ITEM 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and related Notes included in Item 1 of this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025, as filed with the United States (“U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”).
The statements in this report that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate as well as management’s beliefs and assumptions. Such statements involve uncertainties that could significantly impact our financial results. Words such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “aims,” and “estimates,” including variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, acquisition and development activity, including data center developments and power procurement related thereto, contribution and disposition activity, general conditions in the geographic areas where we operate, expectations regarding new lines of business, our debt, capital structure and financial position, our ability to earn revenues from co-investment ventures or form new co-investment ventures and the availability of capital in existing or new co-investment ventures — are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained, and therefore actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) international, national, regional and local economic and political climates and conditions; (ii) changes in global financial markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; (iii) increased or unanticipated competition for our properties; (iv) risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties, including the integration of the operations of significant real estate portfolios; (v) maintenance of Real Estate Investment Trust (“REIT”) status, tax structuring and changes in income tax laws and rates; (vi) availability of financing and capital, the levels of debt that we maintain and our credit ratings; (vii) risks related to our investments in and management of our co-investment ventures, including our ability to establish new co-investment ventures; (viii) risks of doing business internationally, including currency risks; (ix) environmental uncertainties, including risks of natural disasters; (x) risks related to global pandemics; and (xi) those additional factors discussed under Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2025. We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this report except as may be required by law.
Prologis, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed REIT and is the sole general partner of Prologis, L.P. through which it holds substantially all of its assets. We operate Prologis, Inc. and Prologis, L.P. as one enterprise and, therefore, our discussion and analysis refers to Prologis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including Prologis, L.P. We invest in real estate through wholly owned subsidiaries and other entities through which we co-invest with partners and investors ("co-investment ventures"). We have a significant ownership interest in the co-investment ventures, which are either consolidated or unconsolidated based on our level of control of the entity.
We operate, manage and measure the operating performance of our properties on an owned and managed (“O&M”) basis. Our O&M portfolio includes our consolidated properties as well as properties owned by our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, which we manage. We make operating decisions based on our total O&M portfolio as we manage the properties without regard to their ownership. We also evaluate our results based on our proportionate economic ownership of each property included in the O&M portfolio (“our share”).
Included in our discussion below are references to funds from operations (“FFO”) and net operating income (“NOI”), neither of which are U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”). See below for a reconciliation of Net Earnings Attributable to Common Stockholders/Unitholders in the Consolidated Statements of Income to our FFO measures and a reconciliation of NOI to Operating Income in the Consolidated Statements of Income, the most directly comparable GAAP measures.
MANAGEMENT'S OVERVIEW
Prologis is the global leader in logistics real estate, operating in high-barrier, high-growth markets across 20 countries on four continents. Our portfolio is concentrated in key commercial hubs strategically located near end consumers to enable the efficient flow of goods. We own, manage and develop high-quality logistics facilities and deliver integrated infrastructure solutions that optimize how our customers operate within our buildings. Our services address the evolving needs of modern supply chains, including the growing convergence of physical, digital and energy infrastructure, as logistics facilities increasingly support power and data-intensive operations. Consistent with this strategy, we are leveraging our development capabilities, energy solutions and strategic locations to deliver digital infrastructure requirements through selective development of data centers.
Logistics real estate demand is driven by the essential role supply chains play in the global economy and heightened by several long-term structural factors. These include: (i) customers repositioning their supply chains to meet rising e-commerce penetration and service expectations; (ii) growth in global consumption; (iii) an increased focus on supply chain efficiency and resiliency; and (iv) the need for modern, well-located facilities to support evolving distribution and fulfillment requirements. We believe these factors will

Index
continue to support demand for logistics space and relatively low vacancy rates over the long term. In the near term, while economic and geopolitical uncertainty has increased, our proprietary metrics and customer dialogue continue to indicate that customers are engaged and moving forward with real estate decisions.
Our teams actively manage our portfolio by delivering comprehensive real estate services, including leasing, property management, development, acquisition and disposition expertise. We invest significant capital into new properties through acquisition and development activity, including build-to-suit development, speculative development and redevelopment of properties into industrial properties and data centers. Proceeds from property dispositions, typically through contributions of newly developed properties to our co-investment ventures, data center sales or sales of non-strategic assets to third parties, allow us to recycle capital back into our ongoing investment activities, providing the ability to realize long-term value creation.
While the majority of our properties in the U.S. are wholly owned, we also hold significant ownership interest in properties both in the U.S. and internationally through our investment in co-investment ventures. Partnering with many of the world’s largest institutional investors through co-investment ventures broadens our access to capital and allows us to expand our investment capacity and enhance and diversify our returns through a combination of co-investment performance and recurring fee-based income from asset management and related services, while mitigating our exposure to foreign currency movements.
Our scale and customer-focused strategy have driven us to expand the services we offer. Our 1.3 billion square foot portfolio serves as the foundation for a comprehensive platform of solutions that address the challenges our customers face in global fulfillment today. Leveraging this scale, we deliver integrated solutions that support our customers’ operational and energy needs. Our customer experience teams and proprietary technology are central to how we operate and enable us to provide differentiated insights and scalable infrastructure solutions that help customers improve performance and build resilience. The principles of environmental, social and governance are embedded in our business strategy through an integrated approach to global impact and sustainability, which we believe creates value for our customers, investors, employees and communities.
Our Global Presence
At March 31, 2026, we owned or had investments in, on a wholly owned basis or through co-investment ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 1.3 billion square feet across the following geographies:
Throughout this discussion, amounts are presented in U.S. dollars, our reporting currency. Included in these amounts are consolidated and unconsolidated investments denominated in foreign currencies, principally the British pound sterling, Canadian dollar, euro and Japanese yen that are impacted by fluctuations in exchange rates when translated to U.S. dollars. We mitigate our exposure to foreign currency fluctuations by investing outside the U.S. through co-investment ventures, borrowing in the functional currency of our subsidiaries and utilizing derivative financial instruments.

Index
Our business comprises two reportable segments: Real Estate (Rental Operations and Development) and Strategic Capital.
Below is information summarizing consolidated activity within our segments (in millions):
(1)
NOI from the Real Estate Segment is calculated directly from the Consolidated Financial Statements as Rental Revenues and Development Management and Other Revenues less Rental Expenses and Other Expenses. NOI from the Strategic Capital Segment is calculated directly from the Consolidated Financial Statements as Strategic Capital Revenues less Strategic Capital Expenses.
(2)
A developed property moves into the operating portfolio when it meets our definition of stabilization, which is the earlier of when a property that was developed has been completed for one year or is 90% occupied. Amounts represent our total expected investment ("TEI") upon stabilization, which includes the estimated cost of development or expansion, including land, construction and leasing costs.
Real Estate Segment
Rental Operations. Rental operations comprise the largest component of our reportable segments and generally contributes 90% to 95% of our consolidated revenues, earnings and FFO. We collect rent from our customers through operating leases, including reimbursements for the majority of our property operating costs. Through our global footprint, we have a diversified lease portfolio and our revenues from in-place leases are contractual with fixed or inflation-linked escalations. For the trailing twelve months ended March 31, 2026, the weighted average lease term for leases commenced in our consolidated operating portfolio was 67 months. We expect to generate earnings growth by increasing rents, maintaining high o

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report and the matters described under Item 1A. Risk Factors.
A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for 2025 compared to 2024 is presented below. Information on 2023 is included in graphs only to show year over year trends in our results of operations and operating metrics. Our financial condition for 2023, results of operations for 2023, and 2024 compared to 2023 are referenced throughout this document and can be found under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which is incorporated by reference herein to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2024, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2025, and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our Investor Relations website at ir.prologis.com.
MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW
Summary of 2025
Our operating results and leasing activity remained resilient in 2025, with performance strengthening as the year progressed, despite economic disruption related to tariff policy proposals announced in April. Leasing activity in our consolidated portfolio remained healthy, supported by improved customer sentiment and market conditions, with 112 million square feet of new leases signed during the year (228 million square feet on an O&M basis).
Our results during 2025 continued to reflect the favorable mark-to-market of our existing leases, reflecting increases in market rents over the past several years. As a result, rent change on rollover and same-store growth in our O&M portfolio remained strong. This lease mark-to-market remained meaningfully positive at 18% (on an NER and our share basis), despite recent quarters of lower, or in some cases negative, market rental growth, reflecting the accumulated rent growth embedded in our in-place leases that remains to be realized.
These factors contributed to occupancy in our operating portfolio of 95.6% at December 31, 2025, and rent change on leases that commenced during the year of 50.1% on a net effective basis, both metrics based on our ownership share.
Demand conditions were also evident in our development activity. We focused on starting build-to-suit projects during 2025 and commenced $2.9 billion of consolidated development projects, of which 60.9% were build-to-suit projects.
While we believe we are well-positioned for long-term revenue growth, supported by embedded rent growth in our in-place portfolio and our development pipeline, the potential impact of ongoing economic uncertainty on our business, future financial condition and operating results remains difficult to predict.
We completed the following significant activities in 2025, as described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements:
•
We generated net proceeds of $2.7 billion and realized net gains on real estate transactions of $944 million, principally from the contribution of properties we developed to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in the U.S. and Europe and sales to third parties in the U.S., including a data center.
•
In December, we listed China AMC Prologis Logistics REIT ("Prologis C-REIT") on the Shenzhen Stock Exchange. The Prologis C-REIT purchased properties from our open-ended venture in China. At December 31, 2025, we owned 20.7% of the venture.
•
At December 31, 2025, we had total available liquidity of $7.6 billion, including available capacity on our credit facilities of $6.5 billion and unrestricted cash balances of $1.1 billion.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We evaluate our business operations based on the NOI of our two reportable segments: Real Estate (Rental Operations and Development) and Strategic Capital. NOI by segment is a non-GAAP performance measure that is calculated using revenues and expenses directly from our financial statements. We consider NOI by segment to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance because it helps management and investors understand our operating results.
Below is our NOI by segment per the Consolidated Financial Statements and a reconciliation of NOI by segment to Operating Income per the Consolidated Financial Statements (in millions):

Real Estate Segment
This reportable segment principally includes rental revenue and rental expenses recognized from our consolidated properties. This segment also includes the operating results of our renewable energy assets. We allocate the costs of our property management and leasing functions to the Real Estate Segment through Rental Expenses and the Strategic Capital Segment through Strategic Capital

The $471 million change in Real Estate Segment (“RES”) NOI in 2025 compared to 2024, was impacted by the following activities (in millions):
(1)
Significant rent change due to higher rental rates on the rollover of leases during both periods continues to be a key driver of increasing rental income. See below for key metrics on rent change on rollover and occupancy.
(2)
We calculate changes in NOI from development completions period over period by comparing the change in NOI generated on the pool of developments that completed on or after January 1, 2024 through December 31, 2025.
Below are key operating metrics of our consolidated operating portfolio:
(1) Consolidated square feet of leases commenced and weighted average net effective rent change were calculated for leases with initial terms of one year or greater.

| Estimated weighted average margin (2) | 25.4 | % | 19.2 | % | ||||
| Estimated value creation | $ | 577 | $ | 793 |
(1)
We calculate the weighted average stabilized yield as estimated NOI assuming stabilized occupancy divided by TEI.
(2)
Estimated weighted average margin is calculated on development properties as estimated value creation, less estimated closing costs and taxes, if any, on properties expected to be sold or contributed, divided by TEI. Development margins fluctuate depending on several factors including cost of capital, changes in capitalization rates that are used to estimate value at completion and location and type of development, such as build-to-suit or speculative.
At December 31, 2025, the consolidated development portfolio, including properties under development and pre-stabilized properties, was expected to be completed before September 2027 with a TEI of $5.1 billion and was 53.5% leased, including $686 million of TEI for data centers. Our investment in the development portfolio was $3.0 billion at December 31, 2025. For additional information on our development portfolio at December 31, 2025, see Item 2. Properties.
Capital Expenditures
We capitalize costs incurred in improving and leasing our consolidated operating properties and other real estate investments as part of the investment basis or within Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following graph summarizes capitalized expenditures and leasing costs during each year and excludes development costs and spend subsequent to stabilization that is structural in nature:
Strategic Capital Segment
This reportable segment includes revenues from asset management and property management services, transactional services for acquisition, disposition and leasing activity and promote revenue earned from the unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Revenues associated with the Strategic Capital Segment fluctuate because of changes in the size of the portfolios through acquisitions and dispositions, the fair value of the properties, timing of promotes, foreign currency exchange rates and other transactional activity. These revenues are reduced by the direct costs associated with the asset and property-level management expenses for the properties owned by these ventures. We allocate the costs of our property management and leasing functions to the Strategic Capital Segment through

The U.S. expenses include compensation and personnel costs for employees who are based in the U.S. but also support other geographies.
(2)
Recurring fees include asset management and property management fees.
(3)
Transactional fees include leasing commissions, acquisition, disposition, development and other fees.
(4)
We generally earn promote revenue directly from third-party investors in the co-investment ventures based on the cumulative returns of the venture over a three-year period or the stabilization of individual development projects owned by the venture. Changes in asset valuations within the co-investment ventures during the promote period is one of the significant inputs to the calculation of promote revenues.
The Prologis Promote Plan ("PPP") awards up to 25% of the third-party portion of the promotes earned by us from the co-investment ventures to our employees. This award is issued as a combination of cash and equity-based awards, pursuant to the terms of the PPP and expensed through Strategic Capital Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income, as vested. As a result, expenses recognized in the current period may relate to promote revenues recognized in prior periods.
G&A Expenses
G&A expenses were $469 million and $419 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively. G&A expenses increased in 2025 compared to 2024, principally due to inflationary increases and higher compensation expenses including additions in our workforce in growth areas of the business. We capitalize certain internal costs that are incremental and directly related to our development and building improvement activities.
The following table summarizes capitalized G&A expenses (dollars in millions):

Table of Contents
The $46 million change in depreciation and amortization expenses in 2025 compared to 2024, was impacted by the following items (in millions):
Gains on Real Estate Transactions, Net
Gains on the disposition of development properties and land were $258 million and $414 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively, principally from the contribution of properties we developed to unconsolidated co-investment ventures in Europe and the U.S. in 2025 and the U.S., Mexico and Europe in 2024, and from sales to third parties in the U.S. in 2025.
Gains on other dispositions of investments in real estate were $686 million and $904 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively, principally from the sales of properties to third parties and the contribution of operating properties to our unconsolidated co-investment venture in the U.S. during both years.
Historically, we have utilized the proceeds from these dispositions primarily to fund our acquisition and development activities. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these transactions.
Our Owned and Managed (“O&M”) Operating Portfolio
We manage our business and evaluate operating performance on an O&M basis, which includes our consolidated properties and properties owned by our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We believe reviewing the results on this basis enables management to assess performance more comprehensively as we manage the properties without regard to their ownership. We do not control the unconsolidated co-investment ventures for purposes of GAAP and the presentation of the ventures’ operating information does not represent a legal claim.
Our O&M operating portfolio excludes our development portfolio, value-added properties, non-industrial properties and properties we consider non-strategic that we do not intend to hold for the long term, including those classified as held for sale or within other real estate investments. Value-added properties are properties we have either acquired at a discount and believe we could provide greater returns post-stabilization or properties we expect to repurpose to higher uses. See below for information on our O&M operating portfolio at December 31 (square feet in millions):

Below are the key leasing metrics of our O&M operating portfolio.
(1)
Square feet of leases commenced and weighted average net effective rent change were calculated for leases with initial terms of one year or greater. We retained approximately 70% or more of our customers, based on the total square feet of leases commenced, for each year.
(2)
Turnover costs include external leasing commissions and tenant improvements and represent the estimated obligations incurred in connection with the lease commencement for leases greater than one year.
Same Store Analysis
Our same store metrics are non-GAAP financial measures, which are commonly used in the real estate industry and expected from the financial community, on both a net effective and cash basis. We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a “same store” analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, which allows us and investors to analyze our ongoing business operations. We determine our same store metrics on property NOI, which is calculated as rental revenue less rental expense for the applicable properties in the same store population for both consolidated and unconsolidated properties based on our ownership interest, as further defined below.
We define our same store population for the three months ended December 31, 2025 as the properties in our O&M operating portfolio, including the property NOI for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the unconsolidated co-investment ventures, at January 1, 2024 and owned throughout the same three-month period in both 2024 and 2025. We believe the drivers of property NOI for the consolidated portfolio are generally the same for the properties owned by the ventures in which we invest and therefore we evaluate the same store metrics of the O&M portfolio based on Prologis’ ownership in the properties (“Prologis Share”). The same store population excludes properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period (January 1, 2024) and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. To derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the reported period-end exchange rate to translate from local currency into the U.S. dollar, for both periods.

As non-GAAP financial measures, the same store metrics have certain limitations as an analytical tool and may vary among real estate companies. As a result, we provide a reconciliation of Rental Revenues less Rental Expenses (“Property NOI”) (from our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to our Same Store Property NOI measures.
We evaluate the results of our same store portfolio on a quarterly basis. The following is a reconciliation of our consolidated rental revenues, rental expenses and property NOI for each quarter in 2025 and 2024 to the full year, as included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and within Note 18 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and to the respective amounts in our same store portfolio analysis for the three months ended December 31 (dollars in millions):

We exclude properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the periods and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the periods. We also exclude one-time items due to early lease terminations, including termination fees received from customers and the write-off of related lease assets and liabilities, that are not indicative of the property’s recurring operating performance in order to evaluate the growth or decline in each property's rental revenues. Same Store Property NOI is adjusted to include an allocation of property management expenses for our consolidated properties based on the property management services provided to each property (generally, based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, these amounts are eliminated and the actual costs of providing property management and leasing services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expense.
(2)
We include the Property NOI for the same store portfolio for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the co-investment ventures based on our investment in the underlying properties. In order to calculate our share of Same Store Property NOI from the co-investment ventures in which we own less than 100%, we use the co-investment ventures’ underlying Property NOI for the same store portfolio and apply our ownership percentage at December 31, 2025 to the Property NOI for both periods, including the properties contributed during the periods. We adjust the total Property NOI from the same store portfolio of the co-investment ventures by subtracting the third parties’ share of both consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures.
During the periods presented, certain wholly owned properties were contributed to a co-investment venture and are included in the same store portfolio. Neither our consolidated results nor those of the co-investment ventures, when viewed individually,
36

would be comparable on a same store basis because of the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (e.g. the results of a contributed property are included in our consolidated results through the contribution date and in the results of the venture subsequent to the contribution date based on our ownership interest at the end of the period). As a result, only line items labeled “Prologis Share of Same Store Property NOI” are comparable period over period.
(3)
We further remove certain noncash items (straight-line rent and fair value lease amortization) included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to reflect a Same Store Property NOI – Cash measure.
We manage our business and compensate our executives based on the same store results of our O&M portfolio at 100% as we manage our portfolio on an ownership blind basis. We calculate those results by including 100% of the properties included in our same store portfolio.
Other Components of Income (Expense)
Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net
We recognized net earnings from unconsolidated entities, which are primarily accounted for using the equity method, of $403 million and $354 million during 2025 and 2024, respectively.
The earnings we recognize from unconsolidated entities can be impacted by: (i) the size, rental rates and occupancy of the portfolio of properties owned by each venture; (ii) interest expense based on the size and terms of the debt; (iii) gains or losses from dispositions of properties, impairments and extinguishments of debt; (iv) our ownership interest in each venture; (v) other variances in revenues and expenses of each venture; and (vi) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate our share of net earnings to U.S. dollars.
See the discussion of our unconsolidated entities above in the Strategic Capital Segment discussion and in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further breakdown of our share of net earnings recognized.
Interest Expense
The following table details our net interest expense (dollars in millions):
| 2025 | 2024 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gross interest expense | $ | 1,024 | $ | 893 | ||||
| Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, net | 85 | 79 | ||||||

| Net interest expense | $ | 1,002 | $ | 864 | ||||
| Weighted average effective interest rate during the year | 3.2 | % | 3.1 | % |
Interest expense increased in 2025, as compared to 2024, principally due to the issuance of senior notes to finance acquisition and development activities with higher interest rates on new issuances. We issued $3.4 billion of senior notes during 2025 and $4.2 billion during 2024, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.2% and 4.8%, respectively, at the issuance date.
See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below, for further discussion of our debt and borrowing costs.
Foreign Currency, Derivative and Other Gains (Losses) and Other Income (Expense), Net
We recognized foreign currency, derivative and other gains (losses) and other income (expense), net, of $15 million and $209 million for 2025 and 2024, respectively. This activity resulted principally from three types of transactions during 2025 and 2024: (i) interest income earned on short-term investments and other income ($130 million and $88 million, respectively); (ii) realized gains on the settlement of undesignated derivatives ($11 million and $53 million, respectively); and (iii) unrealized changes in the fair value of undesignated derivatives and the remeasurement of the unhedged foreign debt that was designated as a nonderivative net investment hedge ($138 million of losses and $87 million of gains, respectively).
Given the global nature of our operations, we are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to investments in and earnings from our foreign investments. We primarily hedge our foreign currency risk related to our investments by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest thereby providing a natural hedge. We have issued debt in a currency that is not the same functional currency of the borrowing entity and have designated a portion of the debt as a nonderivative net investment hedge. We recognize the remeasurement and settlement of the translation adjustment on the unhedged portion of the debt and accrued interest in unrealized gains or losses. We may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our earnings. We recognize the change in fair value of the undesignated derivative contracts in unrealized gains and losses. Upon settlement of these transactions, we recognize realized gains or losses.
37
Table of Contents
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our foreign currency and derivative financial instrument policies and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our derivative and nonderivative transactions.
Income Tax Expense
We recognize income tax expense related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries and in the local, state and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Our current income tax expense (benefit) fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our taxable income, including gains on the disposition of properties, fees earned from the co-investment ventures and taxable earnings from unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences and the utilization of net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets in taxable subsidiaries.
The following table summarizes our income tax expense (benefit) (in millions):
| 2025 | 2024 | ||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current income tax expense (benefit): | |||||||
| Income tax expense (benefit) | $ | 173 | $ | 116 | |||

| Total income tax expense | $ | 204 | $ | 167 |
Our income taxes are discussed in more detail in Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the third-party investors’ share of the earnings generated in consolidated entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity, reduced by the third-party share of fees or promotes we earned during the period. We had net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests of $237 million and $216 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Included in these amounts were $81 million and $93 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, of net earnings attributable to the common limited partnership unitholders of Prologis, L.P.
See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our noncontrolling interests.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The key driver of changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI/L”) in the Consolidated Financial Statements in 2025 and 2024, was the currency translation adjustment derived from changes in exchange rates during both periods principally on our net investments in real estate outside the U.S. and the borrowings we issue in the functional currencies of the countries where we invest. These borrowings serve as a natural hedge of our foreign investments. In addition, we use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our foreign investments and interest rate contracts to manage interest rate risk, that when designated the change in fair value is included in AOCI/L.
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our foreign currency and derivative financial instrument policies and Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our derivative and nonderivative transactions and other comprehensive income (loss).
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
See Note 15 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about environmental liabilities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
We believe our ability to generate cash from operating activities, distributions from our co-investment ventures, contributions and dispositions of properties and available financing sources provides sufficient capacity to meet our anticipated future development, acquisition, operating, debt service, dividend and distribution requirements.
38
Table of Contents
Near-Term Principal Cash Sources and Uses
In addition to dividends and distributions, we expect our primary cash needs will consist of the following:
•
completion of the development and leasing of the properties in our consolidated development portfolio (at December 31, 2025, 77 properties in our development portfolio were 53.5% leased with a current investment of $3.0 billion and a TEI of $5.1 billion when completed and leased, leaving $2.1 billion of estimated additional required investment);
•
development of new industrial properties that we may hold for long-term investment or subsequently contribute to unconsolidated co-investment ventures or sell to third parties, including the acquisition of land;
•
development of data centers, including capital for the acquisition of land, site preparation, power procurement activities to secure long-term energy capacity and turnkey data center infrastructure and equipment;
•
the acquisition of other real estate investments that we acquire with the intention of redeveloping into industrial properties and data centers;
•
capital expenditures and leasing costs on properties in our operating portfolio;
•
investments in renewable energy, energy storage and mobility infrastructure to serve our customers and achieve our sustainability goals;
•
repayment of debt and scheduled principal payments of $1.9 billion in 2026;
•
additional investments in current and future co-investment ventures and other ventures; and
•
the acquisition of operating properties or portfolios of operating properties (depending on market and other conditions), for direct, long-term investment in our consolidated portfolio (this might include acquisitions from our unconsolidated entities).
We expect to fund our cash needs principally from the following sources (subject to market conditions):
•
net cash flow from property operations;
•
fees earned for services performed on behalf of co-investment ventures;
•
distributions received from co-investment ventures;
•
proceeds from the contribution of properties to current or future co-investment ventures;
•
proceeds from the disposition of properties or other investments to third parties;
•
available unrestricted cash balances ($1.1 billion at December 31, 2025);
•
available capacity under our current credit facility arrangements that allows us to borrow on a short-term basis, with maturities generally ranging from overnight to three months ($6.5 billion available at December 31, 2025), including our commercial paper programs; and
•
proceeds from the issuance of debt.
In the long term, we may also voluntarily repurchase our outstanding debt or equity securities (depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity, contractual restrictions and other factors) through cash purchases, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. We may also fund our cash needs from the issuance of equity securities, subject to market conditions, and through the sale of a portion of our investments in co-investment ventures.

The weighted average remaining term for total debt outstanding at both December 31, 2025 and 2024 was 9 years.
At December 31, 2025, our credit ratings were A from Standard and Poor's and A2 from Moody's, both with stable outlooks. These ratings support our ability to access capital at favorable interest rates. Adverse changes to our credit ratings could negatively affect our business and our future growth, particularly our refinancing and capital markets activities, our ability to manage debt maturities and our development and acquisition plans. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and may be revised or withdrawn at any time by the issuing agency.
At December 31, 2025, we were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants. These covenants include customary financial covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage, leverage and fixed charge coverage ratios.
See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our debt.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by and used in operating activities, exclusive of changes in receivables and payables, was impacted by the following significant activities:
•
Real Estate Segment. We generate the majority of our operating cash through the net revenues of our Real Estate Segment, including the recovery of our operating costs. Cash flows generated by the Real Estate Segment are impacted by our acquisition, development and disposition activities, which are among the drivers of NOI recognized during each period. See the Results of Operations section above for further explanation of our Real Estate Segment. The revenues from this segment include noncash adjustments for straight-lined rents and amortization of above and below market leases of $691 million and $645 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
•
Strategic Capital Segment. We also generate operating cash through the fee revenue from our Strategic Capital Segment by providing asset management and property management and other services to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. See the Results of Operations section above for the key drivers of the net revenues from our Strategic Capital Segment. Included in Strategic Capital Revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Income are the promotes we earn from the third-party investors in our co-investment ventures, which are recognized in operating activities in the period the cash is received, generally the quarter after the revenue is recognized.
•
G&A expenses and equity-based compensation awards. We incurred $469 million and $419 million of G&A expenses in 2025 and 2024, respectively. We recognized equity-based, noncash compensation expenses of $185 million and $232 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, which were recorded to Rental Expenses in the Real Estate Segment, Strategic Capital Expenses in the Strategic Capital Segment and G&A Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
•
Operating distributions from unconsolidated entities. We received $645 million and $562 million of distributions as a return on our investment from the cash flows generated from the operations of our unconsolidated entities in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
•
Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized. We paid interest, net of amounts capitalized, of $842 million and $711 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this activity.
•
Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds. We paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $143 million and $130 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Note 12 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this activity.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities is driven by proceeds from the sale of real estate assets that include the contribution of properties we developed to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures as well as the sale of data centers and non-strategic operating properties. Cash used in investing activities is principally driven by our capital deployment activities of investing in the development of operating properties and data centers, acquisitions and capital expenditures as discussed above. Acquisition activity includes operating properties, real estate portfolios, land for future development and other real estate assets that we acquired with the intent to redevelop in the future. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these activities. In addition, the following significant transactions also impacted our cash used in and provided by investing activities:
•
Investments in and advances to our unconsolidated entities. We invested cash in our unconsolidated entities of $312 million and $541 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing our proportionate share, for the acquisition of properties, development and repayment of debt by the ventures. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on our unconsolidated co-investment ventures.
•
Return of investment from unconsolidated entities. We received distributions from unconsolidated entities as a return of investment of $104 million and $58 million in 2025 and 2024, respectively, representing our proportionate share. Included in these amounts were distributions from venture activities, including proceeds from property sales, debt refinancing and the redemption of our investment in certain unconsolidated entities.
•
Net proceeds from (payments on) the settlement of net investment hedges. We made net payments of $21 million and received net proceeds of $13 million for the settlement of net investment hedges in 2025 and 2024, respectively. See Note 14 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our derivative transactions.
•
Purchase of short-term investments. We invested €150 million ($177 million at December 31, 2025) of cash into a short-term money market with a maturity of four months.

Financing Activities
Cash provided by and used in financing activities is principally driven by proceeds from and payments on credit facilities, commercial paper and other debt, along with dividends paid on common and preferred stock and noncontrolling interest contributions and distributions. Our credit facilities and our commercial paper support our cash needs for general corporate purposes on a short-term basis. The maturities of the borrowings under the credit facilities and the notes under the commercial paper programs generally range from overnight to three months.
Our repurchase of and payments on debt and proceeds from the issuance of debt consisted of the following activity (in millions):

Unconsolidated Co-Investment Venture Debt
We had investments in and advances to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures of $10.3 billion at December 31, 2025. These ventures had total third-party debt of $19.7 billion at December 31, 2025 with a weighted average remaining term of 6 years and weighted average interest rate of 3.5%. Certain of our ventures do not have third-party debt and are therefore excluded. This debt is non-recourse to Prologis and other investors in the co-investment ventures and bears interest as follows at December 31, 2025 (dollars in millions):

(1)
The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for all unconsolidated co-investment ventures was 30.1% at December 31, 2025 based on gross book value. Loan-to-value, a non-GAAP measure, was calculated as the percentage of total third-party debt to the gross book value of real estate for each venture and weighted based on the cumulative gross book value of all unconsolidated co-investment ventures.
At December 31, 2025, we did not guarantee any third-party debt of the unconsolidated co-investment ventures. In our role as the manager or sponsor, we work with the co-investment ventures to maintain sufficient liquidity and refinance their maturing debt. There can be no assurance that the co-investment ventures will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness on terms as favorable as the maturing debt, or at all. If the ventures are unable to refinance the maturing indebtedness with newly issued debt, they may be able to obtain funds by voluntary capital contributions from us and our partners or by selling assets. Certain of our ventures also have credit facilities, or unencumbered properties, both of which may be used to obtain funds.
Dividend and Distribution Requirements
Our dividend policy on our common stock is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure that we will meet the dividend requirements of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), relative to maintaining our REIT status, while still allowing us to retain cash to fund our capital deployment and other investment activities.
Under the IRC, REITs may be subject to certain federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income.

Outstanding Common Shares and Units Eligible for Dividends and Distributions
At December 31, 2025 the total outstanding shares of the Parent's common stock and common limited partnership units in the OP eligible for dividends and distributions were as follows (in thousands):
| Shares/Units | ||
|---|---|---|
| Common shares outstanding | 929,153 | |
| Common limited partnership units outstanding | 21,758 | |
| Total outstanding common shares and units eligible for dividends and distributions | 950,911 |
We paid quarterly cash dividends of $1.01 and $0.96 per common share in 2025 and 2024, respectively. Our future common stock dividends, if and as declared, may vary and will be determined by the Board based upon the circumstances prevailing at the time, including our financial condition, operating results and REIT distribution requirements, and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year.
We make distributions on the common limited partnership units outstanding at the same per unit amount as our common stock dividend.
Class A common limited partnership units ("Class A Units") Distributions
The Class A Units in the OP were entitled to a quarterly distribution equal to $0.64665 per unit so long as the common units received a quarterly distribution of at least $0.40 per unit. We paid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.64665 per Class A Unit in both 2025 and 2024, totaling $1.93995 per unit during the year ended December 31, 2025, and $2.58660 per unit during the year ended December 31, 2024. During the year ended December 31, 2025, all Class A Units were converted into common limited partnership units, leaving none outstanding to be converted at December 31, 2025.
Preferred Stock Dividends
At December 31, 2025, our Series Q preferred stock had an annual dividend rate of 8.54% per share and the dividends are payable quarterly in arrears.
Pursuant to the terms of our preferred stock, we are restricted from declaring or paying any dividend with respect to our common stock unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the preferred stock have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the relevant dividend period with respect to the preferred stock.
Other Commitments
On an ongoing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition or disposition of individual properties or portfolios of properties.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A critical accounting policy is one that involves an estimate or assumption that is subjective and requires management judgment about the effect of a matter that is inherently uncertain and material to an entity’s financial condition and results of operations. Management’s judgment considers historical and current economic conditions and expectations for the future. Changes in estimates could affect our financial position and specific items in our results of operations that are used by stockholders, potential investors, industry analysts and lenders in their evaluation of our performance. Of the significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, those presented below have been identified by us as meeting the criteria to be considered critical accounting policies for our financial condition at December 31, 2025, and 2024 and our operating results for the three-year period ended December 31, 2025. Refer to Note 2 for more information on these critical accounting policies.
Asset Acquisitions
We generally account for an acquisition of a single property or portfolio of properties as an asset acquisition. We measure the real estate assets acquired through an asset acquisition based on their cost or total consideration exchanged. The difference between the cost and the estimated fair value (excess or bargain consideration) is allocated to the real estate properties and related lease intangibles on a relative fair value basis. Assets we do not intend to hold long-term are recorded at fair value. At a property level, we allocate the fair value to the components, which include buildings, land, improvements, and intangible assets or liabilities related to acquired leases. The most significant portion of the allocation is to building and land and requires the use of market based estimates and assumptions.
The fair value of real estate properties subject to purchase price allocation is based on the expected future cash flows of the property and various characteristics of the markets where the property is located utilizing an income approach methodology, which may be a
43
Table of Contents
discounted cash flow analysis or applying a capitalization rate to the estimated net operating income of a property. Key assumptions may include market rents and capitalization rates. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends and market and economic conditions. We determine capitalization rates by market based on recent transactions and other market data and adjust if necessary, based on the property characteristics. The fair value of land is generally based on relevant market data, such as a comparison of the subject site to similar parcels that have recently been sold or are currently being offered on the market for sale. For acquisitions of a significant portfolio of properties, the use of different assumptions to value the acquired properties and allocate the most significant portion of the property value between the building and land could affect the depreciation expense we recognize over the estimated remaining useful life.
Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
We assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. This assessment is primarily triggered based on the shortening of the expected hold period due to a change in our intent to sell a property in the near term. We have processes to monitor our intent with regard to our investments and the estimated disposition value in comparison to the current carrying value. If our assessment of potential triggering events indicates that the carrying value of a property that we expect to sell in the near term is not recoverable, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the property. We determine the fair value of the property based on the estimated proceeds from disposition that are based on quoted market values, third-party appraisals or discounted cash flow models that utilize the future net operating income of the property and expected market capitalization rates. Changes in economic and operating conditions could impact our intent and the assumptions used in determining the fair value that could result in future impairment.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS/UNITHOLDERS (“FFO”)
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry, with net earnings as the most directly comparable GAAP measure.
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") defines FFO as earnings computed under GAAP to exclude depreciation and gains and losses from sales net of any related tax, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated properties. We exclude the gains on revaluation of equity investments upon acquisition of a controlling interest and the gain recognized from a partial sale of our investment, as these are similar to gains from the sales of previously depreciated properties. This measure excludes similar adjustments from our unconsolidated entities and the third parties' share of our consolidated ventures.
Our FFO Measures
Our FFO measures begin with NAREIT’s definition, with certain adjustments to calculate FFO, as modified by Prologis, and Core FFO, both as defined below, to reflect our business and execution of our management strategy. While these adjustments are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period, with both positive and negative short-term impacts, the removal of the effects of these items enhances our understanding of the core operating performance of our properties over the long term.
We use FFO, as modified by Prologis, so that management, analysts and investors are able to evaluate our performance against other REITs that do not have similar operations or operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S. We use Core FFO to (i) assess our operating performance as compared to other real estate companies; (ii) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods; (iii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iv) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (v) provide guidance to the financial markets to understand our expected operating performance; and (vi) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results.
We calculate our FFO measures based on our proportionate ownership share of both our unconsolidated entities and consolidated ventures. We reflect our share of our FFO measures for unconsolidated entities by applying our average ownership percentage for the period to the applicable adjustments on an entity-by-entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by removing the noncontrolling interests share of the applicable adjustments based on our average ownership percentage for the applicable periods.
FFO, as modified by Prologis attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“FFO, as modified by Prologis”)
To arrive at FFO, as modified by Prologis, we adjust the NAREIT defined FFO measure to exclude:
•
deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries;
44
Table of Contents
•
current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income tax benefit in earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure; and
•
foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from: (i) debt transactions between us and our foreign entities; (ii) third-party debt that is used to hedge our investment in foreign entities; (iii) derivative financial instruments related to any such debt transactions; and (iv) mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative and other financial instruments.
Core FFO attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“Core FFO”)
To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust FFO, as modified by Prologis, to exclude the following:
•
gains or losses from the disposition of land and development properties that were developed with the intent to contribute or sell;
•
income tax expense related to the sale of investments in real estate;
•
impairment charges recognized related to our investments in real estate generally as a result of our change in intent to contribute or sell these properties; and
•
gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt and redemption and repurchase of preferred stock.
Limitations on the use of our FFO measures
While we believe our modified FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREIT's nor our measures of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Some of these limitations arise from excluding income tax expense that may be payable or depreciation and amortization expenses that reflect costs necessary to maintain operating performance. In addition, our FFO measure does not reflect changes in asset values resulting from fluctuations in market conditions or foreign currency exchange rates nor costs or benefits from settlement of deferred income taxes or the extinguishment of debt. We do not use NAREIT's nor our measures of FFO as alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP or as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs. We compensate for the limitations by using our FFO measures only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP when making our decisions. This information should be read with our complete Consolidated Financial Statements prepared under GAAP. To assist investors in compensating for these limitations, we reconcile our modified FFO measures from consolidated net earnings attributable to common stockholders computed under GAAP as follows (in millions):

MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW
Summary of 2024
Our operating results were strong in 2024, despite the softening of rents and occupancy in our global logistics markets. Due to increases in market rents over the last several years, our existing lease mark-to-market continued to drive rent change on rollover and same-store growth in our O&M portfolio. This lease mark-to-market has remained meaningfully positive despite recent quarters of lower or even negative market rental growth due to the compounded nature of market rent growth. Our operating portfolio occupancy was 95.8% at December 31, 2024 and rent change on leases that commenced during the year was 68.7%, on a net effective basis, both metrics based on our ownership share.
In the near term, our proprietary metrics indicate renewed activity in customer leasing decisions as we entered 2025, despite the current economic and geopolitical environment. Additionally, we expect our development activity to increase as market conditions warrant. Overall, we believe we are well-positioned to organically grow revenues over the long-term, as our in-place leases have considerable upside potential to capture the cumulative growth in market rents over the last several years.
We completed the following significant activities in 2024, as described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements:
•
We generated net proceeds of $4.8 billion and realized net gains of $1.3 billion, principally from the contribution of properties to unconsolidated co-investment ventures in the U.S. and Europe and sales of non-strategic properties to third parties in the U.S.
•
We earned promotes from unconsolidated co-investment ventures aggregating $139 million ($43 million net of related strategic capital expenses, which includes stock compensation amortization for promotes earned in prior periods), primarily from the value we created in executing the redevelopment, leasing and sale of a data center in the fourth quarter of 2024.
•
Our publicly traded vehicle, FIBRA Prologis, completed tender offers to acquire 89.9% of Terrafina, a Mexican FIBRA, through a combination of stock and cash and began consolidating Terrafina, which owned a portfolio of 41 million square feet of industrial real estate properties at December 31, 2024. As a result, our ownership interest in FIBRA Prologis decreased to 34.6% at December 31, 2024.
•
In India, we acquired 225 acres of land to support future development opportunities in this new market.

•
At December 31, 2024, we had total available liquidity of $7.4 billion, including borrowing capacity on our credit facilities of $6.1 billion and unrestricted cash balances of $1.3 billion.

At December 31, 2024, our total debt was $30.9 billion with a weighted average maturity of 9 years and an effective interest rate of 3.1%. Our financing activities during the year included the following:
•
In March 2024, we established a commercial paper program, under which we may issue, repay and re-issue short-term unsecured commercial paper notes (“CPNs”) denominated in U.S. dollars. At any point in time, we are required to maintain available commitments under our credit facilities in an amount at least equal to the CPNs outstanding.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We evaluate our business operations based on the NOI of our two reportable segments: Real Estate (Rental Operations and Development) and Strategic Capital. NOI by segment is a non-GAAP performance measure that is calculated using revenues and expenses directly from our financial statements. We consider NOI by segment to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance because it helps management and investors understand our operating results.
Below is our NOI by segment per the Consolidated Financial Statements and a reconciliation of NOI by segment to Operating Income per the Consolidated Financial Statements (in millions):

See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our segments and a reconciliation of each reportable segment’s NOI to Operating Income and Earnings Before Income Taxes.
Real Estate Segment
This reportable segment principally includes rental revenue and rental expenses recognized from our consolidated properties. This segment also includes the operating results of our renewable energy assets. We allocate the costs of our property management and

leasing functions to the Real Estate Segment through Rental Expenses and the Strategic Capital Segment through Strategic Capital Expenses, both in the Consolidated Financial Statements, based on the square footage of the relative portfolios. In addition, this segment is impacted by our development, acquisition and disposition activities.
Below are the components of Real Estate Segment NOI, derived directly from line items in the Consolidated Financial Statements (in millions):

| Real Estate Segment – NOI | $ | 5,717 | $ | 5,145 |
The $572 million change in Real Estate Segment (“RES”) NOI in 2024 compared to 2023, was impacted by the following activities (in millions):
(1)
Significant rent change due to higher rental rates on the rollover of leases during both periods continues to be a key driver of increasing rental income. See below for key metrics on rent change on rollover and occupancy.
(2)
We calculate changes in NOI from development completions period over period by comparing the change in NOI generated on the pool of developments that completed on or after January 1, 2023 through December 31, 2024.
(3)
The increase due to acquisitions is principally due to the additional NOI in 2024 from the $3.1 billion real estate portfolio acquired in the U.S. on June 29, 2023. Acquisition activity also includes the fair value lease amortization to rental revenues due to in-place leases that were primarily below market at the time of the acquisition.
(4)
The change is primarily due to higher insurance costs from a greater number of weather-related events in 2023. Development management and other also includes the operating results of our renewable energy assets.

| Estimated value creation | $ | 793 | $ | 916 |
(1)
We calculate the weighted average stabilized yield as estimated NOI assuming stabilized occupancy divided by TEI.
(2)
Estimated weighted average margin is calculated on development properties as estimated value creation, less estimated closing costs and taxes, if any, on properties expected to be sold or contributed, divided by TEI. Development margins fluctuate depending on several factors including cost of capital, changes in capitalization rates that are used to estimate value at completion and location and type of development, such as build-to-suit development.
At December 31, 2024, the consolidated development portfolio, including properties under development and pre-stabilized properties, was expected to be completed before July 2027 with a TEI of $4.7 billion and was 31.9% leased. This includes the development of data centers with an aggregate TEI of $0.9 billion, on a consolidated basis. Our investment in the development portfolio was $2.8 billion at December 31, 2024. For additional information on our development portfolio at December 31, 2024, see Item 2. Properties.

Capital Expenditures
We capitalize costs incurred in improving and leasing our operating properties as part of the investment basis or within Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following graph summarizes recurring capitalized expenditures and leasing costs of our consolidated operating properties during each year and excludes development costs and spend subsequent to stabilization that is structural in nature and non-recurring:
Strategic Capital Segment
This reportable segment includes revenues from asset management and property management services, transactional services for acquisition, disposition and leasing activity and promote revenue earned from the unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Revenues associated with the Strategic Capital Segment fluctuate because of changes in the size of the portfolios through acquisitions and dispositions, the fair value of the properties, timing of promotes, foreign currency exchange rates and other transactional activity. These revenues are reduced by the direct costs associated with the asset and property-level management expenses for the properties owned by these ventures. We allocate the costs of our property management and leasing functions to the Strategic Capital Segment through Strategic Capital Expenses and to the Real Estate Segment through Rental Expenses both in the Consolidated Financial Statements, based on the square footage of the relative portfolios. For further details regarding the key property information and summarized financial condition and operating results of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(4)
We generally earn promote revenue directly from third-party investors in the co-investment ventures based on the cumulative returns of the venture over a three-year period or the stabilization of individual development projects owned by the venture. Changes in asset valuations within the co-investment ventures during the promote period is one of the significant inputs to the calculation of promote revenues.
For promotes earned after January 2024, we amended the Prologis Promote Plan ("PPP") to award up to 25% of the third-party portion of the promotes earned by us from the co-investment ventures to our employees. This award is issued as a combination of cash and equity-based awards, pursuant to the terms of the PPP and expensed through Strategic Capital Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income, as vested. For promotes earned prior to January 2024, up to 40% of the third-party portion of promotes earned was awarded to certain employees.
G&A Expenses
G&A expenses were $419 million and $390 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively. G&A expenses increased in 2024 as compared to 2023, principally due to inflationary increases and higher compensation expenses. We capitalize certain internal costs that are incremental and directly related to our development and building improvement activities.
The following table summarizes capitalized G&A (in millions):

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $2.6 billion and $2.5 billion in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The $95 million change in depreciation and amortization expenses in 2024 compared to 2023, was impacted by the following items (in millions):
Gains on Real Estate Transactions, Net
Gains on the disposition of development properties and land were $414 million and $462 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively, primarily from the contribution of properties we developed to unconsolidated co-investment ventures in the U.S., Mexico and Europe in 2024 and in Europe, Japan and Mexico in 2023.
Gains on other dispositions of investments in real estate were $904 million and $161 million for 2024 and 2023, respectively. The gains recognized in 2024 are primarily from the contribution of operating properties to our unconsolidated co-investment venture in the U.S. and both 2024 and 2023 include the sale of non-strategic properties in the U.S.

Historically, we have utilized the proceeds from these dispositions primarily to fund our acquisition and development activities. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these transactions.
Our Owned and Managed (“O&M”) Operating Portfolio
We manage our business and review our operating fundamentals on an O&M basis, which includes our consolidated properties and properties owned by our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We believe reviewing the results in this way allows management to understand performance more broadly as we manage the properties without regard to their ownership. We do not control the unconsolidated co-investment ventures for purposes of GAAP and the presentation of the ventures’ operating information does not represent a legal claim.
Our O&M operating portfolio does not include our development portfolio, value-added properties, non-industrial properties or properties that we consider non-strategic and do not have the intent to hold long term that are classified as either held for sale or within other real estate investments. Value-added properties are properties we have either acquired at a discount and believe we could provide greater returns post-stabilization or properties we expect to repurpose to higher uses. See below for information on our O&M operating portfolio at December 31 (square feet in millions):
| 2024 | 2023 | ||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Properties | Square Feet | Percentage Occupied | Number of Properties | Square Feet | Percentage Occupied | ||||||||||||||

Below are the key leasing metrics of our O&M operating portfolio.
(1)
Square feet of leases commenced and weighted average net effective rent change were calculated for leases with initial terms of one year or greater. We retained approximately 70% or more of our customers, based on the total square feet of leases commenced, for each year. During all three years, we experienced a significant increase in net effective rent change due to increasing market rents.
(2)
Turnover costs include external leasing commissions and tenant improvements and represent the obligations incurred in connection with the lease commencement for leases greater than one year.
Same Store Analysis
Our same store metrics are non-GAAP financial measures, which are commonly used in the real estate industry and expected from the financial community, presented on both a net effective and cash basis. We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a “same store” analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, allowing us and investors to analyze our ongoing business operations. We determine our same store metrics on property NOI, which is calculated as rental revenue less rental expense for the applicable properties in the same store population for both consolidated and unconsolidated properties based on our ownership interest, as further defined below.
We define our same store population for the three months ended December 31, 2024 as the properties in our O&M operating portfolio, including the property NOI for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the unconsolidated co-investment ventures, at January 1, 2023 and owned throughout the same three-month period in both 2023 and 2024. We believe the drivers of property NOI for
35
Table of Contents
the consolidated portfolio are generally the same for the properties owned by the ventures in which we invest and therefore we evaluate the same store metrics of the O&M portfolio based on Prologis’ ownership in the properties (“Prologis Share”). The same store population excludes properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period (January 1, 2023) and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. To derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the reported period-end exchange rate to translate from local currency into the U.S. dollar for both periods.
As non-GAAP financial measures, the same store metrics have certain limitations as analytical tools and may vary among real estate companies. As a result, we provide a reconciliation of Rental Revenues less Rental Expenses (“Property NOI”) (from our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to our Same Store Property NOI measures.
We evaluate the results of our same store portfolio on a quarterly basis. The following is a reconciliation of our consolidated rental revenues, rental expenses and property NOI for each quarter in 2024 and 2023 to the full year, as included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and within Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and to the respective amounts in our same store portfolio analysis for the three months ended December 31 (dollars in millions):

We exclude properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. We also exclude net termination and renegotiation fees and write-offs of fair value lease assets or liabilities to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each property’s rental revenues without regard to one-time items that are not indicative of the property’s recurring operating performance. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease, offset by the write-off of the asset recorded due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term. Same Store Property NOI is adjusted to include an allocation of property management expenses for our consolidated properties based on the property management services provided to each property (generally, based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, these amounts are eliminated and the actual costs of providing property management and leasing services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expense.

We include the Property NOI for the same store portfolio for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the co-investment ventures based on our investment in the underlying properties. In order to calculate our share of Same Store Property NOI from the co-investment ventures in which we own less than 100%, we use the co-investment ventures’ underlying Property NOI for the same store portfolio and apply our ownership percentage at December 31, 2024 to the Property NOI for both periods, including the properties contributed during the period. We adjust the total Property NOI from the same store portfolio of the co-investment ventures by subtracting the third parties’ share of both consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures.
During the periods presented, certain wholly owned properties were contributed to a co-investment venture and are included in the same store portfolio. Neither our consolidated results nor those of the co-investment ventures, when viewed individually, would be comparable on a same store basis because of the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (e.g. the results of a contributed property are included in our consolidated results through the contribution date and in the results of the venture subsequent to the contribution date based on our ownership interest at the end of the period). As a result, only line items labeled “Prologis Share of Same Store Property NOI” are comparable period over period.
(3)
We further remove certain noncash items (straight-line rent and fair value lease amortization) included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to reflect a Same Store Property NOI – Cash measure.
We manage our business and compensate our executives based on the same store results of our O&M portfolio at 100% as we manage our portfolio on an ownership blind basis. We calculate those results by including 100% of the properties included in our same store portfolio.
Other Components of Income (Expense)
Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net
We recognized net earnings from unconsolidated entities, which are generally accounted for using the equity method, of $354 million and $307 million during 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The earnings we recognize can be impacted by: (i) the size, rental rates and occupancy of the portfolio of properties owned by each venture; (ii) interest expense based on the size and terms of the debt; (iii) gains or losses from the dispositions of properties, impairments and extinguishment of debt; (iv) our ownership interest in each venture; (v) other variances in revenues and expenses of each venture; and (vi) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate our share of net earnings to U.S. dollars. See the discussion of our unconsolidated entities above in the Strategic Capital Segment discussion and in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further breakdown of our share of net earnings recognized.
Interest Expense
The following table details our net interest expense (dollars in millions):

| Net interest expense | $ | 864 | $ | 641 | ||||
| Weighted average effective interest rate during the year | 3.1 | % | 2.8 | % |
Interest expense increased in 2024, as compared to 2023, principally due to the issuance of senior notes to finance our acquisition and development activities with higher interest rates on new issuances in both years. We issued $4.2 billion of senior notes during 2024 and $5.4 billion during 2023, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.8% and 4.7%, respectively, at the issuance date.
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below, for further discussion of our debt and borrowing costs.
Foreign Currency, Derivative and Other Gains (Losses) and Other Income (Expense), Net
We recognized foreign currency, derivative and other gains (losses) and other income (expense), net, of $209 million and $87 million for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. Included in these amounts was interest income earned on short-term investments and mark-to-market adjustments associated with other financial investments.
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to investments in and earnings from our foreign investments. We primarily hedge our foreign currency risk related to our investments by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest thereby providing a natural hedge. We have issued debt in a currency that is not the same functional currency of the borrowing entity and have designated a portion of the debt as a nonderivative net investment hedge. We recognize the remeasurement and settlement of the translation adjustment on the unhedged portion of the debt and accrued interest in unrealized gains or losses. We may use derivative financial

instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our earnings. We recognize the change in fair value of the undesignated derivative contracts in unrealized gains and losses. Upon settlement of these transactions, we recognize realized gains or losses.

Income Tax Expense
We recognize income tax expense related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries and in the local, state and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Our current income tax expense (benefit) fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our taxable income, including gains on the disposition of properties, fees earned from the co-investment ventures and taxable earnings from unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences and the utilization of net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets in taxable subsidiaries.

Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
Net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests represents the third-party investors’ share of the earnings generated in consolidated entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity, reduced by the third-party share of fees or promotes we earned during the period. We had net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests of $216 million and $194 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Included in these amounts were $93 million and $77 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, of net earnings attributable to the common limited partnership unitholders of Prologis, L.P.
See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our noncontrolling interests.

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The key driver of changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI/L”) in the Consolidated Financial Statements in 2024 and 2023 was the currency translation adjustment derived from changes in exchange rates during both periods principally on our net investments in real estate outside the U.S. and the borrowings we issue in the functional currencies of the countries where we invest. These borrowings serve as a natural hedge of our foreign investments. In addition, we use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our foreign investments and interest rate contracts to manage interest rate risk, that when designated the change in fair value is included in AOCI/L.
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our foreign currency and derivative financial instrument policies and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our derivative and nonderivative transactions and other comprehensive income (loss).
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
See Note 16 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about environmental liabilities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, distributions from our co-investment ventures, contributions and dispositions of properties and available financing sources to be adequate to meet our anticipated future development, acquisition, operating, debt service, dividend and distribution requirements.
Near-Term Principal Cash Sources and Uses
In addition to dividends and distributions, we expect our primary cash needs will consist of the following:
•
completion of the development and leasing of the properties in our consolidated development portfolio (at December 31, 2024, 85 properties in our development portfolio were 31.9% leased with a current investment of $2.8 billion and a TEI of $4.7 billion when completed and leased, leaving $1.9 billion of estimated additional required investment);
•
development of new properties that we may hold for long-term investment or subsequently contribute to unconsolidated co-investment ventures or sell to third parties, including the acquisition of land;
•
the acquisition of other real estate investments that we acquire with the intention of redeveloping into industrial properties and data centers;
•
capital expenditures and leasing costs on properties in our operating portfolio;
•
investments in renewable energy, energy storage and mobility infrastructure to serve our customers and achieve our sustainability goals;
•
repayment of debt and scheduled principal payments of $514 million in 2025;
•
additional investments in current and future co-investment ventures and other ventures; and
•
the acquisition of operating properties or portfolios of operating properties (depending on market and other conditions), for direct, long-term investment in our consolidated portfolio (this might include acquisitions from our unconsolidated entities).
We expect to fund our cash needs principally from the following sources (subject to market conditions):
•
net cash flow from property operations;
•
fees earned for services performed on behalf of co-investment ventures;
•
distributions received from co-investment ventures;
•
proceeds from the contribution of properties to current or future co-investment ventures;
•
proceeds from the disposition of properties or other investments to third parties;
39
Table of Contents
•
available unrestricted cash balances ($1.3 billion at December 31, 2024);
•
borrowing capacity under our current credit facility arrangements that allows us to borrow on a short-term basis, with maturities generally ranging from overnight to three months ($6.1 billion available at December 31, 2024), including our commercial paper program that we established in the first quarter of 2024; and
•
proceeds from the issuance of debt.
In the long term, we may also voluntarily repurchase our outstanding debt or equity securities (depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity, contractual restrictions and other factors) through cash purchases, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. We may also fund our cash needs from the issuance of equity securities, subject to market conditions, and through the sale of a portion of our investments in co-investment ventures.

The weighted average remaining maturity for total debt outstanding at both December 31, 2024 and 2023 was 9 years.
Our credit ratings at December 31, 2024, were A from Standard & Poor's with a stable outlook and A3 from Moody's with a positive outlook. These ratings allow us to borrow at an advantageous interest rate. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively impact our business and, in particular, our refinancing and other capital market activities, our ability to manage debt maturities, our future growth and our development and acquisition activity. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization.
At December 31, 2024, we were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants. These covenants include a number of customary financial covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage ratios, leverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios.
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our debt.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by and used in operating activities, exclusive of changes in receivables and payables, was impacted by the following significant activities:
•
Real Estate Segment. We receive the majority of our operating cash through the net revenues of our Real Estate Segment, including the recovery of our operating costs. Cash flows generated by the Real Estate Segment are impacted by our acquisition, development and disposition activities, which are drivers of NOI recognized during each period. See the Results of Operations section above for further explanation of our Real Estate Segment. The revenues from this segment include noncash adjustments for straight-lined rents and amortization of above and below market leases of $645 million and $613 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
•
Strategic Capital Segment. We also generate operating cash through our Strategic Capital Segment by providing asset management and property management and other services to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. See the Results of Operations section above for the key drivers of the net revenues from our Strategic Capital Segment. Included in Strategic Capital Revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Income are the promotes we earn from the third-party investors in our co-investment ventures, which are recognized in operating activities in the period the cash is received, generally the quarter after the revenue is recognized.
•
G&A expenses and equity-based compensation awards. We incurred $419 million and $390 million of G&A expenses in 2024 and 2023, respectively. We recognized equity-based, noncash compensation expenses of $232 million and $268 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, which were recorded to Rental Expenses in the Real Estate Segment, Strategic Capital Expenses in the Strategic Capital Segment and G&A Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
•
Operating distributions from unconsolidated entities. We received $562 million and $680 million of distributions as a return on our investment from the cash flows generated from the operations of our unconsolidated entities in 2024 and 2023, respectively.
•
Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized. We paid interest, net of amounts capitalized, of $711 million and $457 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this activity.
•
Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds. We paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $130 million and $149 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this activity.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities is driven by proceeds from the sale of real estate assets that include the contribution of properties we developed to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures as well as the sale of non-strategic operating properties. Cash used in investing activities is principally driven by our capital deployment activities of investing in real estate development, acquisitions and capital expenditures as discussed above. This activity includes land for future development, operating properties, other real estate assets and real estate portfolios, such as the $3.1 billion portfolio acquired in the second quarter of 2023. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these activities. In addition, the following significant transactions also impacted our cash used in and provided by investing activities:
•
Investments in and advances to our unconsolidated entities. We invested cash in our unconsolidated entities of $541 million and $284 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing our proportionate share. The ventures used the funds for the acquisition of properties, development and repayment of debt. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on our unconsolidated co-investment ventures.
•
Return of investment from unconsolidated entities. We received distributions from unconsolidated entities as a return of investment of $58 million and $348 million in 2024 and 2023, respectively, representing our proportionate share. Included in these
41
Table of Contents
amounts were distributions from venture activities, including proceeds from property sales, debt refinancing and the redemption of our investment in certain unconsolidated entities.
•
Net proceeds from (payments on) the settlement of net investment hedges. We received net proceeds of $13 million and $35 million for the settlement of net investment hedges in 2024 and 2023, respectively. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our derivative transactions.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by and used in financing activities is principally driven by proceeds from and payments on credit facilities, commercial paper and other debt, along with dividends paid on common and preferred stock and noncontrolling interest contributions and distributions. Our credit facilities and our commercial paper support our cash needs for development and acquisition activities on a short-term basis. The maturities of the borrowings under the credit facilities and the notes under the commercial paper program generally range from overnight to three months.
Our repurchase of and payments on debt and proceeds from the issuance of debt consisted of the following activity (in millions):

Unconsolidated Co-Investment Venture Debt
We had investments in and advances to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures of $9.3 billion at December 31, 2024. These ventures had total third-party debt of $17.9 billion at December 31, 2024 with a weighted average remaining maturity of 6 years and weighted average interest rate of 3.5%. Certain of our ventures do not have third-party debt and are therefore excluded. This debt is non-recourse to Prologis and other investors in the co-investment ventures and bears interest as follows at December 31, 2024 (dollars in millions):

(1)
The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for all unconsolidated co-investment ventures was 30.4% at December 31, 2024 based on gross book value. Loan-to-value, a non-GAAP measure, was calculated as the percentage of total third-party debt to the gross book value of real estate for each venture and weighted based on the cumulative gross book value of all unconsolidated co-investment ventures.
At December 31, 2024, we did not guarantee any third-party debt of the unconsolidated co-investment ventures. In our role as the manager or sponsor, we work with the co-investment ventures to maintain sufficient liquidity and refinance their maturing debt. There can be no assurance that the co-investment ventures will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness on terms as favorable as the maturing debt, or at all. If the ventures are unable to refinance the maturing indebtedness with newly issued debt, they may be able to obtain funds by voluntary capital contributions from us and our partners or by selling assets. Certain of our ventures also have credit facilities, or unencumbered properties, both of which may be used to obtain funds.

Dividend and Distribution Requirements
Our dividend policy on our common stock is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure that we will meet the dividend requirements of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC"), relative to maintaining our REIT status, while still allowing us to retain cash to fund our capital deployment and other investment activities.
Under the IRC, REITs may be subject to certain federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income.
We paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.96 and $0.87 per common share in 2024 and 2023, respectively. Our future common stock dividends, if and as declared, may vary and will be determined by the Board based upon the circumstances prevailing at the time, including our financial condition, operating results and REIT distribution requirements, and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year.
We make distributions on the common limited partnership units outstanding at the same per unit amount as our common stock dividend. The Class A common limited partnerships units (“Class A Units”) in the OP are entitled to a quarterly distribution equal to $0.64665 per unit so long as the common units receive a quarterly distribution of at least $0.40 per unit. We paid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.64665 per Class A Unit in 2024 and 2023.
At December 31, 2024, our Series Q preferred stock had an annual dividend rate of 8.54% per share and the dividends are payable quarterly in arrears.
Pursuant to the terms of our preferred stock, we are restricted from declaring or paying any dividend with respect to our common stock unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the preferred stock have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the relevant dividend period with respect to the preferred stock.
Other Commitments
On an ongoing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition or disposition of individual properties or portfolios of properties.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A critical accounting policy is one that involves an estimate or assumption that is subjective and requires management judgment about the effect of a matter that is inherently uncertain and material to an entity’s financial condition and results of operations. Management’s judgment considers historical and current economic conditions and expectations for the future. Changes in estimates could affect our financial position and specific items in our results of operations that are used by stockholders, potential investors, industry analysts and lenders in their evaluation of our performance. Of the significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, those presented below have been identified by us as meeting the criteria to be considered critical accounting policies as they relate to our financial condition at December 31, 2024, and 2023 and our operating results for the three-year period ended December 31, 2024. Refer to Note 2 for more information on these critical accounting policies.
Asset Acquisitions
We generally account for an acquisition of a single property or portfolio of properties as an asset acquisition. We measure the real estate assets acquired through an asset acquisition based on their cost or total consideration exchanged. The difference between the cost and the estimated fair value (excess or bargain consideration) is allocated to the real estate properties and related lease intangibles on a relative fair value basis. Assets we do not intend to hold long-term are recorded at fair value. At a property level, we allocate the fair value to the components, which include buildings, land, improvements, and intangible assets or liabilities related to acquired leases. The most significant portion of the allocation is to building and land and requires the use of market based estimates and assumptions.
The fair value of real estate properties subject to purchase price allocation is based on the expected future cash flows of the property and various characteristics of the markets where the property is located utilizing an income approach methodology, which may be a discounted cash flow analysis or applying a capitalization rate to the estimated net operating income of a property. Key assumptions may include market rents and capitalization rates. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends and market and economic conditions. We determine capitalization rates by market based on recent transactions and other market data and adjust if necessary, based on the property characteristics. The fair value of land is generally based on relevant market data, such as a comparison of the subject site to similar parcels that have recently been sold or are currently being offered on the market for sale. For acquisitions of a significant portfolio of properties, the use of different assumptions to value the acquired properties and allocate the most significant portion of the property value between the building and land could affect the depreciation expense we recognize over the estimated remaining useful life.
43
Table of Contents
Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
We assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. This assessment is primarily triggered based on the shortening of the expected hold period due to a change in our intent to sell a property in the near term. We have processes to monitor our intent with regard to our investments and the estimated disposition value in comparison to the current carrying value. If our assessment of potential triggering events indicates that the carrying value of a property that we expect to sell in the near term is not recoverable, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the property. We determine the fair value of the property based on the estimated proceeds from disposition that are based on quoted market values, third-party appraisals or discounted cash flow models that utilize the future net operating income of the property and expected market capitalization rates. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business. Changes in economic and operating conditions could impact our intent and the assumptions used in determining the fair value that could result in future impairment.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS/UNITHOLDERS (“FFO”)
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings.
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales net of any related tax, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated properties. We also exclude the gains on revaluation of equity investments upon acquisition of a controlling interest and the gain recognized from a partial sale of our investment, as these are similar to gains from the sales of previously depreciated properties. We exclude similar adjustments from our unconsolidated entities and the third parties’ share of our consolidated ventures.
Our FFO Measures
Our FFO measures begin with NAREIT’s definition, and we make certain adjustments to reflect our business and the way that management plans and executes our business strategy. While not infrequent or unusual, the additional items we adjust for in calculating FFO, as modified by Prologis and Core FFO, both as defined below, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period. Although these items may have a material impact on our operations and are reflected in our financial statements, the removal of the effects of these items allows us to better understand the core operating performance of our properties over the long term. These items have both positive and negative short-term effects on our results of operations in inconsistent and unpredictable directions that are not relevant to our long-term outlook.
We calculate our FFO measures, as defined below, based on our proportionate ownership share of both our unconsolidated entities and consolidated ventures. We reflect our share of our FFO measures for unconsolidated entities by applying our average ownership percentage for the period to the applicable adjusting items on an entity-by-entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our FFO measures to remove the noncontrolling interests share of the applicable adjusting items based on our average ownership percentage for the applicable periods.
These FFO measures are used by management as supplemental financial measures of operating performance and we believe that it is important that stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand the measures management uses. We do not use our FFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance, as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.
We analyze our operating performance principally by the rental revenue of our real estate and the revenues from our strategic capital business, net of operating, administrative and financing expenses. This income stream is not directly impacted by fluctuations in the market value of our investments in real estate or debt securities.
FFO, as modified by Prologis attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“FFO, as modified by Prologis”)
To arrive at FFO, as modified by Prologis, we adjust the NAREIT defined FFO measure to exclude the impact of foreign currency related items and deferred tax, specifically:
•
deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries;
44
Table of Contents
•
current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income tax benefit in earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure; and
•
foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from: (i) debt transactions between us and our foreign entities; (ii) third-party debt that is used to hedge our investment in foreign entities; (iii) derivative financial instruments related to any such debt transactions; and (iv) mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative and other financial instruments.
We use FFO, as modified by Prologis, so that management, analysts and investors are able to evaluate our performance against other REITs that do not have similar operations or operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S.
Core FFO attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“Core FFO”)
In addition to FFO, as modified by Prologis, we also use Core FFO. To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust FFO, as modified by Prologis, to exclude the following recurring and nonrecurring items that we recognize directly in FFO, as modified by Prologis:
•
gains or losses from the disposition of land and development properties that were developed with the intent to contribute or sell;
•
income tax expense related to the sale of investments in real estate;
•
impairment charges recognized related to our investments in real estate generally as a result of our change in intent to contribute or sell these properties; and
•
gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt and redemption and repurchase of preferred stock.
We use Core FFO, including by segment and region, to: (i) assess our operating performance as compared to other real estate companies; (ii) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods; (iii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iv) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (v) provide guidance to the financial markets to understand our expected operating performance; and (vi) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results.
Limitations on the use of our FFO measures
While we believe our modified FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREIT’s nor our measures of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant economic components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Accordingly, these are only a few of the many measures we use when analyzing our business. Some of the limitations are:
•
The current income tax expenses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures represent the taxes that are payable.
•
Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are excluded from FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Furthermore, the amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of logistics facilities are not reflected in FFO.
•
Gains or losses from property dispositions and impairment charges related to expected dispositions represent changes in value of the properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO does not capture realized changes in the value of disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions.
•
The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have to be settled at some future point. Our modified FFO measures do not currently reflect any income or expense that may result from such settlement.
•
The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO measures are limited in that they do not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements.
•
The gains and losses on extinguishment of debt or preferred stock that we exclude from our Core FFO, may provide a benefit or cost to us as we may be settling our obligation at less or more than our future obligation.
We compensate for these limitations by using our FFO measures only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP when making our decisions. This information should be read with our complete Consolidated Financial Statements prepared under GAAP. To

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report and the matters described under Item 1A. Risk Factors.
A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for 2023 compared to 2022 is presented below. Information on 2021 is included in graphs only to show year over year trends in our results of operations and operating metrics. Our financial condition for 2021, results of operations for 2021, and 2022 compared to 2021 and details on the acquisition of Duke Realty Corporation and Duke Realty Limited Partnership (collectively "Duke" or the "Duke Transaction") is referenced throughout this document and can be found under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which is incorporated by reference herein to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2022, filed with the SEC on February 14, 2023, and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our Investor Relations website at www.ir.prologis.com.
MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW
Summary of 2023
Our operating results were strong in 2023. Market rents continued to grow in most of the global logistics markets, which along with our existing lease mark-to-market, drove significant rent change on rollover and same-store growth in our O&M portfolio. Our O&M operating portfolio occupancy was 97.6% at December 31, 2023 and rent change on leases that commenced during the year was 76.4%, on a net effective basis based on our ownership share. While uncertainties remain in the economic and geopolitical environment, our 2023 results are representative of the prospects we see for our business. We believe we are well positioned to organically grow revenues over the long-term given the cumulative growth in market rents over the last several years and our existing high lease mark-to-market.
We completed the following significant activities in 2023, as described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements:
•
On June 29, 2023, we acquired a real estate portfolio comprised of 70 operating properties in the U.S., aggregating 14 million square feet, for cash consideration of $3.1 billion.
•
We generated net proceeds of $2.1 billion and realized net gains of $623 million, principally from the contribution of properties to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in Europe, Japan and Mexico and the sale of a U.S. portfolio of assets to a third-party. This activity also includes the sale of our investment in an unconsolidated office joint venture.
•
In April 2023, we formed PJLF, an unconsolidated co-investment venture in Japan, with two investors through the initial contribution of assets for which we received cash and equity ownership. We made additional contributions to PJLF during 2023. At December 31, 2023, our ownership interest was 16.3%.
•
We earned promotes aggregating $675 million ($495 million net of related strategic capital expenses), primarily during the second quarter of 2023 from the third-party investors in USLF in the U.S.
•
At December 31, 2023, we had total available liquidity of $6.0 billion, including borrowing capacity on our credit facilities of $5.5 billion and unrestricted cash balances of $530 million.
•
At December 31, 2023, our total debt portfolio of $29.0 billion had a weighted average maturity of 9 years and an effective interest rate of 3.0%. Our financing activities during the year included the following:
•
On April 5, 2023, we amended and restated our 2021 global senior credit facility (the "2021 Global Facility") as the 2023 Global Facility, increasing its borrowing capacity to $3.0 billion and extended the initial maturity date to June 2027.
•
On August 25, 2023, we amended and restated the Japanese yen revolver, increasing its borrowing capacity for total commitments of ¥58.5 billion ($414 million at December 31, 2023) and extended the initial maturity date to August 2027.

•
In the third quarter of 2023, we entered into Chinese renminbi term loans totaling CN¥1.7 billion ($239 million) with an issuance date weighted average interest rate of 3.5% maturing between September 2024 to 2026.
•
We issued senior notes of $5.4 billion (principal in millions):

The exchange rate used to calculate into U.S. dollars was the spot rate at the settlement date.
In January 2024, we issued senior notes of $1.3 billion with weighted average effective interest rates of 5.2% and a weighted average maturity of 17 years. In February 2024, we issued senior notes of CN¥ 1.5 billion ($211 million) with an effective interest rate of 3.6% and a maturity of 3 years.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We evaluate our business operations based on the NOI of our two operating segments: Real Estate (Rental Operations and Development) and Strategic Capital. NOI by segment is a non-GAAP performance measure that is calculated using revenues and expenses directly from our financial statements. We consider NOI by segment to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance because it helps management and investors understand our operating results.
Below is our NOI by segment per the Consolidated Financial Statements and a reconciliation of NOI by segment to Operating Income per the Consolidated Financial Statements (in millions):
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||

See Note 17 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on our segments and a reconciliation of each business segment’s NOI to Operating Income and Earnings Before Income Taxes.
Real Estate Segment
This operating segment principally includes rental revenue and rental expenses recognized from our consolidated properties. We allocate the costs of our property management and leasing functions to the Real Estate Segment through Rental Expenses and the Strategic Capital Segment through Strategic Capital Expenses, both in the Consolidated Financial Statements, based on the square footage of the relative portfolios. In addition, this segment is impacted by our development, acquisition and disposition activities.

| Real Estate Segment – NOI | $ | 5,145 | $ | 3,688 |
The change in Real Estate Segment (“RES”) NOI in 2023 compared to 2022 of approximately $1.5 billion was impacted by the following activities (in millions):
(1)
Acquisition activity is principally due to the Duke Transaction on October 3, 2022 and a $3.1 billion real estate portfolio acquired in the U.S. on June 29, 2023. Acquisition activity also includes the amortization of fair value lease adjustments to rental revenues due to in-place leases that were primarily below market at the time of the acquisition.
(2)
During both periods, we experienced positive rental rate growth. Rental rate growth is a combination of higher rental rates on rollover of leases (or rent change) and contractual rent increases on existing leases. If a lease has a contractual rent increase driven by a metric that is not known at the time the lease commences, such as the consumer price index or a similar metric, the rent increase is not included in rent leveling and therefore impacts the rental revenue we recognize. Significant rent change during both periods continues to be a key driver in increasing rental income. See below for key metrics on rent change on rollover and occupancy.
(3)
We calculate changes in NOI from development completions period over period by comparing the change in NOI generated on the pool of developments that completed on or after January 1, 2022 through December 31, 2023.
(4)
The change is principally due to higher insurance costs from a greater number of weather-related events and increases in the cost of our property management and leasing functions in 2023. Development management and other also includes the operating results of our energy assets.

Below are key operating metrics of our consolidated operating portfolio:
(1)
In October 2022, we completed the Duke Transaction, which increased our average consolidated square feet for 2023.
(2)
Consolidated square feet of leases commenced and weighted average net effective rent change were calculated for leases with initial terms of one year or greater.
Development Activity
The following table summarizes consolidated development activity (dollars and square feet in millions):
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Starts: | ||||||||
| Number of new development buildings during the period | 55 | 91 | ||||||

| Estimated weighted average margin (3) | 30.0 | % | 54.9 | % | ||||
| Estimated value creation | $ | 916 | $ | 1,522 |
(1)
Included in TEI for 2023 was incremental spend of $161 million related to a development start that was previously reported.
(2)
We calculate the weighted average stabilized yield as estimated NOI assuming stabilized occupancy divided by TEI.
(3)
Estimated weighted average margin is calculated on development properties as estimated value creation, less estimated closing costs and taxes, if any, on properties expected to be sold or contributed, divided by TEI. Development margins fluctuate depending on several factors including cost of capital, changes in capitalization rates that are used to estimate value at completion, location and type of development, such as build-to-suit development.
At December 31, 2023, the consolidated development portfolio, including properties under development and pre-stabilized properties, was expected to be completed before July 2026 with a TEI of $7.8 billion and was 37.9% leased. Our investment in the development portfolio was $4.4 billion at December 31, 2023 leaving $3.4 billion remaining to be spent. For additional information on our development portfolio at December 31, 2023, see Item 2. Properties.

Capital Expenditures
We capitalize costs incurred in improving and leasing our operating properties as part of the investment basis or within Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. The following graph summarizes recurring capitalized expenditures, excluding development costs and non-recurring costs, of our consolidated operating properties during each year:
Our capital expenditures continue to increase year over year as we grow the consolidated operating portfolio through development and acquisitions. We plan to continue allocating capital in 2024 to renovate and improve our operating portfolio, including the addition of sustainable and efficient building features.
Strategic Capital Segment
This operating segment includes revenues from asset management and property management services performed, transactional services for acquisition, disposition and leasing activity and promote revenue earned from the unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Revenues associated with the Strategic Capital Segment fluctuate because of changes in the size of the portfolios through acquisitions and dispositions, the fair value of the properties and other transactional activity including foreign currency exchange rates and timing of promotes. These revenues are reduced by the direct costs associated with the asset and property-level management expenses for the properties owned by these ventures. We allocate the costs of our property management and leasing functions to the Strategic Capital Segment through Strategic Capital Expenses and to the Real Estate Segment through Rental Expenses both in the Consolidated Financial Statements, based on the square footage of the relative portfolios. For further details regarding the key property information and summarized financial condition and operating results of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

(2)
In April 2023, we formed PJLF in Japan with two investors.
(3)
Recurring fees include asset management and property management fees.

(4)
Transactional fees include leasing commissions and acquisition, disposition, development and other fees.
(5)
We generally earn promote revenue directly from third-party investors in the co-investment ventures based on the cumulative returns of the venture over a three-year period or the stabilization of individual development projects owned by the venture. Changes in asset valuations within the co-investment ventures during the promote period is one of the significant inputs to the calculation of promote revenues. The asset valuations are prepared by third-party valuation firms. Included above is promote revenue earned from USLF in the second quarter of 2023 and PELF in the third quarter of 2022. We do not have any significant promote opportunities in 2024.
Up to 40% of the third-party portion of the promote earned by us from the co-investment ventures is paid to our employees as a combination of cash and stock-based awards pursuant to the terms of the PPP and expensed through Strategic Capital Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income, as vested.
G&A Expenses
G&A expenses were $390 million and $331 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively. G&A expenses increased in 2023 as compared to 2022, principally due to inflationary increases, the expansion of Prologis Essentials and higher compensation expenses based on our performance. We capitalize certain internal costs that are incremental and directly related to our development and building improvement activities.
The following table summarizes capitalized G&A (in millions):

Depreciation and Amortization Expenses
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $2.5 billion and $1.8 billion in 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The change in depreciation and amortization expenses in 2023 compared to 2022 of approximately $672 million was impacted by the following (in millions):
(1)
Included in acquisitions are the operating properties, other real estate properties and related lease intangibles acquired in the Duke Transaction.
(2)
Included in foreign currency and other is the depreciation and amortization expense associated with our energy assets.
Gains on Real Estate Transactions, Net
Gains on the disposition of development properties and land were $462 million and $598 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively, primarily from the contribution of properties we developed to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in Europe, Japan and Mexico
34
Table of Contents
for both years. Gains on other dispositions of investments in real estate were $161 million and $589 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively, and primarily represented sales of U.S. non-strategic operating properties to third parties. Historically, we have utilized the proceeds from these transactions primarily to fund our acquisition and development activities. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these transactions.
Our Owned and Managed (“O&M”) Operating Portfolio
We manage our business and review our operating fundamentals on an O&M basis, which includes our consolidated properties and properties owned by our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We believe reviewing the results in this way allows management to understand performance more broadly as we manage the properties without regard to their ownership. We do not control the unconsolidated co-investment ventures for purposes of GAAP and the presentation of the ventures’ operating information does not represent a legal claim.
Our O&M operating portfolio does not include our development portfolio, value-added properties, non-industrial properties or properties that we consider non-strategic and do not have the intent to hold long term that are classified as either held for sale or within other real estate investments. Value-added properties are properties we have either acquired at a discount and believe we could provide greater returns post-stabilization or properties we expect to repurpose to a higher and better use. See below for information on our O&M operating portfolio at December 31 (square feet in millions):
| 2023 | 2022 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Properties | Square Feet | Percentage Occupied | Number of Properties | Square Feet | Percentage Occupied | ||||||||||||||||||

| Total | 5,199 | 1,138 | 97.6 | % | 4,989 | 1,083 | 98.2 | % |
Below are the key leasing metrics of our O&M operating portfolio.
(1)
Square feet of leases commenced and weighted average net effective rent change were calculated for leases with initial terms of one year or greater. We retained approximately 70% or more of our customers, based on the total square feet of leases commenced, for each year. In 2023 and 2022, we experienced a significant increase in net effective rent change due to increasing market rents.
(2)
Turnover costs include external leasing commissions and tenant improvements and represent the obligations incurred in connection with the lease commencement for leases greater than one year. In 2023 and 2022, spend on turnover costs remained similar to 2021, however, the value of the leases commenced increased due to strong market rent growth.
Same Store Analysis
Our same store metrics are non-GAAP financial measures, which are commonly used in the real estate industry and expected from the financial community, presented on both a net effective and cash basis. We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a “same store” analysis to ensure that the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, allowing us and investors to analyze our ongoing business operations. We determine our same store metrics on property NOI, which is calculated as rental revenue less rental expense for the applicable properties in the same store population for both consolidated and unconsolidated properties based on our ownership interest, as further defined below.
We define our same store population for the three months ended December 31, 2023 as the properties in our O&M operating portfolio, including the property NOI for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the unconsolidated co-investment ventures at January 1, 2022 and owned throughout the same three-month period in both 2022 and 2023. We believe the drivers of property NOI for the consolidated portfolio are generally the same for the properties owned by the ventures in which we invest and therefore we evaluate
35
Table of Contents
the same store metrics of the O&M portfolio based on Prologis’ ownership in the properties (“Prologis Share”). The same store population excludes properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period (January 1, 2022) and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. To derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the reported period-end exchange rate to translate from local currency into the U.S. dollar, for both periods.
As non-GAAP financial measures, the same store metrics have certain limitations as analytical tools and may vary among real estate companies. As a result, we provide a reconciliation of Rental Revenues less Rental Expenses (“Property NOI”) (from our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to our Same Store Property NOI measures.
We evaluate the results of our same store portfolio on a quarterly basis. The following is a reconciliation of our consolidated rental revenues, rental expenses and property NOI for each quarter in 2023 and 2022 to the full year, as included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and within Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and to the respective amounts in our same store portfolio analysis for the three months ended December 31 (dollars in millions):

We exclude properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. We also exclude net termination and renegotiation fees and write-offs of fair value lease assets or liabilities to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each property’s rental revenues without regard to one-time items that are not indicative of the property’s recurring operating performance. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease, offset by the write-off of the asset recorded due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term. Same Store Property NOI is adjusted to include an allocation of property management expenses for our consolidated properties based on the property management services provided to each property (generally, based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, these amounts are eliminated and the actual costs of providing property management and leasing services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expense.
(2)
We include the Property NOI for the same store portfolio for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the co-investment ventures based on our investment in the underlying properties. In order to calculate our share of Same Store Property NOI from the co-investment ventures in which we own less than 100%, we use the co-investment ventures’ underlying Property
36
Table of Contents
NOI for the same store portfolio and apply our ownership percentage at December 31, 2023 to the Property NOI for both periods, including the properties contributed during the period. We adjust the total Property NOI from the same store portfolio of the co-investment ventures by subtracting the third parties’ share of both consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures.
During the periods presented, certain wholly owned properties were contributed to a co-investment venture and are included in the same store portfolio. Neither our consolidated results nor those of the co-investment ventures, when viewed individually, would be comparable on a same store basis because of the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (e.g. the results of a contributed property are included in our consolidated results through the contribution date and in the results of the venture subsequent to the contribution date based on our ownership interest at the end of the period). As a result, only line items labeled “Prologis Share of Same Store Property NOI” are comparable period over period.
(3)
We further remove certain noncash items (straight-line rent and amortization of fair value lease adjustments) included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to reflect a Same Store Property NOI – Cash measure.
We manage our business and compensate our executives based on the same store results of our O&M portfolio at 100% as we manage our portfolio on an ownership blind basis. We calculate those results by including 100% of the properties included in our same store portfolio.
Other Components of Income (Expense)
Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net
We recognized net earnings from unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method, of $307 million and $311 million during 2023 and 2022, respectively.
The earnings we recognize can be impacted by: (i) the size, rental rates and occupancy of the portfolio of properties owned by each venture; (ii) gains or losses from the dispositions of properties and extinguishment of debt; (iii) our ownership interest in each venture; (iv) other variances in revenues and expenses of each venture; and (v) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate our share of net earnings to U.S. dollars. See the discussion of our unconsolidated entities above in the Strategic Capital Segment discussion and in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further breakdown of our share of net earnings recognized.
Interest Expense
The following table details our net interest expense (dollars in millions):
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gross interest expense | $ | 683 | $ | 345 | ||||
| Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, net | 75 | 24 | ||||||

| Net interest expense | $ | 641 | $ | 309 | ||||
| Weighted average effective interest rate during the year | 2.8 | % | 1.8 | % |
Interest expense increased in 2023, as compared to 2022, principally due to the financing of acquisition and development activity through the issuance of senior notes in 2023, the assumption of $4.2 billion of debt in the Duke Transaction which was marked to fair value in October 2022 and higher interest rates on new issuances and our credit facilities. We issued $5.4 billion of senior notes during 2023 and $3.3 billion during 2022, with a weighted average interest rate of 4.7% and 2.3%, respectively, at the issuance date.
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below, for further discussion of our debt and borrowing costs.
Foreign Currency, Derivative and Other Gains and Other Income, Net
We recognized foreign currency, derivative and other gains and other income, net, of $87 million and $242 million for the year ended December 31, 2023, and 2022, respectively. These amounts included interest income earned on short-term investments and mark-to-market adjustments associated with other financial investments.
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to investments in and earnings from our foreign investments. We primarily hedge our foreign currency risk related to our investments by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest thereby providing a natural hedge. We have issued debt in a currency that is not the same functional currency of the borrowing entity and have designated a portion of the debt as a nonderivative net investment hedge. We recognize the remeasurement and settlement of the translation adjustment on the unhedged portion of the debt and accrued interest in unrealized gains or losses. We may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our earnings. We recognize the change in fair value of the undesignated derivative contracts in unrealized gains and losses. Upon settlement of these transactions, we recognize realized gains or losses.

Income Tax Expense
We recognize income tax expense related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries and in the local, state and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Our current income tax expense (benefit) fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our taxable income, including gains on the disposition of properties, fees earned from the co-investment ventures and taxable earnings from unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences and the utilization of net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets in taxable subsidiaries.
The following table summarizes our income tax expense (benefit) (in millions):
| 2023 | 2022 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current income tax expense (benefit): | ||||||||

Our income taxes are discussed in more detail in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
This amount represents the third-party investors’ share of the earnings generated in consolidated entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity, reduced by the third-party share of fees or promotes payable to us and earned during the period. We had net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests of $194 million and $191 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Included in these amounts were $77 million and $92 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively, of net earnings attributable to the common limited partnership unitholders of Prologis, L.P.
See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our noncontrolling interests.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The key driver of changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI/L”) in the Consolidated Financial Statements in 2023 and 2022 was the currency translation adjustment derived from changes in exchange rates during both periods principally on our net investments in real estate outside the U.S. and the borrowings we issue in the functional currencies of the countries where we invest. These borrowings serve as a natural hedge of our foreign investments. In addition, we use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our foreign investments and interest rate contracts to manage interest rate risk, that when designated the change in fair value is included in AOCI/L.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, distributions from our co-investment ventures, contributions and dispositions of properties and available financing sources to be adequate to meet our anticipated future development, acquisition, operating, debt service, dividend and distribution requirements.
Near-Term Principal Cash Sources and Uses
In addition to dividends and distributions, we expect our primary cash needs will consist of the following:
•
completion of the development and leasing of the properties in our consolidated development portfolio (at December 31, 2023, 130 properties in our development portfolio were 37.9% leased with a current investment of $4.4 billion and a TEI of $7.8 billion when completed and leased, leaving $3.4 billion of estimated additional required investment);
•
development of new properties that we may hold for long-term investment or subsequently contribute to unconsolidated co-investment ventures, including the acquisition of land;
•
the acquisition of other real estate investments that we acquire with the intention of redeveloping into industrial properties;
•
capital expenditures and leasing costs on properties in our operating portfolio;
•
investments in energy assets such as solar panels, battery storage and mobility solutions to serve our customers;
•
repayment of debt and scheduled principal payments of $531 million in 2024;
•
additional investments in current and future unconsolidated co-investment ventures and other ventures; and
•
the acquisition of operating properties or portfolios of operating properties (depending on market and other conditions) for direct, long-term investment in our consolidated portfolio (this might include acquisitions from our unconsolidated entities).
We expect to fund our cash needs principally from the following sources (subject to market conditions):
•
net cash flow from property operations;
•
fees earned for services performed on behalf of co-investment ventures;
•
distributions received from co-investment ventures;
•
proceeds from the contribution of properties to current or future co-investment ventures;
•
proceeds from the disposition of properties or other investments to third parties;
•
available unrestricted cash balances ($530 million at December 31, 2023);
•
borrowing capacity under our current credit facility arrangements that allow us to borrow on a short-term basis, with original maturities ranging from overnight to three months ($5.5 billion available at December 31, 2023); and
•
proceeds from the issuance of debt.
In the long term, we may also voluntarily repurchase our outstanding debt or equity securities (depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity, contractual restrictions and other factors) through cash purchases, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. We may also fund our cash needs from the issuance of equity securities, subject to market conditions, and through the sale of a portion of our investments in co-investment ventures.

The weighted average remaining maturity for total debt outstanding at both December 31, 2023 and 2022 was 9 years.
Our credit ratings at December 31, 2023 were A and A3 from Standard & Poor's and Moody’s, respectively, each with a stable outlook. These ratings allow us to borrow at an advantageous interest rate. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively impact our business and, in particular, our refinancing and other capital market activities, our ability to manage debt maturities, our future growth and our development and acquisition activity. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization.
At December 31, 2023, we were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants. These covenants include a number of customary financial covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage ratios, leverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios.
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our debt.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by and used in operating activities, exclusive of changes in receivables and payables, was impacted by the following significant activities:
•
Real Estate Segment. We receive the majority of our operating cash through the net revenues of our Real Estate Segment, including the recovery of our operating costs. Cash flows generated by the Real Estate Segment are impacted by our acquisition, development and disposition activities, which are drivers of NOI recognized during each period. See the Results of Operations section above for further explanation of our Real Estate Segment. The revenues from this segment include noncash adjustments for straight-lined rents and amortization of above and below market leases of $613 million and $268 million for 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increase in straight-lined rents and amortization of above and below market leases in 2023 was driven primarily from the Duke acquisition.
•
Strategic Capital Segment. We also generate operating cash through our Strategic Capital Segment by providing asset management and property management and other services to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. See the Results of Operations section above for the key drivers of the net revenues from our Strategic Capital Segment. Included in Strategic Capital Revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Income are the promotes we earn from the third-party investors in our co-investment ventures, which are recognized in operating activities in the period the cash is received, generally the quarter after the revenue is recognized.
•
G&A expenses and equity-based compensation awards. We incurred $390 million and $331 million of G&A expenses in 2023 and 2022, respectively. We recognized equity-based, noncash compensation expenses of $268 million and $175 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively, which were recorded to Rental Expenses in the Real Estate Segment, Strategic Capital Expenses in the Strategic Capital Segment and G&A Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Income.
•
Operating distributions from unconsolidated entities. We received $680 million and $410 million of distributions as a return on our investment from the cash flows generated from the operations of our unconsolidated entities in 2023 and 2022, respectively.
•
Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized. We paid interest, net of amounts capitalized, of $457 million and $234 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this activity.
•
Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds. We paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $149 million and $130 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this activity.
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities is driven by proceeds from the sale of real estate assets that include the contribution of properties we developed to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures as well as the sale of non-strategic operating properties. Cash used in investing activities is principally driven by our capital deployment activities of investing in real estate development, acquisitions and capital expenditures as discussed above. This activity includes real estate portfolios, land for future development, operating properties and other real estate assets. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these activities, including the $3.1 billion real estate portfolio we acquired in the U.S. in the second quarter of 2023. In addition, the following significant transactions also impacted our cash used in and provided by investing activities:
•
Duke Transaction, net of cash acquired. We paid net cash of $92 million to complete the Duke Transaction in 2022 and an additional $33 million of transaction costs in 2023 that were accrued at the time of the acquisition in 2022. The acquisition was financed through the issuance of equity and the assumption of debt in 2022. A portion of this debt was paid down subsequent to acquisition, see the Financing Activities section below. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this transaction.
•
Investments in and advances to our unconsolidated entities. We invested cash in our unconsolidated entities that represented our proportionate share, of $284 million and $442 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. The ventures used the funds for the acquisition of properties, development and repayment of debt. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on our unconsolidated co-investment ventures.
•
Return of investment from unconsolidated entities. We received distributions from unconsolidated entities as a return of investment of $348 million and $77 million in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Included in these amounts were distributions from venture activities including proceeds from property sales, debt refinancing and the redemption of our investment in certain unconsolidated entities. Included in 2023 was also the redemption of our interest in an unconsolidated office joint venture. See Note 4 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this transaction.

•
Net proceeds from (payments on) the settlement of net investment hedges. We received net proceeds of $35 million and $56 million for the settlement of net investment hedges in 2023 and 2022, respectively. See Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our derivative transactions.
Financing Activities
Cash provided by and used in financing activities is principally driven by proceeds from and payments on credit facilities and other debt, along with dividends paid on common and preferred stock and noncontrolling interest contributions and distributions. Our credit facilities support our cash needs for development and acquisition activities on a short-term basis. The original maturity of our borrowings under the credit facilities ranges from overnight to three months.
Our repurchase of and payments on debt and proceeds from the issuance of debt consisted of the following activity (in millions):

We completed the Duke Transaction in 2022 and assumed $4.2 billion of debt. We paid down the balance of $745 million on Duke’s line of credit subsequent to closing the acquisition which is reflected in Net Proceeds From (Payments On) Credit Facilities in the Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow. The assumption of debt was excluded from this table.
Unconsolidated Co-Investment Venture Debt
We had investments in and advances to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures of $8.4 billion at December 31, 2023. The ventures listed below had total third-party debt of $14.9 billion at December 31, 2023 with a weighted average remaining maturity of 7 years and weighted average interest rate of 3.1%. Certain of our ventures do not have third-party debt and are therefore excluded. This debt is non-recourse to Prologis and other investors in the co-investment ventures and bears interest as follows at December 31, 2023 (dollars in millions):
| Total Debt (1) | Weighted Average Interest Rate | Gross Book Value of Real Estate (1) | Ownership % | |||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Prologis Targeted U.S. Logistics Fund | $ | 4,185 | 4.0% | $ | 13,658 | 27.3% | ||||||

| Total | $ | 14,888 | $ | 46,511 |
(1)
The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for all unconsolidated co-investment ventures was 27.3% at December 31, 2023. Loan-to-value, a non-GAAP measure, was calculated as the percentage of total third-party debt to the gross book value of real estate for each venture and weighted based on the cumulative gross book value of all unconsolidated co-investment ventures.
At December 31, 2023, we did not guarantee any third-party debt of the unconsolidated co-investment ventures. In our role as the manager or sponsor, we work with the co-investment ventures to maintain sufficient liquidity and refinance their maturing debt. There can be no assurance that the co-investment ventures will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness on terms as favorable as the maturing debt, or at all. If the ventures are unable to refinance the maturing indebtedness with newly issued debt, they may be able to obtain funds by voluntary capital contributions from us and our partners or by selling assets. Certain of our ventures also have credit facilities, or unencumbered properties, both of which may be used to obtain funds.

Dividend and Distribution Requirements
Our dividend policy on our common stock is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure that we will meet the dividend requirements of the IRC, relative to maintaining our REIT status, while still allowing us to retain cash to fund our capital deployment and other investment activities.
Under the IRC, REITs may be subject to certain federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income.
We paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.87 and $0.79 per common share in 2023 and 2022, respectively. Our future common stock dividends, if and as declared, may vary and will be determined by the Board based upon the circumstances prevailing at the time, including our financial condition, operating results and REIT distribution requirements, and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year.
We make distributions on the common limited partnership units outstanding at the same per unit amount as our common stock dividend. The Class A common limited partnership units (“Class A Units”) in the OP are entitled to a quarterly distribution equal to $0.64665 per unit so long as the common units receive a quarterly distribution of at least $0.40 per unit. We paid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.64665 per Class A Unit in 2023 and 2022.
At December 31, 2023, our Series Q preferred stock had an annual dividend rate of 8.54% per share and the dividends are payable quarterly in arrears.
Pursuant to the terms of our preferred stock, we are restricted from declaring or paying any dividend with respect to our common stock unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the preferred stock have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the relevant dividend period with respect to the preferred stock.
Other Commitments
On an ongoing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition or disposition of individual properties or portfolios of properties.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A critical accounting policy is one that involves an estimate or assumption that is subjective and requires management judgment about the effect of a matter that is inherently uncertain and material to an entity’s financial condition and results of operations. Management’s judgment considers historical and current economic conditions and expectations for the future. Changes in estimates could affect our financial position and specific items in our results of operations that are used by stockholders, potential investors, industry analysts and lenders in their evaluation of our performance. Of the significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, those presented below have been identified by us as meeting the criteria to be considered critical accounting policies as they relate to our financial condition at December 31, 2023, and 2022 and our operating results for the three-year period ended December 31, 2023. Refer to Note 2 for more information on these critical accounting policies.
Asset Acquisitions
We generally account for an acquisition of a single property or portfolio of properties as an asset acquisition. We measure the real estate assets acquired through an asset acquisition based on their cost or total consideration exchanged. The difference between the cost and the estimated fair value (excess or bargain consideration) is allocated to the real estate properties and related lease intangibles on a relative fair value basis. Assets we do not intend to hold long-term are recorded at fair value. At a property-level, we allocate the fair value to the components, which include building, land, improvements, and intangible assets or liabilities related to acquired leases. The most significant portion of the allocation is to building and land and requires the use of market based estimates and assumptions.
The fair value of real estate properties subject to purchase price allocation is based on the expected future cash flows of the property and various characteristics of the markets where the property is located utilizing an income approach methodology, which may be a discounted cash flow analysis or applying a capitalization rate to the estimated net operating income of a property. Key assumptions may include market rents and capitalization rates. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends and market and economic conditions. We determine capitalization rates by market based on recent transactions and other market data and adjust if necessary, based on the property characteristics. The fair value of land is generally based on relevant market data, such as a comparison of the subject site to similar parcels that have recently been sold or are currently being offered on the market for sale. The use of different assumptions to value the acquired properties and allocate the most significant portion of the property value between the building and land could affect the depreciation expense we recognize over the estimated remaining useful life.

Table of Contents
Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
We assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. This assessment is primarily triggered based on the shortening of the expected hold period due to a change in our intent to sell a property in the near term. We have processes to monitor our intent with regard to our investments and the estimated disposition value in comparison to the current carrying value. If our assessment of potential triggering events indicates that the carrying value of a property that we expect to sell in the near term is not recoverable, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the property. We determine the fair value of the property based on the estimated proceeds from disposition that are based on quoted market values, third-party appraisals or discounted cash flow models that utilize the future net operating income of the property and expected market capitalization rates. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business. Changes in economic and operating conditions could impact our intent and the assumptions used in determining the fair value that could result in future impairment.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS/UNITHOLDERS (“FFO”)
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings.
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales net of any related tax, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated properties. We also exclude the gains on revaluation of equity investments upon acquisition of a controlling interest and the gain recognized from a partial sale of our investment, as these are similar to gains from the sales of previously depreciated properties. We exclude similar adjustments from our unconsolidated entities and the third parties’ share of our consolidated co-investment ventures.
Our FFO Measures
Our FFO measures begin with NAREIT’s definition and we make certain adjustments to reflect our business and the way that management plans and executes our business strategy. While not infrequent or unusual, the additional items we adjust for in calculating FFO, as modified by Prologis and Core FFO, both as defined below, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period. Although these items may have a material impact on our operations and are reflected in our financial statements, the removal of the effects of these items allows us to better understand the core operating performance of our properties over the long term. These items have both positive and negative short-term effects on our results of operations in inconsistent and unpredictable directions that are not relevant to our long-term outlook.
We calculate our FFO measures, as defined below, based on our proportionate ownership share of both our unconsolidated and consolidated ventures. We reflect our share of our FFO measures for unconsolidated ventures by applying our average ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity-by-entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our FFO measures to remove the noncontrolling interests share of the applicable reconciling items based on our average ownership percentage for the applicable periods.
These FFO measures are used by management as supplemental financial measures of operating performance and we believe that it is important that stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand the measures management uses. We do not use our FFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance, as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.
We analyze our operating performance principally by the rental revenue of our real estate and the revenues from our strategic capital business, net of operating, administrative and financing expenses. This income stream is not directly impacted by fluctuations in the market value of our investments in real estate or debt securities.
FFO, as modified by Prologis attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“FFO, as modified by Prologis”)
To arrive at FFO, as modified by Prologis, we adjust the NAREIT defined FFO measure to exclude the impact of foreign currency related items and deferred tax, specifically:
•
deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries;
44
Table of Contents
•
current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income tax benefit in earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure; and
•
foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from (i) debt transactions between us and our foreign entities; (ii) third-party debt that is used to hedge our investment in foreign entities; (iii) derivative financial instruments related to any such debt transactions, and (iv) mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative and other financial instruments.
We use FFO, as modified by Prologis, so that management, analysts and investors are able to evaluate our performance against other REITs that do not have similar operations or operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S.
Core FFO attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“Core FFO”)
In addition to FFO, as modified by Prologis, we also use Core FFO. To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust FFO, as modified by Prologis, to exclude the following recurring and nonrecurring items that we recognize directly in FFO, as modified by Prologis:
•
gains or losses from the disposition of land and development properties that were developed with the intent to contribute or sell;
•
income tax expense related to the sale of investments in real estate;
•
impairment charges recognized related to our investments in real estate generally as a result of our change in intent to contribute or sell these properties; and
•
gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt and redemption and repurchase of preferred stock.
We use Core FFO, including by segment and region, to: (i) assess our operating performance as compared to other real estate companies; (ii) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods; (iii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iv) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (v) provide guidance to the financial markets to understand our expected operating performance; and (vi) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results.
Limitations on the use of our FFO measures
While we believe our modified FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREIT’s nor our measures of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant economic components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Accordingly, these are only a few of the many measures we use when analyzing our business. Some of the limitations are:
•
The current income tax expenses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures represent the taxes that are payable.
•
Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are excluded from FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Furthermore, the amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of logistics facilities are not reflected in FFO.
•
Gains or losses from property dispositions and impairment charges related to expected dispositions represent changes in value of the properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO does not capture realized changes in the value of disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions.
•
The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have to be settled at some future point. Our modified FFO measures do not currently reflect any income or expense that may result from such settlement.
•
The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO measures are limited in that they do not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements.
•
The gains and losses on extinguishment of debt or preferred stock that we exclude from our Core FFO, may provide a benefit or cost to us as we may be settling our obligation at less or more than our future obligation.
We compensate for these limitations by using our FFO measures only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP when making our decisions. This information should be read with our complete Consolidated Financial Statements prepared under GAAP. To

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report and the matters described under Item 1A. Risk Factors.
A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for 2022 compared to 2021 is presented below. Information on 2020 is included in graphs only to show year over year trends in our results of operations and operating metrics. Our financial condition for 2020, results of operations for 2020 and 2021 compared to 2020 and details on the acquisitions of Industrial Property Trust Inc. (“IPT” or the “IPT Transaction”) and Liberty Property Trust and Liberty Property Limited Partnership (“Liberty” or the “Liberty Transaction”) referenced throughout this document can be found under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which is incorporated by reference herein to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2021, filed with the SEC on February 9, 2022, and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our Investor Relations website at www.ir.prologis.com.
MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW
Summary of 2022
In 2022, our operating results were robust and we ended the year in a solid financial position. Strong demand and low vacancy in the global logistics markets drove increases in market rents throughout the year, which translated into significant rent change on rollover and same-store growth in our O&M portfolio. Our O&M operating portfolio occupancy was 98.2% at December 31, 2022 and rent change on leases commenced during 2022 was 48.0%, on a net effective basis, based on our ownership share. Our 2022 results are representative of the prospects we see for our business despite challenging headwinds from the capital markets, ongoing inflation, steeply rising interest rates and the war and energy crisis in Europe that are all pressuring the global economy. Due to current market conditions, we expect some decline in asset valuations in 2023 and therefore will continue to be disciplined as we evaluate capital deployment activities, including a focus on build-to-suit developments and a pause on contributions into our open-ended funds in the near term. We believe we are well-positioned to organically grow revenues given the increase in market rents over the last several years and our high lease mark-to-market. However, we will be cautious as we manage our business in this uncertain environment.
We completed the following significant activities in 2022, as described in the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | On October 3, 2022, we completed the Duke Transaction for $23.2 billion through the issuance of equity and assumption of debt. We assumed $4.2 billion of debt with a weighted average stated interest rate of 2.3% and 4.9% at fair value. We paid down the balance of $745 million on Duke’s line of credit subsequent to closing the acquisition. The Duke portfolio was primarily comprised of logistics real estate assets, including 494 industrial operating properties, aggregating 144 million square feet. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | We generated net proceeds of $2.7 billion and realized net gains of $1.2 billion, principally from the contribution of properties to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in Europe and Japan and dispositions of non-strategic assets to third parties, primarily in the U.S. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | We earned promotes aggregating $505 million ($386 million net of related strategic capital expenses), primarily during the third quarter of 2022 from the third-party investors in PELF in Europe. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | With the overall strengthening of the U.S. dollar against the foreign currencies in which we operate, in 2022 we realized net gains upon settlement of undesignated derivative instruments that offset the negative impact of the translation of our earnings to U.S. dollars. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | In June, we terminated our global senior credit facility (the “2019 Global Facility”) and entered into the 2022 Global Facility with a borrowing capacity of up to $3.0 billion and an extended initial maturity date of June 2026. We also upsized our second global senior credit facility (the “2021 Global Facility”), increasing its borrowing capacity up to $2.0 billion. This resulted in increasing our total borrowing capacity under both facilities to $5.0 billion and modifying the base rate of the aggregate lender commitments in U.S. dollars from the U.S. dollar London Inter-bank Offered Rate to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | At December 31, 2022, we had total available liquidity of $4.1 billion, with aggregate availability under our credit facilities of $3.9 billion and unrestricted cash balances of $278 million. |

| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | At December 31, 2022, we had total senior notes of $19.8 billion, with a weighted average remaining maturity of 10 years and an effective interest rate of 2.3%. In addition to the senior notes assumed in the Duke Transaction, we issued $3.3 billion of senior notes in 2022 (principal in millions): |

| (2) | A portion of the net proceeds from the issuance of these notes were used to finance green projects eligible under our green bond framework. |
On October 6, 2022, we completed an exchange offer and consent solicitation for nine series of Duke’s senior notes for an aggregate amount of $3.4 billion, with $3.2 billion, or 96%, of the aggregate principal amount being validly tendered for exchange. The validly tendered senior notes were exchanged for notes issued by the OP. As a result of the consent solicitation, we have no separate remaining financial reporting obligations or financial covenants associated with the senior notes assumed in the Duke Transaction. All other terms of the assumed Duke senior notes remained substantially the same.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We evaluate our business operations based on the NOI of our two operating segments: Real Estate (Rental Operations and Development) and Strategic Capital. NOI by segment is a non-GAAP performance measure that is calculated using revenues and expenses directly from our financial statements. We consider NOI by segment to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance because it helps management and investors understand our operating results.
Below is our NOI by segment per our Consolidated Financial Statements and a reconciliation of NOI by segment to Operating Income per the Consolidated Financial Statements (in millions):

Real Estate Segment
This operating segment principally includes rental revenue and rental expenses recognized from our consolidated properties. We allocate the costs of our property management and leasing functions to the Real Estate Segment through Rental Expenses and the Strategic Capital Segment through Strategic Capital Expenses based on the square footage of the relative portfolios. In addition, this segment is impacted by our development, acquisition and disposition activities.
Below are the components of Real Estate Segment NOI, derived directly from line items in the Consolidated Financial Statements (in millions):
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||

| Real Estate Segment – NOI | $ | 3,688 | $ | 3,105 |
The change in Real Estate Segment (“RES”) NOI in 2022 compared to 2021 of approximately $583 million was impacted by the following activities (in millions):
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| (1) | Acquisition activity is principally due to the Duke Transaction on October 3, 2022. We primarily recognized intangible liabilities for the lower in-place rents, as compared to current market rents, under the acquired leases from Duke. These intangible liabilities are amortized to rental revenues over the remaining lease term, which on average is 64 months. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| (2) | During both periods, we experienced positive rental rate growth. Rental rate growth is a combination of higher rental rates on rollover of leases (or rent change) and contractual rent increases on existing leases. If a lease has a contractual rent increase driven by a metric that is not known at the time the lease commences, such as the consumer price index or a similar metric, the rent increase is not included in rent leveling and therefore impacts the rental revenue we recognize. Significant rent change during both periods continues to be a key driver in increasing rental income. See below for key metrics on rent change on rollover and occupancy. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| (3) | We calculate changes in NOI from development completions period over period by comparing the change in NOI generated on the pool of developments that completed on or after January 1, 2021 through December 31, 2022. |

At December 31, 2022, the consolidated development portfolio, including properties under development and pre-stabilized properties, was expected to be completed before November 2024 with a TEI of $7.5 billion and was 45.2% leased. The development portfolio included 15 buildings that were properties under development by Duke and acquired at the time of the acquisition. Our investment in the development portfolio was $4.2 billion at December 31, 2022 leaving $3.3 billion remaining to be spent. For additional information on our development portfolio at December 31, 2022, see Item 2. Properties.

Capital Expenditures
We capitalize costs incurred in improving and leasing our operating properties as part of the investment basis or within other assets. The following graph summarizes capitalized expenditures, excluding development costs, of our consolidated operating properties during each year:
Our capital expenditures continue to increase year over year as we grow the consolidated operating portfolio through development and acquisitions. We plan to continue allocating capital in 2023 to renovate and modernize our operating portfolio, including the addition of sustainable and efficient building features.
Strategic Capital Segment
This operating segment includes revenues from asset management and property management services performed, transactional services for acquisition, disposition and leasing activity and promote revenue earned primarily from the unconsolidated co-investment ventures. Revenues associated with the Strategic Capital Segment fluctuate because of changes in the size of the portfolios through acquisitions and dispositions, the fair value of the properties and other transactional activity including foreign currency exchange rates and timing of promotes. These revenues are reduced by the direct costs associated with the asset and property-level management expenses for the properties owned by these ventures. We allocate the costs of our property management and leasing functions to the Strategic Capital Segment through Strategic Capital Expenses and to the Real Estate Segment through Rental Expenses based on the square footage of the relative portfolios. For further details regarding the key property information and summarized financial condition and operating results of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

An increase in asset valuations in the co-investment ventures during the promote period is one of the significant drivers of returns that can translate into earning future promote revenues. Included above is promote revenue earned from PELF in September 2022. Approximately 40% of the promote earned by us from the co-investment ventures is paid to our employees as a combination of cash and stock-based awards pursuant to the terms of the PPP and expensed through Strategic Capital Expenses, as vested. |
G&A Expenses
G&A expenses were $331 million and $294 million for 2022 and 2021, respectively. G&A expenses increased in 2022 as compared to 2021, principally due to inflationary increases and higher compensation expenses based on our performance. We expect that 2023 will include additional investments we are making in our Prologis Essentials business, primarily in the energy teams. We capitalize certain internal costs that are incremental and directly related to our development and building improvement activities.

Gains on Real Estate Transactions, Net
Gains on the disposition of development properties and land were $598 million and $817 million for 2022 and 2021, respectively, and primarily included gains from the contribution of properties we developed to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in Europe and Japan for 2022 and additionally in the U.S. for 2021. Gains on other dispositions of investments in real estate were $589 million and $773 million for 2022 and 2021, respectively, which included sales of non-strategic operating properties in the U.S., including properties acquired in the LPT Transaction and the IPT Transaction. Additionally, 2021 included the sale of our ownership interest in one of our

Table of Contents
unconsolidated ventures and the contribution of operating properties to our unconsolidated co-investment venture in the U.S. We utilized the proceeds from these transactions primarily to fund our development activities during both periods. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these transactions.
Our Owned and Managed (“O&M”) Operating Portfolio
We manage our business and review our operating fundamentals on an O&M basis, which includes our consolidated properties and properties owned by our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We believe reviewing the fundamentals this way allows management to understand the entire impact to the financial statements, as it will affect both the Real Estate Segment and the Strategic Capital Segment, as well as the net earnings we recognize from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures based on our ownership. We do not control the unconsolidated co-investment ventures for purposes of GAAP and the presentation of the ventures’ operating information does not represent a legal claim.
Our O&M operating portfolio does not include our development portfolio, value-added properties, non-industrial properties or properties we do not have the intent to hold long-term that are classified as either held for sale or within other real estate investments. Value-added properties are properties we have either acquired at a discount and believe we could provide greater returns post-stabilization or properties we expect to repurpose to a higher and better use. See below for information on our O&M operating portfolio at December 31 (square feet in millions):

Below are the key leasing metrics of our O&M operating portfolio.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | Square feet of leases commenced and weighted average net effective rent change were calculated for leases with initial terms of one year or greater. We retained approximately 70% or more of our customers, based on the total square feet of leases commenced, for each year. In 2022, we experienced a significant increase in net effective rent change due to increasing market rents. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| (2) | Turnover costs include external leasing commissions and tenant improvements and represent the obligations incurred in connection with the lease commencement for leases greater than one year. In 2022, spend on turnover costs remained similar to 2021, however, the value of the leases commenced increased due to strong market rent growth. |
Same Store Analysis
Our same store metrics are non-GAAP financial measures, which are commonly used in the real estate industry and expected from the financial community, on both a net effective and cash basis. We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a “same store” analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, which allows us and investors to analyze our ongoing business operations. We determine our same store metrics on property NOI, which is calculated as rental revenue less rental expense for the applicable properties in the same store population for both consolidated and unconsolidated properties based on our ownership interest, as further defined below.
We define our same store population for the three months ended December 31, 2022 as the properties in our O&M operating portfolio, including the property NOI for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the unconsolidated co-investment ventures at January 1, 2021 and owned throughout the same three-month period in both 2021 and 2022. We believe the drivers of property NOI for the consolidated portfolio are generally the same for the properties owned by the ventures in which we invest and therefore we evaluate the same store metrics of the O&M portfolio based on Prologis’ ownership in the properties (“Prologis Share”). The same store population excludes properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning

of the period (January 1, 2021) and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. To derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the reported period-end exchange rate to translate from local currency into the U.S. dollar, for both periods.
As non-GAAP financial measures, the same store metrics have certain limitations as analytical tools and may vary among real estate companies. As a result, we provide a reconciliation of Rental Revenues less Rental Expenses (“Property NOI”) (from our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to our Same Store Property NOI measures.
We evaluate the results of our same store portfolio on a quarterly basis. The following is a reconciliation of our consolidated rental revenues, rental expenses and property NOI for each quarter in 2022 and 2021 to the full year, as included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and within Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and to the respective amounts in our same store portfolio analysis for the three months ended December 31 (dollars in millions):

| (1) | We exclude properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. We also exclude net termination and renegotiation fees to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each property’s rental revenues without regard to one-time items that are not indicative of the property’s recurring operating performance. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease, offset by the write-off of the asset recorded due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term. Same Store Property NOI is adjusted to include an allocation of property management expenses for our consolidated properties based on the property management services provided to each property (generally, based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, these amounts are eliminated and the actual costs of providing property management and leasing services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expense. |

| (2) | We include the Property NOI for the same store portfolio for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the co-investment ventures based on our investment in the underlying properties. In order to calculate our share of Same Store Property NOI from the co-investment ventures in which we own less than 100%, we use the co-investment ventures’ underlying Property NOI for the same store portfolio and apply our ownership percentage at December 31, 2022 to the Property NOI for both periods, including the properties contributed during the period. We adjust the total Property NOI from the same store portfolio of the co-investment ventures by subtracting the third parties’ share of both consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures. |
During the periods presented, certain wholly owned properties were contributed to a co-investment venture and are included in the same store portfolio. Neither our consolidated results nor those of the co-investment ventures, when viewed individually, would be comparable on a same store basis because of the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (e.g. the results of a contributed property are included in our consolidated results through the contribution date and in the results of the venture subsequent to the contribution date based on our ownership interest at the end of the period). As a result, only line items labeled “Prologis Share of Same Store Property NOI” are comparable period over period.
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| (3) | We further remove certain noncash items (straight-line rent and amortization of fair value lease adjustments) included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to reflect a Same Store Property NOI – Cash measure. |
We manage our business and compensate our executives based on the same store results of our O&M portfolio at 100% as we manage our portfolio on an ownership blind basis. We calculate those results by including 100% of the properties included in our same store portfolio.
Other Components of Income (Expense)
Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net
We recognized net earnings from unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method, of $311 million and $404 million during 2022 and 2021, respectively. Included in 2021 is our share of the gains recognized upon the sale of certain non-strategic assets acquired in the IPT Transaction and the sale by UKLV of its operating properties to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, PELF and PELP.
The earnings we recognize can be impacted by: (i) variances in revenues and expenses of each venture; (ii) the size and occupancy rate of the portfolio of properties owned by each venture; (iii) gains or losses from the dispositions of properties and extinguishment of debt; (iv) our ownership interest in each venture; and (v) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate our share of net earnings to U.S. dollars. See the discussion of our unconsolidated entities above in the Strategic Capital Segment discussion and in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further breakdown of our share of net earnings recognized.
Interest Expense
The following table details our net interest expense (dollars in millions):
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gross interest expense | $ | 345 | $ | 299 | ||||
| Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, net | 24 | 9 | ||||||

| Net interest expense | $ | 309 | $ | 266 | ||||
| Weighted average effective interest rate during the year | 1.8 | % | 1.7 | % |
Interest expense increased in 2022, as compared to 2021, primarily due to assuming $4.2 billion of debt in the Duke Transaction with a weighted average interest rate at fair value of 4.9%, which included $2.9 billion of senior notes and a $501 million term loan. Additionally, we issued $3.3 billion of senior notes with a weighted average interest rate of 2.3%, at the issuance date, in 2022.
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below, for further discussion of our debt and borrowing costs.
Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses) and Other Income (Expense), Net
We recognized foreign currency and derivative gains (losses) and other income (expense), net, of $242 million and $165 million for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to investments in and earnings from our foreign investments. We primarily hedge our foreign currency risk related to our investments by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest thereby providing a natural hedge. We have issued debt in a currency that is not the same functional currency of the borrowing entity and have designated a portion of the debt as a nonderivative net investment hedge. We recognize the remeasurement and settlement of the translation adjustment on the unhedged portion of the debt and accrued interest in unrealized gains or losses. We may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our earnings. We recognize the change in fair value of the

undesignated derivative contracts in unrealized gains and losses. Upon settlement of these transactions, we recognize realized gains or losses.

Losses on Early Extinguishment of Debt, Net
We recognized $20 million and $187 million of losses on the early extinguishment of debt in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The losses in 2021 included the redemption of $1.5 billion of senior notes with stated maturities between 2024 and 2025. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section, for more information regarding our debt.
Income Tax Expense
We recognize income tax expense related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries and in the local, state and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Our current income tax expense (benefit) fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our taxable income, including gains on the disposition of properties and fees earned from the co-investment ventures. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences and the utilization of net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets in taxable subsidiaries.
The following table summarizes our income tax expense (benefit) (in millions):
| 2022 | 2021 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current income tax expense (benefit): | ||||||||
| Income tax expense | $ | 130 | $ | 108 | ||||

Our income taxes are discussed in more detail in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
This amount represents the third-party investors’ share of the earnings generated in consolidated entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity, reduced by the third-party share of fees or promotes payable to us and earned during the period. We had net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests of $191 million and $209 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Included in these amounts were $92 million and $82 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively, of net earnings attributable to the common limited partnership unitholders of Prologis, L.P. Included in 2021 was the sale of non-strategic operating properties in our consolidated co-investment venture in the U.S.
See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our noncontrolling interests.

Table of Contents
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The key driver of changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI/L”) in 2022 and 2021 was the currency translation adjustment derived from changes in exchange rates during both periods primarily on our net investments in real estate outside the U.S. and the borrowings we issue in the functional currencies of the countries where we invest. These borrowings serve as a natural hedge of our foreign investments. In addition, we use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our foreign investments and interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk, that when designated the change in fair value is included in AOCI/L.
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our foreign currency and derivative financial instrument policies and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our derivative and nonderivative transactions and other comprehensive income (loss).
ENVIRONMENTAL MATTERS
See Note 16 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about environmental liabilities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, distributions from our co-investment ventures, contributions and dispositions of properties and available financing sources to be adequate to meet our anticipated future development, acquisition, operating, debt service, dividend and distribution requirements.
Given the uncertain macro environment and the impact on real estate valuations, we expect to be cautious as we evaluate capital deployment activities, including a focus on build-to-suit developments and a pause on contributions in the near term.
Near-Term Principal Cash Sources and Uses
In addition to dividends and distributions, we expect our primary cash needs will consist of the following:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | completion of the development and leasing of the properties in our consolidated development portfolio (at December 31, 2022, 136 properties in our development portfolio were 45.2% leased with a current investment of $4.2 billion and a TEI of $7.5 billion when completed and leased, leaving $3.3 billion of estimated additional required investment); |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | development of new properties that we may hold for long-term investment or subsequently contribute to unconsolidated co-investment ventures, including the acquisition of land; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | the acquisition of other real estate investments that we acquire with the intention of redeveloping into industrial properties; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | capital expenditures and leasing costs on properties in our operating portfolio, including investments in solar panels and other renewable energy improvements; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | repayment of debt and scheduled principal payments of $33 million in 2023; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | additional investments in current and future unconsolidated co-investment ventures and other ventures; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | the acquisition of operating properties or portfolios of operating properties (depending on market and other conditions) for direct, long-term investment in our consolidated portfolio (this might include acquisitions from our unconsolidated entities). In October 2022, we completed the Duke Transaction for $23.2 billion through the issuance of equity and the assumption of debt. |
We expect to fund our cash needs principally from the following sources (subject to market conditions):
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | net cash flow from property operations; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | fees earned for services performed on behalf of co-investment ventures; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | distributions received from co-investment ventures; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | proceeds from the contribution of properties to current or future co-investment ventures; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | proceeds from the disposition of properties or other investments to third parties; |

|---|---|
| • | borrowing capacity under our current credit facility arrangements ($3.9 billion available at December 31, 2022); and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | proceeds from the issuance of debt. |
Long-term, we may also voluntarily repurchase our outstanding debt or equity securities (depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity, contractual restrictions and other factors) through cash purchases, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. We may also fund our cash needs from the issuance of equity securities, subject to market conditions, and the through sale of a portion of our investments in co-investment ventures.

Our credit ratings at December 31, 2022, were A3 from Moody’s with a stable outlook and A from Standard & Poor’s with a stable outlook. These ratings allow us to borrow at an advantageous interest rate. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively impact our business and, in particular, our refinancing and other capital market activities, our ability to manage debt maturities, our future growth and our development and acquisition activity. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization.
At December 31, 2022, we were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants. These covenants include a number of customary financial covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage ratios, leverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios.
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our debt.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by and used in operating activities, exclusive of changes in receivables and payables, was impacted by the following significant activities:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Real Estate Segment. We receive the majority of our operating cash through the net revenues of our Real Estate Segment, including the recovery of our operating costs. Cash flows generated by the Real Estate Segment are impacted by our acquisition, development and disposition activities, which are drivers of NOI recognized during each period. See the Results of Operations section above for further explanation of our Real Estate Segment. The revenues from this segment include noncash adjustments for straight-lined rents and amortization of above and below market leases of $268 million and $148 million for 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Strategic Capital Segment. We also generate operating cash through our Strategic Capital Segment by providing asset management and property management and other services to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. See the Results of Operations section above for the key drivers of the net revenues from our Strategic Capital Segment. Included in Strategic Capital Revenues is the third-party investors’ share that is owed for promotes, which is recognized in operating activities in the period the cash is received, generally the quarter after the revenue is recognized. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | G&A expenses and equity-based compensation awards. We incurred $331 million and $294 million of G&A expenses in 2022 and 2021, respectively. We recognized equity-based, noncash compensation expenses of $175 million and $113 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively, which were recorded to Rental Expenses in the Real Estate Segment, Strategic Capital Expenses in the Strategic Capital Segment and G&A Expenses. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Operating distributions from unconsolidated entities. We received $410 million and $440 million of distributions as a return on our investment from the cash flows generated from the operations of our unconsolidated entities in 2022 and 2021, respectively. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized. We paid interest, net of amounts capitalized, of $234 million and $279 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this activity. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds. We paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $130 million and $149 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this activity. |
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities is driven by proceeds from the sale of real estate assets that include the contribution of properties we developed to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures as well as the sale of operating properties. Contribution and disposition activity in 2022 was significantly lower than in 2021 due to the sale of non-strategic assets in 2021 and a pause on contributions in the fourth quarter of 2022. Cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by our capital deployment activities of investing in real estate development, acquisitions and capital expenditures as discussed above. Acquisition activity includes land for future development, operating properties and other real estate assets. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these activities. In addition, the following significant transactions also impacted our cash used in and provided by investing activities:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Duke Transaction, net of cash acquired. We paid net cash of $92 million to complete the Duke Transaction in 2022, primarily due to transaction costs. The acquisition was financed through the issuance of equity and the assumption of debt. A portion of this debt was paid down subsequent to the acquisition, see the Financing Activities section below. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this transaction. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Investments in and advances to our unconsolidated entities. We invested cash in our unconsolidated entities that represented our proportionate share, of $442 million and $798 million in 2022 and 2021, respectively. The ventures used the funds for the acquisition of properties, development and repayment of debt. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. |

Financing Activities
Cash provided by and used in financing activities is principally driven by proceeds from and payments on credit facilities and other debt, along with dividends paid on common and preferred stock and noncontrolling interest contributions and distributions.
Our repurchase of and payments on debt and proceeds from the issuance of debt consisted of the following activity (in millions):

Unconsolidated Co-Investment Venture Debt
We had investments in and advances to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures of $8.1 billion at December 31, 2022. The ventures listed below had total third-party debt of $13.5 billion at December 31, 2022 with a weighted average remaining maturity of 7 years and weighted average interest rate of 2.8%. Certain of our ventures do not have third-party debt and are therefore excluded. This debt is non-recourse to Prologis and other investors in the co-investment ventures and bears interest as follows at December 31, 2022 (dollars in millions):

| (1) | The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for all unconsolidated co-investment ventures was 26.3% at December 31, 2022. Loan-to-value, a non-GAAP measure, was calculated as the percentage of total third-party debt to the gross book value of real estate for each venture and weighted based on the cumulative gross book value of all unconsolidated co-investment ventures. |
At December 31, 2022, we did not guarantee any third-party debt of the unconsolidated co-investment ventures. In our role as the manager or sponsor, we work with the co-investment ventures to maintain sufficient liquidity and refinance their maturing debt. There can be no assurance that the co-investment ventures will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness on terms as favorable as the maturing debt, or at all. If the ventures are unable to refinance the maturing indebtedness with newly issued debt, they may be able to obtain funds by voluntary capital contributions from us and our partners or by selling assets. Certain of our ventures also have credit facilities, or unencumbered properties, both of which may be used to obtain funds.

Dividend and Distribution Requirements
Our dividend policy on our common stock is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure that we will meet the dividend requirements of the IRC, relative to maintaining our REIT status, while still allowing us to retain cash to fund our capital deployment and other investment activities.
Under the IRC, REITs may be subject to certain federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income.
We paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.79 and $0.63 per common share in 2022 and 2021, respectively. Our future common stock dividends, if and as declared, may vary and will be determined by the Board based upon the circumstances prevailing at the time, including our financial condition, operating results and REIT distribution requirements, and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year.
We make distributions on the common limited partnership units outstanding at the same per unit amount as our common stock dividend. The Class A common limited partnership units (“Class A Units”) in the OP are entitled to a quarterly distribution equal to $0.64665 per unit so long as the common units receive a quarterly distribution of at least $0.40 per unit. We paid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.64665 per Class A Unit in 2022 and 2021.
At December 31, 2022, our Series Q preferred stock had an annual dividend rate of 8.54% per share and the dividends are payable quarterly in arrears.
Pursuant to the terms of our preferred stock, we are restricted from declaring or paying any dividend with respect to our common stock unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the preferred stock have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the relevant dividend period with respect to the preferred stock.
Other Commitments
On an ongoing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition or disposition of individual properties or portfolios of properties.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A critical accounting policy is one that involves an estimate or assumption that is subjective and requires management judgment about the effect of a matter that is inherently uncertain and material to an entity’s financial condition and results of operations. Management’s judgment considers historical and current economic conditions and expectations for the future. Changes in estimates could affect our financial position and specific items in our results of operations that are used by stockholders, potential investors, industry analysts and lenders in their evaluation of our performance. Of the significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, those presented below have been identified by us as meeting the criteria to be considered critical accounting policies as they relate to our financial condition as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 and our operating results for the three-year period ended December 31, 2022. Refer to Note 2 for more information on these critical accounting policies.
Asset Acquisitions
We generally account for an acquisition of a single property or portfolio of properties as an asset acquisition. We measure the real estate assets acquired through an asset acquisition based on their cost or total consideration exchanged. The difference between the cost and the estimated fair value (excess or bargain consideration) is allocated to the real estate properties and related lease intangibles on a relative fair value basis. Assets we do not intend to hold long-term are recorded at fair value. At a property-level, we allocate the fair value to the components, which include building, land, improvements, and intangible assets or liabilities related to acquired leases. The most significant portion of the allocation is to building and land and requires the use of market based estimates and assumptions.
The fair value of real estate properties subject to purchase price allocation is based on the expected future cash flows of the property and various characteristics of the markets where the property is located utilizing an income approach methodology, which may be a discounted cash flow analysis or applying a capitalization rate to the estimated net operating income of a property. Key assumptions may include market rents and capitalization rates. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends and market and economic conditions. We determine capitalization rates by market based on recent transactions and other market data and adjust if necessary, based on the property characteristics. The fair value of land is generally based on relevant market data, such as a comparison of the subject site to similar parcels that have recently been sold or are currently being offered on the market for sale. The use of different assumptions to value the acquired properties and allocate the most significant portion of the property value between the building and land could affect the depreciation expense we recognize over the estimated remaining useful life.
Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
We assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. This assessment is primarily triggered based on the shortening of the
41
Table of Contents
expected hold period due to our change in intent to sell a property in the near term. We have processes to monitor our intent with regard to our investments and the estimated disposition value in comparison to the current carrying value. If our assessment of potential triggering events indicates that the carrying value of a property that we expect to sell in the near term is not recoverable, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the property. We determine the fair value of the property based on the proceeds from disposition that are estimated based on quoted market values, third-party appraisals or discounted cash flow models that utilize the future net operating income of the property and expected market capitalization rates. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business. Changes in economic and operating conditions could impact our intent and the assumptions used in determining the fair value that could result in future impairment.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
None.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS/UNITHOLDERS (“FFO”)
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings.
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales net of any related tax, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated properties. We also exclude the gains on revaluation of equity investments upon acquisition of a controlling interest and the gain recognized from a partial sale of our investment, as these are similar to gains from the sales of previously depreciated properties. We exclude similar adjustments from our unconsolidated entities and the third parties’ share of our consolidated co-investment ventures.
Our FFO Measures
Our FFO measures begin with NAREIT’s definition and we make certain adjustments to reflect our business and the way that management plans and executes our business strategy. While not infrequent or unusual, the additional items we adjust for in calculating FFO, as modified by Prologis and Core FFO, both as defined below, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period. Although these items may have a material impact on our operations and are reflected in our financial statements, the removal of the effects of these items allows us to better understand the core operating performance of our properties over the long term. These items have both positive and negative short-term effects on our results of operations in inconsistent and unpredictable directions that are not relevant to our long-term outlook.
We calculate our FFO measures, as defined below, based on our proportionate ownership share of both our unconsolidated and consolidated ventures. We reflect our share of our FFO measures for unconsolidated ventures by applying our average ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our FFO measures to remove the noncontrolling interests share of the applicable reconciling items based on our average ownership percentage for the applicable periods.
These FFO measures are used by management as supplemental financial measures of operating performance and we believe that it is important that stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand the measures management uses. We do not use our FFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance, as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.
We analyze our operating performance principally by the rental revenue of our real estate and the revenues from our strategic capital business, net of operating, administrative and financing expenses. This income stream is not directly impacted by fluctuations in the market value of our investments in real estate or debt securities.
FFO, as modified by Prologis attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“FFO, as modified by Prologis”)
To arrive at FFO, as modified by Prologis, we adjust the NAREIT defined FFO measure to exclude the impact of foreign currency related items and deferred tax, specifically:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income tax benefit in earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from (i) debt transactions between us and our foreign entities, (ii) third-party debt that is used to hedge our investment in foreign entities, (iii) derivative financial instruments related to any such debt transactions, and (iv) mark-to-market adjustments associated with other derivative financial instruments. |
42
Table of Contents
We use FFO, as modified by Prologis, so that management, analysts and investors are able to evaluate our performance against other REITs that do not have similar operations or operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S.
Core FFO attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“Core FFO”)
In addition to FFO, as modified by Prologis, we also use Core FFO. To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust FFO, as modified by Prologis, to exclude the following recurring and nonrecurring items that we recognize directly in FFO, as modified by Prologis:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | gains or losses from the disposition of land and development properties that were developed with the intent to contribute or sell; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | income tax expense related to the sale of investments in real estate; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | impairment charges recognized related to our investments in real estate generally as a result of our change in intent to contribute or sell these properties; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt and redemption and repurchase of preferred stock; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | expenses related to natural disasters. |
We use Core FFO, including by segment and region, to: (i) assess our operating performance as compared to other real estate companies; (ii) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods; (iii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iv) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (v) provide guidance to the financial markets to understand our expected operating performance; and (vi) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results.
Limitations on the use of our FFO measures
While we believe our modified FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREIT’s nor our measures of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant economic components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Accordingly, these are only a few of the many measures we use when analyzing our business. Some of the limitations are:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | The current income tax expenses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures represent the taxes that are payable. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are excluded from FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Furthermore, the amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of logistics facilities are not reflected in FFO. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Gains or losses from property dispositions and impairment charges related to expected dispositions represent changes in value of the properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO does not capture realized changes in the value of disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have to be settled at some future point. Our modified FFO measures do not currently reflect any income or expense that may result from such settlement. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO measures are limited in that they do not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | The gains and losses on extinguishment of debt or preferred stock that we exclude from our Core FFO, may provide a benefit or cost to us as we may be settling our obligation at less or more than our future obligation. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | The natural disaster expenses that we exclude from Core FFO are costs that we have incurred. |
We compensate for these limitations by using our FFO measures only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP when making our decisions. This information should be read with our complete Consolidated Financial Statements prepared under GAAP. To assist investors in compensating for these limitations, we reconcile our modified FFO measures to our net earnings computed under GAAP as follows (in millions):

ITEM 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8. Financial Statements and Supplementary Data of this report and the matters described under Item 1A. Risk Factors.
A discussion regarding our financial condition and results of operations for 2021 compared to 2020 is presented below. Information on 2019 is included in graphs only to show year over year trends in our results of operations and operating metrics. Our financial condition for 2019, results of operations for 2019 and 2020 compared to 2019 and details on the IPT Transaction and LPT Transaction referenced throughout this document can be found under Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, which is incorporated by reference herein to our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 11, 2021, and is available on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov and our Investor Relations website at www.ir.prologis.com.
MANAGEMENT’S OVERVIEW
Summary of 2021
Our financial condition and operating results were strong during 2021. E-commerce continues to grow well above its historical average and demand for space is robust based on our proprietary data. As demand surges, having the right logistics real estate in the right location is mission critical for our customers, which is evident with our O&M occupancy at 97.7% at December 31, 2021. Leasing activity accelerated for our portfolio during 2021. Our outlook for 2022 is equally as promising as we expect increases in market rents and asset valuations to drive our operating results as well as our execution of profitable deployment activities.
We generated net proceeds of $5.2 billion and realized net gains of $1.6 billion, principally from the contribution of properties to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in Japan, Europe and the U.S. and dispositions to third parties.
We earned promotes aggregating $98 million ($43 million net of related expenses), primarily during the fourth quarter of 2021 from one of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in Europe.
In December 2021, UKLV sold its operating properties to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, PELF and PELP, and its land to us.

We completed the following consolidated financing activities that included the issuance of $2.9 billion and redemption of $1.5 billion of senior notes, with aggregate principal amounts in U.S. dollars. This resulted in a consolidated weighted average remaining maturity of 10 years and lowered our weighted average effective interest rate to 1.6% at December 31, 2021 (principal in millions):

At December 31, 2021, we had total available liquidity of $5.0 billion, principally due to aggregate availability under our credit facilities of $4.4 billion and unrestricted cash balances of $556 million. In April 2021, we increased our available liquidity by entering into a second global senior credit facility with an available borrowing capacity of $1.0 billion and we terminated the $500 million multi-currency term loan.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
We evaluate our business operations based on the NOI of our two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital. NOI by segment is a non-GAAP performance measure that is calculated using revenues and expenses directly from our financial statements. We consider NOI by segment to be an appropriate supplemental measure of our performance because it helps management and investors understand our operating results.
Below is a reconciliation of our NOI by segment to Operating Income per the Consolidated Financial Statements (in millions). Each segment’s NOI is reconciled to line items in the Consolidated Financial Statements as provided in the related discussion below.
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||

Real Estate Operations
This operating segment principally includes rental revenue and rental expenses recognized from our consolidated properties. We allocate the costs of our property management and leasing functions to the Real Estate Operations segment through Rental Expenses

and the Strategic Capital segment through Strategic Capital Expenses based on the square footage of the relative portfolios. In addition, this segment is impacted by our development, acquisition and disposition activities.

| Real Estate Operations – NOI | $ | 3,105 | $ | 2,820 |
The change in Real Estate Operations (“REO”) NOI in 2021 compared to 2020 of approximately $285 million was impacted by the following activities (in millions):
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| (1) | During both periods, we experienced positive rental rate growth. Rental rate growth is a combination of higher rental rates on rollover of leases (or rent change) and contractual rent increases on existing leases. If a lease has a contractual rent increase driven by a metric that is not known at the time the lease commences, such as the consumer price index or a similar metric, the rent increase is not included in rent leveling and therefore impacts the rental revenue we recognize. Significant rent change during both periods continues to be a key driver in increasing rental income. See below for key metrics on rent change on rollover and occupancy for the consolidated operating portfolio. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| (2) | One of the drivers of the increase in NOI in 2021, compared to 2020, was the Liberty Transaction on February 4, 2020. In the transaction we acquired 519 industrial operating properties, aggregating 100 million square feet, and increased our consolidated investments in real estate by approximately $13 billion. |

| (2) | Estimated weighted average margin is calculated on development properties as estimated value creation, less estimated closing costs and taxes, if any, on properties expected to be sold or contributed, divided by TEI. |
At December 31, 2021, the consolidated development portfolio, including properties under development and pre-stabilized properties, was expected to be completed before October 2023 with a TEI of $4.7 billion, leaving $2.0 billion remaining to be spent and was 54.6% leased. While construction costs increased during 2021, we continue to maintain high margins as a result of lower capitalization rates and higher market rents. Our current investment in the development portfolio was $2.7 billion and we expect our development activities to increase in 2022. For additional information on our development portfolio at December 31, 2021, see Item 2. Properties.

Capital Expenditures
We capitalize costs incurred in improving and leasing our operating properties as part of the investment basis or within other assets. The following graph summarizes capitalized expenditures, excluding development costs, and property improvements per average square foot of our consolidated operating properties during each year:
Our capital expenditures continue to increase year over year as we grow the consolidated operating portfolio through development stabilizations and acquisitions. We plan to continue allocating capital in 2022 to renovate and modernize our operating portfolio, including the addition of sustainable and efficient building features.
Strategic Capital
This operating segment includes revenues from asset management and property management services performed, transactional services for acquisition, disposition and leasing activity and promote revenue earned from the unconsolidated entities. Revenues associated with the Strategic Capital segment fluctuate because of changes in the size of the portfolios through acquisitions and dispositions, the fair value of the properties and other transactional activity including foreign currency exchange rates and timing of promotes. These revenues are reduced by the direct costs associated with the asset and property-level management expenses for the properties owned by these ventures. We allocate the costs of our property management and leasing functions to the Strategic Capital segment through Strategic Capital Expenses and to the Real Estate Operations segment through Rental Expenses based on the square footage of the relative portfolios. For further details regarding the key property information and summarized financial condition and operating results of our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, refer to Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

An increase in asset valuations in the co-investment ventures, as we have experienced in 2021, is one of the significant drivers of returns that can translate into earning future promote revenues. Approximately 40% of the promote earned by us from the co-investment ventures is paid to our employees as a combination of cash and stock awards pursuant to the terms of the PPP and expensed through Strategic Capital Expenses, as vested. |
G&A Expenses
G&A expenses were $294 million and $275 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively. G&A expenses increased in 2021 as compared to 2020, due to higher compensation expenses based largely on our outperformance and the increase in our share price. We capitalize certain internal costs, including salaries and related expenses, directly related primarily to our development activities. For discussion on our long-term incentive plans refer to the proxy statement for our 2021 annual meeting of stockholders.

Gains on Real Estate Transactions, Net
Gains on the disposition of development properties and land were $817 million and $465 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively, and primarily included gains from the contribution of properties we developed to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures in Japan, the U.S. and Europe. Gains on other dispositions of investments in real estate were $773 million and $252 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively, which included sales of operating properties, including certain non-strategic assets acquired in the Liberty Transaction and the IPT Transaction, the contribution of operating properties to our unconsolidated co-investment venture in the U.S. and the sale of our ownership interest in other unconsolidated ventures. We utilized the proceeds from these transactions primarily to fund our development activities during both periods. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these transactions.

Our Owned and Managed (“O&M”) Operating Portfolio
We manage our business and review our operating fundamentals on an O&M basis, which includes our consolidated properties and properties owned by our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We believe reviewing the fundamentals this way allows management to understand the entire impact to the financial statements, as it will affect both the Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital segments, as well as the net earnings we recognize from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures based on our ownership. We do not control the unconsolidated co-investment ventures for purposes of GAAP and the presentation of the ventures’ operating information does not represent a legal claim.
Our O&M operating portfolio does not include our development portfolio, value-added properties, non-industrial properties or properties we do not have the intent to hold long-term that are classified as either held for sale or within other real estate investments. Value-added properties are properties we have either acquired at a discount and believe we could provide greater returns post-stabilization or properties we expect to repurpose to a higher and better use. See below for information on our O&M operating portfolio at December 31 (square feet in millions):

|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Number of Properties | Square Feet | Percentage Occupied | Number of Properties | Square Feet | Percentage Occupied | ||||||||||||||||||

Below are the key leasing metrics of our O&M operating portfolio.
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| (1) | Square feet of leases commenced and weighted average net effective rent change were calculated for leases with initial terms of one year or greater. We retained approximately 70% or more of our customers, based on the total square feet of leases commenced, for each year. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|
| (2) | Turnover costs include external leasing commissions and tenant improvements and represent the obligations incurred in connection with the lease commencement for leases greater than one year. As a result of higher rents on leases that commenced in 2021, leasing commissions on a per square foot basis have continued to increase as commissions are based on the contractual rent we receive over the lease term. |
Same Store Analysis
Our same store metrics are non-GAAP financial measures, which are commonly used in the real estate industry and expected from the financial community, on both a net effective and cash basis. We evaluate the performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a “same store” analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from period to period, which allows us and investors to analyze our ongoing business operations. We determine our same store metrics on property NOI, which is calculated as rental revenue less rental expense for the applicable properties in the same store population for both consolidated and unconsolidated properties based on our ownership interest, as further defined below.
We define our same store population for the three months ended December 31, 2021 as the properties in our O&M operating portfolio, including the property NOI for both consolidated properties and properties owned by the unconsolidated co-investment ventures at January 1, 2020 and owned throughout the same three-month period in both 2020 and 2021. We believe the drivers of property NOI for the consolidated portfolio are generally the same for the properties owned by the ventures in which we invest and therefore we evaluate the same store metrics of the O&M portfolio based on Prologis’ ownership in the properties (“Prologis Share”). The same store population excludes properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period (January 1, 2020) and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. To derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the reported period-end exchange rate to translate from local currency into the U.S. dollar, for both periods.

As non-GAAP financial measures, the same store metrics have certain limitations as an analytical tool and may vary among real estate companies. As a result, we provide a reconciliation of Rental Revenues less Rental Expenses (“Property NOI”) (from our Consolidated Financial Statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP) to our Same Store Property NOI measures.
We evaluate the results of our same store portfolio on a quarterly basis. The following is a reconciliation of our consolidated rental revenues, rental expenses and property NOI for each quarter in 2021 and 2020 to the full year, as included in the Consolidated Statements of Income and within Note 19 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and to the respective amounts in our same store portfolio analysis for the three months ended December 31 (dollars in millions):

| (1) | We exclude properties held for sale to third parties, along with development properties that were not stabilized at the beginning of the period and properties acquired or disposed of to third parties during the period. We also exclude net termination and renegotiation fees to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each property’s rental revenues without regard to one-time items that are not indicative of the property’s recurring operating performance. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease, offset by the write-off of the asset recorded due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term. Same Store Property NOI is adjusted to include an allocation of property management expenses for our consolidated properties based on the property management services provided to each property (generally, based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, these amounts are eliminated and the actual costs of providing property management and leasing services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expense. |

We adjust the total Property NOI from the same store portfolio of the co-investment ventures by subtracting the third parties’ share of both consolidated and unconsolidated co-investment ventures. |
During the periods presented, certain wholly owned properties were contributed to a co-investment venture and are included in the same store portfolio. Neither our consolidated results nor those of the co-investment ventures, when viewed individually,

would be comparable on a same store basis because of the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (e.g. the results of a contributed property are included in our consolidated results through the contribution date and in the results of the venture subsequent to the contribution date based on our ownership interest at the end of the period). As a result, only line items labeled “Prologis Share of Same Store Property NOI” are comparable period over period.

| (3) | We further remove certain noncash items (straight-line rent and amortization of fair value lease adjustments) included in the financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP to reflect a Same Store Property NOI – Cash measure. |
We manage our business and compensate our executives based on the same store results of our O&M portfolio at 100% as we manage our portfolio on an ownership blind basis. We calculate those results by including 100% of the properties included in our same store portfolio.
Other Components of Income (Expense)
Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net
We recognized net earnings from unconsolidated entities, which are accounted for using the equity method, of $404 million and $297 million during 2021 and 2020, respectively. Included in 2021 is our share of the gains recognized upon the sale of certain non-strategic assets acquired in the IPT Transaction and the sale by UKLV of its operating properties to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, PELF and PELP.
The earnings we recognize can be impacted by: (i) variances in revenues and expenses of each venture; (ii) the size and occupancy rate of the portfolio of properties owned by each venture; (iii) gains or losses from the dispositions of properties and extinguishment of debt; (iv) our ownership interest in each venture; and (v) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate our share of net earnings to U.S. dollars. See the discussion of our unconsolidated entities above in the Strategic Capital segment discussion and in Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a further breakdown of our share of net earnings recognized.
Interest Expense
The following table details our net interest expense (dollars in millions):
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Gross interest expense | $ | 299 | $ | 348 | ||||
| Amortization of debt discount and debt issuance costs, net | 9 | 9 | ||||||

| Net interest expense | $ | 266 | $ | 315 | ||||
| Weighted average effective interest rate during the year | 1.7 | % | 2.2 | % |
Although our debt balances have increased, interest expense decreased in 2021 as compared to 2020 due to our refinancing activities to redeem higher interest rate senior notes before their stated maturities. As a result of these activities, we lowered the consolidated weighted average effective interest rate on our senior notes from 2.4% on January 1, 2020 to 1.7% on December 31, 2021 while extending the weighted average remaining maturity of our senior notes from 8 to 12 years over the same two-year period.
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section below, for further discussion of our debt and borrowing costs.
Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses), Net
We are exposed to foreign currency exchange risk related to investments in and earnings from our foreign investments. We may use derivative financial instruments to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our earnings. We recognize the change in fair value of the undesignated derivative contracts in unrealized gains and losses. Upon settlement of these transactions, we recognize realized gains or losses.
We primarily hedge our foreign currency risk related to our investments by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest thereby providing a natural hedge. We have issued debt in a currency that is not the same functional currency of the borrowing entity and have designated a portion of the debt as a nonderivative net investment hedge. We recognize the remeasurement and settlement of the translation adjustment on the unhedged portion of the debt and accrued interest in unrealized gains or losses.

Losses on Early Extinguishment of Debt, Net
We recognized $187 million and $188 million of losses on the early extinguishment of debt in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The losses during both periods were driven by the redemption of certain higher interest rate senior notes before their stated maturity. We compare any prepayment penalties incurred from the early redemption of the borrowings to the potential interest savings over the term, and make a decision to refinance the debt when it is economically viable. We redeemed $1.5 billion of senior notes with stated maturities of 2024 and 2025 in 2021 and $2.6 billion of senior notes with stated maturities between 2021 and 2024 in 2020. The losses in 2020 also included the extinguishment of debt assumed in the Liberty Transaction and the IPT Transaction, which represented the excess of the prepayment penalties over the premium recorded upon assumption of the debt. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and the Liquidity and Capital Resources section, for more information regarding our debt repurchases.
Income Tax Expense
We recognize income tax expense related to our taxable REIT subsidiaries and in the local, state and foreign jurisdictions in which we operate. Our current income tax expense fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our taxable income, including gains on the disposition of properties and fees earned from the co-investment ventures. Deferred income tax expense (benefit) is generally a function of the period’s temporary differences and the utilization of net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously recognized as deferred income tax assets in taxable subsidiaries.
The following table summarizes our income tax expense (benefit) (in millions):
| 2021 | 2020 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Current income tax expense: | ||||||||

Our income taxes are discussed in more detail in Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests
This amount represents the third-party investors’ share of the earnings generated in consolidated entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity, reduced by the third-party share of fees or promotes payable to us and earned during the period. We had net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests of $209 million and $135 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Included in these amounts were $82 million and $42 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively, of net earnings attributable to the common limited partnership unitholders of Prologis, L.P. The recognition of net gains on the sale of the non-strategic assets identified for disposition in the IPT Transaction also increased the net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interests in 2021.
36
Table of Contents
See Note 11 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our noncontrolling interests.
Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The key driver of changes in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) (“AOCI/L”) in 2021 and 2020 was the currency translation adjustment derived from changes in exchange rates during both periods primarily on our net investments in real estate outside the U.S. and the borrowings we issue in the functional currencies of the countries where we invest. These borrowings serve as a natural hedge of our foreign investments. In addition, we use derivative financial instruments, such as foreign currency forward and option contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk related to our foreign investments, that when designated the change in fair value is included in AOCI/L.
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our foreign currency and derivative financial instrument policies and Note 15 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information about our derivative and nonderivative transactions and other comprehensive income (loss).

See Note 16 in the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information about environmental liabilities.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Overview
We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, distributions from our co-investment ventures, contributions and dispositions of properties and available financing sources to be adequate to meet our anticipated future development, acquisition, operating, debt service, dividend and distribution requirements.
Near-Term Principal Cash Sources and Uses
In addition to dividends and distributions, we expect our primary cash needs will consist of the following:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | completion of the development and leasing of the properties in our consolidated development portfolio (at December 31, 2021, 99 properties in our development portfolio were 54.6% leased with a current investment of $2.7 billion and a TEI of $4.7 billion when completed and leased, leaving $2.0 billion of estimated additional required investment); |

| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | acquisition of operating properties or portfolios of operating properties (depending on market and other conditions) for direct, long-term investment in our consolidated portfolio (this might include acquisitions from our co-investment ventures). |
We expect to fund our cash needs principally from the following sources (subject to market conditions):
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | net cash flow from property operations; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | fees earned for services performed on behalf of co-investment ventures, including promotes; |

Table of Contents
Long-term, we may also have a primary cash need related to the voluntary repurchase of our outstanding debt or equity securities (depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity, contractual restrictions and other factors) through cash purchases, open-market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise. We may also fund our cash needs from the issuance of equity securities, subject to market conditions, and the sale of a portion of our investments in co-investment ventures to achieve long-term ownership targets.

Our credit ratings at December 31, 2021, were A3 from Moody’s with a stable outlook and A- from Standard & Poor’s with a positive outlook. These ratings allow us to borrow at an advantageous interest rate. Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively impact our business and, in particular, our refinancing and other capital market activities, our ability to manage debt maturities, our future growth and our development and acquisition activity. A securities rating is not a recommendation to buy, sell or hold securities and is subject to revision or withdrawal at any time by the rating organization.
At December 31, 2021, we were in compliance with all of our financial debt covenants. These covenants include a number of customary financial covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage ratios, leverage ratios and fixed charge coverage ratios.
See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further discussion on our debt.

Operating Activities
Cash provided by and used in operating activities, exclusive of changes in receivables and payables, was impacted by the following significant activities:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Real estate operations. We receive the majority of our operating cash through the net revenues of our Real Estate Operations segment, including the recovery of our operating costs. Cash flows generated by the Real Estate Operations segment are impacted by our acquisition, development and disposition activities, which are drivers of NOI recognized during each period. See the Results of Operations section above for further explanation of our Real Estate Operations segment. The revenues from this segment include noncash adjustments for straight-lined rents and amortization of above and below market leases of $148 million and $126 million for 2021 and 2020, respectively. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Strategic capital. We also generate operating cash through our Strategic Capital segment by providing asset management and property management and other services to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. See the Results of Operations section above for the key drivers of the net revenues from our Strategic Capital segment. Included in Strategic Capital Revenues is the third-party investors’ share that is owed for promotes, which is recognized in operating activities in the period the cash is received, generally the quarter after the revenue is recognized. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | G&A expenses and equity-based compensation awards. We incurred $294 million and $275 million of G&A expenses in 2021 and 2020, respectively. We recognized equity-based, noncash compensation expenses of $113 million and $110 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively, which were recorded to Rental Expenses in the Real Estate Operations segment, Strategic Capital Expenses in the Strategic Capital segment and G&A Expenses. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Operating distributions from unconsolidated entities. We received $440 million and $451 million of distributions as a return on our investment from the cash flows generated from the operations of our unconsolidated entities in 2021 and 2020, respectively. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Cash paid for interest, net of amounts capitalized. We paid interest, net of amounts capitalized, of $279 million and $309 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. See Note 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this activity. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds. We paid income taxes, net of refunds, of $149 million and $101 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. See Note 13 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on this activity. |
Investing Activities
Cash provided by investing activities is driven by proceeds from contributions and dispositions of real estate. During 2021, our dispositions included significant contributions of properties we developed to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures as well as the sale of operating properties. Cash used in investing activities is primarily driven by our capital deployment activities of investing in real estate development, acquisitions and capital expenditures. During 2021, our acquisitions included significant acquisitions of land for future development, operating properties and other real estate assets, including Covered Land Plays to support increased development activities in the future. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on these activities. In addition, the following significant transactions also impacted our cash used in and provided by investing activities:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Liberty Transaction, net of cash acquired. We paid net cash of $29 million to complete the Liberty Transaction in 2020, primarily due to transaction costs. The acquisition was financed through the issuance of equity and the assumption of debt. A portion of this debt was paid down subsequent to the acquisition, see the Financing Activities section below. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this transaction. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | IPT Transaction, net of cash acquired. Our consolidated co-investment venture, USLV, acquired real estate assets from IPT for a cash purchase price of $1.7 billion in 2020. Our partner in USLV contributed their share of the purchase price, $917 million, which is presented in Noncontrolling Interests Contributions in financing activities. All of the debt assumed was paid down subsequent to the acquisition, see the Financing Activities section below. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on this transaction. |

| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Investments in and advances to our unconsolidated entities. We invested cash in our unconsolidated entities that represented our proportionate share, of $798 million and $386 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. The ventures used the funds for the acquisition of properties, development and repayment of debt. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on our unconsolidated co-investment ventures. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Return of investment from unconsolidated entities. We received distributions from unconsolidated entities as a return of investment of $58 million and $257 million in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Included in these amounts were distributions from venture activities including proceeds from property sales, debt refinancing and the redemption of our investment in certain unconsolidated entities. |
Financing Activities
Cash provided by and used in financing activities is principally driven by proceeds from and payments on credit facilities and other debt, along with dividends paid on common and preferred stock and noncontrolling interest contributions and distributions.
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Repurchase of common and preferred stock. We paid $35 million and $7 million to repurchase common shares and shares of Series Q preferred stock, respectively, during 2020. |
Our repurchase of and payments on debt and proceeds from the issuance of debt consisted of the following activity (in millions):

USLV assumed $342 million of debt in the IPT Transaction, all of which was paid off at closing. The assumption of debt was excluded from the table above. |
Unconsolidated Co-Investment Venture Debt
We had investments in and advances to our unconsolidated co-investment ventures of $7.8 billion at December 31, 2021. These ventures listed below had total third-party debt of $12.0 billion at December 31, 2021 with a weighted average remaining maturity of 7 years and weighted average interest rate of 2.2%. Certain of our ventures do not have third-party debt and are therefore excluded. This debt is non-recourse to Prologis and other investors in the co-investment ventures and bears interest as follows at December 31, 2021 (dollars in millions):

| (1) | The weighted average loan-to-value ratio for all unconsolidated co-investment ventures was 25.4% at December 31, 2021. Loan-to-value, a non-GAAP measure, was calculated as the percentage of total third-party debt to the gross book value of real estate for each venture and weighted based on the cumulative gross book value of all unconsolidated co-investment ventures. |
At December 31, 2021, we did not guarantee any third-party debt of the unconsolidated co-investment ventures. In our role as the manager or sponsor, we work with the co-investment ventures to maintain sufficient liquidity and refinance their maturing debt. There can be no assurance that the co-investment ventures will be able to refinance any maturing indebtedness on terms as favorable as the
40
Table of Contents
maturing debt, or at all. If the ventures are unable to refinance the maturing indebtedness with newly issued debt, they may be able to obtain funds by voluntary capital contributions from us and our partners or by selling assets. Certain of our ventures also have credit facilities, or unencumbered properties, both of which may be used to obtain funds.
Dividend and Distribution Requirements
Our dividend policy on our common stock is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure that we will meet the dividend requirements of the IRC, relative to maintaining our REIT status, while still allowing us to retain cash to fund our capital deployment and other investment activities.
Under the IRC, REITs may be subject to certain federal income and excise taxes on undistributed taxable income.
We paid quarterly cash dividends of $0.63 and $0.58 per common share in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Our future common stock dividends, if and as declared, may vary and will be determined by the Board based upon the circumstances prevailing at the time, including our financial condition, operating results and REIT distribution requirements, and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during the year.
We make distributions on the common limited partnership units outstanding at the same per unit amount as our common stock dividend. The Class A Units in the OP are entitled to a quarterly distribution equal to $0.64665 per unit so long as the common units receive a quarterly distribution of at least $0.40 per unit. We paid a quarterly cash distribution of $0.64665 per Class A Unit in 2021 and 2020.
At December 31, 2021, our Series Q preferred stock had an annual dividend rate of 8.54% per share and the dividends are payable quarterly in arrears.
Pursuant to the terms of our preferred stock, we are restricted from declaring or paying any dividend with respect to our common stock unless and until all cumulative dividends with respect to the preferred stock have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for dividends that have been declared for the relevant dividend period with respect to the preferred stock.
Other Commitments
On an ongoing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition or disposition of individual properties or portfolios of properties.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
A critical accounting policy is one that involves an estimate or assumption that is subjective and requires management judgment about the effect of a matter that is inherently uncertain and material to an entity’s financial condition and results of operations. Management’s judgment considers historical and current economic conditions and expectations for the future. Changes in estimates could affect our financial position and specific items in our results of operations that are used by stockholders, potential investors, industry analysts and lenders in their evaluation of our performance. Of the significant accounting policies discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, those presented below have been identified by us as meeting the criteria to be considered critical accounting policies as they relate to our financial condition as of the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 and our operating results for the three-year period ended December 31, 2021. Refer to Note 2 for more information on these critical accounting policies.
Asset Acquisitions
We generally account for an acquisition of a single property or portfolio of properties as an asset acquisition. We measure the real estate assets acquired through an asset acquisition based on their cost or total consideration exchanged and any excess consideration or bargain purchase amount is allocated to the real estate properties and related lease intangibles on a relative fair value basis. Assets we do not intend to hold long-term are recorded at fair value. At a property-level, we allocate the fair value to the components, which include building, land, improvements, and intangible assets or liabilities related to acquired leases. The most significant portion of the allocation is to building and land and requires the use of market based estimates and assumptions.
The purchase price allocation is based on the expected future cash flows of the property and various characteristics of the markets where the property is located utilizing an income approach methodology, which may be a discounted cash flow analysis or applying a capitalization rate to the estimated NOI of a property. Key assumptions include market rents, growth rates, and discount and capitalization rates. Estimates of future cash flows are based on a number of factors including historical operating results, known trends and market and economic conditions. We determine discount and capitalization rates by market based on recent transactions and other market data and adjust if necessary, based on the property characteristics. The fair value of land is generally based on relevant market data, such as a comparison of the subject site to similar parcels that have recently been sold or are currently being offered on the market for sale. The use of different assumptions to value the acquired properties and allocate the most significant portion of the property value between the building and land could affect the expenses we recognize over the estimated remaining useful life.

Table of Contents
Recoverability of Real Estate Assets
We assess the carrying values of our respective long-lived assets whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amounts of these assets may not be fully recoverable. This assessment is primarily triggered based on the shortening of the expected hold period due to our change in intent to sell a property in the near term. We have processes to monitor our intent with regard to our investments and the estimated disposition value in comparison to the current carrying value. If our assessment of potential triggering events indicates that the carrying value of a property that we expect to sell in the near term is not recoverable, we recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying value exceeds the current estimated fair value of the property. We determine the fair value of the property based on the proceeds from disposition that are estimated based on quoted market values, third-party appraisals or discounted cash flow models that utilize the future NOI of the property and expected market capitalization rates. The use of projected future cash flows is based on assumptions that are consistent with our estimates of future expectations and the strategic plan we use to manage our underlying business. Changes in economic and operating conditions could impact our intent and the assumptions used in determining the fair value that could result in future impairment.
NEW ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
FUNDS FROM OPERATIONS ATTRIBUTABLE TO COMMON STOCKHOLDERS/UNITHOLDERS (“FFO”)
FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings.
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) defines FFO as earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales net of any related tax, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated properties. We also exclude the gains on revaluation of equity investments upon acquisition of a controlling interest and the gain recognized from a partial sale of our investment, as these are similar to gains from the sales of previously depreciated properties. We exclude similar adjustments from our unconsolidated entities and the third parties’ share of our consolidated co-investment ventures.
Our FFO Measures
Our FFO measures begin with NAREIT’s definition and we make certain adjustments to reflect our business and the way that management plans and executes our business strategy. While not infrequent or unusual, the additional items we adjust for in calculating FFO, as modified by Prologis and Core FFO, both as defined below, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period. Although these items may have a material impact on our operations and are reflected in our financial statements, the removal of the effects of these items allows us to better understand the core operating performance of our properties over the long term. These items have both positive and negative short-term effects on our results of operations in inconsistent and unpredictable directions that are not relevant to our long-term outlook.
We calculate our FFO measures, as defined below, based on our proportionate ownership share of both our unconsolidated and consolidated ventures. We reflect our share of our FFO measures for unconsolidated ventures by applying our average ownership percentage for the period to the applicable reconciling items on an entity by entity basis. We reflect our share for consolidated ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity by adjusting our FFO measures to remove the noncontrolling interests share of the applicable reconciling items based on our average ownership percentage for the applicable periods.
These FFO measures are used by management as supplemental financial measures of operating performance and we believe that it is important that stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand the measures management uses. We do not use our FFO measures as, nor should they be considered to be, alternatives to net earnings computed under GAAP, as indicators of our operating performance, as alternatives to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP or as indicators of our ability to fund our cash needs.
We analyze our operating performance principally by the rental revenue of our real estate and the revenues from our strategic capital business, net of operating, administrative and financing expenses. This income stream is not directly impacted by fluctuations in the market value of our investments in real estate or debt securities.
FFO, as modified by Prologis attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“FFO, as modified by Prologis”)
To arrive at FFO, as modified by Prologis, we adjust the NAREIT defined FFO measure to exclude the impact of foreign currency related items and deferred tax, specifically:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a deferred income tax benefit in earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure; and |
42
Table of Contents
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from (i) debt transactions between us and our foreign entities, (ii) third-party debt that is used to hedge our investment in foreign entities, (iii) derivative financial instruments related to any such debt transactions, and (iv) mark-to-market adjustments associated with other derivative financial instruments. |
We use FFO, as modified by Prologis, so that management, analysts and investors are able to evaluate our performance against other REITs that do not have similar operations or operations in jurisdictions outside the U.S.
Core FFO attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“Core FFO”)
In addition to FFO, as modified by Prologis, we also use Core FFO. To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust FFO, as modified by Prologis, to exclude the following recurring and nonrecurring items that we recognize directly in FFO, as modified by Prologis:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | gains or losses from the disposition of land and development properties that were developed with the intent to contribute or sell; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | income tax expense related to the sale of investments in real estate; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | impairment charges recognized related to our investments in real estate generally as a result of our change in intent to contribute or sell these properties; |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt and redemption and repurchase of preferred stock; and |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | expenses related to natural disasters. |
We use Core FFO, including by segment and region, to: (i) assess our operating performance as compared to other real estate companies; (ii) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison with expected results and results of previous periods; (iii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iv) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (v) provide guidance to the financial markets to understand our expected operating performance; and (vi) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results.
Limitations on the use of our FFO measures
While we believe our modified FFO measures are important supplemental measures, neither NAREIT’s nor our measures of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant economic components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool. Accordingly, these are only a few of the many measures we use when analyzing our business. Some of the limitations are:
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | The current income tax expenses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures represent the taxes that are payable. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are excluded from FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Furthermore, the amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of logistics facilities are not reflected in FFO. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | Gains or losses from property dispositions and impairment charges related to expected dispositions represent changes in value of the properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO does not capture realized changes in the value of disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have to be settled at some future point. Our modified FFO measures do not currently reflect any income or expense that may result from such settlement. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our modified FFO measures are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO measures are limited in that they do not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | The gains and losses on extinguishment of debt or preferred stock that we exclude from our Core FFO, may provide a benefit or cost to us as we may be settling our obligation at less or more than our future obligation. |
| Column 1 | Column 2 |
|---|---|
| • | The natural disaster expenses that we exclude from Core FFO are costs that we have incurred. |

We compensate for these limitations by using our FFO measures only in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP when making our decisions.
