FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Prologis Reports First Quarter 2021 Earnings Results
SAN FRANCISCO (April 19, 2021) – Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD), the global leader in logistics real estate, reported results for the first quarter of 2021.
Net earnings per diluted share was $0.49 for the quarter compared with $0.70 for the first quarter of 2020; the decrease was driven by debt extinguishment costs of $187 million. Core funds from operations* per diluted share was $0.97 for the quarter compared with $0.83 for the same period in 2020.
“The robust demand from the fourth quarter has carried into 2021 and is as strong as I have seen in my career,” said Hamid R. Moghadam, chairman and CEO, Prologis. “Global supply chains are pushing to keep pace with accelerating economic activity, retooling for faster fulfillment and resilience. With our well-positioned portfolio, differentiated customer offerings and abundant investment capacity, we expect to continue to outperform while delivering exceptional customer service.”

BALANCE SHEET & LIQUIDITY
During the first quarter, Prologis and its co-investment ventures issued $3.5 billion of debt at a weighted average interest rate of 0.96 percent and a weighted average term of approximately 11 years. This activity includes $2.6 billion in global bond raises, as well as a €500 million green bond.
At March 31, 2021, debt as a percentage of total market capitalization was 18.6 percent, and the company’s weighted average interest rate on its share of total debt was 1.8 percent with a weighted average term of 10.6 years. The combined investment capacity of Prologis and its open-ended vehicles, at levels in line with their current credit ratings, is now $14 billion.
“Through just a few transactions during the first quarter, we reduced our weighted average interest rate by 20 basis points and effectively addressed our unsecured bond maturities through 2026. In addition, we built on the company’s excellent liquidity position, which collectively has set the company up well for this incredibly strong operating environment,” said Tim Arndt, treasurer, Prologis.
2021 GUIDANCE
“Given the strength of our results and the market, we are taking up our guidance metrics across the board,” said Thomas S. Olinger, chief financial officer, Prologis. “Year-over-year Core FFO growth, excluding promotes, is sector-leading at 12.0 percent at the midpoint, while generating $1.25 billion of free cash flow after dividends.”

The earnings guidance described above includes potential gains recognized from real estate transactions but excludes any future or potential 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 2021 relates predominantly to these items. Please refer to our first quarter Supplemental Information, which is available on our Investor Relations website at https://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.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
The statements in this document that are not historical facts are forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended. These forward-looking statements are based on current expectations, estimates and projections about the industry and markets in which we operate as well as 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) risks 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.
