Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

(unaudited)

1. Organization and Description of Business

STAG Industrial, Inc. (the “Company”) is an industrial real estate operating company focused on the acquisition and operation of single-tenant, industrial properties throughout the United States. The Company was formed as a Maryland corporation and has elected to be treated and intends to continue to qualify as a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) under Sections 856 through 860 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Company is structured as an umbrella partnership REIT, commonly called an UPREIT, and owns substantially all of its assets and conducts substantially all of its business through its operating partnership, STAG Industrial Operating Partnership, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”). As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company owned a ~~97.8%~~97.9% and ~~98.0%~~98.1%, respectively, common equity interest in the Operating Partnership. The Company, through its wholly owned subsidiary, is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership. As used herein, the “Company” refers to STAG Industrial, Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries, ~~and partnerships,~~ including the Operating Partnership, except where context otherwise requires.

As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the Company owned ~~494~~551 industrial buildings in 3940 states with approximately ~~99.1~~110.1 million rentable square ~~feet, consisting of 414 warehouse/distribution buildings, 72 light manufacturing buildings, and 8 flex/office buildings.~~feet.

COVID-19 Pandemic

~~Currently, one of the most significant risks and uncertainties facing the~~The Company and the real estate industry generally ~~is the potential adverse effect of~~continue to face risks and uncertainties related to the ongoing public health crisis of the novel coronavirus disease (“COVID-19”) pandemic.

The Company closely monitors the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on all aspects of its business, including how the pandemic will affect its tenants and business partners. The Company did not incur significant disruptions from the COVID-19 pandemic ~~during the three months ended March 31, 2021. In addition, the Company did 0t~~or enter into any rent deferral agreements during the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021. The Company 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 is the Company foregoing its contractual rights under its lease agreements.

The Company remains unable to predict the ultimate impact that the pandemic will have on its financial condition, results of operations and cash flows due to numerous uncertainties. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic affects the Company’s operations and those of its tenants will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with confidence, including 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.

(1)Interest rate as of March 31, ~~2021.~~2022. At March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, the one-month LIBOR (“L”) was ~~0.11113%~~0.452%. The current interest rate is not adjusted to include the amortization of deferred financing fees or debt issuance costs incurred in obtaining debt or any unamortized fair market value premiums. The spread over the applicable rate for the Company’s unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans is based on the Company’s debt rating and leverage ratio, as defined in the respective loan agreements.

(2)The unsecured term loans have a stated interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 0.85%, with the exception of Unsecured Term Loan D which has a stated interest rate of one-month LIBOR plus a spread of 1.0%. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, one-month LIBOR for the Unsecured Term Loans A, D, E, F, and G was swapped to a fixed rate of 2.38%, 1.85%, 2.92%, 2.11%, and 0.28%, respectively. One-month LIBOR for the Unsecured Term Loan A will be swapped to a fixed rate of 1.30% effective April 1, 2022. One-month LIBOR for the Unsecured Term Loan G will be swapped to a fixed rate of 0.94% effective April 18, 2023.

which may be extended pursuant to 2 six-month extension options exercisable by the Company in its discretion upon advance written notice. Exercise of each six-month option is subject to the following conditions: (i) absence of a default immediately before the extension and immediately after giving effect to the ~~extension,~~extension; (ii) accuracy of representations and warranties as of the extension date (both immediately before and after the extension), as if made on the extension ~~date,~~date; and (iii) payment of a fee. Neither extension option is subject to lender consent, assuming proper notice and satisfaction of the conditions.

(5)The weighted average interest rate was calculated using the fixed interest rate swapped on the notional amount of $975.0 million of debt, and is not adjusted to include the amortization of deferred financing fees or debt issuance costs incurred in obtaining debt or any unamortized fair market value premiums or discounts.

The aggregate undrawn nominal commitment on the unsecured credit facility as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was approximately ~~$514.4~~$362.3 million, including issued letters of credit. The Company’s actual borrowing capacity at any given point in time may be less ~~and is~~or restricted to a maximum amount based on the Company’s debt covenant compliance.

Company’s indebtedness was approximately ~~$7.9~~$8.2 million and ~~$6.3~~$8.6 million as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, and is included in accounts payable, accrued expenses and other liabilities on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

The following table summarizes the costs included in interest expense related to the Company’s debt arrangements on the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020.~~2021.

Three months ended March 31,
Costs Included in Interest Expense (in thousands) 2021 2020
Amortization of deferred financing fees and debt issuance costs and fair market value premiums/discounts $ 487 $ 676
Facility, unused, and other fees $ 386 $ 364

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 Company was in compliance with all financial and other covenants as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020~~2021 related to its unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, unsecured notes, and mortgage notes. The real estate net book value of the properties that are collateral for the Company’s debt arrangements was approximately ~~$89.0~~$87.8 million and ~~$81.4~~$88.5 million at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, respectively, and is limited to senior, property-level secured debt financing arrangements.

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.

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~~to interest expense in the same periods during which the hedged transaction affects earnings.

Table of Contents

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 ~~loss~~income (loss) as ~~an increase~~a decrease to interest expense over the next 12 months.

~~Table of Contents~~

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, ~~2021~~2022 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 the~~agreements for any interest rate swaps in a net liability position by counterparty, plus accrued interest ~~for~~of 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 and~~the Company or its counterparties. However, as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 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.

9. Leases

Lessor Leases

The Company has operating leases in which it is the lessor for its rental property. Certain leases contain variable lease payments based upon changes in the Consumer Price Index (“CPI”). Billings for real estate taxes and other expenses are also considered to be variable lease payments. Certain leases contain options to renew or terminate the lease, and options for the lessee to purchase the rental property, all of which are predominately at the sole discretion of the lessee.

The following table summarizes the components of rental income ~~recognized during the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020~~ included in the accompanying Consolidated Statements of ~~Operations.~~Operations for the three months ended March 31, 2022 and 2021.

Total rental income	Total rental income	$	133,825	$	118,339		Total rental income	$	158,601	$	133,825

The Company evaluates its operating leases to determine if it is probable it will collect substantially all of the ~~lessee's~~lessee’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's~~lessee’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. During the three months ended March 31, 2020, the Company did not have any tenants under the cash basis of accounting.

As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had accrued rental income of approximately ~~$65.4~~$80.2 million and ~~$60.0~~$75.8 million, respectively, included in tenant accounts receivable on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets.

As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had approximately ~~$29.9~~$28.9 million and ~~$30.1~~$32.9 million, respectively, of total lease security deposits available in the form of existing letters of credit, which are not reflected on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company had approximately $0.7 million and $0.7 million, respectively, of lease security deposits available in cash, which are included in restricted cash on the accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheets. The Company’s remaining lease security deposits are commingled in cash and cash equivalents. These funds may be used to settle tenant accounts receivables in the event of a default under the related lease. As of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and December 31, ~~2020,~~2021, the Company’s total liability associated with these lease security deposits was

Certain Definitions

In this report:

~~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, ~~2021~~2022 (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 “SL~~“SL Rent Change” asmeans the percentage change in the average monthly base rent over the term of the lease that 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.

~~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.

Overview

We are a ~~REIT~~real 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 ~~qualify~~maintain 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 evolve~~markets, 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 ~~impacting~~impacted 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 by~~Since the ~~uncertainty regarding~~economic 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 June~~in April 2020, ~~the National Bureau of Economic Research announced that the United States entered into a recession in February 2020.

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 as~~historically 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. The~~first quarter of 2022, the Federal Reserve ~~continues to be accommodative since it completed two emergency federal funds rate cuts in March 2020~~has 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 office~~0.50% 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 have~~among 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.

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. Our~~2022, the SL Rent Change and the Cash Rent Change on New Leases and Renewal Leases in ~~our~~the 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.

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.

In our modified gross leases, we are responsible for ~~some~~certain 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 ~~costs~~expenses 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~~impacts 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, ~~2021~~2022 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 as~~greater than the rates under existing leases expiring during the period April 1, ~~2021~~2022 to March 31, ~~2022,~~2023, thereby resulting in ~~approximately the same~~an increase in revenue from the same space.

Critical Accounting Policies

See “Critical Accounting Policies” in “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2020,~~2021 for a discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates.

~~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 ~~decreased~~increased by ~~$39.7~~approximately $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 of~~from (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 of~~includes lease income and other billings as discussed below, increased by ~~$2.8~~approximately $4.2 million, or ~~2.5%~~3.3%, to ~~$112.8~~approximately $133.2 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$110.1~~approximately $129.0 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Same store lease income increased by ~~$1.0~~approximately $2.1 million, or ~~1.1%~~2.0%, to ~~$94.3~~approximately $109.4 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$93.3~~approximately $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 to~~from the execution of new leases and lease renewals with existing tenants ~~as well as~~and 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 ~~$1.7~~approximately $2.1 million, or ~~10.1%~~9.5%, to ~~$18.5~~approximately $23.8 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$16.8~~approximately $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 to~~from 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 vendors~~the 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.

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

Total same store property operating expenses increased by ~~$2.9~~approximately $1.9 million, or ~~14.9%~~7.7%, to ~~$22.0~~approximately $26.9 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to ~~$19.2~~approximately $24.9 million for the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021. 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 removal~~in insurance expense and ~~an increase of $0.6~~approximately $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 ~~11.1~~13.1 million square feet (excluding ~~one building~~eight buildings that ~~was~~were included in the Value Add Portfolio at March 31, ~~2021~~2022 or transferred from the Value Add Portfolio to the Operating Portfolio after December 31, ~~2019)~~2020), and sold 1123 buildings consisting of approximately ~~3.9~~2.9 million square ~~feet.~~feet and one land parcel. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, the buildings acquired after December 31, ~~2019~~2020 contributed approximately ~~$13.6~~$16.9 million and ~~$1.5~~$0.8 million to NOI, respectively. For the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, the buildings sold after December 31, ~~2019~~2020 contributed approximately ~~$(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 other~~Other 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~~$0.8 million to NOI for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 and ~~2020,~~2021, respectively. Additionally, there was approximately ~~$(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, ~~2021~~2022 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 ~~$8.5~~approximately $8.1 million, or ~~13.4%~~11.3%, for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 to ~~$72.0~~approximately $80.2 million compared to ~~$63.5~~approximately $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 of~~from net acquisitions. ~~Additionally,~~This increase was partially offset by a decrease in general and administrative expenses ~~increased by~~of 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.

Total Other Income (Expense)

Total other income (expense) consists of interest and other income, interest ~~expense, debt extinguishment and modification~~ expense, and gain on the sales of rental property, net. Interest expense includes interest incurred during the period as well as adjustments related to amortization of financing fees and debt issuance costs, and amortization of fair market value adjustments associated with the assumption of debt.

Additionally, interest expense increased approximately $0.5$1.9 million which ~~was~~is primarily attributable to the ~~funding~~issuance 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.

~~Table of Contents~~

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.

Table of Contents

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~~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 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.

Comparison of the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 to the three months ended March 31, ~~2020~~2021

The following table summarizes our cash flows for the three months ended March 31, ~~2021~~2022 compared to the three months ended March 31, ~~2020.~~2021.

Net cash provided by financing activities	$	74,727	$	8,020	$	66,707	831.8	%

Net cash provided by operating activities increased ~~$2.9~~approximately $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, ~~2020~~2021 and fluctuations in working capital due to the timing of payments and rental receipts.

Net cash used in investing activities increased ~~$43.5~~approximately $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 compared~~2021. The increase was primarily attributable to ~~$36.0~~the 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 $286.9~~increased 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 compared~~2021. The increase is primarily attributable to ~~$294.9~~the redemption of preferred stock with an aggregate liquidation value of $75.0 million ~~for~~during the three months ended March 31, ~~2020. The decrease is primarily attributable to a decrease of~~2021 that did not recur, as well as an increase in net proceeds received from the ~~sales~~sale of common stock of approximately ~~$151.1~~$33.5 million, during the ~~redemption~~three 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 $75.0~~approximately $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, ~~2021~~2022 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 primarily~~from 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~~primarily 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 ~~debt~~equity and ~~equity~~debt 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.

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, we have worked to ensure that we maintain adequate liquidity. On February 5, 2021 we refinanced the Unsecured Credit Facility and the Unsecured Term Loan G, as discussed in “Indebtedness Outstanding” below. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we had total immediate liquidity of approximately ~~$533.0~~$397.1 million, comprised of ~~$18.6~~$34.8 million of cash and cash equivalents and ~~$514.4~~$362.3 million of immediate availability on our unsecured credit facility. When incorporating the remaining undrawn balance available on our unsecured credit facility and the approximately $137.3 million of forward equity proceeds available to us at our option through November 16, 2021, our total liquidity as of March 31, 2021 was approximately $670.3 million, with a material amount of that liquidity comprised of cash and cash equivalents.

In addition, we require funds ~~for future~~to pay dividends to ~~be paid to~~holders of our common stock and ~~preferred stockholders and unit holders~~common units in the Operating Partnership. ~~These distributions~~Any future dividends on our common stock are voluntary ~~(at~~and declared in the sole discretion of our board of ~~directors),~~directors, subject 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~~for any reason, including to ~~fund~~use funds for other liquidity ~~requirements or for other reasons.~~requirements.

The aggregate undrawn nominal commitments on ~~the~~our unsecured credit facility and unsecured term loans as of March 31, ~~2021~~2022 was approximately ~~$514.4~~$362.3 million, including issued letters of credit. Our actual borrowing capacity at any given point in time may be less and is restricted to a maximum amount based on our debt covenant compliance.

~~Table of Contents~~

Our unsecured credit facility, unsecured term loans, unsecured notes, and mortgage notes are subject to ongoing compliance with a number of financial and other covenants. As of March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, we were in compliance with the applicable financial covenants.

On February 25, 2021, we 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 maturesSubsequent to March 31, 2022, 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. 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 remaining 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,~~April 28, 2022, we entered into ~~an amendment~~a note purchase agreement for the future private placement by the Operating Partnership of $400.0 million senior unsecured notes, maturing June 28, 2032, with a fixed annual interest rate of 4.12%. The unsecured notes are expected to be issued on or around June 28, 2022, subject to conditions. The note purchase agreement contains a number of financial covenants substantially similar to the financial covenants contained in our unsecured credit facility, ~~(the “Credit Facility Amendment”).~~plus a financial covenant that requires us to maintain a minimum interest coverage ratio of not less than 1.50:1.00. The ~~Credit Facility Amendment provides for an increase in~~Company and certain of its subsidiaries will guarantee the ~~aggregate commitments available for borrowing~~obligations 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 our debt rating, as defined in the loan agreement. In connection with the Credit Facility Amendment, we 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, we 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 our 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, we incurred approximately $1.6 million in costs which are being deferred and amortized through the new maturity date of February 5, 2026. We 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, we reversed the previously accrued extension fees of approximately $1.1 million from an 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.notes.

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 ~~three~~14 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 ~~$1,208.0~~approximately $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 ~~year~~three months ended March 31, ~~2021,~~2022, our interest expense would have increased by approximately ~~$0.6~~$1.0 million for the ~~year~~three 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, ~~2021~~2022 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, ~~2020~~2021 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 modeling~~reduced governmental spending, tax increases, public sector job losses, increased interest rates, currency devaluations, defaults on debt obligations or other adverse economic events;

•other periods of economic slowdown or recession, rising interest rates or declining demand for real estate, or the public perception that any of these events may occur;

•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);

•technological changes, such as ~~adjusting interest rate accrual calculations~~reconfiguration of supply chains, autonomous vehicles, drones, robotics, 3D printing, online marketplaces for industrial space, or other developments;

•our ability to control rental rates and ~~building a term structure~~changes in operating costs and expenses, including costs of compliance with tax, real estate, environmental and zoning laws, rules and regulations and our potential liability thereunder;

•changes in the cost or availability of insurance, including coverage for ~~an alternative rate, (vi) additional basis risk and increased volatility as alternative rates are phased~~mold or asbestos;

•unanticipated changes in ~~and utilized in parallel~~costs associated with ~~LIBOR, and (vii) adjustments to systems and mathematical models to properly process and account~~known adverse environmental conditions or retained liabilities for ~~alternative rates, which may strain the model risk management and information technology functions and result in substantial incremental costs.

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.
