 2009. Repeat business with our global customers
is important to our long-term growth. During the first nine months of 2009, 48% of the space leased
in our newly developed properties was with repeat customers. Although leasing activity was slower
on expiring leases during the first nine months of 2009, existing customers renewed their leases
72% of the time in 2009 as compared with 77% for the same period in 2008. As of September 30, 2009,
our total direct owned operating portfolio was 81.3% leased, as compared with 82.1% at December 31,
2008. Excluding the development portfolio, our direct owned operating portfolio was 90.4% leased at
September 30, 2009, as compared to 92.2% leased at December 31, 2008.
As we previously disclosed, we have significantly reduced new development starts. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, we started development of five properties totaling 1.5 million
square feet that were all 100% leased prior to the commencement of development. We are seeing an
increase in requests for build-to-suit proposals. In an effort to monetize our land holdings, we
have begun to take advantage of opportunities to develop pre-leased buildings on our land using
development capital or take out commitments from one of our partners or customers. We will continue to evaluate future
opportunities for such developments directly and also within unconsolidated investees.
In addition, during 2009, we completed the development of 61 buildings aggregating 17.8 million
square feet that were 55.0% leased at September 30, 2009, contributed 30 development properties
aggregating 6.1 million square feet that were 96.4% leased to ProLogis European Properties Fund II
and sold 2 development properties to a third party. As of September 30, 2009, our development
portfolio consisted of 169 completed development properties and 9 properties under development. The
development portfolio was 58.3% leased at September 30, 2009, as compared to 41.4% leased at
December 31, 2008. As of September 30, 2009, we expect to incur an additional $322.0 million of
development and leasing costs related to our development portfolio. Our near-term focus is to complete the development and leasing of
these properties. Once these properties are leased, we may continue to own them directly, thereby
creating
37
additional income in our direct owned segment, or we may contribute them to a property fund or sell
them to a third party, generating cash to reduce our debt.
Other Components of Income
Investment Management Expenses
Beginning in 2009, we began reporting the direct costs associated with our investment management
segment for all periods presented as a separate line item Investment Management Expenses in our
Consolidated Statements of Operations. These costs include the property-level management expenses
associated with the properties owned by unconsolidated investees (previously included in Rental
Expenses) and the direct investment management expenses associated with the asset management of the
property funds (previously included in General and Administrative Expenses). We allocated the
property management expenses between the properties owned by us and the properties owned by the
unconsolidated investees, based on the square feet owned at the beginning of the period by the
respective portfolios.
General and Administrative (G&A) Expenses
Net G&A expenses were $128.3 million and $140.4 million for the nine months ended September 30,
2009 and 2008, respectively, and consisted of the following (in thousands):

As we announced in the fourth quarter of 2008, in response to the difficult economic climate, we
implemented G&A cost cutting initiatives with a near-term target of a 20 to 25% reduction in G&A,
prior to capitalization or allocations for 2009. These initiatives included a reduction in
workforce (RIF) program and reductions to other expenses through various cost savings measures.
We believe we have achieved our target based on our 2009 planned spending and actual spending to
date. Due to the changes in our business strategy in the fourth quarter of 2008, we have
significantly reduced our new development activities, which, along with lower gross G&A, has resulted in
lower capitalized G&A.
Impairment of Real Estate Properties and Other Assets
During the second and third quarters of 2009, we recorded impairment charges of $84.2 million and
$46.3 million, respectively, related primarily to completed development properties in Europe that
we have contributed or expected to contribute to PEPF II. The charges represent the difference
between the estimated proceeds from disposition and our cost basis at the time of contribution and
were due to our intent to contribute or sell these properties at the time of the impairment charge.
We estimated the proceeds from contribution of these properties based on the future net rental
income of the property and the expected market capitalization rates or on third party appraisals.
Changes in economic and operating conditions and our ultimate investment intent that may occur in
the future could impact these assumptions and result in additional impairment charges of these or
other real estate properties.
See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for further information.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $233.9 million and $220.9 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The increase in 2009 over 2008 is due primarily to
depreciation expense that is now being recorded on our completed development properties, based on
our current intent to hold and operate these properties.

As previously discussed, on January 1, 2009, we adopted a new accounting standard that requires
separate accounting for the debt and equity components of convertible debt. As a result, we
restated 2008 amounts to reflect the additional interest expense and the additional capitalized
interest related to our development activities for both properties we currently own, as well as
properties we contributed during the applicable periods.
The decrease in interest expense in 2009 over 2008 is due to significantly lower debt levels,
offset by lower capitalization due to less development activity in 2009. Our future interest
expense, both gross and the portion capitalized, will vary depending
on, among other things, the level of our
development activities.
Net Gains on Dispositions of Real Estate Properties
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized net gains of $22.4 million related
to the sale of land parcels ($4.5 million gain), the contribution of properties ($2.5 million
gain), the recognition of previously deferred gains from PEPR and ProLogis Korea Fund on properties
they sold to third parties ($9.4 million in gains) and a $6.0 million gain on settlement of an
obligation to our fund partner in connection with the restructure of the North American Industrial
Fund II. The contribution activity resulted in total cash proceeds of $454.4 million and included
30 development properties aggregating 6.1 million square feet to PEPF II. If we realize a gain on
contribution of a property, we recognize the portion attributable to the third party ownership in
the property fund. If we realize a loss on contribution, we recognize the full amount of the
impairment as soon as it is known, as discussed above. Due to our continuing involvement through
our ownership in the property fund, these dispositions are not included in discontinued operations.
As discussed earlier, in 2008, contribution activity was reported as CDFS Proceeds and Cost of CDFS
Dispositions within our CDFS business segment.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Losses), net
We and certain of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany or third party debt that
is not denominated in the entitys functional currency. When the debt is remeasured against the
functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss may result. To mitigate our foreign currency
exchange exposure, we borrow in the functional currency of the borrowing entity when appropriate.
Certain of our intercompany debt is remeasured with the resulting adjustment recognized as a
cumulative translation adjustment in other comprehensive income (loss). This treatment is
applicable to intercompany debt that is deemed to be long-term in nature. If the intercompany debt
is deemed short-term in nature, when the debt is remeasured, we recognize a gain or loss in
earnings.
We recognized net foreign currency exchange gains of $57.0 million during the first nine months of
2009 and net foreign currency exchange losses of $28.7 million during the first nine months of 2008
related to the remeasurement of debt. Predominantly the gains or losses recognized in earnings
relate to the remeasurement of intercompany loans between the U.S. parent and certain consolidated
subsidiaries in Japan and Europe and result from fluctuations in the exchange rates of U.S. dollars
to the yen, euro and pound sterling. In addition, we recognized net foreign currency exchange
losses of $22.1 million and $4.3 million from the settlement of transactions with third parties in
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.

Gains on Early Extinguishment of Debt
During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2009, in connection with our announced
initiatives, we purchased portions of several series of notes outstanding at a discount and extinguished some
secured mortgage debt prior to maturity, which resulted in the recognition of gains of $12.0 million and
$173.2 million, respectively. The gains represent the difference between the recorded debt,
including related debt issuance costs, premiums and discounts, and the consideration we paid to
retire the debt. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
Income Taxes
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, our current income tax expense was $30.1
million and $47.7 million, respectively. Included in current income tax expense is the interest
associated with our unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. We recognize current income tax expense
for income taxes incurred by our taxable REIT subsidiaries and in certain foreign jurisdictions, as
well as in certain states. Our current income tax expense fluctuates from period to period based
principally on the timing of our taxable income and changes in tax and interest rates. In the first
quarter of 2009, in connection with the sale of our investments in the Japan property funds, we
recognized a current tax expense of $20.5 million.
Discontinued Operations
In February 2009, we sold our operations in China. Accordingly, we have included the gain on sale
of $3.3 million and the results of our China operations in discontinued operations and classified
the assets and liabilities as held for sale on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008.
See additional information on the sale in Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item
1.
In 2009, in addition to our China operations, we disposed of 128 properties to third parties
aggregating 13.7 million square feet, one of which was classified as held for sale along with the
related debt, on our Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2008. The net gains on disposition
of these properties of $211.3 million (of which $14.3 million was in the third quarter of 2009) are
reflected in discontinued operations, along with the results of operations of these properties for
all periods presented. The activity included a portfolio of 90 properties that were sold to a
single venture in June 2009.
During all of 2008, we disposed of 15 properties and land subject to ground leases to third parties
that met the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations. Therefore, the results of
operations for these disposed properties are included in discontinued operations. We had no
properties classified as held for sale at September 30, 2009. See Note 5 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 1.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) Foreign Currency Translation Gains (Losses), Net
For our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar, we translate
their financial statements into U.S. dollars at the time we consolidate those subsidiaries
financial statements. Generally, assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rate in
effect as of the balance sheet date. The resulting translation adjustments, due to the fluctuations
in exchange rates from the beginning of the period to the end of the period, are included in
accumulated other comprehensive loss.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we recognized gains in other comprehensive income
(loss) of $148.3 million related to foreign currency translations of our international business
units into U.S. dollars upon consolidation. These gains are mainly the result of the strengthening
of the euro, yen and pound sterling to the U.S. dollar from the beginning of the period to
September 30, 2009. During the nine months ended September 30, 2008, we recognized net losses of
$144.7 million due primarily to the strengthening U.S. dollar to the euro and pound sterling, offset
partially by the strengthening yen to the U.S. dollar, from the beginning of the period to
September 30, 2008.
In addition, as a result of the sale of our China operations and our investments in the Japan
property funds in February 2009, other comprehensive income decreased by $149.3 million,
representing the gains previously included as currency translation adjustments.

Three Months Ended September 30, 2009 and 2008
The changes in net earnings attributable to common shares and its components for the three months
ended September 30, 2009, as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2008, are similar to
the changes for the nine month periods ended on the same dates and are separately discussed above.
Portfolio Information
Our total operating portfolio of properties includes industrial and retail properties owned by us
and industrial properties managed by us and owned by the unconsolidated investees that we account
for on the equity method. The operating portfolio does not include properties under development,
properties held for sale or any other properties owned by unconsolidated investees, and was as

Same Store Analysis
We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a same store
analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period,
thereby eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of the portfolio on performance
measures. We include properties owned by us, and properties owned by the unconsolidated investees
(accounted for on the equity method) that are managed by us (referred to as unconsolidated
investees), in our same store analysis. We have defined the same store portfolio, for the three
months ended September 30, 2009, as those properties that were in operation at July 1, 2008 and
have been in operation throughout the three-month periods in both 2009 and 2008, including
completed development properties. We have removed all properties that were disposed of to a third
party or were classified as held for sale from the population for both periods. We believe the
factors that impact rental income, rental expenses and net operating income in the same store
portfolio are generally the same as for the total portfolio. In order to derive an appropriate
measure of period-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency
exchange rate movements by using the current exchange rate to translate from local currency into
U.S. dollars, for both periods, to derive the same store results. The same store portfolio, for the
three months ended September 30, 2009, included 2,372 properties that aggregated 426.1 million
square feet.
The following is a reconciliation of our consolidated rental income, rental expenses and net
operating income (calculated as rental income less rental expenses), as included in our
Consolidated Statements of Operations in Item 1, to the respective amounts in our same store
portfolio analysis.

As discussed above, our same store portfolio aggregates industrial and retail properties from
our consolidated portfolio and industrial properties owned by the unconsolidated investees
(accounted for on the equity method) that are managed by us. During the periods presented,
certain properties owned by us were contributed to a property fund and are included in the
same store portfolio on an aggregate basis. Neither our consolidated results nor that of the
unconsolidated investees, when viewed individually, would be comparable on a same store basis
due to the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (for
example, the results of a contributed property would be included in our consolidated results
through the contribution date and in the results of the unconsolidated investee subsequent to
the contribution date). |
|
(2) |
|
Rental income in the same store portfolio includes straight-line rents and rental recoveries,
as well as base rent. We exclude the net termination and renegotiation fees from our same
store rental income to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each propertys rental
income without regard to items that are not indicative of the propertys recurring operating
performance. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to
allow a customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease, offset by the write-off of the asset
recognized due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term. The adjustments
to remove these items are included as effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates
and other in the tables above. |
|
(3) |
|
These amounts include rental income, rental expenses and net operating income of both our
consolidated industrial and retail properties and those industrial properties owned by our
unconsolidated investees and managed by us. |
|
(4) |
|
The same store portfolio results include the benefit of leasing our completed development
properties. Therefore, we have also presented the results for the adjusted same store
portfolio by excluding the 136 |
42
|
|
|
|
|
completed development properties that we owned as of July 1, 2008 and that are still included
in the same store portfolio (either owned by us or our unconsolidated investees that we
manage). |
|
(5) |
|
Rental expenses in the same store portfolio include the direct operating expenses of the
property such as property taxes, insurance, utilities, etc. In addition, we include an
allocation of the property management expenses for our direct-owned properties based on the
property management fee that is provided for in the individual management agreements under
which our wholly owned management companies provides property management services to each
property (generally, the fee is based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, the
management fee income earned by the management company and the management fee expense
recognized by the properties are eliminated and the actual costs of providing property
management services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expenses. These expenses
fluctuate based on the level of properties included in the same store portfolio and any
adjustment is included as effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other in
the above table. |
Environmental Matters
A majority of the properties acquired by us were subjected to environmental reviews either by us or
the previous owners. While some of these assessments have led to further investigation and
sampling, none of the environmental assessments have revealed an environmental liability that we
believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
We record a liability for the estimated costs of environmental remediation to be incurred in
connection with certain operating properties we acquire, as well as certain land parcels we acquire
in connection with the planned development of the land. The liability is established to cover the
environmental remediation costs, including cleanup costs, consulting fees for studies and
investigations, monitoring costs and legal costs relating to cleanup, litigation defense, and the
pursuit of responsible third parties. We purchase various environmental insurance policies to
mitigate our exposure to environmental liabilities. We are not aware of any environmental liability
that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, contributions and dispositions
of properties and from available financing sources to be adequate to meet our anticipated future
development, acquisition, operating, debt service and shareholder distribution requirements for the
remainder of 2009 and 2010.
As discussed earlier, our current business strategy places significant emphasis on liquidity.
During the fourth quarter of 2008, we set a goal to reduce leverage through the reduction of our
total debt by at least $2 billion by December 31, 2009, as compared with September 30, 2008 and to
simplify our debt structure. As of September 30, 2009, we have exceeded this goal and reduced debt
by $3.1 billion through the following actions:
|
|
|
generated cash through
contributions of properties to the
unconsolidated property funds or
sales of assets to third parties;
|
|
- During 2009,
we received $1.3 billion in proceeds
from the sale of our China
operations and investments in Japan
property funds. In addition, we generated $1.2
billion and $1.3 billion in proceeds, during the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and the fourth quarter of 2008, respectively, from the
contributions of properties to the property funds
and sales of land and properties
to third parties. |
|
|
|
repurchased our senior notes
and convertible notes at a discount
and extinguished certain secured mortgage
debt prior to maturity;
|
|
- We purchased $1.2 billion
notional amount of portions of several series of
senior notes and extinguished $227.0
million of secured mortgage debt for $1.1
billion during the fourth quarter of
2008 and the first nine months of
2009. |
43
|
|
|
Recasted our Global Line and simplified
our debt structure;
|
|
- In August 2009, we
amended our Global
Line and in October
2009 we amended the
financial covenants
of our senior notes
both discussed
below. |
|
|
|
issued equity;
|
|
- In April 2009, we
completed the Equity
Offering that
resulted in net
proceeds to us of
$1.1 billion. During
the third quarter of
2009, we generated
net proceeds of
$325.1 million
through the issuance
of 29.8 million
common shares under
our at the market
equity issuance
program. |
|
|
|
reduced cash needs;
|
|
- We halted
early-stage
infrastructure on
development projects
and implemented G&A
cost savings
initiatives and a RIF
program with a target
to reduce gross G&A
in 2009 by 20% to
25%, which we believe
we have achieved
based on our planned
2009 spending and
actual spending to
date. |
|
|
|
and lowered our common share distribution.
|
|
- We reduced our
expected annual
distributions on our
common shares in 2009
from $553 million to
$275 million (taking
into account the
equity issuances and
our current expected
distribution rate). |
We will continue to focus on generating liquidity through asset sales and contributions and the
further staggering and extending of our debt maturities.
During the third quarter of 2009, we issued $350.0 million of senior notes at 7.625% due August
2014. During the second quarter of 2009, we incurred $391.7 million in secured mortgage debt including $101.8
million at 6.5% due July 2014, $245.5 million at 7.55% due July 2019 and a ¥4.3 billion TMK bond
($47.4 million at September 30, 2009) at 4.09% (effective fixed rate including interest rate swap
contract) that matures in June 2012. TMK bonds are a financing vehicle in Japan for special
purpose companies known as TMKs. The proceeds from the issuance of the senior notes and secured
mortgage debt were used to repay borrowings on our credit facilities or other debt.

In July 2009, we exercised our option to extend the maturity of our Global Line to October 6, 2010.
In August 2009, we amended the Global Line, extending the maturity to August 21, 2012 and reducing
the size of the aggregate commitments to $2.25 billion (subject
to currency fluctuations) after October 2010. The Global Line will
continue to have a capacity of $3.8 billion (subject to currency
fluctuations) until October 2010. We may draw funds from a syndicate
of banks in US dollars, euros, Japanese yen, British pound sterling and Canadian dollars and until
October 2010, South Korean won. Lenders who did not participate in the amended and extended
facility will be subject to the pre-amendment pricing structure through October 2010, while the new
pricing structure is effective immediately to extending lenders.
In connection with the amendment of the Global Line, we repaid the balance outstanding and
terminated our Credit Facility, which was scheduled to mature on October 6, 2009, with borrowings
under the Global Line.
At September 30, 2009, we are in compliance with all of our debt covenants.
44
On October 1, 2009, we completed a consent solicitation with regard to our senior notes, other
than our convertible notes, to amend certain covenants and events of default contained in the
indenture governing the notes and to provide that all series of the senior notes issued under the
indenture, other than convertible notes, will have the same financial covenants and events of
default. Due to the terms of the convertible notes, they are not subject to financial covenants.
Near-Term Principal Cash Sources and Uses
In addition to common share distributions and preferred share dividend requirements, we expect our
principal cash needs will consist of the following for the remainder of 2009 and for 2010:
|
|
completion of the development and leasing of the properties in our development
portfolio (a); |
|
|
|
repayment of debt, including payments on our credit facilities or opportunistic
buy-back of convertible or senior notes; |
|
|
|
scheduled principal payments in the remainder of 2009 of $28 million, which we
expect to repay with borrowings on our Global Line; |
|
|
|
tax and interest payments of approximately $186 million related to the completion of audits of certain income
tax returns to be paid in the fourth quarter of 2009; |
|
|
|
capital expenditures and leasing costs on properties; |
|
|
|
investments in current or future unconsolidated property funds, including our
remaining capital commitments of $831 million (b); |
|
|
|
scheduled principal payments in 2010 of $231 million that we expect to repay with
borrowings under our Global Line or with proceeds from the issuance of debt or equity
securities, subject to market conditions; and |
|
|
|
depending on market conditions, direct acquisition or development of operating
properties and/or portfolios of operating properties in key distribution markets for direct,
long-term investment in the direct owned segment. |
|
|
|
(a) |
|
As of September 30, 2009, we had 9 properties under development with a current investment of
$355 million and a total expected investment of $438 million when completed and leased, with $83
million remaining to be spent. We also had 169 completed development properties with a current
investment of $4.1 billion and a total expected investment of $4.4 billion when leased, with
$239 million remaining to be spent. |
|
(b) |
|
We may fulfill our equity commitment with properties we contribute to the property fund or
cash, depending on the property fund as discussed below. However, to the extent a property fund
acquires properties from a third party or requires cash to retire debt or has other cash needs,
we may be required or agree to contribute our proportionate share of the equity component in
cash to the property fund. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we used cash for
investments in or loans to the unconsolidated investees of approximately $243 million, as
discussed below. |
We expect to fund our cash needs principally with cash from the following sources, all subject to
market conditions:
|
|
available cash balances ($42 million at September 30, 2009); |
|
|
|
property operations; |
|
|
|
fees and incentives earned for services performed on behalf of the property funds
and distributions received from the property funds; |
|
|
|
proceeds from the disposition of properties or land parcels to third parties; |
|
|
|
cash proceeds from the contributions of properties to property funds; |
45
|
|
borrowing capacity under existing credit facilities ($2.9 billion available as of
September 30, 2009), other future facilities or borrowing arrangements; |
|
|
|
proceeds from the issuance of equity securities, including sales under our at the
market equity issuance program, under which we have 10.2 million common shares remaining from
our Board of Trustees (Board) authorization to sell up to 40.0 million common shares; and |
|
|
|
proceeds from the issuance of debt securities, including secured
mortgage debt. |
We may seek to retire or purchase our outstanding debt or equity securities through cash purchases,
in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions or otherwise. Such repurchases or
exchanges, if any, will depend on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements,
contractual restrictions and other factors. The amounts involved may be material. We have not
repurchased any of our common shares since 2003.
Commitments related to future contributions to Property Funds
Several property funds have equity commitments from us and our fund partners. We may fulfill our
equity commitment with properties we contribute to the property fund or cash. Our fund partners
fulfill the commitment with the contribution of cash. The following table outlines the remaining
equity commitments of each property fund with potential commitments in 2009, as of September 30,
2009 (in millions):

PEPF IIs equity commitments are denominated in euro and include commitments of ProLogis of
491.3 million and of the fund partners of 615.2 million. The ProLogis commitments include
195.4 million ($286.0 million) related to the 20% equity interest in Series B units we
acquired from PEPR in December 2008 that we are required to fund with cash. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, we contributed 30 properties to PEPF II for gross proceeds of
$454.4 million that were financed by PEPF II with all equity, including our co-investment of
$106.6 million in cash under this commitment. The remaining commitment of 295.9 million
($433.3 million) relates to our ownership in Series A units. We may fulfill this commitment
through the contribution of properties. We have not made any cash contributions in 2009 under
the Series A commitment. |
|
(2) |
|
The fund intends to use equity commitments from each of its fund partners during the fourth
quarter of 2009 to pay the outstanding balance on its credit facility of $184 million. |
We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all of the properties that we develop and
stabilize in Europe and Mexico to the respective property funds. These property funds are committed
to acquire such properties, subject to certain exceptions, including that the properties meet
certain specified leasing and other criteria, and that the property funds have available capital.
We are not obligated to contribute properties at a loss.
Dependent on market conditions and our liquidity needs, we may make contributions of properties to
certain of these property funds in the remainder of 2009. We will continue to evaluate the level of
future contributions and asset sales based on our liquidity situation. Generally, the properties
are contributed based on third-party appraised value, other than PEPF II. For contributions we make
in 2009 to PEPF II, the capitalization rate is determined based on a third party appraisal and a
margin of 0.25 to 0.75 percentage points is added to the capitalization rate, depending on the
quarter contributed. This adjustment was made due to the belief that appraisals have been lagging
true market conditions. The agreement provides for additional proceeds to us if capitalization
rates at the end of 2010 are lower than those used to determine contribution values.
46
Given the current debt markets, it is likely that future contributions will be financed by the
property funds with all equity. We may fulfill our equity commitment with properties we contribute
to the property fund. However, in the case of our Series B unit ownership in PEPF II and to the
extent a property fund acquires properties from a third party or requires cash to retire debt or
has other cash needs, we may be required or agree to contribute cash to the property fund. When we
contribute properties to PEPF II, we provide our 20% of the equity component of the total
contribution value in cash to PEPF II and then we receive 100% of the total contribution value back
in cash. During the nine months ended September 30, 2009, we contributed or advanced cash of $222.2 million to
the property funds in connection with contributions of our properties to PEPF II, the repayment of
debt by ProLogis North American Industrial Fund, ProLogis North American Industrial Fund III and ProLogis North American Properties Fund XI and
the additional investment in ProLogis North American Industrial Fund II in connection with the
restructuring (as discussed below). In addition, we contributed cash or loaned our other unconsolidated investees a total of $20.8 million.
On July 1, 2009, we and our fund partner amended a loan agreement and the governing documents of
ProLogis North American Industrial Fund II. The property fund extended the term of a $411.3 million
loan payable to an affiliate of our fund partner, which was scheduled to mature in July 2009, until
2014 with an option for an additional extension until 2016. As part of the restructuring, we made
an $85 million cash capital contribution to the property fund and we may be required to make an
additional cash contribution of up to $25 million for the repayment of debt or other obligations.
In addition, we pledged properties we own directly, valued at approximately $275 million, to serve
as additional collateral on the loan and outstanding derivative contracts. As a result, we are
entitled to receive a 10% preferred distribution on all new contributions paid out of operating
cash flow prior to other distributions. Upon liquidation of the property fund, we are entitled to
receive a 10% preferred return per annum on our initial equity investment and the return of our
total investment prior to any other distributions. Our ownership interest remains unchanged.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $230.3 million and $695.6 million for the nine months
ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively. The decrease is due primarily to gains of $548.0
million recognized in 2008 on the contributions of CDFS properties. These gains were lower in 2009
and, due to the changes in our business strategy, no longer included in cash provided by operating
activities. Cash provided by operating activities exceeded the cash distributions paid on common
shares and dividends paid on preferred shares in both periods.
Cash Investing and Cash Financing Activities
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, investing activities provided net cash of
$1.3 billion and used net cash of $1.3 billion, respectively. The following are the significant
activities for both periods presented:
|
|
In 2009, we received $1.3 billion in proceeds from the sale of our China
operations and our property fund interests in Japan. The proceeds were used to pay down
borrowings on our credit facilities. |
|
|
|
We generated net cash from contributions and dispositions of properties and land
parcels of $1.2 billion and $3.2 billion during 2009 and 2008, respectively. |
|
|
|
We invested $1.1 billion in real estate during 2009 and $4.4 billion for
the same period in 2008; including the acquisitions of operating properties,
acquisitions of land for future development, costs for current and future
development projects and recurring capital expenditures and tenant improvements
on existing operating properties. We did not acquire any operating properties in
2009, while we acquired 21 operating properties with an aggregate purchase price of
$271.5 million in 2008. At September 30, 2009, we had 9 properties aggregating 3.0 million
square feet under development, with a current investment of $355.3 million and a total
expected investment of $438.3 million. |
|
|
|
We invested cash of $243.0 million and $149.3 million during 2009 and 2008,
respectively, in unconsolidated investees in connection with property contributions we made,
repayment of debt by the investees and a new preferred investment in an existing property
fund. |
|
|
|
We received distributions from unconsolidated investees as a return of investment
of $44.8 million and $98.0 million during 2009 and 2008, respectively. |
47
For the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, financing activities used net cash of $1.6
billion and provided net cash of $515.6 million, respectively. The following are the significant
activities for both periods presented:
|
|
In 2009, we purchased and extinguished $1.1 billion original principal amount of
our senior and convertible senior notes, along with certain secured mortgage debt, for a total of
$900.1 million. |
|
|
|
In August 2009, we issued $350.0 million of 7.625% senior notes due 2014 and
during the second quarter of 2009, we incurred $391.7 million of secured mortgage debt. In May 2008, we
issued $550.0 million of 2.625% convertible senior notes due 2038 and $600.0 million of senior
notes due 2018 with a coupon rate of 6.625%. |
|
|
|
On our lines of credit and other credit facilities, including the Global Line and
the Credit Facility, we had net payments of $2.3 billion and net borrowings of $537.7 million
during 2009 and 2008, respectively. |
|
|
|
On our other debt, we made net payments of $319.3 million and $963.4 million
during 2009 and 2008, respectively. |
|
|
|
In April 2009, we closed on the Equity Offering and
received net proceeds of $1.1
billion. |
|
|
|
We generated proceeds from the sale and issuance of common shares under our
various common share plans of $334.3 million, which includes $331.9 million from our at the
market equity issuance program, during 2009 and $217.1 million during 2008. |
|
|
|
We paid distributions of $200.8 million and $414.2 million to our common
shareholders during 2009 and 2008, respectively. We paid dividends on our preferred shares of
$19.1 million during both 2009 and 2008. |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Property Fund Debt
We had investments in and advances to the property funds at September 30, 2009 of $1.8 billion. The
property funds had total third party debt of $9.8 billion (for the entire entity, not our
proportionate share) at September 30, 2009 that matures as follows (in millions):

As of September 30, 2009, we had not guaranteed any of the third party debt of the property
funds. See note (4) below. In our role as the manager of the property funds, we work with the
property funds to refinance their maturing debt. The 2009 maturities, other than scheduled
principal amortization, have all been paid, refinanced or extended. We are in various stages
of discussions with banks on extending or refinancing the 2010 maturities. There can be no
assurance that the property funds will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness on terms
as favorable as the maturing debt, or at all. If the property funds are unable to refinance
the maturing indebtedness with newly issued debt, they may be able to obtain funds by capital
contributions |
48
|
|
|
|
|
from us and our fund partners or by selling assets. Certain of the property funds also have
credit facilities, which may be used to obtain funds. Generally, the property funds issue
long-term debt and utilize the proceeds to repay borrowings under the credit facilities.
Information on remaining equity commitments of the property funds is presented above. |
|
(2) |
|
On October 1, 2009, the $56.0 million of debt due
in 2010 was repaid with a new incurrance of
$52.5 million secured mortgage debt due in 2016. |
|
(3) |
|
ProLogis North American Industrial Fund has a $250.0 million credit facility that matures
July 17, 2010, under which $184.0 million was outstanding with $66.0 million remaining
capacity, all at September 30, 2009. The fund plans to call capital during the fourth quarter
of 2009 to pay the outstanding balance of this credit facility. |
|
(4) |
|
We have pledged properties we own directly, valued at approximately $275 million, to serve as
additional collateral on a loan payable to an affiliate of our fund partner that is due in
2014 and outstanding derivative contracts. |
|
(5) |
|
During the first quarter of 2009, we and our fund partner each loaned the property fund $25.4
million that is payable with operating cash flow, matures at dissolution of the partnership
and bears interest at LIBOR plus 8%. The outstanding balance at September 30, 2009 was $23.2
million and is not included in the maturities above as it is not third party debt. |
|
(6) |
|
In addition to its existing third party debt, this property fund has a note payable to us for
$14.3 million at September 30, 2009. |
|
(7) |
|
PEPR has three credit facilities with aggregate borrowing capacity of 900 million
(approximately $1.3 billion). As of September 30, 2009, one facility had outstanding
borrowings of $439.8 million due December 2010 and another had outstanding borrowings of
$388.8 million due December 2012. The aggregate remaining capacity at September 30, 2009 was
$490.7 million. In October 2009, PEPR incurred 48 million ($70.5
million) of secured mortgage debt due 2014, the proceeds of which were used to repay outstanding debt. |
|
(8) |
|
PEPF II has a 1 billion credit facility (approximately $1.5 billion) due May 2010. As of
September 30, 2009, $816.4 million was outstanding and $649.4 million was available to borrow
under this facility. |
Contractual Obligations
Distribution and Dividend Requirements
Our common share distribution policy is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure we
will meet the distribution requirements of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, relative
to maintaining our REIT status, while still allowing us to maximize the cash retained to meet other
cash needs such as capital improvements and other investment activities.
We paid a cash distribution of $0.25 per common share for the first quarter on February 27, 2009.
Recognizing the need to maintain maximum financial flexibility in light of the state of the capital
markets and considering the impact of the Equity Offering, in April 2009 our Board set our
quarterly distribution at $0.15 per common share. We paid cash distributions of $0.15 per common
share for both the second quarter and third quarter of 2009 on May 29, 2009 and August 31, 2009,
respectively. On November 2, 2009, our Board declared the fourth quarter distribution of $0.15 per
common share that will be payable November 30, 2009 to shareholders of record on November 16, 2009.
The payment of distributions on common shares, including the composition between cash and shares,
is subject to authorization by our Board out of funds legally available for the payment of
distributions, market conditions, our
49
financial condition and REIT distribution requirements and may be adjusted at the discretion of our
Board during the year.
At September 30, 2009, we had three series of preferred shares outstanding. The annual dividend
rates on preferred shares are $4.27 per Series C preferred share, $1.69 per Series F preferred
share and $1.69 per Series G preferred share. The dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the
last day of each quarter.
Pursuant to the terms of our preferred shares, we are restricted from declaring or paying any
distribution with respect to our common shares unless and until all cumulative dividends with
respect to the preferred shares have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for
dividends that have been declared for the then current dividend period with respect to the
preferred shares.
Other Commitments
On a continuing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition and/or
disposition of individual properties or portfolios of properties.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
Funds from Operations (FFO)
FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly
comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings. Although NAREIT has published a definition of FFO,
modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide
financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business. FFO, as we define it, is presented as
a supplemental financial measure. We do not use FFO as, nor should it be considered to be, an
alternative to net earnings computed under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or as
an alternative to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP as an indicator of our ability
to fund our cash needs.
FFO is not meant to represent a comprehensive system of financial reporting and does not present,
nor do we intend it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and operating
performance. We believe net earnings computed under GAAP remains the primary measure of performance
and that FFO is only meaningful when it is used in conjunction with net earnings computed under
GAAP. Further, we believe our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP,
provide the most meaningful picture of our financial condition and our operating performance.
NAREITs FFO measure adjusts net earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost
depreciation and gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated properties. We agree
that these two NAREIT adjustments are useful to investors for the following reasons:
(a) |
|
historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes, through
depreciation charges, that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time.
NAREIT stated in its White Paper on FFO since real estate asset values have historically
risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations
of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be
insufficient by themselves. Consequently, NAREITs definition of FFO reflects the fact that
real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time and depreciation charges
required by GAAP do not reflect the underlying economic realities. |
(b) |
|
REITs were created as a legal form of organization in order to encourage public ownership of
real estate as an asset class through investment in firms that were in the business of
long-term ownership and management of real estate. The exclusion, in NAREITs definition of
FFO, of gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets
allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term
assets that form the core of a REITs activity and assists in comparing those operating
results between periods. We include the gains and losses from dispositions of land,
development properties and, prior |
50
|
|
to 2009, properties acquired in our CDFS business segment, as well as our proportionate share of
the gains and losses from dispositions recognized by the property funds, in our definition of
FFO. |
At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO concept for the REIT industry, it also
recognized that management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and authority to
publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community. We believe
financial analysts, potential investors and shareholders who review our operating results are best
served by a defined FFO measure that includes other adjustments to net earnings computed under GAAP
in addition to those included in the NAREIT defined measure of FFO.
Our defined FFO, including significant non-cash items, measure excludes the following items from
net earnings computed under GAAP that are not excluded in the NAREIT defined FFO measure:
(i) |
|
deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries; |
(ii) |
|
current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred
tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income
tax benefit in GAAP earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure; |
(iii) |
|
certain foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from certain debt transactions
between us and our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated investees; |
(iv) |
|
foreign currency exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement (based on current foreign
currency exchange rates) of certain third party debt of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries
and our foreign unconsolidated investees; and |
(v) |
|
mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative financial instruments utilized to
manage foreign currency and interest rate risks. |
FFO, including significant non-cash items, of our unconsolidated investees is calculated on the
same basis.
In addition, we present FFO excluding significant non-cash items. In order to derive FFO excluding
significant non-cash items, we add back certain charges or subtract certain gains that we recognize
directly or our share recognized by our unconsolidated investees. The items that we currently
excluded were impairment charges, gains from the early extinguishment of debt, gain on the sale of
our China operations that were sold in February 2009 and losses on derivative activity in FFO that
were settled for cash in previous periods. We believe it is meaningful to remove the effects of
significant non-cash items to more appropriately present our results on a comparative basis.
In calculating FFO, the items that we exclude from net earnings computed under GAAP, while not
infrequent or unusual, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause
both positive and negative effects on our results of operations, in inconsistent and unpredictable
directions. Most importantly, the economics underlying the items that we exclude from net earnings
computed under GAAP are not the primary drivers in managements decision-making process and capital
investment decisions. Period to period fluctuations in these items can be driven by accounting for
short-term factors that are not relevant to long-term investment decisions, long-term capital
structures or long-term tax planning and tax structuring decisions. Accordingly, we believe
investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align
their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management
uses in planning and executing our business strategy.
Real estate is a capital-intensive business. Investors analyses of the performance of real estate
companies tend to be centered on understanding the asset value created by real estate investment
decisions and understanding current operating returns that are being generated by those same
investment decisions. The adjustments to net earnings computed under GAAP that are included in
arriving at our FFO measures are helpful to management in making real estate investment decisions
and evaluating our current operating performance. We believe these adjustments are also helpful to
industry analysts, potential investors and shareholders in their understanding and evaluation of
our performance on the key measures of net asset value and current operating returns generated on
real estate investments.
51
While we believe our defined FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREITs nor
our measures of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant economic components of
net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Some of these
limitations are:
|
|
The current income tax expenses that are excluded from our defined FFO measures
represent the taxes that will be payable. |
|
|
Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are
excluded from FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be
necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Further, the amortization of
capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of
industrial properties are not reflected in FFO. |
|
|
Gains or losses from property dispositions represent changes in the value of the
disposed properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO does not capture realized
changes in the value of disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions. |
|
|
The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our defined
FFO measures result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may
have to be settled at some future point. Our defined FFO measures do not currently reflect any
income or expense that may result from such settlement. |
|
|
The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our defined
FFO measures are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates
through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign currency-denominated
net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO measures are limited in that they do
not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign
currency exchange rate movements. |
|
|
The non-cash impairment charges that we exclude from our FFO, excluding
significant non-cash items, measure may be realized in the future upon the ultimate
disposition of the related real estate properties or other assets. |
We compensate for these limitations by using the FFO measures only in conjunction with net earnings
computed under GAAP. To further compensate, we reconcile our defined FFO measures to net earnings
computed under GAAP in our financial reports. Additionally, we provide investors with (i) our
complete financial statements prepared under GAAP; (ii) our definition of FFO, which includes a
discussion of the limitations of using our non-GAAP measure; and (iii) a reconciliation of our GAAP
measure (net earnings) to our non-GAAP measure (FFO, as we define it), so that investors can
appropriately incorporate this measure and its limitations into their analyses.
FFO including significant non-cash items, attributable to common shares as defined by us was $444.6
million and $793.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008, respectively.
FFO, excluding significant non-cash items, attributable to common shares as defined by us was

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign-exchange related variability and
earnings volatility on our foreign investments. We have in the past used certain derivative
financial instruments, primarily foreign currency put option and forward contracts, to reduce our
foreign currency market risk, as we deem appropriate. Currently, we do not have any such
instruments outstanding. We have also used interest rate swap agreements to reduce our interest
rate market risk. We do not use financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes and all
financial instruments are entered into in accordance with established policies and procedures.
We monitor our market risk exposures using a sensitivity analysis. Our sensitivity analysis
estimates the exposure to market risk sensitive instruments assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse
change in quarter-end interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The results of the
sensitivity analysis are summarized below. The sensitivity analysis is of limited predictive value.
As a result, our ultimate realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate and foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during a future period,
hedging strategies at the time and the prevailing interest and foreign currency exchange rates.
53
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of future interest rate changes
on earnings and cash flows. To achieve this objective, we primarily borrow on a fixed rate basis
for longer-term debt issuances. In June 2009, we entered into a three-year ¥4.3 billion ($47.4
million as of September 30, 2009) variable rate TMK bond agreement and concurrently entered into an
interest rate swap agreement to fix the interest rate for the term of the note. We have no other
derivative contracts outstanding at September 30, 2009.
Our primary interest rate risk is created by the variable rate lines of credit. During the nine
months ended September 30, 2009, we had weighted average daily outstanding borrowings of $1.9
billion on our variable rate lines of credit. Based on the results of the sensitivity analysis,
which assumed a 10% adverse change in interest rates, the estimated market risk exposure for the
variable rate lines of credit was approximately $2.1 million of cash flow for the nine months ended
September 30, 2009.
As a result of a change in accounting effective January 1, 2009, our non-cash interest expense for
the nine months ended September 30, 2009 increased $48.4 million, prior to capitalization of
interest related to our development activities. See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements
in Item 1 for further information.
The unconsolidated property funds that we manage, and in which we have an equity ownership, may
enter into interest rate swap contracts. See Note 4 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in
Item 1 for further information on these derivatives.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the possibility that our financial results could be better or worse than
planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Our primary exposure to foreign currency exchange rates relates to the translation of the net
income of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars, principally euro, pound sterling and yen. To
mitigate our foreign currency exchange exposure, we borrow in the functional currency of the
borrowing entity, when appropriate. We also may use foreign currency put option contracts to manage
foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the projected net operating income of our
foreign consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated investees. At September 30, 2009, we had no
put option contracts outstanding and, therefore, we may experience fluctuations in our earnings as
a result of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
We also have some exposure in earnings to movements in exchange rates related to certain
intercompany loans that are not deemed to be long-term in nature. We may use foreign currency
forward contracts to manage these risks. At September 30, 2009, we had no forward contracts
outstanding and, therefore, we may experience fluctuations in our earnings from the remeasurement
of these intercompany loans.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management,
including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the
disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c)) under the Securities and Exchange
Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) as of September 30, 2009. Based on this evaluation, the Chief
Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and
procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we
file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the
time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we and our unconsolidated investees are party to a variety of legal proceedings
arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that, with respect to any such matters that
we are currently a party to, the
54
ultimate disposition of any such matters will not result in a material adverse effect on our
business, financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of September 30, 2009, no material changes had occurred in our risk factors as discussed in Item
1A of our Form 10-K, except as supplemented below:
We may change the distribution policy for our common shares in the future.
On February 9, 2009, our Board declared a distribution of $0.25 per share that was paid on February
27, 2009 to our common shareholders of record on February 19, 2009. Recognizing the need to
maintain maximum financial flexibility in light of the current state of the capital markets, and
considering the distribution requirements for the increased number of shares expected to be
outstanding due to the Equity Offering, our Board set our quarterly distribution at $0.15 per common share.
On April 29, 2009, our Board declared the
second quarter distribution of $0.15 per common share that was paid on May 29, 2009 to shareholders
of record on May 15, 2009 and the third quarter distribution of $0.15 per common share that was
paid on August 31, 2009 to shareholders of record on August 14, 2009.
On November 2, 2009, our Board declared the fourth quarter distribution of $0.15 per common share that will be payable November 30, 2009 to shareholders of record on November 16, 2009.
In addition, a recent Internal Revenue Service revenue procedure allows us to satisfy the REIT
income distribution requirement by distributing up to 90% of our distributions on our common shares
in our common shares in lieu of paying distributions entirely in cash. Although we reserve the
right to utilize this procedure in the future, we currently have no intent to do so. In the event
that we pay a portion of a distribution in our common shares, taxable U.S. shareholders would be
required to pay tax on the entire amount of the distribution, including the portion paid in common
shares, in which case such shareholders might have to pay the tax using cash from other sources. If
a U.S. shareholder sells the shares it receives as a distribution in order to pay this tax, the
sales proceeds may be less than the amount included in income with respect to the distribution,
depending on the market price of our shares at the time of the sale.
Furthermore, with respect to non-U.S. shareholders, we may be required to withhold U.S. tax with
respect to such distribution, including in respect of all or a portion of such distribution that is
payable in shares. In addition, if a significant number of our shareholders sell our common shares
in order to pay taxes owed on distributions, such sales would put downward pressure on the market
price of our common shares.
The decision to declare and pay distributions on our common shares in the future, as well as the
timing, amount and composition of any such future distributions, will be at the sole discretion of
our Board and will depend on our earnings, cash flow, liquidity, financial condition, capital
requirements, contractual prohibitions or other limitations under our indebtedness and preferred
shares, the annual distribution requirements under the REIT provisions of the Code, state law and
such other factors as our Board deems relevant. While the statements above concerning the remaining
distributions for 2009 are our current expectation, the actual distribution payable will be
determined by our Board based upon the circumstances at the time of declaration and the actual
distribution payable may vary from such expected amounts. Any change in our distribution policy
could have a material adverse effect on the market price of our common shares.
