Item 2.02. Results of Operations and Financial Condition.
On October 20, 2004, First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the Company) issued a press release announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004 and certain other information.
Attached and incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.1 is a copy of the Companys press release dated October 20, 2004, announcing its financial results for the fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2004.
On October 21, 2004, the Company will hold an investor conference and webcast at 11:00 a.m. Eastern time to disclose and discuss the financial results for the third fiscal quarter of 2004.
The information furnished in this report under this Item 2.02, including the Exhibit attached hereto, shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, nor shall it be deemed incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, except as shall be expressly set forth by specific reference to such filing.
Item 4.02(a). Non-Reliance on Previously Issued Financial Statements or a Related Audit Report or Completed Interim Review.
On October 20, 2004, management and the audit committee of the Company, determined that the financial statements for the quarter ended June 30, 2004 filed on Form 10-Q should no longer be relied upon because of an error in such financial statements relating to depreciation expense and that such financial statements would be restated to make the necessary accounting adjustments.
As a result of its own internal control procedures, the Company determined that approximately $1.1 million of additional depreciation expense ($1.0 million net of minority interest) relating to certain properties should have been recorded in the second quarter of 2004. The Company has recognized this additional depreciation expense in its results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. If the Company had recorded this additional depreciation expense in the second quarter of 2004, net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2004 would have been $14.1 million, compared to $15.1 million, as reported. On a per share basis, basic and diluted net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2004 would have been $0.35 and $0.35, respectively, compared to $0.37 and $0.37, respectively, as reported. Net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2004 would have been $37.1 million, compared to $38.1 million, as reported. On a per share basis, basic and diluted net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2004 would have been $0.93 and $0.92, respectively, compared to $0.95 and $0.94, respectively, as reported.
Management and the audit committee of the Company discussed with its independent auditors, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP, the matters disclosed in this filing pursuant to Item 4.02(a) of Form 8-K.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST
REPORTS THIRD QUARTER RESULTS
| Restates Second Quarter 2004 Results to Reflect $1.1 Million of Additional Depreciation Expense (No Impact to FFO and $0.02 Reduction in EPS) |
| Increased Occupancy 90 Basis Points, Sixth Consecutive Quarterly Increase |
| Occupancy Increased in 75 Percent of the Companys Regional Portfolios |
| $259 Million of Acquisitions and Build-to-Suits Now Under Agreement |
| Investments Totaled $146 Million, Sales Totaled $69 Million |
CHICAGO, October 20, 2004 First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (NYSE: FR), the nations largest provider of diversified industrial real estate, today announced results for the quarter ended September 30, 2004. Diluted earnings per share, including income from discontinued operations and before extraordinary items (EPS), was $0.82 compared to $0.66 per share for the same quarter in 2003, an increase of 24.2 percent. Earnings in the quarter were $33.5 million compared to $25.7 million for the same quarter in 2003, an increase of 30.8 percent. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, EPS decreased 2.8 percent to $1.75 from $1.80.
As a result of its own internal control procedures, the Company determined that approximately $1.1 million of additional depreciation expense ($1.0 million net of minority interest) relating to certain properties should have been recorded in the second quarter of 2004. The Company has recognized this additional depreciation expense in its results of operations for the nine months ended September 30, 2004. If the Company had recorded this additional depreciation expense in the second quarter of 2004, net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2004 would have been $14.1 million, compared to $15.1 million as reported. On a per share basis, basic and diluted net income available to common stockholders for the three months ended June 30, 2004 would have been $0.35 and $0.35, respectively, compared to $0.37 and $0.37, respectively, as reported. Net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2004 would have been $37.1 million, compared to $38.1 million, as reported. On a per share

basis, basic and diluted net income available to common stockholders for the six months ended June 30, 2004 would have been $0.93 and $0.92, respectively, compared to $0.95 and $0.94, respectively, as reported. The timing of reporting this additional depreciation expense does not impact the Companys reported funds from operations (FFO), as FFO adds back real estate related depreciation to net income available to common stockholders. The Company will restate the financial statements in its second quarter Form 10-Q to reflect the effects of this additional depreciation expense.
Earnings results for the nine months ended September 30, 2004, have been adjusted to comply with the Securities and Exchange Commissions July 31, 2003 clarification on Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract, Topic No. D-42, (EITF D-42), The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock. Accordingly, during the nine months ended September 30, 2004, the Company incurred a non-cash earnings charge and FFO charge of approximately $8.0 million, or $0.17 per diluted share/unit, resulting from the write off of the initial offering costs associated with the issuance of its Series D Preferred Shares, Series E Preferred Shares and Series H Preferred Shares.
The industrial real estate environment continues to benefit from growth in business spending and growth in inventories, as demonstrated by increases in space absorption and decreases in vacancy, said Mike Brennan, president and chief executive officer. The operating environment is improving in many respects and the outlook for our business continues to strengthen.
A summary of the Companys portfolio and investment performance, solid financial position and capital markets highlights is listed below:
Portfolio Performance
| Leased 6.7 million square feet during the quarter and 17.3 million square feet year-to-date. |
| Increased occupancy to 89.5% at quarter end, a 90 basis-point improvement over second quarter. |
| Retained 69.2% of tenants during the quarter, an improvement over second quarter. |
| Same property net operating income (NOI) improved to -0.6% for the quarter. |
We have reached a point in the cycle where demand for industrial space is getting stronger, said David Draft, executive vice president of operations. We increased our occupancy 180 basis points since the third quarter of 2003 and the demand has been broad-based.
Investment Performance

Solid Financial Position
| Fixed-charge coverage improved to 3.1 times and interest coverage improved to 3.4 times. |
| Unencumbered assets represented 96.4% of total assets at quarter end. |

| Raised $49 million of new capital through the sale of common stock. |
We have further strengthened our financial position this year, lowering our cost of capital and maintaining our financial flexibility through the refinancing of several preferred and debt issues, said Mike Havala, chief financial officer. We are excited about the new opportunities we expect to see as a result of the new joint ventures that we are working on.

Supplemental Reporting Measure
FFO per share/unit increased 35.6 percent to $1.22 on a diluted basis, compared
to $0.90 per share/unit on a diluted basis for the same quarter in 2003. FFO
increased 41.2 percent to $57.5 million, compared to $40.7 million for the
third quarter in 2003. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, FFO per
share/unit increased 6.3 percent to $2.70 on a diluted basis, compared to $2.54
per share/unit on a diluted basis for the nine months ended September 30, 2003.
For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, FFO increased 10.0 percent to
$126.9 million, compared to $115.4 million for the nine months ended September
30, 2003. First Industrial defines FFO as net income available to common
stockholders, plus depreciation and amortization of real estate, minus
accumulated depreciation and amortization on real estate sold.
Outlook for 2004 and 2005
The broad economic factors that affect our business have been clearly positive
and appear to be poised for further improvement, Brennan continued. Business
spending increases, higher plant capacity utilization, and a continuing
positive ISM manufacturing index should support and accelerate the demand for
industrial space.
We are narrowing our full-year 2004 EPS range to between $2.05 and $2.15. This estimate assumes flat to slightly negative same property NOI growth in the fourth quarter. Sales volume in 2004 is assumed to be approximately $400 million to $500 million with an 8.0% to 9.0% average cap rate, with book gains from property sales/fees of between $123 million and $128 million. Investment volume assumptions for 2004, which include both new developments and acquisitions, are approximately $475 million to $575 million with an 8.5% to 9.5% average cap rate. We estimate full-year 2004 FFO per share/unit in the range of $3.35 to $3.45, with fourth quarter 2004 FFO per share/unit in the range of $0.65 to $0.75. Our assumption for net economic gains for 2004 is between $88 million and $93 million.

Brennan added, We are initiating our guidance for full-year 2005 with an estimated EPS range of between $1.75 and $1.95. This estimate assumes slightly positive same property NOI growth in 2005. Sales volume in 2005 is assumed to be approximately $500 million to $600 million with a 8.0% to 9.0% average cap rate, with book gains from property sales/fees of between $105 million and $115 million. Investment volume assumptions for 2005, which include both new developments and acquisitions, are approximately $550 million to $650 million with a 8.5% to 9.5% average cap rate. We estimate full-year 2005 FFO per share/unit in the range of $3.40 and $3.60, with first quarter 2005 FFO per share/unit in the range of $0.65 to $0.75. Our assumption for net economic gains for 2005 is between $80 million and $90 million.

Brennan continued, A number of factors could impact our ability to deliver results in line with our assumptions, such as interest rates, the overall economy, the supply and demand of industrial real estate, the timing and yields for divestment and investment, and numerous other variables. There can be no assurance that First Industrial can achieve such results for 2004 or 2005. However, I believe that First Industrial has the proper strategic and tactical design to deliver such results. We believe our I-N-D-L infrastructure with its offensive and defensive characteristics will continue to support our efforts and prove its value.

a) | In March 2004, the Company entered into an interest rate protection agreement which fixed the interest rate on a forecasted offering of unsecured debt which it designated as a cash flow hedge. This interest rate protection agreement had a notional value of $73,500, was effective from August 15, 2004 through August 15, 2009, and fixed the LIBOR swap rate at 3.326%. In May 2004, the Company reduced the projected amount of the future debt offering and settled $24,500 of this interest rate protection agreement for proceeds in the amount of $1,450. | |||
b) | Represents the Companys share of net income, depreciation and amortization of real estate and accumulated depreciation and amortization on real estate sold from the Companys joint ventures in which it owns minority equity interests. | |||
c) | In August 2001, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 144 Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets (FAS 144). FAS 144 requires that the operations and gain (loss) on sale of qualifying properties sold and properties that were classified as held for sale be presented in discontinued operations. FAS 144 also requires that prior periods be restated. | |||
d) | In accordance with the Securities and Exchange Commissions July 31, 2003 clarification on Emerging Issues Task Force Abstract, Topic No. D-42, The Effect on the Calculation of Earnings per Share for the Redemption or Induced Conversion of Preferred Stock, the Company recognized a charge during the nine months ended September 30, 2004 from the redemption of its Series D, E and H Preferred Stock in the amount of $7,959, which represents the write-off of initial offering costs associated with the original issuances. | |||
e) | Investors in and analysts following the real estate industry utilize FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD, variously defined, as supplemental performance measures. While the Company believes net income available to common stockholders, as defined by GAAP, is the most appropriate measure, it considers FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD, given their wide use by and relevance to investors and analysts, appropriate supplemental performance measures. FFO, reflecting the assumption that real estate asset values rise or fall with market conditions, principally adjusts for the effects of GAAP depreciation and amortization of real estate assets. NOI provides a measure of rental operations, and does not factor in depreciation and amortization and non-property specific expenses such as general and administrative expenses. EBITDA provides a tool to further evaluate the ability to incur and service debt and to fund dividends and other cash needs. FAD provides a tool to further evaluate the ability to fund dividends. In addition, FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD are commonly used in various ratios, pricing multiples/yields and returns and valuation calculations used to measure financial position, performance and value. | |||
The Company calculates FFO to be equal to net income available to common stockholders, plus depreciation and amortization on real estate, minus accumulated depreciation and amortization on real estate sold. | ||||
NOI is defined as revenues of the Company, minus property expenses such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other expenses. NOI includes NOI from discontinued operations. | ||||
EBITDA is defined as NOI, plus the equity in FFO of the Companys joint ventures, which are accounted for under the equity method of accounting, plus Net Economic Gains (Losses), minus general and administrative expenses. Net Economic Gains/Losses are calculated by subtracting from gain on sale of real estate (calculated in accordance with GAAP, including gains on sale of real estate classified as discontinued operations) the recapture of accumulated depreciation and amortization on real estate sold. EBITDA includes EBITDA from discontinued operations. | ||||
FAD is defined as EBITDA, minus GAAP interest expense, minus preferred stock dividends, minus preferred stock redemption costs, minus straight-line rental income, plus restricted stock amortization, minus non-incremental capital expenditures. Non-incremental capital expenditures are building improvements and leasing costs required to maintain current revenues. | ||||
FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD do not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and are not necessarily indicative of cash available to fund cash needs, including the repayment of principal on debt and payment of dividends and distributions. FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD should not be considered as substitutes for net income available to common stockholders (calculated in accordance with GAAP), as a measure of results of operations, or cash flows (calculated in accordance with GAAP) as a measure of liquidity. FFO, NOI, EBITDA and FAD, as calculated by the Company, may not be comparable to similarly titled, but variously calculated, measures of other REITs or to the definition of FFO published by NAREIT. | ||||
f) | Included in net economic gains and losses for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2004 is economic gain in the amount of $32,698 from the sale of one of the Companys joint ventures. |
