EXPLANATORY NOTE
This report combines the Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the period ended September 30, 2025 of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., a Maryland corporation (the "Company"), and First Industrial, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership (the "Operating Partnership"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including the Operating Partnership and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The Company is a real estate investment trust and the general partner of the Operating Partnership. At September 30, 2025, the Company owned an approximate 97.0% common general partnership interest in the Operating Partnership. The remaining approximate 3.0% common limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership are owned by limited partners. The limited partners of the Operating Partnership primarily include persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for limited partnership interests in the Operating Partnership and recipients of RLP Units (as defined in Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements) of the Operating Partnership pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan. As the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, the Company exercises exclusive and complete discretion over the Operating Partnership's day-to-day management and control and can cause it to enter into certain major transactions, including acquisitions, dispositions and refinancings. The management of the Company consists of the same members as the management of the Operating Partnership.
The Company and the Operating Partnership are managed and operated as one enterprise. The financial results of the Operating Partnership are consolidated into the financial statements of the Company. The Company has no significant assets other than its investment in the Operating Partnership. Substantially all of the Company's assets are held by, and its operations are conducted through, the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Therefore, the assets and liabilities of the Company and the Operating Partnership are substantially the same.
We believe it is important to understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership in the context of how the Company and the Operating Partnership operate as an interrelated, consolidated company. The main areas of difference between the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and those of the Operating Partnership are:
•Equity, Noncontrolling Interest and Partners' Capital. The 3.0% equity interest in the Operating Partnership held by persons or entities other than the Company is classified as limited partners units in the Operating Partnership's financial statements and as a noncontrolling interest in the Company's financial statements.
•Relationship to Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company's operations are primarily conducted through the Operating Partnership and its subsidiaries. Additionally, several other limited partnerships, referred to as the "Other Real Estate Partnerships," also contribute to operations. In each of these partnerships, the Operating Partnership is a limited partner, holding at least a 99% interest, while the Company acts as general partner, holding at least a .01% interest, held through several separate wholly-owned corporations. The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities consolidated by both the Company and the Operating Partnership. The Company's direct general partnership interests in the Other Real Estate Partnerships are reflected as noncontrolling interests within the Operating Partnership's financial statements.
•Relationship to Service Subsidiary. The Company has a direct wholly-owned subsidiary that does not own any real estate but provides services to various entities owned by the Company. Since the Operating Partnership does not hold an ownership interest in this entity, its operations are reflected in the consolidated results of the Company but not in those of the Operating Partnership. Also, this entity has outstanding obligations to the Operating Partnership, which are recorded as a receivable on the Operating Partnership's balance sheet but is eliminated on the Company's Consolidated Balance Sheet, since both this entity and the Operating Partnership are fully consolidated by the Company.
We believe combining the Company's and Operating Partnership's quarterly reports into this single report results in the following benefits:
•enhances investors' understanding of the Company and the Operating Partnership by enabling them to view the business as a whole and in the same manner as management views and operates the business;
•creates time and cost efficiencies through the preparation of one combined report instead of two separate reports; and
•eliminates duplicative disclosures and provides a more streamlined and readable presentation since a substantial portion of the Company's disclosure applies to both the Company and the Operating Partnership.
To help investors understand the differences between the Company and the Operating Partnership, this report provides the following disclosures for each of the Company and the Operating Partnership:
•Consolidated Financial Statements;
•a single set of consolidated notes to such financial statements that includes separate discussions of each entity's equity or partners' capital, as applicable; and
•a combined Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations section that includes distinct information related to each entity.
This report also includes separate Part I, Item 4, Controls and Procedures sections and separate Exhibit 31 and 32 certifications for the Company and the Operating Partnership in order to establish that the requisite certifications have been made and that the Company and the Operating Partnership are both compliant with Rule 13a-15 and Rule 15d-15 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, and 18 U.S.C. §1350.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC. AND FIRST INDUSTRIAL, L.P.
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited; dollars in thousands, except per share and Unit data)
1. Organization
First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the "Company") is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops and redevelops industrial real estate. The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). Unless stated otherwise or the context otherwise requires, the terms "we," "our" and "us" refer to the Company and its subsidiaries, including its operating partnership, First Industrial, L.P. (the "Operating Partnership"), and its consolidated subsidiaries.
We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner (the "General Partner"), with an approximate 97.0 % ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at September 30, 2025. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through several other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99 % limited partnership interest in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, wholly-owned by the Company, each with at least a .01 % general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100 % ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company's noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 3.0 % at September 30, 2025 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units"). The limited partners of the Operating Partnership are persons or entities who contributed their direct or indirect interests in properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for common Limited Partner Units of the Operating Partnership and/or recipients of RLP Units of the Operating Partnership (see Note 6) pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan.
Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own an equity interest in a joint venture (the "Joint Venture"). We also provide various services to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of the Joint Venture is not consolidated with that of the Company or the Operating Partnership as presented herein. See Note 5 for more information related to the Joint Venture.
Profits, losses and distributions of the Operating Partnership, the LLCs, the Other Real Estate Partnerships, the TRSs and the Joint Venture are allocated to the general partner and the limited partners, the members or the shareholders, as applicable, of such entities in accordance with the provisions contained within their respective organizational documents.
As of September 30, 2025, we owned 417 industrial properties located in 19 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 69.5 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 417 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.

2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Basis of Presentation
Use of Estimates
In order to conform with GAAP, in preparation of our Consolidated Financial Statements we are required to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. Actual results could differ from those estimates. In our opinion, the accompanying unaudited interim Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of our financial position as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the results of our operations and comprehensive income for each of the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and our cash flows for each of the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature.
Segment Reporting
Management views the Company as operating within a single business segment. The Chief Operating Decision Maker ("CODM") uses consolidated net income as the primary measure to assess overall company performance and to allocate resources. Consolidated net income is presented in our Consolidated Financial Statements and provides a comprehensive view of the Company's financial performance, including both property and non-property financial results. The CODM reviews significant expenses associated with the Company's single operating segment, including property-related and corporate-level costs, which are presented in our Consolidated Statements of Operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2023, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") 2023-09, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Improvements to Income Tax Disclosures" ("ASU 2023-09"). ASU 2023-09 requires enhanced income tax disclosures, primarily through standardization and disaggregation of rate reconciliation categories and income taxes paid by jurisdiction. ASU 2023-09 is effective for annual periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and should be applied either prospectively or retrospectively. We are currently evaluating ASU 2023-09 to determine its impact on our disclosures.
In November 2024, the FASB issued ASU 2024-03, "Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses" ("ASU 2024-03"). ASU 2024-03 requires enhanced disclosures regarding income statement expenses, including disaggregation of significant categories such as depreciation and amortization of real estate assets, property operating expenses and employee compensation, within relevant expense captions presented in the income statement. ASU 2024-03 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2026. We are currently evaluating ASU 2024-03 to determine its impact on our financial statement disclosures.

3. Investment in Real Estate
Acquisitions
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we acquired two industrial properties totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet of GLA from the Joint Venture (see Note 5), as well as two land parcels from a third-party seller. We accounted for the properties and land parcels as asset acquisitions, with related transaction costs capitalized to the respective asset bases. The following table summarizes the allocation of the aggregate purchase price, excluding transaction costs, to the major asset classes for the industrial properties and land parcels acquired during the nine months ended September 30, 2025:

_______________
(A) The interest rate at September 30, 2025 includes the impact of derivative instruments which effectively convert the variable rate of the debt to a fixed rate. See Note 10.
(B) During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we consummated our exercise of the first one-year extension option, which extends the maturity date to August 12, 2026. At our option, we may extend the maturity pursuant to an additional one-year extension option, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.
(C) At our option, we may extend the maturity date pursuant to two one-year extension options, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions.
Mortgage Loan Payable
As of September 30, 2025, the mortgage loan payable is collateralized by industrial properties with a net carrying value of $29,603 . We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to our mortgage loan as of September 30, 2025.
20
Senior Unsecured Notes, Net
On May 14, 2025, we issued $450,000 of senior unsecured notes due January 15, 2031 (the “2031 Notes”). The 2031 Notes bear interest at a fixed rate of 5.25 % per annum, payable semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2026. The notes were issued at 99.265 % of par, resulting in an original issue discount that will be amortized as an adjustment to interest expense. In anticipation of the issuance, we entered into two five-year treasury lock agreements (the "2030 Treasury Locks") to hedge the interest rate risk associated with the 2031 Notes. We settled the 2030 Treasury Locks on May 13, 2025 for a payment of $250 , which was recorded in other comprehensive income and will be amortized to interest expense over a five-year period. Taking into account the original issue discount and the settlement amount of the 2030 Treasury Locks, the effective interest rate on the 2031 Notes is 5.41 %. The 2031 Notes include customary covenants, including, but not limited to, limitations on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and requirements to maintain specified debt service coverage ratios.
Unsecured Term Loans, Net
On March 18, 2025, we amended and restated our existing $200,000 unsecured term loan (as amended and restated, the "2025 Unsecured Term Loan"). The 2025 Unsecured Term Loan matures on March 17, 2028 , and includes two optional one-year extensions, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. The 2025 Unsecured Term Loan provides for interest-only payments during the term and bears interest at a variable rate based on SOFR, plus a 10 basis point SOFR adjustment and a credit spread of 85 basis points based on our current credit ratings and consolidated leverage ratio. We have interest rate swaps outstanding with a notional value of $200,000 that fix the SOFR rate component at 0.90 % at September 30, 2025 and mature on February 2, 2026 . The all-in interest rate at September 30, 2025 is 1.85 %. See Note 10 for additional information. The 2025 Unsecured Term Loan may be increased, at our request and subject to willingness of existing or new lenders to fund such increase and other customary conditions, to a maximum of $460,000 .
Unsecured Credit Facility
On March 18, 2025, we amended and restated our existing $750,000 revolving credit agreement, increasing the total capacity to $850,000 (as amended and restated, the "Unsecured Credit Facility"). The Unsecured Credit Facility matures on March 16, 2029 , and includes two optional six-month extensions, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions. At September 30, 2025, borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility bear interest at a variable rate based on SOFR, plus a credit spread of 77.5 basis points based on our current credit ratings and consolidated leverage ratio, and requires us to pay a facility fee of 15 basis points. The Unsecured Credit Facility provides for interest-only payments during the term and may be increased, at our request and subject to the willingness of existing or new lenders to fund such increase and other customary conditions, to a maximum of $1,000,000 .
Indebtedness
The following is a schedule of the stated maturities and scheduled principal payments of our indebtedness, exclusive of discounts, debt issuance costs and the impact of extension options, for the next five years as of September 30, and thereafter:
| Amount | |||||
Remainder of 2025 | $ | ||||

| Total | $ | ||||
Our Unsecured Credit Facility, unsecured term loans, senior notes issued in private placements ("Private Placement Notes") and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain financial covenants. These include, among others, restrictions on the incurrence of additional indebtedness and requirements related to debt service coverage ratios. Under the terms of the Unsecured Credit Facility and unsecured term loans, an event of default can occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred, which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreements. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants under the Unsecured Credit Facility, the unsecured term loans, the Private Placement Notes and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes as of September 30, 2025. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our lenders and noteholders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.
21
Fair Value
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fair value of our indebtedness was as follows:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||||||||||||||||||||
Carrying Amount (A) | Fair Value | Carrying Amount (A) | Fair Value | ||||||||||||||||||||
| Mortgage Loan Payable | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
| Senior Unsecured Notes, Net | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Unsecured Term Loans | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Unsecured Credit Facility | |||||||||||||||||||||||
| Total | $ | $ | $ | $ | |||||||||||||||||||
_______________
(A) The carrying amounts include unamortized discounts and exclude unamortized debt issuance costs.
The fair value of our mortgage loan payable was determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans with comparable remaining maturities would be issued. These rates were internally estimated. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes was determined based on current rates as advised by our bankers. These rates were based upon recent trades within the same series of the senior unsecured notes, trades for senior unsecured notes with comparable maturities, trades for fixed rate unsecured notes from companies with profiles similar to ours, as well as overall economic conditions. For the Unsecured Credit Facility and the unsecured term loans, the fair value was calculated by discounting future cash flows using current rates, as advised by our bankers, reflecting rates at which loans with similar terms and credit ratings would be issued, assuming no repayment before maturity. We concluded that our fair value determination for our mortgage loan payable, senior unsecured notes, unsecured term loans and Unsecured Credit Facility primarily relied on Level 3 inputs.
5. Variable Interest Entities
Other Real Estate Partnerships
The Other Real Estate Partnerships are variable interest entities ("VIEs") of the Operating Partnership and the Operating Partnership is the primary beneficiary, thus causing the Other Real Estate Partnerships to be consolidated by the Operating Partnership. In addition, the Operating Partnership is a VIE of the Company and the Company is the primary beneficiary.
The following table summarizes the assets and liabilities of the Other Real Estate Partnerships, as reflected in our Consolidated Balance Sheets. All amounts are shown net of intercompany eliminations:

Joint Venture
The Joint Venture was formed for the purpose of developing, leasing, operating and selling land located in the Phoenix, Arizona metropolitan area. We hold our Joint Venture interest through a consolidated partnership (the "Joint Venture Partnership") in which we hold an 88 % interest and in which a third-party partner holds the remaining 12 % interest. As we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Joint Venture Partnership, we consolidate the Joint Venture Partnership and reflect our partner's share as Noncontrolling Interest (see Note 6). The Joint Venture Partnership holds a 49 % interest in the unconsolidated Joint Venture, which we account for under the equity method of accounting. Excluding the minority interest holder's share, we own a 43 % interest in the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture Partnership is held through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership.
Under the operating agreement for the Joint Venture, we act as the managing member and are entitled to receive fees for providing management, leasing, development, construction supervision, disposition and asset management services. In addition, we may earn incentive fees based on the ultimate financial performance of the Joint Venture.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we earned fees of $1,233 and $2,113 , respectively, from the Joint Venture, related to asset management, property management, leasing and development services we provided to the Joint Venture, of which $113 and $427 , respectively, were deferred due to our economic interest in the Joint Venture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we incurred $524 and $1,005 , respectively, in fees paid for third-party development, property management and leasing services associated with the Joint Venture. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, we had outstanding receivables from the Joint Venture of $252 and $364 , respectively.
During the year ended December 31, 2024, the Joint Venture substantially completed development of three buildings, (collectively the “Project”): Building A (approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA), Building B (approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA) and Building C (approximately 1.0 million square feet of GLA). During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we purchased Buildings A and B from the Joint Venture (see Note 3).
Net income of the Joint Venture for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 was $40,348 and $4,581 , respectively. The net income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 includes a gain on sale of $40,266 , of which $39,591 related to the sales of Buildings A and B. Our economic share of the gain on sale related to the sales of Buildings A and B for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 was $17,072 . However, as we acquired Buildings A and B from the Joint Venture, our share of the gain on sale was offset against the basis of the real estate acquired.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, we earned incentive fees of $8,070 and $916 , respectively, from the Joint Venture. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we offset $6,968 of incentive fees against the basis of real estate in connection with our acquisition of Buildings A and B. As such, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, $1,102 and $916 , respectively, were reflected in the Equity In Income of Joint Venture line item in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
In connection with the Project, the Joint Venture has a construction loan that matures on July 29, 2026, and has a one-year extension option, which is subject to then meeting certain financial conditions (the "Joint Venture Loan"). As of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the balance of the Joint Venture Loan is $38,392 and $131,111 , respectively, excluding $40 and $269 , respectively, of unamortized debt issuance costs.
As of September 30, 2025, we maintain an outstanding completion guarantee to the lender and our third-party joint venture partner for timely completion of the construction of Building C, as tenant improvements are not complete. We have also provided the lender with a guarantee covering typical non-recourse exceptions and an environmental indemnity. It is not possible to estimate the amount of additional costs, if any, that we may incur in connection with our completion guarantees to the third-party lender and/or our joint venture partner as well as the non-recourse exception and environmental indemnity guarantees; however, we do not expect that we will be required to make any significant payments in satisfaction of these guarantees.

6. Equity of the Company and Partners' Capital of the Operating Partnership
Noncontrolling Interest of the Company
The equity positions of various individuals and entities that contributed their properties to the Operating Partnership in exchange for Limited Partner Units, as well as the equity positions of the holders of Limited Partner Units issued in connection with the grant of restricted limited partner Units ("RLP Units") pursuant to the Company's stock incentive plan, are collectively referred to as the "Noncontrolling Interests." An RLP Unit is a class of limited partnership interest of the Operating Partnership that is structured as a "profits interest" for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is an award that is granted under our stock incentive plan (see Note 9). Generally, RLP Units entitle the holder to receive distributions from the Operating Partnership that are equivalent to the dividends and distributions that would be made with respect to the number of shares of Common Stock underlying such RLP Units, though receipt of such distributions may be delayed or made contingent on vesting. Once an RLP Unit has vested and received allocations of book income sufficient to increase the book capital account balance associated with such RLP Unit (which will initially be zero) equal to, on a per-unit basis, the book capital account balance associated with a "common" Limited Partner Unit of the Operating Partnership, it automatically becomes a common Limited Partner Unit that is convertible by the holder to one share of Common Stock or a cash equivalent, at the Company's option. Net income is allocated to the Noncontrolling Interests based on the weighted average ownership percentage during the period.
Noncontrolling Interest - Joint Venture
Our ownership interest in the Joint Venture is held through the Joint Venture Partnership with a third-party partner and we concluded that we hold the power to direct the activities that most significantly impact the economic performance of the Joint Venture Partnership. As a result, we consolidate the Joint Venture Partnership and reflect our partner's interest in the Joint Venture Partnership that invests in the Joint Venture as a Noncontrolling Interest. Our partner's share of the Joint Venture Partnership's income was $47 and $77 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $3,345 and $397 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. These amounts are reflected in the Equity in Income of Joint Venture and the Noncontrolling Interests line items in the Consolidated Statements of Operations. The Noncontrolling Interests line item in the Consolidated Balance Sheets includes our third-party partner's interest of $7,480 and $6,838 at September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, respectively.
ATM Program
On February 24, 2023, we entered into three-year distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell, from time to time, up to 16,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for up to $800,000 aggregate gross sales proceeds, through "at-the-market" offerings (the "ATM Program"). On May 8, 2025, in connection with our filing of a universal shelf registration statement on Form S-3 with the Securities and Exchange Commission and subsequent issuance of the 2031 Notes, we suspended our use of the ATM Program.
On August 21, 2025, we resumed the ATM Program by, among other things, entering into new distribution agreements with certain sales agents to sell, from time to time, up to 16,000,000 shares of the Company's common stock, for up to $800,000 aggregate gross sales proceeds, through "at-the-market" offerings under the ATM Program. Each new distribution agreement has a term expiring on May 7, 2028.
Under the terms of the ATM Program, sales are to be made through transactions that are deemed to be "at-the-market" offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange, sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or sales made through privately negotiated transactions. During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we did not issue any shares of the Company's common stock under the ATM Program.

At September 30, 2025 and 2024, participating securities for the Company included 69,105 and 93,952 , respectively, of Service Awards (see Note 9), which participate in non-forfeitable distributions. At September 30, 2025 and 2024, participating securities for the Operating Partnership included 189,493 and 261,246 , respectively, of Service Awards and certain Performance Awards (see Note 9), which participate in non-forfeitable distributions. Under the two-class method, participating security holders are allocated income, in proportion to total weighted average shares or Units outstanding, based upon the greater of net income or common stock dividends or Unit distributions declared.

9. Long-Term Compensation
Awards with Performance Measures
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, 37,435 performance units ("Performance Units") and 376,089 RLP Units ("Performance RLP Units" and, together with the Performance Units, collectively the "Performance Awards") were granted to certain employees based on performance-based criteria, which had a fair value of approximately $11,744 on the grant date as determined by a lattice-binomial option-pricing model based on a Monte Carlo simulation. A portion of each Performance Award vests based upon the total shareholder return ("TSR") of the Company's common stock compared to the TSR of the FTSE Nareit All Equity Index and the remainder vests based upon the TSR of the Company’s common stock compared to a specified group of peer industrial real estate companies. The performance period for these Performance Awards is three years . Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the applicable vesting period for the Performance Awards. At the end of the measuring period, vested Performance Units convert into shares of common stock. The participant is also entitled to dividend equivalents for shares or RLP Units issued pursuant to vested Performance Awards. The Operating Partnership issues General Partner Units to the Company in the same amounts for vested Performance Units.
Service Based Awards
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, 53,126 shares of restricted stock units ("Service Units") and 123,698 RLP Units ("Service RLP Units" and together with the Service Units, collectively the "Service Awards") were granted to certain employees and outside directors based on service-based criteria, which had an aggregate fair value of approximately $8,863 on the grant date. The fair value of the Service Awards is based on the Company's stock price on the date such awards were approved by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. The Service Awards awarded to employees were based on the prior achievement of certain corporate performance goals and generally vest ratably over three years based on continued employment. Service awards granted to outside directors vest after one year. Compensation expense is charged to earnings over the vesting periods for the Service Awards. At the end of the service period, vested Service Units convert into shares of common stock. The Operating Partnership issued restricted Unit awards to the Company in the same amount for the restricted stock units.
Retirement Eligibility
All award agreements issued underlying Performance Awards and Service Awards contain a retirement eligibility policy for employees with at least 10 years of continuous service and are at least 60 years old. For employees who meet both the age and service criteria, their awards become non-forfeitable. As such, during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we expensed 100% of the awards granted to retirement-eligible employees at the grant date, treating them as fully vested. For employees who satisfy retirement eligibility requirements during the normal vesting periods, the awards are amortized over the shorter service period.
Outstanding Performance Awards and Service Awards
We recognized $2,020 and $3,581 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $18,293 and $16,563 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, in compensation expense related to the amortization of the Service Awards and the Performance Awards. Service Award and Performance Award amortization capitalized in connection with development activities was $319 and $235 for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and $2,619 and $2,328 for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, respectively. At September 30, 2025, we had $9,698 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested Service Awards and Performance Awards. The weighted average period over which the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 0.88 years.
27
10. Derivative Instruments
Our objectives in using derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish these objectives, we primarily use derivative instruments as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Derivative instruments designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
During May 2025, in connection with the issuance of the 2031 Notes, we entered into two treasury locks with an aggregate notional value of $350,000 (the "2030 Treasury Locks") to manage our exposure to changes in the five-year U.S. Treasury rate. We paid approximately $250 to settle the 2030 Treasury Locks with our counterparties. The 2030 Treasury Locks effectively fixed the five-year U.S. Treasury rate at a weighted average of 4.12 %. We designated the 2030 Treasury Locks as cash flow hedges and the settlement payment will be amortized into interest expense over the five-year hedge period (see Note 4).
We use interest rate swaps to manage our exposure to changes in SOFR related to our unsecured term loans. All of our swaps have been designated as cash flow hedges.
We have three interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $200,000 , that fix the SOFR rate component at 0.90 % at September 30, 2025 and mature on February 2, 2026 (the "2021 Swaps"). During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into three forward-starting swaps commencing February 2, 2026, with an aggregate notional value of $200,000 that fix SOFR at 3.15 % and mature on February 1, 2029 (the "2026 Swaps").
We have eight interest rate swaps with an aggregate notional value of $425,000 that fix the SOFR rate component at 2.69 % and mature on September 30, 2027 (the "2022 Swaps").
We have seven interest rate swaps, with an aggregate notional value of $300,000 that fix the SOFR rate component at 3.93 % (the "2022 II Swaps"). $150,000 of the 2022 II Swaps' aggregate notional value matures on December 1, 2025 and the remaining $150,000 of the 2022 II Swaps' aggregate notional value matures on August 1, 2027 . During the three months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into three forward-starting swaps commencing December 1, 2025, with an aggregate notional value of $150,000 that fix SOFR at 3.19 % and mature on December 1, 2028 (the "2025 Swaps" and together with the 2021 Swaps, the 2026 Swaps, the 2022 Swaps and the 2022 II Swaps, the "Swaps").
Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain cross-default provisions, which may be triggered if we default on other indebtedness, subject to certain thresholds. As of September 30, 2025, we had not posted any collateral under these agreements and were in compliance with all contractual provisions of these agreements. In the event of a breach, we could be required to settle our obligations at the termination values within the agreements.

The following table sets forth our financial assets and liabilities related to the Swaps, which are included in the line items Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net or Accounts Payable, Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities on the Consolidated Balance Sheets and are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024:

There was no ineffectiveness recorded on the Swaps during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. See Note 7 for more information regarding our derivatives. The estimated fair value of the Swaps was determined using the market standard methodology of netting the discounted fixed cash payments and the discounted expected variable cash receipts. The variable cash receipts are based on an expectation of interest rates (forward curves) derived from observable market interest rate curves. In addition, credit valuation adjustments are incorporated in the fair value to account for potential non-performance risk, including our own non-performance risk and the respective counterparty's non-performance risk. We determined that the significant inputs used to value the Swaps fell within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy.
11. Related Party Transactions
At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the Operating Partnership had receivable balances of $9,172 and $9,225 , respectively, from a direct wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company. Additionally, see Note 5 for transactions with our joint venture.
12. Commitments and Contingencies
In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership and operation of our industrial properties. In our opinion, any liabilities that may result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or liquidity.
In conjunction with the development of industrial properties, we have entered into construction agreements with general contractors for the development of industrial properties. At September 30, 2025, we had six projects under construction, totaling approximately 0.9 million square feet of GLA. The estimated total investment for these projects as of September 30, 2025 is approximately $152,800 , of which approximately $71,000 remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that actual completion costs will not exceed the estimated amounts.
13. Subsequent Events
We have evaluated subsequent events through the date that the Consolidated Financial Statements were issued, noting none.

General
The Company is a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops and redevelops industrial real estate. The Company is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993 and a real estate investment trust ("REIT") as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the "Code"). As of September 30, 2025, we owned 417 industrial properties located in 19 states, containing an aggregate of approximately 69.5 million square feet of gross leasable area ("GLA"). Of the 417 properties owned on a consolidated basis, none of them are directly owned by the Company.
We began operations on July 1, 1994. The Company's operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which the Company is the sole general partner (the "General Partner"), with an approximate 97.0% ownership interest ("General Partner Units") at September 30, 2025. The Operating Partnership also conducts operations through several other limited partnerships (the "Other Real Estate Partnerships"), numerous limited liability companies ("LLCs") and certain taxable REIT subsidiaries ("TRSs"), the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The Operating Partnership holds at least a 99% limited partnership interest in each of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships are separate corporations, wholly-owned by the Company, each with at least a .01% general partnership interest in the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The Company does not have any significant assets or liabilities other than its investment in the Operating Partnership and its 100% ownership interest in the general partners of the Other Real Estate Partnerships. The noncontrolling interest in the Operating Partnership of approximately 3.0% at September 30, 2025 represents the aggregate partnership interest held by the limited partners thereof ("Limited Partner Units" and together with the General Partner Units, the "Units").
Through a wholly-owned TRS of the Operating Partnership, we own an equity interest in a joint venture (the "Joint Venture"). We also provide various services to the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture is accounted for under the equity method of accounting. The operating data of the Joint Venture is not consolidated with that of the Operating Partnership or the Company as presented herein.

Management's Overview
Business Objectives and Growth Plans
Our fundamental business objective is to maximize the total return to the Company's stockholders and the Operating Partnership's partners by increasing our cash flow and property values. Our long-term business growth plans include the following elements:
•Internal Growth. We seek to grow internally by: (i) increasing revenues by renewing or re-leasing spaces subject to expiring leases at higher rental levels; (ii) obtaining contractual rent escalations on our long-term leases; (iii) increasing occupancy levels at properties where vacancies exist and maintaining occupancy elsewhere; (iv) controlling and minimizing property operating expenses, general and administrative expenses and releasing costs; and (v) renovating existing properties.
•External Growth. We seek to grow externally through: (i) the development of best-in-class industrial properties and the acquisition of individual and portfolios of industrial properties, which meet our investment parameters within our 15 key logistics markets, with a primary emphasis on coastal markets; and (ii) the expansion of our existing properties.
•Portfolio Enhancement. We continually seek to upgrade our overall portfolio by making new investments and selling assets that lack strong long-term cash flow growth potential. Our focus is on 15 key logistics markets, with a primary emphasis on coastal markets, which exhibit desirable long-term growth characteristics and where developable land is relatively scarce.
Our ability to pursue our long-term growth plans is affected by market conditions and our financial condition and operating capabilities.
Business Strategies
We utilize the following strategies in connection with the operation of our business:
•Organizational Strategy. We implement a decentralized property operations strategy through the deployment of experienced regional management teams and local property managers. We provide acquisition, development and financing assistance, asset management oversight and financial reporting functions from our headquarters in Chicago, Illinois to support our regional operations. We believe the size of our portfolio enables us to realize operating efficiencies by spreading overhead among many properties and by negotiating purchasing discounts.
•Market Strategy. Our market strategy is to concentrate on 15 key logistics markets in the United States, with a primary emphasis on coastal markets. These markets have one or more of the following characteristics: (i) favorable industrial real estate fundamentals, including improving industrial demand and constrained future supply that can lead to long-term rent growth; (ii) favorable and diversified economic and business environments that should benefit from increases in distribution activity driven by growth in global trade and local consumption; (iii) population growth as it generally drives industrial demand; (iv) natural barriers to entry and scarcity of land which are key elements in delivering future rent growth; (v) sufficient size to provide ample opportunity for growth through incremental investments and support asset liquidity; and (vi) favorable governmental, regulatory and tax environments.
•Leasing and Marketing Strategy. We have an operational management strategy designed to enhance tenant satisfaction and portfolio performance. We pursue an active leasing strategy that includes broadly marketing available space, seeking to renew existing leases at higher rents while minimizing re-leasing costs and seeking leases which provide for the pass-through of property-related expenses to the tenant. Additionally, we have both local and national marketing programs that target the business and real estate brokerage communities, as well as multi-national tenants.
•Acquisition/Development Strategy. Our investment strategy is primarily focused on developing and acquiring industrial properties in 15 key logistics markets in the United States, with an emphasis on markets with a coastal orientation, through the deployment of experienced regional management teams. When evaluating potential industrial property acquisitions and developments, we consider such factors as: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the location, construction quality, functionality, condition and design of the property; (iii) the terms of tenant leases, including the potential for rent increases; (iv) the potential for economic growth and the general business, tax and regulatory environment of the area in which the property is located; (v) the occupancy and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the vicinity; (vi) competition from existing properties and the
32
potential for the construction of new properties in the area; (vii) the potential for capital appreciation of the property; (viii) the ability to improve the property's performance through renovation; and (ix) the potential for expansion of the physical layout of the property and/or the number of sites.
•Disposition Strategy. We continually evaluate local market conditions and property-related factors across all of our markets to identify assets suitable for disposition. Our focus is on selling properties with lower rent growth potential or that lack optimal functionality. The capital from these sales is generally reinvested into new assets identified, consistent with our investment strategy discussed above or otherwise used in a manner consistent with our business strategy.
•Financing Strategy. To finance acquisitions, developments and debt maturities, as market conditions permit, we may utilize a portion of proceeds from property sales, unsecured debt offerings, term loans, mortgage financings and line of credit borrowings under our $850.0 million unsecured revolving credit agreement (the "Unsecured Credit Facility"), and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities. We also evaluate joint venture arrangements as another source of capital to finance acquisitions and developments as well as manage investment exposure and allocation.

Summary of the Nine Months Ended September 30, 2025
Our operating results were strong for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, highlighted by a robust 31.6% average increase in cash rental rates on new and renewal commenced leases, tenant retention of 71.5% and quarter-end occupancy of 94.0%, demonstrating healthy demand.
As of September 30, 2025, we had six development projects underway, totaling 0.9 million square feet of GLA, with an aggregate estimated investment of approximately $152.8 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we completed several significant real estate transactions:
•We acquired two industrial properties located in our Phoenix market, totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet of GLA. These assets were purchased from our Joint Venture for an aggregate price of $120.0 million, excluding transaction costs. The purchase price is net of our economic share of gain on sale and incentive fees we earned on the sale as well as other deferred fees.
•We acquired one income-producing land parcel in our Northern California market for an aggregate purchase price of $10.6 million, excluding transaction costs.
•We acquired approximately 61.4 acres of land for development located in our Philadelphia market for an aggregate purchase price of $15.7 million, excluding transaction costs.
•We sold four industrial properties totaling approximately 0.2 million square feet of GLA and a land parcel for gross proceeds of $26.9 million.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, our key financing activities included:
•We declared first, second and third quarter cash dividends of $0.445 per common share or Unit, an increase of 20.3% over the 2024 quarterly dividend rate.
•In May, Fitch Ratings upgraded our long-term issuer default rating and underlying unsecured investments to BBB+ from BBB.
•In May, we issued $450.0 million of senior notes due January 2031, bearing a fixed weighted average coupon rate of 5.25%.
•We exercised our first one-year extension option related to our $300.0 million term loan, extending the maturity date to August 12, 2026.
•We amended our Unsecured Credit Facility to, among other changes, increase the borrowing capacity by $100.0 million to $850.0 million, eliminate the 10 basis point SOFR adjustment and extend the maturity date to March 2029, with two optional six-month extensions.
•We amended our $200.0 million term loan agreement to extend the maturity to March 2028, with two optional one-year extensions.
•We entered into forward-starting swaps with an aggregate notional value of $350.0 million to fix SOFR on our unsecured term loans, replacing expiring swaps and extending hedge coverage substantially through and, in some cases, beyond the maturity dates of our unsecured term loans, assuming extension options are exercised.
As of September 30, 2025, we had $814.8 million of available borrowing capacity under our Unsecured Credit Facility and held $36.8 million in cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash, excluding our Joint Venture partner's 6% interest, which is consolidated in our financial statements.

The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by category for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
Same Store Properties: Same store properties include those that were owned and in service prior to January 1, 2024 and remained in service through September 30, 2025. Same store properties also includes developments and redevelopments placed in service prior to January 1, 2024. A property is considered placed in service when it meets one of the following criteria: (i) acquired properties with occupancy of at least 75% at acquisition, unless we anticipate tenant move-outs within two years of ownership would reduce occupancy below 75%; (ii) acquired properties with occupancy less than 75% at acquisition are placed in service upon reaching the earlier of 90% occupancy or one year subsequent to acquisition; (iii) developments, redevelopments and acquired income-producing land parcels for which our ultimate intent is to redevelop or develop on the land parcel are placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year after construction completion; and (iv) properties acquired with occupancy greater than 75% but with anticipated move out within two years of ownership, are placed in service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or twelve months after tenant move out. Properties are moved from the same store category to the redevelopment classification when projected capital expenditures are estimated to exceed 25% of the property's undepreciated gross book value.
Acquired Properties: Acquired properties are properties that were purchased subsequent to December 31, 2023 and held as an operating property through September 30, 2025.
Sold Properties: Sold properties are properties that were disposed of subsequent to December 31, 2023.
Developments and Redevelopments: Developments and redevelopments (collectively referred to as "(Re)Developments") include properties that were either: (i) not substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2024; or (ii) not stabilized prior to January 1, 2024.
Other Revenues and Property Expenses: Other revenues are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, interest income, joint venture fees and other miscellaneous revenues. Other property expenses are derived from the operations of properties not placed in service under one of the categories discussed above, the operations of our maintenance company, vacant land expenses and other miscellaneous regional expenses.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, one industrial property, totaling approximately 0.1 million square feet of GLA, was taken out of service with the intent for future redevelopment. As a result of taking this industrial property out of service, the results of operations were reclassified from the same store property classification to the other classification.
Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition, (re)development and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.

Revenues from same store properties increased $27.2 million primarily due to increases in rental rates and tenant recoveries, partially offset by a slight decrease in occupancy. Revenues from acquired properties increased $7.8 million due to the seven industrial properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2023 totaling approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from sold properties decreased $8.7 million due to the 26 industrial properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2023 totaling approximately 1.4 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments increased $19.3 million primarily due to an increase in occupancy. Revenues from other decreased by $0.9 million due to lower interest income from cash and cash equivalents and note receivables.

Property expenses from sold properties decreased $1.9 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2023. Property expenses from (re)developments increased $2.3 million primarily due to the substantial completion of developments. Property expenses from other remained relatively unchanged.
General and administrative expense increased by $2.3 million, or 7.3%, primarily due to an increase in compensation and legal expenses during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
Joint Venture development services expense, representing payments made to a third party for property development assistance within the Joint Venture, decreased by $0.5 million, or 47.9%. This decline is attributed to a reduction in development activities by our Joint Venture during the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.

Depreciation and other amortization from same store properties remained relatively unchanged. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased $5.0 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2023. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $1.5 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2023. Depreciation and other amortization from (re)developments increased $4.1 million primarily due to an increase in depreciation and amortization related to completed developments. Depreciation from corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment and other decreased $0.6 million as certain improvements on land parcels, for which our ultimate intent is to redevelop or develop, became fully depreciated.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we recognized $17.5 million of gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of four industrial properties totaling approximately 0.2 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. For the nine months ended September 30, 2024, we recognized $93.8 million of gain on sale of real estate related to the sale of 17 industrial properties totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet of GLA.
Interest expense increased by $0.1 million, or 0.10%, primarily due to a higher weighted average debt balance of $2,368.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to $2,231.5 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, offset by a decrease in the weighted average interest rate to 4.08% for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to 4.14% for the nine months ended September 30, 2024 and an increase in capitalized interest of $3.0 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024.
Amortization of debt issuance costs increased by $0.9 million, or 34.7%, primarily due to financing costs incurred related to the amendment and restatement of the Unsecured Credit Facility, the amendment and restatement of our $200.0 million term loan and the issuance of $450.0 million of senior notes.
Equity in income of joint venture increased $0.6 million, or 20.2%, primarily due to gain on sale and incentive fees recognized in connection with the sale of two properties by the Joint Venture. As we were the purchaser of the properties, our economic share of the gain and incentive fees was offset against the basis of the real estate acquired. The remaining portion of the gain on sale and incentive fees reflects our partner’s share, which is consolidated in our financial statements. This increase is partially offset by increases in our pro-rata share of depreciation, amortization and interest expense incurred by the Joint Venture. These increases in expenses are attributable to the substantial completion of three buildings totaling 1.8 million square feet of GLA during the year ended December 31, 2024. Both periods include the 6% interest held by our partner in the Joint Venture, which is consolidated and reported in our financial statements.
Income tax provision increased $1.3 million, or 25.8%, primarily driven by our pro-rata share of gain and incentive fees recognized from the sale of real estate by the Joint Venture during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Our equity interest in the Joint Venture is held through a wholly-owned TRS.

Property expenses from other decreased $0.8 million primarily due to a decrease in real estate tax expense related to certain land parcels.
General and administrative expense decreased by $0.7 million, or 7.3%, primarily due to the accelerated recognition of equity-based compensation expense for certain tenured employees who are retirement eligible in the first quarter of 2025, compared to such expense being recognized ratably over all four quarters in 2024. This decrease is partially offset by an increase in legal expenses.
Joint Venture development services expense, representing payments made to a third party for property development assistance within the Joint Venture for both three-month periods was not significant.

(A) Net rent is the average base rent, calculated in accordance with GAAP, over the term of the lease.
(B) Straight line basis rent growth is calculated as the percentage change in net rent (including straight line rent adjustments) on a new or renewal lease compared to the net rent (also including straight line rent adjustments) of the expiring comparable lease. New leases without a prior comparable lease are excluded from this metric.
(C) The lease term is expressed in years and assumes no exercise of any renewal or extension options.
(D) Lease costs include all costs incurred or capitalized for improvements related to vacant and renewal spaces, along with leasing commissions and other capitalized transaction-related costs. Lease costs per square foot represent the total expected turnover costs for leases that commenced during the period and may not reflect actual expenditures for the period. Excludes properties with zero square footage, such as income producing land.
(E) Represents the weighted average square footage of tenants that renewed their respective leases.
The following table provides a summary of our leases that commenced during the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025, which included rent concessions during the lease term.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
At September 30, 2025, we had approximately $36.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, excluding our Joint Venture partner's share of cash that is consolidated in our financial statements. We also had $814.8 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.
We have considered our short-term liquidity needs through September 30, 2026, and assessed the adequacy of our estimated cash flows from operations and other available sources of liquidity to meet those needs. As of September 30, 2025, we have a $300.0 million unsecured term loan maturing on August 12, 2026, which includes a one-year extension option. Beyond this maturity, we believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs include funding normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, expansions, renovations and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, the minimum distributions required to maintain the Company's REIT status under the Code and distributions approved by the Company's Board of Directors. We anticipate meeting these liquidity needs primarily through cash flows provided by operating activities and proceeds from select asset dispositions. Additional sources of liquidity may include the issuance of other debt or equity securities or borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility, subject to market conditions.
We expect to meet long-term liquidity requirements (beyond September 30, 2026) such as property acquisitions, development projects, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through a combination of select asset dispositions, long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities, subject to market conditions.
Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains financial covenants that impose limitations on, among other things, the incurrence of additional indebtedness and require maintenance of certain debt service coverage ratios. Our access to borrowings under the facility may be limited if we fail to comply with these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of September 30, 2025, and we anticipate that we will remain in compliance for the next twelve months.
As of October 17, 2025, we had approximately $752.9 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility.
Our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor's, Moody's and Fitch Ratings of BBB/Stable, Baa2/Stable and BBB+/Stable, respectively. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient capital. However, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.

Changes in cash flow for the nine months ended September 30, 2025, compared to the prior year comparable period are described as follows:
Operating Activities: Cash provided by operating activities increased $63.5 million, primarily due to the following:
•increase in net operating income ("NOI") from same store properties, acquired properties and recently developed properties of $46.7 million offset by a decrease in NOI due to the disposition of real estate of $6.8 million;
•increase in distributions from our Joint Venture of $20.8 million in 2025 as compared to 2024; and
•increase in accounts payable, accrued expenses, other liabilities, rents received in advance and security deposits due to timing of cash payments; offset by:
◦increase in tenant accounts receivable, prepaid expenses and other assets due to timing of cash receipts; and
◦increase in income tax provision of $1.3 million.
Investing Activities: Cash used in investing activities increased $293.4 million, primarily due to the following:
•increase of $179.5 million related to the acquisition, development and investment in real estate activity, primarily attributed to higher acquisition volume and increased expenditures for developments under construction during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2024; and
•decrease of $110.2 million in net proceeds received from the disposition of real estate in 2025 as compared to 2024.
Financing Activities: Cash provided by financing activities was $6.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 as compared to cash used in financing activities of $196.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2024, resulting in an increase of cash provided by financing activities of $203.7 million, primarily due to the following:
•the issuance of senior unsecured notes in 2025 resulting in net proceeds of $443.8 million; offset by:
◦decrease in net borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility of $198.0 million in 2025 as compared to 2024;
◦increase in dividend and unit distributions of $27.4 million due to the Company increasing the dividend rate in 2025 as well as an increase in common shares and units outstanding; and
◦increase in financing issuance costs of $12.5 million related to the amendment and restatement of the Unsecured Credit Facility and the $200.0 million unsecured term loan, the issuance of senior unsecured notes and the extension of the $300.0 million unsecured term loan in 2025.

Market Risk
The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes "forward-looking statements" that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, as described below.
Interest Rate Risk
The following analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments that are held by us at September 30, 2025 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.
In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.
At September 30, 2025, $2,379.8 million, or 98.6%, of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt, while $33.0 million, or 1.4%, was variable rate debt. At December 31, 2024, $1,933.2 million, or 87.3%, of our total debt, excluding unamortized debt issuance costs, was fixed rate debt, while $282.0 million, or 12.7%, was variable rate debt. At September 30, 2025 and December 31, 2024, the fixed rate debt amounts include variable rate debt that has been effectively swapped to a fixed rate through the use of derivative instruments with an aggregate notional amount outstanding of $925.0 million that mitigate our exposure to our unsecured term loans' variable interest rates, which are currently based on SOFR. The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage the negative effects that increases in interest rates would have on our earnings and cash flows. We designated all of the swaps related to our unsecured term loans as cash flow hedges. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.
During the nine months ended September 30, 2025, we entered into forward-starting swaps with an aggregate notional value of $350.0 million to fix SOFR on our unsecured term loans, replacing expiring swaps and extending hedge coverage substantially through and, in some cases, beyond the maturity dates of our unsecured term loans, assuming extension options are exercised. We designated the swaps as cash flow hedges. See Note 10 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the swaps.
For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the base interest rate used to calculate the all-in interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 4 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.
Our variable rate debt is subject to risk based upon prevailing market interest rates. If the SOFR rate component relevant to our variable rate debt were to have increased 10%, we estimate that our interest expense during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 would have increased by approximately $0.7 million based on our average outstanding floating-rate debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2025. Additionally, if weighted average interest rates on our weighted average fixed rate debt during the nine months ended September 30, 2025 were to have increased by 10% due to refinancing, interest expense would have increased by approximately $6.5 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2025.
As of September 30, 2025, the estimated fair value of our debt was approximately $2,376.6 million based on our estimate of the then-current market interest rates.

Supplemental Earnings Measure
Investors in and industry analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations ("FFO") and NOI as supplemental performance measures of an equity REIT. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America ("GAAP") implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time through depreciation. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors prefer to supplement operating results that use historical cost accounting with measures such as FFO and NOI, among others. We provide information related to FFO and same store NOI ("SS NOI") both because such industry analysts are interested in such information, and because our management believes FFO and SS NOI are important performance measures. FFO and SS NOI are factors used by management in measuring our performance, including for purposes of determining the compensation of our executive officers under our 2025 incentive compensation plan.
Neither FFO nor SS NOI should be considered as a substitute for net income, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. Neither FFO nor SS NOI represents cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and neither should be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is either indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. Additionally, our method for calculating FFO and SS NOI may differ from those used by other real estate companies, limiting comparability.
Funds From Operations
The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts ("NAREIT") has recognized and defined for the real estate industry a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance, FFO, that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from net income determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO is calculated by us in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT and may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies. In accordance with the NAREIT definition of FFO, we calculate FFO to be equal to net income available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.'s common stockholders and participating securities, plus depreciation and other amortization of real estate, plus impairment of real estate, minus gain or plus loss on sale of real estate, net of any income tax provision or benefit associated with the sale of real estate. We also exclude the same adjustments from our share of net income from an unconsolidated joint venture.
Management believes that the use of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities, combined with net income (which remains the primary measure of performance), improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management believes that, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of real estate assets, impairment of real estate assets and real estate asset depreciation and amortization, investors and analysts are able to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT's activity and use these operating results for assistance in comparing these operating results between periods or to those of different companies.
The following table shows a reconciliation of net income available to common stockholders and participating securities to the calculation of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.

Same Store Net Operating Income
We consider cash basis SS NOI to be a useful non-GAAP supplemental measure of our operating performance. We believe SS NOI enhances the comparability of a company's real estate portfolio to that of other real estate companies. SS NOI reflects the results of operations of properties that were owned and placed in service prior to January 1, 2024, and remained in service through the end of the reporting period.
We define SS NOI as revenues minus property expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses. SS NOI is further adjusted to exclude the NOI of properties that are not included in the same store pool. Additionally, we exclude the impact of straight-line rent, above and below market rent amortization and lease termination fees, as we believe excluding them provides a more meaningful reflection of cash-basis rental growth and allows for a more consistent year-over-year analysis of property-level performance. SS NOI does not include depreciation and amortization, general and administrative expense, interest expense, income tax benefit and expense, equity in income or loss from joint venture, joint venture fees and joint venture development services expense.
The primary factors influencing SS NOI are occupancy levels, changes in rental rates and fluctuations in tenant recoveries. Our ability to grow SS NOI is largely dependent on our success in leasing space and recovering property operating costs from tenants under existing lease agreements.
The following table shows a reconciliation of the same store revenues and property expenses, as disclosed in the results of operations and reconciled to revenues and expenses reflected on the statements of operations, to SS NOI for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024.
