EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report
(the "Report") combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2022 of both Duke Realty Corporation and Duke Realty Limited Partnership. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to "Duke Realty Corporation" or the "General Partner" mean Duke Realty Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries, and references to the "Partnership" mean Duke Realty Limited Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms the "Company,""we,""us" and "our" refer to the General Partner and the Partnership, collectively, and those entities owned or controlled by the General Partner and/or the Partnership.
Duke Realty Corporation is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust ("REIT") and is the sole general partner of the Partnership, owning approximately
98.9% of the common partnership interests of the Partnership ("General Partner Units") as of June 30, 2022. The remaining 1.1% of the common partnership interests ("Limited Partner Units" and, together with the General Partner Units, the "Common Units") are owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Partnership, the General Partner has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Partnership.
The General Partner and the Partnership are operated as one enterprise. The management of the General Partner consists of the same members as the management of the Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Partnership, the General Partner consolidates the Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the General Partner does not have any significant assets other
than its investment in the Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the General Partner and the Partnership are substantially the same.
We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of the General Partner and the Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:
•enhances investors' understanding of the General Partner and the Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
•eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation of information since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the General Partner and the Partnership; and
•creates
time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.
We believe it is important to understand the few differences between the General Partner and the Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. The General Partner's only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests in the Partnership. As a result, the General Partner does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Partnership and issuing public equity from time to time. The General Partner does not issue any indebtedness, but does guarantee some of the unsecured debt of the Partnership. The Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the business, directly or indirectly, and holds the ownership interests related to certain of the Company's investments. The Partnership conducts the operations of the
business and has no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by the General Partner, which are contributed to the Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units or Preferred Units, the Partnership generates the capital required by the business through its operations, its incurrence of indebtedness and the issuance of Limited Partner Units to third parties.
Noncontrolling interests, shareholders' equity and partners' capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the General Partner and those of the Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Partnership's financial statements include the interests in consolidated investees not wholly owned by the Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the General Partner's financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Partnership level, as well as the common limited partnership interests
in the Partnership, which are accounted for as partners' capital by the Partnership.
In order to highlight the differences between the General Partner and the Partnership, there are separate sections in this Report, as applicable, that separately discuss the General Partner and the Partnership, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of the General Partner and the Partnership, this Report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of the collective Company.

DUKE REALTY CORPORATION AND DUKE REALTY LIMITED PARTNERSHIP
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. iGeneral
Basis of Presentation
The interim consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared by the General Partner and the Partnership. The 2021 year-end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Report was derived from the audited financial statements in the combined Annual Report on Form 10-K of the General Partner and the Partnership for the year ended December 31, 2021 (the "2021 Annual Report"), but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP for interim financial information and in accordance with Rule 10-01 of Regulation S-X of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act"). Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required
by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could differ from those estimates and assumptions. These financial statements should be read in conjunction with Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included herein and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the 2021 Annual Report.
The General Partner was formed in 1985, and we believe that it qualifies as a REIT under the provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the "Code"). The Partnership was formed on October 4,
1993, when the General Partner contributed all of its properties and related assets and liabilities, together with the net proceeds from an offering of additional shares of its common stock, to the Partnership. Simultaneously, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Duke Associates, a full-service commercial real estate firm operating in the Midwest whose operations began in 1972.
The General Partner is the sole general partner of the Partnership, owning approximately i98.9%
of the Common Units as of June 30, 2022. The remaining i1.1% of the Common Units are owned by limited partners. As the sole general partner of the Partnership, the General Partner has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Partnership. The General Partner and the Partnership are operated as one enterprise. The management of the General Partner
consists of the same members as the management of the Partnership. As the sole general partner with control of the Partnership, the General Partner consolidates the Partnership for financial reporting purposes, and the General Partner does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the General Partner and the Partnership are substantially the same.
Limited partners have the right to redeem their Limited Partner Units, subject to certain restrictions. Pursuant to the Fifth Amended and Restated Agreement of Limited Partnership, as amended (the "Partnership Agreement"), the General Partner is obligated to redeem the Limited Partner Units in shares of its common stock, unless it determines in its reasonable discretion that the issuance of shares of its common stock could cause it to fail to qualify as a REIT. Each Limited Partner Unit shall be redeemed
for one share of the General Partner's common stock, or, in the event that the issuance of shares could cause the General Partner to fail to qualify as a REIT, cash equal to the fair market value of one share of the General Partner's common stock at the time of redemption, in each case, subject to certain adjustments described in the Partnership Agreement. The Limited Partner Units are not required, per the terms of the Partnership Agreement, to be redeemed in registered shares of the General Partner.
As of June 30, 2022, we owned and operated a portfolio primarily consisting of industrial properties and provided real estate services to third-party owners, customers and joint ventures. Substantially all of our Rental Operations (see Note 10) are conducted through the Partnership. We conduct our Service Operations (see Note 10) through Duke Realty Services, LLC, Duke Realty
Services Limited Partnership and Duke Construction Limited Partnership ("DCLP"), which are consolidated entities that are 100% owned by a combination of the General Partner and the Partnership. DCLP is owned through a taxable REIT subsidiary. The consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our majority-owned or controlled subsidiaries.

2. iLeases
Lease
Income
Our leases generally include scheduled rent increases, but do not include variable payments based on indexes. Our rental revenue is primarily based on fixed, non-cancelable leases. Our variable rental revenue primarily consists of amounts recovered from lessees for property tax, insurance and common area maintenance ("CAM").
If we conclude that collection of lease payments is not probable, any difference between the revenue that would have been recognized under the straight-line method and the lease payments that have been collected is recognized as a current period adjustment to rental revenues. Any other changes in collectability reserves for leases not subject to the collectability constraint are also recorded as a current period adjustment to rental revenues.
All revenues related to lease and lease-related services
are included in, and comprise substantially all of, the caption "Rental and Related Revenue" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive Income. iThe components of Rental and Related Revenue are as follows (in thousands):
(1) Primarily includes tenant recoveries for real estate taxes, insurance and CAM.
Lessee Accounting
As of June 30, 2022, our lease arrangements, where we are the lessee, primarily consisted of office and ground leases. For these lease arrangements, as required by Accounting Standards Codification Topic 842, Leases ("ASC 842"), we recognized right-of-use ("ROU") assets and the corresponding lease liabilities representing the discounted value of future lease payments. In determining these amounts, we elected an available practical expedient that allows us, as a lessee, to not separate lease and non-lease components.
All of our office leases are classified as operating leases under ASC 842. Ground leases that were
classified as operating leases prior to adoption of ASC 842 continue to be accounted for as operating leases by electing the practical expedient under ASC 842.iTwoground leases that were entered into subsequent to the adoption of ASC 842 are classified as finance leases. iFor
our operating leases, we recognized ROU assets and related lease liabilities as follows (in thousands):
ROU
assets were included within Other Escrow Deposits and Other Assets and lease liabilities were included within Other Liabilities on our Consolidated Balance Sheets.
12
3. iReclassifications
No
amounts in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2021 have been reclassified to conform to the 2022 consolidated financial statement presentation.
4. iRestricted Cash
Restricted cash primarily consists of cash proceeds from dispositions but restricted only for qualifying like-kind exchange transactions
and cash held in escrow related to acquisition and disposition holdbacks. iThe following table provides a reconciliation of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported within the Consolidated Balance Sheets that sum to the total of the same such amounts shown in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows (in thousands):

5. iVariable
Interest Entities
Partnership
Due to the fact that the Limited Partners do not have kick out rights, or substantive participating rights, the Partnership is a variable interest entity ("VIE"). Because the General Partner holds majority ownership and exercises control over every aspect of the Partnership's operations, the General Partner has been determined as the primary beneficiary and, therefore, consolidates the Partnership.
The assets and liabilities of the General Partner and the Partnership are substantially the same, as the General Partner does not have any significant assets other than its investment in the Partnership. All of the Company's debt is an obligation of the Partnership.
Joint Ventures
We have equity interests in
unconsolidated joint ventures that are primarily engaged in the operation and development of industrial real estate properties.
We consolidate those joint ventures that are considered to be VIEs where we are the primary beneficiary. We analyze our investments in joint ventures to determine if the joint venture is considered a VIE and would require consolidation. We (i) evaluate the sufficiency of the total equity investment at risk, (ii) review the voting rights and decision-making authority of the equity investment holders as a group and whether there are limited partners (or similar owning entities) that lack substantive participating or kick out rights and (iii) establish whether or not activities within the venture are on behalf of an investor with disproportionately few voting rights in making this VIE determination.
To the extent that we own interests in a VIE and we (i) are
the sole entity that has the power to direct the activities of the VIE and (ii) have the obligation or rights to absorb the VIE's losses or receive its benefits, then we would be determined to be the primary beneficiary and would consolidate the VIE. To the extent we own interests in a VIE, then at each reporting period, we re-assess our conclusions as to which, if any, party within the VIE is considered the primary beneficiary. Consolidated joint ventures that are VIEs are not significant in any period presented in these consolidated financial statements.
13
To the extent that our joint ventures do not qualify as VIEs, they are consolidated if we control them through majority ownership interests or if we are the managing entity (general partner or managing member) and
the other partner does not have substantive participating rights. Control is further demonstrated by our ability to unilaterally make significant operating decisions, refinance debt and sell the assets of the joint venture without the consent of the non-managing entity and the inability of the non-managing entity to remove us from our role as the managing entity. Consolidated joint ventures that are not VIEs are not significant in any period presented in these consolidated financial statements.
We use the equity method of accounting for those joint ventures where we exercise significant influence but do not have control. Under the equity method of accounting, our investment in each joint venture is included on our balance sheet; however, the assets and liabilities of the joint ventures for which we use the equity method are not included on our balance sheet.
When we contribute
properties to unconsolidated joint ventures and retain a non-controlling ownership interest in such assets, we recognize the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount of the asset contributed when its derecognition criteria are met. The equity method investment we retain in such partial sale transactions is noncash consideration and is measured at fair value. As a result, the accounting for a partial sale results in the recognition of a full gain or loss.
In July 2021, we entered into a i20%-owned unconsolidated
joint venture with CBRE Global Investors with plans to contribute ithree tranches of properties. We contributed the third tranche of properties in January 2022. The joint venture financed the acquisition of these properties with a combination of third party first mortgage loans and equity contributions from our partner in this joint venture. Upon closing of the final contribution, we recorded the ownership interest obtained at fair value as part of Investments in and Advances to Unconsolidated Joint Ventures on the Consolidated Balance
Sheets as of June 30, 2022 and recognized the full gain of $i188.3 million as part of Gain on Sale of Properties on the Consolidated Financial Statement of Operations and Comprehensive Income for the six months ended June 30, 2022.
There were no unconsolidated joint ventures, in which we have any recognized assets or liabilities or have retained
any economic exposure to loss at June 30, 2022, that met the criteria to be considered VIEs. Our maximum loss exposure for guarantees of unconsolidated joint venture indebtedness, none of which relate to VIEs, totaled $i30.2 million at June 30, 2022.
6. iAcquisitions
and Dispositions
Acquisitions and dispositions for the periods presented were completed in accordance with our strategy to reposition our investment concentration among the markets in which we operate and to increase our overall investment concentration in Coastal Tier 1 markets (we define "Coastal Tier 1" markets as Southern California, Northern California, Seattle, Northern New Jersey and South Florida). Transaction costs related to asset acquisitions are capitalized.

Fair Value Measurements
i
We
determine the fair value of the individual components of real estate asset acquisitions primarily through calculating the "as-if vacant" value of a building, using an income approach, which relies significantly upon internally determined assumptions. We have determined that these estimates primarily rely upon level 3 inputs, which are unobservable inputs based on our own assumptions. The most significant assumptions used in calculating the "as-if vacant" value for acquisition activity during the six months ended June 30, 2022 are as follows:
Exit capitalization
rate
i4.75
%
Annual net rental rate per square foot on acquired building
$
i13.80
The
value that is allocated to the land underlying the acquired building relies on Level 3 inputs and is primarily determined by reference to recent comparable transactions.
Capitalized acquisition costs were insignificant and the fair value of net assets acquired from unrelated parties during the six months ended June 30, 2022, was substantially the same as the cost of acquisition.
/
Dispositions
Dispositions of buildings and undeveloped land generated net cash proceeds of $i334.7
million and $i266.0 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The number of buildings sold is disclosed in Note 11.
In January 2022, we contributed the third tranche of ithree
buildings to a i20%-owned unconsolidated joint venture. The joint venture financed the acquisition of these properties with a combination of third party first mortgage loans and equity contributions from our partner and we received $i268.9
million of net cash proceeds. As part of the closing, we also received $i33.6 million from our ownership share of proceeds from third party first mortgage loans, which was included in Capital Distributions from Unconsolidated Joint Ventures in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

7. iIndebtedness
All
debt is issued directly or indirectly by the Partnership. The General Partner does not have any indebtedness, but does guarantee some of the unsecured debt of the Partnership. iThe following table summarizes the book value and changes in the fair value of our debt (in thousands):

Secured
Debt
Because our fixed rate secured debt is not actively traded in any marketplace, we utilized a discounted cash flow methodology to determine its fair value. Accordingly, we calculated fair value by applying an estimate of the current market rate to discount the debt's remaining contractual cash flows. Our estimate of a current market rate, which is the most significant input in the discounted cash flow calculation, is intended to replicate debt of similar maturity and loan-to-value relationship. The estimated market rates for all of our current fixed rate secured debt are between i4.50%
and i4.60%, depending on the attributes of the specific loans. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated; therefore, we have concluded that our determination of fair value for our fixed rate secured debt was primarily based upon level 3 inputs.
Unsecured Debt
At June 30, 2022, our unsecured debt consisted of $i3.38
billion of senior unsecured notes that are publicly traded and bore interest at fixed rates and a $i500.0 million variable rate term loan.
In February 2022, we redeemed $i300.0
million of i3.75% senior unsecured notes due December 2024. We recognized a loss of $i21.9 million in connection with the redemption of these notes, which included the prepayment
premium and write-off of unamortized deferred financing costs.
In June 2022, the Partnership amended and restated its existing revolving credit agreement (the "Amendment") to issue and draw down on a term loan with an aggregate commitment of $i500.0 million. The term loan matures iMarch 31,
2025 and bears interest at a variable rate equaling the one-month secured overnight financing rate ("SOFR") plus i0.850% (equal to i2.46%
as of June 30, 2022). The Amendment allows prepayment on the term loan without penalty.
We utilized broker estimates in estimating the fair value of our fixed rate unsecured debt. The broker estimates took into account any recent trades within the same series of our fixed rate unsecured debt, comparisons to recent trades of other series of our fixed rate unsecured debt, trades of fixed rate unsecured debt from companies with profiles similar to ours, as well as overall economic conditions. We reviewed these broker estimates for reasonableness and accuracy, considering whether the estimates were based upon market participant assumptions within the principal and most advantageous market and whether any other observable inputs would be more accurate indicators of fair value than the broker estimates. We
concluded that the broker estimates were representative of fair value. We have determined that our estimation of the fair value of our fixed rate unsecured debt was primarily based upon level 3 inputs. The estimated trading values of our fixed rate unsecured debt, depending on the maturity and coupon rates, ranged from i74.00% to i111.00%
of face value.
16
The indentures (and related supplemental indentures) governing our outstanding series of unsecured notes also require us to comply with financial ratios and other covenants regarding our operations. iWe were in compliance with all such financial covenants atJune 30, 2022.
Unsecured Line of Credit
i
Our
unsecured line of credit at June 30, 2022 is described as follows (in thousands):
As a result of entering the Amendment in June 2022, the automatic transition of benchmark rate on the unsecured line of credit from one-month LIBOR to SOFR was triggered. Our unsecured line of credit now bears interest
at iSOFR plus i0.775% with a reduction in borrowing costs if certain sustainability linked metrics are achieved each year. The line of credit matures on iMarch 31,
2025 with itwo six-month extension options. Subject to certain conditions, the Amendment allows $i300.0 million of incremental
borrowing, in addition to the newly issued $i500.0 million term loan, resulting in a total facility of up to $i2.00 billion. This line of credit
provides us with an option to obtain borrowings from financial institutions that participate in the line at rates that may be lower than the stated interest rate, subject to certain restrictions.
This line of credit contains financial covenants that require us to meet certain financial ratios and defined levels of performance, including those related to fixed charge coverage, unsecured interest expense coverage and debt-to-asset value (with asset value being defined in the Partnership's unsecured line of credit agreement). At June 30, 2022, iwe were in compliance
with all financial covenants under this line of credit.
We utilized a discounted cash flow methodology in order to estimate the fair value of outstanding borrowings on our unsecured line of credit. To the extent that credit spreads have changed since the origination of the line of credit, the net present value of the difference between future contractual interest payments and future interest payments based on our estimate of a current market rate would represent the difference between the book value and the fair value. This estimate of a current market rate is based upon the rate, considering current market conditions and our specific credit profile, at which we estimate we could obtain similar borrowings. As our credit spreads have not changed appreciably, we believe that the contractual interest rate and the current market rate on any outstanding borrowings on the line of credit are the same. The current market rate is internally
estimated and therefore is primarily based upon a level 3 input.

8. iShareholders'
Equity of the General Partner and Partners' Capital of the Partnership
General Partner
The General Partner has an at the market ("ATM") equity program that allows it to issue and sell its common shares through sales agents from time to time. Actual sales under the ATM equity program depend on a variety of factors to be determined by the General Partner, including, among others, market conditions, the trading price of the General Partner’s common stock, determinations by the General Partner of the appropriate sources of funding and potential uses of funding available.
In February 2022, the General Partner terminated its previous equity distribution agreement for the ATM equity program and entered into a new equity distribution agreement pursuant to which the General Partner may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate
offering price of $i600.0 million of its common stock through sales agents or forward sellers. The ability to enter into forward sale agreements through the new ATM equity program will enable the General Partner to set the price of such shares upon pricing the offering (subject to certain adjustments) while delaying the issuance of such shares and the receipt of the net proceeds by the General Partner.
During the six months ended June 30,
2022, the General Partner issued i2.0 million common shares pursuant to its ATM equity program, generating gross proceeds of $i115.8
million and, after deducting commissions and other costs, net proceeds of $i114.3 million. The proceeds from these sales were contributed to the Partnership and used to fund development activities.
Partnership
For each common share or preferred share that the General Partner issues, the Partnership issues a corresponding General Partner Unit or Preferred Unit, as applicable, to the General Partner in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock
issuance. Similarly, when the General Partner redeems or repurchases common shares or preferred shares, the Partnership redeems the corresponding General Partner Units or Preferred Units held by the General Partner at the same price.
9. iNet Income per Common Share or Common Unit
Basic net income per common share or Common Unit is computed by dividing net
income attributable to common shareholders or common unitholders, less dividends or distributions on share-based awards expected to vest (referred to as "participating securities" and primarily composed of unvested restricted stock units), by the weighted average number of common shares or Common Units outstanding for the period.
18
Diluted net income per common share is computed by dividing the sum of net income attributable to common shareholders and the noncontrolling interest in earnings allocable to Limited Partner Units (to the extent the Limited Partner Units are dilutive), less dividends or distributions on participating securities that are anti-dilutive, by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and, to the extent they are dilutive, weighted
average number of Limited Partner Units outstanding and any potential dilutive securities for the period. Diluted net income per Common Unit is computed by dividing the net income attributable to common unitholders, less dividends or distributions on participating securities that are anti-dilutive, by the sum of the weighted average number of Common Units outstanding and any potential dilutive securities for the period. iThe following table reconciles the components of basic and diluted net income per common share or Common Unit (in

The
following table summarizes the data that is excluded from the computation of net income per common share or Common Unit as a result of being anti-dilutive (in thousands):
As of June 30, 2022, we had itwo reportable operating segments, the first consisting of the ownership and rental of industrial real estate investments. We continue to increase our investments in quality industrial properties largely based on anticipated geographic trends in supply and demand for industrial buildings, as well as the real estate needs of our major tenants that operate on a national
level. We treat our industrial properties as a single operating and reportable segment based on our method of internal reporting. Properties not included in our reportable segments, because they are not industrial properties and do not by themselves meet the quantitative thresholds for separate presentation as a reportable segment, are generally referred to as non-reportable Rental Operations. Our non-reportable Rental Operations primarily include our remaining office properties and medical office property at June 30, 2022. The operations of our industrial properties, as well as our non-reportable Rental Operations, are collectively referred to as "Rental Operations."
Our second reportable segment consists of various real estate services such as development, general contracting, construction management, property management, asset management, maintenance and leasing
to third-party property owners, customers and joint ventures, and is collectively referred to as "Service Operations." The Service Operations segment is identified as one single operating segment because the lowest level of financial results reviewed by our chief operating decision maker are the results for the Service Operations segment in total. Further, our reportable segments are managed separately because each segment requires different operating strategies and management expertise.
Revenues by Reportable Segment
i
The
following table shows the revenues for each of the reportable segments, as well as a reconciliation to consolidated revenues (in thousands):
Property-level net operating income on a cash basis ("PNOI") is the non-GAAP supplemental performance measure that we use to evaluate the performance of, and to allocate resources among, the real estate investments in the reportable and operating segments that comprise our Rental Operations. PNOI for our Rental Operations segments is comprised of rental revenues less rental expenses and real estate taxes, along with certain other adjusting items (collectively referred to as "Rental Operations revenues and expenses excluded from PNOI," as shown in the following table). Additionally, we do not allocate interest expense, depreciation expense and certain other non-property specific revenues and expenses (collectively referred to as "Non-Segment Items," as shown in the following table) to our individual operating segments.
We evaluate the performance of
our Service Operations reportable segment using net income or loss, as allocated to that segment ("Earnings from Service Operations").
20
The most comparable GAAP measure to PNOI is income before income taxes. PNOI excludes expenses that materially impact our overall results of operations and, therefore, should not be considered as a substitute for income before income taxes or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, PNOI may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
i
The
following table shows a reconciliation of our segment-level measures of profitability to consolidated income before income taxes (in thousands):
(1) Includes underutilized in-fill sites, which may have had buildings/structures on site when we acquired them, that are either (i) under lease to a third party and, after the lease ends, are expected to be redeveloped or will require significant capital expenditures before re-leasing; or (ii) industrial/logistics properties that we intend to re-lease after significant retrofitting and/or environmental remediation is completed. The leases on these assets are usually short term in nature.
Assets Held-for-Sale
i
The
following table illustrates the number of sold or held-for-sale properties in this Report:
On June 11, 2022, the General Partner and the Partnership (collectively, the “Duke Realty Parties”) entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger (the “Merger Agreement”) with Prologis, Inc., a Maryland corporation (“Prologis”), Prologis, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership ("Prologis OP"), Compton Merger Sub LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis (“Prologis Merger Sub”), and Compton Merger Sub OP LLC, a Delaware limited liability company and a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis OP (“Prologis OP Merger Sub” and, together with Prologis, Prologis OP and Prologis Merger Sub, the “Prologis Parties”).
The Merger Agreement provides that upon the terms and subject to the conditions set forth in the Merger Agreement, (a)
the General Partner will merge with and into Prologis Merger Sub (the “Company Merger”), with Prologis Merger Sub surviving the merger and remaining a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis (the “Surviving Entity”), (b) thereafter, Prologis and the Surviving Entity will cause all of the outstanding equity interests of the Surviving Entity to be contributed to Prologis OP in exchange for the issuance by Prologis OP of partnership interests in Prologis OP to Prologis and/or its subsidiaries as directed by Prologis, and (c) thereafter, Prologis OP Merger Sub will be merged with and into the Partnership, with the Partnership surviving the merger and becoming a wholly owned subsidiary of Prologis OP (the “Partnership Merger” and, together with the Company Merger, the “Mergers”).
22
Under
the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of the General Partner and holders of Limited Partner Units in the Partnership will receive i0.475 shares of Prologis common stock or limited partnership interests in Prologis OP, respectively, for each common share of the General Partner or each Limited Partner Unit in the Partnership that they own. Upon completion of the Mergers, former holders of common stock of the General Partner are expected to own approximately i20%
of the then outstanding Prologis common stock, based on the number of shares of Prologis common stock outstanding as of June 30, 2022 and the number of shares of common stock and equity-based awards of the General Partner outstanding as of June 30, 2022.
The board of directors of the General Partner and Prologis have both unanimously approved the Merger Agreement, the Mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Merger Agreement. The transaction, which is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, is subject to the approval of the General Partner's and Prologis's shareholders and other customary closing conditions.

Business Overview
The General Partner and Partnership collectively specialize in the ownership, management and development of industrial real estate.
The General Partner is a self-administered and self-managed REIT that began
operations in 1986 and is the sole general partner of the Partnership. The Partnership is a limited partnership formed in 1993, at which time all of the properties and related assets and liabilities of the General Partner, as well as proceeds from a secondary offering of the General Partner's common shares, were contributed to the Partnership. Simultaneously, the Partnership completed the acquisition of Duke Associates, a full-service commercial real estate firm operating in the Midwest whose operations began in 1972. We operate the General Partner and the Partnership as one enterprise, and therefore, our discussion and analysis refers to the General Partner and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Partnership, collectively. A more complete description of our business, and of management's philosophy and priorities, is included in our 2021 Annual Report.
•Owned or jointly controlled 561 primarily industrial properties, of which 522 properties totaling 154.9 million square feet were in service and 39 properties totaling 12.6 million square feet were under development. The 522 in-service properties were comprised of 479 consolidated properties totaling 139.7 million square feet and 43 unconsolidated joint venture properties totaling 15.2 million square feet. The 39 properties under development consisted of 36 consolidated properties totaling 10.9 million square feet and three unconsolidated joint venture properties totaling 1.7 million square feet.
•Owned directly, or through ownership interests in unconsolidated joint ventures (with acreage not adjusted for our percentage ownership interest), approximately 450 acres of undeveloped land and controlled approximately 900
undeveloped acres through purchase options.
Our overall strategy is to continue to increase our investment in quality industrial properties primarily through development, on both a speculative and build-to-suit basis, supplemented with acquisitions in Coastal Tier 1 markets.
25
Proposed Merger with Prologis
On June 11, 2022, the General Partner entered into the Merger Agreement with Prologis by which Prologis will acquire the General Partner in an
all-stock transaction. The respective boards of directors of the General Partner and Prologis have unanimously approved the Mergers and related transactions. Under the terms of the Merger Agreement, shareholders of the General Partner and holders of Limited Partner Units in the Partnership will receive 0.475 of a Prologis share or limited partnership interests in Prologis OP, respectively, for each common share of the General Partner or each Limited Partner Unit in the Partnership that they own. The transaction, which is currently expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2022, is subject to the approval of the General Partner's and Prologis's shareholders and other customary closing conditions.
Key Performance Indicators
Our
operating results depend primarily upon rental income from our Rental Operations. The following discussion highlights the metrics that drive the performance of our Rental Operations, which management uses to operate the business, and that we consider to be critical drivers of future revenues.
Occupancy Analysis
Occupancy is an important metric for management and our investors for understanding our financial performance. Our ability to maintain high occupancy rates is among the principal drivers of maintaining and increasing rental revenue. The following table sets forth percent leased and average net effective rent information regarding our in-service portfolio of rental properties at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively:

Represents the percentage of total square feet leased based on executed leases and without regard to whether the leases have commenced.
**Average annual net effective rent represents average annual base rental payments per leased square foot, on a straight-line basis for the term of each lease, from space leased to tenants at the end of the most recent reporting period. This amount excludes additional amounts paid by tenants as reimbursement for operating expenses.
The higher leased percentage in our industrial portfolio at June 30, 2022, compared to June 30, 2021, was due to both leasing up speculative developments and leasing previously vacant space within our existing properties.

Total
Including Unconsolidated Joint Venture Properties
Our ability to maintain and improve occupancy and net effective rents primarily depends upon our continuing ability to lease vacant space. The volume and quality of our leasing activity is closely scrutinized by management in operation of the business and provides useful information regarding future performance. The initial leasing of development projects or vacant space
in acquired properties is referred to as first generation lease activity. The leasing of such space that we have previously held under lease to a tenant is referred to as second generation lease activity. Second generation lease activity may be in the form of renewals of existing leases or new leases of previously leased space. The total leasing activity for our consolidated and unconsolidated industrial rental properties, expressed in square feet of leases signed, is as follows (in thousands):

Annualized rental revenue represents average annual base rental payments, on a straight-line basis for the term of each lease, from space leased to tenants at the end of the most recent reporting period. Annualized rental revenue excludes additional amounts paid by tenants as reimbursement for operating expenses.
Property Acquisitions
Our decision process in determining whether or not to acquire a property or portfolio of properties involves several factors, including expected rent growth, multiple yield metrics, property locations and expected demographic growth in each location, current occupancy of the properties, tenant profile and remaining terms of the in-place leases in the properties. It is difficult
to predict which markets may present acquisition opportunities that align with our strategy. Because of the numerous factors considered in our acquisition decisions, we do not establish specific target yields for future acquisitions.
We acquired two in-service buildings during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and ten buildings during the year ended December 31, 2021.

Building
Dispositions
We dispose of properties on a basis that is generally consistent with our strategic plans. Our ability to dispose of properties, from time to time, on favorable terms is a key performance indicator from the perspective of management, as a source of capital to fund future investment. We believe that evaluating our disposition activity is also useful to investors.
We sold five consolidated properties during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 30 consolidated properties including two trailer storage lots during the year ended December 31, 2021.

In-place yields of completed dispositions are calculated as annualized net operating income from space leased to tenants at the date of sale on a lease-up basis, including full rent from all executed leases, even if currently in a free rent period, divided by the sales price. Annualized net operating income is comprised of base rental payments, excluding reimbursement of operating expenses, less current annualized operating expenses not recovered through tenant reimbursements.
** Represents percentage of total square feet leased based on executed leases and without regard to whether the leases have commenced, at the date of sale.
Development
We
expect to generate future earnings from Rental Operations as development properties are placed in service and leased. Development activities, and our ability to lease those developments, are viewed by management as key indicators of future earnings growth and provide useful information to investors for the same reasons.
At June 30, 2022, we had 12.6 million square feet of properties under development with total estimated costs upon completion of $1.95 billion compared to 11.1 million square feet with total estimated costs upon completion of $1.45 billion at June 30, 2021. The square footage includes both consolidated properties and unconsolidated joint venture development activity at 100% while estimated costs include consolidated properties and unconsolidated joint venture development activity at our 50% ownership share.

Supplemental Performance Measures
In addition to net income computed in accordance with GAAP, we assess and measure the overall operating results of the General Partner and the Partnership using certain non-GAAP supplemental performance measures, which include (i) Funds From Operations ("FFO"), (ii) PNOI and (iii)
Same-Property Net Operating Income - Cash Basis ("SPNOI").
These non-GAAP metrics are commonly used by industry analysts and investors as supplemental operating performance measures of REITs and are viewed by management to be useful indicators of operating performance. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors have considered presentation of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves. Management believes that the use of FFO, PNOI and SPNOI, combined with net income (which remains the primary GAAP measure of performance), improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public
and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful.
The most comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders or common unitholders, while the most comparable GAAP measure to PNOI and SPNOI is income (loss) before income taxes.
FFO, PNOI and SPNOI each exclude expenses that materially impact our overall results of operations and, therefore, should not be considered as a substitute for net income (loss) attributable to common shareholders or common unitholders, income (loss) before income taxes, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Furthermore, these metrics may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.
Funds From Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("Nareit")
created FFO as a non-GAAP supplemental measure of REIT operating performance. FFO, as defined by Nareit, represents GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains or losses from sales of real estate assets (including real estate assets incidental to our business) and related taxes, gains and losses from change in control, impairment charges related to real estate assets (including real estate assets incidental to our business) plus certain non-cash items such as real estate asset depreciation and amortization, and after similar adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures. We calculate FFO in accordance with the definition that was adopted by the Board of Governors of Nareit.
31
Management believes that the use of FFO as a performance measure enables investors
and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT's activity and assists them in comparing these operating results between periods or between different companies that use the Nareit definition of FFO.
The following table shows a reconciliation of net income attributable to common shareholders or common unitholders to the calculation of FFO attributable to common shareholders or common unitholders (in thousands):

Property-Level Net Operating Income - Cash Basis
PNOI is comprised of rental revenues
less rental expenses and real estate taxes, along with certain other adjusting items. As a performance metric that consists of only the cash-based revenues and expenses directly related to ongoing real estate rental operations, PNOI is narrower in scope than Nareit FFO.
PNOI, as we calculate it, may not be directly comparable to similarly titled, but differently calculated, measures for other REITs. We believe that PNOI is another useful supplemental performance measure, as it is an input in many REIT valuation models and it provides a means by which to evaluate the performance of the properties within our Rental Operations segments. The operations of our industrial properties, as well as our non-reportable Rental Operations (our residual non-industrial properties that have not yet been sold, referred to throughout as "non-reportable"), are collectively referred to as "Rental Operations."
The
major factors influencing PNOI are occupancy levels, acquisitions and sales, development properties that achieve stabilized operations, rental rate increases or decreases, and the recoverability of operating expenses.
Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report shows a calculation of our PNOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 and provides a reconciliation of PNOI for our Rental Operations segments to income before income taxes.
32
Same-Property Net Operating Income - Cash Basis
We
also evaluate the performance of our properties, including our share of properties we jointly control, on a "same-property" basis, using a metric referred to as SPNOI. We view SPNOI as a useful supplemental performance measure because it improves comparability between periods by eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of our portfolio.
On an individual property basis, SPNOI is generally computed in a consistent manner as PNOI.
We define our "same-property" population once a year at the beginning of the current calendar year and include buildings that were stabilized (the term "stabilized" means properties that have reached 90% leased or that have been in-service for at least one year since development completion or acquisition) as of January 1 of the prior calendar year. The "same-property" pool is also adjusted to remove properties
that were sold subsequent to the beginning of the current calendar year. As such, the "same-property" population for the period ended June 30, 2022 includes all properties that we owned or jointly controlled at January 1, 2022, which had both been owned or jointly controlled and had reached stabilization by January 1, 2021, and have not been sold.
A reconciliation of income before income taxes to SPNOI is presented as follows (in thousands, except percentage data):

The
composition of the line items titled "Rental Operations revenues and expenses excluded from PNOI" and "Non-Segment Items" from the table above are shown in greater detail in Note 10 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report.
We believe that the factors that impact SPNOI are generally the same as those that impact PNOI. The following table details the number of properties, square feet, average commencement occupancy and average cash rental rate for the properties included in SPNOI for the respective periods:
(1) Includes
the total square feet of the consolidated properties that are in the "same-property" population as well as 6.1 million square feet of space for unconsolidated joint ventures, which represents our ratable share of the 15.2 million total square feet of space for buildings owned by unconsolidated joint ventures that are in the "same-property" population.
(2) Commencement occupancy represents the percentage of total square feet where the leases have commenced.
(3) Represents the average annualized contractual rent per square foot for tenants in occupancy in properties in the "same-property" population. Cash rent does not include the tenant's obligation to pay property operating expenses and real estate taxes. If a tenant was within a free rent period, its rent would equal zero for purposes of this metric.

Total rental and related revenue
$
280,145
$

The
primary reasons for the increase in rental and related revenue were:
•We acquired 12 properties and placed 24 developments in service from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, which provided incremental revenues of $24.8 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.
•Rental and related revenue from our "same-property" portfolio increased by $13.0 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. These increased revenues were primarily driven by rental rate growth and occupancy within our "same-property" portfolio.
•The
continued acquisition of other real estate investments drove an increase of $3.5 million in rental and related revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.
•The sale of 35 in-service properties since January 1, 2021 resulted in a decrease of $18.5 million to rental and related revenue during the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, which partially offset the aforementioned increases to rental and related revenue.

Overall, real estate
tax expense increased by $2.4 million during the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to the same period in 2021. The increase in real estate tax expense was mainly due to higher real estate tax assessments in certain of our markets and the result of acquisitions and developments placed in service from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, which have generally been concentrated in markets with higher tax rates and/or assessed values. These increases were partially offset by the impact of property sales.
34
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation
and amortization expense was $93.9 million and $91.7 millionfor the three months ended June 30, 2022and 2021, respectively. The impact of acquired properties and developments placed in service was partially offset by property dispositions.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures represents our ownership share of net income from investments in unconsolidated joint ventures that generally own and operate rental properties. Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures was $5.6 million and $10.6 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized $1.6 million of equity in earnings related to our share of gain on a property sale to unrelated parties by an unconsolidated joint venture. During the three months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized $7.7 million of equity in earnings related to our share of gains on property sales to unrelated parties by unconsolidated joint ventures.
Gain on Sale of Properties
The $24.8 million recognized as gain on sale of properties for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily the result of the sale of one consolidated property.
The $95.2 million recognized as gain on sale of properties for
the three months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily the result of the sale of three consolidated properties.
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses consist of two components. The first component includes general corporate expenses, and the second component represents the indirect operating costs not allocated to, or absorbed by, either the development, leasing and operation of our consolidated properties or our Service Operations. Such indirect operating costs are primarily comprised of employee compensation, including related costs such as benefits and wage-related taxes, but also include other ancillary costs such as travel and information technology support. Total indirect operating costs, prior to any allocation or absorption, and general corporate expenses are collectively referred to as our overall pool
of overhead costs.
Those indirect costs not allocated to or absorbed by these operations are charged to general and administrative expenses. We regularly review our total overhead cost structure relative to our leasing, development and construction volume and adjust the level of total overhead, generally through changes in our level of staffing in various functional departments, as necessary, in order to control overall general and administrative expenses.
General and administrative expenses were $27.5 million and $15.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022and 2021, respectively. The following table sets forth the factors that led to the increased general and administrative expenses (in millions):

2021. Combined overhead costs capitalized to leasing and development totaled 24.7% and 28.3% of our overall pool of overhead costs for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, $3.5 million of our total overhead costs, which were not capitalizable, were recorded as expenses and presented separately in the line item "Non-Incremental Costs Related to Successful Leases" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the three months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $4.0 million of such expenses for the three months ended June 30, 2021.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $18.7 millionand$21.1 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to lower average interest rates resulting from refinancing unsecured notes and higher capitalized interest expense, partially offset by increased overall borrowings.
We capitalized $10.4 millionand $9.7 millionof interest costs for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Debt Extinguishment
We
did not repurchase any unsecured notes during the three months ended June 30, 2022.
During the three months ended June 30, 2021, the Partnership redeemed $83.7 million of its unsecured notes due October 2022, which had a stated interest rate of 3.88%. We recognized a loss of $3.9 million in connection with the redemption of these notes including the prepayment premium and write-off of the unamortized deferred financing costs.

•Rental and related revenue from our "same-property" portfolio increased by $21.8 million during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021. These increased revenues were primarily driven by rental rate growth and occupancy within our "same-property" portfolio.
•The
continued acquisition of other real estate investments drove an increase of $4.8 million in rental and related revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021.
•The sale of 35 in-service properties since January 1, 2021 resulted in a decrease of $39.3 million to rental and related revenue during the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to the same period in 2021, which partially offset the aforementioned increases to rental and related revenue.

The increase in real estate tax expense was mainly due to higher real estate tax assessments in certain of our markets and the result of acquisitions and developments placed in service from January 1, 2021 to June 30, 2022, which have generally been concentrated in markets with higher tax rates and/or assessed values. These increases were partially offset by the impact of property sales.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expense was $187.9 million and $185.3 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022and2021, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was mainly the result of continued growth in our portfolio through development and acquisition, and partially offset by the impact of property dispositions.
Equity in Earnings of Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Equity in earnings from unconsolidated joint ventures was $9.4 million and $26.9 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
During the six months ended June 30, 2022, we recognized
$1.6 million of equity in earnings related to our share of gain on a property sale to unrelated parties by an unconsolidated joint venture. During the six months ended June 30, 2021, we recognized $10.6 million of equity in earnings of unconsolidated joint ventures related to gains on the distribution of joint venture assets to our partner in two unconsolidated joint ventures made in connection with a plan of dissolution. We also recognized $10.0 million of equity in earnings related to our share of gains on the sale of properties to unrelated parties by unconsolidated joint ventures during the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Gain on Sale of Properties
The $235.6 million recognized as gain on sale of properties for the six months ended June 30,
2022 was primarily the result of the sale of five consolidated properties.

General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses increased from $40.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2021 to $51.4 million for the same period in 2022. The following table sets forth the factors that impacted general and administrative expenses (in millions):

(2) We capitalized $4.5 million and $12.4 million of our total overhead costs to leasing and development, respectively, for consolidated properties during the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to capitalizing $3.4 million and $15.7 million of such costs, respectively, during the six months ended June 30, 2021. Combined overhead costs capitalized to leasing and development totaled 20.6% and 24.2% of our overall
pool of overhead costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Additionally, $9.0 million of our total overhead costs, which were not capitalizable, were recorded as expenses and presented separately in the line item "Non-Incremental Costs Related to Successful Leases" on the Consolidated Statements of Operations for the six months ended June 30, 2022, compared to $7.0 million of such expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2021.
Interest Expense
Interest expense was $38.7 millionand$43.6 million for the six months ended June 30,
2022 and 2021, respectively. The decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2022 was primarily due to lower average interest rates resulting from refinancing unsecured notes and higher capitalized interest expense, partially offset by increased overall borrowings.
We capitalized $19.5 millionand$17.7 millionof interest costs during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Debt Extinguishment
In February 2022, the Partnership redeemed $300.0 million of its
unsecured notes due December 2024, which had a stated interest rate of 3.75%. A loss of $21.9 million was recognized in connection with the redemption of these notes, which included the prepayment premium and write-off of the unamortized deferred financing costs.
In January 2021, the Partnership assumed and immediately repaid $40.2 million of unsecured debt related to the assets received as part of the dissolution of unconsolidated joint ventures.
In June 2021, the Partnership redeemed $83.7 million of its remaining 3.88% unsecured notes due October 2022. A loss of $3.9 million was recognized in connection with the redemption of these notes including the prepayment premium and write-off of the unamortized deferred financing costs.
Liquidity
and Capital Resources
Overview
We expect to meet our short-term liquidity requirements over the next 12 months, which include payments of dividends and distributions, completion of development projects that are currently under construction and capital expenditures needed to maintain our current real estate assets, through working capital, net cash provided by operating activities and short term borrowings on the Partnership's unsecured line of credit. We had $44.2 million of cash on hand and no outstanding borrowings on the Partnership's $1.20 billion unsecured line of credit at June 30, 2022.
38
In
addition to our existing sources of liquidity, we expect to meet long-term liquidity requirements, such as scheduled mortgage and unsecured debt maturities, financing of development activities, acquisitions and other capital improvements, through multiple sources of capital including operating cash flow, proceeds from property dispositions and accessing the public debt and equity markets.
Sources of Liquidity
Rental Operations
Cash flows from Rental Operations is our primary source of liquidity and provides a stable source of cash flow to fund operational expenses. We believe that this cash-based revenue stream is substantially aligned with revenue recognition (except for items such as periodic straight-line rental income accruals and amortization of above or below market rents) as
cash receipts from the leasing of rental properties are generally received in advance of, or a short time following, the actual revenue recognition.
We are subject to a number of risks related to general economic conditions, including reduced occupancy, tenant defaults and bankruptcies and potential reduction in rental rates upon renewal or re-letting of properties, any of which would result in reduced cash flow from operations.
Debt and Equity Securities
We use the Partnership's unsecured line of credit (which is guaranteed by the General Partner) as a temporary source of capital to fund development activities, acquire additional rental properties and provide working capital. In June 2022, the Partnership amended and restated its existing revolving credit agreement ("Amendment")
to issue and draw down on a term loan with an aggregate commitment of $500.0 million. The term loan matures March 31, 2025 and bears interest at a variable rate of one-month SOFR plus 0.850% (equal to 2.46% as ofJune 30, 2022).
In 2017, the Alternative Reference Rates Committee proposed that the SOFR replace LIBOR. In March 2021, the administrator of LIBOR announced that the publication of LIBOR will cease for one-week and two-month USD LIBOR settings immediately after December 31, 2021, and the remaining USD LIBOR settings immediately after June 30, 2023. As a result of entering into the
Amendment in June 2022, the automatic transition of the benchmark rate on the unsecured line of credit from one-month LIBOR to SOFR was triggered. Such transition has not had a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.
Debt securities issued by the Partnership are governed pursuant to certain indentures and related supplemental indentures, which also require us to comply with financial ratios and other covenants regarding our operations. We were in compliance with all such covenants, as well as applicable covenants under our unsecured line of credit, at June 30, 2022.
39
At June 30,
2022, we had on file with the SEC an automatic shelf registration statement on Form S-3 relating to the offer and sale, from time to time, of an indeterminate amount of debt and equity securities (including guarantees of the Partnership's debt securities by the General Partner). Equity securities are offered and sold by the General Partner, and the net proceeds of such offerings are contributed to the Partnership in exchange for additional General Partner Units or Preferred Units. From time to time, we expect to issue additional securities under this automatic shelf registration statement to fund the repayment of debt, development and future acquisitions and for other general corporate purposes.
In February 2022, the General Partner terminated its previous equity distribution agreement for the ATM equity program and entered into a new equity distribution agreement pursuant to which the General Partner
may sell, from time to time, up to an aggregate offering price of $600.0 million of its common stock through sales agents or forward sellers. During the three months ended June 30, 2022, the General Partner issued a total of 1.3 million common shares pursuant to its ATM equity program, resulting in net proceeds of $74.9 million after paying total compensation of $757,000. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the General Partner issued a total of 2.0 million common shares pursuant to its ATM equity program, resulting in net proceeds of $114.3 million after paying total compensation of $1.2 million to the applicable sales agents, in addition to other fees paid totaling $326,000. As of June 30, 2022, the ATM equity program had $484.2 million worth of common shares available to issue.
Sale
of Real Estate Assets
We dispose of certain properties in a manner consistent with our strategic plans. Our ability to dispose of such properties on favorable terms is dependent upon a number of factors including the availability of credit to potential buyers to purchase properties at prices that we consider acceptable. Although we believe that we have demonstrated our ability to generate significant liquidity through property dispositions, potential future adverse changes to market and economic conditions could negatively impact our further ability to dispose of properties that no longer meet our long-term objectives.
Sales of land and properties provided $334.7 million and $266.0 million in net proceeds during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021,
respectively.
Transactions with Unconsolidated Joint Ventures
Transactions with unconsolidated joint ventures also provide a source of liquidity. From time to time we will sell properties to unconsolidated joint ventures, while retaining a continuing interest in that entity, and receive proceeds commensurate to those interests that we do not own. Additionally, unconsolidated joint ventures will from time to time obtain debt financing or sell properties and will then distribute to us, and our joint venture partners, all or a portion of the proceeds from such transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, our share of capital distributions from unconsolidated joint ventures totaled $33.6 million related to our share of the distribution of proceeds from third party mortgage loans originated in connection with the contribution
of three of our properties to a 20%-owned unconsolidated joint venture (see Note 6 to the consolidated financial statements included in Part I, Item 1 of this Report).
40
Uses of Liquidity
Our principal uses of liquidity include the following:
•property investment;
•leasing/capital costs;
•dividends and distributions to shareholders and unitholders;
•debt
service and maturities;
•opportunistic repurchases of outstanding debt; and
•other contractual obligations.
Property Investment
Our overall strategy is to continue to increase our investment in quality industrial properties, primarily through development, on both a speculative and build-to-suit basis, supplemented with acquisitions in Coastal Tier 1 markets.Pursuant to this strategy, we evaluate development and acquisition opportunities based upon our market outlook, including general economic conditions, supply and long-term growth potential. Our ability to make future property investments is dependent upon identifying suitable acquisition and development opportunities, and our continued access to our longer-term
sources of liquidity, including issuances of debt or equity securities as well as generating cash flow by disposing of selected properties.
Leasing/Capital Costs
Tenant improvements and lease-related costs pertaining to our initial leasing of newly completed space, or vacant space in acquired properties, are referred to as first generation expenditures. Such first generation expenditures for tenant improvements are included within "development of real estate investments" in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, while such expenditures for capitalizable lease-related costs are included within "other deferred leasing costs."
Cash expenditures related to the construction of a building's shell, as well as the associated site improvements, are also included within "development of real estate investments"
in our Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.
Tenant improvements and leasing costs to renew or re-let rental space that we previously leased to tenants for second generation leases are referred to as second generation expenditures. Building improvements that are not specific to any tenant but serve to improve integral components of our real estate properties are also second generation expenditures. One of the principal uses of our liquidity is to fund the second generation leasing/capital expenditures of our real estate investments.
The following table summarizes our second generation capital expenditures by type of expenditure, as well as capital expenditures for the development of real estate investments and for other deferred leasing costs (in thousands):
The capital expenditures in the table above include the capitalization of internal overhead costs. We capitalized $4.5 million and $3.4 million of overhead costs that are incremental to executing leases, including both first and second generation leases, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. We capitalized $12.4 million and
$15.7 million of overhead costs related to development activities, including both development and tenant improvement projects on first and second generation space, during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. Combined overhead costs capitalized to leasing and development totaled 20.6% and 24.2% of our overall pool of overhead costs for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Further discussion of the capitalization of overhead costs can be found herein, in the quarter-to-quarter and year-to-year comparisons of general and administrative expenses of this Item 2.
In addition to the capitalization of overhead costs, the totals for development of
real estate assets in the table above include the capitalization of $19.5 million and $17.7 million of interest costs during the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
Both our first and second generation expenditures vary significantly between leases on a per square foot basis, dependent upon several factors including the nature of a tenant's operations, the specific physical characteristics of each individual property and the market in which the property is located.
Dividend and Distribution Requirements
The General Partner is required to meet the distribution requirements of the Code in order to maintain its REIT status. We paid regular dividends or distributions of $0.28 per common share or Common Unit in the first and second quarters
of 2022.
We expect to continue to distribute at least an amount equal to our taxable earnings, to meet the requirements to maintain the General Partner's REIT status, and additional amounts as determined by the General Partner's board of directors. Distributions are declared at the discretion of the General Partner's board of directors and are subject to actual cash available for distribution, our financial condition, capital requirements and such other factors as the General Partner's board of directors deems relevant.
42
Debt Service and Maturities
Debt outstanding at June 30, 2022 had a face value totaling $3.93 billion with a weighted
average interest rate of 2.88% and maturities at various dates through 2050. Of this total amount, we had $3.88 billion of unsecured debt, $54.0 million of secured debt and no outstanding borrowings on our unsecured line of credit at June 30, 2022. Scheduled principal amortization and repayment of unsecured debt totaled $302.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2022.

We
anticipate generating capital to fund our debt maturities by using undistributed cash generated from our Rental Operations and property dispositions and by raising additional capital from future debt or equity transactions.
Repayments of Outstanding Debt
To the extent that it supports our overall capital strategy, we may purchase or redeem some of our outstanding unsecured notes prior to their stated maturities.
In February 2022, we redeemed $300.0 million of unsecured notes that were scheduled to mature in December 2024.
Contractual Obligations
Aside from repayment of long-term debt described above, there have been no other material changes in our outstanding
commitments since December 31, 2021, as previously discussed in our 2021 Annual Report.
43
Historical Cash Flows
Cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were $61.9 million and $53.2 million at June 30, 2022 and 2021, respectively. The following table highlights significant changes in net cash associated with our operating, investing and financing activities (in millions):
Cash flows from operating activities provide the cash necessary to meet our operational requirements and the receipt of rental income from Rental Operations continues to be our primary source of operating cash flows. The increase in net cash provided by operating activities compared to the six months ended June 30, 2021 was primarily
due to increasing our asset base through developing and leasing up new properties as well as increasing occupancy and rental rates within our existing portfolio. These increases in net cash provided by operating activities were partially offset by increased payroll and related costs during the six months ended June 30, 2022.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to market risks, including interest rates, in the ordinary
course of business.
Interest Rate Risk
We are exposed to interest rate changes primarily as a result of our line of credit and our long-term borrowings. Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows and to lower overall borrowing costs. To achieve our objectives, we borrow primarily at fixed rates and may enter into derivative financial instruments such as interest rate swaps, from time to time, in order to mitigate our interest rate risk on a related financial instrument. We do not enter into derivative or interest rate transactions for speculative purposes.
45
Our interest rate risk is monitored using
a variety of techniques. The table below presents the principal amounts (in thousands) of the expected annual maturities, weighted average interest rates for the average debt outstanding in the specified period and fair values (in thousands).

As
the above table incorporates only those exposures that existed at June 30, 2022, it does not consider those exposures or positions that could arise after that date. As a result, the ultimate impact of interest rate fluctuations will depend on future exposures that arise, our hedging strategies at that time, to the extent we are party to interest rate derivatives, and interest rates. Interest expense on our term loan and unsecured line of credit, to the extent there are outstanding borrowings, will be affected by fluctuations in the one-month SOFR, changes in our credit rating as well as certain sustainability linked metrics achieved each year. The interest rate at such point in the future as we may renew, extend or replace our unsecured line of credit will be heavily dependent upon the state of the credit environment.

Part
II - Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are parties to a variety of legal proceedings and claims arising in the ordinary course of our businesses. While these matters generally are covered by insurance, there is no assurance that our insurance will cover any particular proceeding or claim. We are not subject to any material pending legal proceedings other than routine litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. We presently believe that all of the proceedings to which we were subject as of June 30, 2022, taken as a whole, will not have a material adverse effect on our liquidity, business, financial condition or results of operations.
Item
1A. Risk Factors
In addition to the information set forth in this Report, you also should carefully review and consider the information contained in our other reports and periodic filings that we make with the SEC, including, without limitation, the information contained under the caption "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our 2021 Annual Report. The risks and uncertainties described in our 2021 Annual Report are not the only risks that we face. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us, or that we presently deem to be immaterial, also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. Significant additional risk factors since our 2021 Annual Report are related to our proposed merger with Prologis and are described below:
The exchange ratio will not be adjusted in the event of any change in the stock prices of either us or Prologis.
Upon
the consummation of the Mergers, each of our outstanding common shares will be converted into the right to receive 0.475 shares of Prologis common stock, with cash paid in lieu of any fractional shares, without interest. The exchange ratio of 0.475 was fixed in the Merger Agreement and, except for certain adjustments on account of changes in the capitalization of Prologis or the General Partner, will not be adjusted for changes in the market prices of either our common shares or shares of Prologis common stock. Changes in the market price of shares of Prologis common stock prior to the closing of the Mergers will affect the market value of the merger consideration that our shareholders will receive upon closing of the Mergers. Stock price changes may result from a variety of factors (many of which are beyond the control of us and Prologis), including the following factors:
•market
reaction to the announcement of the Mergers and the prospects of the combined company;
•changes in the respective businesses, operations, assets, liabilities and prospects of either company;
•changes in market assessments of the business, operations, financial position and prospects of either company or the combined company;
•market assessments of the likelihood that the Mergers will close;
•interest rates, general market and economic conditions and other factors generally affecting the market prices of our common shares and Prologis common stock;
•federal, state and local legislation, governmental regulation and legal developments
in the businesses in which we and Prologis operate; and
•other factors beyond our control and that of Prologis, including those described or referred to elsewhere in this “Risk Factors” section.
The market price of shares of Prologis common stock at the closing of the Mergers may vary from its price on the date the Merger Agreement was executed, on the date of the proxy statement/prospectus and on the date of our special meeting. As a result, the market value of the merger consideration represented by the exchange ratio will also vary.
48
If the market price of shares of Prologis common stock increases between
the date the Merger Agreement was signed, the date of the proxy statement/prospectus or the date of our special meeting and the closing of the Mergers, our shareholders could receive shares of Prologis common stock that have a market value upon completion of the Mergers that is greater than the market value of such shares calculated pursuant to the exchange ratio on the date the Merger Agreement was signed, the date of the proxy statement/prospectus or on the date of the special meeting, respectively. Conversely, if the market price of shares of Prologis common stock declines between the date the Merger Agreement was signed, the date of the proxy statement/prospectus or the date of our special meeting and the closing of the Mergers, our shareholders could receive shares of Prologis common stock that have a market value upon completion of the Mergers that is less than the market value of such shares calculated pursuant to the exchange ratio on the date the Merger Agreement
was signed, the date of the proxy statement/prospectus or on the date of the special meeting, respectively.
Therefore, while the number of shares of Prologis common stock to be issued per share of our common shares is fixed, our shareholders cannot be sure of the market value of the merger consideration they will receive upon completion of the Mergers.
Completion of the Mergers is subject to many closing conditions and if these conditions are not satisfied or waived, the Mergers will not be completed, which could result in the requirement that we pay certain termination fees.
The consummation of the Mergers is subject to certain conditions, including (a) the approval of the Merger Agreement by the holders of a majority of our outstanding common shares and the approval of
the issuance of Prologis common stock in the Mergers by a majority of votes of Prologis common stock cast on such matter, (b) the shares of Prologis common stock to be issued in the Company Merger having been approved for listing on the New York Stock Exchange, (c) no stop order suspending the effectiveness of the Form S-4 filed by Prologis in connection with the Mergers having been issued, (d) the absence of any temporary restraining order, injunction or other legal order, and no law being enacted, which would have the effect of making illegal or otherwise prohibiting the consummation of the Mergers, (e) the receipt of certain legal opinions by us and Prologis and (f) other customary conditions specified in the Merger Agreement.
There can be no assurance that the conditions to closing of the Mergers will be satisfied or waived or that the Mergers will be completed. Failure to consummate the Mergers may adversely
affect our results of operations and business prospects for the following reasons, among others: (i) we have incurred and will incur certain transaction costs, regardless of whether the proposed Mergers close, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations and ability to make distributions to our shareholders; and (ii) the proposed Mergers, whether or not they close, will divert the attention of certain of our management and other key employees from ongoing business activities, including the pursuit of other opportunities that could be beneficial to us. In addition, we or Prologis may terminate the Merger Agreement under certain circumstances, including, among other reasons, if the Mergers are not completed by January 11, 2023 (the “Drop Dead Date”), and if the Merger Agreement is terminated under certain circumstances specified in the Merger Agreement, we may be required to pay Prologis
a termination fee of $775.0 million and Prologis may be required to pay a termination fee to us of $1.50 billion. If our shareholders vote on but do not approve the Mergers, and the Merger Agreement is thereafter terminated, then we may be required to reimburse Prologis’s transaction expenses up to an amount equal to $15.0 million. If the Mergers are not consummated, the price of our common shares might decline.
Failure to complete the Mergers could negatively impact the price of our common shares, future business and financial results.
If the Mergers are not completed, our ongoing business could be adversely affected and we will be subject to a variety of risks associated with the failure to complete the Mergers, including the following:
•the
market price of our common shares could decline;
•being required, under certain circumstances, to pay to Prologis a termination fee of $775.0 million or if the shareholders vote on but do not approve the Mergers, and the Merger Agreement is thereafter terminated, then we may be required to reimburse Prologis’s transaction expenses up to an amount equal to $15.0 million;
49
•if the Merger Agreement is terminated and our board of directors seeks another business combination, we may not be able to find a party willing to enter into a transaction on terms equivalent to or more attractive than the terms Prologis has agreed to in the Merger Agreement;
•we
may experience negative reactions from the financial markets or our tenants, vendors or employees;
•having to pay certain costs relating to the proposed Mergers, such as legal, accounting, financial advisor, filing, printing and mailing fees; and
•diversion of management focus and resources from operational matters and other strategic opportunities while working to implement the Mergers.
If the Mergers are not completed, these risks could materially affect our business, financial results and stock price.
The pendency of the Mergers could adversely affect our business and operations.
Prior to the effective
time of the Mergers, some of our tenants, prospective tenants or vendors may delay or defer decisions, which could negatively affect our revenues, earnings, cash flows and expenses, regardless of whether the Merges are completed. Similarly, our current and prospective employees may experience uncertainty about their future roles with the combined company following the Mergers, which may materially adversely affect our ability to attract and retain key personnel during the pendency of the Mergers. In addition, due to operating restrictions in the Merger Agreement, we may be unable, during the pendency of the Mergers, to pursue strategic transactions, undertake significant capital projects, undertake certain significant financing transactions and otherwise pursue other actions, even if such actions would prove beneficial.
The Merger Agreement contains provisions that could make it difficult
for a third party to acquire us prior to the Mergers.
Pursuant to the Merger Agreement, we have agreed not to (a) solicit proposals relating to certain alternative transactions, (b) enter into discussions or negotiations or provide non-public information in connection with any proposal for an alternative transaction from a third party or (c) approve or enter into any agreements providing for any such alternative transaction, subject to certain exceptions to permit members of our board of directors to comply with their duties as directors under applicable law. Notwithstanding these “no-shop” restrictions, prior to obtaining the approval of our shareholders, under specified circumstances our board of directors may change its recommendation of the transaction, and we may also terminate the Merger Agreement to accept a superior proposal upon payment of the termination fee described below.
The
Merger Agreement provides that, in connection with the termination of the Merger Agreement under specified circumstances, we may be required to pay to Prologis a termination fee of $775.0 million. If our shareholders vote on, but do not approve, the Mergers, and the Merger Agreement is thereafter terminated, we may be required to reimburse Prologis's transaction expenses up to an amount equal to $15.0 million.
These provisions could discourage a potential competing acquirer that might have an interest in acquiring all or a significant part of us from considering or proposing such an acquisition, even if the potential competing acquirer was prepared to pay consideration with a higher per share value than the value proposed to be received or realized in the Mergers, or might result in a potential competing acquirer proposing to pay a lower per share value than it might otherwise have proposed to pay because
of the added expense of the termination fee that may become payable in certain circumstances under the Merger Agreement.
If the Mergers are not consummated by January 11, 2023, either Prologis or the General Partner may terminate the Merger Agreement.
Either Prologis or the General Partner may terminate the Merger Agreement if the Mergers have not been consummated by January 11, 2023. However, this termination right will not be available to a party if that party failed to comply with the Merger Agreement and that failure was the primary cause of, or resulted in, the failure to consummate the Mergers on or before January 11, 2023.

If
the Company Merger does not qualify as a tax-free reorganization, there may be adverse tax consequences.
The Company Merger is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The closing of the Company Merger is conditioned on the receipt by both Prologis and us of an opinion of our respective counsel to the effect that the Company Merger will qualify as a tax-free reorganization within the meaning of Section 368(a) of the Code. The foregoing opinions, however, are limited to the factual representations provided by Prologis and us to counsel and the assumptions set forth therein, and are not a guarantee that the Company Merger, in fact, will qualify as a tax-free reorganization. Moreover, neither we nor Prologis has requested or plans to request a ruling from the IRS that the Company Merger qualifies as a tax-free reorganization. If the Company
Merger were to fail to qualify as a tax-free reorganization, then our shareholders generally would recognize gain or loss, as applicable, equal to the difference between (i) the sum of the fair market value of the shares of Prologis common stock and cash in lieu of any fractional share of Prologis common stock received by our shareholder in the Company Merger; and (ii) our shareholder’s adjusted tax basis in our common shares.
