SOLID OPERATING RESULTS

GUIDANCE UPDATE FOR 2016
"We anticipate ending the year with meaningful outperformance in operations and a significant decrease in capital expenditures, which in turn will offset peso devaluation in AFFO," said Jorge Girault, senior vice president, Finance, Prologis Property Mexico. "Additionally, we are revising our FFO to reflect the negative impact of debt mark-to-market that resulted from the refinancing a portion of the debt assumed at IPO. This non-cash adjustment has no impact on our AFFO or distributions."
