On February 25 2021, the Company assumed a mortgage note with United of Omaha Life Insurance Company of approximately $5.1 million in connection with the acquisition of the property located in Long Island, NY, which serves as collateral for the debt. The debt matures on October 1, 2039 and bears interest at 3.71% per annum. The assumed debt was recorded at fair value and a fair value discount of approximately $0.2 million was recorded during three months ended March 31, 2021. The fair value of debt was determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rate of approximately 4.10% at which loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings for loans with similar maturities, terms, and loan-to-value ratios. The fair value of the debt is based on Level 3 inputs and is a nonrecurring fair value measurement.
On February 5, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the unsecured credit facility (the “Credit Facility Amendment”). The Credit Facility Amendment provides for an increase in the aggregate commitments available for borrowing under the unsecured credit facility from $500 million to up to $750 million. As of March 31, 2021, the unsecured credit facility bore an interest rate of LIBOR plus a spread of 0.90% based on the Company’s debt rating, as defined in the loan agreement. In connection with the Credit Facility Amendment, the Company incurred approximately $1.2 million in costs which are being deferred and amortized through the maturity date of the unsecured credit facility. Other than the increase in the borrowing commitments, the material terms of the unsecured credit facility remain unchanged.
On February 5, 2021, the Company entered into an amendment to the Unsecured Term Loan G (the “Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G”). The Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G provides for an extension of the maturity date to February 5, 2026 and a reduced stated interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread that ranges from 0.85% to 1.65% for LIBOR borrowings based on the Company’s debt ratings. The Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G also amended the provision for a minimum interest rate, or floor, for LIBOR borrowings to 0.00% and for Base Rate borrowings to 1.00%. As of March 31, 2021, borrowings under the Unsecured Term Loan G bore interest at LIBOR plus 1.00%. In connection with the Amendment to Unsecured Term Loan G, the Company incurred approximately $1.6 million in costs which are being deferred and amortized through the new maturity date of February 5, 2026. The Company also incurred approximately $0.7 million of modification expenses which were recognized in debt extinguishment and modification expenses in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of Operations. Additionally, the Company reversed the previously accrued extension fees of approximately $1.1 million from the amendment to the Unsecured Term Loan G that was entered into on April 17, 2020, which resulted in a decrease to interest expense of approximately $0.3 million. Other than the maturity and interest rate provisions described above, the material terms of the Unsecured Term Loan G remain unchanged. | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | |

The applicable fair value guidance establishes a three tier fair 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.
5. Derivative Financial Instruments
Risk Management Objective of Using Derivatives
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. The principal objective of such arrangements is to minimize the risks and related costs associated with the Company’s operating and financial structure.
The following table summarizes the Company’s outstanding interest rate swaps as of March 31, 2021.2022. All of the Company’s interest rate swaps are designated as qualifying cash flow hedges.

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 intoto 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’s variable rate debt. The Company estimates that approximately $15.4$2.2 million will be reclassified from accumulated other comprehensive lossincome (loss) as an increasea decrease to interest expense over the next 12 months.
The following table summarizes the effect of cash flow hedge accounting and the location of amounts related to Company’s derivatives in the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020.2021.

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’s default on the indebtedness.
As of March 31, 2021,2022, the Company had not 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 March 31, 2021,2022, it could have been required to settle its obligations under the agreement of theagreements for any interest rate swaps in a net liability position by counterparty, plus accrued interest forof approximately $29.2$0.1 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 andthe Company or its counterparties. However, as of March 31, 20212022 and December 31, 2020,2021, 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.

The Company evaluates its operating leases to determine if it is probable it will collect substantially all of the lessee'slessee’s remaining lease payments under the lease term. For those that are not probable of collection, the Company converts to the cash basis of accounting. If the Company subsequently determines that it is probable it will collect substantially all of the lessee'slessee’s remaining lease payments under the lease term, the Company will reinstate the accrued rent balance adjusting for the amount related to the period when the lease was accounted for on a cash basis. During the three months ended March 31, 2021, this resulted in a net increase of rental income of approximately $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to the reversal of a net accrued rent liability and tenants converting from cash basis accounting to accrual basis accounting. Additionally, there was $1.4 million of contractual rental income not received from cash basis tenants partially offset by $1.2 million of previously unrecognized rental income payments received from tenants under the cash basis of accounting during the three months ended March 31, 2021.

We define “GAAP” as“GAAP” means generally accepted accounting principles in the United States.
We define “total“Total annualized base rental revenue” asmeans the contractual monthly base rent as of March 31, 20212022 (which differs from rent calculated in accordance with GAAP) multiplied by 12. If a tenant is in a free rent period as of March 31, 2021,2022, the total annualized base rental revenue is calculated based on the first contractual monthly base rent amount multiplied by 12.
We define “occupancy“Occupancy rate” asmeans 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“Value Add Portfolio” asmeans our 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”“Stabilization” for properties under development or being redeveloped asmeans, 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“Operating Portfolio” asmeans all warehouse and light manufacturing assets that were acquired stabilized or have achieved Stabilization. The Operating Portfolio excludes non-core flex/office assets, assets contained in the Value Add Portfolio, and assets classified as held for sale.
We define a “Comparable“Comparable Lease” asmeans 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.

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.
We define “Cash“Cash Rent Change” asmeans 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.

Overview
We are a REITreal estate operating company 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 qualifymaintain our qualification 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 our acquisition activity, and (ii) internal growth, specifically our portfolio occupancy and rental rates on our portfolio.rates. A variety of other factors, including those noted below, also may affect our future results of operations.
COVID-19 Pandemic
Since March 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic has severely harmed global economic activity, and caused significant volatility and negative pressure in financial markets. The global impact of the pandemic continues to evolvemarkets, and many countries, including the United States, continue to react by instituting quarantines, mandating business and school closures and restricting travel. As a result, the COVID-19 pandemic is negatively impactingimpacted almost every industry, including the real estate industry and the industries of our tenants, directly or indirectly. The rapid development and fluidity of the COVID-19 pandemic precludes any prediction as to the ultimate adverse impact the pandemic may have on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
We did not incur significant disruptions or enter into any rent deferral agreements from the COVID-19 pandemic during the three months ended March 31, 2021. In addition, we did not enter into any rent deferral agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022. We will continue to evaluate tenant rent relief requests on an individual basis, considering a number of factors. Not all tenant requests will ultimately result in modified agreements, nor are we foregoing our contractual rights under our lease agreements.
The COVID-19 pandemic or a future pandemic, epidemic or outbreak of infectious disease affecting states or regions in which we or our tenants operate could have material and adverse effects on our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to, among other factors: health or other government authorities requiring the closure of offices or other businesses or instituting quarantines of personnel as the result of, or in order to avoid, exposure to a contagious disease;
disruption in supply and delivery chains; a general decline in business activity and demand for real estate; reduced economic activity, general economic decline or recession, which may impact our tenants’ businesses, financial condition and liquidity and may cause one or more of our tenants to be unable to make rent payments to us timely, or at all, or to otherwise seek modifications of lease obligations; difficulty accessing debt and equity capital on attractive terms, or at all, and a severe disruption and instability in the global financial markets or deteriorations in credit and financing conditions, which may affect our access to capital necessary to fund business operations or address maturing liabilities on a timely basis; and the potential negative impact on the health of our personnel, particularly if a significant number of our employees are impacted, which would result in a deterioration in our ability to ensure business continuity during a disruption.
The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic or any other pandemic, epidemic or disease impacts our operations and those of our tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including among others, the scope, severity and duration of the pandemic, the actions taken to contain the pandemic or mitigate its impact, and the direct and indirect economic effects of the pandemic and containment measures, among others.measures. Nevertheless, the COVID-19 pandemic (or a future pandemic, epidemic or disease) presents material uncertainty and risk with respect to our business, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows.
Outlook
Our business is affected bySince the uncertainty regardingeconomic trough from the current COVID-19 pandemic the effectiveness of policies introduced to neutralize the disease, and the impact of those policies on economic activity. In Junein April 2020, the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the United States entered into a recession in February 2020. More recent economic measurements show that the U.S. economy is recovering. The ultimate shapehas rebounded and GDP increased by approximately 5.7% in 2021. However, in the first quarter of the recovery will depend on2022, this economic growth was overshadowed by continued high inflation rates and supply chain disruptions due to many factors, including, but not limited to, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine and the lengthongoing COVID-19 pandemic (including periods of rising COVID-19 cases from new or mutated variants). While the macro-economic conditions continue to evolve and severity of the COVID-19 pandemic. While there has been a negative impact to our tenants, we believe we will continue to benefit from having a well-diversified portfolio across various markets, tenant industries, and lease terms. Additionally, we believe that the COVID-19 pandemic isand geopolitical tensions are accelerating a number of trends that positively impact U.S. industrial demand.
Over the course of the COVID-19 pandemic, the U.S. federal and state governments, as well as the Federal Reserve, responded to the profoundly uncertain outlook with a series of fiscal and monetary policies to ease the economic burden of COVID-19 closures on businesses and individuals. In March 2021,Given the latest major U.S. congressional policy action known ashistorically high inflation and strong employment reports in the American Rescue Plan, allocated $1.9 trillion in federal aid focused on individuals and state and local governments. Thefirst quarter of 2022, the Federal Reserve continues to be accommodative since it completed two emergency federal funds rate cuts in March 2020has shifted away from an expansionary monetary policy and raised interest rates 25 basis points to a range between 0%0.25% to 0.25%. Additionally, since entering office0.50% in January 2021,March 2022, which was the Biden administration and health organizations are heavily focused on curbing the spread of COVID-19 through vaccinations and have made progress toward reaching a large portion of the population.first rate increase in over three years. We expect supportive fiscal and monetary policy to continue to tighten with increasing interest rates and decreasing Federal Reserve balance sheet; provided, that fiscal policy will likely remain accommodative, as needed.needed, to counteract COVID-19 variants.
We believe that the current economic environment, while volatile, will provide us with an opportunity to demonstrate the diversification of our portfolio. Specifically, we believe our existing portfolio should benefit from competitive rental rates and strong occupancy. In addition to our diversified portfolio, we believe that certain characteristics of our business and capital structure should position us well in an uncertain environment, including, the fact that we haveamong others, our minimal amount of floating rate debt exposure (taking into account our hedging activities) and strong liquidity and access to capital, 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 rates and availability of capital.ample liquidity.
Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, we expect acceleration in a number of industrial specific trends will continue to support stronger long-term demand for industrial properties, 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 United States as a manufacturing and distribution location because of the size of the U.S. consumer market, an increase in overseas labor costs, a desire for greater supply chain resilience and redundancy 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 United States.
Our portfolio continues to benefit from historically low availability throughout the national industrial market. TheWhile the COVID-19 pandemic has caused both positive and negative impacts at varying levels across different industries and geographies.
Ultimately, the acceleration in e-commerce, brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, actions taken by federal and state governments and the Federal Reserve, in response to the pandemic, and the recent economic recovery has helpedhave resulted in strong demand for industrial space demand remain strong.space. We believe that the diversification of our portfolio by market, tenant industry, and tenant credit will prove to be a strength in this environment. Industrial development continues to be concentrated in the larger primary markets and, after a brief deceleration, it has returned to and exceeded pre-COVID-19
pandemic levels. We have limited exposure to many of the most active development markets. 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, natural disasters, epidemics, 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 March 31, 2021, our Operating Portfolio was approximately 97.2% leased and our SL Rent Change on New Leases and Renewal Leases in our Operating Portfolio together grew approximately 18.7% duringDuring the three months ended March 31, 2021, respectively. Our2022, the SL Rent Change and the Cash Rent Change on New Leases and Renewal Leases in ourthe Operating Portfolio together grew approximately 9.6%25.1% and 15.2%, respectively, during the three months ended March 31, 2021.2022.
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, including those brought on by the COVID-19 pandemic, 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 summarizes ourthe Operating Portfolio leases that commenced during the three months ended March 31, 2021. Certain leases contain rental concessions; any such2022. Any rental concessions in such leases are accounted for on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease.

Additionally, for the three months ended March 31, 2021,2022, leases commenced totaling 106,200 square feet, respectively, related to the Value Add Portfolio and first generation leasing, with a total of 511,236 square feet, are excluded from the Operating Portfolio statistics above.
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, 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 weportfolio, which may require us to absorb certain building related expenses of our tenants. In our modified gross leases, we are responsible for somecertain building related expenses during the lease term, but the cost of most of the expenses isare passed through to the tenant for reimbursement to us. In our gross leases, we are responsible for all costsexpenses 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 impactimpacts our results of operations and iswill be affected by economic and competitive conditions in our markets and by the desirability of our individual buildings. Leases that comprise approximately 9.1%6.8% of our annualized base rental revenue will expire during the period from April 1, 20212022 to March 31, 2022,2023, excluding month-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 the same asgreater than the rates under existing leases expiring during the period April 1, 20212022 to March 31, 2022,2023, thereby resulting in approximately the samean increase in revenue from the same space.
The following table summarizes lease expirations for leases in place as of March 31, 2021,2022, plus available space, for each of the ten calendar years beginning with 20212022 and thereafter in our portfolio. The information in the table assumes that tenants do not exercise no renewal options and noor early termination rights.

Critical Accounting Policies

Incentive and Equity-Based Employee Compensation Plans
On January 7, 2021, we adopted the STAG Industrial, Inc. Employee Retirement Vesting Program (the “Vesting Program”) to provide supplemental retirement benefits for eligible employees. For those employees who are retirement eligible or will become retirement eligible during the applicable vesting period under the terms of the Vesting Program, we accelerate equity-based compensation through the employee’s six-month retirement notification period or retirement eligibility date, respectively. The adoption of the Vesting Program resulted in an increase to general and administrative expenses of approximately $1.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 due to the acceleration of equity-based compensation expense for certain eligible employees. We estimate that the adoption of the Vesting Program will result in an increase in general and administrative expenses of approximately $2.4 million for the year ending December 31, 2021.

Net Income
Net income for our total portfolio decreasedincreased by $39.7approximately $28.6 million, or 61.0%113.0%, to approximately $54.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022, compared to approximately $25.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021, compared to $65.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021.
Same Store Total Operating Revenue
Same store total operating revenue consists primarily of rental income consisting offrom (i) fixed lease payments, variable lease payments, straight-line rental income, and above and below market lease amortization from our properties (“lease income”), and (ii) other tenant billings for insurance, real estate taxes and certain other expenses (“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 ofincludes lease income and other billings as discussed below, increased by $2.8approximately $4.2 million, or 2.5%3.3%, to $112.8approximately $133.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 compared to $110.1approximately $129.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021.
Same store lease income increased by $1.0approximately $2.1 million, or 1.1%2.0%, to $94.3approximately $109.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 compared to $93.3approximately $107.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. The increase iswas primarily due to an increase in rental income of approximately $2.4$4.3 million due tofrom the execution of new leases and lease renewals with existing tenants as well asand a net decrease in the amortization of net above market leases of approximately $0.2 million. These increases were partially offset by a net reduction of rental income of approximately $0.6 million at properties in which we determined that the future collectability was not reasonably assured, and accordingly, we converted to the cash basis of accounting and reversed any accounts receivable and accrued rent balances into rental income and did not recognize revenue for payments that were not received from the tenants. The decrease was also attributable to the reduction of base rent of approximately $1.0$2.4 million due to tenant vacancy.vacancies.
Same store other billings increased by $1.7approximately $2.1 million, or 10.1%9.5%, to $18.5approximately $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 compared to $16.8approximately $21.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. The increase was attributable to an increase of approximately $0.9$1.7 million related to other expense reimbursements due tofrom an increase in corresponding expenses.expenses and changes to lease terms where we began paying the operating expenses on behalf of tenants that had previously paid its operating expenses directly to respective vendors. Additionally, there was an increase in real estate taxes levied by the taxing authority and changes to lease terms where we began paying the real estate taxes on behalf of tenants that had previously paid its taxes and operating expenses directly to respective vendorsthe taxing authority of approximately of approximately $0.8$0.4 million.
Same Store Operating Expenses
Same store operating expenses consist primarily of property operating expenses and real estate taxes and insurance.

This increase was primarily related to an increase in utilities expense of approximately $0.8 million and real estate taxes of approximately $0.7 million levied by the taxing authority and changes to lease terms where we began paying the real estate taxes on behalf of tenants that had previously paid its taxes directly to the taxing authority. The increase was also attributable to increases of approximately $1.4$0.2 million an increase of $0.9 million related to snow removalin insurance expense and an increase of $0.6approximately $0.2 million related to insurance, utility,in repairs and maintenance and other expenses.
Acquisitions and Dispositions Net Operating Income
For a detailed reconciliation of our acquisitions and dispositions NOI to net income, see the table above.
Subsequent to December 31, 2019,2020, we acquired 5374 buildings consisting of approximately 11.113.1 million square feet (excluding one buildingeight buildings that waswere included in the Value Add Portfolio at March 31, 20212022 or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2019)2020), and sold 1123 buildings consisting of approximately 3.92.9 million square feet.feet and one land parcel. For the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the buildings acquired after December 31, 20192020 contributed approximately $13.6$16.9 million and $1.5$0.8 million to NOI, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, the buildings sold after December 31, 20192020 contributed approximately $(40,000)$0.3 million and $2.3$1.0 million to NOI, respectively. Refer to Note 3 in the accompanying Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for additional discussion regarding buildings acquired or sold.
Other Net Operating Income
Our otherOther assets include our flex/office buildings, Value Add Portfolio, and Operating Portfolio buildings with expansions placed in service or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2019.2020. Other NOI also includes termination, solar, and other income adjustments from buildings in our same store portfolio.
For a detailed reconciliation of our other NOI to net income, see the table above.
At March 31, 2021, we owned eight flex/office buildings consisting of approximately 0.4 million square feet, one building in our Value Add Portfolio consisting of approximately $0.1 million square feet, and eight buildings consisting of approximately 2.0 million square feet that were Operating Portfolio buildings with expansions placed in service or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, 2019. These buildings contributed approximately $3.0$2.7 million and $1.6$0.8 million to NOI for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively. Additionally, there was approximately $(0.5)$0.9 million and $0.1$0.3 million of termination, solar, and other income adjustments from certain buildings in our same store portfolio for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 and 2020,2021, respectively.
Total Other Expenses
Total other expenses consist of general and administrative expenses, depreciation and amortization, and other expenses.
Total other expenses increased $8.5approximately $8.1 million, or 13.4%11.3%, for the three months ended March 31, 20212022 to $72.0approximately $80.2 million compared to $63.5approximately $72.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. The increase iswas primarily a result of an increase in depreciation and amortization of approximately $5.7$9.0 million due to an increase in the depreciable asset base as a result offrom net acquisitions. Additionally,This increase was partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses increased byof approximately $2.4$0.5 million primarily due to the adoption of our retirement vesting program on January 7, 2021 and related acceleration of equity-based compensation expense for certain eligible employees related to the adoption of the Vesting Program in the amount of approximately $1.5 million. General and administrative expenses also increased due to increases in compensation and other payroll costs. Additionally, other expenses increased approximately $0.4 million due to the settlement of litigation related to a terminated acquisition contractthat did not recur during the COVID-19 pandemic.three months ended March 31, 2022.

Additionally, interest expense increased approximately $0.5$1.9 million which wasis primarily attributable to the fundingissuance of the Unsecured Term Loan F$325.0 million of unsecured notes on March 25, 2020.September 28, 2021.
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”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 NAREITNareit 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 income, which includes billings for common area maintenance, real estate taxes and 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 $2.9approximately $15.4 million to approximately $88.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to approximately $73.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to $70.6 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021. The increase was primarily attributable to incremental operating cash flows from property acquisitions completed after March 31, 2020,2021, and operating performance at existing properties. These increases were partially offset by the loss of cash flows from property dispositions completed after March 31, 20202021 and fluctuations in working capital due to the timing of payments and rental receipts.
Net cash used in investing activities increased $43.5approximately $69.3 million to approximately $148.8 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to approximately $79.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared2021. The increase was primarily attributable to $36.0the acquisition of eight buildings for a total cash consideration of approximately $166.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The increase was primarily attributable to a decrease in proceeds from sales of rental property, net related to the disposition of four buildings during the three months ended March 31, 2021 for net proceeds of approximately $23.9 million,2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020 where we sold three buildings for net proceeds of approximately $99.7 million. This was partially offset by the acquisition of six buildings for a total cash consideration of approximately $95.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the acquisition of nine buildings for a total cash consideration of approximately $119.3 million for the three months ended March 31, 2020.2021.
Net cash provided by financing activities decreased $286.9increased approximately $66.7 million to approximately $74.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2022 compared to approximately $8.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared2021. The increase is primarily attributable to $294.9the redemption of preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation value of $75.0 million forduring the three months ended March 31, 2020. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of2021 that did not recur, as well as an increase in net proceeds received from the salessale of common stock of approximately $151.1$33.5 million, during the redemptionthree months ended March 31, 2022. These increases were partially offset by a net cash outflow of the Series C Preferred Stock (as defined below) of $75.0approximately $38.0 million from our unsecured credit facility and an increase of approximately $5.1$6.2 million in dividends paid during the three months ended March 31, 20212022 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. Additionally, the funding of the Unsecured Term Loan F of $100.0 million did not recur during the three months ended March 31, 2021 compared to the three months ended March 31, 2020. These decreases were partially offset by a net cash inflow of approximately $47.0 million from our unsecured credit facility.2021.
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 primarilyfrom 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 toprimarily rely on the capital markets (common equity,and preferred equity and debt)debt securities) to primarily fund our acquisition activity. We seek to increase cash flows from our properties by maintaining quality building 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 debtequity and equitydebt financings, will continue to provide funds for our short-term and medium-term liquidity needs.
Our short-term liquidity requirements consist primarily of funds necessary 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 property 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.

Interest Rate Risk
We use interest rate swaps to fix the rate of our variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2021,2022, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate 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 March 31, 2021,2022, the fair value of three14 of our interest rate swaps were in aan asset position of approximately $3.6$27.7 million, including any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements. The remaining 21nine interest rate swaps were in a liability position of approximately $32.1$2.3 million, including any adjustment for nonperformance risk related to these agreements.
As of March 31, 2021,2022, we had $1,208.0approximately $1,359.0 million of variable rate debt. As of March 31, 2021,2022, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility, was fixed with interest rate 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 March 31, 2021,2022, we had letters of credit related to development projects and certain other agreements of approximately $2.6$3.7 million. As of March 31, 2021,2022, we had no other material off-balance sheet arrangements.
Item 3. Quantitative and 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 March 31, 2021,2022, we had $1,208.0$1,359.0 million of variable rate debt outstanding. As of March 31, 2021,2022, all of our outstanding variable rate debt, with the exception of our unsecured credit facility which had a balance of $233.0$384.0 million, was fixed with interest rate swaps through maturity. 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. 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 basis points and assuming we had an outstanding balance of $233.0$384.0 million on our unsecured credit facility for the yearthree months ended March 31, 2021,2022, our interest expense would have increased by approximately $0.6$1.0 million for the yearthree months ended March 31, 2021.2022.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As required by SEC Rule 13a-15(b), we have evaluated, under the supervision of and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) of the Exchange Act, as of March 31, 2021.2022. Based on the foregoing, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures for the periods covered by this report were effective to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by our Company in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Changes in Internal Controls
There was no change to our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended March 31, 20212022 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II. Other Information
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are a party to various lawsuits, claims and other legal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We are not currently a party, as plaintiff or defendant, to any legal proceedings which, individually or in the aggregate, would be expected to have a material effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations if determined adversely to our company.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Other than the following, there have been no material changes from the risk factors disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 20202021 filed with the SEC on February 10, 2021.16, 2022.
WeOur performance is subject to general economic conditions and risks associated with our real estate assets.
The investment returns available from equity investments in real estate depend on the amount of income earned and capital appreciation generated by the properties, as well as the expenses incurred in connection with the properties. If our properties do not generate income sufficient to meet operating expenses, including debt service and capital expenditures, then our ability to make distributions to stockholders could be adversely affected. In addition, there are significant expenditures associated with an investment in real estate (such as debt payments, real estate taxes and maintenance costs) that generally do not decline when circumstances reduce the income from the property. Income from and the value of our properties may be adversely affected by, developments in the LIBOR market or the use of alternative reference rates.among other things:
As•a global economic crisis that results in increased budget deficits and weakened financial condition of March 31, 2021, approximately 65.7% or $1,208.0 million of our outstanding debt was indexed to LIBOR. On March 5, 2021, the Financial Conduct Authority (“FCA”) announced that U.S. dollar LIBOR will no longer be published after June 30, 2023. This announcement has several implications, including setting the spread that may be used to automatically convert contracts from LIBOR to the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”). Additionally, banking regulators are encouraging banks to discontinue new LIBOR debt issuances by December 31, 2021. While we expect LIBOR to be available in substantially its current form until June 30, 2023, it is possible that LIBOR will become unavailable prior to that date. For example, if sufficient banks decline to make submissions to the LIBOR administrator, LIBOR may become unavailableinternational, national and the risks associated with the transition to an alternative reference rate will be accelerated and magnified.
Any changes adopted by the FCA or other governing bodies in the method used for determining LIBOR or the transition from LIBOR to a successor benchmark may result in, among other things, (i) a sudden or prolonged increase or decrease in reported LIBOR, (ii) a delay in the publication of LIBOR, (iii) higher interest obligations arising from such successor benchmark, (iv) changes in the rules or methodologies for determining LIBOR in the overall debt capital markets, which may discourage market participants from continuing to administer or to participate in variable rate debt tied to LIBOR or such successor benchmark, (v) the introduction of financial products and changes in market practices,local governments, which may lead to risk modelingreduced governmental spending, tax increases, public sector job losses, increased interest rates, currency devaluations, defaults on debt obligations or other adverse economic events;

•tenant turnover, the attractiveness of our properties to potential tenants and valuation challenges,changes in supply of, or demand for, similar or competing properties in an area (including from general overbuilding or excess supply in the market);

We are monitoringIn addition, our investments could be materially adversely affected by changes in national and evaluatinginternational political, environmental and socioeconomic circumstances, such as the risks relatedescalating conflict between Russia and Ukraine and the significant sanctions and other restrictive actions taken against Russia by the United States and other countries in response to our debt indexed to LIBOR, which include interest on loans or amounts received and paid on derivative instruments. These risks ariseRussia’s invasion of Ukraine in connection with transitioning contracts to an alternative rate, including any resulting value transfer that may occur, and are likely to vary by contract. The value of loans, securities, or derivative instruments tied to LIBOR,February 2022, as well as interest ratesthe cessation of all business in Russia by many global companies. As further military conflicts and economic sanctions continue to evolve, it has become increasingly difficult to predict the impact of these events or how long they will last. Depending on direction and timing, the conflict between Russia and Ukraine may significantly adversely affect economic and market conditions, the level and volatility of real estate and securities prices and the liquidity of our currentinvestments, which could impair our profitability or future indebtedness, may also be impacted if LIBOR is limited or discontinued. For some instruments, the method of transitioning to an alternative reference rate may be challenging, especially if we cannot agree with the respective counterparty about how to make the transition.
As a result, there can be no assurance that any of the aforementioned developments or changes will not result in financial market disruptions, significant increases in benchmark interest rates, substantially higher financing costs or a shortage of available debt financing, any of which could have an adverse effect on us.

AppointmentApril 2022 Note Purchase Agreement
On April 28, 2022, we entered into a note purchase agreement (the “April 2022 NPA”) for the future private placement by the Operating Partnership of Certain Officers$400 million of senior unsecured notes, maturing June 28, 2032, with a fixed annual interest rate of 4.12%. The notes are expected to be issued on or around June 28, 2022, subject to conditions.
The April 2022 NPA contains a number of financial covenants substantially similar to the financial covenants contained in our unsecured credit facility, plus a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00. Subject to the terms of the April 2022 NPA, upon certain events of default, including, but not limited to, (i) a default in the payment of any principal, interest or the Make-Whole Amount (as defined in the April 2022 NPA), and (ii) a default in the payment of certain other indebtedness, the principal, the accrued and unpaid interest and the Make-Whole Amount on the outstanding notes will become due and payable at the option of the holders. The Company and certain of its subsidiaries will guarantee the obligations under the notes, subject to release pursuant to the terms of the April 2022 NPA.
We intend to use the net proceeds from the issuance of the notes to repay indebtedness outstanding under our unsecured credit facility and for general corporate purposes, including funding future acquisitions. The notes have not been and will not be registered under the Securities Act, and may not be offered or sold absent registration or an applicable exemption from the
registration requirements. We offered and sold the notes in reliance on the exemption from registration provided by Section 4(a)(2) of the Securities Act.
The foregoing description of the April 2022 NPA does not purport to be complete and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the full text of the April 2022 NPA (including the form of note), a copy of which is filed as Exhibit 10.2 to this report and incorporated herein by reference.
