EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2015 of DCT Industrial Trust Inc., a Maryland corporation, and DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership. Except as otherwise indicated herein, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to DCT Industrial Trust Inc. and its subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP. When we use the term “DCT” or “DCT Industrial,” we are referring to DCT Industrial Trust Inc. by itself, and not including any of its subsidiaries, and when we use the term the “Operating Partnership,” we are referring to DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP by itself, and not including any of its subsidiaries.

We are a leading industrial real estate company specializing in the acquisition, development, leasing and management of bulk distribution and light industrial properties located in high-volume distribution markets in the United States. DCT has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT under which substantially all of our current and future business is, and will be, conducted through a majority owned and controlled subsidiary, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership, for which DCT is the sole general partner. We own our properties through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2015, DCT owned approximately 95.4% of the outstanding equity interests in the Operating Partnership.

We operate DCT and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of DCT consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, DCT consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. DCT does not have significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of DCT and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

We believe combining the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q of DCT and the Operating Partnership into this single report results in the following benefits:

● enhances investors’ understanding of DCT and the Operating Partnership by enabling investors to view the business as a whole in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

● eliminates duplicative disclosures and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation as a substantial portion of the Company’s disclosures apply to both DCT and the Operating Partnership; and

● creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports.

We believe it is important to understand the few differences between DCT and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate as an interrelated consolidated company. DCT’s only material asset is its ownership of partnership interests in the Operating Partnership. As a result, DCT does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and issuing public equity. DCT itself has not issued any debt, but guarantees the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the business and conducts the operations of the business. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by DCT, which are contributed to the Operating Partnership, the Operating Partnership generates capital through its operations, its borrowings and the issuance of partnership units to third parties.

Stockholders’ equity, partners’ capital and noncontrolling interests are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of DCT and those of the Operating Partnership. Equity interests in the Operating Partnership held by entities other than DCT are classified within partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in DCT’s financial statements. Equity interests of 4.6% of the Operating Partnership were owned by executives and non-affiliated limited partners as of September 30, 2015.

To help investors understand the differences between DCT and the Operating Partnership, this report provides separate consolidated financial statements for DCT and the Operating Partnership; a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity’s stockholders’ equity or partners’ capital, as applicable; and a combined Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes distinct information related to each entity.

This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4. Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibits 31 and 32 certifications for DCT and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that DCT and the Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 or Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

DCT INDUSTRIAL TRUST INC. AND SUBSIDIARIES

DCT INDUSTRIAL OPERATING PARTERNSHIP LP AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

Note 1 – Organization

DCT Industrial Trust Inc. is a leading industrial real estate company specializing in the acquisition, development, leasing and management of bulk distribution and light industrial properties located in high-volume distribution markets in the United States (“U.S.”). As used herein, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to DCT Industrial Trust Inc. and its subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP. When we use the term “DCT” or “DCT Industrial," we are referring to DCT Industrial Trust Inc. by itself, and not including any of its subsidiaries, and when we use the term the “Operating Partnership,” we are referring to DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP by itself, and not including any of its subsidiaries.

DCT was formed as a Maryland corporation in April 2002 and has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT under which substantially all of our current and future business is, and will be, conducted through a majority owned and controlled subsidiary, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership, for which DCT is the sole general partner. DCT owns properties through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2015, DCT owned approximately 95.4% of the outstanding equity interests in the Operating Partnership.

On November 17, 2014, we completed a one-for-four reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock and a corresponding reverse split of the partnership interests of the Operating Partnership.  The number of authorized shares and the par value of the common stock were not changed.  All common stock/unit and per share/unit data for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been restated to give effect to the reverse stock split.

In May 2015, we determined that we had been the victim of a criminal fraud involving the impersonation of our Chief Executive Officer resulting in our transfer of $6.1 million to third-party overseas accounts. As a result of efforts working with our bank and federal law enforcement authorities, we have recovered approximately $3.0 million of the amount transferred.  In addition, we have incurred $0.3 million of other costs related to the investigation of this incident.  We have filed a claim with our insurance carriers related to this incident.  As of September 30, 2015, it is not known whether we will be determined to be entitled to receive insurance proceeds related to this claim.  Accordingly, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded an expense of $3.4 million in “General and administrative” expense related to this incident and the associated internal investigation, which expense may be reduced in the future by any insurance claim recoveries.  

As of September 30, 2015, the Company owned interests in approximately 73.3 million square feet of properties leased to approximately 900 customers, including:

● 62.0 million square feet comprising 405 consolidated operating properties, including one 33,000 square foot building classified as held for sale, were 94.5% occupied;

● 7.5 million square feet comprising 23 unconsolidated properties were 92.9% occupied and which we operated on behalf of three institutional capital management partners; 

● 0.8 million square feet comprising four consolidated properties under redevelopment; and

● 3.0 million square feet comprising eight consolidated buildings in development.

In addition, the Company has 11 projects under construction and several projects in predevelopment.  See Note 3 – Investment in Properties for further details.

Note 2 – Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Interim Financial Information

The accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with U.S. Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair presentation in conformity with GAAP. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The information included in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with our audited Consolidated Financial Statements as of December 31, 2014 and related notes thereto included in our Form 10-K filed on February 20, 2015.

13

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements include the financial position, results of operations and cash flows of the Company, the Operating Partnership, their wholly-owned qualified REIT subsidiaries and taxable REIT subsidiaries, and their consolidated joint ventures in which they have a controlling interest.

Equity interests in the Operating Partnership held by entities other than DCT are classified within partners’ capital in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements and as noncontrolling interests in DCT’s financial statements. Equity interests in entities consolidated into the Operating Partnership that are held by third parties are reflected in our accompanying balance sheets as noncontrolling interests in consolidated entities. We also have noncontrolling partnership interests in unconsolidated institutional capital management and other joint ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

We hold interests in both consolidated and unconsolidated joint ventures. All joint ventures over which we have financial and operating control, and variable interest entities (“VIEs”) in which we have determined that we are the primary beneficiary, are included in the Consolidated Financial Statements. We use the equity method of accounting for joint ventures over which we do not have a controlling interest or where we do not exercise significant control over major operating and management decisions but where we exercise significant influence and include our share of earnings or losses of these joint ventures in our consolidated results of operations.

We analyze our joint ventures in accordance with GAAP to determine whether they are VIEs and, if so, whether we are the primary beneficiary. Our judgment with respect to our level of influence or control over an entity and whether we are the primary beneficiary of a VIE involves consideration of various factors including the form of our ownership interest, our representation on the entity’s board of directors, the size of our investment (including loans) and our ability to participate in major decisions. Our ability to correctly assess our influence or control over an entity affects the presentation of these investments in the Consolidated Financial Statements and, consequently, our financial position and results of operations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the Consolidated Financial Statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Revenue Recognition

We record rental revenues on a straight-line basis under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Certain properties have leases that provide for tenant occupancy during periods where no rent is due or where minimum rent payments change during the term of the lease. Accordingly, we record receivables from tenants that we expect to collect over the remaining lease term rather than currently, which are recorded as a straight-line rent receivable. When we acquire a property, the terms of existing leases are considered to commence as of the acquisition date for the purposes of this calculation. The total increase to “Rental revenues” due to straight-line rent adjustments was approximately $0.9 million and $4.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and approximately $2.3 million and $7.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Tenant recovery income includes payments and amounts due from tenants pursuant to their leases for real estate taxes, insurance and other recoverable property operating expenses and is recognized as “Rental revenues” during the same period the related expenses are incurred. Tenant recovery income recognized as “Rental revenues” was approximately $20.6 million and $62.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and approximately $19.4 million and $58.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

We maintain an allowance for estimated losses that may result from the inability of our tenants to make required payments. If a tenant fails to make contractual payments beyond any allowance, we may recognize additional bad debt expense in future periods equal to the net outstanding balances.

In connection with property acquisitions qualifying as business combinations, we may acquire leases with rental rates above or below the market rental rates. Such differences are recorded as an intangible lease asset or liability and amortized to “Rental revenues” over the reasonably assured term of the related leases. We consider a reasonably assured term to be the measurement period equal to the remainingnon-cancelable term of the lease for above-market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below-market fixed rate renewal options for below-market leases.  The unamortized balances of these assets and liabilities associated with the early termination of leases are fully amortized to their respective revenue line items in our Consolidated Statements of Operations on a

14

straight-line basis over the estimated remaining contractual lease term. The total net impact to “Rental revenues” due to the amortization of above and below market rents was an increase of approximately $0.8 million and $2.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and approximately $0.6 million and $1.5 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

Early lease termination fees are recorded in “Rental revenues” on a straight-line basis over the estimated remaining contractual lease term or upon collection if collectability is not assured. The total net impact to “Rental revenues” due to early lease termination fees was approximately $1.2 million and $2.4 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, respectively, and approximately $0.3 million and $1.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2014, respectively.

We earn revenues from asset management fees, acquisition fees, property management fees and fees for other services pursuant to joint venture and other agreements. These are included in our Consolidated Statements of Operations in “Institutional capital management and other fees.” We recognize revenues from asset management fees, acquisition fees, property management fees and fees for other services when the related fees are earned and are realized or realizable.

We develop certain properties for specific buyers, called build-to-suit projects. We make certain judgments based on the specific terms of each project as to the amount and timing of recognition of profits from the project. Projects are generally accounted for using the percentage of completion method or full accrual method. Profits under the percentage of completion method are based on our estimates of the percentage of completion of individual contracts, commencing when the work performed under the contracts reaches a point where the final costs can be estimated with reasonable accuracy. The percentage of completion estimates are based on a comparison of the contract expenditures incurred to the estimated final costs. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to the costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined. If the sale recognition criteria for using the percentage of completion or full accrual methods are not met, we apply another recognition method provided by GAAP, such as the installment or cost recovery methods. The profit recognized from these projects is reported net of estimated taxes, when applicable, and is included in “Development profit, net of taxes” in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.

New Accounting Standards

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standards update (“ASU”) that requires companies to recognize revenue from contracts with customers based upon the transfer of goods or services to customers in amounts that reflect the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The new standard also results in enhanced disclosures about revenue, provides guidance for transactions that were not previously addressed comprehensively and improves guidance for multiple-element arrangements. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact this guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In February 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs, eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership and affects the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs, particularly those that have fee arrangements and related party relationships. The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is in the process of evaluating the potential impact this guidance will have on our Consolidated Financial Statements.

In April 2015, the FASB issued an ASU that requires debt issuance costs related to a recognized liability to be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of the debt liability.  In August 2015, the FASB issued an ASU which clarified that debt issuance costs related to line-of-credit arrangements can be presented as an asset and amortized over the term of the line-of-credit arrangement regardless of whether there are any outstanding borrowings on the line-of-credit arrangement.  The guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted.  The Company does not expect the ASU to have a material effect on the Company’s results of operations, however, it will impact Consolidated Balance Sheet presentation and Consolidated Financial Statement disclosures related to the Company’s debt issuance costs.

Note 5 – Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximated their carrying values due to the short-term nature of settlement of these instruments. The fair values of other financial instruments subject to fair value disclosures were determined based on available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate estimates for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates. Our estimates may differ from the actual amounts that we could realize upon disposition. The following table summarizes these financial instruments (in thousands):

	As of September 30, 2015						As of December 31, 2014
	Carrying			Estimated			Carrying			Estimated
	Amounts			Fair Value			Amounts			Fair Value
Borrowings(1):
Senior unsecured revolving credit facility	$	186,000		$	186,000		$	37,000		$	37,000
Fixed rate debt(2)	$	1,121,945		$	1,197,106		$	1,147,045		$	1,238,671
Variable rate debt	$	225,000		$	223,902		$	225,000		$	226,431
Interest rate contracts:
Interest rate swap liability(3)	$	(311	)	$	(311	)	$	(167	)	$	(167	)

⁽¹⁾ The fair values of our borrowings were estimated using a discounted cash flow methodology. Credit spreads and market interest rates used to determine the fair value of these instruments are based on unobservable Level 3 inputs which management has determined to be its best estimate of current market values.

⁽²⁾ The carrying amount of our fixed rate debt includes premiums and discounts.

⁽³⁾ The fair value of our interest rate swaps is determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash flows and the discounted expected variable cash flows based on an expectation of future interest rates derived from Level 2 observable market interest rate curves. We also incorporate a credit valuation adjustment, which is derived using unobservable Level 3 inputs, to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurement. The asset or liability is included in “Other assets” or “Other liabilities,” respectively, in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table displays a reconciliation of assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis using significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014. The table also displays gains and losses due to changes in fair value, including both realized and unrealized, recognized in the Consolidated Statements of Operations for Level 3 assets and liabilities. When assets and liabilities are transferred between levels, we recognize the transfer at the beginning of the period. There were no transfers between levels during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

	During the
	Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014
Level 3 Assets (Liabilities):
Interest Rate Swaps:
Beginning balance at January 1	$	(167	)	$	212
Net unrealized loss included in accumulated other comprehensive income		(255	)		(351	)
Realized loss recognized in interest expense		111			116
Ending balance at September 30	$	(311	)	$	(23	)

Hedging Activities

To manage interest rate risk for variable rate debt and issuances of fixed rate debt, we primarily use treasury locks and interest rate swaps as part of our cash flow hedging strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. Such derivatives have been used to hedge the variability in existing and future interest expense associated with existing variable rate borrowings and forecasted issuances of debt, which may include the issuances of new debt, as well as refinancing of existing debt upon maturity.

Accounting for changes in the fair value of derivatives depends on the intended use of the derivative and the designation of the derivative, whether we have elected to designate a derivative in a hedging relationship and apply hedge accounting and whether the hedging relationship has satisfied the criteria necessary to apply hedge accounting. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge

18

of the exposure to changes in the fair value of an asset, liability, or firm commitment attributable to a particular risk, such as interest rate risk, are considered fair value hedges. Derivatives designated and qualifying as a hedge of the exposure to variability in expected future cash flows, or other types of forecasted transactions, are considered cash flow hedges. Derivatives may also be designated as hedges of the foreign currency exposure of a net investment in a foreign operation. Hedge accounting generally provides for the matching of the timing of gain or loss recognition on the hedging instrument with the recognition of the changes in the fair value of the hedged asset or liability that are attributable to the hedged risk in a fair value hedge or the earnings effect of the hedged forecasted transactions in a cash flow hedge.

For derivatives designated as “cash flow” hedges, the effective portion of the changes in the fair value of the derivative is initially reported in “Other comprehensive income (“OCI”)” in our Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (i.e., not included in earnings) and subsequently reclassified into earnings when the hedged transaction affects earnings or the hedging relationship is no longer effective at which time the ineffective portion of the derivative’s changes in fair value is recognized directly into earnings. We assess the effectiveness of each hedging relationship whenever financial statements are issued or earnings are reported and at least every three months. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes.

During June 2013, certain of our consolidated ventures entered into two pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of future cash flows attributable to changes in the 1 month LIBOR rates. The pay-fixed, receive-floating swaps have an effective date of June 2013 and a maturity date of June 2023. These interest rates swaps effectively fix the interest rate on the related debt instruments at 4.72%. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had borrowings payable subject to pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps with aggregate principal balances of approximately $6.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

The following table presents the effect of our derivative financial instruments on our accompanying consolidated financial statements for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended September 30,						Nine Months Ended September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Derivatives in Cash Flow Hedging Relationships
Interest Rate Swaps:
Amount of gain (loss) recognized in OCI for    effective portion of derivatives	$	518		$	135		$	(973	)	$	(711	)
Amount of loss reclassified from accumulated OCI    for effective portion of derivatives into interest    expense and equity in earnings of unconsolidated    joint ventures, net	$	(1,155	)	$	(1,163	)	$	(3,466	)	$	(3,491	)

Amounts reported in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” related to derivatives will be amortized to “Interest expense” as interest payments are made on our current debt and anticipated debt issuances. During the next 12 months, we estimate that approximately $4.2 million will be reclassified from “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” to “Interest expense” resulting in an increase in interest expense.

Note 6 – Outstanding Indebtedness

As of September 30, 2015, our outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.5 billion consisted of mortgage notes, senior unsecured notes and bank unsecured credit facilities, excluding approximately $36.7 million representing our proportionate share of debt associated with unconsolidated joint ventures. As of December 31, 2014, our outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.4 billion consisted of mortgage notes, senior unsecured notes and bank unsecured credit facilities, excluding approximately $42.5 million representing our proportionate share of debt associated with unconsolidated joint ventures.

As of September 30, 2015, the gross book value of our consolidated properties was approximately $4.1 billion and the gross book value of all properties securing our mortgage debt was approximately $0.7 billion. As of December 31, 2014, the gross book value of our consolidated properties was approximately $4.0 billion and the gross book value of all properties securing our mortgage debt was approximately $0.6 billion. Our debt has various covenants with which we were in compliance as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Line of Credit

As of September 30, 2015, we had $186.0 million outstanding and $210.5 million available under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, net of one letter of credit totaling $3.5 million.  As of December 31, 2014, we had $37.0 million outstanding and $243.5 million available under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, net of three letters of credit totaling $19.5 million.

19

Debt Assumptions

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we assumed two mortgage notes with aggregate outstanding balances totaling $21.1 million in connection with property acquisitions.  We recorded a $1.9 million premium in connection with the assumption of these notes.

Debt Payoffs and Refinancing

On April 8, 2015, we amended and restated our existing $225.0 million senior unsecured term loan and $300.0 million senior unsecured revolving credit facility with our syndicated bank group.  The senior unsecured term loan was disaggregated into two tranches, $125.0 million and $100.0 million, with maturity dates of April 8, 2020 and April 8, 2017, respectively.  The senior unsecured revolving credit facility’s commitment was increased to $400.0 million with a maturity date of April 8, 2019.  

During June 2015, we paid-off our $40.0 million senior unsecured note maturing in June 2015, using proceeds from the Company’s senior unsecured revolving credit facility and dispositions.

During October 2015, we paid-off a $50.9 million mortgage note maturing February 2016.

Guarantee of Debt

DCT has guaranteed the Operating Partnership’s obligations with respect to the senior unsecured notes and the senior unsecured revolving credit facility.

Note 7 – Noncontrolling Interests

DCT

Noncontrolling interests are the portion of equity, or net assets, in a subsidiary not attributable, directly or indirectly, to a parent. Noncontrolling interests of DCT primarily represent limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and equity interests held by third party partners in consolidated real estate investments, including related parties as discussed in Note 9 – Related Party Transactions.

The following table illustrates the noncontrolling interests’ share of consolidated net income during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2015			2014			2015			2014
Noncontrolling interests’ share of income from    continuing operations	$	(622	)	$	(787	)	$	(6,882	)	$	(1,140	)
Noncontrolling interests’ share of income    from discontinued operations		-			(14	)		-			(281	)
Net income attributable to noncontrolling interests	$	(622	)	$	(801	)	$	(6,882	)	$	(1,421	)

Operating Partnership

Equity interests in the Operating Partnership held by third-parties and LTIP Units, as defined in Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity of DCT and Partners’ Capital of the Operating Partnership, are classified as permanent equity of the Operating Partnership and as noncontrolling interests of DCT in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. 

All income attributable to noncontrolling interest holders for all periods presented in the Operating Partnership’s Consolidated Statements of Operations is income from continuing operations.

Note 8 – Stockholders’ Equity of DCT and Partners’ Capital of the Operating Partnership

On November 17, 2014, we completed a one-for-four reverse stock split of our issued and outstanding common stock and a corresponding reverse split of the partnership interests of the Operating Partnership.  The number of authorized shares and the par value of the common stock were not changed.  All common stock/unit and per share/unit data for all periods presented in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q have been restated to give effect to the reverse stock split.

20

DCT

Common Stock

As of September 30, 2015, approximately 88.2 million shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, we issued approximately 0.1 million shares of common stock in each corresponding period related to vested shares of restricted stock, phantom shares and stock option exercises.

Operating Partnership

OP Units

For each share of common stock issued by DCT, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding OP Unit to DCT in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuances.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, DCT owned approximately 95.4% of the outstanding equity interests in the Operating Partnership. The remaining common partnership interests in the Operating Partnership were owned by executives of the Company and non-affiliated limited partners.

DCT holds its interests through both general and limited partner units. The Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership (the “Partnership Agreement”) stipulates that the general partner shall at all times own a minimum of 1.0% of all outstanding OP Units. As a result, each reporting period certain of DCT’s limited partner units are converted to general partner units to satisfy this requirement as illustrated in the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Capital.

Limited partners have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by the limited partner at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount (as defined in the Partnership Agreement), provided that such OP Units have been outstanding for at least one year. The Company may, in its sole discretion, purchase the OP Units by paying to the limited partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount (generally one share of DCT’s common stock for each OP Unit), as defined in the Partnership Agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately 0.2 million and 0.3 million OP Units were redeemed for approximately $1.7 million and $0.8 million in cash and approximately 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares of DCT common stock, respectively.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were approximately 4.2 million outstanding OP Units in each corresponding period held by entities other than DCT and redeemable, with an aggregate redemption value of approximately $141.8 million and $149.8 million based on the $33.66 and $35.66 per share closing price of DCT’s common stock on September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Equity-Based Compensation

On October 10, 2006, the Company established the Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, to grant restricted stock, stock options and other awards to our personnel and directors, as defined in the plan. Awards granted under this plan are measured at fair value on the grant date and amortized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period during which the awards fully vest. Such expense is included in “General and administrative” expense in our Consolidated Statements of Operations. Options issued under the Long-Term Incentive Plan are valued using the Black-Scholes option pricing model, which relies on assumptions we make related to the expected term of the options, volatility, dividend yield and risk-free interest rate. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we did not grant any stock options.

Restricted Stock

Holders of restricted stock have voting rights and rights to receive dividends. Restricted stock may not be sold, assigned, transferred, pledged or otherwise disposed of and is subject to a risk of forfeiture prior to the expiration of the applicable vesting period. Restricted stock is recorded at fair value on the date of grant and amortized to compensation expense on a straight-line basis over the service period during which term the stock fully vests. Restricted stock generally vests ratably over a period of four or five years, depending on the grant. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we granted approximately 28,000 shares of restricted stock to certain officers and employees at the weighted average fair market value of $37.68 per share.

21

LTIP Units

Pursuant to the Long-Term Incentive Plan, as amended, the Company may grant limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership called LTIP Units. Vested LTIP Units may be redeemed by the Company in cash or DCT common stock, at the discretion of the Company, on a one-for-one basis with common shares, subject to certain restrictions of the Partnership Agreement. LTIP Units receive distributions equally along with common shares. LTIP Units are valued by reference to the value of DCT’s common stock and generally vest ratably over a period of four to five years, depending on the grant. LTIP Unit equity compensation is amortized into expense over the service period during which the units vest.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately 0.2 million LTIP Units were granted to certain senior executives, which vest over a four year period with a total fair value of approximately $7.3 million at the date of grant as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation using a weighted average volatility factor of 26% and a weighted average risk-free interest rate of 1.28%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, approximately 5,000 vested LTIP Units were converted into approximately 5,000  common shares. As of September 30, 2015, approximately 1.1 million LTIP Units were outstanding of which approximately 0.6 million were vested.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 0.2 million LTIP Units were granted to certain senior executives, which vest over a four to five year period with a total fair value of approximately $4.3 million at the date of grant as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation using a volatility factor of 40% and risk-free interest rate of 1.47%. During the nine months ended September 30, 2014, approximately 8,000 vested LTIP Units were converted into approximately 8,000 common shares. As of December 31, 2014, approximately 0.9 million LTIP Units were outstanding of which approximately 0.4 million were vested.

Note 9 – Related Party Transactions

8^th & Vineyard Consolidated Joint Venture

In 2010, we entered into the 8^th & Vineyard joint venture with Iowa Investments, LLC, an entity owned by one of our executives, to purchase 19.3 acres of land held for development in Southern California. Pursuant to the joint venture agreement, we will first receive a return of all capital along with a preferred return. Thereafter, Iowa Investments, LLC will receive a return of all capital along with a promoted interest. The land parcel acquired by 8^th & Vineyard was purchased from an entity in which the same executive had a minority ownership. The total acquisition price of $4.7 million was determined to be at fair value.

As of September 30, 2015, we completed the construction and sale of the five buildings and 0.8 acres of land in the joint venture to third-parties resulting in the disposition of all of the joint venture’s assets.  The joint venture is in the process of winding up activities and liquidating the partnership.  We received a preferred return on our capital contributions of approximately $3.0 million and Iowa Investments, LLC was distributed and allocated approximately $3.7 million of non-controlling interest.

Southern California Consolidated Ventures

We entered into four agreements, two in December 2010 and two in January 2011, whereby we acquired a weighted average ownership interest, based on square feet, of approximately 48.4% in five bulk industrial buildings located in the Southern California market. Entities controlled by one of our executives have a weighted average ownership in these properties of approximately 43.7%, based on square feet, and the remaining 7.9% is held by a third-party. Each venture partner will earn returns in accordance with their ownership interests. We have controlling rights including management of the operations of the properties and we have consolidated the properties in accordance with GAAP. The total acquisition price of $46.3 million was determined to be at fair value.

22

Note 10 – Earnings per Share/Unit

We use the two-class method of computing earnings per common share/unit which is an earnings allocation formula that determines earnings per share/unit for common stock/unit and any participating securities according to dividends declared (whether paid or unpaid) and participation rights in undistributed earnings. Under the two-class method, earnings per common share/unit are computed by dividing the sum of distributed earnings to common stockholders/OP Unitholders and undistributed earnings allocated to common stockholders/OP Unitholders by the weighted average number of common shares/units outstanding for the period.

A participating security is defined by GAAP as an unvested share-based payment award containing non-forfeitable rights to dividends and must be included in the computation of earnings per share/unit pursuant to the two-class method. Nonvested restricted stock and LTIP Units are considered participating securities as these share-based awards contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends irrespective of whether the awards ultimately vest or expire.

Potentially Dilutive Shares

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, DCT excluded from diluted earnings per share the weighted average common share equivalents related to 4.2 million and 4.3 million OP Units, respectively, because their effect would be anti-dilutive. During the same periods ended September 30, 2014, DCT excluded from diluted earnings per share the weighted average common share equivalents related to 4.3 million and 4.4 million OP Units, respectively, because their effect would be anti-dilutive.

Note 11 – Segment Information

The Company’s segments are based on our internal reporting of operating results used to assess performance based on our properties’ geographical markets. Our markets are aggregated into three reportable regions or segments, East, Central and West, which are based on the geographical locations of our properties. Management considers rental revenues and property net operating income aggregated by segment to be the appropriate way to analyze performance. Certain reclassifications have been made to prior year results to conform to the current presentation related to discontinued operations (see “Note 12 – Discontinued Operations and Assets Held” for Sale for additional information).

The following table reflects our total assets, net of accumulated depreciation and amortization, by segment, as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 (in thousands):

⁽¹⁾ Property net operating income (“property NOI”) is defined as rental revenues, including reimbursements, less rental expenses and real estate taxes, which excludes institutional capital management fees, depreciation, amortization, casualty and involuntary conversion gain (loss), impairment, general and administrative expenses, equity in earnings (loss) of unconsolidated joint ventures, interest expense, interest and other income (expense) and income tax benefit (expense) and other taxes. We consider property NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because property NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the properties such as depreciation, amortization, impairment, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. However, property 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 property NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating property NOI. Therefore, we believe net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall financial performance.

Note 12 – Discontinued Operations and Assets Held for Sale

Assets Held for Sale

As of September 30, 2015, one property in our East operating segment was classified as held for sale.  In October 2015, we completed the sale of this property.  

Discontinued Operations

We report results of operations from real estate assets that meet the definition of a component of an entity, have been sold or meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale, for which the disposal or expected disposal represents a strategic shift in operations, as discontinued operations. Real estate assets that meet the definition of a component of an entity and were disposed of or held for sale prior to January 1, 2014 are reported as discontinued operations.

The following table summarizes the components of income from discontinued operations for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 (in thousands):

Note 13 – Condensed Consolidating Financial Information

During October 2013, the Operating Partnership issued $275.0 million aggregate principal amount of 4.50% senior notes at 99.038% of face value in a private placement. The senior notes are jointly and severally, fully and unconditionally guaranteed by DCT and certain of the Company’s wholly owned subsidiaries. During May 2014, we completed the exchange of these notes for SEC registered notes having substantially identical terms.

The following tables present the condensed consolidated financial information for (a) DCT Industrial Trust, Inc. (“Parent” and a guarantor), (b) DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP (“Subsidiary Issuer”), (c) on a combined basis, the guarantor subsidiaries (“Subsidiary Guarantors”), and (d) on a combined basis, the non-guarantor subsidiaries (“Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”). Additional columns present consolidating adjustments and consolidated totals as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Certain of our subsidiaries may be released from their guarantees, primarily due to the disposition of properties. These changes in guarantors are reflected retrospectively for all periods presented.

Separate financial statements of the Subsidiary Guarantors are not presented because the guarantee by each 100% owned Subsidiary Guarantor is full and unconditional, joint and several. Furthermore, there are no significant legal restrictions on the Parent’s ability to obtain funds from its subsidiaries by dividend or loan.

Investments in consolidated subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method for purposes of the combined presentation. The consolidating adjustments principally relate to the elimination of investments in consolidated subsidiaries and intercompany balances and transactions.

Note 14 – Subsequent Events

GAAP requires an entity to disclose events that occur after the balance sheet date but before financial statements are issued or are available to be issued (“subsequent events”) as well as the date through which an entity has evaluated subsequent events. There are two types of subsequent events. The first type consists of events or transactions that provide additional evidence about conditions that existed at the date of the balance sheet, including the estimates inherent in the process of preparing financial statements, (“recognized subsequent events”). The second type consists of events that provide evidence about conditions that did not exist at the date of the balance sheet but arose subsequent to that date (“nonrecognized subsequent events”). No significant recognized or nonrecognized subsequent events were noted other than those mentioned in Note 6 – Outstanding Indebtedness.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

We make statements in this report that are considered “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, or the Securities Act, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the Exchange Act, which are usually identified by the use of words such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “expects,” “intends,” “may,” “plans,” “projects,” “seeks,” “should,” “will,” and variations of such words or similar expressions. We intend these forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. These forward-looking statements reflect our current views about our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects, which are based on the information currently available to us and on assumptions we have made. Although we believe that our plans, intentions, expectations, strategies and prospects as reflected in or suggested by those forward-looking statements are reasonable, we can give no assurance that the plans, intentions, expectations or strategies will be attained or achieved. Furthermore, actual results may differ materially from those described in the forward-looking statements and will be affected by a variety of risks and factors that are beyond our control including, without limitation:

● national, international, regional and local economic conditions;

● the general level of interest rates and the availability of capital;

● the competitive environment in which we operate;

● real estate risks, including fluctuations in real estate values and the general economic climate in local markets and competition for tenants in such markets;

● decreased rental rates or increasing vacancy rates;

● defaults on or non-renewal of leases by tenants;

● acquisition and development risks, including failure of such acquisitions and development projects to perform in accordance with projections;

● the timing of acquisitions, dispositions and development;

● natural disasters such as fires, floods, tornadoes, hurricanes and earthquakes;

● energy costs;

● the terms of governmental regulations that affect us and interpretations of those regulations, including the costs of compliance with those regulations, changes in real estate and zoning laws and increases in real property tax rates;

● financing risks, including the risk that our cash flows from operations may be insufficient to meet required payments of principal, interest and other commitments;

● lack of or insufficient amounts of insurance;

● litigation, including costs associated with prosecuting or defending claims and any adverse outcomes;

● the consequences of future terrorist attacks or civil unrest;

● environmental liabilities, including costs, fines or penalties that may be incurred due to necessary remediation of contamination of properties presently owned or previously owned by us; and

● other risks and uncertainties detailed in the section entitled “Risk Factors.”

In addition, our current and continuing qualification as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, involves the application of highly technical and complex provisions of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, or the Code, and depends on our ability to meet the various requirements imposed by the Code through actual operating results, distribution levels and diversity of stock ownership.

We assume no obligation to update publicly any forward-looking statements, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise. The reader should carefully review our financial statements and the notes thereto, as well as the section entitled “Risk Factors” in this report.

Overview

DCT Industrial Trust Inc. is a leading industrial real estate company specializing in the acquisition, development, leasing and management of bulk distribution and light industrial properties located in high-volume distribution markets in the United States. As used herein, the terms “Company,” “we,” “our” and “us” refer to DCT Industrial Trust Inc. and its subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP. When we use the term “DCT,” we are referring to DCT Industrial Trust Inc. by itself, and not including any of its subsidiaries, and when we use the term the “Operating Partnership,” we are referring to DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP by itself, and not including any of its subsidiaries.

DCT was formed as a Maryland corporation in April 2002 and has elected to be treated as a real estate investment trust, or REIT, for U.S. federal income tax purposes. We are structured as an umbrella partnership REIT under which substantially all of our current and future business is, and will be, conducted through a majority owned and controlled subsidiary, DCT Industrial Operating Partnership LP, a Delaware limited partnership, for which DCT is the sole general partner. DCT owns properties through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2015, DCT owned approximately 95.4% of the outstanding equity interests in the Operating Partnership.

As of September 30, 2015, the Company owned interests in approximately 73.3 million square feet of properties leased to approximately 900 customers, including:

● 62.0 million square feet comprising 405 consolidated operating properties, including one 33,000 square foot building classified as held for sale, were 94.5% occupied;

● 7.5 million square feet comprising 23 unconsolidated properties were 92.9% occupied and which we operated on behalf of three institutional capital management partners; 

● 0.8 million square feet comprising four consolidated buildings under redevelopment; and

● 3.0 million square feet comprising eight consolidated buildings in development.

In addition, the Company has 11 projects under construction and several projects in predevelopment. See “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Note 3—Investment in Properties” for further detail related to our development activity.

Our primary business objectives are to maximize long-term growth in Funds From Operations, or FFO, as defined on page 55, net asset value of our portfolio and total shareholder returns. In our pursuit of these long-term objectives, we seek to:

● maximize cash flows from existing properties;

● deploy capital into quality acquisitions and development opportunities which meet our asset, location and financial criteria; and

● recycle capital by selling assets that no longer fit our investment criteria and reinvesting the proceeds into higher growth opportunities.

Outlook

We seek to maximize long-term earnings growth and value within the context of overall economic conditions, primarily through increasing occupancy, rents and operating income at existing properties and acquiring and developing high-quality properties with attractive operating income and value growth prospects. Fundamentals for industrial real estate continue to improve in response to general improvement in the economy as well as trends that particularly favor industrial assets, including the growth of e-commerce and U.S. based manufacturing. We expect moderate economic growth to continue through the remainder of 2015, which should result in continued positive demand for warehouse space as companies expand and upgrade their distribution and production platforms.

In response to positive net absorption and lower market vacancy levels, rental rates are increasing in most of our markets, although they generally remain below peak levels. Rental concessions, such as free rent, have also declined in all markets. Consistent with recent experience and based on current market conditions, we expect average net effective rental rates on new leases signed during the remainder of 2015 to be higher than the rates on expiring leases. As positive net absorption of warehouse space continues, we expect the rental rate environment to continue to improve.

New development has begun to increase in many markets where fundamentals have improved; however, construction is below current levels of net absorption in most markets and below peak levels. We expect that the operating environment will continue to be favorable for landlords with a meaningful improvement of rental rates and continued strong occupancy levels.

We expect same store net operating income to be higher in 2015 than it was in 2014, primarily as a result of higher occupancy in 2015 and the impact of increasing rental rates on leases signed in 2015 compared to expiring leases.

38

In terms of capital investment, we will pursue the selective development of new buildings and the opportunistic acquisition of buildings in markets where we perceive demand and market rental rates will provide attractive financial returns.

We anticipate continuing to selectively dispose of non-strategic assets where demand continues at levels where we perceive opportunities to recycle capital into higher growth assets in an effort to enhance long-term growth in earnings and cash flows.

We anticipate having sufficient liquidity to fund our operating expenses, including costs to maintain our properties and distributions, though we may finance investments, including acquisitions and developments, with the issuance of new common shares, proceeds from asset sales or through additional borrowings. Please see “Liquidity and Capital Resources” for additional discussion.

Inflation

Although the U.S. economy has recently experienced low inflation, and a wide variety of industries and sectors are affected differently by changing commodity prices, inflation has not had a significant impact on us in our markets. Most of our leases require the customers to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, most of our leases expire within five years which enables us to replace existing leases with new leases at then-existing market rates.

Summary of Significant Transactions and Activities During 2015

Significant transactions for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 

● Acquisitions

● During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we acquired 14 buildings comprising 2.1 million square feet in the Atlanta, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Northern California, Phoenix and Seattle markets for a total purchase price of approximately $124.9 million. Weighted average occupancy upon the acquisition of the properties was 80.0%.

● Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we acquired 232.3 acres of land in the Atlanta, Baltimore/Washington D.C., Chicago, Dallas, Miami and Orlando markets for approximately $52.4 million that are held for future development.

● Development Activities

● As of September 30, 2015, construction was shell-complete on eight buildings totaling 3.0 million square feet in the Atlanta, Dallas, Houston, Orlando, Seattle and Southern California markets. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we stabilized six buildings totaling 1.1 million square feet.  Additionally, we recognized development profit, net of taxes, of approximately $2.6 million related to the sales of 8th & Vineyard C, 8th & Vineyard D and 8th & Vineyard E to third-parties.

● Leasing Activity

The following table provides a summary of our leasing activity for the nine months ended September 30, 2015:

	Number of Leases Signed		Square Feet Signed(1)		Net Effective Rent Per Square Foot(2)		GAAP Basis Rent Growth(3)			Weighted Average Lease Term(4)		Turnover Costs Per Square Foot(5)		Weighted Average Retention(6)
			(in thousands)							(in months)
Third quarter 2015		83		5,081	$	5.61		18.8	%		74	$	2.38		70.0	%
Year to date 2015		213		13,605	$	5.27		15.8	%		74	$	2.81		67.5	%

⁽¹⁾ Excludes month to month leases.

⁽²⁾ Net effective rent is the average base rent calculated in accordance with GAAP, over the term of the lease.

⁽³⁾ GAAP basis rent growth is an annual ratio of the change in net effective rent (including straight-line rent adjustments as required by GAAP) compared to the net effective rent of the comparable lease. Leases where there were no prior comparable leases due to materially different lease structures are excluded.

⁽⁴⁾ Assumes no exercise of lease renewal options, if any.

⁽⁵⁾ Turnover costs are comprised of the costs incurred or capitalized for improvements of vacant and renewal spaces, as well as the commissions paid and indirect costs capitalized for leasing transactions. Turnover costs per square foot represent the total turnover costs expected to be incurred on the leases signed during the period and do not reflect actual expenditures for the period.

⁽⁶⁾ Represents the percentage of customers renewing their respective leases weighted by average square feet.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we signed 97 leases comprising 7.4 million square feet with total concessions of $10.9 million primarily related to free rent periods.

Other Events

In May 2015, we determined that we had been the victim of a criminal fraud involving the impersonation of our Chief Executive Officer resulting in our transfer of $6.1 million to third-party overseas accounts. As a result of efforts working with our bank and federal law enforcement authorities, we have recovered approximately $3.0 million of the amount transferred.  In addition, we have incurred $0.3 million of other costs related to the investigation of this incident.  We have filed a claim with our insurance carriers related to this incident.  As of September 30, 2015, it is not known whether we will be determined to be entitled to receive insurance proceeds related to this claim.  Accordingly, during the nine months ended September 30, 2015, we recorded an expense of $3.4 million in “General and administrative” expense related to this incident and the associated internal investigation, which expense may be reduced in the future by any insurance claim recoveries.  

Customer Diversification

As of September 30, 2015, there were no customers that occupied more than 2.1% of our consolidated properties based on annualized base rent. The following table reflects our 10 largest customers, based on annualized base rent as of September 30, 2015, who occupy a combined 6.3 million square feet or 9.6% of our consolidated properties.

	Percentage of
	Annualized
Customer	Base Rent
Distributions Alternatives, Inc.		2.1	%
Schenker, Inc.		1.2	%
The Clorox Company		1.1	%
The Glidden Company		1.0	%

Although base rent is supported by long-term lease contracts, customers who file bankruptcy generally have the legal right to reject any or all of their leases. In the event that a customer with a significant number of leases in our properties files bankruptcy and cancels its leases we could experience a reduction in our revenues and an increase in allowance for doubtful accounts receivable.

We frequently monitor the financial condition of our customers. We communicate often with those customers whom have been late on payments or filed bankruptcy. We are not currently aware of any significant financial difficulties of any tenants that would cause a material reduction in our revenues, and no customer represents more than 2.1% of our annual base rent.

Results of Operations

Summary of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2014

We are a leading industrial real estate company specializing in the acquisition, development, leasing and management of bulk distribution and light industrial properties located in high-volume distribution markets in the U.S. As of September 30, 2015, the Company owned interests in or had under development approximately 73.3 million square feet of properties leased to approximately 900 customers, including 7.5 million square feet managed on behalf of three institutional capital management joint venture partners. Also as of September 30, 2015, we consolidated 404 operating properties, four redevelopment properties, eight development properties and one consolidated property classified as held for sale.

Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2014

The following table illustrates the changes in rental revenues, rental expenses and real estate taxes, property net operating income, other revenue and other income, and other expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the three months ended September 30, 2014. Our same store portfolio includes all operating properties that we owned for the entirety of both the current and prior year reporting periods. Developed properties are generally included in same store properties once they are stabilized. We generally consider buildings stabilized when occupancy reaches 90%. Non-same store operating properties include properties not meeting the same store criteria and exclude development and redevelopment properties. The same store portfolio for the periods presented totaled 361 operating properties and was comprised of 54.9 million square feet. A discussion of these changes follows in the table below (in thousands):

⁽¹⁾ Property net operating income, or property NOI, is defined as rental revenues, including expense reimbursements, less rental expenses and real estate taxes, and excludes institutional capital management fees, depreciation, amortization, casualty and involuntary conversion gain (loss), impairment, general and administrative expenses, equity in (earnings) loss of unconsolidated joint ventures, interest expense, interest and other income and income tax expense and other taxes. DCT Industrial considers NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure because NOI reflects the operating performance of DCT Industrial’s properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the properties such as amortization, depreciation, impairment, interest expense, interest income and general and administrative expenses. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of DCT Industrial’s financial performance since it excludes expenses which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, DCT Industrial’s NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. Therefore, DCT Industrial believes net income, as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate DCT Industrial’s overall financial performance. For a reconciliation of our property net operating income to our reported “Income from continuing operations,” see “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 11 – Segment Information.”

Segment Summary for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to the same period ended September 30, 2014

The Company’s segments are based on our internal reporting of operating results used to assess performance based on our properties’ geographical markets. Our markets are aggregated into three reportable regions or segments, East, Central and West, which are based on the geographical locations of our properties. These regions are comprised of the markets by which management and their operating teams conduct and monitor business (see further detail on our Segments in “Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements, Note 11 – Segment Information”). Management considers rental revenues and property net operating income aggregated by segment to be the appropriate way to analyze performance.

The following table illustrates the changes in our consolidated properties in continuing operations by segment as of, and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to September 30, 2014, respectively (dollar amounts and square feet in thousands):

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Overview

We currently expect that our principal sources of working capital and funding for potential capital requirements for expansions and renovation of properties, developments, acquisitions, and debt service and distributions to shareholders will include:

● Cash flows from operations;

● Proceeds from dispositions;

● Borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility;

● Other forms of secured or unsecured financings;

● Offerings of common stock or other securities;

● Current cash balances; and

● Distributions from institutional capital management and other joint ventures.

Our sources of capital will be used to meet our liquidity requirements and capital commitments, including operating activities, debt service obligations, equity holder distributions, capital expenditures at our properties, development funding requirements and future acquisitions. We expect to utilize the same sources of capital to meet our short-term and long-term liquidity requirements.

51

Cash Flows

“Cash and cash equivalents” were $11.8 million and $19.6 million as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $22.6 million to $151.7 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $129.1 million during the same period in 2014. This change was primarily due to an increase in property net operating income attributable to acquired properties and operating performance at existing properties.

Net cash used in investing activities decreased $67.8 million to $175.1 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $242.9 million during the same period in 2014. This change was primarily due to a decrease of $102.3 million of cash outflows related to acquisitions; which were partially offset by an increase of cash outflows related to capital expenditures of $27.7 million, as reflected in the table below, and a decrease of cash inflows from distributions of investments in unconsolidated joint ventures of $7.6 million.

We pursue the acquisition of buildings and land and consider selective development of new buildings in markets where we perceive that demand and market rental rates will provide attractive financial returns. The amount of cash used related to acquisitions and development and redevelopment investments will vary from period to period based on a number of factors, including, among others, current and anticipated future market conditions impacting the desirability of investments, leasing results with respect to our existing development and redevelopment projects and our ability to locate attractive opportunities. See “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Summary of Significant Transactions and Activities During 2015—Development Activities” for further details regarding projected investment of our current development activities as well as cumulative costs incurred as of September 30, 2015. Our total capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were comprised of the following (in thousands):

	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2015			2014			$ Change
Development	$	113,691		$	105,980		$	7,711

Due diligence		11,465			6,070			5,395
Casualty expenditures		2,077			687			1,390
Building and land improvements		10,808			9,809			999
Tenant improvements and leasing costs		28,484			29,147			(663	)
Total capital expenditures and development activities		173,571			153,333			20,238
Change in accruals and other adjustments		(11,033	)		(18,468	)		7,435
Total cash paid for capital expenditures and development activities	$	162,538		$	134,865		$	27,673

We capitalize costs directly related to the development, predevelopment, redevelopment or improvement of our investments in real estate. Building and land improvements comprise capital expenditures related to maintaining our consolidated operating activities. Due diligence capital improvements relate to acquired operating properties and are generally incurred within 12 months of the acquisition date.

We capitalize indirect costs such as personnel, office and administrative expenses that are directly related to our development projects, redevelopment projects and successful origination of new leases based on an estimate of the time spent on the development and leasing activities. These capitalized costs for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 were $8.7 million and $6.5 million, respectively. In addition, we capitalize interest costs incurred associated with development and construction activities. During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 total interest capitalized was $12.1 million and $6.1 million, respectively.

Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $92.3 million to $15.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015 compared to $107.9 million during the same period in 2014 primarily due to the following activities:

● $103.9 million decrease in net proceeds from the issuance of common stock;

● $40.0 million decrease due to the pay-off of our $40.0 million senior unsecured note that matured in June 2015; and

● $9.1 million decrease due to additional shares issued for offerings and operating partnership unit redemptions resulting in an increase in our dividends and distributions paid to common stockholders and unitholders; which was partially offset by

● $56.0 million increase in proceeds from our senior unsecured revolving credit facility as net borrowings of $149.0 million during 2015 exceeded our $93.0 million of net borrowings during 2014; and

● $8.4 million increase in mortgage notes as principal payments of $14.4 million in 2014 exceeded principal payments of $6.0 million in 2015.

52

Common Stock

As of September 30, 2015, approximately 88.2 million shares of common stock were issued and outstanding.

The net proceeds from the sales of our securities are contributed to our Operating Partnership in exchange for a number of OP Units equal to the shares of common stock sold in our offerings.

OP Units

Limited partners have the right to require the Company to redeem all or a portion of the OP Units held by the limited partner at a redemption price equal to and in the form of the Cash Amount (as defined in the Amended and Restated Limited Partnership Agreement of the Operating Partnership (“Partnership Agreement”)), provided that such OP Units have been outstanding for at least one year. DCT may, in its sole discretion, purchase the OP Units by paying to the limited partner either the Cash Amount or the REIT Shares Amount (generally one share of DCT’s common stock for each OP Unit), as defined in the Partnership Agreement.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, approximately 0.2 million and 0.3 million OP Units were redeemed for approximately $1.7 million and $0.8 million in cash and approximately 0.1 million and 0.2 million shares of DCT common stock, respectively.

As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, the aggregate redemption value of the then-outstanding OP Units held by entities other than DCT was approximately $141.8 million and $149.8 million based on the $33.66 and $35.66 per share closing price of DCT’s common stock on September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively.

Distributions

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2015, our board of directors declared distributions to stockholders and unitholders totaling approximately $26.0 million and $78.0 million, respectively.  During the same periods in 2014, our board of directors declared distributions to stockholders and unitholders totaling approximately $24.8 million and $73.7 million, respectively.  Existing cash balances, cash provided from operations, borrowings under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and dispositions were used to pay distributions during 2015 and 2014.

Outstanding Indebtedness

As of September 30, 2015 our outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.5 billion consisted of mortgage notes, senior unsecured notes and bank unsecured credit facilities, excluding approximately $36.7 million representing our proportionate share of non-recourse debt associated with unconsolidated joint ventures. As of December 31, 2014, our outstanding indebtedness of approximately $1.4 billion consisted of mortgage notes, senior unsecured notes and bank unsecured credit facilities, excluding approximately $42.5 million representing our proportionate share of debt associated with unconsolidated joint ventures.

As of September 30, 2015, the gross book value of our consolidated properties was approximately $4.1 billion and the gross book value of all properties securing our mortgage debt was approximately $0.7 billion. As of December 31, 2014, the gross book value of our consolidated properties was approximately $4.0 billion and the gross book value of all properties securing our mortgage debt was approximately $0.6 billion. Our debt has various covenants with which we were in compliance as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

Our debt instruments require monthly, quarterly or semiannual payments of interest and mortgages generally require monthly or quarterly repayments of principal. Currently, cash flows from our operations are sufficient to satisfy these debt service requirements and we anticipate that cash flows from operations will continue to be sufficient to satisfy our debt service excluding principal maturities, which we plan to fund from refinancing and/or new debt.

Line of Credit

As of September 30, 2015, we had $186.0 million outstanding and $210.5 million available under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, net of one letter of credit totaling $3.5 million. As of December 31, 2014, we had $37.0 million outstanding and $243.5 million available under our senior unsecured revolving credit facility, net of three letters of credit totaling $19.5 million.

The senior unsecured revolving credit facility agreement contains various covenants with which we were in compliance as of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014.

⁽¹⁾ During October 2015, we paid-off a $50.9 million mortgage note maturing in February 2016.

⁽²⁾ The term loan facilities are presented in “Senior unsecured notes” in our Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Financing Strategy

We do not have a formal policy limiting the amount of debt we incur, although we currently intend to operate so that our financial metrics are generally consistent with investment grade peers in the real estate industry. We continually evaluate our secured and unsecured leverage and among other relevant metrics, our fixed charge coverage. Our charter and our bylaws do not limit the indebtedness that we may incur. We are, however, subject to certain covenants which may limit our outstanding indebtedness.

Contractual Obligations

The following table reflects our contractual obligations as of September 30, 2015, specifically our obligations under long-term debt agreements, operating lease agreements and ground lease agreements (in thousands):

	Payments due by Period
Contractual Obligations (1)	Total		Less than 1  Year		1 -3 Years		3 – 5 Years		Thereafter
Scheduled long-term debt maturities, including interest(2)	$	1,831,882	$	217,462	$	384,079	$	601,922	$	628,419

Total	$	1,845,427	$	218,909	$	385,655	$	603,163	$	637,700

⁽¹⁾ From time-to-time in the normal course of our business, we enter into various contracts with third parties that may obligate us to make payments, such as maintenance agreements at our properties. Such contracts, in the aggregate, do not represent material obligations, are typically short-term and cancellable within 90 days and are not included in the table above. Also, excluded from the total are our estimated construction costs to complete development and redevelopment projects of approximately $210.4 million.

⁽²⁾ Variable interest rate payments are estimated based on the LIBOR rate at September 30, 2015.

⁽³⁾ Three of our buildings comprising 0.7 million square feet reside on 38 acres of land which is leased from an airport authority.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

As of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements, other than those disclosed under contractual obligations, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, changes in financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures or capital resources that are material to investors, other than items discussed herein.

As of September 30, 2015, our proportionate share of the total construction loans of our unconsolidated development joint ventures was $35.9 million, which is scheduled to mature during 2017. Our proportionate share of the total construction loans, including undrawn amounts, of our unconsolidated development joint ventures includes 50.0% of the construction loans associated with the SCLA joint venture which are non-recourse to the venture partners.

54

Indebtedness and Other Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

There are no lines of credit or side agreements related to, or between, our unconsolidated joint ventures and us, and there are no other derivative financial instruments between our unconsolidated joint ventures and us. In addition, we believe we have no material exposure to financial guarantees, except as discussed above.

We may elect to fund additional capital to a joint venture through equity contributions (generally on a basis proportionate to our ownership interests), advances or partner loans, although such funding is not required contractually or otherwise. As of September 30, 2015, our proportionate share of non-recourse debt associated with unconsolidated joint ventures is $36.7 million. The maturities of our proportionate share of the non-recourse debt are summarized in the table below (in thousands):

Funds From Operations

DCT Industrial believes that net income (loss) attributable to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate earnings measure. However, DCT Industrial considers funds from operations (“FFO”), as defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), to be a useful supplemental non-GAAP measure of DCT Industrial’s operating performance. NAREIT developed FFO as a relative measure of performance of an equity REIT in order to recognize that the value of income-producing real estate historically has not depreciated on the basis determined under GAAP. FFO is generally defined as net income attributable to common stockholders, calculated in accordance with GAAP, plus real estate-related depreciation and amortization, less gains from dispositions of operating real estate held for investment purposes, plus impairment losses on depreciable real estate and impairments of in substance real estate investments in investees that are driven by measureable decreases in the fair value of the depreciable real estate held by the unconsolidated joint ventures and adjustments to derive DCT Industrial’s pro rata share of FFO of unconsolidated joint ventures. We exclude gains and losses on business combinations and include the gains or losses from dispositions of properties which were acquired or developed with the intention to sell or contribute to an investment fund in our definition of FFO. Although the NAREIT definition of FFO predates the guidance for accounting for gains and losses on business combinations, we believe that excluding such gains and losses is consistent with the key objective of FFO as a performance measure. We also present FFO excluding acquisition costs, debt modification costs and impairment losses on properties which are not depreciable. We believe that FFO excluding acquisition costs, debt modification costs and impairment losses on non-depreciable real estate is useful supplemental information regarding our operating performance as it provides a more meaningful and consistent comparison of our operating performance and allows investors to more easily compare our operating results. Readers should note that FFO captures neither the changes in the value of DCT Industrial’s properties that result from use or market conditions, nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of DCT Industrial’s properties, all of which have real economic effect and could materially impact DCT Industrial’s results from operations. NAREIT’s definition of FFO is subject to interpretation, and modifications to the NAREIT definition of FFO are common. Accordingly, DCT Industrial’s FFO may not be comparable to other REITs’ FFO and FFO should be considered only as a supplement to net income (loss) as a measure of DCT Industrial’s performance.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Market risk is the exposure to losses resulting from changes in market prices such as interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates and rental rates. Our future earnings and cash flows are dependent upon prevailing market rates. Accordingly, we manage our market risk by matching projected cash inflows from operating, investing and financing activities with projected cash outflows for debt service, acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions to stockholders and OP unitholders and other cash requirements. The majority of our outstanding debt has fixed interest rates, which minimizes the risk of fluctuating interest rates.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk includes interest rate fluctuations in connection with our senior unsecured revolving credit facility and other variable rate borrowings and forecasted fixed rate debt issuances, including refinancing of existing fixed rate debt. Interest rate risk may result from many factors, including governmental monetary and tax policies, domestic and international economic and political considerations and other factors that are beyond our control. To manage interest rate risk for variable rate debt and issuances of fixed rate debt, in the past we have primarily used treasury locks and forward-starting swaps as part of our cash flow hedging strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. We do not use derivatives for trading or speculative purposes and only enter into contracts with major financial institutions based on their credit rating and other factors.

During June 2013 certain of our consolidated investments entered into two pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps to hedge the variability of future cash flows attributable to changes in the 1 month LIBOR rates. The pay-fixed, receive-floating swaps have an effective date of June 2013 and a maturity date of June 2023. These interest rates swaps effectively fix the interest rate on the related debt instruments at 4.72%. As of September 30, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had borrowings payable subject to pay-fixed, receive-floating interest rate swaps with aggregate principal balances of $6.8 million and $7.0 million, respectively.

Our variable rate debt is subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. As of September 30, 2015, we had approximately $411.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding indexed to LIBOR rates. If the LIBOR rates relevant to our variable rate debt were to increase 10%, we estimate that our interest expense during the three months ended September 30, 2015 would increase less than $0.1 million based on our outstanding floating-rate debt as of September 30, 2015. Additionally, if weighted average interest rates on our fixed rate debt were to have increased by 100 basis points due to refinancing, interest expense would have increased by approximately $8.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2015.

As of September 30, 2015, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately $1.6 billion based on our estimate of the then-current market interest rates.
