DENVER, Feb. 3, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- ProLogis (NYSE: PLD), the leading global provider of distribution facilities, today reported funds from operations as defined by ProLogis (FFO), excluding items that affect comparability, of $0.76 per diluted share in 2010, $0.57 of which was from core operations, which excludes gains on disposition of real estate, net of taxes.  For 2009, the company reported FFO, excluding items that affect comparability, of $1.41 per diluted share, which included $0.85 from core operations.  FFO, including significant non-cash items, was negative $2.24 for 2010, compared with $0.34 for 2009.

For the fourth quarter of 2010, FFO, excluding items that affect comparability, was $0.25 per diluted share, $0.18 of which was from core operations. For the fourth quarter of 2009, FFO, excluding items that affect comparability, was $0.23 per share, which included $0.16 from core operations.  

The company reported a net loss of $2.64 per diluted share for the full year ended December 31, 2010, compared with a net loss of $0.01 per diluted share for the same period in 2009.   For the fourth quarter of 2010, the company reported a net loss per diluted share of $2.17, compared with a net loss of $0.86 in the same period of 2009. The negative FFO, including significant non-cash items, and net loss for both the quarter and year were due principally to a write down of goodwill, as well as impairment charges and loss on early extinguishment of debt, which were in line with the expected amounts communicated in December 2010.

Industrial Fundamentals Continue to Improve

“During the fourth quarter, leasing velocity in our portfolio increased more than 25 percent over the third quarter, and the overall U.S. market experienced its third straight quarter of positive growth absorption – 17 million square feet.  We continued to see good demand for build-to-suits and started $155 million of new development that was 95 percent preleased – demonstrating that many markets no longer have the high-quality space available that customers require,” said Walter C. Rakowich, chief executive officer.  For the full year, the company started 19 buildings, totaling over $656 million of expected investment, with 17 of those buildings build-to-suit or substantially pre-leased.  

“This combination of demand for new space and good leasing activity gives us confidence that the industrial recovery is taking hold. While we believe the market has turned the corner, we also appreciate that challenges remain.  We expect same store rental growth to continue to be negative in 2011 as the majority of the leases turning over will be rolling off of the high point of the cycle in 2006 and 2007.  However, we remain optimistic that the recovery we began to see in the latter half of 2010 could intensify, if consumers remain confident and inventory rebuilding continues,” add Rakowich.

The company’s total industrial operating portfolio (including completed development and the investment management portfolio) was 91.0 percent leased at the end of the quarter, up more than 100 basis points from 89.9 percent at September 30, 2010. Total leasing activity in the fourth quarter was 34.5 million square feet, bringing the full year number to over 119 million square feet, close to the 2008 peak of 121 million square feet. Leasing in the company’s static completed development portfolio ended the year at 79.7 percent, up 560 basis points from September 30, 2010.  Because this pool of properties is substantially leased, beginning in the fourth quarter, the completed development portfolio has been consolidated into the direct owned portfolio, as it is ProLogis’ intent to own the vast majority of these assets long term.  Customer retention in both the direct owned and investment management portfolios during the quarter was more than 87 percent.  In the company’s total same-store portfolio, rental rates on turnovers declined 10.5 percent, compared with an 8.5 percent decline in the third quarter of 2010. Same-store occupancy increased for the third straight quarter, up 2.1 percent, while same-store net operating income was down slightly, a negative 0.45 percent.

Completed $1.75 Billion in Dispositions and Contributions

In 2010, the company generated more than $1.75 billion in net proceeds through a combination of $1.25 billion of asset sales to third parties and $500 million of contributions to property funds and joint ventures.  The third-party asset sales were consistent with the company’s stated goal to sell assets in non-strategic markets and redeploy the proceeds into new development in major global markets, thereby further diversifying and improving the quality of its direct owned portfolio.  The majority of the assets sold to third parties were older and smaller than the characteristics of the company’s remaining direct owned portfolio.  Additionally, in December, the company announced its intent to sell certain retail, mixed-use and ground lease assets to affiliates of TPG in the first quarter of 2011.  Proceeds will be used to pay down the company’s line of credit and to fund new development.

“As market conditions have improved, we have continued to experience strong institutional demand for quality properties, allowing us to exceed our initial expectation of $1.3 to $1.5 billion of gross disposition proceeds,” said Michael S. Curless, managing director of global investments.  “We believe we will have further opportunities to prune our portfolio as we focus on strengthening our position in major global logistics corridors, although we do not anticipate portfolio sales in 2011 of the same magnitude as those completed in 2010.”

“During 2010, we took great strides toward the goal of enhancing our direct owned portfolio by retaining new development on our balance sheet and disposing of non-strategic and non-core assets.  These actions, coupled with the strengthening of our balance sheet, will allow us to focus our efforts on our core strengths – managing and developing industrial assets in the major logistics corridors around the world,” Rakowich concluded.

Strategic Financial Initiatives Achieved

“As we ended the year, we were pleased with the improved financial and operating positions we achieved in 2010,” stated William E. Sullivan, chief financial officer. “Through debt offerings early in the year, as well as asset sales and our equity raise later in the year, we were able to successfully tender for, or buy back in the open market, $3.0 billion of original principal amount of debt, to end the year with direct debt of $6.5 billion – down from $8.0 billion at the end of 2009.  We have less than $200 million in direct debt maturities in 2011, and we intend to extend our global line of credit into 2014.  Our improved financial position, coupled with the strength we saw in operating fundamentals as the year drew to a close, allowed us to exceed the top end of our expected core FFO guidance range.”

For the fourth quarter, total charges of $1.42 billion added back to arrive at core FFO included $368 million of non-cash goodwill impairments, as a result of the company's year-end review. The remaining $1.06 billion is consistent with the range of $995 million to $1.06 billion that the company pre-announced in December 2010. The $1.06 billion includes $157 million of cash charges and $893 million non-cash charges.

Guidance for 2011

ProLogis established full-year 2011 core FFO guidance of $0.62 to $0.66 per diluted share, and $0.64 to $0.70 per diluted share including gains on dispositions.  Net loss for 2011 is expected to be $0.15 to $0.20 per diluted share, primarily due to depreciation and amortization.

For 2011, the primary drivers supporting this guidance include:

  • A 150 - 200 basis point increase in total operating portfolio leasing, compared with year-end 2010;
  • Same-store net operating income growth of 1 – 3 percent;
  • Development starts of $800 million - $1 billion;  
  • Land monetization of $400 - $450 million, with approximately $200 million related to third-party sales, and $200 - $250 million monetized through development activity;  
  • Building dispositions and contributions of $650 - $750 million, including the planned sale of Catellus retail and mixed-use assets for $505 million, third-party sales and fund/JV contributions;
  • Share of FFO from property funds and other unconsolidated investees of $170 - $180 million;  
  • Management fees from property funds of $110 - $120 million; and
  • A 4 percent reduction in gross G&A expense.  Amounts reported as rental and Investment Management expenses are expected to be in line with 2010 levels, while capitalized G&A is expected to increase by 15 percent due to greater development activity.

Notes to Section II - Financial Statements

Please refer to our annual and quarterly financial statements filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Forms 10-K and 10-Q for further information about us and our business. Certain amounts from previous periods presented in the Supplemental Information have been reclassified to conform to the 2010 presentation.

Our direct owned segment represents the direct, long-term ownership of industrial properties. Our investment strategy in this segment focuses primarily on the ownership and leasing of industrial properties in key distribution markets. We consider these properties to be our Core Portfolio. Our intent is to hold and use the Core properties; however, depending on market and other conditions, we may contribute these properties to property funds or sell to third parties.  When we contribute or sell properties we have developed, we recognize FFO to the extent the proceeds received exceed our original investment (i.e. prior to depreciation) and present the results as Net Gains on Dispositions. In addition, we have industrial properties that are currently under development and land available for development that are part of this segment as well. As noted below in note 4, we have identified the land we expect to develop and land targeted for disposition.  We may develop the land or sell to third parties, depending on market conditions, customer demand and other factors. The investment management segment represents primarily the investment management of unconsolidated property funds and joint ventures and the properties they own.

(1)   During the fourth quarter of 2010, we sold a portfolio of industrial properties and several equity method investments to Blackstone Real Estate Advisors ("Blackstone") for approximately $1.02 billion resulting in a net gain for US GAAP earnings purposes based on the assets sold of $203.1 million ($66.1 million loss in continuing operations and $269.2 million gain in discontinued operations). The net gain includes current tax expense of $2.5 million ($1.6 million in continuing operations and $0.9 million in discontinued operations). The industrial portfolio included 182 properties with 23 million square feet and the equity method investments included our 20% ownership interest in three property funds (ProLogis North American Properties Fund VI-VIII) and an investment in an unconsolidated joint venture that owns a hotel property. Net proceeds were used to repay debt (as discussed below). We retained a preferred equity interest in Blackstone of approximately $188 million, which is reflected as Notes Receivable Backed by Real Estate in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet at December 31, 2010. Also included in Notes Receivable Backed by Real Estate are receivables from certain unconsolidated investees that were funded under a separate note agreement and not considered our share of a partner loan. We will earn a preferred return at an annual rate of 7 percent for the first three years, 8 percent for the fourth year and 10 percent thereafter until redeemed.  Partial or full redemption can occur at any time at Blackstone's discretion or after the five-year anniversary at our discretion.  We are continuing to provide property management services for these properties and the management fees are included as Property Management and Other Fees and Incentives in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and FFO for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010.

(2)   On December 21, 2010, we announced we entered into a definitive agreement with affiliates of TPG Capital (TPG) to sell a portfolio of U.S. retail, mixed-use and other non-core assets for approximately $505 million.

The properties, owned directly or through equity interests, to be sold in the transaction include: four shopping centers, two office buildings, 11 mixed-use projects with related land and development agreements, two residential development joint ventures, Los Angeles Union Station and certain ground leases.  The transaction is expected to be substantially completed in the first quarter of 2011, subject to customary closing conditions.

We have classified all of the assets and liabilities associated with this transaction as Assets and Liabilities Held for Sale in our accompanying Consolidated Balance Sheet as of December 31, 2010. Based on the carrying values of these assets and liabilities, as compared with the estimated sales proceeds less costs to sell, we recognized an impairment charge of $168.8 million ($91.4 million in continuing operations of which $47.1 million relates to land and is recorded in Impairment of Real Estate Properties, and $44.3 million relates to the joint ventures and other assets and is recorded in Impairment of Goodwill and Other Assets; and $77.4 million is recorded in discontinued operations as it is associated with the operating properties). See note 4 for a summary of items classified as Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations. We still own an office property and some land subject to ground leases, and we have reclassified these amounts to Other Real Estate Investments in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for all periods presented.

(3)   During 2010 and 2009, we recorded impairment charges of certain of our real estate properties and other assets as outlined below (in thousands):

The impairment charges that we recognized in 2010 and 2009 were primarily due to our change of intent to no longer hold these assets for long-term investment. During the fourth quarter of 2010, we made a strategic decision to more aggressively pursue land sales. As a result this decision, we undertook a complete evaluation of all land positions and divided them between two categories: "land held for development" and "land targeted for disposition". As a result of our change in intent, we adjusted the carrying value of the land targeted for disposition to fair value, if the carrying value exceeded fair value, based on valuations and other relevant market data. In addition for certain assets held for sale, which include operating properties, investments in unconsolidated investees and other assets, we adjusted the carrying value of these assets to the estimated sales price less costs to sell. As a result of these changes and in connection with our annual review of goodwill, we recognized an impairment charge of $368.5 million related to the goodwill allocated to our direct owned segments in the North America reporting unit and Europe reporting unit.

(4)   As discussed in note 2 above, all of the assets and liabilities associated with the TPG transaction are held for sale as of December 31, 2010 and, therefore, the impairment charge of $77.4 million relating to the operating properties is included in discontinued operations. In addition, we have nine land parcels and six operating properties that met the criteria as Held for Sale. A summary of the amounts included in Assets Held for Sale as of December 31, 2010 is as follows:

During the year ended December 31, 2010, we disposed of 205 properties aggregating 25.4 million square feet to third parties, 2 of these properties were development properties. During all of 2009, other than our China operations, we disposed of land subject to ground leases and 140 properties aggregating 14.8 million square feet to third parties, 3 of which were development properties.

The operations of the properties held for sale and properties that are disposed of to third parties during a period, including impairment charges discussed above and the aggregate net gains recognized upon their disposition, are presented as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Operations for all periods presented. The income attributable to these properties was as follows:

(5)   During the periods noted below, in connection with our announced initiatives to stagger and extend our debt maturities and reduce debt, we repurchased portions of several series of senior and convertible senior notes outstanding with maturities ranging from 2012 to 2020, including a tender offer completed in the fourth quarter of 2010, primarily with proceeds from the issuance of equity (see note 6). In addition, in the first and third quarters of 2010, we repaid certain secured mortgage debt in connection with the sale of two properties in Japan. The repurchase activity is summarized as follows (in thousands):

(a)  Although the cash purchase price is less than the principal amount outstanding, the repurchase of these notes resulted in a non-cash loss in 2010 due to the non-cash discount. Therefore, we adjusted for this non-cash loss to arrive at FFO, excluding significant non-cash items.


(b)  Represents the difference between the recorded debt (including unamortized related debt issuance costs, premiums and discounts) and the consideration we paid to retire the debt. Of the loss referred to above, the non-cash loss of $14.7 million and $30.7 million for the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, respectively, are adjusted back to arrive at FFO, excluding significant non-cash items.

(6)   On November 1, 2010, we closed on a public offering of 92 million common shares at a price of $12.30 per share and received net proceeds, after underwriters discount, of $1.1 billion. We used the proceeds to repay borrowings under our Global Line, repurchase portions of our senior notes and for general corporate purposes.

(8)   On February 9, 2009, we sold our operations in China and our property fund interests in Japan, for total cash consideration of $1.3 billion ($845 million related to China and $500 million related to the Japan investments).  

In connection with the sale of our investments in the Japan property funds, we recognized a gain of $180.2 million. The gain is reflected as CDFS Disposition Proceeds in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and FFO, as it represents previously deferred gains on the contribution of development properties to the property funds based on our ownership interest in the property funds at the time of original contribution. We also recognized $20.5 million in current income tax expense related to the Japan portion of the transaction. We continued to manage the Japan properties until July 2009 at which time we earned a termination fee of $16.3 million that is included in Property Management and Other Fees and Incentives in our Consolidated Statements of Operations and FFO.

(9)   During 2009, in response to the difficult economic climate, we initiated general and administrative expense ("G&A") reductions. These initiatives included a Reduction in Workforce ("RIF") program and reductions to other expenses through various cost savings measures. Lower gross G&A and less development activity has resulted in lower capitalized G&A. Our G&A included in our Statements of Operations consisted of the following (in thousands):

(a)  In 2010, we amended the Global Line and reduced the size of the aggregate commitments. As a result, we recognized $6.8 million and $7.7 million in interest expense related to the write-off of the associated deferred financing fees, in the three and twelve months ended December 31, 2010, respectively.

Gross interest expense increased in 2010 from 2009 due primarily to increased borrowing rates. The decrease in capitalized amounts in 2010 from 2009 is due to less development activity.

(11)   Included in Net Gains (Losses) on Dispositions of Investments in Real Estate for the three months ended December 31, 2010 is a loss of $64.6 million related to the sale of certain unconsolidated joint ventures in the Blackstone transaction (see Note 1), partially offset by gains of $27.4 million related to additional proceeds from contributions we made to PEPF II in 2009 based on valuations received as of December 31, 2010 and our contribution agreement with the property fund.

(12)   Included in Foreign Currency Exchange Gains (Losses), Net, for the year ended December 31, 2010 and 2009, are net foreign currency exchange gains or losses from the remeasurement of inter-company loans between the U.S. and our consolidated subsidiaries in Japan and Europe due to the fluctuations in the exchange rates of U.S. dollars to the yen, the euro and pound sterling between January 1st and December 31st of the applicable years. We do not include the gains and losses related to inter-company loans in our calculation of FFO.
