EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 20172023 of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and First Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. At September 30, 2017,2023, the Company owned an approximate 96.7%97.5% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 3.3%2.5% common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by certain limited partners. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership primarily include persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and recipients of RLP Units (as defined in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company exercises exclusive and complete discretion over the Operating Partnership’sPartnership's day-to-day management and control and can cause it to enter into certain major transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions and refinancings. The management of the Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.
The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one enterprise. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of the Company’sCompany's assets are held by, and its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.
We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Company and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. The main areas of difference between the consolidated financial statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership are:
Stockholders’ Equity, Noncontrolling Interest and Partners’Partners' Capital. The 3.3%2.5% equity interest in the Operating Partnership held by persons or entities other than the Company is classified within partners’partners' capital in the Operating Partnership’sPartnership's financial statements and as a noncontrolling interest in the Company's financial statements.
Relationship to Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries, although operations are also conducted through eightseveral other limited partnerships, which are referred to as the "Other Real Estate Partnerships." The Operating Partnership is a limited partner, holding at least a 99% interest, and the Company is a general partner, holding at least a .01% general partnership interest through eightseveral separate wholly-owned corporations, in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities that both the Company and the Operating Partnership consolidate. The Company's direct general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships is reflected as noncontrolling interest within the Operating Partnership's financial statements.
Relationship to Service Subsidiary. The Company has a direct wholly-owned subsidiary that does not own any real estate but provides services to various other entities owned by the Company. Since the Operating Partnership does not have an ownership interest in this entity, its operations are reflected in the consolidated results of the Company but not the Operating Partnership. Also, this entity owes certain amounts to the Operating Partnership, for which a receivable is included on the Operating Partnership’sPartnership's balance sheet but is eliminated on the Company’sCompany's consolidated balance sheet, since both this entity and the Operating Partnership are fully consolidated by the Company.
We believe combining the Company’sCompany's and Operating Partnership’sPartnership's quarterly reports into this single report results in the following benefits:
enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports; and
eliminates duplicative disclosures and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation for our investors to review since a substantial portion of the Company’sCompany's disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.




To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides the following separate disclosures for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:
consolidated financial statements;
a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity’s stockholders’entity's stockholders' equity or partners’partners' capital, as applicable; and
a combined Management’sManagement's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes distinct information related to each entity.
This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, wholly-owned by the Company, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100% ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. NoncontrollingThe Company's noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 3.3%2.5% at September 30, 20172023 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units").

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the accounting policies described in the consolidated financial statements and related notes included in our annual report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20162022 ("20162022 Form 10-K") and should be read in conjunction with such consolidated financial statements and related notes. The 20162022 year end consolidated balance sheet data included in this Form 10-Q filing was derived from the audited consolidated financial statements in our 20162022 Form 10-K, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP"). The following notes to these interim consolidated financial statements highlight significant changes to the notes included in the December 31, 20162022 audited consolidated financial statements included in our 20162022 Form 10-K and present interim disclosures as required by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
Use of Estimates
In order to conform with GAAP, in preparation of our consolidated financial statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2016.2022. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2016,2022, and our cash flows for each of the nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2016.2022. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.

Reclassifications

Investment in Real Estate and Depreciation
Effective January 1, 2017, we adopted Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2017-01, "Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the DefinitionDeferred Leasing Intangibles, Net as of a Business" ("ASU 2017-01"). ASU 2017-01 clarifies the framework for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities meets the definition of a business. The revised framework establishes a screen for determining whether an integrated set of assets and activities is a business and narrows the definition of a business, which is expected to result in fewer transactions being accounted for as business combinations. Acquisitions of integrated sets of assets and activities that do not meet the definition of a business are accounted for as asset acquisitions. We applied ASU 2017-01 prospectively. We anticipate that our acquisitions of real estate in the future will generally not meet the definition of a business combination and, accordingly; transaction costs whichDecember 31, 2022 have historically been expensed will be capitalized as part of the basis of the real estate assets acquired.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” (“ASU 2014-09”). ASU 2014-09 requires entities to recognize revenue when they transfer promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018 and expect to utilize the modified retrospective approach upon adoption. While lease contracts with customers, which constitute a vast majority of our revenues, are a specific scope exception, certain of our revenue streams may be impacted by the new guidance, however we do not believe there will be a material financial statement impact or that our pattern of revenue recognition will be materially impacted by the adoption of ASU 2014-09.
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued ASU No. 2016-02, "Leases" ("ASU 2016-02"), which amends the existing accounting standards for lease accounting and sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract. Under ASU 2016-02, lessees will be required to record a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term and a lease liability, which is a lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. We are a lessee on certain ground and operating leases as disclosed in Note 14reclassified to the consolidated financial statements in our 2016 Form 10-K. While we expectPrepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net line item and to record a right-of-use assetthe Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and lease liability upon adoption of this standard, we anticipate the impact will not be material to our overall financial condition and results of operations. We are the lessor on a significant number of leases, however, we believe that ASU 2016-02 will have minimal impact to our financial condition or results of operations as leases where we are the lessor will continue to be accounted for as operating leases. The most significant changes ASU 2016-02 will have to lessor accounting will be the requirement that lessors expense certain initial direct costs that are not incremental in negotiating a lease as incurred as well bifurcating lease generated revenue into lease and non-lease components. ASU 2016-02 requires the use of a modified retrospective approach for all leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest period presentedOther Liabilities line item in the consolidated financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. If practical expedients are elected, we would not be requiredbalance sheets to reassess (1) whether an expired or existing contract meetsconform to the definition of a lease; (2) the lease classification for expired or existing leases; and (3) whether costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs would continue to be amortized. We are continuing the process of evaluating and quantifying the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We will adopt ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019 and anticipate electing the practical expedients.2023 presentation.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, “Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments” ("ASU 2016-15"). ASU 2016-15 addresses eight specific cash flow issues and intends to reduce the diversity in practice in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-15 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 with retrospective application required. We expect ASU 2016-15 to impact the presentation of our consolidated statement of cash flows and we will adopt ASU 2016-15 on January 1, 2018.
In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18, "Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash" ("ASU 2016-18"). ASU 2016-18 requires that the statement of cash flows explain the change during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents and amounts generally described as restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning- of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the statement of cash flows. ASU 2016-18 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We expect ASU 2016-18 to impact the presentation of our consolidated statement of cash flows and we will adopt ASU 2016-18 on January 1, 2018.

In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-12, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeting Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities” (“ASU 2017-12”). ASU 2017-12 is intended to better align financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. As a result of the transition guidance, cumulative ineffectiveness that has been previously recognized on cash flow and net investment hedges that are still outstanding and designated as of the date of adoption will be adjusted and removed from beginning retained earnings and placed in accumulated other comprehensive income. ASU 2017-12 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018. We continue to assess all the potential impacts of ASU 2017-12, however, we do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our financial condition or results of operations.

Our unsecured credit facility (the "UnsecuredUnsecured Credit Facility"), theFacility, our Unsecured Term Loans, (as definedour senior notes issued in Note 10), the private placements ("Private Placement NotesNotes") and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain financial covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Under the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loans, an event of default can occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred, which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreements. We believe that the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to the Unsecured Credit Facility, the Unsecured Term Loans, the Private Placement Notes and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2017.

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

The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of developing, leasing, operating and selling land located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area.
Under the operating agreement for the Joint Venture, we act as the managing member and are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, development, construction supervision, disposition and asset management services. In addition, the Joint Venture's operating agreement provides us the ability to earn incentive fees based on the ultimate financial performance of the Joint Venture.

During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we earned fees of $4,693 and $699, respectively, from the Joint Venture, related to asset management, property management and development services, of which we deferred recognition of $955 and $187, respectively, due to our economic interest in the Joint Venture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we incurred fees of $2,690 and $318, respectively, related to third-party development management services associated with the Joint Venture. At September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, we had a receivable from the Joint Venture of $122 and $34, respectively.

Net income of the Joint Venture for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 was $44,334 and $176,169, respectively. Included in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 was $3,283 of lease revenue as well as gain on sale of real estate of $40,283 related to the sale of approximately 31 acres of land. Our economic share of the lease revenue and gain on sale was $1,609 and $19,739, respectively. Included in net income during the nine months ended September 30, 2022 is gain on sale of real estate of $176,281 related to the sale of approximately 391 acres of land for which our economic share of the gain on sale was $86,378. For the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, we earned incentive fees of $8,903 and $32,276, respectively, from the Joint Venture, which is reflected in the Equity In Income of Joint Venture line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
The Joint Venture has three buildings under development comprising an aggregate 1.8 million square feet (the "Project") at September 30, 2023. During the year ended December 31, 2022, in connection with the Project, the Joint Venture entered into a construction loan with a capacity of $149,514 with a third party lender (the "Joint Venture Loan"). As of September 30, 2023, the balance of the Joint Venture Loan is $79,741, excluding $845 of unamortized debt issuance costs. With respect to the Joint Venture Loan, we provided a completion guarantee to the lender and our third-party joint venture partner that requires the Company to timely complete construction of the Project. Total estimated investment for the Project is approximately $210,300 and the Joint Venture is using a third-party contractor to develop the buildings pursuant to a guaranteed maximum price contract. We also provided a guarantee to the lender related to typical non-recourse exceptions and an environmental indemnity. It is not possible to estimate the amount of additional costs, if any, that we may incur in connection with our completion guarantees to the third party lender and/or our joint venture partner as well as the non-recourse exception and environmental indemnity guarantees; however, we do not expect that we will be required to make any significant payments in satisfaction of these guarantees.

6. Stockholders’ Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership
IssuanceNoncontrolling Interest of Sharesthe Company
The equity positions of various individuals and entities that contributed their properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Limited Partner Units, as well as the equity positions of the holders of Limited Partner Units issued in connection with the grant of restricted limited partner Units ("RLP Units") pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan, are collectively referred to as the “Noncontrolling Interests.” An RLP Unit is a class of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership that is structured as a “profits interest” for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is an award that is granted under our stock incentive plan (see Note 9). Generally, RLP Units entitle the holder to receive distributions from the Operating Partnership that are equivalent to the dividends and distributions that would be made with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such RLP Units, though receipt of such distributions may be delayed or made contingent on vesting. Once an RLP Unit has vested and received allocations of book income sufficient to increase the book capital account balance associated with such RLP Unit (which will initially be zero) equal to, on a per-unit basis, the book capital account balance associated with a "common" Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership, it automatically becomes a common Limited Partner Unit that is convertible by the holder to one share of Common Stock or a cash equivalent, at the Company's option. Net income is allocated to the Noncontrolling Interests based on the weighted average ownership percentage during the period.
Noncontrolling Interest - Joint Venture
Our ownership interest in the Joint Venture is held through a partnership with a third party. We concluded that we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the partnership. As a result, we consolidate the partnership and reflect the third party's interest in the partnership that invests in the Joint Venture as a Noncontrolling Interest. Our partner's share of the partnership's income was $196 and $63 for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and $3,746 and $14,294 for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and was reflected in the Equity in Income of Joint Venture and the Noncontrolling Interests line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Noncontrolling Interests line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets includes our third party partner's interest of $6,241 and $14,018 at September 30, 2023 and December 31, 2022, respectively.
ATM Program
On February 24, 2023, we entered into three-year distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell up to 16,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for up to $800,000 aggregate gross sales proceeds, from time to time in "at-the-market" offerings (the "ATM"). Under the terms of the ATM, sales are to be made through transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange, sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or sales made through privately negotiated transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company issued 2,560,0002023, we did not issue any shares of the Company's common stock in an underwritten public offering. Proceeds tounder the Company, net of the underwriter's discount, were $74,880. The proceeds were contributed to the Operating Partnership in exchange for General Partner Units and are reflected in the financial statements as a general partner contribution.
Increased Authorized Shares of Common Stock
On May 11, 2017, we filed an amendment to the Company’s articles of incorporation, increasing the number of shares of the Company’s common stock authorized for issuance from 150 million to 225 million shares.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in other comprehensive income (loss) and is subsequently reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the derivative or over the life of the debt. In the next 12 months, we expect to amortize approximately $95$410 into net income by increasing interest expense for interest rate protection agreementsderivative instruments we settled in previous periods. Additionally, recurring settlement amounts on the 20142021 Swaps, the 2022 Swaps and 2015the 2022 II Swaps (as(all defined in Note 10) will also be reclassified to net income.

ForDuring the nine months ended September 30, 2017,2023, 44,821 performance units ("Performance Units") and 280,083 RLP Units ("Performance RLP Units" and, together with the Company awarded 252,213 shares of restricted stock awards to certain employees, which had an aggregate fair value of $6,631 onPerformance Units, collectively the date such awards"Performance Awards") were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. These restricted stock awards were granted based upon the achievement of certain corporate performance goals and generally vest over a period of three years. Additionally, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company awarded 15,108 shares of restricted stock to non-employee members of the Board of Directors, which had an aggregate fair value of $420 on the date of approval. These restricted stock awards vest over a one-year period. The Operating Partnership issued restricted Unit awards to the Company in the same amount for both restricted stock awards.
Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the restricted stock or restricted Unit awards expected to vest except if the recipient is not required to provide future service in exchange for vesting of such restricted stock or restricted Unit awards. If vesting of a recipient's restricted stock or restricted Unit awards is not contingent upon future service, the expense is recognized immediately at the date of grant. During both the nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, we recognized $1,590 of compensation expense related to restricted stock or restricted Unit awards granted to our former Chief Executive Officer for which future service was not required.
LTIP Unit Awards
For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company granted to certain employees 195,951 Long-Term Incentive Program ("LTIP") performance units ("LTIP Unit Awards"),based on performance-based criteria, which had a fair value of $2,473approximately $8,054 on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation.

The Operating Partnership issues General Partnervesting periods for the Service Awards. At the end of the service period, vested Service Units convert into shares of common stock.
Retirement Eligibility

All award agreements issued underlying Performance Awards and Service Awards contain a retirement eligibility policy for employees with at least 10 years of continuous service and are at least 60 years old. For employees that meet the age and service eligibility requirements, their awards are non-forfeitable. As such, during the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we expensed 100% of the awards granted to retirement-eligible employees at the Company ingrant date as if fully vested. For employees who will meet the same amountsage and service eligibility requirements during the normal vesting periods, the grants are amortized over the shorter service period. Additionally, our Chief Executive Officer's employment agreement contains a retirement provision, which provides for vested LTIP Unit Awards.all of his outstanding Performance Awards and Service Awards to be non-forfeitable effective December 31, 2024. As such, his Performance Awards and Service Awards granted during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 are amortized over two years versus three years.

10. DerivativesDerivative Instruments
Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective,these objectives, we primarily use interest rate protection agreementsderivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate protection agreementsDerivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
We have interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in SOFR related to our Unsecured Term Loans. We have three interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200,000, that fix the SOFR rate component at 0.99% and mature on February 2, 2026 (the "2021 Swaps"). During the nine months ended September 30, 2023, we amended our 2021 Unsecured Term Loan to replace LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark interest rate. Borrowings under the 2021 Unsecured Term Loan bear interest at SOFR, plus a 10 basis point adjustment plus a credit spread which is currently 85 basis points.
We have eight interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $425,000 that fix the SOFR rate component at 2.69% and mature on September 30, 2027 (the "2022 Swaps").
We have seven interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $300,000 that fix the SOFR rate component at 3.93% (the "2022 II Swaps"). $150,000 of the 2022 II Swaps' aggregate notional value matures on December 1, 2025 and the remaining $150,000 of the 2022 II Swaps' aggregate notional value matures on August 1, 2027. We have designated the 2021 Swaps, the 2022 Swaps and the 2022 II Swaps as cash flow hedges.
Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain certain cross-default provisions whereby a default on any ofthat may be triggered in the event that our other indebtedness could cause us to be declaredis in default, on our derivative obligations subject to certain thresholds. As of September 30, 2017,2023, we had not posted any collateral related to these agreements and were not in breach of any of the provisions of these agreements. If we had breached these agreements, we could have been required to settle our obligations under the agreements at their termination value.



Fair Value Hedges
In connection with the originations of the seven-year, $200,000 unsecured loan (the "2014 Unsecured Term Loan") and the seven-year, $260,000 unsecured loan (the "2015 Unsecured Term Loan" and together with the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan, the "Unsecured Term Loans") (See Note 4) , we entered into interest rate protection agreements to manage our exposure to changes in the one month LIBOR rate. The four interest rate protection agreements, which fix the variable rate of the 2014 Unsecured Term Loan, have an aggregate notional value of $200,000, mature on January 29, 2021 and fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 2.29% (the "2014 Swaps"). The six interest rate protection agreements, which fix the variable rate of the 2015 Unsecured Term Loan, have an aggregate notional value of $260,000, mature on September 12, 2022 and fix the LIBOR rate at a weighted average rate of 1.79% (the "2015 Swaps"). We designated the 2014 Swaps and 2015 Swaps as cash flow hedges.
Derivative Instruments Not Designated for Hedge Accounting Treatment
In September 2017, we entered into two interest rate protection agreements (the "Treasury Locks"), with an aggregate notional value of $100,000, in order to fix the interest rate on an anticipated unsecured debt offering. The Treasury Locks fix the ten year U.S. Treasury rate at a weighted average rate of approximately 2.18% and are required to be cash settled by March 2, 2018.  Due to the strict requirements surrounding the application of hedge accounting, we elected not to designate the Treasury Locks as hedges.  As such, the full change in the fair value of the Treasury Locks during the third quarter is recorded as a mark-to-market gain on interest rate protection agreements within the income statement as opposed to being recorded in other comprehensive income.  For the three months ended September 30, 2017, we recognized $1,848 in mark-to-market gain on interest rate protection agreements related to the Treasury Locks.
The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities related to the 20152021 Swaps, the 2022 Swaps and the Treasury Locks, which are included in prepaid expenses and other assets on the consolidated balance sheets, and the 20142022 II Swaps, which are included in accounts payable, accrued expensesthe line items Prepaid Expenses and other liabilities on the consolidated balance sheets,Other Assets, Net or Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and all of whichOther Liabilities and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2017:2023 and December 31, 2022:

The estimated fair value of the 20142021 Swaps, 2015the 2022 Swaps and the Treasury Locks2022 II Swaps was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair value to account for potential non-performance risk, including our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty’scounterparty's non-performance risk. We determined that the significant inputs used to value the 20142021 Swaps, the 20152022 Swaps and the Treasury Locks2022 II Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
11. Related Party Transactions
At September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, the Operating Partnership had receivable balances of $10,194$9,303 and $10,448,$9,285, respectively, from a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company.

Additionally, see Note 5 for transactions with our joint venture.

12. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of our industrial properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.
In conjunction with the development of industrial properties, we have entered into agreements with general contractors for the construction of industrial properties. At September 30, 2017,2023, we had nine industrial propertiesseven development projects totaling approximately 2.72.2 million square feet of GLA under construction. The estimated total investment as of September 30, 20172023 is approximately $192,600.$345,000. Of this amount, approximately $120,900$152,600 remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated total investment.
During the year ended December 31, 2016, a fire significantly destroyed one industrial property totaling approximately 0.03 million square feet of GLA located in San Diego, California (the “2016 Fire”). In a separate event, on April 3, 2017, a fire caused significant damage to one industrial property totaling approximately 0.08 million square feet of GLA located in Los Angeles, California (the “2017 Fire”). During the respective periods in which the fires occurred, we wrote off the unamortized net book value of the building improvements for the damaged portions of the industrial properties and recorded a receivable from our insurance company for the amount of the write off, less our $25 deductible per occurrence. As of September 30, 2017, we have an aggregate receivable outstanding from the insurance company for both the 2016 Fire and the 2017 Fire of $8,830. While we believe the damages incurred due to the 2016 Fire and 2017 Fire are fully insured and reimbursable in accordance with our insurance policies, subject to the deductibles, there can be no assurance that the cost to repair the damages will be collected.
13. Subsequent Events
From October 1, 2017 to October 26, 2017, we sold nine industrial properties for approximately $54,075.
From October 1, 2017 to October 26, 2017, we acquired one industrial property for a purchase price of approximately $8,235, excluding costs and credits incurred in conjunction withWe have evaluated subsequent events through the acquisition ofdate that the property.

Management's Overview
Business Objectives and Growth Plans
Our fundamental business objective is to maximize the total return to the Company's stockholders and the Operating Partnership's partners by increasing our cash flow and property values. Our long-term business growth plans include the following elements:
Internal Growth.We believeseek to grow internally by (i) increasing revenues by renewing or re-leasing spaces subject to expiring leases at higher rental levels; (ii) obtaining contractual rent escalations on our financial conditionlong-term leases; (iii) increasing occupancy levels at properties where vacancies exist and results of operations are, primarily, a function of our performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisitionmaintaining occupancy elsewhere; (iv) controlling and development of additional industrial properties, disposition of industrial properties and access to external capital.
We generate revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from operating leases of our industrial properties. Such revenue is offset by certainminimizing property specific operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities and insurance expenses, along with certain other costs and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization costs and general and administrative and interest expenses. Our revenue growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to: (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties; (ii) maximize tenant recoveries; and (iii) minimize operating and certain other expenses. Revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries are a significant source of funds, in addition to income generated from gains on the sale of our properties (as discussed below), for our liquidity. The leasing of property, in general, and occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and certain non-operating expenses, in particular, are impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economicreleasing costs; and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If we were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, our revenue would decline. Further, if a significant number of our tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if we were unable to rent our properties on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.(v) renovating existing properties.
Our revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on our ability to acquire existing, and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms.External Growth. We seek to identify opportunities to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seek to acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they are leased, generate revenue from rental income, tenant recoveries and fees, which, as discussed above, are sources of funds for our distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders. The acquisition andgrow externally through (i) the development of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as expected. For example, acquired existing and acquired and developed new properties may not sustain and/or achieve anticipated occupancy and rental rate levels. With respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties. Also, we face significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded REITs and private investors. Further, as discussed below, we may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities we identify. If we were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable terms, or if such investments did not perform as expected, our revenue growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units would be adversely affected.
We also generate income from the sale of our properties (including existing buildings, buildings which we have developed or re-developed on a merchant basis and land). The gain or loss on, and fees from, the sale of such properties are included in our income and can be a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries. Proceeds from sales are used to repay outstanding debt and, market conditions permitting, may be used to fund the acquisition of existingbest-in-class industrial properties and the acquisition and development of newindividual or portfolios of industrial properties. The sale of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyondmeet our control. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers andinvestment parameters within our 15 target markets with a primary emphasis on coastal markets; (ii) the availability of attractive financing for potential buyersexpansion of our properties. Further,existing properties; and (iii) securing additional joint venture investments.
Portfolio Enhancement. We continually seek to upgrade our ability to sell properties is limited by safe harbor rules applying to REITs under the Code which relate to the number of properties that may be disposed of in a year, their tax bases and the cost of improvements made to the properties, along with other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation onoverall portfolio via new investments as well as through the sale of assets. Ifselect assets that we are unablebelieve do not exhibit favorable characteristics for long-term cash flow growth. We target new investments in 15 key logistic markets where developable land is more scarce and which exhibit desirable long-term growth characteristics. We seek to sellrefine our portfolio over the coming years by focusing on bulk and regional warehouses properties on favorable terms,and downsizing our incomelight industrial holdings.
Our ability to pursue our long-term growth would be limitedplans is affected by market conditions and our financial condition resultsand operating capabilities.
Business Strategies
We utilize the following strategies in connection with the operation of our business:
Organizational Strategy. We implement a decentralized property operations cash flowstrategy through the deployment of experienced regional management teams and local property managers. We provide acquisition, development and financing assistance, asset management oversight and financial reporting functions from our headquarters in Chicago, Illinois to support our regional operations. We believe the size of our portfolio enables us to realize operating efficiencies by spreading overhead among many properties and by negotiating purchasing discounts.
Market Strategy. Our market strategy is to concentrate on 15 industrial real estate markets in the United States with a primary emphasis on coastal markets. These markets have one or more of the following characteristics: (i) favorable industrial real estate fundamentals, including improving industrial demand and constrained future supply that can lead to long-term rent growth; (ii) favorable economic and business environments that should benefit from increases in distribution activity driven by growth in global trade and local consumption; (iii) population growth as it generally drives industrial demand; (iv) natural barriers to entry and scarcity of land which are key elements in delivering future rent growth; and (v) sufficient size to provide ample opportunity for growth through incremental investments as well as offer asset liquidity.
Leasing and Marketing Strategy. We have an operational management strategy designed to enhance tenant satisfaction and portfolio performance. We pursue an active leasing strategy, which includes broadly marketing available space, seeking to renew existing leases at higher rents while minimizing re-leasing costs and seeking leases which provide for the pass-through of property-related expenses to the tenant. We also have local and national marketing programs which focus on the business and real estate brokerage communities and multi-national tenants.
Acquisition/Development Strategy. Our investment strategy is primarily focused on developing and acquiring industrial properties in 15 key logistics markets in the United States, with an emphasis on markets with a coastal orientation, through the deployment of experienced regional management teams. When evaluating potential industrial property acquisitions and developments, we consider such factors as: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the location, construction quality, functionality, condition and design of the property; (iii) the terms of tenant leases, including the potential for rent increases; (iv) the potential for economic growth and the general business, tax and regulatory environment of the area in which the property is located; (v) the occupancy and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the vicinity; (vi) competition from existing properties and the

potential for the construction of new properties in the area; (vii) the potential for capital appreciation of the property; (viii) the ability to make distributions to our stockholdersimprove the property's performance through renovation; and Unitholders,(ix) the market pricepotential for expansion of the Company's common stock and the market valuephysical layout of the Units could be adversely affected.property and/or the number of sites.

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

WeFinancing Strategy. To finance acquisitions, developments and debt maturities, as market conditions permit, we may utilize a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, unsecured debt offerings, term loans, mortgage financings and line of credit borrowings under our $750.0 million unsecured revolving credit facilityagreement (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securitiessecurities. We also continually evaluate joint venture arrangements as another source of capital to refinance debt and finance future acquisitions and developments. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in our financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts our cost of capital and our ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and our ability to fund acquisitions and developments. Our ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our debt, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of the Company's common stock. If we were unable to access external capital on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to make distributions to our stockholders and Unitholders, the market price of the Company's common stock and the market value of the Units could be adversely affected.

Results of Operations
The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2016.2022. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 20162022 and held as an in-service property through September 30, 20172023 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2016 or were substantially completed for the 12 months prior to January 1, 2016.2022. Properties whichthat are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service. Acquisitionsservice, unless we anticipate tenant move-outs within two years of ownership would drop occupancy below 75%. Properties that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition developments and redevelopments are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized90% occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisitionacquisition. Developments, redevelopments and acquired income-producing land parcels for which our ultimate intent is to redevelop or develop on the land parcel are placed in service as they reach the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year subsequent to development/redevelopment construction completion. Acquired properties with occupancy greater than 75% at acquisition, but with tenants that we anticipate will move out in the first yearwithin two years of ownership, will be placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or twelve months after move out. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 20152021 and held as an operating property through September 30, 2017.2023. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2015. (Re)2021.

As discussed in Note 2 to the Consolidated Financial Statements, we adopted a new accounting standard relating to the definition of a business on January 1, 2017. We anticipate that our acquisitions of real estate in the future generally will not meet the definition of a business combination. Accordingly, acquisition costs, which historically have been expensed, will be capitalized as part of the basis of the real estate assets acquired. We applied this new accounting standard prospectively. For$2.4 million, or 745.9%, for the nine months ended September 30, 2016, we recognized $0.3 million2023, which relates to expenses paid to a third party to assist with the development of expenses related to costs associated with acquiring industrial properties from third parties.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2017,2023, our cash and cash equivalents was approximately $53.2 million, after excluding our Joint Venture partner's share of cash and restricted cash were approximately $9.5 millionequivalents that we consolidate and $5.1 million, respectively. Restricted cash is comprised of gross proceeds from the sales of certain industrial properties. These sale proceeds will be disbursed as we exchange industrial properties under Section 1031 of the Code.report in our financial statements. We also had $463.2$472.4 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility as of September 30, 2017.2023.
We have considered our short-term (through September 30, 2018)2024) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. Our 7.50%, 2017 Notes (described in Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements), in the aggregate principal amount of $55.0 million are due December 1, 2017. Also, we have $159.5 million in mortgage loans payable outstanding at September 30, 2017 that mature prior to September 30, 2018. We expect to satisfy these payment obligations with borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. With the exception of these payment obligations, we believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company's REIT qualification under the Code and distributions approved by the Company's Board of Directors. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating activities as well as the disposition of select assets. These needs may also be met by the issuance of additionalother debt or equity or debt securities, or long-term unsecured indebtedness, subject to market conditions, and contractual restrictions or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.
We expect to meet long-term (after September 30, 2018)2024) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through the disposition of select assets, long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity or debt securities, subject to market conditions.
At September 30, 2017, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 2.39%. As of October 26, 2017, we had approximately $415.2 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility. Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if we fail to meet any of these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of September 30, 2017,2023, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants for the remaindernext twelve months.
As of 2017.October 20, 2023, we had approximately $419.4 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.
Our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’sPoor's, Moody's and Fitch Ratings of BBB-/Baa3/BBB,BBB/Stable, Baa2/Stable and BBB/Stable, respectively. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient capital; however,capital. However, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.

Market Risk
The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes "forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, as described below.
Interest Rate Risk
The following analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments whichthat are held by us at September 30, 20172023 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.
In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.
At September 30, 2017, $1,218.12023, $1,933.6 million, or 88.6%87.5%, of our total debt, excluding unamortized deferred financingdebt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. As of the same date, $157.0$275.0 million, or 11.4%12.5%, of our total debt, excluding unamortized deferred financingdebt issuance costs, was variable rate debt. At December 31, 2016, $1,164.22022, $1,933.8 million, or 86.0%93.1%, of our total debt, excluding unamortized deferred financingdebt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt. As of the same date, $189.5$143.0 million, or 14.0%6.9%, of our total debt, excluding unamortized deferred financingdebt issuance costs, was variable rate debt.
At September 30, 20172023 and December 31, 2016,2022, the fixed rate debt amounts include $460.0 million of variable-ratevariable rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreementsderivative instruments with aan aggregate notional aggregate amount outstanding of $460.0$925.0 million whichthat mitigate our exposure to our unsecured term loans'Unsecured Term Loans' variable interest rates, which are currently based upon LIBOR, as defined in the loan agreements. Additionally as of September 30, 2017, we have interest rate protection agreements outstanding in an aggregate notional amount of $100.0 million in order to lock the U.S Treasury rate related to an anticipated unsecured debt offering. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a more detailed discussion of these interest rate protection agreements.on SOFR. The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage the risks of increases in interest rates with respect to the effect these fluctuations would have on our earnings and cash flows. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
On May 31, 2023, the Company amended its Unsecured Credit Facility agreement and 2021 Unsecured Term Loan to replace LIBOR with SOFR as the benchmark interest rate. Commencing July 3, 2023, borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility bear interest at SOFR, plus a 10 basis point adjustment plus a credit spread which is currently 77.5 basis points. Commencing August 1, 2023 borrowings under the 2021 Unsecured Term Loan bear interest at SOFR, plus a 10 basis point adjustment plus a credit spread which is currently 85 basis points. The three interest rates swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200.0 million that fixed LIBOR and hedged the variable interest on the 2021 Unsecured Term Loan were converted to SOFR commencing August 1, 2023.
For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the base interest rate used to calculate the all-in interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.


Our variable rate debt is subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. At September 30, 2017, we had approximately $157.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding indexed to LIBOR rates excluding the $460.0 million of variable-rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of interest rate protection agreements. If the LIBOR ratesSOFR rate component relevant to our variable rate debt were to have increased 10%, we estimate that our interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 20172023 would have increased by approximately $0.2$0.9 million based on our average outstanding floating-rate debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2023. Additionally, if weighted average interest rates on our weighted average fixed rate debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2023 were to have increased by 10% due to refinancing, interest expense would have increased by approximately $4.4$5.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2017.2023.
As of September 30, 2017,2023, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately $1,417.8$2,060.0 million based on our estimate of the then-current market interest rates.

Supplemental Earnings Measure
Investors in and industry analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations ("FFO") and net operating income ("NOI") as supplemental operating performance measures of an equity REIT. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time through depreciation. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors prefer to supplement operating results that use historical cost accounting with measures such as FFO and NOI, among others. We provide information related to FFO and same store NOI ("SS NOI") both because such industry analysts are interested in such information, and because our management believes FFO and SS NOI are important performance measures. FFO and SS NOI are factors used by management in measuring our performance, including for purposes of determining the compensation of our executive officers under our 20172023 incentive compensation plan.
Neither FFO nor SS NOI should be considered as a substitute for net income, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Neither FFO nor SS NOI represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and neither should be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions.
Funds From Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has recognized and defined for the real estate industry a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance, FFO, that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO is calculated by us in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT and therefore may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In accordance with the NAREIT definition of FFO, we calculate FFO to be equal to net income available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stockholders and participating securities, plus depreciation and other amortization of real estate, plus impairment of real estate, minus gain or plus loss on sale of real estate, net of any income tax provision or benefit associated with the sale of real estate. We also exclude the same adjustments from our share of net income from an unconsolidated joint venture.
Management believes that the use of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities, combined with net income (which remains the primary measure of performance), improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management believes that, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciatedreal estate assets, impairment of real estate assets and real estate asset depreciation and amortization, investors and analysts are able to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’sREIT's activity and use these operating results for assistance in comparing these operating results between periods or to those of different companies.


The following table shows a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders and participating securities to the calculation of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2016.2022.

Same Store Net Operating Income
SS NOI is a non-GAAP financial measure that provides a measure of rental operations and, as calculated by us, that does not factor in depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, acquisition costs, interest expense, income tax benefit and expense, gainsequity in income or loss from joint venture, joint venture fees and losses on retirement of debt and sale of real estate.joint venture development services expense. We define SS NOI as revenues minus property expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses, minus the NOI of properties that are not same store properties and minus the impact of straight-line rent, the amortization of lease inducements, the amortization of above/above and below market rent amortization and lease termination fees. We exclude straight-line rent and above (below) market rent in calculating SS NOI because we believe it provides a better measure of actual cash basis rental growth for a year-over-year comparison. As so defined, SS NOI may not be comparable to same store net operating income or similar measures reported by other REITs that define same store properties or NOI differently. The major factors influencing SS NOI are occupancy levels, rental rate increases or decreases and tenant recoveries increases or decreases. Our success depends largely upon our ability to lease space and to recover the operating costs associated with those leases from our tenants.
The following table shows a reconciliation of the same store revenues and property expenses disclosed in the results of operations (and reconciled to revenues and expenses reflected on the statements of operations) to SS NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 20172023 and 2016.2022.
