PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. General:
Business. ProLogis, collectively with our consolidated subsidiaries (we, our, us, the
Company or ProLogis), is a publicly held real estate investment trust (REIT) that owns,
operates and develops (directly and through our unconsolidated investees) primarily industrial
distribution properties in North America, Europe and Asia. Our business consists of three
reportable business segments: (i) property operations; (ii) investment management; and (iii) CDFS
business. Our property operations segment represents the direct long-term ownership of industrial
distribution and retail properties. Our investment management segment represents the long-term
investment management of property funds and the properties they own. Our CDFS business segment
primarily encompasses our development or acquisition of real estate properties that are generally
contributed to a property fund in which we have an ownership interest and act as manager, or sold
to third parties. See Note 12 for further discussion of our business segments.
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying consolidated financial statements, presented in the
U.S. dollar, are prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles
(GAAP). GAAP requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of
assets and liabilities, disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the
financial statements and revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Our actual results could
differ from those estimates and assumptions. All material intercompany transactions with
consolidated entities have been eliminated.
The accompanying unaudited interim financial information has been prepared according to the
rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain
information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in
accordance with GAAP have been condensed or omitted in accordance with such rules and regulations.
Our management believes that the disclosures presented in these financial statements are adequate
to make the information presented not misleading. In our opinion, all adjustments and eliminations,
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to present fairly our financial position
as of March 31, 2008 and our results of operations and cash flows for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007 have been included. The results of operations for such interim periods are not
necessarily indicative of the results for the full year. The accompanying unaudited interim
financial information should be read in conjunction with our December 31, 2007 Consolidated
Financial Statements, as filed with the SEC in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as amended.
Certain amounts included in the accompanying consolidated financial statements for 2007 have
been reclassified to conform to the 2008 financial statement presentation.
Adoption of New Accounting Pronouncements. In September 2006, the Financial Accounting
Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 157, Fair
Value Measurements (SFAS 157). SFAS 157 defines fair value, establishes a framework for
measuring fair value in accordance with GAAP and expands disclosures about fair value measurements.
SFAS 157 applies to other accounting pronouncements that require or permit fair value measurements
but does not require any new fair value measurements. In February 2008, the FASB issued FASB Staff
Position No. FAS 157-2, Effective Date of FASB Statement No.157 (FSP FAS 157-2), that delays
the effective date of SFAS 157s fair value measurement requirements for nonfinancial assets and
liabilities that are not required or permitted to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.
The adoption of SFAS 157 for financial assets and liabilities, as of January 1, 2008, did not have
a material impact on our financial position and results of operations. Fair value measurements
identified in FSP FAS 157-2 will be effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. We
are currently assessing the impact of SFAS 157 for nonfinancial assets and liabilities on our
financial position and results of operations.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements. In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 141R, Business
Combinations (SFAS 141R) and SFAS No. 160,
Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements An Amendment of ARB No. 51 (SFAS 160). SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 require most
identifiable assets, liabilities, noncontrolling interests, and goodwill acquired in a business
combination to be recorded at full fair value and require noncontrolling interests (previously
referred to as minority interests) to be reported as a
7
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
component of equity, which changes
the accounting for transactions with noncontrolling interest holders. The provisions of SFAS 141R
and SFAS 160 are effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009. SFAS 141R will be
applied to business combinations occurring after the effective date and SFAS 160 will be applied
prospectively to all changes in noncontrolling interests, including any that existed at the
effective date. We are currently assessing what impact the adoption of SFAS 141R and SFAS 160 will
have on our financial position and results of operations.
In March 2008, the FASB issued SFAS No. 161, Disclosures about Derivative Instruments and
Hedging Activities an amendment of FASB Statement No. 133 (SFAS 161). SFAS 161 requires
enhanced disclosures related to derivatives and hedging activities. SFAS 161 will require
disclosures relating to: (i) how and why an entity uses derivative instruments; (ii) how derivative
instruments and related hedge items are accounted for under SFAS No. 133, Accounting for
Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities; and (iii) how derivative instruments and related
hedged items affect an entitys financial position, financial performance and cash flows. SFAS 161
must be applied prospectively and will be effective for our fiscal year beginning January 1, 2009,
although early adoption is allowed. We are currently assessing what impact the adoption of SFAS 161
will have on our financial statements.
The FASB has issued proposed FASB Staff Position No. APB-14a, Accounting for Convertible Debt
Instruments That May Be Settled in Cash upon Conversion (Including Partial Cash Settlement) (the
proposed FSP) that would require, if ratified, separate accounting for the debt and equity
components of convertible instruments. The proposed FSP would require that the value assigned to
the debt component would be the estimated fair value of a similar bond without the conversion
feature, which would result in the debt being recorded at a discount. The resulting debt discount
would be amortized over the period during which the debt is expected to be outstanding (i.e.,
through the first optional redemption date) as additional non-cash interest expense. The proposed
FSP, if ratified in its current form, would be effective January 1, 2009 and would be applied
retrospectively to both new and existing convertible instruments, including the convertible notes
that we issued in March 2007 and November 2007, and would result in us recognizing additional
non-cash interest expense of between $55.8 million and $67.1 million per annum. At its March 26,
2008 meeting, the FASB reaffirmed the guidance of the proposed FSP and directed the staff to begin
the balloting process for a final FSP, which is expected to be issued in its final form in May
2008.
2. Mergers and Acquisitions:
In February 2007, we purchased the industrial business and made a 25% investment in the retail
business of Parkridge Holdings Limited (Parkridge), a European developer. The total purchase
price was $1.3 billion, which was financed with $733.9 million in cash, $339.5 million of equity (4.8 million common shares valued for accounting purposes at $71.01 per
share) and the remainder through the assumption of debt and other liabilities. The cash portion of the
acquisition was funded with borrowings under our global senior credit facility (Global Line) and
a new multi-currency senior unsecured facility.

In our CDFS business segment, as further discussed in Note 12, we develop and acquire real
estate properties primarily with the intent to contribute the properties to various property funds in which we have an
ownership interest and act as manager. Upon contribution of properties to a property fund, we
realize a portion of the profits from our CDFS activities while at the same time allowing us to
maintain a long-term ownership interest in our CDFS properties. This business strategy also
provides liquidity to fund our future development activities and enhances future fee income. We
generally receive ownership interests in the property funds (based on our pre-contribution interest) as part of the proceeds generated by
the contributions of properties. The property funds generally
own operating properties that we have contributed to them, although certain of the property funds
have also acquired properties from third parties. We recognize our proportionate share of the
earnings or losses of each property fund, earn fees for acting as the manager, and earn additional
fees by providing other services including, but not limited to, acquisition, development,
construction management, leasing and financing activities. We may also earn incentive performance
returns based on the investors returns over a specified period.

We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all of the properties we develop and
stabilize in Canada and the United States to the North American Industrial Fund, subject to
the property meeting certain leasing and other criteria. The North American Industrial Fund
has equity commitments, which expire in February 2009, aggregating approximately $1.4 billion
from third party investors, of which $671.3 million was unfunded at March 31, 2008. In
addition, we are committed to make additional capital contributions in cash of $23.5 million
through February 2009 as the fund acquires assets, primarily from us. During the three months
ended March 31, 2008, we contributed nine CDFS properties for aggregate proceeds of $203.8
million to the North American Industrial Fund. In connection with the contribution, we
advanced the property fund $7.5 |

million that bears interest at the London Interbank Offered
Rate (LIBOR) plus a margin (3.7% at March 31, 2008) and is expected to be repaid in the
second quarter of 2008. For the three months ended March 31, 2008, this property fund had
$49.0 million of revenues and $290,000 of both income from continuing operations and net
income. |

This property fund was formed in July 2007 through our acquisition of a previously existing
property fund. |

We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all of the properties we develop and
stabilize in Mexico, and in certain circumstances properties we acquire, to ProLogis Mexico
Industrial Fund, subject to the property meeting certain leasing and other criteria. ProLogis
Mexico Industrial Fund made its first acquisitions in September 2007 and has equity
commitments of $500.0 million from third party investors, which expire August 2010, of which
$311.3 million was unfunded at March 31, 2008. During the three months ended March 31, 2008,
we contributed two CDFS properties to this property fund for aggregate proceeds of $27.7
million, including one property that was part of a portfolio of properties acquired in 2006
with the intent to contribute at, or slightly above, our cost. In April 2008, we loaned this
property fund $66.8 million to repay bridge financing that matured. The loan bears interest at
LIBOR plus a margin and is expected to be repaid in the second quarter of 2008 when the
property fund completes its permanent financing. |

|
Our ownership interest in ProLogis European Properties Fund II (PEPF II), which made its
first acquisition in September 2007, is 24.5%, which includes a 17.0% direct interest and a
7.5% indirect interest. Our indirect interest is due to our 24.9% investment in PEPR, which
owns approximately 30.0% of PEPF II. We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all
of the properties we develop and stabilize in Europe, and in certain circumstances properties
we acquire, to PEPF II, subject to the property meeting certain leasing and other criteria.
PEPF II has equity commitments from PEPR and third party investors of
2.5 billion ($3.9
billion as of March 31, 2008), which expire in August 2010, of which 1.9 billion ($2.9
billion as of March 31, 2008) was unfunded at March 31, 2008. During the three months ended
March 31, 2008, we contributed 27 properties for aggregate proceeds of $777.2 million. This
includes three stabilized properties that were part of a portfolio of properties we acquired
in February 2007 as part of the Parkridge transaction, as discussed in Note 2, with the intent
to contribute to a new property fund at, or slightly above, our cost. In connection with
contributions we made in 2007, we advanced PEPF II 25.2 million, which was repaid in the
first quarter of 2008. |

|
We are committed to offer to contribute all of the properties that we develop and stabilize
in Japan through September 2010 to ProLogis Japan Properties Fund II, subject to the property
meeting certain leasing and other criteria. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we
contributed three properties to this property fund for aggregate proceeds of $332.0 million
and the property fund acquired one property from a third party. ProLogis Japan Properties Fund
II has an equity commitment of $1.0 billion from our fund partner, which was increased in
February 2008 from $600.0 million. This commitment, under which $300.7 million was unfunded at
March 31, 2008, expires in September 2010. |

We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all of the properties we develop and
stabilize in South Korea, and in certain circumstances properties we acquire, to ProLogis
Korea Fund, which made its first acquisition in July 2007, subject to the property meeting
certain leasing and other criteria. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, the property
fund acquired four properties from third parties. ProLogis Korea Fund has an equity commitment
from our fund partner of $200.0 million that expires in June 2010, of which $121.1 million was
unfunded at March 31, 2008. |

The unconsolidated property funds that we manage, and in which we have an equity ownership,
may enter into interest rate swap contracts that are designated as cash flow hedges to
mitigate interest expense volatility associated with movements of interest rates for future
debt issuances. In 2007, certain of the property funds in North America issued short-term
bridge financing to finance their acquisitions of properties from us and third parties. Based
on the anticipated refinancing of the bridge financings with long-term debt issuances, certain
of these derivative contracts no longer met the requirements for hedge accounting and,
therefore, the change in the fair value of these contracts was recorded through earnings,
along with the gain or loss on settlement of certain contracts, during the first quarter of
2008. Included in net earnings (losses) from North America for 2008 is $58.7 million, which
represents the losses recognized from the change in value and settlement of these contracts.
We included our proportionate share of these losses of $21.3 million in Earnings (Losses) from
Unconsolidated Property Funds in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive
Income. |
|
|
|
The property funds in North America have the following interest rate swap contracts outstanding
at March 31, 2008 (amounts are for the entire entity, not our proportionate share, and are in
thousands): |

We have recorded our proportionate share of the losses of the North America funds related to
the instruments that qualify for hedge accounting, including the outstanding contracts in the
above table, of $38.8 million in Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Shareholders
Equity. Once these contracts are settled, the amount of the gain or loss upon settlement that
is recorded by the property funds in other comprehensive income will be amortized over the life
of the hedged debt issuance. As discussed above, for the contracts that did not qualify for
hedge accounting, we recognized our share of the losses in earnings. We guarantee our
proportionate share of the ProLogis North American Industrial Fund III contracts. |
|
|
|
In Japan, the property funds may enter into swap contracts that fix the interest rate of their
variable rate debt. As these contracts do not qualify for hedge accounting, any change in
value of these contracts is recognized as an unrealized gain or loss in earnings over the term
of the contract. These contracts have no cash settlement at the end of the contract. Included in net earnings (losses) from Asia for 2008 is $51.7 million, which
represents the losses recognized on these contracts. We included our proportionate share of
these losses of $10.3 million in Earnings (Losses) from Unconsolidated Property Funds in our
Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. |

As of December 31, 2007 and March 31, 2008, we had not guaranteed any of the third party debt
of the property funds. |

Represents our weighted average ownership interest in all property funds based on each

|
(4) |
|
The difference between our ownership interest of the property funds equity and our
investment balance results principally from three types of transactions: (i) deferring a
portion of the gains we recognize from a contribution of one of our properties to a property
fund as a result of our continuing ownership in the property (see below); (ii) recording
additional costs associated with our investment in the property fund; and (iii) advances to
the property funds. |
|
(5) |
|
This amount is recorded as a reduction to our investment and represents the gains that
were deferred when we contributed a property to a property fund due to our continuing
ownership in the property. |
CDFS joint ventures and other unconsolidated investees
At March 31, 2008, we had investments in entities that perform some of our CDFS business
activities (the CDFS joint ventures) and certain other investments. These joint ventures include
entities that develop and own distribution and retail properties and also include entities that
perform land and mixed-use development activity. The other operating joint ventures primarily
include entities that own a hotel property and office properties.
The amounts we have recognized as our proportionate share of the earnings (losses) from our
investments in CDFS joints ventures and other unconsolidated investees are summarized as follows

4. Long-Term Compensation:
We recognized $7.8 million and $8.9 million of share-based compensation expense for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. This includes expense related to awards granted
to our outside trustees and is net of $3.3 million and $2.5 million in 2008 and 2007, respectively,
that was capitalized due to our development and leasing activities. The share-based compensation
expense recognized in 2008 and 2007 also includes $1.7 million and $4.2 million, respectively, of
expense related to accelerated vesting or a change in service period for share options and awards
of employees who terminated employment with us or gave notice of future termination of employment.
Our long-term incentive plans provide for grants of share options, stock appreciation rights,
full value awards and cash incentive awards to employees and other persons, including outside
trustees. The full value awards include restricted share units (RSUs) and contingent performance
shares (CPSs).

During the first quarter of 2008, we issued two separate awards of CPSs to our Chief
Executive Officer. These awards will be earned, to the extent vested, based upon the
attainment of specified levels of total shareholder return over the performance period, which
ends December 31, 2012, and may result in the issuance of zero to 300,000 shares. |
5. Income Taxes:
We and one of our consolidated subsidiaries have elected to be taxed as a REIT under the
Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended, (the Code), and are not generally required to pay
federal income taxes if we make distributions in excess of taxable income and meet the REIT
requirements of the Code. We have elected taxable
13
PROLOGIS
NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (continued)
(Unaudited)
REIT subsidiary (TRS) status for some of our
consolidated subsidiaries, which operate primarily in the CDFS business segment. This allows us to
provide services that would otherwise be considered impermissible for REITs. Many of the foreign
countries where we have operations do not recognize REITs or do not accord REIT status under their
respective tax laws to our entities that operate in their jurisdiction. In the United States, we
are taxed in certain states in which we operate. Accordingly, we recognize income tax expense for
the federal and state income taxes incurred by our TRSs, taxes incurred in certain states and
foreign jurisdictions and interest and penalties, if any, associated with our unrecognized tax
benefit liabilities.
Deferred income tax expense is generally a function of the periods temporary differences, the
utilization of tax net operating losses generated in prior years that had been previously
recognized as deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities related to
indemnification agreements for contributions to certain property funds.
For federal income tax purposes, certain acquisitions have been treated as tax-free
transactions resulting in a carry-over basis for tax purposes. For financial reporting purposes and
in accordance with purchase accounting, we record all of the acquired assets and liabilities at the
estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. For our TRSs, we recognize the deferred income
tax liabilities that represent the tax effect of the difference between the tax basis carried over
and the fair value of the tangible assets at the date of acquisition. As taxable income is
generated in these subsidiaries, we recognize a deferred income tax benefit in earnings as a result
of the reversal of the deferred income tax liability previously recorded at the acquisition date
and we record current income tax expense representing the entire current income tax liability. Any
increases or decreases to the deferred income tax liability recorded in connection with these
acquisitions, related to tax uncertainties acquired, will be reflected as an adjustment to
goodwill.
Indemnification Agreements
We have indemnification agreements related to most property funds operating outside of the
United States for the contribution of certain properties. We enter into agreements whereby we
indemnify the funds, or our fund partners, for taxes that may be assessed related to the capital
gains associated with the step up in the value of the underlying real estate assets when we
contribute to these funds.
The ultimate outcome under these agreements is uncertain as it is dependent on the method and
timing of dissolution of the related property fund or disposition of any properties by the property
fund. Two of our previous agreements were terminated without any amounts being due or payable by
us. We consider the probability, timing and amounts in estimating our potential liability under the
agreements, which we have estimated as $31.3 million and $15.5 million at March 31, 2008 and
December 31, 2007, respectively. We continue to monitor these agreements and the likelihood of the
sale of assets that would result in recognition of a liability. We will adjust the potential
liability in the future as facts and circumstances dictate.
6. Discontinued Operations:
At March 31, 2008, we did not have any properties classified as held for sale and as of
December 31, 2007, we had two properties that were classified as held for sale that were
subsequently sold in the first quarter of 2008. The operations of the properties held for sale or
disposed of to third parties during the first quarter of 2008 and the full year of 2007, including
land subject to ground leases, and the aggregate net gains recognized upon their disposition are
presented as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive
Income for all periods presented. Interest expense is included in discontinued operations only if
it is directly attributable to these properties.

7. Distributions and Dividends:
Common Share Distributions
Cash distributions of $0.5175 per common share for the first quarter of 2008 were paid on
February 29, 2008, to holders of common shares of record on February 15, 2008. Quarterly common
share distributions paid in 2008 are based on the annual distribution level for 2008 of $2.07 per
common share (as compared to $1.84 per common share in 2007) set by our Board of Trustees (Board)
in December 2007. The payment of common share distributions is subject to the discretion of the
Board and is dependent upon our financial condition and operating results, and may be adjusted at
the discretion of the Board during the year.
Preferred Share Dividends
The annual dividends on our cumulative redeemable preferred shares are $4.27 per share (Series
C) and $1.6875 per share (Series F and Series G). For the first quarter of 2008, we paid quarterly
dividends of $1.0675 per share (Series C) and $0.4219 per share (Series F and Series G). Such
dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the last day of March, June, September and December.
Dividends on preferred shares are payable when, and if, they have been declared by the Board, out
of funds legally available for the payment of dividends.
8. Earnings Per Common Share:
We determine basic earnings per share based on the weighted average number of common shares
outstanding during the period. We determine diluted earnings per share based on the weighted
average number of common shares outstanding combined with the incremental weighted average effect
from all outstanding potentially dilutive instruments.

Our Global Line commitment fluctuates in U.S. dollars based on the underlying currencies and
was $3.9 billion at March 31, 2008. The funds may be drawn in U.S. dollar, euro, Japanese yen,
British pound sterling, Chinese renminbi, South Korean won and Canadian dollar. The weighted
average interest rate represents the weighted average interest rates using local currency rates on
borrowings outstanding at the end of the period. In addition, we also have other credit facilities
that, when combined with the Global Line, provide available capacity to borrow approximately $1.2
billion at March 31, 2008. This includes available borrowing under a multi-currency senior
unsecured facility that we entered into in connection with the Parkridge acquisition discussed in
Note 2.

12. Business Segments:
We have three reportable business segments:
|
|
|
Property operations representing the direct long-term ownership of industrial
distribution and retail properties. Each operating property is considered to be an
individual operating segment having similar economic characteristics that are combined
within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. Included in this segment are
properties we developed and properties we acquired and rehabilitated or repositioned within
the CDFS business segment with the intention of contributing the property to a property
fund or selling to a third party. The costs of our property management function for both
our direct-owned portfolio and the properties owned by the property funds and managed by us
are all reported in rental expenses in the property operations segment. Our operations in
the property operations business segment are in North America (Canada, Mexico and the
United States), Europe (the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, Poland,
Romania, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and Asia (China, Japan, and South
Korea). |
|
|
|
|
Investment management representing the long-term investment management of property
funds and the properties they own. We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings or
losses from our investments in unconsolidated property funds. Along with the income recognized under the equity method, we include fees
earned for services performed on behalf of the property funds, interest earned on advances
to the property funds and incentives earned based on investors returns. We utilize our
leasing and property management expertise to manage the properties and the funds, and we
report the costs as part of rental expenses in the property operations segment. Each
investment in a property fund is considered to be an individual operating segment having
similar economic characteristics that are combined within the reportable segment based upon
geographic location. Our operations in the investment management segment are in North
America (Canada, Mexico and the United States), Europe (Belgium, the Czech Republic,
France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden, and the
United Kingdom), and Asia (Japan and South Korea). |
|
|
|
|
CDFS business primarily encompasses our development of real estate properties that are
subsequently contributed to a property fund in which we have an ownership interest and act
as manager, or sold to third parties. Additionally, we acquire properties with the intent
to rehabilitate and/or reposition the property in the CDFS business segment prior to
contributing to a property fund. The proceeds and related costs of these dispositions are
presented as Developed and Repositioned Properties in the Consolidated Statements of
Earnings and Comprehensive Income. In addition, we occasionally acquire a portfolio of
properties with the intent of contributing the portfolio to an existing or future property
fund. The proceeds and related costs of these dispositions are presented as Acquired
Property Portfolios in the Consolidated Statements of Earnings and Comprehensive Income. We
also have investments in several unconsolidated entities that perform development
activities and we include our proportionate share of their earnings or losses in this
segment. Additionally, we include fees earned for development activities performed on
behalf of customers or third parties, interest income earned on notes receivable related to
asset sales to third parties and gains on the disposition of land parcels, including land
subject to ground leases. The separate activities in this segment are considered to be
individual operating segments having similar economic characteristics that are combined
within the reportable segment based upon geographic location. Our CDFS business segment
operations are in North America (Canada, Mexico and the United States), in Europe (Belgium,
the Czech Republic, France, Germany, Hungary, Italy, the Netherlands, Poland, Romania,
Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and the United Kingdom) and in Asia (China, Japan and South Korea). |
We have other operating segments that do not meet the threshold criteria to disclose as a
reportable segment, primarily the management of land subject to ground leases in the United States.
Each ground lease is considered to be an individual operating segment.
The assets of the CDFS business segment generally include our properties under development,
land held for development and investments in and advances to CDFS joint ventures. During the period
between the completion of development, rehabilitation or repositioning of a property and the date
the property is contributed to a property

(Unaudited)
fund or sold to a third party, the property and its
associated rental income and rental expenses are included in the property operations segment
because the primary activity associated with the property during that period is leasing. Upon
contribution or sale, the resulting gain is included in the income of the CDFS business segment.
The assets of the investment management segment include our investments in and advances to the
unconsolidated property funds.
We generally present the operations and net gains associated with properties sold to third
parties as discontinued operations. Accordingly, these amounts are excluded from the segment
presentation. See Note 6.
Reconciliations are presented below for: (i) each reportable business segments revenue from
external customers to our total revenues; (ii) each reportable business segments net operating
income (loss) from external customers to our earnings before minority interest; and (iii) each
reportable business segments assets to our total assets. Our chief operating decision makers rely
primarily on net operating income and similar measures to make decisions about allocating resources
and assessing segment performance. The applicable components of our revenues, earnings before
minority interest and total assets are allocated to each reportable business segments revenues,
net operating income (loss) and assets. Items that are not directly assignable to a segment, such
as certain corporate income and expenses, are reflected as reconciling items. The following
reconciliations are presented in thousands:

million and $8.4 million, respectively, in accumulated other comprehensive income related
to foreign currency translation and derivative activity. |
|
|
|
|

in connection with the adoption of the provisions of FASB Interpretation No. 48,
Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes An Interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109. |
The amount of interest paid in cash, net of amounts capitalized, for the three months ended

The foreign currency put option contracts are paid in full at execution and are related to
our operations in Europe and Japan. The put option contracts provide us with the option to
exchange euros, pounds sterling and yen for U.S. dollars at a fixed exchange rate such that,
if the euro, pound sterling or yen were to depreciate against the U.S. dollar to predetermined
levels as set by the contracts, we could exercise our options and mitigate our foreign
currency exchange losses. |
|
|
|
These contracts generally do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment and are marked-to-market
through earnings at the end of each period. We recognized no gains or losses and a net loss of
$0.1 million in earnings for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |
|

|
The foreign currency forward contracts were designed to manage the foreign currency
fluctuations of intercompany loans denominated in a currency other than the entitys
functional currency and not deemed to be a long-term investment. The foreign currency forward
contracts allowed us to sell pounds sterling and euros at a fixed exchange rate to the U.S.
dollar. These contracts were not designated as hedges, were marked-to-market through earnings
and were substantially offset by the remeasurement gains and losses recognized on the
intercompany loans. We had no forward contracts related to intercompany loans outstanding at
March 31, 2008. We recognized net losses of $3.2 million and $2.8 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |

In March 2008, we entered into interest rate swap contracts with an aggregate notional amount
of $250.0 million. All of these contracts were designated as cash flow hedges, qualified for
hedge accounting treatment and allowed us to fix a portion of the interest rate associated
with the anticipated issuance of senior notes. In March 2007, in connection with the issuance
of convertible notes, we unwound contracts that we entered into earlier in the quarter and
recognized a decrease in value of $1.4 million associated with these contracts in other
comprehensive income in shareholders equity and began amortizing as an increase to interest
expense as interest payments are made on the convertible notes. |
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
Effective January 1, 2008, we adopted SFAS 157, which defines fair value based on the price
that would be received to sell an asset or the exit price that would be paid to transfer a
liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. SFAS 157
establishes a fair value hierarchy that prioritizes observable and unobservable inputs used to
measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy consists of three broad levels, which are described
below:
|
|
|
Level 1 Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that
the entity has the ability to access. |
|
|
|
|
Level 2 Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1, such as
quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets; quoted prices for
identical or similar assets and liabilities in markets that are not active; or other
inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data. |
|
|
|
|
Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and
that are significant to the fair value of the assets and liabilities. This includes
certain pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies and similar techniques that
use significant unobservable inputs. |
Our derivative contracts are the only assets and liabilities that are measured and recognized
at fair value using the SFAS 157 hierarchy. The derivative contracts use the Level 2 hierarchy
and are recorded in Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses in our Consolidated Balance Sheets for
$8.9 million as of March 31, 2008.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Trustees and Shareholders
ProLogis:
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheet of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of
March 31, 2008, the related consolidated statements of earnings and comprehensive income, and
statements of cash flows for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. These
consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of ProLogis management.
We conducted our review in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States). A review of interim financial information consists principally of applying
analytical procedures and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial and accounting
matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit conducted in accordance with the standards
of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the objective of which is the
expression of an opinion regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do
not express such an opinion.
Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the
consolidated financial statements referred to above for them to be in conformity with U.S.
generally accepted accounting principles.
We have previously audited, in accordance with standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight
Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheet of ProLogis and subsidiaries as of December
31, 2007, and the related consolidated statements of earnings, shareholders equity and
comprehensive income, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented herein); and in our
report dated February 27, 2008, we expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial
statements. In our opinion, the information set forth in the accompanying consolidated balance
sheet as of December 31, 2007, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in relation to the
consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

ITEM 2. Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our Consolidated Financial
Statements and the related notes included in Item 1 of this report and our 2007 Annual Report on
Form 10-K, as amended, Form 10-K.
Certain statements contained in this discussion or elsewhere in this report may be deemed
forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of
1995 and Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933 and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act
of 1934. Words and phrases such as expects, anticipates, intends, plans, believes,
seeks, estimates, designed to achieve, variations of such words and similar expressions are
intended to identify such forward-looking statements, which generally are not historical in nature.
All statements that address operating performance, events or developments that we expect or
anticipate will occur in the future including statements relating to rent and occupancy growth,
development activity and changes in sales or contribution volume of developed properties, general
conditions in the geographic areas where we operate and the availability of capital in existing or
new property funds are forward-looking statements. These statements are not guarantees of future
performance and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
Although we believe the expectations reflected in any forward-looking statements are based on
reasonable assumptions, we can give no assurance that our expectations will be attained and
therefore, actual outcomes and results may differ materially from what is expressed or forecasted
in such forward-looking statements. Some of the factors that may affect outcomes and results
include, but are not limited to: (i) national, international, regional and local economic climates;
(ii) changes in financial markets, interest rates and foreign currency exchanges rates; (iii)
increased or unanticipated competition for our properties; (iv) risks associated with acquisitions;
(v) maintenance of real estate investment trust (REIT) status; (vi) availability of financing and
capital; (vii) changes in demand for developed properties; and (viii) those additional factors
discussed in Item 1A. Risk Factors of our Form 10-K. Unless the context otherwise requires, the
terms we, us and our refer to ProLogis and our consolidated subsidiaries.
Managements Overview
We are a self-administered and self-managed REIT that operates a global network of real estate
properties, primarily industrial distribution properties. The primary business drivers continue to
be the need for greater distribution network efficiency and the continued growth in global trade.
Our focus on our customers expanding needs has enabled us to become the worlds largest owner,
manager and developer of industrial distribution properties.
Our business is organized into three reportable business segments: (i) property operations;
(ii) investment management; and (iii) development or CDFS business. Our property operations segment
represents the direct long-term ownership of distribution and retail properties. Our investment
management segment represents the long-term investment management of property funds and the
properties they own. Our CDFS business segment primarily encompasses our development or acquisition
of real estate properties that are subsequently contributed to a property fund in which we have an
ownership interest and act as manager, or sold to third parties.
We generate and seek to increase revenues, earnings, funds from operations (FFO), as defined
below, and cash flows through our segments primarily as follows:
|
|
Property Operations Segment We earn rent from our customers, including reimbursements of
certain operating costs, under long-term operating leases in the distribution and retail
properties that we own directly. We expect to grow our revenue through the selective
acquisition of properties and increases in rental rates and, to a limited extent, increases in
occupancy rates in our existing properties. Our strategy is to achieve increases in rental
rates and occupancy primarily through continued focus on our customers global needs for
distribution space on the three continents in which we operate. |
|
|
Investment Management Segment We recognize our proportionate share of the earnings or
losses from our investments in unconsolidated property funds. Along with the income recognized
under the equity method, we recognize fees and incentives earned for services performed on
behalf of the property funds and interest earned on advances to the property funds. We earn
fees for services provided to the property funds, such as property management, asset
management, acquisition, financing, leasing and development fees. We may earn incentives
|
25
|
|
based
on the return provided to our fund partners. We expect growth in income recognized to come
from newly created property funds and growth in existing property funds. The growth in the
existing property funds is expected to come primarily from additional properties the funds
will acquire, generally from us, and increased rental revenues in the property funds due, in
part, to the leasing and property management efforts we provide as manager of the properties. |
|
|
|
CDFS Business Segment We recognize income primarily from the contributions of developed,
rehabilitated and repositioned properties and acquired portfolios of properties to the
property funds and from dispositions to third parties. In addition, we: (i) earn fees from our
customers or other third parties for development activities that we perform on their behalf;
(ii) recognize interest income on notes receivable related to asset dispositions or
development for third parties; (iii) recognize net gains from the disposition of land parcels,
including land subject to ground leases; and (iv) recognize our proportionate share of the
earnings or losses generated by development joint ventures in which we have an investment. We
expect growth in income in this segment to come primarily from the continued development of
high-quality distribution and retail properties in our key markets in North America, Europe
and Asia, resulting in the contribution to property funds or sale to third parties. |
Summary of the three months ended March 31, 2008
Although net operating income from our property operations segment decreased to $168.8 million
for the three months ended March 31, 2008 from $183.1 million for the same period in 2007, the
fundamentals of our business continued to be strong in 2008. The decrease was largely due to us
owning a smaller operating portfolio during the first three months of 2008 over the same period in
2007 and an increase in insurance and other rental expenses, including certain amounts that are not
recoverable from our customers, offset partially by an increase in same store net operating income
(as defined below) for these assets. The increase in insurance expense of $6.0
million was due to a tornado that struck certain properties in Memphis, Tennessee
in February 2008 that were owned by us and owned by the property funds and insured by us through
our insurance company. In addition, rental expenses have increased due to the increased size of the
portfolios we manage on behalf of the property funds. Our direct-owned operating portfolio
decreased due to the timing of contributions and dispositions of properties offset by the acquisition and
development of properties, resulting in a direct-owned operating portfolio of 1,409 properties at
March 31, 2008 as compared with 1,493 properties at March 31,
2007.
Our net operating income from the investment management segment was $10.9 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008, compared to $40.6 million for the same period in 2007. In the
first quarter of 2008, we recognized $31.6 million that represented our share of losses recognized
on certain interest rate swap contracts (see Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in
Item 1). Excluding these losses, net operating income from this segment increased $1.9 million, or
4.7%, due primarily to an increase in the number of properties managed by us on behalf of the
property funds, including several new property funds that were formed in the last half of 2007.
We increased our total operating portfolio of distribution and retail properties owned or
managed, including direct-owned properties, and properties owned by the property funds and industrial CDFS
joint ventures, to 473.7 million square feet at March 31, 2008 from 459.5 million square feet at
December 31, 2007. This increase is primarily in the portfolio of properties owned by the property
funds due to contributions of properties from us and acquisitions from third parties. Our
stabilized leased percentage (as defined below) was 94.6% at March 31, 2008, compared with 95.6% at
December 31, 2007. Our same store net operating income increased by 3.3% in the first three months
of 2008 over the same period in 2007. See below for a reconciliation of our consolidated rental
income and rental expenses to same store net operating income.
Net operating income of the CDFS business segment increased for the three months ended March
31, 2008 to $283.8 million from $238.5 million for the same period in 2007. This increase of 19.0%
was due primarily to increased levels of contributions brought about by increased development and
investment management activity. During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we started
development on projects with a total expected cost at completion of $884.4 million and completed
development projects with a total expected cost of $871.2 million. We believe our strong
development and consistent leasing activity of new developments, along with access to capital
through the property funds, will continue to support our contribution activity to the property
funds.

Key Transactions in 2008
|
|
|
In the first three months of 2008, we generated aggregate proceeds of $1.4 billion
and recognized aggregate gains of $281.9 million from contributions and dispositions of
properties, net of amounts deferred, as follows: |
|
o |
|
We generated $1.3 billion of proceeds and $278.1 million of gains from
the contributions of CDFS developed and repositioned properties and sales of land.
This is net of the deferral of $76.8 million of gains related to our ongoing
ownership in the property funds that acquired the properties. This also includes
one property sold to a third party that was developed under a pre-sale agreement. |
|
|
o |
|
We contributed acquired CDFS property portfolios at cost generating
$83.3 million of proceeds. We acquired these portfolios of properties in 2007 and
2006 with the intent to contribute them to a new or existing property fund at, or
slightly above, our cost. |
|
|
o |
|
We disposed of three non-CDFS properties to third parties, all of which
are included in discontinued operations, generating proceeds of $37.1 million and
$3.8 million of gains. |
|
|
|
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we acquired an aggregate 4.0 million
square feet of operating properties with a combined purchase price of $138.3 million.
These properties were primarily acquired for future contribution to a property fund,
although we may hold certain properties for long-term investment. |
|
|
|
|
We started development on projects with a total expected cost at completion of
$884.4 million and completed development projects with a total expected cost of $871.2
million. We also acquired 836 acres of land (or land use rights) for future development
for an aggregate purchase price of $372.1 million. |
|
|
|
|
We generated $88.7 million from the issuance of 1.6 million common shares under our
Continuous Equity Offering Plan. |
Results of Operations
Three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007

The decrease in net earnings in 2008 from 2007 is primarily due to the recognition of our
share of losses from the property funds due to interest rate contracts (see Note 3 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1) and foreign currency exchange losses on the
remeasurement of intercompany loans, offset by increased gains on contributions of CDFS properties
to property funds.
In the discussion that follows, we present the results of operations by reportable business
segment. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for further description of
our segments.
Portfolio Information
Our total operating portfolio of properties includes distribution and retail
properties owned by us and distribution properties owned by the property funds and CDFS joint
ventures. Our operating portfolio also includes properties that were developed or acquired in our
CDFS business segment and are pending contribution to a property fund or disposition to a third
27
party. The operating portfolio does not include properties under development or any other
properties owned by the CDFS joint ventures, other than distribution properties, and was as follows

Only includes distribution properties owned by the CDFS joint ventures. We include our
wholly owned CDFS properties in the property operations segment (see above). |
The stabilized operating properties owned by us, the property funds and CDFS joint ventures
were 94.6% leased at March 31, 2008, 95.6% leased at December 31, 2007 and 95.4% leased at March
31, 2007. The stabilized properties are those properties where the capital improvements,
repositioning efforts, new management and new marketing programs for acquisitions or the marketing
programs in the case of newly developed properties, have been completed and in effect for a
sufficient period of time to achieve stabilization. A property generally enters the stabilized pool
at the earlier of 12 months from acquisition or completion or when it becomes substantially
occupied, which we generally define as 93.0%.
Same Store Analysis
We evaluate the operating performance of the operating properties we own and manage using a
same store analysis because the population of properties in this analysis is consistent from
period to period, thereby eliminating the effects of changes in the composition of the portfolio on
performance measures. We include properties owned by us, and properties owned by the property funds
and industrial CDFS joint ventures and managed by us, in our same store analysis. We have defined
the same store portfolio, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, as those operating properties
that were in operation at January 1, 2007 and have been in operation throughout the full periods in
both 2008 and 2007. We have removed all properties that were disposed of to a third party from the
population for both periods. We believe the factors that impact rental income, rental expenses and net
operating income in the same store portfolio are the same as for the total portfolio. In order to
derive an appropriate measure of period-to-period operating performance, we remove the effects of
foreign currency exchange rate movements by using the current exchange rate to translate from local
currency into US dollars, for both periods, to derive the same store results. The same store
portfolio, for the three months ended March 31, 2008, aggregated 2,217 buildings containing 378.1
million square feet.
The following is a reconciliation of our consolidated rental income and rental expenses, as
included in our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1, to net operating income of the same
store portfolio. See Note 12 to such financial statements for a reconciliation of net operating
income for our business segments to earnings before minority interests.

Rental income in the same store portfolio includes straight-line rents and rental
recoveries, as well as base rent. We exclude the net termination and renegotiation fees from our
same store rental income to allow us to evaluate the growth or decline in each propertys rental
income without regard to items that are not indicative of the propertys recurring operating
performance. Net termination and renegotiation fees represent the gross fee negotiated to allow a
customer to terminate or renegotiate their lease, offset by the write-off of the asset recognized
due to the adjustment to straight-line rents over the lease term. The adjustments to remove these
items are included as effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other in the tables above. |
|

|
Rental expenses in the same store portfolio include the direct operating expenses of the
property such as property taxes, insurance, utilities, etc. In addition, we include an allocation
of the property management expenses for our direct-owned properties based on the property
management fee that is provided for in the individual management agreements under which our wholly
owned management company provides property management services to each property (generally, the fee
is based on a percentage of revenues). On consolidation, the management fee income earned by the
management company and the management fee expense recognized by the properties are eliminated and
the direct costs of providing property management services are recognized as part of our
consolidated rental expenses. These include the costs to manage the properties we own directly and
the properties owned by our unconsolidated affiliates. These expenses fluctuate based on the level
of properties included in the same store portfolio and any adjustment is included as effect of changes in
foreign currency exchange rates |

|
and other in the above table. In addition, in the three months ended March 31, 2008, we
recognized a $6.0 million increase in insurance expense due to a tornado that struck certain
properties owned by us and the property funds, which we insure through our insurance company. This
amount is included as effect of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and other in the tables above. |
Operational Outlook
Changes in economic conditions will generally affect customer leasing decisions and absorption
of new distribution properties. Growth in global trade continues to support our market
fundamentals, which in turn, support the leasing activity in our global development pipeline.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008, in our total operating portfolio, including
properties owned by our unconsolidated investees and managed by us, we executed 26.5 million square
feet of leases. This includes 6.6 million square feet of initial leasing activity in new
developments and repositioned acquisitions, resulting in our stabilized portfolio being 94.6%
leased at March 31, 2008. We consider our stabilized portfolio to be
substantially occupied and, therefore, do not expect our overall leased percentage to increase much
above the current level. Market rental rates are increasing in many of our markets and we have
experienced positive rental rate growth, in the aggregate, for the past eight quarters. As a
result, we expect to continue to see increasing rents in most of our markets and we expect
absorption of available space in our global development pipeline to continue to be healthy in 2008.
An important fundamental to our long-term growth is repeat business with our global customers.
Historically, approximately half of the space leased in our newly developed properties is with
repeat customers (36.1% for first quarter 2008).
Property Operations Segment
The net operating income of the property operations segment consists of rental income and
rental expenses from the distribution and retail operating properties that we own directly. The
costs of our property management function for both our direct-owned portfolio and the properties
owned by the property funds are all reported in rental expenses in the property operations segment.
The rental income and expenses of operating properties that we developed or acquired in the CDFS
business segment are included in the property operations segment during the interim period from the
date of completion or acquisition through the date the properties are contributed or sold. See Note
12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for a reconciliation of net operating income
to earnings before minority interest. The net operating income from the property operations
segment, excluding amounts presented as discontinued operations in our Consolidated Financial
Statements, was as follows (in thousands):

The number and composition of operating properties that we own throughout the periods and the
timing of contributions impact rental income and rental expenses for each period. The property
operations segment includes the rental income and expenses of those properties, during the time we
owned them in our direct owned portfolio. When a property is contributed to a property fund, we
begin reporting our share of the earnings of the property under the equity method in the investment
management segment. However, the overhead costs incurred by us to provide the management services
to the property fund continue to be reported as part of rental expenses.
Overall, our direct owned portfolio was smaller in the first quarter of 2008 as compared with
the first quarter of 2007 due to the timing of contributions, which were weighted toward the last
three quarters of 2007. The increases in rental income and rental expenses in 2008 over 2007, are
due to increases in the same store properties we own directly and rental expense recoveries. Under
the terms of our lease agreements, some or all of our rental expenses are recovered from customers.
These rental expense recoveries of $59.8 million and $47.4 million for the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, are included in rental income and offset some of the increases in
rental expenses. The increases in rental expense recoveries were driven by increased property taxes
and common area maintenance items. Also, included in rental expenses are certain non-recoverable
items such as bad debt expense and an increase to insurance expense, which was due to a $6.0
million adjustment made in the first
30
quarter of 2008 due to a tornado that struck certain properties owned by us and owned by the
property funds and insured by us through our insurance company. The increase in the number of
properties under management has also contributed to the increase in rental expenses.
Investment Management Segment
The net operating income of the investment management segment consists of: (i) earnings or
losses recognized under the equity method from our investments in the property funds; (ii) fees and
incentives earned for services performed on behalf of the property funds; and (iii) interest earned
on advances to the property funds, if any. The net earnings or losses of the property funds may
include the following income and expense items of the property funds, in addition to rental income
and rental expenses: (i) interest income and interest expense; (ii) depreciation and amortization
expenses; (iii) general and administrative expenses; (iv) income tax expense; (v) foreign currency
exchange gains and losses; and (vi) gains on dispositions of properties. The fluctuations in income
we recognize in any given period are generally the result of: (i) variances in the income and
expense items of the property funds; (ii) the size of the portfolio and occupancy levels in each
period; (iii) changes in our ownership interest; and (iv) fluctuations in foreign currency exchange
rates at which we translate our share of net earnings to U.S. dollars, if applicable. The costs of
the property management function performed by us for the properties owned by the property funds are
reported in the property operations segment and the costs of the investment management function are
included in our general and administrative expenses. See Notes 3 and 12 to our Consolidated
Financial Statements in Item 1 for additional information on the property funds and for a
reconciliation of net operating income to earnings before minority interest.

Represents the income earned by us from our investments in property funds in North America.
We had interests in 12 and 10 funds at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Our ownership
interests ranged from 20% to 50.0% at March 31, 2008. These property funds on a combined
basis owned 778 and 540 properties at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Included in 2008
are losses of $21.3 million, which represent our proportionate share of losses that were
recognized by certain of the property funds, related to interest rate contracts that no
longer met the requirements for hedge accounting. |

PEPR and PEPF II. On a combined basis, these funds owned 315 and 292 properties at March 31,

and 24.5%, respectively at March 31, 2008. Our ownership interest in PEPF II is due to our
direct ownership interest of 17.0% and our indirect 7.5% interest through our ownership in
PEPR, which owns a 30% interest in PEPF II. |

Represents the income earned by us from our 20% ownership interest in two property funds in
Japan and one property fund in South Korea. These property funds on a combined basis owned 74
and 33 properties at March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. Included in 2008 are losses of
$10.3 million, which represent the change in value that was recorded through earnings on
certain interest rate contracts that do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment. These contracts
have no cash settlement at the end of the contract, but the fair value may have fluctuations during the term
of the contract. |
CDFS Business Segment
Net operating income from the CDFS business segment consists of: (i) gains resulting from the
contributions and dispositions of properties, generally developed by us or acquired with the intent
to contribute to an existing or new property fund; (ii) gains from the dispositions of land
parcels, including land subject to ground leases; (iii) fees earned for development services
provided to customers and third parties; (iv) interest income earned on notes receivable related to
property dispositions or development; (v) our proportionate share of the earnings or losses of
31
CDFS joint ventures; and (vi) certain costs associated with the potential acquisition of CDFS
business assets and land holding costs. See Note 12 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in
Item 1 for a reconciliation of net operating income to earnings before minority interest.
For the three months ended March 31, 2008, our net operating income in this segment was $283.8
million as compared to $238.5 million for the same period in 2007, an increase of $45.3 million.
The increase was due, primarily, to a higher level of contributions in 2008, as compared to 2007,
as well as a strengthening of the yen and euro to U.S. dollars. In 2008 and 2007, 12.3% and 15.1%
of the net operating income of this operating segment was generated in North America, 46.6% and
32.1% was generated in Europe and 41.1% and 52.8% was generated in Asia, respectively.

During the three months ended March 31, 2008, we contributed 37 developed and repositioned
properties to the property funds (10 in North America, 24 in Europe and three in Japan) and
we contributed four properties that were part of acquired property portfolios to the property
funds (one in North America and three in Europe). This compares with 2007 when we contributed
23 developed and repositioned buildings to the property funds (six in North America, 15 in
Europe and two in Japan). In addition, we recognized net gains of $2.6 million and $77.9
million from the disposition of land parcels during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
2007, respectively. |
|
(2) |
|
When we contribute a property to an entity in which we have an ownership interest, we do
not recognize a portion of the proceeds in our computation of the gain resulting from the
contribution. The amount of the proceeds that we defer is based on our continuing ownership
interest in the contributed property that arises due to our ownership interest in the entity
acquiring the property. We defer this portion of the proceeds by recognizing a reduction to
our investment in the applicable unconsolidated investee. We adjust our proportionate share
of the earnings or losses that we recognize under the equity method in later periods to
reflect the entitys depreciation expense as if the depreciation expense was computed on our
lower basis in the contributed property rather than on the entitys basis in the contributed
property. If a loss results when a property is contributed, the entire loss is recognized
when it is known. |
|
|
|
When a property that we originally contributed to an unconsolidated investee is disposed of
to a third party, we recognize a gain during the period that the disposition occurs related
to the proceeds we had previously deferred, in addition to our proportionate share of the
gain or loss recognized by the entity. Further, during periods when our ownership interest
in a property fund decreases, we recognize gains to the extent that proceeds were previously
deferred to coincide with our new ownership interest in the property fund. |

|
In 2008, includes an adjustment to a sale made in a previous period and in 2007 includes
one land parcel subject to a ground lease, which was sold to a third party and met the
criteria to be presented as discontinued operations. |
The level and timing of income generated from the CDFS business segment is dependent on
several factors, including but not limited to: (i) our ability to develop and timely lease
properties; (ii) our ability to acquire properties that eventually can be contributed to property
funds after rehabilitating or repositioning; (iii) our ability to identify and secure sites for
redevelopment; (iv) our ability to generate a profit from these activities; and (v) our success in
raising capital to be used by the property funds to acquire the properties we have to contribute.
The margins earned in this segment may vary quarter to quarter depending on a number of factors,
including the type of property contributed, the market in which the land parcel and property are
located, and other market conditions. There can be no assurance we will be able to maintain or
increase the current level of net operating income in this segment. Overall, we believe that the
continued demand for state-of-the-art distribution properties has resulted in positive leasing
activity in our global development pipeline, which helps support our CDFS business segment. During
the three months ended March 31, 2008, we leased 6.6 million square feet of new leases on CDFS
properties. We continue to
monitor leasing activity and general economic conditions as it pertains to the CDFS business
segment.
Other Components of Income
General and Administrative Expenses
General and administrative expenses were $56.5 million and $48.3 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in general and administrative expenses
is due primarily to our continued investment in the infrastructure necessary to support our
business growth and continued expansion into new and existing international markets, the increase
in our investment management business, our growing portfolio of properties through acquisitions and
development and the growth in our CDFS business segment. This increase in infrastructure includes
additional headcount and a higher level of performance-based compensation. Strengthening foreign
currencies account for a portion of the increase when our international operations are translated
into US dollars at consolidation. In the first quarters of 2008 and 2007, we recognized $1.7
million and $8.0 million of employee departure costs, respectively, related to accelerated vesting
and changes in service periods related to terminated employees and our Chief Operating Officers
planned retirement in January 2009.
Depreciation and Amortization
Depreciation and amortization expenses were $77.6 million and $77.9 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively.

Interest expense increased in 2008 as compared with the same period in 2007 due to increases
in our level of borrowings, resulting from acquisitions, including the Parkridge acquisition,
increased development activity and additional investments in unconsolidated investees, offset by
additional capitalized interest and a decrease in our overall weighted average interest rates. The
decrease in our weighted average interest rates is due partially to our issuance of debt at lower interest
rates, including the $2.4 billion of convertible senior notes issued in 2007 ($1.25 billion issued
in March 2007 with a coupon rate of 2.25% and $1.12 billion issued in November 2007 with a coupon
rate of 1.875%). The increase in capitalized interest is due to our increased development
activities. See Note 1 to our
Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for a proposed change in accounting that may
impact our reported interest expense.

Foreign Currency Exchange Losses, net
We and certain of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries have intercompany or third party debt
that is not denominated in the entitys functional currency. When the debt is remeasured against
the functional currency of the entity, a gain or loss can result. To mitigate our foreign currency
exchange exposure, we borrow in the functional currency of the borrowing entity when appropriate.
Certain of our intercompany debt is remeasured with the resulting adjustment recognized as a
cumulative translation adjustment in shareholders equity. This treatment is applicable to
intercompany debt that is deemed to be long-term in nature. If the intercompany debt is deemed
short-term in nature, when the debt is remeasured, we recognize a gain or loss in earnings.
Additionally, we may utilize derivative financial instruments to manage certain foreign currency
exchange risks. See Note 14 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for more information
on our derivative financial instruments.
During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, we recognized net foreign currency
exchange losses of $36.7 million and $13.6 million, respectively. These primarily relate to
remeasurement losses on short-term intercompany debt and related derivative contracts.
Income Taxes
During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, our current income tax expense was
$24.8 million and $18.1 million, respectively. We recognize current income tax expense for income
taxes incurred by our taxable REIT subsidiaries and in certain foreign jurisdictions, primarily
related to our CDFS business, as well as certain state taxes. We also include in current income tax
expense the interest associated with our unrecognized tax benefit liabilities. Our current income
tax expense fluctuates from period to period based primarily on the timing of our taxable CDFS
income and changes in tax and interest rates.
Discontinued Operations
During the three months ended March 31, 2008 and the year ended December 31, 2007, we disposed
of three and 80 properties, respectively, as well as land subject to ground leases in 2007, to
third parties that met the requirements to be classified as discontinued operations. Therefore, the
results of operations for these properties, as well as the gain recognized upon disposition, are
included in discontinued operations. See Note 6 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
Environmental Matters
A majority of the properties acquired by us were subjected to environmental reviews either by
us or the previous owners. While some of these assessments have led to further investigation and
sampling, none of the environmental assessments have revealed an environmental liability that we
believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of
operations.
We record a liability for the estimated costs of environmental remediation to be incurred in
connection with certain operating properties we acquire, as well as certain land parcels we acquire
in connection with the planned development of the land. The liability is established to cover the
environmental remediation costs, including cleanup costs, consulting fees for studies and
investigations, monitoring costs and legal costs relating to cleanup, litigation defense, and the
pursuit of responsible third parties. We purchase various environmental insurance policies to
mitigate our exposure to environmental liabilities. We are not aware of any environmental liability
that we believe would have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or
results of operations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Overview
We consider our ability to generate cash from operating activities, contributions and
dispositions of properties and from available financing sources to be adequate to meet our
anticipated future development, acquisition, operating, debt service and shareholder distribution
requirements.
Our credit facilities provide liquidity and financial flexibility, which allows us to
efficiently respond to market opportunities and execute our business strategy on a global basis.
Regular repayments of our credit facilities are necessary to allow us to maintain adequate
liquidity. We anticipate future repayments of the borrowings under our credit facilities will be
funded primarily through cash flow from operations, the proceeds from future property contributions
and dispositions and from proceeds generated by future issuances of debt or equity securities,
depending on market conditions.
We continually assess our capital structure and look for ways to reduce our interest expense
while financing our growing operations. As part of this assessment, we access the capital markets
through the issuance of debt or equity securities when we believe the market conditions to be
favorable to do so. This may include refinancing of maturing indebtedness, including borrowings on
credit facilities that were used to fund acquisitions and development. Due to the recent turmoil in
the credit markets, we may not be able to finance maturing debt on terms that are as favorable as
the terms on the maturing debt. As a part of our CDFS business strategy, we are able to fund much
of our on-going development and acquisition costs with the proceeds from the contribution and or
disposition of properties. This strategy makes us less dependent on accessing the capital markets,
although the property funds that primarily acquire our properties may also be affected by the
current condition of the credit markets. As of March 31, 2008, we have scheduled principal payments
of $813.4 million of debt for the remainder of 2008, including maturing debt. We expect to repay
these amounts primarily with the issuance of unsecured debt under our current indenture or with
borrowings under our existing credit facilities as discussed below. In April 2008, we repaid $250.0
million of such maturing senior notes with available cash. On May 1, 2008, we announced the pricing
of $600.0 million of senior notes maturing 2018 with a coupon rate of 6.625% and $500.0 million of
2.625% convertible senior notes due 2038, with a $50.0 million over-allotment option. We expect to
close on these debt issuances on May 7, 2008, subject to customary closing conditions, and use the proceeds to repay secured debt and
borrowings on our credit facilities and for general corporate purposes.
Our credit facilities provide aggregate borrowing capacity of $4.6 billion at March 31, 2008.
This includes our Global Line, where a syndicate of banks allows us to draw funds in U.S. dollar,
euro, Japanese yen, British pound sterling, Chinese renminbi, South Korean won and Canadian dollar.
This also includes a multi-currency senior credit facility (Credit Facility) that allows us to
borrow in U.S. dollar, euro, Japanese yen, and British pound sterling. The total commitments under
the Global Line and Credit Facility fluctuate in U.S. dollars based on the underlying currencies.
Based on our public debt ratings, interest on the borrowings under the Global Line and Credit
Facility primarily accrues at a variable rate based upon the interbank offered rate in each
respective jurisdiction in which the borrowings are outstanding. The majority of the Global Line
and Credit Facility matures in October 2009; however, the Global Line contains provisions for an
extension, at our option subject to certain conditions, to October 2010. The renminbi tranche
accrues interest based upon the Peoples Bank of China rate and matures in May 2009. The Credit
Facility provides us the ability to re-borrow, within a specified period of time, any amounts
repaid on the facility. As of March 31, 2008, under these facilities, we had outstanding borrowings
of $3.3 billion and $154.7 million of letters of credit outstanding with participating lenders
resulting in remaining borrowing capacity of approximately $1.2 billion.
In addition to common share distributions and preferred share dividend requirements, we expect
our primary short and long-term cash needs will consist of the following for the remainder of 2008
and future years:
|
|
|
development of properties directly and additional investment in joint ventures in the
CDFS business segment; |
35
|
|
|
acquisitions of properties or portfolios of properties in the CDFS business segment
primarily for future contribution to property funds; |
|
|
|
|
acquisitions of land for future development in the CDFS business segment; |
|
|
|
|
investments in current or future unconsolidated property funds; |
|
|
|
|
direct acquisitions of operating properties and/or portfolios of operating properties in
key distribution markets for direct, long-term investment in the property operations
segment; |
|
|
|
|
capital expenditures on properties; and |
|
|
|
|
scheduled principal payments, including $813.4 million that is due in the remainder of
2008. |
We expect to fund cash needs for the remainder of 2008 and future years primarily with cash
from the following sources, all subject to market conditions:
|
|
|
available cash balances; |
|
|
|
|
property operations; |
|
|
|
|
fees and incentives earned for services performed on behalf of the property funds; |
|
|
|
|
proceeds from the contributions of properties to current or future property funds; |
|
|
|
|
proceeds from the disposition of land parcels and properties to third parties; |
|
|
|
|
borrowing capacity under our Global Line or other credit facilities ($1.2 billion
available as of March 31, 2008); |
|
|
|
|
assumption of debt in connection with acquisitions; and |
|
|
|
|
proceeds from the issuance of equity or debt securities, including sales under various
common share plans, all subject to market conditions. |
Commitments related to future contributions to Property Funds
We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all of the properties we develop and
stabilize in Canada and the United States to the North American Industrial Fund. The North American
Industrial Fund has equity commitments, which expire in February 2009, aggregating approximately
$1.4 billion from third party investors, of which $671.3 million was unfunded at March 31, 2008.
We are committed to offer to contribute all of the properties we develop and stabilize in
Mexico and, in certain circumstances properties we acquire, to ProLogis Mexico Industrial Fund.
ProLogis Mexico Industrial Fund has equity commitments, which expire in August 2010, aggregating
approximately $500.0 million from third party investors, of which $311.3 million was unfunded at
March 31, 2008.
We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all of the properties we develop and
stabilize in Europe and, in certain circumstances properties we acquire, to PEPF II. PEPF II has
equity commitments, which expire in August 2010, aggregating approximately 2.5 billion ($3.9
billion as of March 31, 2008) from third party investors and PEPR, of which 1.9 billion ($2.9
billion as of March 31, 2008) was unfunded at March 31, 2008.
We are committed to offer to contribute all of the properties we develop and stabilize in
Japan to ProLogis Japan Properties Fund II through September 2010. ProLogis Japan Properties Fund
II has an equity commitment of $1.0 billion from our fund partner, which was increased in February
2008 from $600.0 million. This commitment expires in September 2010, of which $300.7 million was
unfunded at March 31, 2008.
36
We are committed to offer to contribute substantially all of the properties we develop and
stabilize in South Korea and, in certain circumstances properties we acquire, to ProLogis Korea
Fund. ProLogis Korea Fund has an equity commitment from our fund partner of $200.0 million that
expires in June 2010 and of which $121.1 million was unfunded at March 31, 2008.
These property funds are committed to acquire such properties, subject to certain exceptions,
including that the properties meet certain specified leasing and other criteria, and that the
property funds have available capital. We believe that, while the current capital commitments and
borrowing capacities of these property funds may be expended prior to the expiration dates of these
commitments, each property fund will have sufficient debt and/or equity capital to acquire the
properties that we expect to offer to contribute during the remainder of 2008, however, there can
be no certainty until the contributions are completed. Should the property funds not acquire,
because of insufficient capital available to acquire a property that meets the specified criteria
or other reason, the rights under the agreement with regard to that specific property will
terminate. We continually explore our options related to both new and existing property funds to
support the business objectives of our CDFS business segment.
There can be no assurance that if these property funds do not acquire the properties we have
available, we will be able to secure other sources of capital such that we can contribute or sell
these properties in a timely manner and continue to generate profits from our development
activities in a particular reporting period.
In addition, to the extent a property fund acquires properties from a third party, we may be
required to contribute our proportionate share of the equity component in cash to the property
fund.
Cash Provided by Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $348.7 million and $284.6 million for the three
months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The increase in cash provided by operating
activities in 2008 over 2007 is due primarily to the increase in earnings, after adjustment for
non-cash items, principally due to increased gains from CDFS dispositions. Cash provided by
operating activities exceeded the cash distributions paid on common shares and dividends paid on
preferred shares in both periods.
Cash Investing and Cash Financing Activities
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, investing activities used net cash of
$279.5 million and $1.0 billion, respectively. The following are the more significant activities
for both periods presented:
|
|
|
In February 2007, we purchased the industrial business and made a 25% investment in the
retail business of Parkridge. The total purchase price was $1.3 billion of which we paid
cash of $733.9 million. See Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1 for
more details of this transaction. |
|
|
|
|
We invested $1.6 billion in real estate during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and
$1.1 billion for the same period in 2007, excluding the Parkridge acquisition. These
amounts include the acquisition of operating properties (15 properties and 13 properties
with an aggregate purchase price of $138.3 million and $153.6 million in 2008 and 2007,
respectively); acquisitions of land for future development; costs for current and future
development projects; and recurring capital expenditures and tenant improvements on
existing operating properties. At March 31, 2008, we had 187 distribution and retail
properties aggregating 49.3 million square feet under development, with a total expected
investment of $4.1 billion. |
|
|
|
|
We invested cash of $28.7 million and $32.9 million during the three months ended March
31, 2008 and 2007, respectively, in new, existing and potential unconsolidated investees,
excluding the investment in the Parkridge retail business. |
|
|
|
|
We received proceeds from unconsolidated investees as a return of investment of $31.0
million and $26.2 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. The proceeds in 2007 include $18.7 million received from the liquidation of
an investment in an unconsolidated investee. |
|
|
|
|
We generated net cash from contributions and dispositions of properties and land parcels
of $1.3 billion and $760.5 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007,
respectively. |
37
|
|
|
We generated net cash proceeds from payments on notes receivable of $0.2 million and
$53.6 million during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |
For the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, financing activities provided net cash
of $401.2 million and $796.4 million, respectively. The following are the more significant
activities for both periods presented:
|
|
|
On our lines of credit and other credit facilities, including the Global Line and the Credit Facility, we had
net borrowings of $607.9 million and net payments of $747.2 million for the three months
ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
On our other debt, we had net payments of $177.1 million and $164.2 million for the
three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
We generated proceeds from the sale and issuance of common shares of $97.6 million and
$13.5 million for the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. |
|
|
|
|
We paid distributions of $133.6 million and $117.8 million to our common shareholders
during the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. We paid dividends on
preferred shares of $6.4 million for both the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007. |
|
|
|
|
In March 2007, we issued $1.25 billion aggregate principal amount of 2.25% convertible
senior notes due 2037. We used the net proceeds of the offering to repay a portion of the
outstanding balance under our Global Line and for general corporate purposes. |
|
|
|
|
During 2007, we received proceeds of $600.1 million under a facility used to partially
finance the Parkridge acquisition (see Note 2 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in
Item 1). |
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
Liquidity and Capital Resources of Our Unconsolidated Investees
We had investments in and advances to unconsolidated investees of $2.4 billion at March 31,
2008, of which $1.7 billion related to our investments in the property funds. Summarized financial
information for the property funds (for the entire entity, not our proportionate share) at March
31, 2008 is presented below (dollars in millions):

As of March 31, 2008, we had no outstanding guarantees related to any debt of the
unconsolidated property funds. Of the combined debt of the property funds, $2.4 billion is
maturing during the remainder of 2008. This includes short-term financing that was issued by
the funds during 2007 and 2008 to fund acquisitions of properties from us and third parties.
The refinancing of this debt with long-term debt is in varying stages of completion. As of March 31, 2008,
the property funds had received commitments from lenders for $1.9 billion, and as of May 1, 2008, have closed on $141 million of refinancing. See also Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial
Statements in Item 1 for more information on the property funds. |

|
Our ownership interest includes our direct interest of 17.0% and an indirect interest of 7.5%
(through our 24.9% ownership interest in PEPR that owns 30% of PEPF II). |
Contractual Obligations
Distribution and Dividend Requirements
Our common share distribution policy is to distribute a percentage of our cash flow to ensure
we will meet the distribution requirements of the Code relative to maintaining our REIT status,
while still allowing us to maximize the cash retained to meet other cash needs such as capital
improvements and other investment activities. Because depreciation is a non-cash expense, cash flow
typically will be greater than operating income and net earnings.
In December 2007, the Board approved an increase in the annual distribution for 2008 from
$1.84 to $2.07 per common share. The payment of common share distributions is dependent upon our
financial condition and operating results and may be adjusted at the discretion of the Board during
the year. We paid a distribution of $0.5175 per common share for the first quarter of 2008 on
February 29, 2008.
At March 31, 2008, we had three series of preferred shares outstanding. The annual dividend
rates on preferred shares are $4.27 per Series C preferred share, $1.69 per Series F preferred
share and $1.69 per Series G preferred share. The dividends are payable quarterly in arrears on the
last day of each quarter.
Pursuant to the terms of our preferred shares, we are restricted from declaring or paying any
distribution with respect to our common shares unless and until all cumulative dividends with
respect to the preferred shares have been paid and sufficient funds have been set aside for
dividends that have been declared for the then current dividend period with respect to the
preferred shares.
Other Commitments
On a continuing basis, we are engaged in various stages of negotiations for the acquisition
and/or disposition of individual properties or portfolio of properties.
New Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 1 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 1.
Funds from Operations
FFO is a non-GAAP measure that is commonly used in the real estate industry. The most directly
comparable GAAP measure to FFO is net earnings. Although NAREIT has published a definition of FFO,
modifications to the NAREIT calculation of FFO are common among REITs, as companies seek to provide
financial measures that meaningfully reflect their business. FFO, as we define it, is presented as
a supplemental financial measure. We do not use FFO as, nor should it be considered to be, an
alternative to net earnings computed under GAAP as an indicator of our operating performance or as
an alternative to cash from operating activities computed under GAAP as an indicator of our ability
to fund our cash needs.
FFO is not meant to represent a comprehensive system of financial reporting and does not
present, nor do we intend it to present, a complete picture of our financial condition and
operating performance. We believe net earnings computed under GAAP remains the primary measure of
performance and that FFO is only meaningful when it is used in conjunction with net earnings
computed under GAAP. Further, we believe our consolidated
financial statements, prepared in accordance with GAAP, provide the most meaningful picture of
our financial condition and our operating performance.
39
NAREITs FFO measure adjusts net earnings computed under GAAP to exclude historical cost
depreciation and gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated properties. We agree
that these two NAREIT adjustments are useful to investors for the following reasons:
(a) historical cost accounting for real estate assets in accordance with GAAP assumes,
through depreciation charges, that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over
time. NAREIT stated in its White Paper on FFO since real estate asset values have historically
risen or fallen with market conditions, many industry investors have considered presentations of
operating results for real estate companies that use historical cost accounting to be
insufficient by themselves. Consequently, NAREITs definition of FFO reflects the fact that
real estate, as an asset class, generally appreciates over time and depreciation charges
required by GAAP do not reflect the underlying economic realities.
(b) REITs were created as a legal form of organization in order to encourage public
ownership of real estate as an asset class through investment in firms that were in the business
of long-term ownership and management of real estate. The exclusion, in NAREITs definition of
FFO, of gains and losses from the sales of previously depreciated operating real estate assets
allows investors and analysts to readily identify the operating results of the long-term assets
that form the core of a REITs activity and assists in comparing those operating results between
periods. We include the gains and losses from dispositions of properties acquired or developed
in our CDFS business segment and our proportionate share of the gains and losses from
dispositions recognized by the property funds in our definition of FFO.
At the same time that NAREIT created and defined its FFO concept for the REIT industry, it
also recognized that management of each of its member companies has the responsibility and
authority to publish financial information that it regards as useful to the financial community.
We believe financial analysts, potential investors and shareholders who review our operating
results are best served by a defined FFO measure that includes other adjustments to net earnings
computed under GAAP in addition to those included in the NAREIT defined measure of FFO.
Our defined FFO measure excludes the following items from net earnings computed under GAAP
that are not excluded in the NAREIT defined FFO measure:
|
(i) |
|
deferred income tax benefits and deferred income tax expenses recognized by our
subsidiaries; |
|
|
(ii) |
|
current income tax expense related to acquired tax liabilities that were recorded as
deferred tax liabilities in an acquisition, to the extent the expense is offset with a
deferred income tax benefit in GAAP earnings that is excluded from our defined FFO measure; |
|
|
(iii) |
|
certain foreign currency exchange gains and losses resulting from certain debt
transactions between us and our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and our foreign
unconsolidated investees; |
|
|
(iv) |
|
foreign currency exchange gains and losses from the remeasurement (based on current
foreign currency exchange rates) of certain third party debt of our foreign consolidated
subsidiaries and our foreign unconsolidated investees; and |
|
|
(v) |
|
mark-to-market adjustments associated with derivative financial instruments utilized to
manage foreign currency and interest rate risks. |
FFO of our unconsolidated investees is calculated on the same basis.
The items that we exclude from net earnings computed under GAAP, while not infrequent or
unusual, are subject to significant fluctuations from period to period that cause both positive and
negative effects on our results of operations, in inconsistent and unpredictable directions. Most
importantly, the economics underlying the items that we exclude from net earnings computed under
GAAP are not the primary drivers in managements decision-making process and capital investment
decisions. Period to period fluctuations in these items can be driven by accounting for short-term
factors that are not relevant to long-term investment decisions, long-term capital structures or
long-term tax planning and tax structuring decisions. Accordingly, we believe investors are best
served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analysis and
evaluation of our operating results along the same lines that our management uses in planning and
executing our business strategy.
40
Real estate is a capital-intensive business. Investors analyses of the performance of real
estate companies tend to be centered on understanding the asset value created by real estate
investment decisions and understanding current operating returns that are being generated by those
same investment decisions. The adjustments to net earnings computed under GAAP that are included in
arriving at our FFO measure are helpful to management in making real estate investment decisions
and evaluating our current operating performance. We believe these adjustments are also helpful to
industry analysts, potential investors and shareholders in their understanding and evaluation of
our performance on the key measures of net asset value and current operating returns generated on
real estate investments.
While we believe our defined FFO measure is an important supplemental measure, neither
NAREITs nor our measure of FFO should be used alone because they exclude significant economic
components of net earnings computed under GAAP and are, therefore, limited as an analytical tool.
Some of these limitations are:
|
|
|
The current income tax expenses that are excluded from our defined FFO measure represent
the taxes that are payable. |
|
|
|

Depreciation and amortization of real estate assets are economic costs that are excluded
from FFO. FFO is limited, as it does not reflect the cash requirements that may be
necessary for future replacements of the real estate assets. Further, the amortization of
capital expenditures and leasing costs necessary to maintain the operating performance of
distribution properties are not reflected in FFO. |
|
|
|
|
Gains or losses from property dispositions represent changes in the value of the
disposed properties. By excluding these gains and losses, FFO does not capture realized
changes in the value of disposed properties arising from changes in market conditions. |
|
|
|
|
The deferred income tax benefits and expenses that are excluded from our defined FFO
measure result from the creation of a deferred income tax asset or liability that may have
to be settled at some future point. Our defined FFO measure does not currently reflect any
income or expense that may result from such settlement. |
|
|
|
|
The foreign currency exchange gains and losses that are excluded from our defined FFO
measure are generally recognized based on movements in foreign currency exchange rates
through a specific point in time. The ultimate settlement of our foreign
currency-denominated net assets is indefinite as to timing and amount. Our FFO measure is
limited in that it does not reflect the current period changes in these net assets that
result from periodic foreign currency exchange rate movements. |
We compensate for these limitations by using the FFO measure only in conjunction with net
earnings computed under GAAP. To further compensate, we reconcile our defined FFO measure to net
earnings computed under GAAP in our financial reports. Additionally, we provide investors with (i)
our complete financial statements prepared under GAAP; (ii) our definition of FFO, which includes a
discussion of the limitations of using our non-GAAP measure; and (iii) a reconciliation of our GAAP
measure (net earnings) to our non-GAAP measure (FFO, as we define it), so that investors can
appropriately incorporate this measure and its limitations into their analyses.
FFO attributable to common shares as defined by us was $369.1 million and $329.7 million for
the three months ended March 31, 2008 and 2007, respectively. The reconciliations of FFO
attributable to common shares as defined by us to net earnings attributable to common shares
computed under GAAP are as follows for the periods indicated (in thousands):

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk
We are exposed to the impact of interest rate changes and foreign-exchange related variability
and earnings volatility on our foreign investments. We have used certain derivative financial
instruments; primarily foreign currency put option and forward contracts, to reduce our foreign
currency market risk, as we deem appropriate. We have also used interest rate swap agreements to
reduce our interest rate market risk. We do not use financial instruments for trading or
speculative purposes and all financial instruments are entered into in accordance with established
polices and procedures.
We monitor our market risk exposures using a sensitivity analysis. Our sensitivity analysis
estimates the exposure to market risk sensitive instruments assuming a hypothetical 10% adverse
change in year-end interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates. The results of the
sensitivity analysis are summarized below. The sensitivity analysis is of limited predictive value.
As a result, our ultimate realized gains or losses with respect to interest rate and foreign
currency exchange rate fluctuations will depend on the exposures that arise during a future period,
hedging strategies at the time and the prevailing interest and foreign currency exchange rates.
Interest Rate Risk
Our interest rate risk management objective is to limit the impact of future interest rate
changes on earnings and cash flows. To achieve this objective, we primarily borrow on a fixed rate
basis for longer-term debt issuances. We have two interest rate swap contracts outstanding at March
31, 2008 with a total notional amount of $250 million that were designated as cash flow hedges to
fix the interest rate on a portion of expected financing.
42
Our primary interest rate risk is created by the variable rate lines of credit. During the
three months ended March 31, 2008, we had weighted average daily outstanding borrowings of $2.7
billion on our variable rate lines of
credit. Based on the results of the sensitivity analysis, which assumed a 10% adverse change
in interest rates, the estimated market risk exposure for the variable rate lines of credit was
approximately $2.3 million of cash flow for the three months ended March 31, 2008.
We also have $0.8 billion of variable interest rate debt in which we have a market risk of
increased rates. Based on a sensitivity analysis with a 10% adverse change in interest rates our
estimated market risk exposure for this issuance is approximately $3.5 million on our cash flow for
the three months ended March 31, 2008.
The unconsolidated property funds that we manage, and in which we have an equity ownership,
may enter into interest rate swap contracts. See Note 3 to our Consolidated Financial Statements in
Item 1 for further information on these derivatives.
Foreign Currency Risk
Foreign currency risk is the possibility that our financial results could be better or worse
than planned because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
Our primary exposure to foreign currency exchange rates relates to the translation of the
forecasted net income of our foreign subsidiaries into U.S. dollars, principally euro, pound
sterling, yen and renminbi. To mitigate our foreign currency exchange exposure, we borrow in the
functional currency of the borrowing entity, when appropriate. We also may use foreign currency put
option contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk associated with the projected net
operating income of our foreign consolidated subsidiaries and unconsolidated investees. At March
31, 2008, we had no put option contracts outstanding.
We also have some exposure to movements in exchange rates related to certain intercompany
loans we issue from time to time and we may use foreign currency forward contracts to manage these
risks. At March 31, 2008, we had no forward contracts outstanding.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
An evaluation was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our
management, including our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, of the
effectiveness of the disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-14(c)) under the
Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 (the Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2008. Based on this
evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our
disclosure controls and procedures are effective to ensure that information required to be
disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed,
summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC rules and forms.
PART II
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we and our unconsolidated investees are party to a variety of legal
proceedings arising in the ordinary course of business. We believe that, with respect to any such
matters that we are currently a party to, the ultimate disposition of any such matters will not
result in a material adverse effect on our business, financial position or results of operations.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
As of March 31, 2008, no material changes had occurred in our risk factors as discussed in
Item 1A of our Form 10-K.
