2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies


Interim Financial Information
 
The accompanying interim financial statements have been presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and with the instructions to Form 10-Q and Regulation S-X for interim financial information. Accordingly, these statements do not include all of the information and notes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. In the opinion of management, the accompanying interim financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring items, necessary for their fair statement in conformity with GAAP. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The year-end consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by GAAP. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2017.2018.


Basis of Presentation


The Company’s consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, the Operating Partnership, and their subsidiaries. Interests in the Operating Partnership not owned by the Company are referred to as “Noncontrolling Common Units.” These Noncontrolling Common Units are held by other limited partners in the form of common units (“Other Common Units”) and long term incentive plan units (“LTIP units”) issued pursuant to the STAG Industrial, Inc. 2011 Equity Incentive Plan, as amended and restated (the “2011 Plan”). All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in the consolidation of entities. The financial statements of the Company are presented on a consolidated basis for all periods presented.


Reclassifications and New Accounting Standards and Reclassifications

Certain prior year amounts have been reclassified to conform to the current year presentation.


New Accounting Standards Adopted


In August 2017,July 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2017-12, Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815):Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities. The purpose of this updated guidance is to better align a company’s financial reporting for hedging activities with the economic objectives of those activities. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018 and interim periods within those years, with early adoption permitted, and the Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this standard resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $0.3 million recorded as an increase to cumulative dividends in excess of earnings and an increase to accumulated other comprehensive income as of January 1, 2018 in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Equity.


In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-09, Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Scope of Modification Accounting, which provides updated guidance about which changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award would require an entity to apply modification accounting under the topic. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those years, and the Company adopted this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-05, Other Income - Gains and Losses from the Derecognition of Nonfinancial Assets (Subtopic 610-20): Clarifying the Scope of Asset Derecognition Guidance and Accounting for Partial Sales of Nonfinancial Assets, which provides guidance for recognizing gains and losses from the transfer of nonfinancial assets in contracts with non-customers. The new standard was issued as part of the new revenue standard (ASU 2014-09, as discussed below), and defines “in substance nonfinancial asset,” unifies guidance related to partial sales of nonfinancial assets, eliminates rules specifically addressing sales of real estate, removes exceptions to the financial asset derecognition model, and clarifies the accounting for contributions of nonfinancial assets to joint ventures. As a result of the new guidance, the guidance specific to real estate sales in Subtopic 360-20 was eliminated, and sales and partial sales of real estate assets will now be subject to the same derecognition model as all other nonfinancial assets. This standard is effective at the same time an entity adopts ASU 2014-09, which the Company adopted effective January 1, 2018. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805): Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The new standard provides a screen to determine when a set of assets and activities is not a business. The screen requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired or disposed of is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set is not a business. This standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and interim periods within those periods, and the Company adopted this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2018. As a result, it is expected that the majority of the Company's acquisitions will be accounted for as asset acquisitions, whereas under the former guidance the majority of the Company's acquisitions had been accounted for as business combinations. The most significant difference between the two accounting models that impacts the Company's consolidated financial statements is that in an asset acquisition, property acquisition costs are generally a component of the consideration transferred to acquire a group of assets and are capitalized as a component of the cost of the assets, whereas in a business combination, property acquisition costs are expensed and not included as part of the consideration transferred.

In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.The new standard requires that the statement of cash flows explain the changes during the period in the total of cash, cash equivalents, and amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents. This standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 and the Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018. As a result, the Company has included restricted cash with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning and end of period total amounts on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows. The effects of this standard were applied retrospectively to all prior periods presented. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the effect of the change in accounting principle was a decrease in cash provided by operating activities of approximately $0.5 million and an increase in cash used in investing activities of approximately $5.6 million on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities (Subtopic 825-10). The amendments in ASU 2016-01 address certain aspects of recognition, measurement, presentation, and disclosure of financial instruments. The standard primarily affects the accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option, and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. ASU 2016-01 is effective for the annual periods beginning after December 31, 2017 and for annual periods and interim periods within those years, and the Company adopted this standard prospectively effective January 1, 2018. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606). ASU 2014-09 is a comprehensive new revenue recognition model requiring a company to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to a customer at an amount reflecting the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those goods or services. Additionally, the new revenue guidance requires improved disclosures regarding the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The Company adopted this standard effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective approach. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company's consolidated financial statements.


New Accounting Standards Issued but not yet Adopted

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and various subsequent ASU’s, which sets out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). Topic 842 supersedes the previous leases standard, Topic 840, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases today. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to existing guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 is expected to impact the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has certain operating and land lease arrangements for which it is the lessee, which will result in the recording of a right of use asset and the related lease liability. The standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early adoption permitted. The new standard must be adopted using the modified retrospective transition method by recognizing a cumulative effect adjustment to the opening balance of cumulative dividends in excess of earnings, by either applying the new guidance at the beginning of the earliest comparative period or by applying the new guidance at the adoption date. The Company intends to adopt available practical expedients which allows the Company to 1) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; 2) not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and 3) not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact the adoption of ASU 2016-02 will have on the Company’s financial position or results of operations, and plans to adopt this standard effective January 1, 2019.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers(Topic 606), which the Company adopted on January 1, 2018, as discussedin “New Accounting Standards Adopted” above. While lease contracts with customers, which constitute a vast majority of the Company’s revenues, are specifically excluded from the model’s scope, once the new leases standard under ASU 2016-02 is adopted by the Company, the new revenue standard may apply to executory costs and other components of revenue due under leases that are deemed to be non-lease components (such as common area maintenance and provision of utilities), even when the revenue for such activities is not separately stipulated in the lease. In that case, revenue from these items previously recognized on a straight-line basis under current lease guidance would be recognized under the new revenue guidance as the related services are delivered. As a result, while the total revenue recognized over time would not differ under the new guidance, the recognition pattern may be different. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11 which amends Topic 842, Leases, and provides lessors with a practical expedient, by class of underlying asset, to not separate non-lease components from the associated lease component and, instead, to account for those components as a single component if the non-lease components otherwise would be accounted for under the new revenue guidance and both of the following are met: i) the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease component(s) and associated lease component are the same; and ii) the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Under this new expedient, if the non-lease components associated with the lease component are the predominant component of the combined component, a company should account for the combined component in accordance with Topic 606.606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. Otherwise, the company should account for the combined component as an operating lease in accordance with Topic 842. In December 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-20 which amends Topic 842, Leases, and allows lessors to continue to exclude from revenue the lessor costs that are paid by lessees directly to third parties. The Company adopted Topic 842 on January 1, 2019, using the practical

expedient, and it did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The Company determined that for all leases where the Company is currentlythe lessor, that the timing and pattern of transfer of the non-lease components and associated lease components are the same, and that the lease components, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. Accordingly, the Company has made an accounting policy election to recognize the combined component in accordance with Topic 842 as rental income on the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), and various subsequent ASU’s, which set out the principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both parties to a contract (i.e. lessees and lessors). Topic 842 superseded the previous leases standard, Topic 840, Leases. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification determines whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than 12 months regardless of their classification. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are accounted for similar to the previous guidance for operating leases. The new standard requires lessors to account for leases using an approach that is substantially equivalent to the previous guidance for sales-type leases, direct financing leases and operating leases. ASU 2016-02 impacted the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company has ground leases and its corporate office lease for which it is the lessee, which resulted in the processrecording of evaluatinga right-of-use asset and the impactrelated lease liability.

The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition method. The adoption of this standard resulted in a cumulative effect adjustment of approximately $0.2 million recorded as an increase to cumulative dividends in excess of earnings as of January 1, 2019 in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Equity. The cumulative effect adjustment related to initial direct costs of leases where the Company is the lessor and that, as of January 1, 2019, had not begun to amortize and are no longer allowed to be capitalized under the new standard. On January 1, 2019, the Company recognized operating lease right-of-use assets of approximately $16.3 million and related operating lease liabilities of approximately $18.0 million on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets, related to the leases where the Company is the lessee. The Company adopted the new standard using the practical expedient package which allowed the Company to (i) not reassess whether any expired or existing contracts are or contain leases; (ii) not reassess the lease classification for any expired or existing leases; and (iii) not reassess initial direct costs for any existing leases. This practical expedient allows the Company to continue to account for its ground leases as operating leases. Prospectively, any new or modified ground leases may be classified as a financing lease. The adoption of this standard by the Company has been applied as of January 1, 2019, and the comparative periods have not been restated.

For leases in which the Company is the lessee, the Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and corresponding lease liability on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets equal to the present value of the fixed lease payments. In determining operating right-of-use asset and lease liability for the Company’s existing operating leases upon the adoption of the new lease guidance, the Company was required to estimate an appropriate incremental borrowing rate on a fully-collateralized basis for the terms of the leases. The Company utilized a market-based approach to estimate the incremental borrowing rate for each individual lease. Since the terms under the ground leases are significantly longer than the terms of borrowings available to the Company on a fully-collateralized basis, the estimate of this rate required significant judgment, and considered factors such as yields on outstanding public debt and other market based pricing on longer duration financing instruments.

The new leases standard requires the Company to evaluate cash basis versus accrual basis of rental income recognition based on the collectability of future lease payments.

The applicable fair value guidance establishes a three tier value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair value of the Company’s debt is based on Level 3 inputs.

The Company’s use of derivative instruments is limited to the utilization of interest rate swaps to manage interest rate risk exposure on existing and future liabilities and not for speculative purposes.

Cash Flow Hedges of Interest Rate Risk


The Company’s objectives in using interest rate swaps are to add stability to interest expense and to manage its exposure to interest rate movements. 


For derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, the gain or loss on the derivative is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and subsequently reclassified into interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.


Amounts reported in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) related to derivatives designated as qualifying cash flow hedges will be reclassified to interest expense as interest payments are made on the Company'sCompany’s variable rate debt. The Company estimates that approximately $5.1$1.6 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) as a decreasean increase to interest expense over the next 12 months.

Credit-risk-related Contingent Features


The Company has agreements with each of its derivative counterparties that contain a provision where the Company could be declared in default on its derivative obligations if repayment of the underlying indebtedness is accelerated by the lender due to the Company'sCompany’s default on the indebtedness.


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the Company had no derivatives that werenot breached the provisions of these agreements and had not posted any collateral related to these agreements. If the Company had breached any of these provisions at June 30, 2019, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreement of the interest rate swaps in a net liability position by counterparty.counterparty plus accrued interest for approximately $18.0 million.


Fair Value of Interest Rate Swaps


The Company’s valuation of the interest rate swaps is determined 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.


The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. In adjusting the fair value of its derivative contracts for the effect of nonperformance risk, the Company has considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements, such as collateral postings, thresholds, mutual puts, and guarantees.


Although the Company has determined that the majority of the inputs used to value its derivatives fall within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy, the credit valuation adjustments associated with its derivatives utilize Level 3 inputs, such as estimates of current credit spreads to evaluate the likelihood of default by itself and its counterparties. However, as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 and December 31, 2017,2018, the Company has assessed the significance of the impact of the credit valuation adjustments on the overall valuation of its derivative positions and has determined that the credit valuation adjustments are not significant to the overall valuation of its derivatives. As a result, the Company has determined that its derivative valuations in their entirety are classified in Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.

Certain Definitions

In this report:

We define “GAAP” as generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.

We define “total annualized base rental revenue” as the contractual monthly base rent as of June 30, 2019 (which differs from rent calculated in accordance with GAAP) multiplied by 12. If a tenant is in a free rent period as of June 30, 2019, the total annualized base rental revenue is calculated based on the first contractual monthly base rent amount multiplied by 12.

We define “occupancy rate” as the percentage of total leasable square footage for which either revenue recognition has commenced in accordance with GAAP or the lease term has commenced as of the close of the reporting period, whichever occurs earlier.

We define the “Value Add Portfolio” as properties that meet any of the following criteria: (i) less than 75% occupied as of the acquisition date; (ii) will be less than 75% occupied due to known move-outs within two years of the acquisition date; (iii) out of service with significant physical renovation of the asset; or (iv) development.

We define “Stabilization” for properties under development or being redeveloped as the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or 12 months after completion. With respect to properties acquired and immediately added to the Value Add Portfolio, (i) if acquired with less than 75% occupancy as of the acquisition date, Stabilization will occur upon the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or 12 months from the acquisition date; or (ii) if acquired and will be less than 75% occupied due to known move-outs within two years of the acquisition date, Stabilization will occur upon the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy after the known move-outs have occurred or 12 months after the known move-outs have occurred.

We define the “Operating Portfolio” as all warehouse and light manufacturing assets that were acquired stabilized or have achieved Stabilization. The Operating Portfolio excludes non-core flex/office assets and assets contained in the Value Add Portfolio.

We define a “Comparable Lease” as a lease in the same space with a similar lease structure as compared to the previous in-place lease, excluding new leases for space that was not occupied under our ownership.

We define “SL Rent Change” as the percentage change in the average monthly base rent over the term of the lease, calculated on a straight-line basis, of the lease commenced during the period compared to the Comparable Lease for assets included in the Operating Portfolio. Rent under gross or similar type leases are converted to a net rent based on an estimate of the applicable recoverable expenses, and this calculation excludes the impact of any holdover rent.


26


We define “Cash Rent Change” as the percentage change in the base rent of the lease commenced during the period compared to the base rent of the Comparable Lease for assets included in the Operating Portfolio. The calculation compares the first base rent payment due after the lease commencement date compared to the base rent of the last monthly payment due prior to the termination of the lease, excluding holdover rent. Rent under gross or similar type leases are converted to a net rent based on an estimate of the applicable recoverable expenses.

We define a “New Lease” as any lease that is signed for an initial term equal to or greater than 12 months for any vacant space, including a lease signed by a new tenant or an existing tenant that is expanding into new (additional) space.

We define “Renewal” Lease as a lease signed by an existing tenant to extend the term for 12 months or more, including (i) a renewal of the same space as the current lease at lease expiration, (ii) a renewal of only a portion of the current space at lease expiration and (iii) an early renewal or workout, which ultimately does extend the original term for 12 months or more.

Overview


We are a REIT focused on the acquisition, ownership, and operation of single-tenant, industrial properties throughout the United States. We are a Maryland corporation and our common stock is publicly traded on the New York Stock Exchange under the symbol “STAG.”


We are organized and conduct our operations to qualify as a REIT under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, and generally are not subject to federal income tax to the extent we currently distribute our income to our stockholders and maintain our qualification as a REIT. We remain subject to state and local taxes on our income and property and to U.S. federal income and excise taxes on our undistributed income.


Factors That May Influence Future Results of Operations


Our ability to increase revenues or cash flow will depend in part on our (i) external growth, specifically acquisition activity, and (ii) internal growth, specifically occupancy and rental rates on our portfolio. A variety of other factors, including those noted below, also affect our future results of operations.

As used herein “total annualized base rental revenue” refers to the contractual monthly base rent as of September 30, 2018 (which differs from rent calculated in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”)) multiplied by 12. If a tenant is in a free rent period as of September 30, 2018, the annualized rent is calculated based on the first contractual monthly base rent amount multiplied by 12.


Outlook


The outlook for our business remains positive, albeit on a moderated basis in light of over eightnine years of economic growth, some uncertainty regarding the current U.S. presidential administration and its policy initiatives, and continued asset appreciation. In September 2018,the second quarter of 2019, the federal funds target rate was raised 25 basis points tounchanged at a target range of 2.00%2.25% to 2.25%2.50%. This announcementThe Federal Reserve has signaled it will support economic growth as needed. The current economic growth combined with the unwinding of its balance sheet by selling Treasury securities and anticipation of one more rate increase in 2018 are signs of the Central Bank’s confidence in the economy. The current trajectory of the federal funds target rate aligns with the Central Bank’s consistent commentary that future rate increases would be gradual. If interest rates rise further as a result of Federal Reserve policy action (short-term interest rates) or changes in market expectations and capital flows (long-term interest rates), we believe strengthening economic conditions are likely to accompany these changes. This strengthening of economic conditions combined with the currently favorable industrial supply demand environmentbalance should translate to a net positive result for our business. Specifically, our existing portfolio should benefit from rising rental rates and our acquisition activity should benefit from higher yields.strong occupancy. Furthermore, we believe certain characteristics of our business should position us well in a risingan uncertain interest rate environment, including the fact that we have minimal floating rate debt exposure (taking into account our hedging activities) and that many of our competitors for the assets we purchase tend to be smaller local and regional investors who are likely to be more heavily impacted by interest rate increases.

rates.
Several industrial specific trends contribute to the expected strong demand, including:


the rise of e-commerce (as compared to the traditional retail store distribution model) and the concomitant demand by e-commerce industry participants for well-located, functional distribution space;
the increasing attractiveness of the U.S. as a manufacturing and distribution location because of the size of the U.S. consumer market, an increase in overseas labor costs and the overall cost of supplying and shipping goods (i.e. the shortening and fattening of the supply chain); and
the overall quality of the transportation infrastructure in the U.S.


Furthermore,Our portfolio continues to benefit from historically low availability throughout the lacknational industrial market. At the end of the second quarter, demand for space has continued to outpace new supply supporting an accommodative environment for owners. Development activity has steadily increased over the past several years and is now reaching material speculative development and the broader failure of supply to keep pace with demand in many of our markets has improved and may continue to modestly improve occupancy levels and rental rates in our portfolio. We believe, however, that industrial supply, more so than other real estate property types, has historically had a short lead time and can appear quickly. We have started to see a notable pick-up in development activity in a growing number of the primary industrial markets. Though availability remains historically low, this is a trend we will monitor closely. In addition, currently, the supply remains fairly concentrated in the larger primary industrial markets and we have limited exposure to many of these markets. On the demand side, we note that the quality and availability of labor remains a key focus of tenants making occupancy decisions. We will continue to monitor the supply and demand fundamentals for industrial real estate and assess its impact on our business.

Conditions in Our Markets


The buildings in our portfolio are located in markets throughout the United States. Positive or negative changes in economic or other conditions, new supply, adverse weather conditions and natural disasters, and other factors in these markets may affect our overall performance.


Rental Income


We receive income primarily in the form of rental income from the tenants who occupy our buildings. The amount of rental income generated by the buildings in our portfolio depends principally on occupancy and rental rates. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, our Operating Portfolio was approximately 96.0%95.8% leased and our straight-line (“SL”) rent change (as defined below)SL Rent Change on new and renewal leases together grew approximately 10.6%18.6% and 14.7%21.4% during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, respectively.We define the Operating Portfolio as all warehouse and light manufacturing assets that were acquired stabilized or have achieved Stabilization. The Operating Portfolio excludes non-core flex/office assets and assets contained in the Value Add Portfolio.We define Stabilization for assets under redevelopment to occur upon the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or 12 months after completion. Stabilization for assets that were acquired and immediately added to the Value Add Portfolio occurs under the following: (i) if acquired with less than 75% occupancy as of the acquisition date, Stabilization will occur upon the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy or 12 months from the acquisition date; or (ii) if acquired and will be less than 75% occupied due to known move-outs within two years of the acquisition date, Stabilization will occur upon the earlier of achieving 90% occupancy after the known move-outs have occurred or 12 months after the known move-outs have occurred.We define the Value Add Portfolio as properties that meet any of the following criteria: (i) less than 75% occupied as of the acquisition date; (ii) will be less than 75% occupied due to known move-outs within two years of the acquisition date; or (iii) out of service with significant physical renovation of the asset.


Future economic downturns or regional downturns affecting our submarkets that impair our ability to renew or re-lease space and the ability of our tenants to fulfill their lease commitments, as in the case of tenant bankruptcies, could adversely affect our ability to maintain or increase rental rates at our buildings. Our ability to lease our properties and the attendant rental rate is dependent upon, among other things, (i) the overall economy, (ii) the supply/demand dynamic in our markets, (iii) the quality of our properties, including age, clear height, and configuration, and (iv) our tenants’ ability to meet their contractual obligations to us.



The following table provides a summary ofsummarizes our Operating Portfolio leases executedthat commenced during the three and ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019. Certain leases contain rental concessions; any such rental concessions are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

(1)We define Total Costs as the costs for improvements of vacant and renewal spaces, as well as the contingent-based legal fees and commissions for leasing transactions. Total Costs per square foot represent the total costs expected to be incurred on the leases signedthat commenced during the period and do not reflect actual expenditures for the period.
(2)
We define Cash Rent Change as the percentage change in the base rent of theweighted average lease executed during the period compared to the base rent of the Comparable Lease for assets included in the Operating Portfolio. The calculation compares the first base rent payment due after the lease commencement date compared to the base rent of the last monthly payment due prior to the termination of the lease, excluding holdover rent. Rent under gross or similar type leases are converted to a net rent based on an estimate of the applicable recoverable expenses.We define a Comparable Lease as a lease in the same space with a similar lease structure as compared to the previous in-place lease, excluding new leases for space that was not occupied under our ownership. This resulted in 192,707 and 1,532,343 square feet to be deemed non-comparable for three and nine months ended September 30, 2018, respectively.
(3)We define SL Rent Change as the percentage change in the average monthly base rent over the term of the lease, calculated on a straight-line basis, of the lease executed during the period compared to the Comparable Lease for assets included in the Operating Portfolio. Rent under gross or similar type leases are converted to a net rent based on an estimate of the applicable recoverable expenses, and this calculation excludes the impact of any holdover rent.
(4)We define Weighted Average Lease Term as the contractual lease term in years, as of the lease start dateassuming that tenants exercise no renewal options, purchase options, or early termination rights, weighted by square footage.
(5)(3)Represents the total rental concessions for the entire lease term.
(6)We define a New Lease as any lease that is signed for an initial term equal to or greater than twelve months for any vacant space; this includes a new tenant or an existing tenant that is expanding into new (additional) space.
(7)We define a Renewal Lease as a lease signed by an existing tenant to extend the term for twelve months or more, including (i) a renewal of the same space as the current lease at lease expiration, (ii) a renewal of only a portion of the current space at lease expiration and (iii) an early renewal or workout, which ultimately does extend the original term for twelve months or more.

 
Property Operating Expenses


Our property operating expenses generally consist of utilities, real estate taxes, management fees, insurance, and site repair and maintenance costs. For the majority of our tenants, our property operating expenses are controlled, in part, by the triple net provisions in tenant leases. In our triple net leases, the tenant is responsible for all aspects of and costs related to the building and its operation during the lease term, including utilities, taxes, insurance and maintenance costs.costs, but typically excluding roof and building structure. However, we also have modified gross leases and gross leases in our building portfolio. The terms of those leases vary and on some occasions we may absorb certain building related expenses of our tenants. In our modified gross leases, we are responsible for some building related expenses during the lease term, but the cost of most of the expenses is passed through to the tenant for reimbursement to us. In our gross leases, we are responsible for all costs related to the building and its operation during the lease term. Our overall performance will be affected by the extent to which we are able to pass-through property operating expenses to our tenants.


Scheduled Lease Expirations


Our ability to re-lease space subject to expiring leases will impact our results of operations and is affected by economic and competitive conditions in our markets and by the desirability of our individual buildings. Leases that comprise approximately 9.7%6.3% of our annualized base rental revenue will expire during the period from OctoberJuly 1, 20182019 to SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, excluding month to monthmonth-to-month leases. We assume, based upon internal renewal probability estimates that some of our tenants will renew and others will vacate and the associated space will be re-let subject to downtime assumptions. Using the aforementioned assumptions, we expect that the rental rates on the respective new leases will generally be higher thanthe same as the rates under existing leases expiring during the period OctoberJuly 1, 20182019 to SeptemberJune 30, 2019,2020, thereby resulting in higherapproximately the same revenue from the same space.



The following table sets forth a summary ofsummarizes lease expirations for leases in place as of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, plus available space, for each of the ten calendar years beginning with 20182019 and thereafter in our portfolio. The information in the table assumes that tenants exercise no renewal options and no early termination rights.

Results of Operations


The following discussion of our results of our same store (as defined below) net operating income (“NOI”) should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial Statements. For a detailed discussion of NOI, including the reasons management believes NOI is useful to investors, see “Non-GAAP Financial Measures” below. Same store results are considered to be useful to investors in evaluating our performance because they provide information relating to changes in building-level operating performance without taking into account the effects of acquisitions or dispositions. We encourage the reader to not only look at our same store results, but also our total portfolio results, due to historic and future growth.


Comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2018 to the three months ended September 30, 2017

We define same store properties as properties that were in the Operating Portfolio for the entirety of the comparative periods presented. Same store properties exclude Operating Portfolio properties with expansions placed into service after December 31, 2017. On June 30, 2017. On September 30, 2018,2019, we owned 309317 industrial buildings consisting of approximately 61.863.2 million square feet, which represents approximately 82.0%77.8% of our total portfolio, that are considered our same store portfolio in the analysis below. Same store occupancy decreased approximately 0.3%1.4% to 96.1%95.5% as of SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 compared to 96.4%96.9% as of SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018.

Net Income


Net income for our total portfolio decreased by $13.0$0.8 million or 59.4%5.3% to $8.9$14.2 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, compared to $21.8$15.0 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018.


Same Store Total Operating Revenue


Same store total operating revenue consists primarily of (i) rental income consisting of base rent,(i) fixed lease payments, variable lease payments, straight-line rentrental income, and above and below market lease amortization from our properties (“lease income”), and (ii) other tenant reimbursementsbillings for insurance, real estate taxes and certain other expenses (“tenant recoveries”other billings”).


For a detailed reconciliation of our same store total operating revenue to net income, see the table above.


Same store rental income, which is comprised of lease income and other billings as discussed below, increased by $1.3$0.8 million or 2.2%1.2% to $61.9$74.7 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 compared to $60.6$73.9 million for the three months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018.

Same store lease income increased by $0.5 million or 0.5% to $63.7 million for the three months ended June 30, 2019 compared to $63.2 million for the three months ended June 30, 2018.

Approximately $5.9$4.6 million of the increase was attributable to rental increases due to new leases and renewals of existing tenants. Same store rental income also increased bytenants and approximately $0.5$0.3 million due to a net decrease in the amortization of net above market leases. These increases wereThis increase was partially offset by an approximately $3.1 million decrease due to a reduction of base rent due to tenants downsizing their spaces and vacancies.

This increase was partially offset by a decreasevendors of approximately $1.3 million related to vacancy of previously occupied buildings and decreases in real estate taxes levied by the taxing authority. These increases were also partially offset by one of our properties where it was determined, during the nine months ended September 30, 2017, that the tenant will not be able to meet its requirements set forth by the taxing authority to be entitled to an abatement of real estate taxes. The abatement was applicable to prior periods, and therefore the expense and related recovery recorded for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 includes 36 months of real estate taxes, which attributed to approximately $0.6 million of the decrease in same store tenant recoveries as it did not recur for the nine months ended September 30, 2018.$2.1 million.

Total other expensesincome (expense) decreased $9.0$29.6 million or 73.1%481.0% to $3.3a total other expense position of $23.4 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 compared to $12.3a total other income position of $6.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. This decrease wasis primarily the result of an increasea decrease in the gain on the sales of rental property, net of approximately $13.1$27.4 million. This was partially offset bydecrease is also attributable to an increase in interest expense of approximately $4.0$2.1 million which was primarily attributable to a higher unsecured credit facility balance during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017, and the issuancefunding of new unsecured term loans on March 28, 2018 and July 27, 2018 and the funding of unsecured notes as discussed in Note 4 of the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements. The increase in interest expense was slightly offset by the repayment of several mortgage notes during the year ended December 31, 2017.on June 13, 2018.


Non-GAAP Financial Measures


In this report, we disclose funds from operations (“FFO”) and NOI, which meet the definition of “non-GAAP financial measures” as set forth in Item 10(e) of Regulation S-K promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). As a result, we are required to include in this report a statement of why management believes that presentation of these measures provides useful information to investors.


Funds From Operations


FFO should not be considered as an alternative to net income (determined in accordance with GAAP) as an indication of our performance, and we believe that to understand our performance further, FFO should be compared with our reported net income (loss) in accordance with GAAP, as presented in our consolidated financial statements included in this report.


We calculate FFO in accordance with the standards established by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”). FFO represents GAAP net income (loss), excluding gains (or losses) from sales of depreciable operating buildings, land sales, impairment write-downs of depreciable real estate, real estate related depreciation and amortization (excluding amortization of deferred financing costs and fair market value of debt adjustment) and after adjustments for unconsolidated partnerships and joint ventures.


Management uses FFO as a supplemental performance measure because it is a widely recognized measure of the performance of REITs. FFO may be used by investors as a basis to compare our operating performance with that of other REITs.


However, because FFO excludes depreciation and amortization and captures neither the changes in the value of our buildings that result from use or market conditions nor the level of capital expenditures and leasing commissions necessary to maintain the operating performance of our buildings, all of which have real economic effects and could materially impact our results from operations, the utility of FFO as a measure of our performance is limited. In addition, other REITs may not calculate FFO in accordance with the NAREIT definition, and, accordingly, our FFO may not be comparable to such other REITs’ FFO. FFO should not be used as a measure of our liquidity, and is not indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to pay dividends.


The following table sets forth a reconciliation of our FFO attributable to common stockholders and unit holders for the periods presented to net income, the nearest GAAP equivalent.

Net Operating Income


We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure to net income (loss) because we believe it helps investors and management understand the core operations of our buildings. NOI is defined as rental revenue, including reimbursementsincome, which includes billings for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and other income,insurance, less property expenses and real estate taxes and insurance. NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes expenses which could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies, as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI.

Net cash provided by operating activities increased $28.6$13.3 million to $148.6$110.6 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 compared to $120.0$97.3 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental operating cash flows from property acquisitions completed after December 31, 2016,June 30, 2018, and operating performance at existing properties. These increases were partially offset by the loss of cash flows from property dispositions completed after December 31, 2016June 30, 2018 and fluctuations in working capital due to timing of payments and rental receipts.


Net cash used in investing activities decreased $75.0increased $245.6 million to $393.3$444.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 compared to $468.3$198.9 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The decreasedincreased cash outflow was primarily due to the acquisition of 3624 buildings for a total cash consideration of approximately $458.4$445.4 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 compared to the acquisition of 4221 buildings for a total cash consideration of approximately $485.8$264.1 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The decreaseincrease is also attributable to a decrease in net proceeds from the salesales of 11rental property, net related to the disposition of five buildings and two land parcels during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 for net proceeds of approximately $89.4$17.7 million, compared to the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20172018 where we sold nineseven buildings for net proceeds of approximately $43.5$79.7 million.


Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $113.3increased $229.5 million to $227.8$321.0 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 compared to $341.0$91.5 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017.2018. The decrease wasincrease is primarily dueattributable to an increase inof net proceeds from the sales of common stock of approximately $210.1 million and an increase of net cash outflowinflow on our unsecured credit facility of approximately $393.0$282.5 million andduring the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2018. These increases were partially offset by a decrease in proceeds from sales of common stockunsecured term loans and unsecured notes of approximately $63.2$75.0 million as well asand $175.0 million, respectively, and an approximately $13.5$14.2 million increase in dividends paid during the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 compared to the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2017 and the redemption of the 6.625% Series B Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock (“Series B Preferred Stock”) of $70.0 million on July 11, 2018. These increases in net cash outflow were partially offset by the $150.0 million draw on the unsecured term loan that was entered into on July 28, 2017, the funding of the unsecured notes that were entered into on April 10, 2018 of $175.0 million, as well as a decrease in the repayment of mortgage notes of approximately $103.6 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2017.


Liquidity and Capital Resources


We believe that our liquidity needs will be satisfied through cash flows generated by operations, disposition proceeds, and financing activities. Operating cash flow is primarily rental income, expense recoveries from tenants, and other income from operations and is our principal source of funds that we use to pay operating expenses, debt service, recurring capital expenditures and the distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification. We look to the capital markets (common equity, preferred equity, and debt) to primarily fund our acquisition activity. We seek to increase cash flows from our properties by maintaining quality standards for our buildings that promote high occupancy rates and permit increases in rental rates while reducing tenant turnover and controlling operating expenses. We believe that our revenue, together with proceeds from building sales and debt and equity financings, will continue to provide funds for our short-term and medium-term liquidity needs.


Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds to pay for operating expenses and other expenditures directly associated with our buildings, including interest expense, interest rate swap payments, scheduled principal payments on outstanding indebtedness, funding of property acquisitions under contract, general and administrative expenses, and capital expenditures for tenant improvements and leasing commissions.


Our long-term liquidity needs, in addition to recurring short-term liquidity needs as discussed above, consist primarily of funds necessary to pay for acquisitions, non-recurring capital expenditures, and scheduled debt maturities. We intend to satisfy our long-term liquidity needs through cash flow from operations, the issuance of equity or debt securities, other borrowings, property dispositions, or, in connection with acquisitions of certain additional buildings, the issuance of common units in the Operating Partnership.
 
As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had total immediate liquidity of approximately $580.4$545.1 million, comprised of $6.0$5.1 million of cash and cash equivalents and $574.4$540.0 million of immediate availability on our unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans.

In addition, we require funds for future dividends to be paid to our common and preferred stockholders and common unit holders in ourthe Operating Partnership. The table below sets forth the dividends attributable to our outstanding common stock that had a record date during the nine months ended September 30, 2018. These distributions on our common stock are voluntary (at the discretion of our board of directors), to the extent we have satisfied distribution requirements in order to maintain our REIT status for federal income tax purposes, and may be reduced or stopped if needed to fund other liquidity requirements or for other reasons. The following table summarizes the dividends attributable to our outstanding common stock that had a record date during the six months ended June 30, 2019.

We believe that our current balance sheet is in an adequate position at the date of this filing, despite possible volatility in the credit markets.


Our interest rate exposure as it relates to interest expense payments on our floating rate debt is managed through our use of interest rate swaps, which fix the rate of our long term floating rate debt. For a detailed discussion on our use of interest rate swaps, see “Interest Rate Risk” below.

Interest Rate Risk


We use interest rate swaps to fix the rate of our variable rate debt. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate swaps.swaps through maturity.


We recognize all derivatives on the balance sheet at fair value. If the derivative is designated as a hedge, depending on the nature of the hedge, changes in the fair value of derivatives are either offset against the change in fair value of the hedged assets, liabilities, or firm commitments through earnings or recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), which is a component of equity. Derivatives that are not designated as hedges must be adjusted to fair value and the changes in fair value must be reflected as income or expense.


We have established criteria for suitable counterparties in relation to various specific types of risk. We only use counterparties that have a credit rating of no lower than investment grade at swap inception from Moody’s Investor Services, Standard & Poor’s, or Fitch Ratings or other nationally recognized rating agencies.

The swaps outlined in the above table were all designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, and all are valued as Level 2 financial instruments. Level 2 financial instruments are defined as significant other observable inputs. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, the fair value of alleight of our 25 interest rate swaps were in an asset position of approximately $17.6$1.0 million and the fair value of 20 of our interest rate swaps were in a liability position of approximately $18.9 million, including any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements.


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had $695.0$729.0 million of variable rate debt. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate swaps.swaps through maturity. To the extent interest rates increase, interest costs on our floating rate debt not fixed with interest rate swaps will increase, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our security holders. From time to time, we may enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including swaps, caps and floors. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions.


Off-balance Sheet Arrangements


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had letters of credit related to development projects and certain other agreements of approximately $5.6$6.0 million and a development commitment related to a building expansion under a tenant lease of approximately $3.1 million. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had no other material off-balance sheet arrangements.


Item 3.  Quantitativeand Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk


Our future income, cash flows and fair values relevant to financial instruments are dependent upon prevailing market interest rates. Market risk refers to the risk of loss from adverse changes in market prices and interest rates. The primary market risk we are exposed to is interest rate risk.  We have used derivative financial instruments to manage, or hedge, interest rate risks related to our borrowings, primarily through interest rate swaps.


As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, we had $695.0$729.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding. As of SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of $95.0$129.0 million outstanding under our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate swaps. To the extent we undertake additional variable rate indebtedness, if interest rates increase, then so will the interest costs on our unhedged variable rate debt, which could adversely affect our cash flow and our ability to pay principal and interest on our debt and our ability to make distributions to our security holders. Further, rising interest rates could limit our ability to refinance

existing debt when it matures or significantly increase our future interest expense. From time to time, we enter into interest rate swap agreements and other interest rate hedging contracts, including swaps, caps and floors. While these agreements are intended to lessen the impact of rising interest rates on us, they also expose us to the risk that the other parties to the agreements will not perform, we could incur significant costs associated with the settlement of the agreements, the agreements will be unenforceable and the underlying transactions will fail to qualify as highly-effective cash flow hedges under GAAP. In addition, an increase in interest rates could decrease the amounts third parties are willing to pay for our assets, thereby limiting our ability to change our portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. If interest rates increased by 100 basispoints and assuming we had an outstanding balance of $95.0$129.0 million on our unsecured credit facility (the portion outstanding at SeptemberJune 30, 20182019 not fixed by interest rate swaps) for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018,2019, our interest expense would have increased by approximately $0.7$0.6 million for the ninesix months ended SeptemberJune 30, 2018.2019.
