NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

1.    BASIS OF PRESENTATION

Unless the context otherwise requires, the “Company” refers to Industrial Income Trust 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, 2013, filed with the SEC on February 19, 2014.

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 Issued and Adopted Accounting Standard

In April 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity” (“ASU 2014-08”), which changes the criteria at which a disposal will qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosure of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Under the revised standard, the definition of discontinued operations has been changed so that only disposals of components that represent strategic shifts qualify for discontinued operations reporting. As permitted, the Company adopted ASU 2014-08 early, and it became effective for the Company for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on the Company’s results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

2.    INVESTMENT IN REAL ESTATE PROPERTIES

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company’s consolidated investment in real estate properties consisted of 277 and 296 industrial buildings, respectively, totaling approximately 54.8 million and 57.2 million square feet, respectively.

Debt Covenants

The Company’s mortgage note financings and secured line of credit contain various property level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loans contain certain corporate level financial covenants, including leverage ratio, fixed charge coverage ratio, and tangible net worth thresholds. The Company was in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2014.

Derivative Instruments

To manage interest rate risk for certain of its variable rate debt, the Company uses interest rate swaps as part of its risk management strategy. These derivatives are designed to mitigate the risk of future interest rate increases by providing a fixed interest rate for a limited, pre-determined period of time. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involved the receipt of variable-rate amounts from a counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount. As of March 31, 2014, the Company had seven outstanding interest rate swap contracts that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk. Certain of the Company’s variable rate borrowings are not hedged, and therefore, to an extent, the Company has on-going exposure to interest rate movements.

The effective portion of the change in the fair value of derivatives designated and that qualify as cash flow hedges is recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income (“AOCI”) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets and is subsequently reclassified into earnings as interest expense for the period that the hedged forecasted transaction affects earnings, which is when the interest expense is recognized on the related debt. The ineffective portion of the change in fair value of the derivatives is recognized directly in earnings. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, there was no hedge ineffectiveness. The Company expects no hedge ineffectiveness in the next 12 months.

The following table summarizes the location and fair value of the cash flow hedges on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets:

6.     FAIR VALUE

Fair value measurements are determined based on the assumptions that market participants would use in pricing the asset or liability. Fair value measurements are categorized into one of three levels of the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of significant input used. In instances where the determination of the fair value measurement is based on inputs from different levels of the fair value hierarchy, the level in the fair value hierarchy within which the entire fair value measurement falls is based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement in its entirety. The Company’s assessment of the significance of a particular input to the fair value measurement in its entirety requires judgment, and considers factors specific to the asset or liability. Considerable judgment and a high degree of subjectivity are involved in developing these estimates. These estimates may differ from the actual amounts that the Company could realize upon settlement.

The fair value hierarchy is as follows:

Level 1—Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2—Other observable inputs, either directly or indirectly, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, including:

 

   

Quoted prices for similar assets/liabilities in active markets;

 

   

Quoted prices for identical or similar assets/liabilities in non-active markets (e.g., few transactions, limited information, non-current prices, high variability over time);

 

   

Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset/liability (e.g., interest rates, yield curves, volatilities, default rates); and

 

   

Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3—Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data.

Table of Contents

As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, the Company had no financial instruments that were transferred among the fair value hierarchy levels. The Company also had no non-financial assets or liabilities that were required to be measured at fair value on a recurring basis.

The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair value of each class of financial instrument:

Derivative Instruments. The derivative instruments are interest rate swaps. The interest rate swaps are standard cash flow hedges whose fair value is estimated using market-standard valuation models. Such models involve using market-based observable inputs, including interest rate curves. The Company incorporates credit valuation adjustments to appropriately reflect both its nonperformance risk and the respective counterparty’s nonperformance risk in the fair value measurements. Due to the interest rate swaps being unique and not actively traded, the fair value is classified as Level 2. See “Note 5” above for further discussion of the Company’s derivative instruments.

The table below includes fair values for certain financial instruments for which it is practicable to estimate fair value. The carrying values and fair values of these financial instruments were as follows:

Mortgage notes

     1,124,651        1,137,817        1,126,631         1,122,602   

In addition to the previously described methods and assumptions for the derivative instruments, the following are the methods and assumptions used to estimate the fair value of the other financial instruments:

Notes Receivable. The fair value is estimated by discounting the expected cash flows on the notes receivable at current rates at which the Company believes similar loans would be made. Credit spreads and market interest rates used to determine the fair value of these instruments are based on Level 3 inputs.

Lines of Credit. The fair value of the lines of credit is estimated using discounted cash flow methods based on the Company’s estimate of market interest rates, which the Company has determined to be its best estimate of current market spreads over comparable term benchmark rates of similar instruments. Credit spreads relating to the underlying instruments are based on Level 3 inputs.

Unsecured Term Loans. The fair value of the term loans is estimated using discounted cash flow methods based on the Company’s estimate of market interest rates, which the Company has determined to be its best estimate of current market spreads over comparable term benchmark rates of similar instruments. Credit spreads relating to the underlying instruments are based on Level 3 inputs.

Mortgage Notes. The fair value of the mortgage notes is estimated using discounted cash flow methods based on the Company’s estimate of market interest rates, which the Company has determined to be its best estimate of current market spreads over comparable term benchmark rates of similar instruments. Credit spreads relating to the underlying instruments are based on Level 3 inputs.

The fair values of cash and cash equivalents, restricted cash, tenant receivables, accounts payable, and distributions payable approximate their carrying values because of the short-term nature of these instruments. As such, these assets and liabilities are not listed in the carrying value and fair value table above.

9.     RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

The Company relies on Industrial Income Advisors LLC (the “Advisor”), a related party, to manage the Company’s day-to-day operating and acquisition activities and to implement the Company’s investment strategy pursuant to the terms of a fifth amended and restated advisory agreement (the “Advisory Agreement”), dated February 21, 2014, by and among the Company, Industrial Income Operating Partnership LP (the “Operating Partnership”), and the Advisor. The Advisor is considered to be a related party of the Company because certain indirect owners and officers of the Advisor serve as directors and/or executive officers of the Company. Dividend Capital Securities LLC (the “Dealer Manager”), also a related party, provides dealer manager services. The Advisor and Dealer Manager receive compensation in the form of fees and expense reimbursements for services relating to the Company’s public offerings and for the investment and management of the Company’s assets. The following summarizes the fees and expense reimbursements incurred for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013:

Sales Commissions. Sales commissions were payable to the Dealer Manager, all of which were reallowed to participating unaffiliated broker-dealers, and were equal to up to 7.0% of the gross proceeds from the sale of primary shares in the Company’s follow-on offering.

Dealer Manager Fees. Dealer manager fees were payable to the Dealer Manager and were equal to up to 2.5% of the gross proceeds from sale of primary shares in the Company’s follow-on offering.

Acquisition Fees. For each real property acquired in the operational stage, the acquisition fee is an amount equal to 1.0% of the total purchase price of the properties acquired (or the Company’s proportional interest therein), including in all instances real property held in joint ventures or co-ownership arrangements. In connection with providing services related to the development, construction, improvement and stabilization, including tenant improvements of real properties, which the Company refers to collectively as development services, or overseeing the provision of these services by third parties on the Company’s behalf, which it refers to as development oversight services, the acquisition fee, which the Company refers to as the development acquisition fee, will equal up to 4.0% of total project cost, including debt, whether borrowed or assumed (or the Company’s proportional interest therein with respect to real properties held in joint ventures or co-ownership arrangements). If the Advisor engages a third party to provide development services directly to the Company, the third party will be compensated directly by the Company and the Advisor will receive the development acquisition fee if it provides the development oversight services.

Asset Management Fees. Asset management fees consist of a monthly fee of one-twelfth of 0.80% of the aggregate cost (including debt, whether borrowed or assumed) (before non-cash reserves and depreciation) of each real property asset within the Company’s portfolio (or the Company’s proportional interest therein with

Table of Contents

respect to real estate property held in joint ventures, co-ownership arrangements or real estate-related entities in which the Company owns a majority economic interest or that the Company consolidates for financial reporting purposes in accordance with GAAP).

Organization and Offering Expenses. The Company reimburses the Advisor for cumulative organization expenses and for cumulative expenses of its offerings up to 1.75% of the gross offering proceeds from its offerings. Organizational costs are expensed and offering costs are reflected as a reduction in additional paid in capital. The Advisor or an affiliate of the Advisor is responsible for the payment of the Company’s cumulative organization and offering expenses to the extent the total of such cumulative expenses exceeds the 1.75% organization and offering expense reimbursements from the Company’s offerings, without recourse against or reimbursement by the Company.

Other Expense Reimbursements. In addition to the reimbursement of organization and offering expenses, the Company is also obligated, subject to certain limitations, to reimburse the Advisor for certain costs incurred by the Advisor or its affiliates, such as personnel and overhead expenses, in connection with the services provided to the Company under the Advisory Agreement, provided that the Advisor does not receive a specific fee for the activities which generate the expenses to be reimbursed. The Advisor may utilize its officers to provide such services and in certain instances those individuals may include the Company’s principal executive officer and principal financial officer.

The table below summarizes the fees and expenses incurred by the Company for services provided by the Advisor and the Dealer Manager related to the services described above, and any related amounts payable:

(1) In addition, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, the Company paid to the Advisor approximately $0.1 million of development acquisition fees, which is included in the total development project cost of the respective properties, and is capitalized in construction in progress on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.

Joint Venture Fees. The Company’s previously unconsolidated joint venture, IIT North American Industrial Fund I Limited Partnership (“Fund I Partnership”), paid fees to the Advisor or its affiliates for providing services to the Fund I Partnership. These fees were paid directly to the Advisor or its affiliates or indirectly, including, without limitation, through the Company or its subsidiaries. For the three months ended March 31, 2013, the Fund I Partnership paid to the Advisor approximately $0.6 million in fees for providing a variety of services, including with respect to acquisition and asset management activities. With respect to the Company’s percentage interest in the Fund I Partnership, the Company paid to the Advisor any additional amount necessary, after taking into account amounts paid directly by the Fund I Partnership to the Advisor, to provide that the Advisor received the total amount of fees payable pursuant to the Advisory Agreement.

ITEM 2. MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

References to the terms “we,” “our,” or “us” refer to Industrial Income Trust 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, rent and occupancy growth, general conditions in the geographic area where we 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, business 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:

 

   

The failure of acquisitions to perform as we expect;

 

   

Our failure to successfully integrate acquired properties and operations;

 

   

Unexpected delays or increased costs associated with our 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 Industrial Income Advisors Group LLC (the “Sponsor”), the Advisor, and their affiliates;

OVERVIEW

General

Industrial Income Trust Inc. is a Maryland corporation formed on May 19, 2009 that has operated and elected to be treated as a REIT for U.S. federal income tax purposes, commencing with the taxable year ended December 31, 2010. We were organized 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 utilize an Umbrella Partnership Real Estate Investment Trust (“UPREIT”) organizational structure to hold all or substantially all of our assets through the Operating Partnership.

On December 18, 2009, we commenced our initial offering of up to $2.0 billion in shares of our common stock, including $1.5 billion in shares of common stock offered at a price of $10.00 per share and $500.0 million in shares offered under our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.50 per share. On April 17, 2012, immediately following the end of our initial offering, which closed on April 16, 2012, we commenced a follow-on offering of up to $2.4 billion in shares of our common stock, including $1.8 billion in shares of common stock offered at a price of $10.40 per share and $600.0 million in shares offered under our distribution reinvestment plan at a price of $9.88 per share. On July 18, 2013, we terminated the offering of primary shares pursuant to our follow-on offering. We are continuing to offer and sell shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan, which we may terminate at any time, in our sole discretion. As of March 31, 2014, we raised gross proceeds of approximately $2.1 billion from the sale of 210.1 million shares of our common stock in our public offerings, including approximately $95.6 million from the sale of 9.7 million shares of our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan.

As of March 31, 2014, our consolidated real estate portfolio included 297 industrial buildings totaling approximately 57.6 million square feet with 548 customers throughout the U.S. with a weighted-average remaining lease term (based on square feet) of 5.2 years. Of the 297 industrial buildings we owned and managed as of March 31, 2014:

 

   

286 industrial buildings totaling approximately 55.4 million square feet comprised our operating portfolio. Our operating portfolio consists of stabilized properties, which includes the 20 industrial buildings classified as held for sale, and was 94% occupied (94% leased). 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.

 

   

11 industrial buildings totaling approximately 2.2 million square feet comprised our development portfolio, which includes buildings acquired with the intention to reposition or redevelop, or buildings recently completed which have not yet reached stabilization. We generally consider a building to be stabilized on the earlier to occur of the first anniversary of a building’s completion or a building achieving 90% occupancy.

We have used the net proceeds from our public offerings primarily to make investments in real estate assets. We will continue to focus on select acquisition and development opportunities consisting primarily of high-quality distribution warehouses and other industrial properties that we could acquire through funds provided by debt financings, cash flows generated from our operating activities, cash on-hand or proceeds from dispositions. The number and type of properties we may acquire and debt and other investments we may make will depend upon real estate market conditions 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. As of March 31, 2014 and December 31, 2013, our consolidated debt leverage ratio (calculated as the book value of our debt to total assets) was 53.0% and 51.9%, respectively.

Industrial Real Estate Outlook

The U.S. industrial property sector continues to show prospects for improvement supported by: (i) improving U.S. international trade volume as reflected in the increasing levels of both imported and exported goods; (ii) positive growth in U.S. gross domestic product (“GDP”) over the past 12 quarters; (iii) increased domestic consumer spending, including significant growth in online retailing (or e-tailing); (iv) positive net absorption in our targeted markets (the net change in total occupied industrial space); and (v) strong fundamental trends in both population and employment growth.

While the strength and sustainability of the recovery remain uncertain, both U.S. GDP and consumer spending indicators remain positive and we believe will continue growing over the next several quarters, which is encouraging, as there is a high correlation between these statistics and industrial demand. Further, forecasted growth in employment and population will help drive consumer spending, leading to increased utilization of distribution warehouses. U.S. international trade value has grown with an approximate 8% compounded annual growth rate over the past five years. The resurgence in export / import levels has generated increased demand for industrial space in key U.S. logistic markets resulting in 16 consecutive quarters of positive net absorption and providing strong prospects for rent growth over the next several years.

Since the recession, the volume of mortgage lending for commercial real estate and unsecured credit for REITs has increased and lending terms have improved; however, lending criteria may become more stringent, which may affect our ability to finance future operations and acquisition and development activities. We have managed, and expect to continue to manage, our financing strategy under the current mortgage lending and REIT financing environment 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 assuming existing mortgage loans in connection with certain property acquisitions, or any combination of the foregoing.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Summary of 2014 Activities

During the three months ended March 31, 2014, we completed the following activities:

 

   

We leased approximately 1.5 million square feet, which included 0.5 million square feet of new leases and expansions and 1.0 million square feet of renewals and future leases. Future leases represent new leases for units that are entered into while the units are occupied by the current customer.

 

   

As of March 31, 2014, our total operating portfolio was 94% occupied and 94% leased, as compared to 94% occupied and 95% leased as of December 31, 2013.

 

   

As of March 31, 2014, the Company had two buildings under construction totaling approximately 1.0 million square feet and six buildings where construction has not yet commenced totaling approximately 0.6 million square feet.

 

   

As of March 31, 2014, we had 20 industrial buildings representing $100.4 million of net investment in real estate that met the criteria to be held for sale, all of which were sold in April 2014.

Our operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013 are not directly comparable, as we were in the acquisition phase of our life cycle during 2013, and as such, the results of our operations were primarily impacted by the timing of our acquisitions and the equity raised through our public offerings. Furthermore, our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 are not indicative of those expected in future periods as we sold all of our held for sale assets subsequent to March 31, 2014.

Results for the Three Months Ended March 31, 2014 Compared to the Three Months Ended March 31, 2013

The following table summarizes our results of operations for the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the three months ended March 31, 2013. We evaluate the performance of 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 have defined the same store portfolio to include operating properties owned for the entirety of both the current and prior reporting periods for which the operations had been stabilized. Other properties include buildings not meeting the same store criteria. The same store operating portfolio for the periods presented below included 186 buildings owned as of January 1, 2013, and represents approximately 62% of total rentable square feet or 64% of total revenues as of March 31, 2014.

Rental Revenues. Rental revenues are comprised of base rent, straight-line rent, amortization of above- and below-market lease assets and liabilities, and tenant reimbursement revenue. Total rental revenues increased significantly for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to the increase in non-same store rental revenues, which was attributable to the growth in our portfolio. For the three months ended March 31, 2014, non-same store rental revenues reflects the addition of 95 buildings we acquired since January 1, 2013, which includes the consolidated results of the 31 properties acquired in conjunction with our acquisition of our partner’s equity interest in the Fund I Partnership joint venture that were previously unconsolidated. Same store rental revenues for the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $2.0 million, or 4.0%, as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to an increase in tenant reimbursement revenue, which was driven by higher reimbursable expenses.

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 certain non-recoverable expenses such as consulting services and roof repairs; and property operating expenses for unoccupied spaces. Total rental expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to an increase in non-same store rental expenses attributable to the significant increase in the number of buildings owned compared to the same period during 2013. Same store rental expenses increased by $2.1 million, or 17.0%, for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to higher snow removal costs due to the extreme snowfall in the first quarter of 2014, as well as an increase in certain real estate taxes.

Other Expenses. Other expenses increased for the three months ended March 31, 2014, as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to:

 

   

an increase in real estate-related depreciation and amortization expense resulting from the continued growth of our portfolio since March 31, 2013, as well as an increase in capital expenditures;

 

   

an increase in interest expense primarily due to an increase in net borrowings of $770.3 million since March 31, 2013, which was partially offset by a lower average interest rate of 3.4% as of March 31, 2014, as compared to 3.8% as of March 31, 2013; and

 

   

an increase in asset management fees as a result of the significant growth of our portfolio over the past 12 months.

ADDITIONAL MEASURES OF PERFORMANCE

Net Operating Income (“NOI”)

We define NOI as GAAP rental revenues less GAAP rental expenses. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, NOI was $58.3 million and $38.2 million, respectively. 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, 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 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 net 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 net loss to NOI for the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013.

Funds from Operations (“FFO”), Company-Defined FFO and Modified Funds from Operations (“MFFO”)

We believe that FFO, Company-defined FFO, and MFFO, in addition to net 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

 

22


Table of Contents

be considered as an alternative to net 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. 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 and gains or losses on sales of assets. 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. In addition, FFO adjusts for non-recurring gains or losses on the acquisition of certain joint venture properties. 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 gains or losses on sales of assets, and also excludes non-recurring acquisition-related costs (including acquisition fees paid to the Advisor) and a non-recurring loss from the early extinguishment of debt, each of which are characterized as expenses in determining net 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, as the corresponding acquisition-related costs are paid in cash, all paid and accrued acquisition-related costs negatively impact our operating performance and cash flows from operating activities during the period in which properties are acquired. In addition, if we acquire a property after all offering proceeds from our public offerings have been invested, there will not be any offering proceeds to pay the corresponding acquisition-related costs. Accordingly, unless the Advisor determines to waive the payment or reimbursement of these acquisition-related costs, then such costs will be paid from additional debt, operational earnings or cash flow, net proceeds from the sale of properties, or ancillary cash flows. As such, Company-defined FFO may not be a complete indicator of our operating performance, especially during periods in which properties are being acquired, 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 Investment Program Association (“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 and gains or losses on sales of assets. Similar to Company-defined FFO, MFFO excludes acquisition-related costs and loss from the early extinguishment of debt. 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.

Management does not include historical acquisition-related expenses in its evaluation of future operating performance, as such costs are one-time costs related to the acquisition. In addition, management does not include a non-recurring loss from the early extinguishment of debt in its evaluation of future operating performance as the transaction that resulted in the loss was driven by factors relating to the capital markets, rather than factors specific to the on-going operating performance of our properties. We use 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. We believe Company-defined FFO and MFFO facilitate a comparison to other REITs that are not engaged in significant acquisition activity and have similar operating characteristics as 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

 

23


Table of Contents

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 are 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 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 Company-defined FFO and MFFO.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity

Our primary sources of capital for meeting our cash requirements are cash flows generated by our real estate operations, debt financings and refinancings, and potential asset sales. Our principal uses of funds are and will continue to be for select acquisition and development of properties and other investments, operating expenses, distributions to our stockholders, payments under our debt obligations, and capital expenditures, which we expect to be able to pay over the next 12 months from our primary sources of capital. We believe that our cash on-hand, cash flows from operations, and anticipated financing and disposition activities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated future operating, distribution, debt service, and development and other capital requirements.

Cash provided by operating activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 increased by $2.7 million as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily driven by the growth in performance of our real estate portfolio, which resulted in a significant increase in net cash flows generated from our operating properties, partially offset by net increases of working capital accounts.

Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by $63.5 million as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily due to a reduction in our acquisition activity during the three months ended March 31, 2014 as compared to the same period in 2013, partially offset by an increase in capital expenditures.

Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended March 31, 2014 decreased by $77.1 million as compared to the same period in 2013, primarily as a result of us closing our offering of primary shares pursuant to our follow-on offering in July 2013, and us no longer being in the acquisition phase of our life cycle.

Capital Resources and Uses of Liquidity

In addition to cash flows from operations and cash and cash equivalent balances available, our capital resources and uses of liquidity are as follows:

Lines of Credit. As of March 31, 2014, we had $205.0 million outstanding under our unsecured revolving credit agreement. The unused portion was $295.0 million, of which $95.7 million was available. Our unsecured line of credit is available for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to the acquisition and operation of industrial properties and other permitted investments. As of March 31, 2014, we had $85.0 million outstanding under our secured line of credit. The unused portion was $55.0 million, of which $17.1 million was available. Our secured line of credit is available to finance the acquisition and operation of collateral properties. Amounts under this line of credit become available when properties are added as collateral pursuant to the loan agreement.

Unsecured Term Loans. As of March 31, 2014, we had $500.0 million outstanding under our unsecured term loan facilities with a weighted-average stated interest rate of 2.13%, which includes the effect of the interest rate swap agreement relating to our $200.0 million unsecured term loan. Our unsecured term loans are available for general corporate purposes, including but not limited to the acquisition and operation of industrial properties and other permitted investments.

Mortgage Note Financings. As of March 31, 2014, we had property-level borrowings of approximately $1.1 billion outstanding. These borrowings are secured by mortgages or deeds of trust and related assignments and security interests in the collateralized properties, and had a weighted-average stated interest rate of 4.25%, which includes the effect of an interest rate swap agreement. Refer to “Note 5” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for additional details relating to our interest rate swaps. The proceeds from the mortgage note financings were used to partially finance certain of our acquisitions, and can be used to finance our capital requirements, which may include the funding of future acquisitions, capital expenditures, distributions, and general corporate purposes.

Debt Covenants. Our mortgage notes and secured line of credit contain various property level covenants, including customary affirmative and negative covenants. In addition, the unsecured line of credit and unsecured term loans contain 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, make borrowings under our lines of credit, or pay distributions. We were in compliance with all debt covenants as of March 31, 2014.

Distributions. We intend to continue to make distributions on a quarterly basis. For the quarter ended March 31, 2014, 50% of our total distributions were paid from cash flows from operating activities, as determined on a GAAP basis, and 50% of our total distributions were funded from sources other than cash flows from operating activities, specifically with proceeds from the issuance of distribution reinvestment plan (“DRIP”) shares. Some or all of our future distributions may be paid from these sources, as well as from the sales of assets, cash resulting from a waiver or deferral of fees otherwise payable to the Advisor or its affiliates, and interest income from our cash balances. We have not established a cap on the amount of our distributions that may be paid from any of these sources. Distributions will be authorized at the discretion of 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. Our board of directors has authorized cash distributions at a quarterly rate of $0.15625 per share of common stock for the second quarter of 2014.

There can be no assurances that the current distribution rate or amount per share will be maintained. We may need to utilize cash flows from financing activities, as determined on a GAAP basis, to supplement the payment of cash distributions, which if insufficient could negatively impact our ability to pay distributions.

The following table outlines sources used to pay distributions for the periods indicated below:

(3) Stockholders may elect to have cash distributions reinvested in shares of our common stock through our distribution reinvestment plan. Participation in our distribution reinvestment plan has averaged approximately 48% of total distributions since inception.

Redemptions. For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we received eligible redemption requests related to approximately 0.4 million and 0.2 million shares of our common stock, respectively, all of which we redeemed using cash flows from financing activities, for an aggregate amount of approximately $4.2 million, or an average price of $10.05 per share, and $2.3 million, or an average price of $9.83 per share, respectively. The aggregate amount expended for redemptions under our share redemption program is expected to be subject to certain caps and is not expected to exceed the aggregate proceeds received from the sale of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan. However, to the extent that the aggregate proceeds received from the sale of shares pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan are not at a level sufficient to fund redemption requests, subject to a five percent limitation as discussed in Part II, Item 2. “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds—Share Redemption Program,” our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, choose to use other sources of funds to redeem shares of our common stock. Such sources of funds could include cash on hand and cash available from borrowings, to the extent that such funds are not otherwise dedicated to a particular use, such as working capital, cash distributions to stockholders, debt repayment, and purchases of property investments. Our board of directors may, in its sole discretion, amend, suspend, or terminate the share redemption program at any time if it determines that the funds available to fund the share redemption program are needed for other business or operational purposes or that amendment, suspension, or termination of the share redemption program is in the best interests of our stockholders.

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Dispositions

In April 2014, we sold 20 industrial buildings aggregating 2.8 million square feet. Of these dispositions: (i) one building totaling 1.3 million square feet was located in the Atlanta market; (ii) five buildings totaling 0.9 million square feet were located in the Dallas market; (iii) 13 buildings totaling 0.5 million square feet were located in the Portland market; and (iv) one building totaling 0.1 million square feet was located in the Tampa market. Pursuant to the Advisory Agreement, we paid an asset management fee in an amount equal to 2.0% of the total consideration in connection with the dispositions.

CONTRACTUAL OBLIGATIONS

A summary of future obligations as of December 31, 2013, was disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013, as filed with the SEC on February 19, 2014 (“2013 Form 10-K”). Except as otherwise disclosed in “Note 5” of our condensed consolidated financial statements relating to our principal payments due on our debt for the next five years and thereafter, there were no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business.

OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS

As of March 31, 2014, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements, other than those disclosed under contractual obligations that have or are reasonably likely to have an effect on our financial condition, revenues or expenses, results of operations, liquidity, capital expenditures, or capital resources.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, “Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity,” which changes the criteria at which a disposal will qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosure of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. Under the revised standard, the definition of discontinued operations has been changed so that only disposals of components that represent strategic shifts

Table of Contents

qualify for discontinued operations reporting. As permitted, we adopted ASU 2014-08 early, and it became effective for us for the quarter ended March 31, 2014. The adoption of this standard did not have an impact on our results of operations, financial position or liquidity.

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 periods. 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 2013 Form 10-K. As of March 31, 2014, our critical accounting estimates have not changed from those described in our 2013 Form 10-K.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Interest Rate Risk

Our market risk is exposure to changes in interest rates. 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 primarily 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 part of our risk management strategy, we enter into interest swap agreements with high-quality counterparties to manage the impact of variable interest rates on interest expense. As of March 31, 2014, our debt instruments were comprised of mortgage note financings, unsecured term loans, and borrowings under our lines of credit.

Fixed Interest Rate Debt. As of March 31, 2014, our consolidated fixed interest rate debt consisted of mortgage notes and our $200.0 million unsecured term loan and represented 68.7% of our total consolidated debt (84.4% of our total consolidated debt assuming the effects of the forward-starting interest rate swap agreements relating to our $300.0 million unsecured term loan). Interest rate fluctuations will generally not affect our future earnings or cash flows on our fixed interest rate debt unless such instruments mature or are otherwise terminated. However, interest rate changes could affect the fair value of our fixed interest rate debt. As of March 31, 2014, both the fair value and the carrying value of our consolidated fixed interest rate debt were approximately $1.3 billion. The fair value estimate of our fixed interest rate debt was estimated using a discounted cash flow analysis utilizing rates we would expect to pay for debt of a similar type and remaining maturity if the loans were originated on March 31, 2014. As we expect to hold our fixed interest rate debt instruments to maturity, based on the underlying structure of the debt instrument, and that the amounts due under such instruments are limited to the outstanding principal balance and any accrued and unpaid interest, we do not expect that market fluctuations in interest rates, and the resulting change in fair value of our fixed interest rate debt instruments, would have a significant impact on our operating cash flows.

Variable Interest Rate Debt. As of March 31, 2014, our consolidated variable interest rate debt consisted of borrowings under our lines of credit, our $300.0 million unsecured term loan, and a mortgage note, and represented 31.3% of our total consolidated debt (15.6% of our total consolidated debt assuming the effects of the forward-starting interest rate swap agreements relating to our $300.0 million unsecured term loan). Interest rate changes in LIBOR could impact our future earnings and cash flows, but would not significantly affect the fair value of the variable interest rate debt instruments. As of March 31, 2014, we were exposed to market risks related to fluctuations in interest rates on approximately $599.1 million of aggregate consolidated borrowings. A hypothetical 10% change in the average interest rate on the outstanding balance of our variable interest rate debt as of March 31, 2014, would change our annual interest expense by approximately $223,000.

Derivative Instruments. As of March 31, 2014, we had seven outstanding interest rate swaps that were designated as cash flow hedges of interest rate risk, with a total notional amount of $507.6 million. See “Note 5” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for more information concerning our derivative instruments.

 

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of 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 Exchange Act) as of March 31, 2014. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that, as of March 31, 2014, 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, 2014 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 2013 Form 10-K, which could materially affect our business, financial condition, and/or future results. The risks described in our 2013 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 revised risk factor set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors disclosed in our 2013 Form 10-K.

RISKS RELATED TO THE ADVISOR AND ITS AFFILIATES

We will compete with entities sponsored or advised by affiliates of our Sponsor for opportunities to acquire or sell investments, and for customers, which may have an adverse impact on our operations.

We will compete with entities sponsored or advised by affiliates of our Sponsor whether existing or created in the future, for opportunities to acquire, finance or sell certain types of properties. We may also buy, finance or sell properties at the same time as entities sponsored or advised by affiliates of our Sponsor are buying, financing or selling properties. In this regard, there is a risk that the Advisor will purchase a property that provides lower returns to us than a property purchased by entities sponsored or advised by affiliates of our Sponsor. Certain entities sponsored or advised by affiliates of our Sponsor own and/or manage properties in geographical areas in which we expect to own properties. Therefore, our properties may compete for customers with other properties owned and/or managed by entities sponsored or advised by affiliates of our Sponsor. The Advisor may face conflicts of interest when evaluating customer leasing opportunities for our properties and other properties owned and/or managed by entities sponsored or advised by affiliates of our Sponsor and these conflicts of interest may have a negative impact on our ability to attract and retain customers.

In addition, Dividend Capital Diversified Property Fund Inc. (“DPF”) has priority over us and Industrial Property Trust Inc. (“IPT”) (collectively, “IPT/IIT”) for all other (non-industrial) real estate or debt investment opportunities until such time as it is no longer engaged in a public offering and all of the proceeds from its public offerings have been fully invested. Further, in recognition of the fact that DPF also desires to acquire industrial properties and has a separate day-to-day asset acquisition team, the Sponsor and the Advisor have agreed, subject to changes approved or required by our Conflicts Resolution Committee, that (1) if an industrial property opportunity is a widely-marketed, brokered transaction, DPF, on the one hand, and IPT/IIT, on the other hand, may simultaneously and independently pursue such transaction, and (2) if an industrial property opportunity is not a widely-marketed, brokered transaction, then, as between DPF, on the one hand, and IPT/IIT, on the other hand, the management team and employees of each company generally are free to pursue any such industrial property opportunity at any time, subject to certain allocations if non-widely-marketed transactions are first sourced by certain shared employees, managers or directors. As between us and IPT, the Sponsor will consider certain allocation factors and if an opportunity is equally suitable for us and IPT, then the Advisor will utilize a reasonable allocation method.

 

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

Share Redemption Program

Per the terms of our amended and restated share redemption program (the “Amended SRP”), subject to certain restrictions and limitations, a stockholder may redeem shares of our common stock for cash at a price that may reflect a discount from the purchase price paid for the shares of common stock being redeemed. Shares of common stock must be held for a minimum of one year, subject to certain exceptions. We are not obligated to redeem shares of our common stock under the share redemption program. We presently limit the number of shares to be redeemed during any consecutive 12-month period to no more than five percent of the number of shares of common stock outstanding at the beginning of such 12-month period. We also limit redemptions in accordance with a quarterly cap.

 

30


Table of Contents

After a stockholder has held shares of our common stock for a minimum of one year, our share redemption program may provide a limited opportunity for a stockholder to have its shares of common stock redeemed, subject to certain restrictions and limitations, at a price that may reflect a discount from the purchase price of the shares of our common stock being redeemed (the “Original Purchase Price”), and the amount of the discount (the “Holding Period Discount”) will vary based upon the length of time that a stockholder has held its shares of our common stock subject to redemption, as described in the table below (the “Holding Period Discount Table”), which has been posted on our website at www.industrialincome.com. Except as noted below, the redemption price (the “Redemption Price”) will be calculated by multiplying the Original Purchase Price by the applicable Holding Period Discount. Shares purchased through our distribution reinvestment plan, regardless of the offering in which they were purchased, will not be subject to the Holding Period Discount. With respect to shares of our common stock purchased pursuant to our initial public offering, including shares purchased through our distribution reinvestment plan pursuant to our initial public offering, the Redemption Price will be determined as described above, however the Original Purchase Price paid for such shares first will be increased by four percent, which is the amount by which the offering price increased between our initial public offering and our second public offering (the “Initial Offering Adjustment”) subject to the adjustments applicable to shares of common stock in connection with a redemption request with respect to the death of a stockholder, as described below.

In the event that a stockholder seeks to redeem all of its shares of our common stock, shares of our common stock purchased pursuant to our distribution reinvestment plan may be excluded from the foregoing one-year holding period requirement, in the discretion of our board of directors. If a stockholder has made more than one purchase of our common stock (other than through our distribution reinvestment plan), the one-year holding period will be calculated separately with respect to each such purchase. In addition, for purposes of the one-year holding period, holders of Operating Partnership Units (“OP Units”) who exchange their OP Units for shares of our common stock shall be deemed to have owned their shares as of the date they were issued their OP Units. Neither the one-year holding period nor the Redemption Caps (as defined in the Amended SRP) will apply in the event of the death of a stockholder; provided, however, that any such redemption request with respect to the death of a stockholder must be submitted to us within 18 months after the date of death, as further described in the Amended SRP. Shares of common stock subject to a redemption request with respect to the death of a stockholder will be redeemed at a price equal to (i) with respect to shares purchased in the follow-on offering, 100% of the Original Purchase Price paid by the deceased stockholder for the shares without application of the Holding Period Discount, and (ii) with respect to shares purchased in our initial public offering, the greater of (x) 100% of the Original Purchase Price paid by the deceased stockholder for the shares, without application of the Initial Offering Adjustment or the Holding Period Discount and (y) the Redemption Price determined as described in the paragraph preceding the Holding Period Discount Table, including application of the Initial Offering Adjustment and the Holding Period Discount. Our board of directors reserves the right in its sole discretion at any time and from time to time to (a) waive the one-year holding period and either of the Redemption Caps (defined in the Amended SRP) in the event of the disability (as such term is defined in Section 72(m)(7) of the Internal Revenue Code) of a stockholder, (b) reject any request for redemption for any reason, or (c) reduce the number of shares of our common stock allowed to be redeemed under the share redemption program. A stockholder’s request for redemption in reliance on any of the waivers that may be granted in the event of the disability of the stockholder must be submitted within 18 months of the initial determination of the stockholder’s disability, as further described in the Amended SRP. If our board of directors waives the one-year holding period in the event of the disability of a stockholder, such stockholder will have its

 

31


Table of Contents

shares redeemed as described in the paragraph preceding the Holding Period Discount Table as though the stockholder has held its shares for one year, including application of the Initial Offering Adjustment (if applicable) and the Holding Period Discount. In all other cases in the event of the disability of a stockholder, such stockholder will have its shares redeemed as described in the paragraph preceding the Holding Period Discount Table. Furthermore, any shares redeemed in excess of the Quarterly Redemption Cap (as defined in the Amended SRP) as a result of the death or disability of a stockholder will be included in calculating the following quarter’s redemption limitations. At any time we are engaged in an offering of shares of our common stock, the per share price for shares of our common stock redeemed under our redemption program will never be greater than the then-current offering price of our shares of our common stock sold in the primary offering. The above description of the Amended SRP is a summary of certain of the terms of the Amended SRP. Please see the full text of the Amended SRP, which is incorporated by reference as Exhibit 4.2 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, for all the terms and conditions of the Amended SRP.

For the three months ended March 31, 2014 and 2013, we received eligible redemption requests related to 0.4 million and 0.2 million shares of our common stock, respectively, all of which we redeemed using cash flows from financing activities, for an aggregate amount of $4.2 million, or an average price of $10.05 per share, and $2.3 million, or an average price of $9.83 per share, respectively.
