BLACK CREEK INDUSTRIAL REIT IV INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
1. BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” refers to Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries.
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included herein have been prepared pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, certain disclosures normally included in the annual audited financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) have been omitted. As such, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 6, 2019 (“2018 Form 10-K”).
In the opinion of management, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments and eliminations, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation in conformity with GAAP.
Recently Adopted Accounting Standards
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ASU No. 2016-02, “Leases (Subtopic 842)” (“ASU 2016-02”), which provides guidance for greater transparency in financial reporting by organizations that lease assets such as real estate, airplanes and manufacturing equipment by requiring such organizations to recognize lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. The Company adopted the standard when it became effective for the Company, as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2019, and the Company elected the practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. Under the practical expedients election, the Company was not required to reassess: (i) whether an expired or existing contract meets the definition of a lease; (ii) the lease classification at the adoption date for expired or existing leases; and (iii) whether costs previously capitalized as initial direct costs would continue to be amortized. The practical expedient also allowed the Company to not separate tenant reimbursement revenue from rental revenue if certain criteria were met. The Company assessed the criteria and concluded that the timing and pattern of transfer for rental revenue and the related tenant reimbursement revenue are the same and the lease component, if accounted for separately, would be classified as an operating lease. As such, the Company accounts for and presented rental revenue and tenant reimbursement revenue as a single component in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The standard also requires new disclosures within the notes accompanying the condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, in January 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-01, “Leases (Subtopic 842): Land Easement Practical Expedient for Transition to Topic 842” (“ASU 2018-01”), which updates ASU 2016-02 to include land easements under the updated guidance, including the option to elect the practical expedient discussed above. The Company also adopted ASU 2018-01 when it became effective for the Company, as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2019, and the Company elected the practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. In addition, in December 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-20, “Narrow—Scope Improvements for Lessors” (“ASU 2018-20”), which updates ASU 2016-02 by providing the option to elect a practical expedient for lessors to exclude sales and other similar taxes from the transaction price of the contract, requires lessors to exclude from revenue and expense lessor costs paid directly to a third party by lessees, and clarifies lessors’ accounting for variable payments related to both lease and nonlease components. The Company adopted ASU 2018-20 when it became effective for the Company, as of the reporting period beginning January 1, 2019, and the Company elected the practical expedients available for implementation under the standard. The adoption of these standards did not have a material effect on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements.
In March 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-01, “Leases (Topic 842): Codification Improvements” (“ASU 2019-01”), which updates ASU 2016-02 to clarify that entities are not required to provide interim disclosures related to their adoption of ASU 2016-02 as required for other accounting changes and error corrections. The Company adopted this standard in conjunction with the adoption of ASU 2016-02. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Redeemable Noncontrolling Interest
BCI IV Advisors Group LLC (the “Sponsor”) holds, either directly or indirectly, partnership units in the Company’s operating partnership (“OP Units”), which were issued as payment of the performance component of the advisory fee for the year ended

7


December 31, 2018 pursuant to the amended and restated advisory agreement by and among the Company, BCI IV Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”) and BCI IV Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”). The Company has classified these OP Units as redeemable noncontrolling interest in mezzanine equity on the condensed consolidated balance sheets due to the fact that, as defined in the operating partnership agreement, the Sponsor has the ability to redeem its OP units at the election of the Sponsor. The redeemable noncontrolling interest is recorded at the greater of the carrying amount, adjusted for its share of the allocation of income or loss and dividends, or the redemption value, which is equivalent to fair value, of such OP units at the end of each measurement period.
3. REAL ESTATE ACQUISITIONS

The effective interest rate is calculated based on either: (i) the London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) plus a margin ranging from 1.60% to 2.50%; or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.60% to 1.50%, each depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. Customary fall-back provisions apply if LIBOR is unavailable. The line of credit is available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, the acquisition and operation of permitted investments by the Company. A pledge of equity interests in the Company’s subsidiaries that directly own unencumbered properties will be provided until such time as the Company elects to terminate such pledges, subject to satisfaction of certain financial covenants. As of March 31, 2019, the unused portion under the line of credit was $199.9 million, of which $20.1 million was available.

(2)
The effective interest rate is calculated based on either (i) LIBOR plus a margin ranging from 1.25% to 2.05%; or (ii) an alternative base rate plus a margin ranging from 0.25% to 1.05%, depending on the Company’s consolidated leverage ratio. The Company has the ability to borrow an additional $110.0 million under this term loan for total commitments of $200.0 million. This term loan is available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, the acquisition and operation of permitted investments by the Company.
Debt Covenants
The Company’s line of credit and term loan agreements contain various property-level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the agreement governing the line of credit and term loan contains certain corporate level financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, and tangible net worth thresholds. The Company was in compliance with all covenants as of March 31, 2019.
6. FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
The Company estimates fair value of its financial instruments using available market information and valuation methodologies it believes to be appropriate for these purposes. As of March 31, 2019 and December 31, 2018, the fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, prepaid expenses, other assets, due from/to affiliates, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and distributions payable approximate their carrying values due to the short-term nature of these instruments. The table below includes fair values for certain of the Company’s financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
References to the terms “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc. and its consolidated subsidiaries. The following discussion and analysis should be read together with our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
CAUTIONARY STATEMENT REGARDING FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q includes certain statements that may be deemed forward-looking statements within the meaning of Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”). Such forward-looking statements relate to, without limitation, our ability to raise capital and effectively and timely deploy the net proceeds of our public offering, the expected use of net proceeds from the public offering, our reliance on the Advisor and BCI IV Advisors Group LLC (the “Sponsor”), our understanding of our competition and our ability to compete effectively, our financing needs, our expected leverage, the effects of our current strategies, rent and occupancy growth, general conditions in the geographic area where we will operate, our future debt and financial position, our future capital expenditures, future distributions and acquisitions (including the amount and nature thereof), other developments and trends of the real estate industry, investment strategies and the expansion and growth of our operations. Forward-looking statements are generally identifiable by the use of the words “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “could,” “intend,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “estimate,” “believe,” “continue,” “project,” or the negative of these words or other comparable terminology. These statements are not guarantees of future performance, and involve certain risks, uncertainties and assumptions that are difficult to predict.
The forward-looking statements included herein are based upon our current expectations, plans, estimates, assumptions, and beliefs that involve numerous risks and uncertainties. Assumptions relating to the foregoing involve judgments with respect to, among other things, future economic, competitive and market conditions, and future business decisions, all of which are difficult or impossible to predict accurately and many of which are beyond our control. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in such forward-looking statements are based on reasonable assumptions, our actual results and performance could differ materially from those set forth in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could have a material adverse effect on our operations and future prospects include, but are not limited to:
Our ability to raise capital and effectively deploy the net proceeds raised in our public offering in accordance with our investment strategy and objectives;
The failure of properties to perform as we expect;
Risks associated with acquisitions, dispositions and development of properties;
Our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and operations;
Unexpected delays or increased costs associated with any development projects;
The availability of cash flows from operating activities for distributions and capital expenditures;
Defaults on or non-renewal of leases by customers, lease renewals at lower than expected rent, or failure to lease properties at all or on favorable rents and terms;
Difficulties in economic conditions generally and the real estate, debt, and securities markets specifically;
Legislative or regulatory changes, including changes to the laws governing the taxation of real estate investment trusts (“REITs”);
Our failure to obtain, renew, or extend necessary financing or access the debt or equity markets;
Conflicts of interest arising out of our relationships with the Sponsor, the Advisor, and their affiliates;
Risks associated with using debt to fund our business activities, including re-financing and interest rate risks;
Increases in interest rates, operating costs, or greater than expected capital expenditures;
Changes to GAAP; and
Our ability to continue to qualify as a REIT.
Any of the assumptions underlying forward-looking statements could prove to be inaccurate. Our stockholders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on any forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. All forward-looking statements are made as of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the risk that actual results will differ materially from the expectations expressed in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will increase with the passage of time. Except as otherwise required by the federal securities laws, we undertake no obligation to publicly update or revise any forward-looking statements after the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, whether as a result of new information, future events, changed circumstances, or any other reason. In light of the significant uncertainties inherent in the forward-looking statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including, without limitation, the risks described under “Risk Factors,” the inclusion of such forward-looking statements should not be regarded as a representation by us or any other person that the objectives and plans set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q will be achieved.

OVERVIEW
General
Black Creek Industrial REIT IV Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on August 12, 2014 to make investments in income-producing real estate assets consisting primarily of high-quality distribution warehouses and other industrial properties that are leased to creditworthy corporate customers. We currently operate as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, and elected to be treated as a REIT beginning with our taxable year ended December 31, 2017. We utilize an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of our assets through the Operating Partnership.
We have registered with the SEC an initial public offering of up to $2.0 billion in shares of our common stock in any combination of Class T shares, Class W shares and Class I shares, consisting of $1.5 billion in our primary offering and up to $500.0 million in shares under our distribution reinvestment plan. We are offering shares of our common stock at the “transaction price,” plus applicable selling commissions and dealer manager fees. The “transaction price” generally is equal to the net asset value (“NAV”) per share of our common stock most recently disclosed. Our NAV per share is calculated as of the last calendar day of each month for each of our outstanding classes of common stock, and is available generally within 15 calendar days after the end of the applicable month. Shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan are offered at the transaction price, as indicated above, in effect on the distribution date. We may update a previously disclosed transaction price in cases where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to our NAV per share relative to the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share. See “Net Asset Value” below for further detail.
As of March 31, 2019, we had raised gross proceeds of approximately $301.2 million from the sale of 28.7 million shares of our common stock and the issuance of notes payable in our public and private offerings, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. See “Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for information concerning our public and private offerings.
As of March 31, 2019, we owned and managed a real estate portfolio that included 17 industrial buildings totaling approximately 3.2 million square feet located in 10 markets throughout the U.S., with 30 customers, and was 99.3% occupied (99.9% leased) with a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of 5.2 years. The occupied rate reflects the square footage with a paying customer in place. The leased rate includes the occupied square footage and additional square footage with leases in place that have not yet commenced.
We have used, and intend to continue to use, the net proceeds from our offerings primarily to make investments in real estate assets. We may use the net proceeds from our offerings to make other real estate-related investments and debt investments and to pay distributions. The number and type of properties we may acquire and debt and other investments we may make will depend upon real estate market conditions, the amount of proceeds we raise in our offerings, and other circumstances existing at the time we make our investments.
Our primary investment objectives include the following: 
preserving and protecting our stockholders’ capital contributions;
providing current income to our stockholders in the form of regular cash distributions; and
realizing capital appreciation upon the potential sale of our assets or other liquidity events.
There is no assurance that we will attain our investment objectives. Our charter places numerous limitations on us with respect to the manner in which we may invest our funds. In most cases these limitations cannot be changed unless our charter is amended, which may require the approval of our stockholders.
We may acquire assets free and clear of mortgage or other indebtedness by paying the entire purchase price in cash or equity securities, or a combination thereof, and we may selectively encumber all or only certain assets with debt. The proceeds from our borrowings may be used to fund investments, make capital expenditures, pay distributions, and for general corporate purposes.
We expect to execute our corporate financing strategy by considering various lending sources, which may include long-term fixed-rate mortgage loans, unsecured or secured lines of credit or term loans, private placement or public bond issuances, and the assumption of existing loans in connection with certain property acquisitions, or any combination of the foregoing.

Net Asset Value
Our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, has adopted valuation procedures that contain a comprehensive set of methodologies to be used in connection with the calculation of our NAV. See our valuation procedures, incorporated by reference as Exhibit 99.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for a more detailed description of our valuation procedures, including important disclosure regarding real property valuations provided by Altus Group U.S. Inc. (the “Independent Valuation Firm”). All parties engaged by us in the calculation of our NAV, including the Advisor, are subject to the oversight of our board of directors. Generally, all of our real properties are appraised once each calendar year by third-party appraisal firms in accordance with our valuation procedures and such appraisals are reviewed by our Independent Valuation Firm. As used below, “Fund Interests” means our outstanding shares of common stock, along with the partnership units in the Operating Partnership (“OP Units”) held directly or indirectly by the Sponsor, and “Aggregate Fund NAV” means the NAV of all of the Fund Interests.

Under GAAP, we record liabilities for ongoing distribution fees that (i) we currently owe under the terms of the dealer manager agreement and (ii) we estimate we may pay the Dealer Manager in future periods for shares of our common stock. As of March 31, 2019, we estimated approximately $10.7 million of ongoing distribution fees were potentially payable to the Dealer Manager. We intend for our NAV to reflect our estimated value on the date that we determine our NAV. As such, we do not deduct the liability for estimated future distribution fees in our calculation of NAV that may become payable after the date as of which our NAV is calculated.
The valuation for our real properties as of March 31, 2019 was provided by the Independent Valuation Firm in accordance with our valuation procedures and determined by starting with the acquisition price of our real properties, which was adjusted based on subsequent events and assumptions used by the Independent Valuation Firm. Certain key assumptions that were used by our Independent Valuation Firm in the discounted cash flow analysis are set forth in the following table:

A change in the rates used would impact the calculation of the value of our real properties. For example, assuming all other factors remain constant, the changes listed below would result in the following effects on the value of our real properties:

The valuation of our debt obligations as of March 31, 2019 was calculated in accordance with fair value standards under GAAP. The key assumption used in the discounted cash flow analysis was the market interest rate. Market interest rates relating to the underlying debt obligations are based on unobservable Level 3 inputs, which we have determined to be our best estimate of current market interest rates of similar instruments. The weighted-average market interest rate used in the March 31, 2019 valuation was 3.74%.
A change in the market interest rates used could impact the calculation of the fair value of our debt obligations. For example, assuming all other factors remain constant, a decrease in the weighted-average market interest rate of 0.25% would not have a material impact on the fair value of our debt obligations. Alternatively, assuming all other factors remain constant, an increase in the weighted-average market interest rate of 0.25% would decrease the fair value of our debt obligations by approximately 1.12%.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
Summary of 2019 Activities
During the three months ended March 31, 2019, we completed the following activities:
Our NAV was $10.0618 per share as of March 31, 2019 as compared to $10.0571 per share as of December 31, 2018.
We raised $88.4 million of gross equity capital from our public offering.
We acquired four industrial buildings comprising 0.4 million square feet for an aggregate total purchase price of approximately $44.2 million, exclusive of transfer taxes, due diligence expenses, and other closing costs. We funded these acquisitions with proceeds from our public offering and debt financings.
In February 2019, we amended and restated our $200.0 million credit facility by amending it to provide for a $200.0 million line of credit facility and a $200.0 million term loan facility. We have the ability to increase the size of the aggregate commitment under the credit facility agreement up to $600.0 million, subject certain conditions.

Rental Revenues. Rental revenues are comprised of rental income, straight-line rent, and amortization of above- and below-market lease assets and liabilities. Total rental revenues increased by approximately $5.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, due to the cumulative impact of our 2018 acquisitions, as well as our acquisition activity during the first quarter of 2019.
Rental Expenses. Rental expenses include certain property operating expenses typically reimbursed by our customers, such as real estate taxes, property insurance, property management fees, repair and maintenance, and utilities. Total rental expenses increased by approximately $1.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, due to the cumulative impact of our 2018 acquisitions, as well as our acquisition activity during the first quarter of 2019.
Other Expenses. Other expenses, in aggregate, increased by approximately $9.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, primarily due to the following:
an increase in real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense, advisory fees and general and administrative expenses totaling an aggregate amount of $4.5 million as a result of the growth in our portfolio since January 1, 2018;
a net decrease in expense support from the Advisor of $3.3 million due to an increase in expense support received from the Advisor of $0.2 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the same period in 2018, offset by a repayment of $3.5 million to the Advisor during the first quarter of 2019; and
an increase in interest expense of $1.0 million primarily related to an increase in average net borrowings under the line of credit of $63.0 million, as well as interest expense derived from the term loan we entered into in February 2019.

21


ADDITIONAL MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE
Net Loss and Net Operating Income (“NOI”)
We define NOI as GAAP rental revenues less GAAP rental expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, GAAP net loss attributable to common stockholders was $5.1 million, as compared to $0.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, NOI was $4.5 million as compared to $0.1 million for the three months ended March 31, 2018. We consider NOI to be an appropriate supplemental performance measure and believe NOI provides useful information to our investors regarding our financial condition and results of operations because NOI reflects the operating performance of our properties and excludes certain items that are not considered to be controllable in connection with the management of the properties, such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization, acquisition-related expenses, impairment charges, general and administrative expenses and interest expense. However, NOI should not be viewed as an alternative measure of our financial performance since it excludes such expenses, which expenses could materially impact our results of operations. Further, our NOI may not be comparable to that of other real estate companies as they may use different methodologies for calculating NOI. Therefore, we believe our net income (loss), as defined by GAAP, to be the most appropriate measure to evaluate our overall performance. Refer to “Results of Operations” above for a reconciliation of our GAAP net income (loss) to NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018.
Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Company-Defined Funds from Operations (“Company-defined FFO”) and Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”)
We believe that FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO, in addition to net income (loss) and cash flows from operating activities as defined by GAAP, are useful supplemental performance measures that our management uses to evaluate our consolidated operating performance. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures should not be considered as an alternative to net income (loss) or to cash flows from operating activities as an indication of our performance and are not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs, including our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. No single measure can provide users of financial information with sufficient information and only our disclosures read as a whole can be relied upon to adequately portray our financial position, liquidity, and results of operations. Fees deferred or waived by the Advisor and payments received from the Advisor and/or reimbursed to the Advisor pursuant to the expense support agreement are included in determining our net income (loss), which is used to determine FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO. If we had not received support from the Advisor and/or reimbursed the Advisor pursuant to the expense support agreement, our FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO would have been lower or higher. In addition, other REITs may define FFO and similar measures differently and choose to treat acquisition-related costs and potentially other accounting line items in a manner different from us due to specific differences in investment and operating strategy or for other reasons.
FFO. As defined by the National Association of Real Estate Investment Trusts (“NAREIT”), FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes certain items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization. We believe FFO is a meaningful supplemental measure of our operating performance that is useful to investors because depreciation and amortization in accordance with GAAP implicitly assumes that the value of real estate assets diminishes predictably over time. We use FFO as an indication of our consolidated operating performance and as a guide to making decisions about future investments.
Company-defined FFO. Similar to FFO, Company-defined FFO is a non-GAAP measure that excludes real estate-related depreciation and amortization and also excludes acquisition-related costs, which are characterized as expenses in determining net income (loss) under GAAP. The purchase of operating properties has been a key strategic objective of our business plan focused on generating growth in operating income and cash flow in order to make distributions to investors. However, the corresponding acquisition-related costs are driven by transactional activity rather than factors specific to the on-going operating performance of our properties or investments. Company-defined FFO may not be a complete indicator of our operating performance, and may not be a useful measure of the long-term operating performance of our properties if we do not continue to operate our business plan as disclosed.
MFFO. As defined by the Institute for Portfolio Alternatives (“IPA”), MFFO is a non-GAAP supplemental financial performance measure used to evaluate our operating performance. Similar to FFO, MFFO excludes items such as real estate-related depreciation and amortization. Similar to Company-defined FFO, MFFO excludes acquisition-related costs. MFFO also excludes straight-line rent and amortization of above- and below-market leases. In addition, there are certain other MFFO adjustments as defined by the IPA that are not applicable to us and are not included in our presentation of MFFO.

22


We are in the acquisition phase of our life cycle. Management does not include historical acquisition-related costs in its evaluation of future operating performance, as such costs are not expected to be incurred once our acquisition phase is complete. We use FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO to, among other things: (i) evaluate and compare the potential performance of the portfolio after the acquisition phase is complete, and (ii) evaluate potential performance to determine liquidity event strategies. Although some REITs may present similar measures differently from us, we believe FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO generally facilitate a comparison to other REITs that have similar operating characteristics to us. We believe investors are best served if the information that is made available to them allows them to align their analyses and evaluation with the same performance metrics used by management in planning and executing our business strategy. We believe that these performance metrics will assist investors in evaluating the potential performance of the portfolio after the completion of the acquisition phase. However, these supplemental, non-GAAP measures are not necessarily indicative of future performance and should not be considered as an alternative to net loss or to cash flows from operating activities and is not intended to be used as a liquidity measure indicative of cash flow available to fund our cash needs. Neither the SEC, NAREIT, nor any regulatory body has passed judgment on the acceptability of the adjustments used to calculate FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO. In the future, the SEC, NAREIT, or a regulatory body may decide to standardize the allowable adjustments across the non-traded REIT industry at which point we may adjust our calculation and characterization of FFO, Company-defined FFO and MFFO.

We believe that: (i) our FFO loss of $2.0 million, or $0.08 per share, as compared to the total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan) in the amount of $3.5 million, or $0.14 per share, for the three months ended March 31, 2019; and (ii) our FFO loss of $2.7 million, or $0.73 per share, as compared to the total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan) of $8.7 million, or $1.34 per share, for the period from inception (August 12, 2014) to March 31, 2019, are not indicative of future performance as we recently initiated the acquisition phase of our life cycle. See “Liquidity and Capital Resources—Distributions” below for details concerning our distributions, which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock by participants in our distribution reinvestment plan.
LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Liquidity
Our primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements during our acquisition phase are, and will be, net proceeds from our public offerings, including proceeds from the sale of shares offered through our distribution reinvestment plan, debt financings, cash resulting from the expense support provided by the Advisor and cash generated from operating activities. Our principal uses of funds are, and will be, for the acquisition of properties and other investments, capital expenditures, operating expenses, payments under our debt obligations, and distributions to our stockholders. Over time, we intend to fund a majority of our cash needs for items other than asset acquisitions, including the repayment of debt and capital expenditures, from operating cash flows and refinancings. There may be a delay between the deployment of proceeds raised from our public offerings and our purchase of assets, which could result in a delay in the benefits to our stockholders, if any, of returns generated from our investments.
The Advisor, subject to the oversight of our board of directors and, under certain circumstances, the investment committee or other committees established by our board of directors, will continue to evaluate potential acquisitions and will engage in negotiations with sellers and lenders on our behalf. Pending investment in property, debt, or other investments, we may decide to temporarily invest any unused proceeds from our public offering in certain investments that are expected to yield lower returns than those earned on real estate assets. These lower returns may affect our ability to make distributions to our stockholders. Potential future sources of capital include proceeds from secured or unsecured financings from banks or other lenders, proceeds from the sale of assets, and undistributed funds from operations.
We believe that our cash on-hand, anticipated net offering proceeds, anticipated financing activities and cash resulting from the expense support provided by the Advisor will be sufficient to meet our liquidity needs for the foreseeable future.
Cash Flows. The following table summarizes our cash flows, as determined on a GAAP basis, for the following periods:

Cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by approximately $3.2 million as compared to the same period in 2018, due to growth in our property operations, partially offset by advisory fees and expense reimbursements paid to the Advisor and its affiliates. Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased by approximately $32.4 million as compared to the same period in 2018 due to our acquisition activity during the three months ended March 31, 2019. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2019 increased approximately $23.9 million as compared to the same period in 2018 primarily due to an increase in net proceeds raised in our offering of $56.5 million, partially offset by negative net borrowing activity of $30.3 million, which was the result of aggregate proceeds received of $118.0 million from our line of credit and term loan offset by repayments of our line of credit of $147.0 million.

Capital Resources and Uses of Liquidity
In addition to our cash and cash equivalents balance available, our capital resources and uses of liquidity are as follows:
Line of Credit and Term Loan. On February 21, 2019, we amended and restated our existing $200.0 million credit facility to provide for a $200.0 million line of credit facility and the establishment of a $200.0 million term loan. We have the ability from time to time to increase the size of the credit facility by up to an additional $200.0 million for a total of up to $600.0 million, subject to receipt of lender commitments and satisfaction of other conditions. Any increase to the size of the credit facility may be in the form of an increase in the aggregate revolving loan commitments, the establishment of a term loan, or a combination of both. As of March 31, 2019, we had $90.0 million outstanding under our term loan with an effective interest rate of 3.75%, and no amounts outstanding under our line of credit. The unused and available portions under our line of credit were $199.9 million and $20.1 million, respectively, and we have the ability to borrow an additional $110.0 million under our term loan. Our $200.0 million line of credit matures in September 2020, and may be extended pursuant to two one-year extension options, subject to continuing compliance with certain financial covenants and other customary conditions. Our $200.0 million term loan matures in February 2024. Our line of credit and term loan borrowings are available for general corporate purposes including, but not limited to, the acquisition and operation of permitted investments by us. A pledge of equity interests in our subsidiaries that directly own unencumbered properties will be provided until such time as we elect to terminate such pledges, subject to satisfaction of certain financial covenants. Refer to “Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for additional information regarding our line of credit and term loans.
Debt Covenants. Our line of credit and term loan contain various property-level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants, as well as certain corporate level financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, and tangible net worth thresholds. These covenants may limit our ability to incur additional debt, to make borrowings under our line of credit, or to pay distributions. We were in compliance with our debt covenants as of March 31, 2019.
Offering Proceeds. As of March 31, 2019, aggregate gross proceeds raised since inception from our public and private offerings, including proceeds raised through our distribution reinvestment plan, were $301.2 million ($273.0 million net of direct selling costs).
Distributions. We intend to continue to accrue and make distributions on a regular basis. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, approximately 14.2% of our total gross distributions were paid from cash flows from operating activities, as determined on a GAAP basis, and 85.8% of our total gross distributions were funded from sources other than cash flows from operating activities, as determined on a GAAP basis; specifically 36.6% of our total gross distributions were paid from cash provided by expense support from the Advisor, and 49.2% of our total gross distributions were funded with proceeds from shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. Some or all of our future distributions may be paid from sources other than cash flows from operating activities, such as cash flows from financing activities, which include borrowings (including borrowings secured by our assets), proceeds from the issuance of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, proceeds from sales of assets, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees otherwise payable to the Advisor or its affiliates (including cash received pursuant to the expense support agreement), interest income from our cash balances, and the net proceeds from primary shares sold in our initial public offering. We have not established a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from any of these sources. The amount of any distributions will be determined by our board of directors, and will depend on, among other things, current and projected cash requirements, tax considerations and other factors deemed relevant by our board.
For the second quarter of 2019, our board of directors authorized monthly distributions to all common stockholders of record as of the close of business on the last business day of each month for the second quarter of 2019, or April 30, 2019, May 31, 2019 and June 30, 2019 (each a “Distribution Record Date”). The distributions were authorized at a quarterly rate of (i) $0.13625 per Class I share of common stock and (ii) $0.13625 per Class T share and per Class W share of common stock, less the respective annual distribution fees that are payable monthly with respect to such Class T shares and Class W shares. This quarterly rate is equal to a monthly rate of (i) $0.04542 per Class I share of common stock and (ii) $0.04542 per Class T share and per Class W share of common stock, less the respective annual distribution fees that are payable with respect to such Class T shares and Class W shares. Distributions for each month of the second quarter of 2019 have been or will be paid in cash or reinvested in shares of our common stock for those electing to participate in our distribution reinvestment plan following the close of business on the respective Distribution Record Date applicable to such monthly distributions.
There can be no assurances that the current distribution rate or amount per share will be maintained. In the near-term, we expect that we may need to continue to rely on expense support from the Advisor and sources other than cash flows from operations, as determined on a GAAP basis, to pay distributions, which if insufficient could negatively impact our ability to pay such distributions.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Advisor provided expense support of $1.3 million. See “Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further detail on the expense support provided during the quarter. For the year ended December 31, 2018, the Advisor provided expense support of $5.6 million. Refer to Item 8, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data” in our 2018 Form 10-K for a description of the expense support agreement.

Stockholders may elect to have their distributions reinvested in shares of our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan.
(3)
Gross distributions are total distributions before the deduction of any distribution fees relating to Class T shares and Class W shares issued in the primary portion of our initial public offering.
For the three months ended March 31, 2019, our cash flows provided by operating activities on a GAAP basis were $3.6 million, as compared to our aggregate total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) of $3.5 million. For the three months ended March 31, 2018, our cash flows provided by operating activities on a GAAP basis were $0.4 million, as compared to our aggregate total gross distributions declared (which are paid in cash or reinvested in shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan) of $0.4 million.
Refer to “Note 7 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” for further detail on our distributions.
Redemptions. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, we received eligible redemption requests for approximately 0.1 million shares of our common stock, all of which we redeemed using cash flows from financing activities, for an aggregate amount of approximately $0.8 million, or an average price of $10.02 per share. We had not redeemed any shares of our common stock and had not received any eligible requests for redemption pursuant to our share redemption program for the three months ended March 31, 2018. See Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds—Share Redemption Program,” for further description of our share redemption program.

As of May 8, 2019, approximately $1.6 billion in shares of our common stock remained available for sale pursuant to our initial public offering in any combination of Class T shares, Class W shares and Class I shares, including approximately $495.1 million in shares of common stock available for sale through our distribution reinvestment plan, which may be reallocated for sale in our primary offering.
Acquisitions Under Contract
As of May 13, 2019, we had entered into contracts to acquire properties with an aggregate contract purchase price of approximately $86.7 million, comprised of six industrial buildings. There can be no assurance that we will complete the acquisition of the properties under contract.
CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS
A summary of future obligations as of December 31, 2018 was disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K. Except as otherwise disclosed in “Note 5 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements” relating to borrowings under our line of credit and term loan, there have been no material changes outside the ordinary course of business from the future obligations disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
As of March 31, 2019, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements that have or are reasonably likely to have a material effect, on our financial condition, changes in our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING ESTIMATES
Our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with GAAP and in conjunction with the rules and regulations of the SEC. The preparation of our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements requires significant management judgments, assumptions, and estimates about matters that are inherently uncertain. These judgments affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and our disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. With different estimates or assumptions, materially different amounts could be reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements. Additionally, other companies may utilize different estimates that may impact the comparability of our results of operations to those of companies in similar businesses. For a detailed description of our critical accounting estimates, see Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our 2018 Form 10-K. As of March 31, 2019, our critical accounting estimates have not changed from those described in our 2018 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Interest Rate Risk
We may be exposed to the impact of interest rate changes. Our interest rate risk management objectives are to limit the impact of interest rate changes on earnings and cash flows, and optimize overall borrowing costs. To achieve these objectives, we plan to borrow on a fixed interest rate basis for longer-term debt and utilize interest rate swap agreements on certain variable interest rate debt in order to limit the effects of changes in interest rates on our results of operations. As of March 31, 2019, our debt outstanding consisted of borrowings under our term loan, and notes payable to investors in our private offering.
Fixed Interest Rate Debt. As of March 31, 2019, our fixed interest rate debt consisted of $0.4 million of notes payable issued pursuant to our private offering. The interest rate on these notes is fixed and therefore the notes are not subject to interest rate fluctuations. Based on our debt as of March 31, 2019, we do not expect that market fluctuations in interest rates will have a significant impact on our future earnings or operating cash flows.
Variable Interest Rate Debt. As of March 31, 2019, our variable interest rate debt consisted of $90.0 million of borrowings under our term loan. We had no amounts outstanding under our line of credit as of March 31, 2019. Interest rate changes on our variable-rate debt could impact our future earnings and cash flows, but would not significantly affect the fair value of such debt. As of March 31, 2019, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on $90.0 million of borrowings. A hypothetical 10% change in the average interest rate on the outstanding balance of our variable interest rate debt as of March 31, 2019, would change our annual interest expense by approximately $0.2 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Under the direction of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)) as of March 31, 2019. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2019, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective.
Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There have not been any changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) during the three months ended March 31, 2019 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the risk factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of our 2018 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or future results. The risks described in our 2018 Form 10-K are not the only risks facing us. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition, and/or operating results.
With the exception of the risk factor set forth below, which updates the risk factors disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2018 Form 10-K.
RISKS RELATED TO INVESTING IN OUR PUBLIC OFFERING
No rule or regulation requires that we calculate our NAV in a certain way, and our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, may adopt changes to the valuation procedures. In addition, because we do not include organization and offering expenses and acquisition expenses for which the Advisor has agreed to defer reimbursement in our calculation of NAV for a certain period of time, our NAV will be higher during the period of the deferral and may decrease once such deferral ends.
There are no existing rules or regulatory bodies that specifically govern the manner in which we calculate our NAV. As a result, it is important that our stockholders pay particular attention to the specific methodologies and assumptions we will use to calculate our NAV. Other public REITs may use different methodologies or assumptions to determine their NAV. In addition, each year our board of directors, including a majority of our independent directors, will review the appropriateness of our valuation procedures and may, at any time, adopt changes to the valuation procedures. For example, we do not currently include any enterprise value or real estate acquisition costs in our assets calculated for purposes of our NAV. If we acquire real property assets as a portfolio, we may pay a premium over the amount that we would pay for the assets individually. In addition, we will not include organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution fees) in our calculation of NAV for periods through December 31, 2019, but rather will amortize them to expense on a straight-line basis over the five years following December 31, 2019. Beginning January 1, 2020, all organization and offering expenses (other than selling commissions, dealer manager fees and distribution fees, which will affect the NAV as indicated below) incurred, as well as those expenses incurred prior to January 1, 2020 which will be amortized, will reduce NAV as part of our estimated income and expense accruals. We have adopted this methodology due to the Advisor’s agreement to advance all such organization and offering expenses through December 31, 2019 and to be reimbursed by us for such advanced organization and offering expenses ratably over the sixty months following December 31, 2019. Similarly, for NAV calculation purposes, any acquisition expenses incurred or paid which have not been reimbursed to the Advisor will not reduce NAV for periods through December 31, 2019, but rather will be amortized to expense on a straight-line basis over the eighteen months following December 31, 2019. Beginning January 1, 2020, all acquisition expenses incurred, as well as those expenses incurred prior to January 1, 2020, which will be amortized, will reduce NAV as part of our estimated income and expense accruals. We have adopted this methodology due to the Advisor’s agreement to defer reimbursement of all or a portion of acquisition expenses incurred or paid on our behalf if, in a given month, the reimbursement of acquisition expenses to the Advisor would cause the NAV per share to be lower than the lesser of $10.00 or the NAV per share calculated for the prior month, which we refer to as a shortfall. If the reimbursement would result in a shortfall, then the Advisor will defer reimbursement of acquisition expenses in the amount necessary to prevent a shortfall for such month. The Advisor will be reimbursed for any such unreimbursed acquisition expenses ratably over the eighteen months following December 31, 2019. Accordingly, during the period of the Advisor’s deferral of the reimbursement of organization and offering expenses and acquisition expenses, our NAV will be higher than it would otherwise be but for the deferral and may decrease once such deferral ends. Investors should consider this when determining to purchase shares of our common stock during the period of the deferral. As of March 31, 2019, the Advisor had incurred organization and offering expenses and acquisition expenses for which the Advisor had deferred reimbursement in an aggregate amount equal to $19.1 million. Our board of directors may change these or other aspects of our valuation procedures, which changes may have an adverse effect on our NAV and the price at which our stockholders may sell shares to us under our share redemption program. See our valuation procedures, filed as Exhibit 99.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for more details regarding our valuation methodologies, assumptions and procedures.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
Use of Proceeds
On February 18, 2016, our Registration Statement on Form S-11 (File No. 333-200594), pursuant to which we are making our initial public offering of up to $2.0 billion in shares of common stock, was declared effective under the Securities Act, and our initial public offering commenced the same day. Our initial public offering is a continuous offering that was initially expected to end no later than February 18, 2019. On January 4, 2019, we filed a new registration statement for the offering of up to $2.0 billion in Class T shares, Class W shares and Class I shares of common stock, consisting of up to $1.5 billion offered in the primary offering and up to $500.0 million offered under the distribution reinvestment plan. We may reallocate amounts between the primary offering and distribution reinvestment plan. This registration statement is not yet effective and our initial public offering will continue until the time that such registration statement becomes effective.
The table below summarizes the gross offering proceeds raised from our initial public offering, including shares issued pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan; the direct selling costs incurred by certain of our affiliates on our behalf in connection with the issuance and distribution of our registered securities; and the offering proceeds net of those direct selling costs.

The selling commissions and dealer manager fees were payable to the Dealer Manager. A substantial portion of the commissions and fees were reallowed by the Dealer Manager to participating broker dealers as commissions and marketing fees and expenses.

This amount excludes the distribution fees paid to the Dealer Manager, all or a portion of which are reallowed by the Dealer Manager to participating broker dealers or broker dealers servicing accounts of investors who own Class T shares or Class W shares, referred to as servicing broker dealers. The distribution fees are not paid from and do not reduce offering proceeds, but rather they reduce the distributions payable to stockholders with respect to Class T shares and Class W shares.
As of March 31, 2019, we owned and managed 17 buildings totaling approximately 3.2 million square feet for an aggregate total purchase price of approximately $344.8 million, exclusive of transfer taxes, due diligence expenses, and other closing costs.
Share Redemption Program
Subject to certain restrictions and limitations, our share redemption program may provide a limited opportunity for stockholders to have shares of our common stock redeemed for cash. To the extent our board of directors determines that we have sufficient available cash for redemptions, we initially intend to redeem shares under our share redemption program on a monthly basis; however, our board of directors may determine from time to time to adjust the timing of redemptions or suspend, terminate or otherwise modify our share redemption program.
While stockholders may request on a monthly basis that we redeem all or any portion of their shares pursuant to our share redemption program, we are not obligated to redeem any shares and may choose to redeem only some, or even none, of the shares that have been requested to be redeemed in any particular month, in our discretion. In addition, our ability to fulfill redemption requests is subject to a number of limitations. As a result, share redemptions may not be available each month. Under our share redemption program, to the extent we determine to redeem shares in any particular month, we will only redeem shares as of the last calendar day of that month (each such date, a “Redemption Date”). Redemptions will be made at the transaction price in effect on the Redemption Date, except that all shares of our common stock that have not been outstanding for at least one year will be redeemed at 95.0% of the transaction price and Class T shares that have been outstanding for at least one year but less than two years will be redeemed at 97.5% of the transaction price. Each of these deductions is referred to as an “Early Redemption Deduction.” An Early Redemption Deduction will not be applied with

30


respect to: (i) Class W shares and Class I shares that have been outstanding for at least one year; and (ii) Class T shares that have been outstanding for at least two years. The “transaction price” generally will be equal to the NAV per share of our common stock most recently disclosed by us. We will redeem shares at a price that we believe reflects the NAV per share of such stock more appropriately than the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share, including by updating a previously disclosed transaction price, in cases where we believe there has been a material change (positive or negative) to the NAV per share relative to the most recently disclosed monthly NAV per share. An Early Redemption Deduction may be waived in certain circumstances including: (i) in the case of redemption requests arising from the death or qualified disability of the holder; (ii) in the event that a stockholder’s shares are redeemed because the stockholder has failed to maintain the $2,000 minimum account balance; or (iii) with respect to shares purchased through our distribution reinvestment plan or received from us as a stock dividend. To have shares redeemed, a stockholder’s redemption request and required documentation must be received in good order by 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the second to last business day of the applicable month. Settlements of share redemptions will be made within three business days of the Redemption Date. An investor may withdraw its redemption request by notifying the transfer agent before 4:00 p.m. (Eastern time) on the last business day of the applicable month.
Under our share redemption program, we may redeem during any calendar month shares whose aggregate value (based on the price at which the shares are redeemed) is 2.0% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the previous quarter and during any calendar quarter whose aggregate value (based on the price at which the shares are redeemed) is up to 5.0% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the prior calendar quarter. During a given quarter, if in each of the first two months of such quarter the 2.0% redemption limit is reached and stockholders’ redemptions are reduced pro rata for such months, then in the third and final month of that quarter, the applicable limit for such month will likely be less than 2.0% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the previous month because the redemptions for that month, combined with the redemptions in the previous two months, cannot exceed 5% of our aggregate NAV as of the last calendar day of the prior calendar quarter.
Although the vast majority of our assets consist of properties that cannot generally be readily liquidated on short notice without impacting our ability to realize full value upon their disposition, we intend to maintain a number of sources of liquidity including: (i) cash equivalents (e.g. money market funds), other short-term investments, U.S. government securities, agency securities and liquid real estate-related securities; and (ii) one or more borrowing facilities. We may fund redemptions from any available source of funds, including operating cash flows, borrowings, proceeds from our public offering and/or sales of our assets.
Should redemption requests, in our judgment, place an undue burden on our liquidity, adversely affect our operations or risk having an adverse impact on us as a whole, or should we otherwise determine that investing our liquid assets in real properties or other illiquid investments rather than redeeming our shares is in the best interests of the company as a whole, then we may choose to redeem fewer shares than have been requested to be redeemed, or none at all. In the event that we determine to redeem some but not all of the shares submitted for redemption during any month for any of the foregoing reasons, shares submitted for redemption during such month will be redeemed on a pro rata basis. All unsatisfied redemption requests must be resubmitted after the start of the next month or quarter, or upon the recommencement of the share redemption program, as applicable. If the transaction price for the applicable month is not made available by the tenth business day prior to the last business day of the month (or is changed after such date), then no redemption requests will be accepted for such month and stockholders who wish to have their shares redeemed the following month must resubmit their redemption requests.
The preceding summary does not purport to be a complete summary of our share redemption program and is qualified in its entirety by reference to the share redemption program, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.3 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Refer to Item 2, “Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” for additional details regarding our redemption history.
