PART I

THE COMPANY

 

Item  1. Business

General

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. is a Maryland corporation organized on August 10, 1993, and is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). We are a self-administered and fully integrated real estate company which owns, manages, acquires, sells, develops, and redevelops industrial real estate. As of December 31, 2012, our in-service portfolio consisted of 346 light industrial properties, 108 R&D/flex properties, 150 bulk warehouse properties, 102 regional warehouse properties and eight manufacturing properties containing approximately 63.4 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”) located in 26 states in the United States and one province in Canada. Our in-service portfolio includes all properties other than developed, redeveloped and acquired properties that have not yet reached stabilized occupancy (generally defined as properties that are 90% leased). Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in-service. Acquired properties less than 75% occupied are placed in-service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year from the acquisition date. Development properties are placed in-service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year from the date construction is completed. Redevelopments (generally projects which require capital expenditures exceeding 25% of basis) are placed in-service upon the earlier of reaching 90% occupancy or one year from the completion of renovation construction.

Our interests in our properties and land parcels are held through partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies controlled, directly or indirectly, by the Company, including the Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner with an approximate 95.5% and 94.3% ownership interest at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, and through our taxable REIT subsidiaries. We also conduct operations through other partnerships and limited liability companies, the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership and the taxable REIT subsidiaries, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein.

We also own noncontrolling equity interests in, and provide services to, two joint ventures (the “2003 Net Lease Joint Venture” and the “2007 Europe Joint Venture”). During 2010, we provided various services to, and ultimately disposed of our equity interests in, five joint ventures (the “2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture,” the “2005 Core Joint Venture,” the “2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program,” the “2006 Land/Development Joint Venture” and the “2007 Canada Joint Venture;” together with the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). The Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the operating data of our Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The 2007 Europe Joint Venture does not own any properties. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Joint Ventures.

We utilize an operating approach which combines the effectiveness of decentralized, locally based property management, acquisition, sales and development functions with the cost efficiencies of centralized acquisition, sales and development support, capital markets expertise, asset management and fiscal control systems. At February 20, 2013, we had 173 employees.

Table of Contents

Business Objectives and Growth Plans

Our fundamental business objective is to maximize the total return to our stockholders through per share distributions and increases in the value of our properties and operations. Our long-term business growth plans include the following elements:

 

  •  

Internal Growth. We seek to grow internally by (i) increasing revenues by renewing or re-leasing spaces subject to expiring leases at higher rental levels; (ii) increasing occupancy levels at properties where vacancies exist and maintaining occupancy elsewhere; (iii) controlling and minimizing property operating and general and administrative expenses; and (iv) renovating existing properties.

 

  •  

External Growth. We seek to grow externally through (i) the development of industrial properties; (ii) the acquisition of portfolios of industrial properties, industrial property businesses or individual properties which meet our investment parameters within our target markets; (iii) the expansion of our properties; and (iv) possible additional joint venture investments.

Our ability to pursue our long-term growth plans is affected by market conditions and our financial condition and operating capabilities.

Business Strategies

We utilize the following six strategies in connection with the operation of our business:

 

  •  

Organization Strategy. We implement our decentralized property operations strategy through the deployment of experienced regional management teams and local property managers. We provide acquisition, development and financing assistance, asset management oversight and financial reporting functions from our headquarters in Chicago, Illinois to support our regional operations. We believe the size of our portfolio enables us to realize operating efficiencies by spreading overhead among many properties and by negotiating purchasing discounts.

 

  •  

Market Strategy. Our market strategy is to concentrate on the top industrial real estate markets in the United States. These markets have one or more of the following characteristics: (i) favorable industrial real estate fundamentals, including improving industrial demand and constrained supply that can lead to long-term rent growth; (ii) warehouse distribution markets that should benefit from increases in distribution activity driven by growth in global trade and local consumption; and (iii) sufficient size to provide ample opportunity for growth through incremental investments as well as offer asset liquidity.

 

  •  

Leasing and Marketing Strategy. We have an operational management strategy designed to enhance tenant satisfaction and portfolio performance. We pursue an active leasing strategy, which includes broadly marketing available space, seeking to renew existing leases at higher rents per square foot and seeking leases which provide for the pass-through of property-related expenses to the tenant. We also have local and national marketing programs which focus on the business and real estate brokerage communities and national tenants.

 

  •  

Acquisition/Development Strategy. Our acquisition/development strategy is to invest in properties in the top industrial real estate markets in the United States.

 

  •  

Disposition Strategy. We continuously evaluate local market conditions and property-related factors in all of our markets for purposes of identifying assets suitable for disposition.

 

  •  

Financing Strategy. To finance acquisitions, developments and debt maturities, as market conditions permit, we utilize a portion of proceeds from property sales, proceeds from mortgage financings, line of credit borrowings under our $450 million unsecured credit facility (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”), and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities (see Recent Developments). We also continually evaluate joint venture arrangements as another source of capital. As of February 28, 2013, we had approximately $321.0 million available for additional borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility.

Recent Developments

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA through the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture at a cap rate of 7.3% and several land parcels. The cap rate for the industrial property acquisition was calculated by annualizing the contract rent in place at the time of acquisition and dividing it by the gross agreed-upon fair value for the real estate. The acquisition was funded with a cash payment of $8.3 million and the assumption of a mortgage loan in the amount of $12.0 million, which was subsequently paid off on the date of acquisition. The purchase price of the land parcels was approximately $46.7 million, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the land parcels. We also sold 28 industrial properties, at a weighted average cap rate of 9.0%, and one parcel of land for an aggregate gross sales price of $85.6 million. The cap rate for the 28 industrial property sales is calculated by taking revenues of the property (excluding straight-line rent, lease inducement amortization and above and below market lease amortization) less operating expenses of the property for a period of the last twelve full months prior to sale and dividing the sum by the sales price of the property. At December 31, 2012, we owned 714 in-service industrial properties containing approximately 63.4 million square feet of GLA.

Table of Contents

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we repurchased and retired prior to maturity $106.3 million of our senior unsecured notes and recognized a loss from retirement of debt on our Consolidated Statement of Operations of $9.3 million. We also paid off and retired our 6.875% Notes due 2012 (the “2012 Notes”), at maturity, in the amount of $61.8 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we originated $100.6 million in mortgage financings at an interest rate of 4.03%, maturing in September 2022. We also paid off and retired prior to maturity $14.1 million in mortgage loans payable and recognized a loss from retirement of debt of $0.4 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we redeemed 2,000,000 Depositary Shares, each representing 1/10,000th of a share of our 7.25%, Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), at a redemption price of $25.00 per Depositary Share.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued 9,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, generating $116.7 million in net proceeds, in an underwritten public offering. Additionally, during the first quarter of 2012 we issued 1,532,598 shares of the Company’s common stock, generating $18.1 million in net proceeds, under the Company’s “at-the-market” equity offering program (the “2012 ATM”).

Future Property Acquisitions, Developments and Property Sales

We have acquisition and development programs through which we seek to identify portfolio and individual industrial property acquisitions and developments. We also sell properties based on market conditions and property related factors. As a result, we are currently engaged in negotiations relating to the possible acquisition, development or sale of certain industrial properties in our portfolio.

When evaluating potential industrial property acquisitions and developments, as well as potential industrial property sales, we will consider such factors as: (i) the geographic area and type of property; (ii) the location, construction quality, condition and design of the property; (iii) the terms of tenant leases, including the potential for rent increases; (iv) the potential for economic growth and the tax and regulatory environment of the area in which the property is located; (v) the occupancy and demand by tenants for properties of a similar type in the vicinity; (vi) competition from existing properties and the potential for the construction of new properties in the area; (vii) the potential for capital appreciation of the property; (viii) the ability to improve the property’s performance through renovation; and (ix) the potential for expansion of the physical layout of the property and/or the number of sites.

INDUSTRY

Industrial properties are typically used for the design, assembly, packaging, storage and distribution of goods and/or the provision of services. As a result, the demand for industrial space in the United States is related to the level of economic output. For the five years ended December 31, 2012, the national occupancy rate for industrial properties in the United States has ranged from 85.4%* to 89.8%*, with an occupancy rate of 87.2%* at December 31, 2012.

Table of Contents
Item  1A. Risk Factors

Our operations involve various risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow, ability to pay distributions on our common stock and the market price of our common stock. These risks, among others contained in our other filings with the SEC, include:

Disruptions in the financial markets could affect our ability to obtain financing and may negatively impact our liquidity, financial condition and operating results.

From time to time, the capital and credit markets in the United States and other countries experience significant price volatility, dislocations and liquidity disruptions, which can cause the market prices of many securities and the spreads on prospective debt financings to fluctuate substantially. These circumstances can materially impact liquidity in the financial markets, making terms for certain financings less attractive, and in some cases result in the unavailability of financing. A significant amount of our existing indebtedness was sold through capital markets transactions. We anticipate that the capital markets could be a source of refinancing of our existing indebtedness in the future. This source of refinancing may not be available if capital market volatility and disruption occurs. Furthermore, we could potentially lose access to available liquidity under our Unsecured Credit Facility if one or more participating lenders were to default on their commitments. If our ability to issue additional debt or equity securities to finance future acquisitions, developments and redevelopments and joint venture activities or to borrow money under our Unsecured Credit Facility were to be impaired by capital market volatility and disruption, it could have a material adverse effect on our liquidity and financial condition.

In addition, capital and credit market price volatility could make the valuation of our properties more difficult. There may be significant uncertainty in the valuation, or in the stability of the value, of our properties that could result in a substantial decrease in the value of our properties. As a result, we may not be able to recover the carrying amount of our properties, which may require us to recognize an impairment loss in earnings.

Real estate investments’ value fluctuates depending on conditions in the general economy and the real estate industry. These conditions may limit the Company’s revenues and available cash.

The factors that affect the value of our real estate and the revenues we derive from our properties include, among other things:

 

  •  

general economic conditions;

 

  •  

local, regional, national and international economic conditions and other events and occurrences that affect the markets in which we own properties;

 

  •  

local conditions such as oversupply or a reduction in demand in an area;

 

  •  

the attractiveness of the properties to tenants;

 

  •  

tenant defaults;

 

  •  

zoning or other regulatory restrictions;

 

  •  

competition from other available real estate;

 

  •  

our ability to provide adequate maintenance and insurance; and

 

  •  

increased operating costs, including insurance premiums and real estate taxes.

These factors may be amplified in light of the disruption of the global credit markets. Our investments in real estate assets are concentrated in the industrial sector, and the demand for industrial space in the United States is related to the level of economic output. Accordingly, reduced economic output may lead to lower occupancy rates for our properties. In addition, if any of our tenants experiences a downturn in its business that weakens its financial condition, delays lease commencement, fails to make rental payments when due, becomes insolvent or declares bankruptcy, the result could be a termination of the tenant’s lease, which could adversely affect our cash flow from operations.

Many real estate costs are fixed, even if income from properties decreases.

Our financial results depend on leasing space to tenants on terms favorable to us. Our income and funds available for distribution to our stockholders will decrease if a significant number of our tenants cannot pay their rent or we are unable to lease properties on favorable terms. In addition, if a tenant does not pay its rent, we may not be able to enforce our rights as landlord without delays and we may incur substantial legal costs. Costs associated with real estate property, such as real estate taxes and maintenance costs, generally are not reduced when circumstances cause a reduction in income from the property.

Table of Contents

The Company may be unable to sell properties when appropriate or at all because real estate investments are not as liquid as certain other types of assets.

Real estate investments generally cannot be sold quickly, which will tend to limit our ability to adjust our property portfolio promptly in response to changes in economic or other conditions. The inability to respond promptly to changes in the performance of our property portfolio could adversely affect our financial condition and ability to service debt and make distributions to our stockholders. In addition, like other companies qualifying as REITs under the Code, we must comply with the safe harbor rules relating to the number of properties disposed of in a year, their tax basis and the cost of improvements made to the properties, or meet other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. Thus, our ability at any time to sell assets may be restricted.

The Company may be unable to sell properties on advantageous terms.

We have sold to third parties a significant number of properties in recent years and, as part of our business, we intend to continue to sell properties to third parties. Our ability to sell properties on advantageous terms depends on factors beyond our control, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms or redeploy the proceeds of property sales in accordance with our business strategy, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected.

The Company may be unable to complete development and re-development projects on advantageous terms.

As part of our business, we develop new and re-develop existing properties when and as conditions warrant. In addition, we have sold to third parties or sold to joint ventures development and re-development properties, and we may continue to sell such properties to third parties or to sell or contribute such properties to joint ventures as opportunities arise. The real estate development and re-development business involves significant risks that could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock, which include:

 

  •  

we may not be able to obtain financing for development projects on favorable terms and complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties and generating cash flow;

 

  •  

we may not be able to obtain, or may experience delays in obtaining, all necessary zoning, land-use, building, occupancy and other governmental permits and authorizations;

 

  •  

the properties may perform below anticipated levels, producing cash flow below budgeted amounts and limiting our ability to sell such properties to third parties or to sell such properties to joint ventures.

The Company may be unable to acquire properties on advantageous terms or acquisitions may not perform as the Company expects.

We acquire and intend to continue to acquire primarily industrial properties. The acquisition of properties entails various risks, including the risks that our investments may not perform as expected and that our cost estimates for bringing an acquired property up to market standards may prove inaccurate. Further, we face significant competition for attractive investment opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded REITs and private investors. This competition increases as investments in real estate become attractive relative to other forms of investment. As a result of competition, we may be unable to acquire additional properties as we desire or the purchase prices may be elevated. In addition, we expect to finance future acquisitions through a combination of borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility, proceeds from equity or debt offerings and debt originations by the Company and proceeds from property sales, which may not be available and which could adversely affect our cash flow. Any of the above risks could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market value of, our common stock.

The Company may be unable to renew leases or find other lessees.

We are subject to the risks that, upon expiration, leases may not be renewed, the space subject to such leases may not be relet or the terms of renewal or reletting, including the cost of required renovations, may be less favorable than expiring lease terms. If we were unable to promptly renew a significant number of expiring leases or to promptly relet the space covered by such leases, or if the rental rates upon renewal or reletting were significantly lower than the current rates, our financial condition, results of operation, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected. As of December 31, 2012, leases with respect to approximately 8.5 million, 9.7 million and 8.0 million square feet of our total GLA, representing 15%, 18% and 14% of our total GLA, expire in 2013, 2014 and 2015, respectively.

Table of Contents

The Company might fail to qualify or remain qualified as a REIT.

We intend to operate so as to qualify as a REIT under the Code. Although we believe that we are organized and will operate in a manner so as to qualify as a REIT, qualification as a REIT involves the satisfaction of numerous requirements, some of which must be met on a recurring basis. These requirements are established under highly technical and complex Code provisions of which there are only limited judicial or administrative interpretations and involve the determination of various factual matters and circumstances not entirely within our control.

If we were to fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we would be subject to federal income tax, including any applicable alternative minimum tax, on our taxable income at corporate rates. This could result in a discontinuation or substantial reduction in dividends to stockholders and in cash to pay interest and principal on debt securities that we issue. Unless entitled to relief under certain statutory provisions, we would be disqualified from electing treatment as a REIT for the four taxable years following the year during which we failed to qualify as a REIT.

Certain property transfers may generate prohibited transaction income, resulting in a penalty tax on the gain attributable to the transaction.

As part of our business, we sell properties to third parties as opportunities arise. Under the Code, a 100% penalty tax could be assessed on the gain resulting from sales of properties that are deemed to be prohibited transactions. The question of what constitutes a prohibited transaction is based on the facts and circumstances surrounding each transaction. The Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) could contend that certain sales of properties by us are prohibited transactions. While we have implemented controls to avoid prohibited transactions, if a dispute were to arise that was successfully argued by the IRS, the 100% penalty tax could be assessed against the profits from these transactions. In addition, any income from a prohibited transaction may adversely affect our ability to satisfy the income tests for qualification as a REIT.

The REIT distribution requirements may limit the Company’s ability to retain capital and require the Company to turn to external financing sources.

We could, in certain instances, have taxable income without sufficient cash to enable us to meet the distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code. In that situation, we could be required to borrow funds or sell properties on adverse terms in order to meet those distribution requirements. In addition, because we must distribute to our stockholders at least 90% of our REIT taxable income each year, our ability to accumulate capital may be limited. Thus, to provide capital resources for our ongoing business, and to satisfy our debt repayment obligations and other liquidity needs, we may be more dependent on outside sources of financing, such as debt financing or issuances of additional capital stock, which may or may not be available on favorable terms. Additional debt financings may substantially increase our leverage and additional equity offerings may result in substantial dilution of stockholders’ interests.

Debt financing, the degree of leverage and rising interest rates could reduce the Company’s cash flow.

Where possible, we intend to continue to use leverage to increase the rate of return on our investments and to allow us to make more investments than we otherwise could. Our use of leverage presents an additional element of risk in the event that the cash flow from our properties is insufficient to meet both debt payment obligations and the distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code. In addition, rising interest rates would reduce our cash flow by increasing the amount of interest due on our floating rate debt and on our fixed rate debt as it matures and is refinanced.

Failure to comply with covenants in our debt agreements could adversely affect our financial condition.

The terms of our agreements governing our Unsecured Credit Facility and other indebtedness require that we comply with a number of financial and other covenants, such as maintaining debt service coverage and leverage ratios and maintaining insurance coverage. Complying with such covenants may limit our operational flexibility. Our failure to comply with these covenants could cause a default under the applicable debt agreement even if we have satisfied our payment obligations. Consistent with our prior practice, we will, in the future, continue to interpret and certify our performance under these covenants in a good faith manner that we deem reasonable and appropriate. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by the noteholders or lenders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs. We anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants in 2013. Our ability to meet our financial covenants may be adversely affected if economic and credit market conditions limit our ability to reduce our debt levels consistent with, or result in net operating income below, our current expectations. Under our Unsecured Credit Facility, an event of default can also occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreement.

Upon the occurrence of an event of default, we would be subject to higher finance costs and fees, and the lenders under our Unsecured Credit Facility will not be required to lend any additional amounts to us. In addition, our outstanding senior unsecured notes as well as all outstanding borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility, together with accrued and unpaid interest and fees, could be accelerated and declared to be immediately due and payable. Furthermore, our Unsecured Credit Facility and the indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain cross-default provisions, which are triggered in the event that our other material indebtedness is in default. These cross-default provisions may require us to repay or restructure the Unsecured Credit Facility and the senior unsecured notes or other debt that is in default, which could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our stock. If repayment of any of our borrowings is accelerated, we cannot provide assurance that we will have sufficient assets to repay such indebtedness or that we would be able to borrow sufficient funds to refinance such indebtedness. Even if we are able to obtain new financing, it may not be on commercially reasonable terms, or terms that are acceptable to us.

Cross-collateralization of mortgage loans could result in foreclosure on substantially all of the Company’s properties if the Company is unable to service its indebtedness.

We may obtain additional mortgage debt financing in the future, if it is available to us. These mortgages may be issued on a recourse, non-recourse or cross-collateralized basis. Cross-collateralization makes all of the subject properties available to the lender in order to satisfy our debt. Holders of this indebtedness will have a claim against these properties. To the extent indebtedness is cross-collateralized, lenders may seek to foreclose upon properties that are not the primary collateral for their loan, which may, in turn, result in acceleration of other indebtedness collateralized by properties. Foreclosure of properties would result in a loss of income and asset value to us, making it difficult for us to meet both debt payment obligations and the distribution requirements of the REIT provisions of the Code. At December 31, 2012, mortgage loans payable totaling $483.5 million were cross-collateralized.

The Company may have to make lump-sum payments on its existing indebtedness.

We are required to make the following lump-sum or “balloon” payments under the terms of some of our indebtedness, including indebtedness of the Operating Partnership:

 

  •  

$11.6 million aggregate principal amount of 7.750% Notes due 2032 (the “2032 Notes”);

 

  •  

$55.3 million aggregate principal amount of 7.600% Notes due 2028 (the “2028 Notes”);

 

  •  

$6.1 million aggregate principal amount of 7.150% Notes due 2027 (the “2027 Notes”);

 

  •  

$106.9 million aggregate principal amount of 5.950% Notes due 2017 (the “2017 II Notes”);

 

  •  

$55.4 million aggregate principal amount of 7.500% Notes due 2017 (the “2017 Notes”);

 

  •  

$159.7 million aggregate principal amount of 5.750% Notes due 2016 (the “2016 Notes”);

 

  •  

$81.8 million aggregate principal amount of 6.420% Notes due 2014 (the “2014 Notes”);

 

  •  

$668.8 million in mortgage loans payable, in the aggregate, due between January 2014 and September 2022 on certain of our mortgage loans payable; and

 

  •  

a $450.0 million Unsecured Credit Facility maturing December 12, 2014, under which we may borrow to finance the acquisition of additional properties, fund developments and for other corporate purposes, including working capital. The Unsecured Credit Facility contains a one-year extension option.

As of December 31, 2012, $98.0 million was outstanding under the Unsecured Credit Facility at a weighted average interest rate of 1.912%.

Our ability to make required payments of principal on outstanding indebtedness, whether at maturity or otherwise, may depend on our ability either to refinance the applicable indebtedness or to sell properties. We have no commitments to refinance the 2014 Notes, the 2016 Notes, the 2017 Notes, the 2017 II Notes, the 2027 Notes, the 2028 Notes, the 2032 Notes, the Unsecured Credit Facility or the mortgage loans. Our existing mortgage loan obligations are collateralized by our properties and therefore such obligations will permit the lender to foreclose on those properties in the event of a default.

There is no limitation on debt in the Company’s organizational documents.

As of December 31, 2012, our ratio of debt to our total market capitalization was 44.3%. We compute the percentage by calculating our total consolidated debt as a percentage of the aggregate market value of all outstanding shares of our common stock, assuming the exchange of all limited partnership units of the Operating Partnership for common stock, plus the aggregate stated value of all outstanding shares of preferred stock and total consolidated debt. Our organizational documents do not contain any limitation on the amount or percentage of indebtedness we may incur. Accordingly, we could become more highly leveraged, resulting in an increase in debt service that could adversely affect our ability to make expected distributions to stockholders and an increased risk of default on our obligations.

Rising interest rates on the Company’s Unsecured Credit Facility could decrease the Company’s available cash.

Our Unsecured Credit Facility bears interest at a floating rate. As of December 31, 2012, our Unsecured Credit Facility had an outstanding balance of $98.0 million at a weighted average interest rate of 1.912%. Our Unsecured Credit Facility presently bears interest at LIBOR plus 170 basis points or at a base rate plus 170 basis points, at our election. Based on the outstanding balance on our Unsecured Credit Facility as of December 31, 2012, a 10% increase in interest rates would increase interest expense by $0.2 million on an annual basis. Increases in the interest rate payable on balances outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Facility would decrease our cash available for distribution to stockholders.

The Company’s mortgages may impact the Company’s ability to sell encumbered properties on advantageous terms or at all.

As part of our plan to enhance liquidity and pay down our debt, we have originated numerous mortgage financings and from time to time engage in active discussions with various lenders regarding the origination of additional mortgage financings. Certain of our mortgages contain, and it is anticipated that some future mortgages will contain, substantial prepayment premiums which we would have to pay upon the sale of a property, thereby reducing the net proceeds to us from the sale of any such property. As a result, our willingness to sell certain properties and the price at which we may desire to sell a property may be impacted by the terms of any mortgage financing encumbering a property. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms or redeploy the proceeds of property sales in accordance with our business strategy, then our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected.

Adverse market and economic conditions could cause us to recognize additional impairment charges.

We regularly review our real estate assets for impairment indicators, such as a decline in a property’s occupancy rate, decline in general market conditions or a change in the expected hold period of an asset. If we determine that indicators of impairment are present, we review the properties affected by these indicators to determine whether an impairment charge is required. We use considerable judgment in making determinations about impairments, from analyzing whether there are indicators of impairment to the assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the investment. Accordingly, our subjective estimates and evaluations may not be accurate, and such estimates and evaluations are subject to change or revision.

From time to time, adverse market and economic conditions and market volatility make it difficult to value the real estate assets owned by us as well as the value of our interests in unconsolidated joint ventures. There may be significant uncertainty in the valuation, or in the stability of the cash flows, discount rates and other factors related to such assets due to the adverse market and economic conditions that could result in a substantial decrease in their value. We may be required to recognize additional asset impairment charges in the future, which could materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Earnings and cash dividends, asset value and market interest rates affect the price of the Company’s common stock.

As a REIT, the market value of our common stock, in general, is based primarily upon the market’s perception of our growth potential and our current and potential future earnings and cash dividends. The market value of our common stock is also based upon the market value of our underlying real estate assets. For this reason, shares of our common stock may trade at prices that are higher or lower than our net asset value per share. To the extent that we retain operating cash flow for investment purposes, working capital reserves, or other purposes, these retained funds, while increasing the value of our underlying assets, may not correspondingly increase the market price of our common stock. Our failure to meet the market’s expectations with regard to future earnings and cash dividends likely would adversely affect the market price of our common stock. Further, the distribution yield on the common stock (as a percentage of the price of the common stock) relative to market interest rates may also influence the price of our common stock. An increase in market interest rates might lead prospective purchasers of our common stock to expect a higher distribution yield, which would adversely affect the market price of our common stock.

The Company may incur unanticipated costs and liabilities due to environmental problems.

Under various federal, state and local laws, ordinances and regulations, an owner or operator of real estate may be liable for the costs of clean-up of certain conditions relating to the presence of hazardous or toxic materials on, in or emanating from a property, and any related damages to natural resources. Environmental laws often impose liability without regard to whether the owner or operator knew of, or was responsible for, the presence of hazardous or toxic materials. The presence of such materials, or the failure to address those conditions properly, may adversely affect the ability to rent or sell the property or to borrow using the property as collateral. Persons who dispose of or arrange for the disposal or treatment of hazardous or toxic materials may also be liable for the costs of clean-up of such materials, or for related natural resource damages, at or from an off-site disposal or treatment facility, whether or not the facility is owned or operated by those persons. No assurance can be given that existing environmental assessments with respect to any of our properties reveal all environmental liabilities, that any prior owner or operator of any of the properties did not create any material environmental condition not known to us or that a material environmental condition does not otherwise exist as to any of our properties. In addition, changes to existing environmental regulation to address, among other things, climate change, could increase the scope of our potential liabilities.

The Company’s insurance coverage does not include all potential losses.

We currently carry comprehensive insurance coverage including property, boiler & machinery, liability, fire, flood, terrorism, earthquake, extended coverage and rental loss as appropriate for the markets where each of our properties and their business operations are located. The insurance coverage contains policy specifications and insured limits customarily carried for similar properties and business activities. We believe our properties are adequately insured. However, there are certain losses, including losses from earthquakes, hurricanes, floods, pollution, acts of war or riots, that are not generally insured against or that are not generally fully insured against because it is not deemed to be economically feasible or prudent to do so. If an uninsured loss, a loss in excess of insured limits occurs, or a loss is not paid due to insurer insolvency with respect to one or more of our properties, we could experience a significant loss of capital invested and potential revenues from these properties, and could potentially remain obligated under any recourse debt associated with the property.

The Company is subject to risks and liabilities in connection with its investments in properties through Joint Ventures.

As of December 31, 2012, the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture owned approximately 2.7 million square feet of properties. Our net investment in this Joint Venture was $1.0 million at December 31, 2012. Our organizational documents do not limit the amount of available funds that we may invest in joint ventures and we intend to continue to develop and acquire properties through joint ventures with other persons or entities when warranted by the circumstances. Joint venture investments, in general, involve certain risks, including:

 

  •  

joint venturers may share certain approval rights over major decisions;

 

  •  

joint venturers might fail to fund their share of any required capital commitments;

 

  •  

joint venturers might have economic or other business interests or goals that are inconsistent with our business interests or goals that would affect our ability to operate the property;

 

  •  

joint venturers may have the power to act contrary to our instructions, requests, policies or objectives, including our current policy with respect to maintaining our qualification as a real estate investment trust;

 

  •  

the joint venture agreements often restrict the transfer of a member’s or joint venturer’s interest or “buy-sell” or may otherwise restrict our ability to sell the interest when we desire or on advantageous terms;

 

  •  

disputes between us and our joint venturers may result in litigation or arbitration that would increase our expenses and prevent our officers and directors from focusing their time and effort on our business and subject the properties owned by the applicable joint venture to additional risk; and

 

  •  

we may in certain circumstances be liable for the actions of our joint venturers.

The occurrence of one or more of the events described above could adversely affect our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock.

In addition, joint venture investments in real estate involve all of the risks related to the ownership, acquisition, development, sale and financing of real estate discussed in the risk factors above. To the extent our investments in joint ventures are adversely affected by such risks our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected.

We are subject to risks associated with our international operations.

As of December 31, 2012, we owned one industrial property and one land parcel located in Canada. Our international operations will be subject to risks inherent in doing business abroad, including:

 

  •  

exposure to the economic fluctuations in the locations in which we invest;

 

  •  

difficulties and costs associated with complying with a wide variety of complex laws, treaties and regulations;

 

  •  

revisions in tax treaties or other laws and regulations, including those governing the taxation of our international revenues;

 

  •  

obstacles to the repatriation of earnings and funds;

 

  •  

currency exchange rate fluctuations between the United States dollar and foreign currencies;

 

  •  

restrictions on the transfer of funds; and

 

  •  

national, regional and local political uncertainty.

When we acquire properties located outside of the United States, we may face risks associated with a lack of market knowledge or understanding of the local economy, forging new business relationships in the area and unfamiliarity with local government and permitting procedures. We work to mitigate such risks through extensive diligence and research and associations with experienced partners; however, there can be no guarantee that all such risks will be eliminated.

Adverse changes in our credit ratings could negatively affect our liquidity and business operations.

The credit ratings of the Operating Partnership’s senior unsecured notes and the Company’s preferred stock are based on the Company’s operating performance, liquidity and leverage ratios, overall financial position and other factors employed by the credit rating agencies in their rating analyses. Our credit ratings can affect the availability, terms and pricing of any indebtedness and preferred stock that we may incur going forward. There can be no assurance that we will be able to maintain any credit rating, and in the event any credit rating is downgraded, we could incur higher borrowing costs or be unable to access certain capital markets at all.

Our business could be adversely impacted if we have deficiencies in our disclosure controls and procedures or internal control over financial reporting.

The design and effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent all errors, misstatements or misrepresentations. While management will continue to review the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting, there can be no guarantee that our internal control over financial reporting will be effective in accomplishing all control objectives all of the time. Deficiencies, including any material weakness, in our internal control over financial reporting which may occur in the future could result in misstatements of our results of operations, restatements of our financial statements, a decline in the price of our securities, or otherwise materially adversely affect our business, reputation, results of operations, financial condition or liquidity.

General

At December 31, 2012, we owned 714 in-service industrial properties containing an aggregate of approximately 63.4 million square feet of GLA in 26 states and one province in Canada, with a diverse base of approximately 1,900 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses, including manufacturing, retail, wholesale trade, distribution and professional services. The average annual rent per square foot on a portfolio basis, calculated at December 31, 2012, was $4.47. The properties are generally located in business parks that have convenient access to interstate highways and/or rail and air transportation. We maintain insurance on our properties that we believe is adequate.

We classify our properties into five industrial categories: light industrial, R&D/flex, bulk warehouse, regional warehouse and manufacturing. While some properties may have characteristics which fall under more than one property type, we use what we believe is the most dominant characteristic to categorize the property.

Table of Contents

The following describes, generally, the different industrial categories:

 

  •  

Light industrial properties are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of 16-21 feet, are comprised of 5%-50% of office space and contain less than 50% of manufacturing space;

 

  •  

R&D/flex buildings are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of less than 16 feet, are comprised of 50% or more of office space and contain less than 25% of manufacturing space;

 

  •  

Bulk warehouse buildings are of more than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of at least 22 feet, are comprised of 5%-15% of office space and contain less than 25% of manufacturing space;

 

  •  

Regional warehouses are of less than 100,000 square feet, have a ceiling height of at least 22 feet, are comprised of 5%-15% of office space and contain less than 25% of manufacturing space; and

 

  •  

Manufacturing properties are a diverse category of buildings that have various ceiling heights, are comprised of 5%-15% of office space and contain at least 50% of manufacturing space.

The following tables summarize certain information as of December 31, 2012, with respect to the in-service properties, each of which is wholly owned.

Property Acquisition/Development Activity

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we acquired one industrial property with a fair value of approximately $21.8 million through the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The acquisition was funded with a cash payment of $8.3 million and the assumption of a mortgage loan in the amount of $12.0 million, which was subsequently paid off on the date of acquisition. We also purchased several land parcels for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $46.7 million. The acquired industrial property has the following characteristics:

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we placed in-service two developments totaling approximately 0.8 million square feet of GLA at a total cost of $44.1 million, inclusive of impairment charges recorded prior to the fiscal year ended December 31, 2012. One of the developments was an expansion of an existing building and the estimated investment excludes an allocation of land basis. The developments placed in-service have the following characteristics:

As of December 31, 2012, we were committed to the development of three industrial buildings totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet of GLA. The estimated completion cost is approximately $107.7 million. Of this amount, approximately $45.8 million remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated completion cost.

Property Sales

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold 28 industrial properties totaling approximately 4.2 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Total gross sales proceeds approximated $85.6 million. The 28 industrial properties sold have the following characteristics:

Tenant and Lease Information

We have a diverse base of approximately 1,900 tenants engaged in a wide variety of businesses including manufacturing, retail, wholesale trade, distribution and professional services. At December 31, 2012, our leases have a weighted average lease length of 6.0 years and provide for periodic rent increases that are either fixed or based on changes in the Consumer Price Index. Industrial tenants typically have net or semi-net leases and pay as additional rent their percentage of the property’s operating costs, including the costs of common area maintenance, property taxes and insurance. As of December 31, 2012, approximately 90% of the GLA of our in-service properties was leased, and no single tenant or group of related tenants accounted for more than 2.7% of our rent revenues, nor did any single tenant or group of related tenants occupy more than 2.1% of the total GLA of our in-service properties.

Leasing Activity

The following table provides a summary of our leasing activity for the year ended December 31, 2012. The table does not include month to month leases or leases with terms less than twelve months. New leases where there were no prior comparable leases, due to extended downtime or materially different lease structures, are also excluded.

(1) Net effective rent is the average net rent calculated in accordance with GAAP, over the term of the lease.
(2) GAAP basis rent growth is a ratio of the change in net effective rent (on a GAAP basis, including straight-line rent adjustments as required by GAAP) compared to the net effective rent (on a GAAP basis) of the comparable lease.
(3) The lease term is expressed in years. Assumes no exercise of lease renewal option, if any.
(4) Turnover costs are comprised of the costs incurred or capitalized for improvements of vacant and renewal spaces, as well as the commissions paid and costs capitalized for leasing transactions. Turnover costs per square foot represent the total turnover costs expected to be incurred on the leases signed during the period and do not reflect actual expenditures for the period.
(5) Represents the weighted average square feet of tenants renewing their respective leases.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we signed 263 leases with free rent periods during the lease term on 6.7 million square feet of GLA. Total concessions are $7.6 million associated with these leases.

We had 487 common stockholders of record registered with our transfer agent as of February 28, 2013.

In order to comply with the REIT requirements of the Code, we are generally required to make common share distributions and preferred share distributions (other than capital gain distributions) to our shareholders in amounts that together at least equal i) the sum of a) 90% of our “REIT taxable income” computed without regard to the dividends paid deduction and net capital gains and b) 90% of net income (after tax), if any, from foreclosure property, minus ii) certain excess non-cash income.

Our common share distribution policy is determined by our board of directors and is dependent on multiple factors, including cash flow and capital expenditure requirements, as well as ensuring that we meet the minimum distribution requirements set forth in the Code. We met the minimum distribution requirements with respect to 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Operating Partnership did not issue any units of limited partnership interest (“Units”).

Subject to lock-up periods and certain adjustments, Units of the Operating Partnership are redeemable for common stock of the Company on a one-for-one basis or cash at the option of the Company.

Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with “Selected Financial Data” and the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Form 10-K.

In addition, the following discussion contains certain forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, and Section 21E of the Exchange Act. We intend such forward-looking statements to be covered by the safe harbor provisions for forward-looking statements contained in the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995, and are including this statement for purposes of complying with those safe harbor provisions. Forward-looking statements, which are based on certain assumptions and describe future plans, strategies and expectations of the Company, are generally identifiable by use of the words “believe,” “expect,” “intend,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “project,” “seek,” “target,” “potential,” “focus,” “may,” “should” or similar expressions. Our ability to predict results or the actual effect of future plans or strategies is inherently uncertain. Factors which could have a materially adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to: changes in national, international, regional and local economic conditions generally and real estate markets specifically; changes in legislation/regulation (including changes to laws governing the taxation of REITs) and actions of regulatory authorities (including the IRS); our ability to qualify and maintain our status as a REIT; the availability and attractiveness of financing (including both public and private capital) to us and to our potential counterparties; the availability and attractiveness of terms of additional debt repurchases; interest rates; our credit agency ratings; our ability to comply with applicable financial covenants; competition; changes in supply and demand for industrial properties (including land, the supply and demand for which is inherently more volatile than other types of industrial property) in the Company’s current and proposed market areas; difficulties in consummating acquisitions and dispositions; risks related to our investments in properties through joint ventures; environmental liabilities; slippages in development or lease-up schedules; tenant creditworthiness; higher-than-expected costs; changes in asset valuations and related impairment charges; changes in general accounting principles, policies and guidelines applicable to REITs; international business risks and those additional factors described in Item 1A, “Risk Factors” and in our other filings with the SEC. We caution you not to place undue reliance on forward looking statements, which reflect our analysis only and speak only as of the date of this report or the dates indicated in the statements. We assume no obligation to update or supplement forward-looking statements.

The Company was organized in the state of Maryland on August 10, 1993. We are a REIT, as defined in the Code. We began operations on July 1, 1994. Our interests in our properties and land parcels are held through partnerships, corporations, and limited liability companies controlled, directly or indirectly, by us, including the Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner, and through our taxable REIT subsidiaries. We also conduct operations through other partnerships and limited liability companies, the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership and the taxable REIT subsidiaries, is consolidated with that of the Company, as presented herein.

We also own noncontrolling equity interests in, and provide services to, two joint ventures (the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture). During 2010, we provided various services to, and ultimately disposed of our equity interests in, five joint ventures (the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 2007 Canada Joint Venture). The Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the operating data of our Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The 2007 Europe Joint Venture does not own any properties. See Note 5 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more information on the Joint Ventures.

We believe our financial condition and results of operations are, primarily, a function of our performance in four key areas: leasing of industrial properties, acquisition and development of additional industrial properties, disposition of industrial properties and access to external capital.

We generate revenue primarily from rental income and tenant recoveries from long-term (generally three to six years) operating leases of our industrial properties. Such revenue is offset by certain property specific operating expenses, such as real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities and insurance expenses, along with certain other costs and expenses, such as depreciation and amortization costs and general and administrative and interest expenses. Our revenue growth is dependent, in part, on our ability to (i) increase rental income, through increasing either or both occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties, (ii) maximize tenant recoveries and (iii) minimize operating and certain other expenses. Revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries are a significant source of funds, in addition to income generated from gains/losses on the sale of our properties (as discussed below), for our liquidity. The leasing of property, in general, and occupancy rates, rental rates, operating expenses and certain non-operating expenses, in particular, are impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The leasing of property also entails various risks, including the risk of tenant default. If we were unable to maintain or increase occupancy rates and rental rates at our properties or to maintain tenant recoveries and operating and certain other expenses consistent with historical levels and proportions, our revenue would decline. Further, if a significant number of our tenants were unable to pay rent (including tenant recoveries) or if we were unable to rent our properties on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock would be adversely affected.

Our revenue growth is also dependent, in part, on our ability to acquire existing, and acquire and develop new, additional industrial properties on favorable terms. The Company seeks to identify opportunities to acquire existing industrial properties on favorable terms, and, when conditions permit, also seeks to identify opportunities to acquire and develop new industrial properties on favorable terms. Existing properties, as they are acquired, and acquired and developed properties, as they are leased, generate revenue from rental income, tenant recoveries and fees, income from which, as discussed above, is a source of funds for our distributions. The acquisition and development of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The acquisition and development of properties also entails various risks, including the risk that our investments may not perform as expected. For example, acquired existing and acquired and developed new properties may not sustain and/or achieve anticipated occupancy and rental rate levels. With respect to acquired and developed new properties, we may not be able to complete construction on schedule or within budget, resulting in increased debt service expense and construction costs and delays in leasing the properties. Also, we face significant competition for attractive acquisition and development opportunities from other well-capitalized real estate investors, including publicly-traded REITs and private investors. Further, as discussed below, we may not be able to finance the acquisition and development opportunities we identify. If we were unable to acquire and develop sufficient additional properties on favorable terms, or if such investments did not perform as expected, our revenue growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock would be adversely affected.

We also generate income from the sale of our properties (including existing buildings, buildings which we have developed or re-developed on a merchant basis and land). The gain/loss on, and fees from, the sale of such properties are included in our income and can be a significant source of funds, in addition to revenues generated from rental income and tenant recoveries, for our operations. Currently, a significant portion of our proceeds from sales is being used to repay outstanding debt. Market conditions permitting, however, a portion of our proceeds from such sales may be used to fund the acquisition of existing, and the acquisition and development of new, industrial properties. The sale of properties is impacted, variously, by property specific, market specific, general economic and other conditions, many of which are beyond our control. The sale of properties also entails various risks, including competition from other sellers and the availability of attractive financing for potential buyers of our properties. Further, our ability to sell properties is limited by safe harbor rules applying to REITs under the Code which relate to the number of properties that may be disposed of in a year, their tax bases and the cost of improvements made to the properties, along with other tests which enable a REIT to avoid punitive taxation on the sale of assets. If we are unable to sell properties on favorable terms, our income growth would be limited and our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected.

We utilize a portion of the net sales proceeds from property sales, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility, and proceeds from the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional debt and equity securities to refinance debt and finance future acquisitions and developments. Access to external capital on favorable terms plays a key role in our financial condition and results of operations, as it impacts our cost of capital and our ability and cost to refinance existing indebtedness as it matures and to fund acquisitions and developments or through the issuance, when and as warranted, of additional equity securities. Our ability to access external capital on favorable terms is dependent on various factors, including general market conditions, interest rates, credit ratings on our preferred stock and debt, the market’s perception of our growth potential, our current and potential future earnings and cash distributions and the market price of our capital stock. If we are unable to access external capital on favorable terms, our financial condition, results of operations, cash flow and ability to pay dividends on, and the market price of, our common stock could be adversely affected.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Our significant accounting policies are described in more detail in Note 3 to the Consolidated Financial Statements. We believe the following critical accounting policies relate to the more significant judgments and estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements.

 

  •  

We are subject to tenant defaults and bankruptcies that could affect the collection of rent due under our outstanding accounts receivable, include straight-line rent. In order to mitigate these risks, we perform credit reviews and analyses on our major existing tenants and all prospective tenants meeting certain financial thresholds before leases are executed. We maintain an allowance for doubtful accounts which is an estimate that is based on our assessment of various factors including the accounts receivable aging, customer credit-worthiness and historical bad debts.

 

  •  

Notes receivable are included in prepaid expenses and other assets, net and are loans that are generally collateralized by real estate. At December 31, 2012, we have notes receivable with a carrying value of $41.2 million. Notes receivable are considered past due when a contractual payment is not remitted in accordance with the terms of the note agreement. We evaluate the collectability of each note receivable on an individual basis based on various factors which may include payment history, expected fair value of the collateral on the loan and internal and external credit information. A loan is considered to be impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered to be impaired, the amount of loss is calculated by comparing the recorded investment to the value of the underlying collateral. As the underlying collateral

Table of Contents
 

for a majority of the notes receivable are real estate-related investments, the same valuation techniques are used to value the collateral as those used to determine the fair value of real estate investments for impairment purposes. Interest income on performing loans is accrued as earned. A loan is placed on non-accrual status when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that we will not be able to collect all amounts due according to the existing contractual terms. Recognition of interest income on non-performing loans on an accrual basis is resumed when it is probable that we will be able to collect amounts due according to the contractual terms.

 

  •  

We review our held-for-use properties on a continuous basis for possible impairment and provide a provision if impairments are determined. We utilize the guidelines established under the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) guidance for accounting for the impairment of long lived assets to determine if impairment conditions exist. We review the expected undiscounted cash flows of the property to determine if there are any indications of impairment. If the expected undiscounted cash flows of a particular property are less than the net book basis of the property, we will recognize an impairment charge equal to the amount of carrying value of the property that exceeds the fair value of the property. Fair value is generally determined by discounting the future expected cash flows of the property. The preparation of the undiscounted cash flows and the calculation of fair value involve subjective assumptions such as estimated occupancy, rental rates, ultimate residual value and hold period. The discount rate used to present value the cash flows for determining fair value is also subjective.

 

  •  

Properties are classified as held for sale when all criteria within the FASB’s guidance relating to the disposal of long lived assets are met for such properties. When properties are classified as held for sale, we cease depreciating the properties and estimate the values of such properties and record them at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, we will reclassify such property as held and used. We estimate the value of such property and measure it at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. Fair value of operational industrial properties is generally determined either by discounting the future expected cash flows of the property, third party contract prices or quotes from local brokers. The preparation of the discounted cash flows and the calculation of fair value involve subjective assumptions such as estimated occupancy, rental rates, ultimate residual value, hold period and discount rate. Fair value of land is primarily determined by members of management who are responsible for the individual markets where the land parcels are located, quotes from local brokers or by third party contract prices. The determination of the fair value of real estate assets is also highly subjective, especially in markets where there is a lack of recent comparable transactions.

 

  •  

We analyze our investments in Joint Ventures to determine whether the joint ventures should be accounted for under the equity method of accounting or consolidated into our financial statements based on standards set forth under the FASB’s guidance relating to the consolidation of variable interest entities. Based on the guidance set forth in these pronouncements, we do not consolidate any of our joint venture investments because either the joint venture has been determined to be a variable interest entity but we are not the primary beneficiary or the joint venture has been determined not to be a variable interest entity and we lack control of the joint venture. Our assessment of whether we are the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity involves the consideration of various factors including the form of our ownership interest, our representation on the entity’s governing body, the size of our investment and future cash flows of the entity.

 

  •  

On a continuous basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our investments in Joint Ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired if our estimate of the value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. Our estimates of fair value for each investment are based on a number of subjective assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, market rental rates and operating costs, the discount rate used to value the cash flows of the properties, the cap rate used to estimate the terminal value of the underlying properties and the discount rate used to value the Joint Ventures’ debt.

 

  •  

We capitalize (direct and certain indirect) costs incurred in developing and expanding real estate assets as part of the investment basis. Costs incurred in making repairs and maintaining real estate assets are expensed as incurred. During the land development and construction periods, we capitalize interest costs, real estate taxes and certain general and administrative costs of the personnel performing development up to the time the property is substantially complete. The interest rate used to capitalize interest is based upon our average borrowing rate on existing debt. We also capitalize internal and external costs incurred to successfully originate a lease that result directly from, and are essential to, the acquisition of that lease. Leasing costs that meet the requirements for capitalization are presented as a component of prepaid expenses and other assets, net. The determination and calculation of certain costs requires estimates by us.

 

  •  

We are engaged in the acquisition of individual properties as well as multi-property portfolios. We are required to allocate purchase price between land, building, tenant improvements, leasing commissions, in-place leases, tenant relationships and above and below market leases. Above-market and below-market lease values for acquired properties are recorded

 

24

Table of Contents
 

based on the present value (using a discount rate which reflects the risks associated with the leases acquired) of the difference between (i) the contractual amounts to be paid pursuant to each in-place lease and (ii) our estimate of fair market lease rents for each corresponding in-place lease. Acquired above market leases are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the remaining non-cancelable terms of the respective leases and acquired below market leases are amortized as an increase to rental income over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases. In-place lease and tenant relationship values for acquired properties are recorded based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value allocated to in-place lease intangible assets is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the remaining lease term of the respective lease. The value allocated to tenant relationships is amortized to depreciation and amortization expense over the expected term of the relationship, which includes an estimate of the probability of lease renewal and its estimated term. We also must allocate purchase price on multi-property portfolios to individual properties. The allocation of purchase price is based on our assessment of various characteristics of the markets where the property is located and the expected cash flows of the property.

 

  •  

In the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, significant management judgment is required to estimate our current and deferred income tax liabilities, and our compliance with REIT qualification requirements. Our estimates are based on our interpretation of tax laws. These estimates may have an impact on the income tax expense recognized. Adjustments may be required by a change in assessment of our deferred income tax assets and liabilities, changes due to audit adjustments by federal and state tax authorities, our inability to qualify as a REIT, and changes in tax laws. Adjustments required in any given period are included within the income tax provision.

 

  •  

In assessing the need for a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets, we estimate future taxable income, considering the feasibility of ongoing tax planning strategies and the realizability of tax loss carryforwards. In the event we were to determine that we would not be able to realize all or a portion of our deferred tax assets in the future, we would reduce such amounts through a charge to income in the period in which that determination is made. Conversely, if we were to determine that we would be able to realize our deferred tax assets in the future in excess of the net carrying amounts, we would decrease the recorded valuation allowance through an increase to income in the period in which that determination is made.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2012 to Year Ended December 31, 2011

Our net loss available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders was $22.1 million and $27.0 million for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Basic and diluted net loss available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders was $0.24 per share and $0.34 per share for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The tables below summarize our revenues, property expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2011 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2012 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2011 or were substantially completed for the 12 months prior to January 1, 2011. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service. Acquisitions that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition, developments and redevelopments are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development/redevelopment construction completion. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2010 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2012. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2010. (Re)Developments and land are land parcels and developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2011 or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2011. Other revenues are derived from the operations of our maintenance company, fees earned from our Joint Ventures and other miscellaneous revenues. Other expenses are derived from the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous regional expenses.

During the period between January 1, 2011 and December 31, 2012, two industrial properties previously classified within same store, comprising approximately 0.1 million square feet, are included in the redevelopment classification as of December 31, 2012. As of December 31, 2012, redevelopment activities for both properties are complete and are classified as in-service. These properties will be moved back to the same store classification after the properties have been placed in service for at least two consecutive calendar years.

Our future financial condition and results of operations, including rental revenues, may be impacted by the future acquisition and sale of properties. Our future revenues and expenses may vary materially from historical rates.

Revenues from same store properties increased $6.4 million primarily due to an increase in average occupancy and an increase in lease cancelation fees. Revenues from acquired properties increased $3.0 million due to the two industrial properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2010 totaling approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from sold properties decreased $10.2 million due to the 64 industrial properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2010 totaling approximately 7.1 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments and land increased $0.8 million primarily due to an increase in occupancy. Other revenues increased $1.1 million primarily due to several one-time fees and the reversal of an allowance for deferred rent receivable related to certain tenants, partially offset by a decrease in fees earned from our Joint Ventures.

Property expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other property related expenses. Property expenses from same store properties decreased $4.1 million due primarily to a decrease in real estate tax expense resulting from an increase in refunds received relating to previous tax years and a decrease in repairs and maintenance expense resulting from lower snow removal costs incurred due to the mild 2012 winter. Property expenses from acquired properties increased $0.6 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2010. Property expenses from sold properties decreased $4.0 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2010. Property expenses from (re)developments and land increased by $0.6 million due to an increase in real estate tax expense related to developments being placed in service. Other expenses increased by $1.5 million due to an increase in incentive compensation expense.

General and administrative expense increased $4.5 million, or 21.6%, during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 due primarily to the acceleration of expense recorded during 2012 related to restricted stock held by the Company’s CEO in connection with the terms of his employment agreement that was entered into in December 2012. The increase was also due to an increase in incentive compensation expense and an increase in franchise tax expense due to the reversal of a state franchise tax reserve relating to the 1996-2001 tax years during the year ended December 31, 2011.

We committed to a plan to reduce organizational and overhead costs in October 2008 and have subsequently modified that plan with the goal of further reducing these costs. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we incurred $1.6 million in restructuring charges to provide for costs associated with the termination of a certain office lease ($1.2 million) and other costs ($0.4 million) associated with implementing our restructuring plan.

For industrial properties that no longer qualify to be classified as held for sale, any impairment charge or reversal recorded during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 is reflected in continuing operations. Additionally, any impairment charge or reversal related to a land parcel, whether held for sale or held for use, is reflected in continuing operations. The impairment reversal

Depreciation and other amortization for same store properties decreased $0.2 million primarily due to the accelerated depreciation and amortization taken during the year ended December 31, 2011 attributable to certain tenants who terminated their lease early, offset by an increase due to depreciation taken for properties that were classified as held for sale in 2011 but are no longer classified as held for sale in 2012. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased $1.4 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2010. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $2.2 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2010. Depreciation and other amortization for (re)developments and land and other increased $0.2 million due to an increase in substantial completion of developments. Corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment depreciation expense decreased $0.3 million due to assets becoming fully depreciated.

Interest income decreased $1.0 million, or 26.7%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for notes receivable for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011.

Interest expense, inclusive of $0 and $0.1 million of interest expense included in discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, decreased $16.7 million, or 16.7%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2012 ($1,427.7 million) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 ($1,594.3 million), an increase in capitalized interest of $1.6 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 due to an increase in development activities and a decrease in the weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2012 (5.99%), as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 (6.31%).

Amortization of deferred financing costs decreased $0.5 million, or 12.7%, due primarily to lower deferred financing costs due to the write-off of financing costs related to the repurchase and retirement of certain of our senior unsecured notes, the replacement of our previous credit facility with the Unsecured Credit Facility in December 2011 and the early retirement of certain mortgage loans, partially offset by the costs associated with the origination of mortgage financings during 2012 and 2011.

In October 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement (the “Series F Agreement”) to mitigate our exposure to floating interest rates related to the coupon reset of the Company’s Series F Preferred Stock. The Series F Agreement has a notional value of $50.0 million and is effective from April 1, 2009 through October 1, 2013. The Series F Agreement fixes the 30 year Treasury constant maturity treasury (“CMT”) rate at 5.2175%. We recorded $0.3 million in mark-to-market loss, inclusive of $1.2 million in swap payments, for the year ended December 31, 2012, as compared to $1.7 million in mark-to-market loss, inclusive of $0.6 million in swap payments, for the year ended December 31, 2011.

For the year ended December 31, 2012, we recognized a net loss from retirement of debt of $9.7 million due to the partial repurchase of a certain series of our senior unsecured notes and early payoff of certain mortgage loans. For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a net loss from retirement of debt of $5.5 million due primarily to the early payoff of certain mortgage loans, the partial repurchase of certain series of our senior unsecured notes, the write-off of a portion of unamortized fees associated with the previous unsecured credit facility and a loss on a transfer of a property to a lender in satisfaction of a mortgage loan.

Foreign currency exchange loss of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 relates to the substantial liquidation of operations in Canada.

Equity in income of joint ventures increased $0.6 million, or 59.1%, during the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 primarily due to an increase in our pro rata share of gain on sale of real estate from the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture.

For the year ended December 31, 2012 and the year ended December 31, 2011, gain on change in control of interests relates to the acquisition of the 85% equity interest in one property in each of those periods from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease

Joint Venture. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we recognized $0.8 million gain and $0.7 million gain, respectively, which is the difference between our carrying value and fair value of our equity interest in each of the properties on the respective acquisition date.

Income tax provision (as allocated to continuing operations, discontinued operations and gain on sale of real estate, as applicable) increased $3.4 million, or 157.1%, during the year ended December 31, 2012 compared to the year ended December 31, 2011 due primarily to a one-time IRS audit adjustment on the 2009 liquidation of a former taxable REIT subsidiary, partially offset by a decrease in taxes related to the gain on sale of real estate in the new taxable REIT subsidiaries for the year ended December 31, 2012 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2011.

The following table summarizes certain information regarding the industrial properties included in discontinued operations for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

Income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 reflects the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate relating to 28 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2012 and the results of operations of three industrial properties that were identified as held for sale at December 31, 2012. The impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2012 of $1.4 million relates to an impairment charge related to certain industrial properties that were either sold or classified as held for sale at December 31, 2012.

Income from discontinued operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 reflects the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate relating to 36 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2011, the results of operations of 28 industrial properties that were sold during the year ended December 31, 2012 and the results of operations of the three industrial properties identified as held for sale at December 31, 2012. The impairment loss for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $5.0 million relates to an impairment charge related to certain industrial properties that were sold during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011.

The $3.8 million and $1.4 million gain on sale of real estate for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, resulted from the sale of one land parcel in each respective year that did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.

Comparison of Year Ended December 31, 2011 to Year Ended December 31, 2010

Our net loss available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders was $27.0 million and $222.5 million for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively. Basic and diluted net loss available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders was $0.34 per share and $3.53 per share for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively.

The tables below summarize our revenues, property and construction expenses and depreciation and other amortization by various categories for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010. Same store properties are properties owned prior to January 1, 2010 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2011 and developments and redevelopments that were placed in service prior to January 1, 2010 or were substantially completed for the 12 months prior to January 1, 2010. Properties which are at least 75% occupied at acquisition are placed in service. Acquisitions that are less than 75% occupied at the date of acquisition, developments and redevelopments are placed in service as they reach the earlier of a) stabilized occupancy (generally defined as 90% occupied), or b) one year subsequent to acquisition or development/redevelopment construction completion. Properties are moved from the same store classification to the redevelopment classification when capital expenditures for a project are estimated to exceed 25% of the undepreciated gross book value of the property. Acquired properties are properties that were acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009 and held as an operating property through December 31, 2011. Sold properties are properties that were sold subsequent to December 31, 2009. (Re)Developments and land are land parcels and developments and redevelopments that were not: a) substantially complete 12 months prior to January 1, 2010 or b) stabilized prior to January 1, 2010. Other revenues are derived from the operations of our maintenance company, fees earned from our Joint Ventures and other miscellaneous revenues. Construction revenues and expenses represent revenues earned and expenses incurred in connection with a subsidiary of the Company acting as development manager to construct industrial properties. Other expenses are derived from the operations of our maintenance company and other miscellaneous regional expenses.

Revenues from same store properties decreased $2.8 million due primarily to a decrease in lease cancelation fees and rental rates, offset by an increase in occupancy. Revenues from acquired properties increased $2.3 million due to the four industrial properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009 totaling approximately 1.2 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from sold properties decreased $6.6 million due to the 49 industrial properties and one leased land parcel sold subsequent to December 31, 2009 totaling approximately 4.0 million square feet of GLA. Revenues from (re)developments and land increased $0.2 million primarily due to an increase in occupancy. Other revenues decreased $3.5 million due primarily to a decrease in fees earned from our Joint Ventures. Construction revenues decreased $0.9 million due to the substantial completion during 2010 of certain development projects for which we were acting in the capacity of development manager.

Property expenses include real estate taxes, repairs and maintenance, property management, utilities, insurance and other property related expenses. Property expenses from same store properties remained relatively unchanged. Property expenses from acquired properties increased $0.4 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009. Property expenses from sold properties decreased $2.7 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2009. Property expenses from (re)developments and land decreased $0.2 million due to a decrease in real estate tax expense and a decrease in bad debt expense. The $1.5 million decrease in other expense is primarily attributable to a decrease in compensation resulting from a reduction in employee headcount. Construction expenses decreased $0.5 million due to the substantial completion during 2010 of certain development projects for which we were acting in the capacity of development manager.

Table of Contents

General and administrative expense decreased $6.0 million, or 22.4%, due primarily to a decrease in compensation expense resulting from the reduction in employee headcount that occurred in 2010, a decrease in rent expense resulting from a reduction in office space during 2011 and 2010, a decrease in lawsuit settlement expense and a decrease in franchise tax expense primarily due to the reversal of a state franchise tax reserve relating to the 1996-2001 tax years.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized $1.6 million in restructuring charges to provide for costs associated with the termination of certain office leases ($1.2 million) and other costs ($0.4 million) associated with implementing our restructuring plan. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized $1.9 million in restructuring charges to provide for employee severance and benefits ($0.5 million), costs associated with the termination of certain office leases ($0.7 million) and other costs ($0.7 million) associated with implementing our restructuring plan.

On October 22, 2010, we amended our existing credit facility. In conjunction with the amendment, management identified a pool of real estate assets to be classified as held for sale. At December 31, 2010, the pool of real estate assets classified as held for sale consisted of 192 industrial properties comprising approximately 15.8 million square feet of GLA and land parcels comprising approximately 695 acres. An impairment charge of $185.4 million was recorded during the year ended December 31, 2010 related to certain industrial properties due to a reassessment of the hold period. The impairment charge was necessary in order to adjust the carrying value of the assets to fair market value less costs to sell. At December 31, 2012, 141 of the original 192 industrial properties comprising approximately 10.0 million square feet of GLA were reclassified as held for use. As a result, any impairment charge or reversal recorded during 2011 and 2010 is reflected in continuing operations. Additionally, any impairment charge or reversal related to a land parcel, whether held for sale or held for use, is reflected in continuing operations. The impairment reversal included in continuing operations for the year ended December 31, 2011 of $7.6 million is primarily comprised of a reversal of impairment of $1.7 million relating to certain industrial properties and land parcels that no longer qualify for held for sale classification and $5.9 million relating to a sold land parcel.

In addition to the impairments discussed above, in connection with our periodic review of the carrying values of our properties and the negotiation of a new lease, we recorded an impairment charge of $9.2 million during the first quarter of 2010 related to one property located in Grand Rapids, Michigan.

Depreciation and other amortization for same store properties decreased $10.3 million primarily due to the cessation of depreciation and amortization of certain industrial properties that qualified for held for sale classification during 2011 as well as accelerated depreciation and amortization taken during the twelve months ended December 31, 2010 attributable to certain tenants who terminated their lease early. Depreciation and other amortization from acquired properties increased $1.6 million due to properties acquired subsequent to December 31, 2009. Depreciation and other amortization from sold properties decreased $3.8 million due to properties sold subsequent to December 31, 2009. Depreciation and other amortization for (re)developments and land and other increased $0.3 million due primarily to an increase in the substantial completion of developments. Corporate furniture, fixtures and equipment decreased $0.5 million primarily due to assets becoming fully depreciated.

Interest income decreased $0.4 million, or 10.1%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average notes receivable balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010.

Interest expense, inclusive of $0.1 million and $0.3 million of interest expense included in discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2011 and 2010, respectively, decreased $6.0 million, or 5.6%, primarily due to a decrease in the weighted average debt balance outstanding for the year ended December 31, 2011 ($1,594.3 million) as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 ($1,867.8 million) and by an increase in capitalized interest for the year ended December 31, 2011 due to an increase in development activities, offset by an increase in the weighted average interest rate for the year ended December 31, 2011 (6.31%), as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 (5.68%).

Amortization of deferred financing costs increased $0.5 million, or 14.1%, due primarily to an increase in financing costs related to the amendment of the previous unsecured credit facility in October 2010.

We recorded $1.7 million in mark-to-market loss, inclusive of $0.6 million in swap payments, which is included in Mark-to-Market Loss on Interest Rate Protection Agreements for the year ended December 31, 2011, as compared to $1.1 million in mark-to-market loss, inclusive of $0.5 million in swap payments, for the year ended December 31, 2010.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, we recognized a net loss from retirement of debt of $5.5 million due primarily to the early payoff of certain mortgage loans, the partial repurchase of certain series of our senior unsecured notes, the write-off of unamortized fees associated with the previous unsecured credit facility and a loss on a transfer of a property to a lender in satisfaction of a mortgage loan. For the year ended December 31, 2010, we recognized a net loss from retirement of debt of $4.3 million due primarily to the redemption of our 7.375% Notes due 2011.

Foreign currency exchange loss of $0.3 million for the year ended December 31, 2011 relates to the substantial liquidation of our operations in Canada. Foreign currency exchange loss of $0.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 relates to the substantial liquidation of our operations in Europe.

Equity in income of joint ventures increased $0.3 million, or 45.2%, during the year ended December 31, 2011 as compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to selling our equity interest in five joint ventures (the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 2007 Canada Joint Venture) during 2010. For the year ended December 31, 2010, our pro rata share of net losses from two of the sold joint ventures of $2.3 million was offset by our pro rata share of net income from three of the sold joint ventures of $2.1 million.

The gain on sale of joint venture interests of $11.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2010 relates to the sale of our 10% equity interests in each of the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 2007 Canada Joint Venture to our joint venture partner on August 5, 2010. Additionally, the gain includes approximately $2.7 million of proceeds related to the separate sales of three industrial properties by the Joint Ventures during August and October 2010 for which, in accordance with the sale agreement, we were entitled to a final distribution.

For the year ended December 31, 2011, gain on change in control of interests relates to the acquisition of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The $0.7 million gain is the difference between our carrying value and fair value of our equity interest on the acquisition date.

Income tax provision (as allocated to continuing operations, discontinued operations and gain on sale of real estate, as applicable) decreased $1.2 million, or 35.0%, during the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010 primarily due to an increase in state taxes in 2010 due to a one time unfavorable court decision on business loss carryforwards in the State of Michigan in 2010 and gain on sale of joint venture interests in 2010, partially offset by an increase in gain on sale of real estate within our taxable REIT subsidiaries during the year ended December 31, 2011 compared to the year ended December 31, 2010.

The $0.9 million gain on sale of real estate for the year ended December 31, 2010 resulted from the sale of several land parcels that did not meet the criteria for inclusion in discontinued operations.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

At December 31, 2012, our cash and cash equivalents were approximately $4.9 million. We also had $352.0 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility, subject to certain restrictions.

We have considered our short-term (through December 31, 2013) liquidity needs and the adequacy of our estimated cash flow from operations and other expected liquidity sources to meet these needs. We believe that our principal short-term liquidity needs are to fund normal recurring expenses, property acquisitions, developments, renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements, debt service requirements, preferred dividends, the minimum distributions required to maintain our REIT qualification under the Code and distributions approved by our Board of Directors. We anticipate that these needs will be met with cash flows provided by operating activities as well as the disposition of select assets.

We expect to meet long-term (after December 31, 2013) liquidity requirements such as property acquisitions, developments, scheduled debt maturities, major renovations, expansions and other nonrecurring capital improvements through the disposition of select assets, long-term unsecured and secured indebtedness and the issuance of additional equity securities, subject to market conditions.

We also financed the development and acquisition of additional properties through borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility and may finance the development or acquisition of additional properties through such borrowings, to the extent capacity is available, in the future. At December 31, 2012, borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 1.912%. As of February 28, 2013, we had approximately $321.0 million available for additional borrowings under our Unsecured Credit Facility, subject to certain restrictions. Our Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Our access to borrowings may be limited if we fail to meet any of these covenants. We believe that we were in compliance with our financial covenants as of December 31, 2012, and we anticipate that we will be able to operate in compliance with our financial covenants in 2013.

Our senior unsecured notes have been assigned credit ratings from Standard & Poor’s, Moody’s and Fitch Ratings of BB/Ba3/BB, respectively. In the event of a downgrade, we believe we would continue to have access to sufficient capital; however, our cost of borrowing would increase and our ability to access certain financial markets may be limited.

Year Ended December 31, 2012

Net cash provided by operating activities of approximately $136.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 was comprised primarily of the non-cash adjustments of approximately $131.4 million and the net change in operating assets and liabilities of $14.6 million, offset by a net loss of approximately $2.5 million and payments of premiums and discounts associated with retirement of debt of $7.1 million. The adjustments for the non-cash items of approximately $131.4 million are primarily comprised of depreciation and amortization of approximately $138.7 million, the loss from retirement of debt of approximately $9.7 million, a book overdraft of approximately $1.7 million, the impairment of real estate of approximately $1.2 million, the provision for bad debt of approximately $0.5 million and the mark-to-market loss on an interest rate protection agreement related to the Series F Agreement of approximately $0.3 million, offset by the gain on sale of real estate of approximately $16.4 million, the gain on the change in control of interests in connection with the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture of approximately $0.8 million and the effect of the straight-lining of rental income of approximately $3.5 million.

Net cash used in investing activities of approximately $42.2 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 was comprised primarily of the acquisition of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and several land parcels, the development of real estate, capital expenditures related to the improvement of existing real estate, payments related to leasing activities and an increase in lender escrows, offset by the net proceeds from the sale of real estate and the repayments on our notes receivable.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA through the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. The acquisition was funded with a cash payment of $8.3 million and the assumption of a mortgage loan in the amount of $12.0 million, which was subsequently paid off on the date of acquisition. We also acquired several land parcels. The purchase price of these land parcel acquisitions totaled approximately $46.7 million, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of these land parcels.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we sold 28 industrial properties comprising approximately 4.2 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Proceeds from the sales of the 28 industrial properties and one land parcel, net of closing costs, were approximately $82.5 million. We are in various stages of discussions with third parties for the sale of additional properties and plan to continue to selectively market other properties for sale in 2013.

Net cash used in financing activities of approximately $99.4 million for the year ended December 31, 2012 was comprised primarily of repayments on our senior unsecured notes and mortgage and other loans payable, payments of debt and equity issuance costs, preferred stock dividends, the partial redemption of the Series J Preferred Stock, the repurchase and retirement of restricted stock, payments on the interest rate swap agreement and net repayments on our Unsecured Credit Facility offset by the net proceeds from the issuance of common stock and proceeds from the origination of mortgage loans payable.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we repurchased $106.3 million of our unsecured notes at an aggregate purchase price of $110.6 million. Additionally, we also paid off and retired our 2012 Notes, at maturity, in the amount of $61.8 million. We may from time to time repay additional amounts of our outstanding debt. Any repayments would depend upon prevailing market conditions, our liquidity requirements, contractual restrictions and other factors we consider important. Future repayments may materially impact our liquidity, taxable income and results of operations.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we obtained six secured mortgage loans aggregating to $100.6 million. The mortgage loans bear interest at a fixed rate of 4.03% and mature on September 1, 2022. During the year ended December 31, 2012, we paid off and retired prior to maturity mortgage loans in the amount of $14.1 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we redeemed 2,000,000 Depositary Shares of the Series J Preferred Stock for $25.00 per Depositary Share, or $50.0 million in the aggregate, and paid a prorated fourth quarter dividend of $0.407812 per Depositary Share, totaling approximately $0.8 million.

During the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued 9,400,000 shares of the Company’s common stock through a public offering, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $116.8 million. Additionally, during the year ended December 31, 2012, we issued 1,532,598 shares of the Company’s common stock via the 2012 ATM program, resulting in net proceeds of approximately $18.1 million. We may access the equity markets again, subject to contractual restrictions and market conditions. To the extent additional equity offerings occur, we expect to use at least a portion of the proceeds received to reduce our indebtedness or fund property acquisitions and developments.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

At December 31, 2012, we had a letter of credit and several performance bonds outstanding, amounting to $9.5 million in the aggregate. The letter of credit and performance bonds are not reflected as liabilities on our balance sheet. We have no other off-balance sheet arrangements, as defined in Item 303 of Regulation S-K, other than those disclosed on the Contractual Obligations and Commitments table above, that have or are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, results of operation or liquidity and capital resources.

Environmental

We paid approximately $0.4 million and $1.1 million in 2012 and 2011, respectively, related to environmental expenditures. We estimate 2013 expenditures of approximately $1.1 million. We estimate that the aggregate expenditures which need to be expended in 2013 and beyond with regard to currently identified environmental issues will not exceed approximately $2.8 million.

Inflation

For the last several years, inflation has not had a significant impact on the Company because of the relatively low inflation rates in our markets of operation. Most of our leases require the tenants to pay their share of operating expenses, including common area maintenance, real estate taxes and insurance, thereby reducing our exposure to increases in costs and operating expenses resulting from inflation. In addition, many of the outstanding leases expire within six years which may enable us to replace existing leases with new leases at higher base rentals if rents of existing leases are below the then-existing market rate.

Market Risk

The following discussion about our risk-management activities includes “forward-looking statements” that involve risk and uncertainties. Actual results could differ materially from those projected in the forward-looking statements. Our business subjects us to market risk from interest rates, and to a much lesser extent, foreign currency fluctuations.

Interest Rate Risk

This analysis presents the hypothetical gain or loss in earnings, cash flows or fair value of the financial instruments and derivative instruments which are held by us at December 31, 2012 that are sensitive to changes in the interest rates. While this analysis may have some use as a benchmark, it should not be viewed as a forecast.

In the normal course of business, we also face risks that are either non-financial or non-quantifiable. Such risks principally include credit risk and legal risk and are not represented in the following analysis.

At December 31, 2012, $1,237.8 million (92.7% of total debt at December 31, 2012) of our debt was fixed rate debt and $98.0 million (7.3% of total debt at December 31, 2012) of our debt was variable rate debt. At December 31, 2011, approximately $1,330.5 million (approximately 89.9% of total debt at December 31, 2011) of our debt was fixed rate debt and approximately $149.0 million (approximately 10.1% of total debt at December 31, 2011) was variable rate debt. Currently, we do not enter into financial instruments for trading or other speculative purposes.

For fixed rate debt, changes in interest rates generally affect the fair value of the debt, but not our earnings or cash flows. Conversely, for variable rate debt, changes in the base interest rate used to calculate the all-in interest rate generally do not impact the fair value of the debt, but would affect our future earnings and cash flows. The interest rate risk and changes in fair market value of fixed rate debt generally do not have a significant impact on us until we are required to refinance such debt. See Note 6 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the maturity dates of our various fixed rate debt.

Based upon the amount of variable rate debt outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011, a 10% increase or decrease in the interest rate on our variable rate debt would decrease or increase, respectively, future net income and cash flows by approximately $0.2 million and $0.4 million per year, respectively. The foregoing calculation assumes an instantaneous increase or decrease in the rates applicable to the amount of borrowings outstanding under our Unsecured Credit Facility at December 31, 2012. Changes in LIBOR could result in a greater than 10% increase to such rates. In addition, the calculation does not account for our option to elect the lower of two different interest rates under our borrowings or other possible actions, such as prepayment, that we might take in response to any rate increase. A 10% increase in interest rates would decrease the fair value of the fixed rate debt at December 31, 2012 and 2011 by approximately $25.0 million to $1,306.8 million and by approximately $36.7 million to $1,337.3 million, respectively. A 10% decrease in interest rates would increase the fair value of the fixed rate debt at December 31, 2012 and 2011 by approximately $25.9 million to $1,357.8 million and by approximately $38.9 million to $1,412.9 million, respectively.

The use of derivative financial instruments allows us to manage risks of increases in interest rates with respect to the effect these fluctuations would have on our earnings and cash flows. As of December 31, 2012, we had one outstanding derivative with a notional amount of $50.0 million which mitigates our exposure to floating interest rates related to the reset rate of our Series F Preferred Stock.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

Owning, operating and developing industrial property outside of the United States exposes us to the possibility of volatile movements in foreign exchange rates. Changes in foreign currencies can affect the operating results of international operations reported in U.S. dollars and the value of the foreign assets reported in U.S. dollars. The economic impact of foreign exchange rate movements is complex because such changes are often linked to variability in real growth, inflation, interest rates, governmental actions and other factors. At December 31, 2012, we owned one land parcel for which the U.S. dollar was not the functional currency. The land parcel is located in Ontario, Canada and uses the Canadian dollar as its functional currency.

IRS Tax Refund

On August 24, 2009, we received a private letter ruling from the IRS granting favorable loss treatment under Sections 331 and 336 of the Code on the tax liquidation of one of our former taxable REIT subsidiaries. On November 6, 2009, legislation was signed that allowed businesses with net operating losses for 2008 or 2009 to carry back those losses for up to five years. As a result, we received a refund from the IRS of $40.4 million in the fourth quarter of 2009 (the “Refund”) in connection with this tax liquidation. As previously reported, the IRS examination team, which is required by statute to review all refund claims in excess of $2.0 million on behalf of the Joint Committee on Taxation, indicated to us that it disagreed with certain of the property valuations we obtained from an independent valuation expert in support of our fair value of the liquidated taxable REIT subsidiary and our claim for the Refund. We have reached an agreement with the regional office of the IRS on a proposed adjustment to the Refund. The total agreed-upon adjustment to taxable income is approximately $13.7 million, which equates to approximately $4.8 million of taxes owed. We must also pay accrued interest which was approximately $0.5 million as of December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a charge of $5.3 million related to the agreed-upon adjustment which is reflected as a component of income tax expense. The settlement amount is subject to final review and approval by the Joint Committee on Taxation. There can be no assurance that the settlement amount will be approved at the level we currently anticipate, nor can we provide an estimate of the timing of the final approval.

In addition, we are currently in discussions with the regional office of the IRS to determine the timing of the impact of the proposed tax settlement on the tax characterization of the distributions to the limited partners of the Operating Partnership and the stockholders of the Company which is likely to result in additional capital gain income being allocable to the limited partners of the Operating Partnership and the stockholders of the Company.

Supplemental Earnings Measure

Investors in and industry analysts following the real estate industry utilize funds from operations (“FFO”) as a supplemental operating performance measure of an equity REIT. Historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time through depreciation. Since real estate values instead have historically risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry analysts and investors prefer to supplement operating results that use historical cost accounting. The National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”) created FFO as a supplemental measure of REIT operating performance that excludes historical cost depreciation, among other items, from net income (loss) determined in accordance with GAAP. FFO is a non-GAAP financial measure. FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities should not be considered as a substitute for its most comparable GAAP measure, net income (loss) available to common stockholders and participating securities, or any other measures derived in accordance with GAAP. FFO does not represent cash generated from operating activities in accordance with GAAP and should not be considered as an alternative to cash flow from operating activities as a measure of our liquidity, nor is it indicative of funds available for our cash needs, including our ability to make cash distributions. FFO is calculated by us in accordance with the definition adopted by the Board of Governors of NAREIT and therefore may not be comparable to other similarly titled measures of other companies.

Management believes that the use of FFO available to common stockholders and participating securities, combined with net income (loss) (which remains the primary measure of performance), improves the understanding of operating results of REITs among the investing public and makes comparisons of REIT operating results more meaningful. Management believes that, by excluding gains or losses related to sales of previously depreciated real estate assets, real estate asset depreciation and amortization and impairment charges (reversals) recorded on depreciable real estate, investors and analysts are able to identify the operating results of the long-term assets that form the core of a REIT’s activity and use these operating results for assistance in comparing these operating results between periods or to those of different companies.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.:

In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(1) present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”) at December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three years in the period ended December 31, 2012 in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. In addition, in our opinion, the financial statement schedule listed in the index appearing under Item 15(a)(2) presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein when read in conjunction with the related consolidated financial statements. Also in our opinion, the Company maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of December 31, 2012, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). The Company’s management is responsible for these financial statements and financial statement schedule, for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting appearing under Item 9A. Our responsibility is to express opinions on these financial statements, on the financial statement schedule, and on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our integrated audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audits to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement and whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audits of the financial statements included examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements, assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, and evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. Our audit of internal control over financial reporting included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audits also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC.

NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Dollars in thousands except per share data)

1. Organization and Formation of Company

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) was organized in the state of Maryland on August 10, 1993. The Company is a real estate investment trust (“REIT”) as defined in the Internal Revenue Code of 1986 (the “Code”). Unless the context otherwise requires, the terms “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our” refer to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc., First Industrial, L.P. and their other controlled subsidiaries. We refer to our operating partnership, First Industrial, L.P., as the “Operating Partnership.”

We began operations on July 1, 1994. Our operations are conducted primarily through the Operating Partnership, of which we are the sole general partner, and through our taxable REIT subsidiaries. We also conduct operations through other partnerships and limited liability companies, the operating data of which, together with that of the Operating Partnership and the taxable REIT subsidiaries, is consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein.

We also own noncontrolling equity interests in, and provide various services to, two joint ventures (the “2003 Net Lease Joint Venture” and the “2007 Europe Joint Venture”). During 2010, we provided various services to, and ultimately disposed of our equity interests in, five joint ventures (the “2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture,” the “2005 Core Joint Venture,” the “2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program,” the “2006 Land/Development Joint Venture,” and the “2007 Canada Joint Venture;” together with the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture and the 2007 Europe Joint Venture, the “Joint Ventures”). The Joint Ventures are accounted for under the equity method of accounting. Accordingly, the operating data of our Joint Ventures is not consolidated with that of the Company as presented herein. The 2007 Europe Joint Venture does not own any properties. See Note 5 for more information on the Joint Ventures.

As of December 31, 2012, we owned 714 industrial properties located in 26 states in the United States and one province in Canada, containing an aggregate of approximately 63.4 million square feet of gross leasable area (“GLA”).

Any references to the number of buildings and square footage in the financial statement footnotes are unaudited.

2. Basis of Presentation

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. is the sole general partner of the Operating Partnership, with an approximate 95.5% and 94.3% ownership interest at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Noncontrolling interest of approximately 4.5% and 5.7% at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, represents the aggregate partnership interest in the Operating Partnership held by the limited partners thereof.

Our consolidated financial statements at December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for each of the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 include the accounts and operating results of the Company and our subsidiaries. Such financial statements present our noncontrolling equity interests in our Joint Ventures under the equity method of accounting. All intercompany transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.

3. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

In order to conform with generally accepted accounting principles, we are required in preparation of our financial statements to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses for each of the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Reclassifications and Other Presentation Matters

Certain reclassifications have been made to the 2011 and 2010 financial statements to conform to the 2012 presentation. Additionally, the results of operations for the year ended December 31, 2012 includes $1,528 of depreciation and amortization expense which should have been recorded as depreciation and amortization expense during previous periods. Management evaluated these depreciation and amortization expense adjustments and believes they are not material to the results of the current period or any previous period.

Cash and Cash Equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents include all cash and liquid investments with an initial maturity of three months or less. The carrying amount approximates fair value due to the short term maturity of these investments.

Investment in Real Estate and Depreciation

Investment in Real Estate is carried at cost, less accumulated depreciation and amortization. We review our properties on a continuous basis for impairment and provide a provision if impairments exist. To determine if an impairment may exist, we review our properties and identify those that have had either an event of change or event of circumstances warranting further assessment of recoverability (such as a decrease in occupancy or decline in general market conditions). If further assessment of recoverability is needed, we estimate the future net cash flows expected to result from the use of the property and its eventual disposition on an individual property basis. If the sum of the expected future net cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) is less than the carrying amount of the property on an individual property basis, we will recognize an impairment loss based upon the estimated fair value of such property. For properties we consider held for sale, we cease depreciating the properties and value the properties at the lower of depreciated cost or fair value, less costs to dispose. If circumstances arise that were previously considered unlikely, and, as a result, we decide not to sell a property previously classified as held for sale, we will reclassify such property as held and used. Such property is measured at the lower of its carrying amount (adjusted for any depreciation and amortization expense that would have been recognized had the property been continuously classified as held and used) or fair value at the date of the subsequent decision not to sell. We classify properties as held for sale when all criteria within the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (the “FASB”) guidance on the impairment or disposal of long-lived assets are met.

Interest costs, real estate taxes, compensation costs of development personnel and other directly related costs incurred during construction periods are capitalized and depreciated commencing with the date the property is substantially completed. Upon substantial completion, we reclassify construction in progress to building, tenant improvements and leasing commissions. Such costs begin to be capitalized to the development projects from the point we are undergoing necessary activities to get the development ready for its intended use and ceases when the development projects are substantially completed and held available for occupancy.

Depreciation expense is computed using the straight-line method based on the following useful lives:

 

     Years  

Buildings and Improvements

      7 to 50   

Land Improvements

      3 to 20   

Furniture, Fixtures and Equipment

      4 to 10   

Construction expenditures for tenant improvements, leasehold improvements and leasing commissions (inclusive of compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing) are capitalized and amortized over the terms of each specific lease. Capitalized compensation costs of personnel attributable to leasing relate to time directly attributable to originating leases with independent third parties that result directly from and are essential to originating those leases and would not have been incurred had these leasing transactions not occurred. Repairs and maintenance are charged to expense when incurred. Expenditures for improvements are capitalized.

Upon acquisition of a property, we allocate the purchase price of the property based upon the fair value of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed, which generally consists of land, buildings, tenant improvements, leasing commissions and intangible assets including in-place leases, above market and below market leases and tenant relationships. We allocate the purchase price to the fair value of the tangible assets of an acquired property by valuing the property as if it were vacant. Acquired above and below market leases are valued based on the present value of the difference between prevailing market rates and the in-place rates measured over a period equal to the remaining term of the lease for above market leases and the initial term plus the term of any below market fixed rate renewal options for below market leases. The above market lease values are amortized as a reduction of rental revenue over the remaining term of the respective leases, and the below market lease values are amortized as an increase to base rental revenue over the remaining initial terms plus the terms of any below market fixed rate renewal options of the respective leases.

The purchase price is further allocated to in-place lease values and tenant relationships based on our evaluation of the specific characteristics of each tenant’s lease and our overall relationship with the respective tenant. The value of in-place lease intangibles and tenant relationships, which are included as components of Deferred Leasing Intangibles, Net are amortized over the remaining lease term (and expected renewal periods of the respective lease for tenant relationships) as adjustments to depreciation and other amortization expense. If a tenant terminates its lease early, the unamortized portion of the tenant improvements, leasing commissions, above and below market leases, the in-place lease value and tenant relationships is immediately written off.

Rental revenues increased by $871, $1,529 and $3,003 related to net amortization of above/(below) market leases, exclusive of net amortization related to above/(below) market leases included in discontinued operations, for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, respectively. We will recognize net amortization related to deferred leasing intangibles over the next five years, for properties owned as of December 31, 2012 as follows:

Construction Revenues and Expenses

Construction revenues and expenses represent revenues earned and expenses incurred in connection with a subsidiary of the Company acting as a development manager to construct industrial properties for third parties. We use the percentage-of-completion contract method to recognize revenue. Using this method, revenues are recorded based on estimates of the percentage of completion of individual contracts. The percentage of completion estimates are based on a comparison of the contract expenditures incurred to the estimated final costs. Changes in job performance, job conditions and estimated profitability may result in revisions to costs and income and are recognized in the period in which the revisions are determined.

Foreign Currency Transactions and Translation

At December 31, 2012, we owned a land parcel located in Toronto, Canada for which the functional currency was determined to be the Canadian dollar. The assets and liabilities related to this land parcel are translated to U.S. dollars from the Canadian dollar based on the current exchange rate prevailing at each balance sheet date. The income statement accounts related to this land parcel are translated using the average exchange rate for the period. The resulting translation adjustments are included in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income.

Deferred Financing Costs

Deferred financing costs include fees and costs incurred to obtain long-term financing. These fees and costs are being amortized over the terms of the respective loans. Accumulated amortization of deferred financing costs was $15,063 and $13,086 at December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Unamortized deferred financing costs are written-off when debt is retired before the maturity date.

Investments in Joint Ventures

Investments in Joint Ventures represent our noncontrolling equity interests in our Joint Ventures. We account for our Investments in Joint Ventures under the equity method of accounting, as we do not have a majority voting interest, operational control or financial control. Control is determined using accounting standards related to the consolidation of joint ventures and variable interest entities. In order to assess whether consolidation of a variable-interest entity is required, an enterprise is required to qualitatively assess the determination of the primary beneficiary of a variable interest entity (“VIE”) based on whether the entity (1) has the power to direct matters that most significantly impact the activities of the VIE and (2) has the obligation to absorb losses or the right to receive benefits of the VIE that could potentially be significant to the VIE. Additionally, they require an ongoing reconsideration of the primary beneficiary and provide a framework for the events that trigger a reassessment of whether an entity is a VIE.

Under the equity method of accounting, our share of earnings or losses of our Joint Ventures is reflected in income as earned and contributions or distributions increase or decrease our Investments in Joint Ventures as paid or received, respectively. Differences between our carrying value of our Investments in Joint Ventures and our underlying equity of such Joint Ventures are amortized over the respective lives of the underlying assets.

On a continuous basis, we assess whether there are any indicators that the value of our Investments in Joint Ventures may be impaired. An investment is impaired if our estimate of the fair value of the investment is less than the carrying value of the investment, and such decline in fair value is deemed to be other than temporary. To the extent impairment has occurred, the loss shall be measured as the excess of the carrying amount of the investment over the fair value of the investment. Our estimates of fair value for each investment are based on a number of subjective assumptions that are subject to economic and market uncertainties including, among others, demand for space, market rental rates and operating costs, the discount rate used to value the cash flows of the properties, the cap rate used to estimate the terminal value of the underlying properties and the discount rate used to value the Joint Ventures’ debt. As these factors are difficult to predict and are subject to future events that may alter our assumptions, our fair values estimated in the impairment analyses may not be realized.

Stock Based Compensation

We account for stock based compensation using the modified prospective application method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all stock-based awards at fair value on the date of grant and recognition of compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest.

Net income, net of preferred dividends and redemption of preferred stock, is allocated to common stockholders and participating securities based upon their proportionate share of weighted average shares plus weighted average participating securities. Participating securities are unvested share-based payment awards that contain non-forfeitable rights to dividends or dividend equivalents. Restricted stock awards granted to employees and directors are considered participating securities as they receive non-forfeitable dividend or dividend equivalents at the same rate as common stock. See Note 9 for further disclosure about participating securities.

Revenue Recognition

Rental income is recognized on a straight-line method under which contractual rent increases are recognized evenly over the lease term. Tenant recovery income includes payments from tenants for real estate taxes, insurance and other property operating expenses and is recognized as revenue in the same period the related expenses are incurred by us.

Revenue is generally recognized on payments received from tenants for early lease terminations upon the effective termination of a tenant’s lease and when we have no further obligations under the lease.

Interest income on notes receivable is recognized based on the accrual method unless a significant uncertainty of collection exists. If a significant uncertainty exists, interest income is recognized as collected.

We provide an allowance for doubtful accounts against the portion of tenant accounts receivable including deferred rent receivable, which is estimated to be uncollectible. Accounts receivable in the consolidated balance sheets are shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,875 and $2,675 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. Deferred rent receivable in the consolidated balance sheets is shown net of an allowance for doubtful accounts of $1,733 and $2,302 as of December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. For accounts receivable we deem uncollectible, we use the direct write-off method.

Table of Contents

Gain on Sale of Real Estate

Gain on sale of real estate is recognized using the full accrual method, when appropriate. Gains relating to transactions which do not meet the full accrual method of accounting are deferred and recognized when the full accrual method of accounting criteria are met or by using the installment or deposit methods of profit recognition, as appropriate in the circumstances. As the assets are sold, their costs and related accumulated depreciation are written off with resulting gains or losses reflected in net income or loss. Estimated future costs to be incurred by us after completion of each sale are included in the determination of the gain on sales.

Notes Receivable

Notes receivable are primarily comprised of mortgage notes receivable that we have made in connection with sales of real estate assets. The notes receivable are recorded at fair value at the time of issuance. Discounts on notes receivable are accreted over the life of the related note receivable. Interest income is accrued as earned. Notes receivable are considered past due when a contractual payment is not remitted in accordance with the terms of the note agreement. On a quarterly basis, we evaluate the collectability of each mortgage note receivable on an individual basis based on various factors which may include payment history, expected fair value of the collateral and internal and external credit information. A loan is considered impaired when, based upon current information and events, it is probable that we will be unable to collect all amounts due under the existing contractual terms. When a loan is considered impaired, the amount of the loss accrual is calculated by comparing the carrying amount of the note receivable to the present value of expected future cash flows. Since the majority of our notes receivable are collateralized by a first mortgage, the loans have risk characteristics similar to the risks in owning commercial real estate.

Income Taxes

We have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the Code. To qualify as a REIT, we must meet a number of organizational and operational requirements, including a requirement to distribute at least 90% of our adjusted taxable income to our stockholders. Management intends to continue to adhere to these requirements and to maintain our REIT status. As a REIT, we are entitled to a tax deduction for some or all of the dividends we pay to shareholders. Accordingly, we generally will not be subject to federal income taxes as long as we currently distribute to shareholders an amount equal to or in excess of our taxable income. If we fail to qualify as a REIT in any taxable year, we will be subject to federal income taxes and may not be able to qualify as a REIT for four subsequent taxable years.

REIT qualification reduces, but does not eliminate, the amount of state and local taxes we pay. In addition, our financial statements include the operations of taxable corporate subsidiaries that are not entitled to a dividends paid deduction and are subject to corporate federal, state and local income taxes. As a REIT, we may also be subject to certain federal excise and franchise taxes if we engage in certain types of transactions. A benefit/provision has been made for federal, state and local income taxes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements. In accordance with FASB’s guidance, the total benefit/provision has been separately allocated to income (loss) from continuing operations, income (loss) from discontinued operations and gain (loss) on sale of real estate. The provision for excise and franchise taxes has been reflected in general and administrative expense in the consolidated statements of operations and has not been separately stated due to its insignificance.

During 2005, we recorded a $745 franchise tax reserve related to a potential state franchise tax assessment for the 1996-2001 tax years. During the year ended December 31, 2011, we received a refund from the state, representing amounts paid during 2006 related to the 1996-2001 tax years. Based on the refund received and discussions with the taxing authorities, as of December 31, 2011, management believes that it is unlikely that any franchise tax amounts will be assessed by the state for such tax years. As such, during the year ended December 31, 2011, we reversed $745 of franchise taxes. Franchise taxes are recorded within general and administrative expense.

Earnings Per Share (“EPS”)

Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) available to common shareholders by the sum of the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and any dilutive non-participating securities for the period. See Note 9 for further disclosure about EPS.

Derivative Financial Instruments

Historically, we have used interest rate protection agreements (“Agreements”) to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured notes or convert floating rate debt and preferred stock to fixed rate. Receipts or payments that result from the settlement of Agreements used to fix the interest rate on anticipated offerings of senior unsecured notes are amortized over the life of the derivative or the life of the debt and included in interest expense. Receipts or payments resulting from Agreements used to convert floating rate debt to fixed rate debt are recognized as a component of interest expense. Agreements which qualify for hedge accounting are marked-to-market and any gain or loss that is effective is recognized in other comprehensive income (shareholders’ equity). Agreements which do not qualify for hedge accounting are marked-to-market and any gain or loss is recognized in net income (loss) immediately. Amounts accumulated in other comprehensive income during the hedge period are reclassified to earnings in the same period during which the forecasted transaction or hedged item affects net income (loss). The credit risks associated with Agreements are controlled through the evaluation and monitoring of the creditworthiness of the counterparty. In the event that the counterparty fails to meet the terms of Agreements, our exposure is limited to the current value of the interest rate differential, not the notional amount, and our carrying value of Agreements on the balance sheet. See Note 14 for more information on Agreements.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Financial instruments other than our derivatives include tenant accounts receivable, net, notes receivable, accounts payable, other accrued expenses, mortgage and other loans payable, unsecured credit facility and senior unsecured notes. The fair values of the tenant accounts receivable, net, accounts payable and other accrued expenses approximate their carrying or contract values. See Note 6 for the fair values of the mortgage and other loans payable, unsecured credit facility and senior unsecured notes and see Note 4 for the fair value of our notes receivable.

Discontinued Operations

The FASB’s guidance on financial reporting for the disposal of long lived assets requires that the results of operations and gains or losses on the sale of property or property held for sale be presented in discontinued operations if both of the following criteria are met: (a) the operations and cash flows of the property have been (or will be) eliminated from the ongoing operations of the Company as a result of the disposal transaction and (b) we will not have any significant continuing involvement in the operations of the property after the disposal transaction. The guidance also requires prior period results of operations for these properties to be reclassified and presented in discontinued operations in prior consolidated statements of operations.

Segment Reporting

Management views the Company as a single segment based on its method of internal reporting.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2011, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-04, “Fair Value Measurements and Disclosures (Topic 820)—Amendments to Achieve Common Fair Value Measurement and Disclosure Requirements in U.S. GAAP and IFRS” (“ASU 2011-04”). ASU 2011-04 clarifies the application of existing fair value measurement requirements, changes certain principles related to measuring fair value and requires additional disclosures about fair value measurements. Specifically, the guidance provides that the concepts of highest and best use and valuation premise in a fair value measurement are only relevant when measuring the fair value of nonfinancial assets and are not relevant when measuring the fair value of financial assets and liabilities. Required disclosures are expanded under the new guidance, especially for fair value measurements that are categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, for which quantitative information about the unobservable inputs used, and a narrative description of the valuation processes in place and sensitivity of recurring Level 3 measurements to changes in unobservable inputs are required. Entities are also required to disclose the categorization by level of the fair value hierarchy for items that are not measured at fair value in the balance sheet but for which the fair value is required to be disclosed. ASU 2011-04 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2011, and is to be applied prospectively. The adoption of this guidance did not have a material impact on our financial statements.

Acquisitions

In 2010, we acquired three industrial properties comprising, in the aggregate, approximately 0.5 million square feet of GLA, including one industrial property purchased from the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture. The purchase price of these acquisitions totaled approximately $22,408, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial properties.

In 2011, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.7 million square feet of GLA through the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture (see Note 5). The gross agreed-upon fair value for the industrial property was $30,625, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial property. The acquisition was funded through the assumption of a mortgage loan, whose carrying value approximated fair market value, in the amount of $24,417 and a cash payment of $5,277 (85% of the net fair value of the acquisition). We accounted for this transaction as a step acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting. Due to the change in control that occurred, we recorded a gain during the year ended December 31, 2011 of $689 related to the difference between our carrying value and fair value of our equity interest on the acquisition date.

In 2012, we acquired one industrial property comprising approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA through the purchase of the 85% equity interest in one property from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture (see Note 5) and several land parcels. The gross agreed-upon fair value for the industrial property was $21,819, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the industrial property. The acquisition was funded through the assumption of a mortgage loan, which was subsequently paid off on the date of acquisition and whose carrying value approximated fair market value, in the amount of $12,026 and a cash payment of $8,324 (85% of the net fair value of the acquisition). We accounted for this transaction as a step acquisition utilizing the purchase method of accounting. Due to the change in control that occurred, we recorded a gain during the year ended December 31, 2012 of $776 related to the difference between our carrying value and fair value of our equity interest on the acquisition date. The purchase price of the land parcels was approximately $46,695, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition of the land parcels.

We value third party acquisitions and acquisitions of unconsolidated joint venture partner interests in industrial properties on a similar basis generally by applying an income capitalization approach. The fair value measurements are based on significant inputs not observable in the market and thus represent Level 3 measurements. The fair value estimates for each of the industrial properties acquired from our joint venture partner during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 were based on a capitalization rate of approximating 7.3% and 8.4%, respectively. The fair value measurements also include consideration of the fair market value of debt.

Intangible Assets (Liabilities) Subject To Amortization in the Period of Acquisition

The fair value at the date of acquisition of in-place leases, tenant relationships, above market leases and below market leases recorded due to the real estate property acquired for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, which is recorded as deferred leasing intangibles, is as follows:

Sales and Discontinued Operations

In 2010, we sold 13 industrial properties comprising approximately 1.1 million square feet of GLA and several land parcels. Gross proceeds from the sales of the 13 industrial properties and several land parcels were approximately $71,019. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $11,951, of which $11,092 is shown in discontinued operations. The 13 sold industrial properties and one land parcel that received ground rental revenues meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 13 sold industrial properties and one land parcel that received ground rental revenues are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the several land parcels that do not meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations are included in continuing operations.

In 2011, we sold 36 industrial properties comprising approximately 2.9 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Gross proceeds from the sales of the 36 industrial properties and one land parcel were approximately $86,643. Included in the 36 industrial properties sold is one industrial property totaling approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA that we transferred title to a lender in satisfaction of a non-recourse mortgage loan (See Note 6). The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $21,789, of which $20,419 is shown in discontinued operations. The 36 sold industrial properties meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 36 sold industrial properties are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the one land parcel that does not meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations are included in continuing operations.

In 2012, we sold 28 industrial properties comprising approximately 4.2 million square feet of GLA and one land parcel. Gross proceeds from the sales of the 28 industrial properties and one land parcel were approximately $85,561. The gain on sale of real estate was approximately $16,442, of which $12,665 is shown in discontinued operations. The 28 sold industrial properties meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations. Therefore the results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the 28 industrial properties sold are included in discontinued operations. The results of operations and gain on sale of real estate for the one land parcel that does not meet the criteria to be included in discontinued operations are included in continuing operations.

At December 31, 2012, we had three industrial properties comprising approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA held for sale. The results of operations of the three industrial properties held for sale at December 31, 2012 are included in discontinued operations. There can be no assurance that such industrial properties held for sale will be sold.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had notes receivable outstanding of approximately $41,201 and $55,502, net of a discount of $255 and $319, respectively, which are included as a component of Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net. At December 31, 2012 and 2011, the fair value of the notes receivable was $44,783 and $58,734, respectively. The fair value of our notes receivable was determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans with similar remaining maturities would be made to other borrowers. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated; therefore, we have concluded that our determination of fair value of our notes receivable was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs, as discussed below.

In 2009, we originated a note receivable with a purchaser of one of our industrial properties. During July 2012, we were notified that the sole tenant in the industrial property that serves as collateral for the note receivable filed for Chapter 7 bankruptcy. As of the date of this filing, the mortgagor is current on its loan payments and we are not aware of any information that would cause us to believe that the mortgagor will not pay us all amounts due on the note receivable. As of December 31, 2012, the note receivable had an outstanding principal balance of $7,660, offset by an unamortized discount of $255, resulting in a carrying value of $7,405.

On October 22, 2010, we amended our existing revolving credit facility. In conjunction with the amendment, management identified a pool of real estate assets to be classified as held for sale. At the time of the amendment, management reassessed the holding period for the pool of real estate assets and determined that certain of the industrial properties were impaired. The Company recorded an aggregate impairment charge (reversal) of $1,246, $(2,661) and $185,397 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The net impairment charges for assets that qualify to be classified as held for sale are calculated as the difference of the carrying value of the properties and land parcels over the fair value less costs to sell. On the date an asset no longer qualifies to be classified as held for sale, the carrying value must be reestablished at the lower of the estimated fair market value of the asset or the carrying value of the asset prior to held for sale classification, adjusted for any depreciation and amortization that would have been recorded if the asset had not been classified as held for sale. The net impairment charges recorded during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 are due to updated fair market values for certain industrial properties in the pool of real estate assets identified to be classified as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2010, whose estimated fair market values have changed since October 31, 2010 and were either sold or were classified as held for sale at December 31, 2011 and/or December 31, 2010, but no longer qualify to be classified as held for sale at December 31, 2012. Catch-up depreciation and amortization has been recorded during the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, if applicable, for certain assets that are no longer classified as held for sale.

In addition to the impairments recorded above, during the three months ended March 31, 2010, we recorded an impairment charge in the amount of $9,155 related to a property comprised of 0.3 million square feet of GLA located in Grand Rapids, Michigan in connection with the negotiation of a new lease.

The accounting guidance for the fair value measurement provisions for the impairment of long lived assets recorded at fair value establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions. The fair market values were determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analyses using expected cash flows, internal valuations of real estate and third party offers.

For operational real estate assets, the most significant assumptions used in the discounted cash flow analyses included the discount rate, projected occupancy levels, market rental rates, capital expenditures and the terminal capitalization rate. For the valuation of land parcels, we reviewed recent comparable sales transactions, to the extent available, or if not available, we considered older comparable transactions, adjusted upward or downward to reflect management’s assumptions about current market conditions. In all cases, members of our management team that were responsible for the individual markets where the land parcels were located determined the internal valuations. Valuations based on third party offers include bona fide contract prices and letter of intent amounts that we believe are indicative of fair value.

5. Investments in Joint Ventures

On May 16, 2003, we entered into the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture with an institutional investor to invest in industrial properties. We own a 15% equity interest in and provide property management services to the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture. As of December 31, 2012, the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture owned five industrial properties comprising approximately 2.7 million square feet of GLA. The 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture is considered a variable interest entity in accordance with the FASB guidance on the consolidation of variable interest entities. However, we continue to conclude that we are not the primary beneficiary of this venture. As of December 31, 2012, our investment in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture is $1,012. Our maximum exposure to loss is currently equal to our investment balance. We acquired the 85% equity interest in one property on February 13, 2012 and the 85% equity interest in another property on May 26, 2011, in each case from the institutional investor in the 2003 Net Lease Joint Venture (see Note 4).

During December 2007, we entered into the 2007 Europe Joint Venture with an institutional investor to invest in, own, develop, redevelop and operate industrial properties. We continue to hold our 10% equity interest in the 2007 Europe Joint Venture. As of December 31, 2012, the 2007 Europe Joint Venture did not own any properties.

On August 5, 2010, we sold our interests in the 2005 Development/Repositioning Joint Venture, the 2005 Core Joint Venture, the 2006 Land/Development Joint Venture and the 2007 Canada Joint Venture to our joint venture partner generating sale proceeds of approximately $5.0 million. We recorded an $11,226 gain related to the sale, which is included in Gain on Sale of Joint Venture Interests for the year ended December 31, 2010.

On March 21, 2006, we entered into the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program with an institutional investor to invest in industrial properties. We owned a 15% equity interest in and provided property management, asset management and leasing management services to the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program. Pursuant to the buy/sell provision in the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program’s governing agreement that our counterparty exercised on May 25, 2010, we sold our interest in the real estate property assets in the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program to our counterparty and received $4,541 in net proceeds. In connection with the sale, we wrote off our carrying value for the 2006 Net Lease Co-Investment Program and recorded an $852 gain, which is included in Equity in Income of Joint Ventures for the year ended December 31, 2010.

At December 31, 2012 and 2011, we have receivables from the Joint Ventures in the aggregate amount of $19 and $137, respectively. These receivable amounts are included in Prepaid Expenses and Other Assets, Net. During the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recognized fees of $516, $970 and $4,952, respectively, from our Joint Ventures.

For Mortgage Financings I through XIV and Mortgage Financings XVI through XXVI, principal prepayments are prohibited for 12 months after loan origination, after which prepayment premiums are calculated at the greater of yield maintenance or 1% of the outstanding balance. For Mortgage Financing XV, principal prepayments are prohibited until three months prior to maturity, but defeasance is allowed subject to certain conditions.

During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we paid off and retired prior to maturity mortgage loans payable in the amount of $14,112 and $62,662, respectively. In connection with these repurchases prior to maturity, we recognized $361 and $2,128 as loss from retirement of debt for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

Table of Contents

On September 20, 2011, we transferred title to a property totaling approximately 0.4 million square feet of GLA and an escrow balance in the amount of $1,845 to a lender in satisfaction of a $5,040 non-recourse mortgage loan. We recognized a $147 loss related to the transaction, which is included in loss from retirement of debt for the year ended December 31, 2011.

As of December 31, 2012, mortgage loans payable are collateralized by, and in some instances cross-collateralized by, industrial properties with a net carrying value of $949,557. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to mortgage loans payable as of December 31, 2012.

In connection with these repurchases prior to maturity, we recognized $9,323 and $2,012 as loss from retirement of debt for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively, which is the difference between the purchase price of $110,613 and $110,667, respectively, and the principal amount retired of $106,303 and $112,757, respectively, net of the pro rata write-off of the unamortized debt issue discount, the unamortized deferred financing costs, the unamortized settlement amount of the interest rate protection agreements and the professional services fees related to the repurchases of $598, $728, $3,247 and $440, respectively, and $135, $717, $3,250 and $0, respectively.

On September 15, 2011, we paid off and retired our 4.625% Notes due 2011, at maturity, in the amount of $128,900.

On April 16, 2012, we paid off and retired our 2012 Notes, at maturity, in the amount of $61,829.

The indentures governing our senior unsecured notes contain certain financial covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. We believe the Operating Partnership and the Company were in compliance with all covenants relating to senior unsecured notes as of December 31, 2012. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our noteholders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.

Unsecured Credit Facility

We have maintained an unsecured credit facility since 1997. During December 2011, we entered into a $450,000 unsecured revolving credit agreement (the “Unsecured Credit Facility”) which replaced our previous unsecured credit facility. We may request that the borrowing capacity under the Unsecured Credit Facility be increased to $500,000, subject to certain restrictions. We wrote off $1,172 of unamortized deferred financing costs reflected in Loss from Retirement of Debt for the year ended December 31, 2011 related to our previous unsecured credit facility. At December 31, 2012, the Unsecured Credit Facility provides for interest only payments at LIBOR plus 170 basis points or at a base rate plus 170 basis points, at our election. The margin on our LIBOR or base rate borrowings could increase based on our leverage ratio. The Unsecured Credit Facility matures on December 12, 2014, unless extended an additional one year at our election, subject to certain conditions. At December 31, 2012, borrowings under the Unsecured Credit Facility bore interest at a weighted average interest rate of 1.912%.

Table of Contents

The Unsecured Credit Facility contains certain financial covenants, including limitations on incurrence of debt and debt service coverage. Under the Unsecured Credit Facility, an event of default can also occur if the lenders, in their good faith judgment, determine that a material adverse change has occurred which could prevent timely repayment or materially impair our ability to perform our obligations under the loan agreement. We believe that we were in compliance with all covenants relating to the Unsecured Credit Facility as of December 31, 2012. However, these financial covenants are complex and there can be no assurance that these provisions would not be interpreted by our lenders in a manner that could impose and cause us to incur material costs.

The fair values of our mortgage and other loans payable were determined by discounting the future cash flows using the current rates at which similar loans would be made based upon similar leverage levels and similar remaining maturities. The current market rates we utilized were internally estimated; therefore, we have concluded that our determination of fair value for our mortgage and other loans payable was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the senior unsecured notes was determined by using rates, as advised by our bankers, that are based upon recent trades within the same series of the senior unsecured notes, recent trades for senior unsecured notes with comparable maturities, recent trades for fixed rate unsecured debt from companies with profiles similar to ours, as well as overall economic conditions. We have determined that our estimation of the fair value of fixed rate unsecured debt was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs. The fair value of the Unsecured Credit Facility was determined by discounting the future cash flows using current rates at which similar loans would be made to borrowers with similar credit ratings and for the same remaining term, assuming no repayment until maturity. The current market rate utilized for our Unsecured Credit Facility was internally estimated; therefore, we have concluded that our determination of fair value was primarily based upon Level 3 inputs.

7. Stockholders’ Equity

Preferred Stock

On May 27, 2004, we issued 50,000 Depositary Shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of our 6.236%, Series F Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Series F Preferred Stock”), at an initial offering price of $1,000.00 per Depositary Share. Dividends on the Series F Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date of initial issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears. The coupon rate of our Series F Preferred Stock resets every quarter at 2.375% plus the greater of (i) the 30 year Treasury constant maturity treasury (“CMT”) Rate, (ii) the 10 year Treasury CMT Rate or (iii) 3-month LIBOR. For the fourth quarter of 2012, the coupon rate was 5.285%. With respect to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series F Preferred Stock ranks senior to payments on our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series G Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined), Series J Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined) and Series K Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined). The Series F Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equivalent to $1,000.00 per Depositary Share, or $50,000 in the aggregate, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to the redemption date. The Series F Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not convertible into any other securities of the Company. In October 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement to mitigate our exposure to floating interest rates related to the forecasted reset rate of the coupon rate of our Series F Preferred Stock (see Note 14).

On May 27, 2004, we issued 25,000 Depositary Shares, each representing 1/100th of a share of our 7.236%, Series G Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Series G Preferred Stock”), at an initial offering price of $1,000.00 per Depositary Share. Dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock are cumulative from the date of initial issuance and are payable semi-annually in arrears for the period from the date of original issuance of the Series G Preferred Stock through March 31, 2014 (the “Series G Initial Fixed Rate Period”), commencing on September 30, 2004, at a rate of 7.236% per annum of the liquidation preference (the “Series G Initial Distribution Rate”) (equivalent to $72.36 per Depositary Share). On or after March 31, 2014, the Series G Initial Distribution Rate is subject to reset, at our option, subject to certain conditions and parameters, at fixed or floating rates and periods. Fixed rates and periods will be determined through a remarketing procedure. Floating rates during floating rate periods will equal 2.500% (the initial credit spread), plus the greater of (i) the 3-month LIBOR, (ii) the 10 year Treasury CMT Rate, and (iii) the 30 year Treasury CMT Rate, reset quarterly. Dividends on the Series G Preferred Stock are payable semi-annually in arrears for fixed rate periods subsequent to the Series G Initial Fixed Rate Period and quarterly in arrears for floating rate periods. With respect to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series G Preferred Stock ranks senior to payments on our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series F Preferred Stock, Series J Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined) and Series K Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined). On or after March 31, 2014, subject to any conditions on redemption applicable in any fixed rate period subsequent to the Series G Initial Fixed Rate Period, the Series G Preferred Stock is redeemable for cash at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equivalent to $1,000.00 per Depositary Share, or $25,000 in the aggregate, plus dividends accrued and unpaid to the redemption date. The Series G Preferred Stock has no stated maturity and is not convertible into any other securities of the Company.

On January 13, 2006, we issued 6,000,000 Depositary Shares, each representing 1/10,000th of a share of our 7.25%, Series J Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Series J Preferred Stock”), at an initial offering price of $25.00 per Depositary Share. The Series J Preferred Stock is redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at a cash redemption price of $25.00 per depositary share. Dividends on the Series J Preferred Stock, represented by the Depositary Shares, are cumulative from the date of initial issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears. However, during any period that both (i) the depositary shares are not listed on the NYSE or AMEX, or quoted on NASDAQ, and (ii) we are not subject to the reporting requirements of the Exchange Act, but the preferred shares are outstanding, we will increase the dividend on the preferred shares to a rate of 8.25% of the liquidation preference per year. With respect to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series J Preferred Stock ranks senior to payments on our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock and Series K Preferred Stock (hereinafter defined). We redeemed 2,000,000 Depositary Shares of the Series J Preferred Stock on December 21, 2012, at a redemption price of $25.00 per Depositary Share, and paid a prorated fourth quarter dividend of $0.407812 per Depositary Share, totaling $816. Due to the partial redemption of the Series J Preferred Stock, one-third of the initial offering costs associated with the issuance of the Series J Preferred Stock, as well as costs associated with the partial redemption, totaling $1,804 are reflected as a deduction from net loss to arrive at net loss available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders in determining earnings per share for the year ended December 31, 2012.

On August 21, 2006, we issued 2,000,000 Depositary Shares, each representing 1/10,000th of a share of our 7.25%, Series K Flexible Cumulative Redeemable Preferred Stock, $0.01 par value (the “Series K Preferred Stock”), at an initial offering price of $25.00 per Depositary Share. The Series K Preferred Stock is redeemable in whole or in part, at our option, at a cash redemption price of $25.00 per depositary share. Dividends on the Series K Preferred Stock, represented by the Depositary Shares, are cumulative from the date of initial issuance and are payable quarterly in arrears. With respect to the payment of dividends and amounts upon liquidation, dissolution or winding up, the Series K Preferred Stock ranks senior to payments on our Common Stock and pari passu with our Series F Preferred Stock, Series G Preferred Stock and Series J Preferred Stock.

The Company has 10,000,000 shares of preferred stock authorized. All series of preferred stock have no stated maturity (although we may redeem all such preferred stock on or following their optional redemption dates at our option, in whole or in part).

The following table summarizes the preferred shares outstanding at December 31, 2012 and 2011:

On May 4, 2010, we entered into distribution agreements with sales agents to sell up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock from time to time in “at-the-market” offerings (the “2010 ATM”). During the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued 5,469,767 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2010 ATM for approximately $44,117, net of $900 paid to the sales agent. On December 31, 2010, we concluded the 2010 ATM as a result of the expiration of the distribution agreements with our sales agents.

On February 28, 2011, we entered into distribution agreements with sales agents to sell up to 10,000,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, for up to $100,000 aggregate gross sale proceeds, from time to time in ATM offerings (the “2011 ATM”). During the year ended December 31, 2011, we issued 115,856 shares of the Company’s common stock under the 2011 ATM resulting in proceeds to us of approximately $1,391, net of $28 paid to the sales agent. On February 29, 2012, we terminated the 2011 ATM in preparation for the commencement of the 2012 ATM (defined hereafter).

On March 1, 2012, we entered into distribution agreements with sales agents to sell up to 12,500,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, for up to $125,000 aggregate gross sale proceeds, from time to time in ATM offerings (the “2012 ATM”).

Under the terms of the ATMs, sales were made primarily in transactions that were deemed to be “at-the-market” offerings, including sales made directly on the New York Stock Exchange or sales made through a market maker other than on an exchange or by privately negotiated transactions.

On August 8, 2008, the Company’s Dividend Reinvestment and Direct Stock Purchase Plan (“DRIP”) became effective. Under the terms of the DRIP, stockholders who participate may reinvest all or part of their dividends in additional common stock of the Company at a discount from the market price, at our discretion, when the shares are issued and sold directly by us from authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock. Stockholders and non-stockholders may also purchase additional shares at a discounted price, at our discretion, when the shares are issued and sold directly by us from authorized but unissued shares of the Company’s common stock, by making optional cash payments, subject to certain dollar thresholds. During the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, we did not issue any shares of the Company’s common stock under the direct stock purchase component of the DRIP. During the year ended December 31, 2010, we issued 875,402 shares of the Company’s common stock under the direct stock purchase component of the DRIP for approximately $5,970. The DRIP terminated effective June 9, 2012.

During the year ended December 31, 2010, 23,567 shares of common stock were awarded to certain directors. The common stock shares had a fair value of approximately $128 upon issuance.

Participating securities include 288,627, 673,381 and 662,092 of unvested restricted stock awards outstanding at December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 respectively, which participate in non-forfeitable dividends of the Company. Participating security holders are not obligated to share in losses, therefore, none of the net loss attributable to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. was allocated to participating securities for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

The number of weighted average shares—diluted is the same as the number of weighted average shares—basic for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010 as the effect of stock options and restricted unit awards (that do not participate in non-forfeitable dividends of the Company) was excluded as its inclusion would have been antidilutive to the loss from continuing operations available to First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.’s common stockholders.

A valuation allowance is recorded if we believe it is more likely than not that all or some portion of our deferred tax assets will not be realized. We do not have projections of future taxable income or other sources of taxable income in the taxable REIT subsidiaries significant enough to allow us to believe it is more likely than not that we will realize our deferred tax assets. Therefore, we have recorded a valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets. An increase or decrease in the valuation allowance that results from a change in circumstances, and which causes a change in our judgment about the realizability of the related deferred tax assets, is included in the current tax provision.

As of December 31, 2012 and 2011, we had net deferred tax liabilities of $169 and $120, after valuation allowances of $5,244 and $5,078, respectively. As of December 31, 2011 and 2010, we had net deferred tax (liabilities) assets of $(120) and $863, after valuation allowances of $5,078 and $9,301, respectively. The decrease in the valuation allowance of $4,223 from December 31, 2010 to December 31, 2011 is primarily related to a decrease in net deferred tax assets and liabilities due to the sales of property.

We evaluate tax positions taken in the financial statements on a quarterly basis under the interpretation for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes. As a result of this evaluation, we may recognize a tax benefit from an uncertain tax position only if it is “more-likely-than-not” that the tax position will be sustained on examination by taxing authorities. As of December 31, 2012, we do not have any unrecognized tax benefits.

We file income tax returns in the U.S., and various states and foreign jurisdictions. In general, the statutes of limitations for income tax returns remain open for the years 2009 through 2012. One of our taxable REIT subsidiaries which liquidated in September 2009 is currently under examination by the Internal Revenue Service (“IRS”) for 2008 and for the tax year ended September 1, 2009.

IRS Tax Settlement

On August 24, 2009, we received a private letter ruling from the IRS granting favorable loss treatment under Sections 331 and 336 of the Code on the tax liquidation of one of our former taxable REIT subsidiaries. On November 6, 2009, legislation was signed that allowed businesses with net operating losses for 2008 or 2009 to carry back those losses for up to five years. As a result, we received a refund from the IRS of $40,418 in the fourth quarter of 2009 (the “Refund”) in connection with this tax liquidation. As previously reported, the IRS examination team, which is required by statute to review all refund claims in excess of $2,000 on behalf of the Joint Committee on Taxation, indicated to us that it disagreed with certain of the property valuations we obtained from an independent valuation expert in support of our fair value of the liquidated taxable REIT subsidiary and our claim for the Refund. We have reached an agreement with the regional office of the IRS on a proposed adjustment to the Refund. The total agreed-upon adjustment to taxable income is approximately $13,700, which equates to approximately $4,806 of taxes owed. We must also pay accrued interest which was approximately $542 as of December 31, 2012. During the year ended December 31, 2012, the Company recorded a charge of $5,348 related to the agreed-upon adjustment which is reflected as a component of income tax expense. The settlement amount is subject to final review and approval by the Joint Committee on Taxation. There can be no assurance that the settlement amount will be approved at the level we currently anticipate, nor can we provide an estimate of the timing of the final approval.

In addition, we are currently in discussions with the regional office of the IRS to determine the timing of the impact of the proposed tax settlement on the tax characterization of the distributions to the limited partners of the Operating Partnership and the stockholders of the Company which is likely to result in additional capital gain income being allocable to the limited partners of the Operating Partnership and the stockholders of the Company.

Michigan Tax Issue

As of December 31, 2008, we had paid approximately $1,400 (representing tax and interest for the years 1997-2000) to the State of Michigan regarding business loss carryforwards the appropriateness of which was the subject of litigation initiated by us. On December 11, 2007, the Michigan Court of Claims rendered a decision against us regarding the business loss carryforwards. Also, the court ruled against us on an alternative position involving Michigan’s Capital Acquisition Deduction. We filed an appeal to the Michigan Appeals Court in January 2008; however, as a result of the lower court’s decision, an additional approximately $800 (representing tax and interest for the year 2001) had been accrued through June 30, 2009 for both tax and financial statement purposes. On August 18, 2009, the Michigan Appeals Court issued a decision in our favor on the business loss carryforward issue. The Michigan Department of Treasury appealed the decision to the Michigan Supreme Court on September 29, 2009; however, we believed there was a very low probability that the Michigan Supreme Court would accept the case. Therefore, in September 2009 we reversed our accrual of $800 (related to the 2001 tax year) and set up a receivable of $1,400 for the amount paid in 2006 (related to the 1997-2000 tax years), resulting in an aggregate reversal of prior tax expense of approximately $2,200. On April 23, 2010, the Michigan Supreme Court reversed the decision of the Michigan Appeals Court and reinstated the decision of the Michigan Court of Claims. Based on the most recent ruling of the Michigan Supreme Court, we reversed the receivable of $1,400 and paid approximately $800, for a total of approximately $2,200 of tax expense for the year ended December 31, 2010, which is included in continuing operations.

Federal Income Tax Treatment of Share Distributions

For income tax purposes, distributions paid to common shareholders are classified as ordinary income, capital gain, return of capital or qualified dividends. We did not pay common share distributions for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010.

For income tax purposes, distributions paid to preferred shareholders are classified as ordinary income, capital gain, return of capital or qualified dividends. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, the preferred distributions per depositary share were classified as follows:

13. Stock Based Compensation

We maintain five stock incentive plans (the “Stock Incentive Plans”) which are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. There are 11,500,000 shares authorized for issuance under the Stock Incentive Plans. Only officers, certain employees, our Independent Directors and our affiliates generally are eligible to participate in the Stock Incentive Plans.

The Stock Incentive Plans authorize (i) the grant of stock options that qualify as incentive stock options under Section 422 of the Code, (ii) the grant of stock options that do not so qualify, (iii) restricted stock/unit awards (including awards subject to performance conditions), and (iv) dividend equivalent rights. The exercise price of the stock options is determined by the Compensation Committee. Special provisions apply to awards granted under the Stock Incentive Plans in the event of a change in control in the Company. As of December 31, 2012, awards covering 1,376,144 shares of common stock were available to be granted under the Stock Incentive Plans.

In September 1994, the Board of Directors approved and we adopted a 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan. Under our 401(k)/Profit Sharing Plan, all eligible employees may participate by making voluntary contributions. We may make, but are not required to make, matching contributions. For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, matching contributions of $284, $197 and $194, respectively, were recorded.

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we awarded 565,137, 292,339 and 573,198 shares, respectively, of restricted stock awards to certain employees which had a fair value of approximately $7,065, $3,248 and $3,336, respectively, on the date of approval by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors and/or the Board of Directors. The restricted stock awards generally vest over a period of three to four years. Compensation expense will be charged to earnings over the vesting period for the shares expected to vest.

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recognized $8,559, $3,759 and $6,040 in restricted stock amortization related to restricted stock and unit awards, of which $32, $0 and $0, respectively, was capitalized in connection with development activities. At December 31, 2012, we had $3,282 in unrecognized compensation related to unvested restricted stock and unit awards. The weighted average period that the unrecognized compensation is expected to be recognized is 0.90 years.

14. Derivatives

Our objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense or preferred stock dividends and to manage our cash flow volatility and exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, we primarily use interest rate swaps as part of our interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.

Our Series F Preferred Stock is subject to a coupon rate reset. The coupon rate resets every quarter at 2.375% plus the greater of (i) the 30 year Treasury CMT Rate, (ii) the 10 year Treasury CMT Rate or (iii) 3-month LIBOR. For the fourth quarter of 2012, the new coupon rate was 5.285%. In October 2008, we entered into an interest rate swap agreement with a notional value of $50,000 to mitigate our exposure to floating interest rates related to the forecasted reset rate of the coupon rate of our Series F Preferred Stock (the “Series F Agreement”). This Series F Agreement fixes the 30-year U.S. Treasury rate at 5.2175%. Accounting guidance for derivatives does not permit hedge accounting treatment related to equity instruments and therefore the mark-to-market gains or losses related to this agreement are recorded in the statement of operations. For the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, losses of $328 and $1,718, respectively, are recognized as Mark-to-Market Loss on Interest Rate Protection Agreements. Quarterly payments are treated as a component of the mark-to-market gains or losses and totaled $1,169 and $574 for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively.

The effective portion of changes in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in Other Comprehensive Income (“OCI”) and is subsequently reclassified to earnings through interest expense over the life of the derivative or over the life of the debt. In the next 12 months, we will amortize approximately $2,421 into net income (loss) by increasing interest expense for interest rate protection agreements we settled in previous periods.

Our agreements with our derivative counterparties contain provisions where if we default on any of our indebtedness, then we could also be declared in default on our derivative obligations subject to certain thresholds.

The guidance for fair value measurement of financial instruments includes a three-tier fair value hierarchy, which prioritizes the inputs used in measuring fair value. These tiers include: Level 1, defined as observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets; Level 2, defined as inputs other than quoted prices in active markets that are either directly or indirectly observable; and Level 3, defined as unobservable inputs in which little or no market data exists, therefore requiring an entity to develop its own assumptions.

The following table sets forth our financial liabilities that are accounted for at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 31, 2012 and 2011:

The valuation of the Series F Agreement is determined using widely accepted valuation techniques including discounted cash flow analysis on the expected cash flows of the instrument. This analysis reflects the contractual terms of the agreements including the period to maturity. In adjusting the fair value of the interest rate protection agreements for the effect of nonperformance risk, we have considered the impact of netting and any applicable credit enhancements. To comply with the provisions of fair value measurement,

Table of Contents

we incorporated a credit valuation adjustment (“CVA”) to appropriately reflect both our own nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. However, assessing significance of inputs is a matter of judgment that should consider a variety of factors. One factor we consider is the CVA and its materiality to the overall valuation of the derivatives on the balance sheet and to their related changes in fair value. We consider the Series F Agreement to be classified as Level 3 in the fair value hierarchy due to a significant number of unobservable inputs. The Series F Agreement swaps a fixed rate 5.2175% for floating rate payments based on 30-year Treasury. No market observable prices exist for long-dated Treasuries. Therefore, we have classified the Series F Agreement in its entirety as a Level 3.

15. Commitments and Contingencies

In the normal course of business, we are involved in legal actions arising from the ownership of our industrial properties. In our opinion, the liabilities, if any, that may ultimately result from such legal actions are not expected to have a materially adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, operations or liquidity.

Seven properties have leases granting the tenants options to purchase the property. Such options are exercisable at various times at appraised fair market value or at a fixed purchase price in excess of our depreciated cost of the asset. We have no notice of any exercise of any tenant purchase option.

At December 31, 2012, we had an outstanding letter of credit and performance bonds in the aggregate amount of $9,546.

At December 31, 2012, we have committed to the development of three industrial buildings totaling approximately 1.5 million square feet of GLA. The estimated total construction costs as of December 31, 2012, are approximately $107,723 (unaudited). Of this amount, approximately $45,793 (unaudited) remains to be funded. There can be no assurance that the actual completion cost will not exceed the estimated completion cost stated above.

Ground and Operating Lease Agreements

For the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, we recognized $1,565, $1,955 and $3,047, respectively, in operating and ground lease expense.

Future minimum rental payments under the terms of all non-cancelable ground and operating leases under which we are the lessee as of December 31, 2012 are as follows:

 

2013

    $ 2,090   

2014

2015

      1,673   

2016

16. Subsequent Events

From January 1, 2013 to February 28, 2013, we sold one industrial property and one land parcel for approximately $2,565. Additionally, we acquired one land parcel for a purchase price of $6,250, excluding costs incurred in conjunction with the acquisition.

From January 1, 2013 to February 28, 2013, we repurchased and retired $4,000 of our senior unsecured notes maturing in 2028 for a payment of $4,565.

The Board of Directors approved a first quarter 2013 common dividend of $0.085 per share/unit for shareholders of record on March 29, 2013 with a payable date of April 15, 2013. The effective record date will be March 28, 2013 as March 29, 2013 is a New York Stock Exchange holiday. The Board of Directors also approved a first quarter 2013 preferred dividend of $0.45313 per depositary share related to both the Series J and the Series K Preferred Stock for preferred stockholders of record on March 15, 2013, a first quarter 2013 preferred dividend of $13.3125 per depositary share related to the Series F Preferred Stock for preferred stockholders of record on March 29, 2013 and a first quarter 2013 preferred dividend of $36.18 per depositary share related to the Series G Preferred Stock for preferred stockholders of record on March 29, 2013. All first quarter 2013 preferred dividends are payable on April 1, 2013.

Exhibit 10.46

FIRST INDUSTRIAL REALTY TRUST, INC.

[            ] STOCK INCENTIVE PLAN

RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT

THIS RESTRICTED STOCK AWARD AGREEMENT (“Award Agreement”) is effective as of [            ], 201[    ] (the “Grant Date”), by and between First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. (the “Company”) and Bruce W. Duncan (the “Grantee”).

WHEREAS, the Company maintains the First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc. [DATE] Stock Incentive Plan, as amended (the “Plan”), which is incorporated into and forms a part of this Award Agreement;

WHEREAS, the Grantee has been selected by the Committee to receive an award of Restricted Stock under the Plan; and

WHEREAS, this Award Agreement is subject to the terms of the Plan and capitalized terms not otherwise defined herein have the meanings ascribed to such terms in the Plan.

NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the premises and mutual covenants contained herein, and for other good and valuable consideration, the Company and the Grantee hereby agree, freely and with full knowledge and consent, as follows:

1. Grant. The Company hereby grants to the Grantee [            ] “Covered Shares” of Restricted Stock pursuant to the Plan (“Award”), where each Covered Share represents the right of the Grantee to enjoy, subject to the terms and conditions set forth in this Award Agreement and the Plan, one (1) share of Stock free of restrictions once the Restricted Period ends. The Covered Shares are granted as of the Grant Date.

2. Vesting.

(a) The “Restricted Period” for each installment of Covered Shares set forth in the table immediately below (each, an “Installment”) shall begin on the Grant Date and end as described in the table immediately below:

 

Installment

   

Restricted Period shall end on:

33.33% of Covered Shares

    [DATE]

33.33% of Covered Shares

    [DATE]

33.33% of Covered Shares

    [DATE]

(b) Upon the consummation of a Change in Control Event prior to the Grantee’s Termination of Service, the Restricted Period for all the Covered Shares shall cease and such Covered Shares shall become fully vested as of the effective date of the Change in Control Event.

(c) Notwithstanding the foregoing provisions of this Section 2, the Restricted Period for all the Covered Shares shall cease immediately and such Covered Shares shall become fully vested immediately upon the Grantee’s Termination of Service due to the Grantee’s Disability or the Grantee’s death.

(d) If before the expiration of one or more Restricted Periods, the Grantee’s Termination of Service occurs for any reason, other than due to termination by the Company for Cause (which shall be covered by paragraph (e) below) or due to the Grantee’s death or Disability (which shall be covered by paragraph (c) above), then the Grantee shall continue to vest in Covered Shares in accordance with the schedule set forth in (a) above, subject to the Grantee’s compliance in all material respects with Section 9(b), (c) and (d) of the Employment Agreement, provided that solely for purposes of applying this Section 2(d), the Restrictive Period shall be extended by one (1) additional year to a period of two (2) years.

(e) If prior to the expiration of one or more Restricted Periods, (1) the Grantee’s Termination of Service occurs due to termination by the Company for Cause, or (2) after the Grantee’s Termination of Service occurs for any reason the Grantee violates the Restrictive Covenants of Section 9(b), (c), and (d) of the Employment Agreement, then the Grantee shall forfeit all right, title and interest in and to any Installment(s) still subject to a Restricted Period as of such Termination of Service.

3. Share Delivery. Delivery of Stock or other amounts under this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be subject to the following:

(a) To the extent that this Award Agreement and the Plan provide for the issuance of Stock, such issuance may be effected on a non-certificated basis, to the extent not prohibited by applicable law or the applicable rules of any securities exchange or similar entity.

(b) Notwithstanding any other term of this Award Agreement or the Plan, the Company shall have no obligation to deliver any Stock or make any other distribution of benefits under this Award Agreement or the Plan unless such delivery or distribution complies with all applicable laws and the applicable rules of any securities exchange or similar entity.

4. Dividends. The Grantee shall be entitled to receive dividends and distributions paid on any Installment during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that no dividends or distributions shall be payable to or for the benefit of the Grantee with respect to record dates for such dividends or distributions occurring before the Grant Date or on or after the date, if any, on which the Grantee has forfeited the respective Covered Shares.

5. Voting Rights. The Grantee shall be entitled to vote the Covered Shares during the Restricted Period; provided, however, that the Grantee shall not be entitled to vote Covered Shares with respect to record dates occurring before the Grant Date or on or after the date, if any, on which the Grantee has forfeited the respective Covered Shares.

6. Registration of Restricted Stock Award. All Stock issued with respect to Covered Shares shall be registered in the name of the Grantee.

7. Corporate Transactions. To the extent permitted under Section 409A of the Code, if applicable, in the event of a corporate transaction involving the Company or the shares of Stock of the Company (including any stock dividend, stock split, extraordinary cash dividend, recapitalization, reorganization, merger, consolidation, split-up, spin-off, combination or exchange of shares), this Award shall automatically be adjusted to proportionately and uniformly reflect such transaction (but only to the extent that such adjustment will not affect the status of this Award intended to qualify as “performance-based compensation” under Section 162(m) of the Code, if applicable); provided, however, that the Committee may otherwise adjust this Award (or prevent such automatic adjustment) as it deems necessary, in its sole discretion, to preserve the benefits or potential benefits of this Award and the Plan.

8. Transferability. This Award shall be fully transferrable by the Grantee, but the Grantee shall remain subject to an obligation to deliver to the Company the full number of shares, or an amount of cash equal to the after-tax value, after taking into account all available deductions, of the then fair market value of the shares, that are not vested on the date such shares would otherwise have been forfeited pursuant to Section 2. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the Grantee agrees to hold during the Employment Period the number of shares having an aggregate value on the Grant Date equal to the after-tax value, as determined on the Grant Date, of the shares subject to this Award.

9. Withholding. The Grantee shall make appropriate arrangements with the Company, consistent with the provisions of Section 12 of the Plan, for satisfaction of any applicable tax withholding requirements, or similar requirements, arising out of this Award Agreement.

10. Administration. The authority to manage and control the operation and administration of this Award Agreement and the Plan shall be vested in the Committee, and the Committee shall have all powers with respect to this Award Agreement as it has with respect to the Plan. Any interpretation of this Award Agreement or the Plan by the Committee and any decision made by it with respect to this Award Agreement or the Plan shall be final and binding on all persons.

11. Plan Governs. Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, this Award Agreement shall be subject to the terms of the Plan, a copy of which may be obtained by the Grantee from the office of the Secretary of the Company; and this Award Agreement shall be subject to all interpretations, amendments, rules and regulations promulgated by the Committee from time to time pursuant to the Plan. Notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any discrepancies between the Plan and this Award Agreement, the Plan shall control. Further notwithstanding anything in this Award Agreement to the contrary, in the event of any discrepancies between the corporate records of the Company and this Award Agreement, the corporate records shall control.

12. Not an Employment Contract. The grant of this Award shall not confer on the Grantee any right with respect to continuance of service with the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary, nor shall such grant confer any right to future grants of Restricted Stock, or any other awards in lieu thereof, while employed by the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary. The

grant shall not interfere in any way with the right of the Company or any Affiliate or Subsidiary to terminate the Grantee’s service at any time.

13. Validity. If any provision of this Award Agreement is determined to be illegal or invalid for any reason, said illegality or invalidity shall not affect the remaining parts hereof, but this Award Agreement shall be construed and enforced as if such illegal or invalid provision had never been included herein.

14. References. References herein to rights and obligations of the Grantee shall apply, where appropriate, to the Grantee’s legal representative or estate without regard to whether specific reference to such legal representative or estate is contained in a particular provision of this Award Agreement.

15. Notice. Any notice required or permitted to be given under this Award Agreement shall be in writing and shall be deemed to have been given when delivered personally or by courier, or sent by certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested, duly addressed to the party concerned at the address indicated below or to such changed address as such party may subsequently by similar process give notice of:

 

If to the Company:

   

First Industrial Realty Trust, Inc.

311 South Wacker Drive, Suite 3900

Chicago, Illinois 60606

Attn: John Lee, General Counsel

If to the Grantee:

    At the most recent address on file at the Company.

16. Counterparts. This Award Agreement may be executed in counterparts, each of which shall constitute one and the same instrument.

17. Amendment. This Award Agreement may be amended in accordance with the provisions of the Plan, and may otherwise be amended by written agreement of the Grantee and the Company without the consent of any other person.

18. Governing Law. This Award Agreement shall be governed by and construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Illinois without reference to the principles of conflict of laws, except to the extent such law is preempted by federal law.

19. Data Privacy. The Grantee agrees to the collection, use, processing and transfer (collectively, the “Use”) of certain personal data such as the Grantee’s name, salary, job title, and position evaluation rating, along with details of all past awards and current awards outstanding and awarded under the Plan or otherwise (collectively, the “Data”), for the purpose of administering the Plan, a copy of which the Grantee acknowledges having received and understood. The Grantee further acknowledges and agrees that the Company and its Affiliates and Subsidiaries may make Use of the Data amongst themselves and/or with any other third parties assisting the Company in the administration of the Plan (collectively, the “Data Recipients”). The Grantee hereby further authorizes any Data Recipients, including any Data Recipients located in foreign jurisdictions, to continue to make Use of the Data, in electronic or other form, for the purposes of administering the Plan, including without limitation, any

necessary Use of such Data as may be required for the subsequent holding of Stock on the Grantee’s behalf by a broker or other third party with whom the Grantee may elect to deposit any Stock acquired through the Plan or otherwise. The Company shall, at all times, take all commercially reasonable efforts to ensure that appropriate safety measures shall be in place to ensure the confidentiality of the Data, and that no Use shall be made of the Data for any purpose other than the administration of the Plan. The Grantee may, at any time, review his or her Data and request necessary amendments to such Data. The Grantee may withdraw consent to the Use of the Data herein by notifying the Company in writing; provided, however, that because the Data is essential to the Company’s ability to administer the Plan and to assess employee admissibility under the Plan, by withdrawing consent to the Use of the Data, the Grantee may affect his or her eligibility to participate in the Plan. The Grantee hereby releases and forever discharges the Company from any and all claims, demands, actions, causes of action, damages, liabilities, costs, losses and expenses arising out of, or in connection with, the Use of the Data for purposes of administering the Plan, including without limitation, any and all claims for invasion of privacy, infringement of the Grantee’s right of publicity, defamation and any other personal, moral and/or property rights.

20. Clawback Policy Prior to a Change in Control. This Award, and any amount or benefit received hereunder shall be subject to potential cancellation, recoupment, rescission, payback or other action in accordance with the terms of any applicable Company clawback policy, as it may be amended from time to time (the “Policy”) and any applicable law. The Grantee’s acceptance of this Award constitutes the Grantee’s acknowledgment of and consent to the Company’s application, implementation and enforcement of (a) the Policy or any similar policy established by the Company that may apply to the Grantee and (b) any provision of applicable law relating to cancellation, rescission, payback or recoupment of compensation, as well as the Grantee’s express agreement that the Company may take such actions as are necessary to effectuate the Policy, any similar policy (as applicable to the Grantee) or applicable law, without further consideration or action, it being understood and agreed that this Section 20 shall not apply after a Change in Control Event.
