EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2024 of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and First Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.

The Company is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. At June 30, 2024, the Company owned an approximate 97.3% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 2.7% common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by limited partners. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership primarily include persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and recipients of RLP Units (as defined in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company exercises exclusive and complete discretion over the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management and control and can cause it to enter into certain major transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions and refinancings. The management of the Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.

The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one enterprise. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of the Company's assets are held by, and its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.

We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Company and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. The main areas of difference between the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership are:

•Equity, Noncontrolling Interest and Partners' Capital. The 2.7% equity interest in the Operating Partnership held by persons or entities other than the Company is classified as limited partners units in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and as a noncontrolling interest in the Company's financial statements.

•Relationship to Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, although operations are also conducted through several other limited partnerships, which are referred to as the "Other Real Estate Partnerships." The Operating Partnership is a limited partner, holding at least a 99% interest, and the Company is a general partner, holding at least a .01% general partnership interest through several separate wholly-owned corporations, in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities that both the Company and the Operating Partnership consolidate. The Company's direct general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships is reflected as noncontrolling interest within the Operating Partnership's financial statements.

•Relationship to Service Subsidiary. The Company has a direct wholly-owned subsidiary that does not own any real estate but provides services to various other entities owned by the Company. Since the Operating Partnership does not have an ownership interest in this entity, its operations are reflected in the consolidated results of the Company but not the Operating Partnership. Also, this entity owes certain amounts to the Operating Partnership, for which a receivable is included on the Operating Partnership's balance sheet but is eliminated on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet, since both this entity and the Operating Partnership are fully consolidated by the Company.

We believe combining the Company's and Operating Partnership's quarterly reports into this single report results in the following benefits:

•enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management views and operates the business;

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

•eliminates duplicative disclosures and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.

To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides the following disclosures for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:

•Consolidated Financial Statements;

•a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity's equity or partners' capital, as applicable; and

•a combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes distinct information related to each entity.

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

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC. AND FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited; dollars in thousands, except per share and Unit data)

1. Organization

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops and redevelops industrial real estate. The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), and its consolidated subsidiaries.

We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner (the "General Partner"), with an approximate 97.3% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at June 30, 2024. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through several other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, wholly-owned by the Company, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100% ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company's noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 2.7% at June 30, 2024 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units"). The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership and/or recipients of RLP Units of the Operating Partnership (see Note 6) pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan.

Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own an equity interest in a joint venture (the "Joint Venture"). We also provide various services to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of the Joint Venture is not consolidated with that of the Company or the Operating Partnership as presented herein. See Note 5 for more information related to the Joint Venture.

Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs, the Other Real Estate Partnerships, the TRSs and the Joint Venture are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, the members or the shareholders, as applicable, of such entities in accordance with the provisions contained within their respective organizational documents.

As of June 30, 2024, we owned 424 industrial properties located in 19 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 67.9 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 424 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2023 ("2023 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such Consolidated Financial Statements and related notes. The 2023 year end Consolidated Balance Sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited Consolidated Financial Statements in our 2023 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following notes to these interim Consolidated Financial Statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 2023 audited Consolidated Financial Statements included in our 2023 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.

Use of Estimates

In order to conform with GAAP, in preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, and our cash flows for each of the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In November 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-07, "Improvements to Reportable Segment Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-07"). ASU 2023-07 requires disclosure of significant segment expenses that are regularly provided to the chief operating decision maker and included within the segment measure of profit or loss. ASU 2023-07 will be applied retrospectively and is effective for annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 31, 2024. We are currently evaluating ASU 2023-07 to determine its impact on our disclosures.

In December 2023, the FASB issued ASU 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating ASU 2023-09 to determine its impact on our disclosures.

3. Investment in Real Estate

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we acquired one industrial property comprised of approximately 0.05 million square feet of GLA. We accounted for the property as an asset acquisition and capitalized transaction costs to the basis of the acquired asset.

In-Place Leases	1,283
Above Market Leases	218
Other Assets	371
Total Purchase Price	$	15,750

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we sold 10 industrial properties comprised of approximately 0.5 million square feet of GLA. Gross proceeds from the sales were $56,507 and the gain on sale of real estate attributable to these sales was $36,987.

Real Estate Held for Sale

As of June 30, 2024, we had a portfolio of seven industrial properties comprised of approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA held for sale. The Liabilities Held for Sale line item included on the Consolidated Balance Sheets is comprised of Operating Lease Liabilities and Rents Received in Advance and Security Deposits.

(B) At our option, we may extend the maturity pursuant to two, one-year extension options, subject to certain conditions.

(C) At our option, we may extend the maturity pursuant to two, six-month extension options, subject to certain conditions. Amounts exclude unamortized debt issuance costs of $1,372 and $2,036 as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively, which are included in the line item Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net.

Mortgage Loan Payable

As of June 30, 2024, the mortgage loan payable is collateralized by industrial properties with a net carrying value of $30,651. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to our mortgage loan as of June 30, 2024.

Indebtedness

The following is a schedule of the stated maturities and scheduled principal payments of our indebtedness, exclusive of discounts, debt issuance costs and the impact of extension options, for the next five years as of June 30, and thereafter: 

	Amount
Remainder of 2024	$	168
2025	599,349
2026	200,364
2027	556,449
2028	190,453
Thereafter	685,600
Total	$	2,232,383

Our Unsecured Credit Facility, our Unsecured Term Loans, our senior notes issued in private placements ("Private Placement Notes") and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain financial covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Under the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loans, an event of default can occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred, which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreements. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans, the Private Placement Notes and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of June 30, 2024; however, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our lenders and noteholders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.

Fair Value

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fair value of our indebtedness was as follows: 

	June 30, 2024				December 31, 2023
	Carrying Amount (A)		Fair Value		Carrying Amount (A)		Fair Value
Mortgage Loan Payable	$	9,812	$	9,452	$	9,978	$	9,666
Senior Unsecured Notes, Net	998,528		899,419		998,525		902,042
Unsecured Term Loans	925,000		925,000		925,000		925,000
Unsecured Credit Facility	299,000		299,000		299,000		299,000
Total	$	2,232,340	$	2,132,871	$	2,232,503	$	2,135,708

_______________

(A) The carrying amounts include unamortized discounts and exclude unamortized debt issuance costs.

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

5. Variable Interest Entities

Other Real Estate Partnerships

The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities ("VIEs") of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary, thus causing the Other Real Estate Partnerships to be consolidated by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Operating Partnership is a VIE of the Company and the Company is the primary beneficiary.

The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of the Other Real Estate Partnerships included in our Consolidated Balance Sheets, net of intercompany amounts:

	June 30, 2024		December 31, 2023

Total Liabilities and Partners' Capital	$	340,744	$	346,546

Joint Venture

The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of developing, leasing, operating and selling land located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. We hold our Joint Venture interest through a consolidated partnership (the "Joint Venture Partnership") in which we hold an 88% interest and in which a third-party holds the remaining 12% interest. As we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Joint Venture Partnership, we consolidate the Joint Venture Partnership and reflect our partner's share as Noncontrolling Interest (see Note 6). The Joint Venture Partnership holds a 49% interest in the unconsolidated Joint Venture, which we account for under the equity method of accounting. Excluding the minority interest holder's share, we own a 43% interest in the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture Partnership is held through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership.

Under the operating agreement for the Joint Venture, we act as the managing member and are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, development, construction supervision, disposition and asset management services. In addition, the Joint Venture's operating agreement provides us the ability to earn incentive fees based on the ultimate financial performance of the Joint Venture.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we earned fees of $1,618 and $3,664, respectively, from the Joint Venture, related to asset management, property management, leasing and development services we provided to the Joint Venture, of which we deferred recognition of $345 and $748, respectively, due to our economic interest in the Joint Venture. During the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we incurred fees of $797 and $2,131, respectively, related to third-party development, property management and leasing services associated with the Joint Venture. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, we had a receivable from the Joint Venture of $165 and $138, respectively.

20

Net income of the Joint Venture for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023 was $3,712 and $42,116, respectively. Included in net income during the six months ended June 30, 2024 was gain on sale of real estate of $368. The gain on sale of real estate recognized by the Joint Venture during the six months ended June 30, 2024 relates to gain that was deferred on land sales during the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022. An allocable portion of this gain on sale was deferred because the Joint Venture was required to complete infrastructure work for the purchasers of the land. The deferred gain is being recognized under the percentage of completion method. Our economic share of the Joint Venture's gain on sale was $180. Included in net income of the Joint Venture during the six months ended June 30, 2023 is gain on sale of real estate of $40,077 related to the sale of approximately 31 acres of land for which our economic share was $19,638. For the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, we earned incentive fees of $742 and $8,460, respectively, from the Joint Venture, which is reflected in the Equity In Income of Joint Venture line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, the Joint Venture completed development of two buildings comprised of an aggregate 0.8 million square feet of GLA and has one building under development at June 30, 2024 comprised of 1.0 million square feet of GLA (collectively, the "Project"). During the year ended December 31, 2022, in connection with the Project, the Joint Venture entered into a construction loan with a capacity of $149,514 with a third party lender (the "Joint Venture Loan"). As of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the balance of the Joint Venture Loan is $119,596 and $95,711, respectively, excluding $499 and $730, respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs. With respect to the Joint Venture Loan, we provided a completion guarantee to the lender and our third-party joint venture partner that requires the Company to timely complete construction of the Project. Total estimated investment for the Project is approximately $224,020 and the Joint Venture is using a third-party general contractor to develop the buildings pursuant to a guaranteed maximum price contract. We also provided a guarantee to the lender related to typical non-recourse exceptions and an environmental indemnity. It is not possible to estimate the amount of additional costs, if any, that we may incur in connection with our completion guarantees to the third party lender and/or our joint venture partner as well as the non-recourse exception and environmental indemnity guarantees; however, we do not expect that we will be required to make any significant payments in satisfaction of these guarantees.

6. Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership

Noncontrolling Interest of the Company

The equity positions of various individuals and entities that contributed their properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Limited Partner Units, as well as the equity positions of the holders of Limited Partner Units issued in connection with the grant of restricted limited partner Units ("RLP Units") pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan, are collectively referred to as the “Noncontrolling Interests.” An RLP Unit is a class of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership that is structured as a "profits interest" for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is an award that is granted under our stock incentive plan (see Note 9). Generally, RLP Units entitle the holder to receive distributions from the Operating Partnership that are equivalent to the dividends and distributions that would be made with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such RLP Units, though receipt of such distributions may be delayed or made contingent on vesting. Once an RLP Unit has vested and received allocations of book income sufficient to increase the book capital account balance associated with such RLP Unit (which will initially be zero) equal to, on a per-unit basis, the book capital account balance associated with a "common" Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership, it automatically becomes a common Limited Partner Unit that is convertible by the holder to one share of Common Stock or a cash equivalent, at the Company's option. Net income is allocated to the Noncontrolling Interests based on the weighted average ownership percentage during the period.

Noncontrolling Interest - Joint Venture

Our ownership interest in the Joint Venture is held through the Joint Venture Partnership with a third party and we concluded that we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Joint Venture Partnership. As a result, we consolidate the Joint Venture Partnership and reflect the third party's interest in the Joint Venture Partnership that invests in the Joint Venture as a Noncontrolling Interest. Our partner's share of the Joint Venture Partnership's income was $144 and $189 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $320 and $3,550 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and was reflected in the Equity in Income of Joint Venture and the Noncontrolling Interests line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Noncontrolling Interests line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets includes our third party partner's interest of $6,621 and $6,444 at June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, respectively.

ATM Program

On February 24, 2023, we entered into distribution agreements with a three-year term with certain sales agents to sell up to 16,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for up to $800,000 aggregate gross sales proceeds, from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings (the "ATM"). Under the terms of the ATM, sales are to be made through transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange, sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or sales made through privately negotiated transactions. During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we did not issue any shares of the Company's common stock under the ATM.

7. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income

The following table summarizes the changes in accumulated other comprehensive income by component for the Company and the Operating Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2024:

	Derivative Instruments		Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of the Operating Partnership		Comprehensive (Loss) Income Attributable to Noncontrolling Interest of the Company		Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income of the Company
Balance as of December 31, 2023	$	22,842	$	22,842	$	(570)	$	22,272
Other Comprehensive Income Before Reclassifications	21,765		21,765		(304)		21,461
Amounts Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income	(12,080)		(12,080)		—		(12,080)
Net Current Period Other Comprehensive Income	9,685		9,685		(304)		9,381
Balance as of June 30, 2024	$	32,527	$	32,527	$	(874)	$	31,653

The following table summarizes the reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for both the Company and the Operating Partnership for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	Amounts Reclassified from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income
Details about Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income Components	Three Months Ended June 30, 2024		Three Months Ended June 30, 2023		Six Months Ended June 30, 2024		Six Months Ended June 30, 2023		Affected Line Items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations
Derivative Instruments:
Amortization of Previously Settled Derivative Instruments	$	103	$	103	$	205	$	205	Interest Expense
Net Settlement Receipts from our Counterparties	(6,136)		(5,272)		(12,285)		(9,373)		Interest Expense
Total	$	(6,033)	$	(5,169)	$	(12,080)	$	(9,168)

The change in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income and is subsequently reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the derivative or over the life of the debt. In the next 12 months, we expect to amortize approximately $410 into net income by increasing interest expense for derivative instruments we settled in previous periods. Additionally, recurring settlement amounts on the 2021 Swaps, the 2022 Swaps and the 2022 II Swaps (all defined in Note 10) will also be reclassified to net income.

At June 30, 2024 and 2023, participating securities for the Company included 105,249 and 129,909, respectively, of Service Awards (see Note 9), which participate in non-forfeitable distributions. At June 30, 2024 and 2023, participating securities for the Operating Partnership included 272,287 and 352,686, respectively, of Service Awards and certain Performance Awards (see Note 9), which participate in non-forfeitable distributions. Under the two-class method, participating security holders are allocated income, in proportion to total weighted average shares or Units outstanding, based upon the greater of net income or common stock dividends or Unit distributions declared.

9. Long-Term Compensation

Awards with Performance Measures

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, 46,947 performance units ("Performance Units") and 263,159 RLP Units ("Performance RLP Units" and, together with the Performance Units, collectively the "Performance Awards") were granted to certain employees based on performance-based criteria, which had a fair value of approximately $9,281 on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. A portion of each Performance Award vests based upon the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock compared to the TSR of the FTSE Nareit All Equity Index and the remainder vests based upon the TSR of the Company’s common stock compared to a specified group of peer industrial real estate companies. The performance period for these Performance Awards is three years. Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the applicable vesting period for the Performance Awards. At the end of the measuring period, vested Performance Units convert into shares of common stock.

Service Based Awards

For the six months ended June 30, 2024, 61,168 shares of restricted stock units ("Service Units") and 102,548 RLP Units ("Service RLP Units" and together with the Service Units, collectively the "Service Awards") were granted to certain employees and outside directors based on service-based criteria, which had an aggregate fair value of approximately $8,408 on the grant date. The fair value of the Service Awards is based on the Company's stock price on the date such awards were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Service Awards awarded to employees were based on the prior achievement of certain corporate performance goals and generally vest ratably over three years based on continued employment. Service Awards granted to outside directors vest after one year. Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the Service Awards. At the end of the service period, vested Service Units convert into shares of common stock.

Retirement Eligibility

All award agreements issued underlying Performance Awards and Service Awards contain a retirement eligibility policy for employees with at least 10 years of continuous service and are at least 60 years old. For employees that meet the age and service eligibility requirements, their awards are non-forfeitable. As such, during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we expensed 100% of the awards granted to retirement-eligible employees at the grant date as if fully vested. For employees who will meet the age and service eligibility requirements during the normal vesting periods, the grants are amortized over the shorter service period. Additionally, our Chief Executive Officer's employment agreement contains a retirement provision, which provides for all of his outstanding Performance Awards and Service Awards to be non-forfeitable effective December 31, 2024. As such, his Performance Awards and Service Awards granted during the six months ended June 30, 2024 are amortized over one year versus three years.

Outstanding Performance Awards and Service Awards

We recognized $3,875 and $3,269 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $12,983 and $9,409 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, in compensation expense related to the amortization of the Service Awards and the Performance Awards. Service Award and Performance Award amortization capitalized in connection with development activities was $289 and $430 for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and $2,093 and $2,136 for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023, respectively. At June 30, 2024, we had $15,079 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested Service Awards and Performance Awards. The weighted average period over which the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 0.82 years.

25

10. Derivative Instruments

Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use derivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

We have interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in SOFR related to our Unsecured Term Loans. We have three interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200,000, that fixed the SOFR rate component at 0.87% for the three months ended June 30, 2024 and mature on February 2, 2026 (the "2021 Swaps").

We have eight interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $425,000 that fix the SOFR rate component at 2.69% and mature on September 30, 2027 (the "2022 Swaps").

We have seven interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $300,000 that fix the SOFR rate component at 3.93% (the "2022 II Swaps"). $150,000 of the 2022 II Swaps' aggregate notional value matures on December 1, 2025 and the remaining $150,000 of the 2022 II Swaps' aggregate notional value matures on August 1, 2027. We have designated the 2021 Swaps, the 2022 Swaps and the 2022 II Swaps as cash flow hedges.

Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain certain cross-default provisions that may be triggered in the event that our other indebtedness is in default, subject to certain thresholds. As of June 30, 2024, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the provisions of these agreements. If we had breached these agreements, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value.

The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities related to the 2021 Swaps, the 2022 Swaps and the 2022 II Swaps, which are included in the line items Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net or Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023:

			Fair Value Measurements:
Description	Fair Value at June 30, 2024		Quoted Prices in Active Markets for Identical Assets (Level 1)	Significant Other Observable Inputs (Level 2)		Unobservable Inputs (Level 3)
Derivatives designated as a hedging instrument:
Assets:
2021 Swaps	$	11,658	—	$	11,658	—
2022 Swaps	$	19,487	—	$	19,487	—
2022 II Swaps	$	3,361	—	$	3,361	—
	Fair Value at December 31, 2023
Derivatives designated as a hedging instrument:
Assets:
2021 Swaps	$	12,517	—	$	12,517	—
2022 Swaps	$	13,285	—	$	13,285	—
Liabilities:
2022 II Swaps	$	(776)	—	$	(776)	—

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the 2021 Swaps, the 2022 Swaps or the 2022 II Swaps during the six months ended June 30, 2024. See Note 7 for more information regarding our derivatives.

The estimated fair value of the 2021 Swaps, the 2022 Swaps and the 2022 II Swaps was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair value to account for potential non-performance risk, including our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty's non-performance risk. We determined that the significant inputs used to value the 2021 Swaps, the 2022 Swaps and the 2022 II Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

26

11. Related Party Transactions

At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the Operating Partnership had receivable balances of $9,255 and $9,288, respectively, from a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Additionally, see Note 5 for transactions with our joint venture.

12. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of our industrial properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.

In conjunction with the development of industrial properties, we have entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction of industrial properties. At June 30, 2024, we had four development projects totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet of GLA under construction. The estimated total investment as of June 30, 2024 is approximately $129,400. Of this amount, approximately $88,800 remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated total investment.

13. Subsequent Events

Subsequent to June 30, 2024, we sold a portfolio of seven industrial properties in a single transaction for a sales price of $81,750, excluding transaction costs.

General

The Company is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops and redevelops industrial real estate. The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). As of June 30, 2024, we owned 424 industrial properties located in 19 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 67.9 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 424 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.

We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner (the "General Partner"), with an approximate 97.3% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at June 30, 2024. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through several other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, wholly-owned by the Company, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100% ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 2.7% at June 30, 2024 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units"). 

Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own an equity interest in a joint venture (the "Joint Venture"). We also provide various services to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of the Joint Venture is not consolidated with that of the Operating Partnership or the Company as presented herein.

Management's Overview

Business Objectives and Growth Plans

Our fundamental business objective is to maximize the total return to the Company's stockholders and the Operating Partnership's partners by increasing our cash flow and property values. Our long-term business growth plans include the following elements:

•Internal Growth. We seek to grow internally by (i) increasing revenues by renewing or re-leasing spaces subject to expiring leases at higher rental levels; (ii) obtaining contractual rent escalations on our long-term leases; (iii) increasing occupancy levels at properties where vacancies exist and maintaining occupancy elsewhere; (iv) controlling and minimizing property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and releasing costs; and (v) renovating existing properties.

•External Growth. We seek to grow externally through (i) the development of best-in-class industrial properties and the acquisition of individual or portfolios of industrial properties which meet our investment parameters within our 15 key logistics markets, with a primary emphasis on coastal markets; (ii) the expansion of our existing properties; and (iii) securing additional joint venture investments.

•Portfolio Enhancement. We continually seek to upgrade our overall portfolio via new investments as well as through the sale of select assets that we believe do not exhibit favorable characteristics for long-term cash flow growth. We target new investments in 15 key logistics markets, with a primary emphasis on coastal markets, where developable land is more scarce and which exhibit desirable long-term growth characteristics. We seek to refine our portfolio over the coming years by focusing on bulk and regional warehouse properties and downsizing our light industrial holdings.

Our ability to pursue our long-term growth plans is affected by market conditions and our financial condition and operating capabilities.

Business Strategies

We utilize the following strategies in connection with the operation of our business:

•Organizational Strategy. We implement a decentralized property operations strategy through the deployment of experienced regional management teams and local property managers. We provide acquisition, development and financing assistance, asset management oversight and financial reporting functions from our headquarters in Chicago, Illinois to support our regional operations. We believe the size of our portfolio enables us to realize operating efficiencies by spreading overhead among many properties and by negotiating purchasing discounts.

•Market Strategy. Our market strategy is to concentrate on 15 key logistics markets in the United States, with a primary emphasis on coastal markets. These markets have one or more of the following characteristics: (i) favorable industrial real estate fundamentals, including improving industrial demand and constrained future supply that can lead to long-term rent growth; (ii) favorable economic and business environments that should benefit from increases in distribution activity driven by growth in global trade and local consumption; (iii) population growth as it generally drives industrial demand; (iv) natural barriers to entry and scarcity of land which are key elements in delivering future rent growth; and (v) sufficient size to provide ample opportunity for growth through incremental investments as well as offer asset liquidity.

•Leasing and Marketing Strategy. We have an operational management strategy designed to enhance tenant satisfaction and portfolio performance. We pursue an active leasing strategy, which includes broadly marketing available space, seeking to renew existing leases at higher rents while minimizing re-leasing costs and seeking leases which provide for the pass-through of property-related expenses to the tenant. We also have local and national marketing programs which focus on the business and real estate brokerage communities and multi-national tenants.

•Acquisition/Development Strategy. Our investment strategy is primarily focused on developing and acquiring industrial properties in 15 key logistics markets in the United States, with an emphasis on markets with a coastal orientation, through the deployment of experienced regional management teams. When evaluating potential industrial property acquisitions and developments, we consider such factors as: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the location, construction quality, functionality, condition and design of the property; (iii) the terms of tenant leases, including the potential for rent increases; (iv) the potential for economic growth and the general business, tax and regulatory environment of the area in which the property is located; (v) the occupancy and

30

demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the vicinity; (vi) competition from existing properties and the potential for the construction of new properties in the area; (vii) the potential for capital appreciation of the property; (viii) the ability to improve the property's performance through renovation; and (ix) the potential for expansion of the physical layout of the property and/or the number of sites.

•Disposition Strategy. We continually evaluate local market conditions and property-related factors in all of our markets for purposes of identifying assets suitable for disposition. We look to sell properties with lower rent growth prospects and/or assets with less than optimal functionality and redeploy the capital into higher rent growth assets in key logistics markets primarily with a coastal orientation. We also seek to shrink our holdings of light industrial assets over time.

•Financing Strategy. To finance acquisitions, developments and debt maturities, as market conditions permit, we may utilize a portion of proceeds from property sales, unsecured debt offerings, term loans, mortgage financings and line of credit borrowings under our $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities. We also continually evaluate joint venture arrangements as another source of capital to finance acquisitions and developments.

Summary of the Six Months Ended June 30, 2024

Our operating results were strong during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Our quarter end in-service occupancy was 95.3% and for new and renewal leases that commenced during the six months ended June 30, 2024, we increased cash rental rates by 44.2% (43.4% during the second quarter). At June 30, 2024, we had four projects comprising 0.8 million square feet of GLA under development with an estimated investment of approximately $129.4 million.

During the six months ended June 30, 2024, we completed the following significant real estate activities:

•We executed seven leases at development properties with the following characteristics:

Metropolitan Area	Number of Properties	GLA Leased	% of Building Leased as of 6/30/24
Chicago	1	119,840	73%
Houston	1	212,280	50%
Nashville	1	500,240	100%
Northern California	1	1,015,791	100%
Philadelphia	1	358,848	100%
Seattle	1	64,341	100%
South Florida	1	46,257	34%
Total	7	2,317,597

Additionally, we fully leased an industrial building comprised of 0.4 million square feet of GLA in our Joint Venture to two tenants.

In July 2024, we executed two additional leases covering 0.5 million square feet of GLA at development properties located in the Inland Empire and Denver markets.

•We acquired one industrial property comprised of approximately 0.05 million square feet of GLA located in our Southern California market for a purchase price of $15.8 million, excluding transaction costs.

•We commenced speculative development of three industrial buildings totaling 0.7 million square feet of GLA in our Houston and South Florida markets.

•We sold 10 industrial properties comprising approximately 0.5 million square feet of GLA for gross proceeds of $56.5 million.

Our significant financing activities during the six months ended June 30, 2024 were:

•We declared first and second quarter cash dividends of $0.37 per common share or Unit per quarter, an increase of 15.6% from the 2023 quarterly rate.

•At June 30, 2024, we had $450.5 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $46.0 million, after excluding our Joint Venture partner's 6% share of cash and cash equivalents that we consolidate and report in our financial statements. Assuming the exercise of extension options in two of our bank loans, our next debt maturity is not until 2026.

Results of Operations

The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2023 and held as an in-service property through June 30, 2024 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2023. Properties that are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service, unless we anticipate tenant move-outs within two years of ownership would drop occupancy below 75%. Properties that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition are placed in service as they reach the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year subsequent to acquisition. Developments, redevelopments and acquired income-producing land parcels for which our ultimate intent is to redevelop or develop on the land parcel are placed in service as they reach the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year subsequent to development/redevelopment construction completion. Acquired properties with occupancy greater than 75% at acquisition, but with tenants that we anticipate will move out within two years of ownership, will be placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or twelve months after move out. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2022 and held as an operating property through June 30, 2024. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2022. Developments and redevelopments (collectively referred to as "(Re)Developments") include (re)developments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2023; or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2023. Other revenues are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, interest income, joint venture fees and other miscellaneous revenues. Other property expenses are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, vacant land expenses and other miscellaneous regional expenses.

Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition, (re)development and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.

Revenues from same store properties increased $12.6 million primarily due to increases in rental rates and tenant recoveries, offset by a decrease in occupancy. Revenues from acquired properties increased $1.6 million due to the five industrial properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2022 totaling approximately 0.2 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from sold properties decreased $3.5 million due to the 21 industrial properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2022 totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments increased $13.2 million due to an increase in occupancy and tenant recoveries. Revenues from other increased $0.9 million primarily due to revenues from income-producing land parcels for which our ultimate intent is to redevelop or develop in the future, offset by a decrease in joint venture fees and legal settlement proceeds.

Property expenses from (re)developments increased $4.4 million primarily due to the substantial completion of developments. Property expenses from other remained relatively unchanged.

General and administrative expense increased by $2.5 million, or 13.4%, primarily due to an increase in equity compensation amortization expense due to certain tenured employees that are retirement eligible, or will become retirement eligible prior to the normal vesting schedule, which requires the acceleration of expense.

Joint Venture development services expense, which relates to expenses paid to a third party to assist with the development of properties in the Joint Venture, decreased by $1.3 million, or 62.6%, due to a decrease in development costs incurred by our Joint Venture during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At June 30, 2024, our cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash was approximately $46.0 million, after excluding our Joint Venture partner's share of cash and cash equivalents that we consolidate and report in our financial statements. We also had $450.5 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility as of June 30, 2024.

We have considered our short-term (through June 30, 2025) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company's REIT qualification under the Code and distributions approved by the Company's Board of Directors. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating activities as well as the disposition of select assets. These needs may also be met by the issuance of other debt or equity securities, subject to market conditions, or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

We expect to meet long-term (after June 30, 2025) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through the disposition of select assets, long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities, subject to market conditions.

Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if we fail to meet any of these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of June 30, 2024, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants for the next twelve months.

As of July 18, 2024, we had approximately $498.5 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.

Our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch Ratings of BBB/Stable, Baa2/Stable and BBB/Positive, respectively. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient capital. However, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.

Cash Flow Activity

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the Company for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	2024		2023
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	170,234	$	156,109
Net cash used in investing activities	(71,879)		(251,105)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(95,651)		17,976

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity for the Operating Partnership for the six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023:

	2024		2023
	(In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities	$	170,258	$	156,112
Net cash used in investing activities	(71,879)		(251,105)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(95,675)		17,973

Changes in cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2024, compared to the prior year comparable period are described as follows:

Operating Activities: Cash provided by operating activities increased $14.1 million, primarily due to the following:

•increase in net operating income ("NOI") from same store properties, acquired properties and recently developed properties of $17.7 million offset by a decrease in NOI due to the disposition of real estate of $2.3 million; and

•decrease of $6.0 million in income tax provision; offset by:

◦decrease in distributions from our Joint Venture of $4.2 million in 2024 as compared to 2023; and

◦increase of $8.0 million in interest expense.

Investing Activities: Cash used in investing activities decreased $179.2 million, primarily due to the following:

•decrease of $134.4 million related to the acquisition, development and investment in real estate attributable to fewer acquisitions and a reduction in expenditures related to developments under construction during the six months ended June 30, 2024 as compared to the six months ended June 30, 2023;

•increase of $39.1 million in net proceeds received from the disposition of real estate in 2024 as compared to 2023; and

•decrease of $2.7 million in contributions to the Joint Venture in 2024 as compared to 2023.

Financing Activities: Cash used in financing activities was $95.7 million for the six months ended June 30, 2024 compared to $18.0 million provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 30, 2023, resulting in a decrease of cash provided by financing activities of $113.6 million, primarily due to the following:

•decrease in net borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility of $115.0 million in 2024 as compared to 2023; and

•increase in dividend and unit distributions of $10.4 million due to the Company increasing the dividend rate in 2024 as well as an increase in common shares and units outstanding; offset by:

◦decrease in distributions to noncontrolling interests of $11.3 million in 2024 as compared to 2023.

Market Risk

The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes "forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, as described below.

Interest Rate Risk

The following analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments that are held by us at June 30, 2024 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.

In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.

At June 30, 2024, $1,933.3 million, or 86.6%, of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. As of the same date, $299.0 million, or 13.4%, of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was variable rate debt. At December 31, 2023, $1,933.5 million, or 86.6%, of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. As of the same date, $299.0 million, or 13.4%, of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was variable rate debt. At June 30, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the fixed rate debt amounts include variable rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of derivative instruments with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $925.0 million that mitigate our exposure to our Unsecured Term Loans' variable interest rates, which are currently based on SOFR. The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage the negative effects that increases in interest rates would have on our earnings and cash flows. We designated all of the swaps related to our Unsecured Term Loans as cash flow hedges. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the base interest rate used to calculate the all-in interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.

Our variable rate debt is subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. If the SOFR rate component relevant to our variable rate debt were to have increased 10%, we estimate that our interest expense during the six months ended June 30, 2024 would have increased by approximately $0.9 million based on our average outstanding floating-rate debt during the six months ended June 30, 2024. Additionally, if weighted average interest rates on our weighted average fixed rate debt during the six months ended June 30, 2024 were to have increased by 10% due to refinancing, interest expense would have increased by approximately $3.7 million during the six months ended June 30, 2024.

As of June 30, 2024, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately $2,132.9 million based on our estimate of the then-current market interest rates.

Supplemental Earnings Measure

Investors in and industry analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations ("FFO") and NOI as supplemental operating performance measures of an equity REIT. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time through depreciation. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors prefer to supplement operating results that use historical cost accounting with measures such as FFO and NOI, among others. We provide information related to FFO and same store NOI ("SS NOI") both because such industry analysts are interested in such information, and because our management believes FFO and SS NOI are important performance measures. FFO and SS NOI are factors used by management in measuring our performance, including for purposes of determining the compensation of our executive officers under our 2024 incentive compensation plan.

Neither FFO nor SS NOI should be considered as a substitute for net income, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Neither FFO nor SS NOI represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and neither should be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.

Funds From Operations

The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has recognized and defined for the real estate industry a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance, FFO, that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO is calculated by us in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In accordance with the NAREIT definition of FFO, we calculate FFO to be equal to net income available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stockholders and participating securities, plus depreciation and other amortization of real estate, plus impairment of real estate, minus gain or plus loss on sale of real estate, net of any income tax provision or benefit associated with the sale of real estate. We also exclude the same adjustments from our share of net income from an unconsolidated joint venture.

Management believes that the use of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities, combined with net income (which remains the primary measure of performance), improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management believes that, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of real estate assets, impairment of real estate assets and real estate asset depreciation and amortization, investors and analysts are able to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT's activity and use these operating results for assistance in comparing these operating results between periods or to those of different companies.

The following table shows a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders and participating securities to the calculation of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.

	Three Months Ended June 30,				Six Months Ended June 30,

Same Store Net Operating Income

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

The following table shows a reconciliation of the same store revenues and property expenses disclosed in the results of operations (and reconciled to revenues and expenses reflected on the statements of operations) to SS NOI for the three and six months ended June 30, 2024 and 2023.
