1. Organization and Description of Business

STAG Industrial, Inc. (the “Company”) is an industrial real estate operating company focused on the acquisition and operation of single-tenant, industrial properties throughout the United States. The Company was formed as a Maryland corporation and has elected to be treated and intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, commonly called an UPREIT, and owns substantially all of its assets and conducts substantially all of its business through its operating partnership, STAG Industrial Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company owned a 97.8% and 97.5%98.0%, respectively, common equity interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As used herein, the “Company” refers to STAG Industrial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries and partnerships, including the Operating Partnership, except where context otherwise requires.

As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company owned 462494 buildings in 3839 states with approximately 92.399.1 million rentable square feet, consisting of 384414 warehouse/distribution buildings, 7072 light manufacturing buildings, and 8 flex/office buildings.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Currently, one of the most significant risks and uncertainties facing the Company and the real estate industry generally is the potential adverse effect of the ongoing public health crisis of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic.

The Company closely monitors the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how the pandemic will affect its tenants and business partners. While theThe Company did not incur significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020, a number ofMarch 31, 2021. In addition, the Company’s tenants requested rent deferral or rent abatement as a result of the pandemic and other tenants may make requests in the future. The Company entereddid 0t enter into a limited number ofany rent deferral agreements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, which resulted in the recognition of approximately $0.4 million and $1.9 million of rent deferrals during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.March 31, 2021. The Company evaluateswill continue to evaluate tenant rent relief requests on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests will ultimately result in modified agreements, nor is the Company foregoing its contractual rights under its lease agreements.

The Company remains unable to predict the ultimate impact that the pandemic will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects the Company’s operations and those of its tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.

Table of Contents
Basis of Presentation

The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and their subsidiaries. Interests in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company are referred to as “Noncontrolling Common Units.” These Noncontrolling Common Units are held by other limited partners in the form of common units (“Other Common Units”) and long term incentive plan units (“LTIP units”) issued pursuant to the STAG Industrial, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2011 Plan”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of entities. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis for all periods presented.

New Accounting Standards

In March 2020, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 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 quarter 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. We have not modified any contracts to date, however, we will evaluate any debt, derivative and lease contracts that are modified in the future to ensure they are eligible for modification relief and apply the practical expedients as needed.

The applicable fair value guidance establishes a three tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value of the Company’s debt is based on Level 3 inputs.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate swaps are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. 

For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedges will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company’s variable rate debt. The Company estimates that approximately $16.6$15.4 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive loss as an increase to interest expense over the next 12 months.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features

The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company’s default on the indebtedness.

As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the Company had not breached the provisions of these agreements and had not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreement of the interest rate swaps in a net liability position by counterparty plus accrued interest for approximately $46.9$29.2 million.

Fair Value of Interest Rate Swaps

The Company’s valuation of the interest rate swaps is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs including interest rate curves.

The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.

Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 and December 31, 2019,2020, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Certain Definitions

In this report:

We define “GAAP” as generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

We define “total annualized base rental revenue” as the contractual monthly base rent as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 (which differs from rent calculated in accordance with GAAP) multiplied by 12. If a tenant is in a free rent period as of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the total annualized base rental revenue is calculated based on the first contractual monthly base rent amount multiplied by 12.

We define “occupancy rate” as the percentage of total leasable square footage for which either revenue recognition has commenced in accordance with GAAP or the lease term has commenced as of the close of the reporting period, whichever occurs earlier.

We define the “Value Add Portfolio” as properties that meet any of the following criteria: (i) less than 75% occupied as of the acquisition date; (ii) will be less than 75% occupied due to known move-outs within two years of the acquisition date; (iii) out of service with significant physical renovation of the asset; or (iv) development.

We define “Stabilization” for properties under development or being redeveloped as the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or 12 months after completion. With respect to properties acquired and immediately added to the Value Add Portfolio, (i) if acquired with less than 75% occupancy as of the acquisition date, Stabilization will occur upon the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or 12 months from the acquisition date; or (ii) if acquired and will be less than 75% occupied due to known move-outs within two years of the acquisition date, Stabilization will occur upon the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy after the known move-outs have occurred or 12 months after the known move-outs have occurred.
2726

Table of Contents

We define the “Operating Portfolio” as all warehouse and light manufacturing assets that were acquired stabilized or have achieved Stabilization. The Operating Portfolio excludes non-core flex/office assets, assets contained in the Value Add Portfolio, and assets classified as held for sale.

We define a “Comparable Lease” as a lease in the same space with a similar lease structure as compared to the previous in-place lease, excluding new leases for space that was not occupied under our ownership.

We define “SL Rent Change” as the percentage change in the average monthly base rent over the term of the lease that commenced during the period compared to the Comparable Lease for assets included in the Operating Portfolio. Rent under gross or similar type leases are converted to a net rent based on an estimate of the applicable recoverable expenses, and this calculation excludes the impact of any holdover rent.

We define “Cash Rent Change” as the percentage change in the base rent of the lease commenced during the period compared to the base rent of the Comparable Lease for assets included in the Operating Portfolio. The calculation compares the first base rent payment due after the lease commencement date compared to the base rent of the last monthly payment due prior to the termination of the lease, excluding holdover rent. Rent under gross or similar type leases are converted to a net rent based on an estimate of the applicable recoverable expenses.

We define “New Lease” as any lease that is signed for an initial term equal to or greater than 12 months for any vacant space, including a lease signed by a new tenant or an existing tenant that is expanding into new (additional) space.

We define “Renewal Lease” as a lease signed by an existing tenant to extend the term for 12 months or more, including (i) a renewal of the same space as the current lease at lease expiration, (ii) a renewal of only a portion of the current space at lease expiration, or (iii) an early renewal or workout, which ultimately does extend the original term for 12 months or more.

Overview

We are a REIT focused on the acquisition, ownership, and operation of single-tenant, industrial properties throughout the United States. We are a Maryland corporation and our common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “STAG.”

We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and generally are not subject to federal income tax to the extent we currently distribute our income to our stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We remain subject to state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.

Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations

Our ability to increase revenues or cash flow will depend in part on our (i) external growth, specifically acquisition activity, and (ii) internal growth, specifically occupancy and rental rates on our portfolio. A variety of other factors, including those noted below, also affect our future results of operations.

COVID-19 Pandemic

Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely harmed global economic activity and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the pandemic continues to evolve and many countries, including the United States, continue to react by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry, including the real estate industry and the industries of our tenants, directly or indirectly. The rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact the pandemic may have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

While weWe did not incur significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020, a number of our tenants requested rent deferral or rent abatement as a result of the pandemic. We enteredMarch 31, 2021. In addition, we did not enter into a limited number ofany rent deferral agreements during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, which resulted in approximately $0.4 million and $1.9 million of rent deferrals during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, respectively.March 31, 2021. We will continue to evaluate tenant rent relief requests on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests will ultimately result in modified agreements, nor are we foregoing our contractual rights under our lease agreements.

The COVID-19 pandemic or a future pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of infectious disease affecting states or regions in which we or our tenants operate could have material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors: health or other government authorities requiring the closure of offices or other businesses or instituting quarantines of personnel as the result of, or in order to avoid, exposure to a contagious disease; disruption in supply and delivery chains; a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate; reduced economic activity, general economic decline or recession, which may impact our tenants’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of lease obligations; difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions, which may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis; and the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of our employees are impacted, which would result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.

The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic or any other pandemic, epidemic or disease impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic (or a future pandemic, epidemic or disease) presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.

Outlook

Our business is affected by the uncertainty regarding the current COVID-19 pandemic, the effectiveness of policies introduced to neutralize the disease, and the impact of those policies on economic activity. In June 2020, the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the United States entered into a recession in February 2020. In the third quarter,More recent economic measurements suggestshow that the U.S. economy may be starting to recover.is recovering. The ultimate shape of the recovery will depend on many factors, including the length and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. While there has been a negative impact to our tenants, we believe we will continue to benefit from having a well-diversified portfolio across industry, market,various markets, tenant industries, and lease term.terms. Additionally, we strongly believe that the current economic environmentCOVID-19 pandemic is likely to curb new industrial supply in the near term and to accelerateaccelerating a number of trends that positively impact industrial demand.

TheOver the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. federal and state governments, as well as the Federal Reserve, responded to the profoundly uncertain economic outlook with a series of policies to ease the economic burden of COVID-19 closures on businesses and individuals. TheIn March 2021, the latest major U.S. congressional policy action known as the Coronavirus, Aid, Relief and Economic Security Act, or the CARES Act,American Rescue Plan, allocated $2$1.9 trillion in federal aid to specific industries, small businessesfocused on individuals and individuals.state and local governments. The Federal Reserve also took major actions including the completion ofcontinues to be accommodative since it completed two emergency federal funds rate cuts in March 2020 to a range between 0% to 0.25%, adding liquidity to. Additionally, since entering office in January 2021, the bond market, establishing new lending facilities,Biden administration and expanding its bond buying program to include mortgage backed securities, investment grade corporate debt,health organizations are heavily focused on curbing the spread of COVID-19 through vaccinations and high yield corporate ETFs. While wehave made progress toward reaching a large portion of the population. We expect supportive fiscal and monetary policy to continue the timing and the magnitude of further fiscal support will be likely driven by the outcome of the 2020 elections.as needed.

TheWe believe that the current economic circumstances,environment, while challenging,volatile, will provide us with an opportunity to demonstrate the diversification of our portfolio. Specifically, we believe our existing portfolio should benefit from competitive rental rates and strong occupancy. Furthermore,In addition to our diversified portfolio, we believe that certain characteristics of our business and capital structure should position us well in an uncertain environment, including the fact that we have a highly diversified portfolio, minimal floating rate debt exposure (taking into account our hedging activities), and strong liquidity strongand access to capital, and that many of our competitors for the assets we purchase tend to be smaller local and regional investors who are likely to be more heavily impacted by interest rates and availability of capital.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, we expect acceleration in a number of industrial specific trends to support stronger long-term demand, including:

the rise of e-commerce (as compared to the traditional retail store distribution model) and the concomitant demand by e-commerce industry participants for well-located, functional distribution space;
the increasing attractiveness of the United States as a manufacturing and distribution location because of the size of the U.S. consumer market, an increase in overseas labor costs, a desire for greater supply chain resilience and redundancy and the overall cost of supplying and shipping goods (i.e. the shortening and fattening of the supply chain); and
the overall quality of the transportation infrastructure in the United States.

Our portfolio continues to benefit from historically low availability throughout the national industrial market. We expect a near-term reduction in national industrial demand, in the aggregate, brought on by the pandemic. CertainThe COVID-19 pandemic has caused both positive and negative impacts at varying levels across different industries and geographies are expected to be more heavily impacted. However,geographies.

We believe that the diversification of our portfolio by market, tenant industry, and tenant credit will prove to be a strength in this environment. Industrial development continues to be concentrated in the larger primary markets, butand after a brief deceleration it is likelyhas returned to decelerate in the near-term.pre-COVID-19 pandemic levels. We have limited exposure to many of the most active development markets. We will continue to monitor the supply and demand fundamentals for industrial real estate and assess its impact on our business.

Conditions in Our Markets

The buildings in our portfolio are located in markets throughout the United States. Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions, new supply, adverse weather conditions, natural disasters, epidemics, and other factors in these markets may affect our overall performance.

Rental Income

We receive income primarily in the form of rental income from the tenants who occupy our buildings. The amount of rental income generated by the buildings in our portfolio depends principally on occupancy and rental rates. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, our Operating Portfolio was approximately 96.9%97.2% leased and our SL Rent Change on New Leases and Renewal Leases in our Operating Portfolio together grew approximately 4.7% and 7.4%18.7% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, respectively. Our Cash Rent Change on New Leases and Renewal Leases in our Operating Portfolio together grew approximately 1.3% and 1.7%9.6% during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our submarkets that impair our ability to renew or re-lease space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, including those brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our buildings. Our ability to lease our properties and the attendant rental rate is dependent upon, among other things, (i) the overall economy, (ii) the supply/demand dynamic in our markets, (iii) the quality of our properties, including age, clear height, and configuration, and (iv) our tenants’ ability to meet their contractual obligations to us.

Property Operating Expenses

Our property operating expenses generally consist of utilities, real estate taxes, management fees, insurance, and site repair and maintenance costs. For the majority of our tenants, our property operating expenses are controlled, in part, by the triple net provisions in tenant leases. In our triple net leases, the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the building and its operation during the lease term, including utilities, taxes, insurance and maintenance costs, but typically excluding roof and building structure. However, we also have modified gross leases and gross leases in our building portfolio. The terms of those leases vary and on some occasions we may absorb certain building related expenses of our tenants. In our modified gross leases, we are responsible for some building related expenses during the lease term, but the cost of most of the expenses is passed through to the tenant for reimbursement to us. In our gross leases, we are responsible for all costs related to the building and its operation during the lease term. Our overall performance will be affected by the extent to which we are able to pass-through property operating expenses to our tenants.

Our ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases will impact our results of operations and is affected by economic and competitive conditions in our markets and by the desirability of our individual buildings. Leases that comprise approximately 9.3%9.1% of our annualized base rental revenue will expire during the period from OctoberApril 1, 20202021 to September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, excluding month-to-month leases. We assume, based upon internal renewal probability estimates that some of our tenants will renew and others will vacate and the associated space will be re-let subject to downtime assumptions. Using the aforementioned assumptions, we expect that the rental rates on the respective new leases will generally be the same as the rates under existing leases expiring during the period OctoberApril 1, 20202021 to September 30, 2021,March 31, 2022, thereby resulting in approximately the same revenue from the same space.

Critical Accounting Policies

See “Critical Accounting Policies” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019,2020, for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

Incentive and Equity-Based Employee Compensation Plans

On January 7, 2021, we adopted the STAG Industrial, Inc. Employee Retirement Vesting Program (the “Vesting Program”) to provide supplemental retirement benefits for eligible employees. For those employees who are retirement eligible or will become retirement eligible during the applicable vesting period under the terms of the Vesting Program, we accelerate equity-based compensation through the employee’s six-month retirement notification period or retirement eligibility date, respectively. The adoption of the Vesting Program resulted in an increase to general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to the acceleration of equity-based compensation expense for certain eligible employees. We estimate that the adoption of the Vesting Program will result in an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.4 million for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Results of Operations

The following discussion of our results of our same store (as defined below) net operating income (“NOI”) should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements. For a detailed discussion of NOI, including the reasons management believes NOI is useful to investors, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Same store results are considered to be useful to investors in evaluating our performance because they provide information relating to changes in building-level operating performance without taking into account the effects of acquisitions or dispositions. We encourage the reader to not only look at our same store results, but also our total portfolio results, due to historic and future growth.

Net Income

Net income for our total portfolio increaseddecreased by $13.0$39.7 million, or 116.3%61.0%, to $24.2$25.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, compared to $11.2$65.0 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

Same Store Total Operating Revenue

Same store total operating revenue consists primarily of rental income consisting of (i) fixed lease payments, variable lease payments, straight-line rental income, and above and below market lease amortization from our properties (“lease income”), and (ii) other tenant billings for insurance, real estate taxes and certain other expenses (“other billings”).

For a detailed reconciliation of our same store total operating revenue to net income, see the table above.

Same store rental income, which is comprised of lease income and other billings as discussed below, increased by $0.3$2.8 million, or 0.4%2.5%, to $90.0$112.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 compared to $89.7$110.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020.

Same store lease income decreasedincreased by $1.0 million, or 1.2%1.1%, to $75.6$94.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 compared to $76.6$93.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2019.March 31, 2020. The decreaseincrease is partially attributableprimarily due to an increase in rental income of approximately $2.4 million due to the execution of new leases and lease renewals with existing tenants, as well as a net decrease in the amortization of net above market leases of approximately $0.2 million. These increases were partially offset by a net reduction of rental income of approximately $1.7$0.6 million for certain leasesat properties in which we determined that the future collectability was not reasonably assured, and accordingly, we converted to the cash basis of accounting and reversed any accounts receivable and accrued rent balances into rental income and did not recognize revenue for payments that were not received from the tenants. The decrease was also attributable to the reduction of base rent of approximately $1.5 million from tenant vacancies and downsizing, as well as a net increase in the amortization of net above market leases of approximately $0.4 million. These decreases were partially offset by an increase in rental income of approximately $2.6$1.0 million due to the execution of new leases and lease renewals with existing tenants.tenant vacancy.

The increase was attributable to an increase of approximately $0.5$0.9 million related to other expense reimbursements due to new leases andan increase in corresponding expenses. Additionally, there was an increase in real estate taxes levied by the taxing authority and changes to lease terms where we began paying the real estate taxes on behalf of tenants that had previously paid its taxes and operating expenses directly to respective vendors of approximately $0.3of approximately $0.8 million.

Net Income

Net income for our total portfolio increased by $75.8 million, or 231.5%, to $108.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $32.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Same Store Total Operating Revenue

Same store total operating revenue consists primarily of rental income consisting of (i) fixed lease payments, variable lease payments, straight-line rental income, and above and below market lease amortization from our properties (“lease income”), and (ii) other tenant billings for insurance, real estate taxes and certain othermodification expenses (“other billings”).

For a detailed reconciliation of our same store total operating revenue to net income, see the table above.

Same store rental income, which is comprised of lease income and other billings as discussed below, increased by $1.6 million, or 0.6%, to $270.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $268.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019.

Same store lease income increased by $0.5 million, or 0.2%, to $228.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $228.1 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. Approximately $7.2 million of the increase was attributable to rental increases due to the execution of new leases and lease renewals with existing tenants. This increase was partially offset by a reduction of rental income of approximately $3.4 million for certain leases in which we determined that the future collectability was not reasonably assured, and accordingly, we converted to the cash basis of accounting and reversed any accounts receivable and accrued rent balances into rental income and did not recognize revenue for payments that were not received from the tenants. Rental income also decreased due to the reduction of base rent of approximately $2.9 million from tenant vacancies and downsizing, as well as a net decrease in the amortization of net above market leases of approximately $0.4 million.

Same store other billings increased by $0.6 million, or 1.6%, to $41.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $40.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. The increase was primarily attributable to an increase in operating expense and insurance expense reimbursements of approximately $0.6 million due to new leases.

Same Store Operating Expenses

Same store operating expenses consist primarily of property operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance.

For a detailed reconciliation of our same store operating expenses to net income, see the table above.

Total same store operating expenses increased by $0.2 million or 0.4% to $48.0 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $47.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase was primarily related to an increase in real estate taxes levied by the taxing authority of approximately $1.1 million, as well as an increase in repairs and maintenance expense and insurance expense of approximately $0.3 million and $0.1 million, respectively. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in snow removal expense and utilities expense of approximately $1.0 million and $0.3 million, respectively.

Acquisitionsand DispositionsNet Operating Income

For a detailed reconciliation of our acquisitions and dispositions NOIamendment to net income, see the table above.

Subsequent to December 31, 2018, we acquired 80 buildings consisting of approximately 17.2 million square feet (excluding five buildings that were included in the Value Add Portfolio at September 30, 2020 or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2018), and sold 14 buildings and two land parcels consisting of approximately 3.3 million square feet. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the buildings acquired after December 31, 2018 contributed approximately $62.7 million and $13.4 million to NOI, respectively. For the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, the buildings sold after December 31, 2018 contributed approximately $0.4 million and $3.1 million to NOI, respectively. Refer to Note 3 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding buildings acquired or sold.

Other Net Operating Income

Our other assets include our flex/office buildings, Value Add Portfolio, and Operating Portfolio buildings with expansions placed in service or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2018. Other NOI also includes termination, solar, and other income adjustments from buildings in our same store portfolio.

For a detailed reconciliation of our other NOI to net income, see the table above.

At September 30, 2020, we owned eight flex/office buildings consisting of approximately 0.4 million square feet, two buildings in our Value Add Portfolio consisting of approximately 0.3 million square feet, and five buildings consisting of approximately 1.4 million square feet that were Operating Portfolio buildings with expansions placed in service or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2018. These buildings contributed approximately $4.2 million and $2.3 million to NOI for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively. Additionally, there was $0.4 million and $0.1 million of termination, solar, and other income adjustments from certain buildings in our same store portfolio for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 and September 30, 2019, respectively.

Total Other Expenses

Total other expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, loss on impairments, and other expenses.

Total other expenses increased $22.6 million, or 13.2%, to $194.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $171.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This is primarily a result of an increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $26.4 million as a result of net acquisitions that increased the depreciable asset base, as well as an increase of approximately $2.6 million in general and administrative expense primarily due to increases in compensation and other payroll costs. These increases were partially offset by a reduction in loss on impairments of approximately $6.6 million as discussed in Note 3 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements.

Total Other Income (Expense)

Total other income (expense) consists of interest and other income, interest expense, loss on extinguishment of debt, gain on involuntary conversion, and gain on the sales of rental property, net. Interest expense includes interest incurred during the period as well as adjustments related to amortization of financing fees and debt issuance costs, and amortization of fair market value adjustments associated with the assumption of debt.

Total other income (expense) increased $48.3 million, or 134.8%, to a total net other income of $12.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to $35.8 million total net other expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2019. This increase is primarily the result of an increase in gain on the sales of rental property, net of approximately $53.6 million and a gain on involuntary conversion of approximately $2.2 million related to an eminent domain taking of a portion of a parcel of land that occurred during the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Additionally, there was an increase of approximately $0.4 million in interest and other income due to an increased cash and cash equivalents balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2019. These increases were partially offset by an increase in interest expense of approximately $7.0 million which was primarily attributable to the funding of unsecured term loans on March 25, 2020, December 18, 2019, and July 25, 2019. Additionally, we recognized a loss on extinguishment of debt of approximately $0.8 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2020 that was primarily related to the refinance of the Unsecured Term Loan B and the Unsecured Term Loan CG entered into on April 17, 2020,February 5, 2021, as discussed in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. Additionally, interest expense increased approximately $0.5 million, which was primarily attributable to the funding of the Unsecured Term Loan F on March 25, 2020.

Non-GAAP Financial Measures

In this report, we disclose funds from operations (“FFO”) and NOI, which meet the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” as set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As a result, we are required to include in this report a statement of why management believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors.

Table of Contents
Funds From Operations

FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance further, FFO should be compared with our reported net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements included in this report.

37

Table of Contents
We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO represents GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating buildings, land sales, impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and fair market value of debt adjustment) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.

Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs. FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.

However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our buildings that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our buildings, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.

Net Operating Income

We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure to net income (loss) because we believe it helps investors and management understand the core operations of our buildings. NOI is defined as rental income, which includes billings for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, less property expenses and real estate taxes and insurance. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes expenses which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI.

The increase was primarily attributable to incremental operating cash flows from property acquisitions completed after September 30, 2019,March 31, 2020, and operating performance at existing properties. These increases were partially offset by the loss of cash flows from property dispositions completed after September 30, 2019March 31, 2020 and fluctuations in working capital due to timing of payments and rental receipts.

the Unsecured Term Loan F of $100.0 million did not recur during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. These decreases were partially offset by a net cash inflow of approximately $47.0 million from our unsecured credit facility.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We believe that our liquidity needs will be satisfied through cash flows generated by operations, disposition proceeds, and financing activities. Operating cash flow is primarily rental income, expense recoveries from tenants, and other income from operations and is our principal source of funds that we use to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures and the distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification. We look to the capital markets (common equity, preferred equity, and debt) to primarily fund our acquisition activity. We seek to increase cash flows from our properties by maintaining quality standards for our buildings that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. We believe that our revenue, together with proceeds from building sales and debt and equity financings, will continue to provide funds for our short-term and medium-term liquidity needs.

Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our buildings, including interest expense, interest rate swap payments, scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, funding of property acquisitions under contract, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures for tenant improvements and leasing commissions.

Our long-term liquidity needs, in addition to recurring short-term liquidity needs as discussed above, consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, non-recurring capital expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities. We intend to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, the issuance of equity or debt securities, other borrowings, property dispositions, or, in connection with acquisitions of certain additional buildings, the issuance of common units in the Operating Partnership.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have worked to ensure that we maintain adequate liquidity. On April 17, 2020February 5, 2021 we refinanced the Unsecured Term Loan BCredit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loan C,G, as discussed in “Indebtedness Outstanding” below. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had total immediate liquidity of approximately $567.1$533.0 million, comprised of $70.1$18.6 million of cash and cash equivalents and $497.0$514.4 million of immediate availability on our unsecured credit facility. When incorporating the remaining undrawn balance available on our unsecured credit facility and the approximately $132.5$137.3 million of forward equity proceeds available to us at our option through January 13,November 16, 2021, our total liquidity as of September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 was approximately $699.6$670.3 million, with a material amount of that liquidity comprised of cash and cash equivalents.

In addition, we require funds for future dividends to be paid to our common and preferred stockholders and unit holders in the Operating Partnership. These distributions on our common stock are voluntary (at the discretion of our board of directors), to the extent we have satisfied distribution requirements in order to maintain our REIT status for federal income tax purposes, and may be reduced or stopped if needed to fund other liquidity requirements or for other reasons. The following table summarizes the dividends attributable to our outstanding common stock that had a record date during the ninethree months ended September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021.

Our unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, unsecured notes, and mortgage notes are subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial and other covenants. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we were in compliance with the applicable financial covenants.

On April 17, 2020,February 25, 2021, we assumed a mortgage note with United of Omaha Life Insurance Company of approximately $5.1 million in connection with the acquisition of the property located in Long Island, NY, which serves as collateral for the debt. The debt matures on October 1, 2039 and bears interest at 3.71% per annum. The assumed debt was recorded at fair value and a fair value discount of approximately $0.2 million was recorded. The fair value of debt was determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate of approximately 4.10% at which loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for loans with similar remaining maturities, terms, and loan-to-value ratios. The fair value of the debt is based on Level 3 inputs and is a nonrecurring fair value measurement.

On February 5, 2021, we entered into an amendment to the $300.0 million Unsecured Term Loan G with Wells Fargo, National Association, as administrative agent on behalf ofunsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility Amendment”).

Thethe Unsecured Term Loan G matures on April 16, 2021, subject(the “Amendment to two one-year extension options at our discretion, and subjectUnsecured Term Loan G”). The Amendment to certain conditions (other than lender discretion) such as the absence of default and the payment of an extension fee. We intend to exercise both extension options. To exercise the extension options we are required pay a fee equal to (i) 0.15% of the outstanding amount on the effective day of the first extension period and (ii) 0.20% of the outstanding amount on the effective day of the second extension period.

Noncontrolling Interest

We own our interests in all of our properties and conduct substantially all of our business through the Operating Partnership. We are the sole member of the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we owned approximately 97.8% of the Operating Partnership, and our current and former executive officers, directors, senior employees and their affiliates, and third parties who contributed properties to us in exchange for common units in our Operating Partnership, owned the remaining 2.2%.

Interest Rate Risk

We use interest rate swaps to fix the rate of our variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate swaps through maturity.

We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), which is a component of equity. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value and the changes in fair value must be reflected as income or expense.

We have established criteria for suitable counterparties in relation to various specific types of risk. We only use counterparties that have a credit rating of no lower than investment grade at swap inception from Moody’s Investor Services, Standard & Poor’s, or Fitch Ratings or other nationally recognized rating agencies.

The swaps outlined in the above table were all designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, and all are valued as Level 2 financial instruments. Level 2 financial instruments are defined as significant other observable inputs. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, the fair value of allthree of our 24interest rate swaps were in a asset position of approximately $3.6 million, including any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements. The remaining 21 interest rate swaps were in a liability position of approximately $45.8$32.1 million, including any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements.

As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had $975.0$1,208.0 million of variable rate debt. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate swaps through maturity. To the extent interest rates increase, interest costs on our floating rate debt not fixed with interest rate swaps will increase, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our security holders. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including swaps, caps and floors. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.

Off-balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had letters of credit related to development projects and certain other agreements of approximately $3.0$2.6 million. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had no other material off-balance sheet arrangements.

Item 3.  Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. The primary market risk we are exposed to is interest rate risk.  We have used derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings, primarily through interest rate swaps.

As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, we had $975.0$1,208.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding. As of September 30, 2020,March 31, 2021, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility which had a balance of zero,$233.0 million, was fixed with interest rate swaps through maturity. To the extent we undertake additional variable rate indebtedness, if interest rates increase,

then so will the interest costs on our unhedged variable rate debt, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to

Table of Contents
pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our security holders. Further, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance existing debt when it matures or significantly increase our future interest expense. From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including swaps, caps and floors. While these agreements are intended to lessen the impact of rising interest rates on us, they also expose us to the risk that the other parties to the agreements will not perform, we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements, the agreements will be unenforceable and the underlying transactions will fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under GAAP. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. If interest rates increased by 100 basispoints and assuming we had an outstanding balance of $233.0 million on our unsecured credit facility for the year ended March 31, 2021, our interest expense would have increased by approximately $0.6 million for the year ended March 31, 2021.

Item 4.  Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we have evaluated, under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of September 30, 2020.March 31, 2021. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures for the periods covered by this report were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by our Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Controls

There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended September 30, 2020March 31, 2021 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. Other Information

Item 1.  Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations if determined adversely to our company.

Item 1A.  Risk Factors
Other than the following, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20192020 filed with the SEC on February 12, 2020.10, 2021.

The COVID-19 pandemicWe may be adversely affected by developments in the LIBOR market or any future pandemic, epidemic or outbreakthe use of infectious disease could have material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows and the markets and communities in which we and our tenants operate.alternative reference rates.

The COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted global economic activity and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impactAs of March 31, 2021, approximately 65.7% or $1,208.0 million of our outstanding debt was indexed to LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the outbreak continues to rapidly evolve and many countries, including the United States, have reacted by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impacting almost every industry directly or indirectly. Additionally, in June, the National Bureau of Economic ResearchFinancial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that U.S. dollar LIBOR will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the United States entered into a recession in February 2020. The rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic precludes any prediction asspread that may be used to automatically convert contracts from LIBOR to the ultimate adverse impact of COVID-19.Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Additionally, banking regulators are encouraging banks to discontinue new LIBOR debt issuances by December 31, 2021. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that date. For example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator, LIBOR may become unavailable and the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.

Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR or the transition from LIBOR to a successor benchmark may result in, among other things, (i) a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, (ii) a delay in the publication of LIBOR, (iii) higher interest obligations arising from such successor benchmark, (iv) changes in the rules or methodologies for determining LIBOR in the overall debt capital markets, which may discourage market participants from continuing to administer or to participate in variable rate debt tied to LIBOR or such successor benchmark, (v) the introduction of financial products and changes in market practices, which may lead to risk modeling and valuation challenges, such as adjusting interest rate accrual calculations and building a term structure for an alternative rate, (vi) additional basis risk and increased volatility as alternative rates are phased in and utilized in parallel with LIBOR, and (vii) adjustments to systems and mathematical models to properly process and account for alternative rates, which may strain the model risk management and information technology functions and result in substantial incremental costs. If LIBOR as determined in accordance with the terms of our particular debt is no longer available, whether before or after June 30, 2023, the interest rates on such debt would be determined using various alternative methods, any of which may result in interest obligations which are more than or do not otherwise correlate over time with the payments that would have been made on such debt if LIBOR was available in its current form.

We are monitoring and evaluating the risks related to our debt indexed to LIBOR, which include interest on loans or amounts received and paid on derivative instruments. These risks arise in connection with transitioning contracts to an alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur, and are likely to vary by contract. The COVID-19 pandemicvalue of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR, as well as interest rates on our current or future indebtedness, may also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative reference rate may be challenging, especially if we cannot agree with the respective counterparty about how to make the transition.

As a result, there can be no assurance that any future pandemic, epidemicof the aforementioned developments or outbreakchanges will not result in financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark interest rates, substantially higher financing costs or a shortage of infectious disease affecting states or regions inavailable debt financing, any of which we or our tenants operate could have material andan adverse effectseffect on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors:us.

health or other government authorities requiring the closure of offices or other businesses or instituting quarantines of personnel as the result of, or in order to avoid, exposure to a contagious disease;
disruption in supply and delivery chains;
a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate;
the repurposing or redevelopment of retail properties made defunct by the pandemic into industrial properties;
reduced economic activity, general economic decline or recession, which may impact our tenants’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of lease obligations;
difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions, which may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis; and
the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of our employees are impacted, which would result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.

The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic or a similar health epidemic is highly uncertain and subject to change. We do not yet know the full extent of potential impacts on our business and operations, our tenant’s business and operations or the global economy as a whole. While the spread of COVID-19 may eventually be contained or mitigated, there is no guarantee that a future outbreak or any other widespread epidemics will not occur, or that the global economy will recover, either of which could materially harm our business.

The rapid development and fluidity of this situation precludes any prediction as to the full adverse impact of the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our financial condition, results of operations, cash flows and performance. Moreover, many risk factors set forth in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2019, filed with the SEC on February 12, 2020, should be interpreted as heightened risks as a result of the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.
