FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

 

 

Prologis Reports Fourth Quarter and Full Year 2019 Earnings Results

 

SAN FRANCISCO January 22, 2020 – Prologis, Inc. (NYSE: PLD), the global leader in logistics real estate, reported results for the fourth quarter of 2019.

 

Net earnings per diluted share was $0.61 for the quarter and $2.46 for the year compared with $0.94 and $2.87 for the same periods in 2018.

 

Core funds from operations (Core FFO)* per diluted share was $0.84 for the quarter, including $0.02 of net promote income, compared with $0.80 for the same period in 2018, which included $0.05 of net promote income. For the full year 2019, Core FFO was $3.31 compared with $3.03 for the same period in 2018. Further, Core FFO for full-year periods 2019 and 2018 included net promote income of $0.18 and $0.14, respectively.

 

“Our fourth quarter results represent the culmination of Vision 2019, our three-year strategic plan, and our cumulative earnings growth surpassed our expectations materially. We set several new high-water marks for performance and this success is a testament to the strength of our team and global portfolio," said Hamid R. Moghadam, chairman and CEO, Prologis. “We delivered double-digit rent change and record value creation from development, as well as record promotes from our co-investment ventures. Additionally in 2019, we raised $6.5 billion in our Strategic Capital business, our largest third-party capital raise ever.”

 

Moghadam continued, “The integration of the IPT acquisition is effectively complete and we are making great progress towards closing Liberty. We have built an enterprise that enables us to execute on major transactions while delivering sector-leading results.”

BALANCE SHEET STRENGTH

During the year, Prologis and its co-investment ventures issued $10.5 billion of debt at a weighted average interest rate of 1.7% and a weighted average term of approximately 8 years. The company ended the fourth quarter with leverage of 18.3 percent on a market capitalization basis, debt-to-adjusted EBITDA* of 4.0x and $4.8 billion of liquidity.

 

“We had another strong year with annual growth in Core FFO of approximately 10%, excluding promotes,” said Thomas S. Olinger, chief financial officer, Prologis. “I feel even better about our outlook given the acceleration in operating metrics from our substantial embedded rent upside. Furthermore, our well-located land bank, significant balance sheet capacity and the initiatives we have put into place to create value beyond our real estate—customer experience, innovation and data analytics—underpin our core portfolio and bring an even greater degree of durability to our long-term growth profile.”

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 2020 relates predominantly to these items. Please refer to our fourth 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.

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; and (x) 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.
