EXPLANATORY NOTE

This report combines the quarterly reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2015, of Prologis, Inc. and Prologis, L.P. Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, references to “Prologis, Inc.” or the “Parent” mean Prologis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries; and references to “Prologis, L.P.” or the “Operating Partnership” mean Prologis, L.P., and its consolidated subsidiaries. The terms “the Company,” “Prologis,” “we,” “our” or “us” means Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership collectively.

Prologis, Inc. is a real estate investment trust (a “REIT”) and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. At March 31, 2015, Prologis, Inc. owned an approximate 99.62% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership and 100% of the preferred units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 0.38% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of Prologis, Inc. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, Prologis, Inc. has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership.

We operate Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of Prologis, Inc. consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of Prologis, Inc. and employees of the Operating Partnership or one of its subsidiaries. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, Prologis, Inc. consolidates the Operating Partnership for financial reporting purposes. Since the only significant asset of Prologis, Inc. is its investment in the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities of Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

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

·

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

·

eliminates duplicative disclosure and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Company’s disclosure applies to both Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership; and

·

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

We believe it is important to understand the few differences between Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership in the context of how we operate the Company. Prologis, Inc. does not conduct business itself, other than acting as the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership and issuing public equity from time to time. Prologis, Inc. itself does not incur any indebtedness, but guarantees the unsecured debt of the Operating Partnership. The Operating Partnership holds substantially all the assets of the business, directly or indirectly, and holds the ownership interests in the Company’s investment in certain entities. The Operating Partnership conducts the operations of the business and is structured as a partnership with no publicly traded equity. Except for net proceeds from equity issuances by Prologis, Inc., which are contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for partnership units, the Operating Partnership generates capital required by the business through the Operating Partnership’s operations, incurrence of indebtedness and issuance of partnership units to third parties.

Noncontrolling interests, stockholders’ equity and partners’ capital are the main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of Prologis, Inc. and those of the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in the Operating Partnership’s financial statements include the interests in consolidated entities not owned by the Operating Partnership. The noncontrolling interests in Prologis, Inc.’s financial statements include the same noncontrolling interests at the Operating Partnership level, as well as the common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership, not owned by Prologis, Inc., which are accounted for as partners’ capital by the Operating Partnership.

In order to highlight the differences between Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, there are separate sections in this report, as applicable, that separately discuss Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, including separate financial statements and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications. In the sections that combine disclosure of Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership, this report refers to actions or holdings as being actions or holdings of Prologis.

PROLOGIS, INC. AND PROLOGIS, L.P.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.General

 

Business. Prologis, Inc. (or the “Parent”) commenced operations as a fully integrated real estate company in 1997, elected to be taxed as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the “Internal Revenue Code”), and believes the current organization and method of operation will enable it to maintain its status as a REIT. The Parent is the general partner of Prologis, L.P. (or the “Operating Partnership”). Through the Operating Partnership, we are engaged in the ownership, acquisition, development and operation of industrial properties in global and regional markets throughout the Americas, Europe and Asia. Our current business strategy is comprised of two operating business segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital. Our Real Estate Operations segment represents the ownership of industrial properties. Our Strategic Capital segment represents the management of co-investment ventures and other unconsolidated entities. See Note 13 for further discussion of our business segments. Unless otherwise indicated, the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements apply to both the Parent and the Operating Partnership. The terms “the Company,” “Prologis,” “we,” “our” or “us” means the Parent and Operating Partnership collectively.

 

For each share of common stock or preferred stock the Parent issues, the Operating Partnership issues a corresponding common or preferred partnership unit, as applicable, to the Parent in exchange for the contribution of the proceeds from the stock issuance. At March 31, 2015, the Parent owned an approximate 99.62% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership, and 100% of the preferred units in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 0.38% common limited partnership interests are owned by non-affiliated investors and certain current and former directors and officers of the Parent. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Parent has full, exclusive and complete responsibility and discretion in the day-to-day management and control of the Operating Partnership.

 

We operate the Parent and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise. The management of the Parent consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership. These members are officers of the Parent and employees of the Operating Partnership or one of its subsidiaries. As general partner with control of the Operating Partnership, the Parent consolidates the Operating Partnership. Since the Parent’s only significant asset is its investment in the Operating Partnership, the assets and liabilities of the Parent and the Operating Partnership are the same on their respective financial statements.

 

Basis of Presentation. The accompanying Consolidated Financial Statements are prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) and are presented in our reporting currency, the U.S. dollar. All material intercompany transactions with consolidated entities have been eliminated.

 

The accompanying unaudited interim financial information has been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations. Our management believes that the disclosures presented in these financial statements are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly the financial position and results of operations for both the Parent and the Operating Partnership for the reported periods have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the 2014 Consolidated Financial Statements as previously filed with the SEC on Form 10-K and other public information.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In April 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued an accounting standard update that requires the presentation of debt issuance costs in the balance sheet as a deduction from the carrying amount of the related debt liability instead of a deferred charge. It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted. At March 31, 2015, we had $50.1 million of debt issuance costs in Other Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets that would be subject to the reclassification.

 

In February 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that amends the consolidation requirements in existing GAAP. Under the update, all entities, including limited partnerships and similar legal entities, are now within the scope of consolidation guidance, unless a scope exception applies. The presumption that a general partner controls a limited partnership has been eliminated. In addition, fees paid to decision makers that meet certain conditions no longer cause the decision makers to consolidate variable interest entities (“VIEs”). It is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2015, but early adoption is permitted and allows for either a full retrospective or a modified retrospective adoption approach. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In May 2014, the FASB issued an accounting standard update that requires companies to use a five step model to determine when to recognize revenue from customer contracts in an effort to increase consistency and comparability throughout global capital markets and across industries. Under the model, a company will identify the contract, identify any separate performance obligations in the contract, determine the transaction price, allocate the transaction price and recognize revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied. In April 2015, the FASB proposed deferring the effective date by one year to December 15, 2017, for annual reporting periods beginning after that date. The FASB also proposed permitting early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. We are currently evaluating the impact the adoption of this standard will have on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

2.Business Combinations

 

Acquisition of a Controlling Interest in Prologis North American Industrial Fund (“NAIF”)

 

During 2014, we increased our ownership in NAIF from 23.1% to 66.1% by acquiring the equity units from all but one partner for an aggregate of $679.0 million. This included the acquisition of $46.8 million on October 20, 2014, that resulted in our gaining control over NAIF, based on the rights of the limited partners, and therefore we began consolidating NAIF as of that date.

 

The total purchase price was $1.1 billion, which included our investment in NAIF at the time of consolidation. The allocation of the purchase price required a significant amount of judgment and was based on our valuation, estimates and assumptions of the acquisition date fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed, for which we used external valuations as appropriate. While the current allocation of the purchase price is substantially complete, the valuation of the real estate properties is still being finalized. We do not expect future revisions, if any, to have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.

 

The allocation of the purchase price was as follows (in thousands):

4.Unconsolidated Entities

 

Summary of Investments

 

We have investments in entities through a variety of ventures. We co-invest in entities that own multiple properties with partners and investors and provide asset and property management services to these entities, which we refer to as co-investment ventures. These entities may be consolidated or unconsolidated, depending on the structure, our partner’s participation and other rights and our level of control of the entity. This note details our investments in unconsolidated co-investment ventures, which are accounted for using the equity method of accounting. See Note 9 for more detail regarding our consolidated investments.

 

We also have other ventures, generally with one partner and that we do not manage, which we account for on the equity method. We refer to our investments in all entities accounted for under the equity method, both unconsolidated co-investment ventures and other ventures, collectively, as unconsolidated entities.

 

Our investments in and advances to our unconsolidated entities are summarized below (in thousands):

Unconsolidated Co-Investment Ventures

 

The amounts recognized in Strategic Capital Income and Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations depend on the size, operations of the co-investment ventures and fluctuations in foreign currency rates. Our ownership interest in these ventures also impacts the equity in earnings we recognize. The co-investment venture information represents the venture’s information (not our proportionate share) prepared on a GAAP basis.

The difference between our ownership interest of the venture’s equity and our investment balance results principally from three types of transactions: (i) deferring a portion of the gains we recognize from a contribution of a property to the venture; (ii) recording additional costs associated with our investment in the venture; and (iii) advances to the venture.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had receivables from Nippon Prologis REIT, Inc.

Equity Commitments Related to Certain Unconsolidated 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 venture may obtain financing for the properties and therefore the acquisition price of additional investments that the venture could make may be more than the equity commitment. Depending on market conditions, the investment objectives of the ventures, our liquidity needs and other factors, we may make additional contributions of properties and/or additional cash investments in these ventures through the remaining commitment period. During the first quarter of 2015, we contributed $49.1 million of our commitment to Prologis European Logistics Partners for repayment of third-party debt by the venture. We did not enter into any additional equity commitments in the first quarter of 2015.

Exchangeable Senior Notes

 

During March 2015, the holders of the exchangeable notes exchanged $459.8 million of their notes for 11.9 million shares of the Parent and $0.2 million of their notes for cash.

 

The fair value of the derivative associated with the exchangeable debt was a liability of $51.3 million at December 31, 2014. The fair value of the exchange option was $43.0 million immediately prior to the exchange in March 2015. When the debt was exchanged into common stock, the value of the derivative associated with the debt was reclassified to Additional Paid-In Capital in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. We recognized an unrealized gain due to the change in fair value of the derivative of $8.3 million and a loss of $22.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, in Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses) and Related Amortization, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

Included in our debt is a term loan that can be extended until 2019 (two times each at one year), subject to satisfaction of certain conditions and payment of an extension fee.

 

Debt Covenants

 

Our debt agreements contain various covenants, including maintenance of specified financial ratios. At March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all covenants.

 

Early Extinguishment of Debt

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we repurchased $286.5 million of secured mortgage debt prior to maturity, resulting in a loss on early extinguishment of debt of $16.3 million.

 

8.Stockholders’ Equity of Prologis, Inc. and Partners’ Capital of the Operating Partnership

 

Common Stock of Prologis, Inc.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we issued 1.7 million shares of common stock under our at-the-market program (“ATM”), which generated $71.8 million in net proceeds.

 

As discussed in Note 7, we issued 11.9 million shares of stock in the Parent in exchange for the settlement of our exchangeable notes in March 2015.

9.Noncontrolling Interests

 

Prologis, L.P.

 

We report noncontrolling interests related to several entities we consolidate but of which we do not own 100% of the equity. These entities include two real estate partnerships that have issued limited partnership units to third parties. Depending on the specific partnership agreements, these limited partnership units are exchangeable into shares of the Parent’s common stock (or cash), generally at a rate of one share of common stock to one unit. We also consolidate several entities in which we do not own 100% of the equity and the units of the entity are not exchangeable into our common stock.

 

Prologis, Inc.

 

The noncontrolling interest of the Parent includes the noncontrolling interests presented in the Operating Partnership, as well as the common limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership that are not owned by the Parent.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were limited partnership units that were exchangeable into cash or, at our option, 1,885 and 1,887 shares, respectively, of the Parent’s common stock. All of these outstanding limited partnership units receive quarterly cash distributions equal to the quarterly dividends paid on our common stock pursuant to the terms of the applicable partnership agreements.

 

(2)

The assets of Prologis Brazil Logistics Partners Fund I are primarily investments in unconsolidated entities of $131.2 million and $152.0 million at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, respectively. For additional information on our unconsolidated investments, see Note 4.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership that were exchangeable into cash or, at our option, 1,762 and 1,767 shares, respectively, of the Parent’s common stock. At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, there were 993 and 113 LTIP Units (as defined in Note 10) outstanding, respectively, associated with our long-term compensation plan that are not exchangeable into the Parent’s common stock until they vest. All of these outstanding limited partnership units receive quarterly cash distributions equal to the quarterly distributions paid on our common stock pursuant to the terms of the partnership agreement.

 

10.Long-Term Compensation

 

At March 31, 2015, we had points awarded under our Outperformance Plan (“OPP”) outstanding. We also had restricted stock, restricted stock units (“RSUs”), Operating Partnership units (“LTIP Units”), special outperformance plan type of LTIP Units (“OPP LTIP Units”) and stock options outstanding under our incentive plans. See details below.

 

OPP

 

We granted points under our OPP on February 10, 2015, with a fair value of $26.5 million as of the date of grant using a Monte Carlo valuation model that assumed a risk free interest rate of 0.86% and an expected volatility of 28%. Such points relate to a three-year performance period that began on January 1, 2015, and will end on December 31, 2017. As of March 31, 2015, we also have OPP points outstanding for the 2013-2015 and 2014-2016 performance periods under the OPP.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (CONTINUED)

(1)

The increase in shares/units between the periods is primarily due to a warrant Norges Bank Investment Management exercised in December 2014, the ATM program activity in late 2014 and early 2015 and the conversion of exchangeable debt to shares/units in March 2015.

 

(2)

Earnings allocated to the exchangeable Operating Partnership units not held by the Parent has been included in the numerator and exchangeable Operating Partnership units have been included in the denominator for the purpose of computing diluted earnings per share for all periods since the per share/unit amount is the same. The incremental weighted average exchangeable Operating Partnership units were 1,908 and 1,767 for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

(3)

In March 2015, the exchangeable debt was settled primarily through the issuance of common stock. The adjustment in 2015 assumes the exchange occurred on January 1, 2015.

12.Financial Instruments and Fair Value Measurements

 

Derivative Financial Instruments

 

In the normal course of business, our operations are exposed to global market risks, including the effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates. To manage these risks, we may enter into various derivative contracts, such as foreign currency contracts to manage foreign currency exposure, and interest rate swaps to manage the effect of interest rate fluctuations. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes. All of our derivative financial instruments are customized derivative transactions and are not exchange-traded. Management reviews our hedging program, derivative positions and overall risk management strategy on a regular basis. We only enter into transactions that we believe will be highly effective at offsetting the underlying risk. There have been no significant changes in our policy or strategy from what was previously disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

 

Foreign Currency

 

We primarily manage our foreign currency exposure by borrowing in the currencies in which we invest. In certain circumstances, we may also borrow debt in a currency that is not the same functional currency of the borrowing entity to offset the translation and economic exposures related to our net investment in international subsidiaries. To mitigate the impact to our earnings from the fluctuations in exchange rates, we may designate the debt as a non-derivative financial instrument hedge. We also hedge our investments in certain international subsidiaries using foreign currency derivative contracts (net investment hedges) to offset the translation and economic exposures related to our investments in these subsidiaries by locking in a forward exchange rate at the inception of the hedge. We measure the effectiveness of our net investment hedges and our non-derivative financial instrument hedges by using the changes in forward exchange rates. Under this method, we report all changes in fair value of the non-derivative financial instrument and net investment hedges in equity in the foreign currency translation component of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss (“AOCI”) in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. These amounts offset the translation adjustments on the underlying net assets of our foreign investments, which we also record in AOCI. We recognize ineffectiveness, if any, in earnings at the time the ineffectiveness occurred. We did not record any ineffectiveness on our foreign currency derivative contracts during the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014.

 

We may use foreign currency option contracts, including puts, calls and collars to mitigate foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the translation of our projected net operating income of our international subsidiaries, principally in Europe and Japan. A collar contract combines put and call options into one contract with the purchase of a foreign currency put option, combined with the sale of a foreign currency call option such that there is no cash outlay at execution. This strategy effectively locks in a range around the rate at which net operating earnings of our international subsidiaries will be translated into U.S. dollars. Foreign currency option contracts are not designated as hedges as they do not meet hedge accounting requirements. Changes in the fair value of derivatives not designated in hedging relationships are recorded directly in earnings within the line item Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses) and Related Amortization, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

Interest Rate

 

Our interest rate risk management strategy is to limit the impact of future interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows as well as to stabilize interest expense and manage our exposure to interest rate movements. We may enter into interest rate swap agreements that allow us to receive variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for us making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreement. The effective portion of the gain or loss on the derivative is reported as a component of AOCI in the Consolidated Balance Sheets, and reclassified to Interest Expense in the Consolidated Statements of Operations over the corresponding period of the hedged item. Ineffectiveness, if any, is recognized in Interest Expense at the time the ineffectiveness occurred.

As discussed above, the foreign currency options are not designated as hedges. We recognized gains of $20.1 million in Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains and (Losses) and Related Amortization, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations from the change in value of our outstanding foreign currency options for the three months ended March 31, 2015.

 

The change in Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) in the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income (Loss) during the periods presented is due to the translation upon consolidation of the financial statements into U.S. dollars of our consolidated subsidiaries whose functional currency is not the U.S. dollar for which we recorded losses of $517.6 million and gains of $17.6 million, respectively, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. It also includes the change in fair value for the effective portion of our derivative and non-derivative instruments.

The amounts reclassified to interest expense for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, were not considered significant. We do not expect the amounts to be reclassified to interest expense for the next 12 months to be significant.

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we had €2.4 billion ($2.6 billion) and €2.5 billion ($3.0 billion) of debt, net of accrued interest, respectively, designated as non-derivative financial instrument hedges of our net investment in international subsidiaries. We had €102.0 million ($109.8 million) and €97.6 million ($118.5 million) of debt, respectively, that was not designated as a non-derivative financial instrument hedge at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014. We recognized unrealized gains of $15.4 million in Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses) and Related Amortization, Net in the Consolidated Statements of Operations on the unhedged portion or our debt during the three months ended March 31, 2015. We did not recognize any gain or loss during the three months ended March 31, 2014.

 

Fair Value Measurements

 

We have estimated the fair value of our financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies we believe to be appropriate for these purposes. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates and, accordingly, they are not necessarily indicative of amounts that we would realize upon disposition.

 

Fair Value Measurements on a Recurring Basis

 

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, other than the derivatives discussed above and in Note 7, we did not have any significant financial assets or financial liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements. We determined the fair value of our derivative instruments using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of each derivative. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the derivatives, including the period to maturity, and uses observable market-based inputs, including interest rate curves, foreign exchange rates, and implied volatilities. We determined the fair values of our interest rate swaps using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted future fixed cash receipts or payments and the discounted expected variable cash payments. We based the variable cash payments on an expectation of future interest rates, or forward curves, derived from observable market interest rate curves. We based the fair values of our net investment hedges upon the change in the spot rate at the end of the period as compared to the strike price at inception.

 

We incorporate credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both our nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of our derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts and guarantees.

 

We have determined that the majority of the inputs used to value our derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Although the credit valuation adjustments associated with our derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by us and our counterparties, we assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of our derivative positions and have determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of our derivatives. As a result, all of our derivatives held at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, were classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

 

Fair Value Measurements on Non-Recurring Basis

 

Assets measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis in the Consolidated Financial Statements consist of real estate assets and investments in and advances to unconsolidated entities that were subject to impairment charges. There were no assets that met these criteria at March 31, 2015 or December 31, 2014.

 

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

 

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, our carrying amounts of certain financial instruments, including cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, accounts and notes receivable, accounts payable and accrued expenses were representative of their fair values due to the short-term nature of these instruments.

 

At March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, we estimated the fair value of our senior notes and exchangeable senior notes based upon quoted market prices for the same (Level 1) or similar (Level 2) issues when current quoted market prices are available, the fair value of our Credit Facilities and term loans by discounting the future cash flows using rates and borrowing spreads currently available to us (Level 3), and the fair value of our secured mortgage debt and assessment bonds that do not have current quoted market prices available by discounting the future cash flows using rates currently available to us for debt with similar terms and maturities (Level 3). The differences in the fair value of our debt from the carrying value in the table below are the result of differences in interest rates and/or borrowing spreads that were available to us at March 31, 2015 and December 31, 2014, as compared with those in effect when the debt was issued or acquired, including reduced borrowing spreads due to our improved credit ratings. The senior notes and many of the issues of secured mortgage debt contain pre-payment penalties or yield maintenance provisions that could make the cost of refinancing the debt at lower rates exceed the benefit that would be derived from doing so.

13.Business Segments

 

Our current business strategy includes two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital. We generate revenues, earnings, net operating income and cash flows through our segments, as follows:

 

·

Real Estate Operations. This represents the ownership of industrial operating properties and is the main source of our revenue and earnings. We collect rent from our customers through operating leases, including reimbursements for the majority of our operating costs. Each operating property is considered to be an individual operating segment having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. Our Real Estate Operations segment also includes development, re-development and acquisition activities that lead to rental operations. We develop, re-develop and acquire industrial properties primarily in global and regional markets to meet our customers’ needs. Within this line of business, we capitalize on: (i) the land that we currently own; (ii) the development expertise of our local teams; (iii) our global customer relationships; and (iv) the demand for high-quality distribution facilities. Land held for development, properties currently under development and land we own and lease to customers under ground leases are also included in this segment.

 

·

Strategic Capital. This represents the management of unconsolidated co-investment ventures. We invest with partners and investors through our ventures, both private and public. We tailor industrial portfolios to investors’ specific needs and deploy capital with a focus on larger, ventures with longer duration and open-ended funds with leading global institutions. These private and public vehicles provide capital for distinct geographies across our global platform. We hold a significant ownership interest in these ventures; we believe this aligns our interests with those of our partners. We generate strategic capital revenues from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures through asset management and property management services and we earn additional revenues from leasing, acquisition, construction, development and disposition services provided. Depending on the structure of the venture and the returns provided to our partners, we also earn revenues through promotes during the life of a venture or upon liquidation. Each unconsolidated co-investment venture we manage is considered to be an individual operating segment having similar economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon geographic location.

 

Reconciliations are presented below for: (i) each reportable business segment’s revenue from external customers to Total Revenues in the Consolidated Statements of Operations; (ii) each reportable business segment’s net operating income from external customers to Earnings before Income Taxes in the Consolidated Statements of Operations; and (iii) each reportable business segment’s assets to Total Assets in the Consolidated Balance Sheets. Our chief operating decision makers rely primarily on net operating income and similar measures to make decisions about allocating resources and assessing segment performance. The applicable components of Total Revenues, Earnings before Income Taxes and Total Assets are allocated to each reportable business segment’s revenues, net operating income and assets. Items that are not directly assignable to a segment, such as certain corporate income and expenses, are reflected as reconciling items. The following reconciliations are presented in thousands:

14.Supplemental Cash Flow Information

 

Our significant non-cash investing and financing activities for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014 included the following:

 

·

We issued a note receivable in 2015, as disclosed in Note 6.

 

·

Holders of our exchangeable senior notes exchanged their notes into common stock of the Parent in 2015, as disclosed in Note 7.

 

·

We capitalized $5.7 million and $5.3 million, respectively, of equity-based compensation expense due to our development and leasing activities.

 

The amount of interest paid in cash, net of amounts capitalized, for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, was $135.9 million and $75.1 million, respectively.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, cash paid for income taxes, net of refunds, was $13.5 million and $23.6 million, respectively.

 

15.Subsequent Events

On April 17, 2015, we signed purchase agreements to acquire the real estate assets and operating platform of KTR Capital Partners and its affiliates for approximately $5.9 billion. The portfolio includes 322 operating properties aggregating 60 million square feet, 3.6 million square feet of properties under development and land parcels that will support an estimated potential build out of 6.8 million square feet. The properties will be acquired by our consolidated co-investment venture USLV, in which we own 55%. The purchase price includes the assumption of approximately $700 million of secured mortgage debt and the issuance of up to $230 million of common limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership. The transaction is anticipated to close during the second quarter of 2015.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Board of Directors and Stockholders
Prologis, Inc.:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Prologis, Inc. and subsidiaries (the “Company”) as of March 31, 2015, the related consolidated statements of operations, and consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the related consolidated statement of equity for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

The Partners
Prologis, L.P.:

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of Prologis, L.P. and subsidiaries (the “Operating Partnership”) as of March 31, 2015, the related consolidated statements of operations, and consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss) for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the related consolidated statement of capital for the three-month period ended March 31, 2015, and the related consolidated statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2015 and 2014. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Operating Partnership’s management.

 

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

 

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles.

 

We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of Prologis, L.P. and subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014, and the related consolidated statements of operations, comprehensive income (loss), capital and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our report dated February 25, 2015, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 2. 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 and the related notes included in Item 1 of this report and our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

 

Certain statements contained in this discussion or elsewhere in this report may be deemed “forward-looking statements” within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Words and phrases such as “expects,” “anticipates,” “intends,” “plans,” “believes,” “seeks,” “estimates,” “designed to achieve,” 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, development activity and sales or contribution volume or profitability on such sales and contributions, economic and market conditions in the geographic areas where we operate and the availability of capital directly or 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. Many of the factors that may affect outcomes and results are beyond our ability to control. For further discussion of these factors see Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors in our 2014 Annual Report on Form 10-K. References to “we,” “us” and “our” refer to Prologis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.

 

Management’s Overview

 

We are the global leader in industrial real estate, focused on markets across the Americas, Europe and Asia. At March 31, 2015, we owned or had investments in, on a wholly-owned basis or through co-investment ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 594 million square feet (55 million square meters) in 21 countries. We lease modern distribution facilities to more than 4,700 customers, including third-party logistics providers, transportation companies, retailers and manufacturers.

 

Prologis, Inc. is a self-administered and self-managed real estate investment trust (a “REIT”), and is the sole general partner of Prologis, L.P. (the “Operating Partnership”). We operate Prologis, Inc. and the Operating Partnership as one enterprise, and, therefore, our discussion and analysis refers to Prologis, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership, collectively.

 

Our business comprises two operating segments: Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital.

 

Real Estate Operations

 

Rental Operations. Rental operations represent the main source of our revenues, earnings and funds from operations (see definition and a complete reconciliation below). We collect rent from our customers through operating leases, including reimbursements for the majority of our operating costs. We expect to generate long-term internal growth in rental income by maintaining high occupancy rates, controlling expenses and through increasing rents. Our rental income is diversified due to our global presence and broad customer base. We believe our property management, leasing and maintenance teams, together with our capital expenditure, energy management and risk management programs, create cost efficiencies that allow us to capitalize on the economies of scale inherent in owning, operating and growing a global portfolio.

 

Capital Deployment. Capital deployment includes the development, re-development and acquisition of industrial properties that lead to rental operations and is therefore included with rental operations for segment reporting. We deploy capital primarily in global and regional markets to meet our customers’ needs. We capitalize on the following: (i) our land bank; (ii) the development expertise of our local teams; (iii) our global customer relationships; and (iv) the demand for high-quality distribution facilities. We aim to increase our rental income and our net asset value by leasing newly developed space and acquiring operating properties. We develop properties for long-term hold, for contribution to our co-investment ventures and, occasionally, for sale to third parties.

 

Strategic Capital

 

We invest with partners and investors through private and public ventures which may be consolidated or unconsolidated. We tailor industrial portfolios to meet investors’ specific needs, with a focus on long-term ventures and open-ended funds. We also access alternative sources of equity through investment vehicles containing publicly traded vehicles such as Nippon Prologis REIT, Inc. and FIBRA Prologis. These private and public vehicles fund our capital needs in distinct geographies across our global platform. We hold a significant ownership interest in these ventures, aligning our interests with those of our partners. We generate strategic capital revenues from our unconsolidated ventures through asset management and property management services and we earn additional revenues by providing leasing, acquisition, construction, development, financing and disposition services. Depending on the structure of the venture and the returns provided to our partners, we also earn revenues through incentive fees during the life of a venture or upon liquidation (we refer to these incentive fees as promotes). We believe our co-investment ventures will continue to serve as a source of capital for investments, provide incremental revenues and mitigate foreign currency risk associated with our international investments. We plan to grow this business generally through growth in existing ventures.

 

Growth Strategies

 

We believe the scale and quality of our operating platform, the skills of our team and the strength of our balance sheet give us unique competitive advantages. Our plan to grow revenue, earnings, net operating income (“NOI”), cash flows and Core FFO (see below for definitions and reconciliations of our financial measures that are not determined in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”)) is based on:

 

·

Rising Rents. Market rents are increasing across many of our markets. We expect growth to continue as demand for logistics facilities is strong across the globe. As many of our leases originated during low rent periods following the global financial crisis, there is room for growth of in-place leases, which translates into increased NOI, earnings and cash flow. During the first quarter of 2015, we had positive rent change on rollovers (when comparing the net effective rent of the new lease to the prior lease for the same space) of 9.7%. This represented the ninth consecutive quarter of positive rent change.

 

·

Value Creation from Development. We believe a successful development program involves maintaining control of well-positioned land. Based on our current estimates, our land bank has the potential to support the development of nearly 178.9 million additional square feet. We believe the carrying value of our land bank is below its current fair value, and we expect to realize this value going forward through development or land sales. During the first quarter of 2015, in our owned and managed portfolio, we stabilized development projects with a total expected investment of $358.2 million. We estimate that post-stabilization, the

26

 


 

value of these buildings will be approximately 35.5% more than their book value or the cost to develop (defined as estimated margin and calculated using estimated yield and capitalization rates from our underwriting models).

 

·

Economies of Scale from Growth in Assets Under Management. We believe we have the infrastructure and an acquisition pipeline that will allow us to increase our investments in real estate, with minimal increases to general and administrative expenses. During the first quarter of 2015, our owned and managed real estate assets increased through the acquisition of 2.4 million square feet of buildings, principally in our unconsolidated ventures in Europe, and the addition of 4.1 million square feet of development starts, which was partially offset by dispositions to third parties of 2.7 million square feet. In April 2015, we announced an acquisition expected to close in the second quarter of 2015 (discussed below) and we expect minimal increases in net general and administrative expenses (“G&A”) as a result of the acquisition.

 

Summary of 2015

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, and through the date of this report, we completed the following activities as further described in the Consolidated Financial Statements:

 

·

We generated net proceeds of $524.7 million and net gains of $277.7 million from the contribution and disposition of real estate investments. The gains were primarily driven by dispositions in the United States.

 

·

During March 2015, the holders of the exchangeable notes exchanged $459.8 million of their notes for 11.9 million shares of the Parent and $0.2 million of their notes for cash.

 

·

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we issued 1.7 million shares of common stock of the Parent under our at-the-market program (“ATM”), which generated $71.8 million in net proceeds.

 

·

On April 17, 2015, we signed purchase agreements to acquire the real estate assets and operating platform of KTR Capital Partners and its affiliates for approximately $5.9 billion. The portfolio includes 322 operating properties aggregating 60 million square feet, 3.6 million square feet of properties under development and land parcels that will support an estimated potential build out of 6.8 million square feet. The properties will be acquired by our consolidated co-investment venture Prologis U.S. Logistics Venture (“USLV”), in which we own 55%. The purchase price includes the assumption of approximately $700 million of secured mortgage debt and the issuance of up to $230 million of common limited partnership units in the Operating Partnership. The transaction is anticipated to close during the second quarter of 2015. See further discussion in “Liquidity and Capital Resources” below.

 

Results of Operations

 

Three Months Ended March 31, 2015 and 2014

 

Real Estate Operations

 

Included in this segment is rental income and rental expense recognized from our consolidated operating properties. Our consolidated portfolio was relatively consistent during 2014 and 2015. The operating fundamentals in the markets in which we operate have been improving, which has positively impacted both the occupancy and rental rates we have experienced, and has also fueled development activity. Also included in this segment is revenue from land we own and lease to customers and development management and other income, net of acquisition, disposition and land holding costs.

Below are the key drivers of Real Estate Operations NOI:

 

·

Activity within the portfolio, which included acquisitions, contributions to co-investment ventures and dispositions to third parties, impacted NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from the same period in 2014 as follows:

 

o

Acquisitions and development activity: $12.7 million increase;

o

consolidation of Prologis North American Industrial Fund (“NAIF”) during the fourth quarter of 2014: $42.5 million increase;

o

contribution activity: $32.6 million decrease;

o

disposition activity: $17.1 million decrease.

 

27

 


 

·

Average occupancy in our operating properties increased 110 basis points for the three months ended March 31, 2015, from the same period in 2014.

 

·

We leased a total of 19.7 million square feet during the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to 16.7 million square feet during the same period in 2014.

 

·

We recognize changes in rental income from certain contractual rent increases from our existing leases and from rent change on new leases. We recognize the total rental income under the lease on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. This includes all contractual changes that are known. If a lease has a contractual rent increase based on the consumer price index or similar metric that is not known, the rent increase is not included in rent leveling and therefore any rent increase will impact the rental income we recognize.

 

·

We have experienced an increase in rental rates on the turnover of existing leases for the last nine quarters that has resulted in higher average rental rates in our portfolio and increased rental income and NOI as those leases commenced.

 

·

Under the terms of our lease agreements, we are able to recover the majority of our rental expenses from customers. Rental expense recoveries, included in both rental income and rental expenses, were 74.3% and 79.0% of total rental expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

Strategic Capital

 

Included in this segment is income comprised of fees and promotes earned for services performed for our unconsolidated co-investment ventures reduced by the expenses recognized for the direct costs associated with the asset management of these ventures and allocated property-level management costs for the properties owned by the ventures. Income associated with Strategic Capital fluctuates due to the size of co-investment ventures that are under management, the transactional activity in the venture and the timing of promotes.

Below are the key drivers of Strategic Capital NOI:

 

·

We acquired a controlling interest in our co-investment venture NAIF in the fourth quarter of 2014 and began consolidating the venture.

 

·

We formed the co-investment venture FIBRA Prologis in Mexico in June 2014 and in connection with this transaction, we concluded the Mexico Industrial Fund.

 

28

 


 

·

We contributed 3 and 126 properties to several co-investment ventures for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and during all of 2014, respectively.

 

·

We acquired 17 and 81 properties from third parties for the three months ended March 31, 2015, and during all of 2014, respectively.

 

·

The amounts presented above for Europe and Asia are shown in U.S. dollars and were impacted by fluctuations in the exchange rates of primarily euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen to U.S. dollar. We have hedged the majority of our investment in euro, British pound sterling, and Japanese yen through outstanding debt and derivative instruments that offset the majority of these fluctuations.

 

The direct costs associated with Strategic Capital totaled $20.4 million and $24.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and are included in Strategic Capital Expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.

 

See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for additional information on our unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

 

Our Owned and Managed Portfolio

 

We manage our business on an owned and managed basis without regard to whether a particular property is wholly owned by us or owned by one of our co-investment ventures. As further discussed below, we believe that the operating fundamentals of our owned and managed portfolio are consistent with those of our consolidated properties. The activity in our owned and managed properties impacts Real Estate Operations NOI, Strategic Capital revenues and the net earnings we recognize from our unconsolidated co-investment ventures.

 

Our total owned and managed properties includes operating industrial properties and does not include properties under development or held for sale to third parties and was as follows (square feet in millions):

Same Store Analysis

 

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, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of the portfolio on performance measures. We include properties from our consolidated portfolio, as well as properties owned by the unconsolidated co-investment ventures that are managed by us, in our same store analysis. We have defined the same store portfolio, for the three months ended March 31, 2015, as those properties that were in operation at January 1, 2014, and have been in operation throughout the same three-month periods in both 2015 and 2014. We have removed all properties that were disposed of to a third party or were classified as held for sale to a third party from the population for both periods. We believe the factors that impact rental income, rental expenses and NOI in the same store portfolio are generally the same as for the total portfolio. In order to derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the recent period end exchange rate to translate from local currency into U.S. dollars, for both periods.

 

We calculate our same store results on a quarterly basis. The following is a reconciliation of our consolidated rental income, rental expenses and NOI (calculated as rental income and recoveries less rental expenses), as included in the Consolidated Statements of Operations, to the respective amounts in our same store portfolio analysis for the three months ended March 31 (in millions):

As discussed above, our same store portfolio includes industrial properties from our consolidated portfolio and owned by the unconsolidated co-investment ventures that are managed by us. We include 100% of the NOI from the properties in our same store portfolio. During the periods presented, certain properties owned by us 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 due to the changes in composition of the respective portfolios from period to period (for example, the results of a contributed property are included in our consolidated results through the contribution date and in the results of the unconsolidated entities subsequent to the contribution date).

 

(2)

We exclude the net termination and renegotiation fees from our same store rental income to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each property’s rental income without regard to 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. The adjustments to remove these items are included in “effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other” in the above table.

 

(3)

Rental expenses include the direct operating expenses of the property such as property taxes, insurance, utilities, etc. In addition, we include an allocation of the property management expenses for our direct-owned 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 services are recognized as part of our consolidated rental expenses. These expenses fluctuate based on the level of properties included in the same store portfolio and any adjustment is included as “effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other” in the above table.

Gross overhead includes all costs related to our business, including the Real Estate Operations and Strategic Capital segments. We allocate a portion of our G&A expenses that relate to property management functions to both segments based on the size of the respective portfolios. Costs directly associated to Strategic Capital are also allocated to that segment. The decrease in gross overhead was principally due to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates between the U.S. dollar and the euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen.

 

We capitalize certain costs directly related to our development and leasing activities. Capitalized G&A expenses included salaries and related costs, as well as other general and administrative costs. The capitalized G&A for the three months ended March 31 were as follows (in millions):

Depreciation and Amortization

 

Depreciation and amortization was $169.8 million and $160.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The increase in depreciation and amortization was principally a result of increased investment in real estate properties from the consolidation of NAIF in the fourth quarter of 2014, acquired properties and completed development over the last year. This is offset slightly by the disposition and contribution of properties.

 

Earnings from Unconsolidated Entities, Net

 

We recognized net earnings from unconsolidated entities that are accounted for under the equity method of $31.0 million and $29.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The earnings we recognize are 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) our ownership interest in each venture; and (iv) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates used to translate our share of net earnings to U.S. dollars, if applicable. See the discussion of our co-investment ventures above in the Strategic Capital segment discussion and in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further breakdown of our share of net earnings recognized.

Gross interest expense decreased for the three months ended March 31, 2015, compared to the same period in 2014, due to lower debt levels during the period and a decrease in interest rates. We decreased our debt by $229.2 million, from March 31, 2014 to March 31, 2015, principally from the conversion of our $460.0 million of exchangeable debt in March 2015, changes in foreign currency exchange rates, along with payments made from proceeds received from dispositions, offset by borrowings.

 

Our weighted average effective interest rate was 3.7% and 4.7% for the three months ended March 31 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

During 2015 and 2014, we issued new debt with lower borrowing costs and used the proceeds to pay down or buy back our higher cost debt.

 

See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements and Liquidity and Capital Resources for further discussion of our debt and borrowing costs.

 

Gains on Dispositions of Investments in Real Estate and Revaluation of Equity Investments upon Acquisition of a Controlling Interest, Net

 

We recognized $277.7 million and $17.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, driven primarily by sales to third parties in the United States. We expect to have contributions to co-investments in the future, primarily in Europe, Japan and Mexico, as well as the disposition of properties to third parties, all depending on market conditions and other factors. See Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on the gains we recognized.

 

Foreign Currency and Derivative Gains (Losses) and Related Amortization, Net

 

We recognized gains of $34.6 million and losses of $28.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The gains were principally driven by gains on foreign currency transactions of $31.6 million, including by the foreign currency impact of the euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen derivatives (see Note 12), and a gain of $5.1 million on the embedded derivative instrument (exchange feature), net of related amortization, related to our exchangeable senior notes. The losses in 2014 were driven by the derivative instrument (exchange feature) related to our exchangeable senior notes. The exchangeable notes were exchanged in March 2015 primarily with shares of common stock, so there will be no impact to the financial statements going forward. See Note 7 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for information about our embedded derivative instrument (exchange feature) related to our exchangeable senior notes that matured March 15, 2015.

 

Gains (Losses) on Early Extinguishment of Debt, Net

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we extinguished $286.5 million secured mortgage debt prior to maturity, which resulted in a loss of $16.3 million.

 

Income Tax Expense (Benefit)

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, our current income tax expense was $0.8 million and $5.8 million, respectively. We recognize current income tax expense for income taxes incurred by our taxable REIT subsidiaries (“TRSs”), state and local income taxes and taxes incurred in our foreign jurisdictions. Our current income tax expense fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our taxable income. The majority of the current income tax expense for both periods relates to asset sales and contributions of properties there were held in foreign subsidiaries or TRSs.

 

Net Earnings Attributable to Noncontrolling Interests

 

This amount represents the third-party investors’ share of the earnings generated in consolidated ventures in which we do not own 100% of the equity, as well as the limited partners’ interests in the Operating Partnership. During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, the net earnings attributable to noncontrolling interest for Prologis, Inc. was $4.4 million and $5.2 million, respectively, and primarily related to operating activity in our consolidated co-investment venture, USLV.

 

See Note 9 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for further information on our consolidated ventures.

 

Other Comprehensive Income (Loss) – Foreign Currency Translation Gains (Losses), Net

 

We recognize unrealized gains or losses related to the translation of our foreign subsidiaries’ assets and liabilities into U.S. dollars, along with realized and unrealized gains or losses associated with the changes in the fair value of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments that are designated and qualify as hedges of net investments in foreign operations.

 

During the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, we recorded unrealized losses of $124.3 million and $4.7 million, respectively, related to foreign currency translations of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars upon consolidation. In 2015, we recorded unrealized losses principally due to the weakening of the euro, British pound sterling, Japanese yen and Brazilian real to the U.S. dollar from the beginning of the period to the end of the period.

 

Liquidity and Capital Resources

 

Overview

 

We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, dispositions of properties and from 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 to the common and preferred stockholders of Prologis and distributions to the holders of limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership and other partnerships, we expect our primary cash needs will consist of the following:

 

·

As discussed in Note 15 in the Consolidated Financial Statements, on April 17, 2015 we announced the acquisition of the real estate assets and operating platform from KTR Capital Partners and its affiliates for approximately $5.9 billion. As the acquisition is being made by a consolidated co-investment venture in which we own 55%, our share of the purchase price is approximately $3.2 billion, which we expect to fund through assumption of debt of approximately $385 million, issuance of OP units of up to $230 million and payment of cash of $2.6 billion. Contemporaneously with the announcement of the acquisition, we received a commitment from Morgan Stanley Senior Funding, Inc. to provide a $1.0 billion bridge facility, (the “Bridge Facility”) for the transaction. We may finance the cash portion through a variety of options, all depending on market conditions, including available borrowings on our credit facilities of $2.6 billion, a $1.0 billion

32

 


 

Bridge Facility, the issuance of debt or equity securities or the sale of investments in real estate. The transaction is anticipated to close during the second quarter of 2015.

 

·

repayment of debt, including payments on our credit facilities and scheduled principal payments for the remainder of 2015, of approximately $132 million and;

 

·

completion of the development and leasing of the properties in our consolidated development portfolio (we had 78 properties at March 31, 2015, in our development portfolio that were 48.4% leased with a current investment of $1.5 billion and a total expected investment of $2.4 billion when completed and leased, leaving $0.9 billion remaining to be spent);

 

·

development of new properties for long-term investment, including the acquisition of land in certain markets;

 

·

capital expenditures and leasing costs on properties in our operating portfolio;

 

·

additional investments in current unconsolidated ventures or new investments in future unconsolidated ventures;

 

·

depending on market and other conditions, acquisition of operating properties and/or portfolios of operating properties in global or regional markets for direct, long-term investment in our consolidated portfolio (this might include acquisitions from our co-investment ventures); and

 

·

depending on prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors, we may repurchase our outstanding debt or equity securities through cash purchases, in open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, tender offers or otherwise.

 

We expect to fund our cash needs principally from the following sources, all subject to market conditions:

 

·

available unrestricted cash balances ($192.0 million at March 31, 2015);

 

·

property operations;

 

·

fees earned for services performed on behalf of the co-investment ventures and distributions received from the co-investment ventures;

 

·

proceeds from the disposition of properties, land parcels or other investments to third parties;

 

·

proceeds from the contributions of properties to current or future co-investment ventures;

 

·

borrowing capacity under our current credit facility arrangements discussed below ($2.6 billion available at March 31, 2015), other facilities or borrowing arrangements including the bridge facility discussed above;

 

·

proceeds from the issuance of equity securities, including through the at-the-market program (we issued 1.7 million shares of common stock in 2015, generating net proceeds of $71.8 million); and

 

·

proceeds from the issuance of debt securities, including secured mortgage debt.

At March 31, 2015, we were in compliance with all of our debt covenants. These covenants include customary financial covenants for total debt, encumbered debt and fixed charge coverage ratios.

 

See Note 7 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. For more information on equity commitments for our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, see Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Cash Provided by Operating Activities

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, operating activities provided net cash of $81.5 million and $72.2 million, respectively. In the first three months of 2015 and 2014, cash provided by operating activities was less than cash dividends paid on common and preferred stock by $109.1 million and $96.0 million, respectively. We used proceeds from dispositions to third parties and contributions of real estate properties to consolidated and unconsolidated entities ($325.8 million in 2015 and $533.6 million in 2014) to fund dividends not covered by cash flows from operating activities.

 

Cash Investing and Cash Financing Activities

 

33

 


 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, investing activities used net cash of $200.3 million and $517.1 million, respectively. The following are the significant activities for both periods presented:

 

·

Real estate development. We invested $336.0 million and $244.3 million in 2015 and 2014, respectively, in real estate development and leasing costs for first generation leases. We have 51 properties under development and 27 properties that are completed but not stabilized at March 31, 2015, and we expect to continue to develop new properties as the opportunities arise.

 

·

Real estate acquisitions. In 2015, we acquired total real estate of $68.8 million, which included 198 acres of land and one operating property. In 2014, we acquired 50 acres of land for $77.3 million.

 

·

Capital expenditures. We invested $42.4 million and $40.9 million in our operating properties during 2015 and 2014, respectively; which included recurring capital expenditures, tenant improvements and leasing commissions on existing operating properties that were previously leased.

 

·

Proceeds from dispositions and contributions. We generated cash from contributions and dispositions of properties and land parcels of $325.8 million and $81.2 million during 2015 and 2014, respectively. In 2015, we disposed of 34 properties to third parties and contributed three operating properties to unconsolidated co-investment ventures. In 2014, we disposed of land and five operating properties to third parties.

 

·

Investments in and advances to. In 2015 and 2014, we invested cash of $123.7 million and $328.3 million, respectively, in our unconsolidated co-investment ventures, net of repayment of advances by the entities. Our investments in 2015 relates to additional investments in Prologis European Logistic Partners Sàrl of $57.8 million, Prologis Targeted Europe Logistics Fund of $24.7 million and Prologis European Properties Fund II of $10.3 million, in each case, representing our proportionate share. The co-investment ventures used these investments for acquisition of operating properties and the repayment of debt. Our investment in 2014 principally relates to an additional investment in Prologis European Logistics Partners Sàrl of $281.5 million for the acquisition of operating properties and the repayment of debt. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more detail on our unconsolidated ventures.

 

·

Return of investment. We received distributions from unconsolidated co-investment ventures and other ventures as a return of investment of $34.8 million and $92.5 million during 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

For the three months ended March 31, 2015 and 2014, financing activities used net cash of $32.0 million and provided net cash of $132.2 million, respectively. The following are the significant activities for both periods presented:

 

·

Proceeds from issuance of common stock. We generated proceeds from the issuance of common stock, primarily from the issuance of shares under our ATM program of $71.8 million in 2015.

 

·

Dividends paid on common and preferred stock. We paid dividends of $190.6 million and $168.2 million to our common and preferred stockholders during 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

·

Noncontrolling interests contributions. In 2014, partners in consolidated co-investment ventures made contributions of $452.3 million, which were primarily related to the newly formed co-investment venture USLV.

 

·

Noncontrolling interests distributions. In 2015 and 2014, we distributed $22.0 million and $1.2 million to various noncontrolling interests, respectively.

 

·

Net proceeds from (payments on) credit facilities. We received net proceeds of $66.6 million and made net payments of $607.5 million on our credit facilities during 2015 and 2014, respectively.

 

·

Repurchase and payment of debt. During 2015, we made payments of $2.5 million on regularly scheduled debt principal payments and payments at maturity and repurchased and extinguished secured mortgage debt of $310.5 million. During 2014, we made payments of $710.4 million on regularly scheduled debt principal payments and payments at maturity.

 

·

Proceeds from issuance of debt. In 2015, we issued $347.9 million of term loans and in 2014, we issued €700 million ($959.4 million) of senior notes.

 

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

 

Unconsolidated Co-Investment Venture Debt

 

We had investments in and advances to unconsolidated co-investment ventures at March 31, 2015, of $4.4 billion. These ventures had total third-party debt of $6.3 billion (of which $1.8 billion was our proportionate share) at March 31, 2015.

 

At March 31, 2015, we did not guarantee any third-party debt of the co-investment ventures. In our role as the manager, we work with the co-investment ventures to 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 the ventures also have credit facilities, or unencumbered properties, both of which may be used to obtain funds.

 

Contractual Obligations

 

Distribution and Dividend Requirements

 

Our dividend policy on our common stock is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure we will meet the dividend requirements of the Internal Revenue Code, relative to maintaining our REIT status, while still allowing us to retain cash to meet other needs such as capital improvements and other investment activities.

 

We paid a cash dividend of $0.36 per common share for the first quarter of 2015. Our future common stock dividends may vary and will be determined by our board of directors 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 of directors during the year.

34

 


 

 

At March 31, 2015, we had one series of preferred stock outstanding, the series Q. The annual dividend rate is 8.54% per share and 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 a continuing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition and/or disposition of individual properties or portfolios of properties.

 

New Accounting Pronouncements

 

See Note 1 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

Funds from Operations attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“FFO”)

 

FFO is a financial measure that is not determined in accordance with GAAP, but is a measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings. Although the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) has published a definition of FFO, modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business.

 

FFO is not meant to represent a comprehensive system of financial reporting and does not present, nor do we intend it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and operating performance. We believe net earnings computed under GAAP remains the primary measure of performance and that FFO is only meaningful when it is used in conjunction with net earnings computed under GAAP. Further, we believe our consolidated financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide the most meaningful picture of our financial condition and our operating performance.

 

NAREIT’s FFO measure adjusts net earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost depreciation and gains and losses from the sales, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated properties. We agree that these NAREIT adjustments are useful to investors for the following reasons:

 

·

historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes, through depreciation charges, that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. NAREIT stated in its White Paper on FFO “since real estate asset values have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be insufficient by themselves.” Consequently, NAREIT’s definition of FFO reflects the fact that real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time and depreciation charges required by GAAP do not reflect the underlying economic realities. We exclude depreciation from our unconsolidated entities and the third parties’ share of our consolidated ventures.

 

·

REITs were created in order to encourage public ownership of real estate as an asset class through investment in firms that were in the business of long-term ownership and management of real estate. The exclusion, in NAREIT’s definition of FFO, of gains and losses from the sales, along with impairment charges, of previously depreciated operating real estate assets allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’s activity and assists in comparing those operating results between periods. We include the gains and losses (including impairment charges) from dispositions of land and development properties, as well as our proportionate share of the gains and losses (including impairment charges) from dispositions of development properties recognized by our unconsolidated and consolidated entities, in our definition of FFO. We exclude the gain on revaluation of equity investments upon acquisition of a controlling interest from our definition of FFO.

 

Our FFO Measures

 

At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO measure for the REIT industry, it also recognized that “management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community.” We believe stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts who review our operating results are best served by a defined FFO measure that includes other adjustments to net earnings computed under GAAP in addition to those included in the NAREIT-defined measure of FFO. Our FFO measures are used by management in analyzing our business and the performance of our properties and we believe that it is important that stockholders, potential investors and financial analysts understand the measures management uses.

 

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 third party ownership share of the applicable reconciling items based on average ownership percentage for the applicable periods. 

 

We use these FFO measures, including by segment and region, to: (i) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison to expected results and results of previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions; (ii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iii) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (iv) assess our performance as compared to similar real estate companies and the industry in general; and (v) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Because we make decisions with regard to our performance with a long-term outlook, we believe it is appropriate to remove the effects of short-term items that we do not expect to affect the underlying long-term performance of the properties. The long-term performance of our properties is principally driven by rental income. While not infrequent or unusual, these additional items we exclude in calculating FFO, as defined by Prologis, defined below, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause 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 use our FFO measures as supplemental financial measures of operating performance. 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.

 


35

 


 

FFO, as defined by Prologis attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“FFO, as defined by Prologis”)

 

To arrive at FFO, as defined by Prologis, we adjust the NAREIT-defined FFO measure to exclude:

 

·

deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our subsidiaries;

 

·

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 GAAP earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure;

 

·

unhedged foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from debt transactions between us and our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated entities;

 

·

foreign currency exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement (based on current foreign currency exchange rates) of certain third-party debt of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated entities; and  

 

·

mark-to-market adjustments and related amortization of debt discounts associated with derivative financial instruments.

 

We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in planning and executing our business strategy.

 

Core FFO attributable to common stockholders/unitholders (“Core FFO”)

 

In addition to FFO, as defined by Prologis, we also use Core FFO. To arrive at Core FFO, we adjust FFO, as defined by Prologis, to exclude the following recurring and non-recurring items that we recognized directly in FFO, as defined by Prologis:

 

·

gains or losses from contribution or sale of land or development properties;

 

·

income tax expense related to the sale of investments in real estate and third-party acquisition costs related to the acquisition of 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;

 

·

gains or losses from the early extinguishment of debt and redemption and repurchase of preferred stock;

 

·

merger, acquisition and other integration expenses; and

 

·

expenses related to natural disasters.

 

We believe it is appropriate to further adjust our FFO, as defined by Prologis for certain recurring items as they were driven by transactional activity and factors relating to the financial and real estate markets, rather than factors specific to the on-going operating performance of our properties or investments. The impairment charges we have recognized were primarily based on valuations of real estate, which had declined due to market conditions, that we no longer expected to hold for long-term investment. Over the last few years, we made it a priority to strengthen our financial position by reducing our debt, our investment in certain low yielding assets and our exposure to foreign currency exchange fluctuations. As a result, we changed our intent to sell or contribute certain of our real estate properties and recorded impairment charges when we did not expect to recover the costs of our investment. Also, we purchased portions of our debt securities when we believed it was advantageous to do so, which was based on market conditions, and in an effort to lower our borrowing costs and extend our debt maturities. As a result, we have recognized net gains or losses on the early extinguishment of certain debt due to the financial market conditions at that time.

 

We analyze our operating performance primarily by the rental income of our real estate and the revenue driven by 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. Although these items discussed above have had 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.

 

We use Core FFO, including by segment and region, to: (i) evaluate our performance and the performance of our properties in comparison to expected results and results of previous periods, relative to resource allocation decisions; (ii) evaluate the performance of our management; (iii) budget and forecast future results to assist in the allocation of resources; (iv) provide guidance to the financial markets to understand our expected operating performance; (v) assess our operating performance as compared  to similar real estate companies and the industry in general; and (vi) evaluate how a specific potential investment will impact our future results. Because we make decisions with regard to our performance with a long-term outlook, we believe it is appropriate to remove the effects of items that we do not expect to affect the underlying long-term performance of the properties we own. As noted above, we believe the long-term performance of our properties is principally driven by rental income. We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in planning and executing our business strategy.

 

Limitations on Use of our FFO Measures

 

While we believe our defined 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 these limitations are:

 

·

The current income tax expenses and acquisition costs that are excluded from our defined FFO measures represent the taxes and transaction costs 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. Further, the amortization of capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of industrial properties are not reflected in FFO.

 

36

 


 

·

Gains or losses from property acquisitions and dispositions or 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 acquired or disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions.

 

·

The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our defined 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 defined 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 defined 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 that we exclude from our Core FFO, may provide a benefit or cost to us as we may be settling our debt at less or more than our future obligation.

 

·

The merger, acquisition and other integration expenses and 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 defined FFO measures to our net earnings computed under GAAP for the three months ended March 31 as follows (dollars in thousands).

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

 

We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign-exchange related variability and earnings volatility on our foreign investments. See our risk factors in Item 1A. Risk Factors, in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. See also Note 12 in the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more information about our derivative financial instruments.

 

We monitor our market risk exposures using a sensitivity analysis. Our sensitivity analysis estimates the exposure to market risk sensitive instruments assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse change in exchange or interest rates at March 31, 2015. The results of the sensitivity analysis are summarized below. The sensitivity analysis is of limited predictive value. As a result, our ultimate realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate and foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during a future period, hedging strategies at the time and the prevailing interest and foreign currency exchange rates.

 

Foreign Currency Risk

 

We are exposed to foreign exchange-related variability and earnings volatility on our foreign investments. Foreign currency market risk is the possibility that our financial results or financial position could be better or worse than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. At March 31, 2015, we had net equity of approximately $1.6 billion, or 9.0% of total net equity, denominated in a currency other than the U.S. dollar, after consideration of our derivative and non-derivative financial instruments. Based on our sensitivity analysis, a 10% reduction in exchange rates would cause a reduction of $164.1 million to our net equity.

 

At March 31, 2015, we had foreign currency forward contracts, which were designated and qualify as net investment hedges, with an aggregate notional amount of $1.1 billion to hedge a portion of our investments in Europe, the United Kingdom, and Japan. Based on our sensitivity analysis, a weakening of the U.S. dollar against the euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen by 10% would result in a $105.0 million negative change in our cash flows upon settlement. In addition, we also have euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen option contracts, which were not designated as hedges, with an aggregate notional amount of approximately $589 million to mitigate risk associated with the translation of projected net income of our subsidiaries in Europe and Japan. A weakening of the U.S. dollar against each of the euro, British pound sterling and Japanese yen by 10% would result in a $58.9 million negative change in our cash flows upon settlement.

37

 


 

 

Interest Rate Risk

 

We are also exposed to the impact of interest rate changes on future earnings and cash flows. At March 31, 2015, we had $944.7 million of variable rate debt outstanding, of which $65.4 million was outstanding on our credit facilities and $879.3 million was outstanding on our term loans. At March 31, 2015, we had entered into interest rate swap agreements to fix $341.4 million of our Japanese yen term loan. During the three months ended March 31, 2015, we had weighted average daily outstanding borrowings of $73.7 million on our variable rate credit facilities not subject to interest rate swap agreements. Based on the results of a sensitivity analysis assuming a 10% adverse change in interest rates based on our average outstanding balances during the period, the impact was $0.7 million, which equates to a change in interest rates of 13 basis points.
