As of March 31, 2020, the company owned or had investments in, on a wholly owned basis or through co-investment ventures, properties and development projects expected to total approximately 965 million square feet (90 million square meters) in 19 countries. Prologis leases modern logistics facilities to a diverse base of approximately 5,500 customers principally across two major categories: business-to-business and retail/online fulfillment. On January 8, 2020, Prologis U.S. Logistics Venture (consolidated co-investment venture) and Prologis Targeted U.S. Logistics Fund (unconsolidated co-investment venture) completed the acquisition of Industrial Property Trust (IPT) for $2.0 billion each. On February 4, 2020, Prologis completed the acquisition of Liberty Property Trust (LPT) for approximately $13.0 billion, through the issuance of equity and the assumption of debt.

Highlights * This is a non-GAAP financial measure. Please see our Notes and Definitions for further explanation. Our guidance for 2020 is based on management’s current beliefs and assumptions about our business, the industry and the markets in which we operate. COVID-19 has disrupted financial markets and global, national and local economies. Given the dynamic nature of the pandemic, it is difficult to predict the impact on our future results. Please refer to “Forward-Looking Statements” and “Risk Factors” referred to in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission for more information. The difference between Core FFO and Net Earnings predominately relates to real estate depreciation and gains or losses on real estate transactions. See the Notes and Definitions for more information.

“We entered the COVID-19 crisis in a position of financial strength,” said Thomas S. Olinger, chief financial officer, Prologis. “We have significant liquidity as well as investment capacity and our dividend is well-covered. Additionally, we have effectively addressed our consolidated maturities until 2022, we have insulated our earnings from FX movements through the next three years and more than 95 percent of our equity is in USD.”
The company ended the first quarter with $4.6 billion in liquidity, which comprises $3.8 billion in total line availability and $0.8 billion in cash. Debt as a percentage of total market capitalization was 22 percent at quarter end. At March 31, Prologis’ unconsolidated co-investment ventures had combined liquidity of approximately $3.1 billion and a loan-to-value ratio of approximately 22 percent. The combined investment capacity of Prologis and its open-ended vehicles, at levels in line with their current credit ratings, is well over $10 billion.
During the quarter, Prologis and its co-investment ventures completed $5.1 billion of debt activity at a weighted average rate of 1.9 percent and a weighted average term of more than 13 years. This activity includes the previously announced €1.35 billion green bond and the $2.2 billion of notes issued by Prologis, as well as an $800 million private placement by its co-investment venture, Prologis U.S. Logistics Fund (USLF). At quarter end, the company’s weighted average rate on its total debt was 2.3 percent with a weighted average remaining term of 9.1 years.
“While the full economic impact of the pandemic is difficult to quantify, we have analyzed numerous scenarios and have adjusted our guidance to account for a broad range of outcomes,” said Olinger. “Accordingly, we have assumed reduced demand into the third quarter and anticipate that the operating environment will begin to recover toward the end of the year.”
New deployment will be assessed on a per-transaction basis. The company’s revised guidance assumes no further activity other than the transactions currently under contract, as the company’s bias is to be patient on new capital deployment opportunities. Prologis expects to move forward with fully committed speculative development and previously negotiated build-to-suit (BTS) agreements. The company has 30 BTS projects under construction and all of the underlying customers have indicated their intention to move forward as planned.

The earnings guidance described above includes potential gains recognized from real estate transactions but excludes any foreign currency or derivative gains or losses as our guidance assumes constant foreign currency rates. In reconciling from net earnings to Core FFO*, Prologis makes certain adjustments, including but not limited to real estate depreciation and amortization expense, gains (losses) recognized from real estate transactions and early extinguishment of debt, impairment charges, deferred taxes and unrealized gains or losses on foreign currency or derivative activity. The difference between the company's Core FFO* and net earnings guidance for 2019 relates predominantly to these items. Please refer to our first quarter Supplemental Information, which is available on our Investor Relations website at http://ir.prologis.com and on the SEC’s website at www.sec.gov for a definition of Core FFO* and other non-GAAP measures used by Prologis, along with reconciliations of these items to the closest GAAP measure for our results and guidance.

management's beliefs and assumptions. Such statements involve uncertainties that could significantly impact our financial results. Words such as "expects," "anticipates," "intends," "plans," "believes," "seeks," and "estimates," including variations of such words and similar expressions, are intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature. All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or anticipate will occur in the future — including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth, development activity, contribution and disposition activity, general conditions in the geographic areas where we operate, our debt, capital structure and financial position, our ability to form new co-investment ventures and the availability of capital in existing or new co-investment ventures — are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict. Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and, therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results include, but are not limited to: (i) national, international, regional and local economic and political climates; (ii) changes in global financial markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates; (iii) increased or unanticipated competition for our properties; (iv) risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties; (v) maintenance of real estate investment trust status, tax structuring and changes in income tax laws and rates; (vi) availability of financing and capital, the levels of debt that we maintain and our credit ratings; (vii) risks related to our investments in our co-investment ventures, including our ability to establish new co-investment ventures; (viii) risks of doing business internationally, including currency risks; (ix) environmental uncertainties, including risks of natural disasters; (x) risk related to the current coronavirus pandemic, and (xi) those additional factors discussed in reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission by us under the heading "Risk Factors." We undertake no duty to update any forward-looking statements appearing in this document except as may be required by law.
