EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and First Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company owned an approximate 97.9% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 2.1% common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by limited partners. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common units of limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and recipients of RLP Units (See Note 6) of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company exercises exclusive and complete discretion over the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management and control and can cause it to enter into certain major transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions and refinancings. The management of the Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.
The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one enterprise. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of the Company's assets are held by, and its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.
We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Company and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. The main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership are:
Stockholders' Equity, Noncontrolling Interest and Partners' Capital. The 2.1% equity interest in the Operating Partnership held by entities other than the Company is classified within partners' capital in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and as a noncontrolling interest in the Company's financial statements.
Relationship to Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, although operations are also conducted through eight other limited partnerships, which are referred to as the "Other Real Estate Partnerships." The Operating Partnership is a limited partner, holding at least a 99% interest, and the Company is a general partner, holding at least a .01% general partnership interest through eight separate wholly-owned corporations, in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities that both the Company and the Operating Partnership consolidate. The Company's direct general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships is reflected as noncontrolling interest within the Operating Partnership's financial statements.
Relationship to Service Subsidiary. The Company has a direct wholly-owned subsidiary that does not own any real estate but provides services to various other entities owned by the Company. Since the Operating Partnership does not have an ownership interest in this entity, its operations are reflected in the consolidated results of the Company but not the Operating Partnership. Also, this entity owes certain amounts to the Operating Partnership, for which a receivable is included on the Operating Partnership's balance sheet but is eliminated on the Company's consolidated balance sheet, since both this entity and the Operating Partnership are fully consolidated by the Company.
We believe combining the Company's and Operating Partnership's quarterly reports into this single report results in the following benefits:
enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports; and
eliminates duplicative disclosures and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation for our investors to review since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.




To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides the following separate disclosures for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:
consolidated financial statements;
a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity's stockholders' equity or partners' capital, as applicable; and
a combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes distinct information related to each entity.
This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, First Industrial, L.P.

We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner (the "General Partner"), with an approximate 97.9% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at JuneSeptember 30, 2020. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through 8 other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships.

The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership and/or recipients of RLP Units of the Operating Partnership (See Note 6) pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan.
We also own a 49% equity interestinterests in, and provide various services to, atwo joint ventureventures (the "Joint Venture"Ventures") through a wholly- ownedwholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 ("2019 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 2019 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our 2019 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2019 audited consolidated financial statements included in our 2019 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

15


Use of Estimates
In order to conform with GAAP, in preparation of our consolidated financial statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, and our cash flows for each of the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2020-04 Reference Rate Reform (Topic 848). ASU 2020-04 contains practical expedients for reference rate reform-related activities that impact debt, leases, derivatives and other contracts. The guidance in ASU 2020-04 is optional and may be elected over time as reference rate reform activities occur. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company elected to apply the hedge accounting expedients related to probability and the assessments of effectiveness for future LIBOR-indexed cash flows to assume that the index upon which future hedged transactions will be based matches the index on the corresponding derivatives. Application of these expedients preserves the presentation of derivatives consistent with past presentation. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and may apply other elections as applicable as additional changes in the market occur.

In April 2020, the FASB issued a Staff Question-and-Answer ("Q&A") to clarify whether lease concessions related to the effects of COVID-19 require the application of the lease modification guidance under the new lease standard, which we adopted on January 1, 2019. Under the new leasing standard, an entity would have to determine, on a lease by lease basis, if a lease concession was the result of a new arrangement reached with the tenant, which would be accounted for under the lease modification framework, or if the lease concession was under the enforceable rights and obligations that existed in the original lease, which would be accounted for outside the lease modification framework. The Q&A provides entities with the option to elect to account for lease concessions as though the enforceable rights and obligations existed in the original lease as long as the total cash flows from the modified lease are substantially similar to the cash flows in the original lease. We have elected this option and, to the extent that a rent concession is granted as a deferral of payments but total payments are substantially the same, we will account for the concession as if no change has been made to the original lease.

Mortgage Loans Payable, Net
During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we paid off mortgage loans in the amount of $15,115.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, mortgage loans payable are collateralized, and in some instances cross-collateralized, by industrial properties with a net carrying value of $239,908.$237,939. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020.

Senior Unsecured Notes, Net
During the nine months ended September 30, 2020, the Operating Partnership issued $100,000 of 2.74% Series F Guaranteed Senior Notes due September 17, 2030 (the “2030 II Private Placement Notes”) and $200,000 of 2.84% Series G Guaranteed Senior Notes due September 17, 2032 (the “2032 Private Placement Notes”) (together with the 2027 Private Placement Notes, the 2028 Private Placement Notes, the 2029 Private Placement Notes, the 2029 II Private Placement Notes and the 2030 Private Placement Notes (each as described within this footnote), collectively, the "Private Placement Notes") in a private placement pursuant to a Note and Guaranty Agreement dated July 7, 2020. The 2030 II Private Placement Notes and the 2032 Private Placement Notes are unsecured obligations of the Operating Partnership that are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Company and require semi-annual interest payments.
Unsecured Term Loans
On July 15, 2020, we entered into a $200,000 unsecured term loan (the "2020 Unsecured Term Loan"). The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan replaces the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan that was previously scheduled to mature in January 2021. The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan matures on July 15, 2021, however, we have two, one-year extension options at our election, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan allows us to request incremental term loans in an aggregate amount equal to $100,000 and provides for interest-only payments initially at LIBOR plus 150 basis points. The rate is subject to adjust based on our investment grade rating. As noted in Note 10, we entered into the 2021 Swaps to effectively convert the rate applicable under the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan to a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.49% per annum based on the current LIBOR spread beginning in February 2021.

Our unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), our unsecured term loans (the "Unsecured Term Loans"), our Private Placement Notes and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain financial covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Under the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loans an event of default can occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreements. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans, the Private Placement Notes and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020;2020, however, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our lenders and noteholders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.

(A) The carrying amounts include unamortized premiums and discounts and exclude unamortized debt issuance costs.
The fair values of our mortgage loans payable were determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made based upon similar remaining maturities. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes were determined by using rates, as advised by our bankers, that are based upon recent trades within the same series of the senior unsecured notes, recent trades for senior unsecured notes with comparable maturities, recent trades for fixed rate unsecured notes from companies with profiles similar to ours, as well as overall economic conditions. The fair value of the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loans was determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term, assuming no repayment until maturity. We have concluded that our determination of fair value for each of our mortgage loans payable, senior unsecured notes, the Unsecured Term Loans and the Unsecured Credit Facility was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs.

Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own a 49% interest in a Joint Venturejoint venture with a third party partner for the purpose of developing, leasing, operating and potentially selling approximately 532 net developable acres of land located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area.area ("Joint Venture I").
During the three months ended September 30, 2020, we entered into a second joint venture with third party partners for the purpose of developing, leasing, operating and potentially selling land in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area ("Joint Venture II", and together with Joint Venture I, collectively, the "Joint Ventures"). The purchase price of the land was $49,000$70,530 and was acquired by the Joint Venture II via cash equity contributions from us and our joint venture partner during 2018.partners. Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own a 43% interest in Joint Venture II. See Note 6.
Under the operating agreements for each of the Joint Venture's operating agreement,Ventures, we act as the managing member of theeach Joint Venture and are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, development, construction supervision, disposition and asset management services to theeach Joint Venture. In addition, both of the Joint Venture'sVentures' operating agreement providesagreements provide us the ability to earn an incentive feefees based on the ultimate financial performance of the Joint Venture.Ventures.
The Joint Venture I has a 0.6 million square foot building under development (the "Project") at JuneSeptember 30, 2020. In connection with the Project, the Joint Venture I entered into a construction loan with a capacity of $28,000 with a third party lender (the "Joint Venture I Loan") during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Joint Venture I Loan has a $0$4,826 outstanding balance. With respect to the Joint Venture I Loan, we provided a guarantee to the lender, which, upon default of the loan, would require us to pay up to six months of interest and Project operating expenses with a maximum obligation of $500. Additionally, we provided the lender and our third party joint venture partner guarantees that require timely completion of construction of the Project as well as the payment, subject to certain exceptions, of cost overruns incurred in the development of the Project. Total estimated investment for the Project is $42,800$41,500 and the Joint Venture I is using a third partythird-party contractor to develop the building pursuant to a guaranteed maximum price contract. Lastly, we provided a guarantee to the lender related to typical non-recourse exceptions and an environmental indemnity. It is not possible to estimate the amount of additional costs, if any, that we may incur in connection with our completion guarantees to the third party lender and/or our joint venture partner as well as the non-recourse exception and environmental indemnity guarantees;guarantees, however, we do not expect that we will be required to make any significant payments in satisfaction of these guarantees.

During the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we recognized fees of $127$166 and $187$353 from the Joint VentureVentures related to asset management and development services we provided to the Joint Venture.Ventures. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we had aan aggregate receivable from the Joint VentureVentures of $46.

As part of our assessment of the appropriate accounting treatment for the Joint Venture,Ventures, we reviewed the operating agreementagreements of theeach Joint Venture in order to determine our rights and the rights of our joint venture partner,partners, including whether those rights are protective or participating. We found that theeach operating agreement contains certain protective rights, such as the requirement of both member's approvalmembers' approvals to sell, finance or refinance the property and to pay capital expenditures and operating expenditures outside of the approved budget; however, we also found that we and our Joint Venture partnerjoint venture partners jointly (i) approve the annual budget, (ii) approve certain expenditures, (iii) review and approve the Joint Venture's tax return before filing, and (iv) approve each lease at a developed property. We consider the latter rights substantive participation rights that result in shared, joint power over the activities that most significantly impact the performance of theeach Joint Venture. As such, we concluded to account for our investmentinvestments in theeach Joint Venture under the equity method of accounting.
6. Stockholders' Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership
Noncontrolling Interest of the Company

The equity positions of various individuals and entities that contributed their properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Limited Partner Units, as well as the equity positions of the holders of Limited Partner Units issued in connection with the grant of restricted limited partner Units ("RLP Units") pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan, are collectively referred to as the “Noncontrolling Interests.” An RLP Unit is a class of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership that is structured as a “profits interest” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is an award that is granted under our stock incentive plan. See Note 9. Subject to vesting and other certain exceptions (including the “book-up” requirements of RLP Units), the holders of Noncontrolling Interests may convert their Units into an equal number of shares of Common Stock, or a cash equivalent, at the Company's election. Net income is allocated to the Noncontrolling Interests based on the weighted average ownership percentage during the period.
Noncontrolling Interest - Joint Venture II

Our ownership interest in Joint Venture II is held through a partnership with a third party. We concluded that we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the partnership. As a result, we consolidate the partnership and reflect the third party's interest in Joint Venture II as Noncontrolling Interests.

ATM Program

On February 14, 2020, we entered into distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell up to 14,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for up to $500,000 aggregate gross sales proceeds, from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings (the "2020 ATM Program""ATM"). Under the terms of the 2020 ATM, Program, sales are to be made through transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange,, sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or sales made through privately negotiated transactions. During the sixthree months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company did not issue anywe issued 1,842,281 shares of the Company's common stock under the 2020 ATM Program.which resulted in $78,718 of proceeds, which is net of the payment of compensation to certain sales agents of $795.

In the next 12 months, we expect to amortize approximately $410 into net income by increasing interest expense for derivative instruments we settled in previous periods. Additionally, recurring settlement amounts on the 2014 Swaps and the 2015 Swaps and the 2020 Swap (as defined in Note 10) will also be reclassified to net income.

9. Long-Term Compensation
Awards with Performance Measures
During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company granted 59,263 performance units ("Performance Units") and 322,477 RLP Units, based on performance-based criteria ("Performance RLP Units" and, together with the Performance Units, collectively the "Performance Awards") were granted to certain employees, which had a fair value of approximately $7,883 on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. A portion of each Performance Award vests based upon the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock compared to the TSRs of the FTSE Nareit All Equity Index and the remainder vests based upon the TSR of the Company’s common stock compared to nine other peer industrial real estate companies. The performance periods for such awards are one year, two years and three years. Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the applicable vesting period for the Performance Awards. At the end of the measuring period, vested Performance Units convert into shares of common stock.
Service Based Awards
For the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the Company awarded 79,19580,387 shares of restricted stock units ("Service Units") and 119,596 RLP Units based on service-based criteria ("Service RLP Units" and together with the Service Units, collectively the "Service Awards") were granted to certain employees and outside directors, which had an aggregate fair value of approximately $8,592$8,641 on the date such awards were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Service Awards granted to employees generally vest ratably over three years based on continued employment. Service Awards granted to outside directors vest after one year. The Operating Partnership issued restricted Unit awards to the Company in the same amount and on substantially the same terms as the restricted stock awards. Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the Service Awards. At the end of the service period, vested Service Units convert into shares of common stock.
Retirement Eligibility
Commencing January 1, 2020, all award agreements issued underlying Performance Awards and Service Awards contain a retirement benefit for employees with at least 10 years of continuous service and are at least 60 years old. For employees that meet the age and service eligibility requirements, their awards are non-forfeitable. As such, during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we expensed 100% of the awards granted to retirement-eligible employees at the grant date as if fully vested. For employees who will meet the age and service eligibility requirements during the normal vesting periods, the grants are amortized over the shorter service period.
Outstanding Performance Awards and Service Awards
We recognized $3,108$3,078 and $2,053$2,130 for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and $6,749$9,827 and $3,815$5,945 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, respectively, in compensation expense related to the amortization of the Service Awards and the Performance Awards. Service Award and Performance Award amortization capitalized in connection with development activities was $330$358 and $238$243 for the three months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019, and $1,312$1,670 and $442$684 for the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we had $18,945$15,845 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested Service Awards and Performance Awards. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 1.00 year.0.92 years.

10. Derivatives
Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use derivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
Cash Flow Hedges
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we entered into 1, one-year interest rate swap with a notional value of $150,000 to manage our exposure to changes in the one month LIBOR rate (the "2020 Swap"). The 2020 Swap, which commenced April 1, 2020, fixes the one month LIBOR rate component on $150,000 of our outstanding balance on our Unsecured Credit Facility at 0.42%. We designated the 2020 Swap as a cash flow hedge.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, in anticipation of refinancing our 2014 Term Loan (see Notes 4 and 13), we also entered into 3, five-year interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200,000 to fix the one month LIBOR rate (the "2021 Swaps"). The 2021 Swaps, which are effective commencing February 1, 2021, fix the one month LIBOR rate at 0.99%. We have designated the 2021 Swaps as cash flow hedges.
In connection with the originationsorigination of the 2014 Unsecured Term LoansLoan, the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan and the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan (see Note 4), we entered into interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in the one monthone-month LIBOR rate. TheWe have 4 interest rate swaps, which fix the variable rate of the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan, havewith an aggregate notional value of $200,000, mature on January 29, 2021 andthat fix the one-month LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 2.29% and mature on January 29, 2021 (the "2014 Swaps"). The, 6 interest rate swaps, which fix the variable rate of the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan, havewith an aggregate notional value of $260,000, mature on September 12, 2022 andthat fix the one-month LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.79% and mature on September 12, 2022 (the "2015 Swaps") and 3 interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200,000, that fix the one-month LIBOR rate at 0.99% that are effective commencing February 1, 2021 and mature on February 2, 2026 (the "2021 Swaps"). We designated the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps and 2015the 2021 Swaps as cash flow hedges.
Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, we entered into an interest rate swap to manage our exposure to changes in the one-month LIBOR rate related to our Unsecured Credit Facility (the "2020 Swap"). The 2020 Swap commenced April 1, 2020, matures on April 1, 2021, has a notional value of $150,000 and fixes the one-month LIBOR rate at 0.42%. We initially designated the 2020 Swap as a cash flow hedge. During the three months ended September 30, 2020, however, we accelerated the reclassification of the fair value of the 2020 Swap from other comprehensive income to earnings since the hedged forecasted transaction is no longer expected to be probable to occur. The accelerated loss recorded on the 2020 Swap for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was not significant.
Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain certain cross-default provisions that may be triggered in the event that our other indebtedness is in default, subject to certain thresholds. As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the provisions of these agreements. If we had breached these agreements, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value.
The following table sets forth our financial liabilities related to the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, the 2020 Swap and the 2021 Swaps which are included in the line item Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020:

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, the 2020 Swap or the 2021 Swaps during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. See Note 7 for more information regarding our derivatives.
The estimated fair value of the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, the 2020 Swap and the 2021 Swaps was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair value to account for potential non-performance risk, including our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty's non-performance risk. We determined that the significant inputs used to value the 2014 Swaps, the 2015 Swaps, the 2020 Swap and the 2021 Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

11. Related Party Transactions
At JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, the Operating Partnership had receivable balances of $9,617$9,471 and $10,031, respectively, from a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of our industrial properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.
In conjunction with the development of industrial properties, we have entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction of industrial properties. At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we had six6 industrial properties totaling approximately 1.01.1 million square feet of GLA under construction. The estimated total investment as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020 is approximately $94,700.$104,900. Of this amount, approximately $53,600$48,000 remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated total investment.
13. Subsequent Events
From JulyOctober 1, 2020 to July 24,October 23, 2020, we acquired 1sold 2 industrial propertyproperties for a purchase pricegross proceeds of $6,100,$5,610, excluding transaction costs.
On July 7,From October 1, 2020 we entered into a Note and Guaranty Agreement to sell up to $100,000October 23, 2020, Joint Venture I sold 2 land parcels for gross proceeds of 2.74% Series F Guaranteed Senior Notes due September 17, 2030 (the “2030 II Private Placement Notes”) and up to $200,000 of 2.84% Series G Guaranteed Senior Notes due September 17, 2032 (the “2032 Private Placement Notes”) issued by the Operating Partnership in a private placement. The issuance and sale of the 2030 II Private Placement Notes and the 2032 Private Placement Notes is anticipated to occur on or about September 17, 2020. Upon issuance, the 2030 II Private Placement Notes and the 2032 Private Placement Notes will require semi-annual interest payments with principal due on September 17, 2030, with respect to the 2030 II Private Placements Notes, and September 17, 2032, with respect to the 2032 Private Placement Notes.
On July 15, 2020, we entered into a $200,000 unsecured term loan (the "2020 Unsecured Term Loan"). The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan was used to repay the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan that was previously scheduled to mature in January 2021. The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan allows us to request incremental term loans in an aggregate amount equal to $100,000 and provides for interest-only payments initially at LIBOR plus 150 basis points. The rate is subject to adjust based on our investment grade rating. As noted in Note 10, we entered into the 2021 Swaps to effectively convert the rate applicable under the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan to a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.49% per annum based on the current LIBOR spread beginning in February 2021. The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan matures on July 15, 2021; however, we have two, one-year extension options at our election, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
As previously disclosed, on June 29, 2020, Bruce W. Duncan, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, announced his retirement from the Board of Directors. The effective date of Mr. Duncan’s retirement was July 15, 2020. Matthew S. Dominski, who has served as a First Industrial director since 2010, has been appointed to the role of chairman of the board.$22,429, excluding transaction costs.

Item 2.Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-Q. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries, including First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership") and its consolidated subsidiaries.
Forward-Looking Statements
The following discussion may contain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the "Exchange Act"). We intend for such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. Forward-looking statements are based on certain assumptions and describe our future plans, strategies and expectations, and are generally identifiable by use of the words "believe," "expect," "plan," "intend," "anticipate," "estimate," "project," "seek," "target," "potential," "focus," "may," "will," "should" or similar words. Although we believe the expectations reflected in forward-looking statements are based upon reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained or that results will not materially differ.
Important factors that we think could cause our actual results to differ materially from expected results are summarized below. One of the most significant factors, however, is the ongoing impact of the current outbreak of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), on the U.S., regional and global economies and the broader financial markets. The outbreak of COVID-19 has also impacted, and is likely to continue to impact, directly or indirectly, many of the other important factors below.
New factors emerge from time to time, and it is not possible for us to predict which factors will arise. In addition, we cannot assess the impact of each factor on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements. In particular, it is difficult to fully assess the impact of COVID-19 at this time due to, among other factors, uncertainty regarding the severity and duration of the outbreak domestically and internationally and the effectiveness of federal, state and local governments’ efforts to contain the spread of COVID-19 and respond to its direct and indirect impact on the U.S. economy and economic activity.
Factors which could have a materially adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:
changes in national, international, regional and local economic conditions generally and real estate markets specifically;
changes in legislation/regulation (including changes to laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts) and actions of regulatory authorities;
our ability to qualify and maintain our status as a real estate investment trust;
the availability and attractiveness of financing (including both public and private capital) and changes in interest rates;
the availability and attractiveness of terms of additional debt repurchases;
our ability to retain our credit agency ratings;
our ability to comply with applicable financial covenants;
our competitive environment;
changes in supply, demand and valuation of industrial properties and land in our current and potential market areas;
our ability to identify, acquire, develop and/or manage properties on favorable terms;
our ability to dispose of properties on favorable terms;
our ability to manage the integration of properties we acquire;
potential liability relating to environmental matters;
defaults on or non-renewal of leases by our tenants;
decreased rental rates or increased vacancy rates;
higher-than-expected real estate construction costs and delays in development or lease-up schedules;
the uncertainty and economic impact of pandemics, epidemics or other public health emergencies or fear of such events, such as the recent outbreak of COVID-19;
potential natural disasters and other potentially catastrophic events such as acts of war and/or terrorism;
litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes;
risks associated with our investments in joint ventures, including our lack of sole decision-making authority; and
other risks and uncertainties described in this report, in Item 1A, "Risk Factors" and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 as well as those risks and uncertainties discussed from time to time in our other Exchange Act reports and in our other public filings with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the "SEC").

Management's Overview
We believe our financial condition and results of operations are, primarily, a function of our performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisition and development of additional industrial properties, disposition of industrial properties and access to external capital.
We generate revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from operating leases of our industrial properties. Such revenue is offset by certain property specific operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities and insurance expenses, along with certain other costs and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization costs and general and administrative and interest expenses. Our revenue growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to: (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties; (ii) maximize tenant recoveries; and (iii) minimize operating and certain other expenses. Revenues generated from our leases are a significant source of funds, in addition to income generated from gains on the sale of our properties (as discussed below), for our liquidity. The leasing of property, in general, and occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and certain non-operating expenses, in particular, are impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If we were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, our revenue would decline. Further, if a significant number of our tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if we were unable to rent our properties on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.
Our revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on our ability to acquire existing and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. We seek to identify opportunities to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seek to acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they are leased, generate revenue from rental income, tenant recoveries and fees, which, as discussed above, are sources of funds for our distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders. The acquisition and development of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as expected. For example, acquired existing and acquired and developed new properties may not sustain and/or achieve anticipated occupancy and rental rate levels. With respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties. Also, we face significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded REITs and private investors. Further, as discussed below, we may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities we identify. If we were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable terms, or if such investments did not perform as expected, our revenue growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.
We also generate income from the sale of our properties (including existing buildings, buildings which we have developed or re-developed on a merchant basis and land). The gain or loss on, and fees from, the sale of such properties are included in our income and can be a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries. Proceeds from sales are used to repay outstanding debt and, market conditions permitting, may be used to fund the acquisition of existing industrial properties, and the acquisition and development of new industrial properties. The sale of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Further, our ability to sell properties is limited by safe harbor rules applying to REITs under the Code which relate to the number of properties that may be disposed of in a year, their tax bases and the cost of improvements made to the properties, along with other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms, our income growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.
2832


We utilize a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under our unsecured credit facility (the "Unsecured Credit Facility") and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securities to refinance debt and finance future acquisitions and developments. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in our financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts our cost of capital and our ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and our ability to fund acquisitions and developments. Our ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our debt, the market's perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of the Company's common stock. If we were unable to access external capital on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we granted rent deferral requests to 18 tenants totaling $0.7$1.0 million to 14 different tenants at our properties. All of these deferral requests require full repayment by December 31, 2020 and do not impact revenue recognition. As of October 22, 2020, $0.3 million of the $1.0 million of rent deferrals is outstanding.

During the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we recognized bad debt expense of $0.8 million relatingrecorded a reserve or did not recognize cash rental revenue due to converting certain tenants to cash rents andbasis in a previous period in the amount of $1.2 million. Additionally, during the same period, we reversed $1.4 million relating toof deferred rent receivables for whichsince our assessment that full collection of future contractual lease payments is no longer probable.

Results of Operations
The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2019 and held as an in-service property through JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2019. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service, unless we anticipate tenant move-outs within two years of ownership would drop occupancy below 75%. Acquisitions that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition and developments and redevelopments are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development/redevelopment construction completion. Acquired properties with occupancy greater than 75% at acquisition, but with tenants that we anticipate will move out within two years of ownership, will be placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or twelve months after move out. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2018 and held as an operating property through JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2018. (Re)Developments include developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2019; or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2019. Other revenues are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous revenues. Other property expenses are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, vacant land expenses and other miscellaneous regional expenses.
Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition, (re)development and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash werewas approximately $95.0 million and $5.9 million, respectively.$171.1 million. We also had $404.1$724.6 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020.
We have considered our short-term (through JuneSeptember 30, 2021) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We have a $200.0 million term loan maturing in JanuaryJuly 2021. On July 15, 2020,In connection with this maturity, we repaid this $200.0 million term loan by entering into a new $200.0 million term loan (See Subsequent Events).have two, one-year extension options at our election, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. With the exception of this payment obligation, we believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company's REIT qualification under the Code and distributions approved by the Company's Board of Directors. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash on hand, cash flows provided by operating activities as well as the disposition of select assets. These needs may also be met by the issuance of additional equity or debt securities, subject to market condition and contractual restrictions including the issuance of $300.0 million of private placement notes that we are anticipating closing on or about September 17, 2020 (See Subsequent Events), or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.
We expect to meet long-term (after JuneSeptember 30, 2021) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through the disposition of select assets, long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities, subject to market conditions.
At June 30, 2020, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 1.39%. As of July 24,October 23, 2020, we had approximately $404.1$724.6 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if we fail to meet any of these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants for the next twelve months.
As discussed above, the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak has adversely impacted states and cities where our tenants operate their businesses and where our properties are located. The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as the reduced economic activity severely impacts certain of our tenants’ business, financial condition and liquidity and may cause certain tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full. To be judicious with our capital, with a near-term emphasis on maintaining liquidity, during the first quarter 2020, we have suspended all new speculative vertical development projects for the foreseeable future other than completing development and redevelopment properties that were already in progress as of March 31, 2020 and expenditures required to obtain permits and other horizontal construction work; however, becausework. However, based on favorable market conditions, we entered into a lease in July 2020 with a tenant for a 0.2 million square foot build-to-suit development projectwill commence construction on First Park Miami and First 95 Distribution Center starting in the Inland Empire with an estimated total investment costfourth quarter of approximately $22.4 million (“New BTS Project”), we are commencing with construction of the New BTS Project.2020. Our total projected costs to complete construction and stabilize the developments and redevelopments under construction (including First Park Miami, First 95 Distribution Center and a build-to-suit project that commenced during the New BTS Project)third quarter 2020), to fund developments that are complete but not fully funded as well asand to complete ongoing permitting and other planned horizontal construction work at one of our land sites, is approximately $73$50 million for the remainder of 2020 and approximately $44$100 million for 2021 and beyond.beyond.
Our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch Ratings of BBB/Stable, Baa2/Stable and BBB/Stable, respectively. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient capital; however,capital. However, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.

Market Risk
The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes "forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, as described below.
Interest Rate Risk
The following analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments which are held by us at JuneSeptember 30, 2020 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.
In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.
At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, $1,465.4$1,614.2 million or 89.6%100% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. As of the same date, $170.0 million or 10.4% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was variable rate debt. At December 31, 2019, $1,332.9 million or 89.4% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. As of the same date, $158.0 million or 10.6% of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was variable rate debt.
At JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and December 31, 2019, a portion of ourthe fixed rate debt in the amounts of $610.0 million and $460.0 million, respectively, includes variable-ratevariable rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of derivative instruments with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $460.0 million, that mitigate our exposure to our Unsecured Term Loans' variable interest rates. rates, which are based on LIBOR.
At JuneSeptember 30, 2020, we also have a derivative with a notional amount of $150.0 million that mitigates the variable rate debt includes $460.0exposure on $150.0 million of the outstanding balance of our Unsecured Term LoansCredit Facility (the "2020 Swap"), for which the interest rate is variable and $150.0 millionbased upon one-month LIBOR. The 2020 Swap commenced April 1, 2020, matures on April 1, 2021 and fixes the one-month LIBOR rate component of the interest rate of our outstanding balance onUnsecured Credit Facility at 0.42%. At September 20, 2020, the Unsecured Credit Facility which are each based upon LIBOR,did not have an outstanding balance. We initially designated the 2020 Swap as defined ina cash flow hedge. During the loan agreements, and at December 31, 2019,three months ended September 30, 2020, however, we accelerated the variable rate debt that was swapped included $460.0 millionreclassification of the fair value of the 2020 Swap from other comprehensive income to earnings since the hedged forecasted transaction is no longer expected to be probable to occur. The accelerated loss recorded on the 2020 Swap for the three months ended September 30, 2020 was not significant. Also, during the nine months ended September 30, 2020, in anticipation of refinancing our $200.0 million Unsecured Term Loans. Loan maturing in January 2021 (see Note 4), we entered into interest rate swaps (the "2021 Swaps") with an aggregate notional value of $200.0 million which fix the one-month LIBOR rate at 0.99%. The 2021 Swap's effective period commences February 1, 2021 and matures on February 2, 2026. We designated the 2021 Swaps as cash flow hedges.
The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage the risks increases in interest rates would have on our earnings and cash flows. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the base interest rate used to calculate the all-in interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.
Our variable rate debt is subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. If the LIBOR rates relevant to our variable rate debt were to have increased 10%, we estimate that our interest expense during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 would have increased by approximately $0.08$0.09 million based on our average outstanding floating-rate debt during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020. Additionally, if weighted average interest rates on our weighted average fixed rate debt during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 were to have increased by 10% due to refinancing, interest expense would have increased by approximately $2.7$4.1 million during the sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020.
As of JuneSeptember 30, 2020, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately $1,723.5$1,712.4 million based on our estimate of the then-current market interest rates.
During the six months ended June 30, 2020, we entered into a one-year interest rate swap with a notional value of $150 million to manage our exposure to changes in the one-month LIBOR rate (the "2020 Swap"). The 2020 Swap, which commenced April 1, 2020, fixes the one month LIBOR rate component on $150.0 million of our outstanding balance on our Unsecured Credit Facility at 0.42%. Additionally, during the six months ended June 30, 2020, in anticipation of refinancing our $200.0 million Unsecured Term Loan maturing in January 2021 (See Subsequent Events), we entered into interest rate swaps (the "2021 Swaps") with an aggregate notional value of $200.0 million which fix the one-month LIBOR rate at 0.99%. The 2021 Swap's effective period commences February 1, 2021. We designated both the 2020 Swap and the 2021 Swaps as cash flow hedges.

Supplemental Earnings Measure
Investors in and industry analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations ("FFO") and net operating income ("NOI") as supplemental operating performance measures of an equity REIT. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time through depreciation. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors prefer to supplement operating results that use historical cost accounting with measures such as FFO and NOI, among others. We provide information related to FFO and same store NOI ("SS NOI") both because such industry analysts are interested in such information, and because our management believes FFO and SS NOI are important performance measures. FFO and SS NOI are factors used by management in measuring our performance, including for purposes of determining the compensation of our executive officers under our 2020 incentive compensation plan.
Neither FFO nor SS NOI should be considered as a substitute for net income, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Neither FFO nor SS NOI represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and neither should be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.
Funds From Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has recognized and defined for the real estate industry a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance, FFO, that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO is calculated by us in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In accordance with the restated NAREIT definition of FFO, we calculate FFO to be equal to net income available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stockholders and participating securities, plus depreciation and other amortization of real estate, plus impairment of real estate, minus gain or plus loss on sale of real estate, net of any income tax provision or benefit associated with the sale of real estate. We also exclude the same adjustments from our share of net income from an unconsolidated joint venture.ventures.
Management believes that the use of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities, combined with net income (which remains the primary measure of performance), improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management believes that, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of real estate assets, impairment of real estate assets and real estate asset depreciation and amortization, investors and analysts are able to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT's activity and use these operating results for assistance in comparing these operating results between periods or to those of different companies.
The following table shows a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders and participating securities to the calculation of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019.

Same Store Net Operating Income
SS NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides a measure of rental operations and, as calculated by us, that does not factor in depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, interest expense, income tax benefit and expense, and equity in income or loss from our joint venture.ventures. We define SS NOI as revenues minus property expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses, minus the NOI of properties that are not same store properties and minus the impact of straight-line rent, above and below market rent amortization and lease termination fees. We exclude straight-line rent and above (below) market rent in calculating SS NOI because we believe it provides a better measure of actual cash basis rental growth for a year-over-year comparison. As so defined, SS NOI may not be comparable to same store net operating income or similar measures reported by other REITs that define same store properties or NOI differently. The major factors influencing SS NOI are occupancy levels, rental rate increases or decreases and tenant recoveries increases or decreases. Our success depends largely upon our ability to lease space and to recover the operating costs associated with those leases from our tenants.
The following table shows a reconciliation of the same store revenues and property expenses disclosed in the results of operations (and reconciled to revenues and expenses reflected on the statements of operations) to SS NOI for the three and sixnine months ended JuneSeptember 30, 2020 and 2019.

Subsequent Events
From July 1, 2020 to July 24, 2020, we acquired one industrial property for a purchase price of $6.1 million, excluding transaction costs.
On July 7, 2020, we entered into a Note and Guaranty Agreement to sell up to $100.0 million of 2.74% Series F Guaranteed Senior Notes due September 17, 2030 (the “2030 II Private Placement Notes”) and up to $200.0 million of 2.84% Series G Guaranteed Senior Notes due September 17, 2032 (the “2032 Private Placement Notes”) issued by the Operating Partnership in a private placement. The issuance and sale of the 2030 II Private Placement Notes and the 2032 Private Placement Notes is anticipated to occur on or about September 17, 2020. Upon issuance, the 2030 II Private Placement Notes and the 2032 Private Placement Notes will require semi-annual interest payments with principal due on September 17, 2030, with respect to the 2030 II Private Placements Notes, and September 17, 2032, with respect to the 2032 Private Placement Notes.
On July 15, 2020, we entered into a $200.0 million unsecured term loan (the "2020 Unsecured Term Loan"). The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan was used to repay the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan that was previously scheduled to mature in January 2021. The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan allows us to request incremental term loans in an aggregate amount equal to $100.0 million and provides for interest-only payments initially at LIBOR plus 150 basis points. The rate is subject to adjust based on our investment grade rating. As noted above, we entered into the 2021 Swaps to effectively convert the rate applicable under the 2020 Unsecured Term Loan to a fixed interest rate of approximately 2.49% per annum based on the current LIBOR spread beginning in February 2021. The 2020 Unsecured Term Loan matures on July 15, 2021; however, we have two, one-year extension options at our election, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions.
As previously disclosed, on June 29, 2020, Bruce W. Duncan, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Company, announced his retirement from the Board of Directors. The effective date of Mr. Duncan’s retirement was July 15, 2020. Matthew S. Dominski, who has served as a First Industrial director since 2010, has been appointed to the role of chairman of the board.

PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1.Legal Proceedings
None.
Item 1A.Risk Factors
The following risk factor reflects an addition to the risk factors contained in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019. For a full description of these risk factors, please refer to "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019.

The current pandemic of the novel coronavirus, or COVID-19, and the future outbreak of other highly infectious or contagious diseases, may adversely affect our business.
The World Health Organization and certain national and local governments have characterized COVID-19 as a pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has caused, and another pandemic in the future could cause, disruptions to regional and global economies and significant volatility and negative pressure in the financial markets. The COVID-19 pandemic, or a future pandemic, could also have a material and adverse effect on our ability to successfully operate and on our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:

reduced economic activity may severely impact our tenants' businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause certain of our tenants to be unable to meet their obligations to us in full, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of such obligations and/or terminate their leases early or not renew;

delays to or halting of construction activities, including permitting and obtaining approvals, related to our ongoing development and redevelopment projects as well as tenant improvements;

a difficulty in accessing the capital and lending markets (or a significant increase in the costs of doing so), impacts to our credit ratings, or a severe disruption or instability in the global financial markets, or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions, may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing debt obligations on a timely basis;

our ability to meet the financial covenants of our Unsecured Credit Facility and other debt agreements and result in a default and potentially an acceleration of indebtedness, and such non-compliance could negatively impact our ability to make additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and pay dividends;

any impairment in value of our tangible or intangible assets which could be recorded as a result of weaker economic conditions;

a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate transactions could adversely affect our ability to sell or purchase properties, at attractive pricing or at all;

an inability to initiate or pursue litigation due to various court closures, increased case volume and/or moratoriums on certain types of activities;

the potential negative impact on the health of our employees, particularly if a significant number of them are impacted, could result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during this disruption, or a future disruption, and may negatively impact our disclosure controls and procedures over financial reporting; and

an extended period of remote work arrangements for our employees could strain our business continuity plans and introduce operational risk including, but not limited to, cybersecurity risks.

The overall impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business continues to be uncertain at this time. Many risk factors set forth in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019 should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
