CAUTIONARY NOTE REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). We intend for all such forward-looking statements to be covered by the applicable safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in Section 27A of the Securities Act and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. Forward-looking statements relate to expectations, beliefs, projections, future plans and strategies, anticipated events or trends and similar expressions concerning matters that are not historical facts. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by the use of forward-looking terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” or “potential” or the negative of these words and phrases or similar words or phrases which are predictions of or indicate future events or trends and which do not relate solely to historical matters. You can also identify forward-looking statements by discussions of strategy, plans or intentions.
The forward-looking statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q reflect our current views about future events and are subject to numerous known and unknown risks, uncertainties, assumptions and changes in circumstances that may cause our actual results to differ significantly from those expressed in any forward-looking statement. The following factors, among others, could cause actual results and future events to differ materially from those set forth or contemplated in the forward-looking statements: general economic and financial conditions; market volatility; inflation; any potential recession or threat of recession; interest rates; disruption in the debt and banking markets; tenant, geographic concentration, and the financial condition of our tenants; competition for tenants and competition with sellers of similar properties if we elect to dispose of our properties; our access to, and the availability of capital; whether we will be able to refinance or repay debt; whether work-from-home trends or other factors will impact the attractiveness of industrial and/or office assets; whether we will be successful in renewing leases as they expire; whether we will re-lease available space above or at current market rental rates; future financial and operating results; our ability to manage cash flows; dilution resulting from equity issuances; expected sources of financing, including the ability to maintain the commitments under our revolving credit facility, and the availability and attractiveness of the terms of any such financing; legislative and regulatory changes that could adversely affect our business; cybersecurity incidents or disruptions to our or our third party information technology systems; our ability to maintain our status as a REIT and our Operating Partnership as a partnership for U.S. federal income tax purposes; our future capital expenditures, operating expenses, net income, operating income, cash flow and developments and trends of the real estate industry; whether we will be successful in the pursuit of our business plans, objectives, expectations and intentions, including any acquisitions, investments, or dispositions; whether we will succeed in our investment objectives; any fluctuation and/or volatility of the trading price of our common shares; risks associated with our dependence on key personnel whose continued service is not guaranteed; and other factors, including those risks disclosed in “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K and any subsequent Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q.
While forward-looking statements reflect our good faith beliefs, assumptions and expectations, they are not guarantees of future performance. The forward-looking statements speak only as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. We disclaim any obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statement to reflect changes in underlying assumptions or factors, new information, data or methods, future events or other changes after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, except as required by applicable law. We caution investors not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements, which are based only on information currently available to us.
Notice Regarding Non-GAAP Financial Measures. In addition to U.S. GAAP financial measures, this document contains and may refer to certain non-GAAP financial measures. These non-GAAP financial measures are in addition to, not a substitute for or superior to, measures of financial performance prepared in accordance with GAAP. These non-GAAP financial measures should not be considered replacements for, and should be read together with, the most comparable GAAP financial measures. Reconciliations to the most directly comparable GAAP financial measures and statements of why management believes these measures are useful to investors are included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amounts)
1. Organization
Peakstone Realty Trust (“PKST” or the “Company”) is an internally managed, publicly traded real estate investment trust (“REIT”) that owns and operates a high-quality, newer-vintage portfolio of predominantly single-tenant industrial and office properties located in diverse, strategic markets. These assets are generally leased to creditworthy tenants under long-term net lease agreements with contractual rent escalations. The Company’s fiscal year-end is December 31.
PKST OP, L.P., our operating partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), owns directly and indirectly all of the Company’s assets. As of September 30, 2024, the Company owned approximately 91.9% of the outstanding common units of limited partnership interest in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”).
As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s wholly-owned portfolio comprised 62 properties located in 22 states, which are reported across three segments: Industrial (19 properties), Office (33 properties), and Other (10 properties).
2. Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no significant changes to the Company’s accounting policies since the Company filed its audited financial statements in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. For further information about the Company’s accounting policies, refer to the Company’s filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”).
The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements of the Company are prepared by management on the accrual basis of accounting and in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“GAAP”) for interim financial information as contained in the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), and in conjunction with rules and regulations of the SEC. Certain information and footnote disclosures required for annual financial statements have been condensed or excluded pursuant to SEC rules and regulations. Accordingly, the unaudited consolidated financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The unaudited consolidated financial statements include accounts and related adjustments, which are, in the opinion of management, of a normal recurring nature and necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim period. Operating results for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 31, 2024. These unaudited consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023. In addition, see the risk factors identified in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
The consolidated financial statements of the Company include all accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and its consolidated subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions are shown on the consolidated statements if and to the extent required pursuant to GAAP. Each property-owning entity is a wholly-owned subsidiary which is a special purpose entity (“SPE”).
Segment Information
The Company has three reportable segments: Industrial, Office, and Other. See Note 14, Segment Reporting, for details regarding each of the Company’s segments.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of the unaudited consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the unaudited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could materially differ from those estimates.
PEAKSTONE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2024
(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amounts)
Per Share Data
Basic earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is computed by dividing net (loss) income attributable to common shareholders by the weighted-average number of outstanding common shares plus the potential effect of any dilutive securities (e.g. unvested time-based restricted share units, unvested time-based restricted shares (together, “Unvested Restricted Shares”), OP Units, etc.), using the more dilutive of either the two-class method or the treasury stock method.
For all periods presented, (a) OP Units were excluded from the dilutive earnings per share computation because they were not dilutive, and (b) using the treasury stock method, the Unvested Restricted Shares (in the amounts set forth below) were excluded from dilutive earnings per share because the inclusion would have been anti-dilutive.
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| Three Months Ended September 30, | | Nine Months Ended September 30, |
| 2024 | | 2023 | | 2024 | | 2023 |
Unvested Restricted Shares | 257,064 | | | 416,446 | | | 462,136 | | | 257,066 | |
Unvested, time-based restricted share units that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends are participating securities and are included in the computation of earnings per share pursuant to either the two-class method or treasury stock method, as applicable.
Restricted Cash
Restricted cash is presented on the consolidated balance sheet and consists primarily of reserves that the Company assumed or funded as required by the applicable governing documents with certain lenders in conjunction with debt financing or transactions. The table below summarizes the Company’s restricted cash:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| Balance as of |
| September 30, 2024 | | December 31, 2023 |
Cash reserves | $ | 23,354 | | | $ | 7,200 | |
Restricted lockbox | 1,827 | | | 2,008 | |
| | | |
Total restricted cash | $ | 25,181 | | | $ | 9,208 | |
Change in Consolidated Financial Statements Presentation
Certain amounts in the prior period consolidated financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the current period presentation.
Income Taxes
The Company has elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Internal Revenue Code (“Code”). To qualify as a REIT, the Company must meet certain organizational and operational requirements. The Company intends to adhere to these requirements and maintain its REIT status for the current year and subsequent years. As a REIT, the Company generally will not be subject to federal income taxes on taxable income that is distributed to shareholders. However, the Company may be subject to certain state and local taxes on its income and property, and federal income and excise taxes on its undistributed taxable income, if any. If the Company fails to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, the Company will then be subject to federal income taxes on the taxable income at regular corporate rates and will not be permitted to qualify for treatment as a REIT for federal income tax purposes for four years following the year during which qualification is lost unless the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) grants the Company relief under certain statutory provisions. Such an event could materially adversely affect net income and net cash available to pay dividends to shareholders. As of September 30, 2024, the Company satisfied the REIT requirements.
PEAKSTONE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2024
(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amounts)
Pursuant to the Code, the Company has elected to treat its corporate subsidiary as a taxable REIT subsidiary (a “TRS”). In general, the TRS may perform non-customary services for the Company’s tenants and may engage in any real estate or non-real estate-related business. The TRS will be subject to corporate federal and state income tax.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
Changes to GAAP are established by the FASB in the form of an Accounting Standards Update (“ASUs”) to the FASB’s Accounting Standards Codification. The Company considers the applicability and impact of all ASUs. Other than the ASUs discussed below, the FASB has not recently issued any other ASUs that the Company expects to be applicable and have a material impact on the Company's financial statements.
On November 27, 2023, the FASB issued an ASU to require the disclosure of segment expenses if they are (i) significant to the segment, (ii) regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker (“CODM”), and (iii) included in each reported measure of a segment’s profit or loss. Public entities will be required to provide this disclosure quarterly. In addition, this ASU requires an annual disclosure of the CODM’s title and a description of how the CODM uses the segment’s profit/loss measure to assess segment performance and to allocate resources. Compliance with these and certain other disclosure requirements will be required for the Company’s annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024, and for subsequent quarterly and annual reports, with early adoption permitted. The Company continues to evaluate the impact of the guidance and expects to adopt this ASU on its annual report on Form 10-K for the year ending December 31, 2024.

On January 31, 2024, the Company sold an Office segment property located in Johnston, Iowa to an affiliate of the existing tenant for $30.0 million. In connection with the sale, the Company issued a one-year $15.0 million promissory note, guaranteed by the tenant, which maintains an investment-grade credit rating. Because the note does not bear interest, we imputed interest at an annual rate of 5.0% and, therefore, recorded a discount of approximately $0.7 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recognized $0.5 million of discount amortization related to the imputed interest, which is presented in “Other income (expenses)” on the consolidated statement of operations. As of September 30, 2024, the balance on the note was approximately $14.8 million, which is presented in “Other assets” on the consolidated balance sheets.
Real Estate Held for Sale
As of September 30, 2024, four Other segment properties met the criteria for classification as held for sale.
The following summary presents the major components of assets and liabilities related to the real estate property held for sale as of September 30, 2024:

Real Estate Impairments
Where indicators of impairment exist, the Company evaluates the recoverability of its real estate assets by comparing the carrying amounts of the assets to the estimated undiscounted cash flows. When the carrying amounts of the real estate assets are not recoverable based on the estimated undiscounted cash flows, the Company calculates an impairment charge in the amount the carrying value exceeds the estimated fair value of the real estate asset as of the measurement date.
PEAKSTONE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2024
(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amounts)
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, the Company recorded a real estate impairment provision of approximately $1.4 million related to one Other segment property, which met the criteria for classification as held for sale. The impairment resulted from the potential sale and estimated selling price of the property, which impacted the recoverability of the asset.
During the three months ended June 30, 2024, the Company recorded a real estate impairment provision of approximately $6.5 million related to one Other segment property. The impairment resulted from the potential sale and estimated selling price of the property, which impacted the recoverability of the asset.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, the Company recorded a real estate impairment provision of approximately $42.9 million related to three Other segment properties. The impairment resulted from changes in the current quarter related to potential sales and estimated selling prices of the properties, which impacted the recoverability of the assets.
Refer to Note 8. Fair Value Measurements for additional details regarding the fair value measurements used in determining the real estate impairments.

4. Investments in Unconsolidated Entities
Office Joint Venture
On August 26, 2022, the Company completed the sale of a majority interest in a 41-property office portfolio (the “Initial JV Office Portfolio”) for a sale price of approximately $1.1 billion. On December 27, 2022, the Company completed a companion sale of a majority interest in a five-property office portfolio (“Companion JV Office Portfolio”, and together with the Initial JV Office Portfolio, the “JV Office Portfolio”) for a sale price of approximately $170.4 million. In connection with the sale of the JV Office Portfolio, the Company, through its subsidiary GRT VAO OP, LLC (“GRT VAO Sub”), invested a combined $184.2 million for an approximately 49% interest in a joint venture (“Galaxy REIT, LLC” or the “Office Joint Venture”), through which it owned indirectly an approximate 49% interest in the JV Office Portfolio.
Following the impairment of the JV Office Portfolio as of September 30, 2023, the Company no longer recorded any equity income or losses related to the Office Joint Venture.
On August 28, 2024, the Company transferred all of its ownership interest in the Office Joint Venture to the other members of the Office Joint Venture (the “Purchasing Members”). As part of the transfer, the Purchasing Members agreed to assume all Shortfall Loans (as defined in the JV office Portfolio’s Limited Liability Company Agreement) previously made between the Company and the Purchasing Member, including all principal and interest accrued, which approximated $6.7 million as of the date of the transfer. The transfer and the assignment of the Shortfall Loans offset our remaining capital account. Additionally, as part of the transfer, the Company and the Purchasing Members agreed that the Company has the opportunity for an earnout in the future (the “Earnout”). Based on the Company’s assessment, there is a minimal likelihood of achieving the Earnout, and as such, the Company concluded that no value would be assigned to the Earnout.
Although the Company no longer holds an interest in the JV Office Portfolio as of September 30, 2024, the Company’s investment in the Office Joint Venture still met the significance criteria in accordance with Rule 10-01(b)(1) of Regulation S-X during the period. As such, the Company presents the summarized interim financial statements of the Office Joint Venture below.

6. Interest Rate Contracts
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
The Company is exposed to certain risks arising from both business operations and economic conditions. The Company manages economic risks, including interest rate, liquidity, and credit risk primarily by managing the amount, sources, and duration of debt funding and the use of derivative financial instruments. Specifically, the Company enters into interest rate hedging instruments (collectively, “Interest Rate Swaps”) to provide greater predictability in interest expense by protecting against potential increases in floating interest rates and allow for more precise budgeting, financial planning and forecasting. Interest Rate Swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a counterparty in exchange for making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. The Company does not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.
Derivative Instruments
As of September 30, 2024, the Company has Interest Rate Swaps in place to hedge the variable cash flows associated with its variable-rate debt (which, as of September 30, 2024, consists of the KeyBank Loans). The Interest Rate Swaps are cross-defaulted to other indebtedness of the Operating Partnership, if that indebtedness exceeds certain thresholds. The change in the fair value of the Interest Rate Swaps designated and qualifying as cash flow hedges is initially recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) and is subsequently reclassified into earnings through interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company's variable-rate debt.
The following table sets forth a summary of the Interest Rate Swaps at September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

8. Fair Value Measurements
The Company is required to disclose fair value information about all financial instruments, for which it is practicable to estimate fair value, whether or not recognized in the consolidated balance sheets. The Company measures and discloses the estimated fair value of financial assets and liabilities utilizing a fair value hierarchy that distinguishes between data obtained from sources independent of the reporting entity and the reporting entity’s own assumptions about market participant assumptions. This hierarchy consists of three broad levels, as follows: (i) quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (“Level 1”); (ii) significant other observable inputs (“Level 2”), which can include quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets, as well as inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, such as interest rates, foreign exchange rates, and yield curves that are observable at commonly quoted intervals; and (iii) significant unobservable inputs (“Level 3”), which are typically based on an entity’s own assumptions, since there is little, if any, related market activity.
In instances in which the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the entire fair value measurement is calculated based on the lowest level of the fair value hierarchy that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company's assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. There were no transfers between the levels in the fair value hierarchy between the periods ending December 31, 2023 and September 30, 2024.
Recurring Measurements
The following table sets forth the assets and liabilities that the Company measures at fair value on a recurring basis by level within the fair value hierarchy as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

Nonrecurring Measurement - Real Estate Impairment
The following table is a summary of the quantitative fair value information for the three impaired real estate assets for the nine months ended September 30, 2024. The Company used estimated selling prices, which the Company considered as a Level 2 measurement within the fair value hierarchy:
PEAKSTONE REALTY TRUST

(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amounts)
| | | | | |
| Range of Inputs |
Unobservable Inputs | Other segment |
Estimated selling price (per square foot) | $46.00 - $188.00 |
Nonrecurring Measurement - Goodwill Impairment
The Company’s goodwill has an indeterminate life and is not amortized. Goodwill is tested for impairment on October 1st of each year for each reporting unit, as applicable, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that goodwill is more likely than not impaired. The Company performs a qualitative assessment to determine whether a potential impairment of goodwill exists prior to quantitatively estimating the fair value of each relevant reporting unit. If an impairment exists, the Company recognizes an impairment of goodwill based on the excess of the reporting unit’s carrying value compared to its fair value, up to the amount of goodwill for that reporting unit.
During the three months ended March 31, 2024, within the Other segment, the Company sold three properties for $49.5 million. As a result of the sales, the Company performed a quantitative assessment to estimate the fair value in the Other reporting unit. Based on the results, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Other reporting unit was less than the carrying amount. Thus, the Company recorded a $4.6 million impairment of the goodwill allocated to the Other reporting unit.
During the three months ended September 30, 2024, within the Other segment, (i) the Company sold three properties for $32.2 million and (ii) recognized impairments on three properties for $42.9 million. As a result of these sales and impairments, the Company performed a quantitative assessment to estimate the fair value in the Other reporting unit. Based on the results, the Company concluded that it was more likely than not that the fair value of the Other reporting unit was greater than the carrying amount. Thus, the Company recorded no impairment of the goodwill allocated to the Other reporting unit.
The following is a summary of the quantitative fair value information used in the goodwill impairment calculation.
The Company estimates the fair value of the real estate in the Other segment by using the discounted cash flow method, which the Company considered as Level 3 measurements within the fair value hierarchy:
| | | | | | | | |
| | Range of Inputs |
Unobservable Inputs | | Reporting Unit: Other |
Market rent per square foot | | $5.00 - $27.50 |
Discount rate | | 7.25% - 15.00% |
Terminal capitalization rate | | 6.25% - 9.50% |

The Company estimated the fair value of the mortgage loans encumbering assets within the Other segment as described in the Financial Instruments Disclosed at Fair Value section below. As part of the nonrecurring fair value measurement of secured debt within the goodwill impairment analysis, the Company determined that current borrowing rates available to the Company for debt instruments with similar terms and maturities ranged from 3.69% to 7.90%. The Company considered these inputs as Level 2 measurements within the fair value hierarchy. For the remaining assets and liabilities included within the goodwill impairment calculation, the Company determined that amounts within the consolidated financial statements approximated fair value.
As of September 30, 2024, the Company’s remaining goodwill balance was $74.1 million, of which $68.4 million was allocated to the Industrial segment and $5.7 million was allocated to the Other segment. Refer to Note 14, Segment Reporting, for allocation of goodwill presented for each segment.
Financial Instruments at Fair Value
Financial instruments as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023 consisted of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable, accrued expenses and other liabilities, and consolidated debt, as defined in Note 5, Debt. With the exception of the secured debt in the table below, the amounts of the financial instruments presented in the consolidated financial statements substantially approximate their fair value as of September 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023.
The fair value of the secured debt in the table below is estimated by discounting each loan’s principal balance over the remaining term of the loan using current borrowing rates available to the Company for debt instruments with similar terms and maturities. The Company determined that the secured debt valuation in its entirety is classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, as the fair value is based on current pricing for debt with similar terms as the in-place debt.

Issuance of Restricted Shares - Long-Term Incentive Plan
On April 5, 2023, the Compensation Committee of the Board approved the Peakstone Realty Trust Second Amended and Restated Employee and Trustee Long-Term Incentive Plan (the “Initial Plan”) which provides for the grant of share-based awards to the Company’s non-employee trustees, full-time employees, executive officers and certain persons who perform bona fide consulting or advisory services for the Company or any affiliate of the Company. At the Company’s annual meeting of shareholders on June 18, 2024, the Company’s shareholders approved a First Amendment to the Initial Plan (as amended, the “Plan”), which increased the aggregate number of common shares of beneficial interest of the Company that may be issued under awards pursuant to the “Plan” by 1,285,700 shares.
Awards granted under the Plan may consist of stock options, restricted share units and restricted shares (together, “Restricted Shares”), share appreciation rights, distribution equivalent rights, profit interests in the Operating Partnership, and other equity-based awards.
The share-based awards are measured at fair value at issuance and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period. The maximum number of shares authorized under the Plan is 2,063,478 shares. As of September 30, 2024, 892,788 common shares remained for issuance pursuant to awards granted under the Plan.
As of September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023, there was $8.5 million and $11.0 million, respectively, of unrecognized compensation expense remaining, which vests between three months and approximately 2.3 years.
Total compensation expense related to Restricted Shares for the three months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was approximately $2.0 million and $2.4 million, respectively. Total compensation expense for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 was approximately $5.8 million and $9.0 million, respectively.
The following table summarizes the activity of unvested Restricted Shares for the periods presented:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
| | Number of Unvested Restricted Shares | | Weighted-Average Grant Date Fair Value per Share |
Balance at December 31, 2022 | | 161,501 | | | |

(1) Total shares vested include 4,875 common shares that were withheld (i.e., forfeited) by employees during the nine months ended September 30, 2024 to satisfy minimum statutory tax withholding requirements associated with the vesting of Restricted Shares.
10. Noncontrolling Interests
Noncontrolling interests are OP Units owned by previously affiliated and unaffiliated third parties (the “limited partners”).
As of September 30, 2024, the limited partners of the Operating Partnership owned approximately 3.22 million OP Units consisting of approximately (i) 3.2 million OP Units, which were issued to previously affiliated parties and unaffiliated third parties in exchange for the contribution of certain properties to the Company and in connection with the Self-Administration Transaction (as defined in below), and (ii) 0.02 million OP Units, which were issued to unaffiliated third parties unrelated to property contributions.
As of September 30, 2024, assuming all OP Units held by the limited partners were converted to common shares, noncontrolling interests would constitute approximately 8.1% of total shares outstanding and 8.1% of weighted-average shares outstanding.
PEAKSTONE REALTY TRUST
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
September 30, 2024
(Unaudited; dollars in thousands unless otherwise noted and excluding per share amounts)
All limited partners of the Operating Partnership have the right (the “Exchange Right”) to redeem their OP Units, pursuant to the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership and applicable contribution agreement, at an exchange price equal to the value of an equivalent number of common shares (“Share Value”). The Operating Partnership is obligated to satisfy the Exchange Right for cash equal to the Share Value unless the Company, as the general partner of the Operating Partnership, in its sole and absolute discretion, elects to directly (i) purchase the OP units for cash equal to the Share Value or (ii) purchase the limited partner’s OP Units by issuing common shares of the Company for the OP Units, subject to certain transfer and ownership limitations included in the Company’s charter and the limited partnership agreement of the Operating Partnership.
The following summarizes the activity for noncontrolling interests recorded as equity for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and year ended December 31, 2023:

Redemption of OP units from Self-Administration Transaction
In connection with the transaction that resulted in the internalization of management of Griffin Capital Essential Asset REIT, Inc. (our “Predecessor”) in December 2018 (the “Self-Administration Transaction”), Griffin Capital, LLC (“GC LLC”), an entity controlled by our former Executive Chairman, Kevin A. Shields, and an affiliate of the sponsor of our Predecessor and Griffin Capital Company, LLC (“GCC LLC”), received OP units (approximately 2.7 million taking into effect the 9 to 1 reverse split) as consideration in exchange for the sale to our Predecessor of the advisory, asset management and property management business of Griffin Capital Real Estate Company, LLC (n/k/a PKST Management Company, LLC, the “Management Company”). GC LLC assigned approximately 50% of the OP units received in connection with the Self-Administration Transaction to then participants in GC LLC’s long-term incentive plan. Mr. Shields is the plan administrator of such long-term incentive plan.
As previously disclosed, certain of our current and former employees and executive officers, including Michael Escalante, our Chief Executive Officer, and Javier Bitar, our Chief Financial Officer and Treasurer, were employed by affiliates of GC LLC prior to the Self-Administration Transaction and are therefore participants in a GC LLC ‘s long term incentive plan that made grants to such participants in connection with services rendered prior to the Self-Administration Transaction. Participants in GC LLC’s long-term incentive plan, including Messrs. Escalante and Bitar, are entitled to receive distributions from the long-term incentive plan in the form of either cash, common shares, or other property, or a combination thereof, as elected by the plan administrator.
The Listing required that certain awards under GC LLC’s long-term incentive plan be settled during the fourth quarter 2023 and in four annual installments thereafter, unless waived or modified.
On December 15, 2023, GC LLC settled the first of such installments by electing to redeem 209,954 OP units, and we satisfied such redemption request with our common shares.
If GC LLC elects to redeem additional OP units for further installments, we intend to satisfy such redemption request with our common shares. Any future redemption of OP units and distribution of common shares would have no economically dilutive effect on our common shareholders.

Lessee - Ground Leases
As of September 30, 2024, the Company is the tenant (lessee) under (i) three ground leases classified as operating leases, and (ii) two ground leases classified as financing leases. Each of these ground leases were assigned to the Company as part of its acquisition of the applicable assets and no incremental costs were incurred for such ground leases. These ground leases are classified as non-cancelable and contain no renewal options.
Lessee - Office Leases
As of September 30, 2024, the Company is the tenant (lessee) under the following two office space leases, each of which is classified as a non-cancelable operating lease: (i) the El Segundo Sublease described in Note 11, Related Party Transactions, above, and (ii) a lease for its office space in Chicago, Illinois, which expires on June 29, 2025.
Lessee Summary - Ground Leases and Office Leases
For ground leases and office leases in which the Company is a lessee, the Company incurred costs of approximately $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $2.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023, which are included in “Property Operating Expense” in the accompanying consolidated statement of operations. Total cash paid for amounts included in the measurement of operating lease liabilities was $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and $1.6 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2023.
The following table sets forth the weighted-average for the lease term and the discount rate for the ground leases and office leases in which the Company is a lessee as of September 30, 2024:
| | | | | | | | | | | |
| September 30, 2024 |
Lease Term and Discount Rate | Operating | | Financing |
Weighted-average remaining lease term in years | 75.3 | | 15.6 |
Weighted-average discount rate (1) | 4.97% | | 3.46% |
(1)Because the rate implicit in each of the Company's leases was not readily determinable, the Company used an incremental borrowing rate. In determining the Company's incremental borrowing rate for each lease, the Company considered recent rates on secured borrowings, observable risk-free interest rates and credit spreads correlating to the Company's creditworthiness, the impact of collateralization and the term of each of the Company's lease agreements.

Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become subject to legal and regulatory proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. The Company is not a party to, nor is the Company aware of any material pending legal proceedings nor is property of the Company subject to any material pending legal proceedings.
14. Segment Reporting
The Company reports its results in three reportable segments: Industrial, Office, and Other. The Industrial segment consists of high-quality, well-located industrial properties with modern specifications. The Office segment includes newer, high-quality office properties. The Other segment consists of vacant and non-core properties, together with other properties in the same cross-collateralized loan pools.
The Company evaluates performance of each segment based on segment net operating income (“NOI”), which is defined as property revenue less property expenses. The Company excludes the following from Segment NOI because they are addressed on a corporate level: (i) the Office Joint Venture, (ii) interest expense, and (iii) general and administrative expenses. Segment NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities, is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate segment profit measures in the same manner. The Company considers segment NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations of our properties.
The following table presents segment NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and September 30, 2023 is as follows:

Leasing Information
As of September 30, 2024, we estimate that the current average market rental rates for all leases in our Industrial segment that are scheduled to expire within the next four years are approximately 15% to 20% greater than the weighted average in-place cash rental rates. In addition, as of September 30, 2024, we estimate that the current average market rental rates for all leases in our Office and Other segments that are scheduled to expire within the next four years are approximately 2% below to 3% greater than the weighted average in-place cash rental rates.
Our estimates regarding current average market rental rates are based on our internal analysis and/or third-party broker quotes, when available, and there is no assurance that these estimates will prove to be accurate. Market rental rates and the demand for our properties are impacted by general economic conditions, including the pace of economic growth and access to capital in the submarkets in which our properties are located. Therefore, there is no assurance that expiring leases will be renewed or that available space will be re-leased above, below or at current market rental rates.
The following tables set forth certain information regarding leasing activity during the three months ended September 30, 2024:

Results of Operations
Overview
The Company’s long-term objective is to leverage the experience of our team to maximize shareholder value through the ownership and operation of industrial and select office assets located in strategic markets. We are focused on maintaining a strong balance sheet that enables us to execute multi-channel investments across the risk and capital spectrum. It is our intention to continue to maximize our balance sheet flexibility through, among other things, free cash flow generation and the continued execution of our strategic disposition plan. We seek to generate internal and external growth by optimizing the cash flow from our properties and expanding our portfolio by making industrial-focused investments.
Business Environment
The dynamic landscape of the capital markets has caused a shift in the sentiment of real estate investors. The interplay of economic indicators, geopolitical tensions, and monetary policy adjustments has created an environment where caution prevails. Amidst these challenges, real estate investors appear to be cautiously optimistic due to the apparent reversal of interest rate hikes by the Federal Reserve, which could alleviate the availability and cost of financing, potentially revitalizing investor confidence.
Industrial trends including onshoring and nearshoring of manufacturing and warehousing operations, the projected increase in U.S. industrial production, and the continued growth of e-commerce are anticipated to drive sustained demand for industrial real estate in the long run. The slowing pace of construction and increasing resistance from municipalities for new industrial development are limiting industrial supply, which we believe will benefit existing industrial assets over time. Also, while demand has moderated relative to record levels in recent years, it remains relatively steady across most markets and vacancy rates remain low by historic standards.
The office market continues to undergo a period of adaptation driven by evolving workplace preferences. While overall demand for office space nationwide has declined relative to pre-Covid standards, newer and more modern office buildings, with high walk-scores, immediate access to retail amenities and transportation hubs appear to continue to attract and retain tenants and achieve top-of-market rental rates.
For a discussion of material trends and uncertainties that have impacted or may impact the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows, see (i) the discussion above, (ii) the risks highlighted in the “Cautionary Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements” section of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, and (iii) the risks highlighted in the “Risk Factors” section of the Company’s most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.
Segment Information
The Company internally evaluates all of the properties and interests therein as three reportable segments: Industrial, Office and Other. The Company evaluates performance of each segment based on segment net operating income (“NOI”), which is defined as property revenue less property expenses. The Company excludes the following from segment NOI because they are addressed on a corporate level: (i) the Office Joint Venture, (ii) interest expense, and (iii) general administrative expenses. Segment NOI is not a measure of operating income or cash flows from operating activities, is not indicative of cash available to fund cash needs and should not be considered an alternative to cash flows as a measure of liquidity. Not all companies calculate segment profit measures in the same manner. The Company considers segment NOI to be an appropriate supplemental measure to net income because it assists both investors and management in understanding the core operations and valuations of our properties.

Other Income, Net
The decrease in other income, net of $0.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 is primarily due to an increase in interest income earned from money market accounts.
Net loss From Investment in Unconsolidated Entity
Net loss from investment in unconsolidated entity decreased approximately $144.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 as compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 due to the complete write-off of the Company’s investment in the Office Joint Venture as of September 30, 2023, in which the Company no longer recorded any equity income or losses. On August 28, 2024, the Company transferred all of its ownership interest and no longer holds any interest in the Office Joint Venture.
Extinguishment of Debt
Extinguishment of debt increased approximately $0.5 million for the three months ended September 30, 2024 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2023 primarily due to the accounting for deferred financing costs attributable to exiting creditors in connection with the Eighth Amendment to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Amendment entered into as of July 25, 2024 (the “Eighth Amendment”).

Critical Accounting Estimates
We have established accounting estimates which conform to GAAP. The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. If our judgment or interpretation of the facts and circumstances relating to the various transactions had been different, it is possible that different estimates would have been applied, thus resulting in a different presentation of the financial statements. Additionally, other companies may use different estimates and assumptions that may impact the comparability of our financial condition and results of operations to those companies.
There have been no significant changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates during the period covered by this report. For a summary of certain of our critical accounting policies and estimates, refer to our filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 and Note 2, Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to the consolidated financial statements under Item 1 of this report on Form 10-Q.
Funds from Operations and Adjusted Funds from Operations
Our reported results are presented in accordance with GAAP. We also disclose Funds from Operations (“FFO”) and Adjusted Funds from Operations (“AFFO”) both of which are non-GAAP financial measures. We believe these two non-GAAP financial measures are useful to investors because they are widely accepted industry measures used by analysts and investors to compare the operating performance of REITs.
We compute FFO in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO is defined as net income or loss computed in accordance with GAAP, excluding extraordinary items, as defined by GAAP, and gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate assets, adding back impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate assets, plus real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and depreciation of non-real estate assets), and after adjustment for unconsolidated partnerships, joint ventures and preferred dividends. Because FFO calculations exclude such items as depreciation and amortization of depreciable real estate assets and gains and losses from sales of depreciable real estate assets (which can vary among owners of identical assets in similar conditions based on historical cost accounting and useful-life estimates), they facilitate comparisons of operating performance between periods and between other REITs. As a result, we believe that the use of FFO, together with the required GAAP presentations, provides a more complete understanding of our performance relative to our competitors and a more informed and appropriate basis on which to make decisions involving operating, financing, and investing activities. It should be noted, however, that other REITs may not define FFO in accordance with the current NAREIT definition or may interpret the current NAREIT definition differently than we do, making comparisons less meaningful.
Additionally, we use AFFO as a non-GAAP financial measure to evaluate our operating performance. AFFO excludes non-routine and certain non-cash items such as revenues in excess of cash received, amortization of share-based compensation net, deferred rent, amortization of in-place lease valuation, acquisition or investment-related costs, financed termination fee, net of payments received, gain or loss from the extinguishment of debt, unrealized gains (losses) on derivative instruments, write-off transaction costs and other one-time transactions. We believe that AFFO is a recognized measure of sustainable operating performance by the REIT industry and is useful in comparing the sustainability of our operating performance with the sustainability of the operating performance of other real estate companies. Management believes that AFFO is a beneficial indicator of our ongoing portfolio performance and isolates the financial results of our operations. AFFO, however, is not considered an appropriate measure of historical earnings as it excludes certain significant costs that are otherwise included in reported earnings. Further, since the measure is based on historical financial information, AFFO for the period presented may not be indicative of future results.
By providing FFO and AFFO, we present information that assists investors in aligning their analysis with management’s analysis of long-term operating activities. FFO and AFFO have been revised to include amounts available to both common shareholders and limited partners for all periods presented.
For all of these reasons, we believe the non-GAAP measures of FFO and AFFO, in addition to net income (loss) are helpful supplemental performance measures and useful to investors in evaluating the performance of our real estate portfolio. However, a material limitation associated with FFO and AFFO is that they are not indicative of our cash available to fund the payment of dividends since other uses of cash, such as capital expenditures at our properties and principal payments of debt, are not deducted when calculating FFO and AFFO. The use of AFFO as a measure of long-term operating performance on value is also limited if we do not continue to operate under our current business plan. FFO and AFFO should not be viewed as a more prominent measure of performance than net income (loss) and each should be reviewed in connection with GAAP measurements.
Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any other applicable regulatory body has opined on the acceptability of the adjustments contemplated to adjust FFO in order to calculate AFFO and its use as a non-GAAP performance measure. In the future, NAREIT may decide to standardize the allowable exclusions across the REIT industry, and we may have to adjust the calculation and characterization of this non-GAAP measure.
Our calculation of FFO and AFFO is presented in the following table for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands, except per share amounts):

NOI and Cash NOI
Net operating income (“NOI”) is a non-GAAP financial measure calculated as net (loss) income, the most directly comparable financial measure calculated and presented in accordance with GAAP, excluding general and administrative expenses, interest expense, depreciation and amortization, impairment of real estate, impairment of goodwill, gains or losses on early extinguishment of debt, gains or losses on sales of real estate, investment income or loss, termination income and equity in earnings of any unconsolidated real estate joint ventures. NOI on a cash basis (“Cash NOI”) is NOI adjusted to exclude the effect of straight-line rent and amortization of acquired above- and below-market lease intangibles adjustments required by GAAP. We believe that NOI and Cash NOI are helpful to investors as additional measures of operating performance because we believe they help both investors and management to understand the core operations of our properties excluding corporate and financing-related costs and non-cash depreciation and amortization. NOI and Cash NOI are unlevered operating performance metrics of our properties and allow for a useful comparison of the operating performance of individual assets or groups of assets. These measures thereby provide an operating perspective not immediately apparent from GAAP income from operations or net income. In addition, NOI and Cash NOI are considered by many in the real estate industry to be useful starting points for determining the value of a real estate asset or group of assets.
Because NOI and Cash NOI exclude depreciation and amortization and capture neither the changes in the value of our properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and capitalized leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of NOI and Cash NOI as measures of our performance is limited. Therefore, NOI and Cash NOI should not be considered as alternatives to net income (loss), as computed in accordance with GAAP. NOI and Cash NOI may not be comparable to similarly titled measures of other companies.
Our calculation of each of NOI and Cash NOI is presented in the following table for three and nine months ended September 30, 2024 and 2023 (dollars in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We believe that cash flow generated from our properties, including proceeds from dispositions, will continue to enable us to fund our normal operating expenses, regular debt service obligations, capital expenditures, possible acquisitions of, or investments in, assets, and all dividends and distribution requirements in accordance with applicable REIT requirements in both the short-term and long-term. Furthermore, we expect that cash on hand, borrowings from our Revolving Credit Facility, proceeds from mortgage financing and other debt, proceeds from the sale of properties, and issuances of equity will provide other potential sources of capital. To the extent we are not able to secure other potential sources of capital, we will be heavily dependent upon income from operations and our current financing.
Sources of Liquidity
Cash Resources
As of September 30, 2024, we had approximately $241.6 million of cash and cash equivalents on hand. Our principal source of liquidity is cash flow generated from our properties, which we expect to be adequate to fund our liquidity needs. However, a number of factors could have an adverse impact, including decreases in occupancy levels and rental rates, the ability and willingness of our tenants to pay rent, the timing and success of our investment activities, and general financial and economic conditions.
Credit Facility
As of September 30, 2024, pursuant to the Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement with KeyBank National Association, as administrative agent, and a syndicate of lenders, the Operating Partnership, as the borrower, has been provided with a $1.3 billion credit facility consisting of (i) a $547.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility (the “Revolving Credit Facility”), under which the Operating Partnership has drawn $390.0 million (the “Revolving Loan”), (ii) a $210.0 million senior unsecured term loan maturing in December 2028 (the “2028 Term Loan”), and (iii) a $150.0 million senior unsecured term loan maturing in April 2026 (the “2026 Term Loan” and together with the Revolving Loan and the 2025 Term Loan, the “KeyBank Loans”). The Second Amended and Restated Credit Agreement also provides the option, subject to obtaining additional commitments from lenders and certain other customary conditions, to increase the commitments under the Revolving Credit Facility, to increase the existing term loans and/or incur new term loans by up to an additional $393.0 million in the aggregate. As of September 30, 2024, the available undrawn capacity under the Revolving Credit Facility was $157.0 million.
ATM Program
In August 2023, we entered into an at-the-market equity offering (the “ATM”) pursuant to which we may sell common shares up to an aggregate purchase price of $200.0 million. We may sell such shares in amounts and at times to be determined by us from time to time, but we have no obligation to sell any of the shares. Actual sales, if any, will depend on a variety of factors to be determined by us from time to time, including, among other things, market conditions, the trading price of our common shares, capital needs, and our determinations of the appropriate sources of funding. As of September 30, 2024, we have not sold any shares under the ATM program.
Other Potential Sources of Capital
Other potential sources of capital include proceeds from private or public offerings of our common shares or OP Units, proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, including debt assumed in a real estate transaction, and entering into joint venture arrangements to invest in assets. If necessary, we may use other sources of capital in the event of unforeseen expenditures.
Uses of Liquidity
Contractual Obligations
Our material cash requirements as of September 30, 2024 included the following contractual obligations:
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |
Debt and Ground Lease Obligations | Total Payments | | Remaining 2024 | | Thereafter |
Outstanding debt obligations (1) | $ | 1,183,018 | | | $ | 1,257 | | | $ | 1,181,761 | |
Interest on outstanding debt obligations (2) | 252,920 | | | 18,919 | | | 234,001 | |
Ground lease obligations | 261,803 | | | 981 | | | 260,822 | |
Total | $ | 1,697,741 | | | $ | 21,157 | | | $ | 1,676,584 | |
(1)Amounts only include principal payments. The payments on our mortgage debt do not include the premium/discount or debt financing costs.
(2)Projected interest payments are based on the outstanding principal amounts at September 30, 2024. Projected interest payments on our KeyBank Loans are based on the contractual interest rates in effect at September 30, 2024.
Additionally, as of September 30, 2024, the Company had an aggregate remaining contractual commitment for capital expenditures, leasing commissions and tenant improvements of approximately $8.3 million.
Dividends and Distributions
Dividends will be authorized at the discretion of our Board and be paid to our shareholders and holders of OP Units as of the record date selected by our Board. We expect to pay dividends on a quarterly basis unless our results of operations, our general financial condition, general economic conditions, or other factors inhibit us from doing so. During the three months ended September 30, 2024, our Board declared an all-cash dividend in the amount of $0.225 per common share and an all-cash distribution in the amount of $0.225 per OP Unit.
Additionally, to qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements on a continuing basis, including the requirement that we annually distribute at least 90% of our REIT taxable income, determined without regard to the dividends paid deduction and excluding net capital gain, to our shareholders. As a result of this requirement, we cannot rely on retained earnings to fund our business needs to the same extent as other entities that are not REITs. If we do not have sufficient funds available to us from our operations to fund our business needs, we will need to find alternative ways to fund those needs. As of September 30, 2024, the Company satisfied the REIT requirements and distributed all of its taxable income.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
The primary market risk to which we believe we may be exposed is interest rate risk, including the risk of changes in the underlying rates on our variable rate debt, which may result from factors that are beyond our control. Our current indebtedness consists of the KeyBank Loans and other loans and property secured mortgages as described in Note 5. Debt, to our consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. These instruments were not entered into for trading or speculative purposes.
We may enter into interest rate hedging instruments (collectively, “Interest Rate Swaps”) to provide greater predictability in interest expense by protecting against potential increases in floating interest rates and allow for more precise budgeting, financial planning and forecasting. We will not enter into these instruments for trading or speculative purposes. The use of these types of instruments to hedge a portion of our exposure to changes in interest rates carries additional risks, such as counterparty credit risk and the legal enforceability of hedging contracts.
Changes in interest rates have different impacts on the fixed and variable rate debt. A change in interest rates on fixed rate debt impacts its fair value but has no effect on interest incurred or cash flows. A change in interest rates on variable rate debt could affect the interest incurred and cash flows and its fair value. Our future earnings and fair values relating to variable rate debt are primarily dependent upon prevalent market rates of interest, such as SOFR. However, our Interest Rate Swaps are intended to reduce the effects of interest rate changes.
As of September 30, 2024, our debt, excluding unamortized deferred financing cost and discounts/premiums, consisted of approximately $1.2 billion in fixed rate debt (including the effect of interest rate swaps) and no variable debt. As such, there would be no impact to future earnings and cash flows if SOFR were to change.
Interest rate risk amounts were determined by considering the impact of hypothetical interest rates on our financial instruments. These analyses do not consider the effect of any change in overall economic activity that could occur, which may result in us taking actions to further mitigate our exposure to the change. However, due to the uncertainty of the specific actions that would be taken and their possible effects, these analyses assume no changes in our financial structure.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”)). Based upon, and as of the date of the evaluation, our chief executive officer (our principal executive officer) and chief financial officer (our principal financial officer) concluded that the disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that information required to be disclosed in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported when required. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file and submit under the Exchange Act 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 Control Over Financial Reporting
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting. There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended September 30, 2024 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
None.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
With the exception of the risk factors set forth below, which update and supplement the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023.
Risks Related to Our Business
Most of our properties are occupied by a single tenant; therefore, for each such property income generated by that property is dependent on the financial stability of a single tenant and/or its parent companies and guarantors, as applicable. Many events affecting our tenants could have a material adverse effect on us including, the bankruptcy, insolvency, or a general downturn in the business of, or a lease termination or election by a tenant not to renew, or other events affecting our tenants, could have a material adverse effect on us.
Our properties are primarily leased to single tenants or will derive a majority of their rental income from single tenants and, therefore, the income generated by these properties is materially dependent on the financial stability of our tenants and/or their parent companies and guarantors, as applicable. Our revenues depend on the financial condition of our tenants and/or their parents companies and guarantors, as applicable. Any event of bankruptcy, insolvency, or a general downturn in the business of any of our tenants and/or their parent companies and guarantors, as applicable, a default by a tenant, the failure of a guarantor to fulfill its obligations, a premature termination of a lease, or a tenant’s election not to extend a lease upon its expiration, could have a material adverse effect on us. Additionally, in certain instances, we may enter into leases that do not include a credit party guaranty or we may not be able to verify the credit quality of our tenants and/or their parents and guarantors, as applicable, prior to leasing our properties to such tenants. As a result, we may be exposed to a greater risk from such leases. Moreover, we can provide no assurance that our strategy of owning and operating industrial and office properties that are primarily leased to single tenants will be successful or that we will attain our investment and portfolio management objectives. Furthermore, although we have no current intention to do so, we may also invest in single-tenant, leased industrial and office properties outside of the United States and we can provide no assurance that we will have success in any such investments. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on us.
We actively monitor the creditworthiness of each tenant and/or its parent companies and guarantors, as applicable, to identify any material changes in quality and circumstances that could negatively impact the tenant’s ability to satisfy its lease obligations. Our monitoring efforts include a routine review of the credit ratings of each tenant and/or its parent companies and guarantors, as applicable, that are available through public databases published by various rating agencies. When such credit ratings are not available, we utilize Bloomberg, a third-party database, to assess the implied credit ratings of each tenant and/or its parent companies and guarantors, as applicable. We also use our own internal processes for monitoring and identifying changes in potential tenant credit risk, which include a routine review of the financial statements (when available) of each tenant and/or its parent companies and guarantors, as applicable, insurance certificates and other documentation required by each lease, public disclosures and market information (e.g., SEC filings, press releases and investor calls) of each tenant and/or its parent companies and guarantors, as applicable, and general market intelligence involving micro-economic and macro-economic conditions that may impact the tenant and/or its parent companies and guarantors, as applicable. Notwithstanding our efforts, we may not be able to effectively monitor the credit quality, or identify material changes in the credit quality, of its tenant and/or its parent companies and guarantors, as applicable.
We face significant competition for tenants, which may decrease or prevent increases of the occupancy and rental rates of our properties. Furthermore, at the time we elect to dispose of our properties, we will also be in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for our properties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on us.
The commercial real estate markets in which we operate are highly competitive. The leasing of real estate is also often highly competitive, and we may experience competition for tenants from owners and managers of competing properties. An oversupply of properties in the industries and geographies in which we concentrate could further increase competition. As a result, we may have to reduce our rental rates or to offer more substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights, below-market renewal options or other lease incentive payments or we might not be able to timely lease the space. If our competitors offer space at rental rates below current market rates or below the rental rates we currently charge our tenants, we may lose existing or potential tenants and we may be pressured to reduce our rental rates or to offer more substantial rent abatements, tenant improvements, early termination rights, below-market renewal options or other lease incentives in order to retain tenants when our leases expire. Competition for companies that may lease or guarantee our properties could decrease or prevent increases of the occupancy and rental rates of our properties.
As of September 30, 2024, we had seven leases with unexercised early termination provisions, representing approximately $9.7 million of Annualized Base Rent (or 5% of our total Annualized Base Rent) and approximately 766,900 square feet (or 5% of our total square footage). As of September 30, 2024, we did not have any leases with exercised early termination provisions.
The exercise of an early termination provision typically requires advance notification from the tenant (usually 12 months) and is frequently accompanied by the payment of a termination fee that reimburses us for a portion of the remaining rent under the original lease term. Termination fee income, included in rental income, is recognized on a straight-line basis from the date of the executed termination agreement through the revised lease expiration date when the amount of the fee is determinable and collectability of the fee is probable. This fee income is adjusted on a straight-line basis by any deferred rent related to the lease. We may re-lease the vacated space or sell the associated property after the exercise of an early termination provision. However, may experience delays and incur substantial costs in re-letting the space or experience a decrease in value of a property if the Company determines to sell such property while it is partially or completely vacant. There is no assurance that the Company will be able to lease the property for the rent previously received or sell the property without incurring a loss due to it being partially or completely vacant. Over the past two years, only one tenant exercised its early termination right with respect to a portion of its leased space, reducing its total leased square footage by 111,300 square feet.
Furthermore, at the time we elect to dispose of our properties, we will also be in competition with sellers of similar properties to locate suitable purchasers for our properties. The occurrence of any of the foregoing could have a material adverse effect on us.
We may be unable to renew expiring leases, or re-lease available space, above or at current market rental rates.
Market rental rates and the demand for our properties are impacted by general economic conditions, including the pace of economic growth and access to capital in the submarkets in which our properties are located. Therefore, there is no assurance that expiring leases will be renewed or that available space will be re-leased above, below or at current market rental rates.
