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 2024 compared to 2023 is presented below. Information on 2022 is included in graphs only to show year over year trends in our results of operations and operating metrics. Our financial condition for 2022, results of operations for 2022, and 2023 compared to 2022 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, 2023, filed with the SEC on February 13, 2024, 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 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.

•
We issued senior notes of $4.2 billion (principal in millions):

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):

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.

Table of Contents

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.

Development Activity

The following table summarizes consolidated development activity (dollars and square feet in millions):

(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.

Below are the components of Strategic Capital Segment NOI derived directly from the line items in the Consolidated Financial Statements (in millions):

Below is additional detail of our Strategic Capital Segment revenues, expenses and NOI (in millions):

(1)
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 and acquisition, disposition, development and other fees.

33

Table of Contents

(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.

34

Table of Contents

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):

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):

(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 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.

36

Table of Contents

(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, 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):

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

37

Table of Contents

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.

The following table details our foreign currency and derivative gains (losses), net included in earnings (in millions):

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.

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):

Our income taxes are discussed in more detail in Note 13 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 $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.

38

Table of Contents

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.

Debt

The following table summarizes information about our consolidated debt by currency at December 31 (dollars in millions):

(1)
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.

Equity Commitments Related to Certain Co-Investment Ventures

Certain co-investment ventures have equity commitments from us and our venture partners. Our venture partners fulfill their equity commitment with cash. We may fulfill our equity commitment through contributions of properties or cash.

The following table summarizes the remaining equity commitments at December 31, 2024 (dollars in millions):

(1)
The equity commitments for the co-investment ventures that operate in a different functional currency than the U.S. dollar were calculated using the foreign currency exchange rate at December 31, 2024.

(2)
Venture partners generally have the option to cancel their equity commitment starting 18 months after the initial commitment date.

See the Cash Flow Summary below for more information about our investment activity in our co-investment ventures.

Cash Flow Summary

The following table summarizes our cash flow activity (in millions):

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.

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.

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
